    Actually that’s a great scam. Remove your own cat. Claim insurance. Reinstall. Profit.

    In seasonal rental, Samsung Smart TV with Comcast (not F1) - picture too big for screen in HD. Cannot see full scores or other writing on screen. Ok when HD turned off. Have googled the hell out of it and tried everything suggested but does not work! Not interested in contacting owner because they have obviously not figured out. Different brand tv in bedroom fine.

    But 100% agreed that some level of source tracking is needed at this point.

    Shit that annoys you

    A quick google says platinum is worth over $800/ounce in salvage, and there is up to 7grams in a cat. So that tweeker (or organized crime blue collar crime dude) sees maybe $200 in that high clearance vehicle in long-term, unsecured parking.

    Edit: well, guy at the bottom of the totem pole is probably getting 1/4 to 1/2 that value, but even then a couple hours work (with low risk apparently) is probably not bad wages all things considered.

    USAA has gone way downhill. Started with them in 1982. Got great service up through the late 90s. Significant drop in customer service since then. I won't bore with details but I've tried to find comparable coverage in the same price range but can't.

    I agree, I used to think they were great but they definitely went downhill. Have thought about switching but I'm not convinced that anyone is better (but no longer convinced that they're better).

    If I had an SUV or truck I would look at getting a piece of diamond plate welded over the whole thing. Happened to my friend here a couple of years ago. There are no inspection laws, so you're welcome to drive with a noisy polluting vehicle as long as you want and it seems like lots of people just get a straight pipe welded back on its place.

    At least they got this guy:

    They are probably trying to establish value to determine if your car is a POS they should total instead of paying for the cat.

    Great... a new way for pervs to flash people. E-pervs:




    Frustrated Pilot Tells Off Passengers Airdropping Nudes



    The “AirDrop thing” the pilot mentioned refers to iPhone users’ ability to send photos or other files to iPhones near them. It is unclear how many people were involved in the incident and who received the nude photos.

    Two months ago, a viral TikTok showed a flight attendant confronting a man on another Southwest flight who was caught allegedly AirDropping photos of his genitalia to other travelers.

    Here's a simple solution: don't have your AirDrop set up so randos can send you photos. Sheesh.

    Not that people should be sending out nude photos, but hard to believe people would have their phones set up to allow such a thing in the first place.

    I imagine there are quite a few people who are unaware of the feature.

    Apparently it's set to allow your contacts only by default, so users would have to specifically open it to everyone in the settings.

    We almost jumped ship when I had to add my son to our auto policy. The cost went up a huge amount- more than seemed fair to us. Geico would have been cheaper at that point but I procrastinated and once six months or a year had passed, I was on the phone with them about something else and asked for a review. It dropped back down a lot, probably as much as it had gone up. So we didn’t move anything. Their automated call system is just as annoying as anybody else’s and I can’t get the app to work on my phone but other than that, we haven’t had any real bad customer service problems so far. Knock on wood.

    I've always had great interactions with USAA customer service and all my claims have been paid efficiently.
