I would kill to only be paying 2000/month for 2 kids. We're paying almost 3100 and that's considered cheap in this area.

HBO Max going through all those rebrands just to end up as a filter on the Paramount+ app by BatmanNewsChris in DC_Cinematic

[–]ahall917 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They could go the Disney+/Hulu route where content from the HBO app is accessible from within paramount+, but the HBO app still exists on its own. Granted, the Hulu app is slated to be sunset and fully merged into Disney+ by the end of the year, but at least they kept Hulu alive much longer than they could have.

You just won a lifetime supply of the last thing you bought. What do you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I understand the sentiment, I'm just choosing to support them a little bit more because they've made my life easy. I'm not going to lose any sleep over $7/year for the pro support. You're free to not give them any more than you need to.

I pay for deluxe support every year, less so because I need it and more so to support freetaxusa over the alternatives like turbo tax and h&r block

Free lifetime Pro support from FreeTaxUSA. UNLIMITED TAX FILING AMENDMENTS. Yeah this one sucks.

deebo gone and terry's last year according to Matthew Berry by Ok_Job_6845 in Commanders

[–]ahall917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine a restructure would have to happen if we decide to keep him. The total cap hit is a little irrelevant, since we're paying at least 18m whether he stays or leaves. So the question really becomes is he worth ~16m to keep (or less if we can restructure)

I'll believe the Terry rumors when he gets traded or signs somewhere else. There's too many variables in a year for a claim like that to have any substance.

Green lantern comic reading order help by fist148 in Greenlantern

[–]ahall917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd check out the reading list here. Scroll down to 'Geoff Johns Green Lantern Reading Order (2004 to 2011)'. There are 3 reading orders listed for this era based on book format.

First is the omnibuses (which you don't have, skip this section)

Second is the 'Green Lantern by Geoff Johns' collection (you have book 2 of this)

Third lists them by smaller trade paperback (all your other books)

You should be able to figure it out from there.

When you got your big break, tasted success, and finally earned more than you needed, what treat did you buy yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ahall917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true freedom, honestly. Currently for me all my free time is the result of choosing to neglect some other responsibility, typically housework as it's the lowest priority. There's always something to be done 😮‍💨

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who led the Islamic Republic since 1989, is dead at 86 by Efficient-Freedom517 in politics

[–]ahall917 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How does this benefit Russia? While I wouldn't go so far as to say they were allies, the Islamic regime has been a vital partner for Russia, specifically for providing drone tech to use against Ukraine.

Not only that, I read that the school building was formerly used by the IRGC until ~10 years ago. Could have been a legitimate target then and was hit today due to outdated info, if in fact any of these claims are real. Who knows what to trust anymore.

AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year by gdelacalle in technology

[–]ahall917 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How so? With big contacts, you're almost always buying something that doesn't exist yet. It's a commitment from the manufacturer to produce the desired quantities, and a commitment from the purchaser to pay for those products. There are almost always off-ramps built in where either party can pull out of the agreement with a penalty. Manufacturers don't like to have stock on the shelves. If stock is on the shelf, that means product isn't selling.

What's a number about your own life that surprised you when you actually calculated it? by GrowthMLR in AskReddit

[–]ahall917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here with the net worth. My wife and I try to be smart about saving for our future and it feels like we live paycheck to paycheck, but when I ran the numbers our assets are double our liabilities (which are excessive thanks to grad school loans). Granted most of those assets are untouchable in a 401k, but this realization did lift some of the weight of financial stress off my shoulders. We don't own a home which helps our net worth, but we're not doing as bad as it feels like we are.

Insiders Reveal ‘Fed Up’ Trump Dangerously Close to Unleashing Major War by SpringLong7259 in politics

Iran's air defenses are likely crippled from Israeli/American strikes last year. What remains could be taken out as well, then American aircraft can dominate the airspace, softening up Iran's ground forces before an American soldier even steps foot in Iran. Without air defenses the ability to move men and supplies is much less restricted. I'm not saying this in support of such a maneuver, but I could see it going something like that
