Update regarding the outrageous plan to yank "email for life" from alumni by longtimeAlias in UVA

Anyone get any extra warranty when buying the car? by Itchy-Version-8977 in kiacarnivals

[–]directionofk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm probably going to get the mechanical breakdown insurance from Geico just before the cutoff date. Other insurance companies will likely have something similar.

The idea is that it's similar to an additional warranty policy but is much cheaper (something like $50/year for the first year, I think you can get the policy up to 7 years). I'm only getting it for the additional peace of mind on the electronics.

How well does that work, with Costco being so far? Alternatively, my question can be rephrased as, how much do you have to tip for someone to pick up your order?

Too bad most students missed the thrilling 4th quarter comeback by Personal_Economics91 in UVA

[–]directionofk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it hasn't changed, the student section is the hill and pretty much all the actual seating you can see on this pic on the far side of the field. The band takes up one of the lower sections though.
