[00:28:22] <swiss> wtf, shop wants $650 in labor alone to swap my clutch
[00:28:25] <swiss> lolnothanks
[00:40:51] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - News Photographer Who Refuses to Turn Over Camera is Arrested - http://sylnt.us - police-state
[00:54:14] <arti> maybe you should tip them more?
[00:54:22] <arti> that way you get better deals
[00:54:35] <arti> otherwise you're just being cheap
[00:54:50] <swiss> this is my first time callin them
[00:54:57] <swiss> the normal shop i talk to doesn't touch transmissions
[00:55:18] <swiss> they might do a clutch swap if i ask nice, but i also have a dying input shaft bearing
[00:55:19] <arti> you gotta establish a relationship somewhere, tip heavy and see if they scratch your back
[00:55:32] <swiss> yeah, that's what i do to the main shop i hit up
[00:55:35] <arti> do a full 100% tip, so $1300
[00:56:00] <swiss> they like me lots since i don't bitch about price on things that need to be done, pay what i need to, and take care of the trivial shit myself
[00:56:23] <arti> changing foglights can be a pita
[00:56:29] <arti> "i have to remove the bumper?"
[00:56:41] <swiss> i deal with all that
[00:57:01] <swiss> i go to them for the stuff that's a pain to do without some specialized piece of equipment
[00:57:14] <swiss> like if i need a new hub bearing, i don't have a giant friggin press
[00:58:01] <swiss> but new suspension? I put that in myself. New brakes? I install that myself too
[00:58:05] <swiss> new engine? Installed that myself
[00:58:30] <swiss> but it's a fuckin pain to get under my car and get the trans off

[01:02:06] <Konomi> etc
[01:02:27] <SpallsHurgenson> on the other hand, I'll give the TSA this much: I am much less under threat from any sort of disaster while flying thanks to them
[01:02:35] <SpallsHurgenson> mostly because, thanks to the TSA, I gave up flying :)
[01:03:41] <chromas> someone should submit that. need moar comments
[01:09:01] <SpallsHurgenson> I nominate chromas!

[01:42:24] <SpallsHurgenson> useful fact: it's really, REALLY hard to juggle neutrinos
[01:49:37] <SpallsHurgenson> "90% of all IT departments can be driven bat shit crazy by installing a simple light timer on a router or switch and hiding it in the rats nest of power and other cables. Set the timer to be "anti burgular" mode where it adds randomness and have it drop power to a piece of gear for only 10 minutes once a day, because in 10 minutes by the time they get to the network closet, it will be back on and running." - oh god, I am so do

[03:58:03] <arti> wasn't that the year of a big snow storm?
[03:58:08] <arti> in the NE
[03:59:33] * arti reads
[04:00:26] <juggs> Well warm air would cause more moisture to be in the air - so a big snow dump would not be unexpected really.
[04:01:51] <SpallsHurgenson> probably thinking of the winter after krakatoa in (wiki) 1883
[04:02:01] <arti> wonder why it doesn't snow all the time with political speeches

[04:52:11] <SirFinkus> this fucking space heater, I can have my room be either 16 or 25, no in between settings
[04:52:33] <arti> my rule is 18+
[04:52:53] <SirFinkus> 16 is too cold, 25 too warm
[04:53:05] <arti> by process of elimination you are mama bear
[04:53:29] <SirFinkus> 20 is about right
[04:53:42] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't understand Celsius; can you translate that to degrees on the Roemer scale?
[04:53:52] <SirFinkus> 20-22 is the range I'd like
[04:53:56] <SirFinkus> nope

[06:00:17] <arti> or a jetboat
[06:08:12] <swiss> just another couple thousand
[06:08:29] <swiss> arti: but what if i want to poop without a loud ass fan going over my head?
[06:08:46] <swiss> or i need to vent my bathroom because i took a shower, and i don't want to waste power on the lights?
[06:10:55] <chromas> you just need to poop and shower in the same visit
[06:13:09] <swiss> lol
[06:13:20] <arti> well you can expedite the process with fiber. look at it this way, if you have smelly guests over it's an improvement.
[06:13:52] <arti> do you have electrical socket(s) in there?
[06:14:33] <arti> maybe you can get a clapper and install a window mounted fan and light. you'd only have to deal with one switch :D
[06:15:06] <arti> to be clear, not a window mounted light. but if you desire that, by all means.
[06:17:15] <arti> perhaps you can make a window? i recommend diamond pickaxes if you're in a hurry.
[06:17:34] <arti> you can cheap out with some stone ones, if you want to save some materials.
[06:18:22] <swiss> arti: the fan is due to the lack of windows mainly
[06:19:05] <arti> well then, install a light and unscrew the bulb you've got in your in-line setup and finally get a clapper.
[06:19:16] <arti> ikea :D
[06:24:18] <swiss> lol
[06:25:01] <arti> it's a hack, but linux guys are no strangers
[06:29:30] <swiss> i debated it, but what i'd more likely do is put an in-line insteon/x10 switch past the fan in the circuit, and then hook up the fan to another switch
[06:29:35] <swiss> and control them over powerline
[06:30:15] <arti> you could just flip the breaker and pretend you're in moria
[06:31:30] <swiss> lol
[06:31:31] <ciri> lol damn!
[06:31:43] <swiss> my conversion to insteon is nearly complete :D
[06:31:54] <swiss> then my house will be controllable from my phone
[06:32:14] <arti> can you make it follow you?
[06:32:22] <swiss> not yet
[06:33:01] <arti> there should be an app for that
