Received little me clothing for kids gift card for Christmas, but I don’t need more baby/ toddler clothes. Looking to offload it at a reasonable amount, per rules as new user looks like that needs to be PayPal or could also do Amazon GCs.

The utility (xcel in colorado) came by this week and installed the new net meters and said I have permission to operate, also leaving a note stating this. The panels are from Tesla, and Tesla has not updated my account stating I have PTO. Is there any reason to not turn it on? Tesla has been a little slow to responding to things and are impossible to get ahold of, so I’m guessing if I wait I will not hear back until at least mid next week.

When I was younger, I was gifted stock that is currently worth ~15K. As it increases in value and pays dividends (that are reinvested), I owe yearly tax on the dividends and will eventually owe tax on the total gains.

Would it be worthwhile to sell the stock, pay taxes on it now with the earnings, and then use it to fund a Roth IRA and let it grow tax free? For reference, income will be in the 22% or possibly edging Into the 25% bracket for 2018, but it isn't clear to me what the effective tax rate I'm paying now vs later is (just 15% for capital gains no matter what?).

Also, it's money I don't plan on touching until retirement, but since I wouldn't be able to fully fund an IRA anyways an

About 6 weeks ago I got my first road bike, a new Giant Contend 1. I weigh 170lbs and I've put a little more than 400 miles on the bike using it both for commuting (on roads with 15 lbs of stuff on my back) and for a handful of rides 15-40 miles. In that time, I've had roughly 15 flats. A few have been a result of me poorly pumping up the tire and pinching, leaving a puncture item in the tire and ruining a new tube, or having a bad patch. 4-5 have been rear flats and the rest were front flats.

My first 250 miles i road the stock Giant SR-4 tires that came on the bike. I had more than 10 flats with these, a bunch of punctures and 4-5 pinch flats. I then took the bike in to the LBS where I

There was some reddit thread where a bunch of people started making up stories about some device they all had. Everyone made up a bunch of words that sound like flux capacitor; I'm pretty sure a few of the people in on it had some fair knowledge in legitimate electrical engineering terms to keep the jig going longer. I think it started with a V and they went on to make a whole subreddit about it with tons of posts just to fool people who weren't in on the joke that this thing didn't exist. Thanks for your help.

I was hoping somebody could help me figure out how to fix (and possibly why) my laptop that no longer recognizes the built in video card. It is a hp 6910p laptop running windows 7. I turned it off before I went out of town for the weekend; I came back and have been living with 800x600 for the past 24 hours. After troubleshooting to see if the video card driver (all drivers are up to date) had messed up, I realized the video card was no long recognized at all by the device. Upon further investigation I found this: http://imgur.com/L45Os telling me something was wrong and http://imgur.com/Eknie telling me that the problem was a code 12.

Can anybody give me an idea of how to fix this please?

I'm wondering how r/trees would feel about a white house petition on changing the classification of Marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, where it logically belongs.

If this is a good idea, I think it should be done right. We need to properly plan a well written petition so that a response shutting it down is difficult to write. I understand at this point we should still expect a big 'no' from the government, but if our petition presents a clear logical argument, the response will look even more foolish than last time.

The advantages of Marijuana being a Schedule III drug are huge. Two major points are the general public seeing the drug as less harmful furthering the chance of full l

Consider this as actually being a possibility for mankind sometime in the future. People would be able to pay to go on a space ship that travels near the speed of light for a few months and comes back to earth (or wherever you want to go) after several hundred years have passed. I'm sure it would be extremely expensive, not to mention all the complications that would arise: mankind has virtually ended, the earth is uninhabitable, or future world leaders choose to destroy all ships going into the future with advanced technology. It would be difficult to choose how far into the future I'd go though, the farther into the future I'd assume there is a better chance of not surviving the experience

I have a HP/ compaq 6910p laptop running Windows 7 with a 160 gb hard drive and 4 gb RAM that has been having some problems generally when booting up. Beginning early in april of this year, my laptop would sometimes freeze very early while windows was loading during boot up at this screen. At the time I simply needed the laptop to last me until classes were over and I moved back home so I would simply hold the power button down to turn off the computer and then reboot hoping the laptop would work this time. Sometimes this process would repeat up to 5-10 times before I would get lucky and I would be able to use the computer. However, my main plan at this point was to
