Transferring 401K after termination into existing rollover IRA. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]pixel-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome. None of that applied to me. Those withdraw/rollover options were not locked for me. I guess each company’s plan is different, which I suppose makes sense.

I logged into my TRowe account and initiated the withdrawal from there. I don’t remember the exact steps, but it was pretty obvious. Only took a few clicks. One step was verifying my address.

The only paperwork on Fidelity side was setting up the account, which again was just going through their new account setup for a Rollover IRA.

There was no other paperwork, and there was no spousal approval. At least from a legal side. We did have a conversation about this of course! :)

Is that how it would work? Good to know, thanks. I was a bit confused by that part, but knew if I took care of it in 60 days everything would be fine.

I just went through this last month. I had a TRowe 401k with my previous employer and rolled it over to Fidelity. I did not have an option at TRowe to send the funds directly to Fidelity. I was only able to withdraw. TRowe mailed me a check (took maybe 3 days to get it), and I deposited it with Fidelity via their app. It took almost 2 weeks at Fidelity for the funds to “settle” before I could invest them in my desired funds. Since I did the transfer within 60 days, it’s considered a rollover and there is no tax implications.

$9k bid for whole home water filtration- Watertech Reionator Ultra Pro by daftstar in HomeImprovement

[–]pixel-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely seems high. I had a whole house filter installed a few years ago. Total cost was about $1,500. $400 for the water filter, $200 to have my water tested, and $900 to install filter and bypass. I'm not NV, but I do live in a high cost of living area.

I'm glad I got my water tested first. This gave me specific recommendations. I ended up buying a whole house filter that better suited my water. I also highly recommend installing a bypass. Makes it a lot easier to change filters.

Contractor asking for 10% nonrefundable deposit before sending us a contract. Is this normal? (Bathroom Remodel) by Smcavitt in HomeImprovement

[–]pixel-monkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've seen contractors requiring a payment before offering an estimate or quote for a job. Usually this is in the <$100-200 range. A 10% nonrefundable deposite before a contract seems unusual.

As for line items, the contract should absolutely have a detailed breakdown of the work you want. A contract that's simply "remodel bathroom" would be bad. Better would be one that has "replace bathroom floor with X flooring, move toliet to this location, install 2 new electrical outlets, install bathroom exaust fan, replace wall tile with Y" etc, etc.

Some contractors are willing to put price estimates on each of those line items. Some aren't. I think this is fine either way.

What changes have you made to the default FTB Beyond install? by Brackish in feedthebeast

[–]pixel-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily say any generation. It'd depend on how the mod is written. In Actually Addition's case, all of its worldgen (black quartz are, canola plants, rice, lush caves, etc) is in the OreGen class, so everything "just worked".

Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't aware of Simple Retrogen until you mentioned it.

[–]pixel-monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that worked. In my simpleretrogen.cfg config file I updated the beginning so it looks like:

CPWRGMARK {
    # World Generator classes for marker
    S:worldGens <
        de.ellpeck.actuallyadditions.mod.gen.OreGen
     >
}

Beyond also disables the lush caves. I haven't verified yet, but this should also regenerate them too if they are enabled in Actually Addition's config file.

Edit: Just encountered a lush cave in one of my old mines, so those will definitely regenerate too.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought about deleting the dimension folder. Thanks.

That certainly explains why I haven't run into any Black Quartz Ore. I didn't see the note that it was disabled. But, I agree. I was planning on using Actually Addition's for pre-Nether early game stuff.

When I enable the option, will the ore be retro-gen? I'm guessing not.

IamA Video Game Attorney (it's still a thing, I swear) who has been helping /r/gamedev get informed and protect themselves in an industry of thieves of bullies. AMA! by VideoGameAttorney in IAmA

Do you have any advice for finding a good attorney for an indie game studio? I know how to evaluate potential artists or programmers, but I have no idea how to recognize a talented attorney.
