My boss literally just used me getting rear-ended just outside the parking lot here at work as excuse to give me an ultimatum: Move to the GTA by Dec 10th or find another job because he thinks my commute is the problem and it's like bitch I didn't even make it 500m from the office.

Anyways, next morning pictures:




At this point I hope it gets totalled instead of repaired. It's tracking to the right and there's no way it'll ever be like it was before the hit again.

In manitoba we have new car insurance where it covers the first 2 years of the car's life where you owe more than the car is worth because of the depreciation off the lot -- do you have something similar?

Saw this pic this morning, trying to figure out which part of the car melted. The alloy wheel looks fine, must be the heads that melted? Or maybe the wheel on the other side possibly. Either way it's nuts.


Is it something with aluminium body panels? Lot easier to get thin sheet to melt than big solid lumps.

Looks like it's a truck, but not sure if those wheels are OEM or aftermarket so hard to tell what make, if it's a Ford with the alloy body that could be it.

Guilty as charged. I have a week off and got it for an early Christmas present. Not bad so far, but very Fallout 4.

Absolutely. It's essentially Fallout 4 with friends and a hosed up food/water system, but the diseases can be fun! :haw: Going at it alone is okay and certain friends are better to play with than others, as per usual though, the super hardcore people that went balls deep on the fictional universe lore are annoying to play with. They'll read every last word from every kiosk while the other people in the party are tossing explosives everywhere and playing dress up waiting on "that guy" to finish reading every damned thing before we get to run into a building wielding fire axes with party hats on and so we can kill whatever is on the other side of the door and play dress up some more.

I am the only person who is routinely on time/early to work. I'm not missing work either, he just thinks I'm gonna get killed on the roads due to the fact I'm driving 4 hours a day.

Reality: Two days ago I decided this job isn't worth it and have already been sending out resumes, I have zero plans on remaining here for more than the time it will take me to find another job.

E: Just got off the phone with my broker, I do have depreciation coverage and comprehensive on the Kia, because it was required for my financing, fingers crossed the car gets totalled.

I pretty much am "that guy", which is why I'm happy enough to play on my own. I tend to scour areas pretty clean. But I do like revisiting stuff to just wade into killing things.

I got the bucket excavator going yesterday, entertaining way to get some ore. Also, get the Riverside Manor quest (you need the worn veil quest item), it's fun.

You joke but I still have raccoons, they are getting smarter I guess I have been thinning the herd of the less intelligent. Haven't caught one this week (they've been stealing the food from the traps)

Edit: she just picked up the youngest and I told her you have to get the title out of my name she is all like "oh yeah i forgot" so i don't expect much to happen. I have so much to deal with down at the County Clerk (how we register cars here). Majesta title STILL not here and need to register the LandCruiser today. Not looking forward to this.

It's healing but doc said only about 50-60% as of a couple weeks back. Makes some funny pops and such but not really in any pain when it happens. Range of motion is probably >90% of my other shoulder at this point. Gonna start swimming (yeah gently caress you I'm wearing a jammer!) to try and rehab it a bit more. Going to the gym and not being able to lift >10 lbs with your arm really gimps any sort of weight workout anyway so this will be a better distraction I think.

Thanks for asking.

Oooh, you guys want some drama?

One of my groomsmen is on a loving crusade to rescue his friends daughter that eloped with a registered sex offender. Dude is 35, girl turned 18 the day they took off. He'd been after her since she was 14 but it's not the same girl he got convicted for. I have been asked to be a part of the brute squad to murder this guy.

I'm enjoying it, mostly because it's not nearly as polished as it should be and the bugs are Goat Simulator levels of amazing. Within the first 10 minutes, I stepped outside the vault and was hurled into the wastes, like 200 ft in the air, then instantly teleported to insta-death behind a robot as it was still shooting my corpse. I had already joined up with a friend at that point and we were both together when it bugged hard on me, it showed me 1/2 the map away and without the initial caps to get back. That's the only severely horrible bug that's happened so far, the rest are things like try to cook, but can't because clipping inside a turret and menu not showing up. We've been having fun with it to make the most put together/broken camp possible. Now we're trying to build as far up as we can to see if we can have a base camp on the valley floor but have a walkway to a bridge that's way above us.
