If you are in a lower tax bracket now then you would be when you retire, put it into a roth. If a high bracket today then tomorrow, put it into a traditional.

I have only just heard this for the first time and it is interesting to me, what is the reasoning for this? I've been following the pattern of max out 401k match -> max out roth -> send extra to 401k, but I don't really follow the intuition behind either strategy.

In places like the Netherlands, dual-direction bike lanes allow the smaller-built emergency vehicles to move freely. But, the Netherlands also loves to employ only a single driving lane in each direction and has opened up the median lane for public transit like busses and trams. This results in no car traffic for the public transportation, and freedom of movement for emergency vehicles. As well as reducing car dependency, because if there is one guy going slow on the road, you are stuck behind him. We would need to flip the car-centered narrative in the US to allow something like this to be implemented. Cities like Portland actually have implemented dedicated transit lanes and even overpasses for busses only, but the designs swap right back to the American ones the second you leave the "urban" part of the city. People need to be educated to see the alternative view and how it can help them. We can show source after source to educate people that bike lanes are better for their lifestyle, local businesses, safety, noise, travel times, and kids but people need to have the willingness and openness to learn. I think videos like this one are better to spread around and convince people with because you wouldn't even think this is rush hour! But then you imagine if every single person was in a car, and you can imagine how large of an intersection ths would be, and how loud.

Real RTCW is available on steam for free with a bunch of user-made campaigns (+ other mods) on the workshop, too!

Obligatory notice that they rescinded the memo, but not the action. There is still a pause. The EO on federal funding still remains.

Not home so I can't try it but do you need to be so specific to match the whole markdown syntax?

You might be able to get away with

s/#(\w+%20)*\w+\.\w{2,3}/\L&/g; /#(\w+%20)*\w+\.\w{2,3}/ s/%20/-/g

basically, matching #this%20is%20LIKELY%20a%20link.md as opposed to matching whole markdown link

lowercasing that entire match, then on a search matching stuff that looks like that, replace the %20 with a hyphen (combined into a single sed command). this only fails when an http link falls within the same line as a markdown hyperlink

Important information sharing from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12627783 !

Someone on reddit pointed out there’s an OPM rule that makes max payout at something like $25k. Let me go dig it up real quick.

Because that means a lot of people wouldn’t get paid the full amount and Trump is absolutely the kind of person who would use shit like that as an excuse to not keep paying out. I wouldn’t trust this deal because based on stuff like this it doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Apologies for (slight retch) a reddit link:

https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1ice9ml/trump_administration_offering_buyouts_to_nearly/m9pya4z/

zedextol:

Per OPM, the federal government can’t legally pay more than $25k, pre-tax. This is another scam. Trump is the literal master of grift. You think he’s gonna make good on this debt after years of not paying his bills?

If there is going to be an apk release, will there be support for Android TV as well? Thanks for the hard work!

I think you can add https://lemmyverse.link/ before the shared url without http

https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/24313503

is an example. I saw div0 using this, seems handy! Doesn't quite work with voyager, though unfortunately

I was worried about this and had to check, the executive order text has a section which states it only applies to those born 30 days after the signing of the EO. Who knows what the fuck the supreme court will extrapolate that to, though.

If housing isn't an economy at all, I can understand how you came to that viewpoint in your original comment. But, I feel that as a usual internet comment, it was exaggerrating and envisioning an ideal world.

We aren't living in one of those. When I read that comment I understood it as basic housing not being an economy, and luxury housing still being purchasable-- which is much more realistic. And so I wanted to give a bunch of examples in the ways that it is feasible to create basic housing even in our capitalist system today.

I mean, hopefully in the future we can get to a post-scarcity economy where not only is the housing provided for free but it is also exactly what we want. That day won't be for a long time, though..

I think there is a different take here. The government needs to subsidize large scale housing development with a focus on housing cooperatives (people owned apartment complexes, not profit-driven company owned), and change laws so that people don't have to live so far away from where they work.

You can buy your house and plot of land, but we need more places for people to get out of the street in general, and ways to put people in places where they can contribute to a city's economy. The government can also do things like reduce minimum parking requirements within a city so that apartment builders don't need to subsidize car infrastructure out of pocket. This would have the side benefit of people walking or biking to work more, which can help out local businesses in a city.

The benefit is that if there are more affordable housing options available, that gives people the freedom to switch jobs or take a leave from their job to care for their loved ones when they fall ill. The stability that is provided by having a home is so important to being able to integrate into society.

edit: adding some links for sources on housing cooperative effects on housing costs and the cost of parking requirements on new developments.
