Other What's ruining your life right now?

I'm not sure how fast you have to go for it to count as a misdemeanor here, but its not 20, because i still have my license. I was pissed because wrote the ticket for 20 over instead of 21, and acted like it was a HUGE favor. it really pissed me off too that I was working when it happened, trying to deliver pizzas that were already late when i left the store. I just wanted to punch the cop in the face.

 

It's not ruining my life, but there's a fair chance that some life-ruining circumstances which I find myself in lately are to blame. Those I won't go into at the moment (I'd be here all night ) but what has ruined my day is the fact that I've had a thumping headache since the minute I got out of bed and it hasn't let up yet. I've been eating asprin like skittles all day and they haven't helped :/ I'm going to see if I can sleep it off

 

20mph over the limit here would get you atleast a $400 ticket. Probably closer to $600.

 

the fact that i think i got played.

 

I've never been done for speeding. I've been stopped for it once, and stopped for other misdemeanors a few times (fog lights when it's not foggy, wrong turning out of a one way turn at 3am etc) but never booked for it

 

Currently looking at doing a mod with a Mini - ITX, the list of problems gets longer and longer.

 

Space Empires V (rediscovered it after making my moves in Neptune's Pride and not having had my fill of spatial exploration and strategy). It truly is a time sink.

 

At least you dont have the misdemeanor law in WA. One of the reasons I still love my home state and the west coast. Ironically, I'll bet you anything, that speeding isnt a big issue in WA. I bet the cops there write more tickets for Fog Lights and headlight/Windshield Wipers then they do for speeding.

 

I dropped a soldering iron between my toes. It was at full temp.

With my bad hand, it took me over a minute to get it free.

I have two toes wrapped separately in UnnaBoot, packed with gauze, and taped with CoFlex.

There was blackened skin, and everything else was white. I barely felt it.

Worst part? I have known poor circulation. I have to watch this like a hawk to prevent complications.

Yay.

 

Re: Speeding tickets:
Around here, you get ticketed at anything up to 60km/h over the limit. That's ~37mph.
After that, you license will probably get suspended, and you are probably looking at jailtime or a very large fine.
DUI (i know through a friend that got caught slightly over the limit) ends you up with 4000,- bail money (roughly 350 GBP or 500-600USD), a suspended license for 6 months and a fine of 6000,-, which is offset against bail, i.e. another 2000,-.

That's after you got a lawyer, paid him and plaeding guilty to all charges.
Arguing the charges is likely to get your license taken and jailtime or >10K fines.

 

specifically in walla walla i think the cops get people for DUIs mostly haha, since about 3 or 4 ppl at my work cant do deliveries due to losing licenses to DUIs.

 

Waiting for overclockers do deliver my 5970

 

They want to get people with that brutal $5,000 fine

A couple of years ago I got clocked at 100km/h on an 80km/h stretch of road. I actually had a cop tailing me in a civilian car for a couple of km before he switched on the horrible flashing blue lights. So I got slapped with an 8000,- NOK fine (about £800). That was a bitter 8000,- NOK!

Since then I've become very wary of cars tailing me. I'm checking for any moves they make that hints at being a cop, and I also check the make of the car behind me as well as the first two letters in the license plate number. I've driven fine free since then.

 

I wouldn't say "ruining" but definitely enlightening;

I don't expect users to know a damn thing about what they need on a computer anymore.

People with real problems on this forum don't post nearly as often as those of us with no real problems. Kinda makes us whining little bitches.

100% agree with this! My copy of the new Iron Maiden album was dispatched today Yay for preorders!

 

My whole right arm is swollen like crazy and I don't know why. I'm not tanned on my biceps and triceps (i wear t shirts) and because the skin is white there, I can see my arm is almost purple ... It's the third time it's done that since yesterday it's also the time that lasted the longest. I just slept for 4 hours and it's still swollen..

However, as I type this, I can tell it's getting slightly better because my arm feels slightly colder and I don't feel the pressure as much.


wtf could this be

 

Spider bite?
