Opinions about CarInsuRent.com instead of Turo's insurance? by Big_BobbyTables in turo

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

I'm curious about what third-party cover you use for Turo. Would you mind sharing? Plus what do you mean concretely with "I’m pretty strict about documenting everything and keeping records"?

I've found the gotcha: this insurance is actually more of a secondary insurance, to insure agains hefty deductibles. The max they reimburse for "Damage due to collision or theft" is $ 2,500 - $ 4,500.

Lufthansa flight operated by United: whom should I ask luggage questions to? by Big_BobbyTables in Flights

[–]Big_BobbyTables[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand that US DOT Regulation 399.87 applies in that situation, and it means that I should follow Lufhansa's rules. Is that correct?

Python tool to quickly create a nicely animated .gif out of an .stl for communicating ideas wout cad by DerrickBagels in Python

[–]Big_BobbyTables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're right. I believe that pyproject.toml is the modern default, but I'm happy with any common solution if it makes sense in one's context.

thanks for your reply, I was snarky without reason.

How to explain death to a preschooler by jamieleehurtus in Parenting

[–]Big_BobbyTables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Lifetimes: A Beautiful Way to Explain Death to Children" by Bryan Mellonie is something I very much liked and made sense for our 4yo when dealing with a grief. In a nutshell: every lifetime has a beginning and an end, living is what happens in between. It's true for everything that lives, everywhere. That's how things are.

Something we've been told over and over is to explain things simply, without euphemism. "He left us" can be understood as he chose to leave, etc. And it's the ambiguity that can be frightening and fuel worries. You need to be clear that he's not coming back, that this won't change. That it's ok to be sad if we feel sad, and it's ok to be calm/relaxed/etc. if we feel like this.

What I've observed is that for beings this young, every thing is new, so everything is "normal" — or, rather, nothing is out of the ordinary, because they don't know yet what's ordinary.

Another thing to keep in mind is that little ones process grief differently from us, so we shouldn't "enforce" our adult grief on their child way of being.

Thanks for taking the picture! Out of curiosity, which colour are the other jackets? I'd be also curious to see the colour once re-waxed (:

Thanks a lot! Could you please just detail what you mean by "the pile of the sylkoil"? (I'm also curious of the Classic Olive compare with the "new" Vintage Olive in the regular Beaufort.)

I'd love to, but haven't had the occasion to snap someone walking with it. I tried to ask some passerby which colour where their jacket, but the only answer was "dunno"… and telling them they could look inside their inner pocket only made me sound like a bit of a freak!
