That's my loving horseshoe pit and you know it. That tears it. I'm getting quotes from all the lawn redistricting services in the area AND the property dispute aggravation companies and we're settling this matter in court no later than 2214.

they should just add a permanent address field to the back of the passport card and green card, maybe drop the initial issuance fee, and they would be the same as the national id cards in almost every other country. states can go back to just issuing driving permits instead of dealing with the documentation requirements, long lines and confused people that come with real id

you can do that in some states; when i got my license i had several choices, one of which was a non-real id driving privilege card. they had all these tiers available

you can travel within the eu with a national id card as long as it has the appropriate eu stamps on it. idk if the egates can scan them the way that they scan passports tho. but it’s the size of a card so fits in your wallet more easily

id cards don't work at egates as they lack the chip with photo and fingerprint data. it's usually worth taking a passport to use the egates even if an id card works since you never know when your plane will arrive right behind one full of tourists who clog the staffed lines

in other states, the only difference between a compliant an non-compliant card is the requirement of two proofs of address vs one, in which case it's not even worth getting a non-compliant one

Yeah, and at the same time the 1040 form was "streamlined" in the sense that most poo poo now just lives on another form you have to look up. Not to mention most of the good deductions that help people in the most precarious situations in their life got tubofucked if not outright eliminated.

There should just be one tax form with one line and it says "How much above 100k did you make (wages, stocks, bonds, etc)?" and then the IRS takes that.

that's because of iirc ted cruz's dumbass "fit it on a postcard" proposal

aaaaand the previous year's tax prep costs used to be deductible, but not anymore lol

nah, just little things like "earned a postdoctorate from stanford" (it's a job position, you don't get anything like a degree) and "chemoluminescent immunoassay (assay is synonymous with 'blood test')" which A) assay is not necessarily the hardest concept to grasp in that phrase andB) it doesn't mean "blood test" so much as "any test."

minor nitpicks the rest of the book is fantastic :)

i went to a meeting yesterday where somebody told us we should consider selling scientific papers by the paragraph from the block chain and it was pretty lol moment for me.

he was convinced that scientists would jump at the chance to sell their own work instead of paying publishers to do it. like... the people who upload preprints for free and the point of a journal is the prestige, not to sell it.

Yeah same. I used turbo tax for the first time... I used to go with an accountant but even the premium version of turbo tax is cheaper (Still extremely expensive)

I'm playing exactly into their hand... I even had to talk to a CPA (integrated into the software) and at the end the poor guy gave me the spiel about the survey and how the 10s help him out. So of course I wanted to help him out and one of the questions was "how much does turbo tax care about you the customer" and I had to say 10 because if I didn't he'd get dinged.

So now they can take that crap to congress and say "see, our customers love us, much better than some stuffy government program you would make!"

i used creditkarma cause its free and works well enough

deductions and credits should just be eliminated entirely so the irs can just take out exactly whats needed from every paycheck and you never interact with them ever.

readjust the brackets appropriately to shift the burden to higher brackets and be done with it.

By the way, usually your local college offers free tax prep if you're not going to do a lot of deductions.

Of course, that would involve interacting with non-STEM parts, but I'm sure you can deal. If you can't, just say it's mathematics! Simple.

lol this was me trying to extend my disability leave to what the doctor actually wanted. he submitted notes saying I had areas of missing skin, tissue necrosis, etc, but because he said I was recovering at an above average pace they tried to make me come back to work 3 weeks out from a major surgery.

he had to basically say I would die if his date wasn't respected to get things approved.

I bet its a thousand times worse for pregnant cis women because giving birth is "normal" so you should be ready for action right after right?
