re: AI answers the ultimate OT question: Can a 100 unarmed men defeat a gorilla in a fight?
Posted by Pintail on 4/28/25 at 5:24 pm
Is this 100 men willing to give up their life to kill the gorilla? Or 100 men wanting to kill the gorilla to survive? Big difference I think.
100 men weighs almost 10 tons. All it takes is 100 to charge at once, get the gorilla down, and everyone jump on top of him. You will have a bunch of casualties but a gorilla does not have the strength to overcome 10 tons.
100 men that are trying to kill the gorilla to survive will have a worse outcome. No one is going to take the charge to be the first one to try to jump the gorilla.

In college I had a student checking account with Regions that had about $3 in it. Account was supposed to be free with no minimum, but Regions decided to start charging a $5 quarterly fee which overdrew my account. I put the only $20 in cash that I had at the time in the account, to which they then charged me a $25 overdraft fee which overdrew my account AGAIN. Had to wait a few days before I had yards lined up to cut to put $60 in.
Went in to Region to talk to the manager about it and they refunded me 1 of the 2 $25 overdraft charges. A few months later they went back to free checking.
Shortly after I closed the account and will never step foot in a Regions bank again.

We needed a fall for it to come into play. Our shitty bar scoring hurt. Still not understanding the scoring on most of these routines but oh well

Was that 7 straight fastballs as he was timing it up?
re: Paxton Kling...He is batting .348 with 11 HR and 36 RBI.

He swung at too many sliders off the plate. SEC pitchers figured this out.

re: What’s the deal with Larson? Does he not get another start this season?

He is stuck behind a gauntlet of hitters right now. I would like to see him get some week day playing time to get some game reps for when we need later in the season
re: Dependent Care FSA Tax Question: year it is paid or year it applies to
Posted by Pintail on 4/4/25 at 7:52 pm
Basically this year I maxed out my DCFSA and I’ve already spent $4000 on daycare. If I pay in full for the rest of daycare it’s another $7600 to pay in May 2025 but only $3800 of that is for 2025. I would be able to fund my DCFSA for 2026. I just want to make sure if I pay this year I would be able to use 2026 DCFSA funds to refund myself.
I put it into ChatGPT and pretty sure I have the answer. But thank you!
“Even if you paid in 2025, you cannot use 2025 DCFSA funds to reimburse for care that happens in 2026. It’s based strictly on the date of care, not the payment date.”
ETA : thanks. I’ll check with my plan admin to make sure I can.

Dependent Care FSA Tax Question: year it is paid or year it applies to
Posted by Pintail on 4/4/25 at 4:35 pm
If I pay daycare in full by May 30 this year I get a discount. Otherwise I pay monthly. This would be for August 2025 through May 2026. The following year my son will be going to PreK so I will not have any future daycare funds to use on FSA.
I don't want to miss out on the dependent care FSA money so I'm curious how this would work.
If I pay in full in 2025 can I still use a DCFSA in 2026 to pay for half of the tuition that applies for January to May 2026, or would I only be able to use 2025 DCFSA for those funds?
