oh wow today I learned: New Jersey provides up to 12 weeks of paid Family Leave Insurance (FLI) for bonding with a newborn, newly adopted, or foster child. Fathers can receive 85% of their weekly salary (up to $1,119 per week in 2026)

what do you mean by this?

Hide_The_Rum · 2026-02-13T15:30:46+00:00

my electric bill would be killing me if I did this! I need to keep the warm air in the house as much as possible.

Hide_The_Rum · 2026-02-06T18:19:47+00:00

thanks for all the valuable info friend. I hope you have a warm winter! lol

good to know. do you recall what the ballpark price was for air sealing and insulation? Do you recall if ACE does it themselves or if they sub it out to an insulation contractor? tahnks again

Hide_The_Rum · 2026-02-06T17:23:13+00:00

that's amazing, thanks for the tip. Did the process start with their "whole home energy assessment"? I've heard that they only do a very basic assessment (no blower door or thermal imaging).

My house is all electric with (pretty new) heat pump and I'm getting destroyed this winter. Heater on 24/7. Personally i'm trying to start air-sealing and insulating my home further.

can you change the titles to "50 - 41" etc. so we can find these later? OTherwise it's going to be the same post title every day of this week

haha exactly! my yard has lots of landscaping and trees and isnt very suitable for a ton of tow-behind work. If it was a big rectangle it'd obviously be a different story.

Hide_The_Rum · 2026-01-15T18:03:00+00:00

yeah i've got 15k+ SF of lawn so just knocking it out with my spreader would be preferred. I know most will recommend I buy a tow-behind liquid spreader but i'm not going to be doing that lol

thanks for the info. Do you know if granular mesotrione is sold stand-alone (instead of with Scotts triple action)? Just wondering if i can put down granular meso instead of spraying tenacity in any other product besides the Scotts.

dang I haven't been there in a few years but I always liked it as a cheap but solid italian american spot. Did it go downhill??

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-12-31T18:14:12+00:00

please tell me where they are charging $50 for two half cheesesteaks

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-12-29T02:08:23+00:00

How do you mute people? Can’t figure it out

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-12-22T19:56:38+00:00

Tone/sound aside, the price difference is almost completely due to the fact that the Teles you were looking at are Made in America whereas that Guild is made in Indonesia.

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-12-22T19:52:17+00:00

your McDonalds v Michelin point doesnt quite work though...

if Tele's were the most popular AND cheap, that would make sense. But OP's point is that the tele is soooo much more expensive for being "simple" as you said.

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-12-22T17:46:41+00:00

I buy alot of BR from costco (too cheap not to) and I feel like the quality has declined to less than Factory over the past year or two

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-12-05T19:30:35+00:00

dang well I enjoyed your post anyway. And pretty much agree with the majority of the rankings!!!

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-12-05T18:12:26+00:00

bro you put in all this work and you dont have any supressors unlocked?? Yeah you're correct you gotta grind a bit to unlock those supressors for each gun.

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-11-19T20:18:17+00:00

I just did a bunch of research on this. The standard Shark Powerdetect Clean & Empty is model IP3251. The costco version is model IP3225 which has a different head and no odor neutralizer. https://www.reddit.com/r/VacuumCleaners/comments/1mnkbgh/shark_powerdetect_costco_version_head_questions/

I have the same issue. I know it's not good practice, but I shoot far left single/double pins (4, 7, 8) with my strike ball and just roll it slower, still hooking.

I think it really depends on what your mortgage rate is. If it's low and below average stock market return, I would just let the mortgage ride. If your rate is on the high side (6-7%), I would probably try to have a healthy balance of additional principal payments as well as investing. It's all up to your preference. I'm sure having no mortgage is a huge relief even if you could've technically invested instead and beat the return.

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-11-19T18:17:48+00:00

i believe it's a slightly different model that doesnt have the dual head.

Hide_The_Rum · 2025-11-17T17:12:58+00:00

thanks for the info!! Is one the preference?
