They put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a group of Doberman puppies.
I love how he just lays down, rolls over, gets dog piled, and then does it again… I could watch this shit all day. Lol
Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.
The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.
So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.
Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.
Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.
The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.
Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.
Alright folks, uh I got Fable 5 working.
Uh, in order to make this game, I had to not mention the word microtubule at all. But you will notice there's a certain thing that this is that this game is based off of.
Uh it's um phosphorylating CaMKII turned into a beat game.
Also, sorry about the quality. It's probably compressed. It's a very fast game, but it was reasonably fun to make.
I had it kind of in the back burner and wanted to see if Fable 5 could do it. And I think it did an okay job. Also, this is in the GODOT engine.
I’m really crying cause this is the funniest and cutest thing I have seen all year! I can’t wait for this stage of life! Put your babies in sports!!!❤️🥰
In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸
