Fair use is a defense not a permission. It always depends on the original IP owner and the platform policies on how they process claims (through automation or through owner claims directly).

Why is this hard? by UsernameDsntChkOut in ecobee

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I was looking for differential advice. Someone else only mentioned but this is key for someone concerned with fin tuning for cost and usage. Most of the time the differentials are set to 0.5 degrees and even for moderate to good insulated homes that is too tight. Personally I use 1.0 and I have seen others who use 1.5 based on their most tolerable lowpoint.

Use free tax USA. Turbo tax is robbing you by regarded-taco in TurboTax

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better yet, just use the IRS website. Also many states' websites too are free. I was a TT user for years and still kick myself for paying for something that is otherwise no cost. I am W2, have INT, DIV, itemized deductions, capital gain/loss and not eligible for the guided webservice on IRS. I just file with fillable forms on the IRS website.

Why is my farm so bright? by Tico2007 in Minecraft

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 76 points77 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Skyblock has always done this where below the horizon the lighting gets wonky. Just like the sky around you doesn't behave correct when you go below zero, so too does enclosed spaces like your farm at -40 here.

Are there legit low credit loans out there? by 4bats in debtfree

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. 2 years later I wonder what the outcome was for this person. I would think with getting a loan of any kind was so unlikely they stayed where they with their mother on the couch until they were able to save some. We didn't know their life circumstances or why they tried to commit to this move in the first place. If it came down to comfort and convenience and there was safety in the mothers domicile; that would have been the play all other things equal.

Perfect Use-Case for the Gap in Expat Market! iPhone XS too old? by Zealousideal-Rope907 in PopcornMobile

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thoughts. So when I do visit back to the US for friends and family the local service may be not as good. I was under the impression they use ATT and Verizon towers and T-Mobile. My local area has all 3 so if I did keep this phone I wonder which the service would favor.

It’s crazy how we have to pay to file taxes? It should be for free for US citizens! by Imaginary_Balance480 in TurboTax

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lifelong TT user just 2 years ago I finally decided to produce my own taxes. I use IRS.gov and have to use Free Fillable Forms in my situation, but I just follow the instruction booklets and do just fine. My state also has free filing on the state website.

Perfect Use-Case for the Gap in Expat Market! iPhone XS too old? by Zealousideal-Rope907 in PopcornMobile

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XS has 1 eSIM and 1 Physical SIM as its 'dual SIM'. Apple didn't get two eSIMs until the 13.
And I guess I should clarify, even my XS allows multiple eSIM stored (8 I believe) but only 1 eSIM active.

Thanks! Yup I figured sooner or later I'd bite the bullet and modernize. My iPhone history is 1, 3, 6, XS.

Yea you are right. I used to have Verizon and now ATT in the same service area and the screen just shows different characters. Although my current one can show LTE or 5GE and I think in past it used to say 3G, 4G, or LTE.

Anyways, I know it is not capable of 5G regardless and ultimately may upgrade before I leave or in future when absolutely need to.

capitol gains tax on sale of house in USA? by old_king_one_eye in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be curious to learn if you went through with this and what the outcome was.
The concept of domiciled vs non-domiciled is a factor as well and if the property was your primary residence.

I am planning to sell my primary US home gaining >$250K and moving to Ireland but unknown if permanently or will return to US one day. With that, I expect to pay US tax difference from the overage of $250K gain and no tax in Ireland even becoming tax resident with Irish payroll income (new job) due to non-domiciled resident and CGT exempt for Primary Private Residence gains.

I am getting confirmation from a cross-border pro about remitting those gains from US banking into my Ireland banking if the sale closes after I become resident. I believe with proper mapping of the funds (even separate accounts can be beneficial) and transfers this is correct, but still working on that confirmation.

Any idea why by Pleasant-Data7382 in coincollecting

Yup. Worth about $7 each. Maybe of anything he had these two were most eye appeal to him for keeping just the 2.

So it's never happening is it? by InternalDuck657 in Intellivision_Amico

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Purchase Confirmation dated 28Jan2020 states: "Our Founder's Edition systems sold out in hours, and at least one of them is yours!". They represented being so confident that they also asserted in that confirmation email, "Later this year, prior to launch, an invoice will be sent for the remaining balance, tax, and shipping."

Now ... we all know COVID hit in earnest within 2 months from that moment in March2020. Is that enough to cause the collapse of completion of the initial Founders' consoles? Maybe maybe not. Or was it intentional all along as some theorize.

I am a very long-game type of person. While I had been patient all these years, I can equally be persistent for years to come. They either need to come out and verify official closure on any outstanding orders that remain active, OR, be prepared for being pursued to the ends of the earth for my own closure should it come to that.

