    Suitable compressor for seating tubeless tires

    I have this small quiet compressor. I use this in my garage and also at the Bike Exchange. However, for seating tire beads it rarely does the job. It's great for inflating but does not deliver the SCFM to consistently blow the bead on. It also is bad for running an impact wrench. For bigger...

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    If you moved from NJ to NC, you likely established domicile in NC. It's the so called nomads that stay out of the state but have not established a domicile in a new state that continue to be taxed as residents.

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    Days in, days out is more of a tie-breaker than a finite rule. The rule is domicile: you are resident to where you ultimately return. You can do lots of travelling, spend lots of time outside of NJ (or any state) but state income tax auditors focus on domicile. How do you prove domicile...

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    Has anyone jumped on this "free" solar energy thing?

    The house doesn't suddenly become more valuable. That the house comes with a zero electric bill is the feature a buyer will pay for using a mortgage.

    Has anyone jumped on this "free" solar energy thing?

    I have been wrestling with the "free" part of free solar. Suppose you are over age 59.5 and have fixed income in your IRA. Maybe you can get to free by substituting solar for that fixed income. Taking an IRA distribution at that age is subject to tax but no penalty. The solar cost has a 30%...
