Some automation in place
Coming directly from CEO. He even created a Chief AI officer. We have an entire org around AI adoption and enablement.
Pressure is on right now. They have aspirations to have 80% of all employees "consistently" utilizing AI. We have approximately 12k employees. They made managers rewrite our goals with CoPilot over the past 2 weeks.

re: Getting ticket reduced to non-moving violation - Covington

Does your small mind allow you to grasp the concept of people getting speeding tickets in places other than where they live?
You live in an apartment, be careful using the trashy word.

Call the DA in a few weeks and ask, no rush since it will take time for it to sync to their system. They may tell you to come on court date and ask but Ive never had a DA deny me moving my tickets to a non-moving violation.
The first speeding ticket I ever got was in my early 20s, and I had absolutely no idea how any of it worked. I figured “court” meant I should dress up, so I showed up looking professional while everyone around me was in pajamas or work uniforms.
When my turn came, the prosecutor actually thanked me for taking it seriously and dressing respectfully. He knocked $150 off my fine, changed it to a non-moving violation, and even complimented me for caring about how I presented myself that day.

$5k on a 2-2.5ct lab grown is plenty enough to have that wow factor and make her feel good about it.

I would really like to get to the bottom of this. I went to his Charleston shop and got to meet him and really felt like a stand up guy. His BBQ was pretty solid (but not the best ive had). I got a feel that locals did not care for his spot too much.

re: Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon

Ive done this trip twice. Once with my dad in 2011; he passed away in 2017. So I brought my wife back in August of last year and we did the exact same things we did in 2011. Very emotional for me.
I am bias in my opionion here but it is truly one of the most beautiful and interesting areas of the country to me. Sedona is just incredible, make sure you take 89A from Sedona to Flagstaff and not I-17.
Take the Grand Canyon Railway ride to the south rim from Williams. That was an awesome experience. Tip: they have package deals for their hotel and train tickets. We did the package that allowed us a ticket on the nicest train car they have and it was just amazing.
Page, AZ is a neat little town. Not really much to do in the town itself but its a good homebase point for upper Colorado River activities and to see Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, etc.

You do realize not all cars are equivalent? The same logic of those that think 1 bad cop = cops are bad. :dope:

I know the driver. He is a total loser. Got in a car wreck when he was younger and has been just plain stupid ever since. Glad he will be out of society, sad at the cost of Mrs. Katy

re: Drive Safe & Save Programs
Posted by Roy Curado on 4/27/26 at 1:39 pm to The Torch
I am 95% positive they can only use it to give you a better rate and not a worse rate. I have it and everything I drive I hear the beep go off from a "hard" break. I pay $1,500/6 months for our 2 newer vehicles at full coverage, $300k CSL, and $1k collision and $0 comprehensive.
So many apps and programs are already tracking your every movement, why not save on insurance while at it?
Edit: quick research into the discount portion of these plug in devices is that it depends on the insurance carrier. State Farm says its only for discount and your rate will not increase from the data. Others like Progressive said that your rate could increase (I have Progressive and consistently have 2/5 stars and I still get offered a discount so I would imagine you have to be a VERY bad driver for them to hike your rate up).

I know of a few couples that are Dave Ramsey-ers and they live very frugal and well below their means (too low and yes there can be such a thing). I should have clarified that I am not talking about the "living paycheck to paycheck" financial stress but rather the over importance of everything Ramsey teaches like "avoid debt like the plague" and "outrageously generous" "pay cash for big purchases" etc. I see those principles make people my age pull their hair out and causes unnecessary stress.
