Melanie puked twice at swim practice this morning. Looks like I may be taking her to the doctor. 08:31 < Evilpig> that stinks 08:41 < Evilpig> this new wes anderson movie is very much what you'd expect 08:41 < Evilpig> I quite enjoyed it 08:52 <@Dagmar> It's going to suck more for the other parents 09:05 <@Dolemite> Dagmar: apparently she made it to the bathroom both times, so no puking in the pool or on the deck 09:21 < aestetix> Dolemite: in the pool? 09:21 <@Dolemite> swim practice is typically conducted in and around a pool of water 09:22 < aestetix> oh I should have read more carefully 09:22 < aestetix> no puke in the pool 09:22 < aestetix> I wonder what they would have done if she puked in the pool 09:23 <@Dolemite> make everybody get out and then shock the pool with chlorine 09:23 < aestetix> What about.... other things in the pool 09:23 < aestetix> assuming it's not a baby ruth 09:24 <@Dolemite> They scoop it out and then ship it to you 10:02 <@Dolemite> https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/ 10:02 < PigBot> Introducing: Raspberry Pi 5! - Raspberry Pi (at www.raspberrypi.com) https://tinyurl.com/22hzlad9 10:14 < Evilpig> neat 10:14 < Evilpig> I like the poe addition 10:14 < Evilpig> could make for a nice little tdarr node 10:14 <@Dolemite> The m.2 hat is also nice 10:24 <@Dolemite> Man this impeachment inquiry is a complete clown car 11:21 < Evilpig> they have to impeach biden for something because otherwise tRump will be shown as a true shitbird that deserved it and it wasn't a witch hunt 11:22 < Evilpig> and then of course we have the elected turds that somehow think that impeach means remove from office 13:18 <@Dagmar> Well, this will also let us point and say "This is what an impeachment looks like when it has exactly no evidence of wrongdoing whatsoever behind it." 13:23 <@Dagmar> They don't have to puke in the pool to infect literally everyone there. Heh 13:24 < Evilpig> oh hell. fuck you usaa 13:24 < Evilpig> I just got a text from "Copart" wanting to arrange pick up of my truck 13:24 < Evilpig> no email, nothing as to why these people want to pick it up 13:25 < Evilpig> I go check the insurance claim "Based on the inspection, we've confirmed your vehicle is a total loss." 13:25 <@Dagmar> Do you have _any_ idea why someone would want to? 13:25 <@Dagmar> Ah that means they'll be handing you enough money to buy an equivalent make model and year then 13:25 < Evilpig> estimate to fix the bumper on my truck "2,955.64" 13:25 <@Dagmar> ...and if not, I'd fuckin' make them 13:25 < Evilpig> they think my truck is worth less than $3k. fuck you homie you can't find one for that 13:26 < Evilpig> let along one in perfectly running mechanical order 13:26 <@Dagmar> Well there you go. Refuse to accept that bullshit lowball offer. 13:26 < Evilpig> their client hit me and bent the bumper, I just want the motherfucker straightened. 13:26 <@Dagmar> You can take their asses to court over it 13:26 < Evilpig> not their call to say my truck is a total loss. fuck you 13:26 < Evilpig> i'll be calling this clown shortly 13:26 <@Dagmar> Exactly 13:27 < Evilpig> I want them to show me an equivilent make and model and see how much they are offering 13:27 <@Dagmar> You didnt sign shit with their insurance agency, and going to court over it a judge would handily tell them they're dead wrong 13:27 < Evilpig> oh surely. I know how this game works 13:27 < Evilpig> I'm just shocked that I got this text message before any phone calls, emails, anything 13:27 <@Dagmar> Three cheers for being an asshole! 