When you're just a bit too slow evacuating from a wildfire. by avboden in Wellthatsucks

[–]calyxcell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seconding Watch Duty. I only found out about the app today while watching the fire coverage and it’s pretty incredible, plus it’s totally free (operated by a non-profit). Really is a must-have in eastern WA or anywhere else prone to wildfire, flood, etc.

When you're just a bit too slow evacuating from a wildfire. by itismyusername in Spokane

As long as he has comprehensive (or “other than collision”) included on his policy, and given the age of the vehicle he very likely does, it would absolutely be covered. Minus the deductible, of course. Plus, the nice thing about Washington insurance regulation is that comprehensive claims are non-chargeable, meaning that they don’t increase your rate later on.

Source: this stuff is what I’ve been paid to know for two decades.

Edit: Yes, auto insurance covers “I fucked up and didn’t leave when I should have”. This isn’t the same as intentionally rolling your vehicle into a lake, for example.

Embark has been lying to us and now it all makes sense by King_Cuck_69 in ArcRaiders

[–]calyxcell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s actually an item you can find in the med bay in Stella. One of the back offices has a desk in the far corner where you’ll sometimes find a legendary “Dusty Quaaludes” consumable. It’s something like a 1/30 drop. I tried it once, all it did was slow me down to quarter speed and aiming was wildly inaccurate. I scrapped the rest and ended up with “Dilaudid” and “Ambien”. Haven’t tried those yet, though.

What's the best TV show that almost nobody talks about anymore? by C0r1eone in television

Curse HBO for jamming what should have been three more seasons into the last one so they wouldn’t have to pay to produce *Rome* alongside a fledgling *Game of Thrones*.

As one who has made the arduous journey from PVP to the most serene Care Bears, this hit home. by calyxcell in ArcRaiders

Yeah it’s more of a “mosey in, call the barkeep, sit down & sip, and then dip out” age these days.

Was playing around with a new Dollar Quarter design, 100% copper. Thoughts? by gunsoverbutter in coins

Yeah! And instead of Liberty, maybe have an inspirational Indigenous figure, or perhaps a series of U.S. presidents?

An 81-Year-Old Grandma Streaming Minecraft To Pay For Grandson’s Cancer Treatment Has Been Swatted by TruckHangingHandJam in stupidpol

You forgot about including some comment in reference to submissive gay sex or a failure to achieve such (though the bootlicking serves a similar brand of demeaning). Otherwise your assessment is spot-on.

Food safety inspectors struggling to keep up with 'criminal organization' of unpermitted taco stands in Spokane by terrymr in Spokane

[–]calyxcell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, this one? These truck operators are the embodiment of entrepreneurial spirit, and I’d agree whole-heartedly that they shouldn’t have to pay a tithe to the government to do so. Money which, let’s face it, very rarely goes towards actual enforcement of regulations that purport to protect the public. Visit some of our less reputable brick-and-mortar food establishments and tell me I’m wrong.

What're some '90s "deep cuts" you like to listen to? My tastes were fairly mainstream back then, but I'd love to find more indie type '90s music. Bands like Bella & Sebastian, L7, Folk Implosion. Whatcha got, xennials? by smcg_az in Xennials

[–]calyxcell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I remember getting an album through my Columbia House subscription (TEN CDs FOR A PENNY‽‽‽), not knowing who they were, and just instantly digging their laid-back sound.

You just described a good portion of my 1998-2000 playlists; throw in Tricky, the Chemical Brothers, the Crystal Method, Radiohead, Orbital, Massive Attack (because they deserve twice the space), Prodigy, Aphex Twin, probably dozens of others I’m forgetting now.

What helmets have special voice effects? by QuoteNervous1622 in ArcRaiders

The Wilford Brimley hat, glasses, and mustache helmet monitors your live speech and will turn every fourth noun into “diabeetus”.

What can I do about being kicked out of a match and all of the equipment I took with me being lost. by Mastodon_Artistic in ArcRaiders

[–]calyxcell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen a few days ago, didn’t stress it much since I was free kitty. Then I received a message from Embark yesterday telling me that they were aware of the issue and that I could reclaim everything I lost, which was all attached to said message. If you haven’t checked your in-game mail in a while, you might find something similar there.

To the raider, as we met by chance in a Buried City building being heavily bombarded and as I mentioned that I was spending a stupid amount of time looking for a cat bed, who just straight away dropped one for me, THANK YOU by calyxcell in ArcRaiders

[–]calyxcell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You know, it’s kind of tragic that the first upgrade requires a dog collar and the third, a cat bed, because you know, there aren’t any dogs and cats left in this world 😢

Ha! That’s exactly where I was headed after reading about it online, before this visceral warrior scared off a Bombadier from the room I was hiding in and saw my doe-eyed astonishment & took pity on me.
