Tomarse posted:The advert states £xxxx or near offers (and I'll happily answer "yes" if asked if I'll take offers or move on the price) but in my view if you want to low offer on a car you should either do it in person when viewing it or by phone/email after viewing it. I'm not weird for thinking this am I? No, I just ignore the idiots that lowball or complain about price, don't even waste your time arguing with them.

I got my Nespresso machine right when they came out and it was a godsend because I was getting ready to spend thousands for a grinder and machine just so I could make a decent espresso shot at home. I order the pods directly from Nespresso, they have a Cuban variety that's amazing, among a bunch of different choices ranging from strength of the shots to different flavors and origins. Prices are very reasonable as well. I've had exceptional shots coming out of high dollar machines but the Nespresso is pretty drat close and for the cost of ownership you can't beat it.

So I applied for SSI disability through my lawyer months ago, got all my medical records in and filled out the tons of bullshit jump through hoops paperwork, and after months of waiting for an approval they decide to send me to one of their own doctors for an examination which turned out to be a loving Pediatrician, with 90% of my "exam" done by a loving student nurse. I was in there less then ten minutes, and apparently they are gonna take some student nurse's opinion of my condition over my neurologist's professional opinion who has been helping me since July? What the gently caress is wrong with this system.

Not sure if that's true or not, but either way the fearmongering shitbags in the news media can absolutely go gently caress themselves. Yeah, there's a clip of Dr.Drew going the gently caress off on the media and he said he has never seen it this bad. He also made a good point about in the future if there really IS a pandemic threat people aren't going to take it seriously because of the media crying wolf all the time about this kind of poo poo.

Thank god for VIN check services. Just saved me from a lying seller and driving 4 hours to look at and refuse a Jeep. Why the gently caress would I, a Florida resident, want to buy a Jeep that spent it's entire life in Indiana? And what made you think that even if i didn't run the VIN I wouldn't notice just by looking underneath the drat thing? I specifically asked from the get go if it was a Florida only Jeep and they responded "Yes Florida only!"...gently caress off. I really hate dishonest sellers, gently caress these people.

Especially when i can have a DD (xB) AND a toy (Miata, Jeep) for a good bit less than one Bolt costs. I just put a deposit down on the xB I've been looking for and after getting a Miata or Wrangler (still going back and forth on that one) I'll still be at under 20k for both cars which isn't bad.

I've had my Ryobi mower for two years now and it's awesome, if it died today it still would have been worth the $300 I paid for it, but it still keeps chugging along. During the summer months it gets used twice a week on some thick grass that my gas mower would bog down in, this thing just plows right through it. All my yard tools a ryobi now and they all work flawlessly.

STR posted:2019 Avalon XSE. Opinions? Mom's coming from a 2003 Avalon XLE. She test drove the '19, has 9k miles, lease return. She's not wild about the wheels or the blacked out grill (she has a thing for shiny stuff), but it's priced well. She also test drove a Camry (hated it, too small) and an ES 350 (hated it, too small). Talk your mom into looking at used low mileage LS460's, once she drives one she will hate everything else trust me. The brand new ES is nice but nowhere near the the car my wife's 2011 LS is. Different zip codes.

STR posted:I tried, but she doesn't want to go more than 3 model years old (at the most), and doesn't want to spend over $25k (what she was approved for by her credit union - she works part time as a 1099, half of her income is SSI, and she filed bankruptcy recently enough that it's still on her credit). A later model LS definitely isn't within her budget. A GS might be, but it'd probably have to be higher mileage. And still won't be as roomy as what she's used to. The GS will be too small, it's barely larger than the ES and a legit sport sedan so if she wants a big luxury cruiser a GS is no bueno. If you can persuade her into driving an LS she can afford, I'd put money on her falling in love with it, the car will sell itself. It's really easy to find them in excellent condition even if the miles are a bit high, but for a Lexus miles are nothing.

So they just announced here that the grand prix will be closed to the public. So now it's in the air about if the race will be run without any spectators or not, this is weird. Also Roger Penske is a typical rich guy complaining about it saying there's no reason for it. Of course, that would effect his pocketbook can't have that!

Anyone else have any family and/or friends in complete denial? I asked my brother if he had any N95 respirators just in case (he's a painter/handyman) and he thought I was joking. He thinks it's just an old person's problem and everything will be fine. And I have a buddy that's just acting like nothing is happening, head in the sand, doesn't want to talk about it. I'm thinking that if it does get really bad, the panic will really set in when all these people in denial realize it ain't a joke or something to ignore.
