Alright, who else is in Texas and planning on riding this bad boy out? The 00z GFS run has it making landfall near Corpus as a strong Cat 3 and then just parking by the coast for basically 100 hours. I'm over in the Houston area, projected to get ~20" of rain but some models have gone off the deep end and are saying 40"-60"+

There's lots of cool stuff to see and do in Seattle, but none of it was as life changing as getting the Pork Belly and Cornmeal Waffle for brunch at Skillet.
rock climb, slackline, backpacking/hiking
RaburnfreakinIf I sold an unusual for $1000 (or any amount) wouldn't the IRS expect me to claim that as income?
For any side money of that nature, you'd have to make over $10,000 dollars. So practically, no. Even if you sold a burning TC, I'm pretty sure virtual items don't fall under the parameters of the IRS.
I don't know, all of the literature I can find mentions no such threshold, and is simply a matter of if you had a net positive (made more money than you put in). Of course, minimum filing limits apply but most of us meet that through other means anyways.
In other news, this is a pretty entertaining blurb from the IRS:
IRS.govOnline games create computer-generated settings for multiple users to interact as characters called avatars. These avatars frequently exchange goods and services in both the real and virtual worlds. Cyber-economic activities in the online world may have tax consequences that real world avatar counterparts need to consider.
Geel9ComangliaAzazel-Are my virtual pixel donations tax deductible
Technically yes.
-edit-
Would like to throw in my 2 cents here and say the addition of OW is a good move imo, while PUBG not so much. OW is at least a similar audience as tf2 and you have to play alongside as a teammate to people you don't know at all. PUBG doesn't really have that and I don't think a game which doesn't foster a community aspect to it would be a good choice. Honestly I think BF1 would be a better choice over PUBG despite PUBG being the hot new thing right now.
This is wrong. They aren't tax deductible. If they were, you'd also be expected to report all your items on your taxes.

especially since a majority of the tf2 is on friday when most people are working. I'll be donating as usual but I'll probably only be tuning in for surfing, jumping, keep talking and bridge crew which makes me a little sad.
keep talking and star trek bridge crew should be lit
ow is shit more tf2 pls (and I don't even play tf2 anymore). or at least throw in some quake champions or cs
dota fortress?
AccordWould a large amount of participation allow for a LAN, is it within what ESL Play is willing to do for TF2 if it takes off?
Does the answer to this question even matter?
The TF2 community is amazing and puts in a lot of effort in a lot of different ways to support itself, but significant and sustained participation in some silly online, prizeless cups hosted by a large organization on the premise of them maybe throwing us a bone later is not something I ever see working. It's been tried before, we don't play and keep playing so even if there was any truth to something bigger being possible in the future, it never happens.
I think LAN and comparable/larger prize pool is about the only way a tf2 league could be implemented in NA and not just end up being CEVO (community split) all over again

then I got the job
its kinda meh
Did u realize that it flies on its own because it's in space?
Well not really cause we have to regularly do reboosts and essentially constant attitude changes / solar array configuration changes to balance power generation, drag, longeron shadowing, etc. And there's also the constant conjunction monitoring due to space junk and dynamic events like spacewalks and visiting vehicle approaches/departures.
The work is really cool. It's just not cool enough to make it worth spending 40+ hours a week at a bureaucratic, budget contained organization with an aging workforce to make less than 6 figures while living in southeast Texas.
