Thu 06:53:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I became pretty dehydrated last night from one more round of not knowing which end of my body to direct at the toilet, and night sweats.
Thu 06:53:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But a day of rehydrating and a good dinner seems to have fixed that.
Thu 06:54:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I haven't vomited like that since 1996 when it looked like Bishop getting stabbed by the Alien queen in the back of my dad's car after he wouldn't pull over.
Thu 06:54:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, ^
Thu 06:54:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was white vomit with chunks going everywhere.
Thu 06:54:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Just spewing out of my mouth.
Thu 06:55:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Never did get the smell out. Could still smell it ten years later when I had the car even though it had been detailed.
Thu 06:56:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It smelled pretty putrid. Stomach acid and buffet food that didn't agree with me.
Thu 06:58:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Generally in the 90s, buffet food was pretty good even if it was cheap and all you can eat. I don't really know what happened, but all the good ones like Sirloin Stockade and Ryan's are gone.
Thu 07:02:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Norovirus is some nasty shit, man. I have never had something like this.
Thu 07:03:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had to get on UberEats and order various stuff, including lemon ice gatorade so I could sit there sipping on something that had electrolytes.
Thu 07:03:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, It's what plants crave!

Fri 00:26:57 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ of course, customers have to be pretty damn stupid to pick a car over slightly less frequent oil changes
Fri 00:27:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but then that's what humans are, usually
Fri 00:27:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's slightly better than the synthetic oils they sell here, but you'll still get contamination and fuel dilution.
Fri 00:27:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So you need to drain it more often than they say.
Fri 00:27:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i mean, manufacturers were competing at this for no good reason
Fri 00:27:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Contamination, dilution, and shearing.
Fri 00:28:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's before you even talk about depletion of the additives package.
Fri 00:28:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then if you use bad oil filters, contamination will happen faster.
Fri 00:28:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (metal shavings, soot, dirt)
Fri 00:29:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ looks like this trend isn't even specific to europe
Fri 00:29:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not.
Fri 00:29:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some GM Oil Life Monitors suggested 6,000-10,000 miles.
Fri 00:29:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then it turned out there was so much oil consumption from their "active fuel management" that the engine would run dry and burn up.
Fri 00:30:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they "fixed it" by reprogramming the OLM to come on every 3,000 miles.
Fri 00:30:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So there'd be enough oil in the system that the engine doesn't burn up.
Fri 00:30:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Fri 00:31:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Active Fuel Management basically disables cylinders at speed.
Fri 00:31:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So your V8 might turn into a V6 or a V4.
Fri 00:31:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i wish i had a V8
Fri 00:31:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But then what happens is oil makes it past the pistons and you're leaking oil.
Fri 00:31:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i have an I4
Fri 00:31:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they sell Active Fuel Management bypass devices.
Fri 00:32:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You plud them in the OBD port and they tell the computer they're a diagnostic tool and to turn off AFM.
Fri 00:32:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, My grandmother had AFM on her Cadillac.
Fri 00:32:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She added a quart of oil every week.
Fri 00:32:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ keeping random shit plugged into the OBD can also cause problems, afaik
Fri 00:32:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because that's what the guy at GM said to do with it.
Fri 00:33:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Amazingly it ran fine for 17 years like that until she lost her mind and ran into someone's van.
Fri 00:33:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 00:33:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's like a 2-stroke engine at that point
Fri 00:33:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ you just feed it a mix of gas and oil
Fri 00:40:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, East German Trabants did that.
Fri 00:40:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They had no fuel gauge too.
Fri 00:40:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah
Fri 00:40:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You just had to kind of guess when to put gas in them I guess.
Fri 00:40:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like a lawnmower.
Fri 00:41:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it had a dipstick
Fri 00:41:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but you had to open the hood and the fuel tank to look at it
Fri 00:42:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (yeah, i bet it felt super safe to refuel right next to the hot engine...)
Fri 00:43:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ naturally, on the side that's further from the edge of the alleged car and closer to the alleged engine >> https://www.reddit.com/r/Trabant/comments/vz5jph/i_just_bought_an_88_trabant_and_i_was_wondering/
Fri 00:45:52 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ looks like it wasn't always there... >> https://www.route59.be/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/DSC02827-HDR-279-1200x800.jpg
Fri 00:47:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, It was so bad it got better when they changed to a VW engine
Fri 00:48:01 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 00:48:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ These are the people who almost conquered three continents.
Fri 00:49:08 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Fri 00:49:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I had to do more stuff to my car this week.
Fri 00:49:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ wait till you see what the people who are about to conquer all of them are like.
Fri 00:49:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But at least things are straightforward to reach with simple hand tools usually.
Fri 00:49:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (bug people and their orcish clients)
Fri 00:50:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Russians happened to be sitting on a lot of Soviet era military hardware they inherited and mostly had mothballed.
Fri 00:50:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Their ability to produce modern munitions is almost comical.
