  - I know this was a joke, but - I am pretty sure they said those rooms aren't going to be available this summer while games/training are happening? -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 14:22 2
    - Interesting. I guess to eliminate the temptation to pack a bunch of fans into a room - JD Jul 9, 14:27 1
      - Not usually. That is the big selling feature of them. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 15:59

    - Okay, my ex-wife lived in Franklin and is now in downtown Nashville. In an emergency, I could ask her for a favor. - David Jul 9, 13:37 1

- The thread below is gold. -- nm - . Jul 9, 14:37
- It doesn't ruin my day at all but I do get annoyed for a couple of hours. It's no different than concert and event tickets. - Krusty Jul 9, 13:39

  - The "three wise beefcakes" are consoling and supporting the sneaker buyer who got sale-sniped by bots. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 13:07 12
    - Yeah, I got that... *confused gaze* - oblique Jul 9, 13:10 4
      - It's saying that only insecure wimps moan publicly about missing out on sneakers due to bots and real men have a more mature outlook on life. - Roger More Jul 9, 13:39 3
        
        I feel attacked. - Krusty Jul 9, 13:40
        
        So basically we're mocking Krusty? :) -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 13:39 1
        
        Seems so. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 13:40
    - Are any of them famous? Is Chief famous? -- nm - Max Jul 9, 13:09 6
      - No. It's a commentary on sneaker buyers. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 13:10 5
        
        I'm not entirely convinced you know the definition of subtweeting... -- nm - Ender Jul 9, 13:13 4
        
        It's subtweeting every sneaker buyer. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 13:15 3
        
        I'm not sure you can subtweet everything of something. -- nm - Ender Jul 9, 13:29
        
        basically making fun of Krusty! let's send him a Sbarro pizza to make him feel better! - Remlik Jul 9, 13:22 1
        
        I'd like to point out that I didn't complain about sneakers today. - Krusty Jul 9, 13:41

Speaking of renters, tax question I thought of and was curious about. - ty97 Jul 9, 12:49 9
- where does the person live? -- nm - decline Jul 9, 12:52 7
  - For example purposes, say I live in NYC in a rental apartment, but I own a place someplace else. - ty97 Jul 9, 12:55 2
    - Here's the IRS topic on your "main" home vs other - Max Jul 9, 12:58
    - gotcha - i is dumb -- nm - decline Jul 9, 12:56
  - They rent a house and own a lake house is how I took it. -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 12:53 3
    - then wouldn't the lake house be their primary residence? -- (edited) - decline Jul 9, 12:54 2
      - Nope. Your primary residence is a test so unless they spend most of their time at the lake it wouldn't be primary. -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 12:55 1
        
        Oh! nevermind. I misread his initial question -- nm - decline Jul 9, 12:56
- I'm 95% sure that the answers are Yes, yes, no. The exemption comes into play only if it is your primary residence. - spamlet Jul 9, 12:52
LILIR: David, did you buy most of your library direct from the vendor (like Vudu) or do you use instawatch codes, etc? I'm curious how you sourced - oblique Jul 9, 12:45 5
- A number of platforms like iTunes and Google Play have been known to upgrade certain titles to UHD. - Mop Jul 9, 14:06
- I have a mix, but some codes are 4k now. Also, new 4k purchases are usually the same price as HDX. - David Jul 9, 13:20 3
  - I'm guessing that's probably the difference in our libraries. Almost all of mine are UV transfers or code redemptions which don't upgrade to 4K -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 13:39 2
    - If you monitor Vudu's Mix & Match options on their Deals page... - David Jul 9, 13:48 1
      - Thanks. I'll keep an eye out -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 13:49
