The article left me confused.

How does one pay income tax and file taxes while undocumented? Wouldn’t you need a social security number, and hence be documented?

Could I create an imaginary person to file taxes for?

I’d try Bodom, population 0, if other than cities are allowed.

Or possibly Santa’s village, population 2 (if you exclude the elves)

I used to donate, but I haven’t for at least 10 years.

Their financing is public. They would have enough cash to keep the lights on for decades.

They’ve been investing to be reliant on donations in the future. I see a conflict of interest there and I’d rather have them be relying on donations… especially since they have received enough cash to do so.

TL;DR, I’m happy to donate for running Wikipedia, not happy to donate for them to become a fund.

Don’t you worry about planet express, let me worry about blank.

OP is asking about ambient temperatures below -15°C.

I recently bought a cheese freezer which had the exact same specification listed as a feature. I considered keeping mine in the garage that I keep around 7-10°C in the winter.

Louis Theroux tried to make a documentary about them. He’s done some really good work showing the worst groups in the world as, you know, actual human beings. Like the westboro baptist church.

The Scientologists refused to talk to him. Him talking to ex-members unleashed a stampede of harassment both against them and him.

The result is called “My Scientology movie”. It’s worth a watch if you’re interested in their techniques to keep people from leaving.

RIP in peace, Bobby.

I use a PowerBook G4 running MorphOS.

My parents never bought me an Amiga when I was little, and I’ve been making up for it ever since.

Best of both world is to work remote for those northern companies while having lower cost of living down south where the darkness of midwinter doesn’t hit as hard.

Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.

I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.

It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.

They were never a thing in Europe.

The sewage treatment is not built to handle that kind of stuff. The sewage pipes aren’t too happy about it, either. I might flush some carbs down the toilet. The poop-munching bacteria at the treatment plant get a nice growth boost from it. Grease not only clogs your own pipes, but causes issues for the whole city. I think it’s possible to get fined for it if you’d get caught starting a year or two back.

Food waste goes in the trash or compost. If it goes in the trash it’s burned at industrial temperatures to burn clean. The heat is used for district heating networks.

My wife is definitely team ‘make it from scratch’.

She is also a very slow cook. We also have an infant that is currently taking up 110% of our time.

It’s hard for me to justify spending two hours a night preparing a lunch for the next day. She likes to sleep in, so I never get to eat it fresh… it’s always leftovers.

I don’t mind cooking something fresh for lunch or dinner, but I’ll do something that takes 20 minutes of prep and then take care of itself on the stove or in the oven. Chilli, pot roast, or a casserole.

I think frozen dinners probably have a better balance of protein/carbs/veg than either of us makes, and at half the price.

It was a shiny EGA card.

On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.

My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.

If we’re talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.

I plugged one in today. I left the screws loose. Ironically I moved it between two computers that couldn’t originally do VGA.

I re-organised my leisure desk. My C64 sometimes hooks up to a TFT thanks to my turbo chameleon 64 cartridge.

Today I hooked my C64 up to my CRT instead. I needed that TFT for my Amiga 1200 which has DVI-I out thanks to my indivision flickerfixer. But I have a DVI->VGA adapter to use that same cable.

In my country we have designated billboards where candidates get to put up their posters ahead of elections. Usually along roads, by malls, promenades, etc.

Messing with those is election interference. Believe it or not, straight to jail!

I’ve never stood in like for early voting in the EU. I’ve done it at my supermarket while getting groceries.

Grab a ballot and envelope, enter booth, do the thing, walk to desk, flash id, get crossed off list, watch volunteer put your envelope in another envelope and drop it in the ballot box.

In-and-out, three minutes.

Come to think of it, voting on election day has always been just as smooth. I just have to go to the library or some school, so it’s not as convenient.

The theorem holds true. The theorem states that the monkey has infinite time, not just the lifetime of our universe.

That’s just lazy science to change the conditions to make sensational headlines. Bad scientists!

I don’t use make-up, but I make an exception for the soap from the hardware store.

My routine goes a bit like this:

• get into shower
• turn on water
• get wet
• turn off water
• lather up
• turn on water
• rinse off
• turn off water
• rub dry with that same old towel

I do this as necessary, but at least before Christmas and midsummer (even if not necessary).

And the car?

That car went on to become KITT.

That’s harsh coming from a second-generation immigrant who keeps marrying immigrants.
