    Isn’t this incorrect? I always heard that, and then somebody told me no, you pay taxes on what you make up to the first bracket, based on the first bracket, then whatever you make after that you pay taxes on in the second bracket, up to the limit, etc

    So yes youn pay more for what you’re making above that, but you’re still making more overall? You don’t actually go backwards. I think.

    Except for like assistance and stuff. That’s all messed up. If you make just enough to get above the poverty line and lose Medicaid or snap or whatever, then you end up paying so much extra you go backwards as far as available funds. They’ve got the screws so tight, it actually makes more sense to manufacture ways to make less money, so you can stay just under the line. The gap is too big between needing assistance and being sufficient, you can’t get from one to the other. At least that’s what I’ve heard.

    I’m in the US btw.

    I loved 12s when I did them. I’m not saying to work yourself to death, I mean I did 3 12s a week, and it was amazing. Especially if you start early in the day? 6 to 6 and you’ve still got the ability to do stuff at night. Not like, ragers or anything, but like, dinner plans.

    Best thing was that it was a small nursing home, 20 beds, so they fed us breakfast lunch and dinner. The food was meh, but better than fast food, and the savings were amazing!

    If management didn’t stick their heads up their own butts, I’d probably still be there. But I noped out when the owner brought her step son in to run the place. He was… A piece of work. Confidently uninformed. Arrogantly incorrect. Held on high by Mommy.

    Picked up an Oroville redenbacher air popper from Goodwill for $5, basically brand new, manual and everything (not that there’s much to know). We’ve been going crazy with it. Highly recommend.

    I grew up with one, but have never owned my own. Always used microwave popcorn. But with the chemical concerns in that, this feels healthier 🤷‍♂️

    Ever look into atomic/immutable distros? It’s a whole different way of doing things, but so far… I really dig it.

    I have a tendency to muck about in the settings and configs, and make my system… Unstable…

    But with an atomic distro, running flatpacks for most things and containers for anything exotic, my fingers stay out of the pie, and my system has been rock solid for 3/4 of a year, which is impressive for me.

    I don’t think I’ll go back, not for my main machine anyway.

    Just popping in to say raid is not a backup! It is for high availability!

    Stuff’s expensive, it sucks, I’m not saying you need to spend more than you’re able to, I’m just warning you and others that while raid is often considered a pseudo-backup, it’s real purpose is high availability, so you can still access your data while your restoring from your actual backups somewhere else.

    Best practice is 3-2-1, 3 copies of the data, on 2 different storage mediums, 1 of which is in a different physical location.

    But honestly, if you can just get 2 copies, both on hard drives, both in your same house, you’re still miles ahead of simply relying on raid.

    Backup your data!

    Thanks for coming to my TED talk 😂
