19:23 schestowitz-TR2; the title is not obvious
19:23 schestowitz-TR2; that's by design
19:23 DaemonFC; They have grandiose delusions and want you to buy into it as well.
19:24 schestowitz-TR2; yup
19:24 schestowitz-TR2; it's a mental issue

19:24 schestowitz-TR2; I mention all this and more
19:24 DaemonFC; She started screaming all kinds of things. Like she'd have the state take away my driver's license and she was bragging that she'd have me put in prison very soon.
19:24 schestowitz-TR2; 2.5 hours take ages to process

19:26 DaemonFC; Her whole objective was to make me too scared to go into that immigration interview so that I'd bail on Mandy and then she could ruin his life. You know, trying to project that she had power, turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
19:27 DaemonFC; One of the ways she did it was sending Mandy a letter from her lawyer which was mostly whited out.
19:27 DaemonFC; We got to the interview and there was that letter from her lawyer. All it said was that due to unforeseen circumstances, she was withdrawing her affidavit of support. I had another one ready to file because I knew that's the only thing she could actually do.
19:27 DaemonFC; So the whole thing went through anyway.
19:28 DaemonFC; It was one giant nothingburger and she actually paid a lawyer $900 to send that letter.
19:28 DaemonFC; Which accomplished nothing except costing her $900.
19:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, When I still went to church, the pastor brought up a very good point.
19:29 DaemonFC; It's easier to "be wronged" and accept it than it is to try to get revenge, drag your neighbors into court, etc.
19:30 DaemonFC; And one reason for this is because the courts don't care. Even if Mr. GAFAM did file a lawsuit about a comment over a pizza, a judge would laugh it out of the courtroom, order him to pay for the costs, and say he didn't have time for this shit.
19:30 DaemonFC; The guy is a goddamned lunatic.
19:32 DaemonFC; As far as I can tell, the only success he's had with lawyers are because the other side didn't want to fight him that much.
19:32 DaemonFC; The Motion Picture Association of America could squash him like a damned bug.
19:33 DaemonFC; THe company that made those cheap tablets could do what every Chinese company that loses a shipment to Customs does. Change the packaging and keep selling them.

19:34 schestowitz-TR2; starting to upload part 2 now
19:34 schestowitz-TR2; give is a few hours
19:35 DaemonFC; One is to just search their name in Google and access those sites that just post it all.
19:35 DaemonFC; Most people have not suppressed this, so a lawyer can do that.
19:35 DaemonFC; You can also look at DMV records. Most people own a car or have a state ID or license.
19:36 DaemonFC; The credit bureaus also know. You can do a soft pull and just pay them to look at someone's credit reports and say you're doing it for promotional reasons.
19:37 DaemonFC; I got a letter from KIA saying that the engine might explode and they want to reprogram the ECM, schestowitz-TR2

19:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, You might mention me and the KIA.
19:42 schestowitz__[TR]; tell me more
19:42 schestowitz__[TR]; I am working on The Car Drives You -- Part V -- Part of the Coming War on General Computation
19:43 schestowitz__[TR]; "General-purpose computing and cars which the owner/driver fully controls are a dying breed that may become extinct unless collective action is undertaken"
19:43 DaemonFC; How Hyundai/KIA do the cheapest thing possible. You can't repair metal shavings in an engine and defective connecting rods with a software patch.
19:43 DaemonFC; So they just reset the ECM to display Check Engine if it detects the condition.
19:44 DaemonFC; Many people with an OLD car just leave the warning light on and keep driving it, if they're in a state with no smog test, which is like, 90% of the country.
19:44 schestowitz__[TR]; "THIS will quite likely be the last part of this series (see [cref 153518 Part I], [cref 153616 Part II], [cref 153693 Part III], [cref 153723 Part IV]), so it is a bit of an outline. We might continues the series if further findings bubble up to reach the surface.
19:44 schestowitz__[TR]; "
19:44 DaemonFC; They extend the engine warranty a bit, but I've heard horror stories about KIA and engine warranties.
19:44 DaemonFC; Like, the dealer will go "We're just dropping a used engine in here.".
19:44 schestowitz__[TR]; "Eventually," as an associate noted, "the supply of old cars will run out and then even those that have succeeded, until then, in avoiding them will have their hand forced. The only way out is to influence the supply chain. Another aspect to cover, one which is as pernicious as the software aspects, is the push to move all aspects of car use and car maintenance over to subscription based models."
19:44 DaemonFC; You have no idea if that engine is in good shape!
19:45 DaemonFC; It could start doing the same thing 10,000 miles later!
19:45 DaemonFC; It's not a remanufactured engine where a mechanic has gone through rebuilding it correctly.
19:45 DaemonFC; It's just one they took out of a car that went to the junkyard.
19:46 DaemonFC; They're extremely disreputable and pretty much flout the law and then dare their customers and the NHTSA to do anything about it.
19:46 DaemonFC; They basically got a free pass under Trump, so they never fixed anything right.
19:46 DaemonFC; Now they even have brakes that catch fire.
19:46 DaemonFC; They don't call anything a recall.
19:47 DaemonFC; They say there's a "Product Improvement Campaign".
19:48 DaemonFC; Just don't buy anything from Hyundai or KIA. I haven't seen them design anything right, and by the time you compare a 2 year old KIA to a 2 year old Toyota, it's not much different in price, although statistically you'll have way more problems out of the KIA because they always seem to have a lot of manufacturing defects and they're so tight that they don't repair them properly when they do.
19:49 DaemonFC; To escape the American labor unions, Hyundai and KIA set up their assembly plants in the deep south, and some of those workers on the assembly lines only make about $10 or $11 an hour, which is $6-7 an hour less than what Walmart pays where I live.
19:50 DaemonFC; Most UAW members up north making more reputable brands make way over $20 an hour. Like $28 was typical a couple years ago.
19:50 DaemonFC; So KIA is using the deep south states as sweatshop labor compared to that.
19:50 DaemonFC; It's how they get the price of the car so cheap.
19:51 DaemonFC; And nothing you buy that was made down there hold up.
19:51 DaemonFC; We bought some furniture that was labeled Made in USA. It was made in Mississippi, which is the poorest state in the country.
19:51 DaemonFC; The workers at that plant in 2018 were making $9 an hour.
19:51 DaemonFC; And about 3 months in I sat on the couch and heard "CRUNCH!".
19:52 DaemonFC; And the same things happened to our chair and loveseat. And The Roomplace was sending their warranty people out to our house constantly to patch it all up again.
19:52 DaemonFC; The Roomplace is about the worst furniture store ever. They make everything look nice in the showroom, charge too much for it, and then it falls apart.
19:53 DaemonFC; I got more durable furniture for a small fraction of the price this time from IKEA and Bob's Discount Furniture.
19:53 DaemonFC; Yeah....
19:55 schestowitz__[TR]; thanks
19:55 DaemonFC; schestowitz__[TR], According to a Google reviewer last year, they now have a 3 day rule.

