The government is still threatening to ‘semi-fire’ workers who don’t answer an email from Elon Musk

( www.theverge.com )

The government is still threatening to ‘semi-fire’ workers who don’t answer an email from Elon Musk We’re nearing the deadline that Elon Musk imposed for government workers to reply to a mass email about productivity, and the results have been predictably confusing — with even a direct statement from President Donald Trump failing to clear things up. Government agencies have taken significantly different tacks toward the Musk-promoted email, w…

I really don’t understand the praise for Day of the Jackal

( www.reddit.com )

I really don’t understand the praise for Day of the Jackal I was really looking forward to this show and it tries very hard to create some kind of Bond-esque grandeur and gravitas with the opening song, the beautiful European locations and all the music montages, but it never ends up earning it and just feels like a badly written BBC show in the end. Most egregiously, I think this depiction of the Jacka…

Don’t know if this Is the right place for this question?

Don’t know if this Is the right place for this question? I just got back from a basketball shoot and I have 1040 photos on my SD card but whenever I put it in my pc it only shows 379. I don’t think it’s a bad card because it’s both of them. Is something wrong with my pc or camera? submitted by /u/oompaloompa_08

Just discovered that I have an IRA that I don’t remember opening – what to do?

( www.reddit.com )

Just discovered that I have an IRA that I don’t remember opening – what to do? As the title states, I recently learned that I have a traditional IRA from a job I had many years ago. I have no recollection of even setting it up, which I know is silly but I was a dumb young person who only cared about a paycheck and everything else was in one ear out the other. Anyways, I received a letter in the mail about my account balanc…

I don’t understand what my “Total Basis” is on form 8606

( www.reddit.com )

I don’t understand what my “Total Basis” is on form 8606 I guess I’m just dumb because I’ve looked up every possible help document and forum post on this, and I still don’t get it. A brief summary of my finances around our retirement account: I have a 457b at work I contributed to a traditional IRA -5000 last year, only 2250 this year. Last year, I put 5000 on form 8606, but I’m starting to think tha…

LPT: Read your vision insurance even if you don’t need it. You might be missing out on “free” stuff.

LPT: Read your vision insurance even if you don’t need it. You might be missing out on “free” stuff. TLDR: Your vision insurance might pay for non-prescription sunglasses. Edit: Real tip is in the comments. Look at your regular health insurance because it may make paying for separate vision insurance redundant. So I’ve had the same vision insurance for 14 years and I’ve never even looked at it as I’ve never needed it. Lately things in the dista…

Is there any benefit to making extra mortgage principle payments if you don’t plan to be in a house long enough to reach the end of the loan?

( www.reddit.com )

Is there any benefit to making extra mortgage principle payments if you don’t plan to be in a house long enough to reach the end of the loan? Basically as the title says. As I understand, making extra mortgage principle payments only reduces total interest by reducing the life of the loan. But if you’re not in a house long enough to reach that point, is there any other benefit? submitted by /u/blackhat118

LPT: Don’t randomly drop “can I ask you something or do something” and wait for their reply. Follow it up with your quest immediately

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: Don’t randomly drop “can I ask you something or do something” and wait for their reply. Follow it up with your quest immediately Saying “Can I ask you something?” before actually asking just slows things down. You might even go offline before they reply, making them overthink it and causing unnecessary friction. Instead, get straight to the point-if they don’t want to engage or answer, they’ll let you know. It makes conversations smoother and more efficient. submitted…

LPT – Don’t work on Mondays if you’re PartTime LPT if you work part time and are able to choose or give input on your schedule, always choose midweek. Most federal holidays fall on a Monday and you’ll miss out on hours. I currently work T-Th and it’s great. EDIT: Geez you all. I was LEGITIMATELY trying to provide helpful advice.

LPT: Don’t tell kids to “Say Cheese” to get good pics

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: Don’t tell kids to “Say Cheese” to get good pics I used to work at a commercial photography studio where I learned a few tips to photographing children and babies. When you tell kids to “say cheese” they almost always make this face 😬 and generally give an unnatural smile. Instead say something silly or make a joke. They will laugh naturally and you’ll get a great pic with a beautiful smile th…

I swear I don’t want a cuck chair I want a nice comfy chair to read in while in my bedroom, but I really want to avoid having a cuck chair set up lol.
