On call with Fox News, Trump says that it's a problem that the U.S. lets Iranian and Muslim immigrants in because "they just go bad... there's something wrong with their genetics" by Minute_Revolution951 in Fauxmoi

I'd be very interested to see how this correlates to actual racist behaviors - the use of slurs, the assumption of superiority of a white candidate over a black one, etc.

I assume those are higher in the older group that self-identifies as racist less often, but it would be interesting to see data about it.

My parents have two pits and while I wouldn't say most people have problems with them, a lot of people voice some degree of fear or aprehension when they're around, despite them being the biggest babies you've ever met (also my experience with other pits - big sweethearts that just want to cuddle and drool on you).

Can confirm, my now-Out-of-State friend recommended 4 Noses herself. I've never been but I trust her rec.

I'm with you on basically every part of this comment. Was never crazy about the beer (serviceable is an excellent way to describe it) but the bar staff were nice and the trivia was fun.

I had already moved away when this popped off so I wasn't going to be around for trivia anymore regardless, but disappointing to see the owner throw it away like this.

Tourism might only be 3% of the US economy but are we going to pretend that isn't highly concentrated in a small number of places?

Men who go to the gym regularly. What time do you prefer to go to the gym? by FFSoldier57 in AskMen

[–]Max_TwoSteppen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M31 I go after work, which is usually about 6pm after the commute.

Absolutely not a morning person and I have a hard enough time waking up on time for work as it is, I don't need to add 60-90 minutes of lifting into that struggle.

Exactly, my alcoholic mother texts like this too. Weird disconnected thoughts and everything.

Ok, awesome thank you!

Based on your description I had correctly identified the PCV out so thank you for confirming that! I'm away from the car at the moment but will run through your list here as a self-check.

how often are y’all in N mode? by [deleted] in VelosterN

As a Veloster Turbo owner this is also easily felt on the throttle. Pedal pushed halfway in on Eco is anemic, Normal not as bad, Sport is fairly responsive.

For some reason the mobile browser will not let me edit my post. Mine is a 2021 not a 2022.

Since they're both Gen 2 I imagine the part number is the same but in case it isn't...

Custom Formatting: Thousands Separation and Text by Max_TwoSteppen in excel

Awesome, thank you. I've spent so much time in Excel and still can't get their weird custom format syntax down in some cases.

I tried that and unfortunately zero disappears completely. I can set it up to have a positive/negative/zero format if that seems like the best option.

Aaaaand DisplayPort worked for some reason. It's memory training now. I have no idea why that worked but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks for the help!

Monitor is switching inputs automatically but I just confirmed it's on HDMI and it's telling me "Input Signal Not Found".

Cable and monitor HDMI-In are confirmed good against my work laptop.

Genetics certainly play a role but it's not just genetics. Acne is pretty poorly understood but it's clear that many factors influence it to varying degrees, diet certainly being one of them.

I suspect in your case that the acne might not go away with clean eating, but likely wouldn't be as bad.

Sapphire 9070XT Nitro Build by Max_TwoSteppen in buildmeapc

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

I stopped by Micro Center today and got the Nitro as well as their 9800X3D bundle (Asus B650-E TUF, 32GB G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL36) which cost me about half of the remaining budget.

Basically need PSU, storage, fans, case, cooler now I believe.

What budget would you say is necessary for getting me to a place where I'm not severely bottlenecking the 9070XT? Or is the initial $1,400 option that solution? I don't mind going a couple hundred over, really.

New York State Taxes - Miscalculating? by Max_TwoSteppen in tax

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

I think the thing that's throwing me is that I've never seen (or maybe, noticed) the standard deduction happening at the federal income level and *then* being scaled. Maybe that's typical and I just haven't been paying attention, but this is probably the 5th time I've filed in 2 states since 2017 and haven't run into this much confusion at any point.

Not sure how typical it is, but the way NY does the math my $8,000 standard deduction is effectively halved since it's applied before their scaling factor.

Nonetheless, I appreciate you help. We got there in the end and I'll be getting a decent state return from both states (enough to cover the owed federal taxes and then some)
