cursedshitbox posted:and this is why I pay through the nose for insurance. hard, hard, hard lessons like this learned over the years. Your insurance company should be doing the fighting, not you. If *you're* doing their job, why did you hire them to begin with? Yeah, all I care about with my insurance company is if I get paid. I used to have firemans fund before they exited CA and they were loving great. They paid fast and they paid a lot. Apparently they are 100% lovely to their non-insured by them parties. That was never a factor to me.

The walmart items will have some clue like a different model number. They will have a different upc. If the upc is the same, it is probably the same.

Modus Man posted:Jeep and Ram are the only 2 diesels they have, I think jeep might be in trouble too unless they say it's only on the big diesels It includes RAM. It is 100,000+ vehicles, which is way less than VW, but FCA also has way less cash than VW did. Also, if they did it on the big ones, they may have done it in the small ones in europe.

Joe Biden was generally always one of the poorest senators (this means he was merely upper middle class). He didn't take the train to DC because he thought it was good press -- he couldn't afford two loving houses with one in DC.

funny Star Wars parody posted:cops are more trained in shooting their guns than they are trained in deescalating various scenarios This is true, but remember that cops are notoriously poor shots. The biggest issue with police training is it all seems designed to scare the poo poo out of officers about everyone (except other cops.)

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:If that was true, the hippies would have stayed hippies. Instead, the surfer dudes of the 60's are the ones yelling for the dogs to be unleashed on the Millenial rabble. There's much more at work here than simply echo chamber There were not that many "real" hippies. This is not really a no true scotsman thing. There were a bunch of people who protested the war (because they didn't want to go), and there were a whole bunch of people who liked pot, music, and sex. However, really truly lefty hippism wasn't really as widespread as people think and was a small fraction of the population, mostly at or around universities. Remember that most of the boomers weren't actually going to UC Berkeley or whatevee, but were working some blue collar job in Iowa or some poo poo with a high school diploma. My mother seems to reject having been a hippy, though all of her college friends (well, the ones she talks to) were and both she and them are all liberal as hell. She went to UC Santa Cruz and Berkeley and became a professor (though STEM), so there's some selection bias there. The 60s were a weird time as far as I can tell. My grandfather was a retired marine officer (landing crafts in the pacific), grew up on a farm in Idaho, a cow scientist, and a stoic, german guy. He was offended by people's park and made it well enough known that Reagan tried to have him fired (and failed) because he didn't toe the party line like they did at Berkeley. He also refused to join the local golf club, because they wouldn't let Japanese-Americans join. He was by no meaning of the word a hippy, but he was out there pissing people off by doing the right thing. He considered himself conservative, but he also hated racism, sexism, homophobia, wasn't terrified of government programs, and most importantly thought that shooting students was dumb as gently caress. Before all that he was recruited to be a dean or something at Texas A&M. Me thinks he either wouldn't have lasted long or Texas A&M would be way different. He also wasn't a fan of college athletics costing money

He decided to stay in California, for which I am thankful. On the other hand, he didn't suffer fools and probably would have failed rick perry, saving us from this national nightmare.

Prison is full of innocent people who thought like you. The best cops will pretend you're of no interest, gets people to start talking and be less defensive. I'm not saying panic. You'll probably be fine. However, caution is warranted in this situation. Someone who is both dispassionate and knows the law will help you immensely. nm fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jan 21, 2017 |

Rhyno posted:So I went to get some groceries earlier today and I swore to god that I saw her. And it took me a couple beats to realize it was not her and to remember that she was dead. That shook me up pretty bad, I flagged an employee over, explained I had to leave and apologized for the items in my cart and went to my car where I cried for a bit. It may be helpful to speak to someone about this. People react to loss differently and there's no shame in talking with someone who understands the process.

Wistful of Dollars posted:Also amusing given his brother's comment in the retraction article. Jack got his start writing as a several time banned troll on vwvortex (fourspeedfox, virgangfuch, etc). To be dair, he was the best spoken troll on the internet. Also, TTAC jack who doug demouro is ripping off, but without the obvious right wing politics. I was facebook friends with him for a long time (from before he was writing), but he keep going more and more right wing jackass. His brother is less talented version on him. Edit: Jack did auto-x a w12 passat and got it to lift a wheel, so he gets some credit for that. He's book smart and good at cars and bikes, but not a whole lot of sense.

cakesmith handyman posted:It may also be the only grief reference they have, if they've never lost anyone close to themselves before. So it sounds poo poo, but they're trying. Yeah, I've been trying to reform my own assholeness my trying to remember to "never assume malice when ignorance or stupidity will suffice." I'm not always successful, but it has brought my blood pressure down a bit. The vast majority of people aren't really terrible assholes, they just don't realize they're being assholes, myself included.

Powershift posted:Well, you're wrong. This doesn't mean they won't do bad, hosed up poo poo, but most people are less terrible than we think. We just automatically assume the worst, which coincidentally is what they're doing too. I also tie the rise in this kind of thinking to the rise of Trumpism, which seems to assume the worst of everyone (except for the Donald, of course). This doesn't mean there aren't irredeemable sociopaths and terrible people out there, but it is a lower number than people think.

McTinkerson posted:After seeing how easily Hammond could slide his 4 door Maserati around, that 929 should be a really fun daily. Long cars are great for sliding. They take a bit more to get them to rotate, but once they do, it is really easy to control. The LGT wagon in the snow was drifting in easy mode. Give it a bit of power and some countersteer and it will go exactly where you want.

keykey posted:I was at school all day yesterday and quite appropriately in one of my classes, the topic for creating an effective argument was how to persuade people on either side. The gist was that if your audience has an extreme view on either side, trying to persuade them is a lost cause. Conversely, if your opinion differs from either of those views, you're seen as being the other. This was a super appropriate topic as my wife is a social worker and also has worked with refugees in the past. In any case, we were laying in bed and she opens Facebook and her and her uncle had a heated facebook argument which I think is probably the lamest thing ever, but whatever. Anyway, she asked me what I thought and I honestly don't know enough about the refugee thing and I just said I don't even have an opinion. Instantly I was branded as being for the ban. Sometimes art imitates life. This isn't some complex thing like health care.

ilkhan posted:I've now eaten at Habit, Five Guys, and In'N'Out. I rank them in that order, with Five Guys winning by a hair on burgers but losing to Habit due to fries (Peanut oil? Who uses peanut oil to cook fries? Gave my girlfriend's kid an allergic reaction, thankfully its more a stomach ache than anaphylactic shock). Both are miles ahead of In'N'Out. Peanut oil is the best frying oil. As mentioned, refined peanut oil probably won't cause reactions. Five guys being laced with peanuts sure will though. If five guys would put avocado on my burger, they'd be number 1.
