You chose the option with the least legal consequence for you (by US standards).. and the highest likelihood of the car being repairable. Honestly, looks like it took the hit really well. What was he driving, and how'd your back/neck fare?

I still use the same processor @ 4.3 (starting getting some BSOD with it higher so I recently dropped it down for stability...getting a little long in the tooth) with a 1070 and it rocks for most everything.

Saw this pic this morning, trying to figure out which part of the car melted. The alloy wheel looks fine, must be the heads that melted? Or maybe the wheel on the other side possibly. Either way it's nuts.

I just got a renewal notice for the Prius that I had to give to my lazy bum of an ex-wife. This means it is still in my name and she is out I am sure often driving drunk in a car in my name registered to me. What the hell can I do? I signed the title over to her in July. This is a person who was told by the judge in December to get a job and of course she hasn’t.

This is a person who was told by the judge in December to get a job and of course she hasn’t. But there's probably an easy way to find out who is on the title. If it's you, you get her to a title center and you take care of that poo poo. If it's her, you mail her the registration paperwork and say, "It's your problem, you fix it."

They didn't start the fire from space, but melted cars from space? From what I've been reading investigations into these fires have been leading to electrical companies more times than not and they have been footing the bill. Now electric companies are apparently shutting down power in high risk areas and people are pissed they have no power, but then their house burns down in a fire cause by electricity if not. It's a no win situation.

Before this paradise fire pg&e was going to shut down the power lines in the area and people bitched and they didn't. Oops. You're right that it's no win. And nobody clears the underbrush like they are supposed to, which makes the fires so much worse.

ExplodingSims posted:WOODEN TREES CANT MELT STEEL BEAMS That drives me nuts. Like, motherfucker, do you know nothing about anything? Do you not understand the very loving basic concept of fuel + oxygen + fire equals heat, and that metals soften far below the temps needed to make them liquid? A quick Google shows structural carbon steels start to soften at 300c and start to melt below 900c. A forest fire easily gets to 800c, and one like the Camp Fore with a 50mph wind feeding it can locally go mutch hotter, having been recorded in previous fires hitting over 1200c. This is like, iron age basics of metalworking. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Nov 16, 2018 |

My boss literally just used me getting rear-ended just outside the parking lot here at work as excuse to give me an ultimatum: Move to the GTA by Dec 10th or find another job because he thinks my commute is the problem and it's like bitch I didn't even make it 500m from the office. Anyways, next morning pictures:   At this point I hope it gets totalled instead of repaired. It's tracking to the right and there's no way it'll ever be like it was before the hit again.
