Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I've found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it's worth looking into.

Similar to Music theory. It's not absolutely necessary to write good music, but understanding it allows you to be more purposeful in your writing and know why certain things work and when to break the "rules" for an effect.

This is you donating to the non-profit. You get the tax break, the company does not. I'm so sick of this misinformation because nobody actually donates on their own, which is why non-profits partner with companies for fundraising.

It's on your receipt, you get the tax break. As simple as that.

"Hey Bob, I see you hired a plumber, what's going on?"

"I heard the sound of a leak in our bathroom wall. Hired a plumber to find it and fix it."

"You're such a dumbass, Bob."

They have been known to live in lakes, and when they do they dig dens under the shoreline.

The reason they don't like the sound of running water is the same reason we don't like to hear the sound of unexplained running water in our homes, it's a sign of a leak. The only difference is for them it's instinctual, and for us we understand the consequences of a leak in our home.

His partner also dumped a clip into the vehicle. The officer that got spooked by the acorn literally did not realize he had not been shot until he go to the hospital...

I don't think a flight has ever had a crowd crush event.

The largest passenger plane is an Airbus A380 with a typical passenger capacity of 575. And that's split between two decks. Most crowd crush events involve twice that amount of people all heading the same direction while the people in front have nowhere to go. And most crowd crush events are a result of building code violations such as emergency exits that open inwards.

Planes don't really allow for crowd crushes to happen. Every person would have to be trying to get to the same emergency exit at the front of the plane, and if you're mid flight why would anybody be trying to get to any exit?

Just stay in your seat and it's highly improbable to be crushed to death.

Since individuals aren't 501(c)3 non-profits it wouldnt be tax deductible and is treated by the IRS as a gift, so a gift tax may apply depending on amount given. Just in case you were curious as to why it's not a tax write-off.
