IIRC, there are some who think this could be a reason why there are more cancer cases now as tiny microplastics make their way into various cells.

Only for his lawyers to send the prosecutors a copy of every text message that he sent and received for the last 2 years. Haha

That boost in price is minimal compared to how much they raised prices in the last 2 years.

I wish it worked that way for me. Adhd makes it so difficult to have and keep hobbies and projects. At work things get done because there’s rigid deadlines, which don’t exist in a hobby.

That’s what I remember learning while in college. Someone had done a study showing that those who wrote out notes were able to recall information better than those who typed their notes.

Tax Hawk and FreeTax USA are some free options that will still be available to you!

Tax Hawk is still an option for those not in a pilot state!

Free software like TaxHawk and FreetaxUSA popped up once TurboTax and HR Block started charging people. I get your point, but it doesn’t carry as much weight with the fre, easy software that’s out there.

Why not use free software like TaxHawk? It’s been around for a while. At least since HR Block and TurboTax started charging people a few years ago.

You can download forms from the IRS website or use free software like TaxHawk. Many people prefer to use similar software that you have to pay for or pay an accountant to do their taxes for them.

Not to mention the fact that many people don’t know what FOSS means, given that it’s not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.

I’m still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.

How do you give a shit about minority lives? You’re defending Pinochet who led the coup in Chile and built concentration camps for political opponents. He followed in the footsteps of the nazis.

Edit: fixed weird autocorrect

Did you roll the Mint into the manager’s office with a note “looks like I’m rolling out of here!”

This technology has been in place in public spaces like airports for at least a decade. They claimed it was to fight terrorism by scanning and collecting models of everyone’s face looking for known terrorists. They said that they could identify the terrorists because even with a disguise, you can’t alter the shape of your facial bone structure.

Was there ever a point in the last 80 years when they actually felt welcome? The GOP dove headfirst into Christian Nationalism after WWII.

I came across a company called Flower Turbines, they sell tulip-shaped wind turbines. They look nice and hopefully would do well on the energy front. They claim that their turbines start producing energy with just a touch over 1 mph winds.

It looks like it would be a cute way to generate clean energy.

That’s interesting, I didn’t realize that a photograph counted as part of the directory information. I figured that was why photos are included in the list of items on the parent consent forms sent out every year.

It was my understanding (from admin, teacher professional orgs, and teacher unions) that pictures on websites and social media need consent to be posted. So we were told that any student without a consent form had to be edited out or blurred on any picture posted anywhere.

Which country are you talking about? Us federal law required consent to opt-in. As far as I know, FERPA hasn’t received an update concerning that.

That’s true while on the street or in a public park. That does not apply to students at a school function. There are laws protecting students in such a situation, which is why in the US, parents have to give permission for images of students to be published.

In schools, they normally have parents fill out a form giving consent to use a student’s picture. There should be a way to revoke that consent.
