It applies only to individuals with at least $100 million in wealth who do not pay at least a 25% tax rate on their income (inclusive of unrealized capital gains). Payments can be spread out over subsequent years.

I’ve loved Obsidian since I started using it.

If I moved to OSS, it looks like Logseq would be closest.

There’s no time of day I should be able to hear your music in my own home with all doors and windows closed.

Car or house work noise tho? I’m cool.

but today Israel is already evacuating masses of the [Gaza] populace from central terrorist areas and attacking there.

They seem to have been wrong about roof knocking specifically (new term for me) but still informing people and evacuating civilians? Or attempting to?

The question is kind of bullshit though. It's meant to either get the other side to have an emotional response and say none or to be what you want perceived as a piece of shit and give a number. Let's try it on another question.

How many child deaths are permissible before we ban bicycles? Cars? Jump rope? Pools? If it's not 0, how dare you sir or ma'am. We're talking about children here!

There is a reason certain buildings are off-limits unless it starts being used by the opposing force's fighters. How would you fight a war against someone if they could just strike from an ambulance and then drive off, scott-free?

Also just want to throw out there that this type of thing is exactly what those who would use human shields want you to do. "Back off or we will put more civilians in front of us." Then they will publicize the aftermath to help their propaganda war.

People who post things like this, especially Linkerbaan, have to believe that the public has access to all of the information Israel and others have about where Hamas is at any given time. Some of the responses here seem to indicate that as well.

I simply don't believe that's the case. Imagine thinking that information which is probably secret or top secret (or whatever labeling system Israel uses) that Israel is using to make decisions is probably just online for them to review.

As a sysad, I’ll sign onto this.

At least getting a snapshot of the Windows VM should be simple. And since it doesn’t connect to the internet and doesn’t update, restore should be quick and relatively easy.

You must have missed this part:

I will continue this throughout her entire upbringing so that if (ok, when) someone continues to do something she has said stop or no to, it will be unambiguously wrong to her.

It should feel wrong to her. That's the point. And there will be explanations later that not everyone respects the first "stop" or "no" and that she should do something about those people.

She will learn about guns and I will offer to help her get a license to carry. I'm afraid those that would not respect her "stop" or "no" will be the ones getting their world view shattered.

It's kind of strange that you seem to believe I won't be able to explain this...

I've already had to explain that she can completely ignore people, including adults, who say things like, "god will punish you" and she's not even 5 yet.

My daughter is almost 5 and I’ve made a conscious effort to stop doing whatever I’m doing if she says stop or no.

For example, tickling. If I’m tickling and she says stop, I stop immediately with no back talk.

Or if I’m copying her in a joking way (we both do it to each other from time to time) and she says stop, that’s it. We’re done.

When I’m snuggling with her after reading books before bed, she feels comfortable enough to say, “you can go now” and I that’s it. I leave with no complaints.

In non-safety situations I ask if I can hold her hand. If she says no, that’s it, I’m not holding her hand. Parking lots are a different matter.

I will continue this throughout her entire upbringing so that if (ok, when) someone continues to do something she has said stop or no to, it will be unambiguously wrong to her.

Later when I explain that “no” is a complete sentence, it should feel intuitive.

 

At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I've been able to type on any keyboard.

I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don't think I want to bring in browns. I'm a heavy typer and frankly I'm loud on browns.

I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I'm making way more mistakes, I'm typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That's when I learned about linear vs tactile... I think tactile is what I need.

So with that, I'm looking for:

Need:

  • Tactile
  • Light switches (should not take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference)
  • Quiet
  • 100% layout

Want:

  • Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent.
  • USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already.

Nice to have:

  • Hot swappable PCB

Open to other info I'm not thinking about.

Edit: After looking around some more this evening, I'm leaning toward grabbing a Keychron K10 Pro, grabbing some Zilents V2's and sticking those in there, then popping on the caps I have. This would be the most building I've done for a keyboard. See any issues with that?

Update

Based on the recommendations here and some other threads I read, I went with a Keychron Q6 Max and the Zilent V2's.

I confirmed that my poor speed and accuracy on the (previous) new board I had gotten was definitely due to my not being used to linears. After a day of using the new Keychron with Zilents I did a typing test and got a new PB.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm in trouble because I want to replace my home keyboard with the same...

The inevitable at last arrived. Last month, for the first time, passively managed funds controlled more assets than did their actively managed competitors.

I honestly thought this happened a while ago...

 

I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip.

I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.
