| schestowitz_bed2 | One way or another, the good articles should be made available for history to be preserved. I linked to thousands articles like these and if they're indexed by Google, then I can at least locate them by title/body strings. When there is no written record of past events, they can be denied and history can be rewritten by opportunists (or victors who brush out their victims out of existence, even out of memory). Evidence helps | Oct 09 05:33 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | refute a liar even hundreds of years after an event, so bad actions cannot be embellished and good actions or progress can be demonstrated. Yesterday I cited Linux Gizmos about 20 times, noting that Linux (sometimes GNU also) now dominates in devices (Android helps this and ARM facilitates this also). Linux Devices used to have some showcases that several years ago made a largely-maligned platform seem like the rising force which | Oct 09 05:33 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | is now somewhat of a de facto standard. Whether this helps digital liberation of some kind of not may not matter much; the matter of fact is, those who advocated Linux for devices won the argument, and their work that accompanied this important trend should be made accessible for all to view retroactively. Imagine what the world would be like if billions of embedded devices ran an underlying platform that's purely proprietary, | Oct 09 05:33 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | possibly back-doored, not open to outside contribution, monopolised by one company/board of directors etc. I guess we can never know because we now safely assume that kernel.org is what gets funnelled into a lot of chipsets. It impacts behaviour of programs (e.g. over users). I believe that there is a lot more to software than just code and when code is embedded or made immutable we just have to assume yet more power to the | Oct 09 05:33 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | developer/s over users. This power is abused more often than people realise, the NSA leaks for instance have shown. | Oct 09 05:33 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR, Is BMW there as bad as it is in the US? | Oct 09 14:28 |
| DaemonFC | Expensive, not really reliable, replacement parts cost a fortune. | Oct 09 14:29 |
| DaemonFC | I had a guy trying to sell me a BMW with 265,000 miles on it for like $4,000 a while back. | Oct 09 14:29 |
| DaemonFC | I told him I wouldn't pay that much for any car with that mileage. | Oct 09 14:29 |
| DaemonFC | I drove a Mercedes around once, but it was a 1985 model. :P | Oct 09 14:30 |
| DaemonFC | My mom had a friend whose dad died and she was rich, so she just started giving away anything she didn't want. | Oct 09 14:31 |
| DaemonFC | So I got that Mercedes. | Oct 09 14:31 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: afaik their cluelessness is globel | Oct 09 14:31 |
| MinceR | s/bel/bal/ | Oct 09 14:31 |
| MinceR | also it seems that they don't seem to be aware of the fact that humans tend to have feet | Oct 09 14:31 |
| MinceR | but then german vehicles not allowing for legs seems to be a general issue | Oct 09 14:32 |
| DaemonFC | I noticed that a lot of them have manual transmissions. | Oct 09 14:32 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know why anyone would want that. | Oct 09 14:32 |
| MinceR | i wouldn't | Oct 09 14:32 |
| DaemonFC | You pay that much for a car, you want it to have an auto. | Oct 09 14:32 |
| MinceR | but some people like to do extra work | Oct 09 14:32 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Chrysler had a hybrid transmission for a while. | Oct 09 14:32 |
| DaemonFC | I think some PT Cruisers have them. | Oct 09 14:32 |
| MinceR | robotized manual? | Oct 09 14:33 |
| MinceR | those are crap, afaik | Oct 09 14:33 |
| DaemonFC | It's a manual transmission but you don't have to press down on a clutch pedal when you go to shift. | Oct 09 14:33 |
| MinceR | especially if your engine is turbocharged | Oct 09 14:33 |
| DaemonFC | I think they called it an autostick. | Oct 09 14:33 |
| MinceR | a real automatic transmission would avoid losing charge | Oct 09 14:33 |
| DaemonFC | I was like "Why would anyone want that? | Oct 09 14:33 |
| MinceR | here most cars have manual transmission | Oct 09 14:33 |
| MinceR | it's a good thing that i learned how to use them | Oct 09 14:33 |
| DaemonFC | I never learned how to drive one. | Oct 09 14:34 |
| MinceR | but if it was up to me, i'd get an automatic | Oct 09 14:34 |
| DaemonFC | A company I used to work for sponsored me for a Class B CDL license. | Oct 09 14:35 |
| DaemonFC | But the truck they had me driving was an auto. | Oct 09 14:35 |
| DaemonFC | It's like parallel parking. I've done that once. | Oct 09 14:35 |
| MinceR | which is parallel parking? parking parallel to the road? | Oct 09 14:36 |
| DaemonFC | You had to show the driving instructor that you could do it, so I did, and right when I was parked, this woman in an SUV pulled in an inch behind me. | Oct 09 14:36 |
| MinceR | i've done that many times | Oct 09 14:36 |
| DaemonFC | So I rolled down the window and asked her to back up. | Oct 09 14:36 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 14:36 |
| MinceR | parking, not pulling in an inch behind someone | Oct 09 14:36 |
