…exactly the kind that discourages 60-something, non-technical family members.

There are a couple of studies that show less PTSD in drone pilots but there’s only a few. One interesting take is the moral gap (see here) where killing people from home potentially makes far less normal home lives (predictably).

And machine-gunning the Doc.

Still have to explain them.

Just fyi, it’s “incumbent”

Between 20 and 30 officers and soldiers are implicated…

Pretty sensationalist headline.

They are only clean and have GPS or even apps since Uber. Before they had competition, only premium cabs were vaguely healthy to use.

This article’s a week old. The relief has been announced in tax bracket adjustments that roll back the Stage 3 cuts that were essentially going to remove the third bracket (primarily benefiting those earning >$135,000)

ABC story

What are the new stage 3 tax cut brackets?

Here’s how the proposed plan looks at a glance:

Earn up to $18,200 – pay no tax

Pay a 16 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $18,201-$45,000

Pay a 30 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $45,001-$135,000

Pay a 37 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $135,001 — $190,000

Pay a 45 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned above $190,000

What were they going to be?

Here’s what the previous plan looked like at a glance:

Earn up to $18,200 – pay no tax

Pay a 19 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $18,201-$45,000

Pay a 30 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $45,001-$200,000

Pay a 45 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned above $200,000

Reads to me that, in most of the cases, she doesn’t see the final documents provided to 3rd parties. She can ask Trump org for what they provided and if they don’t hand it over, the court could presumably subpoena them.

For most of the instances she references though, she pointed out issues, Trump org said they’d fix them, but her scope doesn’t include asking the banks if they finally got the corrected version or not.

Given the scale of inaccuracies and errors though (such as not including $1.6M in management fees in a line item called “Management Fees…” and not including any depreciation for golf courses), it certainly smells like the court would at least want to dig deeper.

January is named for Janus, February for a religious feast, March for Mars and June for Juno (Jupiter’s wife). April may also be a goddess Apru but the connection is still not agreed upon.

Planet names, days of the week, months, which year is zero - even that we have 7 days in the week - All of these are direct religious references that we’re fine with.

He did: “I am not stopping him from being there,” the judge said, referring to the funeral.

He even offered to move Trump’s testimony to accommodate it. https://time.com/6556087/donald-trump-defamation-trial-starts-funeral/

According to The Associated Press, one sailor (SEAL) fell into the water and the other jumped in after them, following protocol.

That’s an interesting protocol.

This is what I find most hilarious about it. The whole point of that teaching is to remove the lust - if you actually love your wife, you won’t lust after others. But simpletons’ answer is to not look at stuff. It’s bizarre.

And the original story is that:

On Nov. 16, Reuters published a special investigation under the headline “How an Indian startup hacked the world,” detailing how Appin allegedly became a “hack for hire powerhouse that stole secrets from executives, politicians, military officials and wealthy elites around the globe”

Biden’s whole pitch is “I’m boring and sensible”

Trump’s campaign is going to be “Let me finish what I started…Trust what you saw last time.” - so he can leverage both voters who want change and those who want the same old.

If there’s a new Dem candidate, all of a sudden they’re trying to convince people to expect stability from trying something new.

Compared to that, Trump looks a lot more reliable. And that’s before you even get into the personal attacks (which Biden thinks he’s already covered).

Gun deaths in Australia are at an all time low over the past 5 years

While the best I can get on mobile is this, all gun violence (including lethal and non-lethal) is also way down on long term trends.

Leaving the moral arguments aside, there were also massive campaign failures on the Yes side. No had two clear cheerleaders with an absurdly simple catchphrase: “If you don’t know, vote No”. Meanwhile Yes didn’t have a star for the campaign and had made the amendment way too simple/general so there weren’t any included details of the practicalities. So they ended up with 100 people having to re-explain their plans every campaign stop and occasionally tripping over each other’s messages. As a result, the complicated sell from Yes played right into No‘s hands.

I’d not heard of this before but it’s hilarious: The name comes from a joke about a Texan who fires some gunshots at the side of a barn, then paints a shooting target centered on the tightest cluster of hits and claims to be a sharpshooter.

Oh damn! I must be out of practice. Still a great tool
