slurry_curry posted:I guess. Just talked to them again and apparently the damage that happened to the front and rear bumper(screwed up clear bra on the front and scuffed up/dented rear bumper) happened since they have had it and won't change the price at all. They will fix the damaged clear bra, but I would have to pay for it, or else they would just remove the damaged parts but not everything. Apparently they also use body filler on bumpers to fix the waviness from impact and "all dealerships do this". Am I the crazy one for thinking that you NEVER use body filer on bumpers since with a slight tap it will fall off? Everything you're posting screams 'DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS DEALER', man. Seriously, no matter how much you want the car, you're signing up to get hosed over by the poo poo they know but aren't going to disclose, on top of the poo poo you have knowledge of.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:My pay was locked at 9.60/hr since 2006, now it's locked at 10.75/hr until SEP 2017. Your whole profession needs a goddamn raise, that's almost criminal for the work you do. I made $18k in 2013 as a baker. I cleared $50k this year for vastly less effort. Getting out of the job I loved but was killing me, and into monotonous computer janitor work again has worked out. I'm still pretty deeply in the hole though as all the medical issues I put off thanks to being too poor to do anything about them are catching up.

Biodome posted:In non political chat, I may be moving back to Seattle for work. My girlfriend and I each have a car and have decided we won't need both if we settle down in Seattle so we're selling mine and keeping hers since she has a one that can carry more poo poo. I've never sold a car before so I don't know how it works. Do I toss it on Craigslist? Call one of those WE BUY CARS numbers on the side of the road? I'm thinking I just search for the average selling price of my car and toss it up and just take what I think is fair? Don't bother with those 'WE BUY CARS' ads unless it's a busted-out huge pile of poo poo that nobody in their right mind would buy. They will low-ball you furiously. I've had decent luck with Craigslist.

Darchangel posted:I've commented to friends and family similarly: who the hell do all these goods and services providers think they are going to be selling to when they keep lower wages, laying off folks, and sending the jobs overseas? Your declining profits aren't because you're not making it cheap enough - you've left no one enough money to buy your poo poo. Shhhh. Don't tell retailers. It's an inside joke just now that they haven't realized that three years of continually declining sales despite expanding the 'Holiday Shopping Season' all the way back to Halloween aren't a temporary thing. Once the housing market tanks again later this year, the tech startup bubble pops and the economy goes back into free-fall it'll set in that a consumer goods and services economy crashes as soon as the workers can't afford to participate.

What's the best way to get old nasty grease off without making a huge mess / killing all my grass / etc? Purple Power and a rise? If I work on a concrete slab, will it stain the fucker? If there's anything I've learned lately it's that Panther Piss is some kind of loving magic for this. It's also likely to give you all the cancers.

keykey posted:That is pretty awesome, but in a bittersweet sort of way. I'm about to get 65k more in debt thanks to student loans. The first time I went to school I should have just completed my poo poo then since It was affordable, but noooo I had to take 15 years off instead of just paying my way through initially with a 40 hour a week job, and a masters that would have been close to 8k over 2 years. I now get to take out a 65k loan for just an 18 month program for a masters. The ROI should be worth it though, hopefully.. I hear you. Would have cost me ~30 grand back when I started school, looking at going back now galls me.

Enourmo posted:Yeah I'm pretty sure millenials would be into cars just fine if they could actually afford them like one used to be able to. The days of working a summer job to buy your Camaro SS with cash are long gone, and I think that's the biggest factor, rather than any actual shift in values. Yeah, a new sports car is roughly 50% of what I'd pay for a 2 bedroom house here, these days. Fermented Tinal posted:I still think nothing says freedom like a full fuel tank. A full fuel tank, a couple days off work, and a few hundred bucks to blow because gas is triple what it was when I got my license but wages are flat when adjusted for inflation.

So far as I can tell, bunch of offsite poo poo over Lowtax having once employed Shmorky, who has turned out to be a terrible crazy person in his private life apparently. Offsite people assdamaged because SA's not really cool with hating on trans people and openly trying to troll them off the site. They started doxxing mods and trans thread posters in the lamest, least actually effective 'doxxing' possible, and the screamy bits since have caused some drama among the staff that I don't know poo poo about and don't want to.

Galler posted:That fried crust dripping with grease on a Pizza Hut pan pizza is a guilty pleasure of mine. I only have one a couple times a year and the rest of the pizza is pretty bleh but that crust is magical. Firehouse Pizza is my least favorite chain pizza. It's pretty standard chain pizza but with candy sweet There's a proper Chicago-style pizza place here that does pan pizza right. Two inches deep, crispy crust without being super greasy. Gotta call in advance before I go over there, though, as it's a ~45 minute wait for the oven.

MrChips posted:Generally yes. All the save bugs are gone now, and it generally runs pretty good overall. There is a fair bit of new content (including a light campaign mode, mostly put in to try out all the math they are going to use in the real thing), and starting with the next version, they're going to be running on the Unreal Engine, which has dramatically improved the appearance and, well, just about everything, from what I can tell. This is their most recent dev update if you're wondering: I'll have to reinstall it then. The save bugs especially were making me an angry loving creature last time I tried.
