01:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Here's an interesting measure of inflation.
01:23 DaemonFC; In 2012, the cheaper end of a 20" box fan at Walmart was $13.88. The same box fan is now $24.88.
01:23 DaemonFC; So those have about doubled in 10 years.
01:23 DaemonFC; I haven't found a single thing that indicates "2-3%" inflation. Whatever the government admits to, double or triple it and you'll be much closer.
01:24 DaemonFC; One thing that dinosaur air conditioner does do pretty well is get humidity under control in here. I've found that on days where it's not that hot, or at night, I can just turn off the air conditioner. After a while, the dehumidifier, which has idled itself because it's in comfort mode, realizes the humidity is going up, and turns on.
01:25 DaemonFC; So at night time when it gets a lot cooler anyway, that can take over and prevent the humidity from rising.

01:31 DaemonFC; And if I could get even 10 years out of this car I'd feel good about that.
01:32 DaemonFC; The body just doesn't rust that fast if everything's off, sealed up, and you wash the car reasonably often.
01:32 DaemonFC; Where you get into severe rust problems way too soon is when people take on an $800 car payment and then realize "Oh shit, this is really expensive. Guess I won't wash it now.".

11:10 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, Financially necessary.
11:10 DaemonFC; The Turkish currency has been devalued to the point where foreign stuff is really expensive.
11:11 schestowitz_TR2; i assume those android phones are chinese
11:12 schestowitz_TR2; more so than s. korean
11:12 DaemonFC; Most likely.
11:12 DaemonFC; Anyway, Turkey has been having severe problems with inflation for a while now.
11:13 DaemonFC; When people don't trust that inflation will subside, they want more and more to no end and it ends up causing inflation.
11:13 DaemonFC; The expectation breeds more.
11:15 DaemonFC; Since money has nothing backing it, then a currency freefall is possible. If people could convert USD or GBP into something solid, like gold or silver, than they'd be more likely to accept a flat value of them on an indefinite timeline because as long as the conversion rate for fiat money into hard and tangible assets that don't lose value remains the same, the currency remains worth about the same, with minor fluctuations based on the demand
11:15 DaemonFC; for the guaranteed hard asset, but people have always been glad to take precious metals.
11:15 DaemonFC; So you wouldn't have runaway inflation under a precious metals standard. Doesn't just have to be gold.
11:16 DaemonFC; The US government "owns" a lot of gold. I say "owns" because they did everything short of digging it out of people's teeth during the Great Depression and ever since then they've let it sit there not being used for anything.
11:17 DaemonFC; That's what government does. It destroys value by behaving in bizarre and unpredictable manners.
11:18 DaemonFC; Even with no hard asset backing the USD, you could get inflation under control in a few months if anyone trusted Congress and Biden to start spending responsibly starting soon.
11:18 DaemonFC; But they don't. No reason to expect financial responsibility now when the whole thing just gets worse every year for over two decades now.
11:20 DaemonFC; The whole thing just goes to this insane Keynesian Economics thing, which is ridiculous and has proven itself wrong so many times.
11:20 DaemonFC; People laugh at "Austrian Economics" or "Chicago Economics" (of Milton Friedman), but Keynes was the worst.
11:21 DaemonFC; Proposing dumping inflationary money into the economy, and basically Keynesians believe it's not even important where it goes.
11:22 DaemonFC; Politicians like it. "We're stimulating the economy." No, you aren't. Japan is 20 years ahead of you if you want to know where that's going.
11:22 DaemonFC; 300% debt to GDP. No inflation adjusted gains in their stock indexes since 1990.
11:23 DaemonFC; Keynesian "stimulus" is like spinning your tires in the mud, getting nowhere, and then asserting that you're making progress becase the car is burning gas.
11:27 DaemonFC; If any "Keynesian" can show me by which measure we're doing well because of it, then I'll gladly apologize.
11:27 DaemonFC; Price stability? Nope.
11:27 DaemonFC; Job creation? Everyone is laying off.
11:27 DaemonFC; And surely everyone owns a house and two cars, oh wait, shit.
11:28 DaemonFC; Keynesianism is a sad sick religion, like gun control.
11:29 DaemonFC; Every time Illinois passes more gun control, crime in Chicago goes up, because they still all have guns.
11:29 DaemonFC; But even if they didn't, they have knives, cars, and gasoline bombs.

