Sun 03:24:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My neighbor is.
Sun 03:24:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I saw him parking his shitbox Nissan the other day.
Sun 03:24:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ we're all devil apes
Sun 03:24:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I walked off singing "Devil ape man, devil ape man, doing whatever a devil ape can!"
Sun 03:25:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sun 03:25:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ a few of us are freaks with working brains and the desire to be free
Sun 03:25:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, we call those people Libertarians.
Sun 03:31:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ a lot of nazis also like to call themselves that, though
Sun 03:54:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah. They mean leave them alone.

Sun 04:42:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ For what it's worth, we both voted for Juliana Stratton.
Sun 04:42:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Looks like a pretty close race. Polling is inconclusive.
Sun 04:42:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Raja Krishnamoorthi voted for a resolution thanking ICE.

Sun 04:49:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I voted to pass the Worker's Rights Amendment last election. Mainly because I hate the Taft-Hartley Act, and specifically the carve-out that lets states pass "right to work laws", which are designed to starve unions to death by letting people opt out of paying them, but demand representation anyway.
Sun 04:50:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So that amendment basically nullifies that part of Taft-Hartley within Illinois because it's technically the State constitution preventing the State from exercising that option.

Sun 21:52:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ THey said use it every 3,000 miles if you want, but they said it's just a quicker way to clean up a dirty engine than their Restore and Protect motor oil, which does it over 4 oil changes and 20,000 miles.
Sun 21:52:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They said that if you use it once then it'll do almost that level of cleaning in 10 minutes at idle, then you just drain out the dirty oil and do a normal oil change.
Sun 21:53:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, The detergent/dispersant package in normal motor oil will clean out sludge slowly if they use a lot of it.
Sun 21:53:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But at the levels in the detergent-based flush products, you don't want to just drive around like that.
Sun 21:54:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When I switched to a very high detergent synthetic years ago in this car, it would look dirty pretty fast, but now it still looks pretty clean even with over 1,000 miles on it.
Sun 21:54:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Same brands, but over time they started staying cleaner longer.
Sun 21:55:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That tells you it works some of the sludge out.
Sun 21:56:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, When they had one of my valve covers off to fix an oil leak, I looked down at the metal where there might be "gunk" and it wasn't that bad. With severe sludge it could look like "chocolate malt", but it was just sort of dark yellow, which isn't horrific.
Sun 21:57:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My guess is the Valvoline product will lift off a lot of the remaining gunk in one treatment.
Sun 21:58:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The instructions say look for major oil leaks before you begin and don't use it if there are any, or if you hear the engine making strange noises.
Sun 21:59:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This car isn't old enough to have ever been exposed to any of the really nasty oils.
Sun 21:59:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The older conventional and semi-synthetic oils were bad about leaving a wax behind, it was almost like candle wax.
Sun 21:59:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Modern synthetics don't do that.
Sun 22:00:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The main danger of starving the oil pickup with a flush product is if you use it in an older engine that has some paraffin wax that settled here and there.

Sun 22:07:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I didn't really have a choice but to change suppliers.
Sun 22:08:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Medicare Part D dropped my low income subsidy this year.
Sun 22:08:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So through GoodRX Gold I could pay $187 for six months of this med at Jewel or $68 at CVS. CVS uses Amneal and Jewel uses Northstar.
Sun 22:09:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Northstar product is better, but it also costs about 3x more.
Sun 22:09:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's like five companies that make generic Cialis too, and they're not the same.
Sun 22:09:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're broadly effective, but not equally effective.
Sun 22:10:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That being said, if you're going to pay $60 for a 90 day fill at one pharmacy and $24 at the other, maybe 90% effectiveness is good enough even if the difference is notable.

