[04:35]	TR Bot	 Even Illinois State Police Can't Afford New Cars
[04:35]	IsambardPrince	:)
[04:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: The COMPLY OR DIE people from the state can't afford a new fleet of cars.
[04:36]	IsambardPrince	"The Illinois Department of Central Management Services recommends that vehicles in the ISP fleet be replaced every eight years or 150,000 miles, but it's taking much longer, ISP Director Brenden Kelly told a Senate appropriations committee last month.
[04:36]	IsambardPrince	"At this rate with this funding mechanism we have, it will take about 18 years to replace our fleet," Kelly said. "So while we're not expecting a miracle in terms of some legislation to solve that for us permanently, we recognize that we're going to have to continue to, piecemeal, find those sources of funding where they can be found.""
[04:36]	IsambardPrince	----
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	Well, my mom has no idea why I had the muffler shop rebuild my entire exhaust system including the catalytic converter.
[04:37]	MinceR	PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY.
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	I asked her if she had lookd at the price of cars lately.
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Ed, YOU'RE FIRED!
[04:37]	MinceR	YOU ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF PENAL CODE 1.13, SECTION 9. YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO COMPLY.
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	Err, Dick.
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	It was Dick Jones.
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	Why was I thinking Ed?
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	Anyway.
[04:37]	MinceR	FOUR... THREE... TWO... ONE... I AM NOW AUTHORIZED TO USE PHYSICAL FORCE!
[04:37]	MinceR	ED 209?
[04:37]	IsambardPrince	Oh yeah
[04:38]	IsambardPrince	The malfunctioning tank thing.
[04:38]	MinceR	the real RoboCop
[04:38]	IsambardPrince	The guy did put down the gun and it shot him anyway, about 600 times I think.
[04:38]	IsambardPrince	Which was a little much.
[04:38]	MinceR	yeah
[04:38]	MinceR	even the killswitch didn't work
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	"The rising cost of vehicles is the most obvious problem, but it's not the only one. Kelly says the main problem is that State Police Vehicle Fund has not been funded enough to keep up with rising costs. While lawmakers have appropriated $30 million to the fund each year since 2024, the actual amount available has been a fraction of this amount. That comes from a $1 fee on all license plates, plus the sale of retired police cars. This 
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	income typically hovers around $11 and $12 million, but sank to just $7 million last year. It may sound like a lot of money, but when a fully outfitted police car costs $120,000, that $7 million will only buy 58 cruisers of the 1,067 currently overdue for replacement. That also doesn't take into account replacing perfectly good cars that are destroyed in the line of duty."
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	---
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I think 58 cars a year is fine.
[04:40]	IsambardPrince	They need to maintain what they have better.
[04:40]	MinceR	especially if they're cruisers!
[04:40]	MinceR	maybe they could buy a few aircraft carriers too.
[04:40]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: They should do better fleet upkeep and replace the 58 worst every year.
[04:41]	IsambardPrince	It sounds like the government needs to just do more with less.
[04:41]	IsambardPrince	Like it forces us to do every year.
[04:41]	IsambardPrince	Thanks to their shitty tax and spend policies.
[04:42]	IsambardPrince	And the policies that ensure there are not enough jobs.
[04:43]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: So if I'm reading that right, they could add $1 to the vehicle plate renewal every year and they could afford 116 new cop cars, right?
[04:43]	IsambardPrince	That certainly wouldn't be the worst tax increase this state has ever imposed.
[04:43]	IsambardPrince	There was that one about  8 years ago where they raised the state income tax from 3.5% to 4.95%.
[04:43]	IsambardPrince	Ouch.
[04:44]	IsambardPrince	Or the ones where your property tax might go up 27% in a single year if you live in Cook County.
[04:44]	IsambardPrince	It seems weird that they'd be bashful about one dollar on a license plate.