11:37 DaemonFC; Running over people with cars.
11:37 DaemonFC; You have cars.
11:37 schestowitz_TR2; making bombs is not easy
11:37 DaemonFC; Making bombs is incredibly easy.
11:38 DaemonFC; Especially the really nasty ones that mostly rely on shrapnel.
11:39 DaemonFC; It's pretty easy to adjust it to mostly maim and cripple people instead of killing.
11:40 DaemonFC; If you really hate the enemy, you don't try to kill, you try to wound, badly.
11:40 DaemonFC; A man who has been deprived of his ability to work but who lives will be an ongoing burden on his comrades, plus he'll live and suffer instead of just dying.
11:42 DaemonFC; Few want to openly admit it, but maiming 10-20 of the enemy is worse for them than killing 5-6.
11:42 DaemonFC; Once they put the 5-6 in the ground and write off what those people would have done for the rest of their lives, now they have to care for the injured.
11:44 DaemonFC; In war, wounding enemy soldiers badly enough that the enemy has to slow down and deal with that, and then their country suffers indefinitely because so many went ahead and lived is a better strategy than going for body count.
11:45 DaemonFC; The 2005 London bus bombings are a good example of why terrorism that kills a lot of people isn't very effective as a tool of harassment.
11:45 DaemonFC; If most of them had lived and been badly wounded and had to go on disability for the rest of their lives, it would have hurt the nation more.
11:46 DaemonFC; There's no evidence that simply using terror for its own sake works. If anything, it causes your enemy to become more unified and emboldened.
11:47 DaemonFC; If you're going to be a belligerent, you need to cause drastic and ongoing harm that psychologically will affect their disposition, but more importantly, causes them to waste their own resources dealing with the mess.
11:47 DaemonFC; If you can't keep such a campaign going, don't bother to start.
11:48 DaemonFC; As soon as the London bus bombings are out of the news in a week, people will go back to talking about the Royal Family waving at football games.
11:48 DaemonFC; Like it never even happened.
11:49 DaemonFC; If it starts becoming a process of attrition and there's no end in sight to it, then you can keep people afraid of their own shadow.
11:50 DaemonFC; Attrition is probably the scariest thing that can happen in a conflict for the person(s) on the receiving end.
11:50 DaemonFC; Does terrible things to the mind.
11:50 DaemonFC; But governments use it against their own citizens too.
11:51 DaemonFC; Notice how COVID morphed into runaway inflation and "chicken shortages", and wars, and a constant barrage of bad news?
11:51 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, That's why I don't watch much TV.
11:51 schestowitz_TR2; me neither
11:51 schestowitz_TR2; none
11:51 DaemonFC; It's either discs or something OTA until News Hour comes on.
11:52 DaemonFC; Stallman did say something I agree with.
11:53 DaemonFC; You could read all of the summaries in 10 minutes and know what's generally going on, but you have people like my grandmother who has CNN or Fox on all day telling us we need to worry about ISIS knocking out the power grid with an electromagnetic pulse because they hate Jesus.
11:54 DaemonFC; It just absolutely tears you apart. She has been in a constant state of panic for the last 40 years and where has it gotten her? She is almost 91 years old, and she lives in a really nice nursing hom. Probably has just a few years left, not the best ones, and she lost everything to Anderson Cooper and Pat Robertson.

