02:57 schestowitz[TR]; me uploads from backup some damaged video files from 2022
02:58 XRevan86; Also for better or for worse Odysee has automated synchronisation with YouTube, which is definitely what Louis is using.
02:58 XRevan86; So it's not necessary that he even remembers that he has that set up.
02:58 mjg59_; How long *should* a company continue to produce games for hardware they no longer produce?
02:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
02:59 bagira; mjg59_, as long as they are not releasing that hardware to the public domain
02:59 bagira; or sending DMCAs for games for that hardware
03:00 MinceR; gaming consoles in general rely on an abusive business model
03:00 mjg59_; I respect that position, but it gives us many more people than Microsoft to criticise there
03:00 MinceR; it's better for consumers to avoid them
03:01 XRevan86; Sony PlayStation 4 is still fairly supported, no?
03:01 bagira; if they're still sicking their legal team on homebrew and emulation devs and ruining college kids' lives for innovating on their no longer used hardware and software, instead of hiring those kids to build legacy platforms, then it should be just transitioned to public domain so they can move on and either grow or die
03:02 bagira; we'll call it the "don't be an evil asshole megacorp to your future talent pool" law

03:04 mjg59_; XRevan86: The Horizon Forbidden West DLC was PS5 only, first party PS4 support is basically done
03:05 mjg59_; Third party publishers will probably continue shipping stuff for PS4 for a while, and also xbox One
03:06 bagira; well the PS5 flopped on arrival so that's expected really
03:07 bagira; they can't ship them out
03:07 bagira; they'd have been better off delaying for 2 years and stockpiling inventory to flood the scalpers' inventories, and then shock aftermarket sales by dropping by about a third of the price so the aftermarkets can't move
03:08 bagira; would end up with a bunch of crackheads sitting in their houses with piles of PS5's they'll have to sell at a massive loss
03:09 XRevan86; mjg59_: I see. Took a bit though.
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; re-uploading all march 2022 videos
03:10 bagira; their launch team had to have known the scalpers were going to drain their inventory and choke out the product launch and either didn't think that was a problem or didn't have the sense to correct their launch strategy
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; fun fact: our video directory is now approaching 3000 files
03:10 *schestowitz[TR] goes to make celebratory coffee

03:17 bagira; kid needed a car, he's been on foot for a bit
03:18 schestowitz[TR]; i have my criticism of it (systemd etc.)
03:18 schestowitz[TR]; being on foot is not an option in many cases
03:18 schestowitz[TR]; esp. in us
03:18 schestowitz[TR]; poor public transport
03:18 schestowitz[TR]; we have an extensive tram system here: https://www.mancity.com/citytv/mens/city-fan-surprised-on-tram-ride-to-trophy-parade-63822502

03:19 bagira; im probably closer to being in agreement with your grievances w/ systemd, but my position on it is that systemd as a whole is a well designed init and service state management system when contained to just those two functions
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; even goes to other provinces and all the way to the airport itself
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; then back 150 meters from our home
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; take suitcase etc., drag for 2 mins
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; end up inside the airport
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; or take taxi for 22 pounds

