My wife and I assumed that Loonette was doing this already. It was kinda implied

Its too much, too much of the same piled on til the sum is less than the parts.

Now I need to find the Canadian lawsuit. This is why I updated mine. 

I had an ‘84 Corolla, the family car was an ‘87 Cressida.  While the mechanicals were ‘solid’ these cars rusted rapidly here in the land of salted winter roads.

If you’re at a point where you’re getting older and know you’re staying a while in the same place think about what your ‘old-age’ needs are going to be. This is something people don’t consider during reno’s. Consider putting in a curbless/low curb shower. Electrical outlets by the stairs are easy to put in during a

They’ll forget to accept you as a client.  No one has to provide you coverage at a good rate.  In Ontario we have a last resort insurer and the rates show it typically.

The facebook thing was an automated system/data feed. How that supplier did their work wasn’t my purview.  We didn’t think that the cost was worth it - but negative selection drove us into going with it.

you’d like to think that - but I think you’re wrong. I worked in a P&C insurance carrier and negative selection was a real worry for them. The issue one time was a service that would search your friends in Facebook/other social media and if you were friends with a lot of people that had a lot of accidents they’d flag

What’s going to happen in a couple of years is that insurance companies will start to charge more if you’re not being monitored. The ‘problem’ drivers will negative select and not be monitored. That will mean that the risk pool of un-monitored drivers will become riskier, rates will rise pushing the better drivers

Equinox -> Cruze made no sense to me. The room in the back seat of the Equinox (at least prior gen) was much more and the flat roof line meant I didn’t need to squish down to fit. Even the Malibu was a tighter fit.

rifling a long rod penetrator isn’t desirable as it will tend to keep the original elevation angle through its flight. That means that at impact the round is slightly off compared to the flight path and that impacts (pun!) the ability to penetrate.

Years ago I was on a trial for an app that would monitor how safe a driver you were for insurance purposes. There was no associated OBD2 dongle, just the app.

dishwasher?

I’d likely stay til one week past the end of the month which would allow some transition during the peak of my job. Maybe a bit longer if my leaving was something that could be planned.

Kim and I have something in common now, I told my daughter she couldn’t wear her mother’s (thigh high) boots once.

I love rutabaga - boil then mash it with some maple syrup to soften the bitterness. It’s a great side dish.

he’s a keeper

She’s cool enough, these bad boys are in her regular rotation. The high school kids would whisper about them.

yes, my wife the teacher needs these

It’s important to spec a solution that works with your climate. I’m in Canada so I’m heating the home 8 months out of 12 and our AC unit is only on 2 months of the year typically.
