C'mon, wouldn't it be great if Mamdani co-opted Ackman into some sort of public service advocacy that he couldn't turn down? You'd watch Ackman's PSAs to detect a lip tremor of barely contained rage, a drop of angry sweat beneath his hairline.

The nature of the "fact graph" is such that rule changes are easily incorporated and timeboxed within the basic structure.

The IRS staff made some changes to make it more modular and embeddable as a library. Maybe they'll continue updating the rules.

The code powering Direct File, which takes your input and applies all the rules, is open source and available publically: github.com/IRS-Public/f...

This appears to be IRS staff trying to ensure it isn't lost. In itself, it's a very valuable resource to anyone looking to compete in this space.

SONG FOR A FURRY

Does he run? Does he play? Does he like to dance?
My Sherwood Forest angel ain’t so big on wearing pants

Face as cute as kittens, can he please be my mate?
And show me all the downstairs Disney did not animate

a cartoon robin hood is standing in the woods with his arms outstretched .

The 80 years since WW2 has been the longest continual period of peace in Europe in the 4 centuries prior. That was one of NATO's goals, and it got us to 2022, where Putin still hasn't invaded the Baltics.

Having argued this with my brother a month ago, this is it. And lacking empathy, and any feeling of being personally threatened, it's all very entertaining.

On the plus side, you only have to throw a couple tantrums at checkout for that to factor into the algorithm to get a decrease. On the negative side, you have to wait in a long line of tantrum throwing customers.

Does it strike you that it's a kind of inverted Victorianism? Rather than women as creatures of moral purity while men are bestial; men are creatures of will being tempted by the sensual other?

Of course, both are defined from the male perspective, so... plus ça change?

Thanks. I thought the shoulder vise would get more use, but it's the leg vise I'm constantly going to.