| MinceR | that's what my asshole neighbors do | Oct 09 14:36 |
| DaemonFC | We were trapped. I couldn't get the car out of the parking spot. | Oct 09 14:36 |
| DaemonFC | That's one reason I don't do that. | Oct 09 14:36 |
| DaemonFC | People pull in and box you in. | Oct 09 14:36 |
| MinceR | indeed | Oct 09 14:36 |
| MinceR | but in hungary, you don't get a lot of choice in parking slots | Oct 09 14:37 |
| MinceR | apparently these people believe that people just take their cars home in their pockets or something. | Oct 09 14:37 |
| DaemonFC | I couldn't imagine trying to parallel park a full size sedan like that Crown Vic. | Oct 09 14:37 |
| DaemonFC | That would be a nightmare. | Oct 09 14:37 |
| MinceR | i can see that | Oct 09 14:37 |
| MinceR | it's a pain enough with my Carina | Oct 09 14:37 |
| DaemonFC | The parking spots here are built for midsize sedans. | Oct 09 14:37 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 14:37 |
| DaemonFC | I got the guy down to $2,200. | Oct 09 14:38 |
| DaemonFC | He seemed hesitant, but I said "A stack of $20s." and then he said "Yeah, I can do that." | Oct 09 14:38 |
| DaemonFC | It's a bad economy. Used car prices have gone nuts, but some people just really need money right now. | Oct 09 14:39 |
| DaemonFC | So you can gain the upperhand in a negotiation, even today. | Oct 09 14:39 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, If this car was on a dealer's lot, they'd price it at about $3200-$3400. | Oct 09 14:40 |
| DaemonFC | That's why you don't buy used cars from a dealer, as a general rule. | Oct 09 14:40 |
| DaemonFC | You'll always end up on the higher end of the price range for what you're looking at. | Oct 09 14:40 |
| DaemonFC | The salesman wants his commission, and they have to build their costs of doing business into the vehicles. | Oct 09 14:41 |
| DaemonFC | So take whatever the car is worth private sale, and add 30-40%. | Oct 09 14:41 |
| DaemonFC | I asked one of those dealers what the "dealer reconditioning fee" of $120 was for. | Oct 09 14:41 |
| DaemonFC | He told me they gave it an oil change and washed it. | Oct 09 14:41 |
| DaemonFC | I told him "Oil change at Walmart: $26. Full service car wash: $10." | Oct 09 14:42 |
| DaemonFC | But that's how dealers do you. You get raped. | Oct 09 14:42 |
| DaemonFC | When I get back in town with that car, I'm going to take it through the full service wash. | Oct 09 14:43 |
| DaemonFC | Then I'm going to have them wax it too. | Oct 09 14:43 |
| DaemonFC | I thought that back bumper was scuffed, but the guy tells me it's just dirt. | Oct 09 14:43 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 14:43 |
| DaemonFC | Not that I wouldn't buy it either way. It's an old car for $2,200, you can't expect perfect. | Oct 09 14:43 |
| DaemonFC | The car I have now, both bumpers are broken, and there's rust eating into my rear passenger side quarter panel. | Oct 09 14:45 |
| DaemonFC | The car was having electrical problems and the dealer wanted too much to fix them, so I yanked a fuse, and now I have no radio or dome lights. | Oct 09 14:45 |
| DaemonFC | The interior is in rough shape. | Oct 09 14:45 |
| DaemonFC | Someone broke into my car and tried hotwiring it. | Oct 09 14:45 |
| DaemonFC | So the driver door latch is broken. | Oct 09 14:46 |
| DaemonFC | They got mad when they failed to hotwire it, and took a knife to some of the upholstery, then stole my CD collection and left. | Oct 09 14:46 |
| DaemonFC | fuckers | Oct 09 14:46 |
| DaemonFC | They're so glad I didn't see them doing that or they'd be dead. | Oct 09 14:46 |
| DaemonFC | Seriously. I would have shot them. | Oct 09 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, My uncle had his house broken into. I told him "They wouldn't need to worry about the police if it was my house. That's what the second amendment is good for." | Oct 09 14:48 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I was in Indianapolis back in 2002, and I was driving through the downtown area at night. | Oct 09 14:48 |
| DaemonFC | With my windows down. | Oct 09 14:48 |
| DaemonFC | All of a sudden, someone reached in with a knife and tried to carjack me. | Oct 09 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | So I hit the "auto-up" button for the window and got their arm caught in it. | Oct 09 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | They dropped the knife onto the floor of my car. | Oct 09 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | I punched the accelerator and dragged them about a block and then rolled down the window. | Oct 09 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | I still have their knife. | Oct 09 14:50 |
| DaemonFC | Parts of Fort Wayne have gotten that bad. | Oct 09 14:51 |
| DaemonFC | My line of thinking is that if you're in the middle of committing a crime against someone, you're kind of doing it at your own risk. | Oct 09 14:52 |

| iophk | All the Nobel prizes being awarded to the US for work that was in the pipes for years or decades. When the desert started by the Bush era hits, we'll probably see the awards going to EU and maybe China. The damage that is done now will have its worst affects long down the road. | Oct 09 15:17 |
| DaemonFC | Bush propped up the economy in some really reckless and unsustainable ways. | Oct 09 15:18 |
