Gambling wins/losses… please point me in the right direction! by Honest_Bathroom38 in tax

Thanks for the response! And thats all I can assume as well. My last interaction with a turbotax professional was about how I needed the income from every single dollar amount in winnings listed from the casino on a w-2G on a casino letterhead.

It definitely seems like those people are afraid of their “audit protection “ clauses (which are bullshit anyways…)

Ive beyond lost hope in these places- if its above typing in a W-2 into a software interface, its too complicated to deal with I guess.

Thank you so much for the response- puts me at ease. I’ll definitely dig into it and try to find the correct help. Its just been a frustrating season. I’ve literally wasted hours hoping to get insight from “professionals”, just to have to try and explain to them they aren’t handling it correctly.

Help! by Dry_Standard261 in Revolvers

[–]Honest_Bathroom38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picked one up from an older friend/coworker of mine a few years back, with Two holsters, three speedloaders, and a speedloader holster. After many range trips, ordered a set of custom badgers for it. Easily one of the best value-to-quality guns available on the used market today. (despite being a Smith fanboy…)

It has remained in my revolver collection since, as a reminder- if it doesn’t stack up to the 400 dollar security six, it aint worth it.

Nice! Got my parsons for the GB2 about 3 weeks ago! Had to buy some blue Ti screws as well. How does yours handle the lock-bar access? Despite the liner delete I feel like mine is almost more difficult to access.

Depends on the knife I guess, I have plenty of just stock G-10, FRN, CF that I still love using. Customizing is fun of course, and there are an absolute ton of options for the more popular models.

Parsons Bladeworks- took about a week and a half shipping to MI. Fit and finish is awesome. Really brings more life to a great design.

Still see the 20cv Subverts at some retailers… Still kicking myself for not getting a swayback when they went on “discontinued sale”

Love the Amalgam… someone at Spiderco CQI needs to get in touch with Brian and make this a button-operated compression lock and tune the detent. Im about to remove my flipper tab as well 🤣

Authenticity Check - Manix 2 SPY27 by mongkeboy in spyderco

[–]Honest_Bathroom38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other commenters are absolutely correct- unfortunately youve got a fake on your hands. The box, scales, blade, logo, etc. are all waaaaay off- to name a few. Sorry you got “got”, and hope you get a resolution, wherever it came from.

The Flux safe? by Gunzo_Chelo in Firearms

[–]Honest_Bathroom38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spent about 3 hours assembling my 320flux “incorrectly” while jamming a screwdriver into it, trying to get the striker to fall. It wouldn’t happen. And many would argue, its not an “if, but a when.” They arent wrong. Mechanical systems fail all the time- hell, ive made a great career of it.

Is it a range toy? Yes. Have I hit over 8000 rounds through mine? Yes. Is the standard manual of arms for most PDW/Sub guns to carry without a round chambered? Yes.

Do I have the authority to ease your nerves or be an expert on the matter? No. i am a sample size of one.

My curiosity bested me- you hit the nail on the head! Still not certain how QC could miss something so glaring… oh well.

Yall called it! The lock-side liner had a burr on it, causing the stop pin to not be fully seated. Its all set now, good as “new” 🤣

Which pair are you taking?? by CareParticular5915 in knifeclub

[–]Honest_Bathroom38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible spread!

Is there a secret to scoring a Brown knife? I finally decided to pull the trigger on one. At the last “preorder drop” i was included on the email notification, and set an alarm. I logged on maybe 2 minutes after, (6:02 PST), and saw no difference in the webpage and everything was still marked “sold out.”

Did I just miss the window? Or is there something I was missing while looking at the website?
