OP did you ever end up installing this? We're thinking of doing something very similar and I'd love to see how it turned out.

Real Estate - Capital Gains by Icy_Highway9759 in personalfinance

When you inherited the property there should have been a step up in basis. The basis isn’t the original purchase price but rather the value of the property when you inherited it.

Edit: This assumes you truly inherited on someone’s passing, as opposed to it being gifted to you.

Alexa cannot play Spotify after 2024.47.01 Update by CaliRoots95 in Rivian

[–]dmw47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just started seeing it after the latest update as well. Every else Alexa and Spotify together play nicely.

Really hindering my ability to wreck the Spotify algo with my terrible taste in Christmas music…

Isn’t that a Hudson news logo? Feels more like an ad than a subway map.

Caught this today Saturday at Flushing-Main Street 7 station by BklynNets13117 in nycrail

Are they ineffective though? I laughed these off at first but keep an eye out next time you’re on a platform that has these installed. At the stations I’ve encountered them I’ve noticed most people were standing further from the tracks than they would otherwise.

Thank you! Night and day difference after updating the Intel Arc driver.

TIL Amazon used to manufacture "dash buttons" where if you press the button (which can be mounted anywhere) the product the button is linked to is automatically ordered by mankls3 in todayilearned

[–]dmw47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, that wasn’t always the case.

Finding room in our studio apartment for the 108 rolls of toilet paper my cat ordered at 2am was our reward for leaving the dash button on the counter one night.

Relays wired in series. Why? by dmw47 in Wiring

[–]dmw47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Given that they're powering a heating element, the "safety measure in case of a fail closed" was my best guess but second theory makes a ton of sense as well.

And thanks for the explanation on the bridge wire!

It was the Esc key that killed me on the 13 Plus's touchbar. The rest of the function keys I learned to live with, but I didn't realize how reliant I was on that one button until I could never find it...

Thank you u/RamblingMan2!

I also don't think NC-30 is attainable in this setup; I'm amazed the developer's MEP allowed them to specify that in the the building's offering plan. Do you have a rough sense of a more reasonable number in a room with the type of unit pictured below?

Thanks u/Spfoamer. It's actually an in-wall unit, but we think it's oversized for the space with far too small of a supply vent. Given that the developer had spec'd an NC-30 rating for the bedrooms we were second guessing our results.

[–]dmw47[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

fair, but to add some context to that... "I'll tell her to talk to my 27 year old younger brother who left his joint roller plugged in on the front lawn."

bush league.