13:28 <@Dagmar> I'l bet they had greater success in the past just fooling people who go along with it thinking it's some kind of mistake 13:28 < Evilpig> I initially assumed it was to take the truck over to the collision place to get it fixed 13:28 < Evilpig> I mean god damnit. I literally just finished the radio install 13:43 < Evilpig> just did a quick look on kbb. the closest I replacement I can get that is $6k it would be a red 98 instead of a 97 13:45 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Not to mention the snazzy Android Auto head unit 13:46 < Evilpig> that's a biggie right now because that was alot of time 13:46 < Evilpig> granted, I could 100% pull this head unit and plop it into antoehr ranger and it would be good to go minus running and wireing the camera, the mic, and the satellite antenna 13:47 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: So as the son of a multi-decade insurance agent that had to listen to him advise people when I had to wait in his office after school for many years... you should get your insurance company involved and their lawyers will fight the at-fault-party's insurance companies lawyers on your behalf. 13:47 < Evilpig> if they want to buy this little red number i'll pull my head unit and let them swap it 13:47 < Evilpig> oooo. I like that plan. 13:47 < Evilpig> i'll do that now 13:48 <@Dolemite> I have also used that tactic when someone hit me and their insurance company tried to rent me something as small as a Yugo when I normally drove an Olds 88 13:48 <@Dolemite> I ended up with a much larger rental at no extra cost to me 13:57 < Evilpig> insurance gal said to wait for usaa to get ahold of me with their offer and eventually tell them that I want to do a buy back or something to that effect where they'll just end up cutting me a check for what an equivilent would be minus the bluebook or something. I've emailed the usaa dude before I talked to her 13:58 <@Dolemite> So you take the check and then go find a redneck with a welding torch to bend the bumper back pseudo-straight. 13:59 < Evilpig> or live with it bent 13:59 <@Dolemite> * and have money for more concerts 14:00 < Evilpig> house 14:00 < Evilpig> all spare change is going into housefund atm 14:00 <@Dolemite> That, too 14:02 <@Dolemite> You may have to start your OnlyFans back up to get that house fund kickin', Evilpig 14:02 <@Dolemite> I'm sure aestetix would pay 14:08 < Evilpig> this clown 14:08 < Evilpig> just tried to offer me $4600 and KBB isn't a valid source of comparables 14:08 < Evilpig> bitch, kbb just linked to a bunhc of dealers that have equivilant vehicles listed 14:10 <@Dagmar> Well, ther'es always Ebay Motors and lol Carvana 14:11 <@Dagmar> They're just mad because you didn't take the lowball 14:18 <@Dolemite> hehehe, but at least you've already gone up by 50% 14:33 < aestetix> is there a difference between the amazon fire stick and fire stick lite 14:33 < aestetix> besides the stupid remote 14:46 < Evilpig> I just set that dude on FIRE 14:48 < Evilpig> https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lfu0lb7cn3fwix01oylzn/Market-Valuation-Report.pdf?rlkey=npe8bdfbujxpp2cuo0z6m8v10&dl=0 14:48 < PigBot> Dropbox - Market Valuation Report.pdf - Simplify your life (at www.dropbox.com) 14:49 < Evilpig> here's what htey say my truck is worth. and quote the dude "if you can find three other equivilent from legit sources that contractict our estimates we will accept them" 14:49 < Evilpig> of their comps.... 14:49 < Evilpig> Comp #1 – unavailable 14:49 < Evilpig> Comp #2 – V6 automatic, NOT EQUIVILANT 14:49 < Evilpig> Comp #3 - unavailable 14:50 < Evilpig> I sent them REAL comps. 