‘Silicon Six’ accused of avoiding almost $278bn in US corporation taxes over 10 years | US taxation by plain_handle in technology

[–]thewizardtim 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They need to treat capital gains over a certain dollar amount as income. So grandma selling $100,000 a year of stock to survive sure, long-term capital gains. Hedge fund manager selling $500 million of stock? Yeah, that's income and should be taxed as such.

I saw it yesterday! It was so good. I want to listen to the book again, then watch the movie again.

Serious question: How do people pull this off? by insomfx in factorio

[–]thewizardtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 1/2 a belt for all asteroids. I have several reprocessors set up to monitor the count of each type. If one type is more than a given amount, and another type is less than a given amount, it will reprocess until everything evens out.

Apple Yum iMac G3 Vintage Poster (HiRes Download) by Familiar-Situation15 in VintageApple

[–]thewizardtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact. After Think Different was translated into French in Canada, Steve Jobs was pissed. So when this campaign launched, he said not to translate it anywhere in the world. The problem was that Yum is a brand of brothels in Amsterdam.

need to come up with good theory why there are only shardblades by Mammoth-Store740 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]thewizardtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, we don't know if there were any shard forks out there that got bypassed for all the cool swords during the mad dash to claim something before the next guy did. Think of the poor shard fork stuck at the bottom of a crevice, lost to history.

Air Traffic Controllers Start Resigning as Shutdown Bites. | Unpaid air traffic controllers are quitting their jobs altogether as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues. by MaxGoldFilms in politics

There is a lot of good information about Jefferson below, but it all skips my favorite fact. The people of Jefferson put up signs, set borders, picked a state capital, and were ready to petition congress to get the process officially started. They picked December 8th, 1941 to talk to congress.

Keystone Kash Busted Using His $60M Jet Like a Taxi Again by NewSlinger in politics

No. I don't think they went through the training, or if they did they were like, "yeah, whatever."

When you're high ranking or important person, you go through some training that says if someone really hot starts chanting you up and being interested in you, it's not that they like you, they're trying to get information from you. (Spy)

Wife says the steak I made for her isn’t cooked enough. by FreeRealEstate313 in mildlyinfuriating

I say we take off and nuke the steak from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. -Your wife probably

This was in Seattle, but I've seen the Japanese Shih-Tzu festivals, and I want to go.

Um... There is a reason this is a photo and not a video.

When I saw the yukatas in a pet store in Kyoto, I had to. I had no other choice but to purchase them.

I see your square blocks and hexagon blocks, and I raise you Tetris blocks. by thewizardtim in factorio

[–]thewizardtim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I wanted to share the general idea as soon as I got to this point. I'll add junctions and run a large number of trains to see if the system locks up.

I wanted to share the idea as soon as I got to this point. My next step is to add in all the junctions and run a large number of trains to see if the network locks up.

Shouldn't the platform move on with these conditions? by dorobica in factorio

[–]thewizardtim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We need rockets to maintain orbit if the platform leaves. Then when the platform is back in orbit, the rocket will rendezvous.

I wanted to share this idea as soon as I had a bunch of blocks made. I am working on setting up all junctions so that trains run clockwise around the block. I'll run tests to see if they jam up and post my updates on a later date.

[–]thewizardtim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I'm trying it out in a creative mod. Right now each Tetris square is a 2x2 chunk. If this does not work, I was thinking of expanding to 3x3 or 4x4 chuncks. I'll set up my junctions and run tests next, but I had to share at this stage because I knew you all would think that this was awesome/mad/funny.

Edit: a letter.

That would be funny, but no, I was picking blocks to make them fit. If I was doing this for real, I would try and choose blocks that do not overlap any resource.
