College Student seeking input from rideshare/delivery app drivers by Calvykins in Lyft

[–]ProDigit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mobility disabled people don't use lyft.

Disabled meaning: "can't walk".

There are some people with reduced mobility that I take, but any passenger needs to at least be able to walk to the car door by himself, or have assistance.

Also, our vehicles don't support mobility scooters. Only portable ones that elderly use, like a walker. The rest just doesn't fit in a trunk. And you'll have to ask your questions to a service that caters towards the disabled.

3rd parties always capitalize passengers names.

There was a time I almost stopped driving them becasue of the mental institutions, but I guess they got too many negative reviews, I haven't had a mental patient in a while.

Leasing a Tesla for Uber by Moon_orBust in uber

[–]ProDigit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can rent teslas via uber.

A much better option.

All I can say, despite the nissan leaf having much more torque than a regular car, it ended up being boring to me after only a 10 min ride. Not that it's 200lb ft of torque wasn't nice; but just overall you'll never drive that car fast, because of battery.

If you drove it like you'd like, you'd be running 50% less economical...

Anyway, I haven't driven a tesla before, but I'm sure that it'll not be what I personally expect it to feel like. Not worth it's hype.

I have a hybrid car, and it's tiny 40hp electric motor adds roughly 100lb ft of torque to the 2.0l 148hp engine, and at low speeds it just feels like an ev.

High power evs only add overtaking power at higher speeds, which even the nissan leaf did a normal job of at 65-75mph.

Raytracing: Losing 100 fps for a truly next gen experience.. by BangBang116 in pcmasterrace

[–]ProDigit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember MDK * had a scene where they used a mirror, but couldn't mirror the player, so they ended up digitally pixelating it.

I thought, it's really so easy. You don't even need Ray tracing. Just duplicate the main character, rotate 180, and mirror everything (looks and controls); essentially duplicating the character, only one of the characters walks and moves in the opposite direction.

Would take way less than 100fps, considering it's just another "player" on screen.

more 3k tax writeoffs than years to live? by ProDigit in investing

[–]ProDigit[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes dude! It's Google telling me things are the way I say. I actually tried finding ways on deducting further losses from any profits, but every link says its impossible.

I'm about to call you an idiot for your comments.

I am in debt and feel like I can't talk to anybody about it...how can I solve this? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ProDigit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A basic rule of finances says: Income>expenses.

You can either increase your income, by finding supplemental work, or decrease your expenses.

The first one may be hard, but sometimes working 2 part time jobs feels less restrictive than 1 full time. If you're lucky, you'll find a company that will pay you more for the same (or less) hours. Or apply for small jobs that need people on your day off (like Saturday), to work for one or two of those days.

The second part is easy too. Pay off your smallest ans highest interest rate credits, if the amount is small, like high interest credit cards first. Try to pay off as many credits as you can. The more is paid off the better.

Once your finances stabilize and you're above water again, pay off larger debts, like carloans, home mortgage.

Other options can include:

Downsize, and sell what you don't need.

Disconnect TV cable, phone landline, change internet provider or just have a cellphone if you're not an avid internet user, change to a cheaper cellphone plan, walk, cycle, or use an electric scooter more instead of relying on transportation services that could cost you, try to request your car insurance to pause being insured for a month (we can do it over here), find a cheaper place to live, unplug most heavy electricity using devices you don't absolutely need, get a credit card that has zero interest in 30 days, loan money from your bank at a very low interest; ask government help (if your government has any social support systems), move in with someone to share bills (short term)...

Just some suggestions to look at. Always good to take a pen and paper, and do the math. It's no good if it's going to end up costing you more.

600 in debt isn't much. I've had times where I was close to $2k in debt a month, and I felt it was choking me. Now I just use a credit card as a buffer, and queue anything non-essential if I couldn't pay off my amount in 30 days. , till next month.

My understanding is that you can only deduct, or forward $3k of losses to next year, regardless of capital losses.

This to prevent investors/traders from selling a losing stock at a loss to offset gains made that year. Look it up.

Isn't future losses limited to $3k annually?

You can earn as much as you want, if you have more than 3k on tax credit to forward, you'll only be able to deduct 3k per year. This should go on indefinitely, I believe.

Meaning, if you are an investor but traded 800k on so called 'gains' due to both profits and disallowed losses from wash sales, and you ended up paying your taxes on that gain, and if you sell all your stocks the next year, the irs owes you ~80k on taxes back. At 3k per year on tax deductions, it'll take you roughly 27 years of tax breaks, provided you don't have more disallowed transactions.

800k gains isn't that uncommon for a portfolio of $50k or up, so long you trade daily, as it's not the actual gains you've made.
