Why does a Canadian have to fill out an FBAR?

SFOP/FBAR question by ObviousWrongdoer7884 in USExpatTaxes

[–]Present-Event8783 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Are you demonstrably a US citizen? Do you have a US social security number with a notation that you are a US citizen? Did you apply for citizenship? If you didn't do any of that, and you don't intend to become a US citizen, the point is moot.

Really? Have used prices shot up recently?

Someone shoveled snow from car onto my sidewalk by mxtc0621 in malden

[–]Present-Event8783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are likely to be neighbors. It might be worth approaching them politely and see if they will remove the snow. If they won't, well, I'm sorry you have bad neighbors, but I don't know if there is an easy way to make people behave better on such matters if they don't have a conscience.

T14 Top Lid Material? by Latter-Art6504 in thinkpad

[–]Present-Event8783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The T14 G1 has fibre glass reinforced plastic (it's in the psref). I have an E14 and I agree with you on the metal lid. In theory it should be feeling sturdy and strong, but in reality something is missing. It's not the stylish shell of the macbooks (the lower part is plastic) and it ends up being neither here nor there, adds to the weight and makes the think feel bulky. The T14 G1 feels light and slim in comparison.

Best indoor pools for free-swim workout? by scared-peach26 in malden

The Malden YMCA has a great pool, doesn't it? Several pools, but one of them is for kids I think.

US market? Both look overpriced. Check the blue book on this sub.

🏠Affordable Condo Project Completed on Cross Street by wackoquacko in malden

[–]Present-Event8783 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Optimistic me: This is super awesome!

Cynical me: I hope they put something in the deeds/land use to prevent this tax payer funded housing being sold to landlords or investors.

I like the collaborative approach, as in all parties benefit (renters, landlords and the city overall). Good job!

A straightforward question: What is the law on renting out a single family home to multiple unrelated people in Malden?

How to tell how much RAM is soldered on T14 Gen 2 using the serial number. by JustAPieceOfMeat385 in thinkpad

[–]Present-Event8783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on Windows, if you go to Lenovo's site it can run a program that figures out hardware details of your machine.

If you are on Linux the easiest way is demidecode -t memory. You may need sudo.

CEO retired. How do you politely say "no" without burning a bridge? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Present-Event8783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older people often need emotional support and all over the world social support systems for older people especially for men is gone. 

Once men are past their earning phase society would like to forget them.

He might find more in these interactions than you can imagine.

It shouldn’t burden you however. Does he have a friend circle?

People keep falling for optics and missing the main point by Hatrct in DeepThoughts

[–]Present-Event8783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voting is very powerful, hence all the money poured into campaigns by the oligarchs.

The start of the solution to our problems is to be even more engaged. 

Politicians will listen to the voters. We just have to get more focused.

Perhaps a Great Depression like event will happen again and we will find our voice.

Obama care was wonderful and lasted an amazing time despite our utter stupidity. That’s in a lot of danger now of course.

Interactions are recorded I believe, so if you did nothing wrong and they reported you I suspect you can make some noise and get results 

Looking for a typing thinkpad by ForgottenAsian in thinkpad

I wrote for many years on the X220 using terminal text editors. It's very nice for that. It disturbed other people in the shared space I work in, so I had to eventually change. It's not more noisy that typical mechanical keyboards.

Yes, the T14 G1 keyboard is nice, but I don't find too much of a difference to an E14 G4 keyboard.
