- we do in some form -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 14:52
- our tax group uses it. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 1, 14:51 14
  - so are there people dedicated to it, and where are those job listings? I'm wondering - loosilu Oct 1, 14:57 13
    - We use it extensively but don't advertise for that skill because it's assumed everyone knows how to use it. - amanda Oct 1, 15:23 9
      - It should be considered a skill to navigate around the stupidly hampered Excel online features. -- nm - Max Oct 1, 15:54 4
        
        Open it in the app! You're an adult! -- nm - What I always say at work Oct 1, 17:14 2

        for where i work the admins have other admin roles, so typically we just call them like Tax Technology Admin -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 1, 15:46 1
        
        interesting, thank you! I am always admin for many roles -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 16:31
      - at least for us, it seems to just be a fancier way of saying "all your case files are existing in the cloud now" - mr mooch Oct 1, 15:27
    - Not sure, I just know they use it. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 1, 15:21
    - For us, I think India. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Oct 1, 15:20 1
      - Interesting, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 15:30
It seems impossible to me that Spencer Torkelson is a professional baseball player and not a character from a college comedy from the 80s. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 14:50
Two game lead over the whole league in Caveman. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 1, 14:48

Heyward smashed that ball. Baseball is amazing. -- nm - David Oct 1, 14:38
hmm. Royals/Orioles game is 0 to 0. ESPN win probability says Orioles have a 62% chance of winning. - tRuMaN Oct 1, 14:08 4
- The Orioles were the better team over 162…they had a small edge coming in. Home field just helps a bit more. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 1, 14:25
- personally if my Cy Young ace was pitching a shutout in the playoffs, i would score a run or two for him -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 14:09 1

oh this headline is great too: "‘Threatening the Planet’: Harris Called Out Over Private Jet Use" - Knewz -- nm - Jovian Oct 1, 13:07 8
- they are all up in arms about the photo of her at the desk working. The pages are blank if you zoom in and her headphone is not even PLUGGED IN!! - Pippy aka Couch Therapist Oct 1, 13:14 2
  - except, you can see where it's plugged in. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 15:33
  - remember the photo of donny sitting at a receptionists desk looking like he was working and the pages were blank -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 1, 14:21
- I also saw that CNN is warning us of a Senate GOP blockage of any supreme Court nominees she makes. - Spawn Oct 1, 13:10
- This reminds me of the last days of the McCain campaign. It was just one desperation Hail Mary after another. -- nm - David Oct 1, 13:09 3
  - except Twitter was still a year away -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 13:19
  - I don't know these women in their private jets seem to be a problem. - Spawn Oct 1, 13:18 1
    - Put a kitchen in the jet and show her making her hubby a samwich. -- nm - jnine Oct 1, 14:46
the Detroit Tigers may never lose again -- nm - prayformojo Oct 1, 12:56 2
- Oh. The Orioles got the Royals. I thought they got the Tigers. Still no guarantee the way the O's are playing but better odds at least. -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 13:13
- Free advice: score more than 3 runs just in case. -- nm - David Oct 1, 12:59
The amount of rain that fell from Helene was equivalent to the volume of Lake Tahoe -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 1, 12:56 2
- Is that a lot? - Spawn Oct 1, 13:05 1
  - depends on the size of the affected area. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 14:59
i just wonder how much of the Trump endorsed gofundme for the hurricane victims will actually go to victims. -- (edited) - tRuMaN Oct 1, 12:51 6
- Electing him is in their best interest so he will put it all in his campaign to make sure he can help them someday, but not now. -- nm - jnine Oct 1, 14:52
- he got banned from running charities in NY because he stole from cancer kids. we don’t have to wonder about such things -- nm - mr mooch Oct 1, 12:59
- 1 dollar, Drew! - Qale Oct 1, 12:53
- Exactly as much as he tells them it is. - Jovian Oct 1, 12:52 1
  - ie The answer is completely irrelevant -- nm - Jovian Oct 1, 12:53
- 3.125% -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 12:52
Imagine 10 years ago and you read these headlines from the future and the outlets they are from, youd be like WTAF! - Jovian Oct 1, 12:48 2
- There was no way that third one wouldn't be AI. Most wouldn't walk through flood waters, much less a germaphobe. -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 12:52
- That first one sounds like terrific satire. -- nm - David Oct 1, 12:50
Magic the Gathering's most played format is Commander. It was guided by an independent rules committee. After high profile card bans? Absolute chaos. -- (link) - Qale Oct 1, 12:42 2
- I never played MtG. I did play Hearthstone for a while, but was too beholden to consistent internal deck theme to be any good at it. -- nm - Barony Bunch Oct 1, 13:01 1
  - I haven't played in quite a few sets. The last time I swung by was for another go-round with Innistrad, the plane full of werewolves and vampires. - Qale Oct 1, 13:07
An extensive survey of Houston's sidewalks doesn't really offer many surprises. Those most likely in poor conditions are in the poorest areas. - Qale Oct 1, 12:09 12
- same week the city approved $11b to keep widening their already choked highway system -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 1, 12:16 2
  - Like most everything you post, that's misleading. The city didn't approve of it, that's Texas and the Feds. But you knew that. -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 12:44
  - It's like they never played SimCity -- nm - JD Oct 1, 12:17
- "It is generally the responsibility of the owner to build and maintain sidewalks on their property." WTH? -- (edited) - JD Oct 1, 12:13 8
  - It being Texas, I presume it's born out of very misguided libertarian, I take care of my own, you take care of yours, mentality. -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 12:45
  - I assume that’s badly explained. Public sidewalk would be in road right of way which typically includes portion of your front yard. - VMan Oct 1, 12:39 6
    - Where I live sidewalk replacement is 50/50. You pay half the village/city pays half. And is to a degree voluntary. - . Oct 1, 12:44 5
      - For public walk we’re basically expected to keep clear (shovel, salt, no obstructions, etc.). However, even that is getting more legal challenges. -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 12:49
      - I thought sidewalks were part of what all of those HOA fees went to in covenant-bound neighborhoods and then municipal taxes for the rest. - Qale Oct 1, 12:47 3
        
