    What do you do?

    $5k pre-tax for dependent care account or $3k for claiming expenses on tax return for the credit. I'm sure you know the latter is affected by AGI, so you probably get close to nothing.

    What do you do?

    I think you have to itemize your tax return to deduct medical expenses. Most people that own a home are likely already itemizing for the mortgage-related deductions. Dependent care account allows you to put aside tax-free money above the limit allowed to be claimed on your tax return. FSAs...

    What do you do?

    I found when comparing our high-monthly, low-deduction health plan to the HSA plan, you would have to use up the HSA max contribution($6750 for 2016) each year for the HSA to be as expensive. Our post-adjusted medical expenses didn't come even close to that, so we chose the HSA plan. I plan to...

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    It definitely wasn't a good movie. Usually my bar for "bad movie" is how many times a character or the plot itself does something that makes no sense. Basically, my wtf meter being tripped. That magneto scene was one. The dialogue was bad but I especially disliked the policeman getting a...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    Hmmm, that seems oddly specific. Wouldn't you need to drop down into Assembly to bypass compiler optimizations and get that kind of behavior?

    The mental rigors of fucking a_skeleton_03 take that long to process, accept, and rebury in the forgotten parts of her memory. Then a couple minutes to apply some KY.

    How easy are the world bosses? Show up and it's pound town until loot just like the blue world quests? I'm still at ilvl 803, so not sure if I should even bother.

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    It's a fun scene that's completely out of context. For a movie that's otherwise forgettable, it's understandable that people would pick out that scene as good.

    Is it common for game to utilize threading? I don't stare at my task monitor routinely, but it seems quite common just to see a game parked on one core and that's it.

    I don't think Stellaris was intended to have combat similar to EU4.

    Hearthstone

    If you don't open a legendary after 39 packs(in one set), your next one is guaranteed to have one. So, a legendary every 40 packs at the very least. I think it's 10 for epics.

    My wife dropped hormonal birth control about a half year ago and it's been much better since. Fewer headaches and an increased sex drive. Now, of course some of that might be placebo. Also, no one does something like drop birth control in a vacuum. That's a huge change and people's behavior...

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    The social aspect can be fun. And it can be bad when the margins are so tight it brings out the worst in people. I agree with yerm in that it doesn't have to be the pinnacle of gear progression. I think a lot less people would participate in cat herding if the gear reward wasn't there...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Obviously I'm not an authority on the matter, but that seems counterintuitive. More unhappy sex will help indirectly by bringing the issue to head and causing both of you to deal with it in the correct manner. Whether that's talking, therapy, finding what kink truly turns her on, or maybe even...

    Did she say that and you missed it? Seriously though, scheduling more sex while taking the fun out of it seems like two points at odds with each other. Even from just her standpoint. Seems like she isn't communicating something.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I reread your post from yesterday. I would say Python None is a bit different. An empty list or string, which I'm guessing is what you mean by "absent null", and a None will both hit if not x But if you explicitly test for if x is None You'll be able to tell if the data structure is empty...

    Hmmm, didn't know. Not on those carriers, but thanks. I think I'd rather buy whatever moto has to offer in the $400 range if I had to go with Verizon or Sprint...I guess? God, that phone is ugly though. Or maybe just get a Note, assuming the battery fix works out.

    Smartphones

    I'm pretty sure the 1+3 will work on any carrier too. Camera I'm not too concerned about, but if one really sucks, that's a valid point. Software and photo storage...meh. I buy phones for hardware and cost, not attached software. But, thanks for answering. None of that really seems worth $250.

    What does this phone offer over something like a 1+3 besides the 821 SoC?

    Worth picking up? Sure. There are have been a ton of changes in the last year and a half. Every class can essentially complete the season journey with any of their four sets. And some classes have viable LoN sets too. There's is still the 1 best build, but I wouldn't say it's noticeably...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    What's your opinion Python's None? When I was programming in Java, I was still pretty fresh to programming, so null checking wasn't something I had much experience with. Just having trouble drawing analogues to your description. From what perspective? I don't know who's using the function...

    It is definitely cool stuff and I want to work on it badly, just don't have the time. The testing system itself, written mostly in Python, is poorly neglected. This system now where I spend upwards of 50% of my day reviewing test results, never really learning anything, or learning something...
