Seriously. People are dead, but what about my vacation. :derp:
I hope someday you realize what an rear end in a top hat this makes you look like.

it's extremely discouraging that all these apocalyptic events that are directly related to global warming are devastating the planet right now, to the point that people are dying from the most powerful storm in history and our glorious leader would rather plug his ears and yell about how global warming is a myth and it's destroying these beautiful places that many people may never get to visit due to becoming uninhabitable.

sorry i'm not exactly great at expanding on all my feelings wrt the current devastation affecting the people living there, and tangentially, my vacation plans, at six in the morning. never meant to come off as some kind of rear end in a top hat about it :)

I think TT was well-intentioned, just put down a thought instead of the entirety of his thoughts. People are dying, and these storms are monsters (and Jose may be yet another). There are huge problems in our world right now, and in our country especially. That doesn't mean that we don't have to continue living our own lives the best we can... sometimes this even includes vacations!

:yeah:
i should also note that i havent been on more than a weekend trip in three years and for mental health reasons i really am going to need to see the sun and sit on a beach this winter or else i may possibly lose it

also also gently caress that cop

By "mental health reasons" you mean "living in michigan" right?

yeah that and losing the baby was super hard on my wife (and me to a lesser extent) so we just need to get the gently caress out and sit on a beach where it's 85F all the time

also i read somewhere that this winter is going to especially suck because of, you guessed it, global warming!!! which means i'll be working from home a lot... which means i'll probably be an alcoholic come march

Obligatory "quit 'cher bitchin', move if you don't like it" post. Winters are fine in Detroit, we don't really get that much snow it's just cold and dark for what feels like forever.

Get a RWD or AWD car (or anything but a saturn ion) with snow tires and have fun with winter driving, even though we've gotten little snow for the past couple winters.

I have come to hate the cold and I feel like it gets so cold here that it can't snow. If it's going to be miserably cold (read: below 40°) at least give us some snow so it's brighter and pretty outside

But yeah currently the plan is to sell the ion (or scrap it, who knows) and get a newish STi or Focus RS in a few years while I drive my wife's G6 and get her some type of SUV so we can fully embrace our suburban DINK destiny

Once it's safe to fly it sounds like they'll be evacuating people from the Philippines to Knoxville. Wife's unit is prepping food and tents today and possibly this weekend. No set date on when they'll arrive since their runway is rubble.

Wait what happened in the Philippines?

So, since my wife's car got smacked, I got to go looking at cars today. The one that really piqued my interest is an 08 MKX for 9k; it'd be a significant "step up" from a 98 Accord but what does the AI hivemind have to say about what to look out for? I know it just got a new water pump and I can see if I can get more service records.

it's bad

for real though my brother and sister in law have the mercury and ford version of it and they have a shitload of electronic issues + a weird transmission issue
