Sorry to go OT immediately…
Just got a letter with a ‘correction’ to the 1099-misc we’d previously received with several thousand more dollars on it… but! they didn’t check the correction box, and I already filed.
I am not an expert but have filed my own returns for decades.
They don’t require a copy of the 1099 with your tax return but the IRS will get their own copy. My recommendation would be to file a 1040-X with the new info.
Good luck!

Yup, I think you’re right. 1040x and 201x. Part of the problem is I haven’t gotten my refund yet, so they haven’t even seen my (paper) return yet… Going to figure it all out, send the company that sent me a corrected 1099 (without the box checked!) a nasty letter…

“Lectins are ubiquitous in nature and many foods contain the proteins. Because some lectins can be harmful if poorly cooked or consumed in great quantities, “lectin-free” fad diets have been proposed, most based on the writing of Steven Gundry. A typical lectin-free diet excludes a range of foods, including most grains, pulses and legumes, as well as eggs, seafood and many staple fruits and vegetables. These foods do not contain harmful levels of lectins when properly cooked, and there is no health benefit to following these diets for most people. A strict lectin-free diet is unbalanced and dangerously low in many nutrients, requiring significant dietary supplementation to maintain health”

I keep hearing about the soak to get rid of the starch. I’ve also heard the trick is to soak them in sugar water.
So, I have a recipe for potatoes that involves peeling and boiling them whole, letting them cool, then sautéing them in oil and butter. I wonder if that would translate to fries. The trick would be cutting them thick enough to survive the process without breaking, but the circle version comes out pretty good.

DUDE! Seriously, it’s because they switched frying oil and changed the cut and the recipe. It’s terrible, because their old fries were awesome. I suspect part of the deal is that they cook the fries at a lower temp to avoid generating trans fats, and I also assume they’re using less salt on the fries beforehand, which is making them damper when they hit the fryer. Also, they’re thicker, so they’re taking longer to hit the right temperature.

I was going to FACT CHECK your Donald’s preference for Big Macs, as I believed he only ordered a highly customized and specific quarter pounder. But apparently he does personally settle for other options on occasion.
During my research, I also stumbled upon this:
Donald Trump also likes fast food chains for a surprising reason: their cleanliness. As The New York Times explains, the president “loves fast food because of its consistency and the promise, at least, of a basic level of hygiene.”
Trump once told CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “One bad hamburger, you can destroy McDonald’s. One bad hamburger, you take Wendy’s and all these other places and they’re out of business.” He added, “I’m a very clean person. I like cleanliness, and I think you’re better off going there than maybe someplace that you have no idea where the food’s coming from. It’s a certain standard.”

You have both monocle and eyepiece running I suspect. Eyepiece uses red. I prefer monocle, just because the adding in new comments without refreshing screws up my method of keeping tack of what I have seen.

Eyepiece has an option to turn that off now.
I suspect embedded video content breaks some things – I get that a lot. (But that doesn’t explain what I’m seeing in the previous thread).
Red means youtube blue is any other link, the double posting may be because you have monocle and eyepiece loaded, maybe not, probably depends on the platform, I use chrome and have to disable eyepiece or it fucks up my bold/italic/link thing.

The sheer silence of the “Vegas shooter” case remains incredibly sketchy. I am not prone to conspiracies, but “FBI op gone wrong” seems to fit awfully well.

Back in the day, you walked up hill both ways, and no one bitched and moaned about “privilege.” And if you wanted a dildo, you didn’t just go down to The Pleasure Hut or whatever. Sex stores off the highway? Are you MAD!?!?!! Back in the day, you had to go into the forest, and find a big ol’ hunk of wood. And you took that hunk of wood back to your house, and you hid that hunk of wood from your parents. And when your dad was at work, and your mom was at book club, you snuck into your dad’s woodshop and you carved that piece of wood. you started with the table saw, and rounded off the edges with the belt sander. If needed, you would have to bust out the dremel. And you carved that dildo. And it took time. You damn kids, you don’t know anything about blood sweat and tears. And once you carved that wooden penis, you needed to make sure to SAND THE SHIT OUT OF IT. No one wants a splinter in their woo-ha. Have you ever sat there, for 10 hours, sanding a wooden dildo, in your dads woodshop, that you weren’t supposed to be in, while your dad was at work, and your mom at book club? I DON’T THINK SO. And then after you sanded that wooden penis into a smooth, useable object, you had to lacquer it, and possibly apply a coat of varnish safe for insertion. Nowadays you damn kids and your purple dildos. You just go to Bob’s Crank Shaft and walk out with 14 purple dildos. And you’re talking about the privilege and the boppity and the bloopity and the beep and the boop. When I met my wife, I didn’t just go down to Tom’s Rubber Tackle Shack and walk out with one of them magic vibrato things. No sir! I cut that out and sanded it down, in my woodshop. Damn kids.

