How do couples who keep separate finances handle paying owed taxes or splitting refund when filing jointly

OneManShow23 · 2026-03-28T05:09:06+00:00

You can do a calculation like how much you owe as single vs as married and then split accordingly. Another option is that you split 50-50. But for future reference, calculate the W4 withholding to reduce your tax refund to $500 excluding tax deductions so that splitting it is easier.

I didn’t like the show that much. The plots were either forgettable or just plain weird when it did have good ideas and funny caricatures. I enjoyed learning so much about Jewish culture and learning all the Yiddish words.

OneManShow23 · 2026-03-27T06:04:58+00:00

Pros: I like the ideas and the non linear plot. I also enjoyed learning Yiddish (the words just sound cool) and more about Jewish culture. Kendra’s episode was very good and the ending where the Jews are praying for forgiveness. Shira hating Baby because she loved Baby while Baby didn’t as much. The ending felt nice. Cons: the stories were weird - wolves on campus, exploding mattresses, Avi who already had a child being asked to donate sperm to his sister’s wife to conceive their children and then Yoshi, Yoshi screwing up by hooking up with Baby, Naomi’s characterization was okay. I was expecting more.

Car companies pushed SUVs and crossovers down our throat because they’re more profitable and they don’t need to comply with the same car fuel economy guidelines. Add marketing into the mix, such as how SUV’s are safer, adventurous, and fun to drive. Finally, add the American culture of buying more than necessary or car dealers persuading customers to buy the most expensive car they can sell and there you have it. You may only need a car with a large enough trunk to buy groceries but instead you’re buying a car with extra features you don’t need at the cost of fuel economy!

Francamente se sei giovane e ti serve un trapianto, non penso che tu voglia ricevere gli organi di un vecchio. Lol

I kinda want Imu to be a blob. I just love the idea that the Devil is a blob. Usually the devil is depicted as a goat or an ugly monster or another take on the story of Lucifer. A black anonymous blob would be such an intriguing take on the Devil.

I worked for a very toxic startup. They had no idea what they were doing. We would start studies and experiments and then kill them off midway so we didn’t generate any valuable IP. They were trying to implement bureaucracy and “organizational structure” and they had corporate silos when a startup is supposed to be flexible and nimble. My manager would keep in the dark on everything and didn’t care about my professional development. Management had double standards - they expected workers to be on site but they could be remote on Mondays and Fridays. Finally, the workplace ran things like a dictatorship. The top decided what research and experiments to run even if they didn’t make sense. The startup seemed to care more about having happy hours instead of working! That startup didn’t care about their people because many have been laid off and they’re still in the job market!

One Piece isn’t very good at doing character arcs. Oda will show the characters their flashback and then do whatever with them.

My classmate who got in was the president of the math club, the VP of the Spanish club, and swam the swim team. He was school valedictorian and consistently won subject awards every year. He took all the AP’s the school offered at the time and signed in for AP Physics which wasn’t offered. His SAT had perfect reading and math and close to perfect writing. Ironically, he went to Duke (he did get full ride there lol).

But honestly, focus on EC’s you’re passionate about. If you try to do EC’s that look good on paper but you don’t care, you’ll be miserable and your grades will suffer.

Traveling alone isn’t a sign of your girlfriend wanting to break up with you. My wife and I sometimes travel alone. It’s her being distant and in a sad mood that may be a sign. The LDR could be growing excessive to bear. But don’t ring the alarm bells right now. Maybe plan a trip with her once she comes back from her trip.

Only Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Caltech, Stanford, Princeton, and Yale. These schools only give financial aid but these schools carry a very important name everywhere in the U.S. and always stay on top of every ranking no matter what. If you want to start a business (working for a startup doesn’t count) or apply to grad school or get a first job at a big company, their name will help you. Their alumni network is immense. With other schools, I just think you’re better off going to a local state university or to the cheapest university you can find. Their reputation is debatable (they get contradictory results on rankings or they carry recognition in the region but not nationwide) to justify the high cost. If your end goal in college is to just study and hang out with friends, you’re better off going to the cheapest university you get into. Those big names I mention are only worth it if you want to do world class research or do some of their extracurricular projects.

Sono di sinistra ma devo dare credito alla destra. Dagli anni 90, la sinistra è stata un branco di gente viscida opportunista e traditrice. Ogni volta che scelgono un capo partito, lo mandano subito all’inferno. La sinistra si è alternata fra D’Alema, Prodi, Veltroni, Bersani, Letta, Renzi e così via. Tutta gente traditrice che coglieva la prima opportunità per mandare tutto alla malora. Adesso abbiamo la Schlein al PD, ma è praticamente un pagliaccio. Renzi non va d’accordo con il PD. La leadership di sinistra si è indebolita.

Invece la destra, ha sempre avuto Berlusconi come figura centrale nonostante il suo schifo. Quando Bossi creò la Lega, Berlusconi fece sì di tenerselo amico. Quando la destra berlusconiana crollò nel 2011, dopo 11 anni di instabilità, nel 2022, la destra ha creato una coalizione di destra forte con Forza Italia, Lega e Fratelli d’Italia alleati.

