Thu 20:40:14 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they don't even make them in the usa, do they
Thu 20:44:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, The USA doesn't make anything really.
Thu 20:44:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Unless it can be automated by at least 90%.
Thu 20:44:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So there are certain things we produce a lot of if it can be highly automated.
Thu 20:44:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the jobs are basically gone either way.
Thu 20:45:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was looking at the Hyundai/KIA factory in Georgia where they made that 2018 KIA I had repossessed.
Thu 20:45:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's mostly automated, and they're investing in humanoid robots to do many of the other jobs.
Thu 20:45:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So more auto workers will lose their jobs, but the price of the car won't come down.
Thu 20:45:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you're lucky it just won't go up more than it has for a while.
Thu 20:46:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But then you run into problems where over the span of the whole economy, everyone loses their jobs and nobody can buy the stuff anymore.
Thu 20:46:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Henry Ford said that it was good for business to have well paid workers who could buy the product.
Thu 20:47:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I always said that Walmart's model in the 2000s was unsustainable because you had 1.4 million people working at Walmart, which is larger than the US military by headcount, but most of them had to shop for things at Dollar Tree and Aldi and go on welfare.
Thu 20:50:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When one company does layoffs and efficiency drives, it might work out for them, and increase profits.
Thu 20:51:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When they all do it, it means eventually there's no customers, and the economy goes ahead and fails.
Thu 20:51:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The political environment destabilizes because nobody can find work, and some demand welfare expansion.
Thu 20:51:26 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/workplace_ai_forrester/
Thu 20:51:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Less people paying tax makes welfare expansion impossible, and drives inflation.
Thu 20:51:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Eventually, the government will cause a war (like Iran) and use the Army to capture the unemployed workers.
Thu 20:56:14 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://walledculture.org/why-genai-means-the-end-of-copyright-for-software-and-the-re-invention-of-open-source/
Thu 21:00:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There was a joke on Facebook about test driving a car just because gas prices are so high. I remember mom test drove a pickup truck for the evening in the 90s and used it to help my Aunt move to another apartment. Then we were going to have Thanksgiving with her cousin and his wife up in Fort Wayne in 1998, and she went to a car dealership and asked to test drive a new Buick Century for the evening. I enjoyed that. A brand new Buick
Thu 21:00:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ with leather seats and an air ride suspension. That was the best car ride ever. You're not supposed to do that, but my mom has always done things like this.
Thu 21:01:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz-TR2, The older Buicks were awesome. Many of the 1998 models are still working.
Thu 21:01:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They don't look the best anymore, but they work, and most of the parts are original.
Thu 21:02:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm convinced that the Type 2 ignition coils have even gotten worse over the years.
Thu 21:02:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've seen 1991 models with the original, numbered, factory coils.
Thu 21:02:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But I bought some GM Original Parts coils off Amazon and one of them failed 3 months later.
Thu 21:05:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Classic lesson in "Leave it alone!"
Thu 21:05:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I figured that I would do some preventive maintenance because coils can fail every so often and they were all the ones that came with the car. Turned out the joke was on me.

Thu 21:33:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz-TR2, Imperial margarine is on sale for $2.99 a pound this week for Easter I guess.
Thu 21:33:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I remember it was 49 cents a pound around 1993 or so
Thu 21:35:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They can lie to us and say inflation is whatever they want to say it is. I was there in the 90s and remember what we paid for things, and depending on what it was, the cost is now 6-8 times higher in many cases. Sometimes it's only triple, like a comparable new car (only they aren't made as well now).

