[21:38] DaemonFC Christ. [21:38] DaemonFC I just redid the brakes. What the hell is happening with that thing? [21:38] DaemonFC It's under warranty. I'm going to have them look at it again. [21:39] DaemonFC I call it the "farting brake pedal". [21:39] DaemonFC Because sometimes it makes a "farting" noise and the pedal pulses a little, and then it's fine again for a while. [21:40] DaemonFC It was doing it almost every single time I stopped when I took it in for new wheel bearings, brake pads, and rotors, back in April. [21:40] DaemonFC I have not seen anything weird going on with the rotors. [21:40] DaemonFC I inspected them when I got home. Took it through the car was and had it flush everything out really good. [21:40] DaemonFC I had a bird strike this morning taking Mandy to work. [21:41] DaemonFC A bird flew in front of the car, swooped down and I felt it in the steering wheel when I hit it going about 40 or 45 miles per hour. [21:41] DaemonFC It felt like it bounced off the bumper or something, but it may have gone under the car. [21:42] DaemonFC I went to the car wash in case there were bird bits or something stuck in the wheel well somewhere that I couldn't see. [21:42] DaemonFC The thing was fucking huge. [21:43] DaemonFC I ran it back on my dashcam and it captured the strike. [21:43] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Reminds me of Married With Children. [21:44] DaemonFC Remember when Steve had to drive his Mercedes through Grant Park to get away from a road rage incident and he hit a bunch of pigeons? [21:44] DaemonFC They got stuck in his radiator grill and roasted to death on it. [21:44] DaemonFC Al says "Bud!" and he's got a bucket and tongs and says "Already on it, dad! Just call me the Colonel!". [21:45] DaemonFC You had to watch through the series to notice that something bad was always happening to Steve's Mercedes. [21:47] DaemonFC Just off the top of my head there were the pigeons, Al backing into it and leaving a note "Next time buy an American car!", Marcy driving it in defiance of Steve telling her to leave her hands off of it, and scraping the side on the mailbox (iirc), and finally, they go camping and a bear attacks it and rips it apart and tosses Steve the hood ornament, and he's in shock going "$26,000!!!!". (Which bought a Mercedes in 1985, of course. Now you [21:47] DaemonFC can barely get a KIA for that.) [21:48] DaemonFC The US government says the value of $1 when I was born in 1984 is now something like 42 cents. Something like that. Which doesn't sound so bad. [21:49] schestowitz[TR] hi [21:49] DaemonFC Until you consider that if you adjust it for rent, it's about 19 cents. If you adjust it for food, it's about 24 cents, and if you adjust it for a comparable size, brand, and quality of car, it's about 25 cents or so. [21:50] DaemonFC If you adjust it for gas, you're at about 16 cents.

