IsambardPrinceI've had lawyers give me bad advice before or just flat out not know what I was trying to do.Sep 03 07:06
schestowitz[TR2]or people who knit at homeSep 03 07:06
IsambardPrinceSeveral times, I turned out to be right.Sep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]they can create valueSep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]like sweater they cna use againSep 03 07:07
IsambardPrinceBecause I researched that problem and it meant something to me.Sep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]people who "mine bitcoin" at home?Sep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]they just get high power billsSep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]maybe borrow money on a credit cardSep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]to "mine bitcoin"Sep 03 07:07

schestowitz[TR2]use a heaterSep 03 07:07
IsambardPrinceHe was using the heat to heat up his apartment.Sep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]it propduices heatSep 03 07:07
schestowitz[TR2]and wastes less power on non-heatSep 03 07:08
IsambardPrinceYeah, the rent is outrageous here, but the flip side is there's no $200-300 winter heating bills.Sep 03 07:09
IsambardPrinceAnd I don't have to pour money into a car that's got me so pinned down I can never save for anything else.Sep 03 07:09
schestowitz[TR2]you can insulate betterSep 03 07:09
schestowitz[TR2]clothing, double/triple glazingSep 03 07:10
schestowitz[TR2]you don't need to heat up every roomSep 03 07:10
IsambardPrinceI found A Bridge Too Far at Goodwill on DVD.\Sep 03 07:10
IsambardPrinceIf something has Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, and Gene Hackman in it, it's probably good.Sep 03 07:10
IsambardPrinceContemporary newspaper critics panned it and it did not do well at the movie theater because it released right after the Vietnam War and nobody was in the mood for a war movie, especially not one about a botched Allied operation (Market Garden)Sep 03 07:12

schestowitz[TR2]IsambardPrince: ^Sep 03 07:16
schestowitz[TR2]same in ILL?Sep 03 07:16
IsambardPrinceYes, it's not uncommon to see more upscale supermarket coffee brands selling 12 ounce bags for $16.98 and saying "It's on sale!"Sep 03 07:17
IsambardPrinceIf you go with Folgers or something, you can get a can that's like $26 ounces for $19.99.Sep 03 07:18
IsambardPrinceIt's truly outrageous.Sep 03 07:18
IsambardPrinceIn 1998, I was buying cans of Yuban coffee that were over 40 ounces for $3.99.Sep 03 07:18
IsambardPrinceAnd that wasn't even at Walmart, which had massive economies of scale and a focus on being cheap back then.Sep 03 07:18
IsambardPrinceIt was at Lance's New Market, a small rural grocery chain in northern Indiana.Sep 03 07:19
IsambardPrinceYuban tasted better than the shit you buy now. Something happened.Sep 03 07:19
IsambardPrinceThe supermarket coffee does not taste like it used to.Sep 03 07:19
IsambardPrinceI think they're sourcing cheaper grounds somewhere and pocketing even more money than from just the small bags/cans and higher prices.Sep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]yesSep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]i was gonna write thatSep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]you can call it impuritiesSep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]stuff that was discarcded beforeSep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]it's very common in chocsSep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]you can find articles about itSep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]to get the "real" chocSep 03 07:20
schestowitz[TR2]as in pure, not dilutesSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]you have to pay a lotSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]for big, trusted brandsSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]most people avoid themSep 03 07:21
IsambardPrinceYou didn't even care if you made a whole pot and poured half down the drain. It was THAT cheap to buy coffee in 1998.Sep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]because they see the priceSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]but this is whjat they used to get decades agoSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]now it is priced out fo reachSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]the same happened to pastiresSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]they stuff them with thingsSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]like they inject more and more water into chickenSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]that they grow over shorter periods of timeSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]so they don't delelop properlySep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]they just add weightSep 03 07:21
