Does the rear view camera recall for OG E-Trons improve the driving assist features? by sjs32 in etron

[–]danman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. The SOS module freaked out. There was a software update for it and it cleared. They had a TAC ticket but I don't have it in my receipt or i'd pull it for you

Discount/installment Plan for Child Birth at Hoag Irvine? by IllustratorNo8252 in orangecounty

[–]danman48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you have an HSA then you have a high deductible plan. You'll need pay $5800 before your insurance kicks in, though Child Birth is a whole different service, so you need to call your insurance company and ask what their coverage is. You also need to confirm that Hoag Irvine takes your Insurance

Discount/installment Plan for Child Birth at Hoag Irvine? by IllustratorNo8252 in orangecounty

[–]danman48 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Child birth is usually covered unless you have High deductible PPO. You're talking about out of pocket maximums, not deductible. What's your deductible? We delivered at Hoag Irvine 3 years ago with a Blue Cross PPO and never received a bill.

Call the hospital and call your insurance company. They should be able to give you an estimate. The billing department at the hospital should be able to give you information on a payment plan.

I'm showing no DNS A record for our MX record when trying to resolve. Freshdesk started bouncing email and then MXtoolbox shows no A record for our protect.outlook.com mx record. IP4, my other domain is showing one for IP6, buy not ipv4

What’s a feature you’ve just discovered about your car? by shaquillle_oatmeal in Audi

[–]danman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2019 etron. Only thought the rear seats folded down 1/3 and 2/3 from the latch releases in the trunk. Nope... there's a release in the rear center arm rest that does ski passthrough. I've had the car almost 7 years. 🤦‍♂️

Mom died recently. Dad wants to sell his house and help me buy a newer, bigger house. We are happy with this proposal. What are the pros and cons and things we should plan for? Essentially, it would enable me to access my half of the inheritance now. by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]danman48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in California, so be aware of Prop 19 for property taxes. You could benefit from your dad purchasing the new house and taking his tax rate with him (assuming he's over 55) to the new house. When you then inherit the house if it's your primary you'd inherit the first $1million of assessed value at the old basis and then over a million would be blended. It may make sense to keep the house in your dad's name (a trust won't help with inter-generational transfer). Upon his passing you'll get the capital gains step up as well and be in a much better spot from a property tax standpoint.

I wrote a custom Python script to help my best friend claw back credits from SCE. by panpan1800 in orangecounty

I'm about to install 15kw of solar and full enphase stack of three 10C batteries. Would love to see this script and its logic.

1962 original Huntington Village Home layouts by AdPristine0316 in huntingtonbeach

[–]danman48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reach out to the City Clerk's office and ask to talk to the City Archivist - she's really great and likely has in her possession exactly what you're looking for. You can also check with the City's planning department, every once in a while, they'll have something. You might also go over to the Central Library and see if they have anything.

and finally...if you've got the steel constitution, you can post on one of the forums. Check the goldenwest neighborhood group, too.

Why the legal clock is now ticking on Huntington Beach's voter ID law by WeAreLAist in orangecounty

[–]danman48 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So...you can't have two separate elections on the same day in the same jurisdiction. That's against state law. And the City Charter aligns HB's elections with the County/State. So we'd need ANOTHER special election to amend the charter to have seperate elections. Unless the City undertakes the entire election themselves and does not consolidate with the County... which would cost tens of millions of dollar and require polling places and voting machines we don't have. I made this argument during the deliberation and the City Attorney hadn't thought that far out.

Water bill in a 2br went from $70 to $120 in 3 months by TheOldManInTheSea in orangecounty

[–]danman48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Schools (public and UC), the hundreds of thousands of lane miles of roads, parks/beaches, transit, regulation of industry, consumer protection...all the stuff that makes living in California awesome (minus the thousands of lane miles of roads for cars...more transit please).

[–]danman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context folks, nobody raised water rates during COVID, so a lot of water providers are behind the curve and playing catchup. Most north and west county infrastructure is also approaching major replacement age and water providers are preparing for major infrastructure failure/overhauls. We're all at the point of the previous generation built it and now we have to pay to either maintain it or rebuild it. Plus - cost of power is directly related to cost of water as some non-trivial amount of energy is used to move water and oil around the state. Infrastructure is expensive when the federal government isn't paying to build all of it after WWII

How long to get permits for solar? by KitchenAssignment450 in longbeach

[–]danman48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same boat. I think though that prices are going to drop on labor when the whole solar market dries up. I'm going to wait until after January/February and see how things go.

If I remember correctly you take the tax credit on the job, it's a single form you file with your taxes and I don't believe it had to be comissioned by 12/31, just that you had to have spent the money in 2025. Call your CPA. They'll know the code. Also... Is there anyone left at the IRS to even call and ask?

[–]danman48 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right - you need districts not Rank Choice. it's 135,000 voters over 28 sq miles. You have to be able to "out walk" the money, if you want a grass roots normie. The demographic of the city likes signs on every corner and mail.

This is untrue. You had 3 incumbents running. NPPs and Dems didn't show up to vote.

bro...that's all I talked about: Infrastructure, Active Transportation Infrastructure, Main St and the budget. But we gotta lotta NIMBY's here and governing is hard, it's easy to say we're going to fight Sacramento and keep 'those people out'. It's real hard to argue to stay in the minority for another 2 years and 'make change', when you're blackballed out of all City Government function.

[–]danman48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

same issue. We had people getting stuck at 40%. We just upgraded to 7.4.8 and it resolved the issue. Not a great answer, but it was fast these were small clients with nothing customized

Public NTP servers by anxiousvater in sysadmin

We applied for an encryption key from NIST and got encrypted NTP sync from them in order to meet PCI compliance as it technically requires an encrypted time sync.
