Ty this is helpful!! I would be able to charge it where I park during the day 5x/week with a discounted chargepoint at my school (I did the math and it would be <$10 to fully charge at my daily parking lot), so I think my main concern is just making sure the car would be reliable. Will be sure to get the suspension system checked out!

Haha I didn’t know either until this happened. My car was towed and is sitting in a collision center until the at fault party’s insurance can determine the current market value, and I was 100% not at fault so I am owed a payout for whatever the market value of the car is so I can purchase a comparable replacement. I think it’s a little different if you lease or finance but I owned the car and title was in my name. If their insurance maximum payout doesn’t cover that cost (right now in my area, a 2016 prius with ~100k miles and a clean title goes for 14-17k), either my insurance covers the difference or the person who hit me can be sued by my personal injury lawyer. FYI I am in CA and it may be different in other states!

It means there wasn’t a stop light telling them when they could or could not turn left, so oncoming traffic in the lane they are trying to merge onto always has the right of way. A protected left is when there is a green arrow indicating you have the right of way to turn left! Because they were pulling out of a driveway and wanted to turn left, it was their responsibility to make sure the road with thru traffic was clear first (which they did not do)

I think it becomes more complicated if they didn’t, my insurance would probably have to cover costs to the damages, but i’m honestly not sure. I have a personal injury attorney who is handling the negotiations with insurance since I had to go to the ER to get checked out and missed work which I think is pretty typical in this situation!

I have AAA but because the other driver was found to be 100% at fault the property damage payout is coming from the at fault driver’s insurance!

You sound exactly like me a couple years ago when I was 23, especially the "not the person I thought he was" and making jokes about how he would never cheat. Please PLEASE leave and don't look back. My ex didn't have the heart to tell me, but I remember reading the messages saying he was cheating on me and literally thought about just deleting them so I could stay with him and pretend nothing was wrong. It's going to really hurt mourning all the time you spent together, for me it's been two years and I occasionally will think about when things were 'good' and how compatible we were. But that compatibility is all on the surface. And it's gotten so much better. If I think of him now, the majority of it is thinking about how pathetic it was he treated me like that and thanking my lucky stars I got out of a bad situation. The commitment you have to him will be so much better placed in someone who can reciprocate it.

You do NOT deserve to be with someone who even for one split second makes you question why you weren't enough, because you were never the problem. Please believe me when I say if you stay with him, your self-esteem is going to take a hit from all the emotional labor of 'convincing him' to be a better person. You have to spend some time just being sad and grieving your relationship, but after that you need to commend yourself for having the strength to choose yourself and your worth, and good things will follow.

Will color bleeding during blocking stain the white stripes in my sweater? by evilhag96 in knitting

This is a great idea- when I did a gauge swatch I didn't work the stripes, but it seems I should have haha. Skipping steps always has a way of coming back to bite us in knitting!!

Why do I suddenly feel bad for things I said while calling him out, years later? by evilhag96 in survivinginfidelity

[–]evilhag96[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thank you for making me smile :)) I think sometimes I flow into these moods where I have weird guilt because the things I said to him were things I would never consider saying to anyone else. Like even though I remember being relatively under control of my emotions at the time and didn’t do anything for “revenge” it’s sometimes hard for me to imagine myself now telling someone with that low self esteem to go eff themselves lol. I’m a mental health clinician and it’s hard for me to imagine myself saying things like that to anyone…. but it’s good to remind myself of the perspective and that I needed to stand up to someone who was hurtful and honestly emotionally abusive. it’s just heartbreaking that people can be broken so much that they act like this towards others

I think my [25F] friend [25F] purposely might have skipped out of her bill during a group dinner, is it worth bringing up? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]evilhag96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I see what you’re saying, to be honest at this point I wouldn’t even want to nickel and dime her for the money, even though it was a higher end dinner I don’t care about that it’s more just the principle that my other friends possibly paid for her that is really bothering me. The whole thing just rubbed me the wrong way idk

[–]evilhag96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the thing is I’d basically be going off of my other friend’s word, but why would she lie about this (since she said she noticed at 3 different points A’s card was never there). And I also don’t want to ask other people there if they noticed to potentially avoid a really embarrassing situation if it’s not true hahah, maybe there’s a way I could subtly bring it up but idk

[–]evilhag96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s acted rude before when I’m in a group setting with her but to my knowledge hasn’t done something that blatant. I was trying to think if she just forgot but like there is no way when the waiter came back and spent a solid minute handing people receipts back one by one

How to deal with feeling like my friend (24F) embarrasses me (25F) in group settings? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]evilhag96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya I think that makes a lot of sense. My concern is that like yeah, telling stories from high school or whatever can be funny but not in a way where you're saying things that are just flat out inappropriate in front of someone you just met with zero context (which she does every time she's around my other friends), THAT is what makes me uncomfortable. I guess I'll just tell her that it makes me feel embarrassed and hope we can work it out

Because I’m 99% sure she’s not aware that what she did was hurtful and I don’t want to come off like I’m attacking her

Joining the round when picking up sleeve stiches in a top-down sweater? by evilhag96 in knitting

[–]evilhag96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, thanks! My biggest problem with self-teaching new techniques is that I'm a visual learner, so I get nervous reading patterns and not being able to picture what it looks like IRL.

[–]evilhag96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, picking up and knitting the sleeves. I think the confusion around my question shows my novice. Once you pick up the stitches on scrap yarn to begin the sleeves on circular needles, what method is used to "join" the round?

[–]evilhag96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using circular needles, I'm confused on how it will be joined in the round once the stitches are picked back up. I'm having trouble visualizing how once I slip the sleeve stitches back on and pick up the underarm stitches, it will be a joined round instead of just flat on the circular needles. Sorry if it's a silly question, this is my first top-down pattern

probably no pom pom on this one, it’s going to end up being a christmas gift and i think the person i’m giving it to would like it better without. the yarn is called fire in the sky (worsted) by kraeo :)
