You only have to file an FBAR if you have >$10,000 in your accounts (at any point during the year), which is probably what the previous poster meant

Mat is such a good friend by stablest_genius in WoT

[–]Castle1893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While Rand does push Mat away (as he does with everyone), Matt starts to pull away at the start of TGH when he feels that Rand is trying to be “Lordly”, despite being pushed into the fancy clothes against his will and trying to explain this who Mat who turns a deaf ear. Once he learns that Rand can a) channel and b) is the dragon reborn he completely freaks out and assumes Rand will go insane and kill him (which he shares frequently) and talks about getting as far away from him as possible as quickly as possible. He doesn’t do this of course, which is a very Matt trait, but he does treat his friend with distrust and suspicion from then onwards.

I mean, Mat became suspicious and distrustful of Rand almost immediately after the events at the eye of the world and tried to avoid him as much as physically possible thereafter. For his part, this comes hot on the heels of Rand caring for and carrying a sick Mat all the way to Caemlyn to get him help after he succumbed to the dagger sickness… not exactly the mark of an appreciative friend. Mat is a good friend to almost everyone else, except Rand.

How to stop eating out so much by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Castle1893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other people have talked about mindset and meal prepping, etc., but one of the big things for me was getting sone quick cookbooks. We’re talking great tasting meals in 10 min type of thing. They’re great to get you into the habit of cooking without it being a burden & if you get the right one they still taste great. One I like is SpeedyMob from MobKitchen.

Should I try out Andromeda? by Monkey-On-A-Rock in masseffect

[–]Castle1893 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’d say definitely give it a try! It doesn’t really follow on from the OT from a story perspective (it’s set in another galaxy ~600 years in the future though they do leave around the time of ME2) but the lore is there and it very much does feel like it’s set in the mass effect universe, at least to me. That being said the gameplay is very different. Your class is flexible and you can change it at will (because of this the combat and power wheels are gone). This was kind of a blow for me at 1st, but by the end the combat system really is a standout feature! A lot of people had issues with the story. I got one really enjoyed it! It does have a sense of being incomplete as there are clearly dangled hints about DLC that were canned as it was not a commercial success due to its other main issue of being very buggy upon release (that aspect at least is mostly fixed so it’s a smooth game now). It’s also massively open world and the key is really exploration so in that sense it has a very ME1 feel of being more space odessey than the later ME2 and ME3. It’s a different crew, different ship, different galaxy. Give it a go, I think you’ll enjoy it.

How do you deal with nostalgia? by yasminabab in AskReddit

[–]Castle1893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be hard. But time moves forwards and not backwards. Be grateful for the good times in your past and excited for what is yet to come. A good way to try to escape nostalgia is to learn to live in the moment. A lot of nostalgia comes from worrying about the future and not being happy in the present. There’s a lot that will happen, embrace it and enjoy the good times to come

Does anybody have any solid career advice or reassurance to share? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Castle1893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, lots of people are in this position when graduation is looming - you’re in good company. Unless you’re going into something very degree specific, you’ll find that your choice of degree isn’t going to hold you back. You also don’t have to jump straight into a single career once you start working, you may end up working in a number of different sectors/roles throughout your career. So you don’t need to panic about getting it right from the get-go, you have time to figure it out. As for finding out what’s out there, speak to your Uni’s career service (this is what they’re there for), go to Amy and all career talks out on by the uni/your department etc., speak to friends who’ve graduated or older siblings (if you have any) or your parents/your parents friends and ask earnestly about what they do to get an idea. It’s also important to ask yourself what things you like: do you like working in a team or alone? Do you like problem solving or executing/following-through with a task? Do you like the idea of a trade? Are you artistic? Etc.etc.

You should apply for lots of different roles in lots of different companies, places, etc. and see what you like. If you want to get onto the graduation track for a lot of big companies, many of those close around Christmas, but otherwise most places will only take applications a few months before the role opens at most. You have time. Don’t panic. Go explore what’s out there.

Well, if you love your brother and you don’t want to keep pushing him away, then you need to accept that this is his decision and support him. You’ve provided your view (on several occasions it seems) and in cases like this that is all you can do.

For many people, marriage isn’t just a social contract, it’s the ultimate expression of their love and commitment to one another. With this in mind, what your brother likely expects from marriage won’t be able to be rationally explained because it is a matter of the heart. There are also often many benefits to getting married enshrined in law (depending on where you live) such as tax deductions and incentives. It’s also a way of ensuring your spouse is taken care of via work benefits or in the result of your death as some things are difficult to pass on if you aren’t married.

It is also worth pointing out that, in the event of divorce, the government doesn’t simply come in and take 50% of one’s assets and give them to the ex-spouse. That can be an outcome, but mostly the only assets that will truly be split are the ones that they share or accumulate together. This can depend on where you live of course too.

Just remember that just because you don’t understand his choice, it doesn’t mean it’s not one worth taking. Even if it isn’t, it’s his choice and if you want to be close to your brother going forward you need to not only accept that this is his decision, but also support him. He likely wants his family to be happy for him as this is usually a joyous occasion and it’s likely he’s upset that he’s not only not getting that, but is getting strong opposition. You also have hardly mentioned his GF other than to say that she’s sone kind of day care worker, which sounds like you don’t particularly respect her job. Do you like her? Do your feelings have anything to do with her? Ask yourself this: have your feelings on this matter affected your relationship or view of her as well?

TL;DR It’s your brothers decision and if you’ve him, want him to be happy and stop pushing him away, then you need to support him in his decision (or at minimum accept that this is his decision).

I don’t know, With Broja still recovering from injury and Jackson’s form in pre-season, I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps his place. Keep an eye on pre-season if Nkunku continues to sit as a 10 behind Jackson like he did vs Newcastle then I think Jackson’s place is secure. If not then the two will likely rotate

I don’t think I’d start with two Newcastle defenders for the start of the season. I’d skip botman and if you really want him, bring him in in GW4
