IsambardPrinceI said, "Shouldn't they just ban dog ownership then? They're always barking at something, biting people, and leaving shit to step in."Feb 28 03:05
MinceRall dogs are nuisancesFeb 28 03:05
IsambardPrinceMost dogs think that their own family of devil apes are good and everyone else deserves to be barked at, bitten, and left to step in shit.Feb 28 03:06
IsambardPrinceThat makes them even worse.Feb 28 03:06
IsambardPrinceBut they're also stupid.Feb 28 03:07

IsambardPrinceSomeone asked if defaulting and settling debts is better than filing bankruptcy.Feb 28 04:16
IsambardPrinceNot really.Feb 28 04:16
IsambardPrinceYou have to pay them most of what you spent, and by the time they consider a settlement, the cards posted 6 late payments and a charge off anyway.Feb 28 04:16
IsambardPrinceAnd that will be on your credit score for 7 years past the date of first delinquency.Feb 28 04:17
IsambardPrinceFiling bankruptcy is on there for 10, but that's only another 3 years and the underlying accounts will still fall off 7 years after their first delinquency.Feb 28 04:17
IsambardPrinceBut you don't pay themFeb 28 04:17
IsambardPrinceBy the time 4-5 credit cards charge off, your FICO score will be in the 400s.Feb 28 04:18
IsambardPrinceYou might as well file bankruptcy.Feb 28 04:18
IsambardPrinceEven with a chapter 7, by the time the accounts themselves fall off, with a proper rebuild your FICO score can be 750-ish again, then it's just 3 more years with the bk7 notation.Feb 28 04:19

schestowitz[TR2]Slob Thomas has spoken on COBOLFeb 28 05:39
schestowitz[TR2]From his linkedin postFeb 28 05:39
schestowitz[TR2]"AI has sparked a new round of conversation about COBOL, with tools emerging that claim to translate legacy code and, with it, solve the modernization challenge. It is worth being precise about what that means and what it does not."Feb 28 05:39
schestowitz[TR2]This framing understates the reality. The modernization challenge was never about translating COBOL syntaxβ€”it’s about risk, economics, institutional knowledge, and business logic embedded over decades. AI didn’t suddenly β€œspark” this conversation; enterprises have been trying automated translation, wrappers, and re-platforming since the 1990s, with mixed results at best.Feb 28 05:39

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2], I've always said that if you need to put out huge coupons or rebates, it means the price was too high to begin with.Feb 28 18:28
IsambardPrinceThere can be numerous reasons for this. Either you guessed wrong and the market won't pay it, or you're segmenting the market, you charge too much knowing some price insensitive customers will pay it.Feb 28 18:28
IsambardPrinceIf Microsoft really is throwing 25% rebates at Surface laptops, I think that starts to stink of "Guessing wrong."Feb 28 18:29
IsambardPrinceMaybe people won't pay $1,000. They wait on the sidelines, might think they get a deal at $750.Feb 28 18:29
IsambardPrinceBut even that might not be enough.Feb 28 18:29
IsambardPrinceThe Surface RT got sold off at an 80%+ discount to retail.Feb 28 18:30
IsambardPrinceI know organizations that only bought them because of that.Feb 28 18:30
IsambardPrinceMicrosoft committed itself to supporting it for years and it did everything their organization needed even though the system itself had no future.Feb 28 18:30
schestowitz[TR2]but stillFeb 28 18:31
IsambardPrinceAnd their Windows phones, well, warehouses full went to Cricket Mobile at a time when you only had reliable coverage on that carrier 36% of the time and the only reason to use it was because it was cheap and phone calls usually worked.Feb 28 18:31
schestowitz[TR2]what you linked to is like an adFeb 28 18:31
schestowitz[TR2]and it's still expensiveFeb 28 18:31
IsambardPrinceYes, very expensive.Feb 28 18:31
IsambardPrinceIf you want a little ARM computer that works fine, I mean, they have the Raspberry Pi.Feb 28 18:32
IsambardPrinceTHey even have the 5 series in the keyboard case now.Feb 28 18:32
IsambardPrinceAnd even with the monitor and power supply and the active cooling and everything, you'll pay about $200 maybe.Feb 28 18:32
IsambardPrinceI've seen the Raspberry Pi with the monitor, case, power supply, and active cooler for like $229-$250.Feb 28 18:33
IsambardPrinceSomewhere in there. There was even a Capital One Shopping rebate on ebay you could use towards a fully assembled unit.Feb 28 18:33