14:50 < Evilpig> #1 https://www.anchorautooutlet.com/trucks/?q=ranger&_dFR%5Bbody%5D%5B0%5D=Trucks&_paymentType=our_price 14:50 < PigBot> 403 14:50 < Evilpig> $6k 14:50 < Evilpig> #2 https://www.trimmotorcars.com/active-inventory/?f%5bmake_name%5d=Ford 14:50 < PigBot> Tri-M Motorcars | Auto dealership in Fort Mill (at www.trimmotorcars.com) 14:50 < Evilpig> $10k 14:50 < Evilpig> #3 https://pinnaclejeannette.com/vdp/20213411/Used-1998-Ford-Ranger-Reg-Cab-112-WB-SPLASH-for-sale-in-Jeannette-PA-15644 14:50 < PigBot> Used 1998 Ford Ranger Reg Cab 112" WB SPLASH for Sale in Jeannette PA 15644 Pinnacle Auto Sales (at pinnaclejeannette.com) https://tinyurl.com/222jhqcc 14:50 < Evilpig> $6k 14:50 < Evilpig> Your estimate is far below the going rate for a manual transmission ranger with less than 150k on it. The paint on my vehicle is not peeling, there are no major mechanical faults, the tires are in good order. Other than being hit the other day it is a perfectly running truck. All the deductions on your vehicle condition list are laughable. See attached picture for the interior, while it could use a good shampooing there are no major tears in the upholstery, the dash is fully intact with no broken vents and has a spiffy head unit with backup camera that I guarantee none of these equivalents you listed have. There is no chipped or broken glass. 14:59 <@Dagmar> Wait so they had an adjustor go ahead and do an appraisal on your entire vehicle? 14:59 <@Dagmar> Yeah they were _planning_ on trying to fuck you over 15:00 <@Dagmar> Fuck 'em back. Get it detailed and shampooed and then appraised yourself 15:00 <@Dagmar> ;) 15:00 < Evilpig> the repair estimate is $3k and the kbb value on my truck is currently about 4.5k so the 3k comes out to more than 75% of what they say the vehicle is worth so they immediately try to claim it as a total loss 15:00 <@Dagmar> Yes becuase they're hoping you'll just capitulate 15:00 < Evilpig> yeah, or i'm a moron 15:01 < Evilpig> which i'm sure happens plenty for them 15:01 <@Dagmar> The offer to let you buy it back is cute 15:01 <@Dagmar> It's still not their goddamn vehicle 15:02 <@Dagmar> have you gotten a 2-3 estimates on the cost of repairing hte bumper? 15:02 <@Dagmar> If you got those, you should just tell them "You can pay for one of these people to repair it, or you can expect to pay a lot more in court costs." 15:02 < Evilpig> just one estimate from the shop THEY picked 15:03 <@Dagmar> Yeah they can't legally require you to go with that, either 15:03 < Evilpig> we've had ash's car done there so the estimate is fine and would be similar to others 15:03 <@Dagmar> Try a Maaco shop. They're nice and pricey about things like this 15:03 < Evilpig> the chick there told me the problem is the hardened steel on the truck that they cant bend it back 15:04 < Evilpig> that does track, so whatever. I can live with it not getting fixed but these fucks are gonna pay 15:04 <@Dagmar> Oh it'll bend. It just won't bend _easily_ 15:04 <@Dagmar> It's "hardened" steel, not adamantium or titanium 15:05 <@Dagmar> Like, quite _obviously_ it has already bent at least once. 15:05 < Evilpig> https://photos.app.goo.gl/a2oBL27WBD3pjMgs6 15:05 < PigBot> No Title (at photos.app.goo.gl) 15:06 <@Dagmar> Yeah that's fairly minor. It being really annoying or expensive to fix ain' your problem tho 15:06 < Evilpig> bending it back is likely pulling the frame up there and beating the living hell out of it. I honestly figured this would be a couple hundred and some dude gets to beat on it for a few hours and take out some frustration 15:06 <@Dagmar> I figured a very large lever 15:07 < Evilpig> but again, not my problem. I wasn't at fault and have the video to back that shit up, plus they've already accepted fault. 15:07 <@Dagmar> There's rednecks in Millersville who could do it for sure. heh 15:07 < Evilpig> "I sent in your comparable vehicles to be reviewed. Please allows 1 business day for review. 15:07 < Evilpig> " 15:07 < Evilpig> I gotta get ready to go get sabrina from school. 15:08 <@Dagmar> I'll bet they'll change their tune on decaring it totalled 15:08 <@Dolemite> Try to get the other side hit so you can bump the payout up 15:08 < Evilpig> lol. I did that once ont he old truck 15:08 < Evilpig> granted... I didn't try to get either side hit and it just happened. fuckin' chuck 15:08 <@Dolemite> fuck Chuck 15:09 < Evilpig> someone is.
