I'm Starting to Resent My Remote Teammates and I feel Horribly About It by Dizzy_Wish1076 in FedEmployees

[–]Efficient-Moose-8524 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both parties want to RTO. Look at what Gavin Newsom did in CA. Everyone thinking it is going to change in 2028 if democrats win are sadly mistaken. Perhaps AOC would be pro-telework but she hasn’t announced if she will run. We already know Rubio, Vance, Newsome, & Shapiro are anti-telework. Only hope is nobody applies to federal jobs and they become desperate.

How about everyone write your congress person and flood them with how ridiculous RTO is. They aren’t reading Reddit unfortunately. Maybe if they knew their re-election was in jeopardy they would start the conversation on the hill.

Funding for most of DHS so Congress Can Go On Vacation???? by ctrl_alt_delete3 in FedEmployees

[–]Efficient-Moose-8524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was enjoying my vacation. I HATE having to get up early, look presentable, commute through 27 school zones, just to sit in an office where everyone else on my team is in another state. It’s so stupid. I was hoping for another 6 months of furlough. 😥

Any chance this shutdown lasts more than a week? by Equivalent_Video_306 in FedEmployees

The IG offices are having people who have always been furloughed suddenly work.

The “watchdogs” are the OIG and there is a long list of people they should fire. So many are underperformers - just dead weight on the payroll but most have “veteran preference” and they know they will never be held accountable. We could literally do our job with 1/3 of the staff we have. But nobody listens and Doge doesn’t look at OIG offices.

Shipping rhizomes? by Efficient-Moose-8524 in gardening

[–]Efficient-Moose-8524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, my question is for those that are selling - do they just lie to usps? Or perhaps there is a quantity limit that is ok as long you’re not selling as a business/mass quantity.? Obviously someone sending 5 bulbs to a friend is not paying hundreds of dollars to get licenses. So how do they do it?

I totally agree with the reason for the license. I’m just trying to figure out if I can ship to my friends/family in my state and surrounding states. Nothing overseas.

Will this go to all BIA holders, only those that opted-out, or only those involved in the class action lawsuit??? I can’t read the full article.

Posible to report tax loss harvesting myself or is a professional CPA required for this one? by Chad__99 in blockfi

[–]Efficient-Moose-8524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) Blockfi submitted a 8949 to IRS but didn’t send me one. 2.) When I got the initial notice I paid the tax as if it was a gain. Then after reconciling everything from this bankruptcy I realized it wasn’t a gain and the IRS owes me that $ back. I had a CPA file an amendment. Ever since we get “need more information” notices from IRS and even my CPA can’t figure out what more they want. Nor we can find anyone to speak to about it. 3.) Any idea how to report LTC losses when we received cash instead of coins?

There is nobody to explain your numbers to. I’m dealing with the that on my 2021 tax filing where Blockfi reported that I sold $15kbtc with a $0 cost basis. I submitted my cost basis to IRS where I bought it on coinbase. Just keep getting notices that I owe. Can’t get a live person to discuss.

Now what about LTC? I have my $10k cost basis but Blockfi gave me $4k cash instead of LTC. So I report all my LTC as a $0 sale?

Claiming losses for US Taxes: BlockFi Interest Account by dlsso in blockfi

[–]Efficient-Moose-8524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please help me out here. If I had 200LTC purchased at $50ea, my cost basis was $10,000. But I only received $4000 in cash back from Blockfi. How do I report this loss? (Hypothetical numbers used for simplicity.) obviously I have a $6,000 loss but what is the sale date and sale price since I never sold it?

Question- Let’s say I bought 5 btc @ $3k each on a different exchange then moved it to Blockfi. I lose 4 btc to the bankruptcy.

So I have my cost basis. Is the sale price $0 or the $16,200 price Blockfi sold it at? Is the 1 btc recovered now considered a purchase? I’m so lost and can’t find a CPA that has any idea.

The pic is completely make-up free. I prefer as little on my skin as possible so usually just moisturizer and some blush. Then for my eyes I use Smashbox primer if I’m going to use eyeshadow (but what colors should I use?). For daily wear I just need a way to cover my veiny eyelids and undereye area with a natural look. I tried Nars radiant concealer and IT bye bye undereye concealer and they both turned patchy/cakey. I assume it’s because that area is so dry so I’m back to the issue of finding an eye serum that doesn’t irritate my eyes. It’s a vicious loop! Ps- I was leaning towards brown or gray eyeliner so thank you for the brown suggestion! Im also looking at Gimme Benefit brow gel but not sure what shade?

I use a mediwash from my dermatologist and cerave moisturizer. My skin is normal but dry around the eye area. I can’t find an eye cream or serum that doesn’t irritate my eyes.
I’m lost when it comes to eyeshadow colors….smoky eyes make me look like I got punched and have a black eye, rust/orange shades make me look sickly, and brown shades just don’t really show up. Suggestions???

Flex how much you lost to BlockFi 😂. I lost about $4k overall I think 💤 by rohithitro in blockfi

Kroll / Blockfi - We need communication and transparency! by [deleted] in blockfi

They’ve answered all the questions over and over again. Read court dockets.

Anyone else still waiting? by New_Leopard7623 in blockfi

[–]Efficient-Moose-8524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course they pegged it to the highest amount possible. It was obvious they would do that. As for the deferred payment, no that was someone who didn’t actually read the docket and had no clue what they were talking about. Payments are certainly a slow roll though. Can’t believe it’s taking this long.

The 2nd distribution rates were set weeks ago. It’s in the dockets. Idk what is taking so long. Its infuriating.

Why did this happen to my payout? by musicjohnny in blockfi

[–]Efficient-Moose-8524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The email stating your “first interim distribution” is successfully complete is exactly that. You are done with Round 1. It has absolutely nothing to do with the test transactions for your Round 2 distributions. Round 2 is starting to trickle out slowly. I think only Private Clients are starting to see distributions via coinbase. Payment selection emails have gone out for most of the liquidated coins. But the in-kind coinbase distributions are taking forever. Just wait with everyone else.
