I have a hunch that dent is pretty recent, maybe rattlecanned in the factory color, as I don’t see any rust. It won’t be that way for long.

because you’re smart enough to know they’d pay you in certificates and McDonald’s monopoly tickets

Those sovereign idiots sued me 40 years ago and it has followed me around ever since. Even though the court dismissed it. I’ve saved the original paperwork since 1982 because every time I applied to a different state’s bar association I’ve had to show them the paperwork. Every time my security clearance came up…

Most lawyers, if they have practiced long enough, can tell you stories about encountering these people. The common denominator is that they view the law as a sort of system of magic in which specific words and incantations are given enormous power. Logic, reason, and rationality have nothing to do with it. This is why…

Why didn't I think of selling nonsense license plates to morons for a Benjamin a piece?

Ah, Freemen on the Land. These fuckers are annoying. Up here in Alberta, you run into them as soon as you leave a city centre. My friend is a County Patrol Officer. He’s a traffic cop for rural roads, investigates property crimes in the county, and settles/intervenes in property disputes and complaints between…

That’s true that there may be some resale value, but not half what you paid for it (except the last year since COVID messed everything up). Huffy is disposable.

Before the pandemic and even now to some extent, old 10 and 12-speed road bikes everyone likes to mock for being heavy and ancient are perfectly serviceable and repairable riders that can be had for free or around the same price as a box store POS. Sure, they’re not as “cool” as some fake suspension mountain bike or…

You mean that $99 bike built by a 16 year old kid in the back of Walmart isn’t of ultra-high quality using the best parts on the market? I’m shocked!

I’m pretty sure they’ll just keep charging the same fee if this goes through, and just pocket the profit.

I’m looking for someone I know who has a vice.

It’s neat! I don’t know if it’s $6000 non-running project car neat, but it’s neat!

Put your airplane in airplane mode.

Well a car isn’t an aircraft.

My guess is, most of those 23 people were one timers who just drove the car to get into the “accident.” Maybe they got a few hundred. Maybe a few thousand. But I’m guessing the four or five at the top cleared a decent amount. 

Like one crash that involved a Hummer H2 that was purchased for $200 and a Camaro:

If it’s anything like the $35k Model 3, it’ll be nigh on impossible to purchase before going away entirely. It’s like a cost-based homologation special. They’re going to offer it for just long enough to claim they did it and move on to the Model 3 Paisley Edition or whatever viral halo car is next.  

In my industry STAR is a joke. We are all told to

Amazing

I dunno, I appreciate that you’re pro-mask, but it kinda sounds like you’re interpreting masks as a binary activity and it isn’t, ie masks provide no benefit unless the compliance is absolute and uniform, and that isn’t the case. If you wear a mask at the ice rink concession stand when you’re in closer proximity to a…
