00:06 TR Bot; cleaning - Are fuel system cleaners (like Gumout) worth using regularly? - Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Stack Exchange
00:06 DaemonFC; KIA does recommend using a bottle of Techron every 3,000 miles if you don't use Top Tier gasoline all the time.
00:06 DaemonFC; It says that in the owner's manual.
00:07 DaemonFC; Usually if OEMs recommend anything, it's Techron, but Chevron has jacked the price way up and kept taking the PEA content down.
00:07 DaemonFC; So at this point it's probably not doing much.
00:10 DaemonFC; https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1870982-USE-WITH-CAUTION!!!-Gumout-Regane-Complete-Fuel-System-Cleaner
00:10 TR Bot; USE WITH CAUTION!!! Gumout Regane Complete : Fuel System Cleaner
00:11 DaemonFC; MinceR: "I have a problem car that wouldn't pass smog and threw a bunch of misfire codes. I took the parts canon to it and nothing happened. I poured a bottle of Gumout in the gas and the car broke down and had another code for MAF sensor (which the Gumout doesn't even affect).....DAMN YOU GUMOUT! YOU DESTROYED MY PERFECT BMW!"
00:12 DaemonFC; :D
00:12 MinceR; lol
00:13 DaemonFC; PS: I replaced the MAF sensor and the car started right back up.
00:13 DaemonFC; Clearly the gas treatment affected a sensor in the air box.
00:13 DaemonFC; :P
00:13 DaemonFC; MinceR: They really are "special" aren't they?
00:14 DaemonFC; So basically he changed out a bunch of parts at random, blames the gas treatment for an electrical sensor in an airbox that gasoline never comes anywhere near.
00:14 MinceR; indeed
00:14 DaemonFC; Which he didn't even diagnose first.
00:15 DaemonFC; Hooking up a live scan tool to it would have indicated what the MAF sensor was reporting to the engine control module, and if it was implausible reading at idle, you would start with the MAF sensor.
00:15 DaemonFC; And it's unclear whether he needed a new MAF sensor or not.
00:16 DaemonFC; Sometimes you can just unplug them and spray them down with MAF cleaner (has to be MAF cleaner!) and let them dry completely and plug them back in.
00:16 DaemonFC; If it's just a lot of dirt causing it to read wrong that may fix it.
00:16 DaemonFC; I mean, they're not exactly giving them away for my car. For a Delco MAF sensor it's like $190.
00:17 DaemonFC; For a cheap Auto Zone one that may never work right to begin with call it $70-80.
00:17 DaemonFC; You're much better off getting a $8 can of MAF sensor cleaner and letting 'er rip before you go replacing it.
00:17 DaemonFC; I can only imagine what one costs on a BMW.
00:18 DaemonFC; It's rare that a MAF sensor is actually bad. 9/10 times it's just really dirty.
00:18 DaemonFC; They're on the "clean" side of the air filter, but....
00:19 DaemonFC; Some dirt makes it past the filter. The EGR valve and engine crap makes its way back up the airbox sometimes.
00:19 DaemonFC; That's why throttle plates get dirty and need spray cleaned. The MAF sensor can need cleaned too, but it's VERY delicate. You need a cleaner that's only for MAF sensors.
00:19 DaemonFC; If you spray it with anything else, it'll be fucked.
00:20 DaemonFC; The air filter only filters incoming air, but those fumes and the soot are still coming back up the air box.
00:20 DaemonFC; Obviously it helps to use good air filters and change them often, but burning gasoline creates a lot of really nasty byproducts.
00:22 DaemonFC; "Most coils fail because they develope hairline cracks that are usually visible if you remove and inspect them."
00:22 DaemonFC; Yeah, BMW coils fail all the time like that because they put them in the engine itself where it'll constantly heat up and cool down a lot and vibrate them.
00:22 DaemonFC; :)
00:22 DaemonFC; Then it's a real bitch to get to them because they're not right there when you open the hood like they are on my car.
00:23 DaemonFC; And then the part costs 3 times as much.
00:23 DaemonFC; And there are twice as many.
00:23 DaemonFC; So enjoy that.
00:23 DaemonFC; And don't think you'll just replace one and put the engine back together.
00:24 DaemonFC; A few thousand miles later, you'll lose another one and have a misfire over there and need to pay 7 more hours labor.

