Most passengers just look at the price of a ticket. I was based in MIA when Eastern mechanics went on strike and those planes were full. Each bank had 1 or more jets returning to the gate for mx.

On the bright side, enough pilots have quit where they cancelled all remaining furloughs and reduced the number of captain downgrades from 170 to 25.

Take them to JB’s Fuel Dock. Good views, good pizza. Better in daytime though.

fighting tigers, how is The Backyard? I’ve been meaning to try it with the kids.

If this wasn’t a Vince Gilligan show I would have stopped watching at the last episode.
This last show, Ep.7, was just painful to watch.

Ironic. You seem to think a lot about yourself and your opinion.

:rotflmao:How does this work? I didn't realize this was a thing people did. Is he not insurable himself? And why would you potentially open yourself up to liability or rate hikes if he makes a claim on your policy?

I guess I didn’t explain this well. He’s my wife’s cousin that is a dual citizen and taking college courses while living with us. The car is in his name but to keep his insurance reasonable we put him under ours.
As pointed out, you get what you pay for that doesn’t mean an innocent driver should get screwed.

I hate to bring the ambulance chasers in this but I’ve been as patient as one can be expected. It happened in September and we should have been made whole a while back for such a small claim.

Our roommate got hit. Stopped at a stop sign them proceeded through intersection when a car parked on side of street pulled out and hit him on the right fender. He owns the car but under our insurance. No collision or comp as it's a 2016 Kia Soul. Police report says "Driver 2 (other driver that hit my party) is in violation of LA,R,S32:103 relative to moving parked vehicles." Guilty party's insurance says they are denying responsibility.
No citation was issued.

Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
The other insurance agency, Root out of Illinois, is having none of it. The assigned adjuster is mostly MIA and on top of that nasty towards us, saying she can't get a statement from her client (no shite! She's guilty!) We tried to escalate it up the line but they keep referring to original adjuster assigned and just outright deny responsibility. It's $3000 of damage. Aside from small claims and lawyers any other possible resolutions that I may be missing?

Likewise. It wasn't long ago that Sam's was selling prime cuts for $14/lb. and choice for $11 or so. Today their choice ribeyes were $18/lb with no prime to be found, although last time I saw it there is was $28/lb. I do a lot of my shopping in the morning and can sometimes find newly marked down beef due to an expiration date 2 days ahead, some deals better than others. Nice ribeyes today were $12/lb. and looked great. Vacuum sealed and into the freezer they went. We don't eat a whole lot of beef so between sales we usually are satisfied. I will be interested to see if there will be any heavily discounted whole rib roasts around Christmas this year. I usually grab 2 roasts with 6-7 ribs each to cook for the family and in past years they've only set me back $150-$200.

Beef prices make HVAC prices look cheap.

accelerant is Systobol, an ultra-stable nonexplosive compound.

I’m pretty sure that stuff was banned back in the 80’s for being overall bad for….everything! The airplane, the environment, people inhaling it….
And no, it wasn’t an accelerant, it was the stuff that made the smoke. Sold by the barrels.

This topic reminds me of the clouds of smoke the mosquito trucks used to put out and we’d ride our bikes through, but I’m pretty sure those were a chemical laced diesel mix.
