| schestowitz_TR2 | and that's the repputation westerners get there | Jun 02 01:09 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, No, it's mainly white people from English-speaking countries from what I've heard. | Jun 02 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | The US criminalized sex tourism, but only when it involves someone underage. | Jun 02 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | And it's like, difficult to prove. Right? You go to a corrupt third world country where nobody cares. The only way you maybe get caught is if you video tape yourself and put it online or something. | Jun 02 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | They can barely keep track of what goes on HERE. | Jun 02 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | So Gates has the perfect cover story. | Jun 02 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | He's going there to check up on his "philanthropic efforts". | Jun 02 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | Some pervert kidnapped Mandy in the Philippines when he was young, but it was a local. | Jun 02 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | The police caught the guy and he went to jail or something. | Jun 02 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | I'd have killed him. | Jun 02 01:13 |
| DaemonFC | I would have straight up blacked out and killed the guy. | Jun 02 01:13 |
| DaemonFC | If that had been my kid, the only thing the police would find of that son of a bitch would be on the bottom of my shoes. | Jun 02 01:13 |
| DaemonFC | I think we should raise money for child sex victims by selling hunting licenses to people who want to shoot someone on the sex offender registry. | Jun 02 01:14 |
| DaemonFC | There's a lot of angry people with guns. Let them do something productive with them. | Jun 02 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | Plus it raises money. | Jun 02 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | And as for the judges who go easy on them, hang them. | Jun 02 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | That would be ideal. | Jun 02 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | It's garbage day, motherfuckers! | Jun 02 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | But we can't do that because the criminals and the corrupt judges have more rights than anyone halfway decent does. | Jun 02 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | They have the public so brainwashed that there's actual buy-in to this system or at least tolerance of it. | Jun 02 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | It's absolutely disgusting that people tolerate this from the government. | Jun 02 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | The Democrats seem to want all criminals released so that they have someone to vote for them. | Jun 02 01:18 |
| DaemonFC | That seems to be their plan. Use criminals for vote mining and to depress real estate (while gentrification companies buy it up because nobodu can live in that neighborhood). | Jun 02 01:18 |
| DaemonFC | Then they start "crackdowns" once the rich own the neighborhood, and drive the criminals out with the crackdowns and tripling of rents. | Jun 02 01:19 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, Here's an interesting measure of inflation. | Jun 02 01:22 |
| DaemonFC | In 2012, the cheaper end of a 20" box fan at Walmart was $13.88. The same box fan is now $24.88. | Jun 02 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | So those have about doubled in 10 years. | Jun 02 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | I haven't found a single thing that indicates "2-3%" inflation. Whatever the government admits to, double or triple it and you'll be much closer. | Jun 02 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | One thing that dinosaur air conditioner does do pretty well is get humidity under control in here. I've found that on days where it's not that hot, or at night, I can just turn off the air conditioner. After a while, the dehumidifier, which has idled itself because it's in comfort mode, realizes the humidity is going up, and turns on. | Jun 02 01:24 |
| DaemonFC | So at night time when it gets a lot cooler anyway, that can take over and prevent the humidity from rising. | Jun 02 01:25 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, So, I don't know why rust repairing a car that was on the lower end of the price range but in decent mechanical shape overall was a bad move. Mom took the Impala to some hillbilly in 2007 and it didn't start rusting through again for like 12 more years. | Jun 02 01:30 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tuxmachines.org | Federico Mena-Quintero: Accessibility repositories are now merged | Tux Machines | Jun 02 01:31 | |
| DaemonFC | Getting it off and then patch and paint will slow things down a lot, even if it doesn't stop it completely. | Jun 02 01:31 |
| DaemonFC | And if I could get even 10 years out of this car I'd feel good about that. | Jun 02 01:31 |
| DaemonFC | The body just doesn't rust that fast if everything's off, sealed up, and you wash the car reasonably often. | Jun 02 01:32 |
| DaemonFC | Where you get into severe rust problems way too soon is when people take on an $800 car payment and then realize "Oh shit, this is really expensive. Guess I won't wash it now.". | Jun 02 01:32 |

In response to questions, Gates only disclosed one contract—Vox’s—but did describe how some of this contract money is spent: producing sponsored content, and occasionally funding “non-media nonprofit entities to support efforts such as journalist | Jun 02 01:55 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | "NPR covers the Gates Foundation extensively. By the end of 2019, a spokesperson said, NPR had mentioned the foundation more than 560 times in its reporting, including 95 times on Goats and Soda, the outlet’s “global health and development blog,” which Gates helps fund. “Funding from corporate sponsors and philanthropic donors is separate from the editorial decision-making process in NPR’s newsroom,” the spokesperson no | Jun 02 01:58 |

