Thoughts on new model clothes washers?
What are the good/bad brands to get today in 2023? (the old thread I found was 2015) Currently have a 2016 GE top loader (no agitator), about 15% of the time i am manually dumping extra water into it. It does not have that ‘deep fill’ or ‘add a gallon’ feature. Its still running fine, but looking to replace it as at 8 years its nearing end of life, and with the new restrictions coming out soon all new models will be garbage. Had a front loader before this but didn’t really like it. Getting another top loader would be fine as long as it has the add-extra-water feature. I see Whirlpool has a top loader with removable agitator, but they seem to be the only brand making this feature. That feature looks great, as I can pull out the agitator for bulky items (wash alot of blankets from my dogs), and use the agitator for clothes, and it has the deep-fill. How is Whirlpool today? (i heard they bought maytag). Or are the LG or Samsung top loaders better?

Close to mid range optic
i went with a Burris elite 3200 scope, 4-12x with adjustable objective mounted on a pepr, and a Magpul Pro buis canted and flipup. Having the AO is nice with settings from 10 to 300+ yards, making the rotate from iron to scope fast. My other has a holosun 503bu (circle and dot), with optional qd mounted primary arms 5x.

Stock picks..anyone do some small time investing?
My crystal ball is broken, should have bailed months ago. Any thoughts if bottom is in site? Or time to slowly cash out before the panic selling (which has not happened yet)? This time of year is typically bad anyway.

Holster Recomendations
I prefer this style of holster: https://www.vedderholsters.com/comforttuck-iwb-hybrid-holster/ works well from 1 to 5 o’clock. Adjustable height, and holds well even if you use only one of the belt clips.

Where Did You Go / Are You Thinking Of Moving TO When You Leave NJ
Nassau county, west of Callahan, by the Georgia border. It’s farm, cattle, and horse country. You can shoot on your own land, and still be on the beach in under an hour. Stay away from the west side of Duval county.

Where Did You Go / Are You Thinking Of Moving TO When You Leave NJ
North East costal Florida is safe from the hurricane, it’s a little coastal nook. There are 150+ year old wood framed houses next to 150+ year old oaks 1/4 mile inland. The pirates of yore knew what they were doing.

Let's talk trucks, What you drive,
Did the Ridgeline add a locking center diff yet? I really liked them but at the time they were only awd, went Tacoma for the 4x4, needed it for soft deep sand driving.

Different Types of Smart TVs? & other TV ?'s...
I have the Apple TV connected to my Samsung’s. This way that little processor in the tv just runs the image processing, while the Apple handles the streaming and video/sound conversions and processing. It’s a nice interface, and the apps are always kept updated. Depending on the channels you want, there are lots of good free tv apps, I currently use Pluto (which is owned by ViacomCBS). If you also get a cheap Roku box, they also have a free live streaming app. Lots of live streaming themed channels all free. For paid, I use Hulu ad-free.

gun safety rule# 1 alec baldwin
Weren’t these single action style revolvers, so he cocked the hammer and pulled the trigger, all with people standing in front of him. If they weren’t all so anti nra, the one hour nra basic safety course could be given each morning of filming action scenes, even a just 15 minute lecture to everyone and she would be alive.

So were they filming a scene where the camera and crew were downrange, which blanks should have been safe, or was he throwing one of his tantrums waving around the pistol and fired the banks at close range, which would be lethal ?

Current Housing Market - Post Pandemic
May be worth it to list it now, people like to be in time for the new school year, possibly paying a premium for that, could be worth it to rent for a month or two?

college assistance
This is not entirely true, and you may not find out until it’s too late. In my case Rutgers did accept all of my one son’s county credits, but said they don’t all apply towards the degree. Even though his associates is the same as the bachelor, they wanted another 3 years.

Buying a new suv
Depends, both are great. Do you need 4x4 or is awd good enough. I wish the Ridgeline had a center diff lock. The bed storage is really cool, but if you get a flat you are unloading everything to get to the micro spare. That 8 speed trans is still a bit new but looks promising. End of the day, can’t go wrong with either.

Get a Tacoma, with a home you need to transport the more than occasional bulky item.

You're All Going To Be Rich!!! Mnuchin says $600 checks will be sent out ‘next week’
I was referring to adult dependents such as college and elderly parents. I will have them self file for 2020, but will amend 2019 if needed so they can get some help.

So if it gets approved, which tax year would it hit? The year it was put on the desk, or the year it passed into law? got hit at both ends with dependent adult kids and dependent elderly. May need to re-file several of last year returns.

PC Component Availability
If you go with an xx60 card you will be replacing it in a year, spend the little bit more for at least xx70 series. Or look for a used 1080-TI You can also go for a 2k gaming monitor, will get 100fps in all titles on ultra with not much visual difference between 2k and 4k. Otherwise you need a 3080, or just go with an etch-a-sketch.