My Grandma had one made out of solid steel. Based on the engraving on the bottom, she got it in Ypsilanti, MI in 1945 while working in a tank track factory during WW2. It’s called “The Pope” because it looks like a Priest / Monk on the front, but when you turn it around the robe looks like a dick. You can tell it was painted red at one time, but my Grandma wore off most of the paint. At least that’s the story my Grandpa told me.

Nice detail in having the lettering on the glass door panel backward but shouldn’t it be in Vietnamese?
Sorry to go OT immediately…
Just got a letter with a ‘correction’ to the 1099-misc we’d previously received with several thousand more dollars on it… but! they didn’t check the correction box, and I already filed.
What do?
Can’t you file an amended return?
I am not an expert but have filed my own returns for decades.
They don’t require a copy of the 1099 with your tax return but the IRS will get their own copy. My recommendation would be to file a 1040-X with the new info.
Good luck!
(Filed my taxes today, still in a white-hot rage)
Yup, I think you’re right. 1040x and 201x. Part of the problem is I haven’t gotten my refund yet, so they haven’t even seen my (paper) return yet… Going to figure it all out, send the company that sent me a corrected 1099 (without the box checked!) a nasty letter…

Hot Dogs while often nasty are not by definition so. If you get a quality hot dog with grilled onion and mustard and coney sauce, it can be delicious. You are correct about corn dogs however as they invariably use the wurst quality of hot dogs available.

Yum! WTF is lectin?!
I dunno I just picked the prettiest picture from Google.
“Lectins are ubiquitous in nature and many foods contain the proteins. Because some lectins can be harmful if poorly cooked or consumed in great quantities, “lectin-free” fad diets have been proposed, most based on the writing of Steven Gundry. A typical lectin-free diet excludes a range of foods, including most grains, pulses and legumes, as well as eggs, seafood and many staple fruits and vegetables. These foods do not contain harmful levels of lectins when properly cooked, and there is no health benefit to following these diets for most people. A strict lectin-free diet is unbalanced and dangerously low in many nutrients, requiring significant dietary supplementation to maintain health”
A typical lectin-free diet excludes a range of foods, including … eggs, seafood …
Nope, hard pass.
I like turkey hot dogs.
I like white hots – I think they’re beef? – which were popular where I grew up.
But red hots? ?
You are wrong and should feel bad.
Good hot dogs are amazing – e.g., Pearl 1/2 lb natural casing dogs.
If it has a casing and is made from identifiable meat and cured with smoke it isn’t a hot dog. Hot dogs are the skinless, pig or cow anus things Americans boil and hand to kids because they resent them.

Going off beef tallow in favor of vegetable oil, maybe? I dunno, but I heard that’s why.
Naptown suggests “baked”. That does make sense. I make my own sometimes using canola and they’re delicious. Beef tallow not required.
Ok, so I can’t get a baked fry right to save my life. What’s the trick?
When I say mine are delicious, I’m frying them.
Good, so it’s not just me.

