Got inside the garage, this would explain why the door only opens a foot and a half.  And the thing is pointed directly at my one month old Mustang's hood. JFC.

Gonna miss them when I move - there's only one in the entire Austin area, and it's nowhere near where I'll be living. I think most of their Texas locations are in Abilene and DFW. opengl128 posted:Got inside the garage, this would explain why the door only opens a foot and a half.

There's only one place to get tacos around here and while they are good and real tacos, it's $20 for three. We had a Taco Bell, it closed years ago. No fast food taco joints is another reason I hate this city.

8yrs together with my better half this year, known her for 14. We've gone through buying land, having to move in with my parents, waiting to get access to the land, having to change bank lenders, building a house, her going back to uni to retrain as a teacher and financial stress of her not having full time contracts and yet we still havent had an argument. There might be a few snappy words here and there but no arguments. I figure it means we're either 100% compatible with each other, or when we DO have an argument, its going to be so immense the cops will be called!

Haha - I just got a parking fine through for someone else's car which is 1 letter away from the registration plate number of my car from a company who have a really poo poo ANPR system. There is even photographic proof included showing their car which is also a different make, model and colour to mine. I was about to fill in the online appeal form with 'look at the picture you idiots, that is not my car' when I noticed that this fine is 1 day off being 6 months old. UK goons - is there a limit on these things? Should I wait a few days to appeal and try and save the actual owner of the car £60?

Stop wasting water and that should do you till May!  (I've just checked my bill and over the last 165 days I used an average of 120 Litres per day, which means that I could do 83 days on 10,000L) What do you get charged for Water in Aus? (its £1.40/1000L in the UK to supply + £1.20/1000L for them to take it away again)

Mom gave me her waterlogged phone, I was hoping I could coax SOME kind of life out of it. (cat knocked it into the toilet.. thankfully clean) It turns on and goes to "Installing system update....." for a minute, then "Failed", then to the bootloader options screen. Sometimes it just shows the battery charging icon when plugged in, and goes to 100% immediately. But it dies the moment it's unplugged. The googles suggest the power IC is the first thing to fail on these (Samsung Galaxy S6) when they get wet. Apparently people actually solder these tiny rear end chips on to repair phones?!  Whatever controls the charging is still obviously trying to work; my charger has an LED that changes colors once Qualcomm QC is negotiated, and it changes colors a few seconds after the phone comes to life.e: huh, factory reset from the bootloader got it to attempt to boot. Showed the startup animation, played the T-Mobile jingle, now it's just stuck on the T-Mobile logo. Was hoping I could make it do SOMETHING. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Mar 10, 2018 |

InitialDave posted:There might well be - I believe it's in the Protection Of Freedoms Act schedule 4. Oh, I’m definitely going to do the appeal like that. That 14 day limit in the docs is how long they get to query the DVLA. Not how long they have to chase you, though 6 months is a bit unreasonable! I actually sold the car in question 5 1/2 months ago too (and I know the keeper change then as I got the tax refund). You get 14 days to appeal. I might as well drag it out so that when they resend it to the correct owner it is over 6 months and they can pursue that if they feel inclined. If I can lose the parking twats £60 I’ll be happy

We pay bout $550 a year for them to take away as much poo poo as I can squeeze down a 100mm DWV pipe, pay about $2.50 per 1000L for reclaimed water from the sewerage plant for the gardens and flushing toilets. The houses potable water is 100% rain water so if I run out I have to buy it in, and at the moment that’s running about $250 for 9000L It also doesn’t help that our neighbours are doing a massive overhaul of their tank system and sinking underground tanks, so they’re using our water system to supply their house atm (they’re also buying water) so essentially our 45,000L of water storage is having to supply 6 people, 2 kitchens, 4 bathrooms and 2 laundry’s. Not a huge surprise that we’ve blown through 44,000 litre since Christmas

A friend of mine told me this week that he won the lottery a few months ago. Not a major jackpot but $250,000. He doesn't even play the lottery, a friend of his gave him the ticket. He is keeping it 100% secret from that friend. In fact, he kept it secret from everyone he knows until the money was gone. He took the entire after tax winnings and invested it in a house. Not the dumbest thing. But I think he's kind of a dick for not splitting it with the friend who gave it to him. Hell, he didn't share it with anyone. The night he told me we were at dinner, and the check got split between me and his girlfriend. Which is the kind of guy he's always been, so I guess I don't know why I'd expect anything otherwise. Funny thing, the lottery. My daughter saw the powerball billboards when she learned how to read and do math, and she'd get super excited and beg me to play because millions right? So I bought a ticket, and after the drawings I'd show her the numbers and how not a single one matched, because they never do. It only took about 3 tickets for her to realize it definitely wasn't going to happen. The stupid part? I got sort of hooked, and I buy a ticket every time I go to the liquor store now. I tell myself it's no dumber than spending the money on whiskey. But it is; The buzz from whiskey lasts a lot longer than the buzz from checking lottery numbers.

LloydDobler posted:
gently caress that. I don't see why you should be pressured to split it. Yeah, sure, it may show what type of person you are (and your interpretations of that can vary), but there's no reason to be sour. You gave the ticket away - it's not yours anymore, and any winnings are up to the person who won it. That's the risk with gifting lottery tickets. If I'm looking for a dog and a friend gives me theirs because of circumstances or finds one for me at a shelter, then two months in the dog gets cancer, the friend isn't responsible for a portion of the pet bills. When you're gifting an unknown, all possible outcomes (good or bad) are on the person that accepts the gift. That's what giving is. It's very difficult to read anything else without thinking it has a tinge of bitterness and petty thought.

There's a difference between splitting it and hoarding every last penny for mine, mine, mine. The friend that gave it to him would be loving thrilled to have the guy that won toss him $5000 cash and the guy that won doesn't get hurt at all, and ends up looking super generous, and doesn't have people looking at him like he's an rear end. Edit: And telling you, then making you split the check is an enormous dick move. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Mar 10, 2018 |

If a friend gave me a lotto ticket and it won any amount of money, I'd tell them and thank them endlessly. If they asked me for a cut of the money I'd tell them to gently caress right off.

I contest that if he won it, he's not an rear end for keeping it, even 100%. Again, difficult to read anything otherwise without thinking that someone is bitter. And that's placing myself in the shoes of the gifter, not the recipient. You give someone a lottery ticket and they win millions, unfortunately it is just kind of, like, "dang." Otherwise it just kind of looks needy or like a weird form of begging. A gift is a gift.

I'm pretty drat generous, a lotto win wouldn't necessarily be something I'd keep all to myself (there's a few guys at work I'd offer retirement for instance) but I can't stand people who think they're entitled to someone else's winnings.
