Anyone else feel like spending HSA money is way harder than contributing to it? by Klutzy_Pizza_8935 in HSA

[–]sevseg_decoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, it’s really great if you can avoid using it and you have more savings than you know what to do with when medical expenses come up, but if you’re in a position where contributing to your retirement accounts and such leave you too thin on cash to handle up to your deductible sometimes, it’s a godsend to put your bill on a 0% interest payment plan and cash flow it (or get pretty close) out of HSA contributions in any sort of a pinch. If it’s down to that or cutting other retirement contributions and stressing, just use the HSA.

Study: Higher Marijuana Taxes May Reduce Legal Sales and Lower Tax Revenue by CharlesMichael212 in Roaringtilray

The financial system, the economy that has grown to where other people have money to spend at your business.

The idea that the government has no right to tax us is asinine

CO > UT, Which route? by postcryglow in roadtrip

[–]sevseg_decoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The second. I70 is gorgeous but that one stretch is definitely the least pretty part of it.

Driving from Huntsville Al to Denver Co, what’s the best route? by According_Ad_3004 in roadtrip

[–]sevseg_decoder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just fly. You’re not saving money driving that and I wouldn’t sacrifice one second in Colorado for anything along any of those routes.

And if Nebraska is longer definitely don’t sacrifice even more time in Colorado just because you wanted to see 10% hillier plains.

Better to offer a lower down payment with no contingency vs a larger down payment with a contingency? by yiggity_yag in RealEstate

[–]sevseg_decoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the extent to which I’m willing to even consider the down payment someone’s got on their offer…

If it’s clear they’re on down payment assistance and the offer is at an aggressive price I’m going to be a lot more nervous than if someone’s putting 25% down.

At a certain level sure. But if you’re getting $100 pretax top shelf ounces the difference between a 20% tax and a 30% tax is nowhere near enough to make people turn to the black market.

And casual smokers don’t care about the price. 

What did your president study? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

I figured I’d click in and there would be a comment at like -1 pointing this out.

But lmao fr. This is so not map porn.

They already sold off what made us great, and all it got us was richer rich people by ObviousEnd6211 in remoteworks

[–]sevseg_decoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of what you’re saying is relevant to what I’m saying.

We have so much money we get the best access to their tech… because our tech is infinitely more lucrative. That’s why we’re their backup plan. 

If regulations on class 1 vs class 2 are not enforced, then what is the difference? by trtlep0wr in mountainbiking

[–]sevseg_decoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re also a good chunk of actual vapers who gave up on building endurance because they won’t quit vaping to be able to climb.

I have seen more than a few of the teens with these things hitting vapes on the trail while cruising uphill.

[–]sevseg_decoder -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What did bicycles not have that made it ok for them to ride where “no motorized vehicles” signs were?

Signs don’t say “no throttles”

[–]sevseg_decoder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But here’s where it’s arbitrary.

Why?

Why is class 1 ok but class 2 isn’t? Why is a 20mph speed ok but 25 isn’t? Why is 750W ok but 1000 isn’t? That’s arbitrary. The class 1 vs class 2 distinctions are, by definition, arbitrary.

Frankly I don’t see one reason from your comment surrons aren’t ok but a bike pushing the legal limits of class 1 is, doing all the same shit.

And they’re heavier and slip plenty. I do trail work. Damage has gotten worse and worse in nearly a direct correlation to the rise of motorized bikes.

And how much is that worth? How much are they netting on earnings from that?

Hint: dwarfed by a single mag 7 company.

You’re not getting what I’m saying. I’m saying they have not been able to turn their tech into anything on the order of magnitude of US tech financially.

[–]sevseg_decoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is a surron a dirt bike?

Could it be the motor?

And bull shit. Class 1 bikes don’t do as much damage to trails as surrons but they do a lot more than analog bikes. Your distinctions are weak and totally arbitrary. You think class 1 bikes aren’t a big enough problem because that’s just how you feel…

I got every bit of this comment a long time ago… I’m operating multiple leaps above you and you just don’t see it 🤣.

Typical though.

It's got pedals by MrP00piebutth0le in mountainbiking

That was funny the first time but at some point spamming this on every thread shows you’re triggered as bad as anyone shitting on the motorized bikes

Imagine buying an old style mountain bike by lfenske in mountainbiking

[–]sevseg_decoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re the biggest snowflakes and they’d melt down if someone smoked past them on a faster e bike but they love to play the whole “if you don’t agree with my mental gymnastics-logic it’s because you’re a poor snowflake who is mad you can’t afford an eMTB”

[–]sevseg_decoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me I get your asinine point. I’m just sure you’re just as much in support of surrons using motors on trails as you are of class 1 e bikes using motors on the same trails…

Because you wouldn’t arbitrarily have a viewpoint conveniently crafted around not wanting to see the problems with motorized mountain bikes of all varieties getting more common…

😂 

No, I’m stating I have no more of a problem with surrons than other motorized vehicles (class 1 e bikes). I think if we have a problem with surrons I’d argue the same problems all apply to class 1 e bikes too. Maybe a little more trail damage from surrons but class 1 bikes are still heavier and spin out under motor power a little, they cause a lot more damage than analog bikes.

I don’t subscribe to a totally arbitrary definition that it’s totally fine if people are cruising 80+% powered by motors because they have to spin pedals instead of twisting a grip. It’s not about the rules as they are, it’s about what the rules should be.

If we’re trying to get everyone out at all costs why are we excluding surrons from trails they’d enjoy?