03:20 schestowitz[TR]; for one person, not so economic
03:20 bagira; yeah re: being on foot not being an option, I don't know how he was doing it, I had a period during my early days when I had to do that for a year or so to get on my feet, but with uber and shit being so common he was spending all $$$ on transport and not getting any traction because of it
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; uber is not cheap
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; uber was subsidised
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; to kill off taxis
03:20 bagira; not at that income level no
03:21 bagira; it eats up every free dime
03:21 bagira; he's wrecked/totalled the last two, hoping the experience made him a more careful driver
03:21 bagira; im not doing this again
03:22 bagira; or ole boy is gonna end up being the night walking patrol of indianapolis after i move to florida
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; bmw maintenance is worse
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; than uber
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; simple fixes, $1000+
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; even old bmw
03:26 bagira; nah shouldn't be too bad these days
03:34 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@uax6j9r5apawe.irc) has joined #techrights
03:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], So I went back.
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; cool
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; did it go ok?
03:35 DaemonFC; They aligned the car even worse and chased me out of the store and threatened me when I complained about the fact that they wanted more money for cam bolts that made the alignment even worse.
03:35 DaemonFC; So I drove to Round Lake and went to Pep Boys there and explained what was happening and used my lifetime alignment to get a third alignment done at their store.
03:35 DaemonFC; And they fixed it.
03:35 DaemonFC; Escalated the issue to corporate.
03:36 DaemonFC; Someone's going to get their ass chewed at Waukegan because of this.
03:36 schestowitz[TR]; ddi you ask about the job?
03:36 DaemonFC; The guy I spoke to in Round Lake is the regional manager.
03:36 DaemonFC; And he was not thrilled that another store had to redo Waukegan's shit alignment job and they ran off a customer.
03:37 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I don't think I could work there.
03:37 DaemonFC; That must be the reason they don't have anyone.
03:37 DaemonFC; They have one retarded idiot who doesn't know how to use a computer alignment machine that says "turn wheel.....green".
03:37 bagira; DaemonFC, Fast, Cheap, Right <-- pick two. I'm not sure which one involves "being polite".
03:37 DaemonFC; And some asshole service writer that got FIRED from Chevy.
03:38 bagira; it's the same for software and infrastructure too if that helps
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; but you could use some income
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; few people "njoy" their job
03:38 DaemonFC; He mentioned wanting to drill into my NEW strut.
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; i just about tolerated mine
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; until 2019
03:38 DaemonFC; Which Round Lake didn't have to do to get the alignment exactly where I told them I wanted it.
03:38 bagira; when clients get noisy with excessive demands i am not passed giving them that list if they push too hard
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; many rogue things happened that year
03:38 DaemonFC; bagira, Drilling into a strut because you don't know how to align the car is where the customer SHOULD be pissed and finished with you.
03:39 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Mandy might apply for the Team Lead.
03:39 DaemonFC; They'll give him his 40 hours and a $2.20 raise.
03:39 DaemonFC; AND
03:39 DaemonFC; Nobody else is qualified because they can't sell ammunition in sporting goods and Mandy has a FOID card.
03:40 DaemonFC; Because I helped him apply as soon as he got his Green Card.
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; this is al;l hypothetical
03:40 bagira; ew
03:40 DaemonFC; I got him the FOID card because I wanted to make sure they couldn't arrest him and say he had unlawful access to my guns.
03:40 DaemonFC; So now they can't.
03:40 bagira; dude don't even piss on someone's desk for a 2.20/hr raise
03:41 DaemonFC; But now he can sell ammunition.
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; 40 hours "lead" is not 40 hours
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; it's
03:41 bagira; it blows my mind how many people are in almost impoverished conditions because of what they allow to be done to them
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; 50 hour at the workplace, you stay till late
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; 10 hours commutew
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; 10 hours on phone etc. after work
03:42 bagira; yeah fuck that
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; so you work 20 extra houra
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; *houra
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; for a job title
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; and 80 bucks a week
03:43 schestowitz[TR]; that's working for 4$ per hour
03:43 schestowitz[TR]; like a chinese assembly line worker
03:43 schestowitz[TR]; for a job title vanity
03:43 bagira; i work at about 160% of the median rate for my line of work because i just say no to the financially abusive shit employers often do to people
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; they pocker the surpluss
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; *suplus
03:44 bagira; like if they even start going that direction i take an offer and give them exactly one chance usually to fix it
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; aka "value garnished"
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; *pocket
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; and don't contribute to the work
03:44 bagira; the problem with that approach is you have to be willing to walk when you do a standoff
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; they're like the man at the boat with the plastivc
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; "ROW ROW ROW"
03:45 bagira; i.e. can't bluff, some employers will call you on it if you do
03:45 bagira; gotta be the real deal when you do it
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; imho, your boss needs so know you job
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; iow:
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; if your boss CANNOT do your job, it's a phonyt
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; imposter
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; don't work for such people
03:46 bagira; that's not true in expert fields
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; bosses need to at least know all the tasks the workers are doing
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; so they can properly assess the work
03:46 bagira; the management should be good at leading and managing experts
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; SarinGas at Sirius didn't know anything
03:46 bagira; the experts rarely develop that set of completely different skills
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; and tried to throw anuka "timetracker" at us
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; only disrupting actual work
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; iirc
03:47 bagira; it's easier to find good software/systems managers at banks than it is in software/systems shop floors
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; in the past, distance past
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; say, 50 years ago
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; managers were technical
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; then came "class of MBAs"
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; people started to be managed by people who know nada
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; and just make "powerpoint presentations"
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; asseting the work and success of the tech is credited to the presentation
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; don't work for companies like these
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; last october I fierecely confronted my boss over the phone
03:48 bagira; look, about 1 in 10 software devs does the work of about 4-6 good devs with higher quality results. That person is almost never good at leading people.
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; several times for almost an hour
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; he was a liar and phony
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; bagira: leading takes time
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; and diplomacy
03:49 bagira; alot of places make the mistake of promoting their best engineering or architecture resources
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; productive workers just do productive work
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; bagira: yes, and then nothing gets done
03:49 bagira; and they then wonder why their qa is falling apart and people are leaving over toxic environments
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; they conflate technical work with leadership
03:50 bagira; yep they get a manager that complains about their team's quality all day, or a micromanager, or someone who is exhausting themselves because they don't know to shut off their access to the codebase
03:51 bagira; the worst is when you get one of those in and they start changing up the team roster and replacing people

