Some general life advice. Kitchen stuff made by Asda (UK branch of Walmart) is absolute crap. All of my Asda coffee mugs cracked when I put hot water in them (spilling hot tea everywhere on each occasion), including the replacement set they gave me a couple weeks after when I took them back. Bought mugs from Wilko and they have been fine ever since. My Asda "microwave safe" soup/cereal/etc bowl cracked when put in the microwave. My Asda cutlery started depositing its surface into my food. My Asda frying pan doesn't sit flat on the hob and the handle feels like it will fall off at any moment due to the craptastic rivets they used on the handle. And my Asda glass beaker just smashed in my hand while separating it from another Asda glass beaker, meaning I had to put my hand under the tap for a while to remove the tiny glass shards before they embedded themselves into my hand.
I don't have a Tesco within walking distance (other than 2 Tesco express stores). I have found that Wilko stuff tends to be pretty decent. If I had money to splash around I would probably get Denby plates and bowls since that's what my parents have and they still look good after over 20 years. Probably have a lot longer left in them too. But at around £10 per item I think I will wait on that one
I just realized. A lot of people born in 1999 are 18 now. Nothing will make you feel old at 22 like realizing that so many of the people you once thought of as "kids" and "too young for internet" are now adults too.
The rcr p71 Crown vic review is so full of shit. His portrayal of the typical p71 driver is pretty much spot on, but everything else just pisses me off. So much of what he says about the car itself is just plain wrong. People who say they buy and drive really coppy-looking p71s solely to deter bad drivers from wronging them are also full of shit. I always hated how people behaved differently around me in crown vics, even though it was hardly noticeable. It keeps you from really observing drivers in their natural habitat. You get fake, manufactured driving behavior from a lot of people because they don't want to get a ticket. That being said, I hardly noticed any difference in people's driving habits when I went from driving the vic to the Yukon, besides people being a lot more willing to have fun around me. People are really good drivers around here, almost too good. It's kinda boring. Nothing interesting ever happens.
I'm 19 and I feel like I'm 30 or something just because most of similar aged guys I've seen disgust me with their what they call "rap music" and their stupid World War II haircuts, I don't really want to be part of their generation to be honest. I used to laugh at people born after 2000 but now, they're old enough to defend themselves..... not all are smart enough though. I'm not saying that everyone born after Y2K is a you-know-what but I'm yet to see any who aren't.
Well, the last few days haven't been great for me. I accidentally corrupted Windows by trying to put it in sleep mode (Window 10 sleep is broken). I shut my computer off and turned it back on, and it attempted to do a disk check, then it went in a BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO blue screen loop. I started to panic. I tried to reset the BCD, and then it said it didn't exist. I tried a system restore, and it said it was successful, and then I restarted. I didn't blue screen this time, but after the boot screen, it just went to a black screen with a blinking busy cursor. I tried many things to fix it, like unplugging the 2nd monitor, repairing the disk-image, entering safe mode, booting from a USB, everything. They all didn't work. I tried to reset Windows, and it failed when it hit 30%. I had no choice but to factory reset. I used the command prompt to copy irreplaceable files to a flash drive, and then I reset it. I'm still working on bringing my computer back to the state it was before I broke it, and the desktop now looks pretty empty.
$3200 Thats how much damage was done to my car. The insurance company tried to convince me that it made sense to total the car, even though it didn't even come close to the fair market value. What did those morons think my car was worth? $3500? What did those stupid fuckers expect me to do? They were going to pay me the "value" of the car, then sit back and watch me A) struggle to come up with an extra $2000 to pay off the loan, and B) come up with $5000 for a down payment on a new car because that's the only way I'd be able to get financed for another Mustang. Bullshit. At least I exchanged a few... Choice words and they authorized repairs to my car. I get it back in a couple weeks.
You know you have been on YouTube too long when you find a video with some guy on "Unregistered HyperCam 2" typing in on Notepad what he is going to do, along to this music
that's how insurance works. I remember watching trucks on powerblock and they bought a 2004 silverado 2500 extended cab from a junkyard for a few grand that was totaled for 6k damage with side damage when at the time it was worth 8k. they rented a frame straightener and fixed the body and frame and put new doors on. they only spent a few grand to get nice low milage truck for about 5k in all
I mean, I understand it in that sense, but this is literally a quarter panel and a door. It's not like they're using NOS parts either, they're ripping parts off of whatever car they can find in a scrap yard and painting to match.
my uncle had a jeep Grand Cherokee and he got hit head on by a liberty and it wasn't totaled and the liberty was but they glued a bracket back together and never put the factory brush guard on sadly that jeep as scraped because the frame rotted out
Insurance is all about management and mitigation of risk. Presumably its less risky for them to write off a car for a set value than it is for them to pay the repair costs when they don't know what the final price will be or what unexpected issues may occur.
