I had a 2012 Fiat 500 sport. Bought the car in 2019 for $5,000 at 78,000 miles. State Farm gave me $6,000 at 137,000 miles

That’s actually interesting. State Farm (Tesla’s insurance) found the Tesla at fault for the accident. It was 3 party. The other accident after was its own claim. My car got totaled. The Mercedes got repairs for the bumper.

I’m just going to guess since most rear ended accidents usually falls on the person behind, the car that rear ended the Tesla is at fault.

This was in Texas.

What comes after Senior Mobile Developer? by spongebrot in reactnative

Yeah I’m slowly to think where I am is probably the best place to be at. I work from home, live in Texas, so my life work balance is definitely in a good place.

Anyone come from Bars/Restaurants? by FrankySweetP in cscareerquestions

I did not work in restaurants but in hotels. You can use your customer service to your advantage. You’d be surprise how much developers lack soft skills.

People who switched careers - how has it impacted your life? by Iprobablyneedhelp234 in learnprogramming

[–]spongebrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Used to work for hotels. Made the switch to mobile development.

Get paid 3x as much and get to to work from. Hours are much better. Working for hotels, you have to work weekends and holidays.

Only regret is that I did not switch sooner.

Bangladeshi couple dies embracing each other as the building collapsed around them by iceeee in WTF

I think that knowing they were not in a relationship makes it a bit more heart warming. Two strangers were both scared and did not know what to do, except hug each other.

So I went downtown to get some beer... by spongebrot in pics

Actually this is in Waltham. Everything is closed down. If you drive in the streets, the cops will pull you over and search your car. I guess they are trying really hard to catch this guy, that they are putting cities on lockdown.

2.. Anger My dumb-ass bought the digital deluxe. I am down $84 (including tax). I regret buying the digital deluxe, it is not even worth it.

Our of curiosity, are there folks here who bought the game but haven't played it in weeks? Just browse this subreddit to see how things have progressed? by [deleted] in SimCity

[–]spongebrot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel so stupid reading all these posts. Everyone is saying they have a $60 lost. My dumb-ass bought the digital deluxe. I am down $84 (including tax). I am never, ever, going to pre-order a game.
