| DaemonFC | I scheduled a pneumonia vaccine for Saturday. | Jan 04 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not sure what that was that hit me last month but it went on almost all month and through two rounds of antibiotics. | Jan 04 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Mom _still_ has it. | Jan 04 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | She waited so long to go to the doctor that she started on Augmentin about a week ago. | Jan 04 00:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | pneumonia? | Jan 04 00:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | garmon? | Jan 04 00:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | harmon? | Jan 04 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | We're not sure what the hell it is. | Jan 04 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | Antibiotics kill it eventually. | Jan 04 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | It's going around. | Jan 04 00:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | pneumocron | Jan 04 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | The Amoxicillin got me on my feet again and I felt okay for 2 days after it ran out, but then I started coughing up green shit that tasted really bad. | Jan 04 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | So I went to the walk-in clinic and they put me on a Z-Pak. It started lifting up again, and it took about 12 more days before it was over. | Jan 04 00:15 |
| DaemonFC | It went on for about 27 days in total. | Jan 04 00:15 |
| MinceR | pneumocron™ | Jan 04 00:15 |
| MinceR | fluorona™ | Jan 04 00:15 |
| DaemonFC | Mom doesn't take flu shots. | Jan 04 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | She's taken most of her adult vaccines, but she doesn't get flu shots and she won't go near the ones for COVID either. | Jan 04 00:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | fluorona™ the return | Jan 04 00:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | two mate and mix to make a monster | Jan 04 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | She says a friend at church took the Shingles vaccine and had a very serious reaction to it. | Jan 04 00:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | stay tune for fluorona™ the trilogy | Jan 04 00:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | *tuned | Jan 04 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | I told her, "Well, it's well known the Shingles one can get rough.". | Jan 04 00:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | ewww | Jan 04 00:17 |
| DaemonFC | In the past 5 years I've been vaccinated against flu every year, COVID (3 doses, Pfizer), Meningitis A,C,W,Y, Meningitis B, and Hepatitis A. | Jan 04 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | The only one that had any side effects was for COVID. | Jan 04 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | I don't normally side effect reactions to vaccines. | Jan 04 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | Oh yeah, and I had a Tdap. | Jan 04 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | Tetanus is a really nasty thing. There's only been like one case in the US in the last 10 years that I can recall. | Jan 04 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | A child got it because his parents were anti-vaxxers and he went to the hospital for a month, suffered horribly, and by the time the doctors got it under control, it had cost the state a million dollars in care for the child. | Jan 04 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | People like that need to lose their children to the state. | Jan 04 00:20 |
| *SomeH4x0r has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jan 04 00:20 | |
| DaemonFC | Then they need to be sterilized so they don't have more. | Jan 04 00:20 |
| MinceR | i wouldn't trust the state with those | Jan 04 00:21 |
| DaemonFC | Sometimes the parents are even worse. | Jan 04 00:21 |
| MinceR | the state is a gigantic ongoing fuckup | Jan 04 00:21 |
| DaemonFC | Well, the theory of democracy is we have representatives to have arguments for us about how things should work. | Jan 04 00:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still remember the Tetanus... | Jan 04 00:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | as a kid I accidentally say on a small nail on a wood plank | Jan 04 00:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it was a bit rusty | Jan 04 00:22 |
| DaemonFC | However, under the new Democrat maps, 97% of people in Illinois won't have any choice at all about who their representative is. | Jan 04 00:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they gave me another Tetanus shot | Jan 04 00:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | that was painful, but no side effects that I can remember | Jan 04 00:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | *sat on | Jan 04 00:22 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, I hit my head on a forklift and cut myself. | Jan 04 00:23 |
| DaemonFC | They took me to the hospital and gave me a tetanus shot. | Jan 04 00:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe a common precaution | Jan 04 00:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. with rust | Jan 04 00:23 |
| DaemonFC | Then they wrote me up for having an accident and then they told me to go back to work with dried blood all over my face and a concussion. | Jan 04 00:23 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jan 04 00:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe the shot hurt a lot because of my age | Jan 04 00:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was under 10, afraid of needles | Jan 04 00:24 |
| DaemonFC | Like, gee, I was really trying to bash my own face in against a metal roll cage you know. | Jan 04 00:24 |
| DaemonFC | Write me up, fucker. | Jan 04 00:24 |
| DaemonFC | They forced you to work fast if you wanted to keep your job or earn any money that week. | Jan 04 00:25 |
| DaemonFC | Then when you have an accident....your fault. | Jan 04 00:25 |
| DaemonFC | The base pay at Stride Rite was $8 an hour, but you could earn about $20 if you maxed out the "performance incentive bonus". | Jan 04 00:25 |
| DaemonFC | So I worked out a way where I could max it out doing any job in the building every hour of every week. | Jan 04 00:26 |
| DaemonFC | Then they got suspicious and started following me around because the managers didn't know how I was doing it. | Jan 04 00:26 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I kept track of my "PIE" score and if I went over 150% (where the bonus ended), I'd do things to bring it back down at the end of the week. | Jan 04 00:27 |
| MinceR | Proto-Indo-European? | Jan 04 00:27 |
| DaemonFC | Like, if they ran out of work and told me to sweep the floors, I would spend 20 more minutes under the "order pulling" job code. | Jan 04 00:27 |

