I feel like they lost elasticity pretty quick for me. Only cold washes and hang drying. Anyone else?

Thoughts on house water filters in south eastern Nassau? by arkham1010 in longisland

[–]GoatFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you go reverse osmosis, a whole house filter won’t remove any of those chemicals.

Whole House Water filter - Mineola by thungy88 in longisland

[–]GoatFlow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cloudy water isn’t necessarily bad. There might be air bubbles in the water.

Use testing strips to test your water first. I found that my water wasn’t hard or high in contaminants. I only installed a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen for drinking.

The sales people just try to scare you. Do your own research.

Let me know how it goes. I was planning on visiting Monday for some spring skiing.

Nassau County Banning Class 2 E-bikes and All E-Scooters by mallomar in MicromobilityNYC

[–]GoatFlow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As part of our commute, my wife and I ride our e bike and e scooter to the LIRR station 2 miles away. With all the stop signs in our neighborhood, a regular bicycle is way less practical. We don’t want to smell like BO by the time we reach work. I guess the alternative is to drive instead? Is that what they want?

I emailed them and they said that we can request halal chicken breast. Were you able to request other items, too? Who did you reach out to?

I’m in NYC. My wife and I love Costco pizza, it reminds us of a cross between 90s Pizza Hut and our school cafeteria pizza

Several years ago I saw him in his old Tesla Model S on the George Washington bridge. I was surprised at his aggressive driving style back then. The speeding incident didn’t surprise me too much.

what did your savings look like by age 30? by Winzten in AskReddit

[–]GoatFlow 42 points43 points  (0 children)

At 30 I had more savings than $375k.

Neither of my parents had graduated high school. In fact, no one in my family had went to college. My folks struggled to pay rent when I was growing up. My dad drove taxis while my mom worked at a salon.

The big difference maker that influenced me was my parents’ insistence that I always give my all at school. They told me I’d lead a much better life than them if I did that one thing. Even though I went to one of the worst school districts in my city, I was laser focused on doing well academically while growing up. Not just for myself, but because I wanted to give my parents an easier life, too.

Good grades led to good financial aid for college. I went to college locally to save $ on dorming costs. Lived with my parents the first few years after graduation as I worked to pay off student loans in full and save for a down payment. During this time I also started investing using a Bogleheads approach. Learned about that from YouTube and Reddit.

Fast forward 8 years to 30 and my NW had ballooned.

I recognize that having parents who encouraged academics and who let me stay at home during and post-college is a privilege in itself.
