Fri 18:45:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I enjoyed that ChrisFix video on YouTube where he got a broken down BMW real cheaply and he took it to a mechanic who fixed all of the engine design flaws with aftermarket parts.
Fri 18:46:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If I knew a good mechanic who knew how to correct all the problems and make it work right, I might buy a BMW. Especially if I was paying for the repairs with YouTube ad revenue from viewers.
Fri 18:46:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>

Fri 18:48:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, GM likes to do extended oil caps too.
Fri 18:48:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But if you take them off and throw out the "beauty cover" then the oil cap goes right on.
Fri 18:49:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I always do that because I hate engine covers anyway.
Fri 18:50:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, The engine in my car won't win any races, at least not in the form they put it in a Buick.

Fri 18:50:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not as much as you'd think.
Fri 18:51:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, On the 2003 Impala the dealership threw away the engine cover as part of a recall.
Fri 18:51:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They said it contributed to engine fires from oil leaking out of the valve cover gaskets.
Fri 18:51:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :)
Fri 18:51:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe they shouldn't take engine design lessons from BMW
Fri 18:52:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Does BMW have valve gasket leak problems too?
Fri 18:52:56 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ one of their famous cause of fires was that the alleged engine would spring a hole and blow flame through it, setting fire to plastic components outside the alleged engine
Fri 18:53:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and then the whole alleged car would burn down

Fri 23:00:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], The US used to be reasonably free.
Fri 23:01:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Until the early 2000s, most citizens didn't interact with the federal government very much.
Fri 23:01:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The states and cities were in control for the most part, for day to day things.
Fri 23:01:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then federal overreach into everything from transportation into basic ID cards happened.
Fri 23:02:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The federal system was working mostly as intended. The feds were in charge of foreign policy, war, currency, interstate commerce regulation, and crimes like terrorism, kidnapping, bank robbery, stuff like that.
Fri 23:02:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You had to be a really bad person to get any attention from federal law enforcement.
Fri 23:03:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now it's cheap to just surveil everyone every time they pass by a camera, so it puts cameras everywhere.
Fri 23:03:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They want to know what you're doing every day, even if you're nobody.
Fri 23:03:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They didn't have this much surveillance on the mafia in the 1980s, as they do now on a single mom driving a clunker to work at Dollar General.
Fri 23:04:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Governments that are collapsing or are unpopular become this concerned about internal security.
Fri 23:04:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They call it "homeland security".
Fri 23:06:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The government wasn't deeply unpopular back then.
Fri 23:07:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ People had arguments over politics, but people figured, hey, just put in my time at work, I turn 65 I get Social Security.
Fri 23:07:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then it was 66, 67, 68.
Fri 23:07:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now they're talking about "saving" it again by stealing another two years. If you ever make it to 70.
Fri 23:10:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Meanwhile, they spent trillions on "Homeland Security". Which made the airports so safe that last year a Doordash driver accidentally drove onto the runway at O'Hare and parked next to a jumbo jet that was boarding passengers.

Dude gets bruises by just being alive, and the embalmed corpse of Vladimir Lenin looks better than he does even though it's been dead since the 1920s."
Sat 01:17:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Regarding the bruising, his doctors say Trump has Chronic Venous Insufficiency, which has nothing to do with Chronic Penis Insufficiency, which is what Stormy Daniels said he suffers from as well."

Sat 01:27:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ George Carlin said that "Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away." and all the government does is say you have rights, then takes them away.

Sat 04:57:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "A long-term care insurance policy can help offset costs, but these policies aren’t for everyone, especially nowadays.
Sat 04:57:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In the 1990s and 2000s, when generous coverage and underpriced premiums were the norm, “carriers underestimated two things: how long people would live, and dementia,” says Rosenblatt. Now, most policies allow insurers to make unlimited premium hikes, and many policyholders end up priced out just when they need coverage most.
Sat 04:57:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hybrid policies, which combine life and long-term care insurance, are gaining traction, but they’re costly, and coverage is often limited. If you don’t want to purchase an insurance plan, consider “self-insuring” by setting aside funds each year specifically for long-term care costs. Bonus: If you wind up not needing long-term care, you can spend the money on other things."

Sun 02:50:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I wrote: Every business program that hands out an MBA is essentially an expensive diploma mill. If MBAs are so smart, how come every company that they take over seems to die?
Sun 02:50:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A few get bigger because the people running them are such nasty criminals that they thrive anyway.
Sun 02:50:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Due to anticompetitive actions and lawyers.
Sun 02:50:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But for every one that thrives like that, thousands of companies go under. Walmart is doing the same thing that caused Wendy's to fail.
Sun 02:50:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The difference is Wendy's raised prices and massively lowered quality standards in a restaurant industry that has lots of competitors and little differentiation, so they paid dearly for it.

Sun 02:52:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], You build the business by accepting thin margins, for a while. Maybe even decades.
Sun 02:52:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then when there's no options for the consumer, you squeeze them, choke them. The prices go up, standards go down.

Sun 04:49:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I voted to pass the Worker's Rights Amendment last election. Mainly because I hate the Taft-Hartley Act, and specifically the carve-out that lets states pass "right to work laws", which are designed to starve unions to death by letting people opt out of paying them, but demand representation anyway.
Sun 04:50:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So that amendment basically nullifies that part of Taft-Hartley within Illinois because it's technically the State constitution preventing the State from exercising that option.
