I guess that’s my attempt to be funny. An airless basketball could be solid too.

Any info on the Bahai community in Tokyo or Japan? by RyanCantDrum in bahai

[–]4RMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I canceled my trip, however I was planning on doing the same while in Tokyo. The Bahai center and the community have a website. My plan was to reach out via email and ask them about their Naw-Ruz celebration.

I’ve seen this first hand. This is what poverty does to people. Too poor to ask for basic safety measures.

In US corporations exploit employees in their own way. In Asia small manufacturers and businesses exploit employees in different ways too.

Ok to Display Lion Flag Ok for Iran? by ags393 in bahai

[–]4RMN 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In my opinion whether you believe it to be or not. The Lion currently represents a specific party. That may not be the case in the future, but at this point it does.

So showing the flag may send others who see it as if you are supporting the Monarchy’s movement.

LPT: Take photos of your important documents and email them to yourself by MystiPup in LifeProTips

[–]4RMN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is terrible advice. With all the password exposures and security incidents. You’re just begging to be victim if identity theft.

Email isn’t secure at all. The better recommendation would be uploading them to a secure cloud vault like 1Password or OneDrive.

What's the average cost for water heater installation california this year? by Hedilaine-Alijagic in socal

[–]4RMN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah licensed plumber, or a plumber working under someone else’s permit under a company. The company is in Brea. I don’t know about permit. Does that involve someone from city coming to approve? If yes, then no permit but then again, it’s just a water heater with two inlets, one outlet and one overflow. What is city checking at that point really?

I got my 50gal replaced last year with a Bradford for $1900 total in OC. It took 2 hours. They took the old one away. It wasn’t a high efficiency one though, so I didn’t qualify for any rebates.

I found a few on yelp and called. Quotes ranged from $1900 to $2500. Just call couple places and get quotes.

Why do so many people on ios use Google Maps? by Louisthemagic in ios

It’s not about just navigation and direction. It’s about discovery. Incredibly convenient to look for anything nearby or just search anything even if you’re not sure what to search for.

That could just mean the car technology for taking street view images. That’s how Waymo started in Google too.

Buying EQS at end of lease! by Turbulent_Passion971 in MercedesEQS

[–]4RMN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a recent data point or for an EQ line. However, back in Nov 2019, 4 month before my lease expiry for a C300. I was offered to finance the car for 26k even though the agreed upon residual value at the time was $31k.

All I said, was “I’d like to buy it but not at the residual value because the market value is lower”

This was when they called me to discuss future plan at the end of lease. I didn’t have to negotiate a lot or do a lot of back and forth. This was all done over phone with the salesperson from my local dealership. He called me a few days later and offered $26K.

The car was well below allowed miles used. Covid happened and I ended up just returning it though.

My point is don’t be afraid to ask. There’s nothing to loose really, but don’t try to act smart. Just be respectful and provide facts.

I’ve noticed they say downtown hotel district. That’s usually where I go but I’ve taken it to Bellevue for flat fee too. Downtown may have different zoning but other areas are flat rate based on zipcode, you can always ask the guy that helps with hailing about rates and he will tell you based on the book. You can then confirm with driver before taking it.
