BigPaddy posted:Why is selling a car to a deal still such a loving nightmare? Hour 2 of sitting around waiting for the check after agreeing to a price and dealing with GM Financial. At least I brought drinks and snacks this time. Because they want to wear you the gently caress down and then come in and say there is a problem and weak minded people just give up to get it over with and lose thousands of dollars to lying scum? Because that is why

On my way home. They didn’t try to come up with BS reasons to pay less than agreed but it was a lot of blaming GM Financial which tbh is probably right. As I was leaving someone was walking in with the car they wanted printed out from the website and telling the salesman they needed it today and would “only” pay the price advertised on the website.

To be perfectly fair, a lot of people at GM Financial are probably off today for New Year's Day (Observed)

Just watched this amazing documentary on a 70 hemi Challenger. A street racing legend and great story involving family and friends. So good, gave me goosebumps. https://youtu.be/Jd0io1zktqI

I hope he had driven around the lot and made sure that the specific inventory number for the car was in stock (narrator: it wasn't, but here's one that's 15% more, but we can give it to you for only 10% more)

rear end in a top hat casserole posted:Uhhhhh...have you tested recently? This morning, still negative. Typhoid SO is still positive and got home last night, but has very mild symptoms and no fever (meanwhile I have all the symptoms associated with the current poo poo). We're sleeping in separate rooms.. My insurance from Tesla is still active for some reason, picked up another 8 tests at CVS (and I'm going to order another 8 under her name, since she's on my insurance). I have a feeling we're going to need them. She has to get another documented (not home) test to stay out of work by tomorrow, hopefully my insurance is still good for a few more days. Mustache Ride posted:Just be careful and check it every hour so you don't go too low with the glyburide. I don't know poo poo about it though, I'm a type 1, and I always thought you type 2 guys got the shaft with the technology. Lowest it ever got today was 230ish - it's spiked back up to 300ish since then. I can't take any more of either med until around 6am, all I can do for now is drink water and try to flush it out. Or do the ER bit. Since I've been exposed to a COVID positive person since last night, I'm trying to hold off on any ER stuff (at least I have the bivalent booster though). Even for type 1s, my insurance wouldn't cover any of that stuff, which is just stupid. I'm going to be uninsured at some point in the very near future, but it's a bit aggravating to find out my test strips cost half as much without insurance (same with most of my medications). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Jan 3, 2023 |

Didn’t buy anything. Didn’t need the expense of the lease when the wife won’t be driving for a while and I have the blue C10 if I need to haul stuff. She isn’t working and won’t be for a while so just being proactive cutting back on some things.

With all the crazy poo poo he did in the gymkhana videos and throughout his career, and then he tragically dies via snowmobile. Reminiscent of Colin McRae going by helicopter instead of a car. RIP.

Gonna have to apologize to Slow is Fast. I sent him what must be a cursed package for AISS 2014. In it, I included a Colin McRae memorial shirt, along with a Subaru Rally shirt that I got directly from one of Ken Block's WRC team members.  Slow is Fast posted:I got my gift last week but I've been a poo poo dick about posting because busy.

BraveUlysses posted:I keep a tourniquet in all my cars, easy way to save a life with almost no training and little cost I've got 2 in every car, plus a full blown trauma kit in the truck, my shop, and the house. If I have my range bag, there's another one on that. I also carry Narcan and an EpiPen in my EDC bag. I have folding CPR masks, low dose aspirin, and glucose gel/tablets as well. You're most likely going to need to help someone with heart problem, diabetic shock, or a car accident than a shooting, so don't get hung up on the "tactical" bullshit. Just an FYI, you can find free/inexpensive "Stop The Bleed" classes in a lot of places. Near me, it's $40. You can also watch the classes on YouTube, but hands-on is far better and they'll provide trainer equipment. Don't buy tqs from Amazon, and stick to items on the CoTCCC list: https://books.allogy.com/web/tenant/8/books/f94aad5b-78f3-42be-b3de-8e8d63343866/ The CAT is the industry standard, and is what I have most places. Quick-Clot is amazing stuff, but expensive. Regular compressed gauze is much cheaper and you'll need a bunch. Chest seals are also very useful, and can be cut to fit. ETDs are effective as well. However, you need training to know how to use any of these items. Car accidents are super common and a tq can easily save lives. You won't kill the limb or cause an unneeded amputation if you use the TQ correctly. You will cause tremendous pain if it's applied correctly. Do not let the victim remove it. Tourniquet the limbs, pack the junctions, seal the box. If you don't understand how to do any of those things or what that means, get trained up. Ditto with Narcan and EpiPens.

How long are epipens and narcan good when kept in a car? Narcan is easy to get (we have vending machines with it), and I definitely know people that might need it one day. Or I'd be fine keeping the spray in my backpack..

By the label, somewhere around 85° is too hot, but people carry epipens on their person in temperatures above 100° and they're fine. We don't keep one in the missus' car because it gets too hot (and cold), but she almost always has one on her

Narcan actually had it's expiration date extended and I know that expired/overtemp Narcan has worked ok for other people. EpiPens are kinda the same, check the color of the liquid, if it's still clear and colorless, it's probably fine. I keep my old ones around the house but carry a new one. Insurance covers them no question with a $5 copay, but I can't get Narcan for under $120 for 2 doses because insurance doesn't cover it. I need to get up to Boston where Brigham has it at the pharmacy for $20, no questions asked. Reading on Narcan age: https://www.jwatch.org/na48388/2019/01/24/your-patients-expired-naloxone-might-still-be-good And temperature: https://harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12954-019-0288-4

Looks like there's now two Narcan vending machines. One outside of a bar, one at a homeless center. I know where the bar is (one of my favorite food trucks used to be there), I'll probably head there today or tomorrow. It's free at both locations.The Door Frame posted:By the label, somewhere around 85° is too hot, but people carry epipens on their person in temperatures above 100° and they're fine.

Irony is the two vending machines here are outdoors, but the news articles say they get wiped out almost daily.

I know where the bar is (one of my favorite food trucks used to be there), I'll probably head there today or tomorrow. It's free at both locations. I'm saying that the labels say to never leave it in the car. People do leave them in their cars, so I know that it's not the biggest deal, but I'm of the paranoid type. Their longevity in elevated temperatures is a question I don't want answered by a dud epinephrine shot, even though I know it's unlikely to be a dud shot, but I must obey the paranoia BraveUlysses posted:god damnit, i wish i had known this...should i toss them out? Ours say to only toss them when the fluid is cloudy, so I'd just say to inspect them, and if they look good and aren't too far out of date, they should be good to keep. We just try to keep ours good as long as possible because her insurance doesn't want to pay for new ones and those loving things are expensive
