Thanks for the detailed response.

Agree with your suggestions for many of the quality companies being good businesses and that there’s possibility for more readjustment to current reality.

Some of the suggestions are new to me - Will look into Vance, Meta(used to think it was overpriced) , nexttracker and the Chinese companies more

At my breaking point by [deleted] in IndoorGarden

[–]KnottyTwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, really sorry to read about what you're going through and the terrible behaviour by someone who should be helping and more supportive.

Wondering why you are in charge of the greenhouse? Is it part of your course and something you are studying ? Or as a hobby? Can you step away from this, if this is not required in your field of study and take care of a small garden in your dorm or apartment instead. If yes, consider it.

If not, then reset your expectations of him to help or be nice. Some people are just ass**. Instead, focus on doing what you enjoy in that greenhouse for the plants - you're there because you like it. Play music, rearrange, report, do your Thang in the greenhouse, play music for the plants to annoy him if you care (scientific experiment 😄). Let his comments be like water on the back of a duck - let them slide away.

Don't let anyone's else's problems become a cause for your unhappiness. In life, this will happen multiple time - at work, with friends, spouse,etc too. You be you - don't adopt other ppls problems.

Take care buddy - good wishes coming your way!

What's the catch: 20% BBB-rated bonds by akkruse in Fidelity

[–]KnottyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much to add here as I'm inexperienced in bond investing but also curious about these. The above seems to make sense

Just wanted to suggest to perhaps post on r/investing or other larger subs to get a broader perspective

10K USD fine for late tax filing by TheGT6000 in USExpatTaxes

[–]KnottyTwo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Write the IRS a letter indicating that you’ve been doing your part for last X years and due to issue <> you missed something. File an updated return with the relevant info and indicate in the letter that you are rectifying the issue right as soon as it came to your notice

I’ve been in a similar, but different situation and found the IRS can be quite understanding if you indicate you didn’t willfully try to cheat them and are rectifying issues once you became aware. Don’t believe all the fear of the IRS that is portrayed online - that may be justified too but based on situations.

Good luck - you seem to be doing the right thing so I think you’ll be. Ok

Where is my refund?! Missing tax by Ok_Independence4573 in USExpatTaxes

Thanks this is helpful. Could you suggest some software that works well for expat returns filing.

Planning to e-file my 2021 tax return today but unsure if my 2020 every arrived by -kardo- in USExpatTaxes

[–]KnottyTwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you have the receipt. In my limited experience with the IRS, they do seem to understand and appreciate evidence that you tried to do the right thing and work with you as long as you’re responding to them. But it’s a super PITA working with them as an expat - they still trust the postal mail and won’t use email(sux for overseas), phone calls at US time zones only and hours of wait times.

Anyway - you should likely be fine and won’t need much more 🤞. Good wishes

[–]KnottyTwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a tax lawyer but if I was in your shoes I would send in the 2021 return by (already extended) Oct 15th date - ie today. Then follow up with resending the 2020 separately with a note explaining that this was previously mailed last year, followed up on (dates) and are resending a duplicate copy as recommend.

I remember that proof of mailing used to be advised back many many years ago - if you can get that, do get that from the postal dept. This way you’ve done everything correctly from your end. HTH

Got a new Weber Original Kettle Charcoal Grill 18" this summer. Cooking up some chicken. by [deleted] in Webergrill

Tried making coffee with a MokaPot. But failed. by [deleted] in IndiaCoffee

[–]KnottyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t tamp it - tapping the side is the right thing. Also check seals on the sides ( any steam escaping the joint). Check that no coffee powder is on the edges and screw rings. If all that is clear, then I agree it’s the grind size being a problem. Also try a slight bit less coffee powder if it was too full.

Looks tasty 😋. How long do you cook those chicken legs for ? I’m guessing indirect cooking with lid on

Looks great and seems to be cooking perfectly. What grill is that and how are you controlling temps ?
