Maybe so! The one at mine worked like this:

1. You elect in advance how much you want to fund your FSA in the next upcoming period (year)

2. On day 1 of that period the FSA is available to you to spend on eligible expenses. Within 2 weeks I spent the full years elected amount (one surgery).

3. For the duration of the period they deduct (pre-tax) the total FSA election / pay periods (ie. $2000/24 in my case). And that would repeat through the full period (year).

So in my case, leaving after paycheck 1 of that period, but spending 100% of the elected funds means I paid: 1x(2000/24)= $83. But I spent $2000. Upon leaving that meant they did not collect $1917.

This is an actual FSA ‘loophole’. Easily searchable.

When you start an FSA the funds are front loaded. You can immediately spend everything. But you pay it back over the course of the year. So if you leave and all the funds are spent - you don’t owe them a repayment and they can’t exactly keep deducting from your paycheck.

Weird FSA trick tho; if you borrow from an FSA, spend it in full in, say… the first month of the year, quit your job. You never have to pay it back.

Happened to me by accident. I started a plan to pay for LASIK. Got it. Had no way of knowing back then I’d be made another job offer. Took it and expected to get dinged with the entire amount. Nope. FSA plan eats the loss.

So all you gotta do is plan very specifically months ahead and triple down by orchestrating a job change all to save $2k :) easy.

Why does Celsius look like Pete Davidson?

Actually not true. I just set up a device for a friend the other day and absolutely skipped adding any payment info and was able to download apps. Why are you spreading so much misinformation?

I’m not one of these Apple salespeople, but I was a latecomer to iPhone. Started with the 12. It was the first device I owned as far back as I remember that didn’t feel like it was lagging/dying at the end of year one. And consequently I didn’t replace it as I had with years of Pixels, Nexus, Samsungs, etc prior. I think their hardware design is better. And I think the hardware + software tightness results in extending the life of the hardware. And I say this still wishing I could get the new Pixel devices - but I simply haven’t felt that feeling of my phone becoming irrelevant as much as I did with my various android devices.

Same story repeated with tablets -> iPads seem to last forever / until the wheels fall off. I’ve owned Galaxy Tabs, Nexus 12s, etc -> they do not have the same longevity period. It’s sad honestly I wish that weren’t true.

I have a MacBook Pro 2013 that still runs like new (one battery replacement along the way). I can’t even imagine what a 10 year old Dell or Lenovo or HP would be right now. A paperweight?

They sometimes run crazy specials. Couple dollars for 6 months or whatever. I’ve juggled promos. But I have NY Times and it’s now invite that. Either way I appreciate their output and the quality of the writing.

Imagine the horror of paying someone to cover the thing that’s interesting to you. A true crime has been committed here.

I love Apple TVs coverage of MLS and I’m an iPhone user, but I absolutely hate that they are not providing a reasonable product on Android and Windows (I’ve tried the browser based version and it was an awful experience).

Bookmarked. Apple and google connections are so frustrating.

Unbelievable and somehow totally expected.

I once refused to buy an iPhone because of Apple’s closed ecosystem and legal battles with competitors. And, well…

I think about this all the time for autocorrect. The world’s most advanced AIs, built on text prediction models. My phone can’t tell the difference between bit and but in a sentence. Or ducking.

It will be higher for AI than other industries specifically because of the hype cycle.

As long as they replace one of the more useless ownership groups that refuse to invest in their teams (meaning holistically). It’s not like salary rules are without limitations.

“Had they been brave” for Sears means axing or disincentivizing their entire income stream of a nationwide chain of mega stores in malls, etc. It’s not that what you’re saying is wrong, it’s just that these scenarios don’t happen for a reason. They would have decimated their reliable revenue streams when the time was “right” and by the time it was too late, well… no money to invest as you’re closing stores and in the red.

“Prescription Data” reads to me like: get this filled right away: 3ccs of a Wi-Fi 6 base station, and we’re going to start you on a course of 5g mmWave with monthly refills.

They lost some sales right now because they chose chaos and pissed off everyone. Also they are AB InBev and let’s be real they’re gonna be fine.

Sit down…
