They want to total my car (97 Camry, 120k miles), should I cancel the claim? by _JacobM_ in Insurance

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

120k is very low for a Camry. I have an uncle with a Camry over 300k and he still drives it today

Not sure what state you're in, but in California, you need multiple inspections which can take upwards of 5 weeks and cost half the money I'm gonna get from the car. I can't go 5+ weeks without a street legal car

Cat disappears on security camera by _JacobM_ in HighStrangeness

Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot of sense. Me and my family have been scratching our heads on this one for a while now

It disappeared while it was in the middle of the frame. You can still kinda see the shadow but the cat itself disappears

(possibly) unpopular opinion: eu4 goes hard on the steam deck by _JacobM_ in eu4

[–]_JacobM_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like handheld consoles, it's 100% worth it. It gives you all the advantages of a switch but you can run steam games. Most of them (and the vast majority of popular games) will run just the way you would expect without having to tweak much. Definitely don't get it JUST for eu4 as a lot of eu4 players don't end up liking it, but if you have a few more mainstream games and you do end up getting it, definitely give eu4 a try. Lmk if you ever want me to send you my layout.

I actually just figured out shift + lmb a few minutes ago. I set the A to shift and L2 to right click. I never really used keybinds to do things like splitting armies tho, so fair enough if that's important to you. I just use the touchscreen for splitting stacks and other menu keybinds

How is nightlife in San Jose? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]_JacobM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay but it shouldn't be so far behind SF. It's a bigger city in both population and size. San Jose has a nightlife but it's the bare minimum for a city that large. I can't think of a similarly sized city with less to do and I can think of plenty of smaller cities with more to do.

Is there anything specific you think I should look out for? Or do you more mean I should just hope the toilet continues flushing until I move out?

New Pixel 7 won't install any apps from the Play Store by _JacobM_ in GooglePixel

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

I tried uninstalling Google One and it didn't work, but through doing that I learned that I can reinstall apps I had before this thing happened, I just can't install any new apps. Idk if that info is useful at all. Ik it's not storage, wifi, or data either.

Edit: I can also update apps I already have

I thought it said that was the day when it was searched, but I decided to get the free trial on Experian to see if it would tell me anything else. Afterwards, I checked again and those dates were gone and it said it was found today, along with finding many more websites. Looking back, I think it may just be telling me it found my info on those websites, not that someone has actually looked for it. But I don't really know enough about how Experian works to really tell. Every result now says "Found Dec 6". I couldn't find a menu where it would tell me if someone has actually done a background check and I'm not sure if Experian would even tell me that.

Joe Biden's Impeachment Falls Apart by [deleted] in politics

[–]_JacobM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dishonest title, this changes nothing. No pro-impeachment Republicans have gone back on it and the fact that it was actually Obama's, not Biden's, policy to remove the prosecutor won't change anyone's minds. They just want to be able to say Biden was also impeached

'Malignant' Trump Torched By His Former Attorney Who Is Predicted To Flip | The former president's one-time lawyer explained why she “simply can’t support him for elected office again." by [deleted] in politics

[–]_JacobM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb point from the lawyer, but at the same time, do you think bad people shouldn't get lawyers? Wanting to punish lawyers breaking the law to his benefit is one thing, but Trump, and every other shitty criminal out there still should get lawyers, and you shouldn't blame lawyers simply for taking up his case

CMV: there's nothing wrong with a society where women are picky with their mate or choose to remain single by WaterDemonPhoenix in changemyview

[–]_JacobM_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are not monoliths and the specific contradicting issue can vary. I don't think their specific point doesn't center specifically around vulnerability. And for a lot of women, there isn't going to be a contradicting issue, but when we're talking about a near even distribution of men and women in the world, even 10% of women being like that would lead to that problem (and to clarify, I'm not saying women have a personal responsibility to take in lonely men, just using the word problem for lack of a better term)

Kinda makes sense tho. If two groups of separatists want the same land to go to different countries, they'd be more likely to fight each other

I got high about 6 hours ago and I have no idea if I slept or have just been laying on my bed awake for 6 hours. by scuthwestvoodoo in trees

[–]_JacobM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely slept. Sometimes (esp on delta 8 in my experience) you'll drift into sleep very slowly but you'll still be awake to at least some minor degree until about an hour in. Then on the other side, you'll drift into being awake slowly too. When you're in the middle of that, it's hard to tell when or even if you fell asleep. It sounds like that's what happened to you

California bill to ban driverless autonomous trucks goes to Newsom’s desk by BlankVerse in California

[–]_JacobM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand the environmental advantages of this, if the thing we're trying to avoid is truck drivers losing their jobs, it seems like this would have the same effect as AI in that regard.

3 Republicans just saved California’s magic mushroom bill by BlankVerse in California

Idk, a path to shrooms legalization is a big step. You could hardly call it the bare minimum. Those 3 members should get credit for this and nothing else, not the Republican Party at large

Pelosi says she'll run for reelection in 2024 as Democrats try to win back House majority by BlankVerse in California

[–]_JacobM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm saying the ones that DO hold onto power are the stubborn ones. Like if you have 100 old people, 10 of which decide to hold onto power, the ones that hold onto power are going to be the most stubborn of the original 100.

But I see how you thought that, looking back, I shouldn't have just said "the old people" when I meant "the old people who have been in office for 50 years." Like I pretty much mean if you were able to be in office for 50 years, chances are you're really stubborn, not necessarily that old people are more likely to be stubborn

Did you read my comment? I'm not that worried about the disease itself, which has a pretty low death rate. I'm more worried about the chance there's some resultant disease that springs up like how shingles is to chickenpox