| DaemonFC | Like the insane military spending, the tax cuts, and letting the housing bubble run its entire course. | Oct 09 15:19 |
| iophk | Only parts of the economy. Other areas like research tanked. | Oct 09 15:19 |

| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 15:40 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 15:40 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, That was a $500 car! | Oct 09 15:40 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 15:40 |
| DaemonFC | Can you believe my luck? :) | Oct 09 15:40 |
| MinceR | you mean $1? | Oct 09 15:41 |
| DaemonFC | Well, if you go too low, some of them choose to get suspicious and calculate the "fair market value" of the car. | Oct 09 15:41 |
| DaemonFC | Then charge you that. | Oct 09 15:41 |
| DaemonFC | I've never had the problem before. | Oct 09 15:41 |
| DaemonFC | Anything beats paying them $150 in tax because you bought property. | Oct 09 15:43 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 15:44 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Stallman was right. | Oct 09 15:46 |
| DaemonFC | If the rich don't pay their tax, why should anyone? | Oct 09 15:46 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 15:46 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 15:49 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I went ahead and got a "Secure ID" last time I updated my license. | Oct 09 15:51 |
| DaemonFC | They're making it difficult to do things without one now. | Oct 09 15:51 |
| DaemonFC | I went to pull a copy of my birth certificate without one and they wouldn't give me it. | Oct 09 15:51 |
| DaemonFC | So I went rummaging through boxes and found the original. While I was at it, I decided to just go ahead and get the new driver's license. | Oct 09 15:52 |
| DaemonFC | http://www.in.gov/bmv/2356.htm | Oct 09 15:52 |
| TechrightsBot-tr | www.in.gov | BMV: SecureID Driver's License and ID Cards | Oct 09 15:52 |
| MinceR | damn, their site is slow | Oct 09 15:53 |
| MinceR | is this RFID? | Oct 09 15:53 |
| DaemonFC | It's "REAL ID" compliant. | Oct 09 15:54 |
| MinceR | and what's that? | Oct 09 15:55 |
| DaemonFC | Eventually you won't be able to get on a plane or enter a federal building without one. | Oct 09 15:55 |
| DaemonFC | It's a set of requirements that the federal government imposed on the states. | Oct 09 15:55 |
| DaemonFC | Makes you prove that you're really you and where you live before you can get one. You have to bring in a mountain of paperwork. | Oct 09 15:55 |
| DaemonFC | Birth certificate, social security card, an unexpired Indiana driver's license, three bills with your current address on it. | Oct 09 15:56 |
| DaemonFC | I think I even had to bring a copy of my lease. | Oct 09 15:56 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 15:56 |
| MinceR | but is it RFID? :> | Oct 09 15:56 |
| DaemonFC | The cards also have extra "security" features on them. | Oct 09 15:56 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah. It has an RFID chip in it. | Oct 09 15:56 |
| DaemonFC | As well as a barcode and magnetic strip on the back. | Oct 09 15:56 |
| DaemonFC | So if the RFID chip doesn't work, the cops can slide it or scan it and it will bring up your information on their computer in their police car. | Oct 09 15:57 |
| MinceR | they really went for the kitchen sink... | Oct 09 15:57 |
| DaemonFC | Oh yeah. | Oct 09 15:57 |
| MinceR | i got two "RFID blocking" wallets this week | Oct 09 15:57 |
| MinceR | they don't seem to work | Oct 09 15:57 |
| DaemonFC | Bars are also required to have them. | Oct 09 15:57 |
| MinceR | i put my entry card into them and i could read it through the wallet at the door | Oct 09 15:58 |
| DaemonFC | Before you can go in, they slide or scan the card, and the state will tell them if you're really old enough to enter. | Oct 09 15:58 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 15:58 |
| DaemonFC | It stops kids from using fake IDs. | Oct 09 15:58 |
| DaemonFC | I went into a county courthouse last year, and they slid my driver's license and told me that it was alright for me to enter. | Oct 09 15:58 |
| DaemonFC | I said "Well, it should be, seeing as how I paid for all of this and your salary." | Oct 09 15:59 |
| DaemonFC | The guy rolled his eyes at me. | Oct 09 15:59 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 09 15:59 |
| MinceR | did you catch his eyes? :> | Oct 09 15:59 |
| DaemonFC | :/ | Oct 09 15:59 |
| DaemonFC | Then the metal detector went off. | Oct 09 16:00 |
| DaemonFC | They made me stand there and get patted down. | Oct 09 16:00 |
| DaemonFC | Then they took a handheld scanner and went over me, and it turned out that what was setting it off was my belt buckle and the rivets in my jeans. | Oct 09 16:00 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 09 16:00 |
| DaemonFC | They're getting really nasty. | Oct 09 16:00 |
| DaemonFC | 20 years ago, you just walked right in. | Oct 09 16:00 |
| MinceR | how dare you wear riveted jeans | Oct 09 16:00 |
| MinceR | and a belt buckle of all things? :> | Oct 09 16:00 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, I know, right? :) | Oct 09 16:01 |
| DaemonFC | Are you in possession of anything that could harm another person? | Oct 09 16:01 |
| DaemonFC | Well, yeah, but so is everyone else. | Oct 09 16:01 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 16:01 |