| DaemonFC | It would pull down my rate for the week and get it closer to 150% while I was sweeping the floor for $20 an hour. | Jan 04 00:28 |
| DaemonFC | Or taking a dump. That was fun too. | Jan 04 00:28 |

| DaemonFC | Well, if you make the same amount per hour under a job code at 180% or 150%, you should stay under the old job code for as long as possible to bring it back down towards 150%. | Jan 04 00:29 |

| DaemonFC | If Biden was smarter, he'd split this "BBB" bill into sections and have Chuck and Nancy start forcing up or down votes on all of it starting with the ones where most of them will be punished in the next election somehow if they vote against it. | Jan 04 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | Expanding Medicare is pretty popular in every state and it would provide them with attack ads against every Republican that voted no. | Jan 04 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | I'd start with that. Lower the Medicare age to 55, and add benefits. | Jan 04 01:13 |
| DaemonFC | Politics is often piecemeal. Stallman doesn't seem to get it. | Jan 04 01:13 |
| DaemonFC | The Republicans are a brick wall of "no" and the Democrats are functioning as several different parties calling themselves the same thing. | Jan 04 01:14 |
| DaemonFC | Jamming everything into one bill just doesn't work when one Senator that objects to any part of it can kill the entire thing. | Jan 04 01:14 |
| DaemonFC | By expanding Medicare, we move the conversation in the other direction from where Reagan pushed it in the 1980s. | Jan 04 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | "The billionaires are living longer, so the janitor has to wait longer to claim Social Security." | Jan 04 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | The problem is also going on throughout Europe. | Jan 04 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | It just keeps going up. They want you to die with nothing after paying payroll taxes forever. | Jan 04 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | They can turn it into a perversion of itself. Poor people pay, the middle class lives into their 90s. | Jan 04 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | It already happened to my aunt. | Jan 04 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | She died at 56 in a car accident. She paid millions to Social Security. | Jan 04 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | She didn't get anything. Nobody that was related to her inherited it. | Jan 04 01:18 |
| DaemonFC | Some people can afford to retire before they claim Social Security, or cut their work hours and go into partial retirement, but have to keep full time or they lose their health insurance. | Jan 04 01:18 |
| DaemonFC | Health insurance has become a carrot on a string in front of the plow horse. | Jan 04 01:19 |
| DaemonFC | Tech companies now exist with apps on phones to spy on people with crappy prescription drug insurance, or none at all. | Jan 04 01:20 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, Did I mention having to use one for Mandy a few times. | Jan 04 01:20 |
| DaemonFC | GoodRX is SO STUPID. It charges the pharmacy to run some numbers, like $3 each time they do it, then it gives them a price and that's what they have to charge you. | Jan 04 01:20 |
| DaemonFC | I talked to a pharmacist who says he runs an independent pharmacy (rare these days) and he just matches the price on the screen if that's what it says when he looks it up on his computer, and he does not contact GoodRX. | Jan 04 01:21 |
| DaemonFC | Because GoodRX routes it through a PBM and they are the ones who have contracts with the pharmacy. The pharmacy goes along with it because no contract with PBMs means you can't accept any insurance plan that uses that PBM to negotiate their prices. | Jan 04 01:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: back on topic | Jan 04 01:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have a question | Jan 04 01:22 |
| DaemonFC | Then at the end of the month, the PBM sends their bill to the pharmacy. | Jan 04 01:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | do you have much experience with "smart" things? | Jan 04 01:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | meters | Jan 04 01:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | microwaves | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | So, that's where I'm going here. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | etc. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | GoodRX gets information about every patient who uses their app. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | Even though they're a middleman. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | Then they sell it to the drug companies, in addition to their kickbacks from the PBMs. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz-TR> do you have much experience with "smart" things? | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | I have a smart meter. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | No choice. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | It's the law. | Jan 04 01:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | really? | Jan 04 01:24 |
| DaemonFC | And I have a smart toothbrush, but I don't ever use it with an app. | Jan 04 01:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | like, what if the home is old? | Jan 04 01:24 |
| DaemonFC | The company comes out and replaces the meter. | Jan 04 01:24 |
| DaemonFC | They tell you it benefits you in a lot of ways, including enabling "voltage optimization". | Jan 04 01:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | are some companies in IL not imposing it? | Jan 04 01:24 |

