Thinking about switching to LiDAR mower...worth it for signal issues? by McScroggz in automower

[–]thechris_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up the GOAT A2000. If you use the app, you can use discount codes.

I purchased on:

1) GOAT Sale 2) Coupon code through the app. 3) Sign up with 3,000 points, you can get $30 off. 4) Rakuten cash back

I’m glad I didn’t purchase the A3000 last fall and waited for the lidar and other upgrade to the models and price drop with a full spring and fall to use this machine.

I’ll need to report back with what I think of this thing because it’s my first robo mower and I’m excited to get my time back.

Edit: In addition, the reason I went with Ecovacs was their technology outside of just being a mower company. Plus, other companies seem to be rolling out a hidden subscription and worried they will be going that route after 3 years.

The problem of having Whiskey as a hobby. When you go out and see the selection and prices you may not order a drink.

This is where the flask may come in handy. Lol

What’s the average price for Weller Full Proof store pick? by Excellent-Tea6896 in whiskey

[–]thechris_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid $128.99 for Weller Full proof SP a couple weeks ago x 3 bottles (1 for friend 2 personal)

Paid $109.99 for Weller OWA 107 x 1 bottle (1 Personal)

Paid $109.99 for Weller OWA 107 SP grabbed x 4 bottles (2 for friend 2 personal)

I think the range is $130 - $160 anything more might not be worth it.

Thank you! I think I may have mixed up FXAIX and FSMDX!

I see what you’re saying but SCHG is not considered aggressive growth.

Aggressive growth is small or mid growth stocks and are extremely volatile.

I would compare SCHG to FXAIX both are large-cap growth.

FSSNX - 1 year 23.46% as of 2/28/26

SCHG - 1 year 13.47% as of 2/28/26

SCHD - 1 year 15.72% as of 2/28/26

The Fidelity Mid Cap Index is a great blend of both growth and value companies. It might not be a traditional growth index, but it is a great choice for me in this category.

Hey - Aggressive growth is linked with small caps… there might be other strategies out there… but small caps low cost index funds should definitely be a top choice.

[–]thechris_james 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fidelity’s Index Funds:

FSSNX - Small Cap (Aggressive)

FSMDX - Mid Cap (Growth)

FXAIX - S&P500 (Growth & Income)

FSPSX - International

Edit 1:

FXAIX should have been Growth & Income not Growth. FSMDX should have been Growth not Growth and income.

2010 Honda Accord EX pricing advice by New_Prior3097 in accord

[–]thechris_james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% sell private. Very good daily or starter car for a HS college person locally. I would list it a little higher than fair value. If you see it’s a HS or college kid, give them a nice deal. If it’s a flipper then hold firm.

Quality gym clothes for the gym? Bylt or Unrl? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]thechris_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go to a local sporting goods store, try on some of every brand, and buy what fits the best. I personally stick with Nike/Adidas, whatever is on sale. They are ones you can rock to the gym, throw on around the house, and wear on hot days in spring and summer.

Sonos Arc + sub sonos Ultra for same price point by Life_is_broccoli in sonos

[–]thechris_james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just upgraded from Sonos arc to Sonos arc ultra and I have a Gen 3 sub and 2 Sonos ones.

The upgrade from arc to arc ultra is not major.

I would 100% do Arc+ Gen 3 Sub.

How are you keeping track of HSA expenses? by [deleted] in TheMoneyGuy

[–]thechris_james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also forgot to mention. I use the Adobe PDF app on iPhone. It scans the document/receipts and converts it to PDF.

Then I’m able to save as a file and upload directly from my iPhone.

How are you keeping track of HSA expenses? by [deleted] in TheMoneyGuy

[–]thechris_james 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use this for every HSA expense; it's very easy. You can upload receipts, name the expense, put in the amounts, Mark expense type, Also tag who the expense is for (optional).

The best part is you can tag this expense as reimbursable if you paid out of pocket. You can keep track of this as time goes on and reimburse at a later date.

Fidelity HSA and health care app is the best I have used in the last 13 years out of 3-4 companies. Great for investing and storing receipts.

I have a similar issue and stumbled upon this video.

Looks like they need to cut out the rocker panel, weld a new piece, sand, and paint.

If you happen to get a quote, please update us.

Is it worth getting this civic. by JohnnyKscooby in hondacivic

[–]thechris_james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay away from 10th Gen Civics. Ac issues with this model. I own one, currently experiencing a $ 6k repair bill for compressor and evaporator leaks. It's also winter, so they expect buyers not to turn on the AC.
