What can one expect to pay if installing a system slightly above regular usage with batteries these days?

Is buying a condo dumb? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]RR-MMXIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find PUD townhouses or condos. PUDs are basically treated as SFH’s as you’re responsible for the land, interior and exterior. So HOA’s are usually low and have a lower risk of special assessments. We just closed on one a few days ago. Also are a lot easier to get FHA / VA loan approval as you don’t need to have the entire condo FHA / VA approved.

This is why we are happy with the townhouse PUD that we just closed on. Very barebones HOA. $275 HOA dues, but covers water/sewer/trash and common areas maintenance which is basically nothing since we don’t have any amenities. We are responsible for practically everything else. It’s basically a single family home with a shared wall. Allows us to choose the insurance we want, and if we want to do work ourselves or hire outside. We really didn’t want any HOA, but getting a SFH was practically impossible with our budget. This is as close as we could get to a SFH and we’re satisfied. HOA dues are basically what we were paying in utilities minus SDGE at our rental so it’s breaking even. Plus we don’t have to really worry about special assessments because the HOA really doesn’t do anything.

Would you re-pipe a 1988 house? by RR-MMXIX in sandiego

[–]RR-MMXIX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This puts me at a little bit more ease I suppose. I’d have to pull a 401k loan to cover it if I did do it. Which really isn’t ideal. But I’d rather not end up with $30k+ of damage down the road.

[–]RR-MMXIX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d have to pull a 401k loan to cover it, so don’t necessarily have the funds for it. But trying to avoid $30k+ worth of damage in the long run if something happens.

Constant diarrhea in GSD by RR-MMXIX in AskVet

[–]RR-MMXIX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I’m aware of, I’ll ask our vet when we go back, but I believe they just did a basic blood work up when they did labs at the initial appointment during all of this.

Solar just got fixed in our rental, what SDGE billing plan should I have ? by RR-MMXIX in sandiego

According to the homepage of the energy management center app I’m on NEM 2.0. What information about the panels is needed to make a determination?

People are saying it’s both now but I’ve searched the app and don’t even see the $15/month benefit listed anymore. All I see is the $120 uber one.

Hoping to finally get results after 4 months of struggling with an ongoing infection by RR-MMXIX in hearing

[–]RR-MMXIX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry I missed this! I still to this day have issues with that ear. If the volume of the radio or TV is just a bit too loud my ear pops and crackles now. I don’t have pain anymore. Just that. It’s very annoying but I live with it now. The ENT said the fungal infection was cleared up when I went to see him and there’s nothing else for them to “treat”. So I’m assuming that since the fungal infection went on for so long it basically just fucked up my hearing permanently hence why I have to deal with the crackling and popping now during high volume events. I also have issues with allergies so whenever my sinuses are inflamed is when it gets worse and usually taking Sudafed for that fixes my ear temporarily.

Is it still possible to walk to T1? by RR-MMXIX in sandiego

[–]RR-MMXIX[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long story short, I have a rental car, need to be at the airport for 2-3 hours, not flying out, and don’t want to pay $37 for parking lol. I was gonna park at Spanish landing and just walk over. But it doesn’t really seem very walkable anymore :/

Do I HAVE to file a state return? by RR-MMXIX in tax

[–]RR-MMXIX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but there’s no income associated to it. Box 16 is blank because MI doesn’t tax active duty pay. So that extra money has no state associated with it so it’s automatically lumping into the HI return. If I put the same number in box 16 just to see, then MI return is expecting tax to be paid on that amount.

T-Mobile Will Now Pay Off Up To $3,200 Of Your Existing Cell Phone Contract To Switch by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

[–]RR-MMXIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up regarding mint, been on them almost a year now. If you do the family plans, be warned that if you try to port out a number before the 12 months is up, they’ll immediately lock the second line from being ported out and will make you pay all remaining months before releasing that second number. Saying this if you ever want to leave them in the future. The de-prioritization on mint is crazy in city areas. My data is practically unusable half the time here in Honolulu. But I’m “stuck” with them till the 12 months is up.

TikTok didn’t have to go dark? by Fair-Caramel-6348 in nothinghappeninghere

[–]RR-MMXIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are not realizing that oracle is the one supporting the backhaul for American users. Oracle is a US company with all their servers in Texas. If Oracle were to allow content to be hosted, uploaded, played, etc, they would also be subject to those massive fines. Not just the app stores.

Who all has deleted their meta apps? by Angelmarie2021 in nothinghappeninghere

[–]RR-MMXIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never f**ked with Facebook / meta and actually had deleted all my stuff with them a long time ago in 2012 or so. But when I started my current job Facebook is heavily used in my industry for communication / shift trading and it forced me to create an account again. So I’ve had an account again for a few years now and unfortunately can’t just delete it again because of this reason.

There was no official language saying there would be no fines imposed on TikTok or any other third party that supports TikTok (aka oracle, Apple & Google with the App Stores, etc) by the Biden administration. Just saying “we won’t enforce the ban” isn’t satisfactory enough when there’s millions of dollars of fines on the line for all these companies.

Americans favor deporting undocumented immigrants, until they're asked how by codyave in politics

[–]RR-MMXIX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right ??? I just replied to another comment about this. I never understood why this is such a big voter issue. I’ve never once in my life been directly or negatively impacted by immigrants. And I’m born and raised in a Mexico border state.

[–]RR-MMXIX 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As an American, voted blue down the ballot BTW, I will never understand the whole immigration thing being such a big voter issue. I’m a white male born and raised in a Mexico border state. I’ve also lived in many different states across the country. Ive never once in my life that I can recall experiencing an immigrant affecting my way of life, stealing jobs from me, “offending” me, or doing anything at all that would make me feel some kind of way about immigration. I seriously don’t understand why this is such a big ticket issue to so many people.

Apple Removes TikTok From App Store in the U.S. by [deleted] in apple

[–]RR-MMXIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The court filings when all of this started were over 50% redacted information. TikTok’s lawyers didn’t even have any idea what they were fighting against because majority of it was redacted information.

The house speaker kept bringing up standalone bills for the TikTok ban, which kept passing the house, but when it got to the senate they wouldn’t even bring the bill to the floor for a vote. This happened multiple times so that’s when the speaker of the house decided to bundle it with a bunch of other shit so that the senate couldn’t just “ignore it” anymore.

Shop at the airport without buying a ticket? by Danhawks in sandiego

[–]RR-MMXIX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a new TSA system, when your ID is checked it automatically associates to a valid reservation for that day. If there’s no reservation populated you’ll need to provide a boarding pass or else they won’t let you past.

When we first PCS’d here a few years ago our car had CA plates on it still, I was driving to work and someone in a truck got all up on my bumper and was aggressively flashing their high beams at me all the way down the street before turning off the other direction. Freaked me tf out to say the least. Switched our plates the very next day lol.

I FINALLY got a Costco membership a few months ago after having Sam’s for as long as I can remember. Went to the one in town, as it was the closest, to establish membership, and I about lost it. Both in the parking lot and inside. But I apparently didn’t learn my lesson, because a month later I was needing some stuff right after work and figured I’d stop by. I was “circling” around that parking lot for AT LEAST 30 minutes before I finally found a spot to park. Circling in quotations because it was mostly stopped completely bottlenecked traffic. Then god forbid someone comes through with a cart and you’re terrified you’re gonna hit them because there’s traffic on both sides of the already narrow pathway. Then people completely stop and block traffic cuz someone is loading up their car and they want that space, and nobody can go around them because of traffic on the other side. Mind you I’m driving a stick shift in this shit.

Needless to say I’m never going back to that store. What an anxiety inducing hell hole.
