    Fun Insurance Experience Today

    I did. They first wanted to give 20% less than the car was worth but after a week of talking and sending ads from my area for comparable cars, they gave me an additional 10%. The net result is I got hosed on 10% of the car’s value.

    Fun Insurance Experience Today

    Also, I believe insurance companies are allowed to behave in opaque and generally underhanded ways. For example, after paying into my policy for my last car, when it was totaled, they stiffed me on its value by 10%. Why? Their own profit, that’s why. Another example is the way they generally...

    Fun Insurance Experience Today

    I don’t understand why a corporation that makes enormous profit every quarter needs to exist between me and the services I seek. Why can’t I just go to a doctor without getting permission from a hugely profitable corporation? Why is it illegal to drive without car insurance? Why do health...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    I know you didn’t ask me but it’s excellent if you like the genre. Fruity and sour and sweet and deep and a little funky and just really great.

    Huge Estervals Sale

    It was there 2 months ago. Glad it’s gone now.

    Huge Estervals Sale

    So the $135 purchase minimum is gone? It was still in place 2 months ago when I made my most recent order. It wouldn’t let me check out until I had at least €135 of product in my cart. Also, I’ve never seen the prices listed in $ before; it’s always been € for me. How strange.

    New C&D Small Batch? Steamworks?

    Cool mini review. Also, love the shape of that pipe. I have an Everyman Bulldog which doesn’t smoke super great (hot and wet) but I love the shape of it.

    Top 3 Burley’s?

    I know this is an old comment but I need to say that Esterval’s has shitloads of it for roughly $9/tin. Even after shipping it’s roughly $14/tin shipped to your door.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    When you smoke that blend, do you adhere to a specific ratio, do you smoke em individually or is every time different? Just curious.

    This C&D Tupelo is about to jump into this little Refbjerg Dublin with paneled shank and stem.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    Not sure if they ship to you but Esterval’s in Germany now sells C&D and GLP blends.

    Vinyl Set Up

    I I agree with everything here. I will say however that I was responding specifically to BGB about recording in digital as it seemed to me he was inferring the reason for shitty sounding vinyl might be the recording medium. I actually don’t really care much for vinyl. I prefer a lower noise...

    Vinyl Set Up

    I was born to be “that guy”: Digital recording and processing technology is so good now, it can be indistinguishable from analog except for analog’s much higher noise floor and even the noise has been integrated into many digital audio processors to make them sound more analog. If a modern...
