00:57 DaemonFC; The Biden administration just finalized a new rule that says people with good credit have to pay more to take on a mortgage to give discounts to people who don't pay their bills.

00:57 DaemonFC; The black guy with payday loan subsidy?
00:58 DaemonFC; Smack in the face to people who pay their bills. Just a bunch of chumps, I guess.
00:58 DaemonFC; Maybe I should start missing credit card payments so we can get a cheap mortgage.

01:00 DaemonFC; This confusing approach wont work and more importantly couldnt come at a worse time for an industry struggling to get back on its feet after these past 12 months, Mr. Stevens wrote in a recent social media post. To do this at the onset of the spring market is almost offensive to the market, consumers, and lenders.
01:01 DaemonFC; "Under the new mortgage financing rules, homebuyers with riskier credit ratings and lower down payments will qualify for better mortgage rates and discounted fees."
01:02 DaemonFC; The Democrats are going back to the Clinton playbook of giving a bunch of people who can't afford a mortgage a mortgage. Then waiting a few years before it predictably falls over and you have a federal bailout of the banks that were forced to do it.
01:04 DaemonFC; When a lender is quoting a borrower, theres a lot they dont know yet, such as what the property taxes and insurance payments are per month, Mr. Wright said. Changes happen to the mortgage payment and income during escrow, so this will cause frustration to borrowers and lenders for the sudden rate/fee changes. Most of us loan officers will then say lets eat the cost for the borrower to keep them happy (resu
01:04 DaemonFC; lting in losses for the lender and loan officer).
01:06 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
01:06 DaemonFC; For example, due to the low inventory and fierce competition, many buyers must close their transactions in less than 30 days to get their offer accepted, Mr. Wright said. The sudden rate changes will cause lenders to re-disclose, adding additional days to the transaction. This puts extreme timeline pressure on the buyer and lenders forced to re-underwrite the file for the changes.
01:06 DaemonFC; In a letter to Ms. Thompson in February, Mortgage Bankers Association President Bob Broeksmit said the timing of the fee changes was especially troubling and that the debt-to-income ratio fee creates operational issues and quality control for lenders.
01:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], This is going to cause a major problem for anyone the landlord managed to sell this building to.
01:07 DaemonFC; At the price he wants, Biden's new rule would add another $200 to the mortgage each month for whoever took this place, for thirty years.
01:08 DaemonFC; This is more than a little "hair in the soup".
01:08 DaemonFC; Over the course of a year, the fee alone from this new schedule would cost them three months rent from an entire unit.

01:09 DaemonFC; Americans have lousy credit and can't buy a house.
01:09 DaemonFC; Biden: "What if we like, ignored the bad credit and forced the lender to take a horrible risk AND gave them a discount at the expense of people with good credit?"