Nah, just used a regular pot.
PS. hier is the recipe. I skipped the soaking – still delicious.
I keep hearing about the soak to get rid of the starch. I’ve also heard the trick is to soak them in sugar water.
So, I have a recipe for potatoes that involves peeling and boiling them whole, letting them cool, then sautéing them in oil and butter. I wonder if that would translate to fries. The trick would be cutting them thick enough to survive the process without breaking, but the circle version comes out pretty good.
I par-boil (or nuke) my (diced) fried potatoes. Not to “get rid of the starch”, but to get ’em soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside.
I have a recipe for potatoes that involves peeling and boiling them whole, letting them cool, then sautéing them in oil and butter. I wonder if that would translate to fries.
I believe you just invented home fries.
Blanching potatoes makes them crispier. I do it for hashbrowns, too.
A steak fry coated in oil cooked for 15 minutes, flipped and cooked about 15 more can turn out ok in the oven.
Try heavily seasoning them with salt and pepper, then oven roasting them in half olive and half corn oil at 400°F. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
Yeah, there’s a reason Ore-Idas are covered in oil. You’re basically frying them in the oven.

They changed them as a tie-in with Toy Story (or that was their gimmick anyway)
DUDE! Seriously, it’s because they switched frying oil and changed the cut and the recipe. It’s terrible, because their old fries were awesome. I suspect part of the deal is that they cook the fries at a lower temp to avoid generating trans fats, and I also assume they’re using less salt on the fries beforehand, which is making them damper when they hit the fryer. Also, they’re thicker, so they’re taking longer to hit the right temperature.
I mostly don’t like fries – if I’m served them, they’re usually untouched. Steak fries are pretty good, but nothing I’d go out of my way for.

You can get In N Out….if you live on the West Coast.
I think every region has something comparable. Like Five Guys in the NE.
I’m not a huge fan of Five Guys. Burgers are OK but overpriced and their fries are worse than In N Outs.
I do miss Whataburger from the Gulf Coast.
Five Guys isn’t at the same price point as McDonalds.
Five Guys: Hamburger (burger only) $6.99
McDonald’s: Big Mac – Meal $5.99
Five Guys is just an example, there are others – take your pick.
And yes of course, they’re more expensive. You get what you pay for.
McD’s and the like are barely more expensive than they were three decades ago. There’s a reason for that.
I was just pointing out, those few dollars can mean a lot those of us that ain’t got much. For me, McDonald’s/BK/Arby’s/DQ is a treat. The next tear up like 5 Guys is an
extravagance. Anything above that is fancy dining.
Where I am a Big Mac meal is almost 10 bucks. Five Guys, around 12.
There’s a place across the crick called Fat Burger. OH MAH GAWD!!!
Fat Burger is Da Bomb! I met Ton Loc at the one in Vegas.
Huh, did not remember the transphobic verse, surely this is subversive material now.
I remember, moving from the ‘fat midwest’ during the early 2000s backlash against fast food (crystalized in that dumb ass documentary Super-Size me) that Super-Size here was just large, I moved to Vegas and it actually was another size! And getting that way was about $10. I was flabbergasted, how the hell can people eat this much?! But yet that phenomenon that didn’t exist here was blamed for us being fat. More Fake News!…I forgot my point, oh yeah, MOVE!
I have to order the “Little” burger at Five Guys because the regular is two patties – which is one patty more than I can eat.
The Gilbert Burger was a thing here at Wisconsin Burger Kings.
That picture is not the Gilbert Burger, this is the pic in the article is one of those Man VS Food type things a bar in Green Bay Sells.

