Does anyone know of anyone or a place that will let me pass a smog test if I pay for extras ? ?
I am having a very difficult time because my friend bought me a car that is a hassle. I was told that it needs to be repaired to pass the smog test and that it will cost $ about 6000 to repair. I just bought the car and I am a student and I don't have that kind of money right now. So I am stuck in a situation where I can't register my car and I can't get it repaired. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some information.

I see. Thank you for telling me. I don't know much about cars at all.
And I thought I could fix it cheaply, but that's not true ? wrong ?
I went to 4 ~ 5 places before I went to the person who told me that I had to buy parts from Toyota
and that I would have to pay 2500 or 3000. I was getting discouraged because I was told 3,000 、、、、

I had mine fixed at a repair shop for $ 500. The repair was to cut out the old catalytic converter and put in a new one. Since it is an older car, I don't think there is any need to be concerned about expensive OEM parts.

The engine light bothers everyone,
I inserted a Berryman B-12 into my gas tank and
the light blinking went away and the test passed.

You can buy it on Ebay for $5-6,

BTW, Topix is just saying $ that the repair will cost about $6000, why are you assuming that the catalyst has deteriorated and needs to be replaced ?
There are many more possibilities, such as a transmission failure DTC that causes the MIL to light up and not pass a smog test, etc. There are so many possibilities ?.

I am in a shared room for a few months for a reason. There are about 12 - 15 people living in the house. The fridge is stuffed with everyone's food.
My chicken and the 2L coca cola I leave on top of the fridge ・ are stolen on a regular basis. Its a house rule that you are not allowed to eat other people's food. One person was caught stealing food the other day and was evicted at the next rent payment.

The question is:
Do you have any recommendations for a camera ? small and undetectable. (Of course, we will install it with the house owner's permission. \cHB9.5}
We don't know when it will be stolen, so we would like something that can record all the time, and automatically erase the past few days and start recording again on a new day.

Just let me know which camera you prefer.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the flight question.

Do you recommend a car camera ? There were a series of car-related problems around me and I was lamenting the fact that there were no cameras and no evidence. He said he even called the police but they couldn't help.

I wish I could record while driving and while stopped.

A friend of mine had a problem
① with his windshield being damaged by a rock thrown by skateboarders playing nearby while parked in a parking lot.
→ I took a video of the glass breaking and the boys running away and getting into the car, with the license plate number visible, but the police said they needed a video of the moment of the breakage and said it was not evidence.

② I was hit by a car that was visiting a neighbor's house while parked unattended in the underground parking lot of my apartment
→ I asked the landlord of the apartment to record the car entering and leaving the parking lot for the police, but they said it was not evidence of a hit. He said he might have been able to get by a little if he had video of the car intact when it entered the parking lot and scratched when it exited, but just as it was entering, the other side of the car was shown and he could only see the scratches when it exited.

③ A car was driving down the freeway and tried to pass him at a high rate of speed, scraped my friend's car and drove off.
→ I was so panicked that I don't remember the license plate number of the car, I don't know the make and model of the car, and all I can remember is that the car was an engine-like color
→ The police came but left saying that it would be difficult to identify it

. I don't know what to say. I know it's an accident, but it's unreasonable. all three of us are repairing the car with our own insurance, but the insurance premiums are going up and I don't feel good about it, so I was depressed.

It seems that about 500 Japanese are stranded in Afghanistan. I heard that one of them made it to the airport safely.

I just hope they are safe. But still, puppets who call people Neanderthals are the most disgraceful. This is the result of those who vote without second thoughts, as if their dislike of Trump precedes them and they would have voted for any of his opponents. The same is true for the border issue and the Corona measure. Is there even one successful issue that the people support ??

Does everyone open checkbooks at the cash register anymore ?

Although not related to check payment, there was a time when the airport shuttle bus between Van Nuys Airport and LAX was cash-only. However, the ticket booths suddenly changed to accept only credit card payment, as if the ticket salesman, who was supposed to be a city employee, had stolen the cash out of the booth.

Now there should only be kiosk machines ( vending machines ) that only accept cards, as I have no business at LAX since 2019.

As far as I can tell.

There is a "FFCRA Act" for pandemic preparedness, but the target audience is employees working in small businesses with less than 500 employees.

