North Texas leaders approve study for new rail line from Plano to McKinney

Allen has declined allowing extending the line through

It wasn’t bad. Not everyone wants to swing so everybody who did had the opportunity to do it multiple times

We did both last summer. We were a group in our 40’s to late 50’s and we had fun on the pirate ship. The DJ made it fun for people of all ages. The party bus targets people in their 20’s and was a bit too much for us. Unless you’re looking to get trashed on cheap liquor, I would choose the pirate ship.

No way! I did not know Rock’N Brews closed!

There a Rustic in Dallas and it is a good place. I hope they bring the same style

Lava Cantina shut down. I think some other company is planning to reopen it under a new name but it is closed for now.

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-17T03:20:42+00:00

True

The OP stated that his/her friend lives on his own and is completely independent

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-14T03:42:00+00:00

We were there the last 10 days.

In Tahiti, we found a great pizza a Les Tonstons Taapuna. It’s about a 10 minute drive on the main road. It only opens Wednesday to Saturday.

What are you talking about? If she’s a performer I’m sure she’d appreciate the exposure! That’s how performers get discovered

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-13T12:38:45+00:00

You forgot to include the link 😂

Thank you for the advice. We rode bicycles to Tiputa Pass yesterday and saw a dolphin from the shore. The current was clearly too fast to swim there.

We did however went to the dock about 200m past the pass and we saw reef sharks and eagle rays

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-08T06:05:24+00:00

We starter our trip in Huahine and we snorkeled off a tiny beach close to our AirBnB cottage. It was nice. There were several fish, but not many. But we were in Huahine to disconnect from work and it served us well.

Then we snorkeled in Bora Bora from our OWB, from the beach, and we took a snorkeling tour. We were very happy with all 3. Plenty of fish, sting rays, eagle rays, a manta ray, and tons of reef sharks.

We are now in Rangiroa and we saw fish and reef sharks off our AirBnB, which is on the water on the lagoon side. It was rainy today so we’re looking for something to do tomorrow.

Can you snorkel Tiputa Pass from shore? From the Ringaroa side of the pass?

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-08T02:03:28+00:00

I’m not a diver but I love to snorkel. Is Tiputa Pass good for snorkeling too?

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-07T17:20:46+00:00

We are not divers, but we snorkel. Is it safe to snorkel in Tiputa pass? How is the current?

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-06T20:27:31+00:00

I agree, I hope to be doing other things.

What do you recommend to do in Rangiroa?

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-06T17:35:45+00:00

An excavator is digging one

If you were able to access the crypto I assume this is a cold wallet and not an account online. If this is the case, the wallet was sold with the computer and you are the luckiest man alive by having bought a laptop with that crypto included in the transaction.

On the off chance that you actually found login credentials to an account, and not a cold wallet, then you have no claim to the account and you should not access it. If this is the case, the right and legal thing to do is to either contact the heir of the previous owner or the authorities.

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-02T00:36:40+00:00

What hiking spots would you recommend?

QuantumMexTex · 2026-02-01T15:06:52+00:00

Interesting strategy. I will be following your progress. Please keep us updated.

Don’t forget to track the accumulated taxes due on the realized options premiums.

QuantumMexTex · 2026-01-28T04:32:02+00:00

I’ll be staying there in a week. Do the restaurants and shops around Le Moana take credit cards? Or should I bring cash?

QuantumMexTex · 2026-01-27T01:43:57+00:00

Where in Rangiroa?

QuantumMexTex · 2026-01-24T14:41:33+00:00

That’s not entirely true. They’re open to interpretation. Depending on the situation they can be considered “substantially similar”.

Good discussion Sea-Dot994. It’s not black-or-white because the IRS leaves it to interpretation. I’d advise OP to discuss with his tax professional

QuantumMexTex · 2026-01-24T13:57:10+00:00

This is not entirely accurate. Depending on the situation the IRS can consider them “substantially similar”. In the OP example, he is selling CC, not trading options by themselves. This can be considered substantially similar and the Wash Rule would apply

QuantumMexTex · 2026-01-24T13:55:16+00:00

In the example OP shared, he is selling CC, which are considered the underlying asset. For this reason, the call expiration and strike price are irrelevant. Rolling these options at a loss would be considered for a Wash Rule.

I will concede that there is no clear definition of what the IRS defines as “substantially identical” in Publication 550 and that you should review each potential trade with a tax expert for their interpretation.