03:52 schestowitz[TR]; <bagira> the worst is when you get one of those in and they start changing up the team roster and replacing people
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; misuse of knowledge work
03:52 bagira; the unwritten rule is that you don't promote your best dev to manager. you promote them to team lead, and only if it's to keep them around.
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; when you give mechanical work to techs
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; 1) they hate it
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; 2) they can do higher value work
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; 3) you can hire people for less to do it
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; bagira: my sister became team lead and thus overworked
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; and stressed
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; i told her not to do it
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; she says the title can help her get similar position in another company
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; but that's a false assumption
03:54 bagira; yeah the aspiring ladder climber should only take that role if they plan on changing companies in two years to transition to a formal leadership role
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; it's like saying if you change from cook to senior cook, whatever that is, it'll be worth a buck more per hour
03:55 bagira; the technical track doesn't lead to that but the experience of leading the team can be used as a springboard
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; and some average workplace won't ask you to do the dishes
03:55 bagira; i wouldn't do the dishes
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; leading a team typically means doing less
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; "leading" is not a technical task
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; it's "politics"
03:55 bagira; that's how it's supposed to be
03:55 bagira; rarely is
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; so you miss out on experience
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; like,
03:56 schestowitz[TR]; "i am s/w dev... know how to draw up shift pattern"
03:56 schestowitz[TR]; "i am a cook, know how to lock the door when it's 9pm"
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; "i am a secretary, know how to plead for vacant lecture room"
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; a coder does not know how to manage an office
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; that's someone else's job
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; leave it to them
03:57 bagira; yeah a good s/w manager will be familiar with the work, they should have at least spent some time on a dev team to be familiar with the types of problems that get dealt with so they have a frame of reference, but their core skill is personnel management
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; things like,
03:57 bagira; better to look at arby's than google
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; calling a cleaner
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; doing payroll
03:57 schestowitz[TR]; why study that??
03:58 schestowitz[TR]; speaking of myself:
03:58 schestowitz[TR]; i can deal with a variety of tasks
03:58 schestowitz[TR]; sysadmin, coding, some irc, some writing, link curation
03:58 schestowitz[TR]; rianne does most of the cooking
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; (when she's not on holiday)
03:59 bagira; irc is almost irrelevant these days in sys and s/w
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; and she deals with the post that comes in
03:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; irc requires some admin
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; backup of user DB
03:59 bagira; if you go the sys route you have to learn some technical writing, and the core platforms and os's you'll be dealing with
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; system updates, logs..
04:00 bagira; basic design principles at the senior level of both tracks
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; gulag wanted to hire me as technical writer
04:00 bagira; these days they need some devops exposure
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; that was around 2008
04:00 bagira; most devs get hung up on that last couple of bits
04:01 bagira; not the devops piece but the technical writing and the design principles
04:01 bagira; they think just making some bullshit diagram that doesn't have anything in it and talking lofty about patterns and paradigms is remotely involved in that
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; uml?
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; do they still teach that in cs?
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; the "cloud" thing became a real term
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; DBs are stack of cans
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; and placeholders became a thing
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; "the clown"
04:02 bagira; just try telling a javascript developer who is 12 years in that "factory method" isn't part of a distributed system design
04:03 schestowitz[TR]; one colleague used to make diagrams of things
04:03 bagira; no almost no one uses UML these days
04:03 schestowitz[TR]; of course nobody but him made use of it
04:03 schestowitz[TR]; maybe something to show to clueless "suits" in clients
04:03 bagira; they're coming out of graduation with the belief they need to know it and then being laughed at the first few times they try to introduce it
04:03 schestowitz[TR]; "look! an abstract picture for dumb-ass managers who never wrote a line of code"
04:04 schestowitz[TR]; time-wasting
04:04 schestowitz[TR]; months later the systems change
04:04 schestowitz[TR]; and the diagrams are out of date
04:04 schestowitz[TR]; but "managers" like pictures
04:04 schestowitz[TR]; for their "powerpoint presentation"
04:04 schestowitz[TR]; not code
04:05 bagira; the problem with diagrams in design is that alot of devs think that the diagram is the design but it's not. it's an artifact in an ongoing design cycle. they confuse designing in that way with "waterfall" methodologies, and then their own error leads to them pretending that skipping design is "agile"
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; the diagrma come later
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; typically
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; to "document" what already runs
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; it's hard to decide upfront everything
04:05 bagira; yep until shit hits the fan with contract management or sales
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; and if you insist on the "design", you make bad choices
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; to stick to the "design'
04:06 bagira; good design is a cyclic process with feedback loops fed from various parts of the org
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; and speak to geeks
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; toss MBAs in the bin room
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; they are obstruction
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; they have one goal
04:06 bagira; yeah managers need high level updates and should not be involved in technical decisions
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; one goal _only_
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; to make themselves _seem_ necessary
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; e.g. micromanagement
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; http://techrights.org/2023/04/30/lscth-on-epo-micromanagement/
04:07 TR Bot; The Same Mismanagement and Micromanagement (Stalking/Bullying) That Caused the Suicide Wave Under Benot Battistelli | Techrights
04:07 bagira; their purpose to me is to ensure the team is delivering and to hire and fire the people i pick out to get us there
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; they are the idiots who force people back to "the office"
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; evven if workers are vastly more productive working from home
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; ipfs running well today https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVA4areAp8qhYxiNP5xuAYP83kX1fn7tWWmJvxaWquq8J
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; it was a bit laggy last night
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, "IT" is in crisis
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; it is one of SEVERAL crises atm
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; among them
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; -TOO many companies have DEBT
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; (inc. Sirius
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; - the DEBT is GROWING
04:09 bagira; sure it is, we flooded that workforce with entitled narcissists that don't want to do the work involved in what they do and expect huge salaries without being able to perform
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; (they operate at a loss, they don't think ahead, they SHOW OFF)
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; -the decisions are made by total posers
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; (like "the clown")
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; -the "customers" aren't listened to
04:09 *TechrightsBot-tr has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; (when did Twitter do what USERS wanted rather than advertisers etc)
04:09 bagira; more than half of them can barely use the tools of their "specialization"
04:10 *TechrightsBot-tr (~TR@ju4kayhrhsm6a.irc) has joined #techrights
04:10 TechrightsBot-tr; Hello World! I'm TechrightsBot-tr running phIRCe v0.77
04:10 schestowitz[TR]; <bagira> sure it is, we flooded that workforce with entitled narcissists that don't want to do the work involved in what they do and expect huge salaries without being able to perform
04:10 schestowitz[TR]; case of point:
04:10 bagira; this is how you end up with folks who hopped and ended up at debian or google to do work in the security space without knowing what a security control is or how they're used in the EISA design

04:11 schestowitz[TR]; and bag 200k a year
04:11 schestowitz[TR]; for nothing
04:11 bagira; she shoulda kept her mouth shut and built a side company
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; "My Instagram Story got me fired"
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; no,
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; your idiocy got you fired
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; that's the "IT industry" in a nutshell
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; many dead weights
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; for no real purpose
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; i saw some "news sites" that list 50 staff
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; can barely make 5 stories per day
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; so what are they doing all day?
04:13 schestowitz[TR]; 10 people to work on one story per day??
04:13 bagira; like if i realized i had a position where i will never have to do any work and got paid 200k to just breathe where I want, I'd be stacking and flipping houses pronto, working multiple gigs, and retiring a decade early
04:13 *schestowitz[TR] back to news links
04:14 bagira; hell i would even consider going back to school
04:15 schestowitz[TR]; adults "going back to school" in the US typically meant going in with a rifle to settle scores

