[00:01] DaemonFC No, you just implied look for another job, and oh, you have a mortgage, two cars, and a wife and kids? Well, hope you find another job that pays what this one does. [00:01] DaemonFC So these people are like all people. They start doing whatever they have to do to go home and not break the bad news to the family and then go upstairs and shoot themselves. [00:03] DaemonFC schestowitz New Landlord seems to be knocking out windows and putting in brand new air conditioners and then boarding up the hole where the old one went. [00:03] DaemonFC We might ask if we can just move across the hall when he's done with that unit and everything will be new. [00:03] DaemonFC It'd be the easiest move I've ever made. Grab stuff. Put it in the next room over. [00:04] schestowitz hmmm [00:04] schestowitz with global warming and rules, this might be just hi seeking compliance [00:04] schestowitz and ticking all the boxes [00:04] schestowitz so he can put tenants in [00:05] schestowitz it looks like this "bargain" is already costing him a lot [00:05] schestowitz it is, to him, what the old buick was to you [00:15] DaemonFC Yeah, Mark sez "Oh I haven't had to buy an air conditioner in years." Mark thinkz "Yeah, I just let half of them break and Ryan and Mandy were lucky enough to get one that's just loud. Oh my God this guy is a wet dream. He didn't even pay $5,000 for a real inspection but he has $2.3 million just for me. I can pay off all my debts and laugh while swimming in money. Reminder: Change phone... [00:15] DaemonFC ...number after sale." [00:16] schestowitz not swimming in money [00:16] schestowitz he pays back SOME of the debt [00:16] schestowitz probably has more debt left [00:17] DaemonFC If it was going to be so easy to jack up the rent and kick his feet back, Mark would have just done that years ago. [00:17] schestowitz "has $2 million in debt, have $2.4+ in estate" does not mean financial issues [00:17] schestowitz as you neighbour put it [00:17] DaemonFC He probably didn't really want rid of this place. [00:18] DaemonFC He probably racked up so much debt all over that it was the only choise. [00:18] DaemonFC *choice [00:18] DaemonFC I looked at his other buildings. [00:18] DaemonFC No for sale listings on them, BUT.... [00:18] DaemonFC According to property value trends, they're worth less than he paid for them in 2006. [00:19] DaemonFC He paid $406,000 for the one down the corner in 2006 and it could sell for $168,000 now. [00:19] DaemonFC According to Redfin, and Zillow and the rest aren't much different. [00:19] DaemonFC So he didn't sell those because he's underwater and he'd lose money on the sale, but he owns the title can can just keep renting them out. [00:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[00:20] DaemonFC So what he did was make a tactical move. He found a buyer who was willing to overpay, a lot. [00:20] DaemonFC And rolled with it. [00:20] DaemonFC And then he didn't have to sustain a book loss. [00:21] DaemonFC He keeps the properties that have inverted and rents them out and hopes things get better later. [00:21] DaemonFC schestowitz The restaurant industry is in deep shit. [00:22] DaemonFC They raised prices too far, too fast, and now they slip you the difference with rebates and stuff. [00:22] DaemonFC If you know where to look. [00:22] schestowitz we stoppped going [00:22] schestowitz compltelt [00:22] DaemonFC We went to Panda Express today. [00:22] schestowitz poverty is the "new normal" [00:22] DaemonFC They gave me a 25% rebate and then I used my 5% card to pay the rest. [00:22] schestowitz and the oligarchs pass new laws [00:22] schestowitz to "protect us" [00:23] DaemonFC schestowitz At a 30% discount, hell yeah, Panda Express.... [00:23] DaemonFC But like, if I have to go in there and pay the menu price, I won't. [00:23] DaemonFC It's like a gut punch these days. [00:24] DaemonFC Everything you go in and pay is a gut punch. [00:25] schestowitz cook at home [00:25] DaemonFC schestowitz I laughed. Walmart is apparently doing induction and fuel system cleaning service now. [00:25] DaemonFC $20. [00:25] DaemonFC They have an oil flush kit too. $10 on top of an oil change. [00:25] DaemonFC I don't know about it. Valvoline makes the flush solution. [00:26] DaemonFC It's one of those pour it in and start the engine and let it gargle the stuff for 10 minutes. Then change the filter and oil. [00:26] DaemonFC I doubt Valvoline would risk ruining their reputation making something that destroys engines. [00:27] DaemonFC There's sludge flush products that are too harsh and flush ALL the gunk out at once and even eat up seals and gaskets. [00:27] DaemonFC There's ones that just clean a little gunk and you should run them through every now and then. [00:27] DaemonFC Since it's impossible to tell the customer which is which, OEMs usually just say don't ever do an engine flush. [00:28] DaemonFC When half of them are so bad they'll ruin engines and the other half are fine you don't want to tell the customer that it's fine to do them. [00:28] DaemonFC It's the same with fuel additives. [00:28] DaemonFC GM says don't use anything except what they sell you, but the truth is there's plenty of good ones, and there's plenty of bad ones. [00:28] DaemonFC There's also ones that just don't work. [00:29] DaemonFC Techron is perfectly safe to use in just about any gas engine. [00:29] DaemonFC It's the same detergent they use in Chevron or Texaco gasoline, it's just a bigger dose. [00:30] DaemonFC The problem with Techron is that people wait until they're having such a bad problem out of their engine from shitty fuel that the stuff in a bottle doesn't do anything anymore. [00:31] DaemonFC The Techron is a good "Every few thousand miles." thing if you start with an engine that's already clean. [00:31] DaemonFC I had to break down and get an induction and injector service at a shop before my fuel problems went away in the Buick. [00:31] DaemonFC That old lady carboned the engine up pretty bad. [00:32] DaemonFC schestowitz Yes, the New Landlord bought a 1971 building. [00:32] DaemonFC I mean, he thought there were going to be no problems after half a century of landlords going "You know what? I don't want to do more than mow the lawn and replace the water heater when it completely shits itself."? [00:33] *eidolon has quit (Quit: ) [00:33] DaemonFC The mentality of a landlord is let the building fall apart while they extract as much rent as possible, then sell it to the next guy. [00:34] DaemonFC That's why there should be laws to encourage units that are owned by the people that live in them. [00:34] DaemonFC Landlords create urban decay. [00:34] DaemonFC It's not a new observation.

