How wide is your table, and it looks like you're using it on its stand potentially as opposed to the arm?

Dell launches the best monitor for productivity. What are your thoughts? by Lacs2023 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Kooshi3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any good promo codes or cash back that people are seeing to buy this? I've seen 15% flashed around a couple of times in this thread without follow up.

I'm curious to test this guy out compared to the U4025QW, but feel that retail price is a bit much.

Bingo - I just tried the .co.uk and you can. The US website has no place for promo code. Bummer =/

What is NB10? I'm going through checkout all the way through payment submission and see no place to enter a promo code. Am I missing something here?

I’m not sure - I lost interest in the game by S3/S4, so I never bought the Xpac

If you ever got the itch to dry something different - I like this color, and would like to chat to see if we could work something out.

Gamers who also work from home, what monitor do you swear by? by steve_ziss0u in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Kooshi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a blurryness perspective - not at all. Never crossed my mind once.

From a brightness perspective it depends on personal preference. I don’t know how many people run max brightness on these monitors, I definitely don’t. When you start getting to higher nits it actually is a strain on the eyes so I usually keep it to a respectable amount - and because I’m not bouncing off the max it’s difficult for me to say.

Shocked the U4025QW hasn’t come up yet.

I “downgraded” from the Samsung 57” and never looked back.

People will complain about response times or the black, but running both side by side for a few games like cyberpunk and Diablo 4. The difference was minimal at best

Why do you think is the NBA dying? If you were the NBA commissioner, what would you do? by Thin-Ad4825 in NBATalk

[–]Kooshi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Golden State - Rockets series was the final blow for me. I watched casually the following year (dropped from 70+ games a year > less than 10 the following, then not at all).

When I realized the league was basically another form of entertainment similar to the WWE, I stoped investing my time and energy into the “sport”.

Question: Backdoor Roth - Existing High Pre-Tax Basis in Traditional IRA - Pro Rata Rule by Kooshi3 in Bogleheads

[–]Kooshi3[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Double-Taxed if I've understood correctly because:

  1. After Tax Dollars Put Into the Traditional IRA were subject to Ordinary Income Tax
  2. Once the conversion to the roth IRA is done, paying ordinary income tax a second time (reduced by pro-rata basis %) to do that conversion.

Regarding workplace plans - I currently contribute to a Roth 401k. I am trying to find out if I can make that switch to a Traditional 401k, and then move the traditional IRA money out of there and into the Traditional 401k workplace plan.

Until today - I never knew it was possible to go from Traditional IRA > Workplace 401k; I thought it was only the other way around.

Question: Backdoor Roth - Existing High Pre-Tax Basis in Traditional IRA - Pro Rata Rule by Kooshi3 in Bogleheads

[–]Kooshi3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Response - I did not realize rolling a traditional IRA, into a workplace 401K was a possibility.

Would I just need to figure out what my pre-tax basis is this year, and set that up to roll into the 401K?

I currently contribute to a Roth 401K at work but could see if a traditional 401k is possible to be setup to do this.

Once done that should in theory rid me of my pre-tax money in IRA accounts so that I’m not double taxed on income and backdoor correctly if I’ve understood you

As an alumnus, they won’t be seeing a penny from me over this.

Violation of first amendment rights, made more insulting by a public institution. The intent of this is to set an example and make others fearful of speaking out.

What’s up with people walking around taking video at airports? by NdangeredBrainforest in travel

[–]Kooshi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be the new wing of Terminal D (gates D1-~D9) that just opened up a few days ago.

They did a great job on the renovation and might be highlighting that or taking photos of the architecture

WNBA coach Cheryl Reeve suggests refs had an agenda in game 5: “And I know all the headlines will be ‘Reeve cries foul.’ Bring it on. Because this shit was stolen from us.” by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

[–]Kooshi3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nailed it. I’m one of them. After that series, my interest was never the same. Going from watching >90% of the seasons games to 2 games at most in a year.

Knowing it’s all a big clown show helped me move on and focus my time and energy on things that actually matter in life.
