Comparing One Day Car Insurance Policies: What to Look For ?
For UK drivers seeking short-term coverage, one-day car insurance policies offer flexibility and convenience. Whether it’s for a quick road trip, test driving a new vehicle, or borrowing a friend’s car, understanding what to look for in temporary car insurance is crucial to make an informed decision.
1. Coverage Options: Assess the coverage offered by different policies. Look for comprehensive options that include liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, ensuring you have adequate protection for unexpected incidents.
2. Cost Considerations: Compare the costs of one day car insurance from different providers. Be aware of any hidden fees and understand the total cost of the policy, including taxes and administrative charges.
3. Eligibility Criteria: Check the eligibility criteria for temporary one day car insurance. Some policies may have age restrictions, requiring drivers to be a certain age or have a clean driving record.
4. Ease of Purchase: Evaluate how easily and quickly you can purchase the insurance. Look for providers that offer online quotes and a streamlined application process for immediate coverage.
5. Policy Exclusions: Examine policy exclusions and limitations carefully. Understand what situations or circumstances may not be covered to avoid surprises in case of a claim.
6. Customer Reviews: Read customer reviews to gauge the reputation and reliability of the insurance provider. Positive feedback from other users can provide insights into the efficiency of the claims process and overall customer satisfaction.
Choosing the right one day car insurance in the UK involves careful consideration of coverage, costs, eligibility, and customer reviews. By comparing policies, drivers can secure temporary coverage that meets their specific needs, ensuring peace of mind during short-term driving scenarios.

In celebration of the worst week of my life ending tomorrow (hopefully) (please) as soon as I am done getting my stuff out of the car so the place that towed it can release it to insurance I am coming home, taking the edible my brother gave me for christmas and then as hot of a shower I can manage, and refusing to participate in anything more strenuous than watching a movie
#tomorrow will be by the way a total of eight (8) days since I filed the claim on the car#do you know how many of those days I have heard from insurance#if you guess 1 you would be correct!#which is why the car was towed! bc my case rep never reached back out to me to go over next steps#genuinely if the tow place makes me pay the fee before releasing it to insurance I am gonna commit a felony

man living on your own is expensive lol
#what do you MEAN i already have less than $100 left from my $460 paycheck 5 days ago#i sent my partner $200 for rent#had $110 come out for car insurance#i bought like $50 in groceries/household items#filled my moms car that i was borrowing for $35#$15 patreon charge#$12 on $1 energy drink stock up#spoiled myself with pretzelmaker for like $9 (the smallest size pretzel bites they had. unbelievable btw)#and transferred $46 to my savings account#which... now that i'm adding it up is 477#$16 more than my paycheck lol#urgh#maybe it's time to find a second job or a side hustle or just a different job that pays more#i'm in the running for a promotion though and that might get me like a $1.40 pay raise#but i know my state is also trying to push a $15 minimum wage bill which would be a $2.90 raise lol#i don't think a MANAGER should be making $12.10 an hour but thats just me#like idk the only reason i'm staying is because i like the store and there's good growth opportunities if you put the work in#my partner works with the same company and became a store manager in less than a year#i've been there for almost 3 (with some gaps) but the district manager has seemingly set his sights on me next#but its also just a very mentally (and physically) exhausting job#i think i might enjoy being a mechanic#decent pay don't have to talk to customers all the time and get knowledge on how to fix my own car#anyways i think ive derailed the point of this post

I'm going to interrupt my normal posting schedule briefly to discuss naming airplanes. Don't worry, I'll post the regularly scheduled Friday review after this, but first I'm going to talk about naming airplanes.
When I say that I don't mean naming types of airplanes. I mean giving the airplanes names. A lot of airlines do it. Back in the day you had your Clipper This, Flagship That, Star of the Whatsit, so on. Lots of airlines name theirs after places. Aer Lingus names theirs after Irish saints. SAS names their Vikings. FedEx Express gives theirs human names, like Gabriel, Richard, JobEdokat, and Meredith.
