Read previewWhen Daniella Glaeze showed off her newly bought 3D printed home on TikTok, the biggest question commenters posted had less to do with printing and more with cleaning. In the case of 3D printed homes, the "ridges" refer to the horizontal layers of material that are left behind after the massive printing machine finishes. Daniella Glaeze, who currently lives in one of Icon's 3D printed homes, previously told Insider that she hasn't had any trouble with grime collecting in her home. Mighty Buildings, a 3D printing company based in Oakland, California, 3D prints its panels in factories rather than on-site, a spokesperson told BI. So if you're thinking about moving into a 3D printed home, you can brush away any worries of dusty walls and complicated cleaning processes.

Her side hustle requires it: She's converted 11 acres of her land, split between three properties around Asheville, North Carolina, into private dog parks. She rents out the spaces to local pet owners on an Airbnb-style platform called Sniffspot.

Some of the most important factors to consider when buying a house are price, size, and location. Location and neighborhoodLocation is something you're stuck with until you move, so be sure you're choosing a city, school district, and neighborhood that suits your needs. If homes are flying off the shelves, you'll need to be prepared to make fast offers that get noticed right off the bat. If the appraisal comes in lower than what you offer, you'll have to make up the difference or renegotiate with the seller. Evaluating a house's resale potential is critical, as you want to be sure you're making a smart investment of your money.

☆ Leaving India and working in tech in the US changed me. I feel too foreign here and too foreign there.

It was because I knew that working in Big Tech in Silicon Valley would change me into a different person and I'd never move back. It's been 11 years since then, and I think I've gotten happier with my life here now that I've worked at a few different jobs in Big Tech. But despite this, working in the US suits me better than working in India because of my individualistic mindset. Some people back home think very competitively — they've hinted that they think I'm just plain lucky, and if they had the opportunity, they'd do it too and much better. Even if I had all the resources to go back to India, it'd be different — I've grown apart from who I was.

Before you pack your bags, consider when you should book an all-inclusive vacation and when you should book separately. According to Travelzoo's senior editor Gabe Saglie, booking an all-inclusive vacation package can make the entire trip planning process much easier.

Read previewFor most of President Joe Biden's White House tenure, Republicans have floated theories about the president's health and cast doubt on the veteran Democrat's leadership. Biden sought to use the debate to gain some momentum in a race that for weeks showed him tied with Trump in national polls. In the weeks leading up the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, this is not where the Biden campaign thought it'd be. But the former president is not in the clear in the eyes of the public, despite this week's Supreme Court ruling. Should Biden step aside, a more popular Democrat — backed by a party itching to defeat Trump again — could easily dispatch the former president in November.
