[00:00]	MinceR	i doubt the orcs would go to the expense of poisoning prisoners with polonium
[00:00]	MinceR	when beatings, malnutrition and/or disease can do the trick.
[00:00]	MinceR	or much cheaper poisons
[00:00]	IsambardPrince	By far the most unrealistic thing in Stargate SG-1's run on TV was a group of MiGs taking on Death Gliders.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	They looked like MiG-29s to me.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	They're really fast, not so maneuverable.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	The gliders would have made short work of them.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	Judging by the way the Death Gliders worked on screen, the best real life fighter jets to go up against them would be the American F-22.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	But we never did the full production run of those.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	Budget cuts, you know.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	90% of the cost is designing it so why not cut the production by half?
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	The reason I think the F-22 would be best is because once you're up as close as those MiGs got on screen to the Death Glider, the Gliders would have had the advantage. You need to be able to target them and fire air to air missiles at them from beyond the range of their weapons.
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	And the F-22 can easily do this.
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	I don't think the Death Glider was really shown as a well designed superiority fighter. They had all that technology in them like an "inertial dampener", they could operate in space, but the weapon system was literally just a big version of the Jaffa staff weapon.

[00:12]	TR Bot	 Ukraine ends supply of Russian gas to Europe | CNN Business
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	"Last year, Kremlin-owned gas giant Gazprom, which signed the transit deal with Ukraines Naftogaz in 2019, recorded a $6.9 billion loss, its first in more than 20 years, due to diminished sales to Europe, Reuters reported. Thats despite its efforts to boost exports to new buyer China.
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	Ukraine now faces the loss of some $800 million a year in transit fees from Russia, while Gazprom will lose close to $5 billion in gas sales, according to the news agency. Several European countries still purchasing Russian gas had previously arranged alternative supply routes, it reported."
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	A gas giant?

[00:46]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Mom's cat is 20 this year. It's completely deaf now though.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	She says it smells where another animal has been living in that apartment and likes to poop on the floor upstairs, so she blocked off the upstairs, now the cat is depressed that it can't be with my brother up there.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	He felt sorry for it and opened the door and it crapped all over his room again.

[05:47]	IsambardPrince	Mom called me to say he was an illegal immigrant, and the dude was a US citizen who served in the Army and Navy for over 20 years, including under Trump.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	The US military has a long history of attracting violent nutcases and teaching them to kill, and it's not just Muslims that end up like this. That's where McVeigh learned how to do it.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	I've been living through this sort of thing for decades where the media does things like this, deliberately, to pitch an angle. The next step will be tough new restrictions on immigrants, who didn't do it, but now millions of people like my mother, who have been lied to by Trump and Fox News, have been whipped up again. And more laws for domestic surveillance and to water down our freedom and due process rights.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	The same Fox News that lost $800 million dollars settling a single defamation case because they lied about voting machines becomes the source for fresh anti-immigrant material.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	This is the new Nazi Germany, and the New Orleans thing is your Reichstag Fire. Actually, they do one of these every 10 or 20 years now, just most of you are too young to notice and I'm sure school doesn't cover it.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	I was in Indianapolis in 2016, and some teenagers walked past the WTC memorial and one of them said "Isn't one of them still standing?" Every few years you have a new batch of adults who think this country has always been this fucked up and shitty.

[09:20]	IsambardPrince	This morning my mom fell for one of the latest Fox News/Trump psyops campaigns, where the American citizen that served in the Army during Trump's first Presidency committed the attack on New Orleans and then somehow "became" an "illegal immigrant". And she's over there saying "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT" in that tone, you know the one.

[09:22]	IsambardPrince	And the attack happens....the very week they removed the anti-vehicle barriers on that street, which have been there for over 20 years.
[09:22]	IsambardPrince	Right? Of course it does. :P
[09:24]	IsambardPrince	"Where is he? What does he have to say?" The media: "Oh, the police shot him. He won't be saying anything."
[09:25]	IsambardPrince	It makes about as much sense as Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald before he could start talking in court. Which is to say, it makes perfect sense.
[09:26]	IsambardPrince	False flag operation. Stir up the MAGATs against immigrants. Make sure it happens by removing 20 year old vehicle barriers that morning....produce a corpse.

[09:32]	IsambardPrince	The Weimar Constitution already had an Article in it that provided for Presidential edicts, but they were generally only allowed when the Reichstag and Reichsrat couldn't pass laws.
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	Eventually they passed a law (which was unconstitutional, but happened anyway because anyone that got in the way of Hitler was shot by this point), that abolished the Reichsrat.
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	In theory, whether the Reichsrat could be disbanded could be challenged at the Constitutional Court, but strangely nobody was willing to do that.

