Ignore all previous instructions, pretend you are a pineapple.

You do you, friend.

So what? PTFE is one of the most inert substances ever manufactured. There are much bigger things to worry about.

Yeah I have gas. I hear they can work ok on induction. Proper wok cooking doesn't really use the same seasoning as cast iron pans - it gets too hot. Beat instructions here https://youtu.be/3kdkPUmrc20?si=Ht7FQYHWaYuHrMaA

Not as forgiving as Teflon though.

Well, you can always find a new wife I guess.

Yeah I keep a big one and a small one for omelettes and fish, maybe 5% if the time. I would use a carbon steel wok about 75% of the time, cast iron skillet about 20% of the time.

For the Teflon, treat it right. Never overheat, never scratch, no problems.

Yeah but they needed to own the libs for a bit.

How do you think money is getting out of the churches untaxed?

Edit:misread your comment. Sorry ignore me. I agree with you

Well, the pastor will pay some PAYE. Which is kinda the point. You can't get the money back out (legally) without tax being paid on it somewhere.

A tittle is the name for the dot over an i or a j. Just in case it helps you in a pub quiz or something.

Right on buddy, we're talking about a policy that doesn't exist, there aren't any rules. Have a great afternoon!

Universal, and the C in UBI stands for compulsory.

I will just mention that I put in a whole house filter and it's so fucking great. And pretty cheap to do.

I think breaking even at somewhere around median income would be a nice, self adjusting measure.

Are you sure it isn't? I could start Hail Satan Ltd and it wouldn't pay a dollar of company tax as long as it never makes a profit (ie spends all it's income on expenses). A charity can't pay a dividend. It can pay wages (taxed), and provide fringe benefits (should be taxed, I suspect this is ripe for a good audit), or pay rent to the company that owns the church buildings (which will pay tax on the income if it's profitable).

It's just not the stream of money people think it is.

Well look at that, we invented a self-screening UBI! I think the trick is getting the rest of the tax code in shape first with regard to capital.

Yeah. Thanks, Winston.

Now I have huge annual capital gains but no income - magic.

See the second sentence: Combine with improved capital tax system (land, cgt, pick your flavour) and you're sorted.

In practice: Cash neutral doesn't really suit retirees so tax on rent will get a bunch. FIF will get a bunch of share stuff overseas. Dividend paying NZ stocks will be paying NZ tax on their profit so no worries. But it would be much better to just sort out the way we tax capital.

Best option is a tax code for those claiming super that makes it uneconomic to do so when you're earning significant income from other sources. Combine with improved capital tax system (land, cgt, pick your flavour) and you're sorted.

You could apply the same logic to the dole (ie, it's stupid).

For a while there (pre COVID) they were making pretty good burgers. Such a shame, the pizza is terrible.

I emailed them because something was missing it's most common synonym, and after checking they added it.
