The land was inherited by my mother around 30 years ago and was transfered to my wife and I in 2014 as a gift.She passed away in 2016. I sold the property for 23,500 in 2019. What is my cost basis? do I owe any capital gains  since it was a gift and is less than 14000 gift exemption for me and 14000 for my wife which would make a 28000 total gift exemption?
I am a little at a loss.  A couple years before my mother-in-law passed away she signed her house over to my wife and her sister via a quitclaim deed.    After she passed we sold the house for $80,000. The money was used to pay off the mortgage, some other funeral expenses, and sent $15,000 to other family members.  All the money was dispersed at the closing of the house.  My wife and her sister each ended up with about $20,000.  How do we go about claiming this income?  Since there was a quitclaim deed I guess we technically owned the house for a few years prior to its sale.  How does that affect our tax and what is the basis?  Is the basis the selling price(fair market value) or something else?  How much does each sister claim for gains?  Sorry it this is a jumble of questions I am just trying to get this straightened out before tax is due.
Air gap on isolation space The below photo belongs to a PSU. I wonder what was the reason of placing air gaps on the 8 mm isolation. Is it to improve the isolation or provide a thermal relief (although there is no component below the red circled air gap)? How do World of Warcraft referrals and the free month work? I sent the referral link to my boss and he bought the game and applied his CD key.  He now has a paid account linked to mine:    Yet when I view my World of Warcraft account, it seems they didn't give me the free month. It appears I only have the free month that came with my Battlechest purchase.  I just created and bought my account this morning. Would this affect the free referral month in any way?    We haven't seen each other or partied online in the game yet, do we need to do that first in order for me to receive the month? grep a file, but show several surrounding lines? Since I updated to Ubuntu 17.10 a while ago, my private keys – the which I use for example to access my server via ssh – are not unlocked programmatically after login anymore.    My understanding is, that usually the seahorse client should take care of this, by asking you whether or not to store the key's password when typing them in for the first time.  My first guess was, that seahorse-daemon wasn't running for some reason, but it is:  user@Zeus:~$ ps aux | grep seahorse user    19170  0.0  0.1 432636 26564 ?        Ss   00:07   0:00 seahorse-daemon   My second guess was, that for some reason I have to delete all related passwords stored in seahorse under »Passwords->login«:    I was hoping to force the client to ask me again and then storing them again. But this didn't help either. The client does not pop up to ask me...  Then I found this question, which could be related, but did not help me:    As the management of other passwords work as expected (for example passwords for nautilus, Chromium, Nextcloud etc.) I assume the problem has to do something with ssh-agent...  Can anybody hint me in the right directions, how to solve this problem? Has anything changed in the way how GNOME handles passwords? Maybe some new fancy program failed being installed during the upgrade process?   UPDATE When I add the private key to the authentication agent again with:  ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa   and try to log in, I will be asked to unlock the key only once, after that the key gets unlocked programmatically. But this works only until the next reboot. After a fresh start, I have to add the key again... Our company has multiple domains set up with one website hosted on each of the domains. At this time, each domain has its own authentication which is done via cookies.   When someone logged on to one domain needs to access anything from the other, the user needs to log in again using different credentials on the other website, located on the other domain.   I was thinking of moving towards single sign on (SSO), so that this hassle can be eliminated. I would appreciate any ideas on how this could be achieved, as I do not have any experience in this regard.  Thanks.  Edit: The websites are mix of internet (external) and intranet (internal-used within the company) sites. I want to make a shell alias that starts a certain program and also changes the title of the terminal to the name of the program.  How can I do that?  In case it matters, I am running the terminal on Ubuntu and connecting to a Debian server via ssh. How do I build a SOQL query for records in a list of IDs? Can some one correct my soql? I need to export records in data loader like:  WHERE Id IN ('123123123','123123fsdf')   But this following query does not work for me:  SELECT Id, Syndication_Documents__c FROM ContentVersion  WHERE Syndication_Documents__c in : 'a4fa0000000KzbV','a4fa0000000KzbW' I play several games on Steam and I love the achievement system. It would be great to get an overview of all the achievements ever gained in Steam games. Does Steam support this? I haven't found such an overview.  If such a feature does not exist, I would already be happy with an easy way to calculate the sum of all my achievements automatically.  