schestowitz[TR2]and they don't taste the sameSep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]if food taste worse now, you are now "Sep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]old fashioned"a dn "biytterSep 03 07:22
IsambardPrinceRight, it used to say on the chicken "may contain up to 5% of a solution".Sep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]"it DID taste betterSep 03 07:22
IsambardPrinceNow some of the packages say "15%"Sep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]unless you buy very expensive brands Sep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]that they "stuff" some "filler" into the foodSep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]to loiwerSep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]costsSep 03 07:22
schestowitz[TR2]standarss loweredSep 03 07:22
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: Yes, the "organic" chicken at the store tastes different.Sep 03 07:23
IsambardPrinceAnd does not cook down as much.Sep 03 07:23
IsambardPrinceMom says I'm being "ripped off".Sep 03 07:23
IsambardPrinceI told her "Snag it on a yellow tag sale and try it."Sep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]mushrooms i am not sure aboutSep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]lerge mushrooms always shrink\Sep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]they are full of waterSep 03 07:23
IsambardPrinceI get mushrooms very cheaply.Sep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]but I don't think they engineered themSep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]to be like thatSep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]it's jus6t that agra sells them bterSep 03 07:23
IsambardPrinceI get those when they're 99 cents per 8 ounce container.Sep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]they look big at the shopSep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]and then you cook themSep 03 07:23
schestowitz[TR2]they can be like 5-10 times smallerSep 03 07:24
IsambardPrinceI need two pounds for my cajun cream of mushroom soup.Sep 03 07:24
IsambardPrinceThey do cook way down.Sep 03 07:24
IsambardPrinceThat's not fraud.Sep 03 07:24
IsambardPrincethat's how mushrooms are.Sep 03 07:24
IsambardPrinceLike spinach.Sep 03 07:24
IsambardPrinceFood fraud is things like cheaper sourcing of coffee while the price goes up.Sep 03 07:24
schestowitz[TR2]depends on the mushroomSep 03 07:24
IsambardPrinceOr chocolate full of cheap fillers.Sep 03 07:24
schestowitz[TR2]they 'standardise' for size and weight once cookedSep 03 07:25
schestowitz[TR2]the big ones get veyr smallSep 03 07:25
schestowitz[TR2]the wet and small ones stay similar sizeSep 03 07:25
schestowitz[TR2]but the shop sell big ones to give impressioon of voluimeSep 03 07:25
schestowitz[TR2]where there is noneSep 03 07:25
IsambardPrinceRent has gotten so expensive there's a "pay in two" for rent now.Sep 03 07:25
schestowitz[TR2]a good blend of coffee is likwe 7 pounds nowSep 03 07:25
schestowitz[TR2]for 200gSep 03 07:26
IsambardPrinceI did the math, it would add $83 to our rent.Sep 03 07:26
IsambardPrinceSo how does that help our cash "flow"?Sep 03 07:26
IsambardPrinceHelps it flow to some bank I guess.Sep 03 07:26
IsambardPrinceMom said "And there's probably people living there that do it every month."Sep 03 07:26
IsambardPrinceI said "Most likely."Sep 03 07:26
IsambardPrinceSpeaking about your "one day at a time" approach.Sep 03 07:26
IsambardPrinceEverything's on installments now.Sep 03 07:27
IsambardPrinceEven Taco Bell has a pay in four option.Sep 03 07:27
IsambardPrinceSo you can finally finish paying off that burrito a month from now.Sep 03 07:27
IsambardPrinceMinceR: ^Sep 03 07:27
IsambardPrinceSubway is still pretty cheap.Sep 03 07:27
IsambardPrinceTheir spokesman turned out to be a child molester.Sep 03 07:28
IsambardPrinceAnd there are better sandwich shops.Sep 03 07:28
IsambardPrinceThey aren't horrible.Sep 03 07:28
IsambardPrinceIt's nice that they know what this is.Sep 03 07:28
schestowitz[TR2]<IsambardPrince> Even Taco Bell has a pay in four option.Sep 03 07:29
schestowitz[TR2]oh, wowSep 03 07:29