| DaemonFC | There's only one electric company in Illinois, and it's called Commonwealth Edision, but it's a subsidiary of Exelon. They also run most of the generating capacity in the state. You can sign up for another provider, but most of them just bill you for electricity and then sell carbon credits or some bullshit. Some run solar or wind and bill ComEd to put it in their system.

| DaemonFC | They threaten our lawmakers with shutting down the nuclear plants if they don't get more. | Jan 04 01:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they bill you twice | Jan 04 01:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) as customer | Jan 04 01:27 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz-TR> DaemonFC: those devices use up voltage? Well, presumably even the mechanical ones use some energy. They have to keep the dials spinning. | Jan 04 01:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) as taxpayer | Jan 04 01:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | the true bill is a hidden one | Jan 04 01:27 |
| DaemonFC | The new ones have a network connection over the power line and an LED display. | Jan 04 01:27 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz-TR> so they bill you twice | Jan 04 01:27 |
| DaemonFC | Exactly. | Jan 04 01:27 |

| schestowitz-TR | not the water ones | Jan 04 01:28 |
| DaemonFC | They've gotten over $1.3 BILLION in bailouts over the nuclear threat in the past 6 years. | Jan 04 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | afaik | Jan 04 01:28 |
| DaemonFC | They did it twice to make each one look like a lower figure and then threatened to shut down different plants the second time. | Jan 04 01:28 |

| DaemonFC | Yes, most in Chicago have boiler units because it's more efficient but outside Chicago, electric is more common. | Jan 04 01:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's common to have one supplier upstream | Jan 04 01:30 |

| schestowitz-TR | or tentacles | Jan 04 01:30 |
| DaemonFC | Because of the "pandemic" the electric company (and the gas companies, I think, nothing I have uses gas) are prohibited from non-payment shutoffs. | Jan 04 01:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | to give an impression of some competition | Jan 04 01:30 |
| DaemonFC | And they threaten to raise rates because of this. | Jan 04 01:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | banks can be the same | Jan 04 01:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | Bank of England sets interest rates | Jan 04 01:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | all the pertinent banks follow that | Jan 04 01:30 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, the Federal Reserve sets banking policies, but it's a quasi-governmental entity. | Jan 04 01:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok | Jan 04 01:31 |
| DaemonFC | The president and the Senate appoint a board of Governors, but they're nearly all from the big banks. | Jan 04 01:31 |

| DaemonFC | Because high inflation causes people to panic and spend, or "invest" into a stock market that's overvalued. | Jan 04 01:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | worst case scenario: another bailour | Jan 04 01:32 |

| DaemonFC | It's funny how that works, right? | Jan 04 01:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | [01:32] <DaemonFC> Because high inflation causes people to panic and spend, or "invest" into a stock market that's overvalued. | Jan 04 01:33 |

