If this pandemic has changed people's mind on the work model they prefer I don't see how it makes them whiners. If they are willing to quit to keep the remote work model kudos to them, there are many reasons to want a job change and remote work is just one that is becoming more prevalent. I'm...

Never try pitting them against each other but I have an investment property near Sacramento and I looked up what OpenDoor would offer for it earlier this year. Since then they send me updated offers on a regular basis: - Feb 22: $639K - Mar 28: $679K - Apr 06: $694K - Apr 18: $705K - Jun 04...

That?s cute but most of the people don?t get to decide, at least in large companies  ;D Just got notified that we are moving to a new phase with 30% of staff allowed on site by end of June, you don?t get to choose just yet as the more hands on position take priority.

Still remote for now, I have yet to put a foot in my new company's offices but down the line it will be hybrid (3 days in the office, 2 at home). No ETA for a return in the office. Not sure how flexible they will be around the hybrid work model but only very few people will be allowed to go...

You may want to ask your builder for the contact details of their plumbing company, by being familiar with the build they should be able to give you a quick estimate. It may not look pretty but you can certainly hide the terminated pipes behind shelving or furniture. I would plan to convert...

US Bank (thanks USC  ;D).

Just locked a jumbo refi 5/1 ARM 2.50% 0 points 0 closing costs (70% LTV) which seems pretty good to me.

No Alexa, no problem.  ;D On a more serious note I have yet to find a home assistant that doesn't create more privacy concern than it's worth (Alexa, Google Home...). Maybe Apple Siri on their HomePods but even then I'm not sure it's great.

Rivian was supposed to start R1T deliveries next month after delaying it last year but it looks unlikely, maybe delayed again to the end of the year? And the Lightning announcement is not a good news for them considering how closely apart they will be released with such a big price difference.

That made me chuckle  ;D Between the Panasonic batteries, the level 2 FSD and the manufacturing prowess of Tesla the other vendors must be real worried. Don't make it sound like Tesla is the end all be all of EVs.

There is quite a bit of information available on the landfill so you should be able make your own opinion. Pre COVID you could even take a guided tour of the facility. https://oclandfills.com/landfills/active-landfills/frank-r-bowerman-landfill Not too sure what is available on the asphalt...

I've always had good experience with BestBuy both with a built in fridge and 2 pairs of washer dryer with second floor install.

The IRS already ask if "At any time during 2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?" on the 1040 form so I'm not sure it's a huge news. But your average crypto owner probably doesn't realize they need to pay tax on their...

Looks like The New Home Company, at least in NorCal doesn't want to go the route of bidding for new releases. Curious to see if it is a company wide policy or just local.

Your planters lights are most likely low voltage fixture (~20V), not 110V. Are they connected to a transformer somewhere?

Really?! for a 15ft setback yard it feels very very pricey. My only advice would be to cross shop as much as possible, this contractor may not need the additional work so he is jacking up the price.

The base model is pretty bare bone but it may be the better deal once you upgrade the DRAM to 16GB (the max I guess for this model). You will most likely have to buy a good Thunderbolt hub for more USB ports, that would make the $200 upgrade to the mid range model a bit of a waste for +1 GPU...

Some fan vendors offer wall control that fits in place of a switch. For example this one:https://www.hunterfan.com/collections/ceiling-fan-controls/products/ceiling-fan-accessories-fan-light-dual-slide-wall-control-27182 I looked briefly at the manual and it may require a 3 conductor wire...

I would hate to be looking right now... Just for a good laugh, it could be worst  ;D:https://www.kron4.com/news/california/citrus-heights-home-for-sale-receives-122-offers-in-one-weekend-sells-in-3-hours/

:o My main reason for looking at battery storage is to take over in case of an outage, really for the fridges, water heater, furnaces and lights to be able to function, not really planning to run AC from batteries. Not far from my area this year they had outages until November, it was not hot...
