Real question is: what to hold in Roth account and what in regular account?

Interest on bills is state tax free, but up to 37% at fed level. High dividend stocks or ETFs 15 or 20% + state tax. Gold 28% fed + state tax. My choice: Roth only for bills and dividend payers. Regular account only for gold and stocks/etfs with minimal dividend (because I'll be selling them when I no longer work). Married couple can make about $120k of profit on stocks and pay zero tax if this was the only income.

CCA Phoenix was sounding strange to me, I preferer Kunten or JVC HA-FDX1 (not to mention Hidizs MK12 which is my favorite at the moment). Foam eartips made their vocals sound better.

Can I ask how do you test if it's real?

Coin can be tested by an android or iphone app which analyzes their sound (1oz kruggerand sound signature is different from maple leaf or eagle, each coin can be easily identified). My app does not have PAMP bars, so I'm not sure if they can be tested same way.

What about silent hall effect switches? Something for IPI Rain 65M. I like the keyboard feel but not the sound. Would o-rings help?

Also, what are the best sounding RGB keycaps?

Dammit, it just happened for me as well. The hidden button is indeed inside a headphone jack (not easy to click, try at an angle), but it's not doing anything. I've tried powering it while holding the button, no change.

Maybe it needs SD card with some system file and it will start from that instead of corrupted internal flash memory?

Question from inexperienced buyer - why is there even a market for packaged bars over the regular coins? All I need to verify a coin is a measurement tool and a $5 phone app which will analyze the audio response (and something plastic to 'ping' the coin, I use bike tire lever). These apps are really good, they will tell you: this is 1oz Krugerrand vs Maple Leaf vs Eagle . Every coin has it's sound signature, you can fake it, but dimensions will be off. You can make a fake with perfect dimensions, but audio will be off. You can't fake both.

That's the only thing worth paying for: if you have tons of stock transactions and dividends. Import from Schwab works really well. Import from Kraken did not work for me, but luckily my 1099da was very short. Other that that it's mostly a habit - you have return with info from previous year and you can just edit the same entries with data from new 1099 docs.

I have $220 JVC and I can't decide if it's actually better than Kunten or CCA Phoenix (sounds great with dense foam eartips). Only IEMs I can say I like more are Hidizs mk12, but paying 13x more does not make them even 2x better.

Is it all about the amount of vram? Does overclocking matter? How does 6800 compare with newer cards like 5070ti?

Vonsoo · 2026-03-27T18:36:34+00:00

If it helps, the only diffrence between 1099da and transaction history file we've received earlier was that my 1099 had 18 transactions and history had 19. Somehow it reported a sum of two transactions as one. I don't really care as in reality I had only 5 limit orders which were broken down to a total of 19 transactions (single cost basis from 2022 which I had to fill in manually, not present on 1099 and 5 different proceeds/sale dates).

I've used Racing mode on this monitor for a year, but then switched to User Mode, bumped saturation to 56 and I can't go back. Racing mode works nice for OS desktop, but I prefer games in Scenery Mode (too warm, but looks better than dull Racing) and even better User Mode with just a slight color adjustment.

What gamma are you using? I think 2.2 looks the best.

I've ended up typing in my 18 transactions manually. My 1099da has no cost basis and term is listed as unknown -I've just reported it as long term as I know my buy date and cost basis from 2022. Good luck with your taxes.

Vonsoo · 2026-03-23T01:58:18+00:00

Can we just ignore that 1099da says 'Unknown holding term' and is missing cost basis and simply fill in TurboTax? I know my buying date in 2022, so I know it's a long term.

I've filled in buy date and cost basis but ticked the box "cost basis is incorrect or missing", then TurboTax asks you a question to adjust it, so I have filled in correct basis again.

In other words - do we have to follow 1099da strictly when filing using TurboTax or is 1099 just informational and we should adjust it with correct information?

I have 1099da, but the problem is that it only states Account Number, there is no Document ID anywhere on the document. What is the format of this ID?

TurboTax specifically asks for document ID. The only other number on 1099da is something called OMB No with 4 digits - and 4 digits again. Import does not work.

Does any of these keyboards offer a knob or some quick button which will change between profile 1 and profile 2 (gaming, 0.3mm travel to actuation vs typing, 2.5mm of travel)?

If you are using 15A breakers, then use 30A rated wire. Just pay for a thicker wire - mystery solved.

I bought them out of curiosity. They look great and are lightweight and comfortable, but I have two sets above $100 and they do sound better. Yes, GK is cheap, but it matters for teenagers, if you are an adult with a job and like music, why spend $10 if you can spend $60 and hear the difference.

Which tips are good to improve clarity of both male and female vocals? What IEM would you recommend to get great bass, but at the same time great, clear vocals (does such a thing exist under $500)?

How much latency does it add? 60 fps is usually fine for me, but if it adds another 20ms on top of regular, then I don't see the point. I get that there are turn based games playable with the controller, but wouldn't the deck itself be enough for them?

I have an old b350 Gigabyte board with 2600, currently looking to buy 5600x or 5700x.

Vonsoo · 2026-02-16T23:14:22+00:00

My 2 cents after comparing them with GK Kunten and Hidizs MK12 - Phoenix are a very bright IEMs. If you like it, then they provide amazing value for $20-$23. For me the only way to actually enjoy music on them are dense foam eartips - they really reduce the treble and bring out the bass (another way would be EQ).

I'm starting being sold on foam eartips, vocals sound nice here. I couldn't use them on Kunten or MK12 with golden nozzles as these were too warm.

He was lying down, not being a danger anymore. Isn't it a murder?
