No, he's long dead.

How come its so high? Different countries and systems obviously but ours is €480 a year for 3 vehicles and 4 drivers, two of them are only 15 years old.

Edit 15 years old is 2 driver's, not ,2 cars

Two wrecks within a couple years of each other.

I prefer insanely low prices.
I wonder if @Shadow Wolf has a really bad driving record?

The sum of the whole, no.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And I thought Michigan insurance was spendy!
Yours is more than all of our vehicles combined.
And the plow truck has full coverage.

Before the first wreck I was paying about $100 a month for $100,000 coverage.

I started vaping again to get nicotine into my system to help my attention span and help me better focus on the road after the second one.

Carnival cruise brawl caught on camera broke out over alleged cheating, passenger says (msn.com)

An alleged threesome between passengers had upset their significant others when they learned of the rendezvous, according to James, who said she witnessed the fight from her door.

Beer bottles were smashed, and a woman may have been cut during the chaos, James said.

She described the guests involved in the fight as "ignorant fools acting stupid" and said the situation could have been worse if not for security.

Security had to call in the Coast Guard to help escort the ship to shore, according to the New York Post.

The ship arrived Tuesday morning with New York police waiting as it docked. Carnival said the ship docked in Manhattan as scheduled.

It's unclear if anyone was arrested or if New York or New Jersey authorities would handle it or another jurisdiction since it may have happened over international waters.

Meanwhile, James said that while the cruise got intense toward the end, it was an overall great vacation, and she has already booked another one with Carnival for August.

Goodness me. I guess it's not exactly "The Love Boat" anymore.

I spent hours this afternoon doing as an unpaid volunteer what I used to do for money - installing a piece of software on Linux with badly written, obsolete and incomplete documentation to mislead and confuse me and along with a gazillion web sites with obsolete, dead wrong, partially correct and even occasionally helpful hints.

I just learned there is a Maggie's Farm. I've not worked for it, but I ain't gonna work for Maggie's Farm at all.

No vaping..?

An unfortunate association exists for me involving the name "Maggie." When I was a kid, about the same time I learned the word "maggot" and what it meant, I also learned of the existence of the name "Maggie," mainly thanks to Rod Stewart's song of the same name.

I wish quitting that made it stink and taste terribly and horrendously bad like it is after quitting cigarettes, but alas that is just not that case so it's far easier to pick back up.

I remember a while back hearing about some kind of aversion therapy to quit smoking. They'd put someone in a room, have them smoke a cigarette, and give them an electric shock each time they took a puff.

I don't think I could do that, and I'm not even sure if it really works.

You probably already assume I have no experience with vaping and have never actually observed someone vaping.........you, musician meet retired machinist, ex jock...Square enough to be considered a cube...

I don't think much software work at all goes on here. Bashing each other with rhetorical clubs and nukes and mods troll hunting - yes. But software? I doubt it.
