DaemonFCYeah, my main use for the Impala is drive Mandy to work and grab food at where he works.Jul 31 01:26
DaemonFCSo I don't put many miles on the car.Jul 31 01:26
DaemonFCIf we go somewhere in Illinois and it's no further than half the state down, I usually take Metra and the CTA and Pace.Jul 31 01:27
DaemonFCSo I only put about 400-500 miles a month on the car, normally.Jul 31 01:27

DaemonFC$37-39 on a month where I just use the car to take Mandy to work and grocery shop, and then over there, the next cheapest is like $90-100 for Geico or Progressive. Every month.Jul 31 01:28
DaemonFCSo even if I have a high month because we got out and saw mom over in Indiana or we went downstate for some reason, it's not going to average out higher than the flat rate companies.Jul 31 01:28

DaemonFCI'd never pay more than $40-50 for liability coverage, ever.Jul 31 01:30
DaemonFCWith some companies and in some states, going from excellent to bad credit can more than double your car insurance premiums.Jul 31 01:31
DaemonFCGeico sent me a "Fair Credit Reporting Act" notice that said "Factors" from a credit report were the reason I didn't get their best rate possible.Jul 31 01:32

DaemonFCI looked at apartment listings the other day in California, and in the bay area, they do things like list a small apartment for $1,500 and then you find out that this is if you can find 3 other people to be roommates with.Jul 31 11:25
DaemonFCOf course, there's lots of problems with having roommates, not the least of which is they can move out and break the lease and the total rent must then be paid by the remaining tenants, who are jointly responsble for the entire amount.Jul 31 11:26
DaemonFCThe landlord can sue them, you can sue them, but you probably won't. More can be done to compel the people who are actually still living there.Jul 31 11:27

DaemonFCMinceR, Lake County recently moved to get rid of a "mosquito abatement district" because it would "reduce inefficiency". Then I noticed something amusing.Jul 31 12:59
DaemonFCThe district overtaxed residents for years and had accumulated about a million dollars in unspent funds that were sitting in a bank account. :)Jul 31 12:59
DaemonFCIn the mean time, it owns no equipment and has nobody on the payroll because it contracted with private companies to spray for the mosquitoes, which is honestly probably not even being done.Jul 31 13:00

MinceR:>Jul 31 13:01
DaemonFCSo it seems like a pretty easy score to just get rid of the district, keep the contracts, take the million bucks, and then keep the mosquito tax unchanged so that it keeps providing a "surplus" and they can say they didn't raise anyone's taxes.Jul 31 13:02
DaemonFCWhich will technically be true.Jul 31 13:02
DaemonFCIn fact, they say that spraying for mosquitoes is harmful to the environment and we should do it less.Jul 31 13:02

*alextee has quit (connection closed)Jul 31 17:56
XRevan86They just need a web thing, because it's no longer possible to register from IRC without already having an account, and, from what I see, it's integrated into all these new glorious services like IRC.com Remotes.Jul 31 17:56
XRevan86(or 3 days ago?)Jul 31 17:58
CrystalMathalso if you register over IRC, you will be on irc.com as wellJul 31 17:59

XRevan86CrystalMath: Right. These choices are peculiar. It feels like the freenode branding is becoming redundant.Jul 31 18:01
XRevan86as IRC.com is the base for the SSO, and all the new fluff is there tooJul 31 18:01

XRevan86And, because the freenode branding is ruined, rebranding is a good business decision anyway.Jul 31 18:08

DaemonFC(Including Android devices, and Chrome OS, which is a Gentoo-based Linux distribution which can run containerized desktop Linux applications in the Linux environment. As well as various desktop Linux distributions.)Jul 31 20:56
DaemonFCIf you include tablets and phones in the consumer sector, Microsoft's usage share is in the 40% range and if you only include desktops and laptops, their share is in the 70s. A steep drop from the 94%+ they enjoyed just a decade ago and just in time for another incompatible disaster, they've labeled Windows "11" because Apple called theirs "11".Jul 31 20:56
