Like if you can't afford $35 for an eighth you need to work more or smoke less. You can disagree without bringing your inner rear end in a top hat Republican to the fore. He probably wants to ban weed outright anyway.

Is an eighth enough to melt into a couple tablespoons of butter for a mug cake?

Maybe it varies by county? Most is like $40-60 an eighth but you can def get it for cheaper. https://weedmaps.com/dispensaries/alpine-alternative?filter%5BanyCategories%5D%5B%5D=flower

I'm here asking for a way to stop driving, so I don't have to insure myself. I have a large amount of points on my record—9 in 2017 alone, all of which will fall off in about 12 months (No, I don't know how my license hasn't been suspended either.) I also have a major not-at-fault accident that year too. I assume that's also counting against me even though I couldn't help being hit by someone who ran a red light.

Alternate option: double down on driving. Do nighttime street races to pay insurance out of the prize money.

I was in three at fault fender benders in three years with three speeding tickets, and my comprehensive on a 2014 Mazda3 is 175/mo Comprehensive is almost always super cheap, as it's any upset to the vehicle while you aren't operating it that isn't a collision. Liability and Collision are going to be through the roof, though I assume this is what you meant. It also sounds like this person is young and seems to accrue multiple tickets a year. A new car is more than an older car, and some states are just higher.

I dont think you can actually buy comprehensive without also buying collision and liability. I have all three of course, and the 175/mo is for everything

The company I work for is essentially what this guy needs. Non standard insurance (liability only) from when you can’t get any anywhere else. We absolutely do not pay out for poo poo so lol if you get hit by one of our insured.

I'm listening to my co-worker behind me talk to a mechanic about an oil leak. He's an Unix admin who I presume makes good money, but is delivering pizzas in his off time in a loving Chevy Suburban with 140k miles on it. Why does he need to deliver pizzas in a vehicle that gets 15mpg when he has an otherwise good job? Is it because we live in a late state capitalistic hellscape where everyone needs a gig job to survive? Or is it because he's on his second mail order bride because American women are too bossy and demanding? Oh good, now he's talking about putting a new engine in it.

That's right, he's in crushing debt from spending more money than he makes over a period of years.

I have no idea if he's using a marriage broker or not. He's been over to the Philippines a couple of times for the latest one. It's possible he's still negotiating terms or maybe his vote for Trump didn't pan out the way he wanted and she can't get a Visa. Also running a quick search in Reddit for mail order brides didn't show me a lot of BWM. Still, realizing on a web forum that there's a reason why your dad kept going on Asian business trips before he met your step-mom has to be worth something.

well speaking of Pelotons... This is the saddest post I have seen today: quote:"My wife and I decided to get a Peloton. It for now, costs about $100 a month (equipment + membership). For comparison, the Gold’s Gym a half a mile away costs $60 per person. So for now, the bike is cheaper for us than 2 gym memberships. The Membership gets you all their classes. Running, yoga, weights, etc. Stuff I do use. Once we pay off the bike, it’ll be even cheaper. We looked at the cost as that of like a new Macbook Pro or something. We’re paying it off with no interest, and we actually use it. And we figure the cost of our health equipment will always be cheaper than any hospital visit it puts off. (We live in the US, so one ambulance ride is more expensive than the bike)" And I love the comparison to the Macbook Pro stuck in there: clearly these are necessities. We absolutely had to go into more debt to get one or the other, of course! And the bike is healthier! Jesus Christ, America. Get your poo poo sorted.

Eleven Eleven posted:He needs to "garage" the car (basically put it in storage), which allows him to buy just comprehensive, and then send proof of both to Honda. Does "comprehensive" have the opposite meaning in Freedomland or something, because this post and the previous one is making me think so. In Aus/NZ "comprehensive" insurance means "covers just about everything" and is the top level. Below that you have other stuff that I've never used and at the bottom is third-party-liability-only, which is where they'll pay for the BMW driver you mowed down but you're on your own for your own car/body.

In the US comprehensive usually means “covers your car for things that aren’t due to a collision”.

In not quite correct terms: Liability covers the damage you do to others. Collision covers the damage to your own car, even if you caused it. Comprehensive covers stuff not covered by the other two, like vandalism and theft. Liability is required most everywhere. The other two are optional.

The Peloton post doesn't look weird at all. Plenty of people put large purchases on installments, especially if it's no-interest. I bought the nicest TV I've ever owned last year and it gets paid off in 2 months and that was a loving awesome purchase with zero regrets. Going outside is nice too, but not everyone's schedule makes that easy - especially in the winter. If they're actually using the bike then bully for them. If it's a clothes hanger with a tablet screen then it's stupid and we can mock them relentlessly.

The point is it is not a necessary purchase, particularly since they cannot afford it. You can get a different stationary bike - and post on Facebook all you want about it, and even download motivational apps like Zwift - for around $100. You can literally get this experience without the brand name for less than 1/20 the cost. In your case, you - I assume - cannot get another TV of similar quality for 1/20 the cost. TVs cost what they cost, so your purchase makes sense.
