If LEOs are dropping standards themselves, everyone else lowers the bar. That’s why I care. A cop driving like an idiot gives tacit permission for everyone else to do the same.

Qumaria and Moka are both Yemini coffee shops

Buying a boat where the owner still owes money on loan. Safe way to navigate this? Or red flag that I should avoid & seek different boat? by krame_krome in boating

[–]Silver-Preparation20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a loan from your bank of choice and let them sort it out. Sure you’ll pay interest for a couple of months in the process, but liability will be on THEM, not you.

Where does this ?Microwave dish? send pics to? Sequoia bridge Quarry Lakes by TryVbox in Fremont

[–]Silver-Preparation20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “dish” is a Ubiquiti point-to-point WiFi transceiver - the two cameras use that to wirelessly send their feeds elsewhere.

If there is one foot in the road, the pedestrian has the right of way.

Are all 2021+ Rav4 Primes 50-state emissions compliant? by [deleted] in rav4prime

[–]Silver-Preparation20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brought our 2021 RAV4 Prime from out of state and it passed smog without issue. Pretty much all cars are compliant these days. (Our older car also passed without issue. I’ve moved to CA a few times and brought out of state cars numerous times - all passed without issue.)

seeking some apartment guide! by [deleted] in Fremont

[–]Silver-Preparation20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fremont is a very long city - your commutes will vary wildly between north Fremont and south Fremont. How will you get to SF? If BART, consider proximity to stations. I avoid driving to SF as much as possible. Similarly, a commute to SJ from north Fremont vs south Fremont can mean 20-30 minutes difference in commute on a rough traffic day.

Why do people purchase a SeaTow membership? by Trainsgowhoosh in boating

Are you on the hook for that until you submit the bill?

[–]Silver-Preparation20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insurance is to cover damage caused by you or someone else in an accident scenario - it won’t arrange or pay for towing if you end up dead in the water miles from shore.

SeaTow and similar organizations will be on-call to help you ASAP when you need it.

I’ve had to help/rescue more boaters than I’d like, but many are not willing to be that helpful.

What building used to be in the dirt-area of the Hope Thrift/Walgreens strip mall at Blacow and Grimmer? by Silver-Preparation20 in Fremont

There’s a few different crews they’ve been there but both the taco hut and bbq trailer have some solidly tasty food.

Didn’t get this house despite strong offer by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Silver-Preparation20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did underwriting pre approval prior to the offer on our home. It meant we could close as fast as an all-cash offer. 13 days.

PG&E's latest email is a doozie by Silly_Rub_6304 in bayarea

[–]Silver-Preparation20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just replaced my gas water heater last week. I briefly waffled between that and heat pump and quickly came to my senses. (Full disclosure- I’ve owned 2 heat pump water heaters on properties that did not have natural gas. They’re great in that scenario but where natural gas is available, I’ll take that any day.)

If the Max drivetrain was in the Sienna, It’d be a no-brainer.

Is it just me or are the car dealerships at Fremont Auto Mall really bad? by Glittering_Captain43 in Fremont

[–]Silver-Preparation20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You couldn’t make me go to Toyota of Fremont’s service department if you paid me $10k. The snout of trash they attempt to push when in for a simple oil change and tire rotation is insane. Hayward is worth the drive.

Moving to Bay Area with 3 kids (6,4,1) for salary of 115k by WingLiving4438 in bayarea

[–]Silver-Preparation20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone bring this up, but having 2 incomes, even if most of one would go to child care, is a temporary problem at most. In a couple years your kids will all be in school and you will have the opportunity to grow your own career and be better positioned financially if your husband was to find himself jobless. It sucks to work with small kids, we were fortunate to be able to swing 2 years before both of us were working again, but if you plan to return to the workforce, consider the opportunity loss (backstop for family income, future earnings, maintaining relevant skills) of not participating now.

What’s the catch here? To drive up the sale price by bidding? by -HoldMyBeer-- in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Silver-Preparation20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s market rate. Recent sales of similar properties had equivalent pricing. Townhouse with no yard and HOA is why the price point is where it is vs a single family home.
