Any honest thoughts on the Dublin, San Ramon area on the eastern side of the Bay Area? Do you like it?

Grew up in suburbia and hated it as a teenager because, let's face it suburban life can be boring as hell and sometimes a mundane mediocre crowd.
But now that we have a baby, loving the larger homes, extra space and calm jogging roads.
Am I gonna hate it? Am I gonna become a Soccer mom?
Need to move somewhere larger either way, just wondering if this place is the right choice.

Does Centurion Lounge access justify the Amex Platinum fee? 80% of foreseeable travel will be through IAH, DFW, and LAS.

With ~$500k HHI and almost no debt, in which neighborhood can we practically afford a house? We do outdoorsy stuff (mtb biking, kayaking etc.) and also have a dog that likes to run.

Any suggestions are appreciated! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

NFT peeps, get a Doodle while you still can. Bought mine for 1.5 ETH last week. Now at 3.9 floor. Other collections that I think have a lot of potential: Lil Baby Ape Club, Cosmic Labs ducks, Party Apes, and Stoner Cats. Cool Cats are pricey. Little Alien Club is super duper cheap but a total Hail Mary gamble.

Anyone from Embark able to tell me about some benefits you have. Like how long is Paternity leave and do you have to be with the firm for a year to use it? Also what health insurance do you have? I saw that Embark fully pays premiums but if it’s a junk insurance company then that’s not so great haha.
Also how often are you traveling / in office? Thanks!

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Since moving back in with my parents, I’ve noticed their internet cannot handle three people working from home. Does anyone have experience relying on a mifi full time? I know the biggest downside is the data limit, but would I be able to get a plan that would suffice for my 16 hour-long busy season days? Help me, I’m a newb :)

Office chair recs? Looking to upgrade

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

How do digital nomads work from anywhere? After two years of this whole WFH thing, I realize that I need a proper routine, an actual WFH setup with a second monitor, a ring light, a suitable desk, an ergonomic chair, stationery, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love the flexibility of remote work, and I'm not sure I will ever go back to 5 days a week in an office (or even one day a week, for that matter.) But, how do digital nomads adapt by packing up and going so frequently between places?

Has anyone worked at Cherry Bekaert accounting firm? Any insights in work culture in DC/MD/VA area, specially leadership? I am exploring options and wanted to see if this was a good fit. Thank you.

Employer is trying to force me (disabled using a walker and immunocompromised) to return to work at the office after WFH efficiently (covering 2 roles!) For 2 years. I actually can't even do my job from the office. Office isn't ADA compliant and my walker doesn't fit. Some employees aren't vaxxed and mask mandates are being removed. I've been fighting this order loudly. And now I have to meet with the CEO, HR and my supervisor. Wish I could leave, but I don't have a new job lined up.