Sun 22:34:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, And the guy at the bank laughed at me 5 years ago when gas was $1.68 a gallon for wanting a credit card that pays 5% on gas.
Sun 22:34:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Who's laughing now?
Sun 22:35:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ They used to laugh when I said I wanted to be a comedian. Well they're not laughing now!
Sun 22:41:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I'm planning to use the throttle body cleaner again from Gumout.
Sun 22:41:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It hooks into the air intake. You take the rubber boot off the end right before the TBI butterfly plate, hook the straw onto the metal part, then reconnect the boot.
Sun 22:42:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then you start the car and have someone in there revving it while you hold down the spray a couple seconds at a time.
Sun 22:42:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I've also used the throttle body cleaner. I do not use the straw that comes with those. I've seen too many people have the straw fly off and end up inside the upper intake manifold.
Sun 22:42:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :)
Sun 22:43:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can't turn the engine on until someone takes off the intake manifold and gets the straw out.

Sun 23:38:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I'm going to go next door to the laundromat. I wash my clothes because the landlord's washers are cheaper, but then I go to the laundromat to dry because you can start up to 4 dryers free each day with the app.
Sun 23:38:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And my landlord sets his so it's $2.50 to dry but then they shut off and they need another $2.50 to finish drying.

Mon 01:46:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only good idea anyone has had on Social Media policy in Illinois this year is to enact a $200 million a year tax on them that can't be passed along to users.
Mon 01:46:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They don't pay much in federal tax and pretty much everything they do is harmful.
Mon 01:46:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The exemption (taxation begins at 100,000 active users in Illinois, not total) would still allow people to host Mastodon instances or IRC servers without paying the tax.

Mon 02:31:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Trump will go down as the best president for the environment ever. In only a few days, he managed to shut down nearly a quarter of all oil production in the entire world and effectively enact a gas guzzling tax (people with huge vehicles have to pay twice as much per mile now), and with no hopes of getting the oil flowing again for years.
Mon 02:31:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now he's even managed to humiliate himself and put on a comedy show threatening NATO and China that if they don't help him get the Strait open (and there's no incentive for them to do that), he'll continue to piss and moan like an impotent jerk.

Tue 01:13:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Apparently, Google will neuter F-Droid next year.
Tue 01:14:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It will require all developers to get a Google account and sign their apps even if they're outside of the Google Play store.
Tue 01:14:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I got an alert from Newpipe saying that it will just stop working after that.
Tue 01:14:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because they won't sign the agreement.
Tue 01:15:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ afaik it will still work fine on multiple AOSP derivatives
Tue 01:15:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if goolag doesn't want to ship a smartphone OS anymore, it's on them
Tue 01:21:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I was considering earlier how much I preferred the 90s for so many reasons.
Tue 01:21:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One was going to the actual video store to see what was new.
Tue 01:22:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And asking the person at the counter to recommend something.
Tue 01:22:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the 90s may well have been when humanity peaked
Tue 01:22:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And just playing it in a VCR instead of dealing with all this weird DRM shit called streaming.
Tue 01:22:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could only watch so many movies and each one cost like $2 to rent for the night.
Tue 01:23:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ vs. like hundreds to stream, every month.
Tue 01:23:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You got a couple movies on Friday, returned them Saturday, you spend like $4. Run them off to a blank tape really quick if you liked one.
Tue 01:24:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sometimes you could do three day rentals or buy a used rental copy if they moves from the new releases wall.
Tue 01:25:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most physical formats let you watch something effectively unlimited times.
Tue 01:25:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Lots of tapes made in the 80s and 90s still work. Probably a higher percentage than DVDs.
Tue 01:25:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The oldest DVDs are now 30 years old and basically about one in four that I'm encountering that are nearly 30 years old don't play or get halfway through and freeze the player.

Tue 01:35:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I hope it's an expensive disaster for them.
Tue 01:35:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Of course they'll respond to the debt binge with a wave of bankruptcy and layoffs.
Tue 01:35:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's already happening but they're saying it's because "AI" is good at replacing workers.
Tue 01:35:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have to say something while the management sells stock.
Tue 01:36:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ An ideal time for this bubble to pop is the Iran war.
Tue 01:36:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They can blame high energy prices.
