So Geico had announced a "15% giveback" on policy renewals. I just got my renewal, and at the top it says the 15% giveback has already been applied. So why the gently caress did my policy go up by $140 a year?  Credit score has gone up by 70 points, and I haven't told them about the move yet.

Yes, but the alternative is worse (I don't think its 37) I took part of a web presentation from this guy 2 weeks ago and he is smart as gently caress. IIRC, it's anticipated it would be a simple 1-2 dosage thing. If all goes according to plan. I'll see if I can find his presentation and I'll link it here. It's worth a sit through.

I just saw someone gently caress up mask wearing in nearly every way. Someone driving with a surgical mask only over their mouth and they grabbed the outside of the mask to adjust it and then immediately rubbed their eye with the finger tips that just touched the outside of the mask. I hope that was a fresh mask.

Also, changing tires from factory can make a big difference in ABS performance in my experience.

Oh yeah there's absolutely lovely ABS out there but anything made in the last twenty years is at least as good as average driver on their best day. Hear you on the tires bit as well, swapping to sticky stuff on the Honda Fit combined with Wilwoods up front gave the system fits (HA!) so I pull the fuse at the track. However it goes right back in after I swap back to the Continentals. Alright I'm done some guy called me a dick after I threw an NHSTA study at him. Back to just reading. I was tempted by a mechanic advice sub where poor innocent newbies ask adorable  questions.

Late 90s and early 00s Subaru ABS will slide your rear end into an intersection even with brand new studded snow tires at under 5mph if you're creeping down a hill. I ended up giving up on it and just pull the fuse every fall and put it back in every spring. If I'm in full control of the brakes on the same hill I can stop in half the distance or less every time.

The UK government: "Everyone should avoid public transport as much as possible, especially in London." Also the UK government: "Transport For London are losing shitloads of money, so to fund propping them up, we're not only reinstating the congestion charge, it's going up 30%."

It's not that most of the people going into London would drive in rather than use public transport, it's more the ridiculousness of the sequence of government statements being "yes, people should be going to work if they are able to, but they shouldn't use public transport to do so, and at the exact same time as telling them this, we're also going to reinstate a £15 daily charge on private vehicles".

South Australia officially has zero active Covid cases! I need to take a holiday... I've worked every single weekday of this poo poo so far and its been exhausting. But I'll have to give it a few weeks to let the hordes of people who feel like they've been cooped up get it out of their system so theres actually somewhere to go thats not as crowded as the city now they're starting to lift restrictions.

Maybe they should tax something else, but I know sometimes it's easier (legislatively) to adjust a fee than it is to levy a tax. (No idea if this is actually true in London/the UK, but it's often the reason things are done that way.) Ferremit posted:South Australia officially has zero active Covid cases! Either way, it's still better than where the US is. Congrats, both on the progress through this and on living in a country that isn't completely batshit insane.

Also people overestimate the amount of people in London that own a car. Public transport is just that good in the city so an awful lot of them genuinely have no need for a car for their day to day. So when the government limits the amount of people able to use public transport, even if not everyone is working, it causes issues. Add to that it's advised to use masks and there isn't a supply of them, the infection rate last week went up and a whole bunch of stupid fuckers have been rolling round in public like poo poo's fine...

Welp two cylinders have compression but the next one..... oh god lord the fearsome amount of blowby it is generating. I think it has literally broken a piston at the first attempt to start. Owner got some decision making to do. He knew this motor was going to be a chance of failure but he wanted to try first to save money but well...... it's dead Jim, thisiece of ally needs a bare block pulldown. Have I said how much I hate EZ30's and the curse I seem to have with them?

I managed to (even after double checking) miss a 0 at the end of my price on the car I was selling and my lord was I spammed to death. People used the reg number to find my name and began calling my wife since my number (thankfully) isn't listed online. They absolutely terrorized us until I managed to update the listing, which took about 30 minutes.

Krakkles posted:How's testing in SA? I'm hoping it's "we've tested (at least almost) everybody and there's no active COVID cases", not "nah, mate, we're good, go on". We're sitting on 3.2% of the population tested, which is sadly significantly higher than most of the rest of the world. We've got no active cases, but that doesnt mean its gone, just that noone is actively sick with it. So we're still on restrictions about social distancing and travel and going to the pub... Its still better than most of the rest of the country and waaaaay better than the US is doing

You guys play with RC cars right? Both the cheap ones my kids got a year or two ago have crapped out. They're both single chip/board 2.4ghz, a rock crawler and a fast little buggy, I'd like to get them decent ones but the budget is low. Any recommendations? I'm in the UK.

Traxxas is the best in terms of affordability and not crap, see if you can find a used one or just go new if you can afford it. I have the rustler and my son has the stampede they both work great and are a lot of fun. https://www.amazon.com/Traxxas-Scal...ps%2C237&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.com/Traxxas-Stam...ps%2C235&sr=8-3

We have a whole thread here in AI all about RC cars, and I happen to work in that industry! The Traxxas brand previously mentioned are very popular for newcomers. They are good designs, excellent performers and plenty of parts availability. They are a little more expensive than other options. New brands that are taking a decent chunk out of the traxxas market share are ARRMA (a UK based brand!) and ECX. Not sure if the ECX line is available in the EU but I imagine it is. Of those two the ARRMA would be preferred. I also love the Axial products. Crawlers might not seem like the right step but a crawler is literally for everyone. I’ve posted plenty in the RC thread, you can check my post history there.

I don’t know if y’all are as old as me but I found the 9.6v Turbo Bandit! (Actual name) red Nissan hardbody rc truck I had as maybe a 12 year old. Like everything I had as a kid (or ever) it’s in perfect shape but I didn’t find the og batteries. Is this something I could get going again? I have no interest in buying something new or expensive (meaning a new nice rc car for the kids) but I’d gladly buy new batteries for this or upgrade it

Depends on budget, really. I posted before that I got my Godson a Midnight Pumpkin, and it turns out that when Covid hit, his dad bought himself a Lunch Box to go with it. And I just ordered myself an SW-01 Lunch Box Mini.

That was one of my favorite things from childhood, I still look at them on eBay sometimes. I brought that truck with me everywhere for years and learned how to fix stuff on it. You should be able to make or buy a nimh 9.6v battery for it. I think it was AA size cells that the battery pack was made of and you can get nimh versions.
