Adam Schefter: Eric Bieniemy to Commanders OC is probably happening later today. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 06:32 14
- If the choice was between the Ravens OC and the Commanders OC, and he chose the Commanders, I'm so confused. -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 06:42 3
  - the Ravens gig comes with easy pitfalls. Lamar did it if they succeed and if they drop back he gets the blame cause they went from good to bad - Beaker Feb 17, 07:02 1
    - I guess, but most people know that you don't get Head Coaching gigs on a mediocre tean. Which is what the Commanders are most likely to be. -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 07:21
  - maybe he isnt a bird guy. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:45
- I hope this helps him get a head coaching job one day -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:36 9

    - The 2013 staff had like 5 future coaches including about 3 Super Bowl appearances and a few other FC title games - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:49 1

I have a tax question with regards to the house my dad will be helping me buy. - sycor Feb 17, 06:17 12
- Unrelated to taxes, the bank gave my son a lot of grief about approving his loan because we gave him $2000. - Fuzzy Feb 17, 07:04 3
  - when the rose bought her place, there were some unexpected costs and I loaned her 4k and the bank required I sign a form saying it was a gift -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 17, 11:01

- I know nothing…but my FIL gifted us a down payment via checks…said he would’ve just done via stock transfer, had he known the hassle of cash. - Flav Feb 17, 06:28
- (Caveat: Not a tax professional) He can give it as a gift, but because it’s over the annual threshold he will need to file a gift tax return - znufrii, promoted Feb 17, 06:26 6
  - That's what I've been reading. Would that affect me for tax purposes? I can't find a clear answer on that part. -- nm - sycor Feb 17, 06:27 5
    - No. If he has more assets than the exemption when he passes, the estate could be hit with taxes but any gift taxes are borne by the giver. -- (edited) - spamlet Feb 17, 06:28 3
      - Gotcha. Yeah from what I'm reading it seems like - sycor Feb 17, 06:34 2
        
        this is such a blessing. I wish more people would consider before end of life inheritance, sometimes it can make a huge difference -- nm - Epiphany aka sneaky link Feb 17, 07:32 1

- How did A do with the delays and whatnot? -- nm - spamlet Feb 17, 06:06 5
  - She was a trouper. A bit punchy by the end of it, but in good spirits. Passed out as soon as we got to the hotel. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Feb 17, 06:09 4
    - Trouper? What am I, a clown here to amuse you? - A si Feb 17, 06:51
    - better than most adults then! -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 06:26 2

One actress in Quantumania was so bad that I openly guffawed a couple of times when she spoke. - David Feb 17, 00:23 7
- The fact that this movie is the key to the new Avengers movie must really have Marvel scared. - Inigo Feb 17, 06:12 1
  - the greatest thing about the previous Ant Mans was they were just funny as hell, low-stakes diversions from the ponderous Avengers shit - hollywood big shot Feb 17, 06:47
- Poor Evangeline Lilly. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 05:26 4
  - I think it's probably Newton. - the wrong element Feb 17, 05:46 2
    - Naw, Newton is fine. It's Katy M. O'Brian. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 17, 05:49
    - Is your IM in this? Spoils - Will Hunting Feb 17, 05:47

I had to go deposit a check at Wells Fargo today at their flagship LA branch. one teller working but how many windows total do you think it has? - hollywood big shot Feb 16, 21:48 17

      - Whoa—that’s not much. -- nm - Flav Feb 17, 05:42 1
        
        eh, I sort of wonder about the veracity of that number. Like Hawaii who don't advertise " jumpers", would Casinos really give a large number? - Epiphany aka sneaky link Feb 17, 07:35
- Well our little neighborhood strip-mall branch has (I think) about 7 or 8. And, yes rarely more than one or two open. - Meg Feb 16, 21:54 1
  - I counted at least 15 standing in line. not that they probably used all of them at once but wild how much of banking used to be done in person - hollywood big shot Feb 16, 21:56

  - And now they can’t say for sure until the new pilots get here whether they will be able to fly us to Portland. -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Feb 16, 21:21 5
    - Wait--so one flight attendant gets sick...and the whole crew can't fly? Was that the one powering the plane with their bicycle? - Flavorize Feb 16, 21:54 3
      - There’s a mandated number of flight attendants for safety reasons. I believe it’s one per 50 passengers. - spamlet Feb 17, 02:05
