Aren't tax free gifts capped at $14,000.00 per year? Edit: Er, I guess it's $16,000.00 without needing to report it, and then anything above that can be offset against a $12 ish million lifetime exclusion. https://money

I think he means enlisting in the military or a police force, accruing that job experience, rather than getting an undergrad degree, and then going straight to law school.

Others have mentioned here, although I am not sure if or to what extent this is true, that depositors may have had an exclusivity relationship with SVB in order to secure loans or other financial services, which might account for depositors

Is that not a possibility? In terms of public identification, my answer is, yes, definitely. In terms of private identification, my answer is also yes, but I appreciate that many people think this is a manifestly positive outcome. In which

Well there you go, we have more in common than anyone reading this exchange might suppose. I would quote Shakespeare on love and blindness, but I’m not sure what term is au courant for the ocularly impaired.

You’re welcome. You remain funny in your own way despite the faulty instrument.

The matter that I said was concerning was tangential to the main point, a joke, if you will. I wish you peace.

It’s concerning that a company acquired the rights to publish books from the middle of the 20th century and is just now discovering the typos, but sure. Fix the typos. Letting the book go out of print would be a far less grotesque option th

It’s incredibly pathetic and speaks to the inanity of this movement in the publishing industry that they edit old ips instead of investing in new ip that exemplifies their newfound principles.

Damn, this is amazing. I took up a lot of hobby electronics using Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Pico Ws during the pandemic. I stopped short of custom PCBs or reviewing circuit schematics, but this makes me want to search out a basic project t

With movies, I find it to be the opposite. I might recognize the old movies as better in many ways, but their pacing is excruciatingly slow compared to modern movies. It takes a layer of appreciation to get through many of them.

I’m trying to get a real grip on the financial hellscape of my home state, Illinois, for a novel I’m working on. The Illinois constitution ensures the benefits of public sector employees, and these benefits, once enacted, cannot be diminish

The Fine Arts Building in Chicago's Loop is beautiful. It houses a theater, a ballet studio, luthiers, music teachers, a bookstore, a sheet music store, and various others. Rents are pretty reasonable. The elevators are all manually op

The expression of my passion for literature used to be fervent, but also egomaniacal. A more subdued, less intense, but far more intensive, passion has taken its place. I appreciate both, and the former may return intermittently, but I cons

Leave more out. We tend to overproduce detail because it seems relevant to us, but you need to think about the story from the audience's perspective. Your perspective within the story just becomes another character.

My theory is that they also killed competitive magic due to the MeToo movement and the various other social causes that sprang up in the last 6 years. Wotc and its corporate parent cannot control who the winningest players are, and their ol

I am a big fan of the long tails that certain video games or tech products have. You accrue little tidbits about the development process and such over time. I have Goldeneye rigged up on the monitor in my office and play it from time to tim

It does mean more than not being imprisoned. For example, if the government came to Facebook and told them to remove all posts by a certain politician, violations of the platform’s rules notwithstanding, I believe that would also be a viola

I don't really like the time I spend listening to podcasts. My dad, though, had talk radio playing constantly. Part of me thinks I have a genetic proclivity for listening to inane chatter. It is comforting.

I write, and I have found that keeping an old Nintendo DS with Advance Wars on hand is often conducive to entering states of flow. It prevents me from seeking out the internet if a self-contained object of interest is near to hand. When I l

Solo basketball shoot around at the local rec center while no one else is there, four laps around the indoor track, squats with a low amount of weight, home by the time a podcast has finished. I take a long walk on off days.
