I've really been enjoying long walks through a nearly deserted Central Park with my pup. And I'm glad for the company while stuck in the apartment. Several dog owners in the building have agreed that we'll each step up to the plate if one of us becomes unable to care for their mutt. (Well, mine is probably the only mutt. The rest are likely purebreds in this bougie building.) So I assume I'd either grab theirs for the duration, or them mine. I've read that the virus wouldn't live as long an a porous surface like dog fur as it would on, say, metal or plastic. I guess if I were truly concerned I could rush the new foster dog to the tub and bathe her. But like others, my vote is go for it. Kevin Slater

Simply reposing from twitter ( @urdadssidepiece ) cuz I think it's cool. The left is seasons 1-11 and the right adds in All Stars 1-4. Nodes are sized by # of lip sync wins respective to that network. Kevin Slater

It's been out a while and I've recommended it before, but if you haven't yet, try American Vandal on Netflix. Definitely worth binging. Kevin Slater

This was recommended to me, but I was told to watch Unorthodox first. Kevin Slater

Methinks this is a good example of selection bias. Kinda hard for the yeses to chime in. Kevin Slater

Ditto. And listening to the Game of Thrones series (audiobook) as I take the dog on very long walks through a nearly deserted Central Park. Kevin Slater

Not a fan. Too many pitfalls. And I'm afraid the dynamic of any future booking may be off; people often tend to engage in obligations for which they've already been paid begrudgingly, like they're doing you a favor by upholding their end. I understand that this guy needs some help. That's when he should look to friends and family, but not clients. Kevin Slater

I vote for continuing to contribute. The upshot of dollar cost averaging is that you invest in down markets as well as up markets. Think of how many more shares you'll be getting at these prices! Kevin Slater

That first headline is perfect. Kevin Slater

Yes, goddammit. Kevin Slater

Definitely. Love her bow. I'd say so. 1 and 20 for me. So we still need 4 and 16! Kevin Slater

I've read conflicting reports. MSNBC is reports Q: I'm self-employed and didn't previously qualify for unemployment. Am I eligible now? Yes. This bill creates a new program, called Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, that extends benefits to gig workers, contractors and others who wouldn't otherwise qualify for unemployment compensation but cannot work due to the coronavirus emergency. You'll get the $600 per week, plus half the average unemployment benefit in your state. NYT reports Are gig workers, freelancers and independent contractors covered in the bill? Yes, self-employed people would be newly eligible for unemployment benefits. Benefit amounts would be calculated based on previous income, using a formula from the Disaster Unemployment Assistance program, according to a congressional aide. Self-employed workers would also be eligible for the additional $600 weekly benefit provided by the federal government. But in either case, self-employed folk get the $600 on top of some other figure. Kevin Slater

Unrelated side-rant that I've been wanting to spew for a while: They really need to stop fucking with the forms. For my entire adult life, I think, there was a standard look and feel to the 1040. Tax laws would change and maybe there'd be a slight tweek in the form (like adding a line or perhaps two), but in general, this year's return would look like last years'. These bullshit new schedules one through three are unnecessary and make it far too confusing to follow the path of the numbers. I suspect it's all toward to goal of making the first page of the 1040 look clean and simple (akin to the oft-stated goal of having your tax return fit on a postcard), but that's bs when you create four new pages to replace the half-page you eliminated.

I read this as "He is my friend. He is 40 years old. He lives on 40th Street and 10th Avenue. He is a good guy". Kevin Slater

My understanding is that the determinant is your AGI (either from your 2019 return, or 2018 if you have yet to file for 2019). As I think RMDs and a Roth conversion all add to your AGI, yes, those would count toward the stimulus limits (<75K to get the whole $1200, nothing for those >99k). I wonder if one could game the system by rushing to file her 2019 return if she has a Roth conversion in 2018, say. Kevin Slater

So... what are you wearing? Kevin Slater

I hadn't. Kevinboy SlaterXXL

Two (three?) words: FileMaker Pro. Kevin Slater

Saw it a while back. (Must have been in preview or something?) Didn't care for it. Kevin Slater

Sure, if he's a regular. Then again, my threshold for being considered a regular is pretty high. Kevin Slater

I realluy wanted to do that with the first one, but I think they didn't send anything that would be appropriate to burn. I think I wasn't inclined to destroy the original documentation. I guess this is where the term in effigy comes in. Kevin Slater
