Mocking Bird posted:gently caress yes someone post more about the bogwitch, I loved that poo poo so much She hasn't done anything super BWM in a while that I know of. The closest things are that she has spent a decent amount (I have no idea how much, but it is over $2,000) on "saving a Witch's Garden" next to her house. There are two lots next to her house that are owned by the city and are adjacent to a park. She tore down the city's fence and slowly took the lots over several years ago and now is in a dispute with the city about how much of it she owns and what to do about the stuff she added to the lot. This is the same house that they got into a fight with the city about because they disconnected it from the electrical grid without a permit and eventually had to relent and hire an electrician to hook them back up. She is doing that by blocking the city maintenance crew from performing landscaping on the lots next to her while she tries to get them declared abandoned and agrees to maintain them to prevent them from becoming a danger or public nuisance. She's been "seeding" the area with fungal spores of the many shrooms she collects for her tinctures. So, this might end up being GWM if she can either hide the mushrooms from the city or convince them that they are safe for kids to be around. The other thing is that she is trying to crowdfund a nature/beard/witch music festival. But she isn't putting any money into it herself except whatever the permit costs. They initally tried to fund the event 100% through bartering and paying the vendors and acts in "exposure," but that fell through almost immediately.   Bonus: Her newest stick and poke.

Twerk from Home posted:My mother in law has a 2006 Civic that's had tons of repair and maintenance dollars spent on it, and it's still a huge piece of poo poo. No car lasts forever, and hers has 260k miles on it. Mid 2000s is old enough that the interior is falling apart on just about anything though. Headliner falling down, pretty much everything in the suspension replaced, whole cooling system, A/C work. Is it worth $1500/year in repairs for a $2k car? You tell me. Yeah the thing is at some point a car's value gets so low that any repairs on it that aren't explicitly going to keep it running become not worth it. It's why so many older cars don't have functional A/C, it just isn't worth it to fix it (unless you live in Florida or something). I have several beaters that are complete pieces of poo poo but mechanically sound. And having a spare car is pretty useful, especially if you wreck your primary means of transportation. It gives you some time to look and get a good deal rather than having to buy a car RIGHT loving NOW OH GOD I NEED TO GET TO WORK I NEED A CAR like so many people do.

Cold on a Cob posted:Anywhere that goes below -10°C is going to rely much more on sanding roads. They do both here. I really wish they wouldn't salt because it absolutely destroys cars that are susceptible to rust. Two of my old cars used galvanized steel for the body and two did not and holy poo poo you can tell a difference. No rust after twenty and thirty years respectively on the two, while the other two are honestly probably not very structurally sound anymore.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:fortunately small frontal overlap crashes with non-deformable objects at the speeds IIHS tests are not terribly common so i wouldn't go out there and spend money i didn't have on a new car to get better small overlap performance I think you'd be surprised how often this has happened. Many car companies will design their car to perform well in a standard crash test, even if it means in a real-world crash it will perform worse. I think Volvo is about the only one I can think of that really goes above and beyond (and they're pretty vocal about it). They do similar things with fuel economy. It's why you can almost never match what the window sticker says - the engine and transmission and computers controlling them were designed to pass the standard loop very well, even though that isn't very representative of most people's actual drive cycles. It's been pretty BWM for VW lately.

They use sugar beet juice in the roads in Fargo, ND and sand at intersections that need extra help. The beet juice really helps ice melt at low temps, from the ground up. It smells awful though.

I really don't think there are many changes in performance that benefit test performance but not real-world. In the small overlap case, it just means that the car performs better in drivers side small overlap collisions but not in passenger side. Reinforcing the driver's side did not make passenger side performance worse.

Louis XVI of France has shown that a man can be a good person in his private life while simultaneously bringing bankruptcy, malnutrition, war, chaos and ruin to a nation of millions through terrible political beliefs and total incompetence. Hell, the entire reason they called the Estates General was to deal with the incredibly BWM decisions of the late Bourbon monarchy. For example, the French people did not believe the monarchy was bankrupt in 1789 because of the Compte rendu au roi, a report that showed the "full" financial condition of the monarchy in 1781. But the Compte rendu only included ordinary expenditures, so it said that the government was 7.3 million livres in the black. But they had just classified all the government war loans as extraordinary expenditures. With those included, the government was 160 million livres in the red. golden bubble fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jul 24, 2018 |

A variety of mineral salts of chlorine are used as road de-icing and anti-icing agents including rock salt NaCl; all of them are corrosive by their very nature. I would be interested to know if there is any objective data regarding the prevalence of rust on vehicles in Colorado versus other states. I would be quite surprised if they were actually less rusty controlling for days of snowfall and pounds of salt distributed on the roads etc.

The Trump thread is so awesome. It always turns into everyone trying to be the more perfect liberal and anyone to the right of a 13 year with their first Che Guevara shirt is a garbage person with a garbage mind. But still, I''ve only been probated once, so I have no idea whose Fruity Pebbles Leon pissed in to get targeted so much. He needs a parachute account.

Raldikuk posted:Medicaid is still means tested. For states that accepted Medicaid expansion they just upped the income limits. There are also asset exclusions as well. Apologies for going slightly off-topic, but since this could negatively affect someone in the real world and not having health insurance is super BWM I feel it's important to point out that the asset test in Medicaid expansion states should only apply to those age 55 and older, and only for recovery after the patient dies ie claiming medical costs against the deceased's estate. In California, which expanded Medicaid aka Medi-Cal, you only have to have Modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI + Social Security + Foreign Income) below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level, and any month in which you are below that threshold you qualify for full-scope MAGI Medi-Cal. There are other exceptions but assets is not one of them in expansion states.
