[01:03]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], That used honda with all the thousands of dollars of problems I found?
[01:03]	Isambard_Prince	The dealership logged an air filter change and raised the price $750.
[01:08]	Isambard_Prince	"Since I looked at the car, the dealership logged an air filter replacement on Tuesday 9/16 to Carfax and raised the price $750 to $11,884. Their car value tool went from saying that $11,134 was a "fair" deal to saying $11,884 is a "good" one."
[01:08]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Piyush Honda.
[01:08]	Isambard_Prince	:D
[01:10]	Isambard_Prince	Replace $10 air filter.
[01:10]	Isambard_Prince	Raises the price $750.
[01:10]	Isambard_Prince	Those air filters are basically the cheapest maintainence item on the entire vehicle and almost nobody does it.
[01:11]		*BrooksZhangHM has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[01:11]	Isambard_Prince	It's basically $10 and the dirtier and more clogged they get, the worse your acceleration and gas mileage get, until eventually the car either won't start or triggers a check engine light.
[01:11]		*BrooksZhangHM (~BrooksZha@user/BrooksZhang) has joined #techrights
[01:11]	Isambard_Prince	I've just been sitting in the shop over something else before and seen a lot of people come in with a code, or paying to have it towed in.
[01:12]	Isambard_Prince	And all that was wrong was a clogged air filter.
[01:12]	Isambard_Prince	Like, if you took it out and smacked the dirt that was on top and put it back in the car would at least start and get you down to Walmart.
[01:12]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[01:32]	Isambard_Prince	https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1nkodod/sure_thats_why_i_bought_a_fridge/
[01:32]	TR Bot	 sure that's why I bought a fridge : mildlyinfuriating
[01:34]	Isambard_Prince	Facebook appears to have blocked everyone who sued them under BIPA from ever having an account again.
[01:34]	Isambard_Prince	They recognize your face and say you violated their terms of service and you can't have an account.
[01:34]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], ^
[01:35]	Isambard_Prince	Then again they had to pay me over $700 so that's worth more than having a Facebook account.
[01:51]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I remember John worked at the hospital and they bought these $50,000 robots that brought meals and meds to the nurses.
[01:51]	Isambard_Prince	And one of them got on the elevator when an air ambulance crew landed and turned the key to bring the elevator to the roof.
[01:51]	Isambard_Prince	So this robot drives out and goes flying off the roof and crashes onto the ground.
[01:52]	Isambard_Prince	I wonder how much money they actually save on these stupid robots vs. hiring people at minimum wage. The robots don't just cost money, they wear out, they need servicing, they run on software. They put the hospital at the mercy of a vendor who might want to refuse service and just sell another robot.
[01:54]	MinceR	lol
[01:58]	Isambard_Prince	Plus, it's easy to ignore a robot.
[01:59]	Isambard_Prince	John said that meals would arrive, or meds, and the nurses would ignore the robots saying that they'd arrived.
[01:59]	Isambard_Prince	So you had a robot sitting there, or multiples sitting there, that you could not use, because they couldn't return to their station for another task until the nurses got around to doing something.
● Sep 19
[02:00]	Isambard_Prince	So all of a sudden you were paying for something that was sitting idle when there were more delivery runs to make.
[02:00]	Isambard_Prince	So then you have to budget in for all this idle time you didn't plan on, and buy more robots.
[02:00]	Isambard_Prince	And contracts.

[02:22]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, So the new cars are all like BMWs in some ways.
[02:22]	Isambard_Prince	Everything is on the same high speed fiber optic network.
[02:22]	Isambard_Prince	And the government is mandating this crap so that you can put the brakes and airbags and other stuff on the same network.
[02:23]	Isambard_Prince	So once you have that, you have the power windows and locks and stuff on it too and software to run all of it.
[02:24]		*Sompi (~sami@p2cft5p2epqeu.irc) has joined #techrights
[02:25]	MinceR	presumably the SOS bullshit is also on the same network or bus
[02:25]	MinceR	so that someone can contact your car via the cellular network and drive it into another car
[02:26]	Isambard_Prince	Oh people where I'm at don't need any help doing that.
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, These are the dumbest people I've ever seen.
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	Like half of them are illegals and they don't have any car insurance.
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	They get the car from wherever, under the table, don't title it or put a license plate on it.
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	When they hit you they just drive off.
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	So all the car insurance companies now say if you don't find the person who hit you, they ain't payin'.
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[02:32]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, You know you have to pay $100 a month for car insurance so that when someone hits you there's a 50% chance it pays something.
[02:33]	Isambard_Prince	Then it goes up and you say "But you agreed it was the other person's fault!"
[02:33]	Isambard_Prince	And they say, "Of course we did, but we never promised to be fair. We'll be.....COMPLETELY UNFAIR!"
[02:35]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Then of course the $100 a month is to insure a clunker.
[02:35]	Isambard_Prince	If you insure a brand new car it could be over $400 a month.
[02:35]	Isambard_Prince	Just for the insurance.
[02:37]	MinceR	sure, but if they want to use your car as a projectile to take out a particular other car, then they do need the "help" :>
[02:37]	MinceR	we also have mandatory responsibility insurance
[02:38]	MinceR	and the way that is regulated by the government is that when one of the insurers stole the money, the state made the insured drivers effectively uninsured
[02:38]	MinceR	but they still had to continue paying, of course
[02:38]	MinceR	and it was everyone's fault, except the government's

