Sat 22:06:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Regarding gas...
Sat 22:06:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I run the Buick on 15% ethanol usually.
Sat 22:07:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Right now there's a 37 cent per gallon discount at the station I use.
Sat 22:07:38 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So I save $6.29 per full tank of gas.
Sat 22:07:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Regular around here is 10% ethanol anyway.
Sat 22:09:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So vs. E10, you lose maybe 1% of your gas mileage to E15, but if you're saving 14% per gallon, then you're coming out way ahead even at that.
Sat 22:10:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It won't mess up your car. But I wouldn't go any higher on the Ethanol than that unless your car says "flex fuel" on it and the additional mpg loss is justifiable.
Sat 22:10:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Some stations sell odd blends like E35 or E50, not just E85.
Sat 22:11:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But the risk with high Ethanol blends is that it can damage your car or cause the computer to not know what the hell is going on and set a code, and you won't pass emissions because the car is running too clean and the computer thinks that it's an impossible reading.
Sat 22:13:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Ethanol can also attract moisture so you can end up with unacceptable pockets of water in the gas tank if you leave it sit there for too long.
Sat 22:14:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ At 37 cents a gallon discount, I'm willing to use E15. I don't like it but it's the cheapest, per mile, way to run the car.
Sat 22:14:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I have not figured out why those stations are selling the stuff so cheaply given that only an additional 5% of the total blend is ethanol, not gasoline.
Sat 22:15:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Politicians like to tout E15 as a way to save economically pinched drivers some money at the pump.
Sat 22:18:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Gasoline is some dirty stuff though, it doesn't burn cleanly. So if they're cutting back on the detergents to get the off brand gas to you cheaper, you might want to run a good fuel system cleaner every once in a while. Kia said if you're not using Top Tier gas to use a bottle of Techron every 5,000 miles.
Sat 22:43:38 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Firefox still hasn't fixed a bug where sites can tell you're in private mode.

Sat 22:47:07 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But with Hide Private Mode installed and enabled in private mode, it goes ahead and works, because Capital One checks for whether IndexedDB is available, but doesn't actually use it.
Sat 22:47:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ T-Mobile also does this and says paying your bill in Private Mode is not allowed.

Sat 22:52:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you cancel T-Mobile on a "free" phone plan, the rest of the phone's payments immediately become due and if you don't pay it, they send you to collections.

Sat 22:53:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They said he owed about $350 on his device and the rest was service, and if he didn't pay it all by January 15th, they'd turn it over for collections.
Sat 22:54:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And I was like "How is it possible to owe about $900 in service charges before they cut you off?
Sat 22:54:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're trying to keep going so they can sell the debt to another company at an amount that's worth pursuing
Sat 22:54:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So they deliberately don't cut off your service for a while.
Sat 22:54:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Because what will happen is they keep you hooked up for 6 months while they destroy your credit.
Sat 22:55:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then they sell the debt for 50-60% of face value, and they still make money even though you didn't pay.
Sat 22:57:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, That's how credit card companies always win too.
Sat 22:57:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They charge so much interest and fees before the account "charges off" that even when they sell it for a discount, they recoup most of what you actually spent.

Sat 23:38:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ She told me that oddly enough while you couldn't get outside because the snow was higher than the door, the power never did go out.

Sat 23:39:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ 52 inches of snow fell in Muskegon, Michigan.
Sat 23:41:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm just glad that I am where I am.
Sat 23:41:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ We're only getting an inch of snow.
Sat 23:42:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Which is basically just a dusting compared to most of Indiana.
Sat 23:43:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Interesting. Most of Indiana will get hit with about the same amount of snow as the 1978 blizzard.

