  1. I couldn’t finish the ep. Not sure whose bright idea it was for a two-hour premiere on a Monday night with commercials. Shit. I struggle to watch the DVR’d recordings of 30-60 minute shows from Wednesdays and Thursdays by the next week. 

  2. I was the guy who had bad luck with Baratza. The first one I managed to break off the little plastic pieces while cleaning and the second appears to have been a lemon, jamming up bad after one cycle. I don’t have any problems with a manual grinder, so I’m sticking to that or something with blades for the time being.

  3. My 18 year-old son was recently diagnosed with depression. He moved to his college dorm in the fall and, after three weeks, basically stopped communicating with anyone and stopped going to classes. Now that he is home and seeing a psychologist he is getting better. Part of it feels like something both my wife and my mom have observed in their classrooms: Many young people got stuck during COVID. While my son seemed to be doing well, he was burnt out and a year-and-a-half of virtual classes left him the same age mentally/emotionally as he went into the pandemic. He was frozen in time. My wife says many of her sixth graders are stuck as third graders, their last full, normal year. My mom sees the same thing with her high school classes.

    A Texas man who had been sleeping with his own sister beat her to death with a baseball bat after he found out she had sex with another man, prosecutors said.

    Jose Manuel Guzman, 32, allegedly killed his sister in the Canutillo home they shared when he attacked her with a “massage instrument” and a bat, the El Paso County district attorney told the El Paso Times.

    Dude didn’t know he had a sister in Guatemala. Meets her as an adult. They start fucking. He kills her with a baseball bat and I’m guessing a magic wand when she cheats on him.

    I assume everyone is loading up their first word with vowels. If I come up total negative that actually really puts me ahead in comparison to maybe one yellow.

    No. My son taught me a four-word opening sequence that makes it really easy.

    I had been using a two-word sequence of “audio” and “strep” fairly well, but he learned somewhere that “jerky”, “camps”, “blown”, and “fight” are a great strategy that makes it hard to lose.

     

  6. Just to clarify: Most CPAs and EAs are lost when it comes to tax controversy. Even those CPAs that work in tax rarely specialize in controversy work and rarely seek it out. EAs, to be frank, are usually just glorified tax return preparers and I wouldn’t even call them CPA-lite in that context. However, a significant subset of EAs are either ex-IRS personnel who now work for the other side OR return preparers who became an EA so that they have the same rights as attorneys and CPAs when it comes to tax controversy work. You’re more likely to find an EA that does tax controversy than a CPA, because so many CPAs don’t even do tax work. And if you find a USTCP, they can take you the distance, all the way into Tax Court (if necessary), attorney not required. 

     

  7. A few years back my main CPAP died so I used my travel machine until I could a replacement. It worked fine. The humidifier makes a difference for me and I'd never use a travel CPAP with an HME long-term if I had a choice. BTW, the CPAP bag doesn't count against the one carry-on and one personal item limit. You can even load it up with stuff in addition to the CPAP.
