I listened to a NYT podcast recently, a discussion between Ezra Klein and a right-wing Israeli. According to them, the "right wing" is 6 to 1 majority now in Israel, and Netanyahu is not as inevitably doomed politically as was told soon after 10/7. The notion that Bibi was doomed always sniffed to me of wishful thinking, but what did I know?

Had 'em in Texas too.

I'd guess side effects. But it's like every single other weight loss 'miracle' - unless you change the way you live - permanently - the weight comes back plus more. We just started a somewhat less ambitious fasting program. Try to keep 1500- 2000 five days a week, keep to 800 two days. The two low days cannot be back to back. I'm doing a much more intense weight machine program now plus cardio.

Most British people of my age and older cannot hear a certain part of that song without immediately thinking of Formula 1 - it used to be theme tune back when the BBC had the rights to broadcast it. It's immediately Sunday afternoon at 2pm.... Link to video

Wow! Looks rather well fed! Maybe that’s why our goose population has dropped to manageable levels!

I feel like we used to have a member here that would have at least appreciated the name..

@LuFins-Dad said in IRS to close loophole: depreciating the same asset repeatedly: I’m sure it’s not going to affect those Rideshare drivers that have wisely incorporated, then reincorporated, and have used that loophole… And don’t forget that the original entity that sold the asset to the new entity STILL had to report the income and pay the income tax from the sale…< I was wondering that on reading the article....How much could one have really saved doing this?? There's probably a bunch of crap I could/should be doing in my own little business that would have had some benefits..I dunno. Seems so stupid. Why isn't it as simple as "Revenue was 'X' actual expenses were 'Y', that's the profit, let's pay some shitty taxes and move on with life.

@George-K said in Hay, Excel Masters!: I was able to follow ChatGPT's suggestion and it all worked. Please don't interrupt us while we're discussing the brilliance of our solutions to your Excel problem.

One point David Burton made in the OCR a couple of times was that some couples really had no business getting married in the first place. I agreed with him then and continue to agree. If a couple grows apart and decides to end the marriage then it should be entirely their choice and right to do so.