| schestowitz-TR | [01:37] <DaemonFC> Your marginal tax rate goes down. | Jan 04 01:39 |
| DaemonFC | The real estate market where we're at is dead. | Jan 04 01:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | with a spouse it works out better | Jan 04 01:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | if both of you work | Jan 04 01:39 |
| DaemonFC | Which puts out some of the rent inflation fire. | Jan 04 01:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | you do not get taxed as a pair | Jan 04 01:39 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I worked out our marginal tax rate for this year. Technically we'll be in a 10% bracket, but our marginal federal income tax rate should only be about 3 or 4%. | Jan 04 01:40 |
| DaemonFC | I told Mandy to slow it down last year. We went on vacation and instead of using his personal time, he just took days off with no pay. | Jan 04 01:40 |
| DaemonFC | Then he didn't use PTO for Thanksgiving or Christmas. | Jan 04 01:40 |
| DaemonFC | I know the tax code. | Jan 04 01:41 |
| DaemonFC | I always aim to minimize. | Jan 04 01:41 |
| DaemonFC | For 2020, our marginal tax rate was negative 0.78%. | Jan 04 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've just taken a calculator | Jan 04 01:42 |
| DaemonFC | And that was before the tuition credit I took, which was refundable. | Jan 04 01:42 |
| DaemonFC | So that made our tax rate closer to -8%. | Jan 04 01:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | 21% of my income goes to tax, inclusive of full health coverage (NHS) | Jan 04 01:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and inc. pension | Jan 04 01:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | so really it's 21% for pension+health+tax | Jan 04 01:42 |
| DaemonFC | Well, Social Security and Medicare are flat taxes, so nothing to be done about those. | Jan 04 01:42 |
| DaemonFC | State taxes income at 4.95%, but we each get a personal exemption. | Jan 04 01:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | the more your work, the less you get paid (per effort) | Jan 04 01:43 |
| DaemonFC | But the state starts at the federal AGI. | Jan 04 01:43 |

| schestowitz-TR | unless you are a tax-ecading oligarch | Jan 04 01:43 |
| DaemonFC | So if you can earn less at the federal level, you may be able to protect a lot of it from the state too. | Jan 04 01:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | *evading | Jan 04 01:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | then you are 'untouchable' | Jan 04 01:43 |
| DaemonFC | Because you start on the AGI (1040) or MAGI (1040EZ) line for state Total Income. | Jan 04 01:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | how to raise your income | Jan 04 01:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) work less (more per hour) | Jan 04 01:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) work less per time | Jan 04 01:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | (2) is not the same as (1) | Jan 04 01:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know people who work a net of 60-70 hours per week | Jan 04 01:45 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I deliberately filed our taxes using the 1040EZ for 2020 because the MAGI line produces a higher figure than the AGI line on the 1040. And you get to claim whatever the AGI or MAGI is for the form you used for their part on the immigration sponsorship. | Jan 04 01:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | then they have litttle personal life | Jan 04 01:45 |
| DaemonFC | So even though we had negative taxes, I got us above the minimum required level for immigration on the same form. | Jan 04 01:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | they get taxed like half their total income | Jan 04 01:45 |
| DaemonFC | I'm proud of that. | Jan 04 01:45 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I was sweating bullets. | Jan 04 01:46 |
| DaemonFC | One way it wouldn't be enough, the other way it was barely enough and they had to accept it. | Jan 04 01:46 |
| DaemonFC | Even our lawyer had to follow my logic. | Jan 04 01:46 |
| DaemonFC | She asked what the hell I was talking about with the MAGI line. | Jan 04 01:47 |
| DaemonFC | I said "Read this regulation for me.". | Jan 04 01:47 |
| DaemonFC | So I pulled a lot of legal maneuvers between everything I had to get done in 2019 and 2021. | Jan 04 01:47 |
| DaemonFC | And I got the better of a lot of people, honestly. | Jan 04 01:48 |

