oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: so they have got smart where insurance and registeration are 100 percent integrated like Australia.    As in cancel third party insurance early you automatically cancel registration.Jan 12 00:49
DaemonFC[m]oiaohm: I canceled the insurance on that Kia as soon as I abandoned it at the dealer.Jan 12 00:50
DaemonFC[m]John might have redeemed the car not, but I'm certainly not going to pay for insurance on a car that I lost because he accused me of a crime that I had to spend all of my money defending myself against. :PJan 12 00:51
DaemonFC[m]*noteJan 12 00:51
DaemonFC[m]He got the car back. He can figure out how to pay for that and the insurance.Jan 12 00:52
DaemonFC[m]They can order me not to talk to him again.Jan 12 00:55
DaemonFC[m]But they can't order me to pay any of his bills.Jan 12 00:55
oiaohmWe don't have registration sticker here any more they purely work by scanning number plate against database if you are registered or not.    Inside 1 hour of canceling you third party insurance you can be pulled up for driving without registration here.Jan 12 00:55

DaemonFC[m]Under Indiana law, towns/cities can agree to deputize any law enforcement officer from another Indiana jurisdiction.Jan 12 02:18

DaemonFC[m]In rural areas, it's the Sheriff's Department that is responsible for law enforcement, but they can arrest people in the towns within that county.Jan 12 02:20
DaemonFC[m]Indiana has a lot of levels of government. They're slowly chipping away at it.Jan 12 02:20

oiaohmBasically I know you don't want to here it but the best action is really clean it up while it wet and fairly quickly.Jan 12 10:05
oiaohmscientes: lot of places if  you know where to look you will find coke and coffee stains in tiles.Jan 12 10:07
oiaohmThat only happens if you don't clean those off while they are wet.Jan 12 10:08

scientesI know the paper cabal promotes that, but it is really wastefulJan 12 10:13

oiaohmjust becuase it got stained.Jan 12 10:14
scientesi still don't quite believe you that coke is that nastyJan 12 10:14
scientesthat it can stain tileJan 12 10:14
oiaohmcoke is a fun item.  1 it can stain tile.  2 used carefully it can remove stains from tile.Jan 12 10:16
oiaohmscientes: please note not all tiles are created equal some coke cannot stain its due to the coating done in the tile making process what its resistance is.Jan 12 10:19
oiaohmSome of your custom business logo tiles don't have the greatest coating on them.Jan 12 10:20
oiaohmscientes: basically if you don't know what the tile is it safer to presume it one that will stain and be wrong than presume that it one that will not stain and be wrong.Jan 12 10:21
oiaohmscientes: https://www.builddirect.com/learning-center/flooring/remove-stains-from-ceramic-porcelain-tile/  do note they note here "porous finish"  You get tiles with porous and non porous finish.   Porous finish has a very light to no coating to cover come.Jan 12 10:26

oiaohmscientes: in a house with messes with coke and other drinks I have using normal bathmats/towels for clean up as well.  Once you think a little finding something to clean these mess up quickly is simple.   Not cleaning it up quickly and having to do tile or other surface replacements is not.Jan 12 10:29

DaemonFC[m]Londo because it's a narcotic, and give it to G'Kar, who is still furious because it's too late. Then Sinclair reminds him that light from a star never stops traveling, and the light that passed by that place on their home world 8 years ago is hitting the station at a particular time. So he accepts the "loophole" and performs the ritual with the other Narn on the station.Jan 12 19:57