01:21 TR Bot; Biden signs executive order to improve access to child care | WGN-TV
01:21 DaemonFC; The executive order doesnt require any new spending, Biden said in remarks at the White House. Its about making sure taxpayers get the best value for the investments theyve already made.
01:22 DaemonFC; I don't recall being asked about any investments and if I wanted to make them.
01:22 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
01:22 DaemonFC; Maybe it's the COVID Brain Fog though.
01:22 MinceR; strange thing to call taxes
01:22 DaemonFC; Stick em up!
01:22 DaemonFC; :D
01:23 DaemonFC; Investment time!
01:23 MinceR; :>
01:24 DaemonFC; Investments are due by April 18th! October 18th if you filed for an "investment" extension, but this will result in interest and an estimated "investment".
01:24 DaemonFC; B-)
01:24 DaemonFC; Like I give a shit about other people's kids and would just hand the money over if there wouldn't be consequences for refusing...
01:25 DaemonFC; Even more disgusting, it's taxes so that Democrat Perverts can tell kids there's no such thing as men and women anymore and maybe they should take puberty blockers.
01:26 DaemonFC; MinceR, But what about food for the children?
01:26 *DaemonFC hands their "parents" a job application.
01:26 DaemonFC; Whoa boy! That'll put the fear of god into them.
01:26 DaemonFC; The idea of earning a dollar and buying their kid some food with it.
01:26 DaemonFC; Blasphemy!
01:26 DaemonFC; That's not how it works!
01:27 DaemonFC; You hand them "EBT" so the parents can trade the food stamps for drugs and the kid's still hungry.
01:27 DaemonFC; Everyone knows this.
01:27 DaemonFC; Silly MinceR
01:28 DaemonFC; MinceR, The "You can't say that." didn't start with Matt GULAG. It's been around forever.
01:28 DaemonFC; I criticized someone at Walmart for being on food stamps while I had to pay the IRS and barely make rent every month.
01:28 DaemonFC; I got written up. Oh well.
01:30 DaemonFC; Later on I sent evidence that they were selling their food stamps to someone else for cash (50 cents on the dollar) to the State.
01:30 DaemonFC; The state responded by locking them out of the program for 18 months and making them pay back their benefits for the previous 6 months out of their tax return.
01:30 lord_bagira; so many people talking about chasing happiness and they wonder why they are miserable and unfulfilled
01:31 lord_bagira; what a weak and lazy thing this is
01:31 lord_bagira; Happiness is not the summum bonum. There are such greater aspirations to human endeavor. If there weren't more than happiness to aspire to, we'd all pluck our eyes, tear our eardrums, and take a pill while we starved out our meaningless existences. Do better than happiness.
01:31 DaemonFC; Nobody in this country is happy/
01:31 DaemonFC; 80% are on Prozac.
01:31 DaemonFC; Maybe even Matt & Buffy.
01:31 DaemonFC; It's possible.
01:32 DaemonFC; Money corrupts people, but it doesn't necessarily make them happy.
01:32 lord_bagira; the universe blesses us with sentience, will, and experience and half of us just sitting around chasing the feel-good button
01:33 DaemonFC; Consider what Trump and Rupert Murdoch's wives have to go through to get that money when they finally die.
01:33 DaemonFC; Just the though of having Rupert Murdoch on top of you with his old nasty balls.
01:33 DaemonFC; You're welcome.
01:35 DaemonFC; Some "Black" (capitol B, mind you) in a stolen car.
01:35 DaemonFC; Hit and run. Someone at 3000 Washington. That's an intersection with panhandlers.
01:35 DaemonFC; Maybe he hit a panhandler.
01:35 DaemonFC; That happens sometimes.
01:36 DaemonFC; Last time, the family set up a gofundme to send the body back to Mexico.
01:36 DaemonFC; When is the last time anyone has ever seen a Waukegan story about a stolen car where it was a White person in the mugshot later?
01:36 DaemonFC; I'll wait.
01:37 MinceR; i don't think i've ever seen a Waukegan story
01:37 DaemonFC; It's sort of like West Side Story only with more Blacks.

01:39 DaemonFC; Jamaree T. Payne, 23, of Zion, was charged with one count of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, a Class 3 felony.
01:40 DaemonFC; He's a real Payne in the ass. Maybe they'll do something about him this time.
01:40 DaemonFC; Wouldn't count on it though.
01:41 DaemonFC; MinceR, Maybe ChatGPT recommended going upstairs and talking to the neighbor about the smells and noises.
01:41 DaemonFC; :)
01:41 DaemonFC; "Lake County Assistant States Attorney Dino Katris said a neighbor went upstairs to speak with Payne on April 11.
01:41 DaemonFC; The two began arguing and Payne grabbed a chair and struck the victim in the head while they were on the porch, Katris said.
01:41 DaemonFC; Payne pushed the victim down a staircase with approximately 15-17 steps, Katris said.
01:41 DaemonFC; The victim suffered a compound fracture to his ankle that left his bone sticking out."

02:23 DaemonFC; Brexit turned out to not be the biggest risk.
02:23 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
02:23 DaemonFC; It was low and stagnant pay and fake pensions.