The lack of independent perspectives is hard to miss. Bill Gates is the second-richest man in the world and might reasonably be viewed as a tote | Jun 02 01:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | m of economic inequality, but NPR has transformed him into a moral authority on poverty. | Jun 02 01:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | Given Gates’s large funding role at NPR, one could imagine editors insisting that reporters seek out financially independent voices or include sources who can offer critical perspectives. (Many NPR stories on Gates don’t: here, here, here, here, here, here.) Likewise, NPR could seek a measure of independence from Gates by rejecting donations that are earmarked for reporting on Gates’s favored topics. | Jun 02 01:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | Even when NPR publishes critical reporting on Gates, it can feel scripted. In February 2018, NPR ran a story headlined “Bill Gates Addresses ‘Tough Questions’ on Poverty and Power.” The “tough questions” NPR posed in this Q&A were mostly based on a list curated by Gates himself, which he previously answered in a letter posted to his foundation’s website. With no irony at all, reporter Ari Shapiro asked, “How do you | Jun 02 01:59 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | "Writing in De Correspondent, freelance journalists Robert Fortner and Alex Park examined the limitations and inadvertent consequences of the Gates Foundation’s relentless efforts to eradicate polio.

| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, Financially necessary. | Jun 02 11:10 |
| DaemonFC | The Turkish currency has been devalued to the point where foreign stuff is really expensive. | Jun 02 11:10 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | i assume those android phones are chinese | Jun 02 11:11 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | more so than s. korean | Jun 02 11:12 |
| DaemonFC | Most likely. | Jun 02 11:12 |
| DaemonFC | Anyway, Turkey has been having severe problems with inflation for a while now. | Jun 02 11:12 |
| DaemonFC | When people don't trust that inflation will subside, they want more and more to no end and it ends up causing inflation. | Jun 02 11:13 |
| DaemonFC | The expectation breeds more. | Jun 02 11:13 |
| DaemonFC | Since money has nothing backing it, then a currency freefall is possible. If people could convert USD or GBP into something solid, like gold or silver, than they'd be more likely to accept a flat value of them on an indefinite timeline because as long as the conversion rate for fiat money into hard and tangible assets that don't lose value remains the same, the currency remains worth about the same, with minor fluctuations based on the demand | Jun 02 11:15 |
| DaemonFC | for the guaranteed hard asset, but people have always been glad to take precious metals. | Jun 02 11:15 |
| DaemonFC | So you wouldn't have runaway inflation under a precious metals standard. Doesn't just have to be gold. | Jun 02 11:15 |
| DaemonFC | The US government "owns" a lot of gold. I say "owns" because they did everything short of digging it out of people's teeth during the Great Depression and ever since then they've let it sit there not being used for anything. | Jun 02 11:16 |
| DaemonFC | That's what government does. It destroys value by behaving in bizarre and unpredictable manners. | Jun 02 11:17 |
| DaemonFC | Even with no hard asset backing the USD, you could get inflation under control in a few months if anyone trusted Congress and Biden to start spending responsibly starting soon. | Jun 02 11:18 |
| DaemonFC | But they don't. No reason to expect financial responsibility now when the whole thing just gets worse every year for over two decades now. | Jun 02 11:18 |
| DaemonFC | The whole thing just goes to this insane Keynesian Economics thing, which is ridiculous and has proven itself wrong so many times. | Jun 02 11:20 |
| DaemonFC | People laugh at "Austrian Economics" or "Chicago Economics" (of Milton Friedman), but Keynes was the worst. | Jun 02 11:20 |
| DaemonFC | Proposing dumping inflationary money into the economy, and basically Keynesians believe it's not even important where it goes. | Jun 02 11:21 |
| DaemonFC | Politicians like it. "We're stimulating the economy." No, you aren't. Japan is 20 years ahead of you if you want to know where that's going. | Jun 02 11:22 |
| DaemonFC | 300% debt to GDP. No inflation adjusted gains in their stock indexes since 1990. | Jun 02 11:22 |
| DaemonFC | Keynesian "stimulus" is like spinning your tires in the mud, getting nowhere, and then asserting that you're making progress becase the car is burning gas. | Jun 02 11:23 |
| DaemonFC | If any "Keynesian" can show me by which measure we're doing well because of it, then I'll gladly apologize. | Jun 02 11:27 |
| DaemonFC | Price stability? Nope. | Jun 02 11:27 |
| DaemonFC | Job creation? Everyone is laying off. | Jun 02 11:27 |
| DaemonFC | And surely everyone owns a house and two cars, oh wait, shit. | Jun 02 11:27 |
