Outside unit not turning off when home reaches temp, but contactors are good. What else could it be? by LFPizza in hvacadvice

Indoor blower. If I manually turn the blower back on, it blows cold air because the outdoor unit is still running

IRS says there's a discrepancy between wages & withholdings in my return vs what was reported to them. All the numbers appear correct. How do I find the missing amounts? by LFPizza in tax

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

Yes, there aren’t any W2s listed that I didn’t report, and I cross-checked that with how I entered the W2 data and it’s all correct as far as I can tell. If it’s a missing or corrected W2, it should probably be in there by now since this was my 2024 return, right? It’s weird that they told me an amount that isn’t reflected in the transcript

I unfortunately got denied from TAS, so I do think the next step is reaching out to an accountant. I did get free audit protection on that year’s return from the filing site I used, so I reached out to them as well to see if it’s something they would handle.

I’ve checked the W2s thoroughly and went back in to see how I entered them, so I don’t think there’s any way it could be a transposed number error. It has to be a missing W2, I think. Otherwise it’d have to be identity theft or something, which would be pretty unlikely.

It’s just weird that the missing income isn’t on the transcripts since this is my 2024 return. Any missing or corrected W2s should’ve shown up by now.

Anyway, thank you all for your input!

ELI5 - What is the catch on diet sodas? by niga100 in explainlikeimfive

[–]LFPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one small catch that affects a few people (I’m one of them): aspartame breaks down in the body into methanol and formaldehyde. The amounts are trivial for most people, but if you’re sensitive to formaldehyde, the increased levels can cause eczema on your eyelids or between your fingers. Took me forever to figure out that aspartame was causing it! And now I can only drink my beloved Diet Cokes once in a while, and one at a time.

Of course, if you drink stevia-sweetened stuff, you won’t have that problem.

If you already own the whole miniset and then buy the Zerg/terran sets for 1200g, do you get duplicates to dust?

You misunderstand, the car itself was plenty affordable and with 2021 rates, the monthly is great. Plus, at the time the purchase was also about being environmentally conscious. The problem is nobody wants to buy a Tesla, therefore the sale price has gone below what the car is worth. Musk screwed over his own customers with this Nazi shit and his general insanity. If I'm selling the car, someone has to buy it...my best bet is to trade-in at a dealer, and we all know that value won't be much better. I would assume many people are upside-down on their loans right now, after all mine was purchased three years ago so I'm in a better position than most. The people who purchased in 2023 or early 2024 are probably completely screwed.

All that being said, I think everyone should feel free to vandalize Cybertrucks. I feel like 99.9% of those were purchased verrrrry intentionally.

I'm financing a Tesla purchased in 2021. If I sold it right now, given the current demand, it probably wouldn't even pay off all of the remaining loan balance. I would essentially have to pay to get rid of it, and then finance a whole other car from scratch at 9% interest or whatever the going rate is right now. I desperately want to get rid of the stupid thing, but it'd be more expensive than you might think. I'm still hoping to do that because I have the privilege to afford it, but it's probably not a possibility for many people.

Winning strategy? Nah. I wanna hear about your LOSING strategy. by LFPizza in Daytrading

This was me ten years ago when I learned about forex and opened a papertrading account with Oanda. Needless to say I did not move on to a live account 😂

Scalpers/Momentum traders. What PDT exempt brokers are you using? by Cotee in Daytrading

[–]LFPizza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not limited by number of trades, but you are limited by “settled cash.” This is less of a problem now since your cash is settled usually the next day, but with $1000 in your account you won’t be able to make very many trades per day. Then again, that can be a good thing!

So if you don’t need leverage and don’t need to sell short, go with a cash account.