[21:50] MinceR 10 225007 < schestowitz[TR]> wall of text [21:50] MinceR https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/04/10/i-hope-you-like-text [21:51] TR Bot I Hope You Like Text - Penny Arcade [21:53] DaemonFC About the only things that have gone down in actual or inflation adjusted terms are consumer crap that you really don't need, such as television sets, or things that people don't want anymore and can't command the price they had as a luxury item, like a stereo system and the CDs it can play. [21:57] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Sweatshops. [21:57] DaemonFC The people who voted for Ross Perot were really onto something. [21:58] DaemonFC Shame he didn't win. [21:58] DaemonFC I think he really would have terminated NAFTA before things could ever get this bad. [21:59] DaemonFC We already had the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement, and that didn't turn us into a "free trade zone" with a third world country where the money would flow in one direction and sweatshop goods would pour back in. ● Jul 10 [22:00] DaemonFC When you throw in Mexico, I mean... It didn't make Mexico much better. [22:00] DaemonFC There's a few really rich Mexicans that run the sweatshops. [22:00] DaemonFC Some got bad jobs in factories. It ruined Mexico's agriculture and banking sectors. [22:00] DaemonFC The US banks and corn and stuff started flowing in, which made the drug problem worse. [22:01] DaemonFC Without food crops to grow legitimately to meet domestic needs, the farmers in Mexico turned to things like Marijuana. [22:02] DaemonFC The government in Mexico is too weak and corrupt to deal with the drug trade. At the local level, the cartels run everything. They're so well armed that the military can't even move in and restore law and order. [22:02] DaemonFC So it's at a standstill, and by standstill, that means ongoing bloodbath. [22:03] schestowitz[TR] brb [22:03] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: you highlight me with walls of text [22:03] schestowitz[TR] anb it seems off-topic anyway [22:03] DaemonFC The "Free Trade Agreements" benefit Microsoft, GAFAM really. [22:04] schestowitz[TR] yeah [22:04] schestowitz[TR] not just fake "tech" companues [22:04] schestowitz[TR] pantagonware [22:04] schestowitz[TR] but other sectors too [22:04] DaemonFC It makes it hard to establish domestic tech and software industries because you agree to the deals, you agree to the patents. [22:04] schestowitz[TR] it's just codifying what ensures the rich get richer [22:04] schestowitz[TR] they don't need to "succeed" [22:04] schestowitz[TR] they just rig the game [22:04] schestowitz[TR] they control everytthing [22:04] schestowitz[TR] even the elections [22:05] DaemonFC These deals have created a perverse bizarro world where most Americans have a third world standard of living while everyone else hates us because they assume we can seize control via an election or something and put the train back on the tracks. [22:05] DaemonFC Saying you hate Americans is like saying you hate Russians, blanket statement. [22:06] DaemonFC Most of them couldn't get rid of Putin if they wanted to. [22:06] DaemonFC The ones that could have been bought off so that they don't want to. [22:07] schestowitz[TR] USians are sometimes distrusted because of perceievd arrogance [22:08] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I'm writing an article about Walmart and canned meat shortages. [22:08] DaemonFC How they use the websites and apps to control people, hide shortage issues until you try to order something, and charge more if you go into their store. [22:09] DaemonFC USians are sometimes distrusted because of perceievd arrogance [22:09] DaemonFC I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm any more or less arrogant than the average person I've encountered in Western Europe. [22:10] DaemonFC Most of them think their country that has had the shit taxed out of it while they stand in 6 year lines to get surgery from "free healthcare" and they're overrun by crime is the pinnacle of civilization. [22:10] DaemonFC I'm on here every day saying I hate Illinois. [22:10] schestowitz[TR] IL [22:10] schestowitz[TR] they should add a second L [22:11] DaemonFC Well, it's a postal thing you know, like IN for Indiana, WI for Wisconsin, IA for Iowa. [22:12] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], The funny thing is when we do our taxes and either owe or get a refund from the Illinois Department of Revenue.... [22:12] DaemonFC The bank says "State of ILL". [22:12] DaemonFC On the statement it says "State of ILL" and then the amount going out or coming in. [22:12] schestowitz[TR] ouch [22:13] schestowitz[TR] "give me your ill" [22:13] DaemonFC It's a very ILL state. [22:13] *swaggboi has quit (Read error: Connection timed out) [22:14] DaemonFC The rest of the state isn't much like Chicago at all, but it has too much political power, and most of the people there forget about the rest of the state entirely. [22:14] DaemonFC It's dysfunctional. [22:14] *swaggboi (~swaggboi@slackware.uk/supporter/swaggboi) has joined #techrights [22:14] DaemonFC It's like most states, you know. There's almost half the population that has no representation at all and can only complain about how fucked up everyone else made things. [22:15] DaemonFC Most of the laws here are botched attempts to solve some ridiculous problem Chicago is having. [22:15] DaemonFC Like the FOID Act, which didn't help anyone in Highland Park. 70-80 people shot every day in Chicago itself. [22:15] DaemonFC "give me your ill" [22:16] DaemonFC The state is being taken over by immigrants who don't realize that the place is messed up and corrupt as fuck because they're from somewhere much worse so they don't see what the problem is. [22:16] DaemonFC Like the Philippines. [22:17] DaemonFC Say what you want about Pritzker, he's a damned sight better than bongbong. [22:17] *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights [22:18] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I put in a couple of orders for canned luncheon meat at Walmart to wipe out the shelf of the store brand for Less Sodium and LITE. [22:18] DaemonFC They're starting to have severe in stock problems. [22:18] DaemonFC So I'm just going to buy all I can get of it when it is there and put it under the bed. No it's not a Madame Harmon thing. It stays good for 10 years and we eat quite a bit of it. [22:19] DaemonFC They raised the price of the name brand significantly, but not the store brand oddly enough. So there used to be a relatively small difference, and now it's huge. [22:20] DaemonFC $1.98 a can vs. $3.12, and now the name brand is $3.58 a can. [22:20] DaemonFC They turned something we used to laugh at into something that's actually really really expensive. [22:21] DaemonFC You used to look at SPAM as "thrifty" right? Because it was an example of industrial-scale problem solving for the agricultural industry. We'd pass out millions and millions of cans of it to prevent people from starving. [22:21] *betsy has quit (connection closed) [22:22] DaemonFC Just the way it's processed, it says "Use by 2033" or something on the can and to be honest if you store it right, it's probably safe for at least a couple more years after that. [22:22] schestowitz[TR] 2033? [22:22] DaemonFC YEAH! [22:22] schestowitz[TR] might indicate they put nasty things in them [22:22] DaemonFC It's really not. [22:22] schestowitz[TR] like intesticides [sic] [22:22] DaemonFC It's basically ham and pork. They salt it and then vacuum seal the can and cook it inside the can. [22:22] *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights [22:23] schestowitz[TR] a lot of that food as chemicals bad for the gut [22:23] DaemonFC It's completely sterile inside the can and then there's salt, so yeah. [22:23] schestowitz[TR] I only leanred after I had had canned food for ages [22:23] DaemonFC It's pretty simple stuff that stays good indefinitely. [22:23] schestowitz[TR] I forgot the key component in preservatives, not salt [22:23] DaemonFC Like if you absolutely HAD to, you could probably crack open a can of SPAM and eat it 20 or 25 years from now. [22:24] DaemonFC More, even. Nobody really knows. [22:24] *betsy has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) [22:24] DaemonFC It's not like food preservation like this is new. There's a guy on YouTube that eats old military rations that were packed for World War II and stuff. [22:24] DaemonFC Including the meat. [22:25] DaemonFC He unpacked some vacuum packed cigarettes in a tin can that were part of a British military ration from World War II and smoked them. [22:25] DaemonFC They were still fine.

[22:26] DaemonFC I'm not a smoker, but occasionally, if it's something "decent", as an exception to the rule... Eh. This would be a curiosity thing, right? [22:26] DaemonFC Probably wouldn't inhale. [22:27] DaemonFC I was talking to mom about how hotel hot tubs used to be.

[22:27] DaemonFC Today, you can't do that even if it's an outdoor hot tub. [22:28] DaemonFC We used to go on vacation to the Adam's Mark Hotel in Indianapolis, and stay there for like a week, and they hosted a science fiction convention dad would go to. [22:28] DaemonFC The hotel was really so classy that I can't imagine how they got a sci-fi convention there where a bunch of weirdos showed up. [22:29] DaemonFC They got kicked out of the hotel a few times. [22:29] DaemonFC Weird stuff would go on, like one year a woman was having sex with a bunch of men in the hot tub. [22:30] DaemonFC Eventually, they just told the convention it would be the last year they were allowed to book the hotel. [22:30] DaemonFC But the entire hotel chain went under eventually.