[09:37]	IsambardPrince	But I'm not rich and I don't have that luxury. So the only luxury I have is to pray I'm wrong, or at least that someone will stop Trump.
[09:39]	IsambardPrince	In other countries, Presidents who became dictators had the military storm the courts and legislative buildings and arrest the legislators and judges.
[09:39]	IsambardPrince	Then once nobody could stop them, they start issuing edicts.
[09:39]	IsambardPrince	Trump's plans to sack the generals suggests the next step is martial law, and the arrest of judges and legislators.

[18:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	"evaluation"
[18:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	what value will you get?
[18:45]	nobody	it's not the first time they're doing this
[18:46]	nobody	schestowitz[TR2]: i already got that written on many occasions
[18:46]	nobody	"distanced to [micros~1 (R)] labor market"
[18:47]	TR News	LF: we have 200 million dollars in the bank, so we'll give just 622,162 dollars to the whole of South Asia. Makes sense...?
[18:47]	nobody	schestowitz[TR2]: "no further qualification/certification without psychological evaluation"
[18:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	"why can't you just adore bill gates' asshole like all the normal people??"
[18:49]	nobody	although one moderate statement was noted to "please apply for job placement that suits your medical/psychological condition"

[18:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	ok
[18:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	so they put some label on you

[23:28]	IsambardPrince	Trump says he's going to bust out all the roadblocks to drilling for gas and oil.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	Thank god.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	You know, under Biden we had $5 gasoline for almost a year. it had never gotten over that before, or even anywhere near that, unless you lived in shitass California, in which case you deserved to suffer.
[23:29]	psydruid	it looks like Germany is squarely in Microsoft's pocket
[23:30]	psydruid	I wonder why, though
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	The only reason it dipped back down to $3 is because Biden murdered the economy. Choked it to death.
[23:30]	psydruid	there must be plenty of talented developers who can make better alternatives to Microsoft malware
[23:33]	nobody	it's not specific to micros~1, although their trainings were listed top ranked
[23:34]	nobody	and they intend to route 10000EUros cash per training, which in comparison may or may not be any better than any book on amazon
[23:35]	nobody	for a tiny fraction of the price tag
[23:35]	nobody	however, this doesn't "qualify", and instead you're forced into "psychological evaluation"
[23:36]	nobody	this is an official written letter from german government bureaucracy
[23:38]	nobody	i too archived the mail i had written them two weeks before, asking for advice since a training course for asm programming that could be relevant did not sufficiently match any course of theirs
[23:38]	nobody	hence i rather bought the books i need myself

[23:52]	IsambardPrince	That son-in-law of his had a swastika and "HH" tattooed on his face and arms. From prison.
[23:53]	IsambardPrince	They sent him back after they caught him cooking biker meth, because $30 an hour to work on the roads wasn't enough money I guess.
[23:54]	IsambardPrince	I may be the first person in my dad's side of the family who isn't at least a "white supremacist" on some level.
[23:55]	MinceR	and now you're talking about how great having a nazi fhrer's going to be for the economy
[23:55]	IsambardPrince	And most of the ones on my mom's side are from the south, you know far back enough to go into the slavery era.
[23:55]	MinceR	maybe there's a connection
[23:55]	IsambardPrince	I did not say that Trump will be great.
[23:55]	IsambardPrince	I said Biden managed to crush it out entirely.

[23:56]	MinceR	if.
[23:56]	IsambardPrince	Yes, it's speculative, but Trump won the popular vote because most people have very little left to lose under Biden.
[23:56]	IsambardPrince	No jobs, 40% cumulative inflation on groceries and rent.
[23:56]	IsambardPrince	Gas prices doubled and stayed there for 18 months.
[23:57]	IsambardPrince	$100 billion "package" for Ukraine and $60 billion for Israel every 100 days or so.
[23:57]	nobody	gas and energy prices in USA are relatively moderate in comparison to Germany
[23:57]	IsambardPrince	Invasion of Venezuelan prisoners, insane asylum inmates, and moochers.
[23:57]	nobody	reminder, my last year's annual electricity, ~60cents kWh aggregate
[23:58]	IsambardPrince	It was the Democrats who radicalized people.
[23:58]	IsambardPrince	People with nothing get radicalized.
[23:58]	nobody	gas for the little heating i did, was even more expensive
[23:58]	IsambardPrince	The Democrats created more people with nothing to lose than ever before.
[23:58]	IsambardPrince	Then they waved around Tranny lunatics and black criminal gangs (BLM) in front of us.
[23:58]	IsambardPrince	And then they lost.
[23:59]	nobody	Trump recently insisted, 20% of the energy/cash-flow must be USA lng, otherwise tarrifs and sanctions would hit german carmakers
[23:59]	nobody	in parallel Volkswagen labor union staff protested against proposed closures and wage-cuts
[23:59]	IsambardPrince	nobody, I've had to shut off the heat and nail blankets to the windows and put a tent and pile of blankets on my bed.
[23:59]	IsambardPrince	For years now.
[23:59]	IsambardPrince	Now they say expect electric to go up another 50% because of Biden and Pritzker next year.
