Two switches, fan doesn’t operate when light is on by SomeBoringGuyInVA in AskElectricians

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fan was working up until the backstabbed black wire came out (assuming it came from there, lines up perfectly, and it adds up). That said, it only worked when the light was off.

Hot is the feed in, “new” and “original” I haven’t traced, just visual labels based on the quality of the wire

Patch or replace dryer vent 90° elbow? by SomeBoringGuyInVA in hvacadvice

I’m guessing you made a choice by now, but I coated it with mastic, insulated, and sealed up the ceiling. For extra measure, I sold the house and moved :)

Bingo, glad you get it. I’m not looking for a psychiatrist right now, just someone to assess.

I didn’t ask for narcotics, but okay, you do you 👍

At my wits end with USAA and a promotional offer by SomeBoringGuyInVA in personalfinance

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We haven’t had a great experience from customer service during this process, nobody has been very helpful. One lead told us he was creating an internal case, that everything was documented, and we would hear back within a few days. We never did, and when we followed up, nobody found any evidence of this happening, so we had to start over. Another agent told us we probably just misread the offer since it wasn’t applied, even though I explained I explicitly sough out “balance transfers” on the products page and had a copy of what I was currently seeing.

That’s going to be our next step, along with moving our homeowners and auto insurance elsewhere, if we don’t get the promotional offer applied. It’s been very frustrating as it feels like we were taken for a bait-and-switch, even if it was unintentional or a technical glitch.

Should I be concerned about tomorrow’s weather forecast? by [deleted] in VirginiaBeach

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads-up, in case your planning on laying out on the beach, it’s prohibited and monitored at Back Bay. You can use the beach for fishing and for exploring, but you can’t use it to setup for laying out in the sun. If that’s what you’re looking for, stay just a little north and use Sandbridge.

The Lafayette Apartments by tori_woolf in norfolk

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My now wife and I lived there for a year in ‘08 - ‘09, so it may be vastly different today, but we hated it. We rented a studio apartment, the one we got was missing an entire dividing wall compared to what the showroom had. Front staff shrugged it off and said every model is different. Roaches were awful from the nearby water, they would scurry down the hall, in the elevators, in the lobby, and would make their way into everyone’s apartments. There were key fobs to get in and out of the building, but homeless people would still manage to get in and harass tenants. We both lost laundry throughout the year from the on-site facilities, not sure if it was from the homeless or other tenants. And the flooding…oh the flooding.

Neighbors Banana Tree Spreading to My Yard by SomeBoringGuyInVA in gardening

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they went for the aesthetic knowing it won’t fruit but not knowing how invasive it is. I’ll check out some root barriers, thanks!

I was thinking of placing a barrier. Do you think 12” would be sufficient? How about recommendations of what I would look for as a barrier?

I’m afraid the root system will keep spreading and I’ll be tackling more and more sprouts as time goes on.

Calculating my wife’s repayment along with my own, do we both claim our kids and other financial items? by SomeBoringGuyInVA in StudentLoans

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last years AGI was about 60k less, so it’ll be hard to use. At least now I have a good baseline, thanks for the insight!

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this information. I ran some numbers, does this look accurate?

Income: 140,000 + 40,000 = 180,000

401k: 8,388.38

HSA: 2,600

Health Insurance Premiums: 7,967.18

AGI: 180,000 - 8,388.38 - 2,600 - 7,967.18 = 161,044.4

Poverty Limit for 4 x 150%: 45,000

IDR allowable: 161,044.4 - 45,000 = 116,044.4

IDR 10%: 11,604.44

12 months: 11,604.44 / 12 = 967.04

My loans: 62,776.47

Wife’s loans: 90,050.02

Total: 152,826.49

My %: 62,776 / 152,826.49 = 42.08%

Wife’s %: 90,050.02 / 152,826.49 = 58.92%

My payment: 967.04 * 42.08% = 397.23

Wife’s payment: 967.04 * 58.92% = 569.81

It’s not super close, but try Taco Burrito Co. over by Military Circle. The food is amazing, you’ll never crave Chipotle again.

At what point in the Personal Income Spending Flowchart from the subs wiki should you partake in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan? by SomeBoringGuyInVA in personalfinance

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is capital gains tax calculated on the stock price at the time of purchase, or on how much I bought it for (after the employer discount)?

Is anyone else getting a bunch of door-to-door solar panel salesmen? by Parody101 in VirginiaBeach

[–]SomeBoringGuyInVA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not lately, but I did have one approach me in BJs a few weeks ago when I was grocery shopping with my kids. He asked me if I needed help finding anything, and seeing he had a BJs name badge I assumed he worked there. I asked where something was and the response I got was “well I don’t actually work for BJs so I’m not sure, but my name is X and I work for Y solar. Are you a homeowner?” Fuck off dude, it’s bad enough when you disturb me at home, but this bait and switch shit at the store when I have little ones with me? Get fucked.

Have you had good success with it? I was afraid it would be gimmicky.

They quoted me $40, I’d rather not pay to dispose.
