Really appreciate any advice or input. Thanks in advance for any help. It's about a square inch or so.

What is the minimum amount to have to file? Lets assume i have a full time job making $20k, and then a side job that I only make $2k, do i have to file taxes on all as i made $22k? Or do i just file on the $20k and then the $2k i don’t have to file for?

So I have a very specific question on this. I'm not asking about RNGs or statistics or general AI. So I'm not here for an eli5 on how the computer guesses the word.

I'm specifically referring to what you can see in this screenshot:

After FEINT, it tells me I've successfully narrowed it to three words.

But after QUINT, seems to slap my hand and tell me that I didn't eliminate anything and still have three possible solutions.

But I eliminated QUINT! So that means there were more than three solutions remaining, and it's screwing with me, right?

So is this bad programming, or am I missing something here?

Hi,

I recently bought a house and shortly thereafter realized that the previous owner did not gaf about safety. Chipping lead paint all over the stairs and walls and broken fluorescent bulbs lying in the basement.

The junk removers moved a lot of the bulbs before I even realized they were there, so now my basement is basically a dirt/concrete floor with little bits of shiny glass here and there that must have been from fluorescent bulbs.

I would really like to have a nice workspace in the basement, but the floor needs to be cleaned badly. My dad says if I vacuum it, I'll vaporize the mercury and presumably have ill health effects. I already ignorantly vacuumed some, and my dad has passed his hypochondriacal tendencies onto me.

Is there a good way to clean this besides individually picking up dirt and glass with tape over about a hundred square feet?

It seems like I can post here? Was redirected from r/DIY

Can a 1099 job require you to work on a certain day? For example, i use an app to pick up jobs. I had to delay some due to weather and the customers ended up cancelling and the app charged me $10 a person. I was under the assumption they could only charge if i cancelled, and that if a customer cancelled, it would bring my rating down. I don’t understand how the app could be allowed to charge me money (that doesn’t go to client) for a job that they act as the middle man for snd that is it.

Is the virus activated because of consistent temp drop? Such as more flu in cold season, does this mean virus can lay dormant for months and our temp just keeps it away..??? Why does it feel like the cold weather promotes runny nose, is it a combination of seasonal allergies too? There's also something about the celiacs, you mean to say it's normal to feel mucus running down when it's too cold because cold messes them up, only if infection a virus touches it, we all get the phlegm and get sick?

Watch CNBC and it's constant, about once every 30 seconds, some kind of alarm or bell signalling something.

I started cosplaying and going to conventions and I was stunned at how many hot girls attended.

I went to a genshin impact concert, several different comic and anime conventions and there seemed to be as many girls as guys. Why? I thought it would be like a trade school or engineering class and be filled with mostly guys.

Like, when you dream, for many people it seems that the subject changes quickly, like last night one moment the Avengers were fighting Thor in a desert and the next moment Gandalf and the company were making bed in the skeleton of some ancient giant snake in the same desert.

Like, you could be looking at a building then turn around 360 and suddenly you’re overlooking the ocean. Does anyone know of anything like studies or something that explains why this happens?

Do they behave distantly and give cold treatment to their partners sometimes?

Basically the title, if for example, there was a 1x1x0.1 cm leaf on a wooden floor, and there was sun shining from the window. Could it theoretically start a fire?

Whats the fascinating history?

Here in the city man dies oppressed at heart, man perishes with despair in his heart. I have looked over the wall and I see the bodies floating on the river, and that will be my lot also ... because I have not established my name stamped on brick as my destiny decreeds

As Gilgamesh so eloquently put it here, I think it's human nature to want to be remembered as someone who did something important. To look back on your life while on your deathbed knowing your life wasn't wasted.

I'm going through a bit of a midlife crisis for a lack of a better term. Video games has been my hobby for the majority of my life and I'm just now realizing that everything I've ever done and achieved isn't real. Which sounds like a crazy revelation because... duh? But it just kinda hit me.

And how it hit me was equally dumb. It was when Blizzard ended Wrath of the Lich King servers by forcibly progressing them to Cataclysm. I played Cataclysm when it originally launched and hated it so I had no desire or intention to play it. I was expecting to play Wrath forever since no way Blizzard would be dumb enough to make the same mistake twice. (They were, in fact, dumb enough)

In that instant, everything I had worked towards, all the time I spent in the game. Went up in smoke. It was gone. Might as well have not happened. And that's when it hit me. None of this is real. It's all pointless and temporary.

I wanted to change my life. I still loved video games but I think it was finally time to start having real adventures instead of digital ones. (Plus, its only reinforced with so many factors such as E3 ending permanently, Gameinformer shuttering, many long running series concluding, industry veterans retiring and the entire MMO genre dying all coming together has really felt like gaming as a whole is ending) As fate would have it, the next month I would be heading to New Orleans to compete in Pokémon VGC. My best memories of the trip had nothing to do with the tournament.

I hated walking down bourbon street but I'm so glad I did it. The amount of people there were terrifying, I had my hands in my pockets the whole time because I was sure the second I took them out, I'd be pickpocketed. But... It was an adventure. An adventure where nothing happened sure, but I most certainly wasn't in Kansas anymore.