17:49 DaemonFC; I loved that scene from "Community" where the guy busts in in a devil costume revving a chainsaw and shouted "GAAAAAAY MAAAAAARIAGE!".
17:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, That was one of my favorite "the left whines about literally everything" examples. The sexist air conditioning. Then you click through and find that there is a 2 degree F gap in where men and women prefer the air conditioner.
17:50 DaemonFC; Men like it at 66 and women like it at 68.
17:50 DaemonFC; So I propose a compromise.
17:50 DaemonFC; Set it at 67 and call it a truce.
17:51 DaemonFC; Nobody can really perceive an air temperature difference of 1 degree F.
17:51 DaemonFC; Even 2 is barely noticeable.
17:52 DaemonFC; And they stereotype. My cousin is a rather large woman and keeps hers at 64 degrees.
17:52 DaemonFC; I walk in there and need a jacket in the summer.
17:53 DaemonFC; WGN wrote one of their many throwaway articles about where to keep the air conditioner according to the Department of Energy.
17:53 DaemonFC; I said that since I pay the electric bill, I'll set it wherever I damned well please and the Department of Energy can fuck off.
17:53 DaemonFC; I save a lot of energy, but not during the summer. Nope.
17:54 DaemonFC; Summer, I start using 30-40% more power than the average neighbor. But for the other 9 months it's 20-55% less.
17:54 DaemonFC; There's one reliable way to get me extremely mad to where I'll start cussing out anyone who annoys me further.
17:55 DaemonFC; When the temperature in the room gets so hot that I'm already sweating.
17:55 DaemonFC; You could also point out that the air conditioner article is sexist, against men.

17:56 DaemonFC; If it's really a form of discrimination that women are engaging in, against men, over something our bodies do that is beyond our control (overheat more easily), then they are discriminating based on an immutable biological fact.
17:56 DaemonFC; Ruh roh!
17:56 DaemonFC; And the solution is, they could put more clothes on.
17:56 schestowitz_TR2; I think we should focus on tech issues
17:57 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #techrights
17:57 DaemonFC; Yeah, but it's always articles like these.
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; ukraine is OK if we focus on digtal media and weapeon "tech"
17:57 DaemonFC; They need "content" and it doesn't really matter what it is.
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; they cause angst and strife
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; tensions between races and genders
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; not class
17:57 DaemonFC; Even trying to stir up gender disputes over the goddamned air conditioner and a 2 F difference.
17:58 DaemonFC; I can't even control my own air conditioner that well.
17:58 schestowitz_TR2; A/C very rarely needed here
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; you can adapt with clothing
17:59 DaemonFC; It's one of those old units where cold is a dial between 1 and 7 and it's meaningless, because what 1 and 7 mean varies depending on the ambient conditions in the room.
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; we had the heating off since 2020 or 2019
17:59 DaemonFC; So you have to change the dial and set a digital thermometer next to the unit to figure out what any of it means.
17:59 DaemonFC; Like a refrigerator.
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; DaemonFC: temperature is also wrong
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; it's not room temp
17:59 DaemonFC; Hell, it still uses R12!
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; it's what the thermostat senses
17:59 DaemonFC; It's THAT old.
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; and when it switches off the operation
17:59 DaemonFC; ust be glad it works and hasn't leaked out all the freon.
18:00 DaemonFC; It predates the Montreal Agreement by about 12 years or so.
18:00 DaemonFC; Tells you how well they built stuff back then, schestowitz_TR2
18:00 schestowitz_TR2; Montreal needs heating
18:00 schestowitz_TR2; Montreal is very coled
18:00 DaemonFC; The air conditioner is older than me and will freeze you out of the room.
18:00 schestowitz_TR2; I was there
18:01 schestowitz_TR2; if you live in a place where clothing is enough, you can save like 1000 bucks a year
18:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, The Buick I have is like the last hoorah for a GM that was building anything right.
18:01 schestowitz_TR2; ukraine is cold
18:01 schestowitz_TR2; Montreal can be very cold
18:01 DaemonFC; People are complaining that they buy a Chevy today and it has 5 miles on it when they bought it.
18:01 DaemonFC; And within 2 months, it malfunctions and it's in the dealership every month or two.
18:02 DaemonFC; How long can GM keep going like this?
18:02 schestowitz_TR2; another way to shave off bills
18:02 schestowitz_TR2; don't have a car
18:02 DaemonFC; The only positive reviews I saw for the post-bankruptcy Impala was from people who came from owning BMWs.
18:02 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
18:02 schestowitz_TR2; and live in a place where you don't need one
18:02 schestowitz_TR2; even if the rents are higher
18:02 DaemonFC; "I owned 5 BMWs! This is much better! And cheaper too!"
18:03 DaemonFC; <schestowitz_TR2> and live in a place where you don't need one
18:03 *SomeH4x0r has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
18:03 DaemonFC; PROBLEM: When you live where a car is unnecessary the crime is 400% higher and the cost of living excluding the car rises so much you might as well have stayed put.
18:03 schestowitz_TR2; US lacks good paths and public transport
18:04 schestowitz_TR2; hostage of fossil fuel companies
18:04 DaemonFC; If we moved to Chicago the rent would double. The public transport is one way crime spreads everywhere and why there aren't any good neighborhoods really.
18:04 DaemonFC; Remember, I lived there and noticed what happened.
18:04 *zleap has quit (Quit: Leaving)
18:04 DaemonFC; The public transport is a toilet auger bringing the crime to you.
18:05 schestowitz_TR2; you could live close to where your spouse works
18:05 DaemonFC; PROBLEM: If I move there, the apartments cost $1,550 a month and up.
18:05 DaemonFC; That adds $700 a month to rent. Even at $5.59 a gallon, I pay $5.16 for gasoline.
18:06 DaemonFC; My car gets 22 mpg in the city.
18:06 DaemonFC; I go through about $100 in gas getting Mandy to work and back over the month.
18:06 DaemonFC; Car repairs averaged out to $100-200 a month with the IMPALA.
18:06 DaemonFC; So the difference in rent takes everything the car was really costing me, times 2-3.

