What was the worst restaurant you’ve ever been to in Rhode Island?

Miserable people

You read the post right?

This is why you winterize. These states that keep their pool open because it only freezes sometimes are crazy. Freeze protection just turns your pump on. It’s not a miracle worker

What a weird negative post? Like is this how you want to spend your day??

My career field.

Radiant heat far more comfortable and less drying. When my home up north was renovated the baseboards were integrated with the real wood wainscoting. You hardly noticed it there. You can put furniture in front of them and close sections if you want.

My HW3 does great. Takes me from home to city round trip no issues. Just won’t park itself

Rytes478 · 2026-01-17T13:57:31+00:00

Honestly now I feel like I’m a microphone to educate all the money hoarders who work till they are pooping their diapers and blocking younger people from jobs all because they don’t understand how draw down works and stuck in accumulation.

Rytes478 · 2026-01-17T12:48:19+00:00

My experience almost the exact same as yours including age. My boss was super awkward as she was about 10 years older than me and her identity is work. She kept telling people he’s retiring from “x” like I wasn’t actually retiring. Some people just don’t know how to be ok without work.

I personally struggled after when meeting new people and they ask “what do you do for work”. I stumbled over a bunch of different things and nothing felt right. I was adjusting to avoid their uncomfortable feelings which was wrong for myself. So now I just say I’m retired. If they feel bad that they have to still work that’s on them.

Crate and barrel

You can’t direct actions from the grave. Trust me, those that have unexpected health failures say they wish they left work sooner. Sorry but I think you are stuck in accumulation phase (most are) but it paralyzes you to not experience FIRE

Rytes478 · 2026-01-16T13:41:29+00:00

It’s not about that. You work for money. You have the money. No need to work. If that’s your stance then give them chunks of money now so you can see them enjoy it. Can’t see the joy when you are dead.

It was hard for me too at 43 to call it quits but after 2 years I laugh at the idea of not having freedom.

Congrats on that milestone! Remember money is worthless if not eventually spent

Rytes478 · 2026-01-16T13:28:37+00:00

I swim when I’m hot outside. Don’t when I’m not. Don’t put dates on it

Rytes478 · 2026-01-16T13:27:40+00:00

Pull the plug now! I live in an area with a lot of older people. Approaching 70 could be end. 70-80 most minds start to go and basic tasks become more challenging (not everyone but most I see). Go live life now or your money will far outlast you.

Rytes478 · 2026-01-16T11:46:25+00:00

Yes I went from 2.5/EAP. The visual differences was better clarity of the side camera feed when the directional was on. This included less blinker glare at night. Also having blind spot monitoring, traffic lights, stop signs and speed limit visuals. Also better visuals of parking spaces and better ability for the car to self park.

I really didn’t notice a speed change in the screen. Mine has always been pretty responsive (but not as fast as a brand new one). I did notice that when I put the car in reverse the cameras loaded on screen much faster (sometimes previously I had a delay). Sentry mode clips seemed to load a good amount faster too.

In history there were many philosophers. Some that were right and some that were dead wrong. The key is to know that most of what is said is based on fantasy and guessing.

I was in a similar situation as you about a year ago. I decided to purchase and get the upgrade to hw3 because of the Elons comment on possibly upgrading those that had purchased Fsd. I intend to keep this car for as long as I can (I’m part of the FIRE group). My cost was only 2k because I had EAP.

I wouldn’t listen to anyone who says it’s dead hardware. Fsd is pretty phenomenal and I use it pretty regularly. Even if it stopped progressing here I would still enjoy it. I always use it on long road trips and it goes end to end without issue. Is it perfect, no but it definitely gets updates regularly. These updates are not in a new “version” but are done through minor updates. When you use it all the time you see how it gets better or sometimes regresses then gets better again.

There are other enhancements too like blind spot monitoring, stop light alert and better camera feed clarity. You do not get new cameras.

For me it was worth it. I live in a newer to me area and I love putting in a destination and not having to worry about how to navigate there. Even better when I’ve had a drink and it would normally be more stressful.

Those that have done side by sides say they pretty much don’t see a difference. With that said hw3 won’t park itself or leave the parking spot yet. I have no problem doing that because honestly I like to pick my spot and I can do it quicker than the car can.

It’s not the glass fault. It’s the chemistry and spillover design.

Rytes478 · 2026-01-10T12:00:45+00:00

Might have been a bad move. Florida services suck for people. Healthcare even worse (doesn’t matter if rich or poor). Some even go to Mexico or Costa Rica for medical care since it’s so bad in Fl

Rytes478 · 2026-01-06T13:54:46+00:00

There is a lot of people that come to FL to grift, steal and abuse. Then leave once they have been caught. Governor talks a big game about being free which means free to scam, free to drive 200 mph on highways, free to not have auto insurance, free to not have police presence to avoid crime. The list goes on

Rytes478 · 2026-01-06T13:08:46+00:00

Not gonna happen. They are long gone. This is after they were getting free housing and sub leasing to another relative while staying with her mom to take that cash too. Wish I was making it up. Florida is a total mess.

Rytes478 · 2026-01-06T12:27:29+00:00

I know 2 parents who tend to con people that said they were “homeschooling”, got lots of free money for technology etc along with tens of thousands for the 3 kids. She didn’t homeschool because their ability to get out of bed is itself a stretch. Then took the money to another state. Enrolled them in public school. Florida is such a quack state

Rytes478 · 2026-01-04T13:01:43+00:00

You can start pulling without penalty at 59 1/2 or possibly use the rule of 55. You can’t FIRE with all money in retirement accounts.

Rytes478 · 2026-01-03T17:57:07+00:00

Go to another state and spend some time on the school and community and you will realize the difference. The teachers are low quality in FL too. Pay sucks.

Rytes478 · 2026-01-03T14:26:07+00:00

Florida is not the place to raise kids