schestowitz[TR2]i didn't see THAT comingSep 03 07:29
schestowitz[TR2]but waitSep 03 07:29
schestowitz[TR2]anyone with vista credit cardSep 03 07:29
IsambardPrinceThey had one burrito on the app the other day that was like $7.99.Sep 03 07:29
schestowitz[TR2]is taking out cash from the machine by borrowingSep 03 07:29
IsambardPrinceAnd I was like, WHOA, fucking $7.99 for one burrito, at Taco Bell!Sep 03 07:30
schestowitz[TR2]and then buying that foodSep 03 07:30
schestowitz[TR2]so they pay interest on food purchasedSep 03 07:30
IsambardPrinceI remember when you could get like 11 burritos for that, and change.Sep 03 07:30
schestowitz[TR2]it's like added cost to foodSep 03 07:30
schestowitz[TR2]the "man" takes your moneySep 03 07:30
schestowitz[TR2]for your foodSep 03 07:30
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: $7.99 for a burrito, at TACO BELLSep 03 07:30
IsambardPrinceWhich isn't even good.Sep 03 07:30
IsambardPrinceWhich is not even going to fill you up.Sep 03 07:30
schestowitz[TR2]burrito is 4 or 5 pounds hereSep 03 07:31
schestowitz[TR2]when we triedSep 03 07:31
IsambardPrinceWhen there's an actual mexican restaurant next door with a huge burrito, fries, and a coke, for $9.99!Sep 03 07:31
schestowitz[TR2]i think it was 50% offSep 03 07:31
IsambardPrinceWith steak in it!Sep 03 07:31
schestowitz[TR2]after the lockdownsSep 03 07:31
IsambardPrinceThe lockdowns were completely stupid.Sep 03 07:31
IsambardPrinceYou forgot the first rule of a zombie apocalypse.Sep 03 07:31
schestowitz[TR2]reheasalSep 03 07:31
IsambardPrinceDon't let Roy's mom in.Sep 03 07:31
schestowitz[TR2]to be fair, that was sept. 2023Sep 03 07:32
schestowitz[TR2]they said it was already "mild"Sep 03 07:32
schestowitz[TR2]whatever that meansSep 03 07:32
IsambardPrinceAt least when I got COVID I didn't do any stupid lockdowns.Sep 03 07:32
schestowitz[TR2]it didn't have much impact on us, did not last longSep 03 07:32
IsambardPrinceI mean they said I couldn't go to the park, but I went there and stepped over the barrier and used the park anyway while the police watched me do it.Sep 03 07:32
schestowitz[TR2]that was days after puppy breaker was containing kaniiniSep 03 07:32
schestowitz[TR2]or the isp and hostSep 03 07:32
schestowitz[TR2]because puppy breaker is like "internet nazi"Sep 03 07:33
IsambardPrinceIt's fucking Chicago. You think they have jail cells for people who were minding their business in a public park?Sep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]he calls everybody "nazi"Sep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]and then fails to see how he loosk from the outsideSep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]like the man who called you "nazi"Sep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]because of.. reasonsSep 03 07:33
IsambardPrinceBrandon LobstaeSep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]seems like a hot topic this weekSep 03 07:33
IsambardPrince*LobstaSep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]everyone gets called a "nazi"Sep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]for not being very "left"Sep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]and it's not even leftSep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]they are just delusionalSep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]they are not leftSep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]many are pro-hamasSep 03 07:33
schestowitz[TR2]and they call it "lefist"Sep 03 07:34
schestowitz[TR2]i don't seem to understand why islamic is "left"Sep 03 07:34
IsambardPrinceLobsta would be a Nazi except that he'd be killed by actual Nazis. Not sour face, I mean Zyklon B dead.Sep 03 07:34
schestowitz[TR2]nothing leftist about itSep 03 07:34
IsambardPrinceThe Muslims would do the same thing to him in Palestine.Sep 03 07:34
IsambardPrinceMaybe not with pesticide.Sep 03 07:34
IsambardPrinceBut with whatever they could grab, probably a big rock or something.Sep 03 07:34
IsambardPrinceMuslims in Palestine are like German cockroaches.Sep 03 07:35
IsambardPrinceThey breed so fast that the nymphs are already having nymphs.Sep 03 07:35
IsambardPrinceThat's why more than 60% of the population there is kids.Sep 03 07:36
IsambardPrinceThere's no birth control and even the kids are supposed to start producing kids, usually at like 12 or something.Sep 03 07:36
IsambardPrinceBecause they're sickos.Sep 03 07:36
IsambardPrinceLobsta seems to fail to discern between different Muslim groups.Sep 03 07:37
IsambardPrinceNot all of them are like this.Sep 03 07:37