Fri 02:58:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <@MinceR> it follows the "but why would anyone want to burn all the fuel? just pass it through the tailpipe!" school of design
Fri 02:58:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The US wasn't much better until the EPA was created and cars started coming standard with a catalytic converter in 1975.
Fri 02:59:14 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, at least usian cars didn't mix the motor oil into the fuel
Fri 02:59:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some of them might have.
Fri 02:59:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But most certainly did not.
Fri 02:59:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it was a pretty obviously nasty thing to do even back then, but some people just didn't care
Fri 03:00:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, two stroke engines existed mostly in motorboats and lawnmowers in the US.
Fri 03:00:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You do mix oil and gas in those.
Fri 03:00:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it was never normal in cars.
Fri 03:00:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Tetraethyl Lead was though.
Fri 03:00:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 03:00:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's pretty nasty stuff.
Fri 03:01:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, the trabant 601 had a two-stroke engine
Fri 03:01:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's still causing problems in the US and TEL was pretty much out of use by 1985.
Fri 03:01:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It got into the soil, and every summer some still ends up in the air.
Fri 03:02:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Gasoline in the US is pretty clean compared to what it used to have in it.
Fri 03:02:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No TEL, no MTBE. Ultra Low Sulfur. Most of it is Top Tier, which has extra detergents to keep the engine running better.
Fri 03:03:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Ethanol is the major octane booster now. After Congress passed a law in 2007 setting up an ethanol blending standard.
Fri 03:03:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So that pretty much did away with MTBE.
Fri 03:03:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ethanol is hygroscopic, though
Fri 03:05:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yes, small engines don't like the stuff.
Fri 03:05:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Although larger engines can tolerate it at a mixture of 10% ethanol, 90% gasoline.
Fri 03:05:44 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i suspect no engines like taking up the water that it can accumulate in the tank
Fri 03:05:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've never had a big issue with "water in the tank".
Fri 03:05:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it won't burn and it is practically incompressible
Fri 03:06:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump has been pushing for year round E15 sales.
Fri 03:06:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Ignoring that the reason it's not allowed in the summer is the Reid Vapor Pressure issue.
Fri 03:06:56 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the diddler-in-chief is driven partly by childish whims and partly by the suggestions of his handlers
Fri 03:07:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It vaporizes and leaks out of the gas cap and ends up as photochemical smog.
Fri 03:08:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ apparently we get ETBE instead of ethanol as an additive in premium gas

Fri 20:04:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You mostly see black people driving Hyundais here.
Fri 20:04:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's basically the cheapest new car they sell. Hyundai and Kia.
Fri 20:04:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Fri 20:04:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Which makes it barely obtainable with the average credit rating and income of that group.
Fri 20:05:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i had a korean car in the 90s
Fri 20:05:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They make them out of plastic and other such junk, the engines.

Fri 20:05:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You got through the car wash once and you have hairline scratches and paint flaking off.

Fri 20:06:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Better gasket materials and don't use that horrible orange coolant.
Fri 20:06:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 27 210516 < IsambardPrince> They make them out of plastic and other such junk, the engines.
Fri 20:06:44 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ like BMW?
Fri 20:06:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If they had used green coolant and better gaskets, then if you just changed the oil every 5,000 miles and serviced the transmission occasionally, that car would probably run for 30 years with minimal repairs.
Fri 20:07:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The problems happen when it ages and the coolant turns to brown gunk and starts clogging everything.
Fri 20:07:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or the gaskets fail and you start leaking coolant or oil, or have unmetered air coming in.
Fri 20:09:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daewoo_Motors

Fri 20:10:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They turned a pretty good engine into a nightmare, then discontinued the engine completely.
Fri 20:11:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mechanics say the 3.6 and 3.9 that replaced the 3800 are both "trash".
Fri 20:11:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My mom has some oil leaks in the 3.9 she has an the shop quoted her like $3600 to fix them so she's just been topping off.
Fri 20:11:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't blame her. It's an old car.
Fri 20:12:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not leaking anywhere where it's getting on belts or hoses or pulleys or anything. It's just seepage underneath the engine.
Fri 20:12:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If it starts contaminating the belt or pulleys or dripping onto the manifolds, you need to do something.
Fri 20:13:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But some seepage out of the pan gasket is not necessarily a disaster. I told her put high mileage Valvoline oil in it, maybe it'll swell the seals up and slow the leaks.
Fri 20:14:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You'll probably start getting a burning smell if it's dripping onto a hot manifold.