| DaemonFC | Keynesianism is a sad sick religion, like gun control. | Jun 02 11:28 |
| DaemonFC | Every time Illinois passes more gun control, crime in Chicago goes up, because they still all have guns. | Jun 02 11:29 |
| DaemonFC | But even if they didn't, they have knives, cars, and gasoline bombs. | Jun 02 11:29 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | that's bombs | Jun 02 11:37 |
| DaemonFC | Running over people with cars. | Jun 02 11:37 |
| DaemonFC | You have cars. | Jun 02 11:37 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | making bombs is not easy | Jun 02 11:37 |
| DaemonFC | Making bombs is incredibly easy. | Jun 02 11:37 |
| DaemonFC | Especially the really nasty ones that mostly rely on shrapnel. | Jun 02 11:38 |
| DaemonFC | It's pretty easy to adjust it to mostly maim and cripple people instead of killing. | Jun 02 11:39 |
| DaemonFC | If you really hate the enemy, you don't try to kill, you try to wound, badly. | Jun 02 11:40 |
| DaemonFC | A man who has been deprived of his ability to work but who lives will be an ongoing burden on his comrades, plus he'll live and suffer instead of just dying. | Jun 02 11:40 |
| DaemonFC | Few want to openly admit it, but maiming 10-20 of the enemy is worse for them than killing 5-6. | Jun 02 11:42 |
| DaemonFC | Once they put the 5-6 in the ground and write off what those people would have done for the rest of their lives, now they have to care for the injured. | Jun 02 11:42 |
| DaemonFC | In war, wounding enemy soldiers badly enough that the enemy has to slow down and deal with that, and then their country suffers indefinitely because so many went ahead and lived is a better strategy than going for body count. | Jun 02 11:44 |
| DaemonFC | The 2005 London bus bombings are a good example of why terrorism that kills a lot of people isn't very effective as a tool of harassment. | Jun 02 11:45 |
| DaemonFC | If most of them had lived and been badly wounded and had to go on disability for the rest of their lives, it would have hurt the nation more. | Jun 02 11:45 |
| DaemonFC | There's no evidence that simply using terror for its own sake works. If anything, it causes your enemy to become more unified and emboldened. | Jun 02 11:46 |
| DaemonFC | If you're going to be a belligerent, you need to cause drastic and ongoing harm that psychologically will affect their disposition, but more importantly, causes them to waste their own resources dealing with the mess. | Jun 02 11:47 |
| DaemonFC | If you can't keep such a campaign going, don't bother to start. | Jun 02 11:47 |
| DaemonFC | As soon as the London bus bombings are out of the news in a week, people will go back to talking about the Royal Family waving at football games. | Jun 02 11:48 |
| DaemonFC | Like it never even happened. | Jun 02 11:48 |
| DaemonFC | If it starts becoming a process of attrition and there's no end in sight to it, then you can keep people afraid of their own shadow. | Jun 02 11:49 |
| DaemonFC | Attrition is probably the scariest thing that can happen in a conflict for the person(s) on the receiving end. | Jun 02 11:50 |
| DaemonFC | Does terrible things to the mind. | Jun 02 11:50 |
| DaemonFC | But governments use it against their own citizens too. | Jun 02 11:50 |
| DaemonFC | Notice how COVID morphed into runaway inflation and "chicken shortages", and wars, and a constant barrage of bad news? | Jun 02 11:51 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, That's why I don't watch much TV. | Jun 02 11:51 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | me neither | Jun 02 11:51 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | none | Jun 02 11:51 |
| DaemonFC | It's either discs or something OTA until News Hour comes on. | Jun 02 11:51 |
| DaemonFC | Stallman did say something I agree with. | Jun 02 11:52 |
| DaemonFC | You could read all of the summaries in 10 minutes and know what's generally going on, but you have people like my grandmother who has CNN or Fox on all day telling us we need to worry about ISIS knocking out the power grid with an electromagnetic pulse because they hate Jesus. | Jun 02 11:53 |
| DaemonFC | It just absolutely tears you apart. She has been in a constant state of panic for the last 40 years and where has it gotten her? She is almost 91 years old, and she lives in a really nice nursing hom. Probably has just a few years left, not the best ones, and she lost everything to Anderson Cooper and Pat Robertson. | Jun 02 11:54 |
| DaemonFC | Being under stress constantly changes a person's brain. | Jun 02 11:54 |
| DaemonFC | It shrinks, neuron efficiency goes down, the ability to think and reason goes into a sharp reverse. | Jun 02 11:55 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not saying inflicting terror and loss on your enemy is necessarily a good move for you. | Jun 02 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | But if you're going to do it, at least do it in ways that work and are difficultl to retaliate against. | Jun 02 11:56 |

