Well fuck me running. Learned something new today. The past 2 quarterly bonuses sure seemed super light in terms of net deposit vs gross. Wife (no pics) and i rang the bell last year, so I just naively assumed payroll dept was taking more out in taxes. I figured that or bonuses got taxed more than regular salary. So i had some downtime working from home and decided to log into my 401k account and just do some casual examination and see if the contributions needed any re-balancing. I notice that I have hit the max contribution for my age, $23,700 + $7,500 or $31K. I have maxed it out since i was 24. What got me thinking is i have always had payroll take the $30K or whatever the yearly max and divide by 24 salary checks and dollar cost average. Nope, not this year. i dont see any correspondence with the office about it, but evidently somewhere along the line they switched to a %. My Q1 bonus deposit was appx 50% of the gross and in q2 it was about the same %. They started taking out thousands (q2 was 10K and q1 was nearly 5K). No wonder the bonus net seemed light. So here I am Aug 1 and I've maxed for the year. Guess Ill get a net deposit raise of $2,500 per month more from here on out. Ill need to remind myself in Dec to try and tell them to hit the salary checks evenly for the whole year and leave bonuses alone. Cant believe that got by me this whole year. Hate that I ll miss the ups and downs for 5 mos. Good problem to have i suppose but i dont recall that being the case in years past.

Trying to keep it civil but this is just blatant bullshit. You are a fucking attorney? I have laid out my plan for immigration control on here for years. I am likely more pro legal immigration than most on here. I think the vast, vast total of immigrants in the country are good people and we are a better country because of it. You really have just become exactly what you claim to hate. What you will not admit, what the previous admin will not admit, what this whole "squash the lies of repubs like germany bullshit" talk will not admit when it comes to immigration is that under Biden, on purpose, the controls we had on who was allowed into the country were completely removed. We let in a massive number of really horrible people, we allowed immigrant children to go virtually unchecked to "host" families that we can not even find anymore, we let massive amounts of fentanyl into the country etc. Yet Mayorkas and Kamala and a large percentage of the media just lied about it and ignored it. Of course the number of really bad people was a small percentage but a small percentage of 10 million is a shitload of people. Remind me when any ranking dem member of congress criticized Biden when literally thousands of hispanic gang members entered the country illegally. I think Trump firing the BLS guy is stupid and wrong. But not any more stupid and wrong than Biden firing the general counsel of the NLRB because the unions wanted him too. But both are legal. -

I got nothing. Eastbound and Down last aired in 2013. -
Zeno, never forget about Zeno. Not that I knew who Zeno nor any of the other names were, but Zeno is a funny name so I'm hoping he becomes the new savior in Oct after Reed is either knocked out (NOT hoping for injury) or walked out as yet another failed savior.

My dentist of 20 years retired suddenly and I went to the group that took it over since I already had an appointment scheduled. The experience was night and day. They told me I had 2 cavities that they wanted to fill that day and then tried to sell me on some scans and cosmetic work. So if anyone has a good dentist is S. Austin please pass a name along.

Got to add at least KS, NE, MO, WV, IN, both Dakotas and the wacko-ass Mountain West states ala ID, MT, UT and WY to the red pile of shit. I know Pennsultucky goes back and forth but if it comes time to secede or not, I'm betting on them coming to their senses and staying.

A few years ago I reviewed fifteen years of Texas recruiting classes and the hit rate on them. From what I recall it was much lower than I ever would have thought. It really was shocking. So then I did it for OU. Same result. I concluded recruiting is a crapshoot with a bit of skill and hustle. -

Nukes would take that angle if we were trying to wipe out St. Louis. I'll allow it. Fuck Pujols.

They used to be called "crumbs" at least when I was in college. Used to get them every time. However time and lower metabolism makes would make me avoid them today

Yeah, I don't have an account. I copied and pasted it though. I know simple shit. Thank you Sir. C

Caught a few minutes of some presser he was doing yesterday I think and the focus was on farmers and how partnering with farmers to close these kind of gaps was an essential component of the path forward. I think maybe he knows more about the details than you give him credit for. As always, RFK jr is like 80-90% spot on and 10-20% batshit crazy.
