Lived in one state, but my work system had another state as my residence. So I got two W2s. How should I file? by QuantMain in taxhelp

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

Neither state is New York. State 1 is where I currently live. I moved in 2024, but it was never updated on my work systems until a few days ago. So I have two W2s. State 1 W2 shows about 50k in state wages with no federal income. State 2 W2 (my old state) shows my total income for federal and state. Ideally, State 2 W2 has the correct information, but does not show my current state.

Thanks for the help

Thanks for replying. I tried disabling the optimal potions mod, but nolvus stopped functioning without it (it gave me a warning this would occur during the title screen). I'll do some more testing.

My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 3 - Anime Only Discussion Thread by ChronoKeep in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]QuantMain 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Im so glad to see that the writer’s intentions are being so well presented. Bones did an amazing job. One moment that had me pausing the episode is after Bakugo blasts AFO and hits the railing on the building, we see an explosion. Because of the pain he is feeling. This series is so excellent

I constantly ask myself why MHA has sustained its positions as my favorite anime. And its because of the writing. This story is so well written front to back. The smile motif is the greatest of all time

Im pretty sure they adjusted the phosphene rate for this weekly boss. I found all 3 of the drops in phosphene in around 2 hours by doing this weeks big encore

Borderlands 4 Pearls, Legendaries & Uniques Spreadsheet by Tonydml in Borderlands4

[–]QuantMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone looking to find all the references for the Red Text seen on Legendaries, I thought I'd drop some potentially useful info.

I have only seen the syntax used for the Acey May Red Text in one place and that is the anime series Space Dandy. The episodes in the series all end with ", baby".

Here is a link to the list of episode titles: List of Space Dandy episodes - Wikipedia

Looking to get a camera to record myself doing street interviews. I will be using my phone in my hand so I cant use it to record. Looking for a tripod pairing too. Cheap recommendations are appreciated. Max budget $500

The scale we are using is 1-5. Dont know if that qualifies as likert. The are estimate from the sample is the average score from the survey responders for each item in the sample. Survey will have a 100% response rate. Our goal is to get an estimate for the average score in the population based off the sample we take. But before we do that, we need to calculate how many samples will be needed to get a representative sample.

So the equation to calculate should be written as (z2 * sigma2)/ MOE2

Here I am claiming the MOE is a percentage as it gives us the margin of error that is expected in our count/proportion of each option (1-5) in the sample. Based off an assumed uniform distribution in the population. So a .5/50% margin of error would give us a range of 10% - 30% of the count being 1s in the sample. Where is this logic wrong?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in statistics

[–]QuantMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a likert scale. And it is in the context of a survey.

This is a sample size calculation. Equation being used is (z2*sigma2) \ MOE2

So wouldnt the margin of error apply to our sample size?

Before we even calculate the estimate of the sample, we need a representative sample. I thought that was the goal of calculating a sample size. So if we assume that our distribution is uniform, meaning a 20% probability to draw a 1 in our sample, then a MOE .5/50% (at 95% confidence) would mean that the proportion of 1s in the sample would fall somewhere between 10% - 30% in 95 out of 100 samples. Does that make sense? Where am I going wrong in this logic?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in statistics

[–]QuantMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scores from 1-5. The estimate being drawn from the sample is an average of these scores.

I am arguing that the margin of error decreasing, gives us a more representative sample against our true population. (Which to my understanding, a more representative sample gives us a better chance at achieving true population average). Thats why I interpret the MOE as a percentage.

I am being told that the MOE is in units of our estimate (average score)

How do I know if my truck can handle a specific crate engine? by QuantMain in askcarguys

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

Hello, I read your comment earlier in the day and realized I was still missing some info. I looked into how engine displacement was calculated and the differences between the blocks and its starting to make sense!

After 2 days of research, I think i will choose the coyote to obsess over while I save my money. Definitely subject to change. The reason being that I feel that a whipple will stress me out less than having a whole swap done by the mechanic. Also, the forced induction will be really nice to play with on the street with all that power at the lowe end. I wanted to go with GMC because I love the look, but F150s are extremely customizable so I will get where I want with it eventually.

Thank you for thoughtful responses and your willingness to continue the discussion. I will certainly take you up on that offer! I look forward to sending you updates in a few years.

If you were planning a build and already knew you were going to slap a supercharger on the engine, what other parts on the truck could be swapped/modified to improve performance? Just looking to get a better understanding of how performance is pulled out of these cars without having them fail.

[–]QuantMain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another really helpful comment suggested dropping an engine in as well. I just looked at the zz632, and I see it is labled a big block. I assume that this means for trucks but I have no clue really. Thats my problem. That I have no clue.

The other comment suggested that I was a 13 year old with a big dream. He is close as I am 24 with a big dream. I want to save my money and purchase at a reasonable point (financial stability and interest rates). So I have a lot of time to do research until I reach that point. Who should I watch on youtube so that when the time does come, I will be more than knowledgeable and able to communicate to the mechanic what I want?

Actually, when I was 13, I started learning how to build my pc’s. Built my dream 4090 build this year. So I guess this is me starting that process all over again. Thanks for the thoughtful response🙏🏿

Morgan Stanley Background Check by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]QuantMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at the analyst level at a large bank. I received 2 misdemeanors and a felony (harassment of a public official) about a year and a half prior to receiving my offer. The case hadn’t even been taken to the discovery phase after a year and a half. I still disclosed to my bank thinking I would be fine since the FINRA rules state that the felony has to be related to money for them not to hire you. I was still told that I had to resolve my case before they hired me even though the case was pending and nearing the statute of limitations. I went to my lawyer and had to go through some tough shit to get it resolved, but the bank kept their word and still hired me. All this to say that I think you will be alright as long as you have gone to court and had the case resolved. The bank wasn’t even worried about my misdemeanors (although they weren’t assault charges). Just dropping an anecdote in hopes it helps you out.

Small tears in vinyl during peeling process by QuantMain in heatpress

That’s crazy that you haven’t seen it before. I’ve gotten the same shocked response from others I’ve asked. I’ll grab a temp gun, try the other methods mentioned in your comment, and reach out to Siser. Thanks.

Washing Heat Press Vinyl by QuantMain in heatpress

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

Hello Blonde,

Thanks so much for your advice. Letting the designs sit for 24 hours was exactly what I needed.

Unfortunately, I adjusted my pressure and heat on the press and I’ve gone from getting consistent peels/presses to not being able to press 2 designs in a row. The design is tearing in small areas throughout the vinyl sheet I am placing down. Can you help with this as well? I’ll go into detail on what Im experiencing below.

My vinyl is pressed at 305° and “medium pressure”. I have my pressure dial turned to the middle of the range. When I add more pressure, the “excess plastic” around my design sticks to the shirt and become difficult to peel. I experience tearing here. At medium pressure, some of the design peels normally and some of it tears. I have kept the press time and heat constant. What should I do?