MinceRi hope it's a short resurgence and not just the latest step in things going worse and worseJan 12 20:00
XRevan86scientes: Besides, this is a well-known sceneJan 12 20:01
XRevan86A cultural reference if you mayJan 12 20:01
DaemonFC[m]What happened was that the US had a short burst of progressive measures all passing at once and it made the old folks edgy and Trump was their answer, and he's been "partially contained" after trying to attack health care, and LGBT civil rights and all that, without a lot of success.Jan 12 20:02
DaemonFC[m]If you look at the state level, the conservatives are still getting their asses kicked. 28 states now have a much higher minimum wage. In 12 (where about half the total US population lives), the Fight for $15 won. Marijuana is legalized in more places all the time. Gerrymandering is being defeated, state by state.Jan 12 20:03
DaemonFC[m]In Virginia, the conservatives just took a bloodbath. 10 years ago, they had Bob "Transvaginal Ultrasound" McDonnell, and today there's not a Republican in charge of dog catching.Jan 12 20:04
DaemonFC[m]Which Republican governor said he was "hiking the Appalachian Trail" and then nobody from the state could get ahold of him and they found him with his mistress? Mark Sanford. Okay, so what did the Republicans do? Sent him to Congress. Of course. Family values, my big fat ass.Jan 12 20:05
DaemonFC[m]My ex's dad had family values like these Republican men, apparently. He started a lot of families and valued them very little. Jan 12 20:06
DaemonFC[m]The bitch of it is that if Mark Sanford was black, he'd just be another "black dad that disappeared and now you have two problems" -Former Republican Governor of Maine, Paul LePage. Actually, he said, "These black guys from New York named Shifty or Shady or something come up here for our young white girls and now you have two problems.".Jan 12 20:08
DaemonFC[m]I can't remember if that was before or after he left obscene voicemails threatening to "fucking murder" their Democratic House Speaker.Jan 12 20:09
DaemonFC[m]"Republican Values"Jan 12 20:10
DaemonFC[m]The state police in Maine had to open a criminal investigation over that into their own governor. Awkward.Jan 12 20:10
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, we get nasty politicians here. Like 80% of them are Republican and like 95% of the worst of them are Republicans.Jan 12 20:11
DaemonFC[m]The Democratic House Speaker of Illinois is the Republican bogeyman, but the funny part is that most people are like "Who the hell is Mike Madigan?" because he's so low key and polite.Jan 12 20:12
DaemonFC[m]He's been the Speaker for like, longer than I've been alive. Illinois used to be a pretty red state, then a swing state, now the Republicans barely exist. The reason for that isn't that the state took a sudden hard turn to the left. It's mostly because the Republicans are so extreme that the Democrats are the 1970s Republicans, and the state of Illinois just didn't go the way the rest of the midwest did.Jan 12 20:14
DaemonFC[m]But in the middle of Mike Madigan's first decade, Illinois voted for Ronald Reagan twice, as did California, where Reagan was the Governor previously. Jan 12 20:15
DaemonFC[m]Americans used to be pretty much on the same page. To the point where there have been elections in my life where the winning presidential candidate did a sweep and only lost one state.Jan 12 20:16
DaemonFC[m]Even Clinton got like, what? 378 electoral votes the first time? Well over 300 the second time too. The elections have been a lot closer lately and Bush and Trump actually both lost the popular vote and got in because of the electoral college. Without the electoral college, Republicans wouldn't have been in office since 1993.Jan 12 20:17
DaemonFC[m]We're actually dealing with a country that has left the Republicans behind as a national party. The only reason they got in since I was 9 years old is because of a constitutional quirk where the real voters are party hacks.Jan 12 20:18
DaemonFC[m]What's been rumbling underneath the surface, quietly, slowly, is an agreement between the states to allocate their electoral votes to the popular vote winner. It's moving again because Trump has caused a lot of Republicans to lose office at the state level.Jan 12 20:19
DaemonFC[m]Believe me, the compact is on the agenda in Virginia for sure.Jan 12 20:20
DaemonFC[m]People are outraged that someone can lose an election and become the president anyway. So this agreement kicks in when states totaling 270 electoral votes have passed it. Then they just allocate their electoral votes the way the nation voted. The reason it's legal is because the constitution says states can allocate their electoral votes however they want.Jan 12 20:21
DaemonFC[m]The constitution is actually very undemocratic, and until the 17th amendment, which Republicans want to repeal, it was worse. In theory, states could decide not to let you vote for the presidential electors at all. They could pass a law saying that the legislature does it. That's how the US Senate elections used to work.Jan 12 20:24
DaemonFC[m]The original constitution not only set up the electoral college and counted slaves in the south who didn't have voting rights, it also said we couldn't vote for US Senators and that the state legislatures would pick them.Jan 12 20:25
<--social_log has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)Jan 12 20:27
DaemonFC[m]So an up or down vote on all of Congress  wasn't in the original constitution. Neither was voting rights for women (up to the states, which banned women from voting well into the 20th century), and many states said you had to be 21 to vote (which went away since 18 year olds could be drafted to go to war). Going back further, many states said only people who owned property and could pay a poll tax could vote.Jan 12 20:27
DaemonFC[m]So, only white men who owned property and were over 21 could vote, and they had no control over the Senate, and very little sway over who became the president. Jan 12 20:28
-->social_log (~roy@host81-154-169-2.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #techrightsJan 12 20:28
DaemonFC[m]So when I hear that our constitution was a blessing from "God" or something ridiculous like that, it's like what Carlin said. "So he forgot a few things. Like slavery! Just slipped his mind. The constitution is from God and that's why it's had to be amended another 27 times.".Jan 12 20:29
DaemonFC[m]It was an extremely bad document that enfranchised about 10% of the people living in the United States, had provisions for giving slave owners more clout, said you couldn't even consider banning slavery until 1808, and slavery wasn't banned until 1865. Further, Reconstruction was sabotaged and Jim Crow took its place for about another 100 years or so.Jan 12 20:31
DaemonFC[m]It neither secured the blessings of liberty for the people of the United States, nor promoted freedom, or democracy, or anything of the sort. It had to be patched. A lot. The people who wrote it wouldn't even recognize it now.Jan 12 20:32
DaemonFC[m]Even in modern times.... You look at all of the rights in the Bill of Rights and the other Amendments. They're all negative rights. Things the government can't do to you. Freedoms that it cannot take away. The Constitutional amendments have never been used to just generally take freedom away from a particular class of Americans. Only to expand freedom. But Republicans in Washington tried using the amendment process toJan 12 20:34
DaemonFC[m]ban same sex marriage and stop states from recognizing either that or a civil union. Jan 12 20:34
DaemonFC[m]So the Federal Marriage Amendment says that in modern times, the only party trying to use the Constitution to take away rights and freedoms from people, which has actually never happened before (unless you count Prohibition of alcohol, briefly), are the damned Republicans.Jan 12 20:35
DaemonFC[m]When that ran out of steam and the Supreme Court struck down the DOMA and state laws, it's not a "local issue" according to the Republicans who tried banning it everywhere from Washington and lost.Jan 12 20:37
DaemonFC[m]*nowJan 12 20:37
DaemonFC[m]It's a federal issue or a local one, depending on where the Republicans have lost recently.Jan 12 20:37
DaemonFC[m]> i hope it's a short resurgence and not just the latest step in things going worse and worseJan 12 20:38
DaemonFC[m]If you look at the polls, most Americans have been so done with Trump, and his goons, and their antics, and their street violence for some time now.Jan 12 20:38
MinceRhttps://hugelolcdn.com/i/647776.jpgJan 12 20:38

