We’ve finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it’s a more popular platform.

After we lost that one expensive spacecraft we’ve been moving towards metric more and more there as well.

Definitely a lot more out in the country than in the cities or even suburbs. 10% sounds about right.

For years and years I thought that was how this worked. That you said you wanted to round up, and all of the money collected went into a pool that the company then used as a tax write off in one lump sum. So they were stealing your tax write off basically.

Nope, that’s not actually how it works in the US (can’t speak for other counties). If you round up your transaction for charity, you’re eligible to write it off on your taxes as charity. Do most people? Nope. But could they? Yes! And some people even do save their receipts for this purpose.

The company doesn’t get to write it off as their donation, because it’s not. For them it’s pretty neutral, they’re receiving funds and transferring them on behalf of the people who donated them.

Note: I can’t speak for companies that do donations for nonprofits related to them. I assume it’s still neutral for them, since you definitely still can use it as your own tax write off, but I haven’t looked into that side.

I think everyone in your replies is conflating being a full time landlord and a part time landlord. One of them is definitely more evil than the other.

You can select multiple entities at once by holding SHIFT while clicking them (in iD and JOSM at least). From there you can set the missing tag (I think it’s marked=no) at the bottom of the combined tags table in the left pane.

As someone who has been drawing a ton of sidewalks and crossings lately, this is probably the most annoying thing I have to encounter. You can get around the warnings for marked crossings that are automatically created by just setting the markings, but you don’t have that option for unmarked crossings so you either have to set the tag in bulk at the end or hit the upgrade tags button on every node.

This has to be an easy fix to send in a pull request… 🤔
