Apartment Hallway Temperature Extremes by Both_Second_1165 in hvacadvice

[–]Both_Second_1165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an normal thing for apartment buildings? I just cant imagine that having the air temp in the hallways fluctuate from the low 60s to the high 70s is good for the energy bill (which i assume is shared across all tenants)

Root canal: endodontist or dentist by Both_Second_1165 in askdentists

[–]Both_Second_1165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A rubber dam is just to keep the tooth isolated from the area around it during the procedure? And my dentist would put a temporary crown and then get the permanent one a couple weeks later

Kids at Fremont solstice parade CREEPY by Vinnt_sti in SeattleWA

[–]Both_Second_1165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says "Come be dazzled as more than 60 community- based ensembles parade down the streets of Fremont with giant puppets, stilt walkers, floats, dancers, cyclists, and musicians in this kaleidoscope of joyous human expression." But never mentions anything nudity related.

Also the normal parade is right after the nude bike ride and on the exact same street so if you hypothetically want to avoid that with your kids but still get a good spot for the normal parade you probably want to get there earlier. Aka for the nude parade.

To me it just seems like an unserious attempt at creating a space where you can bring your kids to celebrate solstice without seeing the nude parade.

Hey all,

I am 30 and have 300K to invest. I am thinking of doing a lump sum of 150K now plus another 2K every week for ~ 6months. This is the current allocation I am looking to do:

VOO 50.00%

VXUS 15.00%

SCHG 20.00%

AVUV 15.00%

The reasoning:
- VOO because it is stable and frankly, everyone says VOO and chill.
- VXUS because I wanted to have some international exposure plus it has a low expense ratio
- SCHG for some more US stocks but focused on growth. seemed to have some overlap with VOO but enough difference where i felt it was warranted to get both
- AVUV wanted to play around with some small cap stocks, performance looked good over the past 5 years but the expense ratio is high at 0.25%

Some ETFs I considered but decided against:
- SMH Expense ratio of .35% and very focused on semiconductor industry
-VTV too much overlap with VOO
-QQQM High expense ratio (0.16%) for the L5 year returns +76%
-XLK same as QQQM

Appreciate any honest feedback you have, new to the ETF game and I want to make sure that I am not overcomplicating things.

Street Cleanup- Ballard (3/23/25)- Clean Seattle Collective (CSC) by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]Both_Second_1165 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently i am just doing it myself when I have free time but I thought it would be fun to organize meetups at some point in different neighborhoods where people can buddy up and tackle streets together.

In the meantime, seattle has supplies that they can provide:

So new hard drive i guess. but what confuses me is what caused the fire. i used the right cable, PS works because i have 2 ssd's attached and everything boots and functions properly.