Fri 00:51:00 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they also have tens of millions of slaves whose lives are absolutely worthless to them
Fri 00:51:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ possibly of negative value
Fri 00:51:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So does the US.
Fri 00:51:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 00:51:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But our military hardware is about 30 years ahead of the Russians.
Fri 00:51:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ so, has nazi america given up on the idea of a highly trained professional military force?
Fri 00:52:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, No, they're still highly trained.
Fri 00:52:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that makes them expensive
Fri 00:52:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ unlike the orcs
Fri 00:52:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Our ground troops are meant to go in and survive.
Fri 00:52:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sometimes they don't.
Fri 00:52:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ orcs aren't meant to survie
Fri 00:52:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But we don't throw them in there expecting to lose all and just send more.
Fri 00:52:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ s/vie/vive/
Fri 00:52:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ though i suspect most of them don't know this
Fri 00:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When a US soldier is wounded they sometimes get millions of dollars of healthcare.
Fri 00:53:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Including the most advanced prosthetics if they lose limbs.
Fri 00:53:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe they accept the deal of "go to the front, die and (maybe) we'll give your surviving relatives a bunch of (worthless) money"
Fri 00:54:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, "It sounded like a lot of money last week when it was worth 4 times as much."
Fri 00:54:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ ;:)
Fri 00:54:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 00:55:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and then there are the north korean grunts who are apparently even less valuable
Fri 00:55:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ iirc they were often used as drone bait
Fri 00:55:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Russian soldiers complained that the North Koreans were getting better medical care and weapons.
Fri 01:00:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Apparently some guy drove a truck into a synagogue in Michigan and even though nobody but him got hurt, like all the police in America are there because it's Jews.
Fri 01:01:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 01:05:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, My Ignition Control Module was failing in a rather specific way.
Fri 01:05:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was running cylinders 1 and 4 wrong, but only for about 30-40 seconds when the car started.
Fri 01:06:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It would clear up when it got warm and wouldn't do it again unless the car sat out all night.
Fri 01:06:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I replaced it fast.
Fri 01:07:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's no telling that it was running the cylinders correctly even when warm, just not poorly enough to trigger a misfire count.
Fri 01:07:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And if it's beginning to fail, it will get worse.
Fri 01:08:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I swapped out the contaminated plugs. I only bought a pack of 2 even though it's a 6 cylinder engine because I just changed all of them last year.
Fri 01:08:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Poured a bottle of Chevron Techron in the gas tank and running down that tank right now.
Fri 01:10:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Techron was originally developed to deal with carbon fouling of BMW intake valves.
Fri 01:10:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They still sell it in the parts dept there.
Fri 01:16:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, They mark it up about 4 times over what you can buy it for at Walmart.
Fri 01:16:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then they call it BMW fuel system cleaner.
Fri 01:17:01 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 01:17:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you consistently buy fuel from stations in the Top Tier detergent gasoline brand, they all have at least 3x the EPA minimum detergents.
Fri 01:17:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So carbon fouling should never be a problem.
Fri 01:18:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if you have port injection
Fri 01:18:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or no injection
Fri 01:18:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have a Top Tier + standard now for GDI.
Fri 01:18:33 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that isn't going to get the fuel to the intake valves, though
Fri 01:18:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But that's very new and I have not seen any stations compliant with + yet.
Fri 01:19:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'd pull over and use a Top Tier + station if I knew of any.
Fri 01:19:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Adding detergents is very cheap when they're buying them in bulk to blend directly into the gas.
Fri 01:20:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'ts like maybe a gallon of detergent to an entire tanker truck of gasoline.

Fri 23:00:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], The US used to be reasonably free.
Fri 23:01:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Until the early 2000s, most citizens didn't interact with the federal government very much.
Fri 23:01:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The states and cities were in control for the most part, for day to day things.
Fri 23:01:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then federal overreach into everything from transportation into basic ID cards happened.
Fri 23:02:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The federal system was working mostly as intended. The feds were in charge of foreign policy, war, currency, interstate commerce regulation, and crimes like terrorism, kidnapping, bank robbery, stuff like that.
Fri 23:02:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You had to be a really bad person to get any attention from federal law enforcement.
Fri 23:03:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now it's cheap to just surveil everyone every time they pass by a camera, so it puts cameras everywhere.
Fri 23:03:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They want to know what you're doing every day, even if you're nobody.
Fri 23:03:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They didn't have this much surveillance on the mafia in the 1980s, as they do now on a single mom driving a clunker to work at Dollar General.
Fri 23:04:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Governments that are collapsing or are unpopular become this concerned about internal security.
Fri 23:04:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They call it "homeland security".
Fri 23:06:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The government wasn't deeply unpopular back then.
Fri 23:07:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ People had arguments over politics, but people figured, hey, just put in my time at work, I turn 65 I get Social Security.
Fri 23:07:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then it was 66, 67, 68.
Fri 23:07:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now they're talking about "saving" it again by stealing another two years. If you ever make it to 70.