IsambardPrinceBefore all these new regulations.Feb 28 18:39
IsambardPrinceIncluding the medical loss ratio.Feb 28 18:39
IsambardPrinceFor a long time it was basically a free for all.Feb 28 18:40
IsambardPrinceThe more healthcare you denied, the more profit.Feb 28 18:40
IsambardPrinceBut if it gets to a certain point they have to mail out rebate checks now.Feb 28 18:40
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2], They used to pay for just about anything your doctor said you needed.Feb 28 18:41

schestowitz[TR2]still a lotFeb 28 18:42
schestowitz[TR2]it costs mostly human hoursFeb 28 18:42

IsambardPrinceIt took them over 8 years to get through medical school and do their residency.Feb 28 18:44
IsambardPrinceBy the time you do that you have almost $400,000 in student loan debt, and you're at least 26-27 years old.Feb 28 18:44
schestowitz[TR2]decades agoFeb 28 18:44
schestowitz[TR2]when the economy was... differentFeb 28 18:44
IsambardPrinceNot really.Feb 28 18:44
IsambardPrinceThe doctor that did the bone graft finished his residency in 2016 iirc.Feb 28 18:45
IsambardPrinceSo at least some of those student loans were at either the new subsidized rate of 6% or even private ones which can go higher.Feb 28 18:45
IsambardPrinceHe'll eventually come out ahead, but it will take a long time.Feb 28 18:45
IsambardPrinceRemember you can't devote your entire income to student loans.Feb 28 18:46
IsambardPrinceWhen you're a doctor you've got a house payment, a car payment, insurance on the house and car, you do have other loans. Feb 28 18:46
IsambardPrinceI mean, then you live in another world, right?Feb 28 18:47
IsambardPrinceYou get married, hopefully to someone that isn't a bum.Feb 28 18:47
IsambardPrinceLike Mandy.Feb 28 18:47

schestowitz[TR2]yyou claim it was a success that sold a million unitsFeb 28 18:53
schestowitz[TR2]never mind how many peolple bought the thingFeb 28 18:53
IsambardPrinceYeah, I've seen that before.Feb 28 18:53
IsambardPrinceThat's how I used to get cheap upgrade parts.Feb 28 18:53
IsambardPrinceThe stores would have to carry so many of the new processor or RAM modules then it all became obsolete so fast they were selling me a $300 for $10 2-3 years later.Feb 28 18:54
IsambardPrinceThings like that would happen.Feb 28 18:54
IsambardPrinceBut for AMD it was a processor sale.Feb 28 18:54
IsambardPrinceBut I'd get it for nothing because the guy just wanted rid of it.Feb 28 18:55
IsambardPrinceI'd stick it in my computer, it was still better than what came with that computer.Feb 28 18:55
IsambardPrinceMaybe it benchmarked 29% faster than what I had, so it was still a good deal for me.Feb 28 18:55
IsambardPrinceI used to do things like that so that I could stretch what I had for a few more years when it was getting old.Feb 28 18:56
IsambardPrinceWhen you're poor you can't just go buy an entire new computer all the time, but maybe you could upgrade.Feb 28 18:56
IsambardPrinceThe upgrade was obsolete so the store didn't want it.Feb 28 18:56
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2], The tariffs are screwing everything up in the US.Feb 28 18:58
IsambardPrinceEspecially prices for GPUs and RAM modules.Feb 28 18:58
IsambardPrinceAnd the spectacle of "data centers" is creating "demand pricing" due to "anticipated shortages".Feb 28 18:59
IsambardPrinceSo it's really a perfect storm, the cost of a lot of computer products is soaring right now.Feb 28 18:59
IsambardPrinceI think places like Best Buy will eventually declare bankruptcy.Feb 28 18:59
IsambardPrinceThere's no way to sell much stuff into a market like that.Feb 28 18:59

