[00:00] Isambard_Prince They seem to use better material or something on those, which is good. If you lose that one you have to pay for the transmission to come off to get at it. [00:00] Isambard_Prince Some people have had a head gasket problem on GM engines. But I never have. [00:01] Isambard_Prince Although with Dex Cool turning into orange mud they might just be a self-sealing head gasket by way of that orange coolant being so awful. [00:01] Isambard_Prince Minor cracks and leaks get Dex Cool sludge in them then the heat sort of bakes it to a crisp and you don't have a leak. [00:01] Isambard_Prince :) [00:02] Isambard_Prince That's my theory on why head gasket leaks are less of a problem these days. [00:04] MinceR :> [00:08] Isambard_Prince MinceR, You should have seen all those cooling system flushes it took to get it out of my radiator and heater core and everything. [00:09] Isambard_Prince The first one, they cracked it open and there were chunks coming out. It was black. It looked like the car was having diarrhea. [00:09] MinceR lol [00:09] Isambard_Prince I ended up changing the coolant, I think, seven times in 4 years. [00:10] Isambard_Prince And this last one, the coolant was pretty clean when it came out, but they ended up replacing the water pump to get to the timing cover and the old water pump's impeller had dexcool sludge caked onto it. [00:11] Isambard_Prince I notice that with the new pump and a new thermostat the engine is finally reaching temperature a lot faster. [00:11] Isambard_Prince lol [00:11] Isambard_Prince The first flush actually stopped my heater core from working. [00:11] Isambard_Prince So I had to do it again with chemicals, and backflush the core with a hose. [00:13] Isambard_Prince "State Rep. Kam Buckner, whose Chicago district includes Soldier Field, blasted the decision by the team to make the announcement just days before the Bears face the Green Bay Packers in a game that is crucial for the teams playoff hopes. [00:13] Isambard_Prince The McCaskey family should focus on hosting a playoff game in a stadium that actually exists not distract by pontificating about hosting a Super Bowl in one that doesnt, Buckner said. [00:13] Isambard_Prince The request for a property tax break from an organization worth $8.9 billion is ill-timed as Illinois residents struggle to pay their bills, Buckner said. [00:13] Isambard_Prince As people across Illinois are reeling from the weight of rising property taxes, they are not interested in a professional sports franchise cutting to the front of the line for a property tax break while families are still fighting to make their own tax bills make sense, Buckner said. [00:13] Isambard_Prince State Rep. Mary Beth Canty, who represents Arlington Heights and introduced the bill Bears officials contend must pass if they are to stay in Cook County, said the team should change their approach. [00:13] Isambard_Prince I encourage the Bears to engage with the General Assembly in good faith, without threats, so we can find a path forward to keep the Bears at home in Illinois, Canty said in a statement. " [00:13] Isambard_Prince ---- [00:13] Isambard_Prince MinceR, There's nothing wrong with the stadium they're playing at now, and it's built. [00:14] Isambard_Prince They just want ANOTHER, NICER, stadium, and have families in Illinois on the verge of losing their houses pay for it. [00:14] Isambard_Prince It's sort of like Donald Trump really, except that they're not in a position to force it on us. [00:14] Isambard_Prince You know, Trump demolishing half the White House and forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for a $300 million dollar ballroom during a horrible recession. [00:14] MinceR maybe your pedophile party as an obsession with stadia like ours [00:15] MinceR maybe they'll also have a narrow-gauge railway built for no reason near mar-a-lago and steak the rolling stock from the other end of the country [00:15] MinceR s/eak/eal/ [00:26] *Righty has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:27] *Righty (~Username@774nwuxzfj494.irc) has joined #techrights [00:34] Isambard_Prince I don't think Trump likes trains. [00:34] Isambard_Prince He's obsessed with the contract for Air Force One. [00:34] Isambard_Prince The first one that comes off the line, if it arrives on schedule, will be late 2027. [00:34] Isambard_Prince So the most he'll be able to use it is about a year. [00:35] Isambard_Prince They gave it to Boeing so there's no telling if there will even be a new plane at all. [00:35] MinceR i don't even know why the gypsy king wanted one [00:35] MinceR he seems to prefer private planes [00:35] Isambard_Prince They famously make planes that crash and explosively decompress now. [00:36] Isambard_Prince And their spaceship fared about as well as the MAX series aircraft. [00:36] Isambard_Prince Only, in space, where you know, not being able to breathe or land is an even bigger problem. [00:37] Isambard_Prince Because there's no air and you have to survive re-entry. [00:37] Isambard_Prince Which is difficult when the heat shield is broken. [00:37] Isambard_Prince Just a few missing tiles from a heat shield is all it takes to kill everyone.

And the Philippines when you need call center workers. [00:47] MinceR i love how all the lines slant slightly [00:47] Isambard_Prince The entire country does stuff for Anthem and Capital One. [00:48] Isambard_Prince Then of course there's sex tourism. [00:48] Isambard_Prince And a thriving media industry whose primary source of income is to not write about the sex tourism in exchange for bags of cash.

Especially the old timers. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] But as time went on & money got better, it became more and more conformist. The banker, finance, lawyer, etc. types saw green and switched to tech. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] This changed the culture significantly. Before, it was filled with nerds of all stripes who did it out of interest in the underlying technology, since it was a decent career but not an extremely high paying one. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] There were famously combative people like Linus Torvalds, who held a high quality bar and an even sharper tongue. He was widely praised until fairly recently. Richard Stallman is another example of an interesting character. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] These types became problematic because they are the epitome of "scaring the hoes" in all kinds of ways. Pedantic, dogmatic, argumentative, smart and focused on the truth. They were weird. Many were ill groomed, didn't wear shoes, and wore anime shirts when it was the opposite of popular. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] Bringing women and normies into tech required these people to be purged. Normie men could tolerate them better, but women couldn't. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] The empires they built were thus settled by barbarian tribes in the name of diversity. Remnants like James Damore were punished severely. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] People like me--white, male, autistic, blunt, weird--were hunted down. It has been quite distressing, especially since the combination of autism and Scots-Irish impetuousness leaves one frequently in the cross hairs. [05:49] schestowitz[TR2] The next generation has been beat into submission or excluded at the hiring process.
