I have never owned an e-bike before. Looking for something reliable to ride on the beach and flat roads. My local dealer is advertising this Mokwheel Package.

We recently moved to a 40 unit condo in FL. There is currently one meter for the entire building and the bill is split equally by the owners. This works out to roughly [outrageous amount redacted] per owner for water/sewer.

About half of the units are weekly/monthly vacation rentals and there's no incentive to conserve/reduce usage.

My understanding is that the water meters must be readable from outside the building. Is there any kind of meter that could be installed inside each unit and read from outside? Like something that transmits the data to an external display?

I have 4,934 mi on my 2025 Hi5.
I have never had it serviced.

Dashboard message says I need to schedule service soon (at 5k miles).

Hyundai App says:
Last Service Completed 7/6/26 @ 4291mi ??? This is not accurate!
Next Service Due in 7.357mi on 7/6/27.

64F & 67m yo married couple. Just retired and sold our primary residence. Downsized and moved to condo (owned outright).

We have an Ameriprise account for our wealth management/retirement accounts. I'm generally happy with them. They have been responsive to our needs and helped grow our nest egg over the last 30+ years. Their fees seem in line with similar companies. We paid just under 10k in fees last year for them to manage 1.35m in assets.

We just came into a windfall after selling our house. I've been hearing about the importance of having a fiduciary advisor (my advisor is not) so I'm considering trying out a fiduciary like Fischer or one of the others to see how they perform compared to Ameriprise.

What say you all?

Another question:
What about AI? I have never used it but there seems to be a lot of buzz around it. Has anyone tried this for investing? What did you use and how do you do it?

We are selling our 30yo house and the buyers had an inspection done. One of the issues they found was “double lugged neutrals”. I had a retired electrician friend look at it. There is no open slots to move the neutrals. He tightened the screws and said its fine. Buyers want a licensed electrician to sign off. What are my chances?

*please let me know if this is the wrong sub to post this in and suggest an appropriate one, thanks.

Recently completed a move and set up my computer that same way it was before but now I get the following error from TM:
An error occurred while starting the backup. Anti-virus software may be preventing Time Machine from writing to the backup.

Computer is a MacBook Air M1 2020.
Backup drive is Seagate 2TB model SRD000F1.

No virus software exists on this Mac.
Disk First aid reports no problems.
I have:
• Deleted local snapshots.
• Trashed the Plist and restarted.

Still getting the same error.

Any suggestions (be nice)?

* Besides listen to your listing agent. She has already mentioned that the buyers backed off on another contract because the owners wouldn't correct things from inspection report. Don't know if this is true or if my agent is using a tactic to influence me into being more likely to agree to giving more concessions. If so, 3d chess, that.

We made some concessions on the contract already (lowered asking price and giving 5k toward closing costs). We are also including most of the existing furniture in a 5 br house. House is 30y old, we have kept it up well but no house is perfect and I think they will most likely ask for some more concessions after the inspection.

Offer is 3.5% below asking and they are asking us to pay $5000 toward their closing costs. We are also covering 3% buyers agent commission as well as our listing agents commission of 3%.

We have not sold a house before. Does this all seem normal? We have less than 24 hours to respond.

UPDATE: We countered with 1% discount and 5k toward closing and they accepted!
Thanks everyone for your advice!

Just retired to a small condominium (40 units). I want to convince the board to get/let me get a L2 charger. Curious to know if any of you have had a similar experience and what my best strategy should be.

I could ask to install a separate meter under my account but I'm wondering about other options. I'm assuming there's a way for them to install one, make it public and set the rates. How does this work?

House going on the market Monday. Rush rates are prohibitive. We are on a community well, we bought the house 20 years ago, no expansion tank, didn't know I needed one. Pre-Inspection flagged as a code violation. Retired plumber (friend of friend) told me "it's not hard, if you can do a shark bite fitting (I have) you can do it yourself". What say you all?

We have paid for homeowner's insurance for 40 years and have never made a claim. We have had State Farm, Allstate and most recently we switched to The Hartford (AARP) a few years ago when we retired.

A few days ago a valve broke under the sink and caused major damage to our laminate flooring. That particular flooring is no longer available so we need to replace about 600 square feet of flooring. Even if we go with cheaper LVP, we are looking at $4,000 or more to replace.

We are selling the house and moving out of state (GA to FL). Will this claim affect our rates even if we go with a different insurer in a different state?

3 Bedrooms about 750 SF. Carpet is being delivered in 12 days.

We are actually moving about 400 miles to FL. But dealing with “Long Distance Movers” has proved to be a nightmare.

Details:
• We have all our stuff (mostly in boxes) moved into one 15x15 room.
• Everything is going into a 10x15 storage unit in Flagler Beach FL
• We need to have it picked up at our location in Watkinsville and delivered (including loading/unloading) sometime in the first week of June this year.
• Reputable, Insured companies only!

Recommendations appreciated!

But the system says it can't reset because it can't connect to iCloud. What now?

We are retiring to our vacation home in FL and selling our primary residence in GA. House needs some work before listing. Interviewed several local realtors and the consensus is that if we put minimum 50k into it for repairs/improvements, we should get offers for 500k plus.

Our adult nephew likes our house and wants it. We plan to offer it to him as is for $450k minus 30k (potential commission if we sold on market). His final price would be 420k plus half of closing costs and taxes.

I know we might be "leaving money on the table" but the appeal of a quick sale and doing something nice for family is tempting.

My employer is giving away some old MacBooks.

I have the choice of either:

a 2019 MB Pro 14 GH Quad 8GB/250GB

-or-

a 2020 MB Air M1 8GB/500GB

I mainly use for Internet, Email, Text, Excell, Acrobat Pro and occasionally Photoshop

Which one should I choose?

So, we are interviewing prospective seller agents. One agent contacted me to let me know they had a buyer that was looking for a house that matched our price/description. They offered a 3 day contract so they could show our property. They also offered a 1.5% seller commission. We agreed, after the showing we were told the buyers loved our house but in the end they went with another property.

This got me to thinking. Suppose we keep interviewing agents and let it be known we are open to short term contracts. Am I crazy to think this is a viable strategy?
