Good morning, world!
It's raining, but they're still drilling in front of my windows.
We have water (we've had since 22:30).
I need some coffee.
TGIF.Have a great Friday!

@stefano Water from the tap, water on the lawn, water from the sky. Your complaints from yesterday have been more than addressed I'd say ;)

@stefano enjoy the water (both the one in your bathroom and also the one falling from the sky)

@82mhz totally. The important part is that "water" won't come up again from the office toilet. I'd gladly avoid that 😆

@stefano Water that's coming back up - not the kind of water you want to see 😂
I hope it won't happen again, it sounded awful! -

@stefano That's the usual thing with insuranes. Big surprise, as soon as they actually have to pay something all the big promises they made in their brochures about being there for you when you need them go out the window. 🙄

@82mhz The time I broke my back (https://my-notes.dragas.net/2026/02/02/the-weight-of-a-millimeter/), they eventually came up with the claim that the X-rays did not state that the fracture was a consequence of the accident, therefore, in their view, there was no way to prove causality. They offered a ridiculous compensation, in addition to repairing the vehicle, which I obviously refused. In the end I spoke with a lawyer, who explained that a mistake had been made at the hospital. They should have written something like "following a recent trauma", which they had not done. Because of that, the chances of obtaining an appropriate amount without a long legal battle would have been slim.
Eventually we agreed on a slightly less slim amount, with which I bought a computer and took a short trip abroad.I do not know whether the laws have changed today, but I was very, very disappointed.

@stefano
I read your post, and stuff like this is incredibly infuriating. You did everything right, someone made a tiny mistake and the insurance company is exploiting it to the fullest extent possible. And you are essentially powerless, unless like you said you get an attourney and battle your insurance in court for a couple of years. And who has the time and energy for that...I had my bike stolen once, which was insured, and they also weasled them out of their obligation to pay because of a technicality. So I bought a new bike and canceled the insurance. No point in having one if they're not paying...
