DaemonFCI got my 90 day notice to renew my lease.Aug 29 15:43
DaemonFCI can't believe I've been here for almost a year already.Aug 29 15:43
DaemonFCFor something with dozens of pages to fill out, they can be surprisingly terse....Aug 29 15:43
DaemonFC:)Aug 29 15:43
DaemonFCI managed to crack my front bumper trying to get my car to the shop.Aug 29 15:56
DaemonFCI figured I'd just pour brake fluid in and limp down to the shop. It was working fine for a few blocks, then as soon as I was pulling in, the brakes gave out completely and I hit a parking post.Aug 29 15:56
DaemonFCOh well.Aug 29 15:56
DaemonFCThe car is probably going to last a couple more years before I can't patch it up anymore.Aug 29 15:57
DaemonFCI really need to start saving for a newer one, but there's no way to save when you're always putting out fires.Aug 29 15:57

DaemonFC ZOMG PINK PONIES says:Aug 29 16:05
DaemonFCWell, if they want to make themselves irrelevant by making themselves obscure, that really is their problem. I don't know how they can keep bitching about piracy when the problem has never just been about money.Aug 29 16:05
DaemonFCThe problem has more to do with crappy inferior services like Amazon, Apple, and Google have. Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails, lots of money) was a member of OiNK's Pink Palace because he said iTunes sucked. (His words, not mine. I've never used it for various reasons, mainly because it's proprietary and Apple products don't really follow any standards and are hostile to non-Apple products.) Aug 29 16:05
DaemonFC:)Aug 29 16:06
DaemonFCYeah, in an ideal world, it wouldn't matter what computer you used because all the data formats would just simply be interchangeable, but thanks to patents, DRM, and proprietary software, that doesn't happen as much as we'd all like it to. Aug 29 16:07

DaemonFCWell, I got some good news about my car.Aug 29 19:28
DaemonFCTurns out that what's wrong with it is just that some brake lines are so old, they rusted out and leaked out all of my fluid.Aug 29 19:28
DaemonFCThe "good news" is it's only going to cost half of what I thought was wrong with it. :PAug 29 19:29

DaemonFCThere was another form that asked me what kind of car I drive and what the license plate number was. (So they don't tow it...)Aug 29 20:30
DaemonFCThat's important.Aug 29 20:30
DaemonFCOf course, my car is in the shop so I couldn't go out and look.Aug 29 20:30
DaemonFCI had to log in to the Indiana state website and get my license plate number from there.Aug 29 20:30
MinceRdon't you have some documentation for the car with you?Aug 29 20:30
DaemonFCWell, yeah. The vin number.Aug 29 20:31
DaemonFCThe plate number is on the registration too, which is...in the car.Aug 29 20:31
