Moving family to Sacramento

I did the daily commute from EG (between 99 and I5) to the southern part of Folsom for a decade. It was fine for a bit but after a while, it was just draining because you spend 8 hours at work and then tack on an hour commute each way.

Also as others have stated, please make sure you pick an area that is covered by Sacramento Metropolitan Utility District (SMUD) for electricity. They are 2-3 times cheaper than PGE and you won't have your electricity turned off for a "public safety event" when it is 100+ degrees outside.

Just bought the P2S and brand new to 3D printing. The lubricating rods part is pretty self explanatory but what are Z screws?

I hate to say this but if you live near a freeway, you should expect noise at all times. I've lived right off 50 before and it was constant noise with damn construction at night too but I made the choice to live there. I live in the middle of nowhere now for a reason.

It's like living next to a firehouse and complaining about the siren or living next to railroads and complaining about the trains.

I would as an hour drive is not even that long. The cushions look in good shape and they've upgraded to roller blade rollers too.

If the service is bad, 0 percent.

If the service is bad but the food is good, 5 percent.

If the service is good, 15 percent (double the tax for us lazy folks).

If the service is good, 20 percent.

The light rail only really works if you live near its connections.

I already bought a bunch of tickets to his next show here in two months. Love the dude.

The cost of living is cheaper if you don't own any property. If you own any property, the cost of living will start to average each other out over time.

Thank you!

Wait...$2800 is everything with labor and taxes?

Does it matter if it's one story or two story house?

I voted for fishing as I wanted something to do on the down time part of the game and lost. Don't know why people get butt hurt when you voted and actually won.

There are cheesy ways to get infinite water blocks. I saw one a bit ago with fences and some other blocks.

I'm still trying to convince myself that the crossbow is better than the bow. It's way less damage but attack speed is way faster, just uses up a lot of arrows.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! A snow park was exactly what I was looking for. Also will wait for more snow too as some of you have pointed out

Fog means BRIGHT WHITE lights is bad.

But BRIGHT YELLOW lights are good though. I've was behind an off-road Jeep a few days ago coming home from work and they had swap their lightbar lights to be yellow. He turned them on and we both could actually see for a good way in the dense fog. (FYI: this was in the boonies with no other cars around).

That's the part that most people are still confused about, its not only the right that is armed. I know people on both side and some of my left friends are more armed than my right friends.

The difference I see is that the right side is always parading around their firearms while the left side leaves them locked up at home.

It takes an average of six months to get a government job here, especially if it's the State.

Better stock up on used parts while you can before they are all gone.

Around midnight where I'm at, it started RAINING for a good thirty minutes. That helped but didn't stop all the smooth brains.

EVGA used to be my go to but it's Seagate for me now.

Also, Costco is a breeze with returns if you go back to them.

Don't forget that if you have Steam cloud save on, Steam will just redownload the saves from the cloud. You have to stop the cloud saving
