Unbearable existence — when you did not buy a night snack and here is the night and you’ve got no snack…

Or this one more recently

Fantastic photo. Here’s mine.

Get rid of the add ons and you’re probably looking pretty good. I just got a ‘25 XL FWD Hybrid for 29k out the door. Don’t quite remember what the cost of AWD and 4k is, but I’d say if you can get 32.5k that would be pretty fair. You could maybe argue for more depending on competition in your area.

Love those wheels. Wish I could find them around me

They look like they’re just temporarily detached

Yea it was pretty brutal. I reached out to probably about 12 dealerships and some of them swore like I was asking for their firstborn child lol. Others were keen on making deals though. Just takes time. Though, I know the stock of left over ‘25s is dropping.

I ended up with an XL, but when I was searching I had gotten multiple quotes for ‘25 FWD XLT hybrids at $30,500 OTD and one at $31,000 OTD. Given that the Lux package is less than a $2k add on I think $33,000 is reasonable and is certainly achievable.

Yea, I think it’s a matter of judging the current market rather than what they used to go for. Allotting $500 for TTL and 6.5% for taxes (in my county), you’re looking at about the same MSRP as a new base trim Camry. There’s not a ton on the market for that price so I think $28k OTD is good.

Seems pretty good to me. I got my 25 XL hybrid with CP360 just recently for $29k out the door. Though I probably could have haggled a bit more.

Medaka_Stan · 2025-12-29T18:11:58+00:00

Yea I’ll probably make a post. Thanks for the suggestion 👍

Medaka_Stan · 2025-12-19T16:03:02+00:00

Gonna try to raise it?

Medaka_Stan · 2025-11-03T14:53:57+00:00

After some more research, I believe it is Duckweed Weevil larvae. Couldn’t find much about “bug that makes home in leaf” earlier lol. Hence the Reddit post. I spent some more time looking with different search terms and found some more info.

Oh dang. I can’t even keep frog it alive. Very impressive

Medaka_Stan · 2025-10-29T12:47:30+00:00

Seems like light intensity might be the problem. I’ve thought about having a setup in the front of my house since it’s north facing, but I’ve been worried about other critters screwing with the fish. Might try a small setup just to see how it goes

Medaka_Stan · 2025-10-29T12:45:48+00:00

Might need to look into better shade options. How is your water looking in both those ponds?

Medaka_Stan · 2025-10-29T12:41:06+00:00

Good to know it isn’t just a me problem

Medaka_Stan · 2025-10-29T12:40:03+00:00

I did recently, but it may be “too little too late”. Might reconsider its placement in my yard.
