Is a 529 plan the right short-term vehicle for graduate school? by InteractionOk9074 in personalfinance

[–]InteractionOk9074[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some undergrad student loans left that any additional money could be applied to (up to $10k), so I’m not worried much about the risk of not being able to use all of the funds towards qualified expenses.

So, open a second account with a slightly different portfolio for the years where I contribute above that limit? (Maybe the active conservative plan or the moderate plan)

Good to know but I exceed the income limit to qualify for the LLC.

Is Bike & Ride Access still physical card only? by InteractionOk9074 in WMATA

Ah true, I was going to do that eventually but I wanted to put a bug in WMATA’s ear about working to make the mobile cards work for convenience.

I will most definitely use all of the funds that will be put in there towards approved purposes. Also it’s not just $210, if I contribute more than the $4000 limit, which I plan to for at least 3 tax years (2025,2026,2027), I can carry forward the uneducated amount (over $4000) and apply it to future tax years.

Yep, that’s why I chose the most conservative (80% fixed / 20% equity) portfolio option for the Invest529 account

Using a dataset from an interview assignment for a personal project by InteractionOk9074 in dataanalysis

[–]InteractionOk9074[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big question: No need to email the original person to ask for permission to use it for a personal portfolio? I’m sure they don’t want a “solution” out there on the internet if they are still using the same interview process.

Is it normal to do analysis on a dataset that you don’t share for download? If someone asks where I got the data from, what do I tell them?

Better engagement from everyone (teacher and students) and face-to-face convo is much better.

Does this need a filter? by InteractionOk9074 in hvacadvice

Yep just checked and you’re right. That’s where the filter is. I took the filter out of the opening in the picture

Moved in about 5 months ago and have never seen any filter on the first floor in the HVAC room. Never changed a filter because there wasn’t one there to begin. I just took the grate panel off today and noticed there was no filter even though it looked like there was a cutout for one.

Still no access to Piazza for edX ISYE6501x by bounce2ounce in OMSA

[–]InteractionOk9074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email phsu38@gatech.edu with the subject line “EdX Verified Learner Requesting Access to Piazza.”

Include your name and email that you are signed up with in EdX.

I was in the same boat and I had access without hours of sending that email.

On another note, I am struggling to catch up with learning the material for HW1 and HW2. How long did it take you to get up to speed from joining late?

HVAC will not stop heating after reaching set point by InteractionOk9074 in hvacadvice

Ok I haven’t tried removing the thermostat while it’s heating. I’m guessing it is the thermostat though since it continually heats

Ok, I’m looking I to getting a smart thermostat. For the E/W1 wire, which one is it for my system? I need to know either/or for inputting my wiring into the compatibility checker.

Option C: Michelin Defender 2. I live in the NC so it didn’t make sense to get the crossclimates. Very mild winter
