| DaemonFC | I had fun today. I got a pressure washer and went after the car with it and some foaming car soap. | Apr 13 07:05 |
| DaemonFC | I've been getting by with those waterless car wash sprays they use in California during droughts because the other option is some auto wash that skimps on your soap and leaves all the garbage on your car. | Apr 13 07:05 |
| DaemonFC | Some guy they pay $15 an hour pretends to spray your car with the hose a little and runs out to offer "help" you don't need with the credit card machine. It's amazing someone pays for this and not soap. | Apr 13 07:05 |
| DaemonFC | It's like, you're a car wash, you had one job. | Apr 13 07:06 |
| schestowitz | :D | Apr 13 08:05 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: What is there to get about a credit card machine at a shitty car wash? | Apr 13 08:06 |
| DaemonFC | And why does a $16 wash have the "rip me off even more" buttons for add-ons? | Apr 13 08:06 |
| schestowitz | some people pay | Apr 13 08:06 |
| schestowitz | that's the issue | Apr 13 08:06 |
| schestowitz | same with scams over email | Apr 13 08:07 |
| DaemonFC | $3 for "salt shield" whatever that is. $2 for hot wax. | Apr 13 08:07 |
| schestowitz | it keeps the spammers financially viablle | Apr 13 08:07 |
| DaemonFC | I remember when $4-5 was the whole wash, including the wax. | Apr 13 08:07 |
| DaemonFC | And people hand drying your car and detailing the interior. | Apr 13 08:07 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz: I used to buy the Deluxe Wash. It used to be $8 and come with a 5 day rewash guarantee code. | Apr 13 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | The place was such a piece of shit that I always ended up driving back around and using the rewash immediately. | Apr 13 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | Sometimes even the guy inside would laugh. | Apr 13 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | But then they made it $12 and no rewash. | Apr 13 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | Usually after two washes in a row, the car was reasonably clean by that point. It shouldn't take two but it did. | Apr 13 08:09 |
| DaemonFC | And now they don't even give you two and it's gone up by $4. | Apr 13 08:09 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-yewtu.be | Rose Royce - Car Wash (1976) - Invidious | Apr 13 08:09 | |
| DaemonFC | They probably got tired of people like me anticipating that the place was shit and took two washes. | Apr 13 08:09 |
| DaemonFC | So they "fixed the glitch". | Apr 13 08:09 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: I'm not even going to do business with an outfit like that. | Apr 13 08:10 |
| DaemonFC | In the winter time I usually just drive over to the next town to use a halfway decent car wash now and then. | Apr 13 08:10 |
| DaemonFC | And then a couple more times after it starts getting warmer to make sure all the salt is out. | Apr 13 08:10 |
| DaemonFC | When you do it by hand you can keep going until the car is actually clean. | Apr 13 08:11 |
| DaemonFC | It just pisses me off because there's no way to keep the car clean except wash it every week, and if you use one of those places, they want at least $50 a month for that now. | Apr 13 08:12 |
| schestowitz | you nhave a choice: | Apr 13 08:13 |
| schestowitz | no car | Apr 13 08:13 |
| DaemonFC | It's a steady drip drip drip of blood. If I can do it myself for 7 cents then why do they need $16? | Apr 13 08:14 |
| DaemonFC | I mean holy fuck. | Apr 13 08:14 |
| schestowitz | holly is a virgin | Apr 13 08:16 |
| DaemonFC | These car washes are a license to print money. Just build the thing and spray people's cars with water and charge them $16 goddamned dollars. | Apr 13 08:16 |
| schestowitz | but then came rimmer | Apr 13 08:16 |
| DaemonFC | Or $21 with wax and "salt shield" which you probably didn't even use. | Apr 13 08:16 |
| *parsifal (~parsifal@uuar9r28yasyu.irc) has joined #techbytes | Apr 13 08:23 | |
| DaemonFC | The waterless car wash spray has a wax in it. It suggests occasionally using it even after a regular wash if you want to wax the car. There's cheaper ways to wax the car, but at least I know that when I wax the car it gets waxed. | Apr 13 08:27 |
| DaemonFC | Australia is basically stupid as fuck. To legitimize their elections, they force everyone to vote or pay a fine, and if you repeatedly don't pay the fine you go to jail. | Apr 13 08:32 |
| DaemonFC | So like, you end up with a bunch of people who just don't want to pay fines show up and vote for....someone they really didn't consider that much just so they don't go to jail? | Apr 13 08:33 |
| DaemonFC | I mean I know what would happen if they tried that here. | Apr 13 08:33 |
| DaemonFC | Black people who didn't want to vote just wouldn't do it, wouldn't pay the fine, and absolutely nothing would happen to them. | Apr 13 08:34 |
| DaemonFC | Meanwhile, if I tried that, they'd bring back the death penalty just for me because white. | Apr 13 08:34 |
| DaemonFC | That's basically already how car insurance, driver's licenses, and not fleeing the scene of a car accident work out for them. | Apr 13 08:35 |
| DaemonFC | So we already know what WOULD happen. | Apr 13 08:35 |
| DaemonFC | The current batch of "elected" critters have decided that it's impossible to reform black people to obey the rules so their goal to "overimprisonment" is to just not do shit about it if they don't follow the rules. | Apr 13 08:37 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, it makes sense from a certain angle. | Apr 13 08:38 |
| DaemonFC | If you're a crooked politician who lives in a gated community behind armed guards where the bus from Chicago doesn't go, you have nothing to lose by cutting your own taxes and letting the fur fly. | Apr 13 08:38 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: There should be a law that everyone who is in office at the State level should have to live in the South or West side of Chicago. | Apr 13 08:40 |
| DaemonFC | Watch how fast things change. | Apr 13 08:40 |