[04:45]	IsambardPrince	They've never had a problem with stealing so much more from us every year like the band of pirates that they are.
[04:46]	MinceR	:>
[04:46]	MinceR	it's more robbing than stealing
[04:46]	MinceR	they use weapons and the threat of violence to get money from the people
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	Yep.
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Nobody in this state seems to care how high the taxes go.
[04:47]	MinceR	i guess they're rich
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	The Democrats only have to point at the other party and say "They
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	"They're insane!"
[04:47]	MinceR	or maybe they're stupid, like most hungarians
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	And they're right.
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	And so I even vote for the Democrats.
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	Knowing that it will be harder to afford to live every year.
[04:47]	MinceR	but yeah, that's one of the problems with the two-party system
[04:48]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: They have to put some of the tax increases on the ballot.
[04:48]	MinceR	especially one in which one party has already turned into an authoritarian monster party
[04:48]	IsambardPrince	Like the Forest Preserve one.
[04:48]	IsambardPrince	I voted NO on raising property tax bills to give the Forest Preserves $3.6 million more each year.
[04:48]	IsambardPrince	They said "But it's only like $3-4 per property!"
[04:49]		*MinceR puts some forest preserve on bread and eats it
[04:49]	IsambardPrince	And I said, "That's the problem. All this.... 'It's only...' adds up!"
[04:49]	IsambardPrince	You do that a few hundred times and suddenly it's not chump change anymore.
[04:50]	IsambardPrince	Then people can't pay their property tax bills, and lose their house, or the landlord says fuck it, maybe I raise the rent twice as much this year.
[04:51]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: They have High Mileage everything now.
[04:51]	IsambardPrince	25 years ago it was high mileage oil.
[04:51]	IsambardPrince	Now I see High Mileage ATF and High Mileage coolants.
[04:51]	IsambardPrince	I don't really know what those are for.
[04:51]	MinceR	fucking up a car?
[04:52]	IsambardPrince	Well, I use High Mileage oil because I know what that does.
[04:52]	IsambardPrince	It has extra detergents and it's usually a bit more resistant to burn off and it has extra seal conditioners to slow down oil leaks.
[04:52]	IsambardPrince	It's just a bit more forgiving of an old engine that's not in perfect condition.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	Older engines tend to leak, develop oil consumption, and run dirtier.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	So the benefits are easy to explain.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	High Mileage oil won't stop a major oil leak.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	But they can slow down the occasional drip or seepage.
[04:54]	IsambardPrince	They can help delay, perhaps indefinitely, a costly repair.
[04:54]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I took a chance on an oil flush about a year ago, and it did cost me some of my gaskets eventually.
[04:54]	IsambardPrince	It did not destroy the engine, but some seals that were not leaking before started to.
[04:55]	IsambardPrince	I paid to have the seals replaced.
[04:56]	IsambardPrince	I know someone that paid Jiffy Lube $100 to put in a can of oil flush in his 479,000 mile Dodge Grand Caravan.
[04:56]	IsambardPrince	It went from leaking no oil at all to him having to put in a quart every week.
[04:56]		*MinceR Dodges an entire Grand Caravan
[04:56]	IsambardPrince	The thing is most engines are a bit dirty inside after that many miles.
[04:57]	IsambardPrince	And some of the sludge gets into a seal that's not good, but hardens and that's now part of the seal.
[04:57]	IsambardPrince	If you flush it all out, that goes too, not just the stuff on the metal parts of the engine.
[04:57]	IsambardPrince	It's a cute idea, if they could make something that got the sludge off metal parts but not the seals it would be great.
[04:57]	IsambardPrince	But it removes the sludge everywhere it goes.
[04:59]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: The article says that Kansas replaces their state police vehicles at 50,000 miles. Gives them to the local police.

