a) the main purpose is to avoid paying b) because spending a bunch of cash can be suspicious to other agencies that are looking, like if law enforcement is already suspicious and starts seeing a ton of large purchases without a legitimate source of income they will figure out something is up c) because people don’t know any better.

Fair enough. The same saying often goes for sex workers.

That’s how they ended up catching Al Capone, on tax fraud charges.

How do you mean? The whole point is to encourage people, everyone, to pay taxes. It’s a great system. Taxes enforcement should be truly independent from all other agencies to maximize trust and honesty.

The IRS normally doesn’t share files with anyone. Don’t you know the old saying? The best way not to get caught as a drug dealer is to file your taxes.

If you look at my other comment, undocumented people in the US contribute over $90B in taxes every year!

You can’t tax them at all, at least officially, without giving them the authorization to work.

You should probably know that this isn’t correct at all. Undocumented immigrants do in fact pay income tax in the US. The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to everyone, regardless of status.

Regardless of immigration status, both resident and nonresident immigrants may have federal tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.

Undocumented immigrants paid nearly $97 billion in federal, state and local taxes in 2022, according to a July 2024 report , opens new tab by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), which used data on taxpayers with ITINs to estimate tax revenue.

The ITEP report said undocumented immigrants contributed $59.4 billion to the federal government, including payments for federal income tax and federal social insurance such as Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance.

The IRS issues “Individidual Tax Identification Number” for undocumented immigrants who don’t have a social security number.

Mine isn’t :/

Yeah I have the same worry. We have a weighted blanket that we still haven’t washed and it bothers me. I don’t need to wash it regularly but it would be good to give it an initial wash after purchase, but I’m worried about damaging my front loader :(

What are you? A communist?

Dthats not fair

Why should a content creator not be allow to curate the experience his/her audience sees when they watch the content they produce? They don’t owe you shit.

Just trying to spread the truth

What truth exactly? That sounds very subjective.

This is indeed not a new concept. Almost all locomotives are diesel electric. Some also have batteries making them hybrids. But the previous tank (Ambrams) was using an absolute gas guzzling turbo-shaft. So this is a pretty radical departure.

As for battery technology… Let’s compare LiFePo4 (not the densest, but safe, reliable, long lasting with wide operating ranges) to modern lead acid (let alone 100 year old lead acid)…

Energy Density (Weight): 120-200 Wh/kg vs 30-50 Wh/kg
Energy Density (Volume): 250-530 Wh/L vs 75-120 Wh/L
Cycle Life: 1000-3000 cycles vs 200-1000 cycles

The next US tanks is supposed to be a disele electric hybrid actually. But I’m not saying this because I think it’ll be some sort of improvement. It’s just interesting that they think that is the superior tech.

War releases MASSIVE amounts of CO2 and green house gasses and destroys casts swaths of green spaces.

That’s your answer.

I certainly have that state deep somewhere…

Fun fact, the gas chambers were inspired by America’s gasoline baths for Latin Americans.

WebDAV would work. Mounts directly in the Finder in MacOS.

Sad, I hope they are angry at the Israeli colonial project for having started another war.

Unfortunately personally knowing far too many Ukranian/Israeli dual citizens, I highly doubt it. They see Israel as the victim without a shred of self awareness.

South Korean dictatorship latested until essentially the late eighties.

The years that followed were marked by increasing resistance against military rule, exemplified by pivotal moments such as the Gwangju Uprising in May 1980 [~2000 dead and 3,500 wounded]. This tragic event highlighted the extremes of martial law, as the government responded with violent repression against civilian protests. The brutality of the military’s response drew international condemnation and led to widespread activism against authoritarian rule.

By the late 1980s, public discontent grew considerably, prompting a change in governance. In 1987, after immense pressure from civil society and pro-democracy movements, President Chun Doo-hwan announced the end of martial law,

Life expectancy was pretty much the same, after the post war recovery, until the, partially sanction induced, famine of the mid 90s.

DSub2000 is on Fdroid as well. Subsonic doesn’t change, but android does. DSub isn’t built for recent Android’s and as such FDroid won’t automatically update it. And some stuff might get increasingly wonky/broken due to API and SDK changes.
