Technically, LCD/LED TVs don't suffer from burn-in. They are subject to "persistent image" which means that the LCDs may not swap back to their neutral state over time if the same image is shown in the same area. It sounds the same, but the difference is its fixable in all but the most extreme cases. This can normally be fixed by turning the TV off and turning it back on after some time, or running a video that has a lot of motion in the impacted area. It is also very unlikely to happen in normal consumer use, as it requires a constant image for quite some time in the same area.

OLEDs can get burn-in though, just like old CRTs and plasma TVs.

If a pipe burst (which has happened) we're covered to a very low maximum amount. Overland floods are not covered.

We get some BIG boats. This is the largest that can fit into the smallest lock in the system.

Let me have my pity party.

I have AAA, already have arranged for towing to a shop recommended by my Subaru specialty shop, then to the specialty shop for mechanical repairs. I'm sure it will look as good as new. Still sucks, and worst timing ever!
