The pictures you got for your story are a result of plagiarism.

I'm not actually making a value judgement. If they make you happy, that's great and im happy for you.

Kinda like how diamond engagement rings make people happy. You gotta accept how that sausage was made

I live in Canada, so things get a lot less complicated around medical bills, specifically.

Where things get really dicey, money-wise is around if you can't work due to injury.

I think the minimum personal liability you have to carry is a million, but it's pretty common to have 2 million.

Even at that, IMO it's still not really enough. If you mashed someone up so bad they can't work anymore, even a full unadulterated 2 million isn't going to square a lifetime of lost income.

I'm not coming out here to say Insurance is great. Just that if we're going to talk about the issues. I just think we owe it to ourselves to understand it well enough to have clear critism based on reality. I was concerned that some of the previous posts weren't communicating reality clearly (possibly more to do with my own reading as opposed to thier writing).

Considering how trivial it is to build, and the plethora of working examples on github, I expect anyone is one chatgpt prompt away from running afoul of this.

I can do it for Mega Crit. Very few others. Klei I'd do as well.

I'm not sure if either of your points are quite right.

The first is that auto insurers aggressively fight suits. I think they're generally settled quickly. Lawyers are brutally expensive, a sustained fight very quickly becomes more expensive than a payout.

The second is the notion that an individuals lifetime premium payments are capping the injury payout in order for an insurer to stay in the black. That isn't the gamble insurers are making. Their bet is that MOST of thier drivers won't end up with a massive liability, which is why they can payout an individual liability far in excess of that person's lifetime payments and still stay comfortably in profit.

I grew up in the far north, winters were very long and very dark. Every kids jacket had prominent reflective materials.

I still look for that when I get a winter jacket.

I thought one of the reasons you have vehicle insurance is precisely so that if you hit someone, they can sue you and you can't just weasel out of it by declaring bankruptcy?

The difference between now and 18 months ago is that the shape of the dems had already formed. The groups on the different tracks were already tied down.

Who is the 2028 candidate?

There is time now to pressure the dems to pull Palestine off thier leg of the track.

It isn't the trolly problem... yet.

 
 

Our city leaves free dirt out at the fire station for people to spread on their sidewalks in the winter. I grabbed some for the back ally which is very icy.

I probably only grabbed 30 lbs or so, but I was still very diligent to lift it properly. Last thing I need over the holidays is to have a sore back.

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
