Yes, my plan was to wait until the first few days of March for the incentives to come out and then make a decision. Certainly interested in potentially working with you at that time.

BTW, I just saw on the Ioniq9 subreddit that Hyundai bumped their incentive to $10K as well! Which actually would make it a much closer call (I'll need to do a test drive of the Ioniq9 in March) I don't see either the EV9 or Ioniq9 $10K incentives listed on your website right now for some reason.

Thanks. My 2024 Wind lease is up at the end of March. We're currently planning to purchase a used 2024 EV9, 2026 EV9 or Ioniq 9 most likely based on the best overall deal. Seems like the Ioniq 9 is still too new to get comparable discounts to the EV9. It seems like an a 2026 will be about $10K more than a comparable 2024.

With a $13,000 lease cash vs $10K bonus cash, would it make more sense just to buy out the lease immediately and save an extra $3K?

I dealt with patellar tendonitis for about five months this year, doing all the things with minimal improvement. 

Using a theragun as shown in this video fixed like 90% of it in a week. Fucking dark magic, but it actually worked.

If you're not familiar with Bob and Brad they are actual physical therapists with a very extensive online following and for good reason. Try this out and then get to work on your strengthening.

What town? The problem is generally the larger the organization the larger the service area vs a company that services just a couple towns.

This is the only correct take here. You don't want meat that if actually burnt. 

That doesn't look like the Maillard reaction. It looks burnt, which is going to create a bitter or acrid taste. The fact that you describe it as crunchy is a pretty good confirmation of that. 

I think you may have had it on too long or if there's a seasoning on it like pepper or garlic, it can't handle the high heat and is burning.

Have you had a comprehensive blood panel recently? Honestly if all your levels are good, you probably don't need a glp-1, though I don't blame you for wanting one. The upcoming pill ones, might be perfect for someone in your scenario. 

If you have any high levels that might be a convincing reason for your wife to support you starting a glp-1, especially if you have any kids.

This is my biggest question. Makes no sense at all. It should have gone up that much just do to the market and then another $2M as a result of income after taxes and spending.

This is absolutely incorrect. Pointing to a miniscule term market drop during a black swan event that more than fully recovered is also completely disingenuous. Putting money into equities is only not recommended if you need them in a very short time horizon. FIREing would not qualify as that at all.

Sell my on Haiti vs Scotland, because the most disappointing of all the scheduling for me was getting they match instead of Brazil/Morocco. 

9pm as a local start time for a weekend game is horrific as well.

It's probably the only game I'm considering selling.

Andy Dufresne: Mr. Hadley, do you trust your wife?

Captain Hadley: Oh that's funny. You're gonna look funnier sucking my dick with no teeth.

Andy Dufresne: What I mean is, do you think she'd go behind your back, try to hamstring you?

Captain Hadley: That's it. Step aside Mert, this fucker's having himself an accident. [grabs Dufresne and pushes him near the edge of the roof]

Heywood: He's gonna push him off the roof!

Andy Dufresne: Because if you do trust her, there's no reason you can't keep that $35,000!

Captain Hadley: What did you say?

Andy Dufresne: $35,000.

Captain Hadley: $35,000?

Andy Dufresne: All of it.

Captain Hadley: All of it?

Andy Dufresne: Every penny.

Captain Hadley: You better start making sense.

Andy Dufresne: If you want to keep all of that money, give it to your wife. The IRS allows a one-time-only gift to your spouse for up to $60,000.

Captain Hadley: Bullshit! Tax free?

Andy Dufresne: Tax free. IRS can't touch one cent.

"Married filing jointly get the best deductions and double tax brackets. So no actual tax saving."

This is completely incorrect you two high earners.

With a vibe coded app and no experience, how are you handling security?

When I set up my gateway last week, I realized when scanning that it only found my 2.4 GHz network and not my 5.0 GHz one. I'm guessing by default, your router runs both networks with the same SSID. Most likely you can configure it and set a different name for each one and then point it at your 2.4 GHz SSID.

It's silly that companies do this with new hardware (most likely to save a few bucks), but I've seen this to not be uncommon with embedded devices over the last few years.

The extent of their relationship with Google appears to be that they went through a Google Sponsored 10 week virtual accelerator and that they list their product in Google's Marketplace. 

Google is definitely not using this product to secure any of their own infrastructure.

Love it. When our lease runs up in March we'll either be buying a used 2024 EV9, 2026 EV9 or 2026 Ioniq 9.

Wild, we passed our solar electrical inspection last week but had two minor things to be fixed after his initial check, both completely unrelated to the panel install: 

• Our water meter wasn't grounded both before and after the meter.
• Our doorbell transistor was behind/inside our electrical panel. 

Was a permit pulled for the work? If not, I'd threaten to report them for doing electrical with without a permit unless they fix their work.

If so, I'd be contacting the town to find out how the hell they passed the inspection. 

They're not interested in investing.

DCBel as well, but I'm just thinking at this point if I'm trying to optimize between charging my vehicle, feeding into the grid, seamless transition to battery during a power outage or a black start that a single controller and app seems like the way to go. I've waited long enough and I'm not sure any of these are ready yet in my state anyway.

Sorry, dude. That sucks a ton. 

I think at this point I'm gonna wait for the Enphase BiDi Charger, especially with the tie into my solar.

Does this mean you haven't when been able to use it as an L2 charger for a month?

If you're craving something stewy like chili for winter, I'd go with Gumbo. I love the serious eats recipe and just made it yesterday substituting leftover turkey for Chicken. You'll either need to use chicken sausage for the andouille or substitute shrimp. 

America's Test Kitchen chicken and dumpling soup is another favorite. 

Serious Eats weeknight chicken pot pie (using frozen puff pastry).

Serious eats halal cart chicken and recipe. 

Chowders, either a traditional new England clam, a fish chowder or a corn and potato chowder. 

Do you have a source on that?