04:43 schestowitz[TR]; which one had the opening?
04:43 DaemonFC; Pep Boys Waukegan.
04:43 DaemonFC; Fuck them.
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; i protested a lot when sirius asked colleagues to lie to clients
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; i never lied to clientrs
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; but some colleague did
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; because management told them to
04:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], They WERE a good store when they had the retail side and just 4 years ago.
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; and they protested it
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; I'd rather leave than lie
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; i evern protested this in irc
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; many times
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; before leaving
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; months earlier
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; eventually tyhey noticed
04:44 DaemonFC; They gave me a great deal on tires, aligned the car correctly. Sold me an AGM battery at a good price. First one crapped out but they replaced it and smiled and said "That's why we include a battery warranty!". Second one is still okay on that car.
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; because gulagboy doxed me, i suspect
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; but he also hurt rianne
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; he's a sociopath, mysogynist, homophobe, transphobe
04:45 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I've seen other people now talking about getting fucked bad at chain shops with an alignment rack.
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; you can be sure he also said homophobic shit when he was in cambridge u
04:45 DaemonFC; Either they halfass it and get it "close" and call it a day.
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; homophobe, transphobe
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; hired by gulag
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; to troll people in their irc networks
04:45 DaemonFC; Or they don't do shit and then fudge the numbers on a report and then charge you $100.
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: car repair shops lie
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; it's common knowledge
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; better get the parts
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; and learn how to add them
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; without breaking something else
04:46 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Many do. Some don't.
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; to bring in more "work"
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: good luck finding which is which..
04:46 DaemonFC; If you find an honest one, take it there unless it gets a new manager and goes into the shitter.
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; it'
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; it's another reason I hate cars
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; I won't even give my laptop to a repair shop
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; or pass it through borders
04:47 DaemonFC; Yeah, because they bill you for things they don't even do.
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; who knows what they might do
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; see Hunter Biden
04:47 DaemonFC; Or they break things and say it was already broken.
04:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The second Pep Boys, the one that FIXED my alignment, recommended a coolant flush and a transmission service. When I called them back I said "I just did a coolant change last week and the transmission was serviced last year."
04:48 DaemonFC; He goes "Oh yeah, the computer just spits those out by mileage. You can ignore that if you've already had it done recently."

04:50 DaemonFC; Eh, it's not like he's going to dig down to the engine to see that.
04:51 DaemonFC; It didn't have any codes at the time.
04:51 DaemonFC; The main problem initially was badly neglected coolant.
04:51 DaemonFC; I failed to appreciate just how bad.
04:51 DaemonFC; And what would have to be done to get the system working okay again.
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; the whole car is a mess
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; you buy a whyole new car
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; piece-wise
04:52 schestowitz[TR]; a goosd second-hand car might run ok for 2 years
04:52 DaemonFC; That's how every used car does you.
04:52 schestowitz[TR]; no repairs
04:52 schestowitz[TR]; this car is a pile of technical debt
04:52 schestowitz[TR]; oflfloading by shaq cheaply
04:52 schestowitz[TR]; "it's cheap for a reason"
04:52 DaemonFC; Yeah, well.
04:52 schestowitz[TR]; you still pay in installment
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; initial payment was 7-8k
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; then 500 a month
04:54 schestowitz[TR]; that's like, what? a qyarter of mandy's income?

