Yesterday I got a check engine light. The freaking communists in the UAW programmed that damn thing to go off on Labor Day. The one day all the shops are guaranteed to be closed, thus forcing me to go to an authorized dealer if I wanted to get it cleared. Its a goddamn conspiracy.
Its cool I got it pulled at AutoZone.
Did something happen this weekend? I keep pulling up news in Latin America and I keep coming up with news of some special election where the communists declared they were “going to the streets” to “defend” the result.
Turns out the result wasn’t quite what they expected.
One of the ironies is the rejected constitution included provisions for gender parity and women had the right to vote for 70 years…plenty of gender traitors in the midst.
“This is a badly written constitution,” said Carmen Fuentes, 61, who cast her vote in a wealthy north-eastern suburb of Santiago. “There’s been a division in this country for a long time, and this plebiscite won’t change that.”
Many criticised the document’s guarantees for Indigenous people, which they said would divide Chile. Others warned that the shakeup of the political system was unnecessary and experimental.
Want a quick compare and contrast of the current and rejected versions of their government?
The 388-article proposed charter, besides focusing on social issues and the environment, also introduced rights to free education, health care and housing. It would have established autonomous Indigenous territories and recognized a parallel justice system in those areas, although lawmakers would decide how far-reaching that would be.
In contrast, the current constitution is a market-friendly document that favors the private sector over the state in aspects like education, pensions and health care. It also makes no reference to the country’s Indigenous population, which makes up almost 13% of the population.
I mean, fine recognize the existence of Indios…
The reaction is predictable.
Here’s a good rundown of local reactions to the three year process that got them to the point the communists were overwhelmingly voted down 62%-38%.
Enjoy the white pill and have a good tune.
This was some of the best news I heard when I started paying attention to the internet again after the weekend.
Yeah, once in a while those chaps from points south surprise you. I allowed myself a grunt of satisfaction not heard since the Nicaraguans picked Chamorro over Danny Ortega back in 1990. ‘Course, that one didn’t last.
After the defeat of the new Constitution in Chile, colombian president Gustavo Petro tweeted “Pinochet is alive again”.
If only.
Pinochet was a cold hearted and bad dude, worse than Corn Pop most likely, but he saved his country from communist hell and that’s OK in my book.
Corn Pop failed us all when he didn’t beat Joe with Joe’s own pool chain.
Some people claim that if they had a time machine, they’d kill baby Hitler. Others would hide the pool chain.
I came across a meme where young Hitler only became Hitler because of the number of time travelers that attempted to kill him.
LOL
For the cost involved, a OBDII reader in the junk drawer of your kitchen or glove box of the car is well worth it.
I have this one.
It’s just nice to be able to clear codes or determine how bad your problem is.
I opted for a much cheaper model, but it works well enough. Like Timeloose, it’s tipped me off to a couple of bad sensors which were trivial DIY fixes, so it paid for itself the first time I used it.
I had a cheaper one, but it wouldn’t always read the VW codes.
In fairness, this one won’t always, either, but it’s worked most of the time. We are a Ford, VW, Toyota and Subaru family now, so I wanted one that did more.
I really debated whether to get one of the more full-featured BT models when I bought that one, because you can get real-time performance data as well, which is nice for diagnostics and tuning. But ultimately I decided it would be wasted on my use case. Single guy, one relatively low mileage 2006 Hyundai Elantra beater, not riced. I just need to know if I’m ordering parts or sending it to the scrap yard.
On my old Tahoe, it didn’t specify which of the four O2 sensors was shitty, so I graphed the four and discovered which one was messed up.
Goddamn cool, really.
Yeah, that would be really nice for certain vehicles. I had a ’97 Mercury
MountaineerMutineer, the bastard cousin of the FordExplorerExploder. I never realized it had 4 catalytic converters until it threw a code and didn’t specify which of them was faulty…My husband has one of those. It’s saved our bank account a few times.
I got a cheapo one. I’m now the goto person in the family when the dreaded light comes on. It also helps to diagnose minor engine issues and weird or abnormal running. I replaced a lot of 30$ sensors and saved many trips to the 100$/hr. mechanic.
+1
The codes don’t really say what the problem is, but they can point you in the right direction. Also, my Abarth throws a code every time my wife stalls the engine, and I’d hate to have to go to Autozone or the dealer to clear it every time.
Will that clear the code?
Yessir. Mind you, it’ll come back unless you resolve the underlying problem.
Well…the underlying problem is a pretty big one but not until next summer when I need emissions testing.
You can just keep clearing it when it pops up until you’re ready to have the work done. Keeps the annoyance at bay at least.
Sometimes it’s just a glitch. I’ve cleared codes that never came back.
You can also clear the codes the way my dad used to do it. Put a piece of electrical tape over the Check Engine Light.
Me to XY while driving: Do you hear that clack-clack-clack in the wheel?
XY: *rolls up window and turns on radio*
XY: No.
At least it wasn’t a click-clack