[02:54]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, The way ours works is it's mandatory but if you're an immigrant they dismiss it to keep you in the country after you broke the law.
[02:54]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[02:54]	MinceR	:>
[02:54]	Isambard_Prince	Also, if you're just a walking shitstain in general, they dismiss it as long as you have it when you get to court, then drop it.
[02:55]	Isambard_Prince	Then you can go back to shirking and potentially hitting someone and filing bankruptcy.
[02:56]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I'm white so if I drop my mandatory car insurance, the cop pulls me over, charges me with no insurance, no plates, I get to court, it doesn't matter what my excuse is, I go to jail, and owe $10,000 in fines.

[05:52]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], So basically free over the air television is dying in the United States.
[05:52]	Isambard_Prince	First they made it "digital" so that most people can't see it at all unless they live a few miles from a skyscraper that's broadcasting it in MPEG-2.
[05:53]	Isambard_Prince	Now they're going to this ATSC 3.0 shit where all existing TVs will be unable to interpret the signal and there will be DRM.
[05:53]	Isambard_Prince	You might be able to buy some sort of a decoder box for like half of what a new television costs.
[05:53]	Isambard_Prince	So that you can use a set that's over 10 years old, but otherwise works fine.
[05:54]	Isambard_Prince	When it was analog you used to be able to watch _something) it's just that it wouldn't be a perfect picture if you were far away but it still worked.
[05:55]	Isambard_Prince	Like I lived 40 miles from the transmitter for our local PBS and still got a signal, I just got like 80% picture and 20% snow.
[05:55]	Isambard_Prince	But it was watchable.
[05:55]	Isambard_Prince	Now you get these blips where you get TV then it freezes and blocks up and then you get nothing for several seconds.
[05:55]	Isambard_Prince	Over and over.
[05:55]	Isambard_Prince	And that's "digital".
[05:56]	Isambard_Prince	You know, because a car drives past outside and so no TV at all and by the time it works again there's another car.

[06:42]	Isambard_Prince	I just have a busted shoulder.
[06:43]	Isambard_Prince	I'd actually feel a lot more comfortable around a trans man than a trans woman.
[06:44]	Isambard_Prince	The male brain soaked in estrogen is a lot scarier, tbph.
[06:44]	Isambard_Prince	Men in general are scarier. But that just jumps the damned shark.
[06:45]	Isambard_Prince	Men tend to be more violent, more impulsive, more reckless.
[06:45]	Isambard_Prince	Everything in life is harder on men, including divorce.
[06:45]	Isambard_Prince	Divorced men are ten times more likely to commit suicide than men who are married or who have never been married.
[06:46]	Isambard_Prince	There's just not as much room for failure in the world for men.
[06:46]	Isambard_Prince	The hammer comes down. There is no safety net.
[06:46]	Isambard_Prince	The police and courts assume you're the bad guy.
[06:47]	Isambard_Prince	Women just keep on marrying and getting divorced, and women tend to get richer every time they do it.
[06:47]	Isambard_Prince	Because they suck the life savings out of another man and move on, like locusts.
[06:48]	Isambard_Prince	In between marriages, or even if they don't get married again, the woman finds the welfare office and takes the kids in there. Goes boo hoo and they give her government money, paid for by men collectively.
[06:48]	Isambard_Prince	Along with child support from the man she divorced, who struggles to pay his own bills.

[06:51]	Isambard_Prince	But from another angle it's flattering.
[06:54]	Isambard_Prince	Anyway, yeah, 41 is turning into a frightening age.

[07:18]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], For whatever reason, you cannot get good Chinese food for love or money here.
[07:18]	Isambard_Prince	It's just not possible.
[07:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	weird
[07:18]	Isambard_Prince	It's like, disgusting. It doesn't taste right, they leave it out too long.
[07:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	no chinese-owned places?
[07:19]	Isambard_Prince	Well, the closest GOOD Chinese restaurant I went to was all the way the fuck down in Pekin, Illinois.
[07:19]	Isambard_Prince	Which is almost five hours downstate.
[07:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	Pekin?
[07:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	a place called that?
[07:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	or an eatery

