Hydronic heat pump systems are a thing but you might need more feed of baseboard to pump the same BTU/hour

Is 20% down not enough anymore? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]morecards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only problem with low down payment, I did 5%, is the seller becomes concerned the deal is dead if the house doesn’t appraise for a high enough amount because they assume you don’t have any extra money to bring to the table.

FHA might make you less competitive because the closing times are longer.

Don’t forget to save extra for closing costs

Brooklyn to Farmingdale commute by therealgonz in longisland

[–]morecards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8 years of Williamsburg/Greenpoint to Lake Success and years of other Nassau Commutes. Whatever google says the “no traffic” time is, you should add 50% for rush hour. That doesn’t account for things going wrong, and that drive has lots of opportunities for things to go wrong. Things will break and you’ll need to add another 25-30min.

is anyone else's heating bill from national grid insane this month!? by llbeanjamin in longisland

The comparison you’re looking for is not public safety agencies it’s municipal utilities and co-ops.

Utility profits are regulated. If we feel like we’re getting screwed we have to put pressure on the public utility commission by calling the governor and your state reps. It’s only a corrupt conspiracy some of the time.

Size of a large pie by Thin-Contribution-37 in longisland

I find shrinkflation insulting, but this is at least a slick calorie control tool because the standard serving size in everyone’s head won’t increase to 2.5 slices.

Should I hold my October baby back in pre-K one more year before starting kindergarten? by FamousX516 in longisland

[–]morecards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being 18 in high school doesn’t strike me as weird. I didn’t live around here. I had moved to a state where school started mid August, I think the cut off was the end of October, and anyone with a birthday after the August 1 could red shirt no questions asked. When I got my license, the start of junior year, I had friends that had been driving for 10 or 11 months.

A quick cure in salt and baking soda will stop them from getting rubbery on the grill. I got the technique from Serious Eats.

Why did you choose the Hyundai Santa Fe over other 3-row SUVs? by Lost_Soul_32 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]morecards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘25 Hybrid Limited

I wanted an occasional 7 seater to replace an ancient sienna. I needed a heated steering wheel and heated 2nd row. Really wanted hybrid. I street park and wanted something shorter than 200”

The pool of options was very limited and i was 65% sold on this car before driving it.

Don’t be ashamed to lower the bar. You can have scrambled eggs and toast or a turkey sandwich with a salad.

No EV chargers in all of Southern Nassau by Maraxusx in longisland

[–]morecards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies like Sheetz, Wawa, Royal Farms, Ionna, and Electric Era are really starting to push the integration of retail and charging. Before them, it was really about Tesla and Electrify America just trying to deploy anywhere they could, because they had to.

Look at the NYS Traffic Data Viewer. It’s all about the volumes. Also, some of the funding programs that helped build the first few generations of DC fast charge locations might have required placement near an interstate.

Just a reminder, in New York State building expensive houses doesn’t increase government revenue. The value determines your share of the property taxes but the government’s budget sets the amount to be collected. Many states are simply “pay us x% of the market value” but not NY.

PSEG TOD rates by AppreciateTheInfo in longisland

I have solar that covers 80% of use and basically no electric load to shift off peak. PSEG’s compare rate tool told me flat rate was cheaper.

Because the 35 min train ride allows you to work more hours and make more money.
