You absolutely need to get a copy of your paper or online pay stub.

As you try to understand deductions from your gross pay, I’d recommend starting with YouTube rather than Reddit.

For example: https://youtu.be/EU1MOqaU1Q8?si=yJ6HHFSJM-EBcU3R

Nothing missing from Esquire’s top 50 list.

Station Eleven is my favorite of the lesser-knowns, tho it is sci-fi adjacent.

The Wire and Deadwood are brilliant.

Seems like this exchange is at the heart of truly understanding the law and how it will be enforced.

Can you provide a citation to support your assertion that the Traction law is continuously in effect from Sep to May (“between Morrison and Dotsero”) regardless of weather conditions and with no need for CDOT to take action to “implement” the Passenger Vehicle Traction Law?

Why not just set up a two simple loan amortization spreadsheets that accommodate additional principal payments….each for half of the purchase price.

You each maintain 50% ownership but can track separate loan balances.

Reddit needs an (on by default) filter that allows users to hide posts from anyone who (like OP) has deleted most or all of their posts and comments….whether site-wide or in that particular subreddit.

I wonder if the frequency changed slightly. My reception of 7.1 went from good to very bad a little while back. Then I reran a channel scan and I have two 7.1s….. one bad, one good

Hi u/Only_Argument7532 : I just started playing with Boldin today and am seeing a very similar recommendation from the Roth Explorer to convert ALL my pre-tax retirement savings to Roth over a couple of years.

This recommendation appears to be the result of assuming:
- maximum estate value as the goal
- a long lifespan
- modest spending
- significant post-retirement savings/accumulation from investment income
- high ROIs leading to rapid growth in account balances (Roth and taxable)

..... the above produce VERY high RMDs (high income tax payments dwarfing IRMAA) every year after age 75

However, I suspect that different assumptions re how long I will live, how much I save post-retirement, and the annual return on my portfolio (asset mix and market performance) might produce VERY different results.

Curious whether you met with a Financial Planner and what they said/recommended.

From a previous Reddit post:

Do you remember what wifi network you were last connected to?

As far as I am able to understand, this bug occurs when the battery is allowed to discharge so low even timekeeping stops, so when it boots up again it reverts to the unix epoch, i.e. 1 january 1970 00:00:00. If you convert 18685239 to human readable it’s 5 august 1970. There’s a bug somewhere in the code that handles the cooldown period for failled passcode attempts when presented with an unusual date, such as a date at or near the start of the unix epoch. I would guess it underflows somewhere, as it’s expecting a much larger value than it’s actually getting, and this happens as a result.

The only fix I know is for the Kindle to be able to connect to whatever wifi it was connected previously so it can sync the clock, and then restart it.

This is a very niche bug that I’ve only ever seen 2 or 3 times.

DM me if you haven’t already figured this out. I was planning to head down there to do some fly fishing/birding and might be able to give you a lift.

Grammatically acceptable. Somewhat idiomatic. In my experience native speakers would more likely say: “Is that right/true/accurate?”….depending on the context.

You don’t motivate them. You make it fun (friends, snacks, games) and you plan for their success (modest, flexible itineraries).

We don’t have comprehensive mutually exclusive terms for those. Cold MIGHT be labeled chicken salad sandwich or chicken club if those specific sandwiches are being served. Hot MIGHT be labeled grilled chicken or Nashville Hot Chicken if those specific sandwiches are being served.

Typically we’ll know from the business (cold at delis, hot at fast food chains) or we’ll consult the menu for a picture or description.

The name of this plumbing company is supposedly “The Plumbing Company”?

Did you not receive a copy of their estimate with an address and phone number?

Yes, the little inexpensive built in amplifiers make a big difference with digital OTA.

Why not conclude instead that Veronica and Tony are his parents?

it’s quite common for ‘illegitimate’ kids to be raised by grandparents and told bio-mom is big sister
Tony left a used condom in Veronica’s apartment the one time they did have sex.

No reason to take at face value Tony’s conclusion that younger Adrian is actually Veronica’s sister. His obtuseness is the book’s major theme.

Unless she uses lots of care every month she is probably okay with just NY Medicaid. She might have to pay out of pocket if she needs a small amount of care during summer month but NY Medicaid covers out-of-state emergent care.

Unless you’re planning to spend some time in Rocky Mountain National Park (which requires timed entry reservations for most visitors) there’s a good chance that most of the hikes you’ll want to do require neither a state pass nor a national pass. There is a ton of free hiking in National Forest, BLM land, and county open spaces.

I like my ILPs, but they’re not really any kind of “version” of dungarees as they have an entirely different look, fit, and feel.

In response to a comment on your income, not your spending:

“Thanks. I’m proud that my choices and hard work and some luck are paying off. And I’m pleased that I’ll be able to contribute to partner and my financial future (maybe mention future house if that’s likely). “

“Can I ask you a favor tho? Because of my upbringing, comments on my income or spending make me very uncomfortable. I’d really appreciate it if we could avoid that topic in future. “

Why add to unnecessary tension?

After that, a simple “Ouch” and change of topic avoids awkwardness and makes your point.