Fri 20:24:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], They can make cars that keep going even if you don't really do much to them.
Fri 20:24:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They don't WANT to.
Fri 20:25:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My Aunt bought a 1985 Honda Prelude and never did much but change the oil sometimes.

Fri 22:50:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], Greed, really.
Fri 22:50:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Why sell you a $25,000 car that runs for 30 years with minimal upkeep?
Fri 22:50:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When they can sell you a $60,000 car that works for 5 years maybe.
Fri 22:51:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's the same reason why there's KIAs and Hyundais and other cars around that are only 4-5 years old, and they have more rust on them than my 2008 Buick.
Fri 22:51:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Cheaper materials, shoddy manufacturing and QA standards.
Fri 22:52:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But they don't pass along those savings to you, and they are literally designing them to fail after a certain number of heat cycles.
Fri 22:52:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Heat cycles eventually cause plastic to crack.
Fri 22:52:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then there goes all your oil or coolant or something, righ?
Fri 22:52:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No more car.
Fri 22:52:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not like those old metal engines with gaskets where at least when it starts to leak it doesn't all come out at once.
Fri 22:53:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ These cars eventually have something crack and all of that fluid comes out.
Fri 22:53:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The old metal engines, when they leak, you start noticing drops of oil or coolant or something, you know "I better drive this down to the shop soon. Top it off until then."
Fri 22:54:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], ICE was across the street from me for a few days, btw.

Fri 22:55:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The local police sent two marked cop cars out and lit them up.

Fri 23:10:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Germans seem to think you can fix everything by suffocating freedom of expression in the Constitution which must be why they have an active Nazi Party that just doesn't officially call itself that, taking more seats in every election.
Fri 23:10:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fri 23:10:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ All of the Constitutional "safeguards" to prevent the rise of another Nazi Party in Germany are failing.
Fri 23:11:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Including the office that's supposed to spy on them, declare them illegal, and shut them down.

Fri 23:12:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i don't think it means what you think it means
Fri 23:13:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My political beliefs tend to be a sometimes-confusing mixture of social libertarianism, far-left progressive economic and social politics, and some social conservatism.
Fri 23:14:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My economic beliefs are not really "Communist" but more like a well regulated market economy with worker ownership.
Fri 23:15:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's really no reason why workers can't own the company. There's examples of highly successful worker-owned companies in the US, even in the damndest places.
Fri 23:15:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like a very large supermarket chain in the south that's a co-op.
Fri 23:15:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Two actually.
Fri 23:15:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ WinCo and Publix
Fri 23:15:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The people that work there own the entire company.
Fri 23:16:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ nice
Fri 23:16:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they're so competitive with prices that Walmart gave up trying to compete with them for the most part.
Fri 23:16:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Part of the reason groceries are so cheap in the south is because two of the major chains are worker-owned.
Fri 23:17:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My dad calls the New York Mayor Zorhan "Mam damn him".
Fri 23:17:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And said worker owned supermarkets will never work.
Fri 23:17:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said "Then why are there two huge ones in the south?"
Fri 23:17:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Fri 23:18:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I agree with Mamdani that the city should create worker-owned supermarkets to drive prices down. The grocery CEOs said "If he does that, we'll leave!"
Fri 23:18:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was like "Is that supposed to be some sort of threat?"
Fri 23:19:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The fact that grocery stores and other critical "public infrastructure" companies have CEOs and shareholders is a large part of the problem.
Fri 23:20:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know, those health insurance companies, the reason the policy costs a ton and you still have to fight them through layers of appeals and "you don't need that", is because those CEOs make billions every year, that isn't paying for any healthcare.
Fri 23:20:14 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "Don't threaten me with a good time"
Fri 23:20:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'd like to see a law that bans cigarettes eventually.
Fri 23:20:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some countries raise the smoking age by one year, every year. I would like to see that.
Fri 23:21:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The idea is that there will eventually be nobody old enough to buy them anymore.
Fri 23:21:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 23:21:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Nazis had an anti-smoking campaign, but they never banned cigarettes. In fact, they funded a large part of the party, later the state, on cigarettes.
Fri 23:21:55 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'd prefer to let people make an informed decision about whether they want to poison themselves
Fri 23:22:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Their anti-smoking campign, such that it was, was promoted towards white people.
Fri 23:22:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And that's how the US anti-smoking campaign works too.
Fri 23:22:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ White people get the benefit of being educated on how bad it is for them and their finances.
Fri 23:22:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Black people, it's like "Oh, here you go, have all you want! And they're even MENTHOL!"