02:24 DaemonFC; The restaurants here are desperate.
02:24 schestowitz[TR]; we parted with some money
02:24 schestowitz[TR]; bough hand dumbbells
02:25 DaemonFC; Red Robin is selling discount gift cards right at their restaurants now.
02:25 DaemonFC; And it's like their Christmas deal except it's basically however many you want to buy, not one per table.
02:25 schestowitz[TR]; we're considered the "lucky" ones because we alreadyy considered kids a risk
02:25 DaemonFC; There's risks with stocking up on too many of those.
02:25 DaemonFC; They can change prices later, or close.
02:25 schestowitz[TR]; a kid nowadays costs like 250,000 pounds to raise just to age 18
02:25 schestowitz[TR]; at 18 they mioght not get any job
02:26 DaemonFC; I do like their restaurant. I don't know how they're having fiscal problems. Seems packed.

02:26 DaemonFC; MinceR, So you're covered unless you're in Japan.
02:26 DaemonFC; You're only safe in Japan.
02:26 MinceR; not even then

02:27 DaemonFC; You know, most people in Japan would probably love to live in a love hotel.
02:27 DaemonFC; They're like 4 times bigger than those crummy apartments they have to live in.
02:28 DaemonFC; I wonder how the 8 hour rate compares to the cost of rent if you just check in and sleep there every night.

02:32 DaemonFC; We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and keep going.

02:45 DaemonFC; So they're going to be fined $1,500 for failure to reply while the state pursues the investigation.
02:45 DaemonFC; They may continue to be fined until they hand over the records the state wants.
02:46 DaemonFC; All because they tried to cheat me out of fifty bucks.

02:46 schestowitz[TR]; welcome to "my world"
02:46 DaemonFC; I'll say one thing about Illinois. They love to investigate, especially when it means they can issue fines.
02:47 DaemonFC; This is a pretty serious accusation. If they've been overbilling people, the state could force them to refund it and pay several hundred thousand dollars in administrative and punitive fines.
02:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I've been joking about it. The War on Lizards.
02:48 DaemonFC; They were boasting about how they would get 26% more money in premiums out of Illinois customers last year.
02:48 DaemonFC; Imagine their dismay if this investigation concludes that they did some of that illegally.

04:43 schestowitz[TR]; draft:
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; "T</a>HE <a href="http://techrights.org/wiki/Microsoft_-_Layoffs" title="Microsoft - Layoffs">Microsoft layoffs</a> in <a href="http://techrights.org/wiki/Microsoft_-_Layoffs#April_2023" title="Microsoft - Layoffs">the past month or so</a> are not part of the "10,000" announced in January (the media keeps parroting this while ignoring months of consequent and unrelated layoffs, not to mention contractors and "temps"). There are mor
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; e to come. Exect more layoffs. The word coming from/through the grapevine is that in July (summer, ahead of "results") there will be truly massive layoffs -- on a scale bigger than in January. What remains unknown, however, is whether this week too Microsoft will announce additional layoffs to appease investors; maybe WARN Act can be dodged somehow, but they have until Wednesday to say something (all we see is mindless puff pieces)
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; .</p>
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; Days ago a few media outlets dropped a hint that Microsoft's results would disappoint in the "clown computing" area (read: Azure), so one can imagine more layoffs in this supposedly 'strategic' and 'growth' domain. Azure layoffs have gone on every year since 2020 (the media almost never mentions this and trolls from Microsoft are very sensitive about this topic, based on what we saw in IRC).
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; People who will work for Microsoft are very anxious, but they feel unable to leave as not many other companies recruit at all. As a result, they overwork (for the same salary) and the work they do under stress is of worse quality. Hiring standards fell sharply -- to the point where Microsoft hires employees who literally stab other employees [[cref 172133 1], [cref 170617 2], [cref 170567 3], [cref 170644 4]]."

