I'd say you already had a few pre-releases that Spotify'd your boxers.

That scared the CRAP out of me when I got the album on the day of release. I was "caretaking" a set of 4 way JBL studio monitors with 18" bass drivers (they came out of Air Montserrat after the hurricane destroyed the island). Amp was on full chat and I was chillin' after Nevermind had "finished"! 😭

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

Even having looked it up to find out what it is, I'm still convinced it is an onomatopoeic word for vomit.

Level 42 excellent musicians - some of the jazzier stuff they pull off is brilliant. Having said all that, the band would amount to very little without Mike Lindup. While I still have my (1983) Jaydee bass, my original Trace Elliott amp was stolen, but replaced with an Ashdown MK as my main rig.

Without the policy, the purpose puts it outside any grey area. You're saying it's ok to install a camera in your bathroom, tell no one, and then only use that data "personally". In the eyes of the law, the two are equivalent. You can ask me how I know all this, and all I can tell you is, training.

Close. It was only the number of likes, shares and comments that let it down. We'll let the double "I'm" go, as that could easily have been real!

The DPA2018 covers private property as well, and is clear on that. At minimum, the person responsible has to provide a policy around data access and security, notices of surveillance at all entry points. The notices must give contact details of the data holder, and how to access the policy.

Actually, the country list is often just a component of the framework / platform that was used to build the website, so not under the designer's control: just add the component, and a country drop-down list magically appears in the page. The COMPONENTS are in the hands of shady cabals of course. 🤣

We don't live in a capitalist society. Not in the true definition of capitalism anyway, where trickle-down means a well-fed, healthy and housed, indentured workforce. We actually live in an era of corporate avarice.

At the 1st US firm I was contracted to (I'm in Ireland), they asked for my dollar rate. I told them. They said they'd get back to me. A day later the VP told me I would need to UP my price by at least $20/hr, as they couldn't risk the team finding out they were hiring cheaper labour. I obliged.

How to tell you either have no daughters, or that they don't feel safe enough to tell you some of the things that have happened to them, just for being female. Ye gods and little fishes, but I despair at times.

The only scrambled egg I wasn't happy about, was in a cafe in Kilburn back in the 90s. I watched the waitress - yes, waitress - scramble my egg using the milk frother of the coffee machine. Tasted like it too. She asked me not to order eggs again as she didn't like making them. 🙊🤢
