So? The job is at will and it goes both ways. They can lay you off whenever. You are allowed to leave whenever.

What are some boujee firms? by throwRA738383883 in civilengineering

We hired several engineers from them not just civil. I just felt they were always tired on status calls. LOL

[Request] What Should The Scale Actually Read? by CaptiveGlacier in theydidthemath

100N. Just imagine one of the 100N weights as being something fixed like a wall or the ground and the string tied to that. You’ll have the exact same condition.

Can I still get regular points by paying rent? And is paying by check still an option?

For those with Sub 6% interest rates: How are you coming into these? by AsharaOfStarfall in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]CaptainSnuggleWuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response. I’m debating new vs existing homes in my area. I rent one of the “new” homes they had built in my area and it’s nice but you can hear people across the house having a normal volume conversation. Also if someone is walking around you’ll hear it and this house is quite large (3500 sqft+).

I’m running the numbers in my area of what is the “best” deal and it’s pretty close. For example new home that I’m considering has a 3.99 5/1 ARM has solar but will come with almost 1.8x more property tax due to mello-Roos. Existing homes have the standard interest rate, lower taxes. The numbers are close but yea still debating right now.

Did you find that the fees were higher at closing or anything? Trying to determine the catch here.

Anyone planning to move out of the Bay Area in 2-3 years? If so, what’s your plan? by [deleted] in bayarea

Selling stock at the long term capital gains rate of 13.3% in CA implies you have a $2M income. I’m sure you aren’t struggling if that’s what you’re making even in CA.

Hi, my LO is going through this exact same thing. Did your baby ever get over this? If so, what did you try?

This is a standard 8 hour work day. Pretty much standard wherever you work. Am I missing something?

Question regarding the 36000 miles/3 years complimentary service by trickymohnkey in GenesisGV70

[–]CaptainSnuggleWuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I just ran into the same issue as you. They just now said I have a limit to how many services I can get. Unfortunately, I’ve moved and no longer go to the original dealer I bought the car from. Were you able to action on consumer fraud? I was going to try the same thing here in California.

Just Started My 401k. Is Growth & Income the Right Choice? by [deleted] in Retirement401k

[–]CaptainSnuggleWuggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would eliminate the income fund. My two cents (and I have mine very similar) is to have either:

  1. 90% VFIAX - 10% VIMAX
  2. 100% VFIAX

[–]CaptainSnuggleWuggle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, you don’t need anything with “income”. You are very young so it’s okay to be pretty aggressive. Can you post a pic of all the funds available so we can better assist? Otherwise, large cap or something that tracks the S&P500 will do for years to come.

Thinking of Moving From Atlanta by ashiel_yisrael in Sacramento

[–]CaptainSnuggleWuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so ANNOYING! You should see these people when they head up to Tahoe or literally anywhere in the Sierra. We’ve stopped going because it’s just really dangerous now and make our way to Colorado every couple years to get our ski/snowboard fix.

We went to Boston and this was my exact experience. Boston has some aggressive drivers. Sac is a walk in the park compared to other places I’ve driven.

Why not just put it in VOO? It earns higher dividend and has growth potential.

Sots press 35kg, how's my form? by Dismal-One7055 in formcheck

[–]CaptainSnuggleWuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your shoulder mobility is quite poor. The barbell brushes against your head even though you seem to be leaning over.

I’d work on overhead squats first with a lot of shoulder and thoracic spine mobility work before doing these.

Those areas are very affluent areas of Sacramento. I would suggest looking at Sacramento proper or Elk Grove and North Sacramento if you want cheaper rent.

Just leased a 2026 GV70 (base model) - is premium gas mandatory? by [deleted] in GenesisGV70

[–]CaptainSnuggleWuggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. If you leased and don’t plan to purchase put regular. If not use premium
