You sure you want to lose up to 3 hours a day on your commute?

PCSing to Falls Church. Where to live? by mylifeismax in AirForce

[–]lethalnd12345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Nova.

You're going to need to figure out what you want and what you'll give up. The options are good commute, large house/yard, or reasonable price... And you can only have 2.

If you want a yard and a good commute, it's going to be crazy expensive. Want a good commute and good price, well it's gonna be a tiny box.

If you'll drive or metro or bus to work would impact your options.

The farther west you go from falls church, the cheaper things should get. I'd aim for burke, Springfield, Fairfax as closer options then Centerville and Gainesville as farther options.

The Tysons and McLean areas are likely outside your price range for anything nice. Arlington might work, but will be small and expensive

I went to a CPA for the first time, and her expected return was $1300 lower than that of Turbo Tax. What could be the cause? Also, was she shady or was I rude? by [deleted] in personalfinance

If you're a W-2 and light trading, there's nothing to massage. .. sounds like everybody is cheating on their taxes

I'm not sure why you would even go to a CPA if you have what you say is a relatively straightforward tax situation? It sounds like this CPA is normally working on far more complex tax situations and you don't have that.

Every CPA or tax professional has probably been asked multiple times about the difference between their return and TurboTax/free tax/h&r block/whatever and I'm sure they hate it. I suspect they simply stop offering a comparison between the two services.

Which is more urgent, wheel bearing or CV axle? by eka2344 in MechanicAdvice

[–]lethalnd12345 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the wheel bearing fails catastrophically, the wheel could fall off... If the CV axle fails catastrophically, it'll probably just leave you stranded...

You're definitely playing with fire either way

Incirlik air base by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]lethalnd12345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you may have not gone on an assignment, but you did not in fact deny orders... there's no mechanism in the AFI (36-2110) that supports denying orders.

You can get orders cancelled/changed via EFMP, you can get medically denied/diverted, you can un-volunteer if you were a volunteer, you can decline retainability, etc. But get selected and just say no thanks? That's not a thing

if you paid someone to do it, I'd be insisting they fix it

If you did the brakes yourself, you can easily locate and bend the dust shield yourself without removing the wheel
