So do I not prepare for the storm and buy ahead of time ? Or maybe leave?

fuck you! THEY NEEDED THAT TV IT IS A FLOOD

Flood insurance is usually bought through the federal government, and although they’ll help you rebuild your house, I highly doubt that flood insurance would cover a car.

Agreed, and it could have been people who were short on food and genuinely needed it (I think your life saving drug example is probably even better than food). It also might have been common criminals taking advantage of a disaster. I just don’t see a reason to pile on this reporter over calling the cops. Seems…

He saw a crime and reported a crime. Sounds like what people should do. Cops can prioritize as necessary. Seems wrong to assume the looters were all just trying to feed their starving children, as opposed to hitting the pharmacy or other non necessities. And how do we know the food was about to go bad, or about to…

I do a lot of PC gaming with a 360 controller now, makes it a lot easier to lean back and relax while playing.

I’m doing this from an IPhone, so gifs... gifs can sometimes be a struggle.

Why not connect the PC to the TV and use a wireless controller?

Probably a Sony issue.

We can PC if we want to, we can leave your friends behind.

I would assume they’d use the “Act of God” they like to whip out when they don’t want to pay a claim.

Even when you opt in the Insurance companies find a way to go without paying you anything. On top of that they’ll raise the rates more than the flood rose the water level.

I live in the High Desert of Central Oregon. Our house was built in 1920. When we first moved in, there was a basement crawl space dug out of the dirt below the house for the water heater, furnace and electrical panel. The “walls” of the crawl space was just dirt.

In a lot of places its not really an opt out its a price out. Ive heard about some insane flood premiums. But I guess thats the point, they only places it would be cheap are where they will never pay out.

“In 100 years this house has never flooded at all,” Crochet told Jalopnik. “This area has never seen this amount of water.”

Might not matter. The national flood insurance program has been broken for years. Getting a payout is extremely difficult after one of these events, and there’s the potential that the program could go broke over an event like this.

Problem with F150 is when it causes your lights to brighten and dim and people think you are flashing your high beams.

Well if the Facebook news feed had any modicum of sense - why the F am I seeing stories out of order?

The problem is, this exact situation happens in reverse. As a customer, we are charged “what the book says” even though we all know for years the book time is padded enough that someone who had never done the repair before could get it done in that amount of time. When we are paying $125/hr, of course we expect an…

I don’t know the economics but I do know from experience that most dealers are forcing “repairs” and the like on customers to boost the bottom line. Generally the pattern is the larger the congolomate of dealerships, the more spreadsheet management driven they become so the more pressure is put to increase the per…
