Reply to NY AG wants answers on Madison Square Garden's use of facial recognition against legal opponents by Sorin61

It's not even "legal opponents"

If a giant law firm brings any type of lawsuit against MSG or it's parent company, they refuse to let any employee in.

So say someone wants to sue MSG, any law firm that takes the case, gets all their employees banned from there and every other venue.

So the problem is that can be considered harassment to prevent firms from taking those cases

Reply to comment by Comfortable-Policy70 in LPT: update your W9 withholdings so that you *owe* a little on your tax return instead of aiming to get a refund. by atynre

You can even claim "exempt" from withholdings for social security...

Every year, lots of idiots find that out. And they assume it means they're somehow exempt from it. Like, there's just a secret opt-out that no one knows about.

So they change it, and because they think it's a secret life hack, they don't tell people they found it.

Then Social Security calls their employer, locks them at a high deduction, and give them a giant debt.

Just pay taxes as you earn money, it's not worth the hassle

You didn't have to tell everyone you never took a statistical analysis class...

>only an idiot would assume that the bottom line is a zero

You don't even know what's wrong, if you weren't acting like this I would have taught you something.

Reply to UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh

But...

That water vapor becomes rain...

It's not really "free" water, that rain goes to nature and eventually human use.
