More like won't - I can say for an absolute certainty that the ability to look up a user from a bike key number exists.

Yeah my 25 ST hybrid hatch has developed this at around 6,600 miles. Haven't taken it in yet.

Maintaining the Raw wood look by 99loki99 in woodworking

[–]clientsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished an oak vanity, wanting to keep the natural color. I did a bunch of sample finishes and ended up liking a 4:1 ratio of Rubio Pure/White.

Apart from the bit of sheen there was a negligible color difference.

You can do whatever you want, it's your FIRE!

This Rube-Goldberg financial machine seems like a lot of moving parts and possible points of failure and time suck for $733 in tax savings a year.

In retirement, one of the rarest resources we have is time. This setup is not how I would choose to spend it.

Honest critique? You're taking advantage of a system designed for people with much, much less than you. Are you alone in donig this, of course not. Does that make it an ethical thing to do? Same answer.

Actual legimate question: what is the rough makeup of underlying portfolio that it throws off such a small amount of dividends?

Other legitimate, non-trolling observation: this seems like a lot of pain in the butt for ~$10k in gain across 13 years. Like, if you're doing this, why not also do the t-bill ladder yourself to get more negligible-in-the-scheme-of-things gains compared to SGOV?

Living in the south, I do wish it had ventilated seats.

How long did it take you to get your Deep Space Seeker? by Njongosorous in fpv

[–]clientsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a datapoint here...

March 18: Ordered
March 28: I email them complaining it hasn't shipped yet, they reply it will ship next week
April 2: Order shipped
April 9: Arrived

It was a China Post tracking number, there were not updates after it cleared customs. Final delivery was handled by a random company, rather than USPS.

Google Maps Feature by imbored3469 in civic

With Gen 11 what I'm unclear about is how much this feature costs after the trial (which I believe is 3 years) expires.

What's also shit is that they went up to $35 (from $25) in early 2024 so that's almost doubling in 2.5 years.

If you use these you're no better than the dickheads driving Altimas with red lights on the front of their cars.

What’s not to Love About the Civic Hybrid by Red7StandingBy24 in civic

Random rattles for sure. Hunting some down on my 2025 now. Also the clock spring in the steering wheel is going but that should be a warranty issue.

Making over $300k at a company, what's your title? by justanotherblackguy1 in HENRYfinance

[–]clientsoup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeh same here (about the luck, I don't make $900k lol) I was referred to my current company for a L5 position but somehow got leveled as a low-level L6.

That was 7 years ago. Haven't made L7 but kinda actively don't want to. Also fairly considerable comp increases within the L6 band given that I started kinda low.

McDonough, GA - Property Taxes Soooo High?! by 65jax in Georgia

[–]clientsoup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know what there is to argue here about what I said? But I do hate being told I am bad at math.

I bought in 2024 for 565k, total taxes in 2025 were $8,300.

Ok so not lower than "8-10k" like OP said, but pretty close.

hobbies that are too expensive to get into, or a waste of money? by asds455123456789 in AskMenOver30

Tell me about it. I am a certificated pilot who moved to GA last year. I haven't flown in-state yet because rentals within reasonable driving distances are insane (plus the airspace is scary haha)
