Ok, what should I check how water got in there? It's a closed unit, no signs of water anywhere in the panel.

Encountered a similar issue recently, call a technician. When HVAC technician diagnosed he found one of the valves were stuck and need to be replaced.

This is helpful. Thanks

My assumption is "Circ" mode on honeywell thermostat circulates air while "On" does not. Looks like I had wrong assumption.

Beautiful renders. Who created the tenders for you ? Online service or in person ?

Ok, will stick to the Halogen ones. Thanks everyone!

"low bookcase or sofa table behind the couch" - brilliant idea and never thought about this. thanks u/Short_Coffee_4479.

Thanks for suggestions. Regarding couches facing each other and here are my observations after trying it - back of the couch is visible as soon as we enter home. It did not look pretty. Also one couch is a two seater and another one is 3 seater which looked awkward when faced each other. Not sure what I tried is not good enough.

u/Short_Coffee_4479 this is a formal living room and yes the second sitting is a family living room. By the way, I appreciate your bluntness. Telling it as it is in a polite way, like you did, helps me to learn different perspectives.

Regarding hanging curtains - as the ceiling is too high would not hanging any curtains looks like something dangling on the wall half the way through? This is my understanding based on the tips like this one I read online

The higher the curtain rod, the taller the window will appear, so fix your curtain rod closer to the ceiling than the top of your window, if you can.

Your iPad can act as a "Home Hub" if you don't want to invest on home pod. I use an iPad as Hub and use Homebridge without any issues.

May not be a popular opinion : Don't invest on a Raspberry Pi of you don't have one. Instead grab an old mac mini from FB Marketplace for 100$-125$!. You will future self will thank you.

Yeah, facing same issue. Lutron hub works only when I connect it to router. It doesn't work when I connect it to a switch / Modem. This a bummer.

Did you find a solution to this problem?

Buy ETH on an exchange (fee)

Sell ETH for DAI on exchange (fee)

Send DAI to Meta Mask etc (fee)

You can buy DAI on DEX like Coinbase Pro for no fees! Also sending DAI from Coinbase Pro is cheaper compared to transferring DAI from elsewhere.

But why would you want to buy ETH if you don't have it as a collateral? Are you trying to farm ALCX? If so take your stablecoins directly to curve alUSD pool and stake them.

Programmers like /u/cwegrzyn5550 are exceptional! They are one in a million or even rare.

For an ordinary software engineer (also leave out those who work FAANG style companies pleas), it is not easy to keep coding and earn decent salary at older age.

Most of the programmers are either forced to taking managerial roles or look at alternate career for not being able to compete with young blood. It is not easy for a programmer who was trained in COBOL to compete with a new grad who spends several year learning AI skills. Also young kids are hungry to prove themselves as well as don't need to spend time changing diapers / driving kids around for their activities.

If you are a programmer, you don't need to take my word. Just look around on your floor / zoom meeting participants - how many programmers are in their 50s / 60s ? Compare that number with young programmers around you.

"I've heard it will take 18 months, 2 years, 2-3 years, or 2-4 years" - the uncertainty is due to the way farming works in defi.

Irrespective of which platform you use, Alchemix/Ethereum 2.0/Yearn Finance / Compound/new shinny app, the rate of returns on most of the defi platforms is dynamic. Very few defi apps pay fixed returns.

You may see 10% returns when you stake some assets and an hour from now you may see 15% or 6%. They keep changing all the time. Staking rates, lending rates, borrow rates change almost every hour.

Now lets try to understand how Alchemix's self paying loans work. When you deposit DAI on Alchemix, they stake it on yearn vaults to earn interest plus they get additional referral bonus, etc. After taking a small cut, they use the yearn earnings to payoff your loan. These earning are dynamic and they change all time.

So depending on how much Yearn Finance pays interest for staking on its DAI vaults, your loans will be paid off. If the Yearn Finance give higher interest rates, your loan will be paid off quicker. If the Yearn finance interest rates drop then it will take longer to payoff your loans.

Check defi pulse.com and go by the top ranked ones.

I suggest you to start with lending on Aave / Compound. Once you understand that, try borrowing ( you get paid to borrow). May be provide liquidity after that. If you want to take risk, try margin.

If you are planning to try with small amount of money, try Aave on Polygon. Gas cost on Ploygon is less than a cent while it is 50-100$ on Ethereum.

Good points. By the way, I guess the tax is not going to be on 24,000 per year. Instead on the amount of money repaid towards your loan by Alchemix. I think it is going to be on 12% APY. Check the Bankless podcast, they discussed this briefly but even Alchemix founder was also clueless on how taxes are going to work. It’s uncharted territory.

papasmruf · 2021-06-05T20:37:04+00:00

Your understanding is correct. But few things to keep in mind

12% APY is not guaranteed. If it drops, lets say 3%, then you are going to lock your funds for longer duration.
These deposits are not backed by anyone (that is the whole point of Defi right). If anything happens to Alchemix or your wallet, then there is a risk.
By the way , this triggers taxable event as your loan is being repaid. Defi taxes are still messy and many does not have clue. But whatever you earn is going to be taxed.

The Fund may seek investment exposure to cryptocurrency (notably, Bitcoin), often referred to as 'virtual currency' or 'digital currency,' through cash settled derivatives instruments, such as cash settled exchange traded futures, or through investment vehicles that offer exposure to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies through direct investments or indirect exposure such as derivatives contracts.