The year is 2023 at time of writing. Clipper This, Flagship That, and Star of the Whatsit are now all relics of a distant past where a plane ticket cost more than some cars and airports sold life insurance at kiosks. That age is long past. Delta, United, American...all cowards, their airplanes long unnamed. Though the practice is alive and well elsewhere, for some reason it has largely gone dormant in the United States. There are few exceptions, but there are exceptions, and there is one in particular which stands out from the rest. Just one carrier on a mission and their 289 individually named flying machines.
I would like to present you with a curated selection of things which jetBlue has named their airplanes. There are many more - 289, to be specific. Take a look through them all if you care to. But this is a list of my favorites. Just a bit of appreciation for a true titan of aircraft-naming in an era where the art seems all but lost.
Roses Are Red, This Plane is Blue (N3104J)
Aruba, Jamaica, Blue I Wanna Take Ya (N2016J)
Blue's That Girl? (N997JL)
Don't Hate Me 'Cause I'm Bluetiful (N996JL)
Don't Mind If I Blue (N971JL)
Blue Kid On The Block (N913JB)
1. Fly JetBlue 2. Repeat Step 1 (N807JB)
Shantay, Blue Stay (N794JB)
#Follow @JetBlue (N334JB)
Enough about me...let's talk about blue (N712JB)
Big blue people seater (N705JB)
Bippity, Boppity, Blue (N565JB)
Blue-yah! (N187JB)
Badda Bing Badda Blue (N534JB)
FuhgeddaBlueDit (N3113J)
Boogie Woogie Bluegle Boy (N3062J)
My Other Ride is a JetBlue A320 (N329JB, an Embraer E190)
My Other Ride is a JetBlue E190 (N793JB, an Airbus A320)
And, my personal favorite:
How's My Flying? Call 1-800-JETBLUE (N715JB)
(Although if you can read that, you're probably too close. Incidentally, 'If You Can Read This, You're Blue Close' is an A320-200 with the registration N729JB.)

When to Consider One Day Car Insurance: Scenarios and Situations ?
When to Consider One Day Car Insurance: Scenarios and Situations
Car insurance is a legal requirement for all drivers, but there are situations where traditional annual policies may not be the most practical or cost-effective choice. One day car insurance offers a flexible solution for specific scenarios, providing coverage for a short duration. Here are instances when considering one day car insurance makes sense:
1. Borrowing a Friend’s Car: When you need to borrow a friend’s car for a day, one day car insurance ensures you are legally covered without affecting the owner’s existing insurance policy.
2. Test Driving a Vehicle: Before purchasing a new car, taking it for a test drive is common. One day insurance allows you to test the vehicle without risking any gaps in coverage.
3. Moving House: If you’re moving and need to drive a van or larger vehicle for a day to transport belongings, one day insurance provides the necessary coverage for the temporary use of the vehicle.
4. Renting a Car: While rental companies offer insurance, one day car insurance can be a convenient and often more affordable option for short-term rentals.
5. Emergency Situations: In unforeseen circumstances where you need to drive a different vehicle for a day due to breakdowns or repairs, one day insurance provides immediate coverage.
6. Additional Driver Coverage: If you’re planning a road trip and want to share the driving responsibilities with a friend for a day, adding them to your insurance for that specific period is straightforward with one day coverage.
7. Special Occasions: For events like weddings or celebrations where you may need to use a different car for a day, 24 hours temporary car insurance offers a practical solution.
8. Business Trips: For short business trips where you need to use a vehicle, one day business car insurance provides the necessary coverage without the commitment of an annual policy.
When considering one day car insurance, it’s essential to choose a reputable provider and ensure the policy meets your specific needs. This flexible coverage option is designed to accommodate temporary car insurance situations, providing peace of mind and legal compliance.

we need to talk about Inprnt.com
Following a really good post with more screenshots and evidence by @dynasoar5 i'm going to talk about my own experiences with @inprnt and why I am about to put my shop on indefinite hiatus from Monday the 14th of August.
