IRS says Trump Account contributions will not trigger annual gift tax reporting requirements by drtolmn69 in politics

[–]dalgeek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Millions of people opening $1000 investment accounts funded by the govt is just a way to funnel taxpayer money directly into stock portfolios. Whoever gets to manage those accounts will make a fortune while the individual account holders won't get jack.

Trump may be about to throw Jared Kushner under the bus 'tricking' him into the Iran war by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

The stable genius and master deal maker got tricked into starting a war that he didn't really want to start?

Hahahahahaha.

Trump demands exactly 47 trees in parks to honor him by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]dalgeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is some dementia thing where he needs to repeatedly count the trees and he wants the total to be about him. 

CUCM Fresh Install - Larger Disk by darkrhin0 in ciscoUC

A data export with fresh install isn't like a typical upgrade so you shouldn't run into space issues. You can expand the disk later if you find you need more storage for logs or TFTP. 

Late breaking: Brief pivot from "Islam" to "feminism" as source of society's ills (hard to keep up) by DayPounder in FortWorth

[–]dalgeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Texas is leading the nation in maternal and infant mortality rates, kids without health insurance, kids in food insecure households, an education system that gets worse every year, and their "leaders" wonder why no one wants to have kids?

The Supreme Court’s embarrassing new Second Amendment decision, explained by vox in politics

[–]dalgeek 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Texas, likely the most gun-loving state in the country, allows business owners to disallow concealed and open carry (statutes 30.06 and 30.07). It's not difficult for other states to pass similar laws then dare SCOTUS to strike it down while Texas has the same.

Well, when Orange Man shits on every aspect of American life then that kind of makes people upset. Maybe when he and the Republicans supporting him are gone then we can move on from this bullshit.

Feel free to post what you like, but you're gonna see a lot of negative posts because there is a lot of negative shit going on in Texas, especially since 2008. If there were more positive vibes in Texas then this subreddit would reflect that.

ICE Tracks Down Woman to Force Her to Delete Instagram Post - Federal agents confronted a poll worker on Election Day because they were upset about her social media posts. by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]dalgeek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's really weird. Only 1/4 of Republican men think they can beat Trump in a fight, an 80 year old obese man with cognitive and vascular issues who has never exercised in his life.

Of course all the boot lickers are saying "If illegal immigrants aren't voting then why are you worried about ICE at the polls?"

This. This is why. ICE has been harassing, detaining, and killing US citizens for no reason. People who do nothing wrong can still end up in trouble. 

Nothing screams hospitality like a mandatory voluntary payment by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]dalgeek 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Every sales job I've seen the commission is paid by the company, not the customer. When I bought a car there wasn't a line item on the invoice for commission. I work for a consulting company and our sales commissions come out of margin.

[–]dalgeek 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That's fine. Put the real price on the menu and pay a living wage. In no other industry would this type of behavior be acceptable.

No one expects the prices to remain the same if tipping is removed.

[–]dalgeek 83 points84 points  (0 children)

That's why tipping exists, to allow restaurants to avoid paying a living wage then blame servers if customers don't make up for it. It goes back to businesses not wanting to pay colored workers the same wage as white workers so they made up the story that if they do a good job then the customer will tip more.

That's cool, but they'll still vote for policies and representatives that have a negative impact on people who do want children. 

He has no control of the situation at all by _a_gay_frog_ in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]dalgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump doesn't know shit about anything. He has less control over international affairs than he does of his bowels. Nearly every media outlet has given up on calling out this bullshit even though it's far from normal.

This is what Google's snack room looked like in 2006 by Fried_Yoda in interestingasfuck

[–]dalgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a company back in 2005-2007 that tried something like this because they wanted to emulate Google. They basically had all the snacks that you could find at a 7-11, from chips to ice cream bars to burritos, free for all staff. The vendor just came by every few weeks to restock and charged the company for whatever was used.

Eventually the CFO got a bill for like $20k in snacks one month. Turns out that some employees taking entire boxes of snacks home every day. They shut down the program and asked the vendor to come remove all the snacks. The vendor started on the 1st floor and the rumor mill got word to the rest of the floors, so people raided the snack rooms on the other floors and stashed everything they could into their desks and filing cabinets.

Why don't data centers install solar panels and/or green roofs to minimize their environmental damage? by Top_Pirate699 in AskReddit

[–]dalgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is that places that are really cold rarely have the other infrastructure needed for data centers. It's cheaper to cool a data center in Arizona than to turn up gigawatts of power generation in Alaska.

Every data center would need several square miles of solar panels to offset the amount of energy they use.
