RIP Alamo Springs Cafe
I’ve heard that it will likely be back sometime in the fall. Hopefully that’s true as that was an excellent burger.

When to take your social security
This is a great thread. Like the OP, I always thought the common wisdom was waiting as long as possible before drawing your social security benefits. I just ran my numbers and at best, I break even at 84 (assuming a 4% return and no COLA) by waiting until 65 to take benefits. Unless you know you’re living into your 80s, it feels like an easy answer to start pulling the cash at 62 and investing it.

Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

Agree and am hoping that the Astros will be more aggressive this offseason in finding a couple of bench bats. Every spot on the 26/40 man rosters should be utilized to its full potential and frankly this team has been taking getting to the playoffs for granted for the last 2 years.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
I agree with some of this but how much is on Crane and his budget? He signed Abreu and Montero and has decided that he wants to keep salary expense below a certain number. That may be partially responsible for all of the Dumpster Diving that Dana has done. Some of it has worked in the bullpen.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
This is a dumb fucking tweet. The Astros GM and staff should look at every player who is DFA’d and ask if that player is a better alternative than the current roster. Sportswriters, sports radio hosts, etc can be absolute morons.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
I want to bitch about the lineup but - If Bergman needs to DH and Altuve needs a day off, then what else can Espada do? Arguably Singleton may be a better hitter against RHP than Caratini but it’s close. Chas shouldn’t play for the rest of the year. he’s become a lazy defensive outfielder and is terrible at the plate. Too much banana pudding! However, the options to play instead of Chas suck as well. The last 4/5 roster spots used for hitters on the 26 man are just terrible. Dana better go to work in the offseason.- So, apparently Greg Swindell is a dumbshit
It was obvious that Clemens was not someone to be admired when he threw his wife under the bus during the steroid investigation. After this, I’ve been consistently annoyed that we allow him on sidelines, etc.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Just to clarify something on this point - If your father generates a tax loss from the rental activity, he will have to work through the passive activity loss rules to ensure it’s deductible as I’m assuming he’s not a real estate professional. Look at IRS Publication 925 which explains those rules.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
That’s correct. Your dad’s basis for depreciation purposes will be 400k in your example. When you and your sister inherit the house, your basis for depreciation will be the fair market value at the time of inheritance.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

He needs to start against RHP.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
I’m not exactly sure of what’s being asked here. Assuming the house is owned jointly, the surviving spouse should receive a step-up in basis for the 50% of the house received from the estate for federal income tax purposes. This happens through the federal estate tax law. The stepped-up basis is only useful for federal income tax purposes if the property is a rental or is sold. Also it should be noted that there are some potential limitations to utilizing a tax loss from rental activity. The owner may need to satisfy the active or material participation rules to deduct the loss. The homestead exemption is a Texas property tax concept and the 65-over exemption can be utilized by a younger surviving spouse.- 2024 Senate Elections
It’s really a shame to see that group of assholes struggling with this. They had a chance to be completely free from Trump after January 6 and lacked the courage. 90% of the R Senators would tell you behind closed doors that Trump has no business being anywhere close to the White House.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Don’t give him too much credit. He went bankrupt running a casino. That’s not a strategy that actual smart people use.- Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!

Mace and her current views can be directly traced back to the changes related to redistricting. Her district became more rural and red and she has changed her views to keep her seat. She had to defeat a Trump supported challenger in the 22 primary. Im guessing that she actually needs to keep up the grift and government checks to maintain her lifestyle. Her only focus is staying in office.- Gumbo

I think they pull tortillas from the walk-in and put them straight in the plastic basket. Those tortillas have never seen the flattop grill. - Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
