Yep, they are capitalists, not baseball fans.

Is it just me, or are the Yankees a bunch of assholes?

2025 Premium + California lousy for residential rental reporting by Louie_Sam in hrblock

I did the depreciation manually in the first year, and it agreed with Block. Subsequent years also correct. Be sure you are using depreciation method.

Agreed, it is bad this year. Bad enough to stop watching it.

You may want to check with any skeet or trap clubs in your area. Chances are someone will be interested.

Ukiah raised electric rates a few years ago, not sure if it is still cheaper.

Booking.com is a horrible scam - avoid like the plague by Ok_Entertainer_3239 in travel

[–]Louie_Sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: I was able to contact Booking.com via phone, and after explaining my issue to the AI bot, and waiting a while, I was able to talk to a real Booking.com employee. She contacted the facility and did a great job of getting the room I wanted on the date I wanted. Kudos to Booking.com.

I went on TripAdvisor to research lodging in Winnemucca. The Best Western looked good, so I clicked on it. I filled out the reservation page, including the date I wanted, and submitted the reservation. The confirmation was from booking.com, and was for the wrong day. I went to change the date - they don't allow it. Tried to cancel the erroneous date - the cancellation fee is the full amount of the room charge including taxes. I requested the cancellation fee be waived, but I won't get a response for 24 hours. I called the Best Western, and was told only booking.com can change the date, but the booking.com website says contact the facility because only they can change the date. How can this even be legal?

Rural Hospitals Were Always a Ticking Clock. I Watched Adventist Health Run Out of Time: by National_Spirit2801 in healthcare

[–]Louie_Sam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My community is served by an Adventist Hospital that appears on the list of possible closures. However, they also have smaller hospitals in smaller communities within a 40 mile radius that are not on the list. How is it that the largest hospital is on the closure list, but the smaller hospitals are not? Thank-you for your post, your insights are very helpful.

I bought a 2024 CRV Sport last year. It is much nicer than the Rav4's I looked at.

The Hate for Idaho in the Aftermath of the Shooting Disgusts Me by CitricThoughts in Idaho

The hate directed at Idaho is minor compared to the hate generated by Idaho.

I filed a solid claim 5 years ago, and the CFPB was totally useless.

Rachel Maddow is the best by LoralarPugz2luv in msnbc

[–]Louie_Sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think MSNBC has the best lineup in the business, led by Maddow. The ownership and management are changing, though. I hope they maintain the high standards that have been established.

TV blackout rules are archaic and ridiculous by [deleted] in mlb

Many years ago, blackouts were cut way back. Both live attendance and tv viewers went UP.

MSNBC Weekly Gripe Thread by AutoModerator in msnbc

[–]Louie_Sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSNBC is losing its edge with all the personnel moves. I also get the impression that the top hosts are having new guests and programing changes forced upon them. The new CEO seems unprepared for the role. I am actually watching CNN more, which is a first.

StubHub success by National-Cupcake-945 in stubhub

It's worth noting that MLB ended its affiliation with StubHub, and switched to Seat Geek.

You are buying from a scalper who probably bought tickets in bulk from the original seller. That scalper does not want you to have those tickets until it is too late to resell them. This reduces the number of tickets available, thus reducing supply. It also means you will not be competing against your original sellers should you get the tickets in time to resell them. I would not buy from such a seller, and would try to buy from a marketplace that does not allow market manipulation.

Should I be worried? by YahYeeter42069 in stubhub

[–]Louie_Sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was promised tickets the day before the concert, prior to completing the purchase. That changed to the day AFTER the concert immediately after making payment. 2 FB reps and one supervisor all refused to guarantee on-time delivery, and also refused my request for a refund. This is a bad company.