| DaemonFC | ""Direct provocation": Russia's foreign minister said Ukraine's demands to the West regarding the supply of advanced rocket launchers go beyond "all limits and decency" and is a "direct provocation." It comes after President Joe Biden said the US is providing Ukraine "more advanced rocket systems and munitions" that will enable it to hit targets 50 miles away. The US says Ukraine has pledged not to use the weapons against targets in Russia." | Jun 02 17:35 |
| DaemonFC | They have no reason to lie about that. | Jun 02 17:35 |
| DaemonFC | If they did, it would mean the end of US weapons shipments. | Jun 02 17:35 |
| DaemonFC | They're not going to risk that while the Russians are in their country and they have plenty of Russian targets to hit with the missiles that are there right now. | Jun 02 17:36 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | the GAYS... they ruin everything!!!! | Jun 02 17:48 |
| DaemonFC | I loved that scene from "Community" where the guy busts in in a devil costume revving a chainsaw and shouted "GAAAAAAY MAAAAAARIAGE!". | Jun 02 17:49 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, That was one of my favorite "the left whines about literally everything" examples. The sexist air conditioning. Then you click through and find that there is a 2 degree F gap in where men and women prefer the air conditioner. | Jun 02 17:50 |
| DaemonFC | Men like it at 66 and women like it at 68. | Jun 02 17:50 |
| DaemonFC | So I propose a compromise. | Jun 02 17:50 |
| DaemonFC | Set it at 67 and call it a truce. | Jun 02 17:50 |
| DaemonFC | Nobody can really perceive an air temperature difference of 1 degree F. | Jun 02 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | Even 2 is barely noticeable. | Jun 02 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | And they stereotype. My cousin is a rather large woman and keeps hers at 64 degrees. | Jun 02 17:52 |
| DaemonFC | I walk in there and need a jacket in the summer. | Jun 02 17:52 |
| DaemonFC | WGN wrote one of their many throwaway articles about where to keep the air conditioner according to the Department of Energy. | Jun 02 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | I said that since I pay the electric bill, I'll set it wherever I damned well please and the Department of Energy can fuck off. | Jun 02 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | I save a lot of energy, but not during the summer. Nope. | Jun 02 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | Summer, I start using 30-40% more power than the average neighbor. But for the other 9 months it's 20-55% less. | Jun 02 17:54 |
| DaemonFC | There's one reliable way to get me extremely mad to where I'll start cussing out anyone who annoys me further. | Jun 02 17:54 |
| DaemonFC | When the temperature in the room gets so hot that I'm already sweating. | Jun 02 17:55 |
| DaemonFC | You could also point out that the air conditioner article is sexist, against men. | Jun 02 17:55 |

| DaemonFC | If it's really a form of discrimination that women are engaging in, against men, over something our bodies do that is beyond our control (overheat more easily), then they are discriminating based on an immutable biological fact. | Jun 02 17:56 |
| DaemonFC | Ruh roh! | Jun 02 17:56 |

| DaemonFC | They need "content" and it doesn't really matter what it is. | Jun 02 17:57 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | they cause angst and strife | Jun 02 17:57 |

| DaemonFC | I can't even control my own air conditioner that well. | Jun 02 17:58 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | A/C very rarely needed here | Jun 02 17:58 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | you can adapt with clothing | Jun 02 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | It's one of those old units where cold is a dial between 1 and 7 and it's meaningless, because what 1 and 7 mean varies depending on the ambient conditions in the room. | Jun 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | we had the heating off since 2020 or 2019 | Jun 02 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | So you have to change the dial and set a digital thermometer next to the unit to figure out what any of it means. | Jun 02 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | Like a refrigerator. | Jun 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | DaemonFC: temperature is also wrong | Jun 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | it's not room temp | Jun 02 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | Hell, it still uses R12! | Jun 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | it's what the thermostat senses | Jun 02 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | It's THAT old. | Jun 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and when it switches off the operation | Jun 02 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | ust be glad it works and hasn't leaked out all the freon. | Jun 02 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | It predates the Montreal Agreement by about 12 years or so. | Jun 02 18:00 |
| DaemonFC | Tells you how well they built stuff back then, schestowitz_TR2 | Jun 02 18:00 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | Montreal needs heating | Jun 02 18:00 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | Montreal is very coled | Jun 02 18:00 |
| DaemonFC | The air conditioner is older than me and will freeze you out of the room. | Jun 02 18:00 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | I was there | Jun 02 18:00 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | if you live in a place where clothing is enough, you can save like 1000 bucks a year | Jun 02 18:01 |

| DaemonFC | "I owned 5 BMWs! This is much better! And cheaper too!" | Jun 02 18:02 |

| *SomeH4x0r has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jun 02 18:03 | |
| DaemonFC | PROBLEM: When you live where a car is unnecessary the crime is 400% higher and the cost of living excluding the car rises so much you might as well have stayed put. | Jun 02 18:03 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | US lacks good paths and public transport | Jun 02 18:03 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | hostage of fossil fuel companies | Jun 02 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | If we moved to Chicago the rent would double. The public transport is one way crime spreads everywhere and why there aren't any good neighborhoods really. | Jun 02 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | Remember, I lived there and noticed what happened. | Jun 02 18:04 |
| *zleap has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jun 02 18:04 | |
| DaemonFC | The public transport is a toilet auger bringing the crime to you. | Jun 02 18:04 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | you could live close to where your spouse works | Jun 02 18:05 |
| DaemonFC | PROBLEM: If I move there, the apartments cost $1,550 a month and up. | Jun 02 18:05 |
| DaemonFC | That adds $700 a month to rent. Even at $5.59 a gallon, I pay $5.16 for gasoline. | Jun 02 18:05 |
| DaemonFC | My car gets 22 mpg in the city. | Jun 02 18:06 |
| DaemonFC | I go through about $100 in gas getting Mandy to work and back over the month. | Jun 02 18:06 |
| DaemonFC | Car repairs averaged out to $100-200 a month with the IMPALA. | Jun 02 18:06 |
| DaemonFC | So the difference in rent takes everything the car was really costing me, times 2-3. | Jun 02 18:06 |

