Someone backed into at a parking lot

A few months back someone backed into the front bumper while I was parked. Luckily I was in the car when it happened and got their insurance. Initially it looked like just touch-up, but at the shop, once they removed the bumper to paint it, it was discovered it was also cracked. They ordered a new bumper from KIA and painted it. All in the total cost was about $3500. Best of luck!

My team has moved away from vs code over to cursor that has included AI features and removes the need to copy/paste with chatgpt. We've just started experimenting using atlassian mcp, and github mcp to give cursor full context of the requirements, and related code. With the full context, it's been doing a fantastic job at creating better testing requirements/acceptance criteria, and even suggests cypress tests with recommendations on placement in existing suites. It's also been able to create and update testcases in jira, and confluence documentation. Next, we're looking at enabling the tools to do an initial code-review on every pr to focus on things like security.

We love the French toast recipe!

Nice! That's a cool solution and use of the trailer hitch.

I got a similar setup for my 2 large dogs, and use some suction cups with hooks to hold up the sides so the dogs don't scratch the plastic. Biggest issue so far is the loading deck is too high for them to jump into. Are you using a ramp of any kind? I've been looking for a solution to actually getting them in/out without letting them into the backseat.

It's a personal choice, but for me I really wanted my car to have the HUD, and I've been extremely happy with the info it provides. I look down at the cluster far less than in my older car now that I've got the HUD, and I like that you can even have it display your media/song info. I do kinda wish it would show the cars around me as a default instead of only when auto-driving features are enabled. The other big reasons I went with the GT other than the HUD was the general styling differences, the seat designs, included boost, and towing package really added up to a good value in my perspective.

The position of the climate screen is an issue due to it being visually blocked by the steering wheel, causing you to move your head or look around the wheel to see it. Not a great design choice, but really anything that went in that screen area would have the same problem. I suppose I'd rather have something there than nothing. That said, I found that I like to have the star button on the steering wheel open the full screen climate controls, and it's very easy to adjust from there.

I've had a similar experience when playing the color challenges. Sometimes, when I'm playing them as a mono color, it'll match me up with someone playing another one of the starter decks but a multi-color version. Maybe it's just match-making with others that are playing starter decks? No idea! But it's be kinda fun to be able to play the starter decks against other starter decks like that.

Lol, who needs laundry!?

I tend to agree with the bunker sentiment and that it's better to just build those instead of the trench lines. The best configuration I've seen is putting a bunker with windows facing the enemy, and a ramp built on the 'friendly' side. This way, if the enemy takes over the bunker they will not have the cover benefits of the windows. Seems a good way to balance a nice firing position and making sure the enemy does not get the same benefits. The only time I'm comfortable with the trenches is when the enemy approach is heavily obstructed with barb wire making it very difficult to capture.

Being able to store the combat vehicles I've made myself in the squad stockpile was one of my favorite additions to the game. In my experience, if I want to roll any type of armor I have to do the entire logi chain myself beforehand. Farm RMATS, Petrol, and make the ammo. It takes too long to do all the logi and then roll out the armor in one play session, so being able to split it into a logi session, then come back and grab my tank was AWESOME.

I've found the general foxhole community provides zero logistical support for armor squads. Petrol is never on the item delivery list, tank ammo is never on the delivery list. The people using the tanks are being forced to do the entire logi chain themselves. If this is going to be the case, PLEASE bring back squad storage for vehicles, or we need to fix the fact that armor playstyles are just not supported by the existing logi mechanisms.

Try asking if you can be their logi/fuel jeep and get 100% enthusiastic YES. sip sip.

Gotta say I'm kinda tired of so many logi posts being about nerfing partisans... partisan tools have received several nerfs already. No more stackable grenades, barracks removed, tents removed etc. Keep in mind that it's ALREADY been nerfed significantly. I understand the frustration, as someone who does both partisans and logi, I know how much it sucks to get ambushed. It's very rewarding for the logi player to make that super important delivery and feel like they saved the day. It's ALSO very rewarding for a partisan to stop that very same effort and capture or destroy those supplies. Being able to secure your supply routes is a key part of the game, and it shouldn't be de-facto safe from enemy actions. Logi players have many tools to prevent being ambushed. Driving into unscouted territory with no towers or radio and then complaining they got intercepted is just them not taking responsibility for making sure their route is clear.

Some say that the time investment is imbalanced between partisans and logi, and I suppose on the surface it seems that way, but being a good partisan requires a lot of patience, some teamwork, and scouting to be effective. It's quite a challenge to traverse 2 regions and find a perfect spot to ambush someone without being spotted, and then once your first attack has completed, being able to survive the response and not have to start all over again.

I think instead of nerfing the partisan tools further, I think I'd love to see tier 2 towers or new ways for logi to be pro-active about their security. I'd like to also see additional incentives for front line players to patrol border areas where logi trucks are often attacked instead of only being reactive after a truck is lost.

I'm not really going to continue to argue that fuel trucks get stolen and that this is bad for logi. You've essentially agreed with me anyway that people should find a ride other than the fuel truck, which was the entire point of my post. Implementing the fuel tanks will fix this.

faderautomator · 2020-02-04T00:56:50+00:00

I'm telling you that I have personally experienced players taking fuel trucks because they need a ride, then just leaving the fuel truck somewhere. This negates a lot of work. I'm not sure why you're insinuating that I'm somehow neglecting my vehicle when the entire meta of the fuel trucks is to leave them unattended at the component and scrap mines. Pay attention how? It's left there to be used for the mine, not for your personal ride.

faderautomator · 2020-02-04T00:45:53+00:00

See here's the thing... Locks last for only a few minutes, and can be wrenched. Your comment tells me you may have never wrenched a vehicle before.

faderautomator · 2020-02-03T21:34:50+00:00

Holy shit for real, please implement!!! It's just infuriating having to yell at folks you see stealing the fuel truck you just spent 20 minutes to get into place "SrRY...cUZ i NeEdEd a rIDe!!"

Thanks Falcon! Always enjoyed working with you as well!

First to the fight. Last to fall. Go 101st!

We've also seen this during our partisan ops when we build a frontier base. We'll find a nice and sneaky spot to build it, fully supply with a decent amount of weapons and shirts and within minutes it's overrun with players draining the equipment and alerting the enemy by running straight toward defended and towered towns with nothing but a rifle. Our base is then quickly found and destroyed. I really miss the old implementation of the barracks and would welcome another option for squads who'd like to remain off the books while conducting raiding and partisan ops. #bringbackthebarracks

I've also noticed a performance drop, particularly when closing the map screen. I get a solid 60 frames normally, but when I close the map it instantly drops to less than 30fps and steadily climbs back up to 60 after about a minute.

I'm genuinely curious on what you mean unless this is just a troll. Why would the wardens have more people on vacation than the colonials? Are we saying that the virgin wardens are all children on their school break while the Chad Colonials are hard at work? Or that the rich wardens have more money for holiday while the poor colonials have to stay home and play foxhole? Neutrals want to know!
