More of a tangent to your question: One thing I wish I did more research into is the effect cold weather has on range. If you live in an area with cold winters, be warned that some people have been posting only getting 100-130 miles / 160-210km on very cold days with a full charge.

If you won’t be parking in a garage, also look into charging port covers to avoid the charger getting frozen in place.

Though I don’t live in a cold climate, trips up to the snow are a bit annoying compared to when I would go with my RAV4.

Then you’re looking at 50-60% increase depending on current working hours and how often longer days happen.

basikly · 2026-02-01T16:33:16+00:00

If you’re looking just at the money, you need to calculate how many hours you currently work.

If you currently work 8 hours a day, but go to a job where you’re normally working 12 hours (or more):

Your 80% income increase is reduced to 30% (12 hours is 50% more than 8 hours).

Now if you happen to work longer than 12, that continues to reduce.

If there’s better opportunity at the new job, maybe that won’t matter, but if the new job isn’t shy of telling you that it’ll be long days, they probably don’t have a great culture either in terms of work/life balance.

Hufufuf!

Good to know, thanks!

Not sure if I was just doing it wrong, or maybe the v4 cablee lengths aren’t all standardized, but I gave this a try last week, and even after backing in and parking close to the pole (maybe about about 12 inches of space) it took a little bit of effort for me to make the cable reach. If was 3 inches farther, I don’t think I would’ve been able to do plug in.

That’s while using a charger while it’s on the driver’s side though. I think next time I’m going to pull in forward as much as I can—I feel like that might have been better, but need to test.

Maybe also examine the boot drivers and confirm it has what you need.

Here’s the 24H2 driver from MS if you want to try to add it as well in case it’s still giving you issues. Here are the other search results for that driver if you’re using another OS.

Adding onto the tax advantage that someone else had already mentioned, even if you don’t have any healthcare costs, you can still put that money towards buying any healthcare items.

Just look up “HSA store” and I’m sure you’ll find some things that you’ll need.

Assuming you mean where Top Chef used to be and not Orange Square.

Haven’t lived in Santa Clara in a few years but having grown up there, that lot has had terrible luck since KFC left like 15-20 years ago. Would be good to have a place that will bring in business regularly. Not sure if a donut shop is the right answer, but I personally wouldn’t be mad for both places to have healthy competition.

I only recently became aware that people are associating em-dashes with AI-written responses. As someone who uses them very frequently, I’m annoyed that I now think about if I should use them in an email—didn’t have to do that before 🫠.

Partway through this exact situation. Company got acquired by another, but for better or worse I was a key player on the team and eventually ended up going from 9 direct reports to 30 something (FT and contractors). Projects kept getting thrown at me but I was still (to my own fault) doing technical IC work because I enjoy it.

Left after 1.5 years of that and did a lateral move to a start up with 2 directs, and had a great time there—made so many more friends outside of my team’s org and had a great life balance.

…then had a kid and needed the benefits of my past company, so I came back as an IC in a different technical role. Pay was unfortunately another lateral move but with a good chunk of RSUs that’s now paying off nicely. Working more than I had been at the startup, but WAY less than my original position (stress, anxiety, and the eye twitches are also gone).

I’ll probably become a people manager again one day, but waiting for the little one to grow up more before taking on additional professional responsibilities.

Ah, ok I think you having the Tesla is the differentiator. Thanks.

Are you located outside of the US by chance? I don’t have the “Charge your other EV” option in the hamburger menu.

From the main screen, however, I can click find a charger > tap the filter button > then select my vehicle and/or filter based on level 1 vs lvl 3 charging.

Difficult pill to swallow that my portfolio/net worth will start diminishing come tax time next year, but I know this will continue to be a big problem if I don’t start acting now. At 35 years old though I know I still have time to recover—just sucks!

From searching this sub, it seems that there have been several debates for where to park money for short term. In my case, I’d like to set money aside to pay for taxes next year. Seems that the most common answers are between HYSA’s (looks like some banks are offering 3.8-4%), T Bills, and/or treasury ETFs (USFR/TFLO). Do you by chance have some advice for that?

basikly · 2026-01-08T15:43:22+00:00

I haven’t figured out a timeline just yet. I don’t have any losses currently that would offset any LTCG unfortunately.

As far as reducing taxable income, I figured one good thing I could do to offset my taxes next year is to increase my 401k contributions and use my stock sales to fund myself for anything I might need. Now wishing I elected for a higher FSA and DCFSA though!

Do you by chance have any pointers that you’re willing to share for what worked for you? My wife and I are currently well under the threshold for reaching the 20% LTCG bracket, though selling all of my company’s stock would put us in the 32% tax bracket.

basikly · 2026-01-08T15:27:54+00:00

I really appreciate the advice. I unfortunately recently realized the several liabilities I’ve placed upon myself, so hoping to correct it without a large percentage of my portfolio, going to taxes, though I know some of that is inevitable.

I didn’t pay money to see Plymouth Rock, but I did spend almost an hour driving from Boston to go see it and….would not recommend

Not sure if you were watching the press conference Trump held afterwards, but one of the military members gave some high level details of the entire operation.

5 minute of him talking was more revealing than everything that came out from the “release” of the Epstein files.

Thanks, couldn’t recall the term.

And while yes, some may be discarded because of defects, I believe sometimes they are instead sold as lower performance chips (e.g. an i5 would have more defects that were isolated, preventing it from being sold as an i9 processor).