| DaemonFC | "No." | Oct 09 16:01 |
| DaemonFC | Not like you're going to stand there and tell them how stupid that question is. | Oct 09 16:02 |
| MinceR | "fists, knees, elbows, legs..." | Oct 09 16:02 |
| DaemonFC | You can strangle someone with your belt. | Oct 09 16:02 |
| DaemonFC | or your hands | Oct 09 16:02 |
| DaemonFC | or you can punch them | Oct 09 16:02 |
| MinceR | "i can harm people's feelings using sarcasm" | Oct 09 16:02 |
| DaemonFC | or you can stab them in the neck with your ballpoint pen | Oct 09 16:02 |
| MinceR | or i could use profanity | Oct 09 16:02 |
| DaemonFC | you could headbutt someone | Oct 09 16:02 |
| DaemonFC | you could bite them | Oct 09 16:03 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 16:03 |
| MinceR | i could step on their foot | Oct 09 16:03 |
| DaemonFC | or kick them in the balls | Oct 09 16:03 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 16:03 |
| MinceR | or tear off their bandages with great force and speed | Oct 09 16:04 |
| DaemonFC | or do like Riddick did, and kill them with your teacup | Oct 09 16:04 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 16:04 |
| DaemonFC | "I can't quite pinch your carotid arteries shut using the power of my mind, yet, but I'll keep trying." | Oct 09 16:06 |
| MinceR | i can | Oct 09 16:07 |
| *DaemonFC needs to get ready to go see that car. | Oct 09 16:07 | |
| MinceR | i just need to funnel the power of my mind through my nerves to my hands | Oct 09 16:08 |
| DaemonFC | I like that color too. It's Ford's Toreador Red. | Oct 09 16:08 |
| DaemonFC | Unfortunately, red cars stand out more, so they get pulled over more. | Oct 09 16:08 |
| DaemonFC | I do have a radar detector though. | Oct 09 16:08 |
| DaemonFC | I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since I bought it. | Oct 09 16:08 |
| DaemonFC | I've had it since like 2002. | Oct 09 16:09 |
| DaemonFC | I got pulled over like three times in the course of 6 months, and kept getting warnings. | Oct 09 16:09 |
| DaemonFC | I decided a radar detector would be a good investment. | Oct 09 16:09 |
| DaemonFC | If they save you from one ticket, they've already more than paid for themselves. | Oct 09 16:09 |
| DaemonFC | The minimum fine for speeding in Indiana now is over $150. | Oct 09 16:09 |
| DaemonFC | If you're going 10 miles per hour over the posted limit in a construction or school zone, they can fine you up to $1,000. | Oct 09 16:10 |
| MinceR | i just read the police web site about where they're measuring | Oct 09 16:10 |
| MinceR | and tend to drive legally anyway | Oct 09 16:10 |
| DaemonFC | If you're going 15 miles an hour over, they can give you the $150 ticket, plus a $500 reckless driving ticket, plus 4 points on your license. | Oct 09 16:10 |
| DaemonFC | and if it's in a school or construction zone, each fine can be multiplied by four and they can take away your license for a year. | Oct 09 16:11 |
| DaemonFC | then you have to go to a remedial driving class at your expense, and pass it, before you can get your license back | Oct 09 16:11 |
| DaemonFC | then they make you carry an SR-22 for the next several years, which makes your insurance about triple what it used to be | Oct 09 16:12 |
| DaemonFC | ouch | Oct 09 16:12 |
| MinceR | what's an SR-22? | Oct 09 16:12 |
| DaemonFC | An SR-22 is a form from your insurance company that is proof of financial responsibility under a high risk car insurance policy | Oct 09 16:13 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 16:13 |
| DaemonFC | They usually make people carry them if they've had a DUI or too many speeding tickets. | Oct 09 16:13 |
| DaemonFC | Dawn had to carry one. | Oct 09 16:13 |
| MinceR | ic | Oct 09 16:13 |
| DaemonFC | She was paying $120 a month for state minimum car insurance. | Oct 09 16:13 |
| DaemonFC | I pay $24 a month for the same coverage. | Oct 09 16:13 |
| DaemonFC | They consider me low risk. | Oct 09 16:14 |
| DaemonFC | They don't know me very well. | Oct 09 16:14 |
| DaemonFC | If they saw what I've done to that poor Taurus, they wouldn't be charging me $24. | Oct 09 16:14 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 16:14 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 16:15 |
| DaemonFC | Although to be perfectly fair, the back bumper was destroyed because I hit black ice. | Oct 09 16:15 |
| DaemonFC | and the front bumper was from when my brakes failed and I hit a building. | Oct 09 16:15 |
| DaemonFC | But nobody saw that, so I was OK, other than the broken bumper. | Oct 09 16:15 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 16:15 |
| DaemonFC | I had just had the brakes inspected too. | Oct 09 16:16 |
| DaemonFC | They told me there was nothing wrong with them. | Oct 09 16:16 |
| DaemonFC | Well, other than the ABS master control that I never bothered to fix. | Oct 09 16:16 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 16:16 |
| DaemonFC | I think I'm just going to sell that electric bicycle. | Oct 09 16:17 |
| DaemonFC | The cost for the batteries has tripled since I bought it. | Oct 09 16:17 |
| DaemonFC | I need two replacements and I don't feel like spending $600 on that. | Oct 09 16:18 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 16:18 |
| DaemonFC | The whole reason I got it was because I figured I could save some gas on short trips around town. | Oct 09 16:18 |
