Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

It would be idiotic for the pirates to burn a year of control for PR reasons

Investing, Stock Market and Retirement Planning Thread

With my parents estate wrapping up by June, I was thinking about paying off our mortgage. It's at 4.375% but we've got money in a 5% savings account. And I wondered about tax issues if we paid it off. Interesting. There would be no tax issues with paying off a house early. If anyone ever tells you ...

When we would go on trips as a kid, I can remember getting Pizza Hut to the hotel room after a trip to the pool. Fast forward to last few weekends where we've been taking the kids to the school pool for swimming, and it made me crave it again. Got some last week and took me instantly back to those t...

I thought the point of a cashier's check was it drew the funds immediately from the account and those funds have to be there.

What the hell is there to verify?

Payday is pretty far down there in the candy bar rankings...
I have never willingly paid for a Payday bar in my life. I only eat it if it's part of my kid's parade haul or something.

I didn't think I would care for the story of The Bad Batch when the show first came out, so I deferred watching. But I have heard nothing but near universal praise for it, so now I plan on binging the whole thing over a couple of nights when this final season wraps up. It's not Rebels level, but it...

Hypothetical: if I have 20,000 in child care expenses and pay for 5,000 out of a dependent care fsa, are the other 15,000 still "eligible" for the regular dependent care tax credit (of which I'd get a percentage of the $6,000 cap)? In other words can I get both the 5,000 deduction to taxable income...

I go back and forth if I want to coach beyond T-Ball or not. I don't mind the kids - it's the parents. My philosophy for anything less than High School sports is let the kids play different spots and different amounts and learn what they like and don't like. If a game is 6 innings, then every kid be...

Movies are like wine to me. I really really want to like them and try all kinds, but I don't have the time/$$ to commit so I watch a movie here or there when they are on TV or a streaming service.

I think the last time I was in a theater was 2017.

Very interesting that the spray wand below the 2nd rack wouldn't have enough space. I only run into that issue with large griddle plates or pizza pans that I have to lay at an angle. Our plates are large and have no issues with that.

Did you look at whirlpool models?

There shouldn't be interest on school loans. The only time interest should come into play is if payments are missed. The question really is "what do we as a society gain by having a more educated society?". I see a more educated society as a generally good thing. If you really want an overhaul, hav...
