Thick, crispy, cheese-overloaded crust, that shit is awesome. I still think sauce-on-cheese is freaking stupid, but aside from that it's a 10/10.

HDDs can randomly crap out and cause some... interesting... glitches as they do. Can you check SMART stats or something? If there's been significant malfunction, it should show up there.

Voluntary donation or renunciation of wealth past a certain point (highly unlikely) Taxation (also unlikely) Seizing assets (illegal and would most likely set a poor precedent)

Part of the issue is that they see those as more or less the same thing.

As far as I'm concerned, taxation is the answer. Brackets seem to work pretty well. The issue is tax havens. Here in Norway, the current government raised taxes a bit on the wealthy, as one would expect going from a conservative liberal bunch to a center-left-ish one. A bunch of wealthy people promptly took their ball and fucked off to Switzerland, after bitching and posturing and whining in public, eagerly helped by the news media.

Unfortunately it seems that while I consider this obviously selfish parasitism, a lot of people... don't. After all if you're rich, surely you deserved it(!)

Do I believe it could work? Maybe.
Do I believe it's been seriously tried to a significant degree? Nah.

"Wherever you go, there you are" also applies to the human condition and any kind of whatever-cracy. At the end of the day, people are people and a lot of people suck, there's no fix for that.

I just check for sock holes as I take them off.

I'm sure it does to you.

All I know at this point is that mbin seems 99.9% less tempting due to involving people like OP.

The whole point is that "value for money" is not constant across products or kinds of products. The post is asking to optimize value while minimizing cost. It is a reasonable enough question to have legitimate answers.

However, Please don't spin the situation of kbin so that it looks like I'm the one causing it or making it up.

... nobody did...

... you do realize that nobody did, right? Read the post again.

That's some twist in a greentext. I usually start with "at least 80% likely to be fake" and adjust upwards from there.

I was "Christian", at least nominally. Didn't quite believe at 8 and not at all by 10, haven't seen any reason to go back to religion since then. Rather the opposite...
