Ultimately the cap is because there is a max on how much you can receive per month. So they align with each other. But honestly if you’re at the point where you’re hitting the social security cap, then it’s not even going to be your primary source of retirement. In which case capping benefits but not capping contributions would hardly be noticeable, but would help keep social security solvent.
To be clear, a maximum on monthly benefit, not total!
I don’t work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.
This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it’s not like remote meeting will go away
Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I’ve been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn’t happen though and I’ve since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.
I’m pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you’re right, it’s absolutely not screenshots. It’s a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it’s possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.
That’s not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.
Hey vsauce, Michael here
But what is squauce
Between my current job (unlimited PTO) and my last (30 days PTO) I’ve had 30+ for the last 10 years.
Last year I used 35+ days.
A lot of it goes to smaller things. 1 or 2 days here and there. Few days camping, turn a 3 day weekend in to a 4 day, etc… It really can change how you use your time.
My cat is like this. He FREAKS OUT when you’re in the shower. It’s super annoying.
$5.30 for a deluxe, $2.80 for fries.
Dick’s and a taco truck in the same area ($2.50/taco) are my go to cheap but delicious lunch options.
Combining calorie counting with intermittent fasting helped me lose 50+ lbs with relative ease. To support intermittent fasting I cut out evening snacks and breakfast, which gave me the 16:8 ratio (eating only from noon to 8 PM).
The calorie counting helps set me up for future success as well since I now have a much better idea of what is healthy and what isn’t.
I’ve played somewhere around 1500 hours across multiple systems. There’s really nothing else quite like it.
My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.
That said… it’s definitely not ideal, and it’s generally relegated to similar games like you’re talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc
Seriously. I bought new jeans two weeks ago. I went to multiple different stores. My choices were skinny jeans, a different brand of skinny jeans, or a different brand with a different style of skinny jeans.
Don’t forget to throw inflation in there too, which is equivalent to $130k now. Everything over that shows how much houses have outpaced inflation.
And now that you know that you can respect how nearly impossible it is for people who are just starting out to get a new home.
You (and me too) were able to take advantage of the 2008 housing market crash. We need another one to give people a chance.
That isn’t “normal” though. Part of the reason that companies like unlimited PTO is that typically workers take less PTO when unlimited is offered.
I had 8 weeks paid per year in my last job, so rolling in to this one with unlimited I pretty much do the same. But for sure I’m a bit of an anomaly. I rarely see others taking time.
I tried this, but was told “take your laptop, we’ll expense the Internet”.
Yes, and somehow those who are against RealID are okay with using a passport.
I very intentionally received only an associate’s degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It’s worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs “require” a bachelor’s or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.
In my experience, I’ve seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.
Flat tax is nice in theory, but it’s horribly regressive. 30% would be a nice reduction in taxes for anyone making $230k + or so, while a dramatic increase for anyone under 90k
What?! How in the world did you get that out of what I said.
There is a maximum monthly benefit. Maybe I need to go back and reword it or something, because this totally misses my point.
