Super weird. There was most certainly a tweet there earlier from Bloomberg with the exact thing you posted about. I guess the powers that be made it disappear or something.
Maybe Bloomberg just got cancelled by Twitter

I had the Starter pullover jacket and the Apex jacket. Still have both of them actually at mom & dad’s house in my old room.
I had a Starter Michigan jacket and the Cowboys Apex one. Still have the Apex Johnston jersey that he signed across the back for me. Maybe I'll wear it Sunday.

I replaced my washer late last year but help on my gas dryer. However, it now seems clothes are coming out a bit musty... would that be a dryer issue or potentially the vent that needs to be cleaned out? I'd rather not replace it right now if I don't have to.

Perhaps this explains why I was able to crush Louisiana casinos and bars the other weekend and come away unscathed and Cron free.
In some good news my 103 yo grandfather that caught covid from his caretaker has licked it and is heading back to his house.

I am as conservative as any one on here. And California is one of my very favorite places to live. I don't care for the big, crowded cities (but I don't like them much anywhere). But there are a lot of places I would love to live out there. Indian Wells in the winter. Santa Barbara, central coast, Carmel. Just fantastic if you have the money.
Would not be my choice of a place to live without 8 figures liquid.
Well yea. My conservative leaning friends in CA live in Santa Barbara and Monterey Peninsula. California weather but less of the crazy.

I meant having to fend for yourself in a caliphate that ceased to take any action against the greatest public health crisis of our time, emboldened the ignorant and actively stymied local authorities. Not a great choice, but I’d take the CA experience over TX any day.
CA 77K deaths
TX 76K deaths
seems like it has not made much of a difference.

PHILADELPHIA -- Four of the individuals who fell as a result of a railing collapse at FedEx Field Sunday -- all of whom say they suffered injuries from the incident, most of them minor -- refuted a statement by the Washington Football Team suggesting they were offered on-site medical evaluation.
"They didn't ask if anyone was hurt, and they sure as hell didn't ask if anybody needed medical attention," said Andrew Collins, 26, of Brooklawn, New Jersey. "The only thing the staff said to us was to get the 'F' off the field."
A railing on the side of the tunnel leading to the visiting locker room at FedEx Field collapsed just as Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was exiting following Philadelphia's 20-16 win. Multiple videos show a group of about eight fans falling approximately six feet to the ground.
Hurts sidestepped the falling fans and wasn't hit. He helped one individual up and asked several of them if they were OK while posing for pictures.
Washington released a statement Sunday evening, stating, "To our knowledge, everyone involved was offered onsite medical evaluation and left the stadium of their own accord. We're very glad no one appears to have been seriously injured. The safety of our fans and guests is of the utmost importance and we are looking into what occurred."
Mike Naimoli, a 26-year-old from Sicklerville, New Jersey, called that statement "completely incorrect," saying that there was no medical assistance offered. Instead, they were told, "'Everybody get the 'F' off the field,' and [they] quickly grabbed us away from Jalen and shooed us up into the stands," he said.
Naimoli and his fiancée, 24-year-old Morgan French, also of Sicklerville, drove to the game with Collins and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Marissa Santarlasci.
Naimoli, who is seen on the video in the green Hurts jersey, said he began experiencing neck and arm pain, as well as a tingling sensation in the hand that he said got trapped underneath the barricade, shortly after the incident. He went to the Inspira Medical Center in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, Sunday evening to get checked out, and was fitted with a neck brace as he waited in the emergency room, he said. When he was discharged after 5:30 a.m. Monday morning, he was diagnosed with a cervical strain and a head injury along with elbow and knee contusions, documents show.
Collins said he was experiencing lower back pain and a pulled groin Monday, while Santarlasci and French said they suffered substantial leg bruising.
"I was the last person to fall," said French, who has a bruise that runs from the top of one hip bone down to her knee to go with bruises on both shins. "I was on top of everyone so I quickly jumped up, and the security guard literally pulled me up by my two arms and got me off the field. I didn't have time to process. I was more so in shock."
One Washington team official said the area where the fans congregated was for disabled people and designed for wheelchair access, and that the railing is not load-bearing and is therefore not designed to withstand hundreds of pounds leaning into it. The group contends, however, that they were granted access to the area by a member of stadium security, and that there was no signage indicating it was a restricted area.
"The security guard at the bottom, we [asked] him, 'Can we go over there?' And he was like, 'Yeah," Naimoli said. "If Washington Football Team wants to come out and say that the area is restricted, there was no documentation of that at all. The one security guard that was right in front of that area swept us in there and was like, 'OK, go ahead over to the tunnel.'"
NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy, in an email, said: "We are reviewing the matter with the club to understand what happened and to ensure it does not happen again."
And now all those fans are injured...

