| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I used the "It's back! Big is back!" to mention the Capital One bonus is $400 again. | May 17 00:58 |
| IsambardPrince | I want a big car that's really fast and gets really shitty gas mileage! | May 17 00:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Some of these newer cars are really fast and fun to drive. | May 17 01:00 |
| IsambardPrince | But they are extremely finicky and expensive to repair as they get a bit of age on them. | May 17 01:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I was driving this huge Chevy Equinox SUV a few months ago as a loaner. | May 17 01:00 |
| IsambardPrince | It just flies down the road, and it doesn't even have a big engine. | May 17 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | I think it was like a 2 liter I4 or something, but they turbocharged it and it's got gasoline direct injection and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). | May 17 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | So it just takes off like you wouldn't believe. | May 17 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | But people who buy them say they get 3-4 years in and everything's all fucked. | May 17 01:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Like, especially the CVT which likes to die at around 40,000-50,000 miles. | May 17 01:02 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why it has a 30,000 mile or two year standard warranty. | May 17 01:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Things that really shouldn't ever be made of plastic, are plastic, including the oil pan and the oil drain plug itself. | May 17 01:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I was talking to my mechanic. He said they replace those plastic drain plugs so often that you should just consider them disposable. | May 17 01:03 |
| IsambardPrince | If you keep using it, eventually it could just fall out and drain all your motor oil on the road while you're driving. | May 17 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | So we've reached a real paradox here. | May 17 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Motor oil is better than it's ever been. More refined, more pure, very resistant to heat, doesn't sludge, lots of detergents, formulated to keep emissions systems healthy longer. | May 17 01:05 |
| IsambardPrince | But it's going in cars that were only designed to last 4-5 years. | May 17 01:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Those old Detroit monsters that had the huge engines didn't give a FUCK what sort of motor oil you used. | May 17 01:06 |
| IsambardPrince | When I was young broke kid, I just grabbed the cheapest shit Walmart had to offer. | May 17 01:06 |
| IsambardPrince | My Corsica took 4 quarts exactly, and a filter, the filter was $1.50, and the four quarts of oil were 77 cents each. | May 17 01:06 |
| IsambardPrince | The whole oil change cost you $4.58 plus tax. | May 17 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | $11 if you had Walmart change it for you. | May 17 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | And the car didn't care, as long as you changed it every few thousand miles, you were golden. | May 17 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Your car ran for decades, accumulated 400,000 miles maybe. | May 17 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they have these oil change "packages". | May 17 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh the packages. | May 17 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Walmart's are $70 plus tax on some cars, the dealer is $130. For a Chevy! | May 17 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Sludge doesn't really come from what oil brand you choose. They're all good enough to avoid sludge, if you change it often enough. | May 17 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Sludge itself is the *sign* of a problem. Flushing it all out doesn't fix where it came from and what caused it. | May 17 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | It came from neglect, and it's primarily composed of oil that has suffered thermal failure, dirt that it couldn't suspend anymore, various soot and combustion byproducts, it's acidic, and it's probably picked up metallic shavings because your bearings are all shot. | May 17 01:10 |
| IsambardPrince | It accumulates over the seals and gaskets, on the inside of the engine, and causes them to fail, but as the sludge settles in, it ironically becomes a new seal and holds back an oil leak. | May 17 01:11 |
| IsambardPrince | So when you go to flush it out, suddenly you have all these oil leaks. | May 17 01:11 |
| IsambardPrince | I plan around how oil fails, I don't just use great oil, I use great filters. | May 17 01:12 |
| IsambardPrince | The ones that get a decent amount of wear particles down to 20 micron and the ones that can hold more contaminants before they get clogged and open the bypass valve. | May 17 01:13 |
| IsambardPrince | When an oil filter has been in use for so long it's clogged, it has a bypass filter, because the alternative is either the oil filter fails internally and it gets breached and sends pieces of itself along with the oil, or it opens the bypass valve and lets unfiltered oil circulate. | May 17 01:14 |
| IsambardPrince | I saw a video where a KIA Soul got to 40,000 miles without an oil change, and they opened it up, out comes some stuff....that used to be oil. It's supposed to be dirty, yet liquid at the change interval, but this stuff was solid, it just sort of "plopped" out. | May 17 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | For some reason, the dumbest people are always the ones who can get a new car, and then do this. | May 17 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | And so after 40,000 miles it was so far gone that it was like "plop plop plop" and most of it was stuck inside the engine. | May 17 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | They had to do a crankcase flush, and the car still didn't run right. | May 17 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | But then you have Mobil claiming the Oil Change Interval is "20,000 miles" with Mobil 1. | May 17 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, if 40,000 is plop plop (fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is!) why would you want to go even half that distance without an oil change? | May 17 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | But then in the small print on the same bottle that nobody will read, Mobil's lawyers made them say.... | May 17 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | "Or one year, whichever comes first. Consult your owner's manual and follow the recommended oil change interval." | May 17 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Okay, so if NO OWNER'S MANUAL says to do 20,000 miles, where did the big 20,000 miles lettering come from? | May 17 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | So basically "Never do what we just said you should do." | May 17 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | In size 1 font at the bottom. | May 17 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Don't ever listen to the Oil Life Monitor. It's just counting down the number of miles. GM infamously put in an OLM that said "Go 6,000 miles" but their engine consumed so much oil that many of them burned up. | May 17 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | So they issued a recall. | May 17 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | What