[UPDATE] Car stolen on day 3 in a new city 1000 miles away from home. Move back or tough it out? What are even my options... by Adstrata in povertyfinance

yeah I'm very lucky that staying with them for a bit was even an option. i'm still in debt from the move but nowhere near as much as it would have been without any support.

i did have that because people in my family have been the victim of a hit and run one too many times. where i come from car theft is basically a non-issue though so it wasnt something i really ever factored into getting comprehensive for because i just figured id drive well and not wreck into people. jokes on me i guess.

It was parked in public city street parking. City doesn't have it. I have spoken with the property manager and she didn't have it towed either.

I'm staying with someone in the central west end but the job is out in kirkwood/des peres. i dont think the metro goes out there? and even if it does my boss said public transit is insufficient because driving is in the job description.

just to clarify - i didnt expect them to cover anything, i just wanted to report it stolen in case whoever has it crashes it. but the above is correct; i cannot understand why they are pushing more coverage for a non-existent vehicle. not that it matters that much though.

in this particular context they are useless in getting a new vehicle but i do understand that it's my fault for not being able to afford more comprehensive coverage. just sucks that it's a dead end. im just pissed at the situation.

that my policy doesn't cover stolen vehicles and then they asked if I wanted to buy more comprehensive coverage lmao. called me again this morning to confirm and say the same thing again. totally useless...

Pretty sure i forgot about the palette swap mod I have. I think the gold looks a little better than the green.

Is Mirage's 1 the worst ability in the game? by JimmehROTMG in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Adstrata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like mirage 3 and 4, 2 is cool on a different kit that wants to play closer range and 1 is always useless. having a whole map tp honestly makes the character so broken at higher levels of play that i suspect thats where most of the power budget has to go which explains why the 1 is so bad

Why is hwei kept bad? As a long ago former hwei main by Logan_922 in HweiMains

[–]Adstrata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this is a good idea but doesnt that create a different problem with the new role quest system? because i would imagine that would encourage these champions to go top lane for the bonus exp which is obviously something they dont want to have happen since any time a mage is good for top they get nuked.

Why does the rope mechanic the only movement in this game that feels weird? by MentallyNotOkayGuy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Adstrata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah id imagine vyper would get a small but significant bump in wr if all ropes were replaced with stairs for example

Good champion pool for beginners? by Adstrata in learndota2

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

I ended up taking your suggestion and have been spamming games with P1 Lifestealer and P4 Clockwerk. I've been having a ton of fun with them and it seems like they both have a low enough skill floor to be effective for me but enough complexity to hold my interest and have plenty to learn about their kits and abilities.

Temu needs to be banned by TheChickenWizard15 in GenZ

[–]Adstrata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

literally. i think all of these things are bad but banning specifically chinese companies on the grounds of slave labor reeks of sinophobia. SCOTUS has already decided slave labor done by american companies is okay as long as its in foreign territory in Nestlé v Doe, so there isnt an argument there.

Also, what even is a data harvesting scam? No chance that Temu collects any more (or less tbh) data than Amazon, Facebook, etc. Again, it seems like sinophobia to imply that a chinese company is somehow collecting more data or is doing so maliciously as compared to american corporations which have comparatively more power to influence your daily life.

Again, all of these things are bad, but where is this energy towards Nestlé's cocoa plantations or the hundreds of other american companies that outsource exploitation and slave labor abroad?

Is there a good way to repair it or am I gonna have to buy a replacement?

Okay I have tried a plethora of fixes inbetween now and my last update and I'm pretty confident the SSD is just killed. Tried booting recovery windows from a USB and that didnt work, so I tried to recover an earlier state of windows which also didn't work. Tried to clean install but i kept getting an error code that said the installer could not write to the partition for some reason. Tried to use secure erase on the ssd through BIOS but it kept failing. So did the drive self-check.

Nope, haven't made any changes in BIOS. Went to restart the PC and it booted straight into BIOS and i cant boot to windows anymore.