00:26 DaemonFC; MinceR: I'm starting to get the impression from BMW owners that if you have to open the hood to fill the windshield washer fluid you may as well rebuild the engine and cooling system while you're there just to make sure.
00:26 MinceR; lol
00:27 MinceR; or just replace the alleged car with a shiny new model
00:27 DaemonFC; Yeah, 90% of BMW sales are just a 3 year lease.
00:27 MinceR; what, you can't afford to buy a new car every few months?
00:27 DaemonFC; People know full well what happens after that.
00:27 DaemonFC; Well, MARISOL didn't. Now she owns one and has to put $5,000 in it every year to keep it going.
00:28 DaemonFC; It's all plastic in there.
00:28 DaemonFC; They make them so they're only barely serviceable and only for a hell of a lot of money.
00:29 DaemonFC; They're such lemons that I was reading about a guy who bought a 2019 Chevy Impala after owning a bunch of BMWs and was talking about how reliable it was.
00:29 MinceR; :)
00:29 DaemonFC; The Impala is a horrible car.
00:29 DaemonFC; The newer ones ("New GM") are.
00:30 DaemonFC; The dealerships for BMW don't negotiate on the price of a "service plan". It's all in the computer what they cost.
00:30 DaemonFC; It's basically they know what the average one will do to you over the life of the plan and you're just getting it over with now while you're buying the stupid thing.
00:31 DaemonFC; There's a 50% chance yours will be "worse than average" and then "you're winner".
00:31 DaemonFC; :)
00:31 MinceR; :)
00:32 DaemonFC; So while MARISOL was in there paying $2,000 for four tires (somehow) she was boasting that they give her a can of Coke.
00:32 DaemonFC; For free.
00:32 DaemonFC; Can you believe it?
00:32 DaemonFC; MinceR: The Chevy dealership got rid of the free cans of Coke and raised the oil changes from $59.99 to $89.99.
00:32 DaemonFC; I haven't been back.
00:33 DaemonFC; They got rid of the free Coke first but the oil change was still $59.99.
00:33 DaemonFC; Then they started putting out $89.99 oil change "coupons".
00:33 DaemonFC; WTF
00:34 DaemonFC; They don't even buy AC Delco branded oil. They buy Valvoline in bulk. The dealers can buy anything that has a dexos license.
00:34 DaemonFC; But I mean, they're buying the cheapest thing they can get in bulk with a dexos license.
00:34 MinceR; A whole can of Coke? "Oh my god, hold me back."
00:34 DaemonFC; So if Valvoline gives them a good price, that's what they're using. I mean, same as you would, but then they turn around and jack up the oil change $30.
00:35 DaemonFC; MinceR: I used to go in there and down like six of them while I was waiting on my oil change.
00:35 DaemonFC; Diet Dr. Pepper. What can I say?
00:35 MinceR; :)
00:35 DaemonFC; They were speaking my language.
00:36 DaemonFC; MinceR: Now I have to go to fucking Walmart to get the oil change price I used to get at the dealership.
00:36 DaemonFC; I only went to the dealership because it was the same price as Walmart.
00:37 DaemonFC; Walmart is super super ridiculous about declining oil changes sometimes.
00:37 DaemonFC; I've had them decline an oil change on a car because the hood latch was disconnected from the wire that opens the hood on a car I used to own.
00:37 DaemonFC; So I put the wire back onto the latch and opened the hood.
00:38 DaemonFC; And they said they still couldn't change the oil because the hood could come flying open and I might hold them responsible for that.
00:38 DaemonFC; I worked at that Walmart at the time, So I just came back a couple days later while she wasn't there and had my hood latch connected to the wire that opened the hood, and they changed the oil.
00:39 DaemonFC; And then of course my hood came flying open and I shouted "OH GOD OH GOD WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN TO THAT LADY AT WALMART I'M BURNING ALIVE NOW!!!! I DIDN'T KNOW! I DIDN'T KNOW! HERE COMES THE MEAT WAGON WHEEOOOHWHEEEOOOHWHEEEOHHHH.....OH MY GOD!"
00:40 MinceR; lol
00:40 DaemonFC; No, I just paid $9.90 for the oil change (it was 2004 and Obama and Biden hadn't happened yet) and I drove the car around. It was very boring.

