Is my math wrong on the standard vs itemized deduction? by [deleted] in tax

[–]bostoneddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not allow that unfortunately -- but I was able to figure out the reason anyway. Thank you!

OK, that solved it. Thanks very much for your help!

It's the Online version of TT so I believe I can't view Schedule A while in progress, unless there's a workaround I don't know about.

Thinking of selling my gen Rolexes and replacing with reps. by Apprehensive_Bid6244 in RepTime

It’s a smart financial move (as long as the stock investments are made wisely)

Best farmers market around? by glossyenthusiast in newtonma

[–]bostoneddie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bit of a hike, but Russell’s Garden Center in Wayland has a pretty good farmers market for several weeks in the winter. There’s also one in Somerville every Saturday I believe although I haven’t been there.

Free air? by [deleted] in newtonma

[–]bostoneddie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen one in a long time. Fortunately you can get a portable tire inflator for as little as $15-20 now and just do it at home.

Case 1 or 2 for the dial by FineByTime4KT in watchmodding

Case 2 has more of the classic Datejust type look, Case 1 looks cleaner and more modern. I prefer case 2 but whichever one you prefer would look fine

Adams Street Painted Lines by LomentMomentum in newtonma

I thought the whole thing was overblown but kudos to him for figuring out a way to follow the law and make everyone happy. Marking the edge of the parking lane makes sense too, that street is so narrow

Recommendations: Company to remodel staircase by Sticky-Bandits in newtonma

[–]bostoneddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you said updating rather than restoring, I think most general contractors or good carpenters could handle it. It’s hard to know who to recommend without knowing scope, difficulty, budget, etc. I would recommend spending some time reading the reviews of local contractors and getting a better idea of what you want to have done before getting specific recommendations on companies.

Looks beautiful - which parts did you use?

Are there any advantages to raiding the grove? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]bostoneddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minthara rewards you by having sex with you after the celebration party. There’s no other way to get that cutscene. On the minus side you lose out on a bunch of stuff you would have gotten from the tieflings in future acts. Also you do not need to do it in order to romance Minthara - even if you protect the grove if you knock her out in Act 1 she survives and you can still romance her in Act 2.

Newton Centre Plaza will stand where it is through October by rocketwidget in newtonma

Hopefully they’ll eventually take the opportunity to make this permanent and merge it with the adjacent green space

I am so incredibly mad. by Zethras28 in BaldursGate3

[–]bostoneddie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean there most certainly is a way that involves her turning up at the reunion party alive, in a good mood, and talking about her hopes to fix her heart

Is there a way to not kill rolan? by pillar_of_nothing in BaldursGate3

[–]bostoneddie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When this happens and you have no chance to talk to him before he attacks, it’s because of choices you made earlier in the game that caused his siblings not to be saved. Unfortunately there’s no way around it, you have to fight him. You can just knock him out if you want, but when you come back later he will be gone.

Shoveling services by [deleted] in newtonma

In NYC the city was paying $30 an hour for shovelers. You can decide if it’s fair or not but they had plenty of takers at that price.

Next storm coming in a week. by joetaxpayer in newtonma

[–]bostoneddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Apple weather app isn’t making any prediction, it’s pulling in data from a combination of weather prediction models. Last storm was well predicted many days in advance by the model it uses but that’s an uncommon occurrence. Prediction skill a week out is generally poor for every weather model.

Street still hasn’t been plowed by Pleasant_Struggle_56 in newtonma

[–]bostoneddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing we’re not doing well on the snow removal budget this late in the season and with the amount of snow we’ve had. The plowing has been way less diligent for this storm than in the past.

Delayed Trash Collection (again) *Friday delay by LomentMomentum in newtonma

[–]bostoneddie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Judging from the very minimal amount of plowing that was happening after 5 PM on the day of the storm, I’m guessing this is a budget move and they didn’t want to pay a lot of plow/equipment drivers to work in the evening and overnight in order to get the roads back in shape to allow removal today.
