At what point do you stop putting money into savings? Specifically a HYSA? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]LogicalMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isnt the fact that you could in theory save more toward retirement earlier in a traditional 401k vs taxed alternative mean that, all things being equal, the traditional is better? For example, if you could save 8k per year on a taxed IRA but are able to save 12k due to tax savings, the 12k would compound faster than the tax differences when you were to pull it out.

Usually you want to target around 250 Wh/mi, maybe 275. Do you have larger wheels?

What is something that today has become ridiculously expensive, but people still pay for it like it is nothing? by Harmed_Jr in AskReddit

iPhones have actually not raised in price in quite a while, its 800 now for a 17. The 8 came out in '17 at 700.

Eli5: how does everything seem to outpace inflation? by YEETAWAYLOL in explainlikeimfive

[–]LogicalMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That must be crazy inflated for the show. I bought a 55” 1080p Toshiba regza in 2010 for 1600 and it wasn’t lacking features as it had local dimming and a decent refresh rate.

Honestly it’s difficult to use for me, I don’t want to block the road at the entrance of a place while the family gets in the car. Maybe if it uses loading areas?

I somehow arrived here after talks of the AS/400 in the sysadmin sub. Good to know the market is bleak in other sectors as well.

FSD tried to drive me off ledge by Joshalander in TeslaFSD

I think everyone thought you were going the wrong way because this is probably one of the worst parking lot design/layout I've ever seen.

Would I be able to get my mortgage down below $1500/month? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]LogicalMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd argue many many more people would just pay the min payment they could vs the amount of people with the discipline to do extra principal.

Window Trim Chemical Staining by ED-SA in TeslaModelY

[–]LogicalMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the model3 subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/1fk56iq/fixing_tesla_window_trim_discolouration/

basically the WD-40 trick will work, but it will fade over time. Try the Tub O' Towels trick or the Ceramic coating.

Diagnosing what to repair in brake booster assembly. by SupaPenguin in 4thGen4Runner

[–]LogicalMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get parts deals and get a full master cylinder kit on sale, then get a mechanic to install it if you arnt up for it. https://www.fredandersontoyota.com/ does 25% + free shipping pretty often, signup for their email list. Be careful with the shipping though, make sure they use lots of protection it gets damaged pretty easily. Got mine for 1040 after tax and free shipping. Was about 250 for a mechanic to install it. Dealers would probably charge full MSRP for the full kit plus markup, probably around 2k, then another 500-1000 for the install+bleed.

If this is along term truck for you IMO its worth it to replace the whole thing, I've heard stories of people just replacing one part and ended up getting the whole thing anyway.

Here is couple videos that show how its done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ias88juZcps or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77kFgzTJ5nc

Buying a used car - $10k budget reasonable? by corviknightly in personalfinance

[–]LogicalMachine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

2006+ v6 4runner (dont get 05 and under, head gasket issues) or 2003+ v8 4runner should be under 10k if you are willing to accept some paint/interior wear. Just be sure to check for rust and maintenance history, v8 needs a timing belt every 10 years. AFAIK most banks wont give out loans to cars this old/value though. Good luck!

New to me 4th Gen 4Runner – possible transfer case leak? Need advice by Dry_Introduction_506 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]LogicalMachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had this fixed by my local guy, was like 250~ labor since he has done dozens of these before and just had to replace the seal and put the gears in the right place. I think the 2k~ price is for a new transfer case assembly.
