The investors have spent somewhere around $6 Million for the Island, improvements, maintenance, buildings, repeated storm damage repairs, permits, legal fees, etc. It's a money pit. Not too many buyers will want it, and the costs involved with selling it and paying off their loans will not net the investors much profit.

In the early days of their redevelopment, county authorities forced the new owners to close the bar and raised repeated issues about the ability of county emergency services to respond to emergencies on the island. [00:24] DaemonFC > However, Beer Can Island had never been officially zoned by the county before its purchase, and Florida state laws grant property owners a relatively high degree of autonomy, especially when they're operating a private club. This left the owners of Beer Can Island enough flexibility to realize their vision of a private club, albeit not without a significant cash investment on their part.

[00:26] DaemonFC But he didn't actually bother to modernize it to what you'd want in a house costing $68,000. Like insulation. [00:26] DaemonFC Nobody put insulation in a house in the 1800s. [00:27] DaemonFC Most of it still has no insulation. The only reason the downstairs bathroom and kitchen do is because I said we had the walls open anyway, might as well put some in. [00:28] DaemonFC The upstairs had two bedrooms. They converted half the other one to a bathroom, so that has insulation on the outer walls too because we had to open the walls.

[00:52] DaemonFC The fucking car dealership wanting $130 for oil. [00:52] DaemonFC This is like, they're Buick, not BMW. $130 oil change? [00:52] DaemonFC Get the fuck out. [00:53] DaemonFC They can't void a new car warranty for taking it somewhere else. [00:54] DaemonFC Even if I went and bought a new Buick I could still get oil and filter of at least OE quality and have it changed at Car-X and save the documentation, and as long as it all met or exceeded GM specification and I did it as or more often than the owner's manual said to, they can't void the warranty just because you took it someplace else.

(1) You used the wrong oil viscosity or specification. (Only use the type specified in the owner's manual, but you can use any brand that meets those requirements), (2) There was something wrong with the filter to where it did not meet specifications or was defective (only use filters that meet or exceed OE, or better yet, just get AC Delco filters and then they can' [00:56] DaemonFC t claim you used the wrong kind), (3) The shop you took it too fucked up the oil change. (The shop you took it to would be liable for replacing your engine.) [00:56] DaemonFC They have to prove you did something wrong that caused the failure. [00:57] DaemonFC MinceR: This was easy for BMW. [00:57] DaemonFC BMW owners said "I'm not paying that much for an oil change." and they used Castrol for American cars and drove 20,000 miles per oil change, and took it there and complained they had sludge. [00:57] MinceR lol [00:58] MinceR they should have said "i'm not paying that much for a shitty car." and they would have avoided all that [00:58] MinceR they could have bought a car they can afford to maintain. [00:58] DaemonFC At the time, this was a true disaster because American engines didn't have things like Variable Valve Timing and most were not turbocharged. [00:59] DaemonFC So the oil could be produced to a lower standard. Also, because nobody in the US does 20,000 mile oil changes unless they're just a slob or something. ● Apr 03 [01:00] TR News Richard Stallman Was Right and What Happened in XZ Wasn't a "Linux" or Free Software Problem, It Was Social Engineering (This Happens in Proprietary Software Too and, in This Case, It Was Enabled by Microsoft's Proprietary Social Control Media Disguised as 'Codeforge') http://techrights.org/n/2024/04/02/Richard_Stallman_Was_Right_and_What_Happened_in_XZ_Wasn_t_a_Lin.shtml [01:00] TR Bot Techrights Richard Stallman Was Right and What Happened in XZ Wasn't a "Linux" or Free Software Problem, It Was Social Engineering (This Happens in Proprietary Software Too and, in This Case, It Was Enabled by Microsoft's Proprietary Social Control Media Disguised as 'Codeforge') [01:01] DaemonFC Prices are not so out of control here like they are in Europe that you worry about how long you can possibly stretch an oil change.

[01:12] DaemonFC So she reported it to the bank and they gave it back but then AT&T turned her over to collections, but left the phones working.

[01:20] psydruid AT&T seems like a really scummy company [01:20] DaemonFC Back then you had to write all the credit bureaus by hand and you only got one credit report for free each year.
