  • When I got my license, I had a 1995 Geo Prizm that I affectionately called Dumpy. The paint was peeling on it, and I ended up removing the front quarter panel after a deer jumped into it (deer was walking on the side of a country road, I slowed down to 20mph, got over to the other side of the road, and it decided to jump headfirst into the side light as soon I got parallel to it). Still 100% reliable for years, and it was a manual, so no one tried to steal it, even when I managed to leave the key in the door in a city for 2 hours.

    Some cars aren't worth fixing. Dumpy was $1200 in 2010. Why would I spend $500 repairing the bumper, and $2-5k repainting it?

  • Yeah, that was a huge disappointment. I'm just glad Robert Jordan was able to leave enough notes to complete the series at least. I remember when he made the announcement that he had a terminal illness, and was surprised at how much he focused on the readers in that announcement. Truly a loss for the whole fantasy community when he passed.

    Looks like you can just plug this into a VHS player, hit play, and convert it yourself for $15

  • Mumford and Sons. Their first few albums were unique, and a nice change from everything else. Then they turned around and shit on everyone that liked their music before turning into Coldplay

  • Still my favorite series by a mile. I grew up with the series, and would reread the whole series before a new one was released. I was crushed when Robert Jordan died because I thought that meant the series would never be finished (and he seemed like a cool dude). I was ecstatic when they picked Brandon Sanderson to finish it, partly because he's also one of my favorite authors, but also because that dude is a machine that cranks out quality writing at an insane pace.

    I just finished rereading the series for probably the 15th time a few months ago, it might be time to start again.

    P.s. it's just getting started at book 3. Lord of Chaos (#6) is one of my favorites.