How do we see who is in. I want to know who I’m gonna crush.
You’re gonna be crushing Vicodin into your bourbon after I embarrass you.
Dude. I’m not sure if I’ve ever watched a whole basketball game in my life. If you don’t crush me you should really rethink your love of such a silly game.
Then it’s an even playing field. But I will still crush you.
Well, that makes sense when your only two black guys are Prince and Kirby Puckett, and only one of them played basketball.
I for one don’t need an excuse to enjoy a good vicodin-infused bourbon.
isn’t that known as “cocktail hour”?
I couldn’t get through the day as it is without the Prozac and Jack Daniels I keep on the shelf… A 10 oz. Jack ‘n Zac helps me get through the meetings without one of my students winding up with his severed head in a bowling-ball bag
lolclassic
He’s still at my alma mater; I’ve met people who know him and he is as pleasantly bizarre as you’d hope.
I assume that’s a shell?
Yep, basically a Lisp shell.
Interesting. I like Lispy languages. I wonder if it’s still around.
Yes, but no commits in a few years
I’ve been using fishshell for awhile – it’s tits.
I’ve been happy enough w/ zsh for years; any scripts are basic Bourne or, maybe, Bash syntax. If it’s going to be bigger than 30 lines or so, I’m switching to something like Python anyway.
Yeah, I don’t write shell scripts. I just like the usability of fish. Agree about using
PythonRuby for anything significant.I love Ruby – I maintain a large-ish Rails app – but I’m on a lonely Ruby island at work, so I’ve been moving over to Python and, now, Go.
It’s crazy to me how popular Python is now – like, out of nowhere.
It has its… quirks.
OT:
Thank you. That is a phrase that needs a comeback.
80s forever! ??
It’s crazy to me how popular Python is now – like, out of nowhere.
It feels like it hit some sort of inflection point within the last few years. May be the Google influence (they’re big on Python there).
I’ve never quite been happy with significant whitespace but, with a modern text editor, it’s not the end of the world.
Heh that’s one of the major things I like about Python.
And their ad campaign isn’t even as good as Anaconda.
And their ad campaign isn’t even as good as Anaconda.
It was named after a different sort of Python
Anaconda is a package with Python, Jupyter Notebook, and a bunch of data analysis stuff.
https://www.anaconda.com/
Anyway, Python is becoming popular due to data analysis and network security.
I still use bash.
Huh. Maybe I should have gone with a video link instead of the image.
Anyway, Python is becoming popular due to data analysis and network security.
I think you’re reversing cause and effect – there’s nothing about Python that makes it particularly appropriate for those two things; there are a bunch of data analysis and network security tools written in Python because… there are more things written in Python these days.
I’ll wager that many of those will move to Go in the next few years – the performance improvement can be significant and will make a difference for things like data analysis.
I get this guy.
Re-reading that for the Nth time, I think that the Sig reference would 100% get him a visit from the police these days.
Disregard. Found it.
No this is the tournament with the FINAL four not the FROZEN four
Lol.
I didn’t notice until just now; there’s a “logo” in the middle center “Don’t Bet On It” with the NCAA™ logo next to it. Is the NCAA really spending our tax money on some sort of anti-gambling campaign? In (current year)?

For a brief moment I was doxxed. Panicking when I couldn’t find the option to change my name. Finally found it. I can only imagine who is googling me right now.
Ahh who am I kidding admins already have my name. They’ve probably been plotting the last few years to frame me when the whole Glib thing collapses.
*reminds self to check if monthly
protection moneydonation to Glibs has been made*Just send Swiss some raclette and he’ll fix everything. Much cheaper. ?
Whoops, missed February. Double donation coming right up.
You all are making me happier about using a handle that a toddler could link to me.
Not bragging but I’m probably the only person in the world with my first and last name. So if it leaks it’s gonna be easy to find me.
Same. My e-mail is @.com, which is not at hard to link to me.
There are six of me. And it’s just proper Englishman names.
*sigh*
That was <myfirstname>@<mylastname>.com
There are supposedly 33 of me in the US, which I doubt (I suspect it is doing something statistical rather than actual count), but since I have also told y’all where I live, and I know I am the only one by that name here…
(cont’d) Admittedly, my last name is a little uncommon. I was watching Euroball the other day and for the first time in my life there was someone who shared my last name, a player in the English league.
I Google my name and the one person that doesn’t come up is…me. I am very okay with that.
Maestro Bob Cobb is in!
You can now have your own USA Hat!

Former NFL playwr Tamba Hali posting strange tweets. Not making light of the situation it doesn’t look good.