18:07 schestowitz_TR2; you probably exeggerate the costs near there
18:07 DaemonFC; No I don't.
18:07 schestowitz_TR2; or take as reference the better apartments in that area
18:08 schestowitz_TR2; not the comparable ones
18:08 *KiKi has quit (connection closed)
18:08 DaemonFC; There are no comparable ones.
18:08 DaemonFC; The apartment complexes there are meant for people who can afford high rents.
18:08 schestowitz_TR2; not within 1 mile radius?
18:08 DaemonFC; They're all newer construction.
18:08 DaemonFC; Waukegan annexed that area recently, and so everything is new.
18:09 DaemonFC; If you move the absolute closest possible with decent rents, it only closes the gap in distance by about 30-40%.
18:09 DaemonFC; Then you still need to get down there somehow, only now you have to walk back EAST to catch the bus that takes 2.5 hours to get a 10 minute car drive to work instead of WEST.
18:09 DaemonFC; :)
18:10 DaemonFC; Thank you for riding the bus.
18:10 DaemonFC; The Democrats think this is a solution.
18:10 DaemonFC; Thank you for riding the bus.

18:32 DaemonFC; It has an interesting effect on lead readings.
18:33 DaemonFC; Lots of cities have lead service lines, but not mains, so the lead contamination mainly happens on the service lines to each building.

18:34 DaemonFC; The EPA requires that they sample houses to make sure that the water is not corroding the service line and putting in too much lead, so cities instruct people to run the tap before collecting the samples. Because what that will do is get 90% of the lead out and cause fewer violating readings to report to the feds.
18:34 DaemonFC; But if you don't actually use the tap like that, you could be bringing in a lot of lead without realizing it.

18:36 schestowitz_TR2; but that has its own issue and cost
18:36 DaemonFC; The only workaround is to flush the faucet before you gather water, and then filter it as well.
18:36 schestowitz_TR2; water is something you must take in
18:36 DaemonFC; If you use a Brita tap, this is easy too.
18:37 DaemonFC; Run cold water through the bypass for about 60 seconds before engaging the filter and gathering water.
18:37 schestowitz_TR2; it's a mitigation strategy
18:37 DaemonFC; It'll make the filter more effective too.
18:37 schestowitz_TR2; in turkey we were told not to drink tap water

