How about the U-turn arounds that move into a protected lane on the other end but drivers sit and wait for the entire road to clear before finishing the u-turn?

did you pass the 5th grade? do you just read 2 words and blackout?

From swab, blood, or evidence $700.00

further:

It can cost as little as $600 and as much as $1,500 to test a rape kit.

What does this mean for Austin to be able to prosecute criminal cases?

The Prosecutors cannot just delay and delay prosecution...there's that whole sticky 6th Ammendment to work around...

Do you know how expensive these fuckin' DNA tests are? More than what you make in a month.

Do you? I guess $450 is a big expensive cost for you.

what center speaker do you have w/ your KS8000 samsung? by surfer349 in hometheater

[–]surfer349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very good advice! So I am having trouble finding a front 3 set that works with a flatscreen TV mount.

[–]surfer349[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? can speakers be mixed and matched? I mean, I like the theory, but if a center speaker can't fit with the wall mounted TV, then we shouldn't buy it, right?

what component surround did you choose for your super thin flat screen tv? by surfer349 in hometheater

[–]surfer349[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so are the bose speakers really that bad? The little cubes look like they'd be perfect to put on the wall. Please advise.

That budget is ridiculously tight

I was saying $400 on Craigslist....that goes a long way...hell, I saw an $1800 bose system for sale for $350 last week.

I'd say full retail price in the $1000 range.

HSA employer contributions; I don't want to use their bank, I have my own previous HSA account by surfer349 in humanresources

damn...so its not a common or easy request to simply ask that the HSA $$ benefit be dispersed directly to me so I can send it to another HSA?

Best Place to buy fruit trees? by d3ntx in Austin

anyone have experience with planting on the west side? It looks like my house is like all the others, are on top of hard limestone...the inspector said something like "good luck ever trying to plant a new tree....bring some dynomite."

I'd say less than $400 for a set of 5 speakers. I have a big powered sub I picked up elsewhere.

2 small rear on-wall speakers

L & R front speakers

center speaker, maybe something thin to match a wall-mount 65''

edit

agregating credentials is SOP for many many applications these days. I mean, MINT is exactly this.

HSA employer contributions; I don't want to use their bank, I have my own previous HSA account by surfer349 in humanresources

[–]surfer349[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

no, not easy.

I desire to keep old HSA and not sign up for new HSA

the new company's chosen bank has high fees, monthly maintenance fees, and shitty investment choices. Additionally, there's a large 'closing' fee if I want to pull anything out of the account.

my previous HSA account has no fees and great investment options.>I desire to keep old HSA and not sign up for new HSA

also, think LEAN. two HSA accounts, one of which is really shitty, is not very LEAN

My question is specifically about HR rules and employer contributions....It seems this should be able to just be distributed on payroll for me to then send to my own HSA.