| DaemonFC | Then in exchange for that privilege, we get to move back across the street from Medline, which is putting out a gas that causes cancer when you breathe it in and LIVE there and breathe it all the time again. | Jun 02 18:07 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | you probably exeggerate the costs near there | Jun 02 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | No I don't. | Jun 02 18:07 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | or take as reference the better apartments in that area | Jun 02 18:07 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | not the comparable ones | Jun 02 18:08 |
| *KiKi has quit (connection closed) | Jun 02 18:08 | |
| DaemonFC | There are no comparable ones. | Jun 02 18:08 |
| DaemonFC | The apartment complexes there are meant for people who can afford high rents. | Jun 02 18:08 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | not within 1 mile radius? | Jun 02 18:08 |
| DaemonFC | They're all newer construction. | Jun 02 18:08 |
| DaemonFC | Waukegan annexed that area recently, and so everything is new. | Jun 02 18:08 |
| DaemonFC | If you move the absolute closest possible with decent rents, it only closes the gap in distance by about 30-40%. | Jun 02 18:09 |
| DaemonFC | Then you still need to get down there somehow, only now you have to walk back EAST to catch the bus that takes 2.5 hours to get a 10 minute car drive to work instead of WEST. | Jun 02 18:09 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jun 02 18:09 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | and the problems grow | Jun 02 18:23 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | like all this "microchip" stuff | Jun 02 18:23 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | more so during component shortages | Jun 02 18:23 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | DaemonFC: maybe not yet | Jun 02 18:24 |
| MinceR | the problem is not cars | Jun 02 18:24 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | a lot of the panels are no longer analogue | Jun 02 18:24 |
| MinceR | the problem is humans being incapable of fast flight and teleportation on their own power | Jun 02 18:24 |

| DaemonFC | There's a Powertrain Control Module (every car has it), a Body Control Module (every car in the last 20 years or so), and a Theft Deterrent Module (which is basically an RFID reader that sees if the key is correct and works with the BCM). | Jun 02 18:25 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | it is, at the very least,a waste of energy | Jun 02 18:25 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | and then you need not worry about parking and repairs | Jun 02 18:25 |
| MinceR | as for the "chip shortage", that's what you get when you outsource _all_ IC manufacturing to shitholes you can't trust, like red china | Jun 02 18:25 |
| DaemonFC | The Impala has the original and it still works okay. | Jun 02 18:25 |
| DaemonFC | It's LED. | Jun 02 18:26 |
| MinceR | schestowitz_TR2: you can't rent cars if cars don't exist. | Jun 02 18:26 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | right, you take that very literally | Jun 02 18:26 |
| DaemonFC | The Buick has dials and gauges, which were getting rarer even in 2008, because old people don't like digital stuff very much. | Jun 02 18:26 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | rental is for long term | Jun 02 18:27 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | like one week | Jun 02 18:27 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | otherwise all the paperwork isn't worth the hassle | Jun 02 18:27 |
| DaemonFC | Well, there's a liability waiver, but with Hertz, you may have a false police report accusing you of car theft. | Jun 02 18:27 |
| DaemonFC | Then be arrested at a random time in the future. | Jun 02 18:27 |
| DaemonFC | And Hertz owns a lot of the other "companies" too. | Jun 02 18:27 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | when you rent a car you also need to learn many things | Jun 02 18:27 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and then you bring it back to the garage | Jun 02 18:27 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | one option is to always choose similar models | Jun 02 18:27 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | DaemonFC: the copilot guy Graveley was stealing rented cars | Jun 02 18:28 |
| MinceR | oh yeah, having the police sent after you even when you've done nothing wrong is also a lot of fun | Jun 02 18:28 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | sort of | Jun 02 18:28 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | they had to phone him and threaten him | Jun 02 18:28 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | but it's not his main issue | Jun 02 18:28 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | he was strangling women | Jun 02 18:28 |

| MinceR | most of them in budapest drive even more dangerously than the average idiot | Jun 02 18:29 |
| DaemonFC | Hertz lets you rent something then get down there and they change it on you because they don't actually have it, then you return the car and they report you stole it to the cops. | Jun 02 18:29 |
| MinceR | and they're hideously overpriced | Jun 02 18:29 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | MinceR: even if you own a car you have to share a road with them | Jun 02 18:29 |

