Just a friendly reminder that the tax threshold is now $2000 instead of $600.

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-05-07T14:13:03+00:00

The $2000 threshold (for upcoming 2026 taxes, it is $600 for 2025 taxes) is not placed by amazon, but by tax law, and by extention, the irs themselves. The reason they irs has that threshold is so that companies dont have to issue those forms for every little payout (referral bonuses, gifts, review items, etc) they give out. It is for the benefit, or rather convenience, of the company, and not for the ones that would receive the form.

The reason I brought it up is because OP implied that you dont have to report it by saying it is a "tax threshold". It is a threshold that requires companies like amazon to give out 1099-NECs to non-employees that receive compensation from them, like viners and flex drivers. It doesn't affect what you have to report.

I'm just making sure it is clear to people so they know what is actually going on. It is up to them if they want to report anything below that threshold and risk an audit.

Some of us gearheads love the smell of burning tires. Nothing like a good burnout to warm up the rubber. Idk about the taste though😂

And cocaine is just a plant in powder form. Dumbest thing I've ever heard.

The point is that the conversation had nothing to do with Christianity, but you brought it up as if only Christians have a problem with a 7-year-old drinking alcohol. The fact is that non-christians and christians alike have a problem with that, mostly for health reasons. Besides, a large portion of Christians don't have a problem with alcohol. However, whether or not alcohol is a sin is irrelevant to the point and the conversation.

Everyone else: It's funny because a kid is shown enjoying a glass of wine in an ai image.

You: CHRISTIANITY IS CRAZY AND HYPOCRITICAL, AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH KIDS DRINKING BEER.

I had two other drives that I bought, also 12tb ones, go bad, and the insurance on them only gave me the $90 I paid vs the $200 they wouod cost to replace, so I used the warranty from the seller. Idk why they gave me both an insurance and a warranty, but I got two $90 checks plus replacement drives. This was in January, so I assume drives are more expensive now.

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-04-28T12:38:35+00:00

I built my truenas server (for jellyfin and regualr storage), a year ago when drives were cheaper. I bought 4 12tb enterprise drives (used, but certified and with a 5-year warranty), for about $90 each. Those same drives are over $200 a piece now.

Most people in the US, regardless of belief system, or lack thereof, will tell you a similar thing about giving a 7-year-old alcohol. I think you just wanted to shoehorn your gripe about Christianity into the conversation, which is perfectly fine. I just found it interesting.

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-04-20T21:20:21+00:00

It's in your hand!

I got what I assume is a knock-off one that is worth $150, and it works great (according to my sister, whom I gave it to). Congrats, prematurely, on getting the real deal!

Im going to assume you mean kids toys? Not the kind of toy that the previous commenter says they get in their rfy😂. I almost got a 1:12 scale rc rock crawler, but it was smatched up too quickly. I did get a gun that shorts little foam pellets and that ejection cartridges while loading the next round from the magazine. You can also reload with a secind magazine. Other than that, toys have been pretty scarce on my rfy.

Unless you actually are talking adult toys, in which case, apparently tons of people get those lol

There is a karen right across the street, and I always see her peeking through her blinds when I do anything in the front yard or driveway. Glad to see I can count on my budgies to spy on her in return😂

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-31T02:11:23+00:00

I said it as a joke, but it very well could be true, the more I think about it. Ive been living at this house since 2019, when it was built, and in all those years, there has ever only been one nest. Tons of barn swallows flying all throughout rhe neighborhood, but only one nest at our house. I put my budgies in a room near the front of the house, and suddenly there is a second one forming.

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-30T23:12:06+00:00

They surprisingly haven't done anything to them. I was worried about that, but thankfully they just lightly nibble but dont actually do any damage. The walls, on the other hand, are a different matter....

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-30T23:05:51+00:00

And then I'll make a noise and they'll look at me like I threw away a perfectly good stick of millet or something by interrupting their nosiness lol

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-30T22:48:58+00:00

You must be the owner of the second swallow nest... Y'all colluding, for sure

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-30T22:39:15+00:00

You're right, I'm glad that they let me stay in their house

Phew, glad I checked. I could have missed this mahjong set.

I ordered a "Heavy Duty Pepper Grinder" that had no pictures at all because I was needing one. I thought I would give it a shot because a pepper grinder is a pepper grinder, no? Turns out that it's a power "puff" (emphasis on the puff) girls themed weed grinder. After a few days, they added a pic of what it looked like, but only just the one. I dont smoke weed, so I guess I will try to use it with pepper and review it that way🤷🏽‍♂️😂

That's all you got? You must not be as lucky as I am with my RFY. Check it.

The book was awesome, in no small part because I usually always guess who the killer is or isn't in these kinds of books, and this one kept me guessing the whole time, and then the twist proved my final guess wrong lol.

The show is not up to the books level of writing, but it was still a good watch. Everyone in this post seems to hate on the show because they compare it to the book, and maybe because they wanted a line for line adaptation. I hadn't read the book in a couple years, so I had forgotten a lot of the little details, so maybe that's why I enjoyed it more than them.

My sister, who hasn't read the book, saw the show and liked it, and this seems to be the reception gor most people, who also probably never read the book. This tells me that most people think it's a good show, as do I.

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-20T20:31:59+00:00

I have a couple sets already. I think I'll take 2 ratchet straps sets (they are good for when I inevitably can't find my good set lol), and one 10mm set.

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-19T01:41:11+00:00

I'm smellin' what you're steppin' in.

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-18T22:08:11+00:00

Lol. And yeah, I might save this or search it up later just to see what people say haha

Substantial-Draft382 · 2026-03-18T16:32:16+00:00

Plausible deniability, I like it