19:55 DaemonFC; Eh, just one more thing I guess.
19:55 schestowitz__[TR]; go on
19:56 schestowitz__[TR]; I might do a part 6 about environmental impact
19:57 DaemonFC; Scotty Kilmer, a mechanic on YouTube that I like to watch, said don't buy a KIA unless you don't plan on keeping it very long. He went over one with (iirc) like 50 or 60,000 miles on the clock (my 2003 Impala has had some work, but closing in on 300,000) and he was going over all of the stuff on the KIA that was broken. He said they just don't last. If you plan to have the car for ten years, don't get one.
19:57 DaemonFC; They make it real cheap to buy, but it's an illusion.
19:58 DaemonFC; On average these days, you buy two cars to last as long as one would from the 90s, and as long as 3 would from the 80s.
19:58 DaemonFC; The later the model year, the crappier they made it. The more they cheaped out on the parts. The more underpaid and disgruntled the labor.
19:59 DaemonFC; Even GM is unbelievably bad now.
19:59 DaemonFC; They used to go over all of their cars before QA signed off on them. It was a very tough inspection process, especially for their higher end brands, like Buick.
19:59 DaemonFC; In fact, mom even bought a 1986 Buick for her third husband and it ran just fine 30 years later.
20:00 DaemonFC; He's still driving it I think.
20:00 DaemonFC; The carbon emissions of a vehicle are not just the amount of fuel it burns for the miles you get from it.
20:01 DaemonFC; 26% of a car's LIFETIME CO2 emissions are when it is assembled.
20:01 DaemonFC; If you have to buy three cars to last as long as one, did you really save any emissions?
20:02 DaemonFC; When Congress passed Cash 4 Clunkers, they disabled and crushed cars that were in their prime, and paid for!
20:02 DaemonFC; Then those people got a car payment. The average fleet fuel economy in the US went up by like, some abysmal amount. Less than 1%. And all of those cars that took energy and materials and emissions and lots of water to produce were crushed!
20:03 DaemonFC; As soon as you start driving a car, the fuel economy starts going down for all kinds of reasons, from plugged filters nobody ever changes to worn out or fouled spark plugs.
20:04 DaemonFC; This stuff is cheap to fix, but it will turn any car into a gas guzzler if you aren't servicing it.
20:04 DaemonFC; These new Gasoline Direct Inject engines are amazing, for a little while anyway.
20:04 DaemonFC; On paper, it rolls out of the dealer with 15% more power generated for the same displacement size as a Multi-Port Fuel Injected engine.
20:05 DaemonFC; But it doesn't stay that way for long!
20:05 DaemonFC; The EPA has not revised fuel detergent standards at the federal level since 1996.
20:06 DaemonFC; And if you run fuel with the bare minimum of detergent in a GDI engine, you will have severe carbon buildup about 40,000-50,000 miles in and it will be running terribly. And the solution at that point is of course new plugs and having the mechanic tear apart the engine to do "walnut blasting" to get the carbon out.
20:06 DaemonFC; That's not cheap.
20:06 DaemonFC; If you want to avoid that in a modern engine, you have to pull over at the expensive gas stations that have the "Top Tier" label.
20:07 DaemonFC; Nobody knows this, of course, until it's too late.
20:07 DaemonFC; Murphy is not Top Tier gas and it's near most Walmarts and really cheap.
20:07 DaemonFC; I can run my car on it. Don't try this with a new one!
20:08 DaemonFC; The new technologies backfire, especially on early adopters.
20:08 DaemonFC; Honda was the last major automaker in the US to introduce fuel injection. That got along really bad with US gasoline early on because there were no detergent standards then at all.
20:08 DaemonFC; It was a disaster for everyone who bought a car like that before the mid to late 1980s.
20:09 DaemonFC; But Honda has really conservative engineers.
20:09 schestowitz__[TR]; ok
20:09 schestowitz__[TR]; done..
20:09 schestowitz__[TR]; I think
20:09 DaemonFC; VW was the first one to roll out GDI in the US, and everyone that bought one suffered that too, because their engine got crapped up and VW had to pay to have mechanics clean them out.
20:10 DaemonFC; It's perfectly fine to run a GDI engine but don't buy bargain gasoline for it.
20:10 *SomeH4x0r (~someh4xx@4j9jkcntt88f2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
20:11 DaemonFC; Hyundai's THETA II engine was not GDI. In fact, I think it was a fine engine other than the defective connecting rods.
20:11 DaemonFC; The correct repair is tear it down and replace those.
20:11 DaemonFC; But the software patch that doesn't really do anything is cheap, so they do that.
20:12 DaemonFC; Given every opportunity to make things right with their customers, Hyundai and KIA just screw the customer harder.
20:12 DaemonFC; KIA Motors Finance was even in hot water for violating vehicle repossession laws in almost every state.

20:13 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.autoevolution.com | Kia Recalls 295,000 Vehicles Over Connecting Rod Bearing Problem - autoevolution
20:13 DaemonFC; You'll probably know if the connecting rod bearings are failing even if you don't get the patch.
20:14 DaemonFC; Your engine will make a horrible grinding noise while it's on.
20:14 DaemonFC; You won't miss it unless you're deaf.
20:14 DaemonFC; The problem is, once the bearings are bad, it won't run for very long like that.
20:15 DaemonFC; But whoever has that problem will figure it out.
20:16 DaemonFC; I personally witnessed two KIAs explode last year.
20:16 DaemonFC; Within a week of each other.

20:18 DaemonFC; The only reason that woman at the hotel was okay was the firewall and the hood got the worst of it.
20:18 DaemonFC; I think the metal shavings explosion issue actually killed one person.
20:18 schestowitz__[TR]; can you read the draft fast?
20:18 DaemonFC; KIA, where you buy the vehicle at our price, and get the thermite at no additional charge!
20:18 DaemonFC; Yeah.
20:18 schestowitz__[TR]; it's quick and sirty, I will improve it

20:30 schestowitz__[TR]; might want to refresh
20:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz__[TR], The link about Kia Motors Finance links to the one about the connecting rod bearing problem.
20:32 schestowitz__[TR]; where to move it?
20:33 schestowitz__[TR]; maybe add another link?