[05:37]	schestowitz[TR3]	Women post pictures looking at their phone (often mirror selfies) for a mix of vanity, validation, and curation. These photos are typically used to highlight an outfit, hairstyle, or makeup (showcasing appearance) while appearing casual, "candid," or mysterious. This trend also stems from a desire for social validation ("likes") or to show a curated, aesthetic lifestyle.
[05:37]	schestowitz[TR3]	I also like when they post about "an event" they are running at a local bar and grill or golf place in Atlanta or San Fran and they randomly tell 2B LinkedIn users about it and say feel free to drop by.

[05:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	"When did we go from efficient to a red tape nightmare?"
[05:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	I can only speak from my own situation (IBM Global Services, GTS, Division 07, 1993-2010). I'd say that it started in 2005, if you want a timestamp. In all divisions, anything that might cost money is approved or disapproved by one or more financial analysts in addition to division management. Anything that might affect a schedule is approved or disapproved by one or more project managers plus one or more department managers. The 
[05:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	bigger the issue, the more people get involved for making a decision.
[05:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	I imagine it's the same in all divisions, but when I was working for GTS there were a lot of "council" or "board" meetings. You'd get a bunch of band 8s, band 9s and maybe even some band 10s. There was a lot of talk, and a LOT of kissing "a" if you know what I mean. Lots of egos, lots of feelings to be massaged, etc. I hated these sorts of meetings, and was grateful that I didn't have to attend many of them. For some people, atten
[05:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	ding such meetings was their entire job. I imagine that for some people who remain it is still that way.

[14:20]	schestowitz[TR3]	the ergo manual is from 2021
[14:20]	schestowitz[TR3]	we used the latest version
[14:21]	schestowitz[TR3]	(2026)
[14:21]	schestowitz[TR3]	Debian is a toxic community
[14:21]	schestowitz[TR3]	unlike ours
[14:21]	schestowitz[TR3]	we have several people who can handle IRC setup
[14:21]	schestowitz[TR3]	and are  therefore very robust to    attacks
[14:21]	schestowitz[TR3]	inc. sociall engineering attacks
[14:22]	schestowitz[TR3]	deioan brought onboard sick men
[14:22]	kalel	I've heard about techrights for a long time, never paid much attention. I saw a link from daniel pococks blog to techrights and noticed there's an irc channel so I thought I'd check it out.
[14:22]	schestowitz[TR3]	and theey ruin it for everybody
[14:22]	schestowitz[TR3]	so then nbody wants to run

[14:22]	kalel	Afaik, ergo default still uses 'u' as the default username even in 2026 version, but I can be wrong about that.

[14:22]	schestowitz[TR3]	yopu can be some librarian girlfriend of some dude

[15:42]	schestowitz[TR3]	IBM for decades now has suffered from THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES (Robbie Thomas in hoodies and sneakers does not count) and THE PETER PRINCIPLE: The Peter Principle is a management theory formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter in 1968, which states that employees in a hierarchical organization tend to be promoted based on their performance in their current role rather than their suitability for the next level. Consequently, individua
[15:42]	schestowitz[TR3]	ls continue to be promoted until they reach a position for which they are incompetent, at which point they no longer demonstrate the required skills for further advancement. This leads to the "final placement" or "Peter's Plateau," where the employee remains stuck, often lowering team productivity and morale due to their inability to effectively perform their new duties.
[15:42]	schestowitz[TR3]	The principle is a critique of conventional promotion practices that equate technical skill in one role with leadership capability in anothersuch as promoting a stellar technician to a managerial role requiring interpersonal skills they lack. While initially written as a satire, research has validated the principle, showing that companies often promote based on past success, leading to poor management performance after promotio
[15:42]	schestowitz[TR3]	n. To mitigate this, organizations are advised to provide targeted training for new roles, create non-management career paths for high performers, or promote based on potential rather than just past achievements."

[22:39]	IsambardPrince	Well, the good news is we allegedly got the pilot back, but they won't say his name or show any proof of that, and the bad news is we lost three more aircraft during the operation including an Army helicopter and two MC-130J planes each worth over $100 million.
[22:39]	IsambardPrince	The operation to get him back cost us over $500 million when he shouldn't have even been over there to get shot down in the first place.
