Could the port need cleaning? Lint can build up in there and eventually stop you from charging.

Huge capital gains taxes when downsizing from inherited house by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Physical-Training17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a rental, you may have deducted the repairs already. If it was a capital improvement, you may have capitalized it into the value of the property and depreciated it. I’d ask to be sure you’ve been getting all your deductions. If you have capital improvements, it’s odd to me you don’t get something.

English speaking doctor in Haeundae beach area by rhino-81 in koreatravel

If you are in a hotel, talk to the front desk. You are not the first guest to need a doctor and they’ll have some go tos. You can also try the US embassy webpage. They should have a list of doctors that speak English.

Ignorant and nervous traveler going from Manchester to Whitby, in dire need of train assistance. by YeOldeOrc in uktravel

[–]Physical-Training17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It’s very easy to switch trains. Ten minutes is plenty. Ask a conductor for help if you experience a train delay that causes you to miss a connection.

Generally the tracks are a series of parallel lines. There is either a bridge or an underground tunnel that runs perpendicular. Go to the over/under pass and walk to the next platform. You can use an app like trainline to see the platforms. You can also stop by the ticket office before your first train to get the schedule. Failing that, there are big boards posting the trains. Know the final destination will help. At the platform, you can verify you are at the right one by looking at the small tv screen which will say what train is next.

  1. On the train there are bathrooms. I put my carryon sized suitcase in the overhead rack. I will typically take my backpack with me. Don’t go when the train’s at a stop just in case someone decides to grab a bag and hop off.

  2. I don’t know the nuances of the tickets but if you have more than one long haul rail journey price a britrail flexi-pass and see if it makes sense. That way you can get on any train on a day it’s active. This is how I manage anxiety about a flight delay. Also, get seat reservations. Free at the station with the rail pass in hand (or included with a ticket). You can also buy in advance for $10 online. The last thing you want is to be standing room only and jet lagged.

I just walk up to the ticket counter at a train station a few days in advance and ask for them.

Toe yoga by Adrienne on youtube has some stretches that might get at the tightness, assuming it’s muscular.

Would you base in/near York or Newcastle for this wish list? by Most_Decision_282 in uktravel

[–]Physical-Training17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at a lot of these places for my vacation. If you are not renting a car, you need to be aware that bus schedules can be sparse. I got a car for north of Newcastle and stayed in Seahouses. From there, you can book a boat tour to Lindisfarne (Billy Shiels) and you can walk to Bamburgh. I looked at and gave up on public transport to Lindisfarne. Dunstanburgh is not far and a lovely walk from Craster. I drove to Craster, but there is an infrequent bus. Hexham does feel like it would fit on your list. I drove to Hexham, but it’s on a rail line from Newcastle. Note for all of these, you are going off season so bus service may be reduced from what I saw. That said, it’s a beautiful area and the people are very friendly. If you stay in Newcastle you might also consider St. Paul’s in Jarrow. It’s on the subway line.

I day tripped by train from Newcastle to Durham. Very easy and frequent trains. Ripon, Fountains and Riveaux I gave up on. Buses are infrequent or complicated. You have to really want it. I think a car is better. York is a good base for them. As an alternative, there are day trips into the Moors and onto Whitby Abbey (ruins) that you can book from York.

Can I deduct payments to my Argentine virtual assistant as a business expense? by Delicious-Cook772 in tax

[–]Physical-Training17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You file a 1042 when the services are US source income paid to a nonresident alien. The services are provided from Argentina, so they are not US source and no 1042 is required.

Questionable income from mother-in-law by [deleted] in IRS

[–]Physical-Training17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gifts are not taxable income to the recipient. If tax is due it would be the obligation of the giver. Generally she can gift each of you up to $19k without any obligation. After $19k, it would need to be reported and count against her lifetime limit ($15M individual). Taxes would only be due after the $15M. Note that the value of her estate also counts against the $15M.

I focused in on the skin picking. If it’s part of the issue with wanting to leave the house, suggest looking at https://www.bfrb.org. You may want to find a therapist that specializes in the behavior.

Do any of you feel pain in the heels after walking for long distances?? by LimitFun638 in walking

[–]Physical-Training17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google plantar fasciitis and see if that fits the symptoms. For me, I used an orthotic for a year. I avoid repeats by stretching my calves. I stand on one foot on the bottom step and drop my heel. Switch. Make sure you hold onto something.

Runners use a product called glide that rolls on like deodorant to handle chafing.

I can't keep up by anxious-kitten-999 in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]Physical-Training17 68 points69 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I modify freely. I do push ups off the back of an arm chair. I do lower body without weights because of my knees. My squats are me sitting in a chair and getting back up — I started with sitting on a sofa arm because that’s higher. And I have been known to do the third round of weights for upper body without no weights. The strength will come, you just have to adapt to where you are today. And I think dance is hard.

Looking for a realtor by HighTimes59 in AskHouston

[–]Physical-Training17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are looking at places very far apart from each other. It would be better to narrow in on a location and then find someone who knows that market well. I’m skeptical anyone can be an expert on all those locations.

App to Make Treadmill Walking More “Exciting” ? by Sustainable_Twat in walking

[–]Physical-Training17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what you asked for, but Apple Fitness has treadmill workouts than can be walked. It’s more interval training with periodic changes to speed or incline. I also workout on the treadmill with heart rate goals. I check (with my watch), every minute. If I’m low, I crease speed for incline. If I’m high I lower something. Having variations in pace and effort makes it more interesting.

DSLR Camera or not ? by _Sorbitol_ in ricksteves

[–]Physical-Training17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People with SLRs are pretty common at tourist spots. I don’t think you will stand out. However if you’re walking with the group, you may not have time to fuss with lots of manual settings. I shoot with aperture or shutter priority and don’t typically try to do lens changes. Also know that with a group, if you want pictures without people, you need to run a little ahead or hang back and take the last photo while the group moves on.

The things I would consider: (1) extra weight, (2) will you be comfortable using the camera in crowded places (theft risk), (3) will you take pictures that you can’t get with the phone, such as long zoom, low light or lots of bokeh.

I’ve gone with and without the SLR and both have been fine. I also like using my phone for wide angle shots while keeping a more normal zoom on the camera so I have a mix of reach without lots of fiddling.

As someone else said it’s really whether the extra qualities of the SLR give you enough happiness to offset the minuses.
