You're still responsible for taxes. In the US, the IRS has secret algorithms that guess what your income is, based on what they learn of your expenses. No visible means of support == tax cheater, and you will be audited. I'm pretty sure the tax departments in most European countries (Italy has been an exception) are the same. You might appear to get away with it for up to three years, because the IRS does its audits in the fourth year, but the risk is high. So you gotta ask yourself, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you?

Break the law? Especially the federal law? No. Low reward, very high risk.
And at least for what I get paid I suspect it would require breaking multiple laws since it would require circumvention processes that are also illegal.

And the rate varies often. So how exactly do you negotiate your salary? Is it in another currency and thus effectively the only reason for doing it is to circumvent the law? If so I suspect that is another law broken in the above (conspiracy perhaps.)

I'm with the 'don't trust crypto currencies' school. They are not regulated and are quite likely to go off "POP" just when you don't want them to.

Oooh, just pipped at the post. Still, you have the satisfaction of knowing you got it correct and that you don't have to do it tomorrow.

Sorry, I've been busy shouting at an insurance company for the last hour. Will be posting shortly.

That only ever got me more frustrated.
Solicitors are the only thing they understand other than "Give us your money", "it wasn't worth as much as that", and "not covered".

Indeed. I got one level up from the call centre to a "floor manager" who informed me she was the only manager available. Apparently their senior management trust them so much that only one person has to be around.

You only had to spend one hour shouting at them? That almost sounds like a recommendation!

There's a reason banks and insurance companies own the biggest buildings in the/any city,
for sure it ain't from giving money away[/back].

Does the fact that "The eye of the tiger" is the only Rocky theme most people can name indicate survivor bias?
|
|

there were others?
wait, Eye of the Tiger was used in a Rocky movie?
there was music?
hmmm, learned another [useless] fact for the day.

«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

Is it just me - does Windows really just hate me - or is the issue of Windows (10) screwing up your icon placement on your desktop reasonably widespread.
I'm sitting here minding my own business and suddenly the background flickers and all my extremely OCDly organised icons are all, once again, stacked up on the left hand side of the screen.
Anyone else being plagued by this?
cheers
