angryrobots posted:Got my "loan paid in full" notice from the bank yesterday, on my wife's cr-v. Woop woop. Typically the title is proof of ownership so the bank physically holds it, when you receive it it should be stamped with some form of "lien released" or similar. Depending on your bank it may take some time before you receive it, it took my bank over four months to release the title and that was after making a call a week for the last month.

InitialDave posted:Yeah, Enourmo, I've probably failed more exams than you've taken. But things like degrees are a ratchet, once you get up that next click, you're good, how and how long don't matter any more. Then get yourself in the door somewhere, and it becomes about your capability, people have seen too many imbeciles with massive theoretical knowledge and great qualifications who can't actually do anything. Get that inertia of being known as competent and things just kind of roll along with or without the qualification. This is absolutely true. I'm in my mid-30's, spent more than a decade in kitchens, and now have a great job with an excellent IT company because I was willing to learn fast and work hard. It may not be glamorous, but once you're in the door it's all about what you can prove to them you can do rather than what's on your resume. I've failed out of college twice now thanks to being dirt poor and needing to chose between classes and eating, still don't have a degree, and make almost double the median wage for my state now. I'm still busting my rear end to make sure that when it comes time for my next review, they want to give me more money to keep me. Gotta catch up, after all. It'd be nice to own a house someday, and I'm fifteen years behind in starting a 401k so I don't end up in a run-down state nursing home when I get old.

I'm wondering if an actual state issued title was ever printed...we bought the car new so I assume if the bank had anything it was the certificate of origin provided by Honda? I'm thinking either I get nothing (bank sends CO to DMV and they record the release of lien; I have to request a printed title) or the DMV sends me a new title in the next couple weeks.

So I just road raged on hardcore and I have no idea why. I had to run back to work and fix something real quick and on the return trip I passed some cars in the left lane and a truck (turned out to be an Avalanche) started riding my rear end, honking and flashing his lights. So I hit it and pulled away but he persisted. I got to my exit and barely hit the brakes and well, he must have thought he was driving a different car because he took the exit curve at full speed and ran right off the highway. I have no idea if they wrecked or are dead. gently caress em.

So a 2006 Cobalt LTZ with 85k is worth $8k, right? Old roommates said they're picking it up tomorrow. 25% APR, buy here pay here lot. And I thought I overpaid for my Ionry (which is pretty much the same car). angryrobots posted:I'm wondering if an actual state issued title was ever printed...we bought the car new so I assume if the bank had anything it was the certificate of origin provided by Honda? FWIW, my registration said "electronic title on file" until I paid my car off. Pretty sure the bank didn't have a physical copy of the title; once it was paid off I got a paper title with no lienholder.

I almost ripped the back of a pizza guy's car off pulling into a plaza earlier. I was coming off the mainroad which basically requires making a u-turn; I paused to make sure it was clear, then carried forward. Suddenly he loving guns backwards out of his spot it when it's too late for me to stop, like seriously if I hadn't been looking straight at him when he started moving I physically could not have reacted in time. We both slammed our brakes, came to a stop with me blocking him in, him a blond oval office hair away from my front fender. He tried aggressively waving me back until he realized there were like 4 cars behind me coming off the road (because that's how parking lot entrances work) , punched his roof and pulled back in so I could drive past. Like, guy, I get your job makes you rush, but it's gonna be a shitload worse if you run into someone due to carelessness. If he'd been easing out of his spot when I turned I would have waited for him.' Drivers R dum, news at 11.

Someone elsewhere asked me to clarify, this is basically what happened. The red line is the route I took. The blue line is where the truck went. If memory serves there's a pretty big ditch in that direction, right before the northbound on ramp.

Shitposting from 40k feet. The A380 is pretty schwank. And Dubai is basically the answer to the question: "What do I do with a strip of desert and more billions than I know what to do with?" Also, the Burj Khalifa is nuts. We had light aircraft flying around below us. And we werent even at the top.

Athletic tape works wonders for your wrists man, you wouldn't think tape would help but it really supports your wrists and prevents injuries, just look at all the MLB and NFL players that use it.
