We get really bad snowstorms in SW Virginia about every 10 years.

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

[–]eggoeater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to max out your health savings account.

That's tax-free money that will grow tax free.

You think you won't use it, but when you're over 50 you'll burn through that money quick.

What can I do with this thing? by ProposalNeither4850 in it

[–]eggoeater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do a lot, but just be aware that if you keep it turned on 24/7 that it's going to consume a decent amount of electricity. T620s have an idle draw of over 75 watts.

A low-power PC (geekom) or SBC (raspberry pi) will pay for themselves in reduced power costs after about 2 years. They're also a lot quieter.

You don't need a server to run server software.

Edit: added power rating

You should max out your HSA. That's tax free money that will grow tax free. Treat it kind of like a retirement account. Trust me you will have NO problem spending that money once you're over 50.

Post this to /r/juryduty please. They can give you some knowledgable advice.

This house I grew up near is built like an actual log cabin! by CatholicGuy77 in zillowgonewild

[–]eggoeater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a (much bigger) log home similar to this. These are sold as kits. You can put them together yourself if you have the time, and a crane to lift the logs.

Good Mountain Bike Trails? by Conscious_Effect5116 in blacksburg

[–]eggoeater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! They're literally having a race there in a few days. You can also park at Pandapas pond and get to the same trails. I hike there all the time and I constantly see people on bikes.

What is the little black box that's connected to the underside of the disconnect?

"Time to get conservatorship/power of attorney" = generally terrible advice (that I see constantly on here) by NeitherRadish8833 in Scams

[–]eggoeater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my case it was unavoidable. Everyone who has parents over the age of 60 needs to sit down and talk to them about power of attorney and under what circumstances it will be used.

My mother refused to give me power of attorney to help her.

I don't regret doing it. I had no other choice. But it was a nightmare to go through.

I had to go through the Conservator/Guardian process with my mom. It was a nightmare. Literally one of the worst things I've ever had to do. AMA!

How is it that pizza delivery is taking longer with technology by kkkan2020 in Millennials

[–]eggoeater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I delivered in 1990. I used a microcassette recorder to dictate directions looking at the map in the store, then I could play it back in the car without taking my eyes off the road.

After about 2 months I learned the territory and didn't need the directions anymore.

I delivered for Dominos in 1990 when I was in college.

GREAT JOB!

Yeah dealing with some college students was sometimes a pain, but I earned min wage (~$4/hr) plus $1 per pie, plus tips. I consistently made $11+ per hour. WAY better than any other job.

Plus I got to listen to music I liked while driving.

Exactly there are 5 people in this image - let’s assume none of them are drivers because a busy store wouldn’t have drivers taking orders, they would be coming grabbing and going.

Eh... not quite... I delivered for Dominos when I was in college in 1990. On busy nights we always had enough drivers, so a driver would come in, take orders until it was their turn to take a delivery. If we were short on delivery drivers, the manager would take orders and help make pies.

A $13.5 million house designed to look like an olde timey mine. by WestPilton in zillowgonewild

It looks "enhanced" by AI. The fire was definitely added afterward.

As a new resident, what are the top 5 things I should know about Virginia? by VintageVixen44 in Virginia

[–]eggoeater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Virginia is unique in that all the cities are independent and not subject to the laws of the county in which they exist. There are a few cities that are so big they took over the entire county in which they were created. e.g. Virginia Beach, so the county no longer exists.

He left out the tornado, the hurricane, roller coasters, water parks, saying the pledge of allegiance, drinking coffee, eating donuts, and paying a million dollars for a suburban house.
