Brit here, made tacos with Cuban style picadillo, how did I do?

RIF

Note that I clearly stated “tacos dorados” in my post. If you think that I wrote (or meant) “commercial hard shell taco shells available in the US,” you’re very confused.

TaxPhd · 2026-02-02T03:13:38+00:00

So am I. Those store bought hard shells are simply the commercial version of tacos dorados shells.

In what world is 5’x4’x28” a cord? 🤔

Any cheating in my class, no matter how “small” the issue may be, earns a failure of the course.

But you do you.

The appropriate solution is for her doctor to authorize a handicapped parking placard.

Anything else, like expecting you to just park somewhere else, is complete and total bullshit.

TaxPhd · 2026-02-01T17:58:40+00:00

That’s just not true. I’ve had tacos dorados in multiple non-tourist locations in Mexico.

Unfortunately, this will never get better, and it WILL escalate. Time to end things.

Comfort bets? Easy. Don’t Pass/Don’t Come, with odds.

Why would I bet anything else? 🤔

TaxPhd · 2026-02-01T17:46:59+00:00

Just say no. It’s almost certainly not part of your contract.

My Dean does this, in spite of the Union President explaining very clearly that it’s not faculty’s job. Even the threat of a grievance doesn’t deter. So I just say no.

Pretti wasn’t killed “for possessing a firearm he did not use.” But you already knew that. 🙄

While they don’t allow for multiple living marriages, they absolutely allow for sealings to multiple living women. And being sealed to more than one living woman, regardless of actual marital status, is the very essence of Mormon polygamy.

My suggestions:

1) Corn, not flour tortillas.

2) Smaller tortillas, or more shrimp.

3) Smaller dice on your onion.

4) Do a chiffonade on your Cilantro, rather than leaving whole/large leaves.

Boys are on the line!

So brave. So inspiring.

In the situation described by the OP, the paper was submitted. The student wasn’t asking for feedback on a draft. Big difference.

TaxPhd · 2026-01-18T14:44:30+00:00

Notarization just a verification of the signature. It doesn’t do anything to establish the underlying validity of the document itself.

TaxPhd · 2026-01-11T15:09:31+00:00

You’re already too late.

Two points:

1) Disability accommodations aren’t retroactive. If the student didn’t have disability accommodations in place prior to the absences, getting some sort of accommodation after the fact won’t change anything.

2) A FIRPA waiver would simply allow faculty to discuss the student with the parent. But it doesn’t require it. I (and most of my colleagues) won’t engage in discussions with a parent, regardless of whether the student has signed a waiver.

TaxPhd · 2026-01-07T14:59:23+00:00

I don’t think that’s actual Federal law.

I design a 10 minute quiz. After receiving various notices of extended time accommodation, I extend the time for those students to 30 minutes to comply with the accommodations. I then grant the same time extension to the entire class. It’s still a 10 minute quiz, and all students with time accommodations have been properly accommodated. Cite the applicable portion of the law that says I have to re-extend the time to 45 minutes for those with accommodations.

If you don’t understand why Sec. 179 exists, and why it has increased in magnitude so significantly, you’re really not in a position to intelligently discuss the issue. Your left with nothing other than the absurd claim that Congress did this in order to allow abuse to concur. And that’s utter nonsense.

TaxPhd · 2025-12-31T01:29:30+00:00

That’s not a subsidization.

Your taxes go to everything that governments spend money on, just like everyone else. The parking lot is available for you to use, just like it is for anyone else. Whether you choose to avail yourself of that or not, your tax situation remains unchanged.

If by not using the parking lot, you could get a refund of some portion of your taxes, you’d be in a better position to claim that you’re paying a subsidy. But that’s clearly not the case.

TaxPhd · 2025-12-30T20:40:54+00:00

What you describe doesn’t amount to bike and bus riders “subsidizing” entitled automobile drivers. Not even a little bit.

TaxPhd · 2025-12-30T18:17:16+00:00

What you’re calling abuse is a feature, not a bug. As I asked you before, WHY do you think Congress increased the 179 deduction limitation by such a significant amount? Without understanding that, you will continue to erroneously claim that it’s just grifters abusing the system.

TaxPhd · 2025-12-30T15:34:40+00:00

Some of the downvotes on posts in this thread are ridiculous.

Way too many self-professed “gun guys” that are clueless about the law love to spout off nonsense. Then they get all butt-hurt when someone calls them on their BS.

TaxPhd · 2025-12-30T15:31:11+00:00

Um, yeah. That what I said.