00:45 DaemonFC; MinceR: $9 for an oil change. $90 for an oil change. Clearly the dollar has only lost what? 40% of its value? :D
00:45 DaemonFC; That's what the government says. They say COVID shots are great and everyone should get one every 90 days. That's probably right.
00:45 DaemonFC; :P
00:46 DaemonFC; They just need to let you file bankruptcy every year because that's what you need now that Biden's been around for a while.
00:46 MinceR; normally inflation would be calculated from the prices of an entire set of wares, not just one
00:46 MinceR; orbanistan does this very deceptively, of course
00:47 DaemonFC; So does the US.
00:47 DaemonFC; BLS goes "Yeah, FOOD WAY UP RENT WAY UP GAS WAY UP....yada yada" like everything you need to buy, double digits.
00:47 DaemonFC; Then over nyaaah they go "Vacation timeshares are down."
00:48 DaemonFC; "You can get a TV and watch Kesha talk about her haunted pussy on CNN. That's real cheap."
00:48 DaemonFC; "Mild inflation."
00:49 DaemonFC; Haunted pussy.... What is a haunted pussy?
00:49 MinceR; here the state likes to calculate inflation from prices they've set and are enforcing and from the prices of products that haven't been available for years
00:49 DaemonFC; Does it like suck a man in and spit out the bones?
00:49 DaemonFC; How does haunted pussy work?
00:49 MinceR; mmm
00:49 DaemonFC; Inquiring minds want to know.
00:49 DaemonFC; "[18:49] <MinceR> here the state likes to calculate inflation from prices they've set and are enforcing and from the prices of products that haven't been available for years"
00:50 DaemonFC; Which products are those?
00:50 DaemonFC; In a market economy you can just buy whatever you have the money for, right?
00:50 DaemonFC; :)
00:51 DaemonFC; MinceR: They kept bullshitting me at Walmart whenever they didn't want to change my oil to the point where I bought a set of ramps and changed the oil myself. It was a relatively small car anyway.
00:51 MinceR; this is not a market economy
00:51 MinceR; it hasn't been a market economy for 14 years
00:51 DaemonFC; It only took like 10-12 minutes.
00:51 DaemonFC; I was buying oil for 77 cents a quart and a filter for $1.50.
00:51 DaemonFC; So that's 4.2 quarts of oil and a filter.
00:51 MinceR; first it was just Fidesz - Hungarian Pedophile Alliance making laws to favor their own (supremely shitty) corporations
00:52 DaemonFC; Save the remainder of 0.8 and use it next time.
00:52 MinceR; then the shit hit the fan and the communist state-specified prices started

01:36 DaemonFC; Much less having it flood the crankcase, overflow it, and set the car on fire.
01:37 DaemonFC; Usually by the time you have more than 1-2% fuel in your oil between changes the engine is in some old clunker with 300,000 miles on it anyway.

02:40 DaemonFC; A life cut short by the Canadian government posting articles in State Media about killing old people by not covering their cancer care while they have $150,000 a pop for trannies.
02:41 DaemonFC; How much does it cost to have the government cremate a body? You could get about 300 of those done for every one deranged person being abused by alleged mental healthcare.
02:42 DaemonFC; For every 3 tranny surgeries (not counting the hormones), they could have paid for all the cancer care that five people would have needed, many of whom would have lived another 8 years on average.
02:43 DaemonFC; So it's all a matter of what your priorities are with the healthcare system. And when the government has hijacked it and tells you who gets the stolen (tax) money, well, there you have it.
02:44 DaemonFC; The only tool at the government's disposal is threats backed by violence.

02:51 DaemonFC; Because then there's a county, and townships, and States, and the federal government.
02:51 DaemonFC; And the more people that unit of government lords over, the more dilute your "vote" is.
02:52 DaemonFC; Eventually there's so many voters that can't read or write but do know who promised them troon surgery, taxpayer funded abortion, food stamps, free apartments as long as they don't know who any of the fathers are, etc. are, and they vote accordingly.
02:52 MinceR; afaik asphalt is not degraded by recycling and it's commonly done
02:52 DaemonFC; And for every civic-minded person, there's a thousand or more illiterate fucktwits with their hand out.
02:53 DaemonFC; And eventually you have no control so you may as well stay home and masturbate.
02:53 MinceR; they just melt the bitumen, put it in its new place, and wait for it to solidify again
02:53 MinceR; and the rocks go with it
02:53 DaemonFC; You can't do 100% recycled asphalt.
02:53 DaemonFC; It just doesn't work.
02:53 MinceR; why?
02:54 DaemonFC; Indiana tried demanding some asphalt with too much recycled stuff and they ended up having to take the company to court for doing what the government said when the road fell apart immediately.
02:54 MinceR; roads can fall apart for other reasons
02:54 MinceR; like the stuff they put the asphalt on top of
02:55 DaemonFC; I just remembered laughing because the company said they just did what the contract said and they had plenty of witnesses saying yeah, that's what that formula would do.
02:55 DaemonFC; But they were in a government court up against the government.
02:55 DaemonFC; So the result was they had to redo it for free.
02:57 DaemonFC; MinceR: Meanwhile, Florida passed a State law that makes it legal to use radioactive waste in the pavement.

