great news! I found a lemon kit kat I didn't know existed in the freezer. bad news: I found it because I had to empty out the whole damn freezer - amanda Aug 8, 10:22 14
- Lemon kit-kat is awesome. I was so mad I missed them this year. -- nm - sycor Aug 8, 11:20
- Ok, why does an allegedly frozen can of juice explode? Or be liquid enough to leak explode means bacterial build up, leak is defrosted????? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 10:54 2
  - it was minute maid frozen limeade concentrate. it was so hot here yest that it melted some on the way home. I tossed into freezer, it must have hit a - amanda Aug 8, 11:12 1

    - yep, the used to be much meaner than they are now. everybody was okay with it because you were stupid to go on reality tv. -- nm - colin Aug 8, 09:54 5
      - I firmly believe that trashy reality TV is one component of the trashy reality of our society. People want the attention and it's the fast path to it. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 8, 10:02 3
        
        you can track this via the casting of some reality shows. Some veered into the trash with their casting (Big Brothers), while others dabbled - Beaker Aug 8, 10:09 2
        
        I believe this era started with honey boo boo and my super sweet sixteen. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 8, 10:32 1

  - That’s not how tax credits work. It doesn’t matter whether or not you get a refund every year. Credit eligibility is based on your total tax liability. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 8, 09:38 6
    - Of course, you're absolutely right. But the fact of the matter is it's easiest for me to comprehend in this way. - Mop Aug 8, 09:45
    - IE: Make sure you have paid at least $7500 (in the case of EV) of tax. I probably should email our tax person and see if we need to do anything - oblique Aug 8, 09:41 4
      - Mostly right. I don’t know if they changed it here, but the prior credit was actually subject to the AMT floor, not the zero floor. - znufrii Aug 8, 09:43 3
        
        The trick is... I don't know how I'm supposed to make that happen? Like buy stock? Withdraw early from my 401K? -- nm - Mop Aug 8, 09:52 2

Email I just got from a coworker (who lives in Dubai) - "Hey, I have two friends visiting the US. Can your company write invitation letters for them?" - colin Aug 8, 09:17 6

  - Wait, that's pretty bad. -- nm - Mop Aug 8, 09:27 1
    - but can you put a price on it? just for negotiation sake -- nm - colin Aug 8, 09:37
