| IsambardPrince | There we go. What a hassle. Straining cooking oil. | Apr 03 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| IsambardPrince | But at $12.99 a gallon, stuff's not cheap anymore. | Apr 03 00:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Coffee filters cost about a penny each, so even if you go through a couple while you reclaim nearly half a gallon of oil, that's a good deal. | Apr 03 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | But it's a slow process. | Apr 03 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | First you have to mesh strain it then scoop out all the sludge from making the fried chicken into the garbage then strain it again into a clean bowl through the coffee filter-lined mesh, about a cup and a half at a time. | Apr 03 00:37 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Wish there were more cafeteria restaurants around, but those went away when the Greatest and Silent generation did. | Apr 03 01:34 |
| IsambardPrince | These companies target Millennials now, GenZ, everything has to be an "experience". | Apr 03 01:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The generation MCL targeted just isn't there anymore. | Apr 03 01:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They're either in the nursing home or gone. | Apr 03 01:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Would you like some liver and onions, an iced tea, mashed potatoes, and a dinner roll? I would love that. How about a small slice of strawberry rhubarb pie? That's my favorite! | Apr 03 01:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Then you get down there and the whole think is like $6 or something crazy. | Apr 03 01:36 |

| IsambardPrince | "Free oil filter with any oil change" from the Chevy dealer. | Apr 03 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Let's see $100 for the oil change, deduct $4 for the filter. | Apr 03 02:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Leaves you with too fucking much for an oil change. | Apr 03 02:09 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I made my doctor and her assistant laugh pretty hard one day. | Apr 03 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Several times, but... | Apr 03 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | They asked me if I used drugs. I said, "No, in fact I have to use four air purifiers because of my neighbor's drugs." | Apr 03 02:17 |
| MinceR | :> | Apr 03 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I had a useful idea from the movie Down Periscope. | Apr 03 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | I filtered some cooking oil with a coffee maker I don't use much. | Apr 03 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | It's got a mesh filter anyway. | Apr 03 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | "Which one do you think we're gonna use more often, sailor!? The coffee, or the lard!? Do you think we'll all get up one morning and enjoy a nice hot steaming cup of PIG FAT!?" | Apr 03 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, it depends sir. On a cold morning, it could go either way. | Apr 03 02:18 |
| MinceR | "That's what she said! Or he, I could go either way, really. And that is also what she said!" | Apr 03 02:21 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, It's time for thump thump n**** n**** n**** again from across the hall. | Apr 03 02:31 |
| IsambardPrince | He was screaming at her earlier, again. | Apr 03 02:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Then sometime around midnight the smell of cheap tobacco and drugs will creep across the hallway. | Apr 03 02:32 |

| IsambardPrince | They were talking about having the incorrect gender marker on the passport and the passport expires in less than a year. | Apr 03 05:32 |
| IsambardPrince | You can renew a passport whenever you want, so this could have been avoided by renewing it last year and getting another 10 years. | Apr 03 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they say "What if I have to come back due to an emergency!" | Apr 03 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | So you fled the country but you want to come back sometimes? | Apr 03 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Because you're scared of the country. | Apr 03 05:33 |