First of all I'll say that since starting my print shop last year it has been a significant help to me financially - I was able to not worry about affording car insurance or motor tax (together commonly over a thousand euro) when I bought my first car, for example. I am immeasurably grateful to anyone who chose to buy one and I treasure all the pictures I've been sent of my prints hanging up on people's walls. Right now they are displayed in a real (if small) art exhibition in my home town.
(top right print is not from inprnt though)
They're great prints. Never had any complaints about them. But here's what's going on behind the scenes.
Earlier this year, around March or April, Inprnt sales started increasing in regularity. I'd made as much as $600 a week during previous sales when I made proper promo posts here, but with this increase in regularity, I felt that I couldn't make promo posts every single week. And then one day, I'm not sure when tbh, the sale just never ended. It just didn't stop having that "Ending soon! 15% off your order" banner at the top of the site. Right now it says "Final Hours: $5 Worldwide shipping and save up to 35% off your order!" and not even for a second do I believe in this final hours bullshit. It's been 'final hours' for weeks now. Months, even.
Why is this a problem? Well, how tf am I meant to make a promo post for a sale that is always "ending soon!!" and then never ends. One week it'll say "this weekend only!!" and then when the weekend is over, the sale banner just changes its wording and the sale doesn't end. I can't promo this, it makes me look like a liar and a skeevy salesman by association! It makes the site look like it's 1 week from crashing and burning, and the site owners are just scrabbling to suck as much money from artists as possible before they drown.
And they are sucking money from us. To peel back the curtain, Inprnt money can only be transferred to my paypal account 30 days after the sale is made, just in case the order is cancelled and refunded. This means I used to make one withdrawal every couple of months, when there was enough build-up of money to make it worthwhile. It also forbids withdrawing any sum under $50 btw. I would make a withdrawal request and then, after a 10 business day wait, it would reach my Paypal account.
Not anymore! The past few withdrawals have taken over a month to complete. They are straight up keeping my earnings from me for longer the agreed period. This was my last fulfilled withdrawal:
Note the date.
Almost two months.
And here is the latest withdrawal request that still has not been fulfilled.
It's coming up on 1 month and if the pattern continues, it could literally be November or December by the time I fully clear all sales.
So what's going to happen to my print shop? Because my art is currently being exhibited with a QR code linking to the shop, I can't close the shop this week. Instead I will close it on Monday the 14th of August, next week. That means that on the 14th of September, I can withdraw all of the remaining money without having any left over. My account balance will go to 0 and stay there. Although I'll de-list my prints I will leave my account there, because at the end of the day I don't want to leave Inprnt. It still offers the best artist margins and as I'm now unemployed after graduating, the additional support is such a load off my mind. So this is a chance to wait and see - if they improve their services, I'll happily re-open.
It's a big deal to me because selling prints is sort of my ideal life as an artist. I never had the attention span or self-discipline for commission work and I found that it left me creatively stagnant. I always want to try new things, new concepts and ideas, and being able to think "yeah, people will like this as a print" while I experiment is honestly very reassuring. And I know that in going on hiatus, it'll break a lot of "buy a print" links in my circulating posts. Oh well lmao. If you want to buy a print right now - go ahead, it might be your last opportunity. Another way to support me would be to check out my ko-fi for once-off donations or some nice sketchbooks/comics/book samples you can buy, or subscribing to my Patreon.
As of right now, Inprnt owes me $381 (the unfulfilled request submitted above for $186.60 and my current standing balance of $194.80 which takes 30 days from each transaction to clear).
#it's so god damn insulting u know. even redbubble threw its shitty payouts directly into my paypal asap#inprnt

A run of the mill childhood. An unsatisfactory office job. Single, no kids, just a toxic relationship with your phone and a tiktok addiction. It's no surprise there is no reel of Kodak moments as the brick cladding whizzes you by.
The only image in your head is a blur of shiny red and blue spandex, shoving into your side that split second before you were flung out of the skyscraper.
The wind rushes past you and into your eyes. Arms sprawling to your side, instinctively trying but failing to clutch to anything solid.
