All state and local taxes (SALT) limited to $10K deduction so income tax, sales tax, and property tax. Trust me, it's not hard to exceed $10K in property taxes alone. Also property tax is typically local, not state, and in many areas is the primary means of funding public schools. Real

Yeah, our taxes don't reach that threshold. Mainly because we bought our house over 2 decades ago, and Prop. 13 keeps the valuation from rising too fast. bp On 3/31/2019 6:22 PM, Seth Mattinen wrote: On 3/31/19 5:03 PM, justsumname wrote: The IRS website shows what changed.   Tax rates did

wrong - the deduction for taxes - state, property, sales, etc. was capped at $10K. If itemized deductions were capped at $10K there would be a lot of unhappy campers out there! > On Mar 31, 2019, at 8:03 PM, justsumname wrote: > > The IRS website shows what changed. Tax rates did in fact

I guess my memory of the last time I went there is a bit fuzzy. Interestingly, the place in Sunnyvale that used to be Sambo's is still a restaurant called Hobee's. Same basic architecture, so I still think of it as Sambo's I guess. bp On 3/31/2019 5:28 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: Hmmm, I went

It would be simple enough to determine if the device has a floating ground or not. Simply start with a power supply that has a floating output and connect it to the power input. Then measure the potential between ground and each leg. I have done this in the past

If the power supply has a floating output, it should not matter whether the device grounds one side or the other. You just need to get the polarity correct. If there are other devices on the same power, it will make all the difference in the world if even one of
