Isambard_Princeschestowitz[TR2], PingJan 24 03:23
Isambard_PrinceSo, American Express is changing the Business Gold card. It will now have a $300 "ChatGPT Credit"Jan 24 03:23
MinceRlolJan 24 03:24
Isambard_PrinceThose credits are usually paid by the company offering them.Jan 24 03:24
Isambard_PrinceIt doesn't cost American Express anything.Jan 24 03:24
Isambard_PrinceIt's called "Coupon Book".Jan 24 03:24
Isambard_PrinceSo I take it OpenAI has come in and offered $300 of free ChatGPT Plus to Business Gold card holders as advertising.Jan 24 03:25
Isambard_PrinceThey can count it as sales and then rebate it 100%.Jan 24 03:25
Isambard_PrinceThe credits on the Business Gold are just dumb.Jan 24 03:26
Isambard_PrinceThis makes it so much worse.Jan 24 03:26
Isambard_PrinceThey could offer credits at office supply stores or something.Jan 24 03:27
Isambard_PrinceInstead you get $300 of ChatGPT.Jan 24 03:27

techrights-news"A lot of these disputes involve questions of politics, status and humiliations. If you look at the cases in the Debian suicide cluster, some of the men wrote complaints about being tricked to work as unpaid volunteers while fellow "volunteers" really got paid all along.

Isambard_Prince<schestowitz[TR2]> if you lie to amex you get legal tro8iubleJan 24 06:19
Isambard_PrinceIf they lose a lot of money because of it, yes.Jan 24 06:20
Isambard_PrinceTechnically, lying to a bank on a loan application is always a crime.Jan 24 06:20
Isambard_PrinceBut an honest estimate of your income that goes a few hundred bucks one way or the other, is a lot different than making up a lot of income that just doesn't exist. Not even close.Jan 24 06:21
Isambard_PrinceIf you lie to them and cost them $50,000-$100,000 then it could turn into a criminal investigation.Jan 24 06:21
Isambard_PrinceThe easiest way for them to prove you lied is if you later file bankruptcy and it's clear that you never had the money you told them about which justified that size of a loan.Jan 24 06:22
Isambard_PrinceFor smaller amounts, it might mean they sue, but that means nothing to a lot of people.Jan 24 06:24
Isambard_PrinceIn this State, if you're not making more than $17 an hour, they won't get a penny.Jan 24 06:25
Isambard_PrinceBecause the law says it would be cruel to leave you without enough to live on.Jan 24 06:25
Isambard_PrinceAnd so people who work at Panda Express or McDonalds or something don't lose anything.Jan 24 06:26
Isambard_PrinceAnd if you're on Social Security, they can't get that because it's immune.Jan 24 06:26
Isambard_PrinceIf you're on Social Security *and* you work, what you do is you use the legal protections for low earners, but then you put the Social Security in its own bank account.Jan 24 06:27
Isambard_PrinceBecause the law says they won't get a penny from you where you work, and the bank has to trace funds and exempt anything that's from Social Security.Jan 24 06:27
Isambard_PrinceIf the only thing you ever put in the other account is Social Security checks, then it's all from Social Security.Jan 24 06:28

Isambard_Princeschestowitz[TR2], Regarding gas...Jan 24 22:06
Isambard_PrinceI run the Buick on 15% ethanol usually.Jan 24 22:06
Isambard_PrinceRight now there's a 37 cent per gallon discount at the station I use.Jan 24 22:07
Isambard_PrinceSo I save $6.29 per full tank of gas.Jan 24 22:07
Isambard_PrinceRegular around here is 10% ethanol anyway.Jan 24 22:07
Isambard_PrinceSo vs. E10, you lose maybe 1% of your gas mileage to E15, but if you're saving 14% per gallon, then you're coming out way ahead even at that.Jan 24 22:09
Isambard_PrinceIt won't mess up your car. But I wouldn't go any higher on the Ethanol than that unless your car says "flex fuel" on it and the additional mpg loss is justifiable.Jan 24 22:10
Isambard_PrinceSome stations sell odd blends like E35 or E50, not just E85.Jan 24 22:10
Isambard_PrinceBut the risk with high Ethanol blends is that it can damage your car or cause the computer to not know what the hell is going on and set a code, and you won't pass emissions because the car is running too clean and the computer thinks that it's an impossible reading.Jan 24 22:11
Isambard_PrinceEthanol can also attract moisture so you can end up with unacceptable pockets of water in the gas tank if you leave it sit there for too long.Jan 24 22:13
Isambard_PrinceAt 37 cents a gallon discount, I'm willing to use E15. I don't like it but it's the cheapest, per mile, way to run the car.Jan 24 22:14
Isambard_PrinceI have not figured out why those stations are selling the stuff so cheaply given that only an additional 5% of the total blend is ethanol, not gasoline.Jan 24 22:14
Isambard_PrincePoliticians like to tout E15 as a way to save economically pinched drivers some money at the pump.Jan 24 22:15
Isambard_PrinceGasoline is some dirty stuff though, it doesn't burn cleanly. So if they're cutting back on the detergents to get the off brand gas to you cheaper, you might want to run a good fuel system cleaner every once in a while. Kia said if you're not using Top Tier gas to use a bottle of Techron every 5,000 miles.Jan 24 22:18
Isambard_Princeschestowitz[TR2], Firefox still hasn't fixed a bug where sites can tell you're in private mode.Jan 24 22:43
Isambard_Princehttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-private-mode/Jan 24 22:43
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-addons.mozilla.org | Hide Private Mode – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)Jan 24 22:43
Isambard_PrinceYou still have to install this extension and make it usable in private mode.Jan 24 22:44
Isambard_PrinceIt adds fake support for the API that Firefox disables in private mode.Jan 24 22:44
Isambard_PrinceSo when sites check for it, it's "there" but when they write to it, the stub just throws it all away. :)Jan 24 22:44
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, ^Jan 24 22:44
MinceR:)Jan 24 22:45
Isambard_PrinceCapital One won't let you refer people to credit cards if the referral link is loaded in Firefox Private Mode.Jan 24 22:45
Isambard_PrinceWhen you refer a person to Capital One, Capital One pays you $150 as a credit towards the card account you referred them with.Jan 24 22:45
Isambard_PrinceBut with Hide Private Mode installed and enabled in private mode, it goes ahead and works, because Capital One checks for whether IndexedDB is available, but doesn't actually use it.Jan 24 22:47
Isambard_PrinceT-Mobile also does this and says paying your bill in Private Mode is not allowed.Jan 24 22:47
Isambard_PrinceBut Hide Private Mode gets past that.Jan 24 22:47

