  • Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces bill to end H-1B visas days after Trump backs the program: ‘Americans first’

    跳过

  • Those sound like the sorts of issues that could easily be addressed by well thought out legislation. I have a nephew that recently got a digital nomad visa so that he could work for his US employer while traveling around Europe. Some of those countries require you to prove you have health insurance or buy insurance from their national health network. Those countries also regulations regarding taxes, etc. that the visa holder is responsible for.

    So Canada should pass laws to close the loopholes you describe. They would need regulations similar to digital nomads that apply to foreign exchange students etc.

  • Tesla Is Working to Add Apple CarPlay in Bid to Boost Vehicle Sales

  • Apple isn’t likely involved in any way other than cashing checks for licensing fees. They have no reason not to take money from Tesla.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

  • 20k is a drop in a bucket when it comes to boats. The maintenance, etc. is a significant ongoing expense. And if it’s the kind of boat you keep at a marina and not on a trailer in your driveway then that’s another huge expense. There’s a reason people call boats a hole in the water that you throw money into…

  • What old movies hold up because of a lack of special effects or because clever use of effects?

  • The severed head rolling into view in the hole of the sunken boat still freaks me out. I think it was filmed in the back yard pool of one of the producers.

  • A few years ago I saw a piece on local TV news about time off, vacations, etc. They interviewed the CEO of some startup that understood how important it is to take a break from work. He had a policy that when an employee took a two week vacation they had to completely disconnect from work. No checking emails, voicemails, chats, etc. If you were able to stay completely away from work for those two weeks then you would get something like a $1000 bonus to help pay for the vacation.

    That’s the kind of CEO I would want to work for.

  • The article says nothing about emergency exits being locked. If that was the only exit available to me then I’d use it and let the store employees deal with the alarm.

  • My wife and I just yesterday stopped at a Target while on a 5 hour drive. We were looking for a specific pharmacy item. They didn’t have it at that store. We didn’t need anything else so we didn’t buy anything. That might not be as common in a grocery store, but it’s not unheard of.

    And then there’s always the chance of “I just got an emergency phone call” and need to forget about shopping…

  • But you as an individual won’t be suing the IRS so escrow makes no sense in this case.

  • Not to worry. That perfect impenetrable wall that Trump had built during his first term will protect us all from the Mexican army.

  • How would the individual be protected from the IRS if they are penalized by the IRS for non-payment of taxes. Just because you sent a check to some state entity doesn’t mean those federal taxes have been paid, and that state entity likely wouldn’t have the authority or resources to protect you from the IRS.

    It would be kind of like sending your mortgage payment to your lawyer when you have a dispute with your bank. You still owe that money to the bank, and they can take action for non-payment.

  • A number of years ago my wife and I visited Lubec, Maine, which is about the northeastern point of the state. Lubec has a bridge that connects to Campobello Island, which is Canadian. For whatever reason, Campobello is in a different time zone despite being physically only one or two hundred yards from the mainland.

    I learned the hard way that the closest cell tower in the area was on Campobello, and since it’s in a different time zone it caused my phone to change time to an hour earlier. Luckily it resulted in us being an hour early for a harbor tour instead of an hour late.

  • When I was a kid it was shaving cream. Take a can, put a needle in the nozzle, then melt the nozzle with a cigarette lighter. Once it’s cooled pull the pin out so you have a pinhole nozzle. It’ll spray the shaving cream ten feet or more.

    I honestly forget how I learned that trick…
