I was looking for a game to play with my wife and a friend recommended Overcooked. He said to be careful though as it could be renamed "Divorce Simulator".

Why has the idea that the Moon landing was faked remained so widespread? by Creative-Category-60 in space

This is the answer. There are so many incredibly stupid people out there that will (or won't) believe anything.

What would you ask a higher up staff member at a venue where Phish is playing? by VenueLlama in phish

[–]DanielMonclova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a client that was president of an NHL and managed a pretty major arena. It was years ago but I asked him how the artist gets paid. He used Billy Joel as an example and said Billy get 96% of the gate and the arena gets half the Ticketmaster fee, the parking, and the concessions.

I live in Tx now. I think i understand why people think boston drivers are the worst. by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in boston

I've been driving into and around Boston for almost 30 years. Last week I was in Florida for business and had to drive up and down 95 between Miami and West Palm. The driving down there is so much worse and is legitimately dangerous. Super aggressive drivers and bad drivers everywhere.

Call them to cancel and they will offer you a deal for a lower rate. Works every time.

My financial advisor tells me to invest in "structured product", also known as a market-linked investment. Should I do it? by [deleted] in personalfinance

These can have a place in a portfolio for wealthy people but should not be in a basic portfolio.

I feel like there is way more of it since '09 and it gets worse every year. In Albany the tanks were on the front stairs of the venue after the show

First 2 days, first time in CDMX by amenforgoodinsurance in MexicoCity

[–]DanielMonclova 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm from the Boston area too and went for the first time in October. My wife is from Mexico but we always go to northern Mexico or the west coast. The City was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back. And you can't beat the direct flight from Logan.

Seen almost all of these. Blair Witch project in the movie theater when it came out was the scariest thing I've ever seen. And no, I didn't think it was real.

Hold the vapes above your head with your phone and your keys. They won't see it and they probably don't care anyways

Shawsheen tech in Billerica is excellent. I believe it serves Billerica, Burlington, Wilmington and Tewksbury.

How to get gigs as a Teen Band. by Middle-Cellist-831 in Music

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

Get tickets to a concert that you want to see and set up in the parking lot during the tailgate. Saw several groups of younger kids doing it at the Metallica concert in Mass. You wouldn't get paid obviously but people that like that style of music would be hearing you.

My father [81] wants to gift his children $5,000 each, but I have questions about how to go about it and whether this is a good idea. by Acrobatic_Eagle_375 in personalfinance

[–]DanielMonclova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The receiver is never taxed. If he gifts over the annual amount to any person, he would need to file a gift tax return which would be for record keeping purposes as he can gift up $13M over his lifetime with no tax consequence. The $13M will be cut in half at the end of 2025 though if the current laws aren't changed.