I guess it comes down to how much you have to spend to have fun. If you need to buy a new 70k car every 2 years, that's an expensive way to have fun. If your idea of fun is to live in Greece or Thailand for six months, that's a cheaper way to have fun.
@tequila - what expensive purchases/lifestyle do you have to fund in retirement?
Housing costs? Even if your house were paid off I would imagine taxes would be $30K annually or more and upkeep another $10K especially in 10-20 years. Then throw in a car payment every now and then, medical, and a few trips a year and I would imagine you get to $100K annually with food and normal expenses.
Good for everyone on here that's far along on that journey. I feel really far behind and now need to throw in college savings into the mix. Not to mention a home remodel that is being insisted on by the SO. Guess work is in my future for quite some time.

So I have to give some credit where its due regarding Protax. Back in 2020 when they changed the fee structure to the $75 pre payment fee (no matter what), I refused to sign that contract.
I guess so many other folks didnt sign that either so they called me around March 2020 or so and gave me the offer for what I though was the old contingency fee contract.
They went ahead and waived the upfront fee and went back to the contingency fee structure. Or so I thought.
for 2020 taxes, they saved me a whopping $60 actual dollars, and true to their word, they charged me only ~$20 for my fee in 2020.
However, for this year, they obviously couldnt save me anything. They did get the value reduced by something like $20k
so I was really fucking surprised when I got a $48 fee invoice in Nov. turns out they had included a small line item in the revised contract with a property value reduction fee regardless of actual tax savings.
so yeah, that was a fucking shock. I did spent the next few weeks trying to talk to someone with authority there.
they finally agreed to waive the fee as long as I either understood it would be charged this coming year, or I closed my account.
being as my current HS cap is $200k below the damn appraised value, it pretty much means I couldnt get any savings for the next 3-4 years.
So I accepted the fee to be waived and closed my account with Protax.
would rather have kept them, but that fee on reduced savings means I cant continue to use them.
Good to know. I tried to make sense of my bill when I got it as I owed around $250 on "savings" on appraised value (none on assessed). I tried to find my record of whether I had already prepaid some amount earlier in the year as I would have expected that to be deducted from the total invoice but I didn't see it. Was that deduction changed this past year?

I’m going with Huntley but I don’t have a good option. Baltimore has something to play for.
Valdez-Scantling or Van Jefferson as my WR 3?

I have KJ Osborne as well. With Cousins out I was leaning toward Jefferson but ESPN is liking Scantling.

Looks like Lamar Jackson is out. If that's the case, do you start Huntley over Russell Wilson? Assume you are the underdog.

Tried to get tricky and pick the upsets yesterday. Probably the only way to climb the few spot up I needed but oh well.

SEC with a not so strong showing, ha.
I'm in the running but probably don't have enough points left to make a run without sweeping the remainder of the picks.

Have a friend that went to urgent care (possibly pneumonia) and needed to go to the hospital today. Seton and St Davids were full so they sent her to Westlake.
Have you contracted Covid-19 (Jan'22 Omicron Edition)

69 prolly the safest route
No one in my family have had it to my knowledge. I would say the majority of our friends and some of their kids have had it and we have had several instances of being in contact with them within the susceptible period but I guess we have been lucky. Not so lucky with the Norovirus the week of Christmas however...
