[21:07] IsambardPrince Not whatever the hell the recent stuff is. [21:08] IsambardPrince Picard was the closest thing to watchable Star Trek there's been since Enterprise was canceled. [21:08] IsambardPrince And that's not saying much, and it's only because they boxed themselves in with essentially a continuation of The Next Generation. [21:08] IsambardPrince I think TNG would have been canceled soon had Gene Roddenberry not died. [21:09] IsambardPrince The first couple of seasons were basically going nowhere. There was even that episode where the WGA went on strike and they had to do an episode which consisted of Riker beaming down to a planet and getting stuck by some alien plant that led to a clipshow from other episodes. [21:10] IsambardPrince The first part of the first season was briefly interesting with Q and the Encounter at Farpoint. [21:10] IsambardPrince But then it sort of got stuck in the mud with only the occasional good episode. [21:11] IsambardPrince There were some, like that one where they got trapped on a planet where autonomous weapons had killed everyone and there was a hologram sending these things to attack them as a demonstration until they agreed to purchase some. [21:12] IsambardPrince It was a lampooning of the Reagan-era "peace through strength" doctrine where you had a 600 ship Navy and tons of weapons, but everything else was sent through the wood chipper and millions of Americans were dying of HIV/AIDS while the CDC was not funded. [21:12] IsambardPrince An era of shame for the entire country that wasn't surpassed until Donald Trump. [21:13] MinceR well yeah, if you kill everybody, peace is the result [21:13] IsambardPrince HIV/AIDS got so bad due to the neglect of the Reagan era that even the guy who played "The Predator" got AIDS and died, and because it was seen as a "gay disease" there was no medicine for him, even though he got it in a blood transfusion after a car accident. [21:14] IsambardPrince A child in Indiana named Ryan White got it and died, and his neighbors responded to a sick kid by trying to ban him from going to school and lighting their house on fire. [21:15] IsambardPrince Again, no medicine. The Republicans. 1,000 Points of Light and all that. Including Jerry Sandusky who was molesting kids and in the Epstein Files. The Republicans gave him a Presidential Medal of Freedom. [21:16] IsambardPrince The Presidential Medal of Freedom is regularly awarded to war criminals and people who are responsible for public health disasters, and pedophiles, especially in the era of Donald Trump. If somehow I was awarded one, I wouldn't accept it. I don't want to be in any list like that. [21:17] IsambardPrince The people who get that medal from Trump are the people you don't want to go too close to schools and public parks and daycares. They should be on THAT list.

I remember being very rattled in the early 2000s when they passed all of those fascist bills like the DHS and REAL ID. [21:26] IsambardPrince I wish that more states held to their principles and just told DHS to fuck right off and refused to issue REAL ID at all. [21:26] IsambardPrince Wyoming passed that law then chickened out and repealed it, and that was a rare case of a law I agreed with. [21:27] IsambardPrince In some bizarre coincidence, the government declares everyone who doesn't like being taxed so that all their money can be spent on things that hurt them "extremists".

[21:45] IsambardPrince It's not so good for your engine long term. [21:46] IsambardPrince Long term it craps up your injectors, intake valves, and combustion chamber with gunk and your car starts using about 4-5% more gas. [21:46] IsambardPrince And the stuff is so filthy you may eventually fail emissions because of it and have a mechanic's bill.

[21:48] IsambardPrince I try to use Top Tier gas and at that, I still chase every 5-6 full tank equivalents with a bottle of Techron or something. [21:50] IsambardPrince I occasionally do oil sludge flushes too. The last owner of this car didn't always do their oil changes on time. I noticed the first time I ran a flush a lot of gunk came out. You can look through the oil fill cap with a flashlight and verify that the metal in there looks cleaner. [21:51] IsambardPrince You want one that's going to clean, but not so aggressively that it just goes ahead and dislodges all of it and screws up the engine. Amsoil, Liqui Moly, and Valvoline all make good ones. [21:52] IsambardPrince I've seen people using crazy shit like kerosene or diesel or automatic transmission fluid in the crankcase, and that's just stupid. [21:52] IsambardPrince Sometimes it works, but those are the ones you hear about that dislodge everything in one go and sometimes cause a big problem. ● Mar 22 [22:01] *psydroid3 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.2.6 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/) [22:11] *TMF has quit (connection closed) ● Mar 22 [23:17] *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.)
