- Ooh. Forgot about that. *updates his spreadsheet* -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 14, 08:50 9
  - Do you even need a spreadsheet if you aren't itemizing?! -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 08:51 8
    - It maps out our entire tax picture for the year, not just deductions. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 14, 08:53 7
      - I haven't even done my first mockup for the year yet. Too many fund like to distribute dividends and cap gains at year end. -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 08:54 6
        
        Many of them have released their estimates so you could spreadsheet based on that -- nm - decline Dec 14, 09:26 2
        
        I ain't looking up all those funds individually! -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 09:32 1
        
        (plus I don't even know where they list these estimates) -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 09:51

        I'll look after 12/31 because I can estimate the 1099s once the year ends in order to make a mock-up -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 08:57
- "Nearly nine in 10 taxpayers now take the standard deduction" That stat amazes me -- nm - ty97 Dec 14, 08:39 3
  - That was the whole point of the changes in TCJA - spamlet Dec 14, 08:50 1

Spiderman PSA: alot of reviews are including spoilers per reports I am seeing; so I'd avoid reading ANYTHING about the movie -- nm - Beaker Dec 14, 08:00 6

DTLSTI: Shawnee d. Branson 83-79, Starkville d. Branson 88-81. Spam, you're not allowed to bring you own refs to our scrimmages anymore. - Baron Please Come Home Dec 14, 07:26 14
- Starkville 3-1 with Buffalo running next. Beat Corpus Christi, Shawnee, and Branson. Lost to Hartford those dicks. -- nm - rollo Dec 14, 07:55 8
  - I saw my shooting percentage first and figured I lost by 25 - Will Hunting Dec 14, 08:30 4
    - So you won two DTLSTI games shooting well under 40%. You must tell us your secrets. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 14, 08:33 3
      - Here's the secret -- 43 offensive rebounds vs 13 for the opponents - Will Hunting Dec 14, 08:38 2
        
        I'm playing Zone this year so I knew my rebounding would take a hit. - Baron Please Come Home Dec 14, 08:42 1
        
        I'll be honest -- my rebound is terrible overall (+3 total) and 2 of the 3 exhibition games, I got out-OR'ed 14-7 by spamlet and a mediocre rando. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 08:45
  - I’m missing the the CC game. What’s the score? -- nm - spamlet Dec 14, 08:00 1
    - 64-57 despite both teams playing fast pace. -- nm - rollo Dec 14, 09:56
  - I think I'll be recruiting only point guards this cycle -- nm - rollo Dec 14, 07:59
- Huh weird. Hartford beat Starkville 88-81 as well. - spamlet Dec 14, 07:29 3
  - At one point in our game, the foul discrepancy was 19 to 4. That's entering Lakers-Kings territory. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 14, 07:34 2
    - I’d wonder if recruiting for INT would help with that but I’m often in foul trouble - spamlet Dec 14, 07:35 1
      - It probably helps a little. Pace of play is probably a bigger factor. More possessions = more opportunities to foul - Baron Please Come Home Dec 14, 07:43
- In those two scrimmages, 88% of my FG were assisted. I don't know whether to be pleased or disturbed. - Baron Please Come Home Dec 14, 07:29

- 0 in the room I'm in but 2 within 20 feet. -- nm - zunk xometimes Dec 14, 07:12
- 4. 2 in office, 2 on wall next to elevator -- nm - Beaker Dec 14, 07:10 1
  - 2 next to stairwells, 2 near lunch room; probably another couple around here too; not counting other people's offices -- nm - Beaker Dec 14, 07:11
- I think there's 1 somewhere in the office here -- nm - decline Dec 14, 07:10
- There are countless in my office (wall dispensers, bottles on every surface). But without moving I can reach 2: one on my desk, one in my purse. -- nm* - Andie Dec 14, 07:09
