Off Topic 2011

Re: Off Topic 2011

I read the e-mail where he (or somebody typing for him) apologized to Dave, the customer. I haven't seen the apology to the Penny Arcade founder.

Still, the guy is a bull****ter. I don't see how he made it past the interview process, much less to a point where he has this much clout. He's basically ruined this company's product.


What exactly is the product supposed to do?

Anyway, it is amazing to me how much they've found out about the guy in a day's time. They've gone from youtube videos to message boards.

Here's the review, looks like something FPS players would buy.

Never have to pay for a case of beer again.

Did she stick a grappling hook up there first before making the haul? How is she walking around so nonchalantly after that?

Re: Off Topic 2011

So I went and had my car checked out today for the damage from my brother's accident as well as to look for some new tires. The good news: even though my car desperately needs 4 new tires, I may not have to get them replaced. The bad news: the reason is that based on the value of my car and how much I have left on my loan for it, the damage might be extensive enough to consider the car "totaled" so that I'd have to get a new car. I'm dropping the car off at the shop a week from next Monday so they can start going through it in more detail to get a better idea of what needs to be done. But still, ****. Too much hassle for me and at the wrong time since I start my new job next week.

If so, how coordinated would one have to be to know exactly what their fingers back there are hitting?

Well then...

Re: Off Topic 2011

Today has been a pretty eventful day.

1. It is snowing and very windy outside.

2. I seen 15 Suburau and around 6 Tacomas driving around town today running errands. Over all though I seen 30 pick up trucks, seems like every other vehicle was either a pick up truck of some kind or a Surbaru.

3. Even though it is only 30 degrees, you had your die hard skanks out there wearing skirts with leather cowboy boots.

4. McDonalds had quarter pounders for 99 cents today. Car line was wrapped around the parking lot.

5. Got the zipper replaced on 2 coats today, took them only 15 minutes.

6. Price of gas is $3.30 cents a gallon, around Thanksgiving it was $3.87 a gallon.

What kind of car?

If it means anything, you can re-build the title, it would be a salvaged title but if you plan on keeping the car, then it's a good way to save some money.

Gas went up for us after Christmas. It was $2.88 a gallon, and now it's jumped to $2.99. I do like that the highest it's ever gotten here is $3.99. I've yet to pay more than that per gallon.

Upstate New York it was $4.37 a gallon back in October and for most of the spring and summer it hovered around the $4 mark. Which is why I refuse to buy gas in upstate New York unless I REALLY have to.

Oh how I miss the days when it was 90 cents a gallon when I was in high school and only $1.30 a gallon when I was in college.

Because I only slept for 3 hours last night and in order to stay woke when I am driving, I count vehicles when I pass them.

It's a 2007 Civic. I don't know what re-building the title means but if the shop discovers more extensive damage during their repair process than what was appraised for by the insurance company, insurance will add the extra value to my claim. But idk how much they would value my car at if it ends up being not worth it to fix.

$2.99 here.

Around here gas is about $3.15 a gallon. Hasn't really been higher than I'd say $3.30 since the summer.

What do you do? Sounds like you need to be an accountant.

You can total out the car, receive payment from insurance, then get your car fixed. (most of the time for much cheaper than appraised)

Oh ok. Well the shop owner is a family friend so he'll let me know all of my options once I get the car in there and he's able to take a closer look at all the damage.