I love this type of shit. If a non-resident power can decide your level of autonomy, you’re not actually autonomous. Progs, as always, are idiots unless they’re just lying.

I like to fantasize about fuck-you money. My wants are few, or at least, they aren’t terribly expensive. A housekeeper would be nice. I’d probably donate to a lot of charities (battered women’s shelters, Habitat for Humanity, tiny homes for homeless veterans, and the arts), and help individuals get back on their feet, when I become aware of them.
I just want to never experience summer again. One house in the Rockies, one house in the Andes, et voila!
I hear ya.
It is funny. What we would wish for at, say, 25 (basically an Xmas list) vs. what we would wish for at 50 (basically help others.) I don’t need much at this point, or have already gotten it through hard work.

Well, Squid Game was well-received…
They’re still shipping LNG and are going to make a shitload of money doing it.
Im not going to get into the health effects. I DO know from testing many hundreds of turbines that at a low or medium load, they generate tons of NO2, which isn’t good to breathe. So maybe in Cali it would be a bad idea. Nitrogen compounds (NO, NO2, N2O, aka NOx) contribute to ground-level ozone. So again….prolly not great for Cali.
Now in Nevada, Wyoming, or Iowa? Sure.
“Jennifer Lawrence revealed in a recent Vogue interview that she is unable to move past her family’s right-leaning political positions, especially in the wake of the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the birth of her baby son.
She told the fashion mag that her distaste for conservative politics extends past her waking hours – she has nightmares about Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The 32-year-old actress, who was raised in Kentucky, told Vogue that she has spoken with her therapist about a recurring nightmare of hers that prominently features the immensely popular right-wing commentator….
Tucker Carlson, who boasts the highest nightly ratings of any talk show host on cable, called Lawrence ‘out of touch’ for her views on climate change in 2017. He has never commented on whether or not she is featured in his dreams.”

