Read the other comments for a concise explanation of how tax brackets ACTUALLY work. The long and short is that a raise is a raise. Getting bumped into the next tax bracket is always a good thing: you don't suddenly start paying an extra 2+% tax on ALL your income - just the income over that last bracket. 

I love biking and I don’t get it either. Definitely seems neat from a technological perspective, but mainly just neat, not mindblowing or notably innovative or even notably useful. Couple that with the fact that I love all the mechanical feels of my bikes and never once thought that my relatively low end shifts needed

Don’t feed the troll? Unless there’s actually somebody who seriously thinks that since _they_ prefer one activity over another, it must apply that way to everybody? Then are they still just a troll? Or maybe just an conceited asshole...

+1 on Ferris’ reply - that was a terrible retort, not fair at all. Just because flights exist today doesn’t mean they have to exist tomorrow. And yes, it is less efficient in the immediate term to do anything but fill an empty seat on a plan, but the solution to our environmental problems is long-term and acting like

I’m with you on that surprise, but I’ll note (and granted, a quick reference search on some of these figure couldn’t validate it, so feel free to take with a grain of salt)...

That ignorantly assumes everything is static and will remain the same, despite basic supply and demand practiced by all businesses, airlines included.

Waste needs to be addressed from both ends: consumers need to be more accountable - virtually unlimited trash disposal is not a right - but also important is that every business involved in the consumption needs to be held accountable, from manufacture to packaging to distribution (I'm looking at you Amazon). 

Wow I had no idea this was built-in - thanks!

This reminds me of Randall Monroe’s (of XKCD fame) What If series - ridiculous premise but wildly amusing and interesting to read about.

Ooo see I hadn’t even given comp a thought because I knew I haven’t been improving and probably won’t really improve much (I don’t get to play a ton), so I thought it’d just be depressing, but this is a great perspective in that it’d be more likely to get better matchmaking in comp - plus the benefit of possibly more

Same here!

I agree with this 100%. I came here for the comments calling him out for being a whiny rich guy who’s just mad that somebody's got something that looks similar (and better!) than his custom one-off multi-million dollar car and I was thoroughly satisfied. Your comment is what I agree with the most though. 

I like that idea! I wonder if it would work in reality...

It’s been awhile since I’ve played any of them but at the end they started playing Riders of the Storm which was the title song of Underground 2 so that was my main thought but I can definitely imagine them pulling inspiration from a few of those classics. 

I had no idea these were plastic covers... I’ve always seen em and just thought they were a little color flair on the car - a neat little addition from the factory. I hate chunky American cars but this actually does help make them look better - don’t know why everybody's getting so upset about it.

Agreed. Idk why somebody would be so picky about a damn shopping bag. All of my bags are freebies and all of them are pretty satisfactory quality. I’ve only had one partially tear and I was able to sew it back up and keep on using it. Even if I didn't repair it, it still had use as a backup bag for lighter goods. 

I love crispy and crunchy foods but I completely agree. This looks like a cracker which is all wrong for a hash brown. I'd rather have a soft hashbrown than this I think. 

🙌 very well said, couldn't agree any more. 

I have glasses and use my Quest as-is without the additional spacer perfectly comfortable, even putting on and removing the headset. Knowing that the spacer is included in case your glasses are extra big (I guess?), you should definitely be fine.