IsambardPrinceHmm, the only thing my bug traps caught this week were a few dozen gnats and a spider.Feb 28 19:08

schestowitz[TR2]so he uses other things to boast about his place in society etcFeb 28 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]and that means spending money on trashFeb 28 19:14
IsambardPrinceMaricel is who you should be talking about.Feb 28 19:15
IsambardPrinceDid go to college. Spent ALL the money on trash, tapped out all the bank loans she could get. Kept using her husband to get more until they wouldn't give him more.Feb 28 19:16
IsambardPrinceAnd now all they can do is make interest payments.Feb 28 19:16
IsambardPrinceBought a brand new BMW without caring about depreciation, insurance costs, or repairs.Feb 28 19:16
IsambardPrinceWhere they really get you with the car is insurance.Feb 28 19:17
IsambardPrinceIt's money that you're paying for a product that will double or triple in price if you ever actually use it.Feb 28 19:17
IsambardPrinceAnd if you insure a new car, you'll end up paying $250-300 a month. Not per term, per month.Feb 28 19:17
IsambardPrinceBecause they ask if you have a loan and if you have a loan, they know you don't have a choice, and if full coverage becomes too expensive, you can't drop it.Feb 28 19:18
IsambardPrinceBecause the finance company gets the letter and they repossess the car even if you're making the payments on the car.Feb 28 19:18

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2], Sometimes American Express offers membership rewards points and a 0% APR on one "Plan It" so you can make that your car insurance.Feb 28 19:20
IsambardPrinceYou don't have to actually use the 0% plan, you could turn around and pay the Plan It immediately and keep the membership points.Feb 28 19:20
IsambardPrinceIf you can't pay for the entire term but you have a 0% Plan It offer, that's one way to pay in full with the insurance company.Feb 28 19:21
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2], I re-negotiated my car insurance recently.Feb 28 19:21
IsambardPrinceThey re-rated me because my credit improved. But they said it wouldn't go into effect until April. So I canceled the policy and started a new one with the same coverages for the same time the existing one canceled. They sent me a refund check for the rest of that term.Feb 28 19:22

IsambardPrinceIt's running better than it has.Feb 28 21:53
IsambardPrinceI saw the honeycomb on the old catalytic converter. Substrate damage.Feb 28 21:53
MinceRhttp://www.jehovahgyra.com/sounds/Honeycomb.mp3Feb 28 21:54
IsambardPrinceHad them replace the O2 sensors since they were right there anyway and probably sped up the death of the last catalyst. (Degraded sensors cause or contribute to improper air fuel ratio.)Feb 28 21:55
IsambardPrinceModern cars have electronic sensors all over the place to tell the fuel injection system how to work.Feb 28 21:55
IsambardPrinceThe sum total of bad or degraded sensors cause the engine to run rich or lean, they throw off your fuel trim, it can run the engine harder or speed up the death of things like the catalytic converter.Feb 28 21:56
IsambardPrinceI had a Mass Airflow Sensor that was slow to respond, but I fixed it myself. Sometimes they just get dirty and you can clean them with MAF sensor cleaner. Very important, it has to be MAF sensor cleaner. You're cleaning a sensor, not spraying carb cleaner on a piece of metal.Feb 28 21:57
IsambardPrinceThe MAF sensor sits behind the air filter and tells the PCM how much air is coming into the intake. Even though it's past the air filter, it can still get dirty over time.Feb 28 21:58