Good to see people coming to their senses re communists. There is so much BS going around now that I would not be surprised that people lost the taste for “liberalism”.
OT, we had to have our incredibly ancient cat put to sleep last night. Which is not a fun way to end a weekend. But, she was 20+, so not a big surprise. She was a feisty torty to the end, and when that stopped, we knew it was time.
Also, shot trap for the first time in a dozen years, and man do I suck now.
So, reverse Brookesed that.
So sorry to hear about your kitty. Helluva run, though!
Do you still have others?
Three more. We adopted a bonded pair as we knew that this would be the second pet death after our dog died last year, and didn’t want to quiet of a house.
Gilmore’d.
Ot: Mo, I need some advice and you have experience in this area. Milady needs a reverse shoulder replacement that will keep her abed/in rehab/generally out of circulation for as long as four or five months. This means that she’ll need me around the house on a semi-permanent basis for an extended period, so I’ll have to give up my present job and find some kind of WFH employment.
You once mentioned you’d done medical coding, so I thought I’d check with you to see just how easy or difficult it is.
Can you enlighten me? Gotta admit, I don’t know diddley about it.
No, I do medical transcription which industry is on life support. Do not do that.
I am taking a course in medical coding (although my studies are on hold at the moment because family drama and I can’t concentrate). I am taking what is probably the hardest (and most expensive) course out there because that school has a good reputation.
However, I found a few YouTuber coders and one is super helpful and has a course, so you don’t have to drop 5 large. Stalk this channel.
When I got my rotator cuff repaired, my doc yelled at me for taking too long between diagnosis and treatment, so I had to do a 3-point repair instead of a 4-point. I was half-abled for weeks, but I could drive because it was my right shoulder and I could reach my gearshift with my left hand. Anyway, he told me it would only last 10 years and I would have to have it replaced. The reverse shoulder replacement was just coming into vogue then and now I understand it’s state of the art.
Thanks for the info! Got it saved and I’ll look it over later tonight.
In Milady’s case, well, she’s looking forward and not looking forward to the surgery. Luckily, the firm of orthopods we’re working with are both teachers and practitioners. I hope your doctor was wrong about the rotator cuff repair but as you said, the art’s advanced considerably.
In my shoulder’s case, I had torn it and re-injured it years before. I kept having steroid injections (although they lasted a LOOOOONG time), but then I got the official diagnosis and didn’t feel I could afford the time off. Anyway, so it was about 5 or 7 years from tear to diagnosis, then I waited about 3 years more wih steroid injections because I was doing DIY stuff and whatnot. I was burnin’ daylight, you know???
Then, months later, I had to stop the DIY when I started having certain, ah, women problems, which forced me into surgery, and then after I recovered from THAT, I could no longer lift a framing nailer. That’s when I decided to do it. I waited about 3 years between diagnosis and surgery, about 10 years from injury to repair. I wish I’d just gotten it done when he told me to.
20+, wow! Sorry.
My condolences on the cat. I had to put our old cat down and hated it.
I think people are coming to their senses on all this commie BS. I have volumes of old comic books, they push patriotism, talk about the evil commies/dictators, etc… Always they pushed individual freedom. I miss that. It would be nice to see that kind of pride come back. Not sure how many helicopter rides that will take.
Sorry about your kitty.
Cool that you started shooting trap again, though.
Well, sort of. I don’t have a trap gun, so used an old hunting shotgun. And trying to load a pump between calls is a pain. But my shooting partner is a duck hunter, so I can see myself being out there more often. I might need to trade into a decent, entry level trap single if I keep this up.
Also, Very sorry about your kitty. We have a long-haired tortie with a bobbed tail. She’s gorgeous, but she’s also a bit tetched in the head.
RIP. That’s a good long life for a cat though. My longest lived cat lasted 19 years, and we got him when I was 3 years old, so we grew up together.
My condolences, although 20+ is an amazing run.
Sorry about your cat.
Good that you are shooting trap again.
Sorry to hear that. We understand. We lost an 18-year old here a while back and do miss the critter something fierce.
Sorry about the cat.
Sorry about the kitty kat
Sorry about the kitty. Ours is 21, so we know it’s going to be soon.

I watched some Marx Brothers movies last night. Should we dig up Groucho’s corpse and sue him for peddling cigars in a movie children find amusing?
I think there is some version of Alice in Wonderland where they edited out the caterpillar’s hookah.

Regulators: “Marketing to teenagers! You should be ashamed! Give us money!”

*Wiggles eyebrows.
It’s under 40 here. Unless that’s for tobacco. I haven’t gone through a manned checkout lane since the COVID bullshit started, so I haven’t seen the placard in a while.
Here the magic 35 is for buying tobacco. No such requirement for booze. I guess the anti-tobacco nazis here have more sway than the anti-alcohol nazis.

The vote deals a stinging setback to President Gabriel Boric, who at 36, is Chile’s youngest-ever president. Boric had tied his fortunes so closely to the new document that analysts said it was likely some voters saw the plebiscite as a referendum on his government at a time when his approval ratings have been plunging since he took office in March.
🙂
Is he one of those WEF Klaus boyz like Trudeau? I hope he is.