05:56 schestowitz[TR]; quick response to gulagtroll
05:56 schestowitz[TR]; party A has key
05:56 schestowitz[TR]; party b has key
05:57 schestowitz[TR]; part A controls the server
05:57 schestowitz[TR]; both A and B see all commons
05:57 schestowitz[TR]; server sees comm
05:57 schestowitz[TR]; A is server
05:57 lord_bagira; that's accurate. not end-to-end by utility if server owner has a key but would prob skirt a lawsuit.
05:58 mjg59_; And party B and C on the server cannot communicate without party A being able to see their communications
05:58 mjg59_; So, not end-to-end
05:58 schestowitz[TR]; part C comes to server
05:58 schestowitz[TR]; C spaks with A
05:58 schestowitz[TR]; A controls server
05:58 schestowitz[TR]; A and C are just another A and B
05:58 schestowitz[TR]; still safe
05:59 mjg59_; The material is encrypted until it reaches the server. The server decrypts it. The server then re-encrypts it to send it to the recipient.
05:59 lord_bagira; it allows interception of communication by more than sender and target by means of authority/access
05:59 mjg59_; This is, by definition, not end-to-end.
05:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
06:00 schestowitz[TR]; the server is one of the ends

06:00 schestowitz[TR]; not wasting any more time on this
06:00 schestowitz[TR]; got 3 posts to publish now
06:01 lord_bagira; the server is not one of the ends. the sender client and the receiver client are the ends. if someone (c) can get on the server and read comms between (a) and (b) that might be good enough for marketing as end-to-end but is truly not end-to-end by utility
06:01 mjg59_; For something to be end-to-end, the keys need to be on the endpoints, not on any server
06:02 lord_bagira; good enough for corporate as long as they own the server, but not for multiparty communications
06:02 mjg59_; Mumble is not end-to-end
06:03 lord_bagira; like if the server were hosted internally for internal communications that would be considered end to end
06:03 mjg59_; Definitionally, no
06:03 mjg59_; It might still be considered a reasonable level of security
06:04 lord_bagira; yes if C is owned by org, and A and B are org clients, A->C->B is end-to-end encryption for data in movement but fails the data at rest checkbox
06:04 lord_bagira; welllll in some contexts
06:05 lord_bagira; it would pass some corporate audits but i wouldn't send launch codes over it
06:06 lord_bagira; the controlling party is contextual to that definition if its all behind the demarc
06:06 lord_bagira; who has the keys. the business has the keys. actor A and B are business actors. host is internal. that checks.

07:46 DaemonFC; Loans past due.

07:47 schestowitz[TR]; because you combine reevenuue of the companmy you buy
07:47 DaemonFC; Yes, you see a lot of companies like this if you look at fundamentals.
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; with money you don't have
07:47 DaemonFC; Nobody does.
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; remember: you are borrrowing
07:47 DaemonFC; Lots of revenue. GROWING REVENUE.
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; becauuse you have "potential"
07:47 DaemonFC; No money. Loses more money every year.
07:47 DaemonFC; Aurora, and Mat Gulag.

07:47 DaemonFC; *Matt
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; bankers also claim revenue growth
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; they give out more mortgages
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; doling out money that does not exist

07:48 schestowitz[TR]; because the mortgages are taken by people among Z,, Z23, Z3...

07:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The banks are getting weird about bank robberies.
07:48 schestowitz[TR]; it's a giant pozi scheme
07:48 schestowitz[TR]; it is circular
07:48 DaemonFC; Some of the tellers chased one down into the streets the other day here.
07:48 DaemonFC; Over $1,500!
07:48 DaemonFC; Which wasn't even their loss.

07:49 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, the system is dead

07:49 schestowitz[TR]; it's not that it doesn't know it yet
07:49 schestowitz[TR]; it's denying it

07:50 schestowitz[TR]; 7% inflation is good

07:56 schestowitz[TR]; china is keeping out

07:57 DaemonFC; I don't get it.
07:57 schestowitz[TR]; off the chart
07:57 schestowitz[TR]; people lost everything
07:57 schestowitz[TR]; so they go on terror rampage
07:57 schestowitz[TR]; killing kids too
07:57 schestowitz[TR]; kids they don't know
07:57 schestowitz[TR]; way to say "fuck the system"
07:58 DaemonFC; Oh, you mean the tranny with an AR-15?
07:58 schestowitz[TR]; two issues here
07:58 schestowitz[TR]; one, the shooting
07:58 schestowitz[TR]; two, rejection of the self

