The US has double taxation treaties with over 60 countries. When you pay taxes somewhere else, you deduct all of that tax from your US taxes above the $125k.

Though I definitely agree the IRS shouldn't need these treaties, because if you're not living there, why should you even need to file?

This is a lot like spray painting a message on a public wall in a neighborhood and then complaining because the community won't paint over it (or destroy photos they took of it) when you realize how dumb it was.

You're writing on a public space for free with no business behind it. You're not the customer in this scenario.

When facing a terrible and unchangeable truth, is drug use still a bad idea?

If you use any substance to cope, it's not healthy and will ultimately lead you down a darker path. Unless it's truly recreational or for experimentation/exploration, stay away from them.

All emotions, even the strongest ones like unbearable grief and loss, need to be felt and processed. Allow them in and don't repress or run from them. Especially not with the help of mind-altering substances.

I hope this helps.

28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower

Reply in thread

A dog's power output comes from its muscle mass, which for a healthy dog is about 45% of its total body weight. This gives our 28-pound dog roughly 12.57 lbs (or 5.7 kg) of muscle.

Studies of animal muscle show that the peak power output of vertebrate muscle tissue during a short, explosive burst (like a jump or the start of a sprint) is around 100 to 200 watts per kilogram of muscle.

Now we can estimate the dog's peak power:

  • Low estimate: 5.7 kg of muscle x 100 W/kg = 570 watts
  • High estimate: 5.7 kg of muscle x 200 W/kg = 1140 watts

Converting these figures to horsepower (1 horsepower = 746 watts):

  • Low estimate: 570 W / 746 ≈ 0.76 horsepower
  • High estimate: 1140 W / 746 ≈ 1.5 horsepower

So, a small 28-pound dog might be able to generate a peak power of around 0.75 to 1.5 horsepower for a very brief moment.

So this YASA motor is somewhere between 670 and 1,340 times more powerful than the dog it's being compared to in weight. That's some jaw-dropping power output.

Google search boss warns employees of 'new operating reality,' urges them to move faster

Coming from the same guy who killed Google search according to this article.

Coincidentally just published yesterday....

Which contains an almost identical quote from Nick Fox (Google VP of search in 2019)

Fox added that all three of them were responsible for search, that search was “the revenue engine of the company,” and that bartering with the ads and finance teams was potentially “the new reality of their jobs.”
