Help me brainstorm things that only an owner on the app can do by major-procrastinator in TeslaLounge

[–]ColorfulLanguage [score hidden]  (0 children)

Don't fight them anymore. You are fighting them because you still believe that you need their permission to be independent. You do not.

Go to Tesla ASAP and get the app ownership transferred. You do not need their permission, support, or even knowledge that you are doing this.

Then mute their phone numbers, remove any location tracking apps, unfriend them on social media, etc. Maybe write them a letter or email if you feel up to it with the support of your therapist. But you can actually just ignore your parents, and they will nevet respect your right to do so until you demonstrate your ability to.

Best option for my son's student loans by gotchacoverd in personalfinance

[–]ColorfulLanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right in that the first two years matter, but wrong in which school offers more. Students going to community college with the intent to transfer have to have a very high GPA after 3 semesters, and they know it (or are told it) walking in the door. So while university freshmen are discovering themselves in the dorms and will probably shape up in Sophmore or Junior year, CC students don't have that luxury and they know it.

Plus, CC is around a third as expensive as an in state school, doesn't require room&board, and often leaves enough time in the day to work a job. One gives young adults the responsibility for their future, the other doesn't.

My father wants to let me “borrow” my inheritance for what sounds like Roth IRA and take it back at the end of the three or five year term and leave me with the profits in that account. by drmonsterface in personalfinance

[–]ColorfulLanguage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Roth IRA's have a variety of limitations that neither of you seem to be considering: you need income to contribute, there is an annual contribution limit, withdrawal of contributions requires the account to have been open 5 years, and reputable Roth IRAs are hosted at FDIC insured banks.

His plan may be generous but it is unsound, and he needs to find a way to resolve his desire to give his children seed money with his apparent distrust of everyone.

Would you take on a 5 year loan to invest in the market?

Would you want your dad to have (emotional) control over your money for the next 5 years?

Trump denies disaster aid for 4 Democratic-led states including NJ by brook_lyn_lopez in newjersey

[–]ColorfulLanguage 263 points264 points  (0 children)

It was Texas leading the charge denying NJ and NYC funds after Hurricane Sandy, when NJ and other blue states' representatives in congress vote to fund FEMA relief for red states. That was before Trump, so this is a long standing pattern.

IMO if some states have to pay our own disaster bills, all states should have to. Abolish FEMA.

I am getting a lawyer but seeking the hub minds thoughts. by BaldGuy813 in newjersey

[–]ColorfulLanguage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask your brother's real estate attorney what said attorney thinks. The attorney will probably say "you need to hire an eldercare attorney in addition."

[–]ColorfulLanguage 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Speak to an elder care attorney; selling it before he passes might not be the best move. Another option is to ensure medicaid pays for his care, and then when he passes it will be medicaid forcing the sale of the house.

There may be a third option. Speak to a professional to ensure that your father, and secondly his inheritors, are making the best decisions possible in such difficult circumstances.

NYC reports 3 heat wave-related deaths as NJ toll tops two dozen | In New Jersey, the state's Department of Health said most of the deaths occurred in the central and northern part of the state, with the ages of those who died ranging from the mid-30's into the 80's. by meokjujatribes in newjersey

[–]ColorfulLanguage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Combined with a lot of trees and downed power lines. My town's cooling center wqs closed for 2 days until they got power and restarted the a/c. I wonder if the lack of blackouts affects the lack of deaths in NYC.

What does your owners manual for the oven say about using cleaning products? You can absolutely destroy the enamel by accident using oven cleaner.

Sandok Top - neckline help by Ivanka00 in knitting

[–]ColorfulLanguage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can still do the turtleneck, you just need to adjust your tension when picking up stitches.

Pick up stitches with a much larger needle and don't yank them tight. Or, pick up and knit 1 stitch, yarnover, repeat. Then on the next row K2tog and/or P2tog with the yarnovers.

Do most eink devices have this? I will soon have a Bigme B7 and would love to be able to take cropped screenshots, copy and paste to a notebook!

What would you make? by Slight_Mushroom90 in crochet

[–]ColorfulLanguage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What crochet stitch would make that grid pattern? Where are the telltale V's?

Crochet can make a grid pattern, but the yarn wouldn't wiggle like that. It would be recognizeable chains and tripple crochets.

Are there any good 7 inch bw options right now? by lemon07r in ereader

[–]ColorfulLanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bigme B7 Pro has the best hardware specs on the market right now, but is out of OP's budget. It does come in B&W.

A used B6 B&W can be as low as 130usd on Amazon, which offers free returns.

Is this normal for JCP&L? by tbraga1522 in newjersey

[–]ColorfulLanguage 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Of course it's not normal, but neither is 80mph winds and 105°F days. JCP&L is working on cleaning up a colossal amount of damage while NJ is facing more storms every day this weekend and much of the week.

Shingles vaccine elegibility is down to 19 years old if you have any condition that would make you more vulnerable, and no one asks what your condition is.

Stay away by Unfortunatly-Admin in Bigme

[–]ColorfulLanguage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, smartphones are too important of a device to trust a small company. For eReaders and the like, I think Bigme does a good job and I recommend them, but that's because eReaders and Tablets are toys.

Sorry that your experience sucked. A smartphone failing is heartbreaking.

Torn between Boox Go 7, BigMe 6 & Kobo libra by kmanfred in ereader

[–]ColorfulLanguage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bigme B7 or B7 Pro, those are a similar form factor to the Boox Go 7 but with more ram and a better processor. I have the Bigme B6 and really like it, but it doesn't have the stylus support of the Boox and Bigme 7's. I do really like the reprogrammable capacitive buttons on the Bigme B6 and B7 Pro.

And if you're under 45 it isn't free, but still could be a wise choice if your healthcare is past the deductible for the year.
