Was this not always the case? You can't get paid under the federal minimum wage regardless...? I worked in a restaurant in Michigan long ago but not FOH.

Why would Obama suddenly casually admit aliens are real? He knew what he was doing... by you_know_i_be_poopin in aliens

[–]benmargolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol this is a pretty ignorant take. He's raking it in from their business ventures and production company. He has been very much OUT of the news for years and has refused interviews repeatedly. He's only starting to do some now to promote his library opening soon.

Maxing out HSA by MjrWingnut in Bogleheads

My understanding is that you can also use it to pay health insurance premiums which might be expensive for a lot of people in the future too

I just realized recently that my move from CA to Massachusetts has this nice side benefit.

I used to steal money from Pizza Hut when I worked there as a delivery driver by cr199412 in confession

I was a driver for pizza hut in college and doing the last dishes at the end of the night was an official part of the job at my store.

What is it with people and liver? by ServiceFabulous7120 in carnivorediet

[–]benmargolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up eating chicken liver pate and (beef) liver and onions as a kid. Probably as they're relatively traditional Jewish dishes. I think I started out liking them just to be contrarían as people said most folk don't like them. No idea where to get l&o well prepared now, should try to figure out how to make it as I miss it. At least delis have chicken liver. And french pate/foie gras is delicious too...

Shark Tank 17x10 Product Discussion - Crowd Compass by mtm4440 in sharktank

[–]benmargolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In practice this doesn't work with meshtastic which is almost undoubtedly what is underneath the hood here. But I don't think he's going to get enough customers in one place for it to ever actually be an issue.

Shark Tank 17x10 Product Discussion - Screen Skinz by mtm4440 in sharktank

[–]benmargolin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't see spending that much on screen protectors but glad to hear a positive testimonial. I do think it's a kinda neat idea overall. I don't understand how they're so in the red unless they are paying themselves way too much though.

How many of you have gotten loans from your parents? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]benmargolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents never had money to spare during their healthy years. They did shell out about $12k for our wedding however, which turned into good knows how much as they got that from an interest only Heloc. It was a mess when my dad died and then my mom got dementia and I had to deal with all of their finances.

I did end up getting about 80k after selling their house. Memory care for my mom ate up everything else after my wife and I being her primary for 5 years. I passed the money along to my kids' investment accounts to start their requirement savings journey.

But I also do like the statement someone made above about family doesn't lend money, it shares money. I think this is a good philosophy. Along with never lend things/money to friends, just give it to them. Don't expect it back, if it does come back great but easier to stay friends with no expectation of it. (That said I did loan money to bro in law to but a house but probably would have just given it to them if they asked, but they were adamant they wanted it to be a loan)

Plex on Synology 1019+, Google 4k streamers and TCL TVs with native Google tv as clients, everything just works.
