There’s a roughly $100,000 deduction for nonresident personal income tax and depending on the country, they can also subtract taxes paid on that money in their home country.

Within the laws of the location of the employer. That’s why state and sometimes even local laws matter.

Alleghany County is extremely red, Covington has a large paper plant which has a nasty smell, and Clifton Forge has a massive coal train terminal and is the most depressing place I have ever been.

Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Charlottesville contribute as well, but basically if it’s not a city or the suburbs of one, it’s red as a sunburn.

Virginia still has cheap areas and is a blue state thanks to the DC area and Hampton Roads, but the cheap areas suck and don’t necessarily have broadband access or mobile coverage.

Virginia is roughly purple. The General Assembly is hung (one house majority Republican, the other majority Democratic), and the governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general are all Republican.

The DC area is ridiculously expensive ($1 million or $2500/month is quite possible). I can’t speak to Hampton Roads.

The city of Richmond, most of Henrico County (not Varina), Charles City County, and part of Chesterfield County are blue. Charles City County is cheap but good luck getting a phone signal with certain carriers or getting internet access. Glen Allen, Short Pump, and the West End (all Henrico County) are all pretty expensive as well but less so than DC.

I bought my own router and modem because of that. Cox started locking router features away inside their app and wanted $10/month to change settings on a modem/router combo I was already paying $8/month to rent!

Now the Pi-Hole is my DHCP server.

That’s because it’s the Fediverse equivalent of Instagram.

Scientists renamed some genes because Excel kept turning the original names into dates: https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-rename-microsoft-excel-misreading-dates

I think once we pass the point of no return in terms of society and government stopping emissions being unable to stop runaway climate change, we cross from Oops to Fuck.

This might have already happened.

But we take a lot of it down with us along the way, so it’s got thousands or millions of years of work to do in order to return to how it was.

If Christian made business decisions based on promises made by Reddit which they reneged on, he has a case under promissory estoppel.

He already has a case for libel based on statements made by spez.

They still can be. The state bar has to decide on that.

There’s a bug filed but no PR because a decision hasn’t been made on how to deal with it.

They have been since at least 2003 when they would show up at my high school a few times a year.

I’ve heard through the grapevine that references to Lemmy and KBin are being removed by Reddit like Twitter was doing to Mastodon.

I’d test it but that site has a special place in the Pi-Hole blacklist.

Facebook/Meta wouln’t even moderate out incitements to genocide

This might cause instances to have a legal obligation not to federate with them, as some countries forbid you from supporting places where hate speech exists.
