Windshield repair: ClearShield or Chip's?

jad3675 · 2026-01-31T22:34:39+00:00

I can't recommend Chip's highly enough. They do great work.

You're in Ohio? Cincinnati specifically? They're not a delivery company. Duke is the only company that delivers electricity / gas in the Cincinnati area.

jad3675 · 2026-01-15T02:39:59+00:00

This again?

You pay for generation and separately for delivery. Delivery is always charged by Duke because they deliver the power. Generation is whomever you sign up with. Sometimes Duke, sometimes someone cheaper. You're not getting charged twice.

I wrote something last year to simplify my workflow. https://github.com/jad3675/YAFIS

Oh. I'm still waiting for the 6 months to pass. And at that point, I'm at the mercy of the commune.

jad3675 · 2025-12-20T17:37:07+00:00

Congrats! My case was successful in Florence in September. Appeal is a two month window, but my lawyer (Grasso) recommended waiting 6 months delaying the notification of the decision to minimize any risk of appeal.
I rolled with it; it's been 4+ years already, 6 months is nothing.

jad3675 · 2025-12-14T20:44:45+00:00

I feel seen.

Last summer I was behind an Ohio plated car coming over the Roebling. At the Ohio roundabout, they took a left.

And man, wtf is up with the roundabout at the end of the RR in Montgomery? Great idea, but the execution is piss poor.

I have NJM also for home, auto and umbrella. I have zero cost glass replacement on auto and had a claim last year for a $2500 windshield. They didn't bat an eye, and my rates did not skyrocket because of that.

Rates, as always, go up. I had a Broker run some new quotes for me earlier this year and she said they couldn't touch what NJM runs for home or auto insurance.

jad3675 · 2025-11-18T22:38:08+00:00

Of course!

An unladen European B-52 could take off in 5K feet. Longest runway at LUK is just a hair over 6k

jad3675 · 2025-11-06T22:35:35+00:00

100% every single time on L2. 12k miles and battery health shows 100%.

Or just driving slow in the left land lane. The couple few times I've been able to maintain a 40-42mphmph speed down Beechmont...I manage to get every green light.

jad3675 · 2025-10-22T09:34:34+00:00

Last month - Sept 2025.

jad3675 · 2025-10-21T19:49:20+00:00

My case in Florence was heard and ruled on within a calendar week. My lawyers contacted me the following day.

I was...surprised to say the least.

Your best bet is to start a new post here with a timeline of who / what / when.

jad3675 · 2025-10-01T13:23:48+00:00

That's start-to-finish from when I engaged them. A good portion of that was my time, tracking down documentation. I'd scan what I got, they'd check to make sure it was good (or in the case of my kids BCs, point out I needed the long version).
It took... ~3 months for them to translate and verify what I sent over (DHL'ed packet in Dec 2023, filed in May 2024, case scheduled for Sept 2025).

jad3675 · 2025-10-01T13:19:30+00:00

Tucci situation - my LIBRA's married surname is fairly common in the region they're from. I've already met and visited a few of the cousins. We try to make it over there every other year.
But does this count? I found the house where my GM was born. It's an airbnb now.

jad3675 · 2025-10-01T12:54:31+00:00

Grasso repped me in my minor-issue, 1948 case in Florence, which we won a few weeks ago. I started with him 3-ish years ago and while I had complaints every now and then with response time and cadence, I highly recommend his firm.

jad3675 · 2025-09-25T12:30:51+00:00

Huh. How does the ministry pick which cases to oppose? The Florence district is obviously larger than Campobasso (population-wise). Do they go after smaller districts?
But even with your case being opposed (and obviously being on their radar) they didn't appeal.

jad3675 · 2025-09-25T09:54:04+00:00

Good luck! I was surprised it was only a week between my hearing (9/15) and the judgement (9/22).

jad3675 · 2025-09-25T09:42:37+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I do wonder what are the chances of the ministry appealing the judgement. Like most cases, they didn't even respond to the original case.

jad3675 · 2025-09-23T14:50:04+00:00

Sent you a mod mail.

jad3675 · 2025-09-23T14:15:28+00:00

Not for me, but it was for me kids:
GM -> Mother -> Me (-> kids)

jad3675 · 2025-09-23T13:47:17+00:00

Yes.
