[12:53:34] <janrinok> Bytram should be appearing about now
[19:08:03] <chromas> takyon's confusing me with his subs
[19:08:54] <chromas> I posted his first Microsoft Surface story, then suddenly there's another
[19:09:17] <chromas> Let's make a day of Microsoft Surface stories :D
[19:15:20] <chromas> Also, takyon PING
[19:15:45] <chromas> acceleration for "AI" link is borked
[19:16:07] <chromas> in your New Surface AMD Ryzen sub
[22:10:19] <Bytram> chromas: thanks for pointing out the borken link. Tracked down a link that seems to fit, even though the found link (from Qualcomm) claims 7 TeraOPS instead of the story submission's 9 teraOPS. Updated out story accordingly.
[22:11:19] <Bytram> janrinok: /me had major car trouble last night and spent AM trying to coordinate repairs, work schedule, and taking a much-needed nap. Car is still in the shop, but am hopeful it will be running by end-of-day tomorrow.

[22:44:05] <Bytram> Okay, got an errand to run. Hope to be back before too long.
[22:44:10] <Bytram> afk
[23:43:42] <Bytram> Fnord666: !!
[23:44:53] <Fnord666> Bytram!!!
[23:45:01] <Fnord666> How's it going??
[23:45:03] <Bytram> How ARE you?
[23:45:11] <Bytram> *I* am doing okay.
[23:45:11] <Fnord666> I am doing well.
[23:45:15] <Bytram> My car, not so much.
[23:45:22] <Fnord666> oh no
[23:45:37] <Fnord666> you're on vacation aren't you?
[23:45:50] <Bytram> Apparently some kind of air purging valve for the coolant system decided to explode (well split in half)
[23:45:58] <Bytram> heard "Boom!"
[23:46:06] <Bytram> andimmediately heard gushing fluid
[23:46:15] <Fnord666> Can't think of a case where that's a good thing
[23:46:25] <Bytram> and saw gobs of steam coming out from under the hood
[23:46:26] <chromas> I think there's a porn genre for that
[23:46:41] <Fnord666> Spontaneous disassembly?
[23:46:57] <Bytram> Fortunately, I had been waiting at a traffic light, and 10 feet ahead was an entrance to a convenience store,
[23:47:17] <Bytram> so just kinda idled in, parked it, and turned off the engine.
[23:47:31] <Fnord666> rule 34 chromas?
[23:47:48] <Bytram> Opened the hood to it continuing to steam as condensed steam dripped (streamed) from hood
[23:48:04] <Fnord666> that was fortunate, also that it decided to fail dramatically rather than quietly
[23:48:05] <Bytram> Long story short, I have Roadside Assistance through AMEX
[23:48:18] <chromas> your credit card?
[23:48:31] <Bytram> and, 90-minutes later, I was home and my car was being taken by flatbed to my garage
[23:48:34] <Bytram> yes
[23:48:48] <Fnord666> Not a bad turnaround
[23:48:56] <Bytram> They took a quick look at it early today, but havenot heard anything much. since.
[23:49:14] <Bytram> well, first thing I did was to realize I was a bit shaken up
[23:49:35] <Bytram> went into the store, bought to slices of 'roni pizza and got some food in my belly
[23:49:46] <Bytram> then I made the phone call to get things taken care of.
[23:50:03] <chromas> pizza++
[23:50:03] <Bender> karma - pizza: 3
[23:50:21] <Bytram> I'm guessing, when all is said and done, between the towing, parts, and labor, I'm prolly looking at $300-400
[23:50:26] <Fnord666> nothing like a shot of adrenaline to brighten the day
[23:50:27] <chromas> 🎜what it's like....havin' a 'roni🎝
[23:50:36] <Bytram> maybe as much as $500. I dunno
[23:50:49] <Fnord666> AMEX doesn't cover the tow
[23:50:50] <Fnord666> ?
[23:50:55] <Bytram> At least it happened on a side street at creeping-along speed

[23:51:41] <Bytram> they arrange connections with garages, put out a request, and take care of contacting the tow service and I get a best rate negotiated by AMEX
[23:52:19] <Bytram> It's Roadside *Assistance*, and not Roadside *Service*
[23:52:27] <Bytram> Still, I'm grateful I have it.
[23:53:00] <Bytram> So, imagine if it happened 5 minutes earlier when I was powering up a 1/4 mile long hill, in traffic.
[23:53:25] <Bytram> Or out on the interstate. (Towing on limited access highways can be *very* expensive, I've heard)
[23:53:42] <Fnord666> ah, ok
[23:53:53] <Bytram> Just got the car's registration renewed a week earlier!
[23:54:15] <Bytram> Still, as much money as that is, it's still less than a couple months' car payments.
[23:54:20] <Bytram> The car is payed for.
[23:54:24] <Fnord666> yup
[23:54:29] <Bytram> It's old, so insurance rates are low
[23:54:40] <Bytram> and so was the registration/excise tax, too.
[23:55:04] <Bytram> I may sing a different tune when I get the final tally, but I'm trying to stay positive.
[23:55:04] <Fnord666> If you take care of them, cars can last
[23:55:19] <Bytram> Lot better than they used to, that's for sure!
[23:55:27] <Bytram> Got a minute?