LOL. Voting in MA. I gave my street address. The poll worker asks me if I’m [my first name]? I say yes. Then he asks me which ballot I want today Democrat or Republican. I’ve never been asked to show any ID.
“Both, please.”
I confess I didn’t bother.
I’m afraid that if I don’t show up there won’t be a single Republican ballot cast in my precinct.
That’d be a distinct possibility in this ward. Half the ballot slots don’t even have a Republican candidate.
New York actually does require ID – and they match the signature on your license to the signature on your registration.
Of course, that’s only if you vote in person.

Just had a guy from Jacks Appliance repair out to check out our General Electric fridge-freezer that we bought new in May from Home Depot.
He said that GE has become crap, that LG and Samsung have ongoing class action lawsuits against them over their fridges, and that the EPA is pretty much the problem.
Our fridge (unbeknownst to us at the time of purchase) doesn’t use Freon, it uses propane. Which causes condensation on every joint. There’s copper and steel combos caused galvanic coupling and corrosion, combined with the water condensate and just dissolves the whole damned system. He said we could get it repaired but that it would inevitably break down again. He then used his service computer to look up all “known problems” with that model and listed them off to me, recommending I call GE armed with all the facts and demand a refund.
Then he checked out our microwave (a Kenmore) from 2004 that crapped out a couple of weeks ago. They don’t make the magnetron for that model anymore.
He said we should consider only three brands: Amana, Maytag, and Whirlpool. He said Kenmore is now LG and sucks.
This technician is a Mexican immigrant, highly skilled, certainly not a xenophobe. He mildly ranted about the EPA, Chinese crap parts, the abandonment of pride in craftsmanship.
Yeah, I gave him a good cash tip as he left.
My LG stuff is working pretty good so far — washer, drier, and stove.
The Kenmore Fridge and Dishwasher are now 17 years old. It’s just a matter of time before they crap out.
Danger! My LG dishwasher snuffed right out of warranty. All my other LG appliances are lasting well, over 13 years old.
Get the Panasonic inverter microwave at Costco. I think it’s $200 and it works great. You can actually scale the field for lower power cooking instead of the off/on method regular microwaves use.
The Inverter tech for the Panasonic microwaves is da bomb. Its ability to drop the microwave tube down to a lower continuous power changes almost everything about microwave cooking and reheating for the better.
We’d probably still be on our first Inverter (bought back in the mid-90s) if it hadn’t been for the fact that we kept moving and all our sales agreements specified that we leave behind all the appliances.
We use Bob’s Repair…not sure they go our that way but probably best appliance techs ever.
I wonder if that propane is concentrated enough to be a fire hazard if it springs a leak from all that corrosion.
Yeah, the tech said that they are required to use all “brushless” tools when repairing them due to the fire hazard. They have to run a long-ass vent hose out of the house while working on it.
But, Mother Gaia and all!!
Well that’s going to lead to some exciting times for people doing DIY repairs.
Interestingly, these are all under Whirlpool now.
My cheap Whirlpool has been running fine for 10 years with no sign of aging.
He said we should consider only three brands: Amana, Maytag, and Whirlpool.
I reached the same conclusion. The appliances were all very old and at the end of life when we moved in here so I replaced everything. The new Samsung fridge died out of warranty at 3 years. The GE dishwasher and washing machine each made it about 4 years, if that. I replaced it all with Whirlpool or Maytag (I think it’s the same company). Their appliances automatically come with a 10 year warranty on parts.
After the fridge from Lowes died at 3 years with no recourse, I shifted to only buying major appliances at Costco. Automatic 4 year warranty and can extend that to 7 years for an extra hundred dollars.
Speed Queen.
Husband bought Whirlpool for our new-to-us place. I have no complaints, but Speed Queen was 3x the price. If we could have afforded that, we would have done that.
I always enjoyed working on appliances. The only issue with that is finding a supplier that will sell to consumers. Even with an EPA license, they still balk at selling me refrigerants.
