I could write an Excel spreadsheet to do them in an hour.
Or... you can download an existing Excel spreadsheet -- even if you itemize -- that looks like and prints a completed 1040 form. It also includes sheets for many (all?) related forms and schedules.

This week, federal prosecutors announced that the chairman of the state’s Republican Party, Robin Hayes, had been indicted on charges of bribery and other crimes related to a scheme they said was designed to aid a major donor, who was also charged.
The revelation came almost six weeks after Republicans faced the rare embarrassment of watching their seeming victory in a congressional race unravel after it became clear that their nominee had financed an illicit voter-turnout effort.
On the up side, Republicans *finally* found a case of massive voter fraud -- but it was perpetrated by Republicans.
You STILL have no software and it's the 21st century already.
Personally, the one piece of Windows software for which I really haven't found a decent Linux replacement is Publisher (2010). I use it to make greeting cards and such and while other apps can handle the layouts, graphics and text okay, they all suck to some degree or another with regard to paper and envelope handling (like for greeting cards) compared to Publisher. I also *still* have a fairly extensive personal budgeting spreadsheet in Lotus 123, which I'm loath to port to Excel or Libre Calc -- luckily 123 and WordPro still work fine on Windows 10.
At the moment, I have the following systems at home: Windows 7, Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04 (with CentOS7, Win7 and Win10 VMs) and a Dell T110 (w/32GB RAM) for which I haven't decided what I want to run on it yet. And I've been an admin on just about every version of Windows and type of Unix (ever). So I'm not unexposed to the various options. At the moment, I'm migrating things from my Win7 to Win10 system and will then consider upgrading my Win7 system in-place (shudder) -- as Win7 will be EOL next year (sigh, not a huge fan of Win10).
I thought this game was already a "virtual reality". So will it now be a virtual virtual-reality -- where we can pretend we're pretending? 'Cause I'm kinda doing that right now without actually having the game -- and it's cheaper and *way* less time consuming.
Hydrogen peroxide isn't exactly a strong cleaning agent for something that can naturally occur in your body. Maybe look for something a little more deadly
Kinda depends on the concentration... At 3% you have what you get at the store, at 80% you have rocket fuel.
make a... reading of every driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) level when the driver attempts to start the vehicle.
It's called "drinking and driving" not "drinking and starting" so just remember to either (a) keep the car running before/while you drink or (b) start drinking after you start the car. Problem solved.
If you eat "whole grains", the body just sees a bunch of sugar.
If you eat "fruits", the body just sees a bunch of sugar—the worst kind, in fact: fructose.
Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin.
The video is a university lecture describing fructose metabolism in great detail and how it's similar to that of alcohol metabolism, without the self-limiting effects of alcohol consumption, and it's affects on blood lipids and fatty liver, etc... Basically, sugar bound up with fiber is (way) less destructive than sugar alone -- i.e., Apple/Orange okay, Apple/Orange Juice not okay.
In addition, fructose can *only* be metabolized by the liver whereas glucose can be metabolized by every cell in the body. Sugar itself isn't necessarily bad and it's more about what how much, what type and how it's processed and how fast it's processed by the body.
The contractors quit the previous company that had the contract and join the new one that does.
As I mentioned, this didn't happen and doesn't always happen. When it does, it's often at lower pay and/or lost benefits -- so not really the same thing. Speaking as someone who has seen it happen both ways over my 30+ years of work experience.
(although how many are truly lost, vs. just people being laid off...)
As someone who was laid off in June 2017 (along with 30 other people) and am presently "retired at 55" (though I'm still casually looking because I have value to offer and am a little bored), I'm not sure why you think there's a distinction. Those positions were not filled by other people -- either at my former employer or at other employers -- because the client simply wanted less work done on the contract at renewal. In cases where work is shifted from one employer to another (contract lost by one and won by another) very often (and I know of two examples at my previous employer) the new employer wants to pay any new employees significantly less than at the previous employer (reduced cost -- or the promise of -- is often one big way companies win contracts). Yes, those positions are not lost, but the job is lost -- certainly at the previous levels of experience and knowledge (noting that companies and, it seems especially, the government are often fine with that).

Your sense of "improved experience" may not be mine.
user.js what? Is that how you give tech advice? Just tell people to go to settings, click notifications, and click disable new notification requests.
I mean shit user.js? Why not ask people to download the source and patch out the code and recompile while you're at it? Or use a hex editor to patch the binary exe like the good old days of bypassing DRM?
These settings actually disable the push and web notifications altogether rather than just stopping the confirmation prompts.
As for using "user.js" file... This is pretty common knowledge, but... Firefox stores its per-user configuration settings ("about:config" and the various Option settings) for that user's Firefox profile folder in a text-type file named "prefs.js" (see prefs.js) and these names/values are updated whenever Firefox exits. These settings can be overridden and permanently set by placing similar entries in a text-type file in that folder named, "user.js" (see: user.js. Any names/values specified in this file will get reset for that user every time Firefox starts -- and many, many users utilize this to ensure they or Firefox don't re-enable something.
As for your commentary about downloading, patching and recompiling the source or patching the executable with a hex editor (which I have actually done before) -- stop being a dick.:-)

Well GCC uses some LISP internally. So in a way
I actually didn't know that, thanks!

Also, the demographics skew towards the old side. Over the next 20 years, many are going to die rather than cancel.
The only way to get rid of Comcast, I guess.
One would think... Comcast Refuses To Believe My Father Is Dead
(Note: This is from 2010, so Comcast may be better or worse now -- taking bets on which.)
On the other hand, I'm not sure why that would stop Netflix from supporting AirPlay, since it presumably works fine on actual Apple devices.
Probably some company isn't paying some other company (enough) for something - to support or allow this.