IsambardPrinceThat's because the air filter doesn't filter everything. There has to be sufficient airflow, so they're made to filter large dirt and trash that might get sucked into the intake, but some smaller dirt particles get through, and you also have a pollution control system called EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) that feeds back some exhaust to be re-burned.Feb 28 21:59
IsambardPrinceThat EGR system serves a few non-pollution control functions too, like helping to moderate the combustion process and keep the engine cool.Feb 28 22:00
MinceRand planned obsolescence :>Feb 28 22:00
IsambardPrinceDon't ever use "K&N air filters"Feb 28 22:00
IsambardPrinceThe ones that claim they're reusable and you're supposed to clean them with oil.Feb 28 22:01
IsambardPrinceGeneral Motors has a Technical Service Bulletin about these, but they don't mention them by name. They just say oil gauze filters.Feb 28 22:01
IsambardPrinceBasically, those are supposed to be a "performance" filter. They boost "performance" because they let all kinds of shit that a paper filter would catch, into the engine.Feb 28 22:02
IsambardPrincePeople tend to over-oil them while they're cleaning them, and then that oil comes off and coats the hot wire on the MAF sensor.Feb 28 22:02
IsambardPrinceCausing it to malfunction. GM states that it might cause engine or even transmission damage.Feb 28 22:02
IsambardPrinceGeneral Motors says "Don't use fuel treatments." One of their fuel engineers says "Some work, some don't, some cause damage." They don't name names. But they sell a fuel system cleaner that's just Techron in a different bottle.Feb 28 22:03
MinceRbut then you're not supposed to use those eitherFeb 28 22:04
IsambardPrinceGM recommends using only Top Tier Detergent Fuel, which should avoid problems in the first place.Feb 28 22:04
MinceRor the one that's mixed into the fuel you buyFeb 28 22:04
IsambardPrinceMinceR, A bottle of Techron won't hurt anything.Feb 28 22:04
IsambardPrinceAlmost every car company relabels Techron and recommends it if you aren't going to buy Top Tier gas. Kia specifically says use Techron every 5,000 miles if not using Top Tier gas.Feb 28 22:05
IsambardPrinceChevron says that Techron is the same detergent that's in their (top tier) gas, just in a larger concentration.Feb 28 22:05
IsambardPrinceThat detergent is a Polyetheramine, which is one of the few that actually can prevent carbon buildup or reverse some of it, over time.Feb 28 22:06
IsambardPrinceIf you already have a very bad carbon problem, nothing that goes into the gas tank will fix it in one go.Feb 28 22:07
IsambardPrinceMinceR, It's like the constipated mathematician.Feb 28 22:07
IsambardPrinceHe had to work it out with a pencil.Feb 28 22:07

IsambardPrinceThe client being Elon Musk.Feb 28 22:09
IsambardPrinceThey want to shut down Social Security, after taking all the data it has about us and putting it in the Palantir database.Feb 28 22:09
IsambardPrince"In AARP interview, Frank Bisignano touts β€˜digital-first’ push but says SSA will meet customers β€˜where they want to be met’"Feb 28 22:09
IsambardPrinceI really with they'd go digital.Feb 28 22:09
IsambardPrinceI told them to just give me all the shit they were mailing me, on the website.Feb 28 22:10
IsambardPrinceAnd then they sent me four more letters, including one confirming that they received my request to not send me so many letters.Feb 28 22:10
IsambardPrinceMinceR, ^Feb 28 22:10
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I keep expecting them to print out the Paperwork Reduction Act and send that to everyone too.Feb 28 22:11
MinceR:>Feb 28 22:11
IsambardPrinceIf you call them on the phone it spends three minutes talking about the Paperwork Reduction Act.Feb 28 22:11
IsambardPrinceMinceR, They don't want to talk to people. If they make you listen to a robot talking about a Paperwork Reduction Act before making you wait on hold for another hour and a half and sometimes hanging up, this accomplishes that.Feb 28 22:12
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I was in the car with the person I'm dating the other night. The radio started playing jazz.Feb 28 22:12
IsambardPrinceI said "Yikes, that's like the shit they torture you with while you're on hold with Social Security or the IRS.Feb 28 22:12
MinceR:>Feb 28 22:13
IsambardPrince"We want to meet the customer where they're at."Feb 28 22:13
IsambardPrinceDead of old age by the time anyone picks up.Feb 28 22:14
MinceR:>Feb 28 22:14
IsambardPrinceIf I'm a customer does that mean I can cancel my business with this government and go to a competing government?Feb 28 22:14
IsambardPrinceI think we should have some competition here.Feb 28 22:14
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I'm going to cancel the government and go with another government. It's like T-Mobile where you can cancel and go with a cheaper MVNO that's also T-Mobile.Feb 28 22:15
IsambardPrinceThe secret is that they push all of the efficiencies that they aren't doing into an LLC that just rents time off the actual government.Feb 28 22:15
MinceRwould be nice, but they're competing in who can make their own country more shit fasterFeb 28 22:16
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Like the Chicago Bears.Feb 28 22:16
MinceRi'd love to move away from this shithole, but i'm afraid even the more decent-seeming places will turn into pedonazi shitholes in a decadeFeb 28 22:16
IsambardPrinceSaying they'll quit Illinois if taxpayers won't build them another $800 million stadium even though there's nothing wrong with the one we're still making payments on.Feb 28 22:16
MinceRbecause all the fucking devil apes want poverty and oppression for themselves and for everyone elseFeb 28 22:16
IsambardPrinceThen Mike Braun in Indiana sez come here. We won't give our citizens Medicaid, but we'll build you an $800 million stadium in Indiana.Feb 28 22:17
IsambardPrinceNothing says "Indiana" like dying of diabetes while they're building an $800 million taxpayer-funded football stadium.Feb 28 22:18
MinceRwhat the fuck would i do with an $800M stadium?Feb 28 22:18
IsambardPrinceWatch football. And even though your tax dollars went to building the stadium and letting the team not pay any taxes, you still have to pay for season passes.Feb 28 22:18
IsambardPrinceYou've got $150 a game or $1200 for the season, right?Feb 28 22:19
MinceRhandegg is probably boringFeb 28 22:19
MinceRi know soccer is really fucking boringFeb 28 22:19
MinceRbesides, i could watch handegg in a stadium owned by someone else, elsewhereFeb 28 22:19
IsambardPrinceMinceR, See, they make poor people work all year and pay taxes, for an $800 million stadium. Then the poor people are too poor and working too much to watch the game.Feb 28 22:20
IsambardPrinceAnd then rich people who don't pay any taxes can watch the game.Feb 28 22:20
MinceRdo they, though?Feb 28 22:20
IsambardPrinceSteve Ballmer shows up. So does Mark Cuban.Feb 28 22:20