18:54 DaemonFC; Going by what I was posting earlier.
18:54 DaemonFC; Those are the only two methods that work.
18:55 DaemonFC; If you can't sustain a harassment campaign, you want something that surprises and shocks them so much that they become demoralized and give up quickly.
18:56 DaemonFC; But the more you do that, the more likely it is to backfire, because they can become recalcitrant instead. More determined to fight you no matter what the cost.
18:56 DaemonFC; You have to kind of get a feel for who they are and what they've done in the past.
18:58 DaemonFC; Some people will give up and become compliant/cut their losses (pushovers) and some people become more determined to send a message even if defeating you exacts a terrible cost on themselves.

21:01 DaemonFC; Rare that it goes THAT far, but it can.
21:01 DaemonFC; Depends on how bad things get.

21:04 DaemonFC; You can change the coolant from DexCool to whatever you want, but there's no point in doing so. You have to be so careful that you don't leave any DexCool in that the cost of paying someone to stand there and transition the system over properly would really get away from you fast, and for no real benefit.
21:06 DaemonFC; There's YouTube videos of people flushing out the system like 7 or 8 times with a few of those being "with flushing chemicals", and so you'd be at it for a month as a DIY project if you know how to and you're that patient.

21:06 DaemonFC; If you're remaining with the OEM coolant type, typically you drain everything, then run water with a flush chemical, then drain, then water, then new coolant.
21:07 DaemonFC; And you can get it all done in about an hour or two because if 3-4% of the old stuff is still in there somehow, it's not the end of the world.
21:08 DaemonFC; I ended up having to get two flushes on the Buick because the lady let it get so nasty it was like someone shit in the coolant tank.
21:08 DaemonFC; The first flush changed it from brown to orange with some brown, and ended up causing the heater to fail due to obstruction.
21:09 DaemonFC; Then the next flush ended up being four hours long with Blue Devil (citric acid and some other stuff) with the heater running and the car idle to dissolve the sludge, then backflushing the heater core and radiator with a hose, then fill with new DexCool.
21:09 DaemonFC; It's bright neon orange now, like it should be.
21:10 DaemonFC; The heater will burn you out of the car and the engine operating temperature is looking really really good.
21:10 DaemonFC; I don't think that "Diane" did any serious harm. It was sludge, not corrosion.
21:10 DaemonFC; Which if anything just shows how much better DexCool is than "Green".
21:11 DaemonFC; That hillbilly on YouTube was wrong when he says nothing dissolves sludge from old DexCool. Blue Devil does.
21:12 DaemonFC; He was also wrong when he says all of them will do it at some point. If you flush the system every 5 years or 150,000 miles, and only use DexCool, it should never happen.

21:43 DaemonFC; And then there's the direct subsidies too.
21:44 buzzert; is that only for tesla? or for any EV car maker?
21:44 DaemonFC; Like Illinois paying rich people a $4,000 credit on their income tax to buy one.
21:44 DaemonFC; Well, if you make EVs and gasoline cars, you offset the CAFE penalties on the gasoline models and don't end up paying much to subsidize some other company's.

22:02 schestowitz_TR2; tesla is a symtom of the US economy
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; fake
22:02 DaemonFC; While Tesla profits by stealing from American taxpayers, Musk also says Americans are lazy as sin and you get more work out of the Chinese.
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; with tar and feathers
22:02 buzzert; ah, so all those cars on the road are fake?
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; and fake market valuation
22:02 DaemonFC; And that the Chinese government is better than ours....
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; like enron
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; buzzert: few of them
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; tesla did not sell many cars
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; look at the context
22:02 DaemonFC; It lets him work people 80 hours a week for like $2 an hour.
22:02 schestowitz_TR2; like comparing xbox 360 to all those playstations
22:03 DaemonFC; Better for Musk.
22:03 schestowitz_TR2; like 130 million of them
22:03 buzzert; ah yeah, all those actors in california driving around teslas just to pump up the evalulation
22:03 DaemonFC; People shouldn't have to prop up a megaparasite like Musk.
22:03 schestowitz_TR2; checking wikipedia for a table
22:03 DaemonFC; While he openly thumbs his nose out of the country he's parasiting off of.
22:03 buzzert; > It lets him work people 80 hours a week for like $2 an hour.
22:03 buzzert; that's illegal. are you sure about that? we have minimum wage here.