| DaemonFC | The only thing I'm really super picky about is my drinking water. | Jun 02 18:30 |
| DaemonFC | Before I filter it, I have a digital thermometer and I run the tap until it's as cold as it's going to get. | Jun 02 18:30 |
| techrights-news | "As a user of the web I spend a lot of my time either disappointed or frustrated with sites I visit. After watching a movie I might hop over to the relevant Fandom page to learn about a character but instead get an irrelevant video taking up the entire screen." gemini://space.matthewphillips.info/posts/reader-friendly-browser/ | Jun 02 18:31 |
| DaemonFC | That way I know it's coming from the outside line and hasn't been sitting in the building's plumbing for who knows how long. | Jun 02 18:31 |

| DaemonFC | You can kind of guess. It takes between 30 and 60 seconds, but I don't want to waste a ton of water if someone else has already been running the tap in the building. | Jun 02 18:32 |
| DaemonFC | I just want to flush the stuff that's been in the building's pipes for a while. | Jun 02 18:32 |
| MinceR | https://ircz.de/p/22052351 | Jun 02 18:32 |

| DaemonFC | It has an interesting effect on lead readings. | Jun 02 18:32 |
| DaemonFC | Lots of cities have lead service lines, but not mains, so the lead contamination mainly happens on the service lines to each building. | Jun 02 18:33 |
| techrights-news | "Waiting for some paperwork and burocracy to get resolved, until then I can't really travel anywhere so this is a bummer because I need to make plans to go to HOPE in NY end of July and visit friends and hackers in the US." gemini://rek2.hispagatos.org/posts/2022-06-02-June-weather.gmi | Jun 02 18:33 |
| DaemonFC | The EPA requires that they sample houses to make sure that the water is not corroding the service line and putting in too much lead, so cities instruct people to run the tap before collecting the samples. Because what that will do is get 90% of the lead out and cause fewer violating readings to report to the feds. | Jun 02 18:34 |
| DaemonFC | But if you don't actually use the tap like that, you could be bringing in a lot of lead without realizing it. | Jun 02 18:34 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | DaemonFC: your country uses up a lot of metal | Jun 02 18:35 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | to make bombs and stuff | Jun 02 18:35 |
| DaemonFC | That's how you can get like, 60 parts per billion (violation) down to 6 ppb (which is lower than the 15 ppb cutoff). | Jun 02 18:35 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | at expense to taxpayersa | Jun 02 18:35 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | it should make more pipes | Jun 02 18:35 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | not pipe bombs | Jun 02 18:35 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and replace old pipes | Jun 02 18:35 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | that will save many lives | Jun 02 18:35 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, They're repleacing the lead service lines, but it's happening too slowly. | Jun 02 18:35 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | yeah | Jun 02 18:36 |
| DaemonFC | They won't all be gone for another 20 or 30 years at this rate. | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | sucks | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | worst part | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | there is no workaround | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | you cannot teleport water from luzern | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | you can buy bottled stuff | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | but that has its own issue and cost | Jun 02 18:36 |
| DaemonFC | The only workaround is to flush the faucet before you gather water, and then filter it as well. | Jun 02 18:36 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | water is something you must take in | Jun 02 18:36 |
| DaemonFC | If you use a Brita tap, this is easy too. | Jun 02 18:36 |
| DaemonFC | Run cold water through the bypass for about 60 seconds before engaging the filter and gathering water. | Jun 02 18:37 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | it's a mitigation strategy | Jun 02 18:37 |
| DaemonFC | It'll make the filter more effective too. | Jun 02 18:37 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | in turkey we were told not to drink tap water | Jun 02 18:37 |
| DaemonFC | Because the water won't have so much lead or other "pipe crap" like copper, zinc, sediment. | Jun 02 18:37 |
| DaemonFC | We definitely have something wrong with the building plumbing here. | Jun 02 18:38 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | usa inc. | Jun 02 18:38 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | $22 billion for hololons | Jun 02 18:38 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | not even 22 MILLION for pipes | Jun 02 18:38 |
| DaemonFC | I taste copper and zinc in unfiltered tap if I don't flush it. | Jun 02 18:38 |
| DaemonFC | So I flush, then filter. | Jun 02 18:38 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | bailing out Microsoft (graft) a lot more important | Jun 02 18:38 |
| DaemonFC | By the time I flush it's no so much a heavy metals problem as it is chlorine, TTHMs, and other stuff a Brita is pretty good at getting rid of. | Jun 02 18:39 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | so they say | Jun 02 18:39 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | don't trust marketing too much | Jun 02 18:39 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | they make a lot of money | Jun 02 18:39 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and spend some of it on image and reputation management | Jun 02 18:39 |
| DaemonFC | I know about what most of the "bad taste stuff" tastes like. Unfiltered, unflushed, we're dealing with chlorine, TTHMs, copper, and zinc, for sure. | Jun 02 18:39 |
| DaemonFC | But that's what I can taste. | Jun 02 18:39 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | dusty water is common too | Jun 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | assuming it is just dust | Jun 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and then you let the dust "settle" | Jun 02 18:40 |
| DaemonFC | That's why even the basic Britas are good on 5 contaminants and it includes those. | Jun 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | at the bottom | Jun 02 18:40 |
| DaemonFC | Almost all tap water in the US has a problem with those. | Jun 02 18:40 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | Mach 3 is money down the drain | Jun 02 18:43 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | try fusion 15 | Jun 02 18:43 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, There's only really two effective ways to fight a larger opponent and win. Surprise and sustained harassment. | Jun 02 18:54 |
| DaemonFC | Going by what I was posting earlier. | Jun 02 18:54 |
| DaemonFC | Those are the only two methods that work. | Jun 02 18:54 |
| DaemonFC | If you can't sustain a harassment campaign, you want something that surprises and shocks them so much that they become demoralized and give up quickly. | Jun 02 18:55 |
| DaemonFC | But the more you do that, the more likely it is to backfire, because they can become recalcitrant instead. More determined to fight you no matter what the cost. | Jun 02 18:56 |
| DaemonFC | You have to kind of get a feel for who they are and what they've done in the past. | Jun 02 18:56 |
| DaemonFC | Some people will give up and become compliant/cut their losses (pushovers) and some people become more determined to send a message even if defeating you exacts a terrible cost on themselves. | Jun 02 18:58 |
| DaemonFC | Generally when you fight nation states, the ones that hold out the longest are the failed democracies and dictatorships. | Jun 02 18:58 |
| DaemonFC | Putin doesn't suffer because nobody in Russia is in a real position to get rid of him through democracy. | Jun 02 18:58 |