04:55 schestowitz[TR]; goes to work
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; earns money
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; to pay for car
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; to get to work
04:55 DaemonFC; The guy laughed and handed it back to me with a major toe out problem that I didn't come in with.
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; no savings
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; or barely any
04:55 DaemonFC; Thank god there was a district manager by chance at a store two miles away that fixed it and chewed ass over at the other store.
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; "want a credit card?"
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; also see: apple
04:56 DaemonFC; "You could take it to a blind person with no machine and have them turn things to random positions and get a better alignment job than Pep Boys."
04:56 TR News; Elitist Apple, run by whites and rich people, pandering to the people they're MOCKING www.usnews.com/news/technology/articles/2023-06-14/apple-adds-25-million-venture-capital-commitment-for-minority-owned-businesses
04:56 DaemonFC; From my review of the Waukegan store.
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; Apple Adds $25 Million Venture Capital Commitment for Minority-Owned Businesses
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; 25 million
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; lots of money
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; Creepy Uncle Bill says he wants to help
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; Xi
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; with "health"
04:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], At this point I'm just glad they fixed it EVENTUALLY.
04:57 DaemonFC; I probably did need the cam bolts.
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; while helping Epstein trafffic litrtle girls
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; to get "little blow jobs"
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, offer xi only a few millions
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; for "health"
04:57 DaemonFC; Because the Chevy dealer couldn't get it dead on accurate with their machine and the factory bolts.
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; to undercut bliken
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; fancies himself US foreign secretary of usa
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; "no election necessary"
04:58 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], My guess is the suspension or frame is a little worn and needs more forgiving camber bolts than OEM to get a perfect alignment.
04:58 schestowitz[TR]; "got 3 jets, will travel"
04:58 schestowitz[TR]; ":except when I want little girls"
04:58 DaemonFC; IT wasn't out of spec with the factory bolts at Chevy, but it was not ideal.
04:58 schestowitz[TR]; "then I hitch Jeffrey's plane"
04:58 schestowitz[TR]; "and leave mine parked"
04:58 DaemonFC; It's not THAT outrageous that a 16 year old car is going to need aftermarket cam bolts in the back with brand new struts.
04:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; you invest in new parts
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; for a very old car
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; it'll be in a junkyark in a few years
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; all those new parts
04:59 DaemonFC; Yeah, mom's 2003 Impala is working fine.
04:59 DaemonFC; I went through this mess with that car too.
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; you heard buick
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; thought you'd impress some dudes
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; wasted money
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; and now you need money
05:00 schestowitz[TR]; and mandy does not qualify for partial unemployment
05:00 schestowitz[TR]; impulsive buying
05:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I told him apply for team lead. Mention to the boss that he has something they need that others don't have.
05:00 schestowitz[TR]; and you cannot get yourself to admit this
05:00 DaemonFC; The position requires a FOID card to sell ammo.
05:00 schestowitz[TR]; now you have expensive old car
05:00 DaemonFC; He has one.
05:00 schestowitz[TR]; to drive mandy to 4-hour shifts
05:00 schestowitz[TR]; that barely bring in 60% net
05:00 schestowitz[TR]; %60
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; $60
05:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I haven't had to drive him to any four hour shifts.
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; GB keyboard
05:01 DaemonFC; He's either called in or used PPTO.
05:01 DaemonFC; Err, PTO.
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> The position requires a FOID card to sell ammo.
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; it's not his position
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; this is all hypothetical
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; walktons cut costs
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; for higher profits
05:01 DaemonFC; Well, how are they going to give the position to anyone else?
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; and they probably want someone with better English
05:01 DaemonFC; Nobody but him has a FOID card and that's a dealbreaker.
05:01 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> He's either called in or used PPTO.
05:02 schestowitz[TR]; i'm sure he can do that for 10 more years
05:02 DaemonFC; I don't think that it's going to go on like this too long.
05:02 schestowitz[TR]; many people in ILL have FOID cards
05:02 schestowitz[TR]; and many crave a job
05:02 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, biab
05:02 DaemonFC; If this is going on well into July I'll start to be uneasy.
05:02 schestowitz[TR]; well, you have a kid to feed
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; it's called buick
05:03 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> many people in ILL have FOID cards
05:03 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> and many crave a job
05:03 DaemonFC; Not enough to work at Pep Boys I guess.
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; something is rotten
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; like sirius 'jobs
05:03 DaemonFC; They have one guy back there to take 4 hours to get to your alignment, fake it, make it worse, and throw your keys back.
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; they cannot fill them
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; because they're corrupt
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; and people won't work for them
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; I heard from several candidates
05:03 schestowitz[TR]; they lost interest after applying for the positions
05:04 schestowitz[TR]; everyone is leaving the company
05:04 schestowitz[TR]; the jobs ads don't say THQAT
05:04 schestowitz[TR]; biab
05:04 DaemonFC; You think they get someone and they realize it's a corrupt shop, and it's not just the corruption. They're being treated like shit on top of the things they're being told to do to people until only the worst peopl remain>
05:05 DaemonFC; I suppose that's a working theory for why the dirty shop (Pep Boys Waukegan) can't get anyone.
05:05 TR News; The quantity and quality of "LINUX" material on the WWW is declining AND deteriorating, respectively
05:05 TR News; WWW has no viable future
05:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I might offer to take a look at Shaq's alignment machine.
05:05 DaemonFC; I might be able to get it working again.
05:05 TR News; The WWW may be around for another 10 years. Not too clear about longer than that...
05:06 DaemonFC; I'd probably ask to be paid in shop credit or something for a job that needs done on the car. Get it in writing that I have the credit, you know.
05:06 schestowitz[TR]; you lack experience
05:06 schestowitz[TR]; you never works in car agencies before
05:06 schestowitz[TR]; and you must compete
05:06 DaemonFC; I can make a Windows XP machine that had a hard drive crash work again most likely.
05:06 schestowitz[TR]; it's not like "oh, i want this job" "YES! ACCEPTED!"
05:06 DaemonFC; That's what happened.
05:07 DaemonFC; They lost Windows XP and their alignment program because of a hard disk crash.
05:07 schestowitz[TR]; and you have expunged record with the police
05:07 DaemonFC; An expunged record is gone.
05:07 schestowitz[TR]; no
05:07 schestowitz[TR]; it's expunged
05:07 mjg59_; The entire point of the records being expunged is that it can't affect employment
05:07 DaemonFC; Expunged means gone in Illinois.
05:07 DaemonFC; Even the court can't pull it up. Destroyed.
05:07 mjg59_; Still allowed to talk about the fact that it happened though, thanks to the 1st amendment
05:08 DaemonFC; In California, it's different.
05:08 DaemonFC; You can get an expungement but people can still see it.
05:08 DaemonFC; The only thing that actually changes in California is that there's a note that says they can see it but they can't discriminate. But they know it happened.
05:08 DaemonFC; That's what Roy is thinking about.
05:08 schestowitz[TR]; you could keep your old impala and have budget for 12 months in the bank
05:08 DaemonFC; But Illinois isn't California.
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; and be less tight
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; iMpulsive Buying
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; (Apple
05:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Yeah. It was an ugly little bitch but it always got me around.
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; savings are freedom
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; freedom is... well, freedom
05:10 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I'm looking into buying a Chevy.
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; many people don't get freedom
05:10 DaemonFC; A 1968 Chevy.
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; they mistake it for something else
05:10 DaemonFC; Not for me, not with my money.
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; like, "got car"
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; "got pistol"
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; "bunker"
05:10 DaemonFC; Mom's friend at church asked me to investigate a 1968 C50 as a potential work truck.
05:10 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> Still allowed to talk about the fact that it happened though, thanks to the 1st amendment
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; RMS spoke about this in the 90s
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, it's still in WIRED mag
05:11 DaemonFC; Well, if you don't have any proof that it happened then it's defamation.
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; which is BTW a dead publication now
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; of Conde Nasty
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; they killed it off
05:11 DaemonFC; Without a record, you're unlikely to get proof unless you already knew.
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; startred reposting Ars drpizza there
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> Well, if you don't have any proof that it happened then it's defamation.
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; no
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; it's defamation if
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; 1) it's false
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; 2) you knew it was false
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; 3) you spread it anyway
05:12 DaemonFC; Well, if the court doesn't even have records about it...
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; you are projectingf what you want to believe
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; into this expungement thing
05:12 DaemonFC; Defamation also says it has to be actually harmful.
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; no
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; that's for damage calculation
05:13 DaemonFC; Like, if I sum up what someone says but summing it up is basically correct and didn't harm them, then they'd have a hard time getting anything.
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; if gulagboy cannot get a real job
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; because TR exposed many bad things he did
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; and TR said true things
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; that it knew were true
05:14 mjg59_; Also a bunch of lies
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; then it doesn't matter if he loses a billion dollars in potential income
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; that's 1st am
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; which he does not understand
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; nor tolerate
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; he toook us citizenship for one reason:
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; MONEY
05:14 mjg59_; I understand that the 1st amendment doesn't apply in the UK
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; trump: people I know go to africa to make money
05:14 mjg59_; But also US citizenship costs me money in the long run
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; (paraphrasing trumpo)
05:14 DaemonFC; He took US citizenship as a form of hedging his bets.
05:15 XRevan86; schestowitz: Ye can disable autoplay in Odysee via the settings button on the player panel.
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; gulagboy left uk &* ireland for money
05:15 DaemonFC; The same reason anyone gains another citizenship and doesn't revoke the old one.
05:15 mjg59_; I now have a lifetime obligation to file US taxes, which wouldn't be the case if I'd stayed as a permanent resident
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; compensating for things he lacks
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; like 30 pounds
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; (not the currency)
05:15 DaemonFC; mjg59_, You also wouldn't have had to say you agree to defend the US Constitution and then say there shouldn't be a US constitution.
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; XRevan86: i did not know
05:15 mjg59_; That's not a thing I said
05:16 schestowitz[TR]; biab
05:16 DaemonFC; You said the first and second amendments are unfortunate.
05:16 schestowitz[TR]; chatting there to people I cannot see
05:16 mjg59_; No, I said that there were some things that the 1st amendment permits that are unfortunate
05:16 DaemonFC; Same thing.
05:16 DaemonFC; Either you agree with it or you don't agree with it. If you don't, get out.

