The article "conveniently" omits the names of pilot states and the eligibility criteria, so I dug them up:

The Direct File pilot is available to eligible taxpayers residing in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

You may be eligible to join the pilot if you live in a pilot state and report these items on your 2023 federal tax return:

Income

  • W-2 wage income
  • SSA-1099 Social Security and RRB -1099 railroad retirement income
  • 1099-G Unemployment compensation
  • 1099- INT Interest income of $1,500 or less

Credits

  • Earned Income Tax Credit
  • Child Tax Credit
  • Credit for Other Dependents

Deductions

  • Standard deduction
  • Student loan interest
  • Educator expenses

The pilot is not an option for if you:

  • Have other types of income, such as gig economy or business income
  • Itemize deductions
  • Claim other credits like the Child and Dependent Care Credit, Saver’s Credit or the Premium Tax Credit

They will never stfu. The lack of evidence is just further proof of a giant conspiracy to these folks.

I liked it a lot better when the conspiracy theory nutjobs treated the x-files as a documentary and were convinced the government was hiding evidence aliens were among us.

After "seizing" a bunch of cash, the police are carrying a bunch of cash. Statement checks out.

Ignoring the content of the words, they probably spaced it out like that so they could still see out the rear view mirror.

For first names we separately compiled lists of names that we liked from whatever sources we could find (Internet lists, books, media l names used in media, etc). We went through each other's lists and vetoed names that were a hard no. Then we wrote the names out on a sheet of paper in random order in a playoff bracket style arrangement. Each pair had a winner until there was only one.

For middle names, it had to be something that flowed well with the first name. It also had to be able to convey that special sense of "you done fucked up" and disappointment when said with the first name (while emphasizing the second), like "John PAUL". Finally, candidates were from (mostly deceased) family members.

Names and initials were checked to minimize bullying potential; if we could think of a way to abuse it the name or combination was rejected. For example, Karen would be a no due to current slang usage. Or if the initials would spell ASS.

Do it then. Nobody else in the industry seems able to.

When it comes to space programs and launch costs/waste, SpaceX is at the bottom of the list. Nobody puts stuff in space cheaper than they do. And not by a small margin.

For comparison, the cost for SLS to launch into earth orbit is $4.1B. TO LAUNCH. Development costs for that program have exceeded $27B. They have been working on it since 2011. It has launched exactly one time over a year ago.

The entire contract to SpaceX to fully develop and launch a moon lander is less than the cost of launching a single SLS rocket.

I mean, as a writer for a show like this you'd have a never ending set of source material to draw on...

You see, only 39% of the population voted. 95% of the people who voted, voted for Putin. So if you extrapolate that out to the entire population, you get 37% + 95% = 132%. With math like that you can't lose!

I just watched that episode last night!

I can't be the only one disappointed by the lack of an order by clause after being told the list was being sorted (twice!)...

I hate everything they have done to it. Give me back the old notepad that doesn't close all of my other notepad windows when I close one, shows me the document I just tried to open instead of hiding it in a tab in some other already opened window, and didn't reopen 50 other goddamn documents when opening just one.

I have had no problems using my Roku Ultra. I would check to make sure there isn't any transcoding occurring on playback before buying something else. If there is you might try troubleshooting that before buying a new device.
