A large chunk of this post, that i wrote earlier today got deleted. I don't know how, i will try to re-write it.
I think i said about the magnets that finally got here after being delayed one day (other items, like the fender for the "new" Hyundai got delayed by several days, "because of unprece_dented (popular?) demand").
Magnets are rated 30 pounds, however in reality they don't even hold 5. False advertisement? I got a stronger one i bought at Homo Depot years ago that i think is the one rated at 100 pounds on Amazon but even that one is not strong enough for what i needed and that is pull dents on my new car, cause i don't really like the current method, that reminds too much of
Covoodoo. These DIY
electro-magnets when applied 1.5 Volts hold 50 pounds. How about when applied 12 volts? 120? Could they possible pull a dent? Thing is, they can create 500 or even 5000 pounds at close contact, however dents are not of regular shape, could use some electromagnetic fluid (grease mixed with iron filings) to fill the distance at start. Still re-searching.
Then i saw the news, in my beloved Romania.
Dan Barna "shot (shout) an allusion to their political allies", USR, saying they are like the
300 spartans that stood the king of Xerxes and perished without a chance but still fought to the end. I thought it was an allusion to all of us. An invitation to give up.
But it's the opposite cause it's them who are the minority. The slightly different species that evolved separately for tens of thousands of years in Australia. They are specialized in manipulation, in ways european modern thinking (or even classical) cannot understand due to lack of tools (
concepts)(wondering who are all the philosophers and scientists of our days). They got to control everything in the last hundreds of years. It all started before the creation of states, as states being easier (more efficient) to control as whole entities. Then i said the majority, normal Hungarians, who have mostly European genes probably look at all these and being perplexed like everybody else.
Then i saw the pictures with Valentin Ceaușescu i wrote later about (lower, i write these lines on top or in place of what i lost, after) that triggered the need to re-do a post about
Nicolae Ceaușescu (amintiri din câmpul cu mătrăgună) which required yet another hour of my life, bring forth the old post with
Elena Ceaușescu. I said the actress,
Hedi Lammar who did her was a case of both a
beautiful and smart woman, with an attitude and mind of her own, born in
Austria, who disappeared from Hollywood by the time Elena Ceaușescu appeared in Romania as wife of the dictator. Then i rhetorically asked myself, why (re)do this old post since they were no results whatsoever for what i've done so far, and it all means wasting my time and everybody's. Then somehow everything i wrote to this point or my work for half day got deleted from the post, wasting way more time.
(I can't believe how primitive and time consuming are the tools i work with. Blogger is a very old platform, they have drive now that saves every version of a spreadsheet you work on, but here, nothing, and if you delete by mistake the version you're working on you delete everything. Same with matches, i crop on my computer dozens of versions with the most basic tool and i see the alignment only after i assemble the two images on a blog post, in dozens of iterations which requires hours of work).
End of deleted part (or what i can remember).

Do i have to tell this story too. Back in early 90s my father calls (i was working as a programmer back then, doing accounting and salaries) me saying he wants to expand his shop (furniture) into a factory with the help of Gerard, a guy from Australia and another one from France (forgot his name) and Fântănă, a guy from Bucharest (he was born in those places, a relative of his wife). A place near Fălticeni, Suceava county. Foresta SRL i guess was the proposed name. I think they even started, buying to my father a few used machines which he installed in a building he made from a sort of concrete he invented, made of wood chips and cement. So i went in there and one night i sat at a table with Fântână, the guy from France and his wife and while my father was pouring his own type of brandy made of grapes residue from wine and sugar, i got drunk and talked nonsense in French all night with the two guys, of which of course my father didn't understand a thing.
Can't remember the outcome of the evening, but a few months later i spent a whole week in Măgurele, near Bucharest, trying to figure the accounting of that firm when their computer was not busy with that guy's son playing Spice. The firm had one branch in Bucharest that was doing car alarms, by the design and using the equipment (a wave soldering machine) brought by the guy from Australia and also selling phones brought as junk from Telecom Australia. One good thing was the man took me one day in his Mercedes to the Seismology Institute where i saw the same (working) seismometers i see nowadays in the pictures with Mărmureanu. The business (at least my father's part) did not go anywhere, my father had a few employees using those machines, but he had no marketing skills and by the time i visited him in 2004 he was only doing beekeeping, also cashing a check from being retired and the shop was empty.
I looked in the news today and after all the "training" i got by doing matches, i had a flash-back and recognized this guy as being
Fântână.
6:01 Got my answer from Progressive. First she said she is not the person i was looking for, however she advised about California privacy laws while the totals of the estimates is published on IAA web site anyways. What i believe is since i am the current owner i am entitled to any record created since the existence of the vehicle.
6:27 Just opened an "automated" email with an "unsubscribe" button from Progressive that came earlier which contains "files related to your claim #21-9013463", however that claim is closed. After a warning that says that if you don't agree with it you should not use it (a bit of recurrence don't you think) "the files" basically try to say that everything is related to that claim and everything else related to everything on their web site and their associates, including emails and
estimates from shops is copyrighted material. Since they never sent it to me while the claim was opened or maybe they did and i didn't pay attention (which was about one month time period) i feel like this is a threat, at least as timing about what i just posted above and generally harassment, and worse than that, bullying. The email screenshots taken from
my computer i published are not related to my past claim but the car i just bought. I also wanted to publish the repair estimate for my old Hyundai Elantra (how did they know i will and came to threaten), as i did with the amounts they paid first and after they further damaged the car om the shop, and gave me no choice to retain it. I also believe they choose the name Nicholas Sprague (who in reality is that guy from Jeopardy, Buzzy). They can't possibly have adjusters that speak like that guy. I know who i am and my name is not Nicholas or Nicolae or Nicu or anything that starts with N. Note the estimate was done September 1st or ten days after the accident.
My name is not Jeorge either.
Estimate done by
Artistic Auto Body on
Hunziger Street in tigard. Note the price for both outer quarter panels (area above rear wheels which are not bumpers) that where very little damaged and could have been easily repaired, a total of over 5000 for parts and work.
Here is the picture with the car 4 days after the accident (August 24) or when Nicholas agreed and paid for the car to be towed at Artistic Auto Body. I don't have a picture (was quite upset those days) from the left side, but it was in a similar shape. Also the rear windshield was intact.
On Friday September 3rd or right after they issued the estimate, i went to Artistic Auto Body to pick the car. However, the car was in a bad shape, with engine knocking, broken rear windshield and sitting on a side, like with damaged suspension, foil and tape around the rear end. As i drove the car that night from the accident scene home 20 miles, no problems (except a truck tried to hit me again and i pulled right), i planned to drive it to a shop, but now it was impossible. In that night, Nicholas sent me another email offering 1,700 more for the car and 300 more for hit and run which he refused until that time. Unfortunately i forgot to upload that picture and now i can't find it. However, it is not much different from the picture of the car at
IAA site except for the suspension part. Note that they added a value to the car, 6,244, but not repair cost which according to Artistic in the link above is 14,543. They will probably sell the car for over 3,000 in auction. Which means that Progressive ends up paying 3,000 for a total loss of a car that is worth over 6,000, instead of fixing it which would have been about the same in an honest shop. What do you want, it's a business for profit, not a charity.