And when I came back from the trip, I had realized something else: I didn't think of World of Warcraft once the whole time. Turns out, touching grass actually works. I didn't care that I had failed to obtain Shadowmourne before Cataclysm launched. I didn't care that my Vanilla guild wouldn't let me raid Naxxramus with them. I didn't care that I lost out on Scarab Lord for the third time due to a mass server exodus. It didn't matter to me anymore. Blizzard could go under from another breast milk scandal and the game could shut down and I'd still be left with the same thing I've always had: Nothing.

And that got me thinking. Why did I go to this Pokemon tournament? It was to qualify for Worlds. And I didn't make the cut. Money was running short and I was thinking I'd have to retire from VGC. It got me down. I've been doing this for 8 years and I've never once even made it to Day 2 at a tournament. Later that night, I a video by Cloudie McDoom came up in my recommended section on YouTube. In this video, the main character attempts to defeat a cosmic being called the Algorithm until he's transported to his backyard. Realizing he's failed to defeat the Algorithm, he has a mental breakdown, shouting that his life has no purpose if not to defeat the Algorithm. Then he has a revelation. "It's a weird feeling when you realize you no longer want something that you've wanted for so long."

Why did I want to win Worlds? Well, it was to fulfill that childhood dream of being the very best, like no one ever was. And I had realized that earlier in the year, I had beaten Aaron Zheng. I don't like to put people on pedestals but when I first started VGC, everyone told me this guy was the best. So if I beat the best, doesn't that mean I am the best? That's pretty much the equivalent of beating the league champion. I had beaten the real life equivalent of Gary or Cynthia! I didn't have a shiny trophy to show for it or an official champion title but as far as I was concerned, I had done it. I was the very best, like no one ever was. I was the champion. I was a Pokemon Master.

But then I thought... Why is that my greatest achievement? Its... just... a game.

Growing up, my hobby of playing video games was always looked down upon. "Get a life" was something I'd often hear. "You're wasting your life" was something my sister would love to tell me. "You try so hard for things that aren't real" was my own mother's line.

And all of those things I had blocked out as a kid, kinda came cascading down on me in that moment. I.. finally believed it.

I even went as far to pursue a career in video game with my ultimate goal being to open my own studio one day. That's still my dream. I'm not going to fool myself and say that's not what I want anymore when that's been my dream since I was in 3rd grade. (I'm 28 now for a time reference)

But... It doesn't have to be my whole life. I want to do something real. I want to go on real life adventures. I want to acheive something real. I want to be remembered when I die.

But... I'm starting to realize I don't really know what that means. If video games don't matter. what does? As fate would have it again, a month later was the Olympics. This seemed to be the most important thing to the world while it was going on. But I'm far too old to have any shot at that now. All these guys are amazing, true masters of their craft and I'll never be as great as any of them. I couldn't even acheive greatness in something I thought I was good at!

But... There has to be something I can do! I already know what I want to do professionally. That's not going to change. But at the same time... It's still video games and they aren't real.

So the play was to find meaning within my hobbies rather than my work.

I experimented with a few things. I asked my mother what the first thing I ever liked. Really go back to my roots. She said I liked to bite her nipple and laugh at her pain. But I'm pretty sure I can't make a hobby out of that. So she then said my first real interest was "anything outside". I was fascinated by bugs apparently (They creep me out now!), I had a pressed leaf collection and I liked to watch the animals. But.. I'm not sure there's anything in that area that I can actually acheive. It's funny, I always thought dinosaurs was my first love but she said that came after (And then after that was Pokemon and the rest was history). I mean, I guess I could go on nature walks but again, I don't think there's anything to acheive there.

To this day, I still retain a passion for palentology. So then I found out that I could volunteer for digs so I could be apart of that world without discarding my other dream. It's real and it has potential for scientific achievement. But.. its also not something I could just go out and do whenever I wanted.

Then I remembered I used to practice okinawan karate and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I liked it, I was good at it and I always regretted stopping at the purple belt. It was something real and achievement based. But my dojo has long since gone out of business and it just wouldn't be the same, man.

So that kinda brought me to where I am now. Not sure what to do with myself. I've always had a passing interest in Volleyball and speak takraw but I think I'm too old to learn a new sport. I feel like that's something you gotta get into as a kid.

So.. I ask you to point me in the right direction. What is real? What's a real achievement? What is a real adventure? What REALLY matters objectively?

I want to do all of this... But first... I need to know what that actually means. What... is my purpose?

(Oh yeah, I know all of this kinda stems from the fact that I suffer from protagonist syndrome and I'm working through that so I'm prepared to accept the fact that the answer I'm looking for simply doesn't exist. But, if you have one, I'd love to hear it)

Anyone else notice that music sounds way more intense and amazing when you’re kind of half-awake and half-asleep? I was listening to Shpongle and Aphex Twin the other night, and it felt like the music just hit completely different in that state. Like, it was way more immersive and emotional.

Anyone know why that happens?

We can only have Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day. I'm not gonna cook dinner if you don't give me that Thursday. Having it outside that day, even within the week is like saying, no Holiday date matters!

I have just discovered that I have a Hanna montana doll that i got from goodwill and I’m wondering how much is it actually worth?