07:59 DaemonFC; Then CNN worried more about misgendering the tranny than the kids it shot.
07:59 schestowitz[TR]; sane people don't shoot kids
07:59 schestowitz[TR]; kids they never saw
07:59 schestowitz[TR]; sane people stop doing it

08:01 DaemonFC; And they wonder why I don't like them!
08:01 lord_bagira; i was full of shit on that btw
08:01 DaemonFC; They try to latch on to the gay rights movement and there's something DEEPLY fucking WRONG with all of them.
08:01 lord_bagira; re: data at rest
08:02 DaemonFC; I don't like trannies. They set the gay rights movement back a lot. It's like having NAMBLA back and trying to get in and just letting them in.
08:03 DaemonFC; Maybe the only thing most people respond to worse than a tranny is a pedophile, and not by much.
08:03 DaemonFC; They may not voice it, for fear of losing their job.
08:03 DaemonFC; But it's the same level of disgust with like maybe a 3" gap between the two.
08:04 DaemonFC; It disgusts the rational mind because it is a total perversion of the human body.
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, back on tech topic now
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; wee talked about the us economy
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; and how it leads many people astray
08:05 DaemonFC; Yeah, I mean fuck that asshole. I mean, like, just because people were bad to you doesn't mean you have the right to grab a gun and kill kids.
08:05 DaemonFC; You think nobody was ever really awful to me?
08:05 DaemonFC; I didn't shoot people because of it.
08:06 DaemonFC; It's fucking gross the kind of social rot we have and a lot of it is thanks to the left.
08:06 DaemonFC; Bringing perversions into it and pissing everyone the hell off and then isolating them to stew in their anger.
08:06 schestowitz[TR]; back on topic now...?
08:06 schestowitz[TR]; ftr, it's very very rare trans people do this
08:06 schestowitz[TR]; this is the first i know of
08:06 DaemonFC; Yeah, well, some of it is economic, sure.
08:07 schestowitz[TR]; almost always hetero white male in the us
08:07 DaemonFC; But you know, people in Indiana tend to behave better.
08:07 schestowitz[TR]; sometimes arab male
08:07 schestowitz[TR]; and then it's called terror attack
08:07 DaemonFC; Even in poverty, they behave themselves.
08:07 schestowitz[TR]; instead of mass shooting
08:07 DaemonFC; People in Illinois don't.
08:07 DaemonFC; Where I came from? Poor as dirt. Nobody shooting each other.
08:08 DaemonFC; It's not all about income, you know. Some people are violent degenerate filth.
08:08 DaemonFC; Others are just poor.

08:08 DaemonFC; Crime is tolerated (revolving door policy)
08:09 DaemonFC; Democrats are SUPER shitty to poor people and they run the state
08:09 schestowitz[TR]; it's a cultural thing, too
08:09 DaemonFC; They spend us into oblivion to where nobody can afford a house and then they think the worst thing going on is the pronouns.
08:09 schestowitz[TR]; culture is contangeous
08:09 schestowitz[TR]; lke obesity in the us
08:09 schestowitz[TR]; it make it more socially intolerable
08:09 schestowitz[TR]; in some towns, shooting someone shames the family
08:09 schestowitz[TR]; so if you shoot some poeople you hurt your loved ones
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; they're seen as enemy of the local community
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; or race
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; or sexual orientation
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; so you don't do it
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; you hurt more than the people you dislike
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; but when culture loses that
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; then all hell breaks loose
08:10 DaemonFC; Yes, the Democrats.
08:10 DaemonFC; Every state they run is Illinois or worse.
08:10 schestowitz[TR]; *contagious
08:11 DaemonFC; There's only a few flaming Democrat shit heaps that are worse than Illinois.
08:11 DaemonFC; Like parts of Oregon, New York (especially NYC), all of New Jersey.
08:11 DaemonFC; You put them in, everything dies.
08:11 DaemonFC; The economy dies.
08:12 DaemonFC; You have illegal immigrants everywhere. You have drug dealers everywhere that don't get punished.
08:12 DaemonFC; Hit and runs every day.
08:12 DaemonFC; Carjackings.
08:12 DaemonFC; Carjackings followed by hit and runs (happened today).
08:12 DaemonFC; People here are monsters.
08:13 DaemonFC; If you don't carry a gun you need your head examined.
08:13 DaemonFC; It's violent, poverty-stricken, and shitty.
08:13 DaemonFC; And there's like one Black judge. All the judges are these super wealthy white men who just, they're soft.

