Finally saw Infinity Wars this weekend. I was mostly with it, but (spoils) - pmb May 15, 08:22 41

  - There are some differences though. (Spoils) - pmb May 15, 08:36 23
    - I will say this, I think Marvel did themselves a disservice (spoilers) - Johnny Lawrence May 15, 09:10 20

        Oh sure, but it might have served them better to release a calendar with what I put above and then (spoilers) - Johnny Lawrence May 15, 09:17 18
        
        Part of it is that - Reagen May 15, 09:43
        
        I guess that would have worked on some people but nobody that gave it half a thought would think there will not be a spoil - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 09:24 16
        
        If they didn't want to cheat, they could have (spoilers) - Marlowe May 15, 09:29 8

        Well.. (spoilers) - Marlowe May 15, 09:39 6
        
        I disagree with that one, though. spoil - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 09:43
        
        spoilers - groiny May 15, 09:41 4

        Which second line? - Marlowe May 15, 09:48 1
        
        Duh, replied in the wrong place.. (NM) - Marlowe May 15, 09:49
        
        Your second line makes zero sense to your point. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 09:45
        
        it is one thing to think it, it is another to know it. -- nm - groiny May 15, 09:27 6
        
        Exactly (spoilers) - Johnny Lawrence May 15, 09:45

        oh, I don't disagree, it is just the problem with us having all this info up front. -- nm - groiny May 15, 09:35 3
        
        Logic is as powerful as info. - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 09:37 2
        
        except, you are always wrong. -- nm - groiny May 15, 09:40 1
        
        It only appears that way to you lesser mortals. - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 09:44
    - That's part of the issue I have with it.. - Marlowe May 15, 08:55
    - The last part I agree with, and knew when it was announced it would be the case. But it is like the last Harry Potter movies. No way could it be one. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 08:40

So my wife's CPA forgot to file her 2016 tax (we just randomly found out a few weeks ago). He filled them now and sent an invoice. -- (edited) - James Bond (aka Igor) May 15, 08:10 14
- Was all the tax paid? Generally there is no penalty for filing late if the tax was paid on time. - Covington May 15, 09:06 4
  - Tax was paid. He did the taxes and told her the amount needed to pay but he forgot to file. - James Bond (aka Igor) May 15, 09:10 3
    - OK, then she's good with the IRS. She might get a letter saying a penalty was waived. - Covington May 15, 09:16 2
      - She did pay the invoices in 2016 and now he bills a new one. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 15, 09:20 1
        
        Just show him she paid already. Too many people are too lazy to check their records before sending a bill or the payment never got recorded. -- nm - Covington May 15, 09:23
- Is he actually a CPA or are you using the term generically? Because if he's actually a CPA, you can surely file a complaint. -- nm - Mop May 15, 08:25 4
  - As far I understand he is a licensed CPA but I will look up his license to double check. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 15, 08:35 2
    - Yes the guy holds a valid CPA license. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 15, 09:02 1
      - There's like a very simply process through the province to file a complaint. These complaints usually go unchallenged. - Mop May 15, 09:42
  - yup. -- nm - Beaker May 15, 08:32
- $800 bill -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 15, 08:12
- Instead of a check, invoice him for any penalties. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 08:12 2
  - Yes, we had our new CPA look over things so I was planning to send that bill to him. But really wtf. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 15, 08:13 1
    - Hopefully the bill was automated and they are not serious. - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 08:14
Sichuan Airlines incident: there was a British Airways pilot had a similar incident in the 90s. -- (link) - ty97 May 15, 08:08 1

  - And SNES -- (link) - not sycor May 15, 08:12 3
    - I just got this one last week thanks to MDH pointing out that Gamestop had them in stock - JD May 15, 08:25 2
      - I've heard you can find the SNES currently. - not sycor May 15, 08:28 1
        
        this is me as well -- nm - JaxSean May 15, 09:36
  - Link -- (link) - not sycor May 15, 08:11 1
    - They should do a wireless controller option. Sheesh -- nm - JaxSean May 15, 08:17
- Oh, good, another chance to not be able to find one to buy. - Cuzzin Todd May 15, 08:04 2
  - Supposedly they are producing enough to last through the end of the year. We'll see I guess. -- nm - not sycor May 15, 08:05 1
    - If I wander by one in Target I'll pick one up. Fingers crossed! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 15, 08:17
- I'm already nostalgic about the first release -- nm - Guigue May 15, 07:58 1
  - Agreed. It is like Star Trek movies. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 15, 07:58
Ouch! -- nm - hands May 15, 07:51 2
- slow clap -- (link) - Beaker May 15, 07:58 [youtube]
