genuine question : I am thinking about this for my next move
has anyone here ever lived in a hotel long term? not a week or month. I mean actually lived there. like Udo Lindenberg has been living in the Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg for over 30 years type of situation
because the more I think about it the more it makes sense to me financially and logistically. no furniture. no maintenance. no utility contracts. no dealing with landlords or property management. cleaning handled. laundry handled. food available 24/7. gym and amenities included. you check in and your entire life is operationally managed by someone else from that point forward
and from a tax perspective I am fairly certain I can write off a hotel as a business expense significantly better than I can write off rent depending on how the structure is set up. if you are travelling between cities for work and your “primary residence” is a hotel in the city where your business operates the deductibility argument is substantially cleaner than trying to write off a portion of a flat. obviously depends on jurisdiction and how aggressive your accountant is willing to be but the structure seems favourable
I am not talking about living in a Holiday Inn. I am talking about a proper long term rate at a good hotel where they know you and you have your own setup and it actually becomes your home
if anyone has done this or is currently doing this I want to hear about it. what was the rate structure like long term.? did it actually work lifestyle wise or did it get depressing after a while? how did you handle mail and residency? was the tax treatment actually better than renting?
genuinely curious. I am actually considering this.
let me know

@Prusa3D Did you think about using wood filament next time to 3d print wood enclosures? 3d wood filament smells way better than ASA too. 🤣

@Prusa3D I print large format boots out of TPU... do you have any machines that can do 185x350x460mm? (these are the boots I used when I climbed Mt. Fuji)

@BahaBlastoise Actually, I'm planning to print an "Airless Balloon" next week using our new red #PRUSAMENTTPU
I'll let you know!

@bengold @bryan_johnson THE BLUEPRINT MARKUP IS 973,000%. SO IT WAS ONLY 9LBS OF POWDER

@bryan_johnson Wait, I can’t even picture what that much creatine looks like. Like how many lbs is that?
English

Someone stole $630,000 worth of Blueprint creatine in an elaborate heist.
The driver used a false ID to pick up the units from our factory, then turned off the tracker and stopped responding to calls.
The stolen creatine monohydrate was precision-dosed and third-party tested for purity and heavy metals. 15,918 units of pure grade A powder.
If anyone has information, lmk. Even if we don't recover the creatine, I'd at least like to know this person's health stats.
Here’s a rendering of what we suspect the perp might look like.

Please enjoy this Cheeky Pint / @dwarkesh_sp crossover with @elonmusk.
Dwarkesh was most interested in how Elon is going to make space datacenters work. I was most interested in Elon's method for attacking hard technical problems, and why it hasn’t been replicated as much as you might expect. But we got into plenty of topics in this three-hour session.

@One_Way_Home @j0ker937 Why is it the guy that is the biggest loser doing this stuff? They pretend that they are brave and defying standards but they are always weak little freaks.

@JesterJum @JesterJum
The only legit ways FICA withholding can be stopped
1) Religious exemption (Form 4029)
Read IRS “About Form 4029” and the form instructions.
this is narrow (e.g., Amish/Mennonite-type situations) and not something you can just “opt into.”

By the time I am 65, over $600,000 will be paid into #SocialSecurity on my behalf.
That money would have been worth $1.9 million if I had gotten a 5% return. My annual interest would be $95k.
The government promises me $3,075/month at age 67, which is $37k/year.
HOW IS THIS NOT THEFT??

@sweatystartup I was the oldest kid in my grade and it’s the single greatest thing my parents ever did for me.
Both academically and athletically it set me ahead of my peers.
It played a huge role in me playing college sports at the level I did.

@randallmbriggs @__tinygrad__ @__tinygrad__ and all the companies started by GEOHOTZ have horrible naming and branding. "make driving chill" was one of the, if not the, dumbest branding moves ever. Tiny Grad is a dumb name.

Long @__tinygrad__ . It’s going to be so important in the near future to own your own compute and run open-source models for your own agent.
