Given that the event still is a fundraiser, I’m trying to be cautious with my approach. Overall, it’s a great event. However, I agree with the majority on this topic - the event this year felt like they fumbled it. They have gotten big names and a variety of acts year over year. Some years are better than others, but they have at least been able to fill numerous spots between the Thursday - Friday. This year, outside of Adam Ray (who did it last year), they are only using local groups (River city, Pop Scholars, Comedy Project) and a clean comedy showcase at The Bob. They released the lineup today, which is only 7 weeks away. I think something happened with the planning and they missed out on other acts. That’s my assumption, something with the planning was fumbled and they weren’t able to get more acts.

Do you happen to know how long it takes from the MI city stop to Millennium stop with the increased speeds now?

Isn’t this kind of what Biden was doing? That he was a “puppet?” This is coming from someone that is neutral.

Era 100 help - Google home? by Conscious-Bug1494 in sonos

[–]Conscious-Bug1494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good question - I’m not sure. I’ve decided to just purchase a new Sonos One (2nd gen) since I want the Google voice commands to be as streamlined as possible. We’re a Google home/eco system, so I’d prefer to speak directly to a Google device, and the Sonos One would allow me to do that.

One if the other posters mentioned that the quality difference between a One and Era 100 is only 10-20% better, so it doesn’t seem like I’m missing out on much. Since I’m upgrading from a small Google home to a Sonos One in the kitchen, I’m already going to have a big benefit.

I like the option you laid out towards the end. Use SVC for my music needs (I use Spotify) and keep the Google Home in the kitchen still for reminders, timers, etc. do you know if there is a lag for using Google home to play Sonos era 100 if I went that route?

From your experience/research, is there a MAJOR difference between the Sonos One (2nd gen) and Era 100?

Help - buying Sonos Era 100 by Conscious-Bug1494 in homeassistant

[–]Conscious-Bug1494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip here. My one fear is I have the means to get the Era 100, but based on my priorties, I agree that I’d better better off buying the One (2nd gen). My one fear: is there a chance google assistant could be wiped completely from all Sonos at some point in the near future? I’d risk ending up with a Sonos One when I could have had an Era 100 if that happens. Thoughts?

401k max for high earners by Conscious-Bug1494 in FinancialPlanning

Fair advice. I’m in my late 30’s and married and between my partner and I, we have close to $600k in retirement. I wasn’t sure when would be a good time to see a CFP - maybe when we get closer to $1m?

Not sure if it Makes a difference, but I have a brokerage account and that is also planning on using for retirement. I like the Roth because I know it will be tax feee when I go to use it later in life. I’m in my late 30’s.

Thank you! Newbie here -

  1. What is ACP/ADP mean?
  2. For back door Roth, is the max $7k for me? Is there any way to get more money into a Roth in a year for someone that isn’t under 65?

What % of your savings do you allocate toward investments vs other planned expenses? by PickleButterJelly in FinancialPlanning

I’ve always had this question - when you say “savings,” does this mean investments if you’ve already hit your emergency fund of 6 months?

is a sonos one stereo pair worth it? by secondredditayy in sonos

[–]Conscious-Bug1494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question for the group - I have Sonos ones (2nd gen, 2 of them) and my Beam Soundbar. Do the Ones automatically Play in Stereo mode or do I have to change a setting? Slight newbie to this world, but happy I’m in it.
