More of the same.

Ask for TSP. Trisodium phosphate. The best detergent ever. Use it to clean a garage floor before you paint. The package says TSP in big letters. In small letters, "substitute."

An old guy's complaint.

I go to the hardware store and ask for something simple, like paint thinner. You know, Stoddard solvent. I want to thin oil paint and clean brushes.

They sell me some stuff that looks like it was already used to clean brushes of white paint. It says Paint Thinner. Shake well before using. WTF?

The MSDS says it is completely soluble in water.

I'm all for new technology. I'm pissed when they put misleading labels. The kid seling doesn't know the difference.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

The Custer Gallatin project has some similarities with the Epstein files.

FFS. We went through this with #GWB. A bill that combined commercial logging with environmentally sound fire risk mediation. After a couple of years, the money for the conservation mysteriously dried up. The logging continued.

Before that, #Hegseth wants DoorDash delivery of cod tongues and screech at Goose Bay and Gander for his triumphant excursion to Nuuk.

You'll see that it's taken care of?

When an #Uber or #Lyft driver gets paid less than $0.725 per mile (every trip in NJ, anyway) the trip is a loss. That's before the driver gets paid for his or her time. Take a loss three out of five years and the #IRS calls it a hobby. Then every dollar spent by a rider is taxable. No deductions.

Throw a starvng dog a rubber bone.

I talked to a #Lyft driver about "No #tax on #tips ."

He told me a funny story. Lyft got him a 50% discount on Intuit Turbotax. No discount on the state portion, though. When he got done, the app told him to watch out for the IRS. With the losses he claimed--using the standard mileage deduction--his gig was in danger of being classified a hobby. He'd owe tax on the total fares paid by riders. No deductions whatsoever.

Tips make it worse.
