Guy who plays the penguin is gonna make or break the season. Gordon is stiff, and he's supposed to be... which is why he's kind of a weird character. The show's gonna have to be driven by the villains, period.

I've liked it.

The acting isn't amazing but I'm mostly interested in all the villains that we didn't get to see unless batman was pewpewing them.

That kids doin' big things.

Delivery truck exceeded max height limits and knocked the clearance sign into my car. Good shit, had a nice chat with Max at Geico.
I'm currently at a calm rage, which, as everyone knows, is the most frightening level of rage.

At least you know who did it. You can sue that truck driver.

I had a construction worker throw a rock over an overpass while I was driving with the Panamera back in May. Called the city and they said "subcontractors, can't do anything about it" and my insurance company said no. Was told by my lawyer "litigation was a waste of time." The cost of getting that windshield replaced (among other things that break when those windshields need replaced, like the wiper function and radio reception) was one of the reasons I got rid of the car.

So far the company has been very collegial on the phone, so I'm hoping they're just gonna pay for the repairs out of their "shit happens" fund and I won't have to make a civil suit out of it. I have an off-duty police officer as a witness so I'm really lucky and I'm pretty sure there'll be really low resistance to cutting me a check.
I think it'll only be like $300 to repair the windshield. There's a dent that is minor enough to be taken out by home remedies but I'll have a shop do it if they're gonna pay for it, obviously.

The driver is well known with the regular workers here so it seems like an absolute fluke that it happened, because he's apparently been doing this same route going under the same signs for years. Maybe his tires were overinflated so he bounced abnormally high over the speed bump, or the wires holding the sign got old and started to sag or something. Seemed like a nice guy, he didn't realize he'd hit the barrier or that it had fallen. Far as I'm concerned it's between me and the company that owns the truck, since they've got insurance for these kinds of things.

Biggest issues are that my car needs an oil change and it's currently not street legal, and I was planning on going to home depot today which isn't accessible by public transport

hey..at least your cell phone stand is very solid

If he was an asshole you might be able to get a nice check (by that I mean you'd want to sue his ass). Negligence causes you to be overly anxious and scared when driving your car around big signs now and such.

maybe. I'm trying to be sensitive to the fact that he's made this same delivery upwards of 300 times and never had that problem. So I'm trying to be of the mindset that something irregular happened that wasn't necessarily in his control.

Don't care about getting extra money, just want my car fixed. Although everyone I've told about it has said "thank goodness you weren't hurt," which frankly I wasn't even thinking about before they said it. Of course I wasn't hurt, that's what the car is designed for.

You could probably ask for more money then is needed due to fear of litigation. I'd ask $400 for the windshield and $600-800 for the hood (argue the hood needs replacing).

But that's me. I'm always thinking about the potential for profit/loss.
