taxchat: freetaxusa dot com is real good and real free and way the hell less annoying than turbo "lol here's a long animation while we delete last years info because you didn't pay us. gently caress you" tax pelotons are $2k exercise bikes with a subscription on top of that. $2k gets you a really nice bike that can move and doesn't have a monthly fee

Enderzero posted:yep, that's why im staying in chicago. i've just noticed most people have a list of places they could plausibly live and i don't have one at all because everywhere seems worse than chicago. ok so i don't know how many different ways i can put this: places with higher costs of living also tend to have higher wages. if you leave chicago for new york, your employer will be obliged to pay you more in order to secure your services you may wish to stay in chicago for other reasons but come on, guy. no one is gonna ask you to add $1k a month to your rent/mortgage and not offer you more money

it's like every pie-eyed pitch about autonomous vehicles that basically goes "if we could make inertia-less vehicles we could really revolutionize the average commute" and it's true, they're not wrong, it's just that if your product relies on a radical new understanding of fundamental physics, it's probably not something you should be selling today

not exactly, if you have a cheap $25/mo gym membership they probably do a spin class for free at least once a week, mine did bougie white people cult spin classes like soulcycle where they pack you in like sweaty sardines and shout mantras at you, sure that's gonna be $$$$ and that is the market peloton is aimed after, so yeah

peloton is about having that soul cycle bourgeoisie experience but, like many things in our modern world, without having to deal with the social aspects basically its made for affluent computer touchers
