Salt Peanuts

Drove to my shop to sign a paper so they can actually start looking at my car in earnest and coordinate with the insurance company. Why they couldn't tell me about needing to sign these forms last week is beyond me. Now it probably be another week before they'll figure out if the car will be repaired or totaled.

Happy Birthday!

The car is 2010 Honda Fit with ~33K miles on it, and from what I gathered, the damn thing is still valued at $13,000-$15,000. Predictably, we still owe money on it.

Got the initial repair estimate from my insurance company to the tune of ~$8000, not quite enough to be declared a total loss, but we may still get there once my shop actually starts looking at things under the hood. At this point, a total loss would be better as the car has basically no trade-in/resale value with its accident history.

FYI, if you option + click on the volume icon on the menu bar, you can choose your output/input devices.

146 + 3 = 149

Just picked up my wife after an accident (she was not at fault and she's okay) and now we're trying to get all the phone calls/paperwork squared away. According to my wife, the other driver was very polite and admitted fault (along with two people who gave my wife their business card in case she needed a witness) so the insurance/repair should go relatively painlessly. I'm starting to think this car is cursed seeing as this is the third time in a year that this car has been in an accident.

So it appears Verizon has slowed my connection since my old plan (20 down/5 up) no longer exists.

Congrats on the gig, Dan!

I keep forgetting to put in waiver claims this year for some reason, and my team 2 is going to suffer for it starting this week.

At least you're won't be needing them to beat me. I'll be surprised if I break 80 points this week in league 2.

Shelly, under Sound Effects tab within Sound on System Preferences, there should be a pull-down menu to let you choose where sound effects/system sounds will be played through (along with muting said sound altogether). Back when I was using Duet, I had it set to have the sound effects will be played through internal speakers so it wouldn't be sent to Duet.

After promising myself repeatedly in the past not to do so on a weekend, went to the local H Mart (a large Asian grocery store chain) anyway. A horrible choice. The store was packed and it made for a bit of frustrating visit. At least they had the brand of rice I usually buy in stock this time. Stopped at Five Guys for lunch and all was well.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

This. The few games I've managed to watch thus far this season have all been painful to watch. On fantasy front, I'm now 1-2 for the league I actually drafted.

Happy Birthday!

Dunno, Nate. I think you still gotta a good chance - Green Bay offense hasn't exactly been in sync thus far.

Damn. Granted I don't pay for extra speed on my cable, but that's faster than my FiOS.

Buy it and find out?
