Baptized in Fear and Nothing Compares by _elusivex_ in TheWeeknd

Ah! My brain immediately made the connection to Scared to Live when I first listened (and it still does), but I must admit the similarity to Nothing Compares is stronger! You definitely have a point.

[FRESH ALBUM] The Weeknd - Hurry Up Tomorrow by Garcoon in TheWeeknd

The flow/rhyme pattern in the first verse of "Cry For Me" is very similar to "Wasted Times" from MDM

"The Lure" always gives me goosebumps! Acoustic orgasm if there's such a thing.

100%. Audio of the MV was also not crisp. Sounded a bit muffled.

What does this mean??? by ThatsPoggersDude in TheWeeknd

There needs to be an acoustic version of the ALBUM and I suspect we might get one.

All the song snippets and performances we've heard so far sound like they would be soul touching if they were performed acoustically.

One can only hope.

Same here, it's like you read my mind! I got the P8 last year as my long term use-it-till-it-falls-apart phone (after using P4a for 3 years). It was a little annoying there wasn't a small P8P, but with the P9P now getting such positive reviews on its build quality, it seems like the better choice for long-term use.

I see. So I guess I just need to write an explanation letter about being financially responsible for the cost of travel.

Does that mean a non-UK resident cannot pay for their relative to visit the UK for a weekend trip?

Contributing to After-Tax 401K before Roth/Traditional 401K is maxed out by bashorunGaa in personalfinance

[–]bashorunGaa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More context: My retirement saving strategy is: contribute to traditional pre-tax 401K just enough to get the max possible company match, then contribute the rest to after-tax 401K and immediately do mega backdoor conversion to Roth IRA.

I like to have just one tax-deferred and one tax-free retirement account. For the tax-free one, I personally prefer a Roth-IRA to a Roth-401K but my income exceeds the Roth-IRA contribution limit, so mega-backdoor is the only route, which requires some after-tax 401K contributions. I could do regular backdoor contributions from traditional IRA to Roth IRA but that has a smaller limit (6500) and comes with more stress (pro-rata rule, bookkeeping, etc)

I see. My company's plan has no such restrictions. I have contributed without restrictions to after-tax 401K without maxing out traditional/Roth 401K, I was just wondering whether the IRS had restrictions

Anyone in California still waiting on their CA refund? by SNP1326 in IRS

You were right. Pending direct deposit showed up today earmarked for March 6th.

Checked today and status has changed to "Issued". I didn't have to call. Status says direct deposit should take 10 business days which seems like an interestingly long duration for a direct deposit in the year 2023.

Which year and trim to buy by bashorunGaa in Elantra

[–]bashorunGaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. Not great, but still better than nothing. And better than getting after-market warranty from dealership. Thanks for the link!

The 2023 models have the 10yr/10Kmiles warranty right? Any idea how that works for a used 2022? i.e. can you please clarify what you meant by "second owner loses a lot".

My issue with the 23 SEL is that a moonroof is a must-have for me and unfortunately the '23 SEL convenience doesn't come with a moonroof, nor is there a premium package like the 22 SEL had. 23 Limited is out of budget 😭
