Well do you have flag?

This begs the question though: What if you worked from home like this but the rest of the world was in non-pandemic mode? Your kids still got to go to school, restaurants were open, no limits on number of people in a store? Real estate (both commercial and residential) would get turned on its head, but you could make…

We need to be supporting small businesses much more than we are now

Or you could just, like, rent a car when you need it?  Create a “rental escrow” bank account and throw $50 a month into it?

I think the issue is that those headlight are often times both - obnoxiously bright to oncoming traffic and don’t throw the light far enough for the driver because the light has no focus and direction.

That sounds like something a CIA agent would say...

Well, that’s kind of the point. Over the last generation or so being gay has gone from being both a crime and a mental disorder to something that is a small enough deal that you can maybe still get elected president. We’ve had 46 presidents so far, 45 or 46 of whom have been heterosexual (depending on your opinion of…

That is certainly one way to look at it. It’s not factually correct, though: he did in fact win the Iowa caucuses. Also, he is not in fact a CIA agent. What you are saying are conspiracy theories.

I think Buttigieg’s nomination is actually pretty interesting, if you care about politics. This is a guy who has just vaulted himself from mayor of a small city, to a Cabinet post running a department that is in itself half the size of said city. He did it by raising his profile with a presidential run—one that was…

Neutral: My first interaction will be me, getting more and more frustrated at the slow, erratic driving of a delivery van to the point where I start shouting and honking angrily. It is only after I finally pass the inconsiderate asshole will I discover it was driverless. The slow realization that I was the real…

if they didn’t want you to use all that runway, then they shouldn’t have paved it.

If you’re scared of nuclear power

And, if you don’t understand climate change at this point, we’re not debating anymore. You’re behind and we’re going to have to leave you behind or just drag you along kicking and screaming.

Hopefully with a functioning adult in the White House we can get back to repsonsible management of resrouces and address climate change with real solutions. We’re going to need a fully comprehensive plan of action, every available avenue as far as renewables, E vehicles, the way we think about how we eat, the clothes…

I hope this doesn’t come off as condescending, because I really do want to understand. Why continue to do this?

Was going to say, that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works at all. IRS reimbursement rate can’t even be applied in this situation, it’s irrelevent.

Tax income does not equal actual income. That 58 cent per mile assumption is going to be way higher than actual expenses for your car because it’s based on averages for work vehicles, most of which are big trucks/vans, not a tiny cheap sonic. Your fuel cost is probably ~7 cents per mile. Your repairs at 6K over 50k…

This.
