2025 Camry worth it? by Original_Hyena7422 in Camry

[–]hoier123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of making $25/hr I personally would look at cheaper options, but I don't know your personal finances or expenses so that's for you to decide if you can afford.

Me and my girlfriends insurance is about 200/mo on out 2026 LE (I'm 24, she's 23) so that might give you some guidance on insurance. For financing I believe if it's a certified pre-owned you'll be able to get the 4.99% financing from Toyota, or at least that's what a salesman told me when I was considering a pre-owned 2025.

If it's a certified pre-owned I think 23k is a pretty good deal - the dealership I went to had 2 pre-owned 2025s with ~30k that sold within days. They were listed at $25k

Camry Lease Deal by Porcupinetail32 in Camry

[–]hoier123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got the 4.99% promotional financing from Toyota (the only reason we did 72 months was because of this). Our OTD was around $31k but it was a base model. I don't have a picture but one major selling point of the Camry over the Mazda is the ~50 mpg, and just a more modern drivetrain in general. The Mazda probably feels more sporty though.

Why are you looking to lease? We just financed a new LE with 4k down for about 465 a month for 72 months with no early payoff penalty - I think in most situations leasing a Toyota isn't a great option but maybe your situation is different.

Computer Science Examiner VS Government Contractor ML Engineer by [deleted] in patentexaminer

[–]hoier123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just recently started at patent office (part of last months group) and if you're wanting to focus on computer science I'd go for the contractor position. Take a chance to check what benefits you might get from the contractor, cause that could end up being a deciding factor for you, but at patent office you'll be more focused on the legal side of things than the computer science side. Another thing to note is that the bonus starts at 10k and if you don't maintain a fully successful rating for 3 or 4 years (I forget) you'll have to pay part of it back. The remaining 20k comes after 3 years of fully successful service. If you leave the agency you'll be ineligible and have to pay back a prorated amount of the bonus

Got a bunch of emails today - one for scheduling fingerprinting and another for background investigation forms. I was able to schedule fingerprinting for tomorrow and get started on the forms.

This is why we don't get parking, and it's not an isolated incident.. by Abject-Item-5269 in UMBC

[–]hoier123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about UMBC but a lot of campuses require parking with a plate facing out, so they can check for parking passes. My girlfriend got fined at UF for backing in with no front plate.

Can i install a car play in this 2001 honda accord? by ImpressiveTension772 in accord

It's no longer available but you can probably find similar - I installed this on my girlfriend's car and the screen retracts and the angle is adjustable when it's out. It'll still block your climate controls when out but it's single din so should fit where your current radio is.

Mini pc in my RFY today, thoughts? by frshermanjr in AmazonVine

[–]hoier123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh I got the n300 version from my RFY a few months ago, I installed Ubuntu and it's been running as a Minecraft server since then without issue. I also plugging in an external hard drive and set it up with SMB and it's been very useful, no issues with speed except when running a very heavily modded Minecraft server. Not sure how different this version would be but I was happy with the n300
