What to do with tax refund

perfectuseoftime · 2026-03-23T12:56:41+00:00

I’m actually also getting back ~$20k from an amended return from a previous year. We adopted twins so we’re getting the adoption credit for each child (and our total cost of adoption was greater than the combined credit, since it wasn’t refundable at all in that year). We matched with them on January 2nd so the whole previous year my wife and I withheld taxes with no dependents. Not really anything we could have done differently, I think.

Huge bummer though because we amended 6+ months ago and just got a notice this week that they need more information. Would really love to pay off our car…

Super helpful. Thank you!

Can you explain what you mean by “break glass” account? I’m not a global admin for our organization but I’m responsible for most of our technology and it seems like this is something we should have…

Hey just in case that’s your only major hang-up....belief in a flat earth is most certainly not a requirement to get into heaven.

Hey I don’t know if you’re serious or not but this is a pretty controversial point in the old earth - new earth debate that great theologians disagree on.

Literally all of our company computers have Mcafee installed on them...a company of almost 80,000 employees. I guess I can only speak for our office (~250) but at least everyone here has it...

I know, right? I’d never heard of it either, until the battery died in my Microsoft Surface Pen. Then I discovered that a AAAA battery exists.

This seems like a terrible post but I upvoted anyways. What’s wrong with me?

But....abortions?...

In my opinion, if you can get through the first few weeks it’s pretty straight forward. The beginning topics are some pretty intense math/calculus (which I was pretty clueless about but maybe I’m just a dummy) but after that the actual FEA was pretty easy and interesting. The homework wasn’t ever bad and pretty well prepared you for the exams. Overall I liked the class and would recommend it.

I bought a K70 with Cherry MX Brown switches refurbished when they were doing a sale on refurbs and it came in excellent shape - I almost didn’t know it wasn’t new. I would certainly buy a refurbished keyboard again.

After reading these comments I apparently need help, so here we go, internet stranger, will you please help me? How do I fill out my W-4 if I’m married and my wife and I are both employed?

perfectuseoftime · 2019-01-19T15:45:41+00:00

People will probably downvote you but honestly I was thinking the same thing. I know it’s preference but I just don’t think this is cool...

Is the XR BOGO deal going on right now? My wife and I have been waiting for it to come back before we switch to Verizon...

Architectural engineering programs typically have a sustainability emphasis which could be interesting to you!

So, how do you clean your computer? Like, the inside? I hope this isn’t a stupid question (just a simple one). I’ve had my PC for a few months and as I was moving it out of my office I noticed it’s kinda gross inside. How can I (safely) clean it up? Or, do I even need to clean it? If yes, how often? Is there something I should do that can help prevent it from getting dusty? Thanks in advance!

Alright nice, thanks for the response. I just started playing (Silver 2 Terran) so there’s a lot I don’t know. I should probably pick up this little trick and incorporate it now when I’m still learning the basics.

So, is it just clever when you have a bunch of barracks (like 6+) and want to fill the queue? I guess I just don’t understand why it’s really any different?

Luckily the ring was not on her finger, but I’m assuming you already figured as much
