OK. Tax time. Anything better than Turbo Tax online? -- nm - psilotum Mar 26, 11:51 5
- just bought mine from them :) -- nm - Beaker Mar 26, 12:42
- I use TaxAct but I don't have any special reason to endorse it over any other. -- nm - Max Mar 26, 11:54
- Depends on how complicated they are, I guess. I just use free fillable forms, but then again, I'm weird like that. -- nm* - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 11:54 2
  - Can't use free. On TurboTax, I need the Premier level. (schedule K-1) -- nm - psilotum Mar 26, 12:10 1
    - Ah. Yeah, that's above my pay grade. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 12:18

The lack of enforcement of the individual mandate is still in effect, correct? -- nm - Dano Mar 26, 11:11 1

  - I had cannoli for the first time a week or two ago. It was obviously not as good as it was supposed to be since I'm in Texas. - Qale Mar 26, 11:55 2
    - It should have a sweet cream filling with a crunchy shell. I'm sorry it wasn't better. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 12:42
    - Take the gun, leave the canoli -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 26, 12:17

So, not only did Trump simply make up the idea that Germany owes us money for NATO... -- (link*) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 10:28 2

Two Pogo things: I'm behind many of you, but finally hit Level 28. Also just hit my seven day Pokestop streak and I got...... - ty97 Mar 26, 10:14 7
- Thanks to the event I finally got a Lapras. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 26, 11:25 6
  - Still no lapras :( I have enough candy to evolve my Magikarp though! - ty97 Mar 26, 11:33 5
    - Just keep checking when you're near a place with a lot of stops. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 26, 11:59
    - Also, I've finally started looking at the Silph nest map you've referenced in the past - ty97 Mar 26, 11:34 3
      - unfortunately, right now, almost every nest near me has no data - ty97 Mar 26, 11:36 2
        
        Yeah, there was just a migration on Wednesday night. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 26, 11:42
        
        And the nests that do have data are mostly yawn inducing at this point - ty97 Mar 26, 11:38

One small and unimportant thing that I've found interesting this political cycle is the use of the word 'bullshit' verbally on CNN - ty97 Mar 26, 10:03 7
- they're dropping the Fuck bomb on Syfy -- nm - Remlik Mar 26, 10:43 4
  - Which show is that? Magicians? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 26, 11:39 1
    - The Expanse. Though whether it is obscured if not seems to depend on the time they air an episode. - TWuG Mar 26, 11:57
  - Is that a sequel to The Nude Bomb? -- nm - David Mar 26, 10:43 1
    - Would you believe ... yes? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 26, 11:05
- South Park opened the door for CNN -- nm - JaxSean Mar 26, 10:09 1
  - Ever since the Access Hollywood tape and that woman saying 'pussy grabber' over and over again, CNN has worked blue. -- nm - Diva Mar 26, 10:12
Power Rangers $40.5M, Beauty & the Beast $88,3M, CHiPS $7.6M, Life $12.6M -- nm* - Beaker Mar 26, 09:39 6

      - I just checked ERC. - David Mar 26, 10:10 2
        
        oof. -- nm - Diva Mar 26, 10:12
        
        wow -- nm - prayformojo Mar 26, 10:11
Over at the HSX: 200H$ BW for 'Logan' on sale. Film has grossed 201MM domestic. -- nm - Diva Mar 26, 09:36
I love Weekend at Bernies -- nm - Beaker Mar 26, 09:32
Lorne Grabher of Nova Scotia got a personalized license plate of his last name. Provincial government pulled it as 'offensive to women' -- (link) - ty97 Mar 26, 09:18
TV PSA: Bob's Burgers, Little Big Shots, NCIS LA, Roanoke, Once Upon A Time, Missing, Top Gear, Making History, Big Little Lies, Black Sails, -- nm - Beaker Mar 26, 09:16 3