| DaemonFC | and still be lazy and not like, you know, peddle or anything | Oct 09 16:18 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 16:18 |
| MinceR | so, what happened? | Oct 09 16:23 |
| DaemonFC | The sealed lead acid batteries are junk. | Oct 09 16:24 |
| DaemonFC | The lithium ion ones are over $300 each. | Oct 09 16:24 |
| DaemonFC | http://imagescdn.dealercarsearch.com/Media/6003/3391728/635127451381384468.jpg | Oct 09 16:24 |
| DaemonFC | hmmm | Oct 09 16:24 |
| DaemonFC | That one is in Ohio. | Oct 09 16:24 |
| *DaemonFC doesn't feel like driving to Ohio to buy a car though. | Oct 09 16:24 | |
| DaemonFC | Too much paperwork. | Oct 09 16:24 |
| MinceR | junk as in too low capacity? | Oct 09 16:25 |
| MinceR | or too heavy? | Oct 09 16:25 |
| MinceR | or dead? | Oct 09 16:26 |
| DaemonFC | too heavy and they don't last through too many charge cycles. | Oct 09 16:26 |
| MinceR | i'm surprised by the second | Oct 09 16:26 |
| MinceR | it seems to work well enough in cars :) | Oct 09 16:26 |
| DaemonFC | They say they last about 500 cycles. but I had one die already after less than 100 and the other one is only charging to about half | Oct 09 16:26 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I offered the guy $2,100, but he talked me up to $2,200. | Oct 09 16:35 |
| DaemonFC | He pointed out that he just put four brand new Michelin tires on it last year. | Oct 09 16:35 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, that's reasonable I guess. | Oct 09 16:36 |
| DaemonFC | Those probably set him back at least $600 | Oct 09 16:36 |
| DaemonFC | maybe more. | Oct 09 16:36 |
| DaemonFC | depends on the tire model | Oct 09 16:36 |
| DaemonFC | I'm going to ask him to transfer over the tire warranty to me. | Oct 09 16:36 |
| DaemonFC | Those suckers are expensive to replace. | Oct 09 16:37 |
| DaemonFC | I always got the cheapest set of Goodyear tires for the Taurus. | Oct 09 16:37 |
| DaemonFC | Seems like I always run over a nail or something while the tire is still good. | Oct 09 16:37 |
| DaemonFC | I don't really like the idea of getting the best set of tires and then running over a nail with those. | Oct 09 16:38 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 16:38 |
| DaemonFC | Goodyear has "fuel saver" tires now that they claim will increase your gas mileage by about 3%. | Oct 09 16:38 |
| DaemonFC | Independent tests show no change in fuel economy though. | Oct 09 16:38 |
| DaemonFC | Marketing bullshit. | Oct 09 16:38 |
| DaemonFC | Helps justify the added expense of the tires. | Oct 09 16:39 |
| DaemonFC | ohhh | Oct 09 16:41 |
| DaemonFC | good timing | Oct 09 16:41 |
| DaemonFC | free 6" Elmo's Italian sub. | Oct 09 16:41 |
| DaemonFC | I have to go buy Elmo's anyway on my way up to look at that car. | Oct 09 16:41 |
| DaemonFC | Might as well stop and get lunch. | Oct 09 16:41 |
| DaemonFC | Time to head on up there. | Oct 09 16:44 |
| DaemonFC | First one there with the cash gets the car. | Oct 09 16:44 |
| DaemonFC | Guy said he'd be back home at 1, so I have to get there. | Oct 09 16:44 |

| DaemonFC | We have a winner. | Oct 09 20:21 |
| DaemonFC | The 1996 Ford Crown Victoria LX. | Oct 09 20:21 |
| DaemonFC | That thing is in awesome shape. | Oct 09 20:21 |
| DaemonFC | The guy said he could drive it over here tomorrow and we could do the sale at the DMV offive here in town. | Oct 09 20:22 |
| DaemonFC | *office | Oct 09 20:22 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 20:22 |
| MinceR | how much? | Oct 09 20:22 |
| DaemonFC | $2,200 | Oct 09 20:22 |
| DaemonFC | It's got power everything and 94,600 miles on the odometer. | Oct 09 20:22 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 20:22 |
| DaemonFC | No rust at all., | Oct 09 20:22 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Other than a few small scratches that I can buff out, it looks like it came off the lot yesterday. | Oct 09 20:23 |
| DaemonFC | That's an incredible deal. | Oct 09 20:23 |
| DaemonFC | They wanted $2,500 up at City Auto Mall for that 2004 Crown Vic that someone beat to hell and back, and it had 130,000 miles on it. | Oct 09 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | And it was missing a chunk out of the front grill. | Oct 09 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | and the transmission wasn't looking too good | Oct 09 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | and there was an exhaust leak | Oct 09 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | and one of the ABS sensors was shot | Oct 09 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | and the blend door motor was going to need replaced | Oct 09 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | and the list just went on and on | Oct 09 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | This 1996 model is not only cheaper, there's less miles on it and it's just in all around better shape. | Oct 09 20:26 |
| DaemonFC | That's the difference between an owner that maintains their car and one that just lets it go. | Oct 09 20:26 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, And it has a brand new set of Michelin tires on it. | Oct 09 20:27 |
| DaemonFC | His mom just put them on last winter. | Oct 09 20:27 |
| DaemonFC | They have pretty much all the tread left. | Oct 09 20:27 |
