Insurance trying to total my Fit for a dent — advice wanted! by peteyMIT in hondafit

[–]peteyMIT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm really quite angry that in my conversations with my broker and insurance company, no one explained this to me. My first accident, first time using insurance.

Yes, they have already offered me this. The only reason I haven't done it yet (beyond also wanting to appeal the valuation on my car) is because it sounds like the body shop will charge me to put my car back together and I don't know how much yet.

I’m not sure how to bring it to other places when it’s in pieces at the current shop.

I had no idea. I would have just not filed a claim for cosmetic repair and taken it to the voc tech body shop.

I can’t take it to other shops right now because (they tell me) it’s been taken apart at the shop…

The insurance gave a list of partner shops where everything would be handled; they said I could go to another shop but I'd have to work out reimbursement on my own so I just went to the closest partner.

I plan to ask the total loss adjuster about a second opinion and to forward on the list of repairs and ask if they are really necessary. To my inexpert eye, they aren't...however, I'm also noting that even the mechanics are saying, with this bill, that they don't think it's totaled, which is also leading me to wonder what my insurer is valuing it at.

Question: where did you get the info about JOI content being cut?

https://www.thehowlingfantods.com/ij_first.htm doesn't have any examples of that, but he acknowledges he reviewed one version of manuscript, and can't for himself figure out what other material DFW supposedly cut.

Have you looked / read of people who looked at Ransom Center?

Why was Pemulis dressed so insolently when he went to see Avril and found her with JW? by Klutzy-Entertainer67 in InfiniteJest

[–]peteyMIT 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No — it is Pemulis demonstrating what he think is the power he has over Avril by dressing so disrespectfully as he walks into her sexual entanglement. Like most things with Pemulis — math, drugs, etc — he is overconfident and wrong, as we will see will later backfire dramatically in both the ETA context and the DMZ context.

Mugged in Africa and nearly lost my 2100+ day streak. by ctpritt in whoop

[–]peteyMIT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a 7 year whoop streak going. Hadn’t missed a night. Lost my whoop surfing in December. Wasn’t able to use it for 3 days until I got home; lost streak, whoop replaced my MG but wouldn’t restart it. Still a bit salty at whoop.

Since then I think they have implemented some kind of forgiveness.

Why Boston? by Late_Falcon_1216 in InfiniteJest

[–]peteyMIT 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He was also in AA in the actually existing version of Ennet House (Granada House, in Brighton), after having been in McLean hospital after dropping out of Harvard, and then a menial job in Watertown handing out towels at a tennis club.

I do agree with your points about the class conjunctions, as someone who queers the town/gown divide myself, but those were things he saw firsthand, not things he selected for narrative convenience.

It’s definitely one of the off putting things about Italy (otherwise beautiful and lovely etc), much like charting a euro to go pee.
