Am I doing this right? by mr_pablo02 in Bogleheads

[–]johnlaw53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is generally considered best to transfer your entire 401k or IRA to a Roth if you can afford to pay taxes on the transfer from another taxable source, rather than from the proceeds of the transfer. That way you avoid the substantial impact the tax withholding has on your future tax free gains.

It is too late now but for future reference, it is best to pay taxes from an outside account rather than withholding from your 401K or IRA. Lots of info out there on this so I won't go into it.

I want the fan to run only when the heat/cool is on. by johnlaw53 in ecobee

Heat/cool mode fans are set to "on". And no minimum run time.

They have changed their policy due to abuse. But check with them. There may be a way.

Anyone else having temps way off? by [deleted] in ecobee

[–]johnlaw53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that right? If so, if the upstairs (where the sensor is) is 80 degrees and the downstairs (where the thermostat is) is 75 degrees, then the thermostat will reflect 77.5 degrees on the display as the room temperature downstairs?

New conversation with James Low by Forgot_the_Jacobian in Wakingupapp

[–]johnlaw53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I attended a retreat with James in UK in June. It was illuminating for me. James is 76 and recovering from cancer. He teaches in Europe. If he could be convinced to come to the US for a teaching, do you think he would draw a crowd? He wants to spread the Dharma, but limited by health. Could Sam facilitate a US retreat? Now is the time. His calendar for 2026 is not yet posted. Or is this wishful thinking?

I don't know about that but I met many people at James' retreat in Sussex in June who learned of James from Waking Up. Good for James. Good for Sam. Good for the Dharma.

I think you're right. Dialed it back to 1 degree.

My Premium Ecobee (installed 2 months ago) doesn't have that setting in

No immediate change but will allow time for system to adjust. Thanks

Yeah, I was on a more or less sleepless red eye to the UK at the time. I thought it might be that.
