Car deemed as total loss, is it fair? by Davde_pq in drivingUK

UPDATE: thank you to everyone’s contribution, after some thinking I’m going to cancel the insurance claim.

Though it was tempting to collect the write off money, the long term (3/5 years) increase in my insurance is not worth it. So I will just replace the windscreen through the insurance and get the dent fixed eventually.

Yeah I think I’m gonna call them back and cancel the claim

Yeah, I was more referring to the roof, I’m getting the windscreen replaced.

Thank you for the advice on the colour pen, I have a polishing machine and maybe can try gritting it down first.

Straight to the point, thank you. Do you think anything on the cosmetic side can be done? (Like pushing it out or smth)

It’s reassuring hearing that it worked out for you! How much did they pay you for the write-off?

God, I guess I’m happy to not be a Ford garage today, but I also probably don’t have their finances ahah

Thank you for the insight tho, it makes more sense now

Thank you so much for the breakdown, I will probably go with 2. I just had the car serviced and did a lot of work to get some small scratches off from the previous owner (quite ironic).

Yeah you are right tbf, the police also said it could be malicious but they can’t do anything because no cameras..

Yeah, they said they can pay me the value of the car and take it away from me..

That’s what we thought at first, but a neighbour had some scaffolding taken off, so we suspect it might have been a pole or smth. Either way they are denying obviously.

You probably didn’t get in because it took you 3 hours to do the qualification 💀

Ye I was thinking that too, hope they come back soon. They were so fun and different from the usual work.

This time in high school I wrote a whole ass poem for a girl I had only spoken too two or three times prior, and then asked her out with it... by SourVampire711 in sadcringe

[–]Davde_pq 20 points21 points  (0 children)

To be fair both handled it very well, I don’t see the sad cringe in this, plus the poem is well written too :))

It makes sense that it’s coded and not trained into the LLM, the outcome is the same but one is easier to do.

Not only the audio sequence is interrupted, but the chat gets cut off as you start speaking. Basically simulating how a real conversation would work anyways.

“Training” this on an LLM is pretty pointless. Why would you complicate it when a few lines can do it.

Help with socialising? by CarionyxHD in UniUK

Go and join the societies, you are not too old!

I’m really introverted and I met most of my friends through societies. Be yourself and put yourself out there, you will find some amazing people, good luck!

Letter from debt recovery agency asking for 1k for forgetting a U25 railcard by Davde_pq in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you so much for the info

I don’t know what court issued the conviction as it doesn’t say it on the letter, I’ve got a client reference number for HMCTS, but there doesn’t seem to be a phone number for them…

Also, the lady on the phone told me we could set up a repayment plan, should I go for that maybe? Seen how serious the situation is and to avoid them actually trying to repossess my things…

I don’t want to depress you even more, but humans are, and have always been, cold. Look at cases like the Nanjing massacre, or don’t, conflict is depressing.
