I swear I just read this story on 2X from someone else…

EDIT

No, that was Microsoft…I think.

I remember a friend got one of those as a serious gift one year (she’s a competitive cyclist). By the end of the night we were playing cards against humanity and taking shots from the she-wee. It was a pretty funny night.

I mean, that’s kind of the point of the standard deduction though isn’t it? To save time for the people with the least to spare?

Let the people who can hire someone else to do their taxes and actually spend far more than the standard deduction worry about filing all that stuff.

Got a source for frequency of occurrences? Cause in 20 years of lifting I’ve never seen someone end up with brain damage from dropping a barbell on their head while bench pressing. Not saying it can’t happen or doesn’t happen, just doubting the frequency. Seems like a freak accident more than “happens all the time.”

Final Destination 2022

Season 1 made me wish I lived closer, I’d have stopped by to check it out just for shits and giggles if nothing else. It honestly just seemed…i dunno, wholesome & satisfying to see Clarkson lean into it like that though, even if he bumbled about a fair bit. Like, if I ever made millions, I imagine I’d do much the same - semi retire and start a farm somewhere or do something with my hands again.

There’s a certain pleasure in the immediately tangible effects manual labor produces, whether farming, welding, etc whatever. And before anyone jumps down my throat about it - yes, I’ve done it, and yes, I still do on occasion, though these days it’s more on a volunteer basis for charities and such.
