Agreed 100% but it is more complicated for online shopping in general as sales tax is largely unknown in many cases until you have billing or shipping address which is not always known upfront.
In the case of this rule though, related to events and short term lodgings, there is a pretty obvious jurisdiction in most cases so allowing a “government charges” exemption is nonsense.
There is already traction here at the state-level. It’s been the law in California since the summer and Minnesota has something similar going into force on Jan 1st.
I expect many more states to follow with their own rules if these federal rules die with the new administration. I expect some noise to be made but wouldn’t be surprised if it survives for some time to avoid more complex state-level that would be more expensive to manage.
It’s Terranigma, it never got a North America release so not well known there. I’ve never played it but I hear it’s pretty good.
This is a NY state criminal trial, the president can only pardon federal crimes. Doesn’t mean shenanigans can’t happen but it’s unlikely to go away the moment Trump gets into office.
Maybe they will start to realize the persistent election cycle is not a good thing. I would love to see a ban on all election campaigning until 90 days before said election but that wouldn’t get past a 1st amendment challenge.
Not surprised, my basement is 58-64F (~14-18C) year round, no matter how hot or cold it is outside.
It’s cheaper if you don’t have constant load as you are only paying for resources you are actively using. Once you have constant load, you are paying a premium for flexibility you don’t need.
For example, I did a cost estimate of porting one of our high volume, high compute services to an event-driven, serverless architecture and it would be literally millions of dollars a month vs $10,000s a month rolling our own solution with EC2 or ECS instances.
Of course, self hosting in our own data center is even cheaper, where we can buy and run new hardware that we can run for years for a fraction of the cost of even the most cost-effective cloud solutions, as long as you have the people to maintain it.
A large segment of the US population is still extremely anti-Muslim and think they are all terrorists, especially those at the center and center-right. I’ve met numerous supposed “centrist democrats” that think we should turn every Muslim country to glass.
You can checkout Nuphy. They have a number of relatively affordable options that support QMK/VIA and they have put a good amount of thought on reducing noise. The Air60 V2 may fit your needs though it is a low profile keyboard.
The Halo65 is also another option if you want high profile. It is not currently QMK/VIA compatible though but the V2 should be when that ends up getting released.
I have, and use Calibre with LL instead and it still requires a lot of hand holding and manual grooming to get a clean library.
My big issue with Readarr is that it had a hard time fetching data for various popular and/or prolific authors. So if I wanted to fetch all the books for a particular author, there was a high likelihood it wouldn’t actually fetch the necessary book data to do so.
I prefer LazyLibrarian over Readarr but it still leaves a lot to be desired for end-user usability. One of the big issues with ebooks is that data is a mess, with each book having a billion different editions with spotty metadata support that makes it hard to tell what is what.
Goodreads seems like it was a decent source of data for these types of projects but they shut off new API access a couple years ago and legacy access can go away at any moment. Hardcover seems like a promising API alternative but not sure if anyone has started integrating with them yet. Manga and comics seem to be in a better state, with a more rabid fanbase maintaining data but still nowhere near what’s available for movies and tv.
There was most likely a closet or other crawl space storage area there. My house has closets like that but luckily full height entries to them so we can actually step in. I’ve seen other houses with 1/2 or 1/3 height doors leading to under-roof crawl spaces for storage.
I had a family member go through 3 doctors and many months of unbearable pain in their leg, all saying it was a simple sports injury that’ll go away on its own, before someone realized they had a pool noodle sized tumor in their leg. I blame this incompetence for their death.
The attempted robbery of the Hyde Museum
Two guys, one of whom pretending to be a Vanderbilt, attempted to rob a museum but were foiled by getting stuck in holiday traffic in their stolen delivery van.
One of the guys was a suspect in the Isabella Stewart Gardner robbery about a decade later.
Yup, that’s what I said, either entire sum or pay someone to post bond on his behalf.
Either the entire sum or pay someone 10% to post bond. If he doesn’t put up the whole sum 9% interest will continue to accrue (roughly $87k/day). If he doesn’t appeal nor pay, the prosecutor can start asking for assets to be seized.
A Florida cop went full Rambo on his patrol car after an acorn fell on it.

Vast majority of fish and other seafood is flash frozen on the boat, as it’s a significant food safety issue to do otherwise. What you typically buy as “fresh” fish has been thawed in store.
Only real way to get real fresh, never frozen, fish is to catch it yourself, or know someone who does, or see it actually alive in a tank (in which case flavor majorly suffers due to stress of the animal).
PoE works really well, data and power over a single ethernet cable for various low voltage devices. I have PoE powering network switches, WiFi access points, doorbells, cameras and raspberry pis.
America has thousands of tax jurisdictions, every state, county, city/town can impose their own set of taxes. For the longest time, online shopping was effectively tax-free shopping unless you happened to be based in the same state as the seller. That is largely not the case anymore though as various states passed legislation to enforce tax collections on online sales rather than trust the consumer to volunteer that info when it’s time to fill out tax forms.