22:05 schestowitz; Tesla Roadster20082012~2,500 in a single generation.
22:05 schestowitz; wow
22:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Buick is pretty consistently highly rated.
22:05 schestowitz; 2500 sales
22:05 schestowitz; amaaaazing
22:05 DaemonFC; They're going all electric. If you have charging infrastructure where you live and can afford an EV and want one to depend on, get a Buick EV.
22:06 DaemonFC; If you have trouble, at least you can get in with the dealership and get your car back in less than 6 months. :)
22:06 DaemonFC; Tesla doesn't make such promises.
22:06 schestowitz_TR2; tesla sold just less than a million cars
22:06 schestowitz_TR2; some companies sold like 100 million
22:06 buzzert; are you seriously trying to compare tesla to companies that have been around for 100 years?
22:06 schestowitz_TR2; tesla: claims to be worth a treillion
22:06 DaemonFC; <buzzert> are you seriously trying to compare tesla to companies that have been around for 100 years?
22:07 schestowitz_TR2; tesla is young and failing
22:07 schestowitz_TR2; but subsidised
22:07 DaemonFC; No I'm comparing a company that's failing to one that will be around and service the products you buy.
22:07 DaemonFC; :)
22:07 schestowitz_TR2; exactly
22:07 schestowitz_TR2; who knows if tesla will be around in 5 or 10 years
22:07 schestowitz_TR2; or be ablke to make spare parts
22:07 buzzert; what makes you think they wont?
22:07 DaemonFC; I'd say 5 is optimistic, 10 is laughable.
22:07 buzzert; try to use facts, if you can
22:07 DaemonFC; Tesla is garbage. Total garbage.
22:07 schestowitz_TR2; tesla has been arpound a while
22:08 schestowitz_TR2; like azure almost 15 years
22:08 schestowitz_TR2; and still failing
22:08 schestowitz_TR2; if you are so small after so long
22:08 buzzert; "failing" how
22:08 DaemonFC; Tesla is like Uber.
22:08 schestowitz_TR2; you can call it a day
22:08 schestowitz_TR2; EVs are made by many companeis now
22:08 schestowitz_TR2; dozens of them
22:08 DaemonFC; All it does is lose money and say they may lose less next year.
22:08 schestowitz_TR2; tesla is just overpriced brand
22:08 buzzert; that's a subjective opinion, not a fact.
22:08 DaemonFC; Slapping them together in tents.
22:08 DaemonFC; Bumpers falling off.
22:08 DaemonFC; Door motors broken 36 months later.
22:08 DaemonFC; It's a laugh. A big one.
22:09 buzzert; "laughing all the way to the bank", as it were
22:09 schestowitz_TR2; "Toyota Corolla1966presentMore than 50 million over 12 generations as of August 2021"
22:09 schestowitz_TR2; 50 million
22:09 DaemonFC; Musk, maybe. At all the fools who continue to invest in dog coins and Tesla.
22:09 schestowitz_TR2; just Toyota Corolla
22:09 schestowitz_TR2; not all Toyota
22:09 schestowitz_TR2; just Toyota Corolla
22:09 schestowitz_TR2; Musk: we'll get to a million in a few years
22:09 buzzert; it's been sold for 56 years. are you seriously not getting this?
22:10 DaemonFC; Tesla is basically just a meme.
22:10 buzzert; half a century vs. ~5 years?
22:10 schestowitz_TR2; tesla founded 19 yeaars ago
22:10 schestowitz_TR2; not a new boy on the block
22:10 DaemonFC; Elon Musk isn't even the founder of Tesla.
22:10 schestowitz_TR2; "FoundedJuly 1, 2003; 18 years "
22:10 schestowitz_TR2; When Musk was busy lying about his "role" at paypal
22:10 DaemonFC; When he bought it, he purchased the title "founder" from the actual founders and the contract says if they call themselves the founders of the company, he can sue them.
22:11 DaemonFC; When Musk was at PayPal, it reached into people's wallets and took the money.
22:11 DaemonFC; It was illegal, but they needed funding and figured nobody would sue if the balance was small.
22:11 buzzert; wow! that's quite a claim
22:12 buzzert; the topic changed again also. i have trouble keeping up with you guys
22:12 DaemonFC; I remember people saying not to use it because PayPal would reach in and keep amending the usage agreement to permit them to take it as "fees" for whatever reason.
22:12 DaemonFC; So everyone said don't use it.