You try not to think about how much it's going to hurt when your skull hits the pavement. Instead you think about how statistically, every year in New York alone an average of 3,000 people either die or is so gravely injured that they cannot rejoin the workforce due to Supes incidents. Something you learned on your first day as an insurance underwriter.
And now here you are, falling through the sky, about to become a statistic. Head first like you are diving into a swimming pool from a trampoline. Except instead of water it is going to be the hard, punishing concrete of New York.
Fuck. You are going to die.
This can't be the end. You've barely lived.
The wind beats against your face, the grey concrete grows wider and nearer, eating into the rest. You're not ready.
You don't want to die.
Oh god, you don't want to die yet.
You want to live. You want to live. You want to live. You want to--
Everything slows to a halt like you've stepped on the break pedals in a car and the view from the windows no longer speeds past you. For a moment you think it must be a trick of your mind, trying to spare you from the pain.
Then everything goes in reverse, pulled back into the air as the grey concrete recedes again. Instead of falling it feels like you are flying. In your vision grey concrete is replaced by red and blue.
You don't know what's happening but a firm solid weight wraps around your torso that reminds you of an embrace.
"I got you," an unfamiliar voice tells you. You reach out and instead of empty air, the welcomed warmth of the man's broad shoulders and firm chest meets your touch.
"You're safe," he continues, reassuringly. His voice is calm and deep and even though you don't know this man, haven't even seen his face, you trust him.
You're saved.
The two of you descend. Not falling. It's controlled, like you're gently floating downwards and this time without the threat of impending death looming by your feet, you have a moment to take in your surroundings, of New York spread out below you.
Dots of people and cars are gathered in awed commotion. They are pointing up while you slowly descend in the air. When the two of you land on the ground, it's so soft you don't even feel it until he sets you down on your tippy toes.
He's tall. Now that you're standing on your feet the height difference is inescapable. His body frame towers you and practically blocks out the sun.
He's clad in dark-blue spandex from head to toe, not an inch of skin bared. There's an emblem of a red and angry looking death-metal spider etched on his chest, and an outline of the same red where his eyes are supposed to be.
You've just been saved by a superhero.
"Tha-thank you," you manage to stutter out.
He lets you go, and doesn't say anything. Doesn't acknowledge your gratitude. Even though you can't see his eyes, you can sense him staring at you.
Did you do something wrong?
It's your first bona fide superhero experience. You don't know what's customary here. Why is he not speaking to you? Why is he just standing there like he's waiting for something. Are you supposed to tip him or something?
Out of nowhere, his hands fling out to grip at your shoulders. You barely have the time to wince, because he's already leaning closer. His masked face is so close that his nose is almost touching yours. Close enough that he'd barely need to tilt to kiss you.
"Uhm... wait I-- "
The mask disintegrates, tanned skin eating into the red and blue material as it reveals his face, and you find his dark eyes staring down at you like he's seen a ghost.
Wait wait! Do Superheroes do this? Can they reveal their face? Aren't they supposed to keep their identities secret.
You blink up at him dumbfounded.
He's handsome. A crown of cotton-soft curls that cascades over his forehead. Cheeks so sharp, you wonder if he uses them as weapons to defeat whatever villain of the week he faces.
He's very handsome. But something is wrong here. There's no smile on his face. He's glaring down at you, his mouth twisted into a snarl as if the sight of you turns his stomach.
"Shit," he growls. "This was a mistake."
You're confused. The gentleness in his voice when he saved you mid-air has been replaced by a sneer. "I should have let you fall."
Without another word, he turns away from you. The mask materializes out of thin air to cover his face. He swoops into the air and then he's gone.

I'm moving out of the city and I'm going to have to learn to drive. Any advice for someone (reluctantly) looking into cars for the first time?
Sorry for the late response, but I really wanted to answer this because I think I have some relevant advice.
I started driving the very day I was allowed to get my learner's permit. I took it very seriously. My dad was a mechanic, my brother literally built a car when he was 16. They were car guys and I was the goofy comedian they didn't really understand. So I wanted to be a really good driver to impress them.
