Here’s the problem with that logic. If you make fines proportional to income, so that the punishment is “balanced,” then, to be consistent, you need to make prison terms inversely proportional to income, since prison is a bigger penalty for a rich person with a very comfortable lifestyle than (say) someone living…

Ideally, the salary floor would be a function of the games won in the previous year. Set it at $50M, but for every game below 500 you were last year, you have to spend an additional $2 million. So, if your team isn’t winning, you need to put money in to improve the product. Similarly, a $200M cap, but reduced by $1M…

Thanks - didn’t see the underlying link, and misread the recap in this article.  With a $50M start and $82M average, that implies about a 7% annual inflator, and $124M/year by the end of the contract. 

It’s a 15 year deal that ends up at $82M/year. If the price rises by 5%/year, that means it’s around $41M/year out of the gate.

My Fidelity solo 401(k) has zero fees. Solo 401(k) is also better for lower earners who have the ability to save more, since there’s no % cap for saving the salary deferral.  As an example, if you have $20k in business profit, you can save $18k+ in a solo 401(k), vs. around $5k in a SEP, as I recall.  Helpful if the…

I still don’t understand why anyone would do a SEP IRA rather than a solo 401(k).  As far as I can tell, the solo 401(k) provides just the same benefits, but allows you to shelter a higher % of your income.  

5.7 seconds is early 80s Countach speeds.  It’s much faster than Magnum PI’s Ferrari.  It’s really pretty amazing. 

Or, clawing desperately at the inside of his coffin.  Either way, not going to be much help.  

It’s common knowledge that God hates Morganbrook East.

“This is a over-complicated solution to a problem that should not exist on multi-engine planes.”

So, in theory, you could put the A-10 on a runway, spool up one of its engines to full power, release the brakes, then fire the cannon, and push the plane backwards?

In this case, “unmatched” just means “will burst into flame without the need for matches.”

If those two ever came into contact, it would be like bringing together two sub-critical masses of plutonium, except with douche.

Within the next 24 months?  Maybe.  Your previous post said “early next year,” which seems a really aggressive timeframe to me.  

That package IS the ESPN direct-to-consumer offering.  Disney gets around $12/month for every cable and satellite customer in the country.  If they offer the main ESPN channel streaming, then they risk the cable operators saying “nope, not paying it, if any of customers complain about losing ESPN, we’ll offer them $10…

OK, I really didn’t get the Klingon elements in this episode.  So, T’Rell now has a box which can make the Klingon homeworld uninhabitable, and that’s how she’s going to convince these warring houses to unite?  If I’m the head of one of the warring houses, don’t I immediately think “whoever has that box is in charge,…

You don’t even need that. Any DL will do, because all the states have waivers, and even without the waivers, you only need a DL from a state that issues Real ID compliant driver’s licenses.  Yours doesn’t have to be. 

As a Trusted Traveler, you may update your passport and driver’s license through your TTP account at https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/, so long as you are renewing an existing passport and are not incorporating a name change in the updated passport or it is new document not previously associated with your account.

Yeah, it annoys me too, but I kind of get that.  Kids change so fast that even a five year old picture can be useless, and a ten year picture definitely would be.  Even so, the cost to process and produce the passport is the same.  

When you get your new passport, you can update your global entry info with your new passport number online, no need to go in person.