22:12 schestowitz_TR2; "
22:12 buzzert; oh yeah, "fees". that was apparently such a good idea even banks started doing it
22:12 DaemonFC; I use it now because they haven't operated like that in a long time and it's because Elon Musk is gone and they actually make money.
22:13 DaemonFC; I have never paid a banking fee to use a deposit account.
22:13 schestowitz_TR2; tens years of losses
22:13 DaemonFC; When Wells Fargo told me they would start charging me one, I had them write a cashier's check for the accounts and then close the accounts.
22:13 DaemonFC; I then opened an account at an online bank and deposited the checks.
22:13 schestowitz_TR2; bbl
22:14 DaemonFC; I'm not keeping my money in a bank that charges me $7-8 a month and pays no interest.
22:14 DaemonFC; Why would I do that?

22:20 schestowitz_TR2; they asured me there would be no hidden fees
22:21 schestowitz_TR2; and then broke their promise
22:21 schestowitz_TR2; and the money was small enough for them to know I'd likely not challenge it
22:21 DaemonFC; The Profit isn't so much the interest, as it is that nobody but them usually ends up actually owning the house.

22:26 DaemonFC; Property tax bill? Landlord pays it.
22:27 DaemonFC; You may go "Oh a house payment is about what I pay in rent." And you might be right, but then you move in and you get PMI, and Interest, and Home Insurance, and Tax bills based on however much money the Democrats want to spend on giving people heroin needles that year.
22:27 schestowitz_TR2; both are bad options
22:27 DaemonFC; I mean, it just goes on and on.
22:28 DaemonFC; Repairs!
22:29 DaemonFC; Landlords are bad, but they can actually be a lot less bad than "owning" a house, which you don't own.
22:30 DaemonFC; Even though they pay property tax, they can put a large building there that isn't wasting a bunch of land that's also being taxed.
22:30 DaemonFC; So you should theoretically save money even though they pay tax and it's in the rent somewhere.
22:31 DaemonFC; When the county assessor figures up your tax bill omn your house, the empty land around the house that doesn't do anything except get you fined if you don't mow it often enough is about 20-30% of the bill, you know.
22:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, I mocked the City of Waukegan on Facebook.
22:32 DaemonFC; They said they were starting to enforce the "failure to mow your lawn" fees in May.
22:33 DaemonFC; I said, "How much would it be if you put in a tall grass nature preserve with plants and animal life native to Illinois? The Democrats like those.

23:50 MinceR; but you get Biden Electricity via the cable
23:52 DaemonFC; That's not as horrible as Biden Gas.
23:52 DaemonFC; An electric car is still a pretty bad deal, especially Tesla.
23:53 DaemonFC; Because fuel is just one part of the cost of ownership, and batteries don't do especially well in extreme heat or cold.
23:53 DaemonFC; So you won't get the rated performance no matter where you are.
23:53 DaemonFC; Overall, I've seen 3-4 year old Teslas that were in worse shape than the 2008 Buick I just bought.
23:54 DaemonFC; And that's pretty bad that you just paid $160,000 for their highest end Tesla and so many things are shot in 3 years.
23:54 DaemonFC; It's a good thing they have two doors. It somewhat reduces the odds of being trapped in the stupid thing.
23:55 DaemonFC; You could still have an electrical failure and not be able to exit the car without breaking the glass.