Edit: I stumbled upon an interesting website called  today. Unfortunately it only works for XBox-Achievements. Does anyone know of a similar service for Steam? This would solve my question right away. Implementing my own solution based on the links posted in the answers didn't work because the APIs are not sufficient for my needs. When to use "If I was" vs. "If I were"? Can I kill an indestructible creature with -X/-X and sufficient damage marked on it? Can I hit a 4/4 indestructible creature with a  (3 damage) and give it -1/-1 with  to kill it? (Does it matter which way around I cast those?)  I read  here and it says, damage is removed in cleanup step, so it should be on the creature still after both spells.     702.12. Indestructible   702.12a Indestructible is a static ability.   702.12b A permanent with indestructible can’t be destroyed. Such permanents aren’t destroyed by lethal damage, and they ignore the state-based action that checks for lethal damage (see rule 704.5g).   702.12c Multiple instances of indestructible on the same permanent are redundant. How to show an alert when user navigates to another page without filling the form? I have a form created by a custom module. Now I want to show an alert like ("Please fil the complete form before navigating otherwise lost all the data") if the user navigate to another page without filling all required fields.  How can I do so? Let $f$ be an entire function with $|f(z)|\le 100\log|z|,\forall |z|\ge 2,f(i)=2i, \text{ Then} f(1)=?$  I have no idea how to solve this one!  $g(z)={f(z)\over \log|z|}$ Then Can I say $g$ is constant by Liouville Theorem? Is there anything in RAW that supports spell level as a character concept, or alternatively that supports it as solely a player concept?  On the one hand, I see nothing that explicitly states that a character knows that there are spell levels. On the other hand, I don't see how a spellcaster could manage spell slots without knowing about spell levels. Javascript infamous Loop issue? I’m building a battery powered data logger with a microcontroller and several sensors. I’d like to measure the supply current of individual parts with idle currents in the μA range and peak currents in the low mA range. The current is not constant which rules out a simple multimeter.  Usually I’d (temporarily) replace ferrite beads on the PCB with a 10Ω resistor and measure the voltage drop with my DS1104Z oscilloscope. However, the voltage drop of some μV for 1 or 2 μA of current is simply drowning in the noise and peak currents of ~10mA already result in a noticeable supply drop (so increasing the resistance is out of the question).  I was thinking about building a small board with a 5Ω resistor and OPAMP set to something like 100x amplification, but first wanted to know if this is a good idea or if you know of any affordable, ready-made solutions. Obviously the bandwidth doesn’t have to be high, but some accuracy would be desirable.  Thanks in advance.  Michael On convergence of Bertrand series $\sum\limits_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{\alpha}\ln^{\beta}(n)}$ where $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}$ Study the convergence of $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}  \frac{1}{n^{\alpha}\ln^{\beta}(n)}$$ where $\alpha, \beta \in  \mathbb{R}$   I have proved that:   This series diverges when $\alpha \leq 0$. This series converges when $\alpha &gt; 1, \beta &gt; 0$ This series diverges when $0 &lt; \alpha &lt; 1, \beta &gt; 0$ This series converges when $\alpha = 1, \beta &gt; 1$      Question: What happens when $\alpha &gt; 0$ and $ \beta &lt; 0$?   There are other questions on MSE which ask about this series, but this question is distinct because   I would like an argument which does not rely on the integral test for series convergence, and this question considers all real $\alpha$ and $\beta$, while other questions ask only about $\alpha, \beta &gt; 0$, where we can apply Cauchy condensation criterion The Crossbow Expert feat gives three benefits, the first of which is explicitly tied to crossbows and the last of which to only hand crossbows. But in the middle, there is:     Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls   Notably missing is a qualifier like "when attacking with a crossbow". Does this mean that the benefit applies to other ranged weapons and to spells which require ranged attack rolls? Or does the name of the feat itself limit this to  crossbows? Regular Expression: Numeric range Can you reject a postdoc offer after the PI has paid a large sum for flights/accommodation for your visit? I am being considered for a very nice industry scientist position but this involves many interviews and assessments and can take some time.  However I have also accepted an invitation to the US (I'm in Australia) to give a presentation in relation to high likelihood of employment as a postdoc in a research institute.  The postdoc supervisor has arranged for sightseeing and lab visits and hotels. I feel bad if somehow I wish to pursue the industry position.  Has anyone had a similar experience and have you turned down something like that before? How to select more layers with GIMP? In Adobe Photoshop I am able to select multiple layers at once with Shift+Click.  How can I do that in GIMP?