        We’re at the stage now that City takes cash in lieu of sidewalks for new development a lot of the time. Then never puts them in. Win-win?! -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 12:51 2
        
        That's exactly where we are. Take the cash from developers instead and then add it to the slush fund. -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 12:53 1
        
        Yup. Then pay much more later when residents demand (at least) one. -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 12:55
nm -- nm* - Beryllium Oct 1, 12:08 3
- Rain in Spain 🌧️ -- nm* - Trending Oct 1, 12:20 2
  - Yeah, that's probably good advice on that topic. Thanks. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 12:24 1
    - eh... lol -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 1, 12:31

  - Also this makes me want The Accountant 2 x Tom Cruise Reacher 3 -- nm - Max Oct 1, 16:39
  - (secretly love, obvs) -- nm - ☀️ broccoli chem ☀️ Oct 1, 13:28
  - It does seem to take place in a somewhat rural area so another missed opportunity. -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 13:14
TIL that Schwab is using Average Cost Method for the mutual fund I've been buying in waves starting in 2014. - ty97 Oct 1, 12:05 4
- Is this in a taxable account? wouldn’t it only matter if you were redeeming (selling) shares? -- nm* - znufrii Oct 1, 12:14 3
  - It's a taxable investment account, not a retirement account. - ty97 Oct 1, 12:58 2
    - Huh. I only invest in ETFs, so it’s not entirely relevant to me, but now I’m curious to find out more. - znufrii Oct 1, 13:22 1
      - I'm mostly in ETFs, but these are funds I started buying years ago, before I knew the joys of ETFs -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 13:30

Me: Training for a Fall marathon has been kind of miserable. I regret signing up. Also Me: I wonder what Spring marathon I should do. -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 11:59 6
- I had to downgrade to a half this weekend. injury/illness killed my training. I may struggle with the half. -- nm - mafic Oct 1, 18:17
- it's the reason that Heather's only doing the 10K -- nm - prayformojo Oct 1, 12:45 1
  - I plan to struggle through. The time goal I had when I started training is out the window though. -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 13:16
- Spring races kind of rule with regards to training but that's here. You actually have seasons and weather sooooo -- nm - JD Oct 1, 12:05 2
  - As long as it's not ice, I think I prefer winter training to summer training. -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 12:06 1
    - Indeed. Rain sucks but one can always put on more clothes for cold. Society kind of frowns upon the reverse approach to hot weather -- nm - JD Oct 1, 12:09
Boris Johnson claims in memoir Queen Elizabeth II had bone cancer....(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Oct 1, 11:53
Fat bear week canceled as one bear killed a rival live on bear cam -- (link) - zeitgeist Oct 1, 11:52 2
