  1. For FBAR I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use the last day of last year's rate NOT any kind of average.
  2. Unless there are medical reasons that you might have poor absorption it sounds like a reasonable assumption that you are getting enough D. Of course too much sun carries other health risks. To add, it's not practical for people to get enough D from diet alone. Without supplements sun is the way.
  3. I watched the first two episodes of Gilded Age and agree its a good show. There is a black lady playing a black character. They correctly show the discrimination such a character would have faced then. There is a closeted gay couple where the actor's sexuality is irrelevant. They correctly showed their need to be closeted in that era. There was nothing box ticking or alternative casting of these characters in that historical setting. The story lines of these characters add to the richness of the series. Educated blacks and closeted gays were not unusual in the New York of that era. While I do understand objections to Henry the 8th being played by a Polynesian trans man I see no fair objection to the inclusion of the above characters in Gilded Age.
  4. Its not so simple as to say get sun. There are various factors. Skin color Location on earth, season, intensity of sun Amount of skin exposed Old age inhibits absorption Obesity inhibits absorption Various chronic medical conditions / inhibit absorption If you're clinically D deficient you should definitely supplement and thats for overall health not only Covid If you don't know then you have a decision to make. If you supplement 4k IU daily or more you should also take Vitamon K. 2K don't bother. D toxicicity is very rare and would only happen at absurdly high levels much much higher than 10k IU daily so don't worry about that. D is not instead of vaccines. Its in addition to vaccines. This isn't really news. The big question that I have is why public health authorities globally haven't embraced this.
  5. Play loud obnoxious music (polkas?) 24/7 and drive him out! Also a pile of rotting durian on your balcony might mask the devilish ciggie smoke.
  6. Heavenly Bites. Delightful. https://decider.com/2022/01/19/heavenly-bites-mexico-netflix-review/
  7. If you think there is even a smallish chance.that you will repatriate pay for Part B.
  8. The ones that got away: Washington Bureaucrats Washington Foreskins Washington Traffic Jams Washington Trillion Dollar Deficits Washington Chocolate Cities Washington East Coast Elites Washington Jurgensons Washington Million Man March Washington Vagina Hats Washington Locusts Washington Red Scares Washington False Flags Washington Bloggers Washington Conspiracies Washington Cute Interns
  9. Well, that's the new name of the Redskins. How does it make you feel? I think it's a good choice if they had to change the name which they decided they did. The only downsides I think are that it comes across as kind of war mongering and also it will be more humiliating and fodder for dissing press coverage when the team is losing badly. For old times sake. This tune won't work with the new name.
  10. I think it will probably stay free. They got it fairly cheap and it will likely be a great platform for them to advertise online subscriptions of their very distinguished online news product. All the letters that fit in five spaces.
  11. You've probably heard the term small movie. Well this is a small tv series and I like it. It's very fresh to meet these characters in the context of small town Kansas. We're not in Kansas anymore? They are!
  12. Yes I knew about the cam. I explicitly asked for NON cam.
  13. Wordle bought by the New York Times! Still free. For now.
  14. Looks great. Want to watch it. Don't know how to (non cam) in Thailand. Described by some as the best movie of 2021. Yes that's Philip Seymour Hoffman’s son Cooper.
  15. This doesn't pass the smell OR the smile test. Send a memo when (if?) they really want tourists back.
  16. Henderson used to be on my own list of somewhat affordable but still with attractions places to consider in the US. Now my list would be more about living in a converted van which might be fun for some but for me would be a version of hell on earth. You can't go home again? Could be true now for low wealth people. Somewhat darkly ironically Mexico which is the top expat retirement destination for budget oriented Americans has recently greatly increased its financial requirements for residence and also harshly cracked down on people living there for years on visa runs. So maybe now we can say for many you can't go home again or Mexico either!
