Longtime follower of WCI & have listened to all of the podcasts. The most recent one included information from Andrew about PSLF & with taxes coming up, I guess its that time to start thinking about taxes. My wife has federal student loans & we have gone back & forth between filing MFS or MFJ as our incomes have changed going from fellowship to attending to moving to different states the last few years. I know the correct decision 100% depends on our situation, finances & state we live in, but with the BBB & tax season coming up I wanted to make sure I had my information correct before diving into crunching our personal numbers & decid...

For all my CC explorations in the last year, I've felt *maybe a little uneasy* a few times - but mostly OK about the trade off. I use CC. I'm not sure where all that back and forth data really goes... but my *current projects* aren't enterprise and filled with industry secrets or NDA stuff. But it's been a question that I know I'm going to have to answer at some point soon. Not Claude or CC specific - but in general, every team meeting is recording our voices, video, tone, summarizing (often incorrectly), storing, sharing - all of the *everything*. There are even programs that can listen to you over the phone and accurately guess what you're typing in Slack beh...

Canada Goose Flagship store in Sanlitun CBD,Beijing, one of the most luxurious shopping area in this city with a population of roughly 25 million (almost on par with entire population of Canada), right across from where Louis Vuitton is located as well. Despite about 10-30% markup compared to in Canada and US I’ve actually seen a LOT of people here at least in Beijing who wear them (can’t comment if they are all legit tho) Even a cold room is installed, set to -5 to simulate (on a good day) Canadian winter weather where you can walk in and test out the level of insulation your parka provides.

Hi. So in my first year of high school, I befriended a guy and we've been friends since. The problem is that I need to cut him off before it's too late. We're currently in our 4th year of high school, but we've had many ups and downs since we met. Specifically: his behaviour. I understand we're just teenagers and make mistakes but we disagree fundamentally on a lot of things, not politics, but a specific argument (or heated discussion, I suppose) was about wether or not you should tell your partner if their behaviour bothers your friends (I am of the opinion that if your friend's or their partner's behaviour bothers you, you should tell your friend. I woul...

Short-ish Story: friend of mine knows I drive spark and is a pretty frequent delivery customer. He likes texting me questions about things from time to time. Last night he asked me about a guy completing his delivery but he wasn’t the driver, he was working out of the passenger side. After checking if somehow the car was RHD, I told him to roast the guy, he’s his buddy’s competition after all. The team lead from the store emailed him back with the screenshot just now. What would *you* tell him? I guess the ToS don’t spell it out in black and white, but my brain just keeps saying “The delivery *driver* wasn’t the *DRIVER*”. Can anyone point me towards the section/subsection t...

Plus is Medishop legit??? This will be my first time ordering from them, Uni starts next month and I am changing my skincare routine a bit. For context, I havent touched sunscreen in 19 years and am currently dealing with the consequences, I have very pale skin overall but my face esp my forehead is 3 shades darker than my chest, The difference is honestly so noticible its almost laughable. 🙃 I have been using Skinoren and a good sunscreen CONSISTENTLY like my life depends on it for the past 5 months. My skin tolerates it all pretty well but recently, I tried this cream called biofad and mera skin ka bera garak ho gaya hai. I have stopped using all actives and am just slathering on moi...

My husband (39M) and I (31F) have been married for a few months now. We met and had one of those “when you know you know” relationships and got engaged a few months later. When we were talking about getting married, he told me he had bought and picked out a ring. He asked me if I minded that I didn’t pick it out, and I specifically said as long as it wasn’t something you picked out for someone else I don’t mind, but I’m not wearing another girl’s ring. Other than that, no I didn’t mind, I’m very sentimental and I loved the idea that he had chosen it himself. I loved the ring and so does everyone else, I get a ton of compliments on it and I’m always telling him what a good...

Hey all, I am a little nervous about a purchase I just made on AliExpress. I know a lot of people here buy from them so I want to get your opinions on how sketchy this looks. I came across an "Early Bird Winter Sale" from an AliExpress store called "MechLands" and it seemed too good to be true. An Epomaker G84 for $35 when the normal price is $70. I've heard of others getting crazy sales from AliExpress so I thought it might be legit. The seller looks legit and it said ships from the USA (where I am), but idk how easy that is to fake on AliExpress. The page showed "Only 1 left" so I decided to go for it. After buying I decided to check the page again and...

