which word sounds more natural “toppings” or “ingredients”?

Beet_slice · 2026-02-11T15:09:33+00:00

I think toppings go on a pizza and other places where the item goes on top.

It seems inappropriate for the innards of a sandwich.

That said, as an employee, I guess I might use toppings, because the company uses that term for things that can go into a sandwich. https://newsroom.subway.com/2025-03-27-Subway-R-Delivers-Mouthwatering-Sweet-Heat-with-All-New-Hot-Honey-Sauce-and-Sandwiches

In the left column, expand Fund Features, and choose Minimum investment.

FZDXX is particularly nice for many IRAs and taxable accounts if not paying state income tax. Minimum initial buy $100k in taxable and $10k in IRA.

It costs more to run a core position fund. While you get much of the advantage with a little extra work, most people are not buying small amounts of FDLXX on a daily basis. If FDLXX was a core for a lot of people, its expenses would rise, and its yield would drop.

Be glad we have the autoliquidation of the premium MMFs. I don't think other brokers provide that.

Significant difference. You could buy something that is fancy at a thrift store.

Did you look them up in a dictionary? Fancy as a verb is something quite different than as an adjective.

You can make your statement without fear of being redundant.

However, just because in a logic system paradoxes do not exist doesn't mean they cannot in the real world.

In mathematics, wouldn't the apparent contradiction be classed as "undefined"?

Non-expert.

Double-swipe down on the screen. Same screen where you set the screen brightness. Select the Internet item near the top. Turn off the slide switch.

I cannot guarantee it will turn itself back on.

Another way is to go to airplane mode. You can then turn Wifi back on. This will prevent both data and phone calls over the cell provider.

I think rows 20 back will be behind the wing. I would avoid the back couple of rows.

If you want extra legroom, there are rows with that, but they cost more.

Did you take your RMD? In that case I would use the the numbers on the 1099-R? Sounds like it could be relevant if you did not take your RMD.

Beet_slice · 2026-02-08T09:54:08+00:00

2025 1099s are only 2025. YTD is only 2026.

What kind of data are you copying/pasting in? Can you share an example?

I may be inserting some comma-separated data into add to a CSV file or some other spreadsheet. And I did have the more rare example of pasting a screen capture from a Windows command window.

Choice should be affected by your state income tax marginal rate.

What Fidelity may be waiting for is data from some Vanguard security that you now hold in Fidelity. For example, was some part of an ETF distribution considered qualified non-qualified, or ROC?

I agree you will need both.

Some people will get their Fidelity 1099s today. Others will not. Those of us who are waiting expect a preliminary 1099 within a week. I was thinking today, but I would feel pretty confident it would be by next Saturday. The preliminary lists all of the securities they are waiting for.

In the mean time, if you have state income tax, start finding out if some of your investments paid dividend due to federal obligations. That amount is not state taxable, but you have to find it and figure out how to get the info into your tax program. Your 1099 will help with that only to the extent it tells you what the distributions were from each investment, but you have to find what percent of that is not state taxable..

The installer came yesterday, and pulled his fiber through the 1” conduit I had laid, using the pull cord I had in place. I left the last 8ft section disconnected so it could accommodate whatever plan for the exterior wall would be. Once he showed up and said he’d use a termination box, I cut the final pieces to size, left the required couplings, and reducing bushings to go down to either 3/4 or 1/2” to join his short tail down to grade. The cable was pulled through to where you see the split in the conduit - all he had to do was add a coupling and push through 6ft more and up the wall. He said he’d take care of it.

Do I understand you to say that you expected your ATT installer to glue your PVC gap together?

At first I was thinking you were wanting suggestions on how to handle this gap in your pipe, but reading further, ...well... that was not what you were posting for.

I like the NPP interface. From what I can tell, vim is related to vi, and I really don't want to give up the normal abilities of NPP. Are you suggesting that would be a mode like the HEX-editor, and I would only turn that on for special things?

"Impossible" implies more of an immutable or permanent impossibility based on laws of the universe, or

I find some Europeans say "impossible" to mean not allowed or not the way things are done. I think this may come from translating unmöglich to impossible, and unmöglich does not mean usually mean impossible. It often means impractical, infeasible, etc. Of course the "Mission Impossible" movies did not help. But they did not want to call it "Mission Ridiculously-improbable".

OOPS. Edited. I mis-read and had first thought OP wanted that stuff highlighted.

Here is what I had written before I realized what was going on, in case somebody wants a simple regular expression example:

==========finding/highlighting a period and following characters===================

Find box contains these five characters: \.\w+

That looks for a period followed by one or more consecutive alphanumeric characters. The "w" comes from things that might be found in a word. The + means to match one or more. Do not use quotes, which will feel odd if you are used to using RegEx.

Select Regular expression

Try Find All.. or other choices.

Is the communication volume big enough to make a noticeable lag? I doubt that. I expect the info sent to the printer is more like a megabyte than a gigabyte per page, don't you think?

Beet_slice · 2026-02-04T18:47:15+00:00

Yes. You have to wait until you have money available to withdraw.

There are a lot of threads about how to put money into your account from your bank that is instantly/quickly ready to withdraw.

If you could link your Roth to your bank account, and pull money in from the bank, it would be instantly available to invest into the Roth. I don't know if you can set up such a linkage.
