Isn't this pretty crazy? The government is saying "hey, you can easily do your taxes for free on our website... But only if you make less than $73k, everyone else needs to either do it the manual way, or pay our buds at H&R Block".

I can tell you, I did my taxes before I made $73k and after I made over that amount and there is no difference in the effort put in to complete my taxes each year. There's no reason there should be an income limit on using this tool from the IRS other than the tax prep lobby.

I hate those stories. Just give the darn recipe

Set the big milestones in between start and goal, then set the little steps in between those. Keep your head down and concentrate on the little steps. You’ll get there in no time.

In Oregon, since we don't pump our own gas, they haven't started playing commercials through the gas pumps.

Never thought about it like that. Thanks! I'll have to look this up. Personally I'm trying to run to get a little more in shape too and I do this exact mistake. I tell myself I HAVE to do it and I have no choice.

At the end of every day write what your going to do tomorrow. At the start of each day actually take one step in the direction of those goals

Most of the corrosion happens while the steel is exposed to the liquid vinegar. Once the vinegar evaporates you’d have a pitted texture with rust. Imagine that’s sample A and we have sample B that’s the same but after that first flash-rust, we rinsed and neutralized sample B. From that point on, I think sample A might corrode faster due to remnant vinegar but I’m not sure, and I imagine that if it did, the corrosion rates of the two samples would equalize after some time.

Edit - to explain further, what makes vinegar increase future corrosion is the rough surface finish it creates at initial exposure. The smoother the surface, the more resistant the surface is to rust. Sandblasting is exactly the same (it removes rust, but also primes the steel for increased future rust).

I mean not really. If you were truly denaturing proteins injected by the mosquito, you'd also destroy your own proteins and cause a shitload of damage to the skin.

I understand that you do not NEED those things to be healthier. But I listed all the things that I personally spend money on to better make my point.

My point being that a healthy lifestyle is not cheap, and that one shouldn't quit alcohol with the idea that you will save money or else you may be discouraged and go back to the drinking.

Make the move for your health not wealth.

Almost all of them use the same button

Damn, a daily 12 pack! I underestimated how much people can drink. That's not just drinking alcohol that's a problem.

True - but sometimes switching addictions is a great thing!

Going from drugs to exercise is not a bad thing to do!

I mean you don't need all that stuff to get healthier lol, going for daily walks and exercise is enough. Just gotta eat cleaner and drink cleaner haha. Now if your trying to get swole af that is not cheaper

Several of these work without vinegar, BTW.

Yes yes yes!! Even if you have dental insurance it covers barely anything. Buy yourself a good electric toothbrush and floss!! Dental work is painful, time consuming and very expensive.

I drank a six pack of IPA 🍺 per week. Cost like $10-12 for the sixer, so $40-48 monthly. But quitting alcohol, and focusing on health, has been hella expensive! Much more than $40-48 per month.

Shit that was about what just the gym membership alone cost me.

I guess I underestimated how much many people may be spending on booze?

The thing is - you don't NEED to spend that much on supplements/protein/creative/clothing and shoes....

just a basic multivitamin, more vegetables and solid calisthenics - perfect for your health.

I lost half my fortune on women and booze. The rest I just wasted.

you say this like he was an alcoholic

This is not your final form. Continue to grow.

Also hydrate, wear sunscreen, and avoid alcohol. It's one of the most dangerous drugs to withdraw from, and I've done it a few times.