| IsambardPrince | And then to make it even better, the country they went to is one of those European ones where the Islamists just run people over with cars when the police should have arrested them like 5 years ago and knew it would happen. | Apr 03 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Like Germany, you know. | Apr 03 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | They know a terrorist will attack but it's not politically correct to arrest a terrorist. | Apr 03 05:34 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, The defeat in Wisconsin is landing hard. | Apr 03 05:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Today Republicans in the Senate were unable to stop two bills from the Democrats from passing. | Apr 03 05:41 |
| IsambardPrince | One would cancel the tariffs on Canada. | Apr 03 05:42 |
| IsambardPrince | The other expresses the sense of the Senate that USPS should not be privatized. | Apr 03 05:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Musk made a horrible mistake in getting that involved in Wisconsin. | Apr 03 05:42 |
| IsambardPrince | He wanted to dump a ton of money into that race to make a point that he could just buy people into office and therefore make others afraid that the knife cuts both ways. | Apr 03 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead, he dumped a LOT of money in and John "Schlemiel" still lost by 10 points, which is a lot. It's a landslide as these things go. | Apr 03 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Wisconsin supreme court elections usually are like 3-4%. Musk coming in and dumping $50 million actually more than doubled the margin of loss, and now people don't think he's an asset. | Apr 03 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Dumping $50 million into everything including voter bribery in Wisconsin while not paying his child support. | Apr 03 05:45 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I saw an article about Microsoft in Wisconsin the other day. | Apr 03 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Huge data center. They plan to open it early, but the article mentioned that they've been canceling many others. | Apr 03 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The demand just isn't there to justify more. | Apr 03 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Plus the Wisconsin project is pretty far along and they can run it more cheaply. I have a feeling, this is just a guess, that they want it close to Lake Michigan so they can use the water. | Apr 03 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | There's also a lot of cheap solar and wind energy there. | Apr 03 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | And the overall business climate is friendly, and it's within spitting distance of Chicago. | Apr 03 06:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think Illinois needs to get super deregulatory and have people showing up with chainsaws. | Apr 03 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | But some of the taxes produce minimal revenue and a lot of compliance costs. | Apr 03 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I think they could look at that. | Apr 03 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | "It's not unthinkable that amid the rise of GNU/Linux [1, 2]. | Apr 03 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft can hardly charge anything for Windows anymore and as a server (or VM or container) provider Microsoft has failed to (hence mass layoffs in Azure every year since 2020), so all it has now is hype like "AI" and "Quantum". How patient will shareholders be? There will be no financial returns, only financial fraud." | Apr 03 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Should that be joined? | Apr 03 06:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yes | Apr 03 06:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | fixed | Apr 03 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Windows is hardly loved. | Apr 03 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | refresh now | Apr 03 06:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Consistently the most popular tools are things that turn off all the spyware and find ways to pock around the Digital Markets Act bit to make the undesirable shovelware, like Microsoft Edge, go away, even in regions other than the EU those enablement bits are in Windows. | Apr 03 06:51 |
| IsambardPrince | https://bogdan-patraucean.github.io/about/wintoys/ | Apr 03 06:51 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-bogdan-patraucean.github.io | Wintoys | about | Apr 03 06:51 | |
| IsambardPrince | I ran across this yesterday and was laughing because most consumer operating systems (like Chrome OS and Mac OS) and Linux distributions tend to be very intuitive these days. | Apr 03 06:51 |
| techrights-news | iophk: notably that programme got torpedoed in prep for the tariffs, now the US has no manufacturing to fall back on https://www.wired.com/story/nist-trump-manufacturing-extension-partnership/ | Apr 03 06:52 |