Isambard_PrinceThe little blue pill.Jan 24 22:51

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, For $20 a month I'd rather just buy a phone when I need one.Jan 24 22:51
Isambard_PrinceIf you cancel T-Mobile on a "free" phone plan, the rest of the phone's payments immediately become due and if you don't pay it, they send you to collections.Jan 24 22:52
Isambard_PrinceBecause "free" phone.Jan 24 22:52
MinceR:>Jan 24 22:52
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, The guy next door with the weed owes Verizon a $1300 shut-off bill.Jan 24 22:53
Isambard_PrinceThey said he owed about $350 on his device and the rest was service, and if he didn't pay it all by January 15th, they'd turn it over for collections.Jan 24 22:53
Isambard_PrinceAnd I was like "How is it possible to owe about $900 in service charges before they cut you off?Jan 24 22:54
Isambard_PrinceThey're trying to keep going so they can sell the debt to another company at an amount that's worth pursuingJan 24 22:54
Isambard_PrinceSo they deliberately don't cut off your service for a while.Jan 24 22:54
Isambard_PrinceBecause what will happen is they keep you hooked up for 6 months while they destroy your credit.Jan 24 22:54
Isambard_PrinceThen they sell the debt for 50-60% of face value, and they still make money even though you didn't pay.Jan 24 22:55
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, That's how credit card companies always win too.Jan 24 22:57
Isambard_PrinceThey charge so much interest and fees before the account "charges off" that even when they sell it for a discount, they recoup most of what you actually spent.Jan 24 22:57
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, All the states that voted for Trump are about to get 19 inches of snow dumped on them.Jan 24 23:08
Isambard_PrinceAnd we're only supposed to get an inch.Jan 24 23:08

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, Best I can do is 19 inches of ice and snow.Jan 24 23:33
Isambard_PrinceMy dad scheduled his heart surgery for in the middle of all this.Jan 24 23:34
Isambard_PrinceHe might not survive the surgery. He probably won't survive long without it.Jan 24 23:34
MinceRdry ice, perhaps?Jan 24 23:34
Isambard_PrinceNow the storm blows in and they might have to shut down the non-essential operations at the hospital.Jan 24 23:34
MinceRthey love CO2 anywayJan 24 23:34
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, They're saying that this is the largest and nastiest winter storm ever seen. Not in terms of record snowfall on a particular area, which is still the one in 1978, I think.Jan 24 23:35
Isambard_PrinceBut because it spans about half the country.Jan 24 23:35
MinceRwe got more snow in 1987Jan 24 23:35
MinceRa lot moreJan 24 23:36
MinceRbut most of the nazis probably don't have memories from thenJan 24 23:36
Isambard_PrinceI've seen pictures of the one in 1978.Jan 24 23:36
Isambard_PrinceThe snow was higher than the cars.Jan 24 23:36
Isambard_PrinceNobody could get outside. The National Guard had to be activated and they were taking people to the hospital in tanks.Jan 24 23:36
MinceR:>Jan 24 23:36
Isambard_PrinceMy aunts came over to stay with mom and dad apparently.Jan 24 23:37
Isambard_PrinceAnd one of them asked my mom how she knew that was coming when nobody else did, because they saw how much food she had in the house.Jan 24 23:37
Isambard_PrinceAnd that's how much food she alway had in the house.Jan 24 23:37
Isambard_PrinceShe told me that oddly enough while you couldn't get outside because the snow was higher than the door, the power never did go out.Jan 24 23:38
MinceRstrangeJan 24 23:38
Isambard_PrinceThe storm apparently killed almost 100 people.Jan 24 23:38
Isambard_PrinceAnd caused $100 million in 1978.Jan 24 23:39
Isambard_PrinceWorth of damages.Jan 24 23:39
Isambard_Prince52 inches of snow fell in Muskegon, Michigan.Jan 24 23:39
Isambard_PrinceI'm just glad that I am where I am.Jan 24 23:41
Isambard_PrinceWe're only getting an inch of snow.Jan 24 23:41
Isambard_PrinceWhich is basically just a dusting compared to most of Indiana.Jan 24 23:42
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, Interesting. Most of Indiana will get hit with about the same amount of snow as the 1978 blizzard.Jan 24 23:43
