On rare occasions, I notice extreme spikes in ping when playing against other people (ex: average stable ping in game suddenly quadruples and on the highest end, manages to hit tenfold for a few seconds). During the rare occurrences, the context is that the game is going strong or starting to turn around in my favor. | ||

He would need some knowledge to figure out your ip and a minor botnet to screw with your latency while not affecting his own. More likely your ISP sucks. | ||

During the rare occurrences, the context is that the game is going strong or starting to turn around in my favor. The games ping is the ping to the other player though, right? So you are just playing against someone that you have a poor connection to, which can be due to your connection, your opponents connection, or something in between. Or are you saying that you lose ping to your local ISP when playing? Like, doing a speed test in a browser or something? | ||

There are accountants to help small businesses and independant workers or to provide "optimizations" for higher incomes, but it's not something the average citizen would use. | ||

Sweden as well since long. Australia is also getting there these days, with almost everything "normal" people need filled out automatically. | ||

In my personal experience smaller time businesses are better at this kind of thing, and do better than me doing my taxes myself. H&R block, and there are a ton of other services like Turbo Tax suck and honestly tend not to get you the best return in the states. | ||

The amount you are paid is already filled in, and they also use this method so most people will not check whether there are some expenses they can deduce from this amount. So you actually have to get some more information in order to paid the real amount you owe and not the maximum amount you may owe. Though when you look for it, the information is quite clear, and the people you can contact are quite helpful (for me for far that is~) | ||

Instead they take the right amount in PAYE. H&R, Turbotax and so forth only exist because of lobbying the US government to make overtaxation and then refund season a thing. It's this totally normal part of American life that nobody else in the world does. There is no reason why the government couldn't tax you the "right" amount, it's a fictional industry worth hundreds of billions annually that creates no value. | ||

No, they don't. We don't need to waste everyone's life only to keep the fantasy of employment going. If work is not needed, then it's not needed, period. It only requires people to stop thinking that the current societal system is the only possibility. But that's a rather off-topic direction even for this thread, because the question of how to reshape our societies to acknowledge the fact that the industrial revolution was two centuries ago, is everything but a simple or stupid question. | ||

Would be a good start. Notice how womens numbers are lower in every single category. So unless you assume that female athletes just don't try hard enough, it appears that there are indeed some biological factors that make the strongest women less strong than the strongest men. I haven't looked at other sets, but i am pretty sure it looks similar in every strength based competition. | ||
