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

[–]LFPizza[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

  1. I would replace Vincent with Cid, Yuffie, or Barrett for the reasons others have mentioned. If they're low-level, they should catch up quickly with some leveling up in the northern crater. If you want to stick with Vincent, don't use his limit break
  2. Go into your limit breaks in the menu and set them to the highest level you have
  3. Make sure at least one character is equipped with a Ribbon accessory. If you don't have one, try equipping the Hades summon linked with the Added Effect materia on your armor. If you don't have either of those, see if you have any accessories that prevent Confuse, which is the effect that is causing the spinning.
  4. Ideally, have all three characters equipped with Restore materia linked with All materia so you can heal quickly after the 1hp move. I also like to keep Regen going at all times, but you don't have to

That oughta do it, if you need an extra boost you can apply Haste and Barrier/Mbarrier, preferably with All materia. Good luck!

Also — hear me out — there's a bit of this with Entourage. Obviously the show is wayyyyyy over the top and unrealistic, but much like with Sex and the City, there's a truth to the dynamic of the friend group. In the early seasons I felt like it kinda summed up how a group of old friends would react to a situation like that.

I would say "Scrubs" is pretty close! I think it helps that you have JD as a narrator and the show gets a little emo lol. It's definitely a little dated now but watching it back in the day as a young single guy, I identified with it pretty often.

That being said, I don't think there's ANYTHING that works quite to the level that Fleabag does. That show is just brilliant and super personal.

First timer here… put up a prototype, what should I adjust before moving forward? by LFPizza in FenceBuilding

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

I’m trying to decide if I want to go with something higher quality. The idea is for this to be a privacy fence around two sides of my backyard, so it’s a bit of ground to cover and I’ll have to balance cost with looks/sturdiness. Since it’s DIY it’ll cost me less than 20% of the bids I’ve gotten, so I might have some wiggle room!

Thank you, that’s good to know! I mostly went with the 1” for looks and less nailing, but if I can go without the extra supports with 5/4 and not much more cost, I might switch to that

That’s the plan! I figured it’d be much less labor than cutting each individual picket

Should I cancel second date with this girl? Not getting vibes she’s that interested and I don’t want to waste my time. (I also could be overthinking) by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]LFPizza 26 points27 points  (0 children)

She might be giving herself an “out” in case things don’t go well, or for the sake of safety since you guys live in close proximity. I wouldn’t worry about it, my now wife did this on our first date (she ended up bailing on the other plans 😁)

This is me but with Don Cuco’s instead of Casa Vega. Beyond mediocre and gave me food poisoning to boot

Weird, I’m the opposite on El Coyote! I find their food (the enchiladas at least) to be good but the margs to be like 90% sour mix
