The Georgist argument, which I largely agree with, is that land speculation is nonproductive activity that should be discouraged.

And even if you only withdraw the amount you can contribute for a year, you’re still missing out on the earnings your normal contribution would return. But you probably weren’t going to be able to make that contribution anyway if you’ve reached the point of tapping your Roth.

Roth contributions aren’t deductible, so the government doesn’t lose out on any taxes by letting you withdraw them. But you can end up penalizing yourself because putting the money back in is still subject to your annual contribution limit. So withdrawing more than that limit means you permanently lose whatever…

10% is probably what you pay an agent / manager who also helps you get jobs, like for people in entertainment where your agent will shop you around to casting directors, producers, etc.

This isn’t fucking baseball, weasel face! It’s catering!

Therapeutic Use Exemption, i.e. use of a banned substance due to medical necessity.

At some point early on a judge should have dismissed the suit with prejudice saying that Nissan Motors had no reasonable expectation of prevailing, given that he named the company after himself and had been using the domain, not squatting on it, for several years.

Specifically, we use the adverb “hella” much more frequently.

Cloth was my preference but I decided not to make it a deal breaker. It doesn’t make the search any easier when dealer web sites just list the interior as “black” and you have to figure it out by reverse-calculating the MSRP.

I bought a 2018 GTI (SE automatic with leather) a few weeks ago. Only one dealer within an hour of me had the color and trim I wanted, so I asked them to send me the ePrice. The saleswoman quoted the MSRP back so I asked if they could make that the out-the-door total (approximately $3000 off). She texted back that…

I saw the video before knowing the tic-tac-angle and thought it was going to be a “make a layup, make a free throw, make a 3-pointer, make a half court shot” game where she never made it to the free throw part.

My favorite is the skeleton pointing a gun at the viewer, headlined “Hell is full bitch” followed by the National Suicide Prevention Hotline telephone number.

Stephanie Pratt! Unlikely voice of reason...

The ripping software is the grey area. Making and keeping personal copies has always been recognized as legal despite complaints from big media companies (“Home taping is killing music”). With the DMCA, they finally made it illegal to distribute tools that circumvent any access control or copy protection method on…

Listen to Jesus, Jimmy!

I read my numbers wrong, I got 61 canes from timed goals and 57 by other means. I’m not 100% sure I got any canes by getting friendship levels, but I haven’t been maxing out requests every three hours either.

All of the Christmas goals are timed to last until the event ends. They probably won’t add more. However, I’ve played probably an hour today broken up into four chunks and got more than 70 canes by doing requests and gaining corresponding friendship levels. I also got some friendship levels by completing a new camp…

Maybe one award for worst NFL owner and another for all other leagues would have been fairer.

It’s even topical this time!
