[01:52]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Gumout knocked it off with the gigantic bottles.
[01:52]	Isambard_Prince	They did this thing where they had a 12 ounce bottle of fuel system cleaner that said it treated 21 gallons of gas.
[01:52]	Isambard_Prince	Then they took it down to 6 ounces, but the percentage of the active ingredient (PEA) doubled.
[01:53]	Isambard_Prince	So basically, they made 12 ounce bottles that were "watered down" to look like you got all this stuff.
[01:53]	Isambard_Prince	But it was mostly the carrier agent.
[01:53]	Isambard_Prince	PEA, the active ingredient, works at hundreds of parts per million.
[01:54]	Isambard_Prince	Honestly, if they went to 3 ounce bottles and doubled the percentage of PEA, you would STILL get the same amount of active ingredient.
[01:54]	Isambard_Prince	This reminds me of what happened to laundry detergent.
[01:54]	Isambard_Prince	They used to sell watered down Tide in huge containers to make it seem like you got a ton of detergent.
[01:55]	Isambard_Prince	But you had to use a full big capful of it.
[01:55]	Isambard_Prince	Then they took most of the water out, the bottles got smaller, you had the same detergent because it became a gel consistency, and you only use about 30% of a capful in a large washing machine.
[01:55]	Isambard_Prince	And people said herp derp where'd it all go.
[01:55]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[01:56]	Isambard_Prince	And you see people in their 20s mostly, at the laundromat, pouring in "glugs" of Tide out of the vent tube.
[01:56]	Isambard_Prince	Not measuring it at all.
[01:56]	Isambard_Prince	Walking off while the machine overflows.
[01:56]	Isambard_Prince	There's probably so much leftover detergent from them that you don't even need any for your clothes.
[01:56]	MinceR	how soluble is PEA in gasoline anyway?
[01:57]	Isambard_Prince	It's in the gasoline.
[01:57]	Isambard_Prince	Just not at those levels.
[01:57]	Isambard_Prince	The stuff they pour in for Top Tier gasoline is literally one gallon then a full tanker truck of gasoline.
[01:57]	MinceR	also, how likely is it to stick to the wall of the pipe you pour it into?
[01:57]	Isambard_Prince	It calls for half an ounce of detergent per 20 gallons.
[01:57]	MinceR	those are the reasons i could think of to dissolve the PEA in a bigger bottle of gasoline
[01:58]	Isambard_Prince	So I'm assuming that at a maintainence dose, for TopTier fuel (4x the minimum legal detergency), you can do that in half an ounce of carrier agent.
[01:58]	MinceR	also, maybe there's a concentration at which it could be harmful and even if they wrote 'mix it with at least this much gasoline' one might worry some dumbass won't dilute it at all :>
[01:58]	Isambard_Prince	So going from there you should not need more than 3 ounces of carrier agent for the levels that Gumout is saying you use as a product for when you actively are having a carbon problem.
[01:59]	Isambard_Prince	ChrisFix on YouTube had a 17 gallon tank in his truck.
[01:59]	Isambard_Prince	I have 17 gallons in the Buick.
[01:59]	Isambard_Prince	He put a full bottle of Techron in a QUARTER of a tank and ran it through.
[01:59]	Isambard_Prince	I mean, it's not going to hurt anything.
● Jan 28
[02:00]	Isambard_Prince	I've used all kinds of fuel system cleaners, but there's really only a few that seem to fix dirty injectors and intake valves.
[02:00]	Isambard_Prince	I like Gumout Regane High Mileage, Gumout Multi-System Tune Up, Royal Purple Max Clean, and AC Delco Fuel System Treatment Plus (which is the original strength of Techron, but good luck finding it now).
[02:01]	Isambard_Prince	The Royal Purple Max Clean is actually purple, btw.
[02:01]	MinceR	:>
[02:01]	Isambard_Prince	And so is their motor oil.
[02:02]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, For motor oil I primarily use Castrol SynTec High Mileage, Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage, or Quaker State Full Synthetic High Mileage.
[02:02]	MinceR	looks like PEA can adsorb into the (metal) pipe walls but it will eventually be washed away by gasoline
[02:02]	Isambard_Prince	Because those are usually the ones with the most rebate forms.
[02:02]	Isambard_Prince	High Mileage oils have been around for a while.
[02:03]	Isambard_Prince	They're basically formulated with more detergents, seal swellers, and they're more resistant to burn off.
[02:03]	Isambard_Prince	So they sort of cover for minor problems in older engines.
[02:03]	Isambard_Prince	It's ot a bad idea to use them, even in some newer cars.
[02:03]	Isambard_Prince	Some engines leak and burn oil even when they're new now.
[02:03]	Isambard_Prince	And the manufacturer says "That's just what it does."
[02:03]	MinceR	:>
[02:03]	Isambard_Prince	Like Kia and BMW.
[02:04]	MinceR	https://img.ifunny.co/images/814140921be14da09f4d7e442aaca7bb42f16ab544722c35971a62e875a68af5_1.jpg
[02:04]	Isambard_Prince	I caught a Kia dealer using Valvoline MaxLife in a brand new Kia.
[02:04]	Isambard_Prince	I asked them why that was their bulk oil.
[02:04]	Isambard_Prince	They said Kia told them to do it so less customers would complain about oil leaks and burn offs in new cars they just bought.
[02:04]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[02:04]	MinceR	:>
[02:05]	Isambard_Prince	I just use it because I drive an old car and it's the same price as the regular oil.
[02:05]	Isambard_Prince	I had a rear main leak on one of my cars and it was going to involve thousands in repairs.
[02:05]	Isambard_Prince	So I switched to Valvoline MaxLife because they were the only high mileage on the market back then.
[02:05]	Isambard_Prince	The rear main stopped dripping oil all over the ground.
[02:06]	Isambard_Prince	I got another 100,000 miles on that engine and sold the car.
[02:06]	Isambard_Prince	I told the woman I sold the car to about the rear main seal and said only use Valvoline MaxLife and check the oil level every so often and add a little if you have to.
[02:06]	Isambard_Prince	She came back to me a few months later because she didn't do that and the engine went bone dry and seized up.
[02:07]	Isambard_Prince	There's no telling how long she would have had that car if she listened to me.
[02:07]	Isambard_Prince	At least a few years, which would have been worth what she paid.
[02:09]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I noticed Capital One will let multiple people use the same phone number as long as only one of them is getting account alerts.
[02:09]	Isambard_Prince	Capital One paid me $300 in referral bonuses for referring Mandy and my brother for Savor credit cards this month.
[02:10]	Isambard_Prince	I'm doing all kinds of bank bonuses right now.
[02:10]	Isambard_Prince	I've raised enough money to pay off my shoulder surgery!

