12:45 Heading towards replacing the clock spring for my Hyundai. Already ordered the part on eBay, new OEM genuine sealed in the box with 65 dollars. In the meantime i want to show my frustration here.
The other car i had was 10 years old when the clock spring went bad. 20 August 2022 or in the morning of the accident (Angela came home saying there's a lamp on the dashboard).
It is true, this car was in California near the ocean for two years where there is more corrosion from salt. Every time i go at the beach the brakes make a temporary squeaking noise. Excluding a real possibility of sabotage (my favorite, thinking of being smoked all the way to the beach Saturday).
(We got a new neighbor, but it's not only him. Every time we eat somebody starts a car with modified exhaust, and this morning one went up to one hour, we decided to leave when it stopped. A couple of them started right now. One has stopped).
First time i asked google it picked this answer which seems the most realistic. There are a few online Hyundai dealers that sell the part for 200-300, and those sell at half price the local dealers do. If you order the part on ebay from Korea and are willing to wait a month, it will cost you 40, the real price. I ordered an new OEM one from ebay from an US vendor for 65 including shipping that gets here by the end of this week.
There is a video on youtube on how to replace it. The man did it with one hand while talking and filming with the other and the whole video is 13 minutes long. I am much slower as i take my time to think and look carefully around, so it will take me one hour or so (the man didn't even disconnect the battery, there's a small chance the bag will blow in your face). One hour is the time at the dealership as well.
3:10 Last night after i took gas at Spirit Mt. Shell my airbag warning light came on. Exactly like at the other Elantra in August 20 in the day before the accident last year. So far i checked the fuse. I have an ELM327 OBDII blue tooth connector but it doesn't work. After i tried to pair it it asks the password, i put in 1234 (i tried with 0000 and kept prompting), it connects briefly and then disconnects. It worked in the past with Angela's PC, today i tried with that one, my laptop but i don't want to turn on the phone for it.
That car has been totaled once, right door have been hit. This one has been totaled twice and in the pictures at the first auction the panel at the right door was missing. But if that light is on it means none of the airbags will work in case of accident.
Later i figured it out. I was an April 1st joke that so far cost me 100 bucks (had a gift card remainder).
3:28 BTW we never win (positive balance for the night) unless i complain here first. It only happened 2 or 3 times this year, and always after i complained. I wanted to write yesterday but it seemed so mundane after the recent posts and gave it up. But what i saw yesterday at Chinook surpasses all imagination.
But first. Somehow i stepped into a piece of dog s... before i left. They placed it somewhere on my way to the patio when i always go to check the sign at the door. As a result, scores of stinking vehicles got in front of us on our way to Lincoln City. Tried to pass or stay behind but they were everywhere. In the last few trips (weeks) we only drove behind those, but yesterday they needed a pretext.
So at one of those stops we switched roles (Angela drove first because i was feeling sick, probably from all kinda smells and smokes here) and when i got outside i realized how bad our car was stinking inside and discovered the poo on my shoes.
I was telling Angela, they (ninja) never act unprovoked, or have to be always on the defence. So they carefully arrange something. Like for our car to stink enough to be felt from behind. And then all hell breaks loose.
I didn't get to see any of the drivers but i know who they are.
Besides of being very tired, when i got there i was also dizzy.
So what i was telling. The unimaginable. There was a team of actors from a theatre in Hungary filming filling the whole place. At two table games they were a few guys with loud voices (men and women) yelling so loud i only heard at traditional weddings in my home town Câmpulung. For hours. Really disturbing. Nobody cared from security cause they were from the same team.
6:40 Just figured what the reasons of the yelling upstairs and in the casino and kids in the alley and modified exhausts etc. are for. When synced with my brainwaves they cause among other things temporary blockages of the common duct (a chakra or sphincter) that put pressure on my liver and pancreas with lowering of insulin production.
Yeah i know i said that before and don't know where and instead of one more link i will say it again. April 1st stands for altruism. What's for one. Only fools are alone.
8:23 Instead of locker, they brought the scanner at the door. I went and read the codes, it's the driver side air bag. Unsupervised children are playing on the other side of the alley, for hours now.
Most frequent, the clockspring under the airbag on the steering wheel, something that can be replaced in 10 minutes. Given the coincidence, could they have done it in the parking lot at Chinook? Only the security tapes can confirm it.
9:52 Yes she's back. It must be a she because a man could not stand in this environment except for short periods of time. Because of shedog poopes. She took the car for a couple of hours out of the spot.
I was thinking earlier. People don't want to know the truth. I have put within the last year or so hundreds of valid matches (yes i made mistakes in the past) but they still see each case as an isolated one. They cycle the people through all kinda made up artificial conflicts made with characters and charactonimes and they forget everything and believe in what they are being told. If not, pandemics, wars and scandals can help. Sorry for you. And for me because i have not foreseen this.
It's all a delaying tactic. Children are busy growing up, then mary, go to jobs, have more children, get old, retire and die and are always too too busy to understand what's going on. So they can peacefully pump the gold out of it and in the end destroy the Earth. But who cares. It won't happen in our time.
11:37 Can't say it didn't help me. It helped me cause i did locate which airbag is off. But when i tried to read real time data (the resistance) to confirm is the speed clock, was showing zero all the time. So it was only reading the computer code. Maybe because the last Hyundai Elantra it had in there was a 2017. So i came inside and tried to update following the instructions in the booklet which is of course written Chinese English, like the menus and everything.