05:17 mjg59_; I quite clearly agree with it?
05:17 DaemonFC; I never actually swore an oath because I inherited citizenship from my parents.
05:17 DaemonFC; I never had to say I agreed with it and would defend it all.
05:17 TR News; Oddly enough, patching Debian 11 some hours ago resulted in Mumble losing some settings, but Murmur is still there like before.
05:17 mjg59_; You just keep having arguments with a version of me that you've made up
05:17 DaemonFC; Also, there are cases they can revoke your citizenship and send you back.
05:18 DaemonFC; They can never take mine.
05:18 mjg59_; And I can never be elected president
05:18 DaemonFC; So you're not exactly the same kind of citizen. There are different types.
05:18 TR News; Having said that, it is a NEWER version of Mumble and security matters a LOT with voice chat.
05:19 DaemonFC; I would be in favor of amending the Constitution to say "If the person has renounced all other citizenship and has been a US citizen for 20 years or more."
05:19 mjg59_; DaemonFC: There are cases where your citizenship could be revoked
05:19 DaemonFC; As far as Presidential qualifications.
05:19 DaemonFC; The Arnold Exception.
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; confronting fools with words is always better than muzzling
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; death threats covered by other laws
05:19 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> DaemonFC: There are cases where your citizenship could be revoked
05:19 DaemonFC; No there aren't.
05:19 mjg59_; Sure there are. They all depend on you having another citizenship as well.
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; "shout fire in theatre" and all that
05:19 DaemonFC; The US Supreme Court has ruled that you can't strip a natural born US citizen of citizenship.

05:20 DaemonFC; The Communist Control Act came after that ruling and is therefore unconstitutional as it pertains to citizenship stripping, well, for me anyway.
05:20 DaemonFC; I could become a Communist Party member and they couldn't do much.
05:20 DaemonFC; They could deport you.
05:20 mjg59_; For instance, you can voluntarily renounce your citizenship, which triggers revocation of your citizenship
05:20 DaemonFC; That would be voluntary.
05:21 DaemonFC; Citizenship stripping is not voluntary.
05:21 DaemonFC; It's a punishment.
05:21 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Fun fact, in Ukraine there's no such requirement, one has to live in Ukraine for 10 years and know the state language.

05:21 DaemonFC; You also can't renounce your citizenship from within the United States.
05:21 XRevan86; In Russia one has to never have had any other citizenship.
05:22 DaemonFC; And since I don't have a passport it means I can't renounce my citizenship because I have no legal way of reaching a US embassy in another country.
05:22 DaemonFC; So mjg59_ is wrong again.
05:22 XRevan86; And Russian citizenship can't be renounced at all, if I understand it correctly.

05:23 DaemonFC; I suppose I could sneak across the border into Canada, illegally, find my way to an Embassy, surrender my citizenship, and become stateless and illegally present in Canada.
05:23 TR News; Gemini is a meal. WWW in 2023 is some food (5kB) with a swamp around it (5MB of crap).
05:23 DaemonFC; But they could still deport me to the United States, which would likely accept me. Then I'd be stuck in the United States. They couldn't deport me but I'd have no right to do anything here.
05:24 TR News; "Paragraph support in vi(1) is weird, like much else. For one, formfeed characters in the first column delimit paragraphs.

05:24 mjg59_; 05:19 < mjg59_> Sure there are. They all depend on you having another citizenship as well.
05:24 DaemonFC; Just because you become stateless in Canada doesn't mean you're staying in Canada when they find you.

05:53 DaemonFC; "The Waukegan store has customers waiting in line for the "alignment" and god knows what they're actually driving off with.
05:53 DaemonFC; Who gets an alignment and thinks to check the alignment somewhere else unless they just got completely screwed and their wheel is so cockeyed you can't miss how badly this handles? Like what Waukegan Pep Boys did to my car.
05:53 DaemonFC; I asked the manager at Round Lake Pep Boys what they did differently and he said "Aligned the car correctly."
05:53 DaemonFC; The implication of the Round Lake manager saying that they "aligned it right" is that either the alignment machine is broken or misconfigured in Waukegan and/or they have Beavis and Butt-Head doing car alignments back there. Or both.
05:53 DaemonFC; When I say Beavis and Butt-Head I mean I feel like their poor neighbor Mr. Anderson who always had the misfortune of "encountering" them everywhere he went.
05:53 DaemonFC; They have a lot of open job positions at that store. They probably treat people like shit and tell them to do dirty things to the customers until they can't stand it anymore and quit.
05:53 DaemonFC; (I had a friend who worked at a Jiffy Lube and they fired him on his first day for refusing to superglue a taillight assembly and bill the customer for a new one.)"

05:57 DaemonFC; Here we get to the "I'm an idiot so I'll blame everything and everyone around me, including your car, you and the strut you just got installed."
05:57 DaemonFC; (He would have had just as much trouble with an AC Delco as well, since the Monroe ones have a great reputation for measuring exactly like new OE parts. That's why I used them!)

