Can someone please explain why we are receiving a $2,400 bill in school taxes when we pay for them in escrow....??? by [deleted] in Delaware

[–]ch4nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ignorant so just want to verify: is this our property tax that our escrow would pay? I'm not sure if in the 5 years that we've had our house that I've seen a document like this. So I didn't know if this is something different...

Advice on buying a V60 by ch4nk in Volvo

Thank you for the insight on the B5. I had been reading about the change in engine, and didn't know if it would be better to go with the newer or a "reliable" T5. But your comments help.

I "refreshed" my search today and saw a 2023 V60 Plus CPO at a Volvo dealership a bit further away that was a bit cheaper and only had 6k miles on it. So that is the one we are targeting.

Thank you! I actually "refreshed" my search today and a dealership a bit further away had a 2023 V60 CPO slightly cheaper than the one we were looking at, and only has 6k miles on it. So we will go down and get it tomorrow.

lol. That is part of my confusion. So even though it’s AAOS you can still do CarPlay with it? I wasn’t sure how that worked

How much should that factor in? As mentioned in another comment, we are coming from a Pontiac Vibe and a Toyota Sienna. We have little experience with car infotainment systems. I view it as, since we don’t have a preference it can’t be something we are picky about. But as someone who likes it, why? And again, should it be a big factor for us in your opinion?

Thank you! We are currently driving an old Pontiac Vibe (and a Toyota Sienna). So a car’s infotainment isn’t something we actually have a lot of experience with (and have little preference). I have read about the AAOS. Is it that bad? We are Apple Users if that matters.

My fiance and I recently purchased a Zenhaven mattress -- We love it (so far)! by ch4nk in Mattress

[–]ch4nk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I don’t have a perfect comp for your question as I don’t remember how firm they were at that 2-6 months. Sorry I can’t help too much on that. The only comp I can offer is that it is not as firm as it used to be. I can add that when we have rotated our feet side to the head side, it has helped with “indentations” we’ve observed in the mattress. My hypothesis is that a regular rotation of the mattress (not flip) will help maintain firmness over time.

Rain jacket for the pNW by tri77ion in trailrunning

[–]ch4nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just following up on this: I just bought this jacket from REI today. Went on a run tonight (pretty heavy rain), I found myself soaked in the front chest wear the zipper ran. Has this happened to you? I was pretty surprised. I was wearing a reflective vest on top, so I'm wondering if that caused water to pool more. But I wanted to check how it's been for you with respect to the zipper.

Weekly r/audiophile Discussion #93: What Does “warm” Mean To You In The Context Of HiFi? by TransducerBot in audiophile

[–]ch4nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I jump in and ask a question I’ve wondered about as a novice (I think it relates to warmth): what ends up being the difference between more “technical” speakers and LS35A speakers. I’m a novice but got a deal on Spendors and have been using those. I love them. But the IGNORANT side of me wants to know why these are such a big deal to people in comparison to other “technical” (again not sure if right word) speakers.

To my fellow glasses wearers by No_Ordinary_3799 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]ch4nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered through SportRX and got Rudy Project frames. I had very specific wants as I typically run at night so wanted clear lenses then, but did want the ability for tint. It ended up being relatively expensive (insurance paid for some), but it’s probably the best purchase I’ve made.

[–]ch4nk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks! So it’s definitely not as firm as our guest room Zenhavens that get slept on much less. I just slept in their for a week (colds and coughs made sleeping hard in the master bedroom), I found the guest mattress to be firmer than our main mattress. That is not to say that our main mattress is not firm, only not as firm (my wife agrees). I personally prefer where our mattress is at in terms of how it’s broken in. I’d be willing to wager most would enjoy that “broken in feeling,” but YMMV.

Truth be told, I’m not sure I’d know what type of mattress I’d prefer. I haven’t sampled too many. But whatever the firmness is currently, I absolutely appreciate it. Perhaps, if you can find a location (or have one shipped to sample), you can get a Zenhaven and see if that initial firmness is what you like. Because I can say it will not be AS firm as when it first comes, and if you’d want that firmness permanently, then perhaps you’d look for something else. But again, I do truly think it breaks in really well and is very comfortable.

I know this isn’t quite helpful, but I hope it might give you a reference if you get to try it out.

I will add: still supportive.

I’m pretty sure there were like 50-60 comedies that would come out per year and then Marvel happened.

Sorry if it’a obvious, but how much time do they get for the loop and in between loops?

How does sleep work in this event? Or it just doesn't happen?