I was impressed a bit by the multitude of vehicles i could download for. Thinking. The Chinese never saw these vehicles, don't have an idea or do they. I choose Hunday only, everything worked fine and after i restarted the thing it crashed and became unusable, so now i'm up for a return. In the meantime i figured a way to physically check that spring clock, the airbag pops up when pried with a screwdriver and the thing is under. Thinking how easy would have been for a ninja to sabotage it.
I once read people being uneased by needing to throw away Amazon bags and boxes. How about the return pallets?
After half day spent on it (and only 5 hours of sleep last night) i went for a short walk around the block (today i washed the fridge under, air quality is almost acceptable now in here, for the first time ever), people all around the building welcomed me with flashing yellow lights (parking would have been enough, speed limit here is 5 and nobody drives at this hour (almost midnight)), gestures almost obscene, exhaust smoke etc.. I'm sure that if i went the second time there would have been nobody around but i couldn't cause i'm just too tired.
12:40 I believe alcohol, as some is being expelled throughbreathing for hours after ingestion (depending on the amount), offers you some temporary protection against toxic mold and bacteria from environment.
4:15 Every site i searched for showed potatoes are not antifungal. They why do i crave potatoes every time i am exposed to mold?
Earlier this week i had to vacuum the apartment and though i used one of the best bags available with electrostatic filtering media, i disturbed the whole ecosystem here. Mold from plants, on the walls and on the wet floor under couch. Bacteria from under the water heater (yes there is a tiny amount left and it manifests) and other places. The balance has been upset and myself i feel like i've been breathing too much of all kinda stuff. Though i got now two ionic filters that catches mold on blades.
BTW i once bought a (cheap) microscope that i returned because i had a defect but before that i had a chance to look on the stuff i swabbed from the blades and it was oval black mold spores.
But those filters are too slow, they need hours to clean whatever (don't have a fan) and days after vacuuming and as a side effect produce a small amount of ozone which i can stand and which contribute to controlling the mold. So i bought a negative ions + ozone generator with a fan. However that one pumps large amount of ozone which doesn't smell being mixed with negative ions (don't really understand how they don't combined with each other, maybe they don't have enough time being blown by the fan) and i learned the hard way (before i read the manual) that like in the case of UV ozone lamps, i'm not supposed to be in the room while it's working.
So last night i stopped those, mold was floating in the air, caused me mainly nasal congestion that turned into palpitation (by mechanically raising of the diaphragm muscle through forced aspiration (vacuum), muscle the heart sits on). In the morning i "treated" the walls again with chlorine gel. BTW how long the cold weather is going to last, and keep the walls cold? I remember last year i took off to Reno to get rid of the cold and the next day the weather changed unexpectedly in here too.
And yes i was craving potatoes.
Potatoes must have something antifungal in them because otherwise they wouldn't survive in the ground. Besides the antifungal treatments they apply to, especially to the cheap ones (one unique case in which they are beneficial to man). Don't know if the name potassium comes from potatoes but it's the biggest source with up to one gram per medium size potato, in organic combinations. And potassium is antifungal even in organic combinations. Could this have anything to do with the fact that potassium is good for heart palpitations? So i took three 100 mg potassium gluconate supplements which worked every time especially in early, sporadic stages.
5:30 News that might be related to what i just posted.
I wanted to say but i forgot at the time i posted this link. There will be a train derailment somewhere. Hard to believe it happened in Switzerland where they say you can adjust your watch by the train arrivals. And wind always had a hard time blowing in canions between mountains. Not near Cern but near Bern.
6:10 I don't think most people know to what level of energy the particles (sometimes, vaporized gold) are accelerated inside the 27 km circumference underground ring near Geneva.
They have some built in safety systems that can literally dump the beams outside the ring if anything goes wrong. An 8 meter long under one meter diameter cylinder made of steel surrounded by concrete filled with graphite. One load of particles being dumped in that cylinder heats the graphite at 1000 degrees C. And yes it makes a thunderous sound. Thinking of the momentum transferred to the foundation of that construction.
I was thinking this morning, why don't we use particle accelerators to accelerate space ships. By pointing a much weaker beam from a "small" accelerator on a high mountain (to take advantage of low density air) on a shield behind the space ship it theoretically can be accelerated to maybe relativst speeds. Don't know about decelerating or coming back to Earth though. I think this idea is much more realistic and feasible than solar sails.
Could this be done for sending ships to orbit? You'd have to first raise and accelerate the ship with classical chemical engines to a speed that stabilizes the aerodynamics and can take small eccentricities (the beam could not be possibly pointed perfectly in the center of that shield), chemical engines would also be needed for final orbit parking, but having the bulk of energy transferred to the ship from the ground, i think it can be done and we could finally solve the problem of very costly launches and evolve from the pioneering von Braun design.
6:41 Yes he's up for about half hour now and balances from one foot to another above me in the bedroom (he just took off), making noise, releasing paint dust from the ceiling, insulation dust from cracks, etc.. effectively sabotaging my work.
7:32 The dust is finally clearing up here, after one hour. Out of frustration, i went in the kitchen and over ate. Two slices of pizza, two servings of mashed potatoes and only one chicken leg calmed me down. Where my diabetes is coming from. And yes, i learned how to make coleslaw after i figured i can grate cabbage (with a little skill) on a regular grater and mix it with ranch dressing. I wish cabbage lowered my blood sugar as well as cucumber cause i like it so much better but i'm not sure.