did the recall fix? Nothing. They reprogrammed it to say "Oil Change Needed" every 3,000 miles no matter what. | May 17 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | All the manufacturers want their cars to be as "hassle free" as possible. | May 17 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | So we're seeing 10,000 mile oil changes, nothing about transmission servicing at all, and an engine air filter every 50,000 miles. | May 17 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I change my oil every 3,000 miles, sometimes more often. I service the transmission every 40,000 miles, and I change the air filters every year regardless of miles. | May 17 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | GM says change the Dexcool engine coolant every 5 years or 150,000 miles. It starts sludging after 3 years. | May 17 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Change it every 2-3 years, whatever the mileage. | May 17 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Probably some of these "Chevy problems" are just that the owners are slobs like my mother who don't do anything to the car except fill it with the absolute cheapest gas they can find and drag the muffler down the street ("very slowly") and tells the shop "Either weld it or I'll just let it fall off." | May 17 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | She actually dragged her muffler down the road all the way to a muffler shop and said if they didn't weld it for $100 it could just fall off and she didn't care. | May 17 01:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Not having a muffler (or an exhaust pipe, or catalytic converter) is not only illegal, it's dangerous. | May 17 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | It can cause exhaust to end up in the cabin with you instead of exiting the back of the car. | May 17 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | The catalyst changes photochemical smog contributors and poisonous gases like Carbon Monoxide into things like Carbon Dioxide and water vapor. | May 17 01:30 |
| MinceR | 17 020525 < IsambardPrince> But it's going in cars that were only designed to last 4-5 years. | May 17 01:56 |
| MinceR | maybe the regulators should have figured the environmental impact of the parts replaced and the vehicles replaced early because everything has to be so thrifty with fuel | May 17 01:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah. The reason those old engines go on so long is they're easier to work on, they trade off power and fuel economy for longevity (turbocharged engines are under more stress), and they tended to use plastic sparingly, if at all. | May 17 02:02 |

| IsambardPrince | Just put bioneural gel packs, a better warp core, some quantum torpedo launchers, and a few other things on D and it's good to go again. | May 17 18:06 |
| IsambardPrince | The only reason for the Sovereign Class is they wanted something that looked more impressive on the screen. | May 17 18:06 |
| IsambardPrince | But then someone mentioned the Borg Queen that they defeat in Picard (with the D taken out of mothballs) was weak. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | I commented: | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | "It was pretty much down to the Queen and she was cannibalizing the drones. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | She had gone insane and her plan wasn't to assimilate Earth or anything else for the point of a collective, she just wanted to wipe out life, everywhere. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | But the weapons systems on the Cube seemed to work fine. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Data was in control of the helm and I think the Enterprise-D could "dance* because Data is such a capable pilot because he's so much faster and smarter than any human. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The limit to starship operations seems to be mostly like any computer we have today. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It spends almost all its time waiting for the user to tell it what to do. It has all this power and it has to wait on you. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It's like The Wishmaster said, "Do you know how annoying it is to have unlimited power, and only be able to use it when some worm asks you for something?" | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | I wonder if that's how the Enterprise-D computer sees humans, | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Remember it's got so much processing power that it became self-aware and reproduced a new lifeform? | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | And that when Reginald Barclay was under the control of knowledge that the satellite array beamed into him, he fused himself with the computer, and became the smartest man alive? | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | He said trying to force him back into his human body would kill him, he understood completely how the universe worked, and he used the computer's extensions of his human mind to bypass the normal functions of the warp drive and use it to fold space and take the Enterprise so far out that it would have taken decades to get to the nearest Starbase at Warp 9. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, the Enterprise-D was pretty freaking sweet already, especially the computer. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The Majel Barrett voice was there for you, the only thing protecting them from having it go rogue was some programming to serve the crew. | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Remember when Q's son, Q (they're all Q), programmed Voyager's computer core with a personality and it told Janeway "Get it yourself!" when she asked it for coffee? | May 17 18:07 |
| IsambardPrince | That's how I suspect the computers on the Federation ships really think of the crew. | May 17 18:07 |

| IsambardPrince | They mothballed them again after Desert Storm, but they were essentially a larger Arleigh Burke Destroyer with more carrying capacity. | May 17 18:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump decided, on his own, that he was going to force the Navy to design a "Trump-class battleship". | May 17 18:15 |
| IsambardPrince | The thing is extremely expensive. It might be the most expensive thing to hit the bottom of the ocean if it ever sees combat against a modern Chinese fleet. | May 17 18:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Since it was conceived of by idiots, the propaganda poster for it was produced by idiots. | May 17 18:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It showed it as being under attack from all directions, and firing point defense lasers (which really exist, but you can't see a red laser beam, the laser is invisible to the naked eye). | May 17 18:17 |
| IsambardPrince | In reality, any Captain of such a ship that allowed it to come under attack like that would be stripped of his rank and thrown out of the Navy. And it would have escort ships as well. Nothing that size goes out without support. | May 17 18:18 |
| IsambardPrince | This is the administration that drained the reflecting pool in front of the Washington monument, so they could pay $7 million in a no bid contract that went to a firm that "did some pool work" for Trump, and paint the bottom blue. | May 17 18:20 |
| IsambardPrince | When you do that, it absorbs more heat from the sun, the water in that pool will be 15 degrees F hotter than it was before, causing algae blooms. | May 17 18:20 |