IsambardPrinceMinceR, I'm so glad I don't live in California.Feb 28 22:47
IsambardPrinceFor lots of reasons.Feb 28 22:47
MinceRsameFeb 28 22:47
IsambardPrinceThe catalytic converter I just had welded into the exhaust wouldn't be legal there.Feb 28 22:47
IsambardPrinceThis car would no longer be legal to register in California because of that.Feb 28 22:48
IsambardPrinceIt repaired it well enough that it made the check engine light go away and complies with federal standards.Feb 28 22:48
IsambardPrinceIt would pass emissions where I live because they just check for emissions codes.Feb 28 22:49
IsambardPrinceThey don't do a tailpipe test.Feb 28 22:49
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Last month I passed emissions on a catalytic converter that was so bad it was getting hard to start the car sometimes and it was affecting acceleration.Feb 28 22:49
IsambardPrinceThen the computer realized after that, that the catalyst was basically dead.Feb 28 22:50
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I reset the check engine light and quickly put it through a "drive cycle" before the light came back.Feb 28 22:50
IsambardPrinceIf you know how to do a drive cycle you can get it ready to pass after about 15 miles.Feb 28 22:50
IsambardPrince:)Feb 28 22:50
IsambardPrinceThere was still one monitor that was Incomplete, which was the EVAP system test.Feb 28 22:51
IsambardPrinceBut state law allows my model year to pass with one Incomplete monitor.Feb 28 22:51
IsambardPrinceEVAP takes about a week to read READY.Feb 28 22:52
IsambardPrinceSo I just got it to where everything but EVAP was READY and took it through emissions fast.Feb 28 22:52
IsambardPrinceEmissions is special, the catalytic converter that comes with a new car has to be under warranty for 10 years.Feb 28 22:53
IsambardPrinceBut that warranty expired in 2018.Feb 28 22:53

IsambardPrinceMinceR, Some people recommend running lacquer thinner or Cataclean through the gas tank.Feb 28 22:58
IsambardPrinceBut that might not only not fix the catalytic converter, but it stands a good chance of messing something else up too.Feb 28 22:59
