There is no need for exact numbers. I'm mostly interested in your tax bracket and effective federal and state rates. It sounds like you had a good year with a one-time payment that couldn't be classified as long-term gains, virtua

Oh boy. Tax brackets are incremental. Most people in the 40% bracket will not pay anywhere near 40%. There is a theoretical possibility that someone, who's income exceeds the highest bracket MANY times will have an effective tax rate a

I'm all for the TikTok ban but listening to your last argument a reasonable opponent might notice that: 1. You assume others play dirty by default, even though we never caught them red-handed. Not necessarily unreasonable, but see 2. 2

Do you mind me asking, what does the last calculation do: pi=(pi * 100 | 0 ) / 100; EDIT: Ah, nvm. It's truncating the result to 2 decimal places.

Are you saying that there will be a large number of Starships on duty for immediate launch to deploy kill vehicles over an arbitrary area in space over and around the US? I'm no expert but this sounds pretty different form what Starshi

When we moved to the US with two babies last year it was very important for us to buy non-toxic furniture. We ended up buying a sofa and chairs from Medley. Their products are made in LA out of wood and are free of formaldehyde, flame retar

I think it's even more precious that the boy has learned how to learn and has developed a taste for achievement based on a dopamine loop that doesn't employ sugar or special effects in 4K.

It sounds like you are from the West. Thank you for explaining the psychology of my people so clearly to me. I think I understand it better now but it looks like I can use some book reading. Any recommendations?

Have you been to Vietnam? There is no comparison between what was done to them and Serbia, yet Vietnam has moved on. Victimhood is strong in the Balkans, it's a way of life. I know because I was born there.

Yep, ChatGPT did a pretty impressive job when I tested a few days ago. Just grab a mockup from a Google search and prompt ChatGPT 4 to generate a web page. I'm sure your milage may vary. However, my point was that Phind's answer w
