[07:39] DaemonFC You could lock in a pretty good rate right now for 10 years and just leave it in there to grow interest. [07:40] DaemonFC I have to keep our AGI under $43,500 to take the SAVERS Credit. But the good news is I can use a variety of other deductions to do this and it's allowed. [07:41] DaemonFC The Internal Revenue Code is quite complicated. [07:41] DaemonFC I think at the 20% rate you can have an AGI of up to $47,500, but I want the 50% rate. [07:42] DaemonFC It's another one of those delightful ways that the IRS makes you lose money if you make more money so why bother. [07:42] DaemonFC :P [07:42] DaemonFC You either want to make a LOT more money or a few bucks less. [07:43] DaemonFC schestowitz, Biden signed a law that replaces the SAVERS Credit with some new scheme in 2027. [07:43] DaemonFC Instead of the IRS giving you money off your tax bill at the end of the year, it goes into your 401(k) account instead. [07:43] DaemonFC It changes it into something called the "SAVERS Match". [07:44] DaemonFC I think this will be a whole lot less attractive to low income earners and may actually discourage retirement savings. [07:44] DaemonFC Instead of $1,000 they can take off their tax bill and get a larger refund that they can use now, they have to wait until they're at least 59.5 years old to get the money. [07:45] DaemonFC I think this is a huge problem. [07:46] DaemonFC Congress may just figure it's the same thing really, but to a low wage worker, especially a young one, $1,000 now is more of an incentive to save something for later than the promise that $1,000 from the government is going into that account they can't have for 40 years.

Patients might clear [SARS-CoV-2] itself from tissue, but immune dysregulation might allow other viruses and pathogens to reactivate and then drive chronic systems, said [10:27] DaemonFC Proal. Epstein-Barr virus, for example, seems to be reactivated in people with Covid-19, and scientists are studying whether the herpes viruses and the common parasite Toxoplasma do the same. [10:27] DaemonFC Its possible, too, that the reactivation of these pathogens contributes to autoimmunity. Research recently published in Science posited that prior infection with the Epstein-Barr virus drives multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease, by spurring production of autoantibodies. Proal suggested that a similar mechanism could be at play in long Covid. What it really means is that overall, autoantibodies can be generated as part of the immune sys [10:27] DaemonFC tem response to infection, she said."

[20:59] DaemonFC I reserve the right to read anything that _interests_ me. ● Nov 25 [21:00] DaemonFC Plenty of people have read Mein Kampf purely out of curiosity because they wanted some more insight into Hitler's rise to power. Most people who have read it are not Nazis. [21:00] DaemonFC In context, there's nothing wrong with reading controversial material. [21:01] DaemonFC Kiwi Farms is really no edgier than hundreds, if not thousands, of Web forums were 20 years ago. [21:02] DaemonFC People are not required to like trannies. Insisting that they are does not make them like trannies. It makes them think about why they don't like them more. [21:02] DaemonFC Then they are more responsive to politicians that promise to "do something about the problem". [21:03] DaemonFC For a "movement" that wants to emulate the gay rights movement, they sure haven't learned anything from the mistakes.

It's an old car and who knows how long I'll be driving it. [21:23] DaemonFC If I have to replace it, there's no guarantee the next one would call for 5w30. [21:23] DaemonFC They keep going to thinner and thinner oils. [21:23] DaemonFC It's ridiculous. [21:24] DaemonFC Amazingly, Kia still seems to be using 5w20, which is odd considering all the others use this thin stuff to get better CAFE scores. [21:24] DaemonFC They save a fraction of a mile per gallon fuel economy, then that's one more thing wearing out the engine faster. [21:25] DaemonFC In my opinion, nobody making a gasoline engine should have ever made one that used anything other than 5w30 or 10w30 depending on the climate you're driving it around in.

[21:28] DaemonFC :/ [21:30] DaemonFC DaemonFC: i don't keep oil change supplies in the car at all [21:30] DaemonFC Well, when they run them on sale it helps to have filters and oil I got real cheap in the trunk to hand over to the shop. [21:31] DaemonFC The shop charges more to use their oil and filters even though they have big 55 gallon drums of oil sitting there that they got a REALLY good deal on because they do hundreds of oil changes every week. [21:32] DaemonFC It costs $70 after tax to have the shop do a full synthetic oil change on my car, and they use Delco oil (fine) and a Delco e-core filter, which seems to be rubber gasket, paper filter media, cardboard core. It's a very cheap filter and it's not terrific at what it does. [21:33] DaemonFC If I bring them the stuff, they charge $20 labor. You can get really good full synthetic oil for $20 a jug on average now, and one of those extended drain filters with metal core and synthetic media for $7-8. [21:33] DaemonFC So call it an even $50 and you get a better filter while you're at it. [21:33] DaemonFC If you want the same filter they'd use, it'd be about $45 all told. [21:34] DaemonFC So they're charging a $25 premium for their bulk oil and a filter they have on hand. [21:34] DaemonFC So they may put out a coupon, but they are still back there making money on every oil change at the dealership. [21:34] DaemonFC They don't buy the oil in quart jugs, but they still charge you as though they were. [21:36] DaemonFC Oh GOOD.

[22:47] DaemonFC It's stupid not to fix it because other mandatory spending would kick in to replace it. [22:47] DaemonFC Including food stamps and Medicare-Medicaid Alignment Programs.

[22:48] DaemonFC Placing everyone on Social Security on the welfare system. [22:49] DaemonFC ZedHedTed, They should allow you to replace your SSN three times in your lifetime. [22:49] DaemonFC They could handle this without having to recycle any numbers for quite a while. [22:49] DaemonFC 50 years after someone dies, they could recycle their number. Or they could just start adding digits or letters to the SSN. [22:50] DaemonFC Or start using prefixes that didn't run out of numbers when they were using them, like ones that they used to issue to people born in the Philippines. [22:51] DaemonFC If they broke open the prefixes for the Philippines again they could issue a few million more SSNs just from that. [22:51] DaemonFC If they started using the 666 prefix, then they could use all of that one. [22:51] DaemonFC They never used 666 at all.
