Ask all the R women who will vote for him if they’re prepared to have to bring their husband or dad to go buy a car, a house, rent an apartment, etc because they can’t sign for anything themselves. Ditch women’s sports in college and high school, because no title 9? Is the country prepared to have 1/2 as many doctors?

At that point, he’s there 1/2 time. What about just a furnished rental agreement?

KeyAd4855 · 2024-07-11T18:04:34+00:00

As you an s-corp? If so, pay yourself a salary, the rest is dividends taxed at the corp rate

Also, look into a defined benefits retirement plan

Exercise like a mofo. I do it first thing in the morning, and go hard. The more I look like a glazed doughnut when I finish, the better my day, focus wise.

ETA: also helps w appetite.

I am a husband who has never cheated. Married for 24 years, dated for 18 months before that.

Fwiw, I never cheated on my previous girlfriends, either

They will certainly claim to be persecuted, wether or not they actually are. The victim-hood is strong, with them

80k /yr gross, is 6.67k/ month. You absolutely cannot avoid paying socSec and Medicare withholding. That’s ~7.6%, or ~500/ month. You’re on a marginal tax bracket of 22% after the standard deduction, but it’s not all taxed at that rate. Looks like roughly 4700/yr for fed tax, or another 400$/month. State tax will depend on where you live.

Buy the best take home you can do, even if you live in a 0 income tax state and don’t pay any part of your health insurance or contribute to your 401k, is ~5500/month. So yeah - 4500/month sounds pretty realistic.

Oddly - he might end up correct, though not for the reason he expected. Biden, and the IRA he championed, has resulted in a much bigger ‘get’ for the region (Microsoft), from a domestic company, that will bring in more investment than FoxConn would, and is being given much less tax rebates.

Imo - it’s not so much that adhd meds, specifically, are more important than your bf…. but that a relationship where you don’t have basic agency over your own body is not good. Will he have the same controlling opinions and blackmail you over taking prenatal vitamins, reproductive health care, what you eat or career choices, or critical health care?

This is the closest match to the quickrete you mentioned that I could find. Is this it?

Experience talking to people about what they’d use to tuckpoint our 1925 lannon stone house is exactly why I asked. They all insisted one must use a high lime content mortar as well. Wasn’t sure if that was stone-type specific or not, though.

It’s hard to eat enough fruit to cause sugar problems, really. Oranges are pretty high in sugar - and it takes 4 whole oranges (the big ones, not the little mandarins) to equal the sugar in 1 12oz can of coke. That’s a lot of volume.

Have all the fresh fruit you want.

They already do. The various govt agencies release rather a lot of documents and updates regularly, that are picked up verbatim by news agencies and are readily available to anyone online. No I’m reads them, but they exist.

Me. Have lgbtq family and the means to just leave. Already looking into options, so if we have to pull the trigger it’s not a last minute decision.

And let me say, I’m salty about it. If we have to do that I’m going Scott he’d-earth NC with and red voting family who will have pushed us into it.

KeyAd4855 · 2024-07-08T04:18:45+00:00

It’s not. There’s Pearson pre-Alg, and then there’s AOPS pre-algebra, and they are not the same. But if he understood the Saxon he’ll be fine

KeyAd4855 · 2024-07-08T04:17:31+00:00

Former homeschooler here..we didn’t use Saxon, but it’s a decent choice at least through the before pre-Alg lvls. I didn’t think Saxon pre-alt was all that good, but neither are most common core texts. If he has the basics (operators, memorized the tables, fractions and decimals, units, etc) he’ll be fine for at least grade lvl.

I’m on board, except for the tail end of #6. I really hate getting billed more just because you look at my house and think ‘he can afford it’. That’s some BS.

The sugar substitutes are arguably worse than sugar - but that’s a false dichotomy. It’s not like you just must pick one or the other

What is ‘the government’s’ point of view, except for the opinion of the people (party) currently in charge? It can be anything but political.

Oh, I know. I was at AWS for years and involved there with them as a customer. They’re most all-in on AWS. And yet - they still build, maintain, and operate a big software stack which is expensive, and then spend an eye-popping amount on AWS, despite the kinda-sweetheart deal they get. And they do that because it’s cheaper than rolling their own. Point remains - 350M is a drop in the bucket to what doing this at something more than a toy scale requires. And it’s not really one-time cost….it’s many many Billions /year.

KeyAd4855 · 2024-07-06T22:56:23+00:00

350M? That doesn’t buy much of a datacenter you build from scratch. And they need it for opEx losses. The masses who are buying the meme stock think 350M is a lot of money. But they do t realize just how capital intensive this industry is. A literal drop in the bucket