13:22 TR Bot; The Register: Enterprise Technology News and Analysis
13:22 schestowitz[TR]; they probably pay them for it!!
13:22 psydruid; and lose more familiarity with their software
13:22 schestowitz[TR]; biab, checking some stuff
13:22 psydruid; which hinders its Azure clown ambitions
13:23 psydruid; buying used is the thing to do with modern x86 hardware
13:24 psydruid; no money for Microsoft, Intel, AMD and Nvidia
13:26 schestowitz[TR]; it's money down the drain
13:26 schestowitz[TR]; for some nazi to be your admin
13:26 schestowitz[TR]; and then stab other people
13:26 schestowitz[TR]; because he doesn't like them
13:26 schestowitz[TR]; they are "indian"
13:27 psydruid; those "indians" are only doing it for the money
13:27 schestowitz[TR]; unlike americans
13:27 psydruid; if there is no more money in it they will move to something else
13:28 schestowitz[TR]; the "real"' ones
13:28 psydruid; they're not cultists
13:28 schestowitz[TR]; they are "Sole" "loners"
13:28 schestowitz[TR]; who have GUNZ
13:28 schestowitz[TR]; "lone wolves"
13:28 schestowitz[TR]; equipped with knife and drugZZZZ
13:29 psydruid; I've seen some Americans express "worries" about AIX development moving to India completely
13:29 psydruid; but most of the work was already done in India
13:30 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
13:30 psydruid; probably because most developers are familiar with *nix
13:30 schestowitz[TR]; you beat me to it
13:30 schestowitz[TR]; was about to say,
13:30 schestowitz[TR]; it was already i india
13:30 schestowitz[TR]; *in

13:30 psydruid; not because they were dying to steal your jobs

13:30 schestowitz[TR]; no topic ideas in email this morning
13:31 schestowitz[TR]; checking other avenues... with morning coffee (yes, late morning... :-))
13:31 psydruid; without them the OS would probably already have been dead and axed
13:32 psydruid; but it's hard to get this mentality out of people that developers in a developing country may actually be better at this stuff or there may be more of them to keep things going
13:33 psydruid; you also see lots of programming books (co-)written by Indians these days
13:39 schestowitz[TR]; even in english!
13:39 schestowitz[TR]; not their native tongue!
13:40 psydruid; for many of them it is their native tongue, but they're a minority

14:08 schestowitz[TR]; the <1% who cannot determine what they are
14:08 schestowitz[TR]; and insist that's the "new normal"
14:08 schestowitz[TR]; and github ios cool
14:08 schestowitz[TR]; he uses github
14:08 schestowitz[TR]; to make anti-linux crap
14:08 schestowitz[TR]; for microsoft
14:10 psydruid; that's why he's been trolling so hard over the past week or so
14:10 psydruid; github is cold
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; layoffs
14:10 psydruid; because it's dead
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; even in india
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; i say even
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; because they are low-paid
14:10 psydruid; or close to dead
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; the typical BS is,
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; they just lay off, hire in india
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; here, in github, it's the opposuite
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; they fired everyone in india
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; the whole lot
14:11 schestowitz[TR]; they also fired in sf
14:11 schestowitz[TR]; they fire graveley, too
14:11 schestowitz[TR]; eventially
14:11 psydruid; admission that they've lost india?

