[00:03] IsambardPrince With private insurance, everything is under "the same roof", so your prescription spending counts towards a unified deductible and maximum annual out of pocket. [00:04] IsambardPrince So if you fill prescriptions with GoodRX, you won't have that spending count towards the unified deductible and max out of pocket on your health insurance. [00:04] IsambardPrince So if you end up in the ER or having doctor's bills hit that same insurance, it's sometimes better to send your medication through even if it's more expensive than GoodRX. [00:04] IsambardPrince But for me it doesn't matter, because I'm on Medicare. [00:06] IsambardPrince Medicare Part D was designed by Republicans to make a lot of money for insurance companies, and still leave patients with large prescription costs. [00:07] IsambardPrince Rep. Billy Tauzin and a bunch of other Republicans who got it through Congress resigned and took cushy jobs as drug company lobbyists. [00:08] IsambardPrince The industry wrote the law, got a lot of taxpayer money, and rewarded corrupt politicians with high paying jobs later.

[01:03] IsambardPrince [01:03] IsambardPrince Like the site itself and most things the federal government does lately, it's easier to take if you just bend over, relax, and try to remember nothing goes on forever."

[01:19] IsambardPrince The only thing that's still there is one of the Chase cards. [01:21] IsambardPrince The KIA is also still there. [01:21] IsambardPrince Well, two negative accounts beats five I guess. [01:24] IsambardPrince "On your previous report, you had 5 accounts ever 30+ days latenow you have 2, which usually means you're making on-time payments and your derogatory mark fell off your report." [01:25] IsambardPrince "The percentage of your accounts always paid on time has increased by 14%." [01:26] IsambardPrince But getting those negative accounts off also contributed something negative. [01:26] IsambardPrince It lowered my average age of accounts by 10 months. [01:26] IsambardPrince But since they were negatives with late payments, charge off, and bk7, getting them off helped more than hurt. [01:27] IsambardPrince Yes, removing old derogatory accounts doesn't help your credit score as much as you think it will. [01:28] IsambardPrince If they're the oldest thing on your report (which usually happens during a bankruptcy), when they come off it will significantly de-age your credit report. [01:28] IsambardPrince But on the whole it's still better than having negative tradelines. ● May 24 [02:10] *Goblin (~use@ex2c5mqww8mw4.irc) has joined #techrights [02:11] *TMF has quit (connection closed) [02:46] TR News Yesterday's #boycottnovell-social and #techpol IRC logs ready.

[18:35] IsambardPrince [18:35] IsambardPrince According to the news articles I've been going over, it's going to affect conventional and semi-synthetic too, not just because owners will get desperate after 0w8, 0w16, and 0w20 get rationed and start improperly using 5w20, 0, 5, or 10w30, etc. but then also resort to improperly switching to lower grade oils meant for older cars that tolerate them. [18:35] IsambardPrince [18:35] IsambardPrince It's because Group II base stocks are also being diverted away from motor oil, because there's such a high price on diesel fuel now (a trucker I saw on Facebook paid almost $1500 the other day at Pilot!), so all that Group II is being routed away from cheap motor oils into Diesel so they can take advantage of the price gouging on diesel. [18:35] IsambardPrince [18:35] IsambardPrince I've already noticed that synthetic blends are saying "low stock" on Walmart and "available to ship in 1 or 2 days" on Amazon, which in reality means they keep telling you your order is delayed again until they actually get some.

I went to a doctor about a sinus infection, and Walmart's employee health insurance rejected it and said it was pre-existing, and that I had to pay to go to the doctor over a sinus infection and they wouldn't even [23:19] IsambardPrince count it towards my deductible. [23:19] IsambardPrince You want to go back to that? Just keep voting Republican. [23:23] IsambardPrince Trump has the economy so screwed up that gas is $5-6 a gallon and we're about to be out of most motor oils too for god knows how long. [23:23] IsambardPrince On FICO Forums, Bob Is The Oil Guy, and most other places, they're using "geopolitical events" as a euphemism for "Trump has completely f****d everything up." and if you say Trump, they ban you, but that's what "geopolitical events" mean. [23:23] IsambardPrince Everything in your life goes to crap if Republicans touch it. If they even touch it, it gets worse.

[23:51] IsambardPrince AutoZone used to be the place to go for car parts when you were dead broke. [23:52] IsambardPrince Now they have the same questionable parts for twice the price. [23:52] IsambardPrince Most of their stuff is pretty bad, especially sensors. [23:53] IsambardPrince Don't ever use "Duralast" sensors for things like the Mass Airflow, Manifold Absolute Pressure, or Crankshaft Position Sensor. [23:53] IsambardPrince They did have an AC Delco oil pressure switch though. [23:53] IsambardPrince That's Original Equipment. [23:53] IsambardPrince Very few things at AutoZone will still work shortly after you repair the car with them.
