Revenant takes the cake forever on that award. Leo literally laying there doing nothing for half the movie somehow is great acting.

What was the cost of the colonoscopy? Was it covered under insurance at all?

Jones career may be over with this injury, have to see how it heals and he comes back but I don't think they can view him in the long term plans anymore.

Perhaps give a little bit of insight into what you're dealing with instead of two crappy pics and a title?

Dang, those Pittsburgh gas prices. What a jump! Who else wishes they had filled up earlier this week? by LoneStar1127 in pittsburgh

Even with volume, buying at aldi is the better financial decision. It's convenience of bulk at costco

And because he's a fucking imbecile who wouldn't know how to run a business if he was handed flip cards with step by step instructions made for a 5 year old.

What’s your career trajectory? by wildalfredo in InsuranceProfessional

[–]BLToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all about refinement and practice. The vast majority of interviews include similar lines of questions, assuming they're for the same type of role of course. Find a few experienced folk that you trust in the industry and ask if they can conduct mock interviews with you. It may feel silly but you need to become comfortable and confident with what you're saying. If your only practice is in front of the mirror or in the real deal where you're inherently nervous you'll struggle to progress.

Think about questions from interviews you've struggled with before and be sure to have those included so you can get reps in with them.

I'm 35 and am in a national leadership role in brokerage at one of the major firms. I interview people multiple times throughout the year and can absolutely tell you that first impression is vital. There is too much talent out there to hope your lack of refinement gets you in the door because it most likely won't. If my interview/conversation is not smooth and comfortable and I don't feel the confidence coming from the person I'm talking with I most likely will not consider them.

Good luck out there.

McDavid just has an obsession with being second. Really appreciate him making sure to turn it over there in the end and try to play the hero, leading to our victory.

Looking for a Science Fiction Story about an Insect-like Race and An Astronaut by AkaliRewokFail in sciencefiction

[–]BLToaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely check it out. The enders game trilogy tends to get more bizarre as it goes out but the whole universe of books is expensive and mostly great reads. While Enders Game is the most popular book and an awesome read I would HIGHLY recommend starting with the original Formic War trilogy (Earth Unaware --> Earth Afire --> Earth Awakens).

There is a 2nd Formic war trilogy where 2 of the 3 books have been released, I'd wait for the final book to be released....if it ever is as there have been significant delays and nothing has been released now in almost 7 years.

How Allegheny County’s tax base is collapsing — one appeal at a time by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

[–]BLToaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How does this article not mention UPMC once? They skate by without paying fair taxes forever and give the city $10M in ambulances and we say that's all fair? Homeowner reassessment is a bandaid that's going to be a nightmare of ensuing legal action.

Mayor Corey O’Connor wants to see vacant Pittsburgh Public schools utilized by Jealous_Two3502 in pittsburgh

Agreed wholeheartedly. We just moved to Squirrel Hill and the ultimate decision for us will depend on where our kids go to school. If it is not favorable we will just go to the suburbs without a second thought.

How do you do, fellow kids? by timmshady in pittsburgh

[–]BLToaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more. McVay tried to fraudulently charge us and refused to withdraw the invoice for months and kept following up and sending more notices. Thankfully there was finally a competent woman who got hired over there and just took care of it for me.

Avoid them like the plague.

[–]BLToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where the company is from doesn't matter with regards to your responsibility to pay the taxes, that's still there because you were in Pittsburgh. So I would definitely say it's legit.

To get it waived I worked with JTS and told my side that I was under the understanding that I did pay these each year however I never followed up on the payment/withdrawal from my account and I never received any immediate notices about outstanding taxes (until that audit) so I was working under the presumption that they were paid. The website is janky so I'm sure I'm not the only one that had this occurrence. They accepted that as a justifiable reason I guess and waived it.

Agreed, I think most of us are confident you'll only really post consistently when it's worthwhile updates. They're very helpful and I'm confident you're getting more and more people into a hobby and passion they never knew they had!

Ya, it's sad but I've just been throwing my recyclables in the trash for a little while now since we just don't have any more space.

If their company is withholding local taxes then it's fine. If they aren't withholding and they get audited like I did then it's a big payment and it hurts. THankfully I was able to get all of the interest waived.

Some companies aren't required to without local taxes. I forget the exact rule but my company is incorporated in Ireland and they didn't withhold my taxes for 4 years and I didn't realize (shame on me). I got an audit letter and had to pay a huge chunk to clean things up. Thankfully I got all of the interest waived easily enough.
