Thrifting/antiquing is cool because you can find neat furniture, artwork, books, electronics, and video games and satisfy a bunch of collector urges at once. Just gotta go in with the mindset that you might only make a big find once every few months. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Jan 8, 2019 |

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Yeah, curious to hear more about USAA being bad. I’ve mostly only heard good things. I use it for home/auto insurance They treated my wife like absolute poo poo for daring to be rear ended by somebody on their insurance. I made a claim myself and had to call every hour of every workday for a week before I got in touch with my adjuster. They just said they were busy. I wanted to try their mortgage service but they were so hands off and clinical about it I didn’t bother continuing past the first few steps. They basically wanted me to get as close to closing as possible before they would even deign to speak with me. I went with Prime Lending instead and it was like having a kindly grandmother hold my hand through the process. I still use them for banking and homeowners/car insurance but I don’t feel a whole ton of loyalty. Beats BoA I guess. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Jan 9, 2019 |

Nostalgia4Ass posted:Yeah my wife had a minor fender bender that did $1,078 dollars worth of damage to her new car. Our deductible is $1,000 so all USAA had to cover was 78 dollars and whatever a rental car ran for the 3 days it was in the shop getting fixed. I spent a week trying to get our agent to approve the quote the body shop offered and another week getting USAA to actually contact us with updates using the correct email address instead of the one they fat fingered in. Oh yeah, USAA tried to convince the body shop to use junkyard parts to fix her BMW, took 30 days to respond to the body shop's quote, and failed to adjust the rental car payment to compensate. My wife got a call from the rental company to return the car immediately and pay the $800 she "owed". It was a real mess and USAA cost itself 20% extra just by acting like a bunch of loving assholes.

My cat's 18, has kidney failure and only weighs 4 pounds. She won't eat wet cat food so the vet just said "gently caress it, give her tuna."

Dumb Friends League in Denver has cat rooms where you can just hang out in a room with a dozen kitties I met one called Coco a few years ago who was 6 pounds and liked belly rubs and I will regret not picking her up to my dying day.

There are great mexican joints though. I haven’t really been able to find good Mexican in Denver. Everybody acts like hole-in-the-wall joints are supposed to all be amazing but my experience hasn’t been great.

Da Gee on the outskirts of Denver is probably my favorite restaurant around here and it's not that impressive for korean BBQ. I like Mr. Kim's but that may be because it's right next to a gigantic Asian market so I always cap off my meals by exploring that place for 2 hours

Wasabi the J posted:Monitor upgrade is fine dude. Get the best you can afford, since it is literally how you interface with your computer everyday, and will last you much longer than any video card "investments". Just don't be an early adopter of HDR stuff - neither the hardware nor the software are there yet. Those monitors aren't expensive because they're good, they're expensive because they're new. A solid 4k IPS Dell is probably still the best thing out there.

imo I wouldn't want to deal with a single, wide monitor because I think it would make arranging windows a pain in the rear end and fullscreen games would gently caress with everything

M_Gargantua posted:My experience so far is that one ultra wide is equivalent to having two normal screens side by side but without a bezel between and arranging windows is equally as seamless. Having two ultra wides is still seamless for arranging windows. And so far no game has had a problem with them. If the game goes into full screen doesn't it fill the whole monitor? I use my second screen for videos while I'm playing some games.

M_Gargantua posted:So right now my right half of the right screen is discord, left half is YouTube, and all of the left screen is doom playing full screen at 2560x1080. Anything that fullscreens at 1920x1080 just gets normal black letter box on the left and right margins. Ok so yeah, I'd still need to have another monitor on my desk if I wanted to watch videos while playing games. If it wasn't up against a window I would consider an over/under configuration.

from what i can tell working with guys at companies like SAIC and Raytheon vs. the small businesses is that working for a small business is way worth the extra pain of shuffling over to a new one every year or so, as long as your skillset/experience are specialized enough to make hiring automatic