Fri 23:28:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Fri 23:28:55 │ 〖darwin〗 │ they're not supposed to make money of currently-living presidents
Fri 23:29:04 │ 〖darwin〗 │ that's only what an autocrat wanting cult of personality would do
Fri 23:29:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that's easy to fix
Fri 23:35:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They said no pictures of a living president on circulating currency.
Fri 23:35:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So Trump made them do a big gold coin with his face as a "collector's piece".
Fri 23:35:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then he put his signature on the bills because there's no law against that.
Fri 23:36:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Only Trump could have gotten away with causing the COVID shutdown disaster, while golfing, and then sending $1,000 checks to a nation that just lost their jobs, with his signature on them.
Fri 23:36:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then he came back and got elected again late.r
Fri 23:37:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The COVID shutdowns were worse than the virus itself.
Fri 23:37:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The virus still did as much damage as it was ever going to, perhaps a little bit slower.
Sat 00:07:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I'm playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City in Chrome.
Sat 00:07:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It got to the point where you pull up in a boat and it says "Kill the Haitians."
Sat 00:08:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said, "I'd prefer it said the Cubans, but whatever."
Sat 00:08:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The people who deserve to be deported are the Cubans.
Sat 00:08:55 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sat 00:08:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Worst immigrants we ever got. Cuba got rid of their worst and sent them to Florida in the 1980s to basically fuck our country up.
Sat 00:09:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Crime shot up like 500% in most of the areas they resettled and they immediately started voting for the Republican Party.
Sat 00:10:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Miami wasn't a terribly violent major city until the Cubans came in the Mariel Boatlift.
Sat 00:10:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then it had gangs and a huge cocaine trafficking problem.
Sat 00:10:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'd say about 50-60% of the Cubans that came here were uniquely horrible people.
Sat 00:10:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Worst immigrants we ever got, from anywhere.
Sat 00:18:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Some lady on Facebook complained that she pays a fee to TSA when she buys a plane ticket, so why aren't they funded.
Sat 00:19:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said because it's $5.60 per ticket and hasn't gone up since 9/11 and is 4% of their cost of screening a passenger. So it should go up, massively, then they reopen as a fee-funded agency and she doesn't have to wait for security.
Sat 00:23:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, The news reported that the Iranians did a missile strike on a US base and damaged a bunch of aircraft and injured 10 US soldiers.

Sat 05:33:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] During the 4Q Earnings call on January 28, 2026, the company indicated there would be layoffs in 2026 at levels similar to 2025. The words they used were:

Sat 05:33:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] FYI: “Workforce rebalancing charges” means restructuring costs tied to headcount actions: severance, role eliminations, org redesign etc."

Sat 06:27:20 │ 〖lxo〗 │ tools, and no different for most parents who have no clue about how to tutor their children online; ...
Sat 06:30:57 │ 〖lxo〗 │ ... that the issue is not with GNU/Linux but with software freedom; that these provisions will make life hell for emancipated minors because the law mandates age checking and prohibits the use of more identity information, but such minors won't have a tutor to authorize installation of now-mandatory apps, javascrippled websites, communications and whatnot; that despite claims to the contrary, the law mandates identification of everyone because children