| DaemonFC | and he said she only used Premium gasoline (even though the car doesn't need that) | Oct 09 20:27 |
| DaemonFC | she kept it in the garage | Oct 09 20:27 |
| DaemonFC | It's worth more than I'm getting it for, I think the guy just needs the money right now and he's letting it go for less because I have cash in hand. | Oct 09 20:28 |
| DaemonFC | If he wanted to wait for a while, he'd probably find someone that would pay $3,000 for it. | Oct 09 20:28 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, The only interior problems that I discovered were minor ones. | Oct 09 20:29 |
| DaemonFC | The radio won't turn off, but you can turn the volume all the way down. | Oct 09 20:29 |
| DaemonFC | and the rear driver's side door lock had a cap that his kid unscrewed and lost | Oct 09 20:29 |
| DaemonFC | I can probably get a replacement cap for a couple dollars, and I'm going to replace the radio deck with one that has a CD player anyway. :) | Oct 09 20:30 |
| DaemonFC | So, his mother only put an average of 5,255 miles on it each year. | Oct 09 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | That's an extremely low mileage. | Oct 09 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | I see '07s and '08s with 150,000+ on them. | Oct 09 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | all the time | Oct 09 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | people drive further to work than they used to | Oct 09 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | The economy is so bad now that driving 30 miles or more to work is common. | Oct 09 20:32 |
| DaemonFC | My mom's Impala has about 275,000 on it, and it's an '03 | Oct 09 20:32 |
| DaemonFC | I only put like two or three thousand miles on my car every year. | Oct 09 20:33 |
| DaemonFC | I just want a nicer car. | Oct 09 20:33 |
| DaemonFC | The Taurus is literally rotting. | Oct 09 20:33 |
| DaemonFC | I looked underneath the car today and I kind of wish I hadn't. | Oct 09 20:33 |
| DaemonFC | It's that bad. | Oct 09 20:33 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, That's exactly what I was looking for. A late model grandma car that was garaged, maintained, and driven to the grocery store and church and back into the garage. | Oct 09 20:34 |
| DaemonFC | You find those every so often. Where the car is like 20 years old, but low mileage and great shape. | Oct 09 20:34 |
| MinceR | i thought short trips didn't do good to cars | Oct 09 20:34 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not worried about this car. | Oct 09 20:34 |
| DaemonFC | Those Ford 4.6 liter modular V8s can take some serious punishment. | Oct 09 20:35 |
| DaemonFC | The police departments run them 24 hours a day and put 150,000 miles of chasing speeders and running over sidewalks and shit on them. | Oct 09 20:35 |
| DaemonFC | and when they get rid of them, they still run. | Oct 09 20:35 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 20:35 |
| DaemonFC | That's why taxi companies buy them. | Oct 09 20:36 |
| *DaemonFC needs to get better car insurance now. | Oct 09 20:36 | |
| DaemonFC | I'm going to do comprehensive and collision and double my liability coverage. | Oct 09 20:36 |
| DaemonFC | You just know that with my luck, the retards that the city has plowing the roads will run into it. | Oct 09 20:37 |
| DaemonFC | Or a tree will fall over on it. | Oct 09 20:37 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 20:37 |
| DaemonFC | At this point, I just have minimum coverage on the Taurus because I don't give a shit about it. | Oct 09 20:37 |
| DaemonFC | If a tree fell over on it, the insurance company might cut me a check for $900, and I've saved more than that by having minimum coverage since I've owned it. | Oct 09 20:38 |
| DaemonFC | but with this Crown Vic, they'd go NADA black book and probably give me $3500-4000 if it was totaled. | Oct 09 20:38 |
| DaemonFC | So it's worth buying more coverage. | Oct 09 20:39 |
| DaemonFC | That Taurus is in such bad shape, I'm surprised I haven't put my foot through the floor yet. | Oct 09 20:39 |
| DaemonFC | The owner before me lived in Michigan where they get REALLY harsh winters. | Oct 09 20:40 |
| DaemonFC | and it's obvious that he never bothered to wash the undercarriage | Oct 09 20:40 |
| DaemonFC | I think it's cumulative road salt damage. | Oct 09 20:40 |
| DaemonFC | There's no reversing it. | Oct 09 20:40 |
| iophk | salt quotas | Oct 09 20:40 |
| DaemonFC | This dude with the Crown Vic said his mom lived in Florida until a few years ago. | Oct 09 20:40 |
| DaemonFC | So it's never really been around any Indiana winters. | Oct 09 20:41 |
| DaemonFC | iophk, Yeah. | Oct 09 20:41 |
| DaemonFC | The city waits for a fucking blizzard and then shows up and salts at......4 PM, when the sun has already came out and melted most of it off anyway. | Oct 09 20:41 |
| MinceR | they could make the government obey the same rules they force on citizens | Oct 09 20:41 |
| DaemonFC | and then taxpayers have to pay them $15 an hour | Oct 09 20:41 |
| iophk | gotta salt the roads during the winter even if it is only raining | Oct 09 20:41 |
| DaemonFC | for ruining their cars | Oct 09 20:42 |
| MinceR | (no salt, only a more expensive but safer stuff) | Oct 09 20:42 |
| MinceR | (not sure what it's made of) | Oct 09 20:42 |