| DaemonFC | The US eventually gave up in Afghanistan because the political cost was becoming too high. You can get away with squandering resources on wars you lost a long time ago in a democracy, sometimes. As long as you have a media that's willing to distract with something else, or things are going so well that the war is considered an unimportant excess and it's someone else's kids dying in it anyway. | Jun 02 19:00 |
| DaemonFC | You confuse failed democracy and badly informed and selfish public doing the voting. | Jun 02 19:01 |

| DaemonFC | What happens when you mix incompatible engine coolants is all sorts of horrible things, and they don't happen immediately. They happen in the months and years after you do that. | Jun 02 21:00 |
| DaemonFC | It causes corrosion, sludge, all sorts of things you don't want. | Jun 02 21:00 |
| DaemonFC | "DexCool Only" was not a "recommendation". | Jun 02 21:00 |
| DaemonFC | They said to do that because when you mix, you will destroy the system and maybe damage something beyond repair. | Jun 02 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | Like, even the engine. | Jun 02 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | Rare that it goes THAT far, but it can. | Jun 02 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | Depends on how bad things get. | Jun 02 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | Besides, with what mechanics and parts cost these days, it's not like you want to go around replacing coolant pipes, water pump, the heater core, the radiator, hoses.... | Jun 02 21:02 |

| DaemonFC | You can change the coolant from DexCool to whatever you want, but there's no point in doing so. You have to be so careful that you don't leave any DexCool in that the cost of paying someone to stand there and transition the system over properly would really get away from you fast, and for no real benefit. | Jun 02 21:04 |
| DaemonFC | There's YouTube videos of people flushing out the system like 7 or 8 times with a few of those being "with flushing chemicals", and so you'd be at it for a month as a DIY project if you know how to and you're that patient. | Jun 02 21:06 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.theregister.com | ExpressVPN moves servers out of India to evade data law • The Register | Jun 02 21:06 | |
| DaemonFC | If you're remaining with the OEM coolant type, typically you drain everything, then run water with a flush chemical, then drain, then water, then new coolant. | Jun 02 21:06 |
| DaemonFC | And you can get it all done in about an hour or two because if 3-4% of the old stuff is still in there somehow, it's not the end of the world. | Jun 02 21:07 |
| DaemonFC | I ended up having to get two flushes on the Buick because the lady let it get so nasty it was like someone shit in the coolant tank. | Jun 02 21:08 |
| DaemonFC | The first flush changed it from brown to orange with some brown, and ended up causing the heater to fail due to obstruction. | Jun 02 21:08 |
| DaemonFC | Then the next flush ended up being four hours long with Blue Devil (citric acid and some other stuff) with the heater running and the car idle to dissolve the sludge, then backflushing the heater core and radiator with a hose, then fill with new DexCool. | Jun 02 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | It's bright neon orange now, like it should be. | Jun 02 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | The heater will burn you out of the car and the engine operating temperature is looking really really good. | Jun 02 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think that "Diane" did any serious harm. It was sludge, not corrosion. | Jun 02 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | Which if anything just shows how much better DexCool is than "Green". | Jun 02 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | That hillbilly on YouTube was wrong when he says nothing dissolves sludge from old DexCool. Blue Devil does. | Jun 02 21:11 |
| DaemonFC | He was also wrong when he says all of them will do it at some point. If you flush the system every 5 years or 150,000 miles, and only use DexCool, it should never happen. | Jun 02 21:12 |