So…the house across the street shines very bright lights at his place at night? Am I understanding that correctly? And he called the cops 2 days ago but no update since?
Looks like he’s lost his mind. He was tweeting about CTE a few days back.
not bitching, just curious:
a/ how do the hyperlinks here decide whether to be red or blue font?
2) does everyone else have two rows of alt-text commands above a posting window of which only the top row works correctly?
iii> Does anyone else see timestamps? I get this: on Invalid Date [+]
I’m enjoying the new interface.
I’m getting weird formatting issues with this and the previous thread. But no, I see normal timestamps.
You have both monocle and eyepiece running I suspect. Eyepiece uses red. I prefer monocle, just because the adding in new comments without refreshing screws up my method of keeping tack of what I have seen.
Eyepiece has an option to turn that off now.
I suspect embedded video content breaks some things – I get that a lot. (But that doesn’t explain what I’m seeing in the previous thread).
Red means youtube blue is any other link, the double posting may be because you have monocle and eyepiece loaded, maybe not, probably depends on the platform, I use chrome and have to disable eyepiece or it fucks up my bold/italic/link thing.
Dude, you should hear my newest UPS story.
Well, OK, not to exciting, same as the last story but even a tish worse. Even with a new driver. Fucking. Hate. UPS.
Always wonderful stuff, CPRM. In other news, Dankula is at it again. You’d think there is no way the authoritays would go after him for this, but it is the UK.

A Conversation about Stand Your Ground.
That seems to be often how these ‘conversations’ go. BUT MAH EMOTIONS!
I wonder how many cases of stand your ground cases there are in Arkansas period, let alone that were white on black shootings. I mean, they tried to paint the Trayvon Martin case as being about stand your ground when it had nothing to do with it.
As ever, “don’t read the comments” applies.
Bravo! Well worth the wait, easily in my top three.
*tosses garlands*
*Takes a bow* Jots down Trigger Hippie is fine with me taking forever to make an episode. Takes longer next time.
By the way, what would be your top three? Interested in getting feedback on which things the audience likes.
Has anybody mentioned that the new Zealand Zealand want right wing after all? link
Oh my god. The New Zealand shooter wasn’t right wing
Colorado legalizes weed and look what happens to DenverJ.
LOL
Yeah, because I didn’t smoke pot before it was legal.

He was a 4chan shitposter. Nobody knows WTF his politics are.
Que digas?
try link again
Yeah, I quoted the ‘Manifesto’ on the first day in the AM links, According to it the country he says closest matches his ideal government is China.
Nothing says “right wing” like someone who describes themselves as an “eco-fascist”.
prog: ohmeyghaod, he said he’s a fascist, so he must be right wing!
I did respect that he seemed to be using ‘fascist’ in the correct way, and even ‘for the first time when the media calls someone a fascist they’ll be right’ (paraphrasing) but as I believe Rhy pointed out, the whole thing just seems like a copypasta of internet memes, either by a crazy man or as subterfuge.
Agreed. “Crazy person is crazy” is about the best anyone will get from his “manifesto”.
Otherwise it’ll be everything to everybody – people will read what they want to from it.
I’m surprised the
FBIVegas shooter didn’t have a manifesto.The sheer silence of the “Vegas shooter” case remains incredibly sketchy. I am not prone to conspiracies, but “FBI op gone wrong” seems to fit awfully well.
I suppose “low-profile crazy person does something crazy” is possible, but it’d be wildly atypical – crazy murderers always (?) telegraph their crazy homicidal tendencies long before they make the news, at least in retrospect.
It’s not so much the lack of anything, but also how the media went dark on it so fast. That’s what inspired my involvement in the Harvey/Ted Nugent story (beyond the fun, and yes at some point I’ll finish that)
Wait what? Vegas was FBI?
I mean, the media has been pushing the Trump/Russia thing for four years now, but they have the perfect attack to go after guns and the story is memory holed after a month?
Denver, I’m being entertaining, nothing I say has a basis in reality, it just seems that IF a grand conspiracy has happened in my lifetime, the Vegas shooting seems a good candidate.
Wait what? Vegas was FBI?
Well, no – there’s no evidence of that, AFAIK.
I heard that thrown around early on, half-jokingly, since the FBI has ended up being involved in a number of public “terrorism” cases.
The near total silence about the case pings my “cover up” radar, but I’m not aware of any real evidence to support that.
Speaking of Tha Hat’s reference to Raphael, apparently this is a thing now. Makes me long for the days of Batman Vs Predator.
I missed Batman v Predator. Was it a comic or cartoon?
It was a fan film, if I’m remembering correctly.
::checks YT::
Yep
That’s impressive for a fan film.
It is. Over 10 years old, and seems to have aged pretty well.