IsambardPrincePicks the worst people in the world to "rally" for. The ones that would not allow him to live for 5 seconds if he crossed over into Gaza somehow.Sep 03 07:37
IsambardPrinceThe difference between Americans and Germans is that Americans used Zyklon B to fumigate the immigrants' clothing. The Germans used it to fumigate the immigrants.Sep 03 07:38

IsambardPrinceEven if nobody cares where the oil comes from or what had to happen to how many people to get it, Venezuela's infrastructure is going to take at least 7 years and billions and billions of dollars to fix. Even if anyone agrees to do that, it's going to take so long that it's not a quick fix to current gas prices, which are going to be over $5 a gallon in many areas until supplies actually normalize.Sep 03 18:55

IsambardPrinceI wonder if there's a later version of this anywhere.Sep 03 20:00
IsambardPrinceDad used to use this on his computer.Sep 03 20:00
IsambardPrinceHe never registered it even though the guy said you have to pay $10 if you use it more than 10 days.Sep 03 20:00
IsambardPrinceit never actually timed out, it just had a shareware notice when you exitt.Sep 03 20:00
IsambardPrinceIt was difficult to enforce shareware timeouts on DOS so most programs either just didn't have the full version or just kept asking you for money until you bought it and entered a code or installed the version from a floppy or something.Sep 03 20:04
IsambardPrinceHorrifyingly, some programs actually did try to enforce registration time bombs.Sep 03 20:04
IsambardPrinceI say horrifyingly because there was no persistent way to do this other than writing to the boot block each time the program was loaded or something.Sep 03 20:05
IsambardPrinceAdobe actually did this with Windows programs and ended up screwing up the boot sector.Sep 03 20:05
IsambardPrinceDazzle for DOS had no password to unlock the screen, so my dad added it to autoexec.bat to start when the computer loaded DOS, and to keep restarting it if you exited dazzle, to tr to get me to stop messing around on his computer.Sep 03 20:09
IsambardPrinceThrough trial and error (I had no DOS manual) I found the ctrl+c interrupt eventually.Sep 03 20:09
IsambardPrinceHe never realized that I figured it out.Sep 03 20:12
IsambardPrinceBecause the next step would have been to use BREAK OFF to stop DOS from recognizing the interrupt keys.Sep 03 20:13
IsambardPrinceAt that point there would have been no way out of dazzle other than using a boot floppy to start the system.Sep 03 20:13
IsambardPrinceThe only thing I actually did when I got through the Dazzle wall was play X-Wing or Companions of Xanth or Chip's Challenge or things like that. I never did mess with his important files. I wasn't stupid.Sep 03 20:17
IsambardPrinceNothing else we had in the house was good enough to play X-Wing. He got me an old 386 SX laptop that barely ran Wolfenstein 3d.Sep 03 20:18
IsambardPrinceSo I still popped the lock to his study and fired up the 486 Packard Bell to play X-Wing. I installed Doom under the C:\Windows folder in some boring file hierarchy nobody would ever go to.Sep 03 20:19
IsambardPrinceThat became my way of hiding my files well into Windows 9x. We eventually had a Windows 98 PC that I blinged out with a 3dfx card, 256 MB of RAM, a much bigger hard drive (4 GB was totally inadequate once I discovered file sharing), etc. I was hiding entire web browsers and porn and stuff under some C:\Windows path, it had these incredibly, stupidly long subdirectories that no normal user would ever bother looking under like "C:\Sep 03 20:21
IsambardPrinceWindows\System32\catroott\oobe\whatever"Sep 03 20:21
IsambardPrinceSo you just made whatever you wanted to hide look like some junk that Windows put there. And it usually worked because no normal person was bored enough to navigate through that mess with Windows Explorer.Sep 03 20:22
IsambardPrinceThe way I recall, the find files and folders feature was extremely slow in Windows 98. It grinded the hard disk.Sep 03 20:25
IsambardPrinceMicrosoft assumed that nobody was going to want to wait while it searched system folders you never wanted to shove regular files into anyway, so it had an unmarked checkbox to do that. If you didn't check the box, it would exclude those folders.Sep 03 20:26
IsambardPrinceBut just in case, I also obscured the name of the program so it wouldn't say something like "DOOM" or Opera or Netscape or whatever. It would be something that looked like Windows put that folder there.Sep 03 20:27
