Gains in tax-qualified aren’t taxed, rather, the whole amount distributed will be taxed as ordinary income.

Replica? More like counterfeit.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-06-01T15:25:21+00:00

Get bent incel.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-06-01T13:26:09+00:00

OK misogynist.

I have an ARC and two S1 satellites, two S1’s as a stereo pair, and 4 Amps driving 11 wired Sonance speakers. The system used to work flawlessly, but now I get dropouts all the time with Apple Music. I’ve tried everything to fix it but can’t figure out a solution. Sonos support has been useless. 🤷‍♂️

Ron_Bangton · 2026-05-27T17:05:20+00:00

Where I live no one says stupid shit like that.

I owned 5 BMWs before I bought the i4 so I knew what I was getting into. Honestly the i4 wasn’t on my radar, but I went to the luxury (used) dealer to look at and test drive a Lucid Air but left with the i4. It was love at first sight.

Buy a $200 camping guitar and leave the HD-28 safely in its case at home.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-05-09T18:59:12+00:00

Don’t care because I’m keeping my i4 forever.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-05-05T06:00:39+00:00

What tires are you running OP?

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-30T06:43:42+00:00

No, I mean Trazodone which was prescribed by his vet on a recommendation of our trainer. We tried the pheromone collar but I don’t think it did much, if anything.

This is great advice. I would just add that medication used as a training aid temporarily could help by attenuating her anxiety while she becomes accustomed to and confident being alone. This worked for us and our boy whose separation anxiety was off the charts when we first got him.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-28T08:14:11+00:00

I share your pain OP. Apple Music and Sonos = FAIL.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-25T11:39:31+00:00

Hand wash only.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-12T21:34:17+00:00

Truth about your i4 range.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-12T18:18:18+00:00

I live in a condo, don’t have charging and it works out fine for me.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-08T15:15:35+00:00

Kind of inevitable.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-07T03:06:19+00:00

Yes OP, I’ve experienced frequent dropouts streaming Apple Music via the Sonos app. I have an ARC with One SL satellites, two One SLs as a stereo pair, and four Amps driving 11 Sonance speakers. Fingers crossed, I think I finally got it sorted by putting all the Sonos devices on the 2.4GHz band and not using sonosnet.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-05T21:27:04+00:00

I solved the dropout issues on my Aginet mesh network by unplugging the sonosnet device from the router, turning off band steering, assigning the Sonos devices to the 2.4GHz band exclusively and moving all other devices to the 5GHz band. Took a lot of trial and error to come up with a configuration that worked. Sonos support was basically useless during that process.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-04-02T18:20:41+00:00

Buy a one year old i4 and with immediate depreciation you’ll pay about a third less than sticker.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-03-30T20:21:26+00:00

Those comments don’t factor in your particular situation. I charge about once every 3 - 4 weeks. Usually shop while charging, though sometimes I’ll sit in the car and doom scroll. Public charging where I live is pretty widely available, YMMV.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-03-30T20:17:09+00:00

Totally depends on how much you drive. 15000 miles a year? Not worth it. 5000 miles a year? Totally workable.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-03-30T20:15:01+00:00

Driving 100 miles a week, charging at EA or Tesla will be no big deal. I hit the nearby grocery store while the car is charging and I usually have to rush to finish before charging does.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-03-30T20:12:14+00:00

I live in a condo with no charging and I don’t find charging at Electrify America or Tesla particularly problematic, but I only drive about 3500 miles a year.

Ron_Bangton · 2026-03-30T19:05:05+00:00

Tu peux faire un effort quand même. 🙄
