Totally understand. I came back for mine, cleaned it all up, patched, painted and lost all back plating. But again, I totally feel your pain.

The three layers of backplates hurts me.

Meanwhile today I get an ad from eero for a WiFi 7 router system that costs $1699

Weirdly the things it’s the worst at.

Dead Space just ran like crap on anything. 6950XT and 5600x. Stuttery mess.

There’s a note at the end of the article that says it was take using pano. So this is doubly unsurprising. Despite the instagram caption reading it wasn’t.

How do you imagine they profit?

Elden Ring. Cyberpunk. Outer Wilds. HiFi Rush. Stray. Midnight Suns (licensed like Potter but original).

Not saying a lot. But far from none. And alongside Starfield and Horizon Forbidden West (second game in an original series) it’s hardly no original titles.

Maybe so! The one at mine worked like this:

1. You elect in advance how much you want to fund your FSA in the next upcoming period (year)

2. On day 1 of that period the FSA is available to you to spend on eligible expenses. Within 2 weeks I spent the full years elected amount (one surgery).

3. For the duration of the period they deduct (pre-tax) the total FSA election / pay periods (ie. $2000/24 in my case). And that would repeat through the full period (year).

So in my case, leaving after paycheck 1 of that period, but spending 100% of the elected funds means I paid: 1x(2000/24)= $83. But I spent $2000. Upon leaving that meant they did not collect $1917.

This is an actual FSA ‘loophole’. Easily searchable.

When you start an FSA the funds are front loaded. You can immediately spend everything. But you pay it back over the course of the year. So if you leave and all the funds are spent - you don’t owe them a repayment and they can’t exactly keep deducting from your paycheck.

Weird FSA trick tho; if you borrow from an FSA, spend it in full in, say… the first month of the year, quit your job. You never have to pay it back.

Happened to me by accident. I started a plan to pay for LASIK. Got it. Had no way of knowing back then I’d be made another job offer. Took it and expected to get dinged with the entire amount. Nope. FSA plan eats the loss.

So all you gotta do is plan very specifically months ahead and triple down by orchestrating a job change all to save $2k :) easy.

Sad that there’s simply no easy way to do the conversion math!

Yea makes sense. Network and cable TV in the US is and always has been about 50/50 ads to content. It’s horrendous to watch. And probably explains why some sizable number of Americans will always pay to go ad free if it’s an option.

Edit: and not be too concerned about a 10s bumper ad or two. Altho don’t get wrong they are increasingly obnoxious.

TV? The platform that basically is one giant ad? This is the most confusing comment.

False alarm it was my app not making it easy to see the preceding comment. :)

I think you deleted your comment. But I don’t think it’s weird at all. If what you say is true than it makes the impact of the choice gap between older and younger voters even more important. Clearly younger voters had to come out in massive force and extremely aligned to overcome the huge conservative bias of their older voting group peers in those elections.

Why does Celsius look like Pete Davidson?

I’m not sure the voting demographics support that assertion. More like in a few elections boomers will got overturned. And the backlash is always severe.

Not banned, but yes regulated. And the vast majority of the feed supply for raising cattle etc are imported GMO crops.