| DaemonFC | I'd rather lower the tax rate, because declaring more income causes the IRS to turn around and tax ME more as well. | Jan 04 01:52 |
| DaemonFC | Then we lose twice. | Jan 04 01:53 |
| DaemonFC | It's basically a lose-lose. If Mandy earns that $800 he left on the table by not using PTO, the IRS will end up taking about $400 of it anyway when they get done with me. | Jan 04 01:53 |
| DaemonFC | Then that sets us up for an even bigger problem. | Jan 04 01:54 |
| DaemonFC | Because he didn't withhold at least 90% of the higher obligation, then if the same thing happens next year, we owe a penalty plus interest on the amount that was under-withheld. | Jan 04 01:54 |

| DaemonFC | And oddly, that's how I've approached most things in life, and the states busted me for a couple of misdemeanors I didn't even do anyway. | Jan 04 02:02 |

| DaemonFC | The big reason everyone hates the IRS, or at least the middle class..... | Jan 04 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | The middle class sees it as the rich don't pay taxes, the poor get on all of these benefit programs, and then the IRS pays them as well. | Jan 04 02:03 |
| DaemonFC | Then it promotes this mentality where the middle class feels entitled to tell some whoppers. | Jan 04 02:03 |

| schestowitz-TR | you pay | Jan 04 02:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but... | Jan 04 02:05 |
| DaemonFC | The poor and the rich get the most benefit out of the tax system. | Jan 04 02:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's called national debt | Jan 04 02:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like a shadow bank balance | Jan 04 02:05 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, for now that covers it up. | Jan 04 02:05 |

| schestowitz-TR | another -250,00 USD | Jan 04 02:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | so in your lifetime you will need to pay a lot and maybe go to war with those who claim you owe them this much | Jan 04 02:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | plus, there are other fees on top of it | Jan 04 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | The United States right now is like a house that nobody is taking care of while the occupants live on credit cards. | Jan 04 02:06 |

| DaemonFC | Buffets reuse leftover food, and that's not a secret. | Jan 04 02:08 |
| DaemonFC | And not a bad thing. | Jan 04 02:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and her living expenses that she is accustomed to are insatiable | Jan 04 02:08 |
| DaemonFC | It's still perfectly safe to cook into something else for breakfast the next morning. | Jan 04 02:08 |
| DaemonFC | That allows them to keep prices down and it lowers emissions and food waste. | Jan 04 02:08 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz-TR> and her living expenses that she is accustomed to are insatiable | Jan 04 02:09 |
| DaemonFC | That's why they work 70+ hour weeks and brag about it. | Jan 04 02:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | wow | Jan 04 02:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | idiots! | Jan 04 02:09 |
| DaemonFC | They have to do that to make minimum payments on stuff they never enjoy. | Jan 04 02:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they live like japanese | Jan 04 02:09 |
| DaemonFC | They almost lost their house to foreclosure a few years ago. | Jan 04 02:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and cannot throttle up | Jan 04 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | And got sued by some credit card companies as well. | Jan 04 02:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | as they already use up their full bodily capacity | Jan 04 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | They have three car payments on things that are not practical or reliable. | Jan 04 02:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I worked 70 hours a week, then no techrights | Jan 04 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | Then they speed so much they racked up over $1,000 in fines. | Jan 04 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | Which I'm sure was great for their insurance rates. | Jan 04 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne's base work is 16 hours a week | Jan 04 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | mine 36 | Jan 04 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | And instead of slowing down, MARISOL got a radar detector BUILT INTO THE CAR. | Jan 04 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | For over $1,000. | Jan 04 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | a fine would be cheaper | Jan 04 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, those things are a cat and mouse game too. | Jan 04 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, not accurate | Jan 04 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, they make assumptions about frequency and other people reporting outposts | Jan 04 02:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | some become less visible | Jan 04 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | You buy one that can detect X band, the cops switch to K band. You switch to an X and K band, they switch to Ku band, you buy a X, K, and Ku, they start using Ka. | Jan 04 02:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | they ambush better | Jan 04 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | Or LIDAR. | Jan 04 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | Both hard to detect. | Jan 04 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | Now your system goes off because of motion sensors at the grocery stores and misses the cops. | Jan 04 02:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you get a false sense of security | Jan 04 02:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | and go over speed limit | Jan 04 02:12 |
| MinceR | get ahead of the curve with a stealth fighter/bomber | Jan 04 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, I used a radar detector once, schestowitz-TR | Jan 04 02:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | slowing down is cheaper than these gadgets | Jan 04 02:13 |
| MinceR | if your time is worthless :> | Jan 04 02:13 |
| DaemonFC | It was such a false sense of security that I started getting pulled over with it when I had never been pulled over without it. | Jan 04 02:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | MinceR: I remember that joke | Jan 04 02:13 |
| DaemonFC | I got three warning tickets somehow and then threw the detector out and slowed down. | Jan 04 02:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | I never got a ticket | Jan 04 02:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | didn't even get pulled over | Jan 04 02:13 |
| DaemonFC | On your fourth warning ticket, Indiana gives you a ticket and a fine for getting 4 warnings. | Jan 04 02:14 |
| MinceR | i never got a ticket for speeding and didn't get pulled over | Jan 04 02:14 |
| MinceR | even though i probably drive more than schestowitz-TR :> | Jan 04 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | So I got pulled over again years later with the same driver's license number, because that doesn't change unless you move to another state. | Jan 04 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | The cop says "I see you have three warnings. Last one was from several years ago. I don't think you deserve a ticket. So, this officially never happened. Just slow the fuck down.". | Jan 04 02:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | cool | Jan 04 02:15 |

