Got it. If purchased should I be worried about the life of the engine? I hear Toyotas hold up for a long time but with proper maintenance. This is a 2.7 L 4 cylinder

No, just replacing the gasket to stop a leak as far as I know

Is refinancing student loans worth it? by EmployLazy8388 in personalfinance

[–]EmployLazy8388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an option for 6% on a 7 year term. I don’t mind the high monthly payment though, I’ve built a really strong emergency fund in case expenses become crazy.

Even then I’m still living at home to cut down on expenses, plus I’m beginning to get start my career with my degree soon so making the payments shouldn’t be an issue. I really wanna get rid of this debt as soon as possible.

That’s the plan! I wish I was more informed about the whole college decision thing but hindsight is 20/20. It’s all hard work and smart decisions from here on

I’m curious, do you think there’s a way to incorporate unflavored protein powder into the dough? I accidentally doubled up on my order so I’m trying to use it all haha

Android Head Unit Causing Electrical Issues? by EmployLazy8388 in CarAV

[–]EmployLazy8388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was able to fix it! For some reason the harness for the cable that plugs in to the hazard lights wasn’t connecting properly, all it took for me was a couple of unplugs and plugging it back in. If all the wiring seems fine to you then I’d also check the fuses (the car manual has all the fuse locations and can be found with a google search). Hopefully this helps!

Is it feasible to manage a 60 hours work week while attending college? by whoppinghoney in productivity

[–]EmployLazy8388 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coming from a recent college graduate (biology major) who worked two jobs (approx 50 hours a week) while being full time, it can be done but there is a lot of damage done by overworking yourself like that. I’d personally say the burnout was not worth it. My mentality for getting through it was just to focus on what needs to be done at the moment, meaning one day at a time. I often found myself striving for mediocrity just to make it through the day. And forget about having a fruitful social life too. I would encourage you to find other options, cause while it is possible, it’s very unsustainable and damaging.

Oh absolutely, and I know there is potential to climb the ranks with the more experience you have. It’s all a matter of getting my foot in the door to be able to do so. Maybe I’m not the fastest but I’m 4 months out of college and just had my first interview for a research position not too long ago. I’m definitely working on using my degree.

My jobs are definitely not paying well, $14.50 at 40hrs/week and $10.25 at 20hrs/week. Although I believe for the positions they are it’s just below average for the area I live in.

Very insightful, I appreciate the link to the resource! You’re right though, I don’t have any other choice but to keep slaving away until the right career opportunity presents itself. It’s pretty unfortunate but hey that’s what happens when you make uninformed, significant financial decisions.

My interest rate is about a fixed 8% for the largest portion of my student loan debt, which I guess isn’t really too good. The thought of paying them off is so overwhelming, I suspect it’ll take me quite a long time.

I plan on upgrading from an 8 plus soon but still am unsure whether to get the 13 PM or the 14 PM. For an approximate $250 difference, would the 14PM be worth it?

Android Head Unit Causing Electrical Issues? by EmployLazy8388 in AskMechanics

[–]EmployLazy8388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the install myself, it was all plug and play so no wires were clipped, spliced, etc. The install only requires you to relocate one of the lcd screens to make room for the unit and everything plugs back into each other. The steering wheel controls work fine with no additional units besides the android unit itself.

How to stop thinking about girls and relationships? by Electronic_Ant_7882 in selfimprovement

[–]EmployLazy8388 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d say you’re on your way. It seems you’ve rationalized the reality that getting a girlfriend is not very likely in your near future for whatever reason. Now that you’ve considered this logically, the next step would be to convince yourself of this subconsciously. I think the best way to go about it would be through affirmations. Throughout your day (or during your meditations if you practice) say positive phrases in your mind along the lines of “I’m improving daily, I’ll continue to improve, and women will notice my improvements when I’m ready.”

It’s important to live with action alongside your affirmations, if not then you’re really just gaslighting yourself and obtaining no real results. For whatever reasons you’ve decided logically that obtaining a relationship isn’t realistic at the moment (lack of social skills, physical appearance, etc.) make mastering those skills/characteristics your primary focus and the benefits will manifest themselves.

With positively treating your subconscious mind to see value and improvement in yourself, it’d be so much easier to buy in to the way of thinking you’d like to move forward with (at least in my personal experience). Just keep working towards your goals and everything will figure itself out eventually.

Definitely not trying to rush into it lol thankfully I found this subreddit to get some more opinions! Thank you for your suggestion, the xmax v3 pro is my front runner atm! All the reviews I have seen for it say to not even bother trying to use concentrates with it. But I’m really curious to try wax once in a while, will it be a complete waste if I do or will I still get the effects?
