Build the moat first, then the castle. With only two months saved and a two-year runway, go cash heavy now. Hit three months in the emergency fund fast, then shove most of the $400 toward the down payment and a small slice to extra loan principal for the guaranteed 5 percent win. Three to six months before buying, stop the extra loan trickle and pile cash for closing, moving, and the oh-no-the-fridge-died moment. Park the savings in a boring high-yield account and keep loan payments on time to guard your credit.

Split it, or enjoy paying 18% on your next pair of shoes.

That model feet and running shoes? Story of my life. I got back into jogging and my old sneakers were killing me and toes all crammed in there. Switched to something roomier and bam, no more pinching or blisters. But watch out for the arch support; if it's not there, your feet might fatigue quicker than you'd like. I mean I tried ignoring it once and ended up with sore calves, yeah not fun. Anyway, measure your feet width-wise before buying, helps a ton.

Check the specs carefully... It must support that model C power delivery with a 15 V profile and it must have a dedicated power input so the console can charge while sending video but then avoid adapters that use that model graphics like DisplayLink since the that model cannot use that. Also avoid hubs that say laptop only or Windows only since those often rely on features the that model does not provide. If the description says that model that model mode or mentions 15 V passthrough, you are on the right track.

Stainless is fine with mild acid when you do it briefly. Dissolve one tablespoon citric acid in half a liter of water or mix one part vinegar with two parts water bring to a boil, rest fifteen minutes, pour out, wipe, rinse, then boil plain water once and discard. Do not leave it soaking overnight and avoid abrasive pads. Done. With hard water aim for every few weeks, more often if you see flakes.
