This will probably break some things but I’m not sure I care enough to figure out what. Enjoy.

No it doesn’t. tl;dr - (as of 2025) $19k/individual/year is tax free (so one couple could give another couple up to $76k/yr)

Any gifts above that limit needs to be reported but is still tax free, it just whittles away at your lifetime exclusion (which is the same bucket of money as your estate tax exemption - currently $15M).

The gift giver pays the tax only once they exceed the lifetime exemption. There is no tax for receiving gifts.

For 99.99% of Americans, there is no gift tax.

Why is this news? This should be the default - everyone leaves platform hosting CSAM and pervy deep fakes.

Given its rocky path to get here, I have 100% confidence early access will be a buggy mess.

What remains to be seen is 1) if they can clean it up fast enough to stay relevant, and 2) if it will be a compelling enough upgrade to draw people away from Minecraft.

I suspect 2) is going to be incredibly difficult to get right. Sure the gameplay might be better, but Minecraft is one of the most overly documented and heavily modded games ever. If they want to convince people to give up years of work optimizing every aspect of that game to come play in their sandbox they’re gonna have to get clever.

With Alexa, there will never be an ad-free tier. You’re just paying to have the ads be less obvious/disruptive.

Feels like they would want the opposite of that option. Like when you’re laying sideways in bed and the phone rotates sideways for no apparent reason.

Clearer than ever, but still (currently) >4x WHO recommended pollution levels

China in general has improved drastically but it still has pretty big issues in the winter due in large part to the increased heating demand.

90-day password changes?? You monster!!

Or they need more gentle body wash.

Realistically, most face wash products just (typically “sensitive skin”) body wash diluted enough to work in a foaming dispenser.

Pro tip: Check if your face wash manufacturer makes a body wash with the same ingredients. If so, it’s pretty good odds you’re paying 5x the price/oz for something that’s diluted ~2:1 with plain water - so 15x the price of the actual cleaning product just to not have to dilute it yourself.

As someone with ADHD, I often don’t realize I’m thirsty until I have a headache and am about to pass out. Having an even arbitrary water goal forces me to do the math every once in a while and go “oh, I should probably drink something today”

People have been experimenting with cloud seeding for decades, but more likely this is another BS bill targeting contrails to feed the paranoid agenda.

So let me get this straight, the bill acknowledges climate change is bad, GHG emissions cause climate change, but then targets everything but the root cause of the problem? Really amazing work they’re doing out there in Arizona.

This is exactly the problem, weird policy quirks and better alternatives didn’t help the situation but quite frankly there’s no new content for the Switch 2, and the performance bump over the OG Switch is almost irrelevant because raw performance isn’t the reason people buy Nintendo systems & games.

More important than what college you go to is trying to figure out what you want to do after college.

For a new hire, I’ll take courses/research/extracurriculars specialized around what I do over university titles every single day.

You definitely don’t have to find the answer year 1, or even year 2, but it should be your goal to articulate how you want to apply your degree before you graduate. The more moves you make in that direction will significantly help you get there.

Ahh I see what he did there. Raped a bunch of kids over a decade ago so that no one would notice when he starts annexing other countries.

Real 5D chess moves.

Let communities follow each other!

I can’t compete with the multi-TB seeders (blame my ISP’s absolutely trash asymmetric upload rate), but I can still help!

I think almost all of my phones failed due to the charging port giving out over time (microUSB was the worst). Last phone had USB-C and wireless charging, so the port was no longer the weak link. It lasted about 4 years before it fell out of my pocket at an unrecoverable height.

I suspect my current phone (Pixel 7) will last me several more years. At this point I think a drop or GrapheneOS EOL are the only things that’ll get me to buy a new phone again.

If your phone is feeling sluggish, factory reset, then as you install new apps, remove their background usage permission unless real-time updates are critical. Delete anything with a functioning mobile website.

Reminds me of a poem I heard once…

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free

You can’t take the sky from me

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea

You can’t take the sky from me

There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity

But you can’t take the sky from me…

Seed paper is always so cool! The challenge is making sure the seeds and paper stay in the regions where they are appropriate - especially if they have a chance of being invasive somewhere else.
