Had a nephew that looked into this - besides the tax issue is medical insurance. Your company policy may just apply to coverage in the US. He was seriously considering moving to eastern Europe but got really sick while on a "scouting trip" and found out his insurance didn't cover him while he was over there... Your policy (or credit card) may cover you on a vacation but if the insurance company finds out you were "living" out of the country, you could get screwed...

5 days Barcelona, 7 in Miami Platja and 3 in London in July. Then a week on the Comal...

My best friend's kid made the U18 team from Australia next month in Portugal so I guess I'll have to root for the Soccer-roos...

You had me going until you added one of the -stans to your list... Pilaf and horse meat sausages down south east...

Just got an offer for 3 free months of Clear. I had signed up for a free trial a few years ago when traveling with the family (as I have GE but they don't). Worked fine for our trip and then I cancelled the trial after the trip. This came via email so I'm not sure if anyone can get the same trial but here are the details (My plan is to sign up by the 29th for the 3 month free trial again and then cancel in August after the next family trip...): *Terms apply. Limited time only—offer valid through 5/29/23. After your free trial, CLEAR Plus Membership renews at $189/year. Family Member accounts renew annually at $70 each per year after initial free trial term and are billed to the Primary Member account. Cancel anytime before your free trial ends.

Just got the game on via a CA stream and saw one of their commercials - ARCO now accepting credit cards for gas? WTF?

My best friend is working at one of the international schools in the Baltics and the parents of the Russian students that attend have complained about their kids getting "harassed" by the natives post UKR invasion. Attitude at the school has been "too bad - your country invaded Ukraine - what do you expect?"

When I was watching, I kept thinking all the "India news" is a false flag being planted and they swallowed it hook, line and sinker...

My fight this year is the actual land value that went up 400% from what its been for years... (I live in a "master planned community" that has been built out for years where there are no empty lots where they can use as comps...) Last fight I had with them - and got my rate reduced - had them saying I couldn't use comps on houses outside my neighborhood as they didn't apply. So how are they justifying the land value increases? If its from a lot that is miles away, can I use the housing comps from that distance away as well? On top of that, they were previously basing the land value apparently by the lot size but this year, they had every lot on the street with the exact same assessment regardless of the size of the lot... As my lot is one of the smaller ones on our street, the percentage of increase on my lot was higher than the larger lots... Lazy frigging assessors... GFU...

Similar property tax calculator as above but cheaper. (Looks like it's not ready yet for some counties...) https://jubally.com/

Thanks - I didn't realize this limit was lifted... KU, KSU - tomato, tamato...

Maybe covered earlier but isn't there a limit of how many scholarships (25 or 32?) a team can give out a year? There was a story elsewhere about all the issues KState was having the past 2 years filling their roster because of this limit...

Good pickup!

So my teen asked me if I could put some of his money down on a stock tip he got from another kid who's dad is a day trader. I said I'd put down a few hundred if we he wants but be prepared to lose it as it's a "penny stock" which I figured was perfect to share with this board... The comments from his friend was this (teen speak): it’s 4 cents a share. and could u put 100$ into it it’s backed by of a 14 billion dollar mining company. and has developed Rawanda - he was mining person of the year in 2013. also ron lawizki who’s pretty well know in the Canadian mining industry. all these people have been in involved in taking minor mining companies and and turning them into 100 million dollar market caps. and i think they are going to do it again. It's advice from a teen (who's dad has actually made some pretty good coin) to another teen so take it with a grain of salt but I figure a few hundred bucks down can't be any worse than some of the the bucks I've tossed on some stonks here.. Stock is SKKRF...

I quoted someone else quote but in that link it does say specifically about Carkson's Farm: "Prime Video already has a number of shows in the works with Clarkson, which are going to go ahead, but the decision effectively means that “Clarkson’s Farm” will end with Season 3 (expected in 2024)." So it sounds like there will at least be another season of Clarkson's Farm...

Well, the thread is called Clarksons Farm...

I think they have Season 3 contracted (2024 release) but are terminating any seasons after that (for now...)

EU based companies must have "green"/carbon strategies in place in order to be able to borrow funds for projects. Wanna borrow $1B for a platform? Better have a green energy policy in place...

Tasters choice coffee commercials...

Episode just dropped...

Similar story - was running through CDG to catch a connecting flight back to the US the day before Christmas and all the luggage carts were gone so I had to drag all my crap between terminals. Customs guys did their security stop close to the gate and asked "why are you sweating???" (said with a shitty French/Inspector Clouseau accent...)

There is/was a football manager simulation game where you can "play" multiple seasons where you as manager/owner make the decisions on how/where to spend your money over the course of a season. You needed to make decisions after every simulated match based on player injuries, stadium condition, attendance numbers, etc.

Interesting since the training (input) data for ChatGPT is from September 2021 (and earlier)... (unless they've changed the data since a few weeks ago...)

I want a GIF of the jinx(s) comment by Rebecca to use in the football, recruiting and basketball boards...