No one won powerball tonight. I guess I will buy a ticket for Saturday.
Amnit! That’s right, I knew there was something I forgot! I just know I woulda had the winning ticket!
Haha on the vegas thing. But it did make me do a google. Wow there’s some strange allegations out there.
I don’t need no ticket to win the powerball.
Wow I didn’t know Saturday Night Live was so Transphobic.
They accidentally did something kind of funny.
Back in the day, you walked up hill both ways, and no one bitched and moaned about “privilege.” And if you wanted a dildo, you didn’t just go down to The Pleasure Hut or whatever. Sex stores off the highway? Are you MAD!?!?!! Back in the day, you had to go into the forest, and find a big ol’ hunk of wood. And you took that hunk of wood back to your house, and you hid that hunk of wood from your parents. And when your dad was at work, and your mom was at book club, you snuck into your dad’s woodshop and you carved that piece of wood. you started with the table saw, and rounded off the edges with the belt sander. If needed, you would have to bust out the dremel. And you carved that dildo. And it took time. You damn kids, you don’t know anything about blood sweat and tears. And once you carved that wooden penis, you needed to make sure to SAND THE SHIT OUT OF IT. No one wants a splinter in their woo-ha. Have you ever sat there, for 10 hours, sanding a wooden dildo, in your dads woodshop, that you weren’t supposed to be in, while your dad was at work, and your mom at book club? I DON’T THINK SO. And then after you sanded that wooden penis into a smooth, useable object, you had to lacquer it, and possibly apply a coat of varnish safe for insertion. Nowadays you damn kids and your purple dildos. You just go to Bob’s Crank Shaft and walk out with 14 purple dildos. And you’re talking about the privilege and the boppity and the bloopity and the beep and the boop. When I met my wife, I didn’t just go down to Tom’s Rubber Tackle Shack and walk out with one of them magic vibrato things. No sir! I cut that out and sanded it down, in my woodshop. Damn kids.
Did you remember to take your pills today? The Doctors aren’t trying to hurt you, they’re trying to help you.
Someone do a wellness check on Q, before something “happens”?
A ‘Hey der guy, good work’ would have been much more appreciated.
Excellent. Very good.
Hey, I’m just impressed with the idea of a woman who’s good with tools!

::Q whispers in Sir Digby’s ears::
Ooohhhh…………
My Grandma had one made out of solid steel. Based on the engraving on the bottom, she got it in Ypsilanti, MI in 1945 while working in a tank track factory during WW2. It’s called “The Pope” because it looks like a Priest / Monk on the front, but when you turn it around the robe looks like a dick. You can tell it was painted red at one time, but my Grandma wore off most of the paint. At least that’s the story my Grandpa told me.
OK, I saw that, and still read that story…
I think I’m gonna get some counseling soon.
“They don’t make em like they use to.”
It’s a novelty that my Grandpa used to bring out that had a funny story with a good punchline when you turned it around. Then he would dryly mention the paint getting worn off. My Grandparents had an entire cabinet of dirty gag gifts, some going back to the 30’s. They were a hit among my friends.
Makes me want to tell my “She don’t sang to me no more!” joke story, but it involves knowing DFW radio history, and you kinda had to be there*.
*no sex toys were involved
Between your Grandpa and your friends, you had a trippy past.
So no Contrabulous Faptraption involved?
Yeah, my Grandpa was a trip and the funniest person I”ve ever known. My Grandma was no slouch either when it came to jokes.
Well, I was driving at the time. And, I know the avatar looks like it could be depicting something that is…vehicular in style, but, that pic is rather deceptive (ahem).
I don’t think either of my grandfathers were/would have been humorous. One was an abusive asshole, if Mom is to be believed (and, she is), but was gone before I arrived. The other wasn’t so much stern or un-humorous–just, probably more a grandkids-are-fine-at-arm’s-reach type.
So, funny grandparent stories are a treat. Well, depending on the visuals, you know.
