It's fascinating reading your side of this, everything you said tracks with getting paid by insurance carriers as well. I'm a revenue analyst for an insurance agency. There are no established rules or SOPs they follow. They each make up their own thing. For each established rule one carrier follows, there's another one who does something completely different. Some of their websites are really good and helpful while others are the oldest looking sites I've seen in years. We have a team of people who are assigned carriers, and only work with those carriers, so we can keep track of how each one operates and pays us. It's a mess. I couldn't imagine trying to navigate all these carriers by myself in order to get paid, on top of managing a practice.

This car is perfect for getting out of awkward conversations. Anytime you want to leave, just say, "I have to pea" and drive away.

It's also very expensive compared to other finish options like plating or different types of paint. I would be surprised if price wasn't also a factor.

My house was one of the ones hit in this storm. Baseball sized hail was blowing in sideways and broke a window. We lost a huge limb from our oak in the front yard. I got a roof inspection yesterday and it's shot, it needs replacement. This was an expensive storm for me, but it could've been much worse. One of my coworkers said her neighbor's tree fell on her house.

Maybe twelvend or twelv-econd or twelfond? My brain hurts.

Are the prices coming down at all?

Seeing Tron: Legacy in 3D in theaters is one of my favorite theater memories. Regardless of how the story turns out, I'll probably see this for the visuals alone.

I hope Bouldy is in the cubicle next to him.

It's because it's safer from an investor perspective. A reboot of a successful movie and continuations in established series have more predictable revenue than an original story, which is why originals have become more rare. It all comes down to money.

It's so funny to me that we have to circumvent the site's paywall in order to read an article about pirating.