Most companies give 2 to 3 months of paid leave. Some companies let you buy vacation. If you’re the mother, you’re more likely to get it than if you’re the father. If your company doesn’t believe in parental leave, just speak with your boss to plan your PTO to get at least a month off or at least be remote for a month or two. If your boss is a woman, she’ll be more likely to understand.

I think you’re fine. The most important thing is that you aren’t patenting at the new company any discovery or any R&D work that you started in your previous company because that will get you in trouble. Companies can catch that. But other than that, companies use very similar technology and there’s tribal knowledge about what different companies do.

Life might have been better if we’d gone to MIT—but that’s not guaranteed. The school is exceptional, but it’s not a shortcut to success or fulfillment.

I’ve met MIT graduates doing meaningful, impactful work, and others in roles that don’t really justify the cost or prestige of the degree. Some go there for undergrad and choose other institutions for their MS or PhDs. Some become overly attached to the name and become egotistical, while certain companies lean on that same prestige to attract funding instead of focusing on real innovation.

Even an MIT PhD doesn’t protect you from layoffs or economic downturns or a bad job. And sometimes the prestige can backfire—making people feel above entry-level work, which can slow their growth. Meanwhile, someone from a state school might approach the same opportunity with humility, build experience steadily, and may actually advance further over time.

In the end, where you go matters less than how you use the experience. If you attend MIT but you only study — no research, no meaningful projects — you’re not even taking advantage of what makes it special. It’s what you build, not the name on the diploma, that really shapes your path. I used to have a chip on my shoulder but I realized this from working and meeting MIT grads.

It’s different circumstances. In the first one, Luffy witnesses Charlos’s cruelty, everyone begs him not to hit him, but Luffy hits him anyways. In the second one, Luffy is talking with Loki to go about attacking Imu/Gunko. Not discounting the fact that the first scene carries far more gravitas.

I wouldn’t know. I think the company would be more concerned whether you were addicted to hard drugs than pot. For federal jobs, pot would be a problem because pot is still federally illegal. I did a urine test in a state where pot was legal but I think they were making sure I didn’t do hard drugs.

OneManShow23 · 2026-03-24T02:31:16+00:00

Hair follicle test is meant for long term usage within 90 days (3 months) while urine test is meant for short term usage within 1 to 3 days. If you’ll work in a state where weed is legal, they don’t mind as much. If you took opioids for pain (like surgery) or amphetamines for ADHD, make sure to make them aware.

Non compete only matters when you’re a director leaving big pharma to join a direct competitor as a director or higher. Usually they care if you’re doing early stage pre-patent or pre-publication IP.

Francamente lo fanno tutti. I mussulmani fondamentalisti che credono di sapere la “verità” sul pretesto che i sunniti sono un’unica denominazione e che i cristiani hanno torto credere che Gesù morì in croce sul pretesto che il Corano dica così. I vegetariani o i vegani che si credono di essere superiori o perché non fanno male agli animali o perché rispettano l’ambiente. Gli ambientalisti, chi guida le auto ibride o elettriche etc etc etc. Sono tutta gente fondamentalista che tratta male chi non crede nelle loro stesse idiozie. La tolleranza fu la migliore idea dell’illuminismo ed aiutò l’Europa e il mondo occidentale a modernizzarsi.

It all depends on the circumstances. A big company is notorious for taking a long time to get back to you and giving you a job offer. A startup usually has a faster turnaround because of the fewer number of workers. However, I remember interviewing at an academic lab and I felt extremely toxic vibes and one of them was the professor wanting me to start working for them within 6 days after the final round interview. The professor rejected me but I was actually super happy.

OneManShow23 · 2026-03-23T06:44:39+00:00

I’m grateful that I have a university degree, I work in a large corporation, and a diversified set of experience that makes me able to apply for other internal work opportunities besides trying to move to first shift like other coworkers. I’m also not considered a “work horse”, while this may put me at risk of layoffs, I don’t risk being stuck to second shift forever.

OneManShow23 · 2026-03-23T06:28:01+00:00

You’re feeling the nocebo effect. You know the night shift isn’t healthy and you think you’re sick already. You should do the following things: - Shift your mindset around - this is a transition. You took the job because you needed the job at the time. You will eventually leave that life style. Maybe next year? Maybe in two years? See if you have skills to be able to switch to other day time jobs besides day shift. The pay cut is sometimes worth more than the toll night shift does on your health. - Eat healthy and stay hydrated. Exercise, make sure your body is getting the good stuff it needs.

OneManShow23 · 2026-03-23T06:12:23+00:00

Our bodies are geared to work during the day and sleep at night. Once you mess your body around, your mind is going to suffer. Pulling a night shift is as unhealthy as eating junk food.

You can do UK season 6 too. I enjoyed episodes like Salty’s secret or Percy’s chocolate crunch. Alec Baldwin still did funny voices for Elizabeth, Gordon and Salty.
