On an 8 hour shift with absolutely fuck all to do again. There's only so much digging and researching to do on my stock positions, still taking a huge break from social media (at least Facebook) and Twitter girl got jealous as fuck and blocked me on Twitter. Fucking weird, but now I got one less person to bullshit with on these boring ass shifts. So just sat here thinking of things to occupy my time with.

Been on auto insurance quotes for the past 7 hours trying to  assist my niece in finding affordable coverage.  This sucks for young people in Michigan.  Then it's compounded by living in the city of Detroit. 

:wallbash:

Yeah insurance is fucking ridiculous here. Paying the same amount for liability, what I did for full coverage back in 2004.  I just opted to not have insurance now, and told the company expressly so. Like not an accident or traffic fine in over 7 years, but gotta pay $121 a month. The fuck happened here?

Due to the power going out at the dealership, they were not able to get to my vehicle yesterday, so I just called to end the time on the KIA LXS that I had to rent on Monday.  Just in case, I now have it rented out until Monday the 19th.

 

I miss my TRUCK!!!

Correcting the fact that Monday will be May 20th.

 

I'm crazy right now...which is just a bit calmer than my normal.

I'm testing my tape deck after oiling it and re-adjusting the speed pot. I'm playing Early Moods' self titled album, and the forward direction sounds fine. But I can't quite tell if there's a wow and flutter problem in the reverse direction. I have a really bad ear for tone and pitch. I could use a spectral plot for the speed adjustment but not so much for this 😕

Settling in from a very busy day of auto repair. rental car return and late afternoon yardwork that just wrapped up a little before 10pm.

 

Now it's time for food and beverage.

Just south of Cleveland walkin' up in the woods @ dæmn near 2 o'clock in the mornin'

I like these f♤€k¡ⁿ' spots up in the interior of urban/suburban areas, smack in the middle of very developed lands but are themselves untouched enuff 4 u to walk just 20 feet and end up in 100% wilderness.

The best one I was referred to is CURE.com.  I'm actually thinking of changing over to them.  They cover drivers as young as 17 and don't care about your credit score to make their decision.

 

The only issue is, if you use your vehicle for commercial purposes like food delivery and the likes, they won't cover you.  That's the only problem I have with them.

 

The quote they were able to give my niece took her current coverage form $5000+ for 6 months to $915 for a 6-month coverage.  She would have to change her job to get it, however.

Cool, i dont use my Escalade for work... it's only for lookin' sick & black, that and going way too fvçk¡ŋ' fast with zero regards for reasonable traffic laws. I will check it out for sure. If they quote me anything less than what i spend on gasoline over a 72 hours timeframe then its a win win!

What I'm wondering is if the app is required, and if so if it then uses GPS to track you while you drive and the accelerometer to detect hard breaking etc...

 

Right now some companies have that or the sensor that plugs into your ODBII port and it's "we'll give you a discount if you use it!" and...  once enough people do then if/when they'll make them mandatory.

I was thinking it was related to health insurance.  That's really kind of a misleading name.

Well all in all, i hope they'll have a cure for failing piston rings, or a physical therapy program to help aide the recovery for "Service Stabilitrac System"... at least an experimental vaccine to cure burning off a quart of 5w30 motor oil every time my foot hits the floorboard as if it were a lead boat anchor being thrown off the empire state building lol.

If you do decide to use CURE, they have a referral program.  I can DM you the information to fill in.

I have them, too. Can't beat the price.

How's the coverage tho? Kinda basic nuts and bolts insurance like, or... has it got some decent perks along with it? Will they insure any contraband inside the vehicle as well, maybe reimburse market value on anything seized by authorities? Huh, wtf... nobody does that, damn maybe someone aughta market that idea. But no really, how do you rate the insurance overall?

    • So I just got back from Happy Endings and I saw @DJ Saintthere.  He told me that after I got kicked out of High Dive that later on Mike also attacked him, and Mike and his crew were also kicked out.  Then we talked about the scene and possible upcoming gigs.  I hope something comes his way soon, as well as mine too.  With the current economy I think more club owners will be hungry to try more things like goth/industrial/other alternative nights.  I've also heard that GenZ isn't online dating and is actually going out into the world to meet people which may also help business owners, though they aren't drinking which doesn't really help much.  I think more places are going to need to start serving food and mocktails to make up the difference. Then Mike showed up at Happy Endings which I thought was highly likely because I hadn't seen him there in a while, and @DJ Aaron Hingst,@elektrosonik, and his husband Tim were all there too.  He did something else I wasn't expecting...  Which was he actually shook my hand and said it was good to see me, which caught me a little off guard.  He didn't apologize for anything but it's a start I think.  I told him I was sorry to hear about @djpleasurekitten's passing (which I was/am.  Despite the rift that ended up existing between us we were friends at one point.) So maybe he's moving on finally?  If so then I'm glad.  I'm still not sure if I'll ever go back, but it is at least a start, and it's nice to actually see he's trying to bury the hatchet in something other than my skull.
    • Stargate Universe, which everyone said sucked but I'm actually enjoying it? Like there are less jokes, but lots of dark humor, and people might actually die rather than have 10ft thick plot armor?  Yes please more of this!
    • Failbook is blocked so I can't see any of the info. "Oh you don't need to login to view!" No, you don't understand...  This is my /etc/hosts file:   # Block Meta IPv6 fe80::1%lo0 facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 www.login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.connect.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 www.connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 apps.facebook.com12 # Block Meta IPv4 0.0.0.0 facebook.com ~~~~~ A METRIC FUCKTON OF OTHER FB DOMAINS ~~~~~ 0.0.0.0 zh-tw.facebook.com I had to edit it and cut off many lines because it's 2171 lines long and the overwhelming majority is just Facebook domains. Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)
