The highest bracket was taxed at 70% until Reagan’s first plan in 1981 lowered it to 50%.

It’s currently at 37% under Trump’s 2018 tax plan.

Agreed. Rice cookers and slow cookers are gateway appliances. You’ll get sous chef prep practice and results with very low risk of failure.

You also have Hamilton Fish. He was Grant’s Secretary of State. His letter of gratitude before retirement is, or at least was, hanging in the Empire State Building.

But you didn’t stipple-ate the conditions.

Mac Minis are primarily used as home or small business servers. They get rebooted, but rarely turned off. It makes sense now that I know the button is accessible without lifting the Mac Mini.

Yup. The domesticated chicken has changed quite a bit since domestication began, but the species is still a domesticated chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). The primary ancestor of the domestic chicken, the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus), birthed the first domesticated chicken between 7,000-10,000 years ago.

Well, technically that’s true. Without analyzing a fertilized egg, we don’t know with certainty what the result will be.

For example, a woman could give birth to an albino without knowing before birth. Albinism is a mutation in the melanin production gene. The mutation forms in-utero. The equivalent to an in-utero mutation in an oviparous (egg-laying) animal would occur inside the egg.

So the direct ancestor of the chicken laid an egg that mutated into the first chicken egg, then the first chicken hatched from it.

The first chicken was created from a mutation of another species. That mutation occurred before the egg was completely formed, making it the first chicken egg. The first chicken wasn’t born until it hatched from that egg.

Therefore, there was a chicken egg before there was a chicken.

No joke, I had to stop falling asleep to podcasts over a decade ago. The conditioning to tune-out conversation was causing me to drift off and lose focus in meetings.

I got the joke. It’s one of many I’ve heard just like it.

I was commenting on the title. Maybe it was my comment that went over your head.

This particular philosophical question was shot down by geneticists quite some time ago.

The first chicken was created due to a mutation. Genome mutations occur during cell division, in eggs, and in the mitochondrial genome.

The first chicken hatched from the first chicken egg. Therefore, the egg came first.

So we agree that the choices at the polls were bad and worse for Palestinians. I’m simply saying by not choosing bad, they ended up with worse.

I completely understand feeling sick over the decision, but did they really trust the rest of the US to make the right decision for them?

Exactly how is allowing Trump a second term better?

They sure showed her. We’ll find out if they made the right choice soon enough.

Found this 3D printable case that turns the new Mac Mini into a tiny Mac Pro.

It even has the wheels. lol

The gif is even better

“Just as” is absurd, but I agree there is some. I was guilty of plenty of microaggressions before I knew of them. Change starts with the youth. The older you get, the longer it takes to get to you.

There was a primary for the 2024 election. Biden won.

Good point. More than half of voters would have been accurate.

That reduces the sting of disappointment in my fellow man a tiny bit.

Let’s see, so we’re blaming Biden for stepping aside too late, his advisors for not encouraging him to step aside, the DNC for not holding a second primary, and Harris for trying to get voters by reaching across the aisle.

Let’s for once try Occam’s Razor.

Can we just accept that more than half the nation is voters are racist, sexist, and bigoted, or at a minimum comfortable supporting racism, sexism, and bigotry? Because that’s the simplest explanation.
