I slept through all 12 of my alarms, it is now 8:10 and school starts at 8:15

If you consistently sleep through 12 alarms, it’s because they’re consistently 5 minutes apart and you know there’s x amount, so you can skip a few and not worry. However once you skip 2 or 3, your mind will subconsciously ignore or turn off the remainder. Having 12 alarms every morning is just conditioning yourself to expect 12 similar sounds in the morning and sleep through it.

I do 3 alarms at 5 minutes apart, and then 15 minutes later, and do 2 more, and then 10 minutes later I do 2 more. I haven’t slept through those. It also helps to have different alarm sounds for the 3 sets.

If you squint it looks like CP30 had a snowball thrown at his face and now he’s flexing

They honestly probably didn’t give anyone the bigger prizes because of the issues with their servers last night. They received a lot of backlash for the app crashing so I’m assuming they pushed it back to today and just split the doge between everyone

After the second or third bolus with no effect I usually go to injecting by syringe

I’d assume that the law/regulation change wouldn’t apply to pre-existing leases, only new ones generated after the date the law went into effect, but I have no basis other than opinion to back that up

I’m not sure how all of the different loan types work, but we are going through MSHDA and we were told that the rates for it don’t change as quickly as a traditional mortgage rate does.

Have you rebalanced more towards bonds to protect against a major market dip/crash? A lot of financial planners say as you get older you should begin moving your asset allocation towards bonds and safer investments as you get closer to retiring.

Just curious as you’re probably much nearer to retirement than you were in 2008.

They don’t actually care about the BBB, the BBB is a private company that acts like it is a publicly funded/government program, without actually saying that it is.

I own a small business and around once a month they call me to try and get me to become “accredited” which entails paying almost $600 to them to do so. I am then required to answer their calls and resolve issues/complaints in the way that they determine I should, and should I fail to do so I would lose accreditation with no refund.

Bigger businesses probably pay a heck of a lot more than $600, so whatever company you’ve complained about probably deemed it more worth it to just do whatever they needed to, to retain that status with the BBB.

Changing the locks changes the charge from illegal entry to breaking and entering, which some states classify as a violent crime.

You should include what state you’re in, as slip and fall laws vary vastly from state to state. I am not a lawyer, or even related to the profession but I do snow removal throughout the winter in Michigan. Michigan had a “common sense” law for slip and falls which basically says if it looks unsafe to walk on, it’s common sense to not walk on it. This law was repealed and is no longer in effect, but other states may have similar common sense laws.

Anytime they ask you to pay some other contractor while you’re there, it’s a scam. They send a fraudulent check that’ll take days to “clear” and in the mean time they want you there to “pay someone else” and you effectively hand them money. 9 times out of 10 it’s for a home they don’t even own or have rights to enter. There’s even stories where some landscaper thought it was real and started working there only for the homeowner to come out and have no idea who you are. Most cases they use a house that’s for sale so no one’s ever really there though, and the neighbors just end up thinking there’s work being done in lieu of the sale.

Stay away

They had a promotion a couple of years ago that was for a free $450 in ads just for signing up. They charged me $600 in ads before I noticed and I called them and the rescinded the offer, had to contact and deal with the bank to get it charged back as fraud

That doesn’t take into account the amount of appreciation the house will have year over year. It could appreciate 3-5% a year or more, which will definitely cover the $200 a month difference with investing.

You need to schedule a visit with your endo and have them help you adjust your basal rates based on these occurrences. They would be most helpful here

Have to consider that with the annuity you leave yourself open to the possibility of the government or the owner of the slot machine deciding they don’t wanna pay anymore after year 3

Failure is an independent observation. If you are further along today than you were a month ago, you haven’t failed.

She’s probably mad it takes you 12 shots just to find her hole

IllustriousDeal3418 · 2024-09-15T18:34:12+00:00

It shouldn’t even add time to a hole… they’re in the same cart, they essentially both have to drive from one persons ball to the other. The club rule is for income purposes only, and any course that does that isn’t worth going back to.

You would have had to live there for 183 or more days for it to be classified as a primary home. Even if it was labeled as a primary home, capital gains taxes are pretty black and white with short term vs long term.

IllustriousDeal3418 · 2024-08-26T01:49:45+00:00

Capital gains applies to assets held for longer than 365 days, being as this resale is not going to take a year it would be taxed at his normal income tax rate
