@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.

Ears don't count.

Hahahaha nice. Stupid internet

Would have been Haiti except for all the white girls.

Maybe the money could go towards better policing? https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-shootings-weekend-least-46-shot-7-killed/14963901/

I should do it. ChatGPT would make a good presidential debate moderator due to several key attributes that align well with the requirements and expectations of such a high-stakes and highly visible role: Impartiality and Objectivity ChatGPT, as an AI, has no personal or political biases. This ensures a fair and balanced moderation where all candidates are treated equally, preventing any appearance of favoritism or partisanship. Comprehensive Knowledge Base ChatGPT has access to a vast repository of information, including historical data, current events, policy details, and previous debates. This allows it to ask insightful and relevant questions that challenge candidates on their knowledge, positions, and plans. Real-Time Fact-Checking In presidential debates, accuracy is crucial. ChatGPT can provide real-time fact-checking to address any misinformation or false claims made by candidates, ensuring the debate remains informative and truthful. Consistency and Rule Enforcement ChatGPT can consistently enforce the rules of the debate, such as time limits and speaking order. This consistency helps maintain order and ensures that all candidates have an equal opportunity to present their views. Calm and Composed Moderation Presidential debates can become heated and contentious. ChatGPT's ability to remain calm and composed can help de-escalate tense situations, maintaining a respectful and productive atmosphere. In-depth Questioning ChatGPT can generate follow-up questions based on candidates' responses, probing deeper into their policies and positions. This ensures a more thorough examination of each candidate's platform. Multilingual Capabilities In a diverse country, language inclusivity is important. ChatGPT's ability to understand and process multiple languages can help include questions and information relevant to a wider audience, reflecting the diverse population. Time Management ChatGPT can effectively manage the allotted time for each segment, ensuring that the debate stays on schedule and that all topics are covered within the available time. Inclusivity and Accessibility ChatGPT can incorporate questions from the public, gathered through various channels, ensuring that the concerns of ordinary citizens are addressed. This inclusivity can enhance the relevance and engagement of the debate. Adaptability and Customization ChatGPT can be tailored to fit the specific format and requirements of a presidential debate. Whether it's a town hall format, a one-on-one debate, or a multi-candidate stage, ChatGPT can adapt to the needs of the event. Continuous Improvement ChatGPT can continuously learn and improve from each debate it moderates. Feedback from organizers, participants, and viewers can be used to refine its moderation capabilities for future debates. Focus on Substance ChatGPT can prioritize substantive issues and policy discussions, steering candidates away from personal attacks and towards meaningful dialogue about their vision for the country. By leveraging these strengths, ChatGPT can serve as an effective, fair, and efficient moderator for presidential debates, facilitating a high-quality discussion that informs and engages the public.

You buy those. I'm guessing $5 or so for USDA compliant.

The truck had siren-type lights on top of it... for what, who knows. It's funny/sad how someone's true nature comes out when they're in a vehicle (or posting online). I hope my kids will learn. If someone is ever road raging, just get out of their way if you can. I've never even flicked someone off before... and if I get the bird, I usually just smile and wave back, which is 100x more of an insult to them than if I returned the favor!

@Jolly said in Sharp Stuff: With 3.21 subscribers. Maybe he'd have more if he was less annoying. Then again, Justin Bieber has 73 million. So maybe he'd have more if he was more annoying and got some tattoos.

@Jolly said in It’s a Hard Knock Life for the AFC North: @LuFins-Dad said in It’s a Hard Knock Life for the AFC North: All 6 of the Steeler’s divisional games are in the last 8 weeks of the season. The 2 non division games are Philadelphia and KC. The last thing we need in the middle of that murderer’s row is frigging cameras in the middle of everything and being a distraction. Goodell hates y'all. Not as much as New Orleans, but he hates y'all. There's no other explanation for such a schedule. Or… He knows that Pittsburgh is a national team with one of the largest fan bases in the league. They also knew that they were planning on making the AFC North the focus of this series. Wouldn’t they want to up the drama by making every game a huge game? Bengals, Browns, and Ravens all play half their division dames in the final 6 weeks and also have at least 1 other major game in that stretch. The league manipulated the schedule to drum up more interest in the series. It’s no coincidence that the Ravens play the Chargers (Harbaugh vs Harbaugh) the first week of the show…

@Copper said in Eject! Eject! Eject!: I gave a lot of rides like that, fun stuff. Good for you. Absolute core memory for my kids. Wish I could share the video here but you hear my kids saying: “this is the fastest plane ever! hey we are flying!! I can see Disney world! I can see the ocean!” Our pilot was a young fella but very professional the whole time, even though he flew the loop many times that day he was following the flight plan very strictly.

@jon-nyc just a little dusty.

I could see Pewee Herman riding that.
