[05:24]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], Illinois is now investigating State Farm for price gouging after the company announced homeowner's insurance rates are increasing 27% as of next month.
[05:25]	IsambardPrince	Pritzker was furious while he was having his press conference about it.
[05:25]	IsambardPrince	He said it will cost "homeowners" several hundred dollars more per year in premiums than they pay now.
[05:25]	IsambardPrince	Yes, the cost of a mortgage isn't fixed.
[05:26]	IsambardPrince	Home insurance and property taxes can go up and those increase the cost of the mortgage.
[05:27]	IsambardPrince	Your mortgage company is informed immediately if you terminate the home insurance policy, and they will force place one on you and add it to the mortgage. The difference is that you will not get to rate shop and it may not be the rate you could get yourself, and if you don't pay the forced placed insurance (which is now the mortgage itself!) they will foreclose on the home.
[05:27]	IsambardPrince	They're not going to let you sit there and risk their investment, the house.
[05:45]	schestowitz[TR3]	nice.

[06:07]	IsambardPrince	When you sign the paperwork and pull out of the dealership lot and the car goes "kerthunk" getting onto the road. That was the sound of the loss of $6,000.
[06:07]	IsambardPrince	If you circle the block and coem back and sell it to that dealership they will offer you $6,000 under what you just agreed to pay for it 10 minutes ago.

[09:39]	IsambardPrince	I had a Sempron that supported AMD64.
[09:40]	IsambardPrince	But I later got an Athlon64 3200+ for $20 because it was on closeout.
[09:40]	IsambardPrince	So I opened the Walmart PC I was using and put that in and spread some thermal paste on and put the fan and heatsink back on top of it.
[09:41]	IsambardPrince	upgraded the RAM, basic Nvidia graphics card. Not fancy but better than onboard.
[09:41]	IsambardPrince	It had an "Nvidia" onboard, but it was horrible.
[09:41]	IsambardPrince	It had glitches on many OpenGL applications that replacing it with a PCI Nvidia card didn't have.
[09:42]	IsambardPrince	I did some benchmarks after my $20 CPU upgrade and I found that it was about 20-30% faster than the Sempron I took out overall.

[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	That doesn't sound very left wing to me because, in software, copying does not remove the original, meaning limited intervention by government is needed to protect those rights. All the state need do is refuse to participate in legal action undertaken by those trying to trample on others modifying the code. At most, I would argue that state intervention might be needed to compell the release of source code, if mandatory source cod
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	e release forms part of the mechanism.
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	That said, that doesn't mean it's inherently bad (as a consequence of being 'left' or 'right'). I think trying to put everything you agree with on the same side of the spectrum that you self-identfy with (and, conversely, putting everything you disagree with on the other side) is harmful to the people because it hinders bipartisanship on universally good ideas and enables malfeasance by leaders in an aligned party."
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	"
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	Well said ... not EVERYTHING needs to be politicised to 'Left' or 'Right' !!!
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	Unfortunately, virtually everything in the US of A is now given a designation 'Left' or 'Right' rather than needed or NOT needed, useful or NOT useful etc etc !!!
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	[This trend is spreading worldwide as it is such an effective diversion to attack 'Others'.]
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	What is needed right now is more people to be prepared to ignore the 'Flag' they support & stand under and consider what is needed for the greater good. Maybe the 'Other' might have a good idea or two ... why ignore them because they came from the 'Wrong' team !!!
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	Your neighbour is NOT your enemy and the fake fight with 'Others' is just a distraction for the real crooks & malfeasants who are 'gaming' the system at your expense.
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR3]	Don't look at the 'ENEMY' ... look at the people who are identifying the 'ENEMY' you are supposed to be against ... are 'THEY' so 'Squeaky Clean' ???!!!

[22:03]	IsambardPrince	American Express - Why They're Successful
[22:05]		*psydroid3 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.2.6 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/)
[22:06]	IsambardPrince	I have Discover cards. They still say "Diner's Club" on the back of them strangely enough.
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	Although Diner's Club hasn't been a thing in decades, you still see the logo where the Discover logo is on businesses.
[22:09]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	American Express has all these travel perks, but then you find out that it's actually hard to use the cards if you go out of the country. Even when you can use it abroad, they charge a fee of 3.5% that many Visa and MasterCards don't have.
[22:10]	IsambardPrince	Capital One has no foreign transaction fee. That came in handy several times when I had to buy something in other currencies online. I almost never use my Capital One cards unless I am doing that and want to avoid getting whacked with a 3.5% fee on top of the transaction.
[22:11]	IsambardPrince	I keep the Discover cards around because Mandy and I both have Discover It and they occasionally have some sort of crazy promo or a good bonus category (they revolve).
[22:11]	IsambardPrince	So there's no spending on them for months, then there's a huge spike, then no spending for months.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	Discover could have avoided being acquired by Capital One had they been more innovative and done something to encourage people with Discover cards to keep them "top of the wallet". I think American Express is eating up most of the higher end business these days. Other banks are fighting over less desirable customers.

[22:14]	IsambardPrince	My dad still keeps his Discover card top of the wallet, but he's a 72 year old man that's not looking for premium benefits. You can't run a company when the average age of your customers is going up about 1 year every year.
[22:48]	IsambardPrince	Discover was primarily useful for being really easy to get as a person with a bankruptcy. A relatively low deposit which gets returned in 5-6 months when they up the limit and convert it to a normal card.