| DaemonFC | <MinceR> they could make the government obey the same rules they force on citizens | Oct 09 20:42 |
| DaemonFC | Hah. | Oct 09 20:42 |
| DaemonFC | HAHAHA!!! | Oct 09 20:42 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 09 20:42 |
| DaemonFC | BWAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! | Oct 09 20:42 |
| DaemonFC | that's a knee slapper | Oct 09 20:42 |
| MinceR | i know, it's called 'rule of law' | Oct 09 20:42 |
| MinceR | hungarians don't know about it | Oct 09 20:42 |
| DaemonFC | The goa'uld probably have better government than Indiana's. | Oct 09 20:42 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, We have laws, they just get selectively enforced. | Oct 09 20:43 |
| DaemonFC | and when they get enforced, they get enforced on some people more than others | Oct 09 20:43 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 20:43 |
| DaemonFC | It's like when Winston Smith realized that nothing was illegal because there were no longer any laws. | Oct 09 20:44 |
| MinceR | same here | Oct 09 20:44 |
| DaemonFC | They do whatever they want, to whoever they want, whenever they want to do it. | Oct 09 20:44 |
| MinceR | except for Winston Smith | Oct 09 20:44 |
| MinceR | everything is illegal | Oct 09 20:44 |
| MinceR | in a modern dictatorship | Oct 09 20:44 |
| MinceR | so they can lawfully have the police take anyone away if they want to | Oct 09 20:45 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Did you know that oral sex is a felony in Indiana? | Oct 09 20:45 |
| DaemonFC | Hasn't been enforced since the 1960s. | Oct 09 20:45 |
| MinceR | i didn't know | Oct 09 20:45 |
| DaemonFC | Hasn't been enforceable since 2003. | Oct 09 20:45 |
| DaemonFC | but they keep it on the books | Oct 09 20:45 |
| DaemonFC | It's a way of shaming people without really being able to do anything about it at all. | Oct 09 20:45 |
| DaemonFC | and then you find out that the Indiana General Assembly members are paying 18 year old male prostitutes they met off of Craigslist. | Oct 09 20:46 |
| MinceR | well, the hypocrite cultists would get their panties in a bunch if people wanted to take it off the books | Oct 09 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, there's people I want moral advice from. | Oct 09 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | "Suck my dick and I'll give you an ipad!" | Oct 09 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | seriously | Oct 09 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | That's who makes our laws. | Oct 09 20:46 |
| MinceR | (because only priests are allowed to get blowjobs, preferably from little boys) | Oct 09 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think there's anything I need to learn from them. | Oct 09 20:47 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think that it's an institution that deserves respect. | Oct 09 20:47 |
| DaemonFC | It's hypocritical and they need to be ridiculed at every possible opportunity. | Oct 09 20:47 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Did you hear what Indiana's General Assembly did last week? | Oct 09 20:48 |
| DaemonFC | They raised the tolls on the Indiana toll road (the one that goes to Chicago) and then passed another law that says that they get to use that road for free, whenever they want. | Oct 09 20:48 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 09 20:49 |
| MinceR | http://bbsimg.ngfiles.com/1/22344000/ngbbs4d35e657e7635.jpg | Oct 09 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | They dipped into the state's general fund to install a system that scans for devices they had installed in their personal vehicles. | Oct 09 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | and it automatically waves the toll for them and raises the gate!!! | Oct 09 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | and we're paying for this! | Oct 09 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, I could understand installing those devices into state-owned vehicles for cops and stuff. | Oct 09 20:51 |
| DaemonFC | as long as they were on official state business when they used the road | Oct 09 20:51 |
| DaemonFC | Several state senators (all Democrats) refused the devices and said it wasn't fair for them to not pay the same toll that everyone else did. | Oct 09 20:51 |
| DaemonFC | Those are the people that need re-elected. | Oct 09 20:52 |
| DaemonFC | Probably one out of every ten that's in there. | Oct 09 20:52 |
| DaemonFC | they've really let that road go too. | Oct 09 20:52 |
| DaemonFC | It used to be the best road in Indiana. | Oct 09 20:52 |
| DaemonFC | They repaved it about every year. | Oct 09 20:52 |
| DaemonFC | Now it's full of potholes. | Oct 09 20:53 |
| DaemonFC | I saw one that was so big that it could probably break an axle the last time I drove on that road. | Oct 09 20:53 |
| DaemonFC | They have the money to fix it. The road generates alot of revenue, but they don't fix it. | Oct 09 20:53 |
| DaemonFC | That all started when they privatized it. | Oct 09 20:53 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, The suspension in that Crown Vic is awesome. | Oct 09 20:58 |
| DaemonFC | Couldn't feel a single bump in the road. | Oct 09 20:58 |
| DaemonFC | My Taurus is so bad right now that when you get it up to 65, it feels like the car is going to shake itself apart. :P | Oct 09 20:58 |