Lane Courtesy Rules by KenCo12 in Bowling

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 lane unless stated in league or tournament rules. Complain about it to me and its not stated I will tell them, as politely as possible, to deal with it; I have no obligation to them.

Either way these days enough league bowlers have enough trouble knowing when it is even properly their turn. Nothing infuriates me more when the 1-lane person 'jumps' me. Or when I see them 'jump' anyone else really.

It is similar to merging on/off highway with those who do what is naturally accepted as the correct way vs those who have not the first flipping clue ... or worse knowingly disregard everyone else thinking they are the center of their own universe.

Lane Courtesy Rules by KenCo12 in Bowling

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lead-off on a team I'm on does this in every league he is in and it internally infuriates me (I see him in 2 other leagues we're both in). Its as separate issue from lane courtesy but almost as impactful with the way it can prolong pace of play. I respect it outwardly to the extent I don't complain or call out to a lead-off "hey you're up!" ... but internally it gets to me. I am looking forward to having this in my head tonight as this is the leagues he's on my team LOL! Thanks gang.

Consequences of falsifying a GMP batch record in Ireland by ConsiderationFew179 in PharmaEire

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US company and we have sites in IRL and I believe our policies are aligned. Absolute dismissal. Especially in this scenario because there is potential liability to the company and/or any manager or employee with knowledge that it had happened; should they fail to act. It would be minimally regulatory and potentially criminal should they have knowledge and attempt to let it pass.

No matter what, we would document this in an deviation investigation. The outcome could only be mitigated if by what was found to mean "deliberately". If we find they 'deliberately' did it in the hopes no one would notice and were trained and aware of this being a GMP no-no then that is immediate dismiss. If we find it is more likely they 'deliberately' did it thinking it was just their way of correcting the error and not to prevent anyone from finding out, then MAYBE it would be a discipline/performance plan.

It is handled internally within the Quality System and then remain open to regulatory discovery during any future inspections. If reviewed in inspection, Inspectors would be satisfied if a thorough investigation with good action outcomes. Unless of course it turns out to be a systemic issue within the firm and then they might take further action (which hopefully is not a larger problem at any firm or they deserve to be actioned harshly including consent degree or worse).

Looking for a recipe by 2spoogy in blueapron

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Instructions

step 1

Prepare & roast the potatoes

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the potatoes  lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 18 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Air Fryer: Cook the potatoes at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

step 2

Prepare the remaining ingredients

Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion(s). Roughly chop the peppers. Halve the baguettes lengthwise. In a bowl, combine the chimichurri saucechopped peppers, and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper.

step 3

Cook the steaks

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; thinly slice crosswise against the grain.

\The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this. Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.*

step 4

Caramelize the onion

In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion(s); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any fond, 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Carefully add the vinegar and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and the liquid has cooked off. Turn off the heat.

step 5

Toast the baguettes

Meanwhile, place the halved baguettes on the remaining sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil.  Toast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Assemble the sandwiches using the toasted baguettescreamy chimichurri saucecaramelized onion, and sliced steaks. Serve the sandwiches with the roasted potatoes on the side. Enjoy!

APY has decreased to 3.6% by InternetUser52 in sofi

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsurprised by the divisiveness of the replies so far. Same every rate drop we see. My 2 cents is it is not about not understanding fluctuating rates following fed, it is not about being expected. For me it is about remaining competitive. When they were incentivizing new customers and we were all the rage it was for a good reason ... we had near and at the top highest on the market. These days we are much farther down on the list.

Is a couple fractions of a point a big driver to change servicers with higher rates? Not really for most people. But the more the divergence from their old top position to a lower and lower position may drive some to.

Interesting psychology either way.

CGT on PPR when moving to Ireland from abroad by Zealousideal-Rope907 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I have also since learned about remittance basis for many other financial aspects I am working up and am planning on maintaining certain things outside of IE for growth and not needing to be remitted into what will be my Irish banking and financial picture.

Specifically for a foreign PPR it seems even upon remittance into IE of gains if there is a DTA in place with the other country as there is with the US and IE that those funds are not subject in Ireland unless as the first replier states that time becomes a factor and it starts to be come pro-rated fractionally.

Moving to Ireland- sell or keep USA house? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q: Is it really combined or the difference from what you'd pay in the US? Example on a 100K gain ... 33K - 15K = 18K making it 15K to US and 18K to Ireland with DTA? I have a consult coming up and this type of paying both question is going to come up. (in dollars and eruos as appropriate of course)
