The taxes get made up on the back end.

Bonus money is taxed at the rate that applies if that was your regular salary. In other words

If you make $1,000 a week that’s equivalent to $52,000/year salary. And it’s taxed at that rate.

If your bonus works out to a $2,000 a week rate that is taxed as if you make $104,000/year.

However, once it is time to actually do your taxes the IRS will see you made $52,000 in salary and $2,000 in bonus. So your actual taxes owed will be on $54,000.

So whatever extra taxes you paid at bonus time get returned when you do your taxes.

I used to work entirely on commission, and occasionally I’d have such a good week I’d hit a ridiculous tax bracket. Most weeks were ass though, so tax season was always great because I’d get that money back

Cold doesn’t damage the battery. Batteries are basically electricity pumps. When they’re cold they’re less willing to give up their electrons. But being cold isn’t inherently good or bad. It essentially reduces the efficiency of the pump.

Generally speaking the thing you want to avoid with ev batteries is getting them too hot. Heat damages them more than anything else.

The next temperature related thing is putting a heavy load on the battery when it’s too cold. The important thing with this is a cold battery itself isn’t necessarily bad, it’s putting a heavy load on a cold battery that’s bad

Also generally speaking, the healthiest state to store a battery is half charged.

If you’d like to read up on it the thing to search for is “lithium plating.”

So long story short, if you’re going to leave your EV for weeks at a time, the best thing you could do is leave it plugged in to a wall outlet and set the charge limit to 50%. Remember, EV batteries don’t lose electricity when they’re cold, they just can’t pump all the electrons in them because they’re cold. If you leave it plugged in and set the charger limit to 50% it’ll maintain the battery at a good state of charge. It won’t draw that much electricity either.

By definition a disaster recovery solution needs to be geographically separate. You’re protecting yourself from catastrophe, and some of those scenarios include your main location burning down, flooding, being hit by a tornado, etc etc.

So you either need to collocate systems with a friend who you trust, purchase colocation services from a provider, or use a cloud service to achieve what you’re looking for to truly have a DR solution.

As far as how to do that, the main idea is to have that point in time available on a system that, even if you get compromised, the backups won’t. The old school method here is to use an external hard drive or a tape device, and physically store that offsite. So like use your regular backup mechanism, and in addition to what it’s doing now schedule a daily/weekly/monthly job that backs up to this other device, and then store that away from your main location.

That’s essentially the idea though, and there are any number of solutions you can use to do it.

Is there another app on your phone that can manage your calendar?

If desktop is ok the changes aren’t syncing back to Google, so it’s got to be something on your phone.

You’re right. I’m sorry
Because that’s a thing capitalism is great at? If the connection between capitalism and ruthless efficiency and iteration isn’t apparent to whoever is reading this then it’s really not worth the conversation

Ok. Let’s switch to six nations.

That definitely answers my question

That’s zero sum thinking.

If it was 10k that is, literally, an order of magnitude cheaper.

You can’t have it both ways. The people who I know who have had cancer, and had it treated, the cost has been well over 100k. Some over 200k. That’s per time. If it came back it would cost that all over again.

So which is it. Is it evil that a new treatment could cost 90% less? Or should the capitalists do what they do and charge 300k for this better treatment?

Right? Bunch of morons who never had cancer, or never knew anyone who was diagnosed and treated for cancer, thinking a 10k treatment is expensive.
