New 3DS Plus Teams 2024 ME+ Pro U

Wait are you joking or is this real? That is a ridiculous name/version.

FederatedSaint,

Once you start to learn Excel, you quickly realize the depths of the functions and understand that a one pager called “everything you can do in Excel” is laughably optimistic.

FederatedSaint,

FederatedSaint,

I still cringe at the “posted on x, formerly known as Twitter” wording everyone feels the need to use, even almost a year later.

I think we should all just call it Twitter and ignore the name change.

FederatedSaint,

No need to be sexist. I don’t care about your opinion on my muscles regardless of what’s in your pants.

FederatedSaint,

Do you have to mash it? Or will pressing it normally work?

FederatedSaint,

When working on an office, it’s great and all that you have “the power of accurate observation” but god our Debbie downer is insufferable.

Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?

It’s the one thing when I’m configuring things that makes me wince because I know it will give me the business, and I know it shouldn’t, but it does, every time. I have no real idea what I’m doing, what it is, how it works, so of course I’m blindly following instructions like a monkey at a typewriter....

FederatedSaint,

Just think of your computer or server as a huge building with thousands of doors. Most are closed, but you purposely open a few to allow traffic in and/or out of. Those that are open are only open for a specific purpose and will only lead in or out of a specific place in the building.

Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more (apnews.com)

Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require that ride-hailing services increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour....

FederatedSaint,

I don’t know the economics, truly, but there are a LOT more expenses involved in running a large business like Uber on top of driver wages, such as technology service and hardware costs, programmers and central admin/customer service, rent or cost of buildings including utilities, insurance, taxes, fees, consulting and auditing, cybersecurity, legal, and probably quite a bit more I can’t think of. Running a business is friggin expensive.

Definitely not defending paying workers less, just trying to explain why they still might not be in the black even in your scenario.

FederatedSaint,

I think NM is ok, but we Coloradoans fuckin’ LOVE our flag.

FederatedSaint, (edited )

Yeah you can just say zero. I used to do that back when I was young and didn’t earn enough to owe taxes.

The worksheets, exemptions, and filing status data you fill out on a W4 is not reported to the IRS or anything, it’s just so they can look up a withholding amount in a table for you, but if you want something different withheld, just say so.

Remember that if you owe taxes that will mean the full bill will come due come tax season. No refund and sometimes a big outlay!

FederatedSaint, (edited )

This is opposite of what OP is asking. If you claim zero exemptions then your employer will pull the most out of your check, giving you a bigger refund come tax time and smaller net paychecks.

OP wants to do the opposite by having their employer pull no tax withholdings (deductions) from their check.

FederatedSaint,

She looks a bit like Audrey Hepburn in this shot.

FederatedSaint,

I fuckin HATE ayn rand, but those workers are being paid for their labor, they’re not slaves. If that labor provides a little profit or a lot of profit is up to good or bad business practices of the company they’re working for, and doesn’t need to be shared with them outright, unless it happens naturally as a result of supply/demand making their labor more valuable (because otherwise they’d just go somewhere else where they will be paid more).

The crux here is that for this to happen appropriately, we need to be living in an ideal world with appropriate laws, no corruption, exploitation, loopholes, bribing, lobbying, etc. and we do not currently live in that world, so the above is just theoretical.

FederatedSaint,

If you’ve ever read atlas shrugged and not rolled your eyes or went, “god this is insufferable” then you might be a Republican lol.

FederatedSaint,

Hot take: I have never regretted being circumcized and never met anyone who regretted being circumcized so banning it doesn’t make sense for that reason alone. Some parents pierce their children’s ears without their consent, some give them frenectomies, pull teeth, reshape heads, bind feet, or do a variety of other “elective” procedures so I’m not sure why circumcision has so much hate.

FederatedSaint,

The sad thing here is that this could seriously harm someone who can’t get vaccinated.

FederatedSaint,

Or they can just not allow pets wtf?

FederatedSaint,

Fucking NO god damn it we hate people like you SO MUCH

FederatedSaint,

Not all humans want pets. And those humans don’t like to be forced to live among other people’s pets.

FederatedSaint,

Pets don’t need to be “part of the human experience” any more than drugs do. They’re optional and some people choose to have them and some don’t. Some people don’t like pets and don’t want to be forced to live around others’ pets.

Have you even thought for a second that some people might CHOOSE housing based on the fact that a community doesn’t allow pets? And by “mandating all landlords allow pets” you are eliminating housing options for these people? God you people are like religious zealots and think everyone should be forced to believe in the same things you do.

Friggin crazy fascists. “You’re going to like my pitbull (oh he’s harmless and you’re dog-racist if you believe otherwise) and now I want to force you to raise your kids around my untrained shit factory and step in his crap and listen to him bark constantly or you’re a horrible person.”

Holy hell I hate you with the passion of a thousand suns.

FederatedSaint,

Dude you’re arguing opposite your position. The internal consistency of your argument has broken down.

You say above you’re against a rule like “no one else can have orange stuff because I don’t like orange stuff” while at the same time arguing “everyone else has to like pets because I like pets.” Can’t you see how that’s hypocritical?

And to be clear, you completely misrepresent my position in the first place. I’m not for requiring anyone to do anything. I’m against requiring landlords to allow pets. If they want to allow pets, great 👍.

But if a property owner wants to advertise their community as quieter (no barking), cleaner, with less poop and pee on the grass, and less dander in the air, then why would you prohibit renters from seeking a nicer place like that for them to live?

FederatedSaint,

Ok I was prepared to start white-knighting here and tell you to fuck off for making fun of a disabled person but then I thought I’d search this up first and…well, carry on.
