Second Tuesdays Update 12-14-2021

And then there was snow. I am never fully ready for the snow.

At some point I am going to be making a post about my mechanical keyboard that i got. It's not the best but I like it and trying to use the click click as a reward to myself. The squeak might drive me batty tho...

You know, assuming that I actually type anything with it. My family loves the feel of it but my mom & sister don't really like the sound. My dad didn't think the squeak was that bad. 

My sister doesn't like the round key caps but she loves the colors.

Actually, the sound/feel reward for typing seems to work because this is the most i have typed in a long time in one sitting. I made a few other posts to social media and wow. Yeah this works for me.

Mechanical keyboard rabbit hole post will happen but... on to other things.

I was able to fill some gaps in the front deck/porch but not all of them. I really have to replace the steps and that will have to wait for next year. Most notably the draft has gone way down. there are still a few spots that I need to fill but it's an improvement. Baby steps.

The urge to paint some of the walls in my house is growing. but since I can't open any of the windows and I am not opening my doors to get a draft gonging, it's just going to have to wait until next year. The unfortunate bit is that the pink actually goes with the furniture bit I added and is starting to look good. but I can't stand it. That room is going to be a few shades of grey.

So! On to next month!

When All Else Fails Work for the IRS

 When All Else Fails Work for the IRS

 I wish this was a joke but sadly, this isn't.

I am sure that there are some people that have not heard about NFT's which had been un-regulated to a small point. Well! the easy money laundering is over because they are regulated and that means you have to pay taxes on them now!

So what does this have to do with working for the IRS? Simple! 

The short version is Head Hunting.

Or you could just apply to work for the IRS directly. Either way the thing is money money Money!

The IRS used to give a head hunting or a finders fee for legitimate reports of people not paying taxes. Both in house to employees and to non-employees. This was a super fast way for people to make money but it was also super hard to prove.

Until the digital age.

Some people were using the NFT's as being the next best thing because they are un-trackable and blah blah blah. Basically all the "good"reasons was just money laundering & scams. And the energy usage is destroying the earth.

But now they have to pay taxes on them. That means they HAVE to be track-able.

well.... since you know people have been talking these up and flaunting how much they have spent or 'invested' in NFT's? There is your easy head hunting. Right there. They literally did all the work for you.

Plus the IRS is always looking for people. One would assume that the legitimate and non-money laundering people will promptly look for someone to hire for helping them file their taxes.

Personally I am betting on some people belatedly claiming identity theft so you just know the credit card companies and banks are going to be a nightmare.

Speaking of banks. Banks have to tell the government about suspicions transaction or big transaction or yada yada. The old 'trick' of only sending someone $9,999 to avoid taxes is total bull. Banks do this for a living and they do not fear people trying to do a sneaky thing. They just let which ever bit og the government know to cover their own butts.

This is going to pan out poorly for the people who spent money on them.

Future Friday Predictions & Planning 11-26-2021

 Future Friday Predictions & Planning  11-26-2021

 Ah... Black Friday! I have shopped once and only once at a mall on black Friday. I will never do it again but I was also lucky that it was a good first/last experience.

Now, for things that I really start thinking about with the changing season. Namely with the drop in temperature and the fact that I will have to eventually pay to have the skirting around my houses foundation spray foamed to stop the insane amount of drafts.

Technically there is snow at my house, or so I will assume.

not much else to think about because it's the end of fall and I really don't have ideas on what to expect.
