Several times now, I experienced discussions that reached a point where someone replied with "But ChatGPT says..." and screenshot. Usually it went downhill from there.
Is this the new Godwin's Law?

I wonder if one of the issues people have with unhoused folks w/smartphones; feeling a cognitive dissonance that someone with a pocket supercomputer but flailing for basic needs (food, etc)
And…yes those two things together are F’ed up.
Guess which one should be fixed?
(Spoiler: It’s Not the📱)

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆

Just email someone. I always like it when people email me about some weird blog post or project I’ve done.

I woke up angry today.
ICE spokesperson Lindsay Williams is a liar, who is bad at lying.
“Asked if the ICE officers chased Lopez, Williams said: ‘Chased? I wouldn’t say that. They followed him until he crashed.’”
Wouldn’t say that? How about: ICE was committing crime (their standard procedure), someone died, they’re the killers. Your people killed a school teacher, Williams.
Have the day you deserve, you apologist scum.

TIL when someone asks for their pain meds and you bring them their Ibuprofen, and they react happily, it's bad taste to say "Iiiibuuu" like Jar Jar Binks.
