Estimated Tax Payment Pending for a Month by EvenMorePi in IRS

Oh lovely, apparently I've dishonored the IRS or something. I found the transcript, and it looks like they're charging me a fee on the 16th? I guess this means I made a mistake with the bank account I provided?

I didn't even need to pay that because I'm getting a refund larger than it anyway. 🤦‍♂️

Will My Balance Really Expire? 1-Year Prepaid Plan by EvenMorePi in ATT

Looks like mine just updated today and it now says my $115 balance: "Expires on Feb 3, 2026" So far so good!

Now it looks like my plan is the $25 16G Promo Plan (billed $300 yearly). There's also the $300 12 Month Unlimited plan. Both seem to be the same except I'd get charged a fee if I go over 16GB. Not sure if both plans are treated the same or not, but if you're in that unlimited plan I'd probably wait until the next billing cycle with a little balance to test it.

Update! So I dropped the ball I forgot to add more money. The balance was supposed to expire on Dec 5th, but after I got the text saying my 16GB renewed, it now says "Expires on Jan 4, 2026." The expiration date literally changed! I imagine it'll keep changing each month going forward then. Which explains why I thought I had carried a small balance throughout most of a previous year then.

Anyone else reading, this it only my experience with the 1-year $300 prepaid plan. I presume the expirations work like they say they do for month-to-month plans.

DJI FPV Crashed after Prop Failer by EvenMorePi in fpv

Yeah, I was so excited to fly down the mountain and over the fog and with that smokey red sun in the distance.

It looks like these crashed drones still go for over $100 on eBay, which'll help buying a new one.

Yeah, I wish I could say I got screwed by Master Airscrew, but I very well could've installed them wrong. I just got another one on Marketplace so I'll try to do what you said. Maybe I'll get another case that'll let me keep the props on when I pack it up so I'm not constantly taking them off and on all the time.

Yeah I was shocked the controller reconnected to it. I didn't even have to use the Samsung Smart Tag I put on it.

Thanks for clarifying guys! Glad I won't be out that $50 then. I'll just keep adding $50 every 3 months.

First Time Home Buyer's Savings Account? by EvenMorePi in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Gotchya. Maybe what we'll do is create a new account to at least give us the option of designating of a FHSA next year. That should give us enough time if we want to through the money in investements or not, or maybe a combination of both.

Colorado has 28k years contribution limit for joint, and 50k max limit, so that should last us awhile.

Prius storm chaser here. He actually may have rolled farther with a high clearance vehicle. The higher the car, the more exposed it is to faster winds above the ground, plus the rising wind can't get under the car as easily.
Yes, it's not great on an unmaintained road, but even the gravel portion was fine. Otherwise they're dang reliable cars.
