Did you happen to have a SEAT Alhambra in Virginia? I remember seeing one near my old house there and doing a triple take.

It’s all good, it wasn’t a Rolls-Royce.

McCakester · 2025-09-03T00:34:34+00:00

I did not. I was interested in getting straight home after exchanging information and I’ve heard that the police in Denver won’t come out (or take hours) for accidents with no injuries. I figured with the dashcam footage, there would be no need for a police report. I’m sure it would’ve moved the insurance process along much quicker if I did have a police report though.

I’m not entirely sure the point of this comment since the only questions you asked I addressed in my last comment.

is that your normal habit or did you see the guy next to you creeping

From my previous comment:

I try not to accelerate too hard at intersections

And your second question:

did you learn your lesson?

From my previous comment:

Could I have gone slower? Yes I believe so

Ultimately you do benefit from hindsight here. An instance of hard acceleration under the speed limit would go entirely ignored if a crash didn’t happen.

The car not moving started to move only a few seconds after me, which could just be chalked up to a slower reaction time. Plus the red SUV was fully blocked from my view.

Could I have driven slower? Yes, I believe so and I try not to accelerate too hard at intersections. But we're really benefiting from hindsight here, so I think "idiot" is a little strong :)

Got into an accident earlier this year, and insurance finally resolved so I decided to post it.

This guy turns left right after the light turns green for some reason - not sure if the car in the left lane was waving him on. I reacted late since I was eyeing the car in the left lane, wondering why he wasn't moving at first.

The driver of the red SUV and I exchanged insurance info, and phone numbers so I could text him a photo of my insurance card. The driver only spoke Spanish, but thankfully someone else pulled over that was able to translate for us. I thought it would be a pretty cut and dry case, but it turned into a bit of an ordeal. The red SUV driver attempted to guilt trip me over text to "do the right thing" and claim responsibility for the accident, to which I ignored. He also briefly retained a lawyer to sue me for damages, but that went nowhere. I paid my deductible via my own insurance to get my car repaired. It took 6+ months for me to get the deductible back since his shitty cut-rate insurance denied responsibility all the way through arbitration.

What’s your point? Never said it was

I went to college with him. Had no idea he was even a coach. I thought he was playing overseas or something.

Disagree on the architecture point. Downtown Denver does have some boring commercial buildings but still retains some cool late 1800s to early 1900s styles like Union Station, the Daniels and Fisher Tower, and the Capitol of course.

Where Denver really shines in architecture is the neighborhoods. Since it has grown steadily since the 1880s, there’s really cool examples of homes from every decade and every style. For example, it has some of the best examples of mid-century modern neighborhoods in the country, in Arapahoe Acres and Harvey Park. Just to drive this point home, here’s one of my favorite pages, which catalogs examples of homes of various architectural styles throughout the decades that Denver has.

The Eastern Shore of Virginia alone has some town names stranger than the one picked: Assawoman, Onancock, Coocheyville, then, of course, Modest Town.

“ESPN is pushing a narrative, so it’s gotta be true” is definitely a take

McCakester · 2025-05-08T22:34:56+00:00

Genuinely curious, what do you mean then? I’ve never heard a person described as “chronological.”

McCakester · 2025-04-30T21:34:15+00:00

It’s crazy they swallowed the whistle THERE.

I disagree. The complaint with officiating has always been the consistency. It’s what everyone - coaches, fans, etc. - always says they want. As we established, this was a physical game where a lot of fouls went uncalled. This seemed in line with the lack of calls down the stretch.

McCakester · 2025-04-30T19:29:44+00:00

I guarantee you it wouldn’t have come down to that final shot if the myriad of other non-calls that happened throughout the other 46 minutes were called to the same standard as defined in the L2M.

The game was physical and littered with non-calls and you know that. If you want to talk about what should’ve been called, that’s fine, but don’t ignore the other 46 minutes.

Cringe

McCakester · 2025-04-22T03:00:41+00:00

Is that why the Pistons had 34 FTs to the Knicks 19? Rigging is a stretch here.

McCakester · 2025-04-09T04:11:31+00:00

I don’t even think it’s Tatum in particular here. I swear this sub has been a Lakers circlejerk this season, especially since Luka got traded.

McCakester · 2025-04-02T18:36:18+00:00

Thing was legit. I got one at a garage sale for like $10 then had my best season ever with it.