Sun 00:48:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "n addition to the roads becoming impassable, motorists had to deal with vehicles breaking down due to the combination of very cold temperatures, very high winds and blowing snow."
Sun 00:48:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Yeah, my car really doesn't like being started at -10 F.
Sun 00:49:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm starting to wish I used 0w30 last oil change instead of 5w30.
Sun 00:50:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The owner's manual says 0w30 can be used if you're dealing with temperatures this cold, but since they usually only happen one or two days out of the year I normally don't bother.
Sun 01:18:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, I was making fun of Credit One Bank.
Sun 01:18:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I said a bank so nasty your bankrupt friends will laugh at you for having their cards.
Sun 01:18:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And "They'll approve anyone with a pulse, for a $200 credit line and $150 in annual fees.
Sun 01:43:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2] put it as I had received a "pardon" from the state. But what I received was better than a pardon.
Sun 01:43:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ A pardon is simply a document that says the state forgives you. It makes you immediately eligible for an expungement, which means that the public can no longer see what happened.
Sun 01:44:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's the expungement that matters, because it means that in the eyes of the law, it never happened.
Sun 01:44:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But a pardon isn't the only way to get to an expungement. They ruled that I could have one even though I had never been pardoned.
Sun 01:44:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And I don't really care if the state does forgive me. I'd really just rather have their boot on my neck a little bit less, which is what I got.
Sun 01:45:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, ^
Sun 01:45:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ America itself has become an open air prison anyway, for most people.
Sun 01:45:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's actually worse in some ways to not be in prison than it is to be in prison.
Sun 01:45:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 01:45:52 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ most of the planet is an open air prison at this point
Sun 01:46:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and the devil apes love it!
Sun 01:46:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ In prison, they at least have to give you a bed to sleep in, you won't freeze, there's food, and they are obligated to give you medical attention.
Sun 01:46:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Also, college becomes free once you're in prison.
Sun 01:46:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ People who haven't done anything wrong don't get any of that.
Sun 01:47:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ A right-minded person would look at this fucking crap and, well, they interviewed prisoners and they said that if they had affordable housing, medicine, and free college on the outside, they probably never would have gone to prison.
Sun 01:48:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ My parents act like resorting to dealing drugs and prostitution are something you do for fun, because in their false narrative, there's absolutely nothing wrong with our country, jobs are plentiful, and people "just don't want to work".
Sun 01:49:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Nobody turns to prostitution and drugs and living in a cheap motel because the country is doing great.
Sun 01:52:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Goldman Sachs had so many people resigning to work at other banks that they were having difficulty keeping the Apple Card running.
Sun 01:53:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So they had to come out and promise that everyone who stayed until the last day before the Chase transition would receive a severance check equal to their entire 2023 salary.
Sun 01:53:07 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 25 024626 < Isambard_Prince> People who haven't done anything wrong don't get any of that.
Sun 01:53:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, sometimes they do
Sun 01:53:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ > people "just don't want to work".
Sun 01:54:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe it's like it is here: people really just don't want to work, but they do want to have a salary
Sun 01:54:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ afaict many of them pull it off

Sun 02:08:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ My mom throughout her life said she "Doesn't want to go in today." and complained endlessly about the hospital.
Sun 02:08:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Or about bosses in general.
Sun 02:08:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Or about having to wake up at 6 AM.
Sun 02:08:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Now that she's retired and doesn't need a job, it wasn't her that was lazy, it's everyone else that's fucking lazy!

Sun 02:15:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ An unarmed man was brutally murdered by ICE, and all the New York Times cares about is that it might delay a spending bill.
Sun 02:16:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The only spending bill it affects is the DHS.
Sun 02:16:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Which should not exist anyway.
Sun 02:17:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It will not affect anything else, including air traffic controllers which are the FAA, and it will not affect the TSA because they're funded by user fees at the airport, in fact, Kristi Noem herself accidentally added to their self-funding when she imposed a new set of fees on flyers without "REAL ID" driver's licenses.
Sun 02:20:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's another reason I don't fly. It involves giving the Department of Reichstag Security money.
Sun 02:22:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, The Republicans will continue to damage the country greatly even if they lose the House this year, even if they somehow lost the Senate too.
Sun 02:22:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they're not republicans though
Sun 02:22:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They've gotten as good as the Nazis were at continuing to govern no matter how many seats they got.
Sun 02:22:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ republicans don't abolish republics
