[04:35] IsambardPrince Now, within these three things, there's a pecking order. [04:36] IsambardPrince So the worst thing is a conviction on record for molesting a child. [04:36] IsambardPrince The second worst is a conviction for anything else. [04:36] IsambardPrince The third is roughly bad credit, eviction, or bankruptcy. [04:37] IsambardPrince Bad credit is "survivable" in the sense that if you can find a place to live and work and don't mind being gouged on loans, at least you don't have to stay away from places where children are, which is everywhere. [04:37] IsambardPrince Which is why being a convicted child molestor is less survivable than just not paying bills. ● Jun 24 [05:03] TR News Communities Fear Shortage https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/amazon-ai-data-centres-water-usage-1803948 [05:03] TR Bot 'People Need Water Too!': Fury as Jeff Bezos Defends AI's Thirst for Billions of Gallons of Water While Communities Fear Shortage | IBTimes UK [05:04] TR News electric supercar https://theconversation.com/ferraris-first-electric-supercar-has-proved-controversial-a-car-designer-explains-why-285216 [05:04] TR Bot Ferraris first electric supercar has proved controversial a car designer explains why [05:04] TR News digital icon https://theconversation.com/what-makes-the-ideal-digital-icon-a-psychologist-explains-285301 [05:04] TR Bot What makes the ideal digital icon?

It works best for the worst offenders. The people who you can't do anything with them, you've tried, reform is not possible. [05:46] IsambardPrince The US has a lot more of those than peer countries because of various historical reasons. [05:47] IsambardPrince The system has a lot of built-in allowances that try to keep people from going to prison. [05:47] IsambardPrince It does not always work. [05:47] IsambardPrince First offender, less serious crimes vs. more serious crimes, sentencing guidelines, etc. [05:48] IsambardPrince The problem with this setup is that when you have so many people who don't learn from a slap across the face, eventually you give them a hard kick in the nuts. [05:48] IsambardPrince That's when prison comes in. [05:48] IsambardPrince Some people go straight there, if they did something incredibly bad. [05:48] IsambardPrince But most people don't. [05:49] IsambardPrince The system broadly tries to send people who commit violent crime and major sex offenses (like against children or with aggravating factors). [05:50] IsambardPrince But also drug trafficking, things like that. [05:50] IsambardPrince So there's different kinds of reasons for this crime. [05:51] IsambardPrince Some is economic (stole something to fence because of lack of job opportunities or whatever), some are people who are just an animal (no human mind really, can't learn anything, empty stare, blames the judge and the police over and over and over again), some have nothing to do with money (you can find rich people that fuck kids, fuck dogs, rape people, etc.) [05:52] IsambardPrince And so my opinion is the prisons should be the domain of the unsalvageable people, the basket cases, the worst ones. [05:53] IsambardPrince If it seems like the prison system doesn't try to reform these people it's because they either went directly to some horrible crime or they worked themselves there with the "habitual offender" bonus. [05:53] IsambardPrince There's nothing to reform. [05:54] IsambardPrince The most important function of a prison system is to scare anyone who knows they could go there if they do the thing, and it's also to protect the public by making it impossible for the people in the prison to offend against them because they lost their right to live outside of prison. [05:56] IsambardPrince Every nation has a prison system because we can all broadly agree that there are people who need to go there because we don't have a better idea of how to handle those people.

