Only thing that’s annoying is certain niche communities are completely dead on lemmy

“the things that made Reddit Reddit years ago, before it turned into generic social media”

Bingo. From a financial standpoint reddit doesn’t care about how it used to be. Being generic social media is worth more money to them

Also if you look at how terrible the place looks on google maps, you would well believe it only cost 150 pounds 😂 because the guy is running a run down dirty garage lol

Depends a lot on the amount of damage done though. If its a tiny scrape, it would only take a few minutes to fix it

No problem.

Given you did hit her car or scratch it or whatever, 150 pounds is about as little as you could have expected to pay. Whether she fixes the car or not doesnt really matter but I do believe she did it would not make sense to fake an invoice for that.

She could still TRY claim off insurance but given you have written confirmation from her that she fixed it already, I doubt that will happen

I am assuming you are from the US given you state prices in dollars, which may have varying prices to the UK

For a minor scratch I can’t imagine the price being 500 dollars or euros personally, I would have imagined it would be a lot less. 150 does seem a little cheap but it really depends on the extent of the damage, if its just a small scratch it could be 150. If its a decent scrape and its deep into the paintwork it will be a lot more

Nobody wants you to be Jamie vardy but they do want you to not make the team lose the ball constantly 😂 hopefully with time I can improve

I would imagine him having the invoice of it being fixed and her sending it to him would hold up against an insurance claim. People settle minor stuff like this outside insurance all the time and that stuff doesn’t happen

If I was you I would just pay the 150 pounds.

The invoice looks pretty similar to garages because they tend to just be ran by one or two people and dont have sophisticated invoice generation. Their systems are old school and work off pen and paper, which is what your (or her) invoice was.

Also, you could argue that even if she didnt get the work done, 150 pounds sounds about right for a slight backup/bump into another car. If she wanted to pocket the money, or possibly wait and get the car fixed at a later date, that would possibly be her right too.

If the invoice is inflated (e.g. Its a fake invoice and a higher amount than you damaged) thats a different story. That would be fraud. But I am not sure 150 pounds is inflated. A worry about getting it done outside insurance is people will defraud you and make their mechanic produce a fake invoice, higher than the actual amount. But its hard to see that happened here given its such a small amount.

Invoice shows it was just a simple repaint which sounds about right

I haven’t ever participated in it but its just a canvas you can draw stuff on but requires lots of people cooperating together. Could be fun to do with friends I guess, like a common thing is drawing your countries flag with fellow countrymen

On reddit you go to /r/place and can place a pixel on a certain place on this huge canvas of like… idk 5000 * 5000 pixels wide? Its a huge canvas of pixels. So you and your friend or another subreddit can try team up and conquer part of the canvas, lets say the bottom right corner. And then you can all work together and create a little flag or another picture/image like this one. I am not sure on the limit of how many pixels each user can post per minute, or the exact number of pixels, but its roughly something like 5000-10000 pixels wide and high

EDIT: This image you see would be a tiny portion of the entire canvas. You can tell because the resolution of ‘Spez’ for example is pretty bad, which means its only a few pixels wide. If it was taking up the entire canvas it would be perfect resolution and you wouldnt see janky edges

This is an example of the entire canvas at some point over the past few days. Its probably actually something like 50000x50000 pixels

No i dont think he should be decapitated literally but maybe in the sense he would not be involved in Reddit anymore

Do you think Marie antoinette shouldnt have been killed?

Well I can say the technology ive seen in them I haven’t seen in any other car, ever. Being able to look at the car on your phone when its 100s of kms away, see all the cameras around it, have it begin recording if someone walks near it or a car drives near it while its parked… I haven’t driven any other electric but the acceleration is also something I have never experienced in a car either.

Have you ever driven one? Probably not I’m guessing

My mam sends me them sometimes but shes just old lol

You don’t need a different user for each instance unless the two instances you want to comment between are defederated.

Ahh but theres now 3 i have to browse

I’ve donated to wikipedia before because I feel its valuable to me for all the information it gives.

I might donate to lemmy if i feel its valuable to me for information or discussions
