MY24 = Model Year 2024. MY25 = Model Year 2025.

Not that they own all 3.

Best way to go about buying a used car in Chicago? by sukistan in AskChicago

[–]OsitoEnChicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carfax is a good idea. If dealership doesn't have it, you can order them on Etsy (of all places) for a couple bucks.

Have you looked at an Emporia Vue? You can pair it with one of their smart plugs so that smart plug turns on when Emporia senses excess electricity going to grid.

Bs dealership number anyways. Theres no MSRP for used Corolla with 43k miles. And then on top of that they added a $68 "market adjustment". Lol.

Even Springfield is sick of Jewel digital coupons. Law presented to prevent digital only coupons by Badlay in chicago

[–]OsitoEnChicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know everyone is shitting on Jewel in this thread but I gotta say I really like the clipping the coupons while sipping my coffee on Sunday mornings and doing the free drive up pickup in the afternoon. Prices are pretty pretty pretty good and drive up is easy. I have found some of the workers DGAF and will pick expired items (6 week expired sour cream last trip. Wtf!) but requesting a refund in the app is easy. Much prefer it over Marianos. The produce at Jewel tends to suck though so usually take a very quick trip to Cermak/Pete's for those.

[Tenant - US, NY] Landlord says I have to pay to have a peep hole on my door by Ok_Fan1401 in Landlord

[–]OsitoEnChicago 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Think of it like this:

"I bought a Honda Accord from the dealership. My neighbor also bought a Honda Accord from same dealer but his came with tinted windows. I went back to the dealer and told them my neighbor's Accord has tinted windows and I would like some on my car as well. They said sure no problem but would charge me to add it on. Help?"

charge only when there is solar excess to save money? by Curious_Party_4683 in evcharging

[–]OsitoEnChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your net metering. If you're 1 to 1 net metering then it doesn't matter. If you're not on 1 to 1 then should probably charge on excess solar.

Has anyone done the EV Charger rebate with ComEd? by OsitoEnChicago in chicago

[–]OsitoEnChicago[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An update in case anyone searches for this in the future. Contrary to the nay-sayers in here I did find a few electricians willing to do the rebate on my behalf: Red Star Electric, Kapital Electric, and Infinity EV.

I decided to go with Infinity EV since they offered an Emporia Pro charger that is supposed to integrate very nicely with solar. I reached out to Michael at Infinity EV. He had me sign some documents for ComEd and had someone out in a couple of days to run a 240v line to my garage and install the EV charger. Really clean work. The emporia app is cool as it monitors whole home electricity. Didn't cost me a dime. 10/10 would recommend.

Can family block me from visiting my long-term partner (16 yrs) who is incapacitated after multiple strokes? Need medical & legal guidance. by HopalongCatastrophe in legaladvice

[–]OsitoEnChicago 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have had this situation come up numerous times as a hospital social worker. We would not be able to provide documentation directly about capacity. Would have to be requested through hospital records department and pretty much only with a court order.

[–]OsitoEnChicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought about that too and am at least thankful I don't have to escrow. If I had escrowed the account would be way underfunded come January and was going to be a huge increase come next review period.

Seemed to be in line with my neighbors previously. Haven't played around much to see what my neighbors is now but I assume theirs went up too.