| DaemonFC | "Guests with black-sounding names were 16% less likely to be approved for an Airbnb rental." | Jan 04 04:07 |
| DaemonFC | I ran into a sarcastic article the other day that was written by a black person. | Jan 04 04:09 |
| DaemonFC | Talking about how they bring the discrimination down on themselves by doing things like naming their children "whatever the fuck we want". | Jan 04 04:09 |
| DaemonFC | But the truth is if they were naming their kids Mike or Tom or Bob or Susan, they'd be getting more calls for a job interview and less crap if they applied for public assistance. | Jan 04 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | So names that don't "blend in" do call unwanted attention. | Jan 04 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | The Chinese have a saying that goes "the nail that sticks out gets pounded down". | Jan 04 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | Or something like that. | Jan 04 04:10 |

| DaemonFC | MARISOL | Jan 04 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | she does not own a home | Jan 04 04:20 |
| DaemonFC | They're tied down to a house where the property taxes have more than tripled in the last twenty years. | Jan 04 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | the bank owns it | Jan 04 04:20 |
| DaemonFC | They probably didn't plan on their mortgage going up that much because the bank has to cut the county a check for the taxes! :) | Jan 04 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | bbl | Jan 04 04:21 |
| DaemonFC | They're paying for the out of control government more than we are because they stupidly bought a single family dwelling on some land that people can trip on and sue them. | Jan 04 04:21 |
| DaemonFC | Unlike me, they're not judgment proof. | Jan 04 04:22 |
| DaemonFC | Judgment proof isn't a legal term, it's just a term of fact. When someone is so poor that you could sue them but you'd never get a dime if you did. | Jan 04 04:22 |
| DaemonFC | The government had laws in place to make sure that people who lose a lawsuit have enough money to live and put some savings away. | Jan 04 04:23 |
| DaemonFC | So quite a lot of the population isn't worth suing because they make less than $22.50 an hour and they have less than $4,500 in a bank account. | Jan 04 04:23 |
| DaemonFC | And if you take them to a debtor's exam too many times, you could find yourself in contempt of court, for a lawsuit that you won. | Jan 04 04:24 |
| DaemonFC | How's them apples? :) | Jan 04 04:24 |
| DaemonFC | And the funny part is, in a debtor's exam, you can ask them if they have money somewhere else, but they can also lie to you. | Jan 04 04:25 |
| DaemonFC | Nobody and nothing gives you the right to invade and search. | Jan 04 04:25 |
| DaemonFC | So as long as they feel comfortable committing perjury (many people do), then you'll still never get anything. | Jan 04 04:26 |
| DaemonFC | Landlords even get frustrated suing former tenants and quit trying to attach to anything. | Jan 04 04:27 |
| DaemonFC | They don't like to admit how often that happens, but often they can win whatever lawsuit they want to file and still get nothing. | Jan 04 04:27 |
| DaemonFC | An ex of mine has owed a former landlord $4,652, since 2011. | Jan 04 04:28 |
| DaemonFC | Hasn't paid a cent. | Jan 04 04:28 |
| DaemonFC | Pretty much the threat of not paying your rent, if you're poor, is that you get evicted (eventually) and blackballed (eviction on credit report and court filings). | Jan 04 04:29 |
| DaemonFC | Not that you'll get sued and the landlord collects. | Jan 04 04:29 |

