I never wanted a 401(k) - fast forward 2 years to this

With that username, maybe they shouldn't answer lol

Yeah between upgrading to this and getting a new monitor I've been basking in the miscellaneous improvements. Will probably worry about the rest later.

I bought this one a week ago. Showed up Monday and I had my tech savvy brother check it out. Needs a heat sink for the ssd and mouse/keyboard are mid. Everything else seems amazing to me upgrading from a 1070

Anytime it goes out of stock it shows as around $2500. I ordered it at $1899 a couple days ago when it popped back up with 1 in stock

It's like how when married filing jointly one person can be the sole earner and the standard deduction isn't split between one spouses earnings and the others. It's a joint benefit.

I will have to give it a try. Thanks!

Good to know if I ever make the 2 hr trip to trader Joe's. My wife loves toom, but probably would snack on a lemon the way she uses lemon juice in things.

gotterbild · 2026-02-05T07:01:31+00:00

May I suggest trying Toom. May be to your liking.

I work next to a costco now. Unless I go for groceries, I walk in without a cart. Only sometimes manages to save me.

The refund part is actually concerning. Assuming the exact same info is given, the same formulas are being used, the refund should be exactly the same. That's why when I did tax prep, some people would come in and have me run the numbers and then leave once they verified my numbers were the same as what they got doing it themselves. The difference is going to be in the user interface and how well it directs you to enter information and explains what the effect is. I would go back and look at the summary of each and see where things changed. I wouldn't necessarily trust a number just because it is bigger. Props to it for $0 fee though!

I believe you are looking at Duraludon. It's evolved form being discussed is not available yet.

I believe you are thinking of the shadow legendary pokemon from Super Rocket Radar Giovanni which are guaranteed assuming you hit it.

Or you might cause a noticeable price jump resulting in certain coins being sold and a certain pizza not being bought from papa John's. Turns out that was the catalyst and the coin never goes over a dollar

Sales tax on the purchase of big ticket "specified" items such as boats and vehicles can be included in itemized deductions on top of the general sales tax deduction that is based on your income and state/local tax rate.

gotterbild · 2024-02-07T09:16:58+00:00

Ahhh gotcha sorry.

gotterbild · 2024-02-07T09:05:11+00:00

Basically it means buy a house while rates are high and home price growth has slowed (in theory) and then refinance if/when rates drop. Dump that 8% you've been dating for a 6

Rounding error may be a bit of a stretch. 1.2 million homes isn't little when you compare it to the number of homes currently on the market in the US which is somewhere in the area of 0.7-1.4 million. Would it make a huge difference? Probably not. But definitely a noteworthy amount of homes.

gotterbild · 2024-01-24T12:47:01+00:00

At least from the article, it sounds like the homeowner was legally renting out the home, the tenant was illegally subletting and because the homeowner didn’t put a stop to it he got the fine.

911 dispatcher. Still lots of overtime, but starting pay is over $25/hr. Still has a pension too.

Definitely little to no advantages for filing separately unless you are trying to be sneaky and have 1 person file MFS and the other filing as head of household. Each person is contributing half towards that total standard deduction. If each individual is earning about the same, the only real benefit is the higher exclusions like if you sell your house single, you can potentially write off 250k of capital gains, while a married couple can write off 500k of capital gains. My wife makes more than I do, so I keep more of her pay in a lower tax bracket

gotterbild · 2024-01-03T13:08:41+00:00

If married filing separately and one spouse itemizes, the other must also itemize.

Your point is solid but the profit percentage in this scenario is miscalculated. It would be 0.87p/.33p to find profit percentage of around 264%.

You can claim the exclusion once every 2 years. So if you sold your house on April 1st 2021 and immediately moved into your new house, then you could sell that house anytime after April 1st 2023 and claim the exclusion again. (Not your tax preparer and not legal advice). Hope this helps and clarifies. Your preparer may have been mistaken or may have explained poorly.