[06:06] IsambardPrince Who do you think paid to repair my arm? [06:06] IsambardPrince Even if they demanded premiums for the rest of my life it wouldn't cover that one surgery. [06:06] schestowitz[TR2] i see [06:07] IsambardPrince Someone always pays. [06:07] schestowitz[TR2] i don't know how medicare works [06:07] IsambardPrince Medicare is for the elderly and people with disabilities. Although there's crossover. You can be dual eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) or have Medicare and private insurance. [06:07] IsambardPrince There's a priority order of "government pays last" if you have multiple programs. [06:08] IsambardPrince Medicaid is always the "payer of last resort" except in certain cases like the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. [06:08] IsambardPrince Medicaid can usually be had if you're just broke. [06:09] IsambardPrince There are different types of Medicaid, like for the disabled, or for the working poor, or for pregnant women, or for kids in families that might not even be THAT poor. [06:09] IsambardPrince In Illinois we have a program called All Kids that covers any child in a family under 400% of the poverty line for their household size, through age 19. [06:10] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Pretty much the only people here who have no health insurance of any kind are people who have nothing wrong with them (no disability, physical or mental) and don't work and don't get it from another source (spouse, etc), have not bothered to sign up, or don't want to pay premiums, so then they get some huge hospital bill instead. [06:11] IsambardPrince People with assets should really have insurance. [06:11] IsambardPrince More than anyone. [06:11] IsambardPrince But nobody will force them to sign up or buy anything. [06:11] IsambardPrince Not having insurance and being utterly broke means the hospital isn't going to try to sue you because there's nothing to take and they're not stupid and lawyers cost money. [06:12] IsambardPrince But not having insurance and having large bank balances or a house or a paid off car of substantial value or something is another story. [06:12] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Amazon One Medical has primary care in my area. [06:13] IsambardPrince I'm considering whether I want to take the train 2 hours to see my doctor that I like, or if I want to transfer to something else. [06:13] IsambardPrince Now that the engine in my car has a major problem. [06:13] IsambardPrince I'm going to try to sell it to Carvana and see if they'll cut me a check for it, and then I'll cut my losses. [06:14] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: The shop that I normally go to is unhappy that I put my foot down and said I move somewhere where I can just dust off my bus pass, and that I was furious that they told me it was just a leaking crankshaft seal last year. [06:15] IsambardPrince I said "I propose that if you're not going to make this right you put it back together well enough for me to drive it back down here and sell it to Carvana because I am livid. [06:15] schestowitz[TR2] People with assets should really have insurance. [06:15] schestowitz[TR2] it is not linear [06:16] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I'm finally in a position where I don't need a car. [06:16] IsambardPrince At first I felt disappointed then I thought "What am I paying in gas and insurance alone, even if the car ran perfectly well?" [06:16] IsambardPrince "Which it does not." [06:17] IsambardPrince If it was just gas and insurance and the car worked perfectly well I'd just keep it since I already have it.

[16:03] IsambardPrince I'd have to pay for the engine though. [16:04] IsambardPrince The crankshaft is "walking" around so at this point it would cost more to rebuild the engine to specs than it would to purchase a remanufactured engine that was redone in Jasper, Indiana. [16:04] IsambardPrince I know of Jasper and they do an amazing job of remanufacturing their engines. [16:04] IsambardPrince But it's quite a substantial amount of money because it's a whole engine. [16:05] schestowitz[TR2] the car engine? [16:06] IsambardPrince The upside of this route is that it's a brand new engine, effectively. They took one that failed and they've replaced or re-machined all of the parts and installed brand new ancillary parts and gaskets and seals and everything, and cleaned up any sludge or carbon inside it. [16:06] IsambardPrince Yeah. [16:06] schestowitz[TR2] we recently installed a new engine in the washing machine [16:06] schestowitz[TR2] the old one worked ok [16:06] schestowitz[TR2] but they don't last long\ [16:06] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I talked to the mechanic about this.

[16:07] schestowitz[TR2] i stopped driving many years ago [16:07] schestowitz[TR2] i don't miss it for a bit [16:07] IsambardPrince I told him if we ever did go this route I'd only accept a Jasper. [16:07] IsambardPrince But it's really just too much because I have a free transit pass.

[16:10] schestowitz[TR2] no idea TBH, not my problem [16:10] IsambardPrince That's another thing I told him. [16:10] IsambardPrince I said that engine shop they use only warrants the engine for a year. [16:10] schestowitz[TR2] you would not even know if they add what you pay for [16:10] IsambardPrince For another $100 Jasper will warrant to the shop that if they get a customer come back, they'll handle it for two. [16:10] schestowitz[TR2] or what they say you put in [16:10] schestowitz[TR2] it might be new and shrink-wrapped [16:10] schestowitz[TR2] but maybe from the defects production line [16:11] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I've specifically requested part types from them and they've always put on what I said to use. [16:11] IsambardPrince It's always AC Delco or Delphi if possible. [16:11] IsambardPrince If not possible, then Denso, which is a supplier for Honda and Toyota, but makes some GM aftermarket parts. [16:12] IsambardPrince I've never had problems using a quality part. If you use something from a discount auto parts store, it may work and it may not. [16:12] IsambardPrince They might take it back or they might argue. [16:12] IsambardPrince Either way you don't save enough to risk it.

[16:16] IsambardPrince If a MAP sensor doesn't fit right, you could have a vacuum leak. [16:16] IsambardPrince It's sending the barometric pressure reading including unmetered outside air. [16:16] IsambardPrince When it should be the manifold pressure. [16:17] schestowitz[TR2] no idea, not my area [16:17] schestowitz[TR2] also not my problem :) [16:17] IsambardPrince So the end result could be that the engine runs lean and starts dumping in gasoline to compensate. [16:17] IsambardPrince Then you start smelling unburned fuel or rotten eggs or something. [16:18] IsambardPrince If the MAP sensor fails completely, the ECM knows "Okay, we'll assume a safe default and set the Check Engine light."
