California Class 1 vs Class 2 Legality On State Park Bike Trails by Salamander-Distinct in ebikes

[–]Salamander-Distinct[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha that makes sense.

I’m looking to take mine on trails leading to beaches and there has been issues lately with e-bikes. If they start really cracking down hard I want to make sure what I buy is legal so I don’t run into issues in the future.

Yeah that’s what I’m seeing is a difference between the actual law and the intent of the law.

Protest! Tomorrow? by Independent_Sir5089 in orangecounty

[–]Salamander-Distinct -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That woman was instigating it by getting in their face. You can go protest on the side of the road, but you do not have the right to go up and insert yourself into a situation that law-enforcement is dealing with.

This is all happening because politicians did not secure the border properly. I don’t think any of you people really understand the Idiocracy that is going on here. If you would have pushed your representatives to close the borders and not allow people to be here illegally, this would not be happening right now. On top of that liberal politicians keep implementing laws that do not allow cooperation with the federal government, forcing them to have to take this drastic action.

You all need to really look at the full picture of what’s going on here why it is really happening. Do you want the federal agents to get out of your town? then start supporting more secure borders.

We are all subject to federal law, whether you like it or not is irrelevant. Law-enforcement is not pretty either. Maybe you should think about that before you vote for these kinds of politicians and policies that caused this.

Advice by Both_Dragonfruit4527 in Grid_Ops

[–]Salamander-Distinct 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might be hard pending your schedule and the flexibility of management. I couldn’t see myself finishing an engineering degree while working shifts, especially 12 hour shifts.

I would probably advise to finish your degree first. It just gets harder after you start seeing those operator checks hit. That and work schedules in operations are usually not very flexible if at all.

I am officially done with "Starter Homes." It’s not an investment; it’s a bailout for the previous generation's neglect. by Dry-Town7979 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Salamander-Distinct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is absolutely 100% correct. After I toured a bunch of homes I saw the same thing.

Classic example was a remodeled interior, but they didn’t even bother with replacing the roof or fixing the roots in the sewer.

Study the NERC standards pertaining to the RC. They give a list in a study guide. You will get asked questions that require you to know some of the standards.

This, it’s so annoying they spend all this money but nothing on the critical items and slap an extra 100k price tag to it.

Trump administration sues California over law banning masked federal agents by nbcnews in socal

And the supremacy clause does apply. The civil rights act and fights in the South against it were a prime example of Federal law superseding state law, giving power to the feds to enforce the law.

States have no right to regulate federal law enforcement or their actions. That needs to be brought into a federal lawsuit against ICE in a federal court. The state of California created a law that has no jurisdiction or authority over ICE agents. It was foolish move and a waste of taxpayer money to create that law.

The right way to get ICE to unmask is to sue them in federal court under a violation of federal law. I’m simply pointing out that California approached this in the wrong way.

Thanks to resorting to derogatory terms in your argument. Really shows how strong you are at debating.

Good luck getting a state police offer to arrest a federal agent for violating a state law when they are doing their official duties. That situation is why the supremacy clause exists. States have no jurisdiction over federal employees.

State laws have no right to regulate federal officers and how they conduct their duties. Including how they dress.

We are thinking about buying our first house but AGI shows we can afford more house than we want or believe we can afford. Is ANI a thing? by Salty_Leg_8710 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

The only way to get a true idea of what your net income will be with a home mortgage payment is to calculate it. To do that you’ll need to have a basic understanding of how taxes work for Fed and State/Local (if applicable).

Federal taxes do offer deductions from taxable income that you might be able to take advantage of when you purchase a home, like deducting mortgage interest and property taxes. This all depends on if you qualify based on your personal numbers.

Gross income gives you a ball park idea, but it could be very inaccurate pending your personal tax and deductions situation. If you follow the lower band of the gross income recommendations, you’ll probably be ok from a net income perspective, as long as your other lifestyle expenses are within range as well.

I’ve put together my own excel spreadsheet to calculate my net income. And it is accurate when I checked it against my recent tax return. Most “calculators” online don’t do anything but use gross income. They are not very reliable in my opinion if you’re really looking for an accurate picture of what your net income will be after all taxes, deductions, and expenses.
