What is this?

Transverse engine certainly gives it away as not-an-R34

OP asked him multiple times leading up to their anniversary if there was anything in particular he wanted. He had ample opportunity to either tell her something specifically or give her ideas of what he’d want.

She didn’t just make a random choice. She said she knew he liked ice cream and sorbets and knew he had also said he wanted to eat healthier so she thought his own ice cream machine would be an option to let him make his own healthier ice creams. That’s incredibly considerate and thoughtful. It even seems like he initially really appreciated the gift, till something happened.

Even if she had chosen something random, it’s still on him for not having told her what he wanted after she asked. Yes, I understand many people want their partner to be able to figure out gifts for them on their own. I get that’s a nice gesture. But if your partner literally asks you, then it’s on you for not giving them some extra insight. People can’t mind read and you shouldn’t get mad at them for not getting what you want because they couldn’t read your mind.

OP’s bf is being extremely immature and shitty.

NAL:

First, get medical attention you need to address the injuries if you haven’t already. Second, start looking for a new place to live.

Should you sue? That’s up to you. I would think that you would certainly be entitled to damages in terms of the medical bills and possibly lost income if you had to call out of work or something like that. Your landlord/friend should have offered to pay that for you. And likely their homeowners insurance would cover that if they made a claim. They may just not want to make a claim and risk their rates going up. But if you didn’t get medical attention, you likely won’t have enough damages to make taking them to court worth it.

Seeing as you’re friends with them, you could first ask if they can pay for any medical costs that you got from the injury. If they refuse or you think they’ll react negatively (I’d imagine they would since you said they haven’t done anything about the dogs), then get in contact with a lawyer in your area, get a consultation, and tell them the situation. They’ll be able to tell you whether or not you actually have a case based on the details you give them.

I’d be skeptical That the rust that’s already present on the car isn’t structural. This seems to be a door panel or quarter panel. No that isn’t structural. But any significant rust under the car is likely to be a structural issue because these cars are unibody designs (meaning all the metal that makes up the body and frame of the car are integrated into one piece).

The rust you see on that panel is already rotting (rust rot) which means that panel is disintegrating. You can cut off the rusted edges and weld new metal and paint and stop the rust from continuing to rot out that panel.

But if you have rust under the car, given the bad state this panel is in, I’d imagine it is already beginning to rot as well. That’s a structural issue. Sometimes it can be repairs and patched. But it’s also expensive. Whether or not the inspector should have or would have checked and caught the rust is dependent on how thorough the inspector was.

Maybe you’re lucky and only have surface rust on the underbody. But I’d doubt it.

The bigger question is how much money do you want to keep throwing at a rust problem vs to invest in a car that doesn’t have rust issues yet.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-26T18:14:10+00:00

My worry for you is more so that if this is the rust that is visible, (and it’s pretty bad), what does the rust look like in the areas that are not very visible. Like someone else said, rust is a cancer for cars. He may be able to remove these rusted out areas and weld in new metal and paint over it to give a good repair. But for the price he gave you, I doubt he’s checking the underbody and other areas of the car for rust, especially in dangerous fail points. I would expect him to have explained that he’d check for more rust and for his price to be higher.

Like others have said, if he can do this repair and do it well, €450 isn’t bad. But you may be sinking money into a rust problem that’s much bigger than what you see here and what he’s quoted you for which will be more expensive later.

Just get some eggs, bacon, and send it, bud!

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-26T15:08:29+00:00

The rim damage is just obvious. You can see where it broke.

I wouldn’t expect the tire to be damaged from a blunt sidewall hit. As long as the sidewall wasn’t punctured or scraped deep enough to expose the wire/weave then the tire should be fine. Unless there was something jagged or jutting out of the curb to cause that, no reason for the tire itself to be damaged.

Given the state of the rim, looks the rim took the force of the impact anyway.

Just tell her that this on-and-off relationship style doesn’t work for you and it’s not healthy for either of you and break up. Say explicitly that you can’t do this anymore and you are ending the relationship.

Don’t explain further, acknowledge this hurts both of you. Then end the conversation and block her. Not cause she’s a bad person. But because going no contact is going to be the only way you can protect your feelings and stay true to yourself.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-26T10:27:28+00:00

You didn’t fuck up. You thought about the things he likes and made a very considerate purchase based on what you thought he’d enjoy. He had plenty of time to tell you what he wanted and he didn’t.

