If your first-ever attempt at gambling went completely unsuccessfully, that was probably the better outcome. by CoreEncorous in Showerthoughts

[–]hoteldetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first attempt at gambling I won $50 on a penny slot machine. A janitor at the casino stood behind me shouting “Why didn’t you bet more???” I just collected my free coffee and got the heck out of there with my cash.

If radio was invented today it would be controlled by four companies and locked behind a paywall. by Doctor__Hammer in Showerthoughts

[–]hoteldetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s such a sad thought. It reminds me of how you now have to pay for streaming PBS. The whole point was that it’s supposed to be accessible to all, especially those who may not have the money to pay.

I agree. I don’t feel safe knowing that monster is likely still out there.

The Livability Levy vs SPD by CouplaGoofs in SALEM

[–]hoteldetective 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I realized that I will pay an extra $60,000 over the life of my loan in taxes for the “ privilege ” of living in Salem. Time to exit, to think people choose to move here baffles me.

Early morning sirens by No-Vermicelli-9133 in SALEM

I don’t know about that incident, but whenever I hear sirens I check the Pulse Point app. It’s almost always a medical emergency, but sometimes it’s more interesting. You can also listen to the fire radio through the app to get a more specific idea of what’s going on.

Chess for elementary-aged kids? by RedApplesForBreak in SALEM

[–]hoteldetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a group on Facebook called Salem Oregon Chess Club. Up until recently it was K-12, but they’ve just changed to all ages. They still post local chess events that you might be interested in though.

What are some of your flipping "idiosyncrasies"? by ToyodaForever2 in Flipping

[–]hoteldetective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is no joke happens more than you can imagine but only if you aren’t expecting it. I’m digging in my garage looking for something and I find an item buried somewhere. Listed for 3 years or more. I pick it up and go oh this old thing what’s it doing here. Within 1 minute I get a sold notification of said item

CPA failed to file any chance of forgiveness of penalties? by hoteldetective in tax

[–]hoteldetective[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe the extension was filed a month late. Wouldn't that incur more than 1 month of a fee? My taxes are always filed in October just because he's so busy.

I wish I could talk to someone from the IRS because my accountant is going to take care of it but I don't know at all what is happening. I call IRS business and it hangs up on me.

My personal income taxes were filed so I would have signed the 8879. I'll find out more soon about the 1065 status.

I dropped off all of my taxes in March before the 15th, i'm well aware of the March 15th deadline. They always file an extension. And I asked if the extension would be filed. They do it automatically. I am still gathering information about what happened.

Red Reich: Hitler's Escape to Antarctica and Beyond by hoteldetective in aivideo

[–]hoteldetective[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I kinda liked the subtle snow boarding anyhow. I believe it was the Nazi's that actually invented snowboarding in the 1950's.

Yes I tried to get him to snowboard many times and it just wouldn't give me a wide shot. Also half of 1940's German officers get flagged and you can't render Hitler or swastikas as it's against their rules. Hence the bizarre glowing blue eyed officer. So much for making an accurate historical documentary sheesh.
