I heard a coworker bragging about she turned down a raise and a bonus to avoid the next tax bracket. She complains endlessly about how she does not get paid enough.

"My thought process goes like this: although I could earn a bit more from a private sale, I don't want the burden of dealing with the bank and a private seller, nor do I really want to spare the time doing this outside of work, so it's a small price to pay for the ease." So this guy is why all of those fast food delivery services exist.

I still kinda regret selling my car to CarMax instead of private. I was working out of town and didn't feel like I could coordinate the whole deal and probably lost a grand or two, and I could have done it. Yet somehow I was able to sell it them for a loss and got a personal loan for the difference with my credit union. I hope that's bad enough with money to avoid a probe!

Doing a trade in lets you reduce the taxable sales price on your new vehicle by the value of the trade in, so that is also something to consider.

Private sells are terrible. I give poo poo away to avoid Craigslist. Was the guy who sold a car that broke down and then found his car covered in super-glued pennies from this thread? Yeah, I'll just take the trade-in value thanks.

You can still collect that benefit if you sell your old car privately. In my state and probably others, if you bring documents for another vehicle sold within 180 days when you register your new car, they’ll deduct the value from your sales tax. If your old car hasn’t sold by the time your new car needs registered, you can file for a partial tax refund, but theres more paperwork, so I always try to sell my old car before my new temporary tags expire.

Krispy Wafer posted:Private sells are terrible. I give poo poo away to avoid Craigslist. Ha, yeah this was a guy I know, but avoiding with Craigslist definitely seems wise. He wasn't even selling the car, he sold a large batch of stuff on Craigslist to a single guy (cough cough marijuana growing equipment), and 1 cheap item out of 25+ things didn't work. Offered the guy a full refund for that one item but the weirdo demanded his money back for everything, which my friend declined, and then he got glued. The super glued bobby pins in the ignition was the real "gently caress you" though, he couldn't even start the car. Since then he bought a fresh ignition switch for $12 or something and installed it himself (GWM?), but he still has to hold up the old key next to the ignition while he starts it with the brand new key, to avoid the security alarm going off forever (or until he quits being a cheap bastard and goes to the dealership to get it reprogrammed properly, which I am pretty sure will never happen). I would have to find a "Bad with Life" thread to post more details about his recent trials and tribulations, it is far beyond money. tl;dr he wanted to go into a detox facility for a few weeks but his entire livelyhood would be dead by then, so he found a homeless meth head to take care of his crop, which ultimately lead to him calling 9/11 after he got out and they had some incident. For some reason "oops nevermind I'm OK now!" to the 9/11 operator wasn't enough to keep the cops from kicking his door in. On the plus side, he learned the hard way that the maximum fine for growing massively illegal amounts of weed in one of the most liberal towns in Colorado is only ~$2500, and probably will be $0 with a little community service and some other odds and ends. The probation officer actually suggested he microdose psychedellics to help with depression.

Craigslist is tolerable if you only use a Google Voice number so you can filter communication, and never ever meet on home turf. I always meet at the well-lit gas station that gives cops free snacks. I’ll take craigslist over facebook swap groups any day.

Micro dosing for depression and other mental illnesses goes way back. The dude who synthesized LSD was researching psychedelics for those uses. Of course the research stopped cold when they got classified as schedule 1 narcotics.

If you really want to they pissed read up on what makes a drug schedule 1 vs 2 etc. Then read about what that means for researchers. It’s also why cocaine (a drug with recognized medical uses) is less bad in the eyes of the law than crack (a drug with no recognized medical use)

totalnewbie posted:https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm632761.htm I’m wondering how well insufflation will work, the best results from traditional ketamine are by monitored IV infusion, but maybe along with reducing the hallucinogenic effects it was designed to pass through the mucus membrane more efficiently. The insufflation also had the issue of being the full dose at once rather than being suspended over a half hour to 45 minutes so the come up and come down could be really rough. With the slower administration they could monitor pulse and blood oxygen, which is good because breathing depression could occur. They could also push zofran in the event of nausea. IV ketamine, while obscenely expensive, saved my wife’s life.

With the slower administration they could monitor pulse and blood oxygen, which is good because breathing depression could occur. They could also push zofran in the event of nausea. I'm curious as well. Looking at Medscape it looks like adverse reactions are mainly on consciousness, nausea/vomiting, and elevated BP. Of course they're not apples and oranges, but the nasal spray dose looks lower than the IV dose (56mg-84mg as low as 14mg per spray vs up to 1mg/kg for IV) and esketamine may have slightly less effect on respiration as well, so that could account for it. Insurance plans are 100% stupid, so we had a lot of IV chemo patients at the cancer center who had to get oral zofran from the pharmacy to take before their chemo infusions at the hospital; I wouldn't be surprised if esketamine patients pre-med with zofran and/or get their sprays over a longer period at least for the first visit or two.

Dr. Chaco posted:Ketamine costs me $6 per 10ml vial (I use it to heavily sedate or anesthetize dogs and cats). Why on earth would it be that expensive? Because it's a ~4hr infusion in a doctor's office/infusion center with attendant monitoring and not covered by any insurance because it's not FDA-approved for depression treatment. There aren't that many places that will administer it.
