The Logitech K845 only has a white backlight. It’s a really clean, professional looking mechanical.

Rakuten is up front about it. They force their affiliate links, then pay you part of their cut.

Honey forces their affiliate links in exchange for maybe finding you a discount code.

My wife does. It’s rough in a one-toilet apartment some months.

POS is an English acronym. It stands for Point of Sale. The proper term would usually be POS Terminal, but it’s often shortened to POS.

Fake. I can use the same tree year after year.

They are small cylinders, so without gloves lots of half prints will be left. Fingerprints are so similar that that is unlikely to be usable to find the loader without a ton of effort. It is very useful to tie a suspect to the weapon after they have been found through other means, however.

A smart criminal should always wear gloves when interacting with anything that may be collected as evidence.

Probably just that they have a business license. It’s somebody the gov’t can find to verify if needed since the company has to keep employee records.

The note reads:

IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS NOTE YOU MUST BE ENGAGED IN DEMOLISHING ONE OF THE FALSE COLUMNS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE FOYER OF THE SAINSBURY WING OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FALSE COLUMNS ARE A MISTAKE OF THE ARCHITECT AND THAT WE WOULD LIVE TO REGRET OUR ACCEPTING THIS DETAIL OF HIS DESIGN.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE DONORS OF THIS BUILDING IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED THAT YOUR GENERATION HAS DECIDED TO DISPENSE WITH THE UNNECESSARY COLUMNS.

Expanse does too, though it isn’t common in that world.

It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.

I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.

Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.

People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.

There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.

Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.

Banks like to think that branch employees (bank tellers) are sales people. Most of them give ‘goals’ to each employee requiring them to open a certain number of new accounts, land a certain number of loans, etc each week/month. It isn’t ethical since the only people you can really sell on those services are the ones who should least get them. Anyone who actually wants/needs the services will come to you.

Wells Fargo differed from the rest of the industry by setting completely impossible goals, not just unethical ones. This led to them developing a culture where signing people up for services they didn’t agree to became commonplace.

The regulatory agency is pretty large, but it’s headed by a 5-member commission.

My understanding is that amortization is the confusing part of the situation OP is asking about. When you have an asset, the cost of it is deducted from income over the useful life. By declaring that it will never be released, the useful life is reduced to zero, allowing them to take the whole tax deduction at once.

They still would have been better off never spending the money. Since they already have, if they have so little cash that they can’t afford their tax bill, it might make sense to throw away future income to stay afloat now.

Also, the headline is completely wrong. The source claimed that a Spirit warranty team opted to go for a physically-impossible action and Boeing didn’t stop them.
