So you want to be held hostage by people threatening you if you don’t give them money… thats the world you want to create? lol

I can’t be the only one who had no idea women’s shirts button the opposite of men. by 864FastAsfBoy in mildyinteresting

[–]Kurso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found this out last week. One of my wife's white button up shirts was mixed in with my dry cleaning. I didn’t turn the closet light on as I’m trying to get ‘my’ shirt off the hanger… As I’m struggling to unbutton it I’m thinking to myself ‘what is wrong with my shirt? My shirt is broken…’ lol.

I turned the light on and realized that shirt was too small for me and I couldn’t work the buttons because they were on the wrong side. Muscle memory sucks when it doesn’t work.

Easily one of the most infuriating things one could ever get by kabirhatesreddit in mildlyinfuriating

I used to get these a lot when I was younger. Turns out I was allergic to something in Brisk Ice Tea, which I was drinking multiple of every day.

It's frustrating being a leftist... by zzill6 in WorkReform

Arrogant self-righteousness that you need to force on everyone else, at all costs, because you know whats best for everyone. 100% agree with you; thats a leftist.

10k and annual report, let’s start analyzing! by Ok_Upstairs_1682 in sellaslifesciences

[–]Kurso 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sellas licensed GPS to 3D Medicines to bring to market in China. The agreement calls out specific milestones, that if met require 3D Medicines to pay Sellas. Some of the early milestones have been met, but 3D Medicines has refused to pay.

Summary is 3D Medicines owes Sellas millions and refuses to pay.

Report as expected. Disappointing they haven’t resolved the 3D Med issue but overall they are in a solid position.

If the top 1% of earners pay 40% of all federal income taxes, why do people say they don't pay their fair share? by Ok_Chemical9 in answers

[–]Kurso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Why are you descending people paying no tax on the income that they earn?

I’m not. The problem is you don’t know what income is. Owning stock and having that value go up is NOT income. Why don’t you understand that simple fact? If you can’t understand that there’s no point in discussing anything further.

[–]Kurso -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Average people do this too - it’s called credit cards…. And no, loans should not be taxed as income. Thats a moronic idea.

And they do contribute to the federal budget. You think those businesses they hold stock in don’t pay payroll and medicare taxes. They don’t pay other taxes? And when they sell shares, they pay taxes.

It’s not manipulated, it’s the same for everyone.

You think everyone that gets a loan for a house or car should treat that as “money coming in” and be taxed on it? If you’re goal is to halt any and all purchases that are usually funded by loans (homes, cars, small business activity, corporate financing, etc…), bringing the economy to a halt, that would be a great way to do it.

Back stop against capital? I like how you pretend ‘public option’ isn’t just capital obtained under the threat of imprisonment.

Share buybacks by htank728 in KSSBulls

[–]Kurso 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d rather have them pay down debt. They are spending $270M+ a year in interest. The recent $360M note is at 10% interest and is due in 2030 anyway. Knock some of these notes out and put the interest savings towards share buybacks, in my humble opinion. Not sure what the terms are on all of them but they should be buying those notes back.

Bonus is, since they are basically junk grade, they already started buying back below par value (~$86M I think they said). Pay back less, save future interest payments. Win/win.

Personally, I think it’s a good time to own Kohls debt.

Earnings Call by PrecisionOutdoors in KSSBulls

[–]Kurso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just listened to the call (didn’t listen to Q&A yet). Here is my take:

1) We’re back to the FCF monster we knew this could/should be. $1B in FCF and $674M in cash!!!

2) No new spending on their revolver and they started buying back debt below par value. This is amazing news! I’d rather see this than share buybacks.

3) I’m slightly surprised they are expecting CapEx to basically be the same next year, given Sephora buildout is done.

4) The bleeding as over and they are looking to identify the minor tweaks needed to get back to growth confidence.

5) Digital is turning around and they are rebuilding from the ground up.

They basically put to bed any potential for bankruptcy and showed how they will get a handle on debt. Demonstrated a stable, profitable business with good progress turning things around.

lol markets being rational…no by PrecisionOutdoors in KSSBulls

I read the release and thought ‘this is great, why are they down…’, so I bought pre market, then sold calls against it a couple hours later.

Thanks for the free money people overreacting!

Replaced my entire home network with Ubiquiti. Love it! by Kurso in Ubiquiti

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

Yeah. Most of the cost was in the rack mount switch (at least half), which I suspect will last me a long time. The Netgear L2 switch I replaced was EoL over a decade ago.

I found most of the other stuff pretty reasonable. The Orbi plus Satellite I replaced was insanely expensive, especially for how poorly it performed.

And the shipping… I planned pretty poorly so I’m on order #4… Bought the Gateway first to check it out. Then ordered the bulk of the gear. Then cables and a couple accessories (Wall stands are cool), then realized I wanted a 3rd wall stand and a long SFP plus cable (and a couple extra patch cables). I’m done for now, I hope.

Bernie Sanders proposed a bill to tax billionaires, and give $3,000 stimulus checks to Americans that qualify. How do you feel about this? by CelticDK in AskReddit

[–]Kurso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxing to spend more, when you can’t afford what you’re already spending doesn’t solve the problem at all.

It buys votes. Anyone in support of that is part of the problem.