I'll start: Opening 4 Double Crisis 2-pack blisters when they were $40 a piece. Turning down a deal for $150 for a Team Up and Unbroken Bonds Booster Box bundle. Finding 2 XY Evolutions ETBs during the last reprint but opening them. Overlooking countless $29.99 BREAKpoint, BREAKthrough, Fates Collide, and Steam Siege ETBs when stores had hundred of them. Having 3 empty Team Up Build and Battle Boxes. Not buying any Evolutions when it was filler and $80 per booster box. Opening every XY Generations Mythical box I had ($17 each at the time) The list goes on an on. When I see how much some of these things are worth now, it ***** knowing I'll never have them in my collection a...

Hello, I was just wondering if the lease I got was a good or bad deal. I’m a single Mom without much family and unfortunately had to negotiate on my own. MSRP for the base model CRV LX Metallic Gray is $34,000, The Adjusted Cap cost after discounts is $31,797. Before taxes and fees I pay $444.90 and after taxes and fees my final monthly payment is $482.16 over 35 payments with 15,000 miles. Dealer covered first payment with additional incentive. The $482 also includes a maintenance package from the dealer for the lease term. The money factor is 0.00237 and I put $0 down with nothing due at signing. The residual is $20,322.00. I make about $106 k per year and would have financed but I ...

Hi! I'm about to turn 25 years old, and for the past several months I've been a flight attendant. The job is easy and gives me lots of free time, but I'm not sure if it's what I want to do forever. A few years ago I first heard about Waldorf education and became entirely fascinated by it. Recently, it dawned on me that becoming a Waldorf elementary teacher might be my calling. It just intuitively feels so right. However, in addition to Waldorf training, I would have to go back to school for my Bachelor's. Despite being an academic kid, I unfortunately dropped out less than 2 years into college because of the pandemic and my mental health. On the bright s...

^((this post took me two days to make. Sorry ahead of time for the long post......but everyone knows MAGAts dont read so i figure anyone who LOVES to read.......will be here. :3)) # Wanna start off by saying.....everyone HERE reading this......we KNOW we're primed to get started. We know how to find info outside of the cowards at CNN and every other mainstream news place. In fact......sometimes when arguments start between us.......it only ends up as the pastor preaching to the choir. Its safe to say.......WE are ALL on the same page. **Who was holding up the process of getting to the next step were normies.** Your Grandpop.....maw maw......Auntie Carrie.....and Uncle Willis who do...

I’ve posted here before but it’s been so long I find myself questioning if the relationship was really that toxic… For prior context, we had dated twice before. Once when I was 12 and she was 15, and again when I was 15 and she was 18. We had met online on Xbox and I was too young to ever really have a “serious” or mature relationship. Neither of these relationships were very healthy and they were both long distance as we had met online and both started with really intense love before things just kind of faded over time. It would always end with her blocking me after an argument or discussion about how I was feeling. I was too young to properly learn my lesson and kept going back...

Hi! Just spent the week in Paris and I'm a bit nervous as I've heard that CDG is really stressful for flying. Just a couple of questions if anyone can answer them to ease my nerves. 1. How should I store food in my bag? Should it be in a box or is the brown packaging ok? It is wrapped inside as well. 2. Does all technology AND metal items need to come out? I've never had an airport where I've need to take the metals out too. 3. I'm from Scotland, do I need an European Travel Information and Authorisation System Visa? 4. What other advice would you give us? We are arriving 4 hours early just to make sure we're on time but I'm just really nervous about ...

Hi guys! Next week i’m traveling to London, and i’m thinking about picking up a stone island piece. Are there any shops outside of the official flagship store that would be of recommendation? Also, do the irl stores have discounts as the digital has rn, or is that sale strictly online only? Thanks for all answers in advance!

You know that little flutter in your chest when you see 'Only 2 left in stock!' or 'Deal ends in 3 hours!'? That's not just excitement; it's a carefully engineered psychological trigger. As I sit here with my chai, watching how seamlessly these messages integrate into our shopping, I often wonder why we, as consumers, remain so vulnerable to them. The foundation for this tactic is the 'scarcity principle' (a psychological phenomenon stating that people place a higher value on things that are scarce), a concept deeply explored by Dr. Robert Cialdini. He explains that the feeling of potential loss is a far more powerful motivator than the possibility of...
