don't they know that logic will always be incomplete, and absolute truth is beyond all logic?

In 1931, the Czech-born mathematician Kurt Gödel demonstrated that within any given branch of mathematics, there would always be some propositions that couldn't be proven either true or false using the rules and axioms ... of that mathematical branch itself. You might be able to prove every conceivable statement about numbers within a system by going outside the system in order to come up with new rules and axioms, but by doing so you'll only create a larger system with its own unprovable statements. The implication is that all logical system of any complexity are, by definition, incomplete; each of them contains, at any given time, more true statements than it can possibly prove according to its own defining set of rules.

I want to be left with $5K after taxes. 33% is the total tax rate.

33% tax on $5K is $1.5K.

But, If I wanted to be left with $5K, to say that I'd have to make a total of $6.5K to pay the taxes doesn't calculate correctly because if I made 6.5K, the tax rate of 33% would apply to that total, which leaves me with $4,355. So, the 1.K seems to shortchange the taxes, I'd otherwise pay.

I calculate I'd have to make $7,426.69 to be left with $5K. 33% of the 7K figure is roughly 5K.

Yet, it seems when I read about taking tax breaks that would mean I wouldn't have to pay tax on $5K, third-parties just seem to say I'd save $1.5K. Is this just laziness or ignorance on their part, or am I wrong by trying to take into account what I want to be left with not just what I'd pay on the amount.

And is there an economic term that accounts for this?

If there is, why do business/finance writers just say you'd save 1.5K on 5K of income, not that you'd save 2.5K to be left with 5K?

Normally, I tend to be in relationships that last for two weeks at a time, and I practically couldn't even get a date in high school.

Apparently, I'm not a bad looking guy, and the girls I go out with, and the ones I am friends with, say how much of a nice guy and how sweet I am. But for some reason, all my relationships end the same way. Either with them ignoring me, or dumping me with no reason why.

I thought dating was supposed to be fun, but it's turning into torture for me. What can I do to improve my lovelife? Or even jumpstart it?

Why don't you show yourself? You supposedly made us and want us to believe in you, right? Why the big mystery? You're also omnipresent, right? Why don't you show yourself to all of us at once and have a personal discussion with us? You can pick the date and time, we'll all stop what we are doing, I'm sure.

It's been over 4 months now and our 28 gallon hasn't cycled yet. We've used the product Bio-Spira twice on it and have had fish in it (unfortunatly) since Jan 1st.
I've tested the water almost every single day, and when it seems like things are looking good.. all of a sudden.. BAM.. ammonia starts to rise again for no reason.
I have do about 30% water changes every other day to ensure the fish are as less stressed as possible, but I know this wouldn't cause the tank to take this long.

The first month, everything was going great, ammonia went up, nitrite showed up, ammonia went down, nitrite went down, and nitrate rose. Then one day.. ammonia was gone.. YAY.. but 2-3 days later... ammonia started to show on the tests again.
And just recently after we used Bio-Spira again to try to get things started... ammonia readings, nitrite readings, some nitrate.... then one day.. POOF.. no more nitrite, but still have ammonia.
What is going on??

C'mon now, even the Seattle Sonics were on TNT one time for a regular season game and they suck. Why aren't Raptor games ever on national stations such as on TNT or ESPN? Yeah, now they appear on national TV more b/c it's the playoffs, so that obviously disproves the opinions of some that they suck. Also, it's not like no one wants to see them play - at least 1,000,000 fans voted for Chris Bosh for the All Star Game.

I have just recovered from H-Pylori. But with the sickness and without it now I still can not eat! I get hunger pangs maybe twice a week. I can go two days on a banana. I gained twenty pounds from NOT eating. I'm trying to lose the weight ( i'm only 27) and I can't lose it. I have tried eating little bit at a time, but I'm FULL all the time. I need to lose this weight. I need to be healty again. I'm the only person who gains wait from not eating. I eat only protein shakes and bananas. I may have soup twice a week. I cannot live like this. In order to speed up my metabolism and digest food again what do I need to do?. Should I re instate good bacteria from a probiotic regiment?. Take enzyme pills?. Any advice. I'm at my wits end. It's my high school reunion in two weeks! Not to mention I hate feeling full like I ate a 5 course meal and all I had was a glass of milk!

My mom has a disorder that causes an unnatural, uncontrollable urge to control EVERYTHING around her, or, not even around her. From how and when the grass is cut, to what is going on in MY bank account, to what my husband does and if SHE thinks it's important..........I know moms can be nosey, but this is insane. She has a thing with calling her bank ten, fifteen times a day and figuring and re-figuring the money she has. There are DOZENS of papers on her table that are literally COVERED with numbers from her figuring her finances. I know she probably has OCD to say the least, I myself suffer from BPD plus a few other things, but what should I search on the internet for and bring to her attention that she may want to go to the doctor for? She knows she might have a small problem, but she really doesn't see the severity of it. Maybe if I give her some possibilities, she might want to look into it further. I don't want to diagnose her, just open her eyes and maybe a few doors.