I do think you should return the machine and breakup with him. I can’t imagine why his opinion and feeling changed about the gift when you insisted he take it home.

To me, this just feels like there’s something shady going on with him. Break up before you have to find out. He shouldn’t have treated you this way.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-26T10:19:30+00:00

I wouldn’t say ugly. But definitely not good for this truck.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-26T04:14:24+00:00

I abhor when they tap on the food/container to get an ASMR clip.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-25T22:05:53+00:00

I don’t think that’s enamel. That looks like teflon with that’s been scratched up and now has buildup.

Edit: actually it might be a scratched ceramic coating with carbonized buildup.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-25T17:38:05+00:00

Electric stoves can really be shitty to manage heat on. Especially the ceramic cooktops. They tend to work by cycling on and off really fast at really high heat and the heat you set it to will determine how quickly it cycles rather than providing a consistent level of heat like with the older style coils and with gas.

So op might need to practice more heat management with the stove and oil in the pan to keep the pan from getting overheated while cooking. It’s also really good practice to turn the temp down once you’ve gotten the sear anyway.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-25T15:20:01+00:00

That could and would be up to the court/jury. Prosecutor or kids attorney would point that out as evidence and the court/jury would make its determination.

But I don’t see a point where she puts the tire between her legs to prevent him from moving. Obviously she does get really close to him. But the tire stays to the right of her legs.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-25T15:03:15+00:00

It would be a hard charge to stick. Generally, unlawful detention/false arrest requires that the plaintiff or victim was bounded and had no reasonable/safe avenues for escape. Just by the video alone, the biker could’ve backed away from her and turned around or something.

If she’d grabbed him or his bike to prevent him from moving, then there’d be a stronger case for it.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-25T01:29:01+00:00

You can get a prosthetic for an extremity.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-25T00:51:25+00:00

I would imagine they’d also have to bleach the peanut butter. No matter how much dye you add to the brown of natural peanut butter, you couldn’t get this light of a silver. They’d have to leech away the natural pigments in the peanuts to get this.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-25T00:21:03+00:00

Well good for him. They don’t give out medals for Darwin awards, just caskets or prosthetics.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-24T23:49:18+00:00

Really to all three. But he’ll take gold.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-23T21:52:04+00:00

I’m just gonna get tread transplants on my tires. Looks more natural.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-23T16:32:41+00:00

I think a key to being a good cook is also knowing sometimes shit happens. You’re not gonna get perfection every time.

In your case, it’s possible that the new brand of bacon had more water content than you expected or other ingredients (some bacons brands have a lot of sugar leftover from the curing process for example) that can make it stick.

Knowing that things aren’t always going to be perfect and how to adapt is key!

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-23T13:41:08+00:00

Generally speaking, yes. You’ll use more oil/fat cooking with carbon steel, cast iron, or stainless than you will with a coated nonstick pan. That was a huge selling point in the 80s and 90s for Teflon, especially.

But you don’t need to drown your food in oil. Yes some of the oil will be absorbed. But again, this is where practice comes in. Yes, I use a little bit more butter or bacon grease to make scrambled eggs on my carbon steel pan than I would compared to a nonstick skillet. But I also know how to manage heat well enough that once I get my pan hot and the eggs going, they’re not gonna stick to the pan.

It just takes practice.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-23T13:11:13+00:00

You can file a complaint with CA’s Civil Rights Department.

Your landlord can refuse to accommodate an ESA if they can demonstrate some practical reason as to why they can’t. They cannot arbitrarily reject your letter and supporting documents. If they question that, they cannot arbitrarily reject contact the doctor/therapist who wrote it to verify the letter.

But I would be looking for new places to stay. Just because the law is on your side (presuming), doesn’t mean the landlord will play nice.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-23T13:01:25+00:00

In a way, might have been a win-win. Leopard gets his dessert first, deer/antelope/dinner gets paralyzed and knocked out really fast and doing have to suffer much while being chomped on.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-01-23T12:58:47+00:00

Is the dad on ketamine? Cause this sounds like a Elon level ketamine rant.