| DaemonFC | The fact that there is so much diabetes in first world countries now goes back to a moral hazard. Two, actually. | Jun 02 21:18 |
| DaemonFC | And both are caused by failure to adhere to Libertarian economic principles in the macro economy. | Jun 02 21:19 |

| buzzert | i'm not following. they're buying tesla cars for rich people? | Jun 02 21:43 |
| DaemonFC | The two major ones are by taxing real cars from real companies and giving Tesla "refundable credits" for being allegedly "zero emission". | Jun 02 21:43 |
| DaemonFC | And then there's the direct subsidies too. | Jun 02 21:43 |
| buzzert | is that only for tesla? or for any EV car maker? | Jun 02 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | Like Illinois paying rich people a $4,000 credit on their income tax to buy one. | Jun 02 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | Well, if you make EVs and gasoline cars, you offset the CAFE penalties on the gasoline models and don't end up paying much to subsidize some other company's. | Jun 02 21:44 |
| buzzert | _paying_ them to buy _tesla_ cars. i've never heard of this before. | Jun 02 21:45 |

| DaemonFC | When Musk was at PayPal, it reached into people's wallets and took the money. | Jun 02 22:11 |
| DaemonFC | It was illegal, but they needed funding and figured nobody would sue if the balance was small. | Jun 02 22:11 |

| buzzert | the topic changed again also. i have trouble keeping up with you guys | Jun 02 22:12 |

| DaemonFC | Property tax bill? Landlord pays it. | Jun 02 22:26 |
| DaemonFC | You may go "Oh a house payment is about what I pay in rent." And you might be right, but then you move in and you get PMI, and Interest, and Home Insurance, and Tax bills based on however much money the Democrats want to spend on giving people heroin needles that year. | Jun 02 22:27 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | both are bad options | Jun 02 22:27 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, it just goes on and on. | Jun 02 22:27 |
| DaemonFC | Repairs! | Jun 02 22:28 |
| DaemonFC | Landlords are bad, but they can actually be a lot less bad than "owning" a house, which you don't own. | Jun 02 22:29 |
| DaemonFC | Even though they pay property tax, they can put a large building there that isn't wasting a bunch of land that's also being taxed. | Jun 02 22:30 |
| DaemonFC | So you should theoretically save money even though they pay tax and it's in the rent somewhere. | Jun 02 22:30 |
| DaemonFC | When the county assessor figures up your tax bill omn your house, the empty land around the house that doesn't do anything except get you fined if you don't mow it often enough is about 20-30% of the bill, you know. | Jun 02 22:31 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz_TR2, I mocked the City of Waukegan on Facebook. | Jun 02 22:31 |

| DaemonFC | I said, "How much would it be if you put in a tall grass nature preserve with plants and animal life native to Illinois? The Democrats like those.

| DaemonFC | They have electric lawnmowers. | Jun 02 23:46 |
| DaemonFC | And as long as you avoid the battery garbage and just don't be a fucking moron who runs over the cord, then you don't have to buy Biden Gas to mow the lawn. | Jun 02 23:46 |
| MinceR | but you get Biden Electricity via the cable | Jun 02 23:50 |
| DaemonFC | That's not as horrible as Biden Gas. | Jun 02 23:52 |
| DaemonFC | An electric car is still a pretty bad deal, especially Tesla. | Jun 02 23:52 |
| DaemonFC | Because fuel is just one part of the cost of ownership, and batteries don't do especially well in extreme heat or cold. | Jun 02 23:53 |
| DaemonFC | So you won't get the rated performance no matter where you are. | Jun 02 23:53 |
| DaemonFC | Overall, I've seen 3-4 year old Teslas that were in worse shape than the 2008 Buick I just bought. | Jun 02 23:53 |
| DaemonFC | And that's pretty bad that you just paid $160,000 for their highest end Tesla and so many things are shot in 3 years. | Jun 02 23:54 |
| DaemonFC | It's a good thing they have two doors. It somewhat reduces the odds of being trapped in the stupid thing. | Jun 02 23:54 |
| DaemonFC | You could still have an electrical failure and not be able to exit the car without breaking the glass. | Jun 02 23:55 |
| DaemonFC | Which some people would call a design flaw, but hey. | Jun 02 23:55 |
| DaemonFC | "Hello, AAA, what's your policy on towing the car with me inside? Yeah, I don't want to call Safelite when I'm out of the car.....Oh I see, well, can you at least call the police. I don't have anything on hand to break the glass with. Thanks!". | Jun 02 23:56 |