02:58 DaemonFC; At issue is just what you'd figure.
02:58 DaemonFC; Florida has a hell of a lot of this radioactive shit laying around that it doesn't want to dispose of.
02:59 DaemonFC; It could mix it in with the road and make the roads slightly radioactive and then that would escape off into the environment as the roads deteriorate.
02:59 DaemonFC; But it's cheap for the government.

02:59 TR Bot; Radioactive waste roads in Florida: Phosphogypsum can be tested in paving : NPR
03:02 DaemonFC; > In fertilizer, phosphorus is important for plants to grow strong roots and for crops to be productive. To make phosphoric acid for fertilizer and a few other uses, phosphate rock is dissolved in sulfuric acid. Phosphogypsum is what's left over.
03:02 DaemonFC; > The commonly used production process, which dates to the 1840s, is not very efficient. For every ton of phosphoric acid produced, more than 5 tons of phosphogypsum waste is generated.
03:02 DaemonFC; > Florida has been an important source since the 1800s; currently, the EPA notes, "Florida alone accounts for approximately 80 percent of the current capacity, making it the world's largest phosphate producing area."
03:02 DaemonFC; > Florida's prominent role means the state also has massive waste sites called phosphogypsum stacks, or "gypstacks." Such stacks can be very large spanning up to 800 acres and about 200 feet in height. They've been linked to serious water pollution over the years, due to sinkholes and other breaches.
03:02 DaemonFC; > Is phosphogypsum dangerous?
03:02 DaemonFC; > "Phosphogypsum contains appreciable quantities of uranium and its decay products, such as radium-226," according to the EPA, which also notes that because the fertilizer production process concentrates waste material, "phosphogypsum is more radioactive than the original phosphate rock."
03:02 DaemonFC; > "The radium is of particular concern because it decays to form radon, a cancer-causing, radioactive gas," the EPA adds.

06:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Speaking of marijuana retards.
06:04 DaemonFC; That's the upstairs neighbors favorite thing in the world, right after overflowing bathtubs, putting holes in the walls, and loudly fucking various men.
06:04 DaemonFC; MinceR: ^
06:04 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: I've decided.
06:05 DaemonFC; My landlord has 10 more days to fix the problems outside before I go to Code and they can "educate" him.
06:05 DaemonFC; And when the "education" doesn't work, they "EDUCATE HIM".
06:05 DaemonFC; :)
06:06 DaemonFC; My favorite thing in the world is not narcing people out to the city.
06:06 DaemonFC; But I mean, come on.
06:06 DaemonFC; They say they don't ever tell them who reported them.
06:07 DaemonFC; But he can probably guess that out of a building full of people who dodge their rent and smoke it all instead, I'm the only one who cares about an abandoned Toyota and some couches.
06:07 DaemonFC; STATE OF ILL should have set aside the marijuana tax in a rainy day fund or paid off debt with it.
06:08 DaemonFC; Instead, they give it away as ****er reparations. (Which is funny considering that they're the ones buying the shit.)
06:08 *macrohumanity (~macrohumanity@gsz2fvnknzw3i.irc) has joined #techrights
06:08 DaemonFC; And then all the surrounding states are either legalizing it or have bills under consideration, so we'll lose 40% of that revenue.
06:09 DaemonFC; If they paid off debt with it and told the Venezuelans to go live off someone else they'd be about $5 billion better off than the State is now.
06:09 DaemonFC; :)
06:10 DaemonFC; Instead, what happened is what usually happens when Democrats get money.
06:10 DaemonFC; All gone, all gone, moar taxes.
06:11 DaemonFC; Marijuana is another "stupid tax".
06:11 DaemonFC; Although it comes from blacks and goes to blacks, it's a different class of blacks that get the "reparations". Usually people with some ambition of being homeowners and working, so I can't say anything really awful about taxing the ones that are getting pinched for something every week.
06:13 DaemonFC; There's various "stupid taxes". It goes liquor, tobacco, lottery, weed, and gambling.
06:13 DaemonFC; The Democrats make life so awful everyone wants drugs.
06:13 DaemonFC; Then they tax the drugs. It's quite brilliant.
06:24 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Tesla resorts to false advertising of their EV pricing.

