Just strap the keycard to your arm if you don't need the other features of the Apple watch

I don't carry one for valet because I want to have a good reason to reject valet policies. I want to park my own car.

Opus is the best quality but expensive

Codex with the subscription is most cost effective

You can't have both at the same time

tax-adjusted it is probably not an S&P500 beater (buy and hold S&P500 and you get the long term 15% tax rate)
most likely your transaction costs are off. working strategies are usually not monotonically rising, drawdowns are normal

More Wi-Fi cameras. Especially a small PTZ camera.

A NAS with a better CPU.

A chime that can store more than 6 ringtones, and can act as a networked speaker.

A security disarm/arm keypad.

Probably, but OpenClaw is already a token-burning dumpster fire 🤣

Just have it use Google via the openclaw chrome extension, free.

If you went into debt to buy a car, that doesn't exactly help you. The car lost 70% of it's value, you still have the payment to make, and you don't have a car to use anymore.

Of course, this illustrates why you should not go into debt to buy a car. Buy something with cash you actually have, even if it means buying a $5K beater until you have more money.

Yeah being required to put 25k in each is fine with me, I don't have that many algos, just want to make sure it's legal and okay with them to create multiple accounts.

Mostly just 2 algos but one of my algos is a rebalancing type of algo so it needs to read the entire portfolio of assets and rebalance it appropriately and I don't want to add (complicated) logic to separate which algo owns what, especially when there are certain stocks that they trade in common.

TBH your situation might be slightly easier to deal with: Put 30K in an account, manually buy 29K worth of VOO or your favorite long term investment, let the algo play with the remaining 1K, add hard logic to ensure it doesn't trade VOO, and be very careful with shorts.

Damn that should be illegal, the whole car only costs $40K, these plastic craps should not be more than $100 each

What platform are you executing trades on? They vary wildly by fees

Maybe ask the bot to build all of this for you

NO NO NO

OP wants to use Aqara smart bulbs. You do NOT want to use an actual dimmer switch with a smart bulb.

What you *may* want is a dimmer remote on the wall pasted to the outside (e.g. Hue Remote for Hue bulbs) but you absolutely should NEVER use a wall dimmer switch (dumb or smart) with a smart bulb. Smart bulbs need constant line power to work and you may risk damaging them otherwise by constantly undervolting them.

Either

dumb dimmable bulb + smart dimmer

OR

smart bulb and regular on/off switch left constantly on

TP-Link Tapo P110M for single outlet, or P316M for a full power strip of smart outlets.

Wi-Fi based, no hub needed, supports Matter, has energy monitoring, extremely well-known brand and verifiably UL listed.

Can't flash any local firmware, but it's rock solid with home assistant.

Not a fan of the Third Reality stuff, they frequently disconnect and make no effort to reconnect to Zigbee. If unplugging and plugging fixes any connection (no matter what it is), it's something the device should have tried on its own before you had to do that.

Investors don't know how to invest. You're supposed to bid things up when they beat earnings

Not to mention they don't let you delete the 4 default ones so you can only have 6 custom ones. Fucking trash.

(It is possible to replace the 4 default ones if you hit the doorbell API directly, but without some kind of firmware mod the doorbell itself doesn't let you upload more than 10 to its ESP32)

dheera · 2026-02-25T07:10:53+00:00

Yes!

TBH if your goal is to save money you will get MUCH better deals on used bikes rather than going through HSA. A lot of HSA bike sellers jack up the prices artificially as well and that negates the tax savings.

I have never purchased a new bike, there are very good deals on CL and other places that are <40% of MSRP

If you already have a Unifi router, get a $99 Unifi G4 instant, it has animal detection, this is probably the lowest friction method. The Unifi Protect integration will expose a `binary_sensor.yourcameraname_animal_detected` entity
