Guessing you're writing about the US? Unless you're a user on a clearly country-specific server, a large chunk of users do not know what this country is.

I don't really have anything to add, but thanks for writing this. It's quite insightful.

It's not considered worth undertaking such an initiative when most nuclear power plants have no problem just leaving the heavy (solid concrete and steel) casks as they are. They are not some looming threat, and they just sit there, outside, taking up a pretty small amount of space on the plants' property. Nothing else is done because there is no real incentive to move them; no one cares.

It's Debian instead of normal mint.

...but seriously, it uses Debian as a base for its upstream packages instead of Ubuntu. They're very similar and you won't notice a difference.

I'll disagree and suggest to go with the latest release of the normal (Ubuntu-based) Mint instead. I prefer Debian over Ubuntu, but there's realistically little difference. And if you're just getting into the Linux world, you'll want to be using what's used by most people in case you run into problems and want to follow written instructions or ask for support.

If you want some bomb-ass Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, get this stuff.

Looks like it's out of stock right now on amazon.com, but it's available on amazon.ca.

I lived for a while in Hakata and went out for ramen at an entirely unhealthy frequency, so I've got some cred lol. This stuff isn't the same, but it's by far the best ramen broth I've had at home.

I haven't tried too many different noodles, but so far this has been the best. Kinda steep price per bowl tho, so I only use them once in a while. You might be able to get better, maybe fresher ramen noodles from a local Asian grocery store.

With that combo, you've got the core of a damn good bowl of at-home ramen that you can make in 5 minutes. See if you can find some pork belly, cut into slices or hunks (your preference), add whatever you use for garnish and you've got a cheap bowl of ramen you could probably justify charging money for.

How would the removal of the primary residence exception disproportionately disadvantage someone who has to move every 2-3 years?

Would you not just have to include the capital gains or deduct the capital loss on the difference in home value from those 2-3 years alone? Meaning likely a rather small amount. In fact, wouldn't you be less affected than most seeing as your gain would possibly be in a lower tax bracket given the lower amount and also under the new $250K threshold. Or...am I missing something?

Not that I think a blanket removal of the principal residence exception is even a good idea, I just don't follow your argument here.
