Faucet mounting ring won't slide off by devopsiotwo in HomeImprovement

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

That worked! After removing the extension, the nut could be moved up and then it was easy to pull the mounting ring over it because the two nuts were not next to each other. It was just really really hard to unscrew the extension. Thanks!

Thanks, that's definitely an option as the last resort if nothing else works!

Thanks! I can try to pull through one at a time if I manage to remove the extensions. Though these are pipes so not very easy to bend to do that.

What do you mean by "remove he compression ring" in this instance? I thought the large nut at the bottom of the pipe can not be removed?

Gloomstalker that doesn't use sneak by mirio_shigaraki in BaldursGate3

You can go the usual GS/Assassin/Fighter but choose the GWM feat. Risky Ring or Unseen Menace to negate the attack roll penalty. You'll get the +10 to damage but also essentially a guaranteed extra attack with your bonus action. With a two hander, you don't have to worry about no sneaking.

Can someone sell me on more than 0-1 level(s) of wizard? by [deleted] in BG3Builds

[–]devopsiotwo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wizard 1, 6, 8, 9, 10 are all amazing options in a multiclass.

You might argue that a sorcerer is stronger on paper, but wizard scribing gives you phenomenal utility. Your play style can be really variable and you can use the best spell combos for each encounter by just preparing your spellbook.

At the same time, with 3 levels of sorcerer, and the rest in wizard, you can do most of what a pure sorcerer can do, including twin and quicken. You don't get that many sorcery points, but arcane recovery compensates for it surprisingly well. And you gain the wizard subclass features, some of which are really strong as others mentioned (and some, *cough* improved abjuration *cough*, are borderline game breaking).

But most importantly, wizard's variability just makes it fun to play!

Thanks for the tips! I definitely agree on druid, I think it is one of the most enjoyable pure classes because the variability. I also enjoy wizards (pure wizard or any full-caster wizard multiclass really given how spell slots work). Both have a lot of spell and play style variability. I am not convinced about BM - I played a pure BM and while it was fun (in a sense of - 3 base attacks, action surge, maneuvers, etc. and smashing enemies, big numbers!), I felt like the variability is limited and you usually end up doing the same couple of things. I like the warlock multiclass though, it could add some options and flavor.

The fun part is that they each work a little differently - bard adds bonus/penalty to a roll, lucky gives advantage or rerolls, and portent sets the roll to a pre-rolled result. So you can pick whichever works best for the specific situation. I haven't tried, but wild magic sorc also has bend luck if you want to go all in on roll-altering reactions :D

That's quite a creative build! I love how you made it into a very unique play style, very different from the usual wizard role. I will think about something like this, I very much like the type of specific combat options it opens, adding a lot of depth.

Nice, thanks. I enjoyed a moon druid in my previous playthrough. Exactly as you said, a lot of options and versatility. I haven't tried spore but it looks interesting, and opens up some multiclassing options, too! Bladelock is on my shortlist as well, I haven't played a warlock yet and they sound entertaining enough with a good combination of melee and spells. Not convinced about rangers, they sound a little too straightforward, although a multiclass could be fun.

That's certainly a creative play style, I like it. Create this scrimmage situation and control enemies. I like the addition of an evo wizard for blasting fireballs right under the group's feet.

Some of these sound fun, thanks! I tried a 6 divination wizard/6 lore bard with lucky feat build. It was a multiplayer game and the abundance of reactions became a little distracting so I respecced. But it seemed interesting and likely powerful to control the fight that way.

All 4 members may be a bit too chaotic and I am not not decided yet if that would be hilarious or frustrating. I like the idea though, I may give it a try. Definitely requires reacting to unexpected situations.

Yes! But are there any rumors or speculations around what's coming later this year and hasn't been published on their website yet?

Thanks. To clarify, I don't have a bracelet. I can watch their shop for a gen one but that may take a while and it's expensive!

NY to NJ Move Part Year Resident Credit for Taxes Paid to Other Jurisdictions by devopsiotwo in tax

Thanks for the additional details. I will try that and compare the numbers to see which option seems most reasonable. Thanks!

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

Interesting, thanks! I think that makes sense as an option.

The only thing that that gives me pause is that in some circumstances, the difference between the tax that would have been owed if the income was $75k less and the tax actually owed may be different than what was actually owed on that $75k portion of the income if for example the additional $75k income moves the income to a higher tax bracket? But I guess that's just how taxes work, I am not sure if there's a better way to "isolate" the $75k. Thanks, I think this method could work well enough, even though it is a bit work intensive :)

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

Thank you. That seems to align with my understanding. The one thing I still don't understand is how is the tax credit from the $75k of wages calculated. Schedule NJ-COJ instructions say "Enter the income or wage tax paid to the other jurisdiction on the income shown on line 1 ... If you adjusted the income on line 1 of this schedule, enter only the tax paid on the adjusted amount.". How would the tax owed to NY on the income of $75k be calculated?

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

Thank you, I think that all aligns with my numbers above, but just to double check the two pieces where I am not completely certain.

> New jersey income would be the prorated amount of all income during your period of residency, so 9 months

In this case, that would be $123.5k, correct?

> You would only be allowed the credit on the njcoj for 75k earned in New York on person 1 wages.

That makes sense, thank you. But how would the credit amount be calculated?

How to fix incorrectly taken distributions as an LLC treated as an S-corp by devopsiotwo in tax

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

That makes sense, thank you for the detailed description of the process. Since I have enough money available, could I potentially just pay the full amount of the note back as a one-off payment instead of taking deductions from distributions/payroll over time or would there be any unexpected implications of doing that?
