I got a 30/100 for this which is absurdly high
The best way to stay warm is to rob someone colder.
Thate
A middle-aged safecracker, Mark Wahlberg, breaks into a cryonics facility and gets locked in its sub-zero vault with an imperious immortalist CEO, Tilda Swinton, who thaws only on her own terms. While the two negotiate, flirt and strip a corpse of its security clearance, her estranged co-founder, Christopher Lloyd, rewrites the facility's protocols from the basement to erase her for good. A bounty hunter, Jada Pinkett Smith, arrives with a shotgun and her own claim on the frozen dead. Three days in, the thaw gets romantic.

Literally nothing here is in anyway contradictory to anything I’ve said lol. And for the kid to eventually get the free $250 (including appreciation) you don’t even have to do anything and can avoid the Ts & Cs.

Again, situation dependent, but the hourly rate of filing Form 4547 & setting up the account just to get control of the $250 vs just putting that equivalent $$ into a 529 (which was my read of the OP) is probably a wash. You can ofc do nothing and the kid gets the account in the future.

I believe this is the piece made this case related to Vance’s late-republic analogy. Reminds me of a band that lets the crowd sing the chorus. He didn’t specifically say “Caesar,” but let’s the audience fill in the blank: www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04...

If you pay an accountant to do your tax returns, or if your time is in any way valuable, it’s probably more than $250 in work; like I said depending on your situation. That plus the continual information sharing has caused some HNW clients (and practitioners) I know to pass. It’s a judgement call 🤷‍♂️

McIrwin @mcirwin47.bsky.social · 13h
Depending on your situation the compliance cost alone will cost more than $250 & the ongoing information sharing is intrusive and looks to me designed to trip up unsophisticated (from a tax or financial planning perspective) people. You can generally get similar benefits by other, simpler means 🤷‍♂️

Then Nassau County basically stopped building housing for 4 decades. Interestingly the GOP dominance in Suffolk County is cracking a bit. Upstate is turning redder but is also hemorrhaging population outside of a couple small blue areas. Idk how it will settle in the end.

Isn’t the issue in part that Bolsonaro’s son is arguably more charismatic than his dad, low bar but still (not to mention overt structural support from the Brazilian military and judiciary)?

Obviously the staff is still getting used to being in different situations, but things could come off the rails for us the next two months. Could very easily be under .500 after Thanksgiving.

I’ve played basketball on too many nonregulaution sized courts in gyms behind rectories to fall for “effective altruism.” Not to mention our “altruism” was actually volunteering in soup kitchens or food pantries every weekend, not imagining a scenario that justifies hoarding wealth lol

I think curriculum reform is a pretty salient case to make that has broad support across multiple stakeholders, and it identifies a real issue without targeting a specific group and gets to a (not the) root cause. Problem being the positive results can take a lot of time to see.

Moved to Spartanburg County from NY in elementary school & a teacher used the term sandlapper to specifically refer to people from low country, pee dee and midlands. not the upstate, and I remember thinking this is a distinction I never could’ve imagined existing. Now it might impact the senate

Mother Jones

The fall of an empire-the end of a polity, a socioeconomic order, a dominant culture, or the intertwined whole-looks more like a cascading series of minor, individually unimportant failures than a dramatic ending that appears out of the blue.
Comparisons between the United States and Rome go back to the very beginning. The first volume of Edward Gibbon's magisterial The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was published in 1776, the year of the Declaration of Independence. The Founding Fathers had a deep appreciation and understanding of classical antiquity, and to some extent, they modeled aspects of their new nation on that understanding of the Roman past. Southern planters retained a distinct fondness for the Roman aristocracy, cultivating a life of high-minded leisure on the backs of chattel slaves.
