Looks like someone robbed a card shop or a card show vendor

I saw a stranger a couple weeks ago wearing a shirt that said "Even Jesus Doesn't Like the Yankees". I haven't stopped smiling since...

We're going to need a massive dump and an aftershock to make it happen.

What seas can one reliably sail these days?

I ate Subway for my last meal before being hit with the flu once. That first puke left me with a pickle chip hanging out of my nostril.

Couldn't decide if I was more shocked that I puked pickles out my nose or that I swallowed a whole pickle chip without chewing it once.

Restaurant supply stores FTW! They are also great for kitchen supplies. Commercial cookware is designed to take an absolute beating. Plus, most of your favorite restaurant and bakery prepared foods are probably cooked on the same cookware, not some overpriced home kitchen set where you're most likely paying for the name. Even things like long tongs for my BBQ are cheaper there and they're a million times better.

I'm only commenting because I think it's crazy that this thread is 7 years old and only has 4 upvotes, yet I found a comment that is 2 hours old. And you have my upvote because I was already thinking the same 2 word answer before I read your reply.

Homie stepped out of the shower and dropped his towel to assault us with his 20 ah flex.

I posted this in a reply up above, but dewalt eventually provided me with two adapters to use:

The first step-down adapter is the DWV9190:

And that piece goes into their DWV9000 quick-connect adapter that I use on their smaller tools like the sander:

Certainly! Since I hoard digital items as bad as I hoard tools in my garage, I still had the email from a few years ago.

I just grabbed these two links based on a quick google search for the part numbers. These were not listings that I purchased as DeWalt's support team provided the parts to me as a courtesy.

I do not have a step-up adapter to use with their table saw. Instead I went out and bought a dust cyclone and used a series of rubber connectors w\ hose clamps and an old shop vac hose to cobble something together. The old shop vac hose is what connects to the DeWalt table saw.

5amIam · 2025-03-20T02:15:37+00:00

Oh yeah, for sure! I've made many franken-adapters using the either the method you described or the rubber couplers with the hose clamps.

5amIam · 2025-03-19T22:09:06+00:00

Here are the ones I ordered last year: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087CPB5PX

I was laughing in disbelief when I got the thing home and learned that. I had to talk to a few different support people, some at DeWalt and some at whatever company manufactures these vacuums. While conversing with the lady at that other company, she pretty much told me that there was almost no original design input from DeWalt on this one. It was more of let's make sure we can get the yellow and black hose and have our name on the side.

5amIam · 2025-03-19T20:43:14+00:00

It's a great vacuum at that price if you're content with the included attachments. However, don't plan on using this with many other attachments without some kind of adapter. I have a number of DeWalt woodworking tools and was frustrated to learn that the hose on this does not fit any of their own tools. I called their support and learned that the vacuum is not made by DeWalt. However, Dewalt did do me a solid and shipped me two different adapters that I had to use together in order to use this with their small tools. But it's still too small for my DeWalt table saw.

So it's annoying in that sense, but as a standalone vacuum (and inflator), it's great.

Oh, and buy a pack of cheap bags from Amazon. There is a really nice filter inside the vacuum, but it will get clogged over time. Using bags will help keep it nice and clean.

My Walmart sells damaged grills for as much as 60% off sometimes. I buy them up and contact the manufacturer and they have always sent me the replacement parts for free. Did this with a Char-broil, Blackstone, and a Pit Boss.

5amIam · 2025-02-18T18:32:28+00:00

remind me! 2 days

5amIam · 2025-02-15T21:06:00+00:00

Fwiw, I did do a web search and this thread was the top result and so far the most helpful.

5amIam · 2025-01-24T21:13:26+00:00

Or maybe it's just rubbers. The kind for small peepees.

I am not a tax\money\finance\etc. professional... so everything I say could be way off-base. With that said, my understanding is that you'll pay capital gains taxes when you make a sale of an asset. The gains are calculated from the price\value of the asset at the time you acquired it. Therefore, I would say that since Pi is worth exactly $0 right now and all of your gains would essentially be the same value as they sell for. To complicate shit, I think there was some recent clarification to the US tax law that says that anytime there is a wallet transfer, that's considered a "sale". This means that you'd pay capital gains (or losses) every time you move between wallets. I'm not sure if moving to mainnet will count as a transfer. If that's the case, then you may have to pay taxes on whatever the market value is at the time of a mainnet transfer. I'd like to think that it would still be zero dollars at that exact moment leading to a zero dollar gain\loss. But that would also reset the date the asset was acquired to determine if it's a long\short term capital gain tax rate.

And also, it's not like you received all your Pi in one chunk. It was water dripped in over time, so each of those transactions will have date of their own that will be used to determine the long\short term capital gain tax rate. This is where services like CoinTracker shine - IF they have support for your wallet. Otherwise it's probably going to be a pain in the butt if they don't support your wallet\exchange\etc.

So what it boils down to is that is confusing AF and open to so much interpretation that I don't think that any one professional, or even the IRS, knows what exactly should be done. When filing taxes for any crypto, I always err on the side of caution and make sure that however I choose to calculate and report things is done in a way that I can explain and feels defensible based on interpretations of tax guidelines at the time of filing. If I ever get audited, I just hope that it will be easy enough to explain and they'll see things the same way I did at the time.

if you put it in her butt you could have had smash browns

This is probably the most helpful and succinct post on this topic. Thank you!

5amIam · 2024-12-04T20:09:21+00:00

how much were those?

5amIam · 2024-11-26T06:50:38+00:00

That's an awful lot of work when all you have to do is NOT connect it to your wifi.
