If in the US, property tax got lumped in with state income tax to create a cap where property tax benefit went away for a lot of people, but the mortgage interest deduction is still there, no (on the first $750,000)?
I can think of many restaurants with really good food that went out of business... that's a terrible analogy. Certainly a very helpful ingredient, though maybe not even the main one.
I agree that it's definitely not a foolproof analogy. But good food (like good music) is usually a table-stakes ingredient for a successful restaurant. Again of course again, there are exceptions there too.
I'm surprised how little skepticism there is about posts like these. A month earlier the user posted a comment about a mortar round in the same group, and posted a video about a security prank. Not saying it's fake, but it's far from obviously true.
I definitely believe he's just pranking everyone now. here's a translation:
On one thread on Reddit, an interesting thing is being discussed today. The user, with the nickname WhySoSadCZ, posted a photo of where an old bomb lies between the server racks on the ground. It is supposed to be a location in the Czech Republic, specifically in a server room in offices of unnamed smaller companies.
"No one has been in the server since the last person left IT two months ago and apparently took his keys," WhySoSadCZ writes that he was going to repair the air conditioning in the room and had to get in without the keys.
The user further writes that the business owner has no idea how the bomb took place there. He also states that the building has been evacuated and that the police have been involved here.
Police Spokesperson of the Czech Presidency of the Czech Republic, Jozef Bocan, however, told Lupu that the police did not carry out such an action. "We do not know anything about this description at this moment," he said.
Especially since there are no other pictures, news reports, or witnesses to what would be a huge spectacle.
I believe this is probably a deacitvated missle someone had as a curio (I see similar stuff used as door stops in military surplus stores). OP then decided it would be funny to stick it in a bundle of wires and tell people he found it.
I've been following /r/whatisthisthing for several years now (highly recommended, btw) and it is exceptionally rare for people to post fake/staged questions for karma points there. This is reddit indeed, but subs vary quite a bit in how the function.
I'm in the central US, so I've never come across something this large... but I have been present a few times when people have found explosives while going through a deceased person's belongings. A couple of those were (very old) commercial explosives, but in one instance it was a few live Vietnam-era M-61 hand grenades. In that particular case they didn't even call the police - they'd already found the paperwork for them; they were legal and registered, though stored improperly.
I suspect they want the app to have an easy access icon on their home screen. I don't think most people know you can save a shortcut as an icon from a given web page on their home screen.