Politico tick-tock on how the Freedom Caucus made a pact among themselves weeks ago regarding AHCA -- (link) - ty97 Mar 26, 08:55 17
- Mind you, I'm not convinced this bill passes the House even if every FC member votes yes, but they provided cover to the more moderate members - ty97 Mar 26, 08:55 16
  - And I'm not sure I understand the FC on this one. If they got everything they wanted, it never would have passed the Senate. - ty97 Mar 26, 08:57 15
    - Because they don't want governance. They want exactly what they promised and won on. Complete repeal. - Will Hunting Mar 26, 09:03 14
      - But they have to know that unwinnable. Assuming they do (maybe they don't?) I can't see their endgame. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 26, 09:12 13
        
        They are idealogues; which is very close to idiotlogues. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 26, 09:25
        
        I doubt they care. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 09:13 11
        
        Maybe not, but it doesn't make any sense to me. - ty97 Mar 26, 09:16 10
        
        Because they've sold their constituents a bill of goods and they'll be damned, or worse, voted out, if they allow for the slightest bit of compromise. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 09:33 9
        
        But now they take the blame (rightly or wrongly) for Obamacare remaining. Is that better? -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 09:56 8
        
        Enough of what they found objectionable would have remained anyway that it made no difference. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 10:34 4
        
        I'm trying to suss out the political optics of it. Theoretically, someone could primary these guys for 'blocking Obamacare repeal' -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 10:50 3
        
        If they were only out to repeal Obamacare for the sake of saying they repealed Obamacare, sure, but I don't think that is the case for them. - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 11:30 2
        
        Still, there *could* be election consequences -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 11:39 1
        
        Nah, they'll just blame congress -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 26, 11:44
        
        I definitely understand your point. But you're applying logic to legislators and their constituents who up to this point have not operated or thought -- (edited) - Diva Mar 26, 10:01
        
        To the people that vote for them, yes. -- nm - Bacon Mar 26, 09:57 1
        
        perhaps it is, I'm just not sure -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 10:02
I picked up the boardgame app Tokaido and it's fantastic. Just as much fun as the boardgame, cool graphics and the AI is challenging. -- (link*) - Krusty Mar 26, 08:42
This graphic -- (link) - ty97 Mar 26, 08:35 3
- Trump needs about 10 more arrows pointing at media, Mexicans, Muslims, poor people, cat lovers, dog lovers, -- nm - Bacon Mar 26, 08:41 2
  - This graphic is specific to AHCA. In general though, you are right -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 08:42
  - Oh Obama's secret shadow government for sure too -- nm - Bacon Mar 26, 08:42
International student applications at American schools are down nearly 40 percent, survey shows -- (link) - ty97 Mar 26, 08:28
Trump tweets to watch Fox's Jeanine Pirro. First words Pirro says on show " "Paul Ryan needs to step down as Speaker of the House." -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 08:22 12
- aides to the President claim it was not a planted message -- (link) - ty97 Mar 26, 08:23 11
  - House of Cards the reality version -- nm - Bacon Mar 26, 08:30
  - Like hell it wasn't. -- nm - znufrii Mar 26, 08:24 9
    - The angle is interesting. Trump is publicly attacking the Freedom Caucus. The FC would love Ryan out. -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 08:43 8
      - Well, we all know that reality is the opposite of anything Trump says publicly, so.... -- nm* - znufrii Mar 26, 08:45
      - The enemy of my enemy is my friend? -- nm - Bacon Mar 26, 08:44 6
        
        One of the reasons I pity Donald Trump is that he doesn't have friends. -- nm - David Mar 26, 09:10 5
        
        I agree that he does have friends but I don't pity him for it. The answer is simple: don't be an asshole. - Mel Profit Mar 26, 09:22 1
        
        "Dad sucks, but this money and power is divine." -- nm - TWuG Mar 26, 09:50
        
        The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy? -- nm - Trump Mar 26, 09:18
        
        That's because he's an asshole -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 09:13 1
        
        Sure but extreme loneliness is always sad. -- nm - David Mar 26, 10:00
