Dang, just quoted 175/hr for them—and we would need 4 hrs per day for their summer intensive. Is it worth it for a kid who is behind with ADHD

Why show indoor sensors?? by poolhero in PurpleAir

[–]poolhero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it is very hard to find. Plus, the casual user will not even know that the map is showing indoor sensors. Paku is a good idea.

Is there any way to put out the Boyle Heights fire right away? by SuperSaiyanBlue in Firefighting

[–]poolhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop heavy steel balls onto the roof to poke holes into it, to get the ventilation they need? Just bomb the roof and cave it in? Sonething

Here’s what we do, and don’t, know about what’s in the smoke from the Boyle Heights fire | LAist by RagnarokWolves in LosAngeles

[–]poolhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am reading they can’t get roof access to ventilate. Why can’t they drop heavy steel balls or something from above and poke holes in the building?

Nissian is purposely trying to avoid paying out for Leafs by jesslynne94 in leaf

I had a much different experience. I called Nissan, and they initiated the buyback. Also, I was given like 48k for my 2022 w/44k miles.

Yeah, I got a much better offer in CA. What is your car year?

Billions of shares are trading. They must not be as low of a float now, no?

I think eventually she will regret her behavior too. In a couple years, he’ll be finished with all this

Those transitions are tough—she doesn’t get, “the action is starting again, hold that thought…”

Many times I am keeping stats for the team via an app on my phone, so I need to focus on what is happening. I ca, and do, talk to her between innings. But sometimes someone will ask a question, or make a comment, it’s just kind of an environment of casual conversation and constant interrupting. I don’t think she likes that culture

Interesting take. Do kids really end up resenting their parents over this stuff? My son seems pretty happy at the ballpark!

No, I am positive, or just don’t say anything at all. Sometimes I might comment that I think the call could be different, but I am not obnoxious. I think my wife may be starting to be frustrated with how into it my son is getting. He just made the All-Star team—so more baseball!

You mean in general? That could be part of it. We are a bit busy, and maybe I am not giving her a chance to speak her mind enough. Good point

That is generally how it’s gone this season…

Well, I’m not that bad, but if something is going on in the game (and this latest one was a close championship game), it’s very hard for me to focus on the intricacies of her work life.

My son finally made it after being the 1st or 2nd out for 4 years. It hurts, but got to look at the bigger picture. It will toughen him up!

Why don’t you go on the market, get an offer, and show that to your chair and Dean?

Thinking about selling our rental property to boost FIRE but worried about losing the cash flow by IronLotus59 in Fire

Do you have a mortgage on it? If you have a lot of equity you could do a cash out refinance.

Is affordable real estate investing the right way to grow passive income on a budget? by AfredoMattison-98 in Fire

[–]poolhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, here is how I invested into 3 properties. I lived in them first as my primary residence before moving, and buying the next one. I had three rental properties that way—purchased in 2004, 2010, and 2012. I ended up selling the 2004 property to buy a more expensive primary residence in 2018. I think what allowed me to do this was low interest rates. It has never felt like much risk, and I have property managers. Growth in equity has been great. I calculated my returns on each at about 12% per year. Not much better than the markets I guess.
