  1. this effect is overstated. if you're in llc or partnerships, business profits pass through to shareholders for self-employment tax -- which includes SS and Medicare. s-corp owner-employees are required to pay "reasonable compensation" before distributions can be made. and then, to get dividend at the discounted LTCG it has to be qualified dividend. special dividends and other distributions from a businesses like a real estate syndicate isnt going to count. the social security contribution is capped to a modest $170k base, anyway. and medicare is a few measly percentage points off of income. sure there's going to be some tax advantages to running a business. on the other hand, putting in capital and running a business is a risky venture in itself, and you'll need to employ and pay for employees (=tax contribution) if the business is going to generate something productive. if you can earn $1M annually from a mature, well capitalized company, its not exactly a slam dunk to go off on your own.
  2. I dont think this market move is wholly ascribed to DeepSeek, and this market move has lots of confounding effect. -january is seasonally slow for equity index (post santa rally) -us AI-centric valuation were already stretched, ex china -the deepseek claims seem a bit sketchy i bet SPX ends up flat-to-up by week end.
  3. People never exposed to pnl or financial plumbing think DSO/Credit/Collections issue dont exist in B2B. Amazing. Hell theres a $150B company out there whose job is to quantify supplier and credit risk.

  5. my mom uses an electric peppermill, thats widely available on amazon and alichina. super useful for one handed operation while cooking. love my unicorn mills manual grinder but it is a bit overkill and it does make a lot of residue on the bottom end.
  6. I have 2 de buyer and its impossible to warp because its so goddamn thick and heavy…far more than any stainless ones that includes allclad and demeyere.
  7. Victorinox bread knife. Cuts everything…tomatoes, protein roasts (wtf needs a carving knife) etc. Had it for years and never need sharpening. Not that you can sharpen serrated knives anyway.
  8. A friend said they went down the wrong run not knowing the lift would immediately close and got “stuck” in the wrong country for the night. Had to get emergency hotel room. Not sure if it was this resort.
  9. His performance is easily the least convincing in the main cast. This goes for the 10+ shows and movies I’ve seen him in.
  10. Common’s rapper-cum-actor turn is interesting. His silky baritone voice is perfect for his music but is so monotone and wooden in acting.
  11. being drunk was probably the best thing for that guy. drunk dudes survive almost anything.
  12. Or this
  13. Are you doing Z-shaped parallel skids? If so, the biggest difference is in posture. If your upperbody is inactive/immobile and upright in the turn, there is no weight on the ski and it skids out against the edge. You probably had to rotate your lower body and skis to initiate the turn. Instead your upperbody should be active and leaning opposite of your lower body. This centers your mass over the skis and lets them ride along the edge instead of against it. You initiate the turn by leaning with your knees and skis instead of rotating them. Whole body should look like this >> or << instead of // or \\
  14. Gnar Pow today and tomorrow
  15. the zoomer brocolli haircuts are getting out of control
  16. shreddin the gnar pow
  17. no, but i've made $20,000 50 times
  18. the ikea acaia board feels the proper level of softness. and - it is a very dumb reason - but it makes a really pleasant sound when you chop onto it, unlike plastic or rubber or etc. note they also sell bamboo boards and those dont have the same qualities. they feel a bit harsh on knives.
  19. yeah i used to have a lot of sympathy for aljo but im also seeing why hes such a turnoff for fans. the other good trait of merab is he is incredibly loyal to his friends like aljo. dude's one of the good guys on the roster.
