I grew up on the junkyard.
I’m not wondering why it’s cheap, I’m wondering why it isn’t more common…

For a fractal dick to work, it has to be recursive alternating rows and columns, obviously.

I found the MAF sensor on eBay for $22.99 just yesterday, it’s on the way now. Honestly if it was my vehicle, I’d just leave the old one disconnected and call it a day, it already runs a thousand times better than the old one did when connected.
The old transmission for the 91 Corsica? Yeah that definitely wasn’t on a warehouse shelf.
That came out of a U-Pull-It junkyard, all fluids already drained and the best two hints I had to go on was the mileage on the odometer (around 89k miles) and the residual transmission fluid still on the stick wasn’t brown, it was still pink.
- Comment on US agents arrest 475 in raid on Hyundai-LG plant 5 days ago:
I had a 91 Chevy Corsica, it only cost me $87 for a replacement used transmission and torque converter, fully functional and with reasonably low mileage for the age.
So why the fuck does a mass airflow sensor (yes just a fucking sensor) cost $96 for a 2005 Hyundai Tucson?
Fuck, if I want a budget vehicle, I’ll find a cheap used junker somewhere suffering some mystery issue where all it takes is disconnecting a basically unnecessary sensor somewhere.
Guess what sensor I disconnected on my roommate’s Hyundai…

Budget car? Where you get that from?
It costs like $7 for a thermostat for most other brands, but it costs $17 for a thermostat for a 2005 Hyundai or Kia, not counting the $11 rubber gasket.
And don’t get me started on the cost of their starters, almost $300, goddamn ridiculous prices, especially for a used vehicle.

Florida is already the USA’s dick, but it has its own smaller dick?
It’s probably a fractal dick, like dicks all the way down…

If they wanna try to verify my age, they can just check the age of my Google account. I made my Google account back in 2004, my account alone is old enough to drink alcohol.
I respect the intent of ‘protect the kids’ and all, but they shouldn’t need anymore information from me, the age of my account alone proves I’m old enough. Also, I don’t have any kids.

- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 2 weeks ago:
The existing terms I tend to hear are ‘brain fog’, CRS (can’t remember shit), and for those with a few more braincells still intact, ‘CRAFT’, or Can’t Remember A Fucking Thing.
Yes, I gather that basically any doctor worth their weight in salt should interpret those sort of terms as the patient has brain/memory issues, but isn’t there some easier and less self-insulting term than CRAFT?

Pronunciation of Dementia
The word “dementia” is pronounced as follows: Phonetic Spelling
dih-MEN-shuhSo where the hell did the T in dementia come from in the first place, when in place of the T it’s pronounced with the SH sound? Yet another unnecessarily confusing word. Sigh, English is fun like that huh?
- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 2 weeks ago:
I never said to change the existing words, I’m just suggesting to do like almost every other word or phrase and have a shorthand, easier to remember/communicate acronym or something.
Imagine actually being a person suffering with brain/memory issues. You know you have a condition, but you can’t remember what the hell the doctor called it to save your life.
That’s fucking embarrassing to them, I’ve seen that firsthand more than once. ☹️

How is “dementia” more difficult than other words?
Dementia is never even pronounced right.
It’s spelled that way, but it’s pronounced “demenshia”
- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 2 weeks ago:
You’re missing the whole point.
The disabled patient should be able to memorize the name of their own condition, if at all possible at least. Disabled people don’t 100% of the time have people available to help.

Neither are legal tender actually.

No shit, I already stated that most medical terms have Latin roots.
What sane person you know that speaks Latin?
What mentally handicapped people speak Latin?..

Yes, it’s easy for most people to say and spell dementia. Except for some of the people actually suffering from brain/memory disorders…
