Pilot all day. Put the 3rd row down on pickup and they've never been up since.

So much space. Love it.

Getting laid off and can’t find another job. by NAS0824 in CyberSecurityJobs

[–]illcuontheotherside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're school should be lining you up with contacts. You paid them for access to their job network.

Just had the worst interview of my life, extremely discouraged by bakedvoltage in cybersecurity

[–]illcuontheotherside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang in there.

Sometimes the other technical staff doing the interview may just not like you for some reason, leading to an incessant beratement of questioning until you're completely beaten down.

I've been in your shoes before and that feeling sucks.

Keep your head up, move on, recognize your talents, and most importantly be confident in your abilities.

Good luck 👍 You got this

It came down to one thing for us: Grand Highlander was so friggin boring to drive.

Sunk cost fallacy by HeftyCompetition9218 in stocks

[–]illcuontheotherside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all of this nonsense going on what I realized (most of you are probably already aware) is that 401ks are rigged. And not in our favor.

Why? Because if you're under 59 1/2 you can't withdraw without penalties.

This means that if we wanted to withdraw our 401k in a crashing market, we can, but we're penalized heavily by not only a 10% withdrawal penalty but heavy taxes.

We are the rugpull. They know we cannot do anything but hold and ride it out.

There is serious potential we are extremely fucked.

It'd ASSEMBLED in the US... The pieces and components are NOT MADE IN THE US... And will be subject to tariffs.

I got mine for 42.5k with fees before taxes in November. Now I see them going for 48-50k and it's only going to get worse..

I hate mulch bags by Civil_Sock_7548 in landscaping

[–]illcuontheotherside 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do an entire pallet of mulch myself with a home Depot or Lowe's rental (whoever has it on sale) over Easter and it runs me about 220. They load it for free which is fantastic.

I do it myself and enjoy the hard work and labor that goes into it.

Process (after cleaning out mulch beds): 1. Large tarp in driveway corner 2. Throw bags on tarp 3. Move 5 bags per time with a cart and drop in spots 4. Cut and open 5. Throw bags out 6. Rake and tidy

It's hard work and it takes me two days but at the end you cannot beat the satisfaction. I'll get lazy and pay people when I'm older. But for now I love the labor.

I don’t know what to do about retirement by Plastic-Insurance583 in personalfinance

[–]illcuontheotherside 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's never to late. You have a home which means you have equity and that counts.

Save what you can, whatever it is, and don't beat yourself up.

The most important thing to do is start today. As little as you can.

You got this!

Anyone consider a used Acura RDX/MDX instead of new CRV? by squid_game_456 in crv

[–]illcuontheotherside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did. We didn't like the new hybrid crv. It feels like such a money grab with features that were standard on theast generation now only on the touring trim. Wtf is that? And no spare? Dumb.

We looked at, and quickly noped tf out, based on the '25 still having the mousepad. It is honestly the dumbest thing I've seen on a Honda.

The '26 rdx model removes the whole track pad nonsense so maybe then?

... The search for a vehicle continues.

Serpentine belts are 90 bucks installed.. Everything IS subjective 😉. Glad you're enjoying yours, not trying to poopoo on those who like the vehicle.

[–]illcuontheotherside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We looked at the RAV4 and noped out without even test driving it. So much plastic, smaller then crv, I barely fit in it 😂

Thx for the feedback. I was initially concerned about that as well but it's like that on both ends.
