Ultimately the cap is because there is a max on how much you can receive. 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.
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
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.
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 $230k + or so, while a dramatic increase for anyone under 90k
I’m right there with you. Well, a bit worse, rocking a 20 for walkability. On a few occasions I have decided to take my life in to my own hands, walking the 1 mile alongside the cars which seem to have confused the 40 mph road with a drag strip.
The sweet reward for doing so? Nothing but the finest of dining options. From Subway to McDonald’s to Taco Time, we’ve got it all!
Do you write 4$ and 50¢?
Or do you write $4.50
And if you write $4.50 do you say “dollars four period fifty”?
That’s not nearly the justification that you think it is.
I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.
DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …
My dad is probably about the same age (currently 81)
He didn’t touch a computer until the mid 2000s, and he just wanted to be able to email. It was a looooong journey to get him comfortable doing that.
Since he got a smart phone he texts literally every day, has installed a number of apps himself, can mostly get new services working himself (he did Amazon Prime, with some mild hand holding).
If anything, I call him more then he calls me!
It’s doable :)
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.
