PSA to my fellow EU Critters

blindvogel:

I know a lot of us are excited about the second Chronicles of Exandria book coming out, but do yourself the favour and continue to order via the US CR website, not their UK counterpart if you live outside of the UK.

The UK price is in GBP and heavily marked up. (They charge 59,99 GBP which translates into 68,55€, while the $59.99 are only 53,50€. And even with shipping you’re way cheaper off than ordering from the UK.)

I know this is probably obvious for a lot of people, but still, something to keep in mind.

Even UK critters without shipping costs would be better off ordering from the US store. Something is wrong here.

Attention, Euro Critters!

While I’m as excited about the new UK based Critical Role store as the next gal, just, well, make informed choices, fam.

(Shipping costs calculated for cheapest options to ship to Germany. Maybe US shipping to your country is so immense that ordering from the UK store is worth it, maybe not. Educate yourself!)

Just did the math. As is, the artbook in the UK store on its own is more expensive (~ $ 160) than ordering from the US with shipping costs ($ 154.54). Something probably went wrong here. If not, someone is trying to rip us all off. Or the CR Team. Probably both, honestly.

And this is why we used to make cars out of STEEL instead of FIBERGLASS! Sure, fiberglass is a lot lighter in weight and hence a hell of a lot better for gas mileage. But you hit anything at more than 20 mph and the entire body explodes off the fucking thing, and now you’re spending more to repair the car than it’s worth because you need a entire front end, read end, or side panel. They can’t just take the damaged section off, beat it out with a hammer, sand it, and repaint it.

Everything is made with the idea of it being easier to replace than to maintain, aka planned obsolescence. Thanks, capitalism

omg y’all know i love old cars but newer ones are SAFER because they are meant to absorb the impact so it doesn’t transmit all that force to your bodies this has been a psa thank you

Crumple zones in the front and rear of modern cars absorb the force of the crash so that the car is a write-off but your spleen is intact and you don’t haemorrhage to death before help arrives. It’s better to buy a new car or ride the bus than to have your liver smooshed into pate while its still inside you

Everyone needs to watch the video. 

My dad had a beard because his face was covered in scars from when he (thankfully) survived a car crash in one of those old steel-bodied vehicles. A lower car repair bill doesn’t mean anything if the owner is dead.

Cars are replaceable, people are not.
