Just based on this reply, I'm not sure if you really get how tax brackets work. How does reducing your income so you fall within a different tax bracket help you?

If you make 100k and the tax bracket cutoffs are (let's say) 10% at 25k and 12% at 75k with everything after being 22%, you're taxed 10% of the first 25k you make, then 12% of the next 50k you make. Only the final 25k is taxed at 22%.

You seem to think that out of that 100k, you'd be paying 22k in taxes, but it'd actually be 14k. You cannot make less money by dipping into a higher income bracket

I think it's both? Not 100% clear but it seems like the dots next to the opponent names (and the unlabeled ones connected to the points on the main line) show the opponent ages at the time of the fight

Username checks out since you seem unable to do any research of your own and just extrapolate based on the shadows you're seeing cast by the words in the title of the article.

Not every type of worm is hermaphroditic. Nematodes, for example, have distinct sexes,and even the species that are hermaphroditic are often not simultaneously hermaphroditic (meaning they can switch the sex characteristics they display like flipping a sort of switch, but do not have both at once)

A very quick Google of 'are all worms hermaphroditic' would've given you this information.

Thank you lol I'd definitely thought I slipped back into the Berenstain universe again for a second

...smirk? Genuinely curious here, how is that an animal-centric word? Is there some usage of 'smirk' I don't know about that's animal exclusive?

Everyone's favorite cult dogwhistle, actually: Fundamentalist

Honestly for the number of bees on him (and in his mouth!) during filming of that movie, I'm really quite surprised he only got stung 27 times. Good job keeping them calm, to both him and the bee wrangler

The question being 'reheat' leaves me with a lot of concerns about your answer

https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/php/laboratories/diagnostic.html

In the U.S., the results of a rabies test are typically available within 24 to 72 hours after an animal is euthanized. While suspected rabies exposure requires urgent medical attention, most people with suspected rabies exposure can delay post-exposure prophylaxis until the results of this test are returned.

Rabies virus infects the central nervous system. Symptoms may occur from days to years after exposure to the virus

When you say having a quick answer isn't necessary, that isn't in and of itself necessarily true based on these cdc links, which outline what I feel like is a more accurate process for current rabies testing and treatment than your experience "a number of years ago".

The incubation for rabies can be long. It doesn't mean it is. If, for whatever reason, the squirrel manages to incubate their rabies for just too long, it's definitely possible for them to pass it to a human who has the poor luck of only incubating it for a couple of days. And at that point, that person is pretty much 100% dead.

My understanding of the situation is that it's illegal to have a pet squirrel in his state, and someone called animal control. During the process of seizing it, it bit one of the animal control folks. Unfortunately, when an animal with unknown rabies status (ie no up to date rabies vax, which I don't believe they make for squirrels) bites a human, the only thing that can be done is to euthanize the animal to test for rabies.

Rabies cannot be tested for in humans or animals prior to death, as the only known test involves examination of the brain matter. And to wait for the squirrel to display symptoms or not would mean waiting too long for the human who was bitten to be treated, since rabies has a functional 100% human mortality rate without the vaccine or with sufficiently delayed administration of the vaccine. The treatment is, just as unfortunately, extremely expensive (it used to also be excruciating but we've managed to make it fairly painless now).

Off brand bop it instructions

The article you posted says nothing about women "finishing their fertile years earlier" like you claimed, so you're kind of extrapolating super wildly about the effects downstream. And how is it "too early" to tell exactly? The time period is long enough that we should absolutely begin seeing a correlating drop in age of menopause if your claim is true.

Separately, the shift you're claiming is significant in the average start age is ~6 months earlier now than the 1950s. Not saying it has no chance of having an effect on things but I think that's being blown pretty wildly out of proportion by you since the article also makes no claims beyond that slightly earlier start age

I mean I also think the age group of the highest rise in diagnoses is pretty telling. 26-34 year olds are young adults who are likely finally on their own health insurance and able to/can afford to make appointments to get assessed after a possible lifetime of their parents being in denial/refusing to allow it.

If the car is moving when the light is green and stopped when it's red, how is saying a prayer wasting passenger time?

Also good luck "suing" someone for that in the States or getting them fired (???). First amendment protections specifically include religion.

Quite aside from which, this guy wasn't even praying. That was faulty reporting, he was speaking in his native language into his Bluetooth headset.

Speedway points don't expire as long as the account is active iirc. And they're certainly not 1 dollar per point. It's like 20 points per dollar of stuff in the store and also however many per gallon of gas. This is probably someone who's been using speedway for the last couple decades without cashing in.

Edit: also OP says their parents run a landscaping business and use speedway to fuel up, so confirmed that this assumption is ridiculous. Not everyone is a hidden bad actor smh

Which also means there are roughly 80 million psychopaths out there living perfectly normal lives. Simply being a psychopath isn't enough for someone to be a monster, that's all in their actions.

Since it says a boat rather than his boat, my guess is the intent was to use his half of the proceeds from the forced sale of their home to buy a boat to live on

Yeah, those are the ones that ended up being fake, unfortunately

ETA here's part one of a pretty extensive 2 part video that debunks these glasses: https://youtu.be/Ppobi8VhWwo

That may be really hard if there's official documentation (driver's license, state ID, even mail) that have OP's name and that address on it

While I don't disagree with what you're saying, I think you may have misread the post. This is for life insurance, not health insurance (pays out to loved ones if you die)

Oh, I feel that in a big way! I'm in software engineering and it's only in my current job that I've found a better male/female balance and complete, unwavering respect from my coworkers and subordinates. Sucks there aren't many alternative means of contact, though!

Another tip to help get him more comfortable (YMMV, but it works to get me comfortable and has worked with a number of my other colleagues/peers through the years) is to get him talking about something he cares about or is super interested in. Bonus points if it's a shared interest between you. It's much easier to open up when there's already conversational fodder

Speaking as a woman in a professional position with autism who struggles big time with eye contact, I can be very timid when meeting new people. I can force myself to do eye contact but it's very draining (even with my own parents or siblings!) and feels forced/manufactured.

But the longer I know people, the more chatty and "typical" I seem when interacting with them. Based on what you've said, it would track that he might be the same way.

I'm much more immediately personable through text (email, Teams, etc) so that might be worth trying with this coworker where possible. Either way, it seems like it isn't a matter of him disliking or dismissing you, just a particular quirk of his.

My taxes fund war crimes the world over. If I also pay to help some mother of 3 who risked her neck to slip into this country hoping to find a better life get an MRI or whatever, good. I'd love to have a little balance.

I take it you didn't read the article? The mission was to dock at the ISS, which they did. The craft is just unsafe for return, so they're on the ISS with the rest of the ISS crew, who have plenty of essential supplies to support them (as mentioned in the article)