| DaemonFC | I've decided to complete my HPV vaccination series as well. | Jan 04 04:59 |
| DaemonFC | I have damned good insurance that covers all vaccines with a very small co-pay. | Jan 04 04:59 |
| DaemonFC | So I've been spending the last couple of years making sure I take full advantage of that, at least for everything that's common in the United States. | Jan 04 04:59 |
| DaemonFC | HPV is sexually transmitted, and I doubt I'd ever have to worry about it again, but it protects you for the rest of your life and it's $750 cash. | Jan 04 05:00 |
| DaemonFC | So if I lost my insurance I'd never be able to justify spending that out of pocket on the off chance I'd encounter it at some point in the next 50 years. | Jan 04 05:01 |

| leah | schestowitz-TR: btw, something which raises my eyebrows | Jan 04 05:21 |
| leah | http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/159823?quicktabs_authors=0 | Jan 04 05:21 |
| leah | "GNU Libreboot" | Jan 04 05:21 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tuxmachines.org | GNU Libreboot and GNU Translations (Especially Chinese) | Tux Machines | Jan 04 05:21 | |
| leah | libreboot left the GNU project on September 15th, 2016. the reasons it did so were very bad, and i regret my actions back then but... | Jan 04 05:21 |
| leah | calling it "GNU Libreboot" in 2022 is factually incorrect | Jan 04 05:21 |
| leah | libreboot is not currently a part of gnu | Jan 04 05:21 |
| leah | although, libreboot complies with GNU policy and it is GNU in spirit | Jan 04 05:22 |
| leah | i actually asked rms several times, and gnueval, but never got a response, when re-applying for membership, so i gave up. the last attempt i made was during 2021 | Jan 04 05:23 |
| leah | rms himself even said so in january 2017, that libreboot is officially non-GNU | Jan 04 05:25 |
| DaemonFC | Many projects have left GNU, threatened to, or only stayed because they were given special permissions that don't normally apply. | Jan 04 05:27 |
| DaemonFC | I was watching Star Trek: Discovery recently, boredom, and Vulcan (Ni'Var) wanted back into the federation on the condition that it could leave whenever it wanted to. | Jan 04 05:28 |
| DaemonFC | Then the federation wouldn't allow it because "Then everyone would demand the same thing. We're not some organization you can benefit from whenever you feel like it and then leave on a whim!". | Jan 04 05:28 |
| DaemonFC | And the FSF, by granting this sort of thing so many times, they've made their foundation useless. | Jan 04 05:29 |
| DaemonFC | They've invited in toxic people who do not share their goals and objectives, who threaten them over things like the copyright assignment provision. | Jan 04 05:29 |
| DaemonFC | And now nobody will have to do it, and the best that we can hope for is that the US court system rules that the GPL is a contract with the end user and that by failing to perform, you are in breach of contract. | Jan 04 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | It's clumsy. It shouldn't be necessary, but here we are. | Jan 04 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | And as far back as 2009, *I* was arguing that the SFLC should "go there" because Samsung had been using Busybox in Blu Ray players and later switched to Toybox to avoid GPL lawsuits from them. | Jan 04 05:31 |
| DaemonFC | I was arguing that the GPL was like a contract between distributor and user back then because I knew that simply viewing it as a "license" would allow people to sabotage it by replacing only the bits that they knew would be litigated over, and using things like Linux, which has never been litigated over in many cases the GPL was designed to be used for (even the GPLv2!). | Jan 04 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | If it's a license, you need a copyright holder to get involved. | Jan 04 05:34 |
| DaemonFC | If it's like a contract, you only need someone who has received a copy of the software to get involved. | Jan 04 05:34 |
| DaemonFC | It's amazing that with thousands of contributors to Linux, none of them are interested in GPL compliance. | Jan 04 05:35 |
| DaemonFC | So arguing it under contract law can bring about a decision that puts these companies who want to do whatever the hell they want under notice. | Jan 04 05:35 |
| DaemonFC | What's going on in consumer hardware is a classic case of divide and conquer. | Jan 04 05:36 |
| DaemonFC | And that's what's going on at the FSF as well. You have all of these Cancel Stallman trolls because they figured it would be easier to push over with him gone. | Jan 04 05:37 |
| DaemonFC | And it's the same people who want Toybox so they can violate the GPL someplace else. | Jan 04 05:37 |

