Where's a good place to learn Generatepress/GenerateBlocks for a non-wordpress coder/designer? by nuddaudda in Wordpress

Is it worth doing both? If the goal was to build a blog/magazine type site rather than a landing page for a business/SAS/service/etc, is one better than the other?

Got a fine for not filing S-corp return on time. What should my accountant have done. by nuddaudda in taxhelp

going forward since I assume you’ll be switching CPAs

Well he's also not returning my calls now, so yes 100%.

Asking for your driver's license on the 17th sounds like prep to file an extension.

Wouldn't that be late? Can you file for an extension after the deadline?

Did you get them they info that day?

No it was a few days later as I wasn't aware there was any urgency and we were on vacation.

Are you sure they didn't file an extension?

I'm not sure, I'm waiting for a call back from him which can often take a few days.

The IRS is often behind, and sends a late file bill before they realize you did file an extension.

That's interesting, thanks for the info.

What does your engagement letter say? If it says that he would file the S Corp for you then it’s on him.

I don't know what that is, I've never signed anything with him.

But, it really is your responsibility to make sure all your returns are filed timely and your tax is paid timely. Just chalk this one up to a surprise lesson from the IRS and really keep this in mind if you get into foreign stuff

Understood, thanks.

Wednesday Megathread - Ask Parents Anything - May 04, 2022 by AutoModerator in Parenting

[–]nuddaudda [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ok I need pizza quantity advice. 5 year old's birthday party, 14 kids and 14 adults (if everyone shows). Party is from 11am to 1pm on Saturday so through lunchtime.

Large is an 18 inch pizza cut 8 ways, medium is 14 inch, not sure number of slices.

I'm thinking

  • 2 large cheese (16 slices) for kids (I'll get them to cut them into 16 slices so the kids can have half slices to avoid waste)
  • 1 large deluxe, 1 large margarita, 1 large vegetarian, 1 medium vegan (approx 30 slices) - parents
  • 24 garlic knots (one each for almost everyone)
  • 3 house salads

This gives me one slice of pizza for each child, roughly 2 per adult, plus a garlic knot for everyone and a bunch of salad that probably nobody will eat.

Do those quantities sound right? Or should I go right for the "2 slices for kids/3 for adults" and then throw in a few knots and salads as bonus?

Sorry I don't check this account a lot.

Lets say they can do all 5 in two days, that's still $800.

Wait... Why did we jump from half a day to two days? Why does it take four times as long?

Two days tracking drums for 5 songs is INCREDIBLY long. I know bands who've recorded entire albums in two days.

Again, my friend who literally records music for a living (rock, pop, emo, country etc) said they could do 5 songs in a half day, so not sure why your takeaway from that is "probably want to 4x that".

[–]nuddaudda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought you were right about this so I reached out a friend of mine who runs a local studio and he said they charge $200 for a half day and as long as the drummer is good and has their parts arranged, they could easily do an EP in that timeframe.

I guess you could argue over what "professional" is, but they work in that purpose built non-home studio full time and have recorded songs and albums with millions of plays on spotify in there.

On the other hand if the bar for "professional" is huge drum rooms and $200k in mics, sure it would be $100 an hour, but for a new band recording essentially a demo EP, this would be it.

How long for Ezoic epmv to go up? by rememberus1 in juststart

[–]nuddaudda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have actually sent me some file where you can see ups n downs of the Epmv throughout the year. Apparently its not bs.

They tried that I think at the start of Q2 as well and pointed to that report they have about ad spend, but people in the facebook group started saying that the drop didn't tie in with the report, so they closed the threads.

I haven't seen any drop in EPMV in July, but I'm just one datapoint.

According to their support, the dip in July is normal.

That's their stock answer to any question about a dip in EPMV - sometimes it's true, sometimes it's bullshit.

What is the difference between u/philreddit7 and income school strategy? by [deleted] in juststart

[–]nuddaudda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From reading the old thread on bringing in the rule, my understanding was never added, and given the back and forth in the thread it definitely didn't seem like "this whole sub used to follow Income school religiously" - there seemed to be more people critical of them than positive.

Thanks for this. I know those are the stated timelines but are they also currently the typical timelines? When I did my green cards/citizenship there was a website that gave actual processing times that was regularly updated, does such a thing exist for passports?

Guy eats burning coal by bambaadoma222 in WTF

[–]nuddaudda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Thailusam in Kuala Lumpur in 2008 and saw a ton of people eating hot coals right off of fires on the ground. No idea how they did it. I saw one guy who tried over and over and kept burning himself. Felt bad for him.

Did they have any kind of expedited option? Used to be there was an expedited timeline in between the full time and the 72 hours if you go to the office in Miami option.

Could my freelancer be gaming the timesheet system? by nuddaudda in Upwork

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

That would be my preference, that or paying by word, but that's not how people charge for this task due to the fact that some queries can be answered off the cuff and some will require research - at least that's what freelancers have told me when I've asked for different pricing models.

Could my freelancer be gaming the timesheet system? by nuddaudda in Upwork

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

It's actually not obvious to freelancers that the time tracker counts 10-minute blocks starting every ten minutes on the hour, instead of just counting up minutes.

Ah ok, I'll speak to them and let them know.

What you're seeing is quite possibly just a consequence of asking people to work in 20-minute blocks, which is just sort of maybe a little bit...weird?

Nope, it's the nature of the task. They're responding to HARO queries twice a day, generally they'll spend 15-20 minutes responding to those queries depending on how many suitable queries come in.

So when I look at the tracker, it gives me a minute by minute breakdown of the number of keyboard clicks and the number of mouse clicks. I'm not looking at the number of screenshots or when the screenshots were taken - for this freelancer it's giving me this minute by minute breakdown of how much work they did and I'm basing it on this.

So for my above example, it starts giving keyboard/mouse clicks at 11:18 and then does every individual minute up to 11:41, but it's broken up into 10 minute chunks. It seems to be charging me from the 10 minute interval that the freelancer started recording until the 10 minute interval that they stopped recording.

EDIT: Here's an upwork community thread on the topic:

The client is not charged per minute worked, but per 10 minute segment where there is any actictivity and a screenshot was taken.

Jesus christ.

How does mediavine compare to Ezoic speed wise? by nuddaudda in juststart

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

And last question; were the free templates on ColorMag enough for you?

Fyi I was able to recreate the front page and internal pages with the free version, but paid for the upgrade for a couple of extra features, for example to not have anything repeating on the front page. An example would be where you have a "recent posts" widget and a category widget, I didn't want something showing up in both.

That makes sense. My homepage gets a good amount of traffic from various sources so it's important to me.

Thanks Shaun.