[07:21]	Isambard_Prince	Only about 30,000 people.
[07:21]	Isambard_Prince	Tazewell County is sparsely populated.
[07:21]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], They have a chain called "See Thru Chinese Kitchen" in Chicago.
[07:22]	Isambard_Prince	I don't know. It seems to be Chinese food meant for black people.
[07:22]	Isambard_Prince	Too salty.
[07:22]	Isambard_Prince	They seem to just fucking dump salt and MSGs in it.
[07:23]	Isambard_Prince	Salt and MSG are a cheap way to make bad food taste better.
[07:25]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I decided to make fun of the Honda dealer on Google.
[07:26]	Isambard_Prince	They replied saying they would like to talk to me.
[07:27]	Isambard_Prince	I went over the price of the car they were trying to sell me, that it was thousands of dollars over FMV for the state it was in, all the work my mechanic said it would need, the cost of that work, and that after I told them this they said that they'd "sell it to someone" and "struts just leak sometimes" and then on Tuesday, they loggged that they replaced an air filter on Carfax, and raised the price of the car $750.
[07:28]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Air filters are between $10 and $20 retail at Walmart, depends on what you drive.
[07:28]	Isambard_Prince	I picked up an entire SHELF of them for the Buick for $1 each on clearance.
[07:30]	Isambard_Prince	I mean for a buck you can just open it up and toss one in the dumpster every few months if you want.
[07:30]	Isambard_Prince	It'll never cost you that much money.
[07:31]	Isambard_Prince	They like to open the air filter housing while you get an oil change at those stealerships and say you need an air filter and those are $89.
[07:32]	TR News	"Thinking is expensive (consider how much sugar a human brain consumes); therefore, organisms may attempt to think as little as possible in order to save energy. Hence the risk of letting a chess engine play for you (while you instead need to internalize the game of chess, and use the chess engine only as a critic, not a crutch), among other such traps." gemini://thrig.me/blog/2025/09/19/thinking.gmi

[09:27]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], It'll be over $300 worth of stuff for a Raspberry Pi 500 with the monitor.
[09:27]	Isambard_Prince	Maybe $270 ish without the manual.
[09:32]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I should have listened to my psychiatrist about Mandy.
[09:33]	Isambard_Prince	I got had. He got US citizenship from me and now he doesn't want me. He's treated me badly through almost all of the marriage, and was just taking advantage of the fact that I was lonely and vulnerable.
[09:38]	Isambard_Prince	What happened to Charlie Kirk shouldn't have happened, but it is ironic that it happened to a man who called for political violence and then got some, and also to a man who said that children who are killed by lunatics with guns don't matter as much as the guns.
[09:38]	Isambard_Prince	Now we're in a phase where Trump the dictator is saying he'll suspend broadcast licenses for criticizing the president or saying something that the far-right doesn't like about Kirk, who was an asshole who in many ways did get what he had coming even if it should not have happened. This is not something that happens in a free country.
[09:39]	Isambard_Prince	There's no exception to the first amendment that says "except when you're talking about Trump or Charlie Kirk".
[09:39]	Isambard_Prince	But this is no longer a country based on laws.

[23:45]	MinceR	i'm no hardware expert, but even i know that short-circuiting an antenna interferes with its operation
[23:45]	admfubar	nope... nore keys on a keyboard
[23:45]	MinceR	lol
[23:45]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Considering buying a Pi 500. The exterminator said he'd just throw out that laptop if it's had German roaches in it.
[23:45]	MinceR	rather, fewer keys on a keyboard and a touchscreen strip next to them!
[23:46]	Isambard_Prince	I said yeah I really don't know how long you have to have it bagged up like that before it's not a risk anymore.
[23:46]	admfubar	or laying out traces on a circut board
[23:46]	MinceR	Isambard_Prince: what about roaches of other nationalities?
[23:46]	Isambard_Prince	Well, they call one of them the American roach, but really they came here on slave ships from Africa.
[23:46]	Isambard_Prince	So they were the second worst thing to come out of those.
[23:46]	MinceR	:>
[23:47]	MinceR	and naturally, the worst thing to come out of africa was: humans.
[23:47]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Not their best.
[23:47]	Isambard_Prince	They basically took all the neighbors they were having problems out of and sold them to slavers.
[23:47]	Isambard_Prince	So the blacks in America are the descendents of the worst people from Africa.
[23:48]	Isambard_Prince	That's why black people, as a group, don't behave like this, anywhere else.
[23:48]	MinceR	well, the best of humans are held back by the remaining billions
[23:48]	Isambard_Prince	They concentrated pure evil, the criminals, the insane, the loafers....
[23:48]	Isambard_Prince	And sold them off.
[23:48]	Isambard_Prince	It's like what Castro did with the Cubans in the 70s.
[23:48]	Isambard_Prince	Put them on a boat. We're stupid enough to take them.
[23:48]	Isambard_Prince	Just empty the prisons and the mental asylums.
[23:48]	Isambard_Prince	Give us the felons and the public masturbators.
[23:49]	Isambard_Prince	Not all Cubans are problems, but almost all the ones WE got are.
