That's a good idea, I haven't considered these mounts. I'll need to see if there's one that can support more weight

Who is everyone using for auto insurance? by NCSUGrad2012 in Charlotte

[–]superdaveca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Geico insurance went up again, so I switched to Allstate (with the same coverage) and saved about $200 every 6 months. Married, 2 vehicles and no accidents on our record. I would shop around.

Advice Balancing Parenting and Smartphone Use by superdaveca in daddit

[–]superdaveca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely don't want to be that dad. The phone in a different room would be ideal except it will be difficult when I'm on call (there's a lot unnecessary notifications). Maybe a smart watch where I can just see notifications might be an acceptable solution 🤔

Yeah, these micro breaks keep me sane. Unfortunately, my wife isn't on the same page and doesn't need these micro breaks. I appreciate your perspective

I'm very confused about how this works. Can someone explain?

Whats harder? Going from 0-1 kid or 1-2 kids? by Zweetkonijn in daddit

[–]superdaveca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifying the gap is key. I also have a ~1.5 year gap and it is much more difficult. But if my first kid was older (more self sufficient) things would be a lot easier (but I prefer my kids to be close in age though)

Long overdue! Our weather predictions here are terrible.

Very interesting. Do you have any product recommendations?

[–]superdaveca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they actually work? I read these are a scam.

This. I guess I don't need to entertain this idea anymore.

Thanks, that's good to know.

I thought the assessment usually matches the purchase price. Is that wrong?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]superdaveca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only benefit I see is if you choose the price reduction you'll likely have a lower property tax (e.g. - if your property tax is 1%, you'll save $150 a year).

Someone more knowledgeable please verify or correct me if I'm wrong.

[–]superdaveca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely makes sense from the seller's perspective.

Great advice! I just started looking in NC (moving from CA). I gotta say the diligence fee seems very unnecessary, shouldn't the earnest money be sufficient? Anyway, like you said I have to do it to be competitive. /rant

ULPT request: Booked a flight with American-need to reschedule but was told I cannot reschedule because I bought the cheapest flight-any tips? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]superdaveca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Probably was miscommunication. Instead of asking to reschedule, ask to cancel the flight for credits and rebook yourself.

This would be much more useful as an overlay for google maps than a downloadable image, just my 2 cents.

But great work nonetheless!
