I ran into this too. There are ways around it. You can do a paper filing, which takes forever, but if you have access to all your tax documents from last year, you should be able to fill everything in without going through the authentification process.

I always use H&R Block, and when they asked for my AGI for last year, they gave me the option to get it from the IRS website. That's where I ran into the biometrics. Seemed kind of sus to me, so I dug through my files, found everything from last year, and calculated it myself.

And yes, my return was already accepted. They claim I'll get my return by the first week of March.

Class 4 has a different color scheme. That said 1.4, low explosives. The secondary class 6 and 8 labels have me a bit perplexed. 1.4 includes small arms primers, but corrosive primers haven't been used in decades, and that doesn't account for the toxic label. I can't for the life of me think of anything that would fit all 3 classes.

Anecdotal: the new Gamestop fulfillment center in PA is seeing increased truck activity lately. I'm a trucker, and I drive past it every day leaving my home terminal.

How much of that farmland is technically over the Yellowstone supervolcano?

Do it. It's not you that gets it shut down. You didn't build it. You didn't brush it under the rug. Speak truth, and your hands are clean.

Classic Arthur is one of the few cartoons I'm okay with my kids watching. Nice to see kids being kids. Siblings fight. Friends prank each other. Everyone has their own problems to deal with, but they man up and deal with them.

And Brain was the best Arthur character. Change my mind.

This is like the Democrat who tried to own us by suggesting legally mandated paternal responsibility starting at conception. They really don't understand us at all.

And you know, the left will do it just to destroy the platform. I've seen it happen before. Way back in the MySpace days, there was an attempt to build a Christian alternative. People flooded the site with hentai and killed it.

Maybe I'm too conspiratorial, but the timing of this announcement seems suspicious. We're a few weeks from launch, DWAC was climbing steadily, and now there's news that Truth will do the one thing we all didn't want? I don't trust it. I think the story is being spun to sound bad.

Yeah, I went through it too and nothing jumped out at me. In fact, I'm invested in some of those same funds. They're my "safe" investments, paying out a steady dividend. I got slightly excited when I got to the "gifts and reimbursements" section, but there was nothing noteworthy there.

Still, public employee -> public disclosure. That's the way it should work.

From my quote of the day app this morning:

“If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means; and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.” - Epictetus

Coincidence?

I make no presupposition regarding the length of the genome. Read what I said again. Go to any point within the entire genome, you have a 25% chance of finding any particular nucleotide base. Pluck any string of 19 out of the genome; regardless of how long the entire genome is, this is the chance that it will match this sequence. That is the calculation I did. True, if there are multiple sets to choose from, that increases the odds of finding this sequence, but that isn't the calculation I did. I gave the chance that any single set of 19 matches. I never tried to represent it as anything else.

There is only one way for this sequence to occur. For those bases to occur in that exact order. Where you make the cuts is irrelevant. That's the odds of that specific sequence occurring at any point. There's a 1 in 4 chance of having cytosine at any point in the genome. There's a 1 in 4 chance will be followed by thymine. There's a 1 in 4 chance that that will be followed by cytosine again, etc. What I gave was an absolute value; the odds of this specific sequence occurring anywhere.

Quick math, that's 19 nucleotides with 4 possible bases at each location. 4^19 possible combinations. That's 1 in, wait for it...

274,877,906,944

EDIT: If that number looks big, it is. That's almost 275 BILLION.

No, I mean the quote I used was Scottish, not Irish. You're good.