| MinceR | :) | Oct 09 20:59 |

| MinceR | sounds like you might be better off with an SUV after all :> | Oct 09 20:59 |
| DaemonFC | The guy says it handles very well on the snow. I said I believe him because it's enormous and heavy. | Oct 09 20:59 |
| DaemonFC | Well, you should see the trunk on that Vic. | Oct 09 20:59 |
| DaemonFC | I'm 6'4 and about 170 pounds. | Oct 09 20:59 |
| DaemonFC | I actually got into the trunk. | Oct 09 21:00 |
| DaemonFC | There was probably room for three of me in there. | Oct 09 21:00 |
| DaemonFC | It's the perfect car to have if a friend needs you to dispose of some bodies. | Oct 09 21:00 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR, I've found my car. | Oct 09 21:01 |
| MinceR | "dude, where's my car?" | Oct 09 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | I was leaning towards maybe getting an SUV or a minivan, but this Crown Vic is just so awesome. | Oct 09 21:02 |
| DaemonFC | Plus all the used vans I came across were in really bad shape. | Oct 09 21:02 |
| DaemonFC | If you find a used van for under $4,000, it's either rusted out or has 200,000 miles on it. | Oct 09 21:02 |
| DaemonFC | So if I went for a van, I would have needed about $5,000 instead of $2,200. | Oct 09 21:02 |
| DaemonFC | :P | Oct 09 21:02 |
| DaemonFC | I'm sick of scrimping and saving. I'm not going to find a better car than this unless I save up like $6,000 or more, probably. | Oct 09 21:03 |
| DaemonFC | I don't feel like being miserable and going without for another year. | Oct 09 21:03 |
| MinceR | http://pics.nase-bohren.de/visited-washington.jpg | Oct 09 21:04 |
| DaemonFC | The car to price ratio on this is just about as good as it gets. | Oct 09 21:04 |

| DaemonFC | Well, we both came out with a good deal. | Oct 09 21:04 |
| DaemonFC | I get a totally badass car, and he gets a big stack of $20 bills. | Oct 09 21:04 |
| DaemonFC | You can get a much better deal with a private sale than a dealer. | Oct 09 21:05 |
| DaemonFC | If this car was at a dealer lot, it would be about $3,400 and then they'd stick you with a $120 "documentation fee". | Oct 09 21:06 |
| DaemonFC | They use those fees so that they can sneak in another $120 at the end of the sale. | Oct 09 21:06 |
| DaemonFC | Makes the cars look a little cheaper than they actually are. | Oct 09 21:06 |
| *iophk has quit (Quit: Leaving.) | Oct 09 21:06 | |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, There was a car dealership that my parents bought a couple of new vehicles from in the 90s. | Oct 09 21:07 |
| DaemonFC | They had a commercial "If you buy this stuffed bear at our price, you get the vehicle at no additional charge". | Oct 09 21:07 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 21:07 |
| DaemonFC | I guess it was supposed to be funny, but it was too close to the truth. | Oct 09 21:07 |
| DaemonFC | The dealers make you pay all kinds of stupid fees so they can price the cars lower. | Oct 09 21:08 |
| DaemonFC | You're really in for a raping if you buy new. | Oct 09 21:08 |
| DaemonFC | Not only does the vehicle lose 20% of the value right after you drive it off the lot, but they cram in that $120 documentation fee, *and* a $300 fee for driving it from the factory to their lot. | Oct 09 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 09 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | Don't they kind of have to do that anyway? | Oct 09 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | Isn't it just a cost of doing business? :D | Oct 09 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | They also have this thing called "Invoice pricing" where they say that there is no markup, you're buying it for what they got it for from the factory. | Oct 09 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | So you say "that makes no sense at all". | Oct 09 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | It does. | Oct 09 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | They sell you the vehicle at invoice, and then the company that made the car gives them a 20% "rebate". | Oct 09 21:11 |
| DaemonFC | The new car market is the worst it's ever been. | Oct 09 21:11 |
| DaemonFC | A new Ford Taurus for the 2014 model is $43,000 now. | Oct 09 21:11 |
| DaemonFC | Then since nobody can actually cough up $43,000, they finance it at high interest. | Oct 09 21:12 |
| DaemonFC | So you really pay like $60,000 when you're done. | Oct 09 21:12 |

| DaemonFC | That sub that I got on the way back was delicious. | Oct 09 21:13 |
| DaemonFC | I looking into the batch of coupons that came in the junk mail today and I found one for a free toasted italian sub at Elmo's. | Oct 09 21:13 |
| DaemonFC | So I took some potato chips with me and bought a fountain pop for a dollar. | Oct 09 21:14 |
| DaemonFC | This is turning into a really good day. | Oct 09 21:14 |

| DaemonFC | The last time I had the Taurus in the shop, they offered to replace the muffler. | Oct 09 21:28 |
| DaemonFC | I said "Have you....looked at the rest of the car? No thanks." | Oct 09 21:29 |
| DaemonFC | A new muffler would cost me more than the car is worth. | Oct 09 21:30 |
| DaemonFC | I've gotten to the point where just about anything I do to it approaches the value of the car. | Oct 09 21:30 |
| DaemonFC | So the exhaust comes out of the holes in the side instead of the tailpipe? | Oct 09 21:30 |
