Your hubris is what's laughable. You have a neighbor who contracts for the IRS, yet somehow he knows the entirety of their computer network and their future plans. Yeah, laughable.
By the way, why don't you go ahead and tell us you are a typical Democrat who plans to vote for Biden even if...
This is true. However, as with 1099 verifications, humans at the IRS are never involved. Well, actually it does require clerks to open the mail and scan the forms into the system. Although the majority of returns and filings are electronic these days?
Artificial Intelligence is going to...
Biden is falling all over himself promising that the US taxpayer will pay 100% of the cost of rebuilding the bridge. (The attempts at vote-buying never stop.)
How about making the shipping company pay to rebuild the bridge? After all, they are the ones who destroyed it. If the shipping...
The harbor is only 50 feet deep, if they would have dropped anchor(s) at first sign of trouble, they were plenty far enough from the bridge. The anchor is going to be on the seabed in what, 3 seconds?
Even if the ship rotated all the way around the anchor, it wouldn't have hit the bridge...
This is true, and it's simple for the IRS to do: when the IRS gets all their copies of the 1099's, they all get scanned into a computer...a big computer.
And then, that big computer goes on the lookout for the matching 1099 to come in on the individual's tax return. If it doesn't come in, an...
The crew must work for some cheapskates.
The news said the ships can hire tugs to guide them completely in and out of the harbor, but this ship (and many that use the port) did not.
Wanna bet the port authority requires full tugs escort from now on?
Also, at the first sign of an issue that...
This is largely urban legend.
Wealthy people don't do their own taxes, they hire accountants and tax attorneys. Just where are all these professionals so willing to blatantly cheat on their wealthy client's taxes? Willing to risk prison time to save their client some bucks??
This isn't the...
I git what you're saying Ox.
I was just making a point about "unfair fines". Charging a small business almost $2k for filing a tax return late is a bit much. Especially when it's basically an informational return only, no taxes are ever due.
Similar to how New York is doing Trump, eh? (He...
Ah, now it makes sense, you're a PhD: simply superior in your intellect...at least in your mind.
To have a PhD in mechanical engineering and not believe we actually landed on the moon is laughable.
Let me guess, you're an independent thinking liberal who voted and will vote for the senile...
As an S-corporation in America, try filing your annual tax return 1120S one day late: the penalty is almost $2,000!
Even though an 1120S is a pass-through entity---all profits or loss passes through to the shareholder's personal tax returns. So why such a high penalty for what amounts to an...
I was just making a simple hillbilly observation, based on being an engineer and machinist for 40+ years. How long has is been since you received your engineering degree from a nationally-recognized engineering university, and how many years have you run a successful machine shop?
Like I say...
The hardest part of going to the moon is the same for any rocket flight: getting out of the earth's atmosphere and into space without blowing up.
Once in space, it's relatively simple math to put the spacecraft on a trajectory to the moon.
Landing on the moon itself is a crap shoot of...
The US federal government needs to capture more tax money from the half of the population that doesn't work (children, elderly, handicapped, deadbeats, silver-spooners, drug dealers, etc.).
A national sales tax could capture more money from the non-working half, and get a chunk from the...
A failing servo drive or encoder can cause erratic behavior with the rapids at 100%.
The vibrations could be induced by the failing servo drive into the motor...might be worth a check. Especially if the machine does fine at 50% rapids.

Starrett's story is no different than other U.S. machine tool companies of the past---America's ineptitude against Japanese fortitude produced obvious winners over the decades.
Mitutoyo has taken over the world of shop-floor metrology with consistent quality, dependable accuracy, and...