06:25 DaemonFC; They include a "if you count tax incentives and $6,000 in savings on gas in the first five years".
06:25 DaemonFC; Their own website.
06:25 DaemonFC; A $42,000 car (if you flip the slider to turn off the "savings" from tax incentives that don't help most people and the non-existent fuel savings (you pay for electric).
06:26 DaemonFC; Becomes $29,000 and something.

06:26 TR Bot; Techrights Jens Schmalzing & Debian: rooftop fall, inaccurately described as accident
06:26 DaemonFC; *default
06:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: So they're understating the real price of the car by an order of magnitude.
06:27 DaemonFC; Chevy has some EVs that really do start out in the $20,000s before any tax incentives you may (or may not) get or any imaginary fuel savings.
06:27 DaemonFC; How much does it cost in charging a Tesla to drive an equivalent distance to a current model year average gas-powered car?
06:27 DaemonFC; You don't save 100% by not buying gas.
06:28 DaemonFC; You don't use fast chargers or plug the Tesla in at home and not pay for the electricity.
06:28 DaemonFC; So you have to deduct this from the imaginary $6,000 saved on the gas.
06:29 DaemonFC; So Tesla is engaging in a campaign of fraudulent advertising.
06:29 DaemonFC; And the tax incentives? You only get $7,000 off your taxes if you owe $7,000 in taxes.
06:29 DaemonFC; You can't exceed the taxes you owe for the year.
06:29 DaemonFC; In our case, this incentive would cap out at maybe $300-400.
06:29 DaemonFC; So for most taxpayers, the rebate is an illusion.
06:30 DaemonFC; If you take $7,000 a the dealership somehow and don't owe $7,000 in taxes for it to be counted against, you could end up in deep DEEP shit with the IRS.
06:31 DaemonFC; If you only owe $400 to the IRS all year and you tell the dealership to give you an instant $7,000 rebate, you'll have to pay the IRS $6,600 at the end of the year for taking too much at the dealership.
06:31 DaemonFC; Then the IRS hits you with a bunch of penalties.
06:31 DaemonFC; Because you certainly didn't withhold 90% of this.
06:31 DaemonFC; Then you pay interest to the IRS on it at like 6% compounded daily.
06:31 DaemonFC; They don't fuck around.
06:32 DaemonFC; You'll end up with a tax lien on that Tesla.
06:32 DaemonFC; And people will figure this out, but it'll be after the election.
06:32 DaemonFC; They'll go oh cool Biden gave me an EV real cheap and then the IRS will have a word with them about that come May of next year.

08:16 DaemonFC; It is NOT documented.
08:16 DaemonFC; A factory reset would do it, but you also lose everything else.
08:17 DaemonFC; Turns out you can turn the radio off and press the volume button and then there's a new Bluetooth menu option called BT INIT, and then you click on that and it says "BT INIT N" and you have to change it to "Y" and press the button again, and it clears the connected devices.
08:17 DaemonFC; What a horrible user interface, and no mention of this in the manual.
08:17 DaemonFC; My factory radio shorted out soon after I got the car.
08:17 DaemonFC; It just started spazzing out like a Marijuana Lobster.
08:18 DaemonFC; The display would get bright and dim and bright and dim randomly, and then it would get stuck on a station, and then you could change it again, and then it would change stations all by itself, and then get stuck again, and then accuse me of being a radiophobe when I took it to Best Buy for a new stereo.

08:24 DaemonFC; But he finally fucked up so bad that they sent him off for two years and so there went that.
08:25 DaemonFC; And that was AFTER the plea deal.
08:26 DaemonFC; The prosecutors just throw everything they can think of at the guy until there was no hope of ever being out of prison again anytime soon and then agreed to make it all go away except what they really wanted him on.
08:26 DaemonFC; Typical.
08:27 DaemonFC; Plea deals are like that, ideally. The prosecutor brings in a lot of bluffing and bullshit and fake-outs, and hopefully you didn't say anything at the police station and there's still room for you to do some of that yourself.
08:27 DaemonFC; And then it goes more your way than his and you go "ouch".

Deleting this entire entry via "edit book" has no effect and the book marks are still present because they are in the DB.

18:54 schestowitz[TR2]; Why is this issue considered "invalid"? An EPUB viewer is expected to view EPUB files, not silently modify them. This is not a good default behaviour because it is surprising.

