Why not?  Some things you might be watching for informational purposes rather than entertainment and would prefer to get through it faster.  Some people just want to get as much done as they can.

Eh, what he is doing isn’t stupid and honestly isn’t super-complicated for someone with a little bit of computer know-how. That said it is more complicated than setting up the service in the article.

You have an odd definition of simple.

Meanwhile, in the sidebar I can click a link to buy a $17 Aukey 60W PD USB-C Charger (which the disclosure says G/O Media may get a commission) from................drum-roll please...............AMAZON.

You are paying for that meal, if they say they will bring you cheese - then make them bring you cheese. Don’t just settle because they are failing at their job.  Make them reheat it if you have to or even bring a fresh plate. The husband is a dunce for choosing to tweet her plight instead of doing something about it.

Nope. Assuming the servers said they would bring her cheese she should have gotten cheese.

I would say in the Southeast it is pretty common to have shredded cheese served on the side for people to add as they please (along with sour cream, pico, and other things I don’t put on my fajitas).

You say this like it is a bad thing. I put cheese on most things personally. The thing I’d be interested to know is if sue uses one particular type, like cheddar, for everything or does it vary. Personally I usually do grated Parmesan for Italian. Cheddar/Monterey Jack for Mexican/Tex-mex. American for sandwiches,…

You can show yourself out. And take your damn star.

There is a question of if you should pick it up all for fear if injuring it. As I said I think the natural response is to pick it up from the center instead of the back. Some may think it is okay to pick it up from the tail. Some probably think it might be okay to pick up a turtle with a crack shell.

Except you do not have an opposing opinion. You are in agreement with the article how people should be handled.

Yeah, I get that. I’m just nitpicking the point. Good to see there is actually a reason for the discrepancy though.

The dumb thing about it is there would still be room for the tax prep industry. First of course for complicated tax situations where this wouldn’t be suitable. Secondly they could offer services for helping and double checking the IRS work.

Isn’t it only your state taxes that would be due this month? Technically your Federal taxes should still be due next month.

As a technical point long as you don’t owe, you can put off filing your taxes as long you want (funny how they don’t mind holding on to your money for you, interest free).

Did you really need to comment on it?  Or click on it at all?

Your reflexes were not fast enough to stop that from going over your head.

Oh for Pete’s Sake - was there some concern that somebody thinks this means everything is hunky-dory again?  No we are long way from a recovered economy - still this is a ray of sunshine indicating that perhaps we are reaching the end of this dark tunnel.  Yes, we have a long way to go - but maybe it is actually…

I’ve never had a restaurant (or any other business really) explain why they are charging more before - why start now? I much rather be able to look and know what I’m paying instead of being surprised with an arbitrary fee. Either the price is acceptable or it isn’t.

I hate add-on fees.  Either put it in the price or don’t charge it.  Don’t deceive me and put it in at the end when I can’t decide one way or another if I want to pay the new price.