[02:35]	MinceR	does this mean that there's not much Natural Intelligence available at Capital One, so your best bet is an LLM?
[02:35]	Isambard_Prince	Then turn around and give me $60,000 in credit lines the next time.
[02:38]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Whatever AI decides is what happens to your accounts.

[04:05]	MinceR	sounds like they're going to come up with yet another pointless 'immutable' distro, but this time with more microslop snake oil
[04:06]	MinceR	maybe users will get to suck off satan's nutella every time they boot for permission to not boot windows, just this one time
[04:06]	MinceR	and of course, they're starting long after every piece of the snake oil portfolio they worship was shown to be full of holes
[04:07]	MinceR	proving that (like every other microslop product) it provides no security, only less control for the owner or user
[04:07]	MinceR	who knows, maybe this new malware aggregate will become the new windows
[04:08]	MinceR	or maybe there will just be a propaganda campaign against everyone who chooses to use a different distro

[04:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	when?
[04:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	1950s?
[04:38]	MinceR	well, i don't think it's easy to delimit it very precisely, i've mostly thought about when it ended
[04:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	i callenge this narrative
[04:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	we are not old enough
[04:39]	MinceR	and i thought it ended somewhere around 2010..2016
[04:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	were people more sceptical and  critical when we were kids?
[04:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	or did it seem that way?
[04:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	because we were kids?
[04:39]	MinceR	during the Age of Reason, people were more sceptical and critical than they are now, certainly
[04:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	my dad and i speak about it sometimes
[04:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	he talks about then and now
[04:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	he says some things did get worse
[04:40]	MinceR	religious fundamentalists had less power back then
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	but some were always same
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	but less known of
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	now things are more visible
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	"because of the internet"
[04:40]	MinceR	both the USA and the USSR were led by people who didn't want to die, that's why we weren't all nuked into winter
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	MinceR: maybe in .hu
[04:40]	MinceR	now they're both led by the christian taliban
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	many chucrhces shut down here
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	due to illegal migreation only islam flourishes a s a religion here
[04:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	and i think it's more cultural than religion
[04:41]	MinceR	the authorities of nazi america can barely say anything without talking about yhwh
[04:41]	MinceR	putler said 'After nuclear holocaust, well go to heaven as martyrs; attackers will die as sinners'
[04:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes,, i saw that
[04:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	he is ... old
[04:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	if you were 73, like rms (soon), you would see things differently
[04:41]	MinceR	so were the people running the USSR
[04:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	i have another 40 years left in the tank, i hopoe
[04:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	and i know some who have 70+
[04:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	so they will live till 2100 almost
[04:42]	MinceR	western europe also wasn't dominated by christian taliban nazis as much as they are now
[04:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	if we last thing long... till black hole sun won';t she come
[04:42]	MinceR	nazism itself wasn't as popular before and during ww2 as it is now

[19:03]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], That extended warranty on the eyeglasses turned out to be a good idea.
[19:04]	Isambard_Prince	I have some light scratches and stuff on both pair, streaks in the transitions coating, nothing horrible.
[19:04]	Isambard_Prince	But since I paid $20 for a warranty on each pair they said I could come in and get the lenses swapped out on both of them right before it expires on May 28th.
[19:04]	Isambard_Prince	So I plan to go in there late April and get new lenses in both pair. My prescription hasn't changed.
[19:05]	Isambard_Prince	So instead of spending hundreds of dollars, I can just get new lenses and keep going.
[19:05]	Isambard_Prince	All the claims that Trivex or Polycarbonate are scratch resistant is baloney.
[19:05]	Isambard_Prince	You pay more but they don't seem to be much better.
[19:06]	Isambard_Prince	The optical clarity of Trivex is superior to Polycarbonate lenses though.
[19:06]	Isambard_Prince	So that was worth it.
[19:06]	Isambard_Prince	Anyway, comparing other ways of earning $200 to a shift with the whale is a humorous example of opportunity cost.

[19:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe in USA
[19:10]	Isambard_Prince	I've heard, too many people to be lying, say things like they took out $60,000 in student loans, paid back $100,000, and they still owe $60,000.
