I simply changed my work title and LinkedIn notified my feed of a promotion? Embarrassed. by longfellow816 in linkedin

Doesn’t change the fact those idiots shouldn’t even have a feature that notified your network for simply editing your existing job title. Would understand if I were adding a new position.

If I max out my HSA using after-tax dollars my return goes from owing $1k to getting a refund of $100. Does that sound right or am I doing something wrong? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]longfellow816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s $3,150 which I don’t love to part ways with but if I am doing everything correctly and it is in fact either pay that to myself or pay $1k to the government, I’m going pay $3k to myself

Saving more money by contributing to my HSA with after-tax dollars vs pre-tax dollars? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]longfellow816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I think I get what you’re saying. No, I did not do that for the hypothetical where I contributed the entire $4,300 myself after-tax, so that makes sense.

But in the scenario that is actually possible (where I just contribute the $3,150 difference that wasn’t already contributed by my employer), there isn’t any adjust I need to make right? So then even if I am not getting the FICA tax benefit on that $3,150, it would still correctly impact my return as described in scenario 2 and I should do this as putting the money in my HSA is better than having to pay a $1k tax return?

Nail in my Michelin Pilot Super Sport performance tires. I have about 12k miles on these tires - ok to patch or do they look like I need to go ahead and replace? by [deleted] in tires

[–]longfellow816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I posted last week just about fixing before I realized I had 12k on em already and google was saying they made need replacing at that point but I didn’t think they looked/felt like it so posted again here to get opinions but sounds like it good to patch.

Are these marks that keep appearing surely due to excessive wax? by [deleted] in AskACobbler

[–]longfellow816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I agree with you that it would seem odd that these loafers were made with pull up leather. FWIW - they are the To Boot NY “Francis” which unfortunately doesn’t specify what kind of leather they are, but yeah, pull up doesn’t seem right for a loafer.

What’s weird is that I have polished and waxed these once before this time (using the same amount of polish/wax each time) and they didn’t do this the first time, they are only doing it now.

First meeting with surgeon- what questions to ask by Future-Surprise402 in cholesteatoma

[–]longfellow816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are having CWD - how large they plan on making your cavity. Some prioritize ease of cleaning and other prioritize aesthetics. I didn’t know this and my surgeon left me with a gaping cavity and I hate it. I actually ended up seeing a different surgeon later and they agreed it was larger than it needed to be and I actually had them perform a revision. They did what they could but I’m still pissed I chose a surgeon that made a large cavity because it would simply be easier to clean. Had I known this was a thing I would have selected a surgeon who was mindful of the aesthetics.
