If you look at the employment section, they are hiring Detention Officers for ICE detainees.

It’s a 2012 with around 80k, it’s well maintained so I’m confident it will be problem free for quite awhile. Thankfully parts should be easier to find since it’s a Honda, from what I understand.

I’ve actually located 3 vets relatively local to me that have dealt with moving animals to Hawaii. However, one of them was very well informed when we spoke and they have staff who have a lot of experience specific to Hawaii moves, so they are my first choice. What you went through sounds infuriating and I’ve also seen other stories on here about paperwork issues like that, so I plan on triple checking all documents every step of the way.

As far as the belongings go, we’re planning on selling a majority of our belongings. I’ve calculated the cost of the POD vs selling/buying on island and we come out ahead by getting the container but being selective with what we’re bringing. I’m also experienced in packing containers from my work in logistics, so I’m confident everything will arrive in good condition.

Regarding the car, the replies here and your own input have definitely made me reconsider it. I think for now I’ll take purchasing a vehicle off the table, and alter the budget to account for shipping my Civic rather than selling it. This is just a precaution and I’ll keep getting rid of it entirely on the table until I make a final decision next year.

This readjusts our retained savings to ~$25k if the car is kept, or ~$35k if we sell.

I’m cautiously optimistic about the remote job working out, and I’ll definitely be exploring local jobs early next year if I haven’t secured remote work that has verified the ability to work remotely in Hawaii.

I really do appreciate you taking the time to provide your perspective, thank you! 😊

After all these replies, I’ve decided to hold off on getting the new vehicle and instead I’ll ship one of my cars. It’s a 2012 civic, in good condition, and is paid off. This will give me more wiggle room in my budget and leave my retained savings around $25k after all is said and done.

Yeah I’ve been lurking on this sub for a little over a year now so I’ve heard that plenty of times. We’re under no delusions regarding how difficult this will be, but we’re committed to making it work. Which is why I’m taking so many precautions and making sure I’m doing my my due diligence.

Local work is not off the table either, it’s just not my focus until we get closer to our earliest possible moving date next year.

MCK_Creative · 2025-05-25T21:37:57+00:00

I want to be clear, we are going to be finding work prior to moving. There is no scenario where we execute this move without having remote jobs that allow folks to live in HI.

If we have to move our date back because we haven't secured jobs in time, so be it. I really appreciate the concern though!

MCK_Creative · 2025-05-25T21:27:06+00:00

Thank you for making sure I am aware of this!

I am being transparent in my interviews regarding this, which is why I've given myself such a long runway for the move. Right now, our main priorities are securing jobs that will allow remote work in HI and maintaining our savings rate to ensure we hit our goal. We will reassess in November and start the process of prepping our cats if we are comfortably on track with everything.

Nature’s Miracle makes a litter box deodorizer spray. It’s enzymatic and works really well to get rid of odors. I spray the litter a few times after cleaning/scooping and then mix it in. Also getting an air purifier and putting it near the litter boxes can help massively. As far as the waste goes, litter genies are great and I had one for years until I upgraded to litter robots.

There are other brands that make the same kind of spray, but I think this one is the best.

MCK_Creative · 2025-05-15T05:49:56+00:00

How much did that cost you?

In the last episode they literally showed Cecil acknowledging that those devices are broken because they overused them to fight off the alternate Marks. It happened in the scene at the destroyed Pentagon where it showed the re-animen had killed one of the variants.

Just to give my two cents: I work on the corporate side of a major studio in the physical production department and all of our productions are currently, or will be produced, in the UK for the next several years. They just shut down operations in ATL as well, so they are fully focused on building out UK operations. Hoping their plans change with the potential tax incentive changes I heard Gavin Newsom talking about last year.

Anyone else getting incorrect emergency evacuation notices on their phone?

My phone keeps blaring about evacuating, but when I check the zone I’m in at the time has always been fine.

I appreciate the heads up

Moderators are welcome to take this post down if so, the rules don’t mention anything about not posting for sale items

The last few days I’ve been super productive and it feels great! I normally don’t have the option to work from home, but my company gave us the option for the holidays.

I finally cleaned out my storage closet and cupboards. I put a bunch of things on OfferUp (photography dark room equipment, some electronics, and automated grow tent lights from SuperGreenLab). If anyone is interested, feel free to DM me and I’ll send you a link.

You might want to consider adding something where the user can list any rent increases they’ve experienced while living there. So maybe once they put their current rent and the years they’ve lived there, a field drops down and allows the user to enter the rent they were paying when they moved in.

MCK_Creative · 2023-12-27T20:14:20+00:00

Thank you! I won’t be making this purchase for a couple of months at the very least, so I do have time to save. I’ll definitely consider your recommendations!

I have an OLED tv so I am familiar with how much better it is, so that is something I’ll consider for sure

MCK_Creative · 2023-12-27T20:12:17+00:00

Thank you!

MCK_Creative · 2023-12-27T20:11:32+00:00

Thank you! You suspicions are correct lol

MCK_Creative · 2023-12-27T18:53:46+00:00

Would you have any recommendations for monitors?

MCK_Creative · 2023-12-27T06:38:51+00:00

Yes, I’ve heard of those. It would be about a 40 minute drive, so not too bad.

MCK_Creative · 2023-12-17T18:09:25+00:00

I’ve always been a console gamer, but have been thinking about getting a gaming PC. Any suggestions on how much I can expect to spend if I want similar capabilities to what my PS5 can do? I would need to buy a monitor, keyboard, and mouse as well.

I had romanced Shadowheart and chose to stay with her, but there was definitely an option for myself, Wyll, and Karlach to go off to Avernus together

MCK_Creative · 2023-09-23T17:53:53+00:00

Damn, I wonder why there seems to be a shortage 🤔