06:18 schestowitz[TR]; that's OK
06:18 DaemonFC; These are the important problems.
06:18 schestowitz[TR]; cheaper to pay off the victim's families
06:18 schestowitz[TR]; than to hire people for the warehouse and truck drivers
06:19 DaemonFC; mjg59_, Do you agree that the biggest issue facing humans today is curvy dick problems and the pills to treat it?

21:47 DaemonFC; schestowitz-pi2, So here's my review for Waukegan Pep Boys.
21:48 DaemonFC; I think I have it where I want it within Google's character limit.
21:48 DaemonFC; "I previously had good service at this location on my 2003 Impala with tires and a battery so I came back when I had just had new struts at Car-X on my 2008 Buick Lacrosse.
21:48 DaemonFC; Unfortunately, Car-X had their alignment machine take a dump on them, so I went to Pep Boys.
21:48 DaemonFC; I paid $120 for a 1 year alignment package. They adjusted the alignment, allegedly. But whatever they did had my steering wheel off to the left to go straight and my car was dog tracking badly. I came back today and they told me put camber bolts in the rear and they could fix it. So I did, and then they made an even bigger mess than before.
21:48 DaemonFC; For another $300.
21:48 DaemonFC; When I said I didn't want to pay them more to screw up my ride worse than RANDOM alignment values I got with the new struts, the guy, Mike, then suggested cutting into the knuckle to make the strut "fit right" because there was allegedly something wrong with my car.
21:48 DaemonFC; When I got a little hot under the collar over them suggesting this and with everything they had done so far throwing the camber off in the wrong direction worse than the last thing they did, Mike escorted me out of the store and refused to release my car until I paid; essentially they ****ed up my ride worse than a randomly misaligned car and then billed me over $400 so far and they had wanted another $150 to cut into the strut and knuckle.
21:48 DaemonFC; Which I was assured he did "all the time" when he worked at a GM dealer. What happened to the Dealer and his job there? I wonder.
21:48 DaemonFC; So I left. I was worried about Mike causing an incident where they screwed me over with my car and would create a "situation" if this kept going. I decided to just pay the $300 and fight it with my bank later.
21:48 DaemonFC; I decided to call to the Round Lake store and told them the situation and they fixed everything without carving up my car like a roast.
21:48 DaemonFC; I asked the manager what they did. He said "Aligned the car correctly."
21:48 DaemonFC; The implication is that the alignment machine is broken or misconfigured in Waukegan and/or they have Beavis and Butt-Head doing alignments.
21:48 DaemonFC; The Round Lake store got the alignment dead on, accurate, better than the Chevy dealer in Grayslake, and no more crooked steering wheel or back end like a teenager's riced out Honda.
21:48 DaemonFC; Don't go to Pep Boys Waukegan. Run like hell. It's no wonder they can't fill any positions with anyone competent in this store with such grotesquely incompetent management. The fish rots from the head down.
21:48 DaemonFC; Take a look at the photos for how bad Waukegan Pep Boys screwed up my final alignment at that store. Mike didn't want me taking photos of how bad they managed to screw up a simple wheel alignment and threatened me if I didn't leave. Don't let them touch your car if you care about it.
21:48 DaemonFC; These alignment machines that they use are designed so you could train pretty much anyone to use it. It's basically do this until that turns green.
21:49 DaemonFC; Most of the time it works okay if you have a completely stock car but you can botch it if the guy is really stupid or the machine is busted, so he just hands it back and calls it aligned no matter how badly it's pulling.
21:49 DaemonFC; You could take it to a blind person with no machine and have them turn things to random positions and get a better alignment job than Pep Boys.
21:49 DaemonFC; Mike blamed my Monroe Quick struts which are identical to OEM measurements for a new strut assembly. He would have had trouble with an AC Delco as well.
21:49 DaemonFC; I usually go to Car-X. If their alignment machine had worked this never would have unfolded. If my alignment drifts I will drive to Round Lake to use my guarantee from Pep Boys.
21:49 DaemonFC; I try to take very good care of what I drive because I depend on it to get me around safely. When I explained to Shaq and Hector at Car-X on Green Bay what happened at Pep Boys, they were horrified and said that they have no business treating a customer like that and that I've been a good customer at their shop and they couldn't imagine me becoming unreasonable about a car repair.
21:49 DaemonFC; I have better things to do than come back to Pep Boys every day while they throw parts at my car due to managerial corruption and incompetence."

21:52 DaemonFC; It's an attack on skilled labor, so they get unskilled labor.
21:52 DaemonFC; And then when that unskilled labor that they pay minimum wage to work on your car gets in over their head they just say fuck it and hand you the car back with a bill.
21:53 DaemonFC; mjg59_ is part of the California "tech" industry that's doing this.
21:53 DaemonFC; We put new "programs" on our "machine". What do we do if the program doesn't like your car after it's been on the road a while? Cut into the structure of the car of course!
21:54 DaemonFC; We'll cut into your car, billing you all the way, compromising hull integrity. Don't worry, we'll bill you a labor hour for this too.
21:54 DaemonFC; Then the program will turn green!