20:34 schestowitz__[TR]; will add to "in hot water for violating vehicle repossession laws in almost every state"

20:34 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-casetext.com | Jones v. Constar Fin. Servs., LLC, No. 1:18-cv-01187-JPH-DML | Casetext Search + Citator
20:34 DaemonFC; There's one about false credit bureau reporting and one about violating repo laws.
20:35 DaemonFC; "the meters/odometers have become all electronic by now (they wont last 20 years like the old generation and repairing them would basically mean swapping components)."
20:35 DaemonFC; Mine is electronic and still works fine.
20:36 schestowitz__[TR]; ok, refresh page
20:36 DaemonFC; If yours stops working you can still drive the car, and sell it, but you'd have to mark "exceeds mechanical limits" for the odometer.
20:36 DaemonFC; Then it gets a new title saying "WARNING - ODOMETER READING NOT ACCURATE".
20:36 DaemonFC; It'll be a major pain in the ass because age and mileage are how you determine the value.
20:37 DaemonFC; So you'll have to sell it to them at a high mileage price or they won't take a risk on it.
20:37 DaemonFC; "the whole plans."
20:37 DaemonFC; planes
20:38 schestowitz__[TR]; yes, saw it arlier
20:38 schestowitz__[TR]; refresh page
20:38 schestowitz__[TR]; check the fixes and new links
20:39 schestowitz-TR2; gafam video part 2 halfway there now
20:39 schestowitz-TR2; you are mentioned many times
20:39 schestowitz-TR2; and whatr it means
20:39 DaemonFC; What happens when you get a single source for parts is exactly the same thing as prescription drugs.
20:40 DaemonFC; BMW has a monopoly on brake pads, rotors, and calipers, so a simple brake job that might cost you $199 at a independent mechanic on a Chevy could run you $600-700 on a BMW.
20:40 DaemonFC; Because he has to run down and buy the pads from BMW.
20:40 DaemonFC; A used BMW might be cheap to buy, but it won't be cheap to keep.
20:41 DaemonFC; MARISOL still has payments and hers is infamous for breaking down.
20:41 DaemonFC; She bought the $6,000 warranty that gets you from year 3 to year 5, and it all started falling apart at year 5.
20:41 DaemonFC; :)
20:42 DaemonFC; With two more years of payments because she really couldn't afford it and so financed it for 7 years.
20:42 schestowitz__[TR]; yes, typical
20:43 schestowitz__[TR]; they price it to screw you
20:43 schestowitz__[TR]; it's biased, it's like casinos
20:43 schestowitz__[TR]; the odds are stacked against you
20:43 DaemonFC; They got her for $1,000 for a wheel bearing hub.
20:43 schestowitz__[TR]; home insurance can be obligatory
20:43 schestowitz__[TR]; extended car warranty is not
20:43 DaemonFC; I had an independent shop replace two and it cost me $700 for the set and labor.
20:43 DaemonFC; And that was after decades.
20:43 DaemonFC; And 5 times as many miles.
20:44 DaemonFC; They got her down there for $1,800 for four tires and an alignment.
20:44 DaemonFC; I got four tires and an alignment for $350.
20:44 schestowitz__[TR]; "premium" service
20:45 DaemonFC; Great, my Fallout 4 stopped working.