MinceRsure, a minority did, but it was still significantJan 12 20:39
MinceRand there's the context of a global neofascist tendencyJan 12 20:39
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Well, his party losing the House of Representatives was a major blow to his agenda.Jan 12 20:40
MinceRyeah, there's thatJan 12 20:40
DaemonFC[m]He can screw around with regulations and appoint people to things still, but he's done getting new laws.Jan 12 20:40
DaemonFC[m]And regulations are subject to judicial review, and a lot of them have been struck down.Jan 12 20:40
MinceRhe did manage to bias the supreme court in favor of the fascists thoughJan 12 20:41
DaemonFC[m]In some cases. They haven't always ruled in his favor.Jan 12 20:42
DaemonFC[m]Things can still go either way, but if anything happens and he appoints one more, it's going to be really bad.Jan 12 20:42
DaemonFC[m]They pretend to be independent, but he's been vetting them to make sure they're all on the same page in a way that other presidents have never had to before.Jan 12 20:43
DaemonFC[m]So their rulings are more predictable.Jan 12 20:43
DaemonFC[m]And he's mostly choosing people who could be there for 40 years.Jan 12 20:43
DaemonFC[m]I think the lawsuits over marriage laws had to happen when it did.Jan 12 20:44
DaemonFC[m]I don't believe that the Supreme Court will take it up and reverse itself now that the ruling happened.Jan 12 20:44
DaemonFC[m]In theory, it could, but I doubt it.Jan 12 20:44
DaemonFC[m]Roe v. Wade is in far greater danger.Jan 12 20:44
DaemonFC[m]Conservatives can't claim that "babies are being murdered" because of gay marriage.Jan 12 20:45
DaemonFC[m]So they're pretty much just grousing about that quietly, but they get really heated up over abortion.Jan 12 20:45
DaemonFC[m]There's still hardcore anti-gay groups, but they've lost a lot of financial support now that their cause is lost.Jan 12 20:48
DaemonFC[m]Without money, it's hard to launch a huge propaganda campaign.Jan 12 20:48