22:07 Moocher5254; I just see useful idiots' behaviour, I doubt he's all in in the whole MS charade/plans
22:09 DaemonFC; "Yesterday, I wrote about an incident at the Waukegan Pep Boys where I went in for a car alignment after getting new struts at a Car-X. I planned to get my alignment done at Car-X because they're as good as any mechanics out there, charge a fair price (compared with other shops), usually get the job done right (other shops have a worse average in my opinion between successful repairs and botched jobs), and doesn't recommend "services" that I
22:09 DaemonFC; don't need.
22:09 DaemonFC; Even when the Round Lake Pep Boys was able to fix my vehicle alignment, which Waukegan Pep Boys had fucked up beyond all recognition (FUBAR), the print out recommended a transmission fluid change (I had one 10,000 miles ago) and a coolant change (had one last week).
22:09 DaemonFC; When I called back and spoke to the guy, I first thanked him for finally getting my car to drive straight and be aligned with the requested values, then proceeded to ask why these were recommended since the coolant was as clean as it's going to be and the transmission fluid is mostly new (you never get it ALL out without a flush machine, which are not recommended unless you have a severely neglected transmission with brown fluid and need it all
22:09 DaemonFC; out 3 years ago).
22:09 DaemonFC; He told me it's just something the computer recommends when it reads the odometer.
22:09 DaemonFC; I said, "Well, I mean, I don't need it because I know how to maintain a car and even then I err on the side of throwing the manual over my shoulder because the car company has a different idea of maintaining property than I do."
22:09 DaemonFC; Crooked shops looking for extra work recommend servicing these systems more often than necessary or without asking the customer when it was done, or pulling up the Carfax report which most shops report to and only telling the customer what they actually need, because they profit greatly on these "services". And then sometimes they don't even do the service after you pay them.
22:09 DaemonFC; Even a wheel alignment, which is very easy to get a rough estimate of whether it went wrong, by seeing if your car steers forwards with the steering wheel at a roughly neutral position, they screw the customer, at least at their Waukegan store.
22:09 DaemonFC; Why does the Waukegan Pep Boys screw the customer? Most of the time you'll get away with it because the customer won't know they got screwed real bad. Many times, the alignment wasn't way out of whack in the first place unless they just hit the curb real hard or the mother of all potholes or had some structural suspension parts removed and replaced where the mechanic "marked it" so you could drive around a bit and get to an alignment shop.
22:10 DaemonFC; So if you make your business out of recommending unnecessary services that are usually hard to even verify were completed, you can really rip people off. And then on top of that, if they come back to complain and demand that it be performed correctly, you've hired idiots back there that will only make it worse if they touch it, either because they have absolutely no idea what they are doing or because they want to give the customer a send off
22:10 DaemonFC; with a middle finger for daring to come back and complain.
22:10 DaemonFC; This is how the Pep Boys store in Waukegan rolls."
22:10 DaemonFC; Part of a post I'm writing. Because I'm so mad with the way they run that store.
22:11 DaemonFC; No, better. "This is how "Mike and the Mechanics" at the Pep Boys store in Waukegan roll."
22:13 DaemonFC; Carl Icahn is a really nasty character, and he owns Pep Boys now. Every year since he bought it, their "service" has gotten worse.
22:13 DaemonFC; This is the guy that bailed out Donald Trump's casino business then sold it at 4 cents on the dollar a year later to curry favor with a president that now faces nearly 100 criminal felony charges in multiple jurisdictions.
22:17 DaemonFC; So it stands to reason that when a guy like that buys an auto service chain, they'll start hiring people for low wages and telling them to rip people off.
22:17 DaemonFC; Case in point, the Waukegan store currently has an opening for a full time Tire and Lube guy. This is tires, air filters, and oil changes, and general labor cleaning the shop.
22:17 DaemonFC; The pay is listed on Indeed as $620 per week, gross, that is before any taxes or withholding. If you average this out as a 40 hour week, that's only $15.50 an hour.
22:17 DaemonFC; A wage that is so low that it's less money than my spouse makes at Walmart even with his hours cut for a while to 34 per week (and we're working on this problem), and his job isn't even one where you will be exposed to hazardous carcinogens and hot muggy shops and lift heavy things a lot and have to road test cars that may be unsafe to operate due to the owner "delaying maintenance". That's the new term in America for being broke.
22:17 DaemonFC; Like "delaying healthcare". It sounds better than dying while insulin is $1,000 a month while they use the money to fund TV ads with fat people doing the happy insulin dance.

22:23 DaemonFC; But the car alignment racks that these shops use (which may not even be functional, like the Waukegan store), are an attack on skilled labor.
22:23 DaemonFC; First, you completely remove the skill from a job and then tell people to just do things until the computer shows "green". As long as it's green it's fine. It doesn't matter what the end values are. Even then, sometimes they admit it's not in range and hand the car back. Like the Waukegan Pep Boys did to me, right as they closed the store on Friday.
22:23 DaemonFC; Got a negative camber of 2 on the rear left an a negative camber of 1.45 on the right? No problem.
22:23 DaemonFC; Actually it is a problem. You want values for alignments to be roughly the same on both axles and both sides of an axle or the car will start doing weird things.
22:24 DaemonFC; A variance of half a degree camber should be investigated and they should figure out why before they hand it back, especially since GM says those wheel should not be at more than negative 1.6. If they hand it back with -1.3 on the left and -1.4 on the right, that would have even been drivable and within an acceptable margin, but no. They have to be a corrupt, greedy, sloppy, shop that doesn't even do the work, and then admits it to your face
22:24 DaemonFC; and expects you to be such a retard that you drive with a crooked wheel thinking you got a car alignment.

22:34 DaemonFC; "Mike who used to work at a GM dealer (he told me that) says cutting into the vehicle to make it fit and voiding part warranties from other stores is fine. He did it at GM, allegedly, according to Mike, which no longer works at GM.
22:34 DaemonFC; He works at Pep Boys. One can only speculate as to why the career at GM ended.
22:34 DaemonFC; Anyway, amusingly, the "initial values" over at the Round Lake store on the alignment report didn't match anything close to what the "final values" did from one day prior at Waukegan.
22:34 DaemonFC; So since Round Lake got my car to drive right, I'm going to say that they have a working alignment rack and someone that at least knows how to make adjustments and measure them.
22:34 DaemonFC; It makes sense to Carl Icahn to pay people minimum wage to work on your car and make you pay 10 times minimum wage for them to make it worse. It's not Carl Icahn's car. It's yours."

22:56 DaemonFC; They have those really flimsy sidewalls that blow out if you hit anything.
22:57 DaemonFC; Real nice for a city with potholes that throws something metal over the potholes with metal things sticking out of the metal slab.