[00:48] schestowitz can you read a draft? [00:48] DaemonFC I don't know if they have a FOID card. [00:48] schestowitz took ages to work on [00:48] DaemonFC Part of that job was selling ammo. So it was a good thing I got Mandy a card. [00:48] schestowitz finding old material [00:49] DaemonFC It means like 90% of the people he works with, or more, are not qualified due to that alone.

[01:07] DaemonFC So they have entry level jobs for oil and tires. So they might do a great job on an engine rebuild and then balance your tires wrong. [01:07] schestowitz anyway, this is not military secrets [01:07] schestowitz it's a blunder [01:07] schestowitz and I protect here victims [01:07] schestowitz I myself am a victim [01:07] DaemonFC Mandy wondered about taking a job in the tire center at Walmart. [01:08] DaemonFC I told him he'd like it a lot less. [01:08] schestowitz so it would be very "bad look" to paint me as the issue [01:08] DaemonFC More risk of injury. No air conditioning. [01:08] DaemonFC He'll get dirt and oil and brake dust all over himself. [01:08] DaemonFC Same pay. [01:08] DaemonFC Cars are really pretty gross. [01:09] DaemonFC There aren't many out there that don't throw nasty stuff all over the place while they're driving around. [01:09] *techrights_guest_582 (~ad318a13@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights [01:09] DaemonFC Certainly the people going in to Walmart and asking for the cheapest oil change aren't as meticulous as I am. [01:10] DaemonFC schestowitz Today there was a Japanese guy that went in there and asked for an oil change. The service manager told him it would be a couple hours because they were running behind today. The guy said that was fine. Comes back 15 minutes later and wonders why they're not done and asks for his keys back. [01:10] DaemonFC The most popular thing to do at Walmart is anticipate the wait. The whole thing is designed to get people into the store. The oil changes aren't a major profit center. [01:11] DaemonFC So a lot of people drop their car off at Walmart and find something else to do. Like go there on Sunday and then have a friend take them to church and go eat out and come back for the car later.

