The Locator posted:Because of my commute I replace, on average, a windshield every 18 months or so. Full glass coverage is mandatory! In my province, windshield damage is so common that glass coverage either doesn't include windshields or costs more (in premiums, never mind the deductible) than replacing 1.5 windshields a year. It's probably only worth it if you have a hard-to-get windshield like a Subaru SVX. I'm pretty tolerant of windshield cracks, but everything I own needs a replacement this summer.

Windshield chat reminds me of that time when there was a deluge of telemarketing calls here for auto glass replacement. The pitch invariably started with "Do you have a cracked or chipped windshield?". ~~~~~~~~~ "Yeah, but the car is stolen so I don't care" ~~~~~~~~~ "Yes, actually. Maybe you can help. It's a 1963 Jaguar 3.8l sedan...... No, not XKE. S-type. Sedan..... Okay, great. Call me back when you find out. a week later my daughter answers the phone: "Hello? Jaguar??? boy do you have a wrong number" a couple days later I answer and, "I can get a windshield for your Jaguar shipped from England for $XXXXXX" "Oh, thanks but nevermind. I found a good one in the wrecking yard for 50 bucks. Bye" ~~~~~~~~~ and the best: Son answers the phone "Hello?....No, but I have a crack in my rear end. Can you fix that?"

Maker Of Shoes posted:Someone left the loving Death Star laying on the US 60 so it inevitably sky rocketed nowhere else other than my loving windshield. 99.9% sure I have glass coverage on a new car lets call my provider to double check. NOPE. Yeah, my bad for not making sure months ago but its one of those things thats an easy upsell for customers upgrading cars within the same policy. Silver lining is that its not insane to replace, 300 bucks out the door but I'm still crazy irritated by the whole thing as that was money that didn't need to be spent. That happened to somebody I knew and they changed their policy for one with glass coverage and lived with the chip for 6 weeks to avoid suspicion.

Yeah don't be afraid to lift weights. Just don't try to be a powerlifter maybe, and make sure your form is good. I do a lot of bike riding so I'm pretty thin and in pretty good shape, but this winter I finally got around to lifting some weights. I definitely feel and look a little better than usual, and am getting fairly close to my goal race weight. I'll be 35 in a few months- the only thing you'll regret is not starting earlier.

I'm with Progressive and any time I've made vehicle changes or policy changes over the past 15 years they've never not once ever asked to see any of the cars. Not. Once.

But he did come see the car.

It's probably only worth it if you have a hard-to-get windshield like a Subaru SVX. Here it's both an inexpensive addon, and protected by state law so glass claims can't be used to raise rates. Yeah it's a must have here.

dee eight posted:I just took a semi drunken stroll to the corner store and back and passed a thing on the way. I have awesome memories of that car, my grandma bought one new and had it for 30 years. I had a chance to take it for $1500 back in the 90's but my ex wife said no, and the truth is I had nowhere to put it. But it still makes me sad that I let a one owner family classic go to a stranger. You're not in the Portland area are you? TV chat: I agree curved screens are stupid for a living room, but I got a pair of 27" curved monitors at work and I loving love them. When you're the only viewer and sitting in one spot, the way they wrap around is really cool.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:did you miss my point lifting heavy things is not only done by older people but it also is good for you? Since we're throwing out anecdotes, old people at my gym don't lift heavy weights, usually they just cardio and very light stuff. Often very odd looking "exercises" with free weights that make me scratch my head.  Even with good form, lifting heavy isn't for me. Christ, my hips are already metal and I've already had one back surgery.  Granted, none of that was from weight lifting but as I get older, I'm trying to take it easier on my body since it's already past its prime (still only 32 currently, haha) and not going to get any better as I age. You can still do resistance training without it, and that's good enough to make me huff and puff.

loving CHRIST I hate this senior design team. Can't wait to be loving done with this horseshit, at least when I'm on to the next thing there's a chance of getting along with the new people, instead of dealing with the same abrasive, arrogant dickhead forever. E: At least our loving poo poo works now, but this dude just came back from vacation and is all like "Oh yeah, guess you guys were doing it wrong the other day, good thing I'm here to save you. Oh the instructions from the manufacturer said to do it [X] way? Well I talked to the company owner on the phone and he said to do it [Y] way, so you guys still hosed up and I'm awesome  "

It's probably only worth it if you have a hard-to-get windshield like a Subaru SVX. It's odd, I had to replace my Mustang's windshield within a month of buying it, and then not so much as a chip for the remainder of the 8 years I owned it. I got really lucky with that one. The trophy still has to go to my Dad, who managed to collect a giant loving rock chip during a 5-minute test drive of a BMW X5. I laughed so hard.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Age doesnt come into it and as I said it even slows down aging / bone denity loss / muscle loss. I used to do 200lb+ squats and stopped doing it because I tweaked a knee really bad, even when I use less weight i was having issues. also deadlifts were starting to gently caress with my back so I noped out of those too. It had everything to do with age because when i was younger I never had that problem. Father time is a bitch aint it.

OZYMANDICKASS posted:Man these boots are gonna own in like 6 months Get some dubbin and use it!. On my new Doc's I used the D.M. "wonder balsam" fancy dubbin and then left them by a warm radiator for a couple of days for it to soak in. Repeat after wearing them for a day. It makes loads of difference and got them comfy after 2 days and broken in after a week. I found that going to a few busy metal gigs also helped  spog posted:That happened to somebody I knew and they changed their policy for one with glass coverage and lived with the chip for 6 weeks to avoid suspicion. I was seriously considering this when my screen got cracked, but then I rang around more and managed to get the price of the replacement screen down a lot further. In my case a replacement screen cost £190 all in. The cheapest insurance that included glass coverage was about £200 more than the one I currently have without it - but there was still a £75 or £100 excess to pay for screen replacement.

Caught the bug going around our office. I haven't been this wrecked by a head cold in years. Can barely look at the screen because of the headache/light sensitivity. Drinking whisky because I'm not sure I could feel much worse right now. lol This will probably backfire on me.
