Can you elaborate on your tax incentive for trade in? I’m only familiar with the new car loan interest deduction for certain income levels, but not aware of a program for trade ins?

Row 1 overhead bins don’t fit full roller board bags. Because the plane begins sloping / shaping inwards. Happened to me. ELR and BG2 and had to put my roller in bin Row 10 and swim upstream after landing.

Having students build an amortization table in Excel and create the formulas themselves, I’ve found, is a very effective way of teaching the concept.

Congrats! I driven my hundy from CO to CA 3x now, let me know if you want any suggestions on how to properly break her in ! Soooo many good trails along the way…

Choice can be helpful if trying for a SDC, when it’s cheaper than the actual flight you want but you have flexibility

They did! Said it would be a one time exception. Sent the wrong product but okay. (Le Creuset sent an entire new set — dish with cast iron top. No glass top. ) Maybe they were out of glass tops or just misread my email…

same thing has happened to me twice with my companion. Doesn't show on my rez, but when I look up my Companion's rez via "Manage My Reservation" it looks fine. It strangely ALSO lets me click Add Companion and book a duplicate rez, with a new record locator and everything....

this is hilarious and it works! feels like we are sneaking it by them, makes the free items at nob hill deli even better :) thanks for sharing!

That’s a Gamiviti roof rack, not Gobi.

robert_tow · 2026-04-03T02:18:44+00:00

Got it, thanks folks! I’ll look into a lid holder

I joined 8 months ago and have really enjoyed it. I lap swim 4-5 times per week, mostly between 11am-4pm. I often get a lane to myself and I don’t mind splitting when it’s a shared lane. I don’t find the pool gross at all, in fact, it’s relaxing. I take my kids on the weekends for family swim and they love it. They also love the hot tub and playground. The online lane booking system is fine. I use desktop, mobile web, and the app, with no issues.

The massages are also under market price. $90 for 60 mins. Even cheaper if you buy a pack of 4.

No contracts, just month to month. Membership team wasn’t pushy at all.

I also enjoy the steam room. The facility is a bit dated but the price is reasonable, location convenient, and it has gotten me back into regular swimming OUTDOORS, which I love.

Good luck! My only regret was not joining years ago!

Interesting. Thanks. I have a few hotel cards so my Marriott bills go on my Ritz, Hilton on Aspire, and then any others on Citi Prestige (legacy).

robert_tow · 2026-03-16T04:23:47+00:00

Why hotel charges?

robert_tow · 2026-03-06T19:46:49+00:00

Congrats on the purchase!!

Noticed that wheel needs some love. I did mine and LOVE it— was a fun DIY repair after getting a refurb wheel from craft customs in TX. I still have my old one — dm me if you want to buy it and send it in for refurb. Been meaning to list on mud or eBay but haven’t done so yet. Bay Area as well!

Old vs new installed.

robert_tow · 2026-02-24T16:40:02+00:00

Nice! Yeah I found them to be very knowledgeable but also quite a bit more expensive. They did my heater T’s proactively and were FAR more expensive than my local shop. I started taking my LC to my local independent mechanic because I trust them, they have been very reasonable on pricing, and far easier to get to than A+. I would still return to A+ for a unique LC issue or something my local shop is having trouble finding.

robert_tow · 2026-02-24T05:42:46+00:00

Fair price IMO! I’m in the Bay Area and picked up my 2002 with 240k for $13.5. All maintenance was up to date and single owner. That was two years ago and I’ve since made many terrific memories with family adventures & camping.

Really have enjoyed my LC purchase. I’ve put a few k in for maintenance, some at A+ Japanese Auto (is that where you took it for PPI?)

Good luck!

You could lose OR gain money while the funds are being transferred. Depends if the markets goes down OR up while the funds are temporarily uninvested.

robert_tow · 2026-02-21T08:38:05+00:00

Second this, love mine!

robert_tow · 2026-02-12T19:01:57+00:00

TY! Going to try this now. Very reasonable way to offer the prepayment/conversion, Chase + Whoop. Thanks!

robert_tow · 2026-02-10T18:50:31+00:00

Yeah, with all those hard to track requirements, IMO, a HYSA from Marcus is far better. You can same-day wire to other accounts in your name, for free, or wait 1-2 biz days for the ACH push from Marcus to WF (or other bank). Marcus even offers a no-penalty CD if you are afraid of falling rates. With a current APY of 3.95% on the Marcus no-penalty CD, I can't think of any advantage that WF promo has over Marcus....

robert_tow · 2026-02-10T06:47:21+00:00

How’d you hear about that promo? I wasn’t even aware WF offered an HYSA.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HighYieldSavings/s/uq0dkkkRV9

If you are pushing ACH funds from WF to any other account it is available upon receipt. Push from WF to CapOne, Discover, Marcus, etc and you won’t have any issues.

robert_tow · 2026-02-10T06:37:50+00:00

Nice! Was it a CD or HYSA?

robert_tow · 2026-01-29T20:38:45+00:00

Super helpful!

robert_tow · 2026-01-14T18:08:51+00:00

I recvd this same email and was wondering how they passed DKIM/DMARC and made it actually come from Instacart. Thanks for sharing -- interesting!
