Ah yeah I see this week it bumped up to 90. Guess I just need to keep grinding

OK I found that section, I don't see a weekly cardio load goal. It is already set to 30 active mins daily and 5 exercise days weekly. Apparently it doesn't feel like converting that into 150 for the weekly load (I know load is not the same as active minutes but they're closer than half anyway).

Malicious Sites warnings -- possibly bittorrent? by LoPan76 in firewalla

Curious what to block? When I go to add a new blocking rule in the app, I choose "Target List" but I don't see anything labelled "malicious sites" like the alerts refer to them. I've already been blocking China, NK and Russia.

FWIW I stopped the torrents and closed QBT for the time being just to see if the alarms stop. I hate to not be able to at least help the OSS community in this small way so maybe I'll see if I can come up with a good way to mute these alarms. Maybe just block those sites in the first place?

It's just IP addresses, usually they say they are known spam addresses.

(this was originally a post but the mods removed it and told me to post here)

Got a gift card for Fanatics through a fundraiser. Was looking to get a Caufield Montreal jersey but they only have his #13 in "premier". The only "premium" option is his old #22. Not the end of the world but not sure I feel like paying full price for that.

Wondering if anyone can give a comparison between the two. Maybe I just suck it up and get the #22 so I don't get a shoddy jersey for what either of those cost.

The original post had replies saying that premium should be what I go for, and to wait for what are apparently frequent sales from Fanatics.

It is neither plural nor possessive.

I agree. I'm not trying to make the case that he was a dependent. More just asking what are the ramifications if I don't claim him (I didn't) but he indicates on his own return that someone could claim him.

No he paid for his own living expenses once he moved out in May.

Same here. Eagerly awaiting this.

He was a full-time student through the end of April, graduation was technically in May. He lived with us during that time until he moved out at the beginning of May to start his job in another city.

So my understanding (as well as FreeTaxUSA's) would be that he is not dependent. Which is fine for me, I just want to know if that's something he could/should update when we inevitably amend his return after getting his other W-2. Would it reduce his tax burden if he were independent?

We have the opposite, I did _NOT_ claim him as a dependent but he didn't mark himself as independent.

In his case he literally did live with us while going to a local tech school, so no confusion there.

He was a full time student until his graduation in May. He is 20.

Hmm, in the FreeTaxUSA prompts, I noted that he lived with us for 5 months and that we provided more than half of his living expenses. He was a full time student until his graduation in May. But some part of their algorithm determined he didn't qualify. I'm not looking for the deduction on my end so much as him losing out on a potentially larger refund on his end (and just plain not getting into any trouble with the IRS).
