No, 0.05$ is not a substantial amount of money. A 5 percentage points tax increase could be considered substantial. The question is worded so that it can be interpreted in the latter way, and it’s also using a subjective word like “substantial”. Somebody who is politically against taxes is likely to interpret it the latter way, and hence the poll’s results are skewed by its vagueness.

If we want to measure math skills and understanding of the law, a better question would be by how many dollars the total tax would increase. This would also give us better information on how far off people are.

I mean I understand all of these things. But the question is worded in a way that can be interpreted wildly differently depending on the political affiliation of the person responding.

Yeah what does “substantially” mean in this context and what are we even measuring? In terms of percentage units, the step from 28% to 33% is definitely a substantial increase. The question doesn’t specify whether we’re talking about total dollars paid or just how much the tax percentage increases in that bracket.

Is it really “not safe for work” if everyone at work is in on it?

ThinkPad is a work tool. MacBook is a fashion statement.

Saying it’s “an interesting idea” makes it sound as if git wasn’t intended to be used like this from the start. But it was intentionally designed to allow posting patches to the Linux kernel mailing lists. It even has commands for producing email directly from the command line.

Sites like GitHub are the “idea”.

What’s her thing anyway? Catfishing?

This was all pretty unrelatable. Makes me wonder if the author has ever studied how these methods are supposed to work.

Jag har blivit två timmar försenad de senaste tre gångerna jag reste mellan Stockhom och Sundsvall (en tre timmars resa som alltså blev fem timmar). Första blev sent pga “tidigare fordonsfel”, sedan blev det “tågkö” in till Uppsala så vi tappade typ 30 minuter där. På nästa kraschade ATC-systemet på tåget så de fick bara köra 60 km i timmen. Vid tredje resan så rasade en elledning vid Arlanda så vi fick stå still en lång stund i Uppsala och sedan åka via Märsta istället. För att göra saken värre blev mitt anslutande regionaltåg också sent (alltså nästa avgång som jag blev ombokad till). När det väl kom stannade det på ett annat spår än vad som var skyltat och det stod ingenting på varken vagnar eller skyltar vid spåret som kunde hjälpa mig att hitta rätt. Jag skriver det här på en fjärde resa där de har släppt på massor av människor från andra anslutande tåg som har blivit försenade. Hoppas att jag kommer fram innan sista bussen går denna gång.

Det jag undrar är, hur länge dröjer det innan det börjar ske riktiga dödsolyckor pga bristande underhåll?

I mean it’s pretty clear from the texts that he was resurrected and lives on forever. Most Christians seem to agree that he now hangs around like a ghost and helps you do stuff like play baseball or get a promotion. The thing that rubs me the wrong way about this story is: why isn’t he helping every baseball player equally? Obviously some are winning and some aren’t, and presumably that’s because Jesus is helping some people more than others.

Everybody prays they will win the war, but Jesus is helping one side kill more people.

He means that he doesn’t appreciate how things are going in the US in 2025.

I got the Pixel 9P for this reason. It’s actually notably smaller than the previous models.
