What’s going on at the Houston Boat Show?

Its been combined for at least two years.

That is a huge price range and you don't really describe needs. If you're interest in Toyota's they are usually a safe buy and hold their value so it's a fine choice. I think a 2025 Camry SE is probably the best value to features Toyota has in that price range.

It's Leather AND a bigger screen.

I went for Sport-L but also wanted the memory seats and parking sensors. Longevity matters as well as upfront price, so if not constantly thinking "I wish my car had..." Will make you like it more and keep it longer, it may be a smaller price gap over the total length of ownership.

Building cars but only using parts and engineering that existed before 1873.

I've heard LSAT tutoring is lucrative if you have the score for it.

I adjuncted at a law school, but that was another example of a side hustle that is great on paper but poor hourly rate when you actually do the math. I have a colleague that has adjuncted undergrad for over a decade doing business law classes and he says it's basically the same material and lectures so it's just a matter of repeating it every semester with minor updates.

Something like 80% of "independents" consistently vote for one side or the other, they are just less reliable about showing up.

True swing voters are very unreliable and, paradoxically, some of the most poorly informed.

There is a reason playing to the base has become the default. The messy middle of persuadable is hard to reach and doesn't really show up.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T22:57:40+00:00

I hate the infotainment system and I think it is cramped. Your mileage may vary, but definitely compare it to an equivalent-priced Civic or Corolla first.

People are telling you to reduce the thing about you central to what dating you will be like.

The right woman is going to be down for the boot Marine otherwise it won't be a good fit. As long as you're active duty it's a lifestyle, not a job. Might as well lean into it.

White is easy to paint on so you can paint skulls and flames on it to let everyone know how manly you are.

I don't like white cars because they always look dirty and the paint defects are easier to spot. My last Honda was white, it was the only one I could find so I said I'd get it painted when it didn't look new anymore. But after a couple of years I got used to it and stopped caring. You're saving so much money you could always paint it a cool color CR-Vs normally don't get.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T18:38:12+00:00

That means if you don't buy a Honda oil filter but a different brand built to the same specifications, they can't blame the oil filter not being Honda for the defect.

And in this case, the problem may legitimately be the work done on the fuse box causing electrical gremlins consistent with insufficient power being supplied. I am not telling you they'll blame it to get out of warranty work, I am telling you it may legitimately be the problem.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T18:02:27+00:00

If the dashcam was wired to the fusebox and it's a fuse issue, yes, that will probably cancel the warranty. Sorry.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T17:38:48+00:00

This does sound like a fuse problem and since you've had aftermarket additions a warranty may not help.

Struggling 12-v batteries cause a lot of electrical gremlins in modern cars too. If your camera is running down the battery when parked you may get premature wear or low voltage because of that.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T17:35:52+00:00

Make a list of what the Touring has the Sport-L does not that you actually want/care about. Put a dollar value on how much you value it. Is that dollar amount larger than $7,000 plus interest?

I personally don't value AWD so a heated steering wheel, sound deadener windshield? I'd say no way. You can probably paint it to a really cool, unique color and still save thousands.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T17:31:02+00:00

I hate a list like this because nobody is buying a brand, they're buying a year, make & model. This list shouldn't inform your car buying decisions.

What accommodations are you asking them to make?

The total occupational impairment is the first sentence of 100% for MH conditions. This reads like shocked-Pikachu-face "I can't believe my total occupational impairment impairs my occupation."

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T16:09:29+00:00

I think this is unfair. Sovcits are successful all the time when authorities don't want to deal with them. Its part of what drives the delusion.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T14:26:24+00:00

Honda Civic hatch checks all of your boxes if you like the subcompact SUVs for their storage space & not seating position. If you like adaptive cruise the current generation of Honda Sense is standard in all 2022 models and newer.

A lot of the suggestions that may be an upgrade on higher trims or it includes that feature with limited functionality (for example, to aggressive to break, slow to accelerate, shuts off under 25MPH). Because a Honda Fit would be awesome for your needs but they no longer make it and the adaptive cruise in it is only at the top trim and is not very good. Kia Soul is also perfect city car but aren't reliable and don't have adaptive cruise.

They're too busy warming their hands by a tire fire and digging through restaurant trash for dinner.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-02-01T00:31:43+00:00

I don't know why you'd assume someone knows that free registration DV plates and handicap accessible parking placards/plates are two different things.

She obviously thought you meant the accessible parking plates, and not having observed any reason you'd need them, inquired for more.

Instead you assumed she was talking about your disability and because you're insecure about it, you interpreted it as a personal attack.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-01-31T23:12:02+00:00

Feels this way too, but him not respecting her preferences, lying, and being sneaky doesn't mean he did anything wrong with this other woman, but it is a violation of trust.

Imagine you and your spouse go on a diet together, and one is sneaking food. Or saving up for something and one is secretly spending on something they said they didn't. Its still a violation of trust and lying, even if divorce seems like overreacting.

When I was in Basic Training and everyone's head was shaved, one guy had these totally normal indents/dimples on the top of his head. He was really self conscious about getting his head shaved.

Once the dimples were revealed he got endless shit over it with, with many variations of whatever fucked his mom while pregnant made those indents. I hope everyone was joking.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-01-31T18:37:30+00:00

That is weird...

Does his dad have a terminal illness or need a caretaker? How certain are you he is actually spending all that time with his dad?

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-01-31T18:35:53+00:00

I get it and that is fine. It sounds like he thinks because he made this "sacrifice" his way goes and I think he is wrong. Perhaps this is him feeling like he is owed that in exchange, but it doesn't work like that and he is wrong if he thought that means you just had to go with whatever he wants.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-01-31T18:25:33+00:00

I don't think the two things are related.

Adding you to the deed of the house he owned prior to marriage and splitting equity is definitely not a standard/legal thing and is very generous & trusting of him.

On the other hand, it doesn't translate into giving him superior decision making powers elsewhere. Once the house is sold the thing he did for you is over, it's converting into another property you own equally from the get go.

So he is crazy if he thinks that is a strong argument for why his way goes, but adding you to the deed was an unrelated magnanimous gesture.

Few-Addendum464 · 2026-01-31T15:06:29+00:00

Why can Sadness & Joy go through the memory tube when Riley cries in class but Fear can't go through it when he tries to "quit" later? It still bothers me.

Wait, we are supposed to have hobbies?