I practiced every chance I got. I took driver's ed in school and got a 100% in the class. And I got a perfect score on my written driver's test and only got dinged for 1 thing on the main exam (it was bullshit, but apparently there is no way to protest a near perfect score).
But then I got sick and it didn't make sense to pay for car insurance and maintain a vehicle. So I didn't drive for roughly 15 years.
Then both my parents got sick and they became dangerous drivers and so I had to figure out how to drive again. And at first I was nervous, but after about a week of driving, I was nearly as good of a driver as when I was younger.
The reason?
Muscle memory.
Muscle memory will save your life over just about anything. The less you have to concentrate on the physical actions and habits required to drive, the more you can concentrate on situational awareness. If you don't have to think about turning the wheel, or braking, or even activating the turn signals, you can use all of that brain power to pay attention to all of the dumb fucks they let drive cars.
So my biggest piece of advice would be to break down all of the physical actions required to operate a vehicle. Even the tiny stuff like switching the station on the radio or turning down the fan on the A/C. Then find a way to practice these things over and over and over until you have that muscle memory embedded into your brain. My muscle memory was so deeply ingrained that it lasted through 15 years of not driving and a batch of mind-wiping electroshock treatments.
Find a safe place to practice and just repeat things until they feel like second nature. Especially checking your blind spots. If you can get checking blind spots to the point where you do it without even thinking about it, you will increase your safety substantially.
Other tips...
Small cheap cars are best first cars. Big cars can make you feel disconnected from the road. Almost like you are piloting the vehicle in a video game. I started on my grandma's 1987 Chevy Cavalier. It was tiny. It had no power. It was free. But I could feel everything I was doing. I could feel the turns. I could feel the road. I could feel braking and acceleration. And it really helped me understand the relationship between driver and vehicle. It was like a big go-kart but I think having that as my first car really helped me develop my driving skills.
And my last tip is to learn gradient braking and acceleration. It's mostly for the comfort of your passengers. It gives them a smoother experience but it also makes them feel safer driving with you. Basically you want to figure out how to apply pressure to the pedals in such a way that almost no G-force is felt. So you start with very light pressure and gradually transition into the max pressure you need. And you need to do it quick enough to stop and accelerate at the proper rate. If you don't transition fast enough you might not stop in time or be able to merge onto the highway. And if you transition too fast people will be lurching back and forth in their seat. But, again, practice makes perfect.
My brother is horrible at this, though mostly on purpose. He likes driving like everything is a race. And with his muscle cars, that can be fun at times. But when you are just going to the store it can make one a little nauseous. I find myself just grabbing the "oh shit" handles and never letting go.
But if you can smooth out your acceleration and braking to the point it is barely felt, all of your passengers will thank you for it.
Hopefully that helps. And maybe other folks can reply with additional advice. And if you have any more specific concerns feel free to ask. I wasn't sure if you were more worried about driving or picking out a car, so hopefully we can collectively cover both.
I wish you luck and hope you learn to love driving. It is pretty cool once you get the hang of it.

Y’all, I need help.
(Please don’t mind the deadname.)
So here’s the deal, because this is only half the picture.
1) I am reasonably sure my job committed wage theft but I can’t prove it.
2) at a bare minimum, I got screwed the week we moved to the eight-hour schedule, because of schedule shenanigans.
3) Ergo, I was already short when my current paycheck came in.
……and then I took a work injury.
I was out for three days. And had a $179 bill for the orthopedist, plus $30 for pain meds (thank G-d for generics).
THIS IS MY IMPORTANT PAYCHECK. I mean, they’re all important, but on this one I need to pay rent ($900), chiropractor ($70), oh, and my car insurance is pay-as-you-go WHICH IS HOW I ENDED UP $80 IN THE HOLE, so I need to put $100 on that.
I can expect my paycheck to be right around $1000. You can see where that is not going to cover everything and also leaves me no money for gas and groceries, especially with that $80 already not covered.
I need to raise about $400.
Any help you can give me would be amazing. My ko-fi is here, and if that’s not an option for you, a reblog would be great.