21:05 DaemonFC; The only way to live in Illinois now is to rent.
21:05 schestowitz-TR2; :/
21:05 DaemonFC; If you're in a big building where the landlord can spread the property tax pain around, that's the only thing to do.
21:05 DaemonFC; It's ridiculous. If you buy a house here, it's going to cost 4x what the same house would in Indiana, and then the property taxes will be 15 times worse.
21:06 DaemonFC; It's a second mortgage that never goes away.
21:06 DaemonFC; The state is out of control.
21:06 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, I'm just glad that the Illinois Senate Majority Leader who got the "no cash bail" law through was carjacked.
21:06 DaemonFC; She deserved to lose her Mercedes.
21:07 DaemonFC; I hope they chop it and enjoy the money and don't get caught, but you know they'll jack people until the cops finally catch them because there's no jobs.
21:09 schestowitz-TR2; renting has no upside other than flexibility
21:09 schestowitz-TR2; like, if you want to move a lot
21:09 schestowitz-TR2; but even moving is - in its own right - a PITA
21:10 schestowitz-TR2; MinceR: the less you want, the happier you will be
21:10 schestowitz-TR2; the less you manage, the less you need to worry about
21:10 schestowitz-TR2; but rental is usually ripoff
21:10 schestowitz-TR2; and you still need a place to stay
21:12 DaemonFC; It is, and every landlord knows it.
21:12 DaemonFC; So half of them lure you in with cheap rent and then just keep jacking it up until you give up and move out.
21:12 schestowitz-TR2; if you stay in one place for a long time, you can negotiate price down
21:13 schestowitz-TR2; to the point where rental isn't much more than a little profitable to them
21:13 DaemonFC; It went up 1.5% this year.
21:13 schestowitz-TR2; and they just don't want to hassle
21:13 DaemonFC; Which, I mean, the government "admits" to 7% inflation.
21:13 schestowitz-TR2; it's ghood for you
21:13 DaemonFC; And anything the government admits to that's bad, it's worse than what they admit.
21:13 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: and it's bad for tyhe rich ;-)
21:13 schestowitz-TR2; according to the rich
21:13 MinceR; schestowitz-TR2: and it's best to never have been born
21:13 DaemonFC; So in theory, yeah, that worked out in our favor.
21:14 DaemonFC; 5.5% cheaper rent in purchasing power-adjusted dollars.
21:14 DaemonFC; The landlord couldn't get away with 7% because nobody can.
21:14 DaemonFC; For 7%, maybe we just go ahead and move out.
21:14 schestowitz-TR2; social upheaval incoming
21:14 DaemonFC; The market for rent is counter-intuitively weak right now.
21:14 schestowitz-TR2; with covid they pass some new laws
21:15 schestowitz-TR2; but that does not compensate for anger
21:15 DaemonFC; 160,000 people left Illinois in the past 12 months.
21:15 schestowitz-TR2; activism needs to get off the www
21:15 DaemonFC; 5,760 moved in.
21:15 DaemonFC; Less people to rent to.
21:15 schestowitz-TR2; it's one way they control the masses
21:15 DaemonFC; Less demand puts a lid on prices.
21:15 schestowitz-TR2; riling people up over race, gender ec,
21:15 DaemonFC; It's not rocket science.
21:15 schestowitz-TR2; I covered this in my video
21:15 DaemonFC; Mandy got me some clearance XBOX controller that doesn't work on my laptop.
21:16 schestowitz-TR2; lol
21:16 DaemonFC; When I said it didn't work and it's because it wasn't meant to be used with Linux, he said he'd give it to his friend.
21:16 DaemonFC; I picked one that was specifically supported by Device ID by the XPAD driver and I was already using it.
21:16 schestowitz-TR2; why a controller on a PC anyway?
21:16 schestowitz-TR2; PCs have better peripherals
21:17 schestowitz-TR2; I'd rather aim with mising

21:18 schestowitz-TR2; and valve is entering this market right about now or in feb.
21:18 schestowitz-TR2; archlnux+kde
21:18 DaemonFC; Fallout 4 is a console game ported to the PC.
21:18 schestowitz-TR2; locked down nonetheless, at the FS level, IIRC
21:19 DaemonFC; The PC of course has better mods, although Microsoft is trying to kill that and turn it into paying for mods as well.
21:19 DaemonFC; So people strike back by pirating an older build of the game that accepts mods.
21:19 DaemonFC; They're not only killing the Bethesda franchises, they're ruining the games that already existed.
21:20 DaemonFC; They added some idiotic "survival mode" to Fallout 4 and Skyrim that makes it so your character can barely get anything else done except trying to survive.
21:20 DaemonFC; It completely ruins the flow of the game.
21:21 DaemonFC; I wish Mandy would just stop buying crap.
21:21 DaemonFC; I may have to cut off the cards entirely.
21:21 DaemonFC; So that he can't even buy lunch.
21:22 DaemonFC; If things keep appearing in this house to go in his pile of shit in the corner of the bedroom, I will.
21:23 DaemonFC; Or set up a child account and unlock that and set a $7 a day spending limit.
21:24 DaemonFC; If I'm not watching him, he's always doing something that sets us back financially.
21:26 DaemonFC; I don't like gifts.
21:26 DaemonFC; The point of gifts is to make people feel bad about getting one and not also spending money on someone else.
21:27 DaemonFC; And then people bid up the price of Christmas or birthdays and then the retailers laugh because people are always buying things that someone else doesn't even have a use for.
21:28 DaemonFC; If it wasn't for consumerism holidays, they could never encourage people to waste billions of dollars unproductively on random purchases.
21:29 DaemonFC; Apparently in 2019, economists actually studied this, and found that Americans ought $15.2 billion worth of unwanted holiday gifts for each other, and that's bigger than the GDP of some small countries. And then 4% admitted that they threw the gift in the trash and didn't say anything about it.
21:30 DaemonFC; So, since everyone is too polite to say don't get me anything, please, this keeps happening every year.
21:40 schestowitz-TR2; sqi have just asked rianne
21:40 schestowitz-TR2; she says he might be as "hoarder"