14:11 schestowitz[TR]; turns out employing criminals is not good for business

14:12 schestowitz[TR]; crime is a liability
14:12 schestowitz[TR]; and if you defend and help criminals, people will speak out
14:12 psydruid; they should start their own businesses and not rely on american sales so much

14:18 schestowitz[TR]; it's known as sociopathy
14:18 schestowitz[TR]; and it is a mental condition
14:18 schestowitz[TR]; borderline mental illness
14:18 schestowitz[TR]; when you actively seek to harm other people

21:53 DaemonFC; I don't know if that's funny business, or they're depositing the funds that they haven't posted yet in short term investments, or they just want to be damned sure it's not a fake check.
21:54 DaemonFC; If they delay the posting, it means that's money you can't spend yet, which means they have the money in their deposits and it increases their reserves at any given time.

22:56 DaemonFC; I went out and jacked up the Dodge Caravan that that guy I was dating for a while who attacked me (later) was driving. He was complaining that his van was stalling out and it turned out to be a sensor with some wiring that had gotten exposed.
22:56 DaemonFC; So I just had him give me the cash for a sensor and reached up there and replaced it myself.
22:56 DaemonFC; No more stalls at the car wash or puddles. No more engine light.
22:56 DaemonFC; Some things you are better off fixing yourself.
22:57 DaemonFC; They'll gladly charge you an extra $200 to put the car on a lift and unplug something and plug something else in.
22:57 DaemonFC; Then he goes to fucking Jiffy Lube and gets talked into an engine flush on a 400,000 mile engine that wasn't doing anything wrong, amazingly.
22:58 DaemonFC; (Dodge...400,000 miles)
22:58 DaemonFC; (Al Bundy?)
22:58 DaemonFC; All of a sudden, it's leaking a quart of oil every 5 days and he's screaming about all the oil he's having to put in.
22:58 DaemonFC; I had to run a flush through the Buick's engine.
22:58 DaemonFC; But that's only got 62,000 miles on it.
22:59 DaemonFC; I kept a good eye on it for several months to make sure the oil stayed at the correct level.
22:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
23:00 DaemonFC; I didn't have much choice. I started getting "LOW OIL PRESSURE" on start on cold mornings and the flush ended up cleaning a fair bit of sludge out of the system.
23:00 DaemonFC; Warning hasn't come back since then so I think I got lucky.
23:00 DaemonFC; Oil pumps on that car are expensive just for the part, nevermind paying someone to replace one.
23:01 DaemonFC; I think "Diane" just let it sit and sit and some old motor oil left some crud here and there. There was also a carbon problem in the fuel injectors.
23:01 DaemonFC; I kept running GM injector cleaner in it until the problems went away.
23:02 DaemonFC; If you let a car sit and don't change the oil out "because I'm not driving it", it still goes bad in there.
23:02 DaemonFC; Once you crack the seal on a bottle of oil, you have about a year to use that bottle up, even if it's never been in the engine.
23:02 DaemonFC; That's why for top off quarts, get a quart, not a jug.
23:02 DaemonFC; <MinceR> i doubt it would work any better if it was made of gold
23:03 DaemonFC; Midas is a chain of auto repair shops.
23:03 DaemonFC; Sometimes I go to Car-X and sometimes I go to the Chevy dealership.
23:03 DaemonFC; For oil, the dealer always has a coupon so there's no reason not to.
23:03 DaemonFC; They use the OEM oil and filters, and they're the same price as anyone at that point.
23:04 DaemonFC; They also do a full inspection of your car to tell you what's going on with it and what needs to be fixed soon.
23:04 DaemonFC; That's why they do the oil specials.
23:04 DaemonFC; It leads to extra work for the shop that they're more likely to get since you're at their shop anyway.
23:05 DaemonFC; You'll never go too wrong with OEM parts. There's good aftermarkets for some things. Or at least acceptable aftermarket parts, like suspension stuff.
23:05 DaemonFC; I never go OEM on suspension parts.

23:25 DaemonFC; I thought about asking them for the three seashells, but none of them would have gotten it.
23:25 MinceR; :>
23:33 DaemonFC; MinceR, I was looking at P&G's earnings statement.
23:34 DaemonFC; They said that demand for their diapers is way down.
23:34 DaemonFC; And also for shaving supplies.
23:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Don't need diapers if you can't afford kids.
23:34 DaemonFC; Don't need to shave when there's no work.
23:34 DaemonFC; :)
