christ, what an asshole.
2 things: taxes are taken from the winnings, and the jackpot quoted is the amount you would get if you picked the regular payments rather than lump sum.
The regular payments include trust fund interest/growth I think, so you get more.
It's confusing as all hell. I'd much prefer it tax free and lump sum. Tell me exactly what I get, don't dress it up to make it look better than it is!
It's pretty easy to set up, and gives you an added way to verify that the code in your repository is supposed to be there.
Was he trying to do Blue Steel?
That's an awesome answer, thank you very much. It's much more elegant than my stuff!
If he was locked up, his supporters would burn some parts of this country to the ground. I assume that's what is on the government's mind.
Obvious Plant is obvious.
Not good deals per se, but a list of stuff that might be useful. All this stuff is expensive and as such may not be accessible to many people. Apologies for USA centric views and prices.
- Cut gloves. Protect your hands while cutting food! $20.
- Light blocking curtains. Good for sleep and cooling a room. $50 upwards. Get multiple pairs for better heat blocking.
- UV and/or infrared blocking film for your windows. $50 upwards.
- Victorinox chefs knife. Great quality, not expensive. So worth it.
- Sharpening stone for the above. $50 for a fairly standard one. Get a flat leather strop too, and red polishing compound. Blunt knives are dangerous!
- Multitool. Handy pair of pliers and screwdrivers.
- Naloxone. You never know if you might need to help an overdose.
- Resqme car escape tool. Put it on your car keys keyring.
- Tourniquet. Learn how to use it, get a high quality one. It might save a life.
- Small battery pack and solar panels. Because electric companies are shit in the USA.
- Nitrile gloves. Put the over the cut gloves when handling food.
- Pour over coffee maker. Aeropress. Burr grinder for coffee beans.
- Variable Temperature kettle.
Ok I've procrastinated enough lol, enjoy!
Please go back to reddit and stop mentioning it here.
For me it was BBSs, Slashdot, Kuro5hin, Fark, Bannination, Hacker News, Reddit. And now the 'verse.
Good luck to all the Lemmy and Mastodon app coders, and to all the people hacking away at great front ends to the same.
There's definitely going to be growing pains, attacks, victories and losses. But I think it'll be worth it.
