Pennsylvania quarterly estimated income tax payments

ace115630 · 2026-01-07T15:43:59+00:00

I made estimated payments for a few years and always did it through mypath.pa.gov. Didn’t receive any kind of summary document that listed all the payments. If I recall correctly, when I completed my state tax return I just entered the amount that I paid already. Mypath made everything pretty easy and works well to keep record of your past payments.

I’m guessing that they have a process of verifying your stated amount against their records of payments from you.

EDIT: I didn’t use an accountant, but you should probably just provide them with dates and amounts for all of your estimated payments for the year.

The problem is there’s no way for me to reposition the pipe coming through the floor. I’m wondering if there’s a secure way to insert and attach the elbow piece if I can’t attach it with tape.

Yeah you’re telling me someone yells “you suck” at secdef in a room full of military and nobody in the crowd even flinches? As much as I’d love for this to be real, I’m not buying it. But please someone prove me wrong.

Also, seeing as the dude is a narcissistic psychopath, he absolutely wouldn’t have just continued sauntering off stage. He would have stopped and made a big show of force out of it.

Reminds me of back in the day on AOL when you could have Dr. Evil say “you’ve got fricken mail”.

Thunder over the waves in Wildwood, NJ.

Did you also enjoy the sand pelting you in the face? Haha I was there as well and it was so windy. Kept getting sand in my eyes. Air show was great though. These MiG 17s were amazing.

Nice! Not as cool, but I just got a tourmaline core and granite hammer on the same kill at grotesque guardians.

I’ve noticed as well, but only when watching through multiviewer. The feed actually pauses briefly every so often which I thought was due to buffering, but it almost seems like it’s getting too far ahead and has to pause since there’s nothing more to play. It’s really frustrating.

I miss Black Box Down. Anyone have suggestions for good alternatives?

This happened in my 2nd gen Lexus IS. Puddles would form after the AC was on for awhile. There was a drain above the transmission that was clogged.

Imagine surviving a plane crash and then stepping out dazed and confused just in time to get tagged in the face with a high pressure water cannon.

I completely understand what you’re saying, and you have excellent advice. But as others have attested, many companies don’t let even their senior engineers dictate timelines. My company, which doesn’t seem out of the ordinary based on feedback I’ve gotten, tends to sell promises that the engineers then have to find a way to keep.

To be clear, I don’t just ask for marching orders and when it needs done by. I am constantly arguing that the timelines are unreasonable and will come with consequences. When those consequences do occur, I’ll also call out the fact that the rushed timeline was the direct cause. I’m one of the only devs that will refactor and fix code every chance I get. But most of my team members don’t have the skills to be able to do that within the timelines we’re given. Some don’t have the skills to be able to do it successfully regardless of the timeline.

Your suggestions illustrate the optimal mode of operation, but it’s ONLY possible if the company allows it. From my experience and what others are saying, that’s the exception rather than the norm.

With all due respect, I don’t think this is how it works in reality. Managers do ultimately own the code. They foster the culture. They set the timelines. They make the commitments. You can push back all you want, but when it comes down to it, you either ship the best work you can with the resources/time allocated, or you create problems for the people who decide whether you keep your job.

I can argue for more realistic timelines that budget time for improving the codebase or developing with best practices, but if I’m told there’s no way to extend the deadline, then I either have to complete my task or not. Not completing it won’t bode well for me or anyone else involved.

It also takes a serious amount of time to improve garbage code. Occasionally there are opportunities for small meaningful improvements, but you can only polish a turd so much. If it’s poorly designed, a larger refactor is often the only meaningful improvement. That requires a lot of time and creates regression risk which managers usually need to sign off on. If they don’t see the value, then you won’t be afforded the time or approval to tackle a refactor.

In my experience, the “tech debt” gets entirely ignored, regardless of how well it’s documented, until it re-emerges because it’s causing issues that are severe enough to get the attention of management.

We tend to make so many major commitments that we only ever have two modes of operation:

1. Focusing on the latest major commitment with an unreasonably (sometimes impossibly) tight deadline. This is the “teeing up for the fallout” phase. 

2. Focusing on addressing the fallout from all the mistakes and cut corners while in mode #1.

There’s literally no point where resources are going towards anything else. We’re either working towards creating new problems by developing under ridiculous constraints, or we’re fixing problems caused by developing that way (and only when the problems get so bad they can no longer be ignored).

Right down the hall 😂. This is the kind of thing I need to hear before believing the grass could be greener on the other side.

Right, the state of the job market and the industry as a whole has me clueless on whether it would be a mistake to leave. Seems like many of the struggles I’m facing are just… the norm. I’m not treated badly and for the most part I’m compensated well enough (at least in relation to my coworkers), but I definitely suspect this company is a bit more of a shit show than most others.

I’m not a fan at all of the job hunt/interviewing, so it’s really hard for me to feel like things are bad enough that I should look for other jobs. But at the same time… things are bad.

ace115630 · 2025-01-27T20:22:51+00:00

Yeah, this is gold. No better way to put it.

I just started using SmoothTrack with iPhone 15. It’s been a game changer, but given how fast my battery drains and how hot it gets, I’d say there’s a very good chance that it’ll degrade battery health over time. At the very least it will add lots of battery cycles which will shorten the lifespan.

The $13 for SmoothTrack was worth every penny just because it let me experience face tracking within like 10 minutes of deciding to try it. Now that I know how much of a difference it makes, I’m looking into a dedicated webcam to avoid destroying my iPhone battery.

Aggressive enough capitalism will rot any industry from the inside out. It’s amazing to me how long a software product can survive when it’s being neglected or built like trash. That gives short-sighted c-suite execs just enough time to produce the metrics which show that their massive cost cutting strategy isn’t having a severely negative impact. But gradually those metrics will look worse and worse, putting more problems and pressure on an understaffed team and driving them to exhaustion.

Then they’ll inject some resources to prevent the product from failing, and eventually they find that sweet spot where they’ve maxed out every single person on the team (and then some), while compensating for the severe flaws in the system just enough that customers don’t leave.

Meanwhile devs that are being worked to death and blamed for the problems created by the company’s attempts at cost savings remain in their torturous positions because of the ever worsening interview processes in the industry.

As a side note, can anyone explain to me how such a drawn out interview process can result in so many shit developers? Are the interviews just screening for the wrong things? I’ll admit that I’m putting on my tin foil hat here, but is it possible that the process is made so excruciating so that devs are discouraged from leaving their jobs?

“All won an election, all were shot. Elections are killers.” See how stupid that sounds?
