Jan 6th x10 levels of hate

So that’d be … what, January 60th is February 29th or march 1st depending on year.

What’s notable about those days?

Honestly this is not a good reason.

Basically the only sticking point IMO would be whether the specific games you enjoy tend to have problems (often due to draconian DRM or anti cheat systems)

they actually mean that bikes are explicitly allowed

I’d say that’s more of an implicit meaning since the sign certainly doesn’t show that.

For New York, train goes via Toronto. It’s 16h by train vs 9.5h by car. 9 hours is right at the limit of what I would consider not-insane for a weekend trip (19h travel for 38h visit gives 2:1 ratio of visit:travel time).

The “cross country in a weekend” is a bit of an exaggeration but Detroit to Chicago, Detroit to Minneapolis, Detroit to New York City should be perfectly reasonable for a weekend trip if trains went at a reasonable high speed.

There’s zero reason for train to be slower than automobile.

Sunflower oil is another possibility.

You still have to have some device connected to the internet. This just transfers the problem from the humidifier to the outlet.

You are wrong in terminology. Capital gains tax is not the same as income tax. The “realized“ term you mentioned is already redundant with the “gains”. If it’s unrealized there is no gain.

However, it’s also possible to tax capital itself. This is normally referred to as a wealth tax

You seem to be under the impression that these existing categories are the only kinds of tax that can exist. In reality, it’s entirely possible to structure taxes in any way that people can devise.

Why not a tram? Get the best of both worlds.

Interesting that the very similar “… have anything but disappeared” would mean they have very much not disappeared.
