I believe you typically get the money withheld, and if when you file are determined not to have any tax liability, you get a refund between what you paid and what you owe. That’s just like anyone else, but that second number happens to be zero. I swear there’s an option in a W4 that you had/expect to have your tax liability be zero as well, but of course if you turn out to be wrong you’re in for a world of hurt
It’s a true story, too! One friend was out of town during the sale. I left them in her garage, texted her to let her know I brought them back, and interrupted my own text to take advantage of the opportunity 😀
The idea is that if you attempt the riskier patients, you’re more likely to fail. That’s not the reason for our infant mortality rates being what they are, though. I remember seeing stories about the hospital in Gaza City shutting down, and there were similarly-sized babies in the NICU there too. I believe they were thankfully able to be evacuated into Egypt, but the point is we are not the only country birthing and subsequently caring for babies this size.
1$ and 34¢
Writing it this way instead of $1.34 gives me the heebie-jeebies for some reason
Father to a baby born at 1 pound, 4 ounces (580 grams for those who don’t know freedom units). Wife had preeclampsia and baby had to come out at 26 weeks (a little over 3 months early).
Obviously this is not common, but it’s far from the first time my hospital has dealt with that kind of thing. Our daughter has had her share of complications and specialists we’ve had to see. There are still some developmental delays, but nothing we’re expecting long-term. It’s been a HELL of a ride, no doubt, but she’s coming close to her second birthday and overall doing great!
Feel free to ask me anything you’d like about the experience. Although one NICU doctor said it best that every parent in this situation has the same 3 questions:
Will they survive? (in our case, yes)
Will they be normal? (As normal as an offspring raised in our house can be… Eventually)
When can they come home? (Ours did about a month after due date, 4 months and 4 days after birth)
Did you perhaps just read the small paragraph that gets added to the post on lemmy?
To be honest, yeah. I’m used to that having full articles to save me from the ad infestations of so many news sites out there that I didn’t bother clicking into it. Plus it was a bit early for me when I was giving my daughter an overnight bottle so I was in a state of foggy annoyance.
They used a lot of words to say that it’s recently rained in Barcelona and the tourist season is beginning. Then they said tourists use more water than residents, with absolutely no indication of how that may be the case.
Then the article just… Stopped.
Cargo shorts were in style at the time, so there’s that
I also got Z-wave shades from Bali when Home Depot had a 50% off custom window treatments sale. They’ve been wonderful, and integrate with Home Assistant very nicely overall. Battery lasts a long time (about 6 months of use, with a daily “round trip” and they’re still at about 60%) and status gets reported back. One piece on one shade got machined weirdly so I couldn’t use the Z-wave, and they were happy to send a replacement.
Bali is manufactured by a company called Springs Window Fashions. Might be worth looking into them and their other brands too!
Oh, and Home Depot has sample material books you can take home for a night to see what would work best for you.
I have a ton of east-facing windows on the back of my house. It’s a blessing or a curse depending on weather and time of day. I always dreamed about them running automatically, and eventually ordered a bunch of Z-wave controlled motorized shades. Then a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant to control it all.
While I was waiting for those shades to arrive, I got a bunch of Kasa light switches so I didn’t have to sweep across the entire house to turn off all the lights every night. Turning the hallway light off after 9:45PM triggers the automation.
The rabbit hole only got bigger from there.
Fl. Oz are actually nothing to do with weight. They are volume.
Well yes, but also no. It is a unit of volume, but it comes from the volume that an ounce of fluid (specifically water) uses. Not at all unlike a gram being based on a cubic centimeter of water, which we also call a milliliter. Imperial just makes that a little more transparent, which also makes things a little more confusing.
It’s a git gat bar!
after an unopposed bid
I mean, if literally nobody else made a proposal for this, what are the UN’s options? Just put it in some unprepared location? Cancel it? Do some lame virtual thingy? Sometimes you’re just dealt a shitty hand and there’s no good way to play it
It’snotmuch
The ground pin in a north American outlet, at least, isn’t actually grounded
When I had my circuit breaker replaced and went to 200A service a few years ago, we had to have 2 ground rods put in (maybe we reused the old one, I can’t remember) plus a wire following our copper water supply lines until just past the meter. Inspector actually made them redo that last one because it stopped just shy of the meter. Maybe there are other ways of going it, but actual honest-to-goodness grounding is also a thing here.
I use Kasa switches all over my house and am waiting for them to release their fan controller (it was announced at CES last year, and a thread on the old place says it’ll be out at the end of the month)
I’m excited for my fan to shut off if it’s too cold in the bedroom. Already have a temperature/humidity sensor in there.
Unless you’re in Denver, in which case you’ll need a 2,000’ ladder to get out

MBS is a piece of shit, but he also knows he can’t isolate your average person from the rest of the world, and that people will want some of the things we have. Your average person can see that the rest of the world has movie theaters, and they want that. They can see that the rest of the world has women driving, and they’ll want that too. Alcohol? At least this gives the optics, even if it’s still inaccessible to most.
Even a piece of shit knows when they have to loosen the leash a little, especially when it doesn’t really affect the piece of shit. If they don’t, it’s a matter of time before it comes back to haunt them.
It’s funny because Rhode Island is so smol that you need 3 of them to make a mile!