[01:27] DaemonFC Matt Gulag. [01:28] DaemonFC Matt? [01:28] DaemonFC mjg59_: What do you think about the thousands of Microsoft-signed malware modules certified by the Windows Hardware Quality Lab? [01:28] DaemonFC Do you think they should be eligible for SECURE BOOT? [01:28] DaemonFC As part of the TRUSTED CHAIN? [01:30] MinceR why would his opinion on those be different from being locked into booting one of the least secure PC OS-es available today? [01:30] MinceR it's "secure" because you don't get to control what your own property does. [01:30] DaemonFC "Still, there are exceptions most notably, one for drivers signed with certificates that expired or were issued prior to July 29, 2015. If a newly compiled driver is signed with non-revoked certificates that were issued before that date, it won't be blocked. "As a result, multiple open source tools have been developed to exploit this loophole," Neal wrote. And while Sophos reported that it... [01:30] DaemonFC ...had uncovered more than 100 malicious drivers, Neal said Cisco Talos "has observed multiple threat actors taking advantage of the aforementioned Windows policy loophole to deploy thousands of malicious, signed drivers without submitting them to Microsoft for verification...."

But it worked out better in the end. :) [01:37] DaemonFC It's not clear whether the stolen Imperial shuttle itself was part of Palpatine's plan to draw the Rebel Alliance into the trap. He may have simply leaked out a bunch of bad information knowing they'd devise a way to get in. [01:37] DaemonFC Depends on whether Palpy is a micromanager. [01:37] DaemonFC Nobody likes a micromanager. [01:38] DaemonFC Given Vader being genuinely curious about the shuttle, it's likely Palpy didn't plan on this in particular. He would have probably informed Vader. [01:39] DaemonFC You hold back information from people you think could damage you with it somehow. [01:39] DaemonFC Palpy keep Vader pretty much fully informed about everything because he overestimated (as it turns out) his ability to control him. [01:39] DaemonFC Hence, "Your overconfidence is your weakness." [01:40] DaemonFC MinceR: Being a megalomaniac has its downsides I guess. [01:41] DaemonFC The Star Wars universe keeps getting more and more watered down, especially under Disney.

[01:43] DaemonFC The pod race was both the worst part of Episode 1 and one of the best video games. [01:44] DaemonFC Episode 1: Racer was a pretty good game on the Dreamcast at least. [01:44] DaemonFC The two things I would have cut from Episode 1 would be the pod race and the Mitichlorians thing. [01:45] DaemonFC Also, make the battle droids less ridiculous. [01:45] DaemonFC But that's something Lucas clearly did "for the children". [01:46] DaemonFC You feel like the pod race is something they threw in because they genuinely couldn't figure out how to get it to movie-length runtime and decided to break away to Space NASCAR. [01:47] DaemonFC I don't know why Jar-Jar was everyone's complaint about that movie. I could just about tolerate him.

[01:55] DaemonFC She used to run mismatched used car tires on her cars that she bought from some gas station with a garage attached to it. [01:55] DaemonFC That's a great way to have a car accident. [01:56] DaemonFC You don't know the age or history of each tire. They didn't even come off the same car, probably. They have wear patterns from whatever was wrong with the car and wheel they were one before. [01:56] DaemonFC *on [01:57] DaemonFC There was a case in Georgia where a guy bought four used tires for his van and then had a blowout and killed a man on a motorcycle.

[01:57] DaemonFC Because the state investigated and found that when the guy bought the tires, some of them were over 10 years old. [01:58] MinceR iirc the point of space nascar was to demonstrate that anakin is so powerful with the force it makes him fast enough to compete in a race where humans are supposed to be too slow [01:58] DaemonFC It doesn't matter what the tire looks like, if it's over 6 years old you should start to consider getting rid of it. [01:58] DaemonFC Even if all you can afford are the cheapest NEW tires. [01:59] DaemonFC If you decide to keep running them anyway, 10 years is sort of a "GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW" age.
