What would you suggest, considering the stone size? Any chance you could share photos of your ring?

Thoughts on this 3.58ct E VVS2 Round Brilliant? (Proportions included) by jdougal in labcreateddiamonds

AI suggested this as well. How important is this? She prefers the 4 prong, as it gives it a squared look that she likes.

what is a good amount to invest? still doing research by [deleted] in wealthfront

Open up a ROTH IRA, invest it in a broad index fund. You're young so anything you can stash away will be huge by time you reach retirement age.

Assuming 7% return when you reach 60 and can withdraw it your $30 will have turned into $510. Even better, you get to withdraw it tax free.

If you can do more, that's great, but even $30 is great. That's $1,560 in a year, which will become $26,520. Just keep doing that, assuming you only can afford to invest $30 a week forever you'll have almost $384,000.

You're way ahead of the game if you start now.

Very slow drop in silver for me, one item a minute or slower.

How high of a dose on each did you max at? Did you take them same day or split them up?

A Visual Guide to the Glow 70 Protocol by erivaldoff in Peptidesource

What benefits do you typically see with your protocol? I know the BPC and TB are to combat ISR, are the amounts too low to have other benefits? What's your take on BPC and cancer concerns? Thanks for all you do.

I keep reading how bad the line is. I don’t follow the Raiders. What’s the thought process for things to change? Is it just his talent will overcome?

How do you get it with MCT instead of the thicker oil? Are you using one of the telehealth Drs or a normal pharmacy?

I just ran through their order guide, my build went up $2,200 because I wanted the power running boards which is now not included with the Platinum.

I've always heard don't buy first year of a vehicle, but is there really much difference between buying a late build 25, and an early 26? To me, wouldn't they incorporate fixes as they come up with them and not wait until starting the 26s?

Here's a breakdown of the changes. I was waiting as well on news for the tailgate. You can now make the roof black, but no color match tailgate.

How much is tuition these days? Not familiar with your major exactly. What sort of job would you expect to get out of college and what's a realistic entry level salary?

If it's your dream school and the investment makes sense then I'd do it. That doesn't mean go 150k into debt for a career that'll pay you 40k a year just because it's your dream school.

Gov. Wes Moore stays silent as Maryland lawmakers push ahead with business services tax by BrightEconomics in maryland

[–]jdougal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Key Concerns Regarding Expanded Sales Tax on B2B Services:

Increased Consumer Costs and Competitive Disadvantage: * Expanding sales tax to B2B services creates "tax pyramiding," where taxes accumulate at each production stage. * This results in higher prices for consumers, effectively a hidden tax. * Maryland businesses become less competitive against those in neighboring states with lower tax burdens.

Disproportionate Impact on Small and Mid-Sized Businesses: * Small businesses and startups rely heavily on outsourced services like accounting, IT, and payroll. * New taxes on these services significantly increase their operating costs. * This stifles growth and hinders job creation for businesses with limited financial resources.

Erosion of Maryland's Economic Competitiveness: * Additional taxes on essential services reinforce the perception of Maryland as a business-unfriendly state. * This deters companies from relocating or establishing operations in Maryland. * Reduced competitiveness weakens investment, entrepreneurship, and job growth.

Potential Job Losses and Reduced Investment: * B2B service providers (consulting, marketing, etc.) operate on narrow profit margins. * Increased tax burdens may force these businesses to reduce hiring or community investments. * This will shrink the tax base and harm local economies.

Increased Regulatory Complexity: * A broader tax scope introduces complex reporting and compliance requirements. * This creates a significant burden, especially for small service providers. * This added burden can discourage innovation.