I read an article once that this law was Expired in December 2020 and was re-extended in some states. However, when I checked, I found that the federal Department of Labor website has not updated its explanation of the re-extension.

Federal Department of Labor homepage:
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic/ffcra-questions

Is this "FFCRA law" still applicable in Hawaii? If so, we recommend that you contact the Hawaii Department of Labor directly for the most up-to-date information on whether you meet the requirements.

I have found other information since then and will add it. They will be paid UI for a week instead of 10 days. The amount paid is not based on your salary as it is, but on your past income for the past 18 months.

Question
I was tested for COVID-19 and am awaiting my results, and my employer told me not to return to work, am I eligible for UI?

Answer
Yes, you are.

Link to:
https://labor.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-19-UI-FAQs.pdf

However, it takes almost a month to start the online process, pass the screening and get paid. If you have read the unemployment insurance rules carefully in the handbook and still want to receive one week's payment, it would be quicker to find a relative or friend who received unemployment insurance due to the pandemic and ask them to directly tell you how to go about the procedure.

My personal impression is that if the FFCRA law is still in effect in the state of Hawaii, it would be easier to apply for Paid Sick Leave than unemployment insurance, which has many strict rules and conditions.

You should stock up on food and household items in case you are unable to get out. It is also a good idea to put or secure things in your house that might be blown away.

・ Prepare an emergency bag
・ Stockpile daily necessities
・ Talk with family members in advance
・ Stash spare water


I think it's better to have insurance .

When cleaning up around the house after a hurricane, always wear gloves and don't touch it directly, as it can be sanitary and dirty.

I have been leaving all bookkeeping for the restaurant to the accountancy,
but from now on I am going to do it myself, except for TAX RETURN.

I have only one restaurant with single digit employees. 
What I would like your advice on is

① Do I need software, since many people say they don't really know how to use it,
Is Excel ok or would it be easier to have it,
If so, is there a monthly Subscription
Do we need an online plan? ?

② I hear that it is better to outsource the bi-weekly payroll
. Is it better to apply from the ADP website rather than from Quickbooks, etc. ?
I know there is Paycheckcity, etc.

③ I heard that monthly sales tax is done from CA state application page.
Quickbooks ONLINE Plan has a section called "sales tax", is this a way to pay using the ONLINE Plan? accounting firm uses Quickbooks.
If we stop using the accounting firm, will we have to purchase the software and input our account from scratch? I'm wondering if we really need the software.


I would appreciate any advice on an easy way to transition from the accounting firm to doing this myself.

How are you going to manage inventory, food purchasing, expenses, and SalesTax without using software ?
Expenses are divided into various categories, so you can drop 100% of them or spend 3 years
If you have to do it in Excel, it's easy to use Quickbooks!
You should think about it in case you get audited
Currently the Quickbooks admins are the accounting firms, so they won't give you the historical data ? Well, I don't need it
I'm still using 2019 Quickbooks. I'm still using Quickbooks currently. You don't have to buy the software every year
Of course I haven't used the software all the way through, but it's cheaper and easier

① If you don't have a branch office, you can use Desktop ? We use Desktop
② We do our own employee ? If you're not solo, you'll have to hire an outside firm
③ SalesTax is done by typing it in yourself on the CDTFA site, and Quickbooks will give you the numbers, so this isn't that hard

I don't think you have Excel nowadays ?

> You have only one store and a single-digit employee size

so it is difficult to decide whether to manage the finances yourself or leave it to someone else.

If you have a "right-hand man" to whom you can entrust the direct management of the store, including employee supervision, you can immerse yourself in financial management, but if not, you will have to entrust all or part of the work to an outside agency. If you are familiar with accounting software and the software is linked to your accountant's computer, you can use a "tripod" approach, where your accountant calculates sales tax, State Board of Equalization, and IRS-related taxes and you make the payments. You can have your accountant calculate the sales tax, etc., and pay the IRS related taxes on your own.

In my case, I started with Mom and Pop Corporation, which at one time had over 50 people including myself paying payroll checks, but I left the accountant to someone I had hired since I was an expatriate. When the number of employees started to increase, I needed a receptionist and secretary, so I asked her to put the employee's working hours in Excel and sent the data to ADP to make the Paycheck. I don't need to go this far for you. It's just Gigi's bragging.
