The breaks change the game more than you’d think, especially when the coach gets to have a strategy session with the whole team. Completely changed the momentum in several games.

You'd calculate return on investment based on invested capital, not on expenses, so this does not follow.

Yes this reads like vacuous AI slop and and the **randomly bolded** text everywhere is a **dead giveaway**. At this point it's becoming a stronger signal than em-dashes.

Home ownership is and would continue be taxed in box 1, so that’s not even superficially the reason for carving out real estate. Box 3 on real estate only come in play for home 2+, and rental properties.

Border guard was wrong. UK used passenger records from transport companies to determine when someone left the country, not face recognition. They do however use face recognition when you take a domestic flight from an international terminal

Something like ten years ago Facebook messenger would by default add the user’s location to every message visible to the recipient. And even worse, unless you disabled this feature, it would give away the distance from you to all your conta

Agreed that it makes no sense to restrict that kind of road to 30km/h, but to be fair most cities that have moved to 30km/h would have excluded that road. Even Amsterdam left the main throughfares at 50km/h: https:/&#x2

Interesting, never heard of this service being provided here (EU), not even sure it would be legal, but makes sense. Apparently they get the information from credit card/mortage applications. The overemployed crowd is two steps ahead t

What kind of background check would reveal all previous employers? Where I’m from a background check usually consists of checking one or two (candidate provided) references and possibly googling their name for red flags.

Yeah I understand where you're coming from. I'm just saying that the tax authorities might not see it that way, and you can end up in really tricky situations unless you have sveral layers that cover you from responsibility. Hence

Be really careful with this unless you know what you’re doing. Setting up a foreign entity that only collects revenue and pays royalties is a known trick and will be looked at very closely by tax inspectors. Worst case they will consider th

Obviously does not follow. It’s like saying that torrential rains that flood your home are actually a good thing, because having no rain at all would be worse. Most things are best in moderation.

By that standard 45 out of 50 states are also getting it wrong, since those arguments apply equally to sales tax as VAT.
