i do all of the aca reporting for my company by myself lol, boy i hope i filed correctly

if your company isn't loving over the employees you're probably fine. We do work for some big hospital chains and they abuse their staff a lot and shift them from EIN to EIN all the time so poo poo is a total mess. Universities too, and some other similar industries. "The brilliant efficiency of American capitalism" is an absolutely laughable joke.

absolutely, only thing you're battling with at that point is the battery, but just get an extra USB-C cable and you're set. Great screen for a handheld, and most games play perfectly fine in handheld mode.

not to pick on you for an old post but are you kidding? commercials and advertising basically ONLY work on kids my dude

e: to back this up I am an idiot who got a degree in mass communication, and children lack the experiential mistrust of advertising and have no media savvy. If you tell a kid something is cool they're going to fuckin DO it

i didn't mean to dispute the general claim that juul etc are advertising with the intention of hooking teens but only to dispute that teens -- in my head at the time defined as middle-to-late high school through age 19 -- give a poo poo if a thing is called "frosted flakes" or "purple dinosaur." like that's not gonna be the deciding factor in whether or not they get into a thing

like the ~~moral~~ panic over "gummie-style, brightly colored, fun-shaped" weed edibles being a DANGER TO OUR TEENS

imo it's a laughable old-person's-imagination conception of what a teenager is interested in, piqued by, and cares about. it's patronizing. it's also similar to the pearl-clutching about the craze sweeping the teen nation, eating tide pods. teens hear adults horribly scared about how they're eating tide pods and roll their eyes. teens hear policy-makers very worried that brightly colored packaging is all that stands between them and weed addiction and roll their eyes.

also, wait, are you.. are you claiming that advertising doesn't work on rational adults????????? surely you aren't

well so long as your company is generally decent to people you're mostly OK; it's a pain but not *that* bad to get 1095's to employees if everybody's covered, and filing the 1094 employer form is also not super hard in that case

Things get hard when the company is actively trying to not offer coverage to part-timers (less than 30 hours/week) but they're not super careful about tracking hours worked. If any not-covered people should have been offered coverage, and those people end up going to an exchange to get coverage and also apply for a subsidy (tax rebate), then the employer is on the hook for about $200 per month per employee (total employees, not just those not covered). Not a huge deal for a 51 person employer but more than $0.

Also I just write the web UI code so I'm not the real expert, talk to somebody else for the actual bottom line but be wary of anybody who just says "don't worry about it"

ive paid you zero dollars and in five minutes youre already better than the hr consultants being paid way more over far more time. youre a wizard emfive.

Go High, my friend

There's a big chunk of Tuchman's The Proud Tower devoted to Socialist movements from about 1880 to 1914 and it's basically exactly what you'd expect, different groups viscerally hating each other more than they hated capitalists.

Can I just say I�m really glad that Death Stranding doesn�t look like it�s going to be a shooter?

Or even like, your standard action game? For the longest time we�ve had this like, dichotomy, in games, �triple A� ones at least. You�re either in a fantasy game and you�re killing enemies with swords, or you�re in a modern or sci-fi game and you�re killing enemies with guns. Death Stranding is sci-fi and we�ve seen like two guns thus far. One used in an attempted suicied and the other in the hands of an assumed villain. The only gameplay we�ve seen is of�wandering around rainy highlands with packages on our backs, and trying to evade otherworldly, intangible abominations. Nothing we�ve seen gives off the vibe, or even suggests the design, of a �triple A� third person shooter sci-fi action game.

This game isn�t going to fit in any of the molds, or be graded by any of the metrics, we�re all conditioned to expect. It�s not going to get marks taken off because �the shooting doesn�t feel good�, or �you don�t have a variety of weapons�, or �the enemy behavior is lacking in fights�, because none of those are even the point. I am tingling at the idea that I�m going to go into this game and face things that I will have no loving idea what to do about. This whole thing looks like I�m going to have this huge, mysterious world full of intruige and wonder that I�m going to dive into and interact with using something other than a gun, or even combat.

That�s so incredibly refreshing.

What to Expect from Gorilla Mind Rush

User experience will vary and is dose-dependent, but this is what you can expect if you take Gorilla Mind Rush in the morning, on an empty stomach -

Within 15 minutes - You will notice that your state is starting to change, it may be subtle at first.

Within 30 minutes - You will notice that you are more focused, your thinking will be noticeably more clear, your energy levels will be slightly higher. Your motivation to be productive will increase.

At 1 hour - You will undoubtedly notice that you are far more focused and can better concentrate despite any distractions. Productivity will begin to exceed your baseline. Your energy levels will be up, but stabilize at 1 hour. You may notice a decrease in stress, anxiety coupled with a much higher attention span if multitasking. Appetite suppression will be noticeable as well.

After 90 minutes - Your focus, concentration, memory recall and retention will be far beyond your normal state. This state will fully last for another 5 or 6 hours. If this improvement in alertness isn't 100% obvious, consider taking an additional 1 to 3 capsules (maximum dose per 24-hours is 6 capsules). Significant appetite suppression will be obvious after 90 minutes as well.

After 6 hours - The effects of 3 capsules of Gorilla Mind Rush will very slowly wear off. You will feel absolutely no crash or coming down, unless you have consumed additional caffeine (or similar stimulants).

This is one of the best things about Gorilla Mind - NO CRASH (no joke)

After 10-12 hours - You will return to your baseline state in cognitive ability and appetite. However, you probably WILL NOT feel physically or mentally fatigued. Gorilla Mind Rush lasts for 8-10 hours and has an extreme 'anti-fatigue' effect. This is why it is important to NOT take Gorilla Mind Rush close to bedtime or in the late afternoon unless you plan to be awake for the following 10 hours.
