Thu 20:16:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The idea of selling a Windows laptop for $599 is ridiculous. They've gone as low as like $229 I think, but those are the ones that barely even work.

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 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
