It depends entirely on what happens from here. It'll be closer. Some of the red states that only had a free election because they didn't expect a Democrat could win have shored up their election laws to prod things the other way. [18:44] matey if everything is rotting, the roaches start coming out of the woodwork [18:44] DaemonFC So it's going to have to be a different strategy. [18:44] matey biden is holding up an illusion of progress [18:44] DaemonFC And that means going after the base, even if it isn't good public policy. [18:45] matey and democrats are pretty good at getting two terms [18:45] DaemonFC Something like outright buying of votes.

Walmart billed the wrong credit card for my groceries because I added that one to pay at the pump with the Walmart+. So I had to cancel the order, get refunded, and place it for tomorrow instead on the appropriate card. [19:19] DaemonFC Juggling cards for points is kind of aggravating sometimes, but it's hundreds of dollars per year so I put up with it. [19:20] DaemonFC Gas is up at $4.59 a gallon. If I fill up at Exxon or Mobil, I can scan a QR code and pay through the Walmart app with my Discover card which has gas at 5% right now, and it still counts as gas, not Walmart. [19:21] DaemonFC But the payment to the station has to get routed exactly like that, and then I pay $4.27 a gallon instead of the $4.59. [19:23] DaemonFC So 32 cents a gallon is sort of worth putting up with the hassle when you consider that I have a 17.2 gallon tank and I go through approximately 1 gallon every 22 miles or so of city driving. (Although I still manage to do about 27 mpg on the freeway, despite the fact that I set the cruise control at 80 miles per hour, even though that means less than optimal freeway mileage). [19:24] DaemonFC The optimal mileage happens on most cars around 60 miles per hour. It used to be 55, but now it's closer to 60 because cars tend to be more aerodynamic and lighter than cars were during the last oil shocks, in the 1970s, when Congress passed the maximum speed law. [19:24] activelow that's excessive fuel consumption: ~15liters/100km; a modern car requires 66% less in the city [19:24] DaemonFC I actually tried this experiment out once in a 1995 Chevrolet Lumina with the 3.1 liter V6 and the 4t60-E transmission. [19:25] DaemonFC It achieved its best fuel economy at 62 miles per hour on the freeway. [19:25] DaemonFC Since I had to do a lot of freeway driving for work, I set the cruise control at exactly 62 miles per hour, because that's really easy on a long stretch of rural freeway. [19:26] DaemonFC that's excessive fuel consumption: ~15liters/100km; a modern car requires 66% less in the city [19:26] DaemonFC NAAAH [19:26] DaemonFC My Crown Victoria was a lot worse. [19:26] DaemonFC In Chicago city traffic, it got about 12 miles to the gallon. [19:26] DaemonFC Around Fort Wayne it got like 15 or 16 in the city. [19:26] DaemonFC If you got it out on the highway it did a lot better, as all cars do, because you're not asking as much of the engine on the highway. [19:27] activelow honestly, modern engines require ~5.5liters/100Km; tested myself with some VW type engines, one was a recent VW Passat with diesel engine, the other a VW golf with 1.2L gasoline [19:27] DaemonFC But when you only paid $2,000 for the car and the car is like SUPER reliable and you only put $100 a year into repairs for the five years you owned it, shitty gas mileage isn't really the same kind of killer that driving an unreliable car, or one with payments, is.

[19:29] activelow granted, although i think a reliable car and fuel economy can be had together [19:29] DaemonFC It really says a lot that the stupid Korean cars have an engine half that size and can't get good gas mileage.

[19:34] DaemonFC Once it's down to healthy metal, you do anti-corrosion treatment, then a body filler, primer, and paint. [19:34] DaemonFC If you do it properly, it won't start rusting again for many years. [19:35] DaemonFC But you have to make sure you grind all of it off. [19:35] DaemonFC So for probably at least the forseeable future, I should have a car that looks....pretty good. [19:36] DaemonFC The rust was too far advanced on the Impala to financially justify repairing. [19:36] DaemonFC Mom took it to some hillbilly to repair the back wheel wells in like 2007 I think. Even then, it looked pretty good until about 2018 when it started to bubble up again. [19:37] DaemonFC But that was still 11 years of driving the car around before the rust started to make it look nasty (and even now it still runs okay, so it has a few years left as a beater that looks bad). [19:37] DaemonFC If you just don't do anything about it, it'll rot the car out from under you right away and forget keeping it another 10-15 years. [19:38] DaemonFC If you wanted to dump more money in it, they could fix it _again_, but I mean, who wants to dump money into rust repair on a car with 300,000 miles. Not me. [19:38] DaemonFC And that wouldn't be the end of it either. [19:39] DaemonFC Mom was very hard on the interior. It's stained, it's ripped, some idiot cracked the dashboard to where if you take it out again one or two more times you're just going to have to replace it. [19:40] DaemonFC But then she got rid of the low mileage very reliable Crown Victoria I GAVE her because "It was a little bit faded by the sun.". [19:41] DaemonFC And she doesn't want to hear about how she got taken to the cleaners on that stupid 2011 Impala that cost her over $20,000 and is getting ready for an engine breakdown. [19:41] DaemonFC I said, "All you had to do to the Crown Victoria if you didn't want to look at it was pay MAACO $1,100 to find a new grill and spray it!.". [19:42] DaemonFC I mean, my God, even a cheap MAACO paint job would have made that thing look pretty good for many years. [19:42] DaemonFC It's always best to respray it the same color that it was before. That way if you get scratches or chips later and don't want to fix them, they'll just be down to the factory paint, which won't rust or be as eye catching.