| IsambardPrince | Either they use their own products and want them to work, or they see the customer as important and not just a dumping ground for shovelware, ads and trash, or there's Free Software where the angle is nobody would ever want the shovelware and trash so nobody bundles it. | Apr 03 06:52 |
| IsambardPrince | With Free Software, if anyone ever got the idea to do that, someone else would just fork it. | Apr 03 06:53 |
| IsambardPrince | There's suddenly a version that does not. Like the difference between Firefox and Librewolf. | Apr 03 06:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i see | Apr 03 06:53 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Missing content type. Ignoring. | Apr 03 06:54 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | iirc, rianne adopted it that year | Apr 03 06:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2021 | Apr 03 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Chrome OS and Mac OS are proprietary, but they want users to choose them. | Apr 03 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft is helping the exodus along by making Windows slow and full of more garbage. | Apr 03 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | So we should really be thanking them. | Apr 03 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not very often that the competitor signs their own death warrant. | Apr 03 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | But that's what this whole thing is right? With the ads, with the bloatware and the garbage web browser nobody asked for and would immediately uninstall if there was a clear way to. | Apr 03 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The people using Edge, thus MSN (which is a captive portal for Edge users, mostly), tend to skew older. | Apr 03 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They have no idea how a computer works. | Apr 03 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They're on a budget so most of them can't afford a Mac. | Apr 03 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The budget came from a life of hardship, imposed by lack of savings and lack of education. | Apr 03 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | So you get on these MSN News re-posts of the major news sites... | Apr 03 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | And all the comments are from these really uneducated people, most of them are MAGA. | Apr 03 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | These are the only people that seem to use Edge and MSN and it's because it's right the hell there and it hasn't occured to them to customize anything, or that they're being fed a drip drip drip of bot spew. | Apr 03 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | MSN doesn't add any value. It's basically like a cake mixer where the ingredients are two parts actual posts from various news sites that were at least written by people, 1 part ad carousel, and 1 part bot spew. | Apr 03 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | You just blend it together and slop the trough. | Apr 03 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | And so a lot of what Microsoft does these days is slopping the trough, really. | Apr 03 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not very good, but you're feeding it to animals to fatten them up. | Apr 03 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | And there's a lot of it and it's cheap. | Apr 03 07:00 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | opel is vauxhall here | Apr 03 15:04 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "smart" crap they add | Apr 03 15:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (like they all do) | Apr 03 15:05 |
| MinceR | opel is a stellantis brand though | Apr 03 15:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | probably need "app" for them all | Apr 03 15:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i.e. some american spyphone | Apr 03 15:06 |
| MinceR | so instead of dressing up the tiniest, most laughable GM designs to be eye-wateringly ugly, they dress up shitty stellantis designs to be eye-wateringly ugly instead | Apr 03 15:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | MinceR: i don't know stellantis fits in | Apr 03 15:06 |
| MinceR | even though you can even buy the same stellantis designs with much less ugly designs from their french brands, right here | Apr 03 15:06 |
| MinceR | i don't know why these merkin brands think that europeans want their cars specifically to be ugly | Apr 03 15:07 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | they don't tell the price | Apr 03 15:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they sell loans | Apr 03 15:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in car form | Apr 03 15:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | installment plans | Apr 03 15:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | wow, that's a brand i have not heard of in a LONG time... daewoo | Apr 03 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like "aiwa | Apr 03 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | remember "aiwa"? | Apr 03 15:08 |
| MinceR | yes | Apr 03 15:08 |
| MinceR | aiwa is still around, i think, but probably has nothing to do with what it used to be | Apr 03 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they dion't say how much the cars cost | Apr 03 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they hide it | Apr 03 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to sell loans | Apr 03 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | how ridiculous! | Apr 03 15:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | is it normal for car sellers to hide all the prices? | Apr 03 15:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i cannot unfold any | Apr 03 15:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or see specs | Apr 03 15:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | what a useless site | Apr 03 15:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | just JS animationds | Apr 03 15:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *animation | Apr 03 15:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and no actual relevant info | Apr 03 15:10 |
| MinceR | might depend on the seller | Apr 03 15:10 |
| MinceR | also, you might want to check the prices at the dealer's site | Apr 03 15:11 |
| MinceR | and even then, at least here the custom is to have some sort of haggling happen at most of them | Apr 03 15:11 |
| MinceR | suzuki instead just has a "discounted price" that always applies | Apr 03 15:11 |
| MinceR | and they list that next to the "list price" | Apr 03 15:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i found a version with prices now | Apr 03 15:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's absurd for a piece of tin with chassis | Apr 03 15:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 20 years ago they cost less than half and lasted 20 years | Apr 03 15:13 |
| MinceR | well, in europe it also has lots of alleged safety gear | Apr 03 15:13 |
| MinceR | and lots of computers | Apr 03 15:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | now the panels are like some "ap" | Apr 03 15:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "app" | Apr 03 15:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no way they will issue patches till 2045 | Apr 03 15:13 |
| MinceR | oh, and lots of extra complexity aimed at reducing emissions | Apr 03 15:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (if humans are not extinct by then) | Apr 03 15:13 |
| MinceR | with questionable efficacy | Apr 03 15:13 |
| MinceR | (especially if you factor in all the part replacements it makes necessary) | Apr 03 15:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | lots of plasticware in the car | Apr 03 15:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not metal | Apr 03 15:14 |
| MinceR | it is well known that models aimed at places like india from the same brands are much cheaper | Apr 03 15:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the sun will ruin the colour and form within years | Apr 03 15:14 |
| MinceR | though they're probably also less safe in a crash | Apr 03 15:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they dissolve | Apr 03 15:14 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | and you listen to music, so you cannot hear the surrounds, like other cars honking | Apr 03 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | must be veryu safe | Apr 03 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe add QWERTY keyboard to the wheel | Apr 03 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you can sms while you drive | Apr 03 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or snapchat on the go | Apr 03 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | till you go on a sidewalk | Apr 03 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the handbrake looks like plastic | Apr 03 15:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe it's "Smart" and "power" | Apr 03 15:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not nechanical | Apr 03 15:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you need to power on the car to put on the handbrake | Apr 03 15:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (not dangerous at all!) | Apr 03 15:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "smart springs"? | Apr 03 15:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "sorry, battery low" | Apr 03 15:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no power = no clock | Apr 03 15:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's rendering of analogue clock | Apr 03 15:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | instead of a normal clock that works also when it's turned on | Apr 03 15:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (or off) | Apr 03 15:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no power = cannot roll up/down windows... no "rolling" per se | Apr 03 15:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i hope the handles are mechanical | Apr 03 15:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so it's not a case of, no power = cannot enter/exit the car | Apr 03 15:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | glove compartment mechanical | Apr 03 15:22 |

| IsambardPrince | If the IRS still is around in 2027, the tax code will eventually have to adjust everything for all the inflation he's caused, so income taxes for some people will eventually fall. But we still have to deal with this mess on our own for at least two years or so. | Apr 03 22:47 |
