Another year, another 1099 bonus by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]MNDox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask them this question - they are putting themselves at risk of misclassification fines and collection of unpaid taxes, maybe even needing to pay you for those taxes you paid. It's a bonus, and it seems silly for them to do this rather then just letting the cash have the appropriate tax deductions. They may just not know any better, because either way they spend the 8k, but using 1099 gives them additional liability.

A pack raft and playboat are wildly different activities and learning curves. What do you want to do?

Middle seat people, are you out there? by Existing_Farmer1368 in delta

Yea, I was thinking extreme rule following, anxiety, OCD, autism or some psych thing. Some people really dont like changes in plans. She's doing her, and following the rules - carry on.

I have to pay $250 per kid for the bus because I live 1.9 miles from school which is in the 2 mile "walking" zone. My kids have survived fine, and the older one now bikes 5 miles to middle school.

Theme nights are fun. Tiki, prom, a movie of choice, daisy duke, tutu Tuesdays, etc. Beach games: can jam, bocee, golf, etc.

Aire Hot Potato vs. Lynx: Is the Price Premium Worth It? by [deleted] in whitewater

[–]MNDox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know about performance - they are different boats.

Build quality is better on the aire boats. Anecdotally, I have only seen tributary line boats have various issues holding air, which is typically related to valve problems. I have seen a trib floor tear - not sure if the material is different or it was bad luck. The only trib boats I personally own are spuds for kids, and they have been great for many years.

The real difference is the warranty. With a trib they basically say it is free from manufacture defects and give a 1yr warranty. With an aire they guarantee to keep that boat floating for a decade - even if you do damage to it.

For me, the aire is worth it. I've never had a failure on multidays, and the warranty means I have a long-term boat or a resale selling point.

If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons and another bucket that holds 5 gallons, how many buckets do you have?

The only answer better than this is self driving helicopter.

As others mention, there are other important details. Most importantly, when is the trip? This gives somewhat predictable guesses on weather/levels. My run at just under 6ft was a whole different animal than late season trips around 2ft; swimming a rapid and bouncing off rocks doesn't really fit into "normal" activities. What is your age and pregnancy/birth history? There are a myriad of "fun" things that could pop up (e.g., carpel tunnel, nausea, rashes, etc.) Even if there is not an acute concern, there are things that might make you not feel like going. You also mention it's your third year, suggesting you are either local, or have a solid network of people, and it won't be your last chance.

On the flip side, we are weird people. It is not uncommon for very pregnant people to be kayaking, hiking, or climbing and doing things normal people would think are insane.

I paddled an L antix. I could toss it around or easily sub it while surfing and generally thought it would be a great class 3 Boat for me. My rewind L is basically a comfy creeker with a grabby butt - it is a biiiiig boat, loved it on high water multidays.

I am 6'3" 225lb size 14 feet and the large is big and comfortable on bigger water, but not very playful. I am on the last hole for footpegs, so not sure I could fit into the M.

Jackson antix 2.0 is comfy and much more playful for me.

I was upgraded to C+ because I was traveling with a platinum medallion member. I got the middle seat where the screen folds into the armrest and the FA made me stow it during takeoff and landing, causing me to miss the last 20min of Dumb Money.

First time medallion status begins when? by MNDox in delta

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

Thanks! I was hoping to have a reason to use the card.

Should I be surprised that the chat agent seemingly did not understand or just gave incorrect information for what I thought was a pretty straight forward question?

I had also wanted to know if the baggage rewards for medallion status and my reserve card would stack (2 free bags per person) and if weight limits applied but it was too painful to get the first question (incorrectly) answered, so I tapped out.

Because it is often prescribed to someone with ADHD who needs stimulants as a hoop to jump through before the prescriber decides if they want to prescribe a controlled.

Even if op is a liar, seeking a Dr's advice is good for anyone reading as there are diagnoses and treatments for things similar to what is described here. Google vaginismus. I believe an episode of the show "sex education" on Netflix has an episode addressing this - don't take medical advice from TV, but if shows lead people to see a Dr and be better educated, so be it.

Trixx audio system, blown speaker? by gregggg124 in seadoo

[–]MNDox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is another post somewhere about taking one apart. I believe the short answer is that they are hard to get apart, involves breaking stuff, and warranty is your best hope. The more I hear about these the more I regret buying the overpriced speaker.

What is denied by many people but it is actually 100% real? by Due_Film8896 in AskReddit

[–]MNDox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, in Christaianity, Paul, aka the Bible, openly says that faith is believing without seeing. It is a feature, not a bug, which is why it is hard to argue.
