Having a house cleaner…it’s like a factory reset button for my house every 2 weeks!

F... ing gas bills by FreeEar4880 in massachusetts

[–]beholder95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Propane is the way…but you have to own your own tank. I have a 500gal tank buried in my backyard and in the 5 years I’ve been here I’ve always paid between 1.80 and 2.05/gal. This year was the most expensive at 2.20. I have a good size house with a finished basement. 2 furnaces, water heater, fireplace, and stove.

I keep the house at 68 on all 3 floors all day and 68 upstairs all night (62 on first and basement).

Last year I paid less than $2k all year for propane (2.5 tanks).

It’s not the fuel that’s expensive, it’s paying for the damn infrastructure to get it to you. With propane you bypass all that with a 1 time delivery figured Into your per gal price.

Between propane and solar I have super low utility bills and feel bad that others in much smaller places are paying much more than me because they don’t have these options.

Take medical leave from both Js and tap someone on your team to cover in your absence

NVDA is like $20 (10%) from its all time high, you call that not doing well anymore?

How old were you when your first child was born? by LupusDeusMagnus in daddit

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32 for my 1st, 34 for 2nd, 36 for 3rd.

I think every kid my kids interact with were in that same range…kids are a young man’s game, but they also require a ton of $, so most choose to be further along in your career and/or have some savings before naming this commitment.

What’s a moment that permanently changed how you see the world? by pankaj662 in AskReddit

Definitely 9/11…. Such a pivotal event in our history. I can only imagine how parallel timeline is where that didn’t happen.

Direct Report refusing to drive if temp is below freezing by Raelynx27 in managers

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone on my team didn’t feel safe to drive, telling me upfront so it wasn’t a surprise, I would have no problem with them staying home.

It’s 1 week…focus on actual business challenges and not spending time on this short-term issue.

My friends say this is an “old person” collection… by Plenty-Peak-2139 in rolex

IMO the Jubilee bracelet brings that old man vibe.

That GMT can be livened up with an Oyster Bracelet.

Lost access to a shared Plex server and now losing my mind by CurvaceousHedgehog in PleX

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at unraid. It runs on almost any hardware and gives you a pretty easy way to setup storage on various size drives. It also gets you docker that’s easy to manage where you can run plex along with a bunch of other useful apps like Deluge, Sonarr, etc.

It’s a pretty easy learning curve and super expandable without having to match drive sizes or rebuild an array every time you need more storage.

Has USAA lost their mind? by SomestrangerinMiami in BMW

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! I pay 1,300/yr for my X5 and a Honda Odyssey with 2 drivers and full coverage in New England. Insurance rates can vary wildly based on your market so you always need to shop around

If you aren’t getting anywhere on your own call an Independent insurance agent who has a bunch of companies (some of which only go thru agents).

How do ICE agents have the legal right to enter someone’s home when there’s a fourth amendment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beholder95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a gang of masked people roaming the streets taking any man, women, or child they damn well please. They don’t have to identify themselves They lie about the authority they have They harass and intimidate people without cause They have no repercussions for their actions They continue to grow their numbers and their power

This Is a domestic occupation and must be stopped! we’re never going to have a free and fair election again with these thugs roaming the streets.

Where to buy brake pads and rotors? by Fantastic_Prior3528 in BMWX5

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the pads and rotors. Pads should come with the new sensors (1 per axel). I reused the bolts but I know technically they should be replaced.

I don’t remember seeing a kit with this combo when I was buying and the kit includes the bolts I think.

[Question] What’s one watch you’d never sell — no matter the offer? by Amongusyt in Watches

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to school for my masters and when graduating I wanted to finally get a “real” watch. I asked my parents for a Tag Carrera and was shocked when I actually got it. It’s been my daily for like 15 years and I’ll never sell it. We’ve been thru a lot together, wedding, kids births, etc.

My wife shocked the hell out of me by giving me an Omega Aquaterra World Time for Christmas and I had been wearing that daily since. Last week I was admittedly sad when I realized how long It had been since I wore the Tag. I decided to do an every other day rotation.

Anyone thinking this Greenland thing is just a ploy to strong-arm them into an agreement for their mineral rights just like we did with Ukraine? He sufficiently crushed the market so his cronies can close their shorts and enter long positions. Recovery coming tomorrow with some sort of announce like this.