18:55 schestowitz[TR2]; Such behavior goes so much against professionalism in software, I'd expect it from shady proprietary software.
18:55 schestowitz[TR2]; Come on, at least one option to disable it? There are serious people using this software for serious purposes, for some of us moving bookmarks around is not even a desirable feature, it's an actual hindrance because the file changes.

23:30 DaemonFC; One of them was Amazon apparently.
23:30 DaemonFC; For the series "Invincible".
23:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: ^
23:31 DaemonFC; " In addition to drawings for an upcoming season of the Amazon Prime Video show Invincible, the files also contain sketches and videos that resemble work for Iyanu: Child of Wonder, a superhero series slated to air on Max, the streaming service that, along with CNN, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. "
23:33 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Wasn't this after they said they were firing Americans to use "AI"?
23:33 DaemonFC; Apparently "AI" is Amazon and Warner Bros. term for "violating US sanctions and doing business in North Korea".
23:34 DaemonFC; Seemingly fueled by the desire for unreasonably low-cost labor, foreign media companies continue to subcontract animation work toSEK Studio, the Treasury Department said in a statement announcing the sanctions. The studio uses animation workers in North Korea and China, the department said.

23:39 schestowitz[TR2]; ""Update: It's easy to point and laugh at this as "LOL, AI doesn't work", and that's appropriate, because it's funny, and it doesn't, but also consider whether the goals of this project were not what you were told that they were. The "Just Walk Out" project allowed Amazon to replace a bunch of cashiers making the California minimum wage of $16 / hour with a bunch of call center gig workers in India making (I'm gonna go out on a li
23:39 schestowitz[TR2]; mb and guess) a lot less than that. So if they are shutting this program down, it's probably because the savings they saw from outsourcing retail clerks to a third world call center were somehow not high enough.

23:39 TR Bot; Amazon's Just Walk Out Actually Uses 1,000 People in India
23:40 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: Just Walk Out and "Lady in the Philippines on an iPad" absolutely are the result of Democrat shitholes being so expensive that $20 an hour is necessary as a minimum wage.
23:40 schestowitz[TR2]; "Startups have also created their own versions of Just Walk Out and tested them at retailers including Aldi and Dollar General."
23:41 DaemonFC; When you pay people at Taco Bell $20 an hour, you have to raise the price of a bean burrito to like $5.99, and then the customers leave and nobody has a job anymore because Democrats.
23:41 DaemonFC; So what do you think will happen here?
23:41 schestowitz[TR2]; "The company touted the technology, which allowed customers to bypass traditional checkouts, as an achievement powered entirely by computer vision. But Just Walk Out was still very reliant on humans, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing an unnamed person who has worked on Just Walk Out technology."

23:51 DaemonFC; I don't know how the police operate in the UK really and I'm glad it's not important.
23:51 DaemonFC; They sound like a real pain in the ass with nothing to back that up with, but they have the public on a short leash (no guns) so they don't really have to have anything to back up the threats with.
23:52 DaemonFC; You should tell that one that spoke with you that they were too incompetent and homophobic to catch the Grindr killer, but they have time to nibshit through your web site.
23:52 DaemonFC; Looking for "Roy is a big meanie pants and that's a crime in the UK and the cop with no gun is going to spank you." stuff.

23:54 DaemonFC; The country where the language originated also has the "there", "their", and "they're" problem, apparently.
23:54 DaemonFC; And they say it's just a problem with our schools, then they let them join the London police.
23:55 DaemonFC; No wonder they won't let your police have a gun. They'd probably be more dangerous to themselves with it than any of the criminal suspects. Jesus.

23:59 DaemonFC; "One frequent source of comedy is Barney's incompetence with firearms. After numerous negligent discharges (usually with a Smith & Wesson or Colt .38 caliber revolver), Andy restricts Barney to carrying his gun unloaded, with only one bullet in his shirt pocket, "in case of an emergency". However, Barney tends to load his gun unnecessarily, and often ends up firing it into the floor, the ceiling, or his own gun holster. The negligent discharge of Barney'
23:59 DaemonFC; s gun becomes a running gag, usually followed by Barney sheepishly handing his gun to Andy."
23:59 DaemonFC; ---
23:59 DaemonFC; Stupidity with a firearm was comic relief in the 1960s.
23:59 DaemonFC; Apparently a few days ago, four blacks got out of two cars and exchanged 50 rounds no more than 10 feet from one another, and then sped off when the police noticed.
