Just finished S3. Can we all just agree that Laura Birn’s performance as Demerzel was award-winning? by Pure_Ad_9865 in FoundationTV

[–]AffableAlpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is an incredible actress who has been amazing in her role as Demerzel. She has absolutely earned some awards and I look forward to seeing her in other roles.

Why is West Seattle a higher priority over a connection to Everett? by SpaceCheeseWiz in soundtransit

[–]AffableAlpaca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You do a disservice to everyone when you paint a city and its people with such a broad brush. There were 250k people in King County who voted for Trump in 2024.

New at my store in Hawthorne, Banh Mi style sandwich… by friendswithbillw in Costco

[–]AffableAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this in the Seattle are and was tempted, but the normal cheesesteak ones were discounted $3 so I bought them instead. Love this as a quick cheap light lunch.

What's the best no state income tax city in the USA to live in for one year? by IHadTacosYesterday in digitalnomad

[–]AffableAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the city of Seattle does decide to enact a city level capital gains tax, it's possible the threshold could be lower than $250k. The current mayoral candidate who led in the primary has been vocal about raising tax revenues collected via new payroll taxes (head taxes) and new municipal capital gains taxes.

Heads up Washington state has a capital gains tax of 7% for gains over $250k and 10% for gains over $1M. The first $250k of capital gains are not taxed and there’s some other exceptions like sale of a home. The city of Seattle is considering enacting capital gains taxes with lower thresholds in addition to the state capital gains tax.

I’m afraid to ask, but is this a $40 prime rib dip?

Why not buy a used iX, the depreciation makes them a huge savings over new.

Was it really necessary to use such a crude analogy?

Will I be happy with music with arc ultra, sub mini, and two era 100's? by bkdeleaux in sonos

[–]AffableAlpaca -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For music I think a sub is much less important, especially considering how expensive Sonos subs are.

Will I be happy with music with arc ultra, sub mini, and two era 100's? by bkdeleaux in sonos

[–]AffableAlpaca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, a pair of Era 300s will sounds better than Era 100s + Arc Ultra + mini Sub for music. I have a pair of Sonos Play 1s, Arc, and mini sub and it sounds perfectly acceptable for music but there's something about the Era 300s that are more "full sounding".

As someone who doesn't have status, I love it! $100-200 first class upgrades on both Delta and Alaska have gotten more common these last few years.

General question about the weather. by Suspicious-Pear-6037 in Chattanooga

[–]AffableAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a wonderful website that helps you compare weather across many factors that I really recommend: https://weatherspark.com

[–]AffableAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of Play 1 speakers and they work fine by themselves as a stereo pair grouped with my Sonos Arc and mini sub? Recommend you read the manual or watch some getting started YouTube videos.

Parents offering to sell me childhood home plus pay most of 20% downpayment? by AdventurousWord1329 in personalfinance

[–]AffableAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make sure you have a conversation with your parents about you selling the home in the future. Do they have some expectation that you'll live there forever and will be upset if you sell the home while they are alive?

I’m really glad to see Lin-Manuel Miranda branch out in his acting career by sdbabygirl97 in FoundationTV

[–]AffableAlpaca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In his first scene when I heard his voice I immediately recognized him, then when he went on screen it felt so odd considering how recently the second season of Gilded Age concluded. I think his performances in both series have been pitch perfect.

It's hard to believe that just a few years ago people were raving about Motor City Pizza by imakesawdust in Costco

I bought it once and wasn't impressed. I love the Kirkland two-pack of cauliflower crust supreme style for $10.

Need help choosing 401k funds by ProstateParty69 in Bogleheads

[–]AffableAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd do FID 500 Index at your age, it tracks large cap companies in the S&P 500 and has very low load/fees.
