  1. Yeah I hate door dings as much as the next guy, but even the cop who called us to follow up said ‘this is a little ridiculous’. Naturally he’s a RE agent, friends with my wife’s maid of honor who is also a pretty vain RE agent. He tried to call my insurance first but luckily I’d just switched, don’t need this shit on there…just consider it ‘having young dumbass kids tax’ and move on.
  2. Rivians also have a 360 camera that turns on when it detects any impacts while parked. Apparently my 6yo daughter caused a small door ding while my wife was helping our son get out on the other side of her car…she didn’t see it, but the owner filed a police report to get our contact info (plate was visible), had his wife FB message my wife, and now I’m on the hook for a couple hundred to fix his new truck. He texted me the video. Awesome.
  3. He whooped our ass against a Jim Knowles defense back in like 2018 before he had a big time injury. Checks one box of need, only 4,138 left until we have a complete team
  4. Oh look yet another random user with low rep/posts, a hot chick avatar, building rep in sports threads before jumping into the CR fray with predictably right wing viewpoints.
  5. My past alcohol issues are laid out in several threads around here…but relevant here is that tolerance from regular heavy drinking made each subsequent foray like the Aggy coaster: feeling good, feeling fine, having fun, then off the cliff disaster-level wasted. It became a stupid, dangerous, pointless balancing act every time I drank. Once I got stressors/mental shit fixed, was able to change my relationship with alcohol and it wasn’t a regular part of my (near daily) routine. With that came low tolerance, and I could have a few drinks on occasion without having to balance it like fucking Goldilocks to chase that ‘just right’. Also gone was the mental gymnastics of ‘will I or won’t I tonight’. I could take it or leave it. Obviously my case was more extreme than many of y’all but my point is that a break can be a beneficial reset of your physical tolerance and mental relationship with alcohol…not to mention a good ‘test’ to ensure you’re not white knuckling over it, and if it’s an ordeal then maybe time to think that habit over a bit. I actually enjoy dry Jan not necessarily for myself, but after all the social gatherings in Nov/Dec where alcohol is everywhere with unspoken pressure to join in…everyone else calming their tits naturally means a quieter social life in general for awhile, and therefore I barely drink too. /sorry for YGIF’ing
  6. Jesus that was hard to read…I know it’s The Sun but damn those embedded ads, random links and all the other bullshit lowbrow websites use to drive accidental clicks
  7. Considering it’s FitLump my expectation is that the worst possibility of intended outcome, sincerity and motive are almost certainly true. So there’s that.
  8. Well that’s why we are losing all our players, Gundy stupidly spent all the NIL money on the refs and Dapper Dan
  9. Was the Brat the one with seats in the bed? Always imagined what an accident would be like
  10. I haven’t had the ‘you won a new t-pain cookware set’ or whatever the hell that unskippable full pop up was in CR, since I cleared out my cache and logged back in. Was worried Elon had bought Surly there for a bit.
  11. WHEN CAN HE SLAP???!!
  12. I definitely need more pics of Santos L Halper looking like Mr Bean wandering into an OR while looking for the mens room in the hospital.
  13. They’re announcing a joint venture with MyPillow
  14. No the complete collapse of an airline’s operations across the country doesn’t happen every year
  15. Yep same here. iPhone so safari. Just cleared everything out and logged in again, will see if that kills it.
  16. I learned early on, when my first kid turned 3, that negotiating with someone that can’t be trusted is a sure fire way to enable a never-ending river of further demands.
  17. Why does that surprise you? These clowns have tried, and often succeeded, just doing whatever they want. The fact that it is his own party that finally stops the thin skinned bully is both amazingly beautiful and sadly pathetic at the same time.
  18. “Government is an inefficient swamp and cannot be trusted”… …breaks government via infighting simply electing their Speaker