| leah | schestowitz-TR: DaemonFC: btw, i heard through the grape vine that the FSF has picked a new executive director | Jan 04 05:57 |
| leah | i don't know who, but they've picked one. they're probably making all the arrangements to bring that person in, set them up, etc. i expect that they will announce it by around the time of libreplanet 2022 | Jan 04 05:58 |
| leah | source: rms. i'm still in contact with him | Jan 04 05:58 |

| DaemonFC | Windows 11 isn't doing any better than Windows 10 so far for blocking malware. What they have done is slowed the system down 28% (for gaming, at least, probably other stuff) by running some extremely poorly designed parts of the OS in a Virtual Machine (which also blocks VirtualBox from working properly). | Jan 04 11:07 |
| DaemonFC | Windows is not a paragon of good design, but there are some parts that are exceptionally bad, extremely WTF, like the whole concept of svchost. | Jan 04 11:08 |

| DaemonFC | Humans have biological imperatives, an urge to reproduce, self-preservation, instinctive behavior, non-verbal cues, even mental illness (which causes some to be good artists). | Jan 04 11:43 |

| DaemonFC | The Terminator and Terminator 2 have the best example of what I think Strong AI will look like at some point in the future. It'll be a military project. Why would the military put down a commandment against killing people or want a machine to learn on its own and decide not to obey? | Jan 04 11:45 |

| kingoffrance | ^ | Jan 04 11:46 |
| DaemonFC | In T2, it was shown that the T-800 could adapt to mimic humans, given enough time and with a "learning program" active, but this was only so it could go deep undercover without arousing suspicion and then kill a target once it was inside. | Jan 04 11:46 |
| kingoffrance | im not so worried about some superhuman AI taking over. rather, people getting ushered into some idiotic AI that makes everyone dumber | Jan 04 11:46 |
| tech_exorcist | a superhuman AI would/could be stopped or harmed by a strong electromagnetic pulse, I suppose? | Jan 04 11:47 |
| DaemonFC | Well, a "caretaker AI" is probably worse, and more likely, than something like Skynet. | Jan 04 11:47 |
| DaemonFC | One that sees to our needs, and we eventually forget how it works and just go on for generations, incapable of doing things without it. | Jan 04 11:47 |

| tech_exorcist | (yes, it's YT, I know) | Jan 04 11:48 |

| DaemonFC | Every time they pass a law that's supposed to reduce poverty or "address racial justice", crime and poverty go up. | Jan 04 11:55 |
| DaemonFC | Because when they say "address racial injustice", what they actually mean is dump out a lot of people who were in prison for good reasons. | Jan 04 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | So they can go live near you. | Jan 04 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | While the government officials surround themselves with the remaining cops like an army. | Jan 04 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | Lori Lightfoot, Mayor of Chicago, has presided over a 400% increase in violent crime and 1,000% increase in carjackings at gunpoint. | Jan 04 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | But she herself is in no danger. | Jan 04 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | Even though the city has lost over 2,200 police officers since 2019, she's got a round-the-clock security detail and they've blocked off her entire street and they arrest anyone who pickets her. | Jan 04 11:58 |
| DaemonFC | Her latest edict will cause many more people to go unemployed and homeless (or fleeing the city with whatever they can carry). | Jan 04 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | The vaccine mandates went ahead even though people won't comply with them to go out to spend money at places covered by the mandate. | Jan 04 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | And meanwhile, vaccinated people are spreading it to each other. | Jan 04 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | With an R0 of 3 between vaccinated people. | Jan 04 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | That's terrible! | Jan 04 12:00 |
| tech_exorcist | that's because the vaccine is less effective against variants, isn't it? | Jan 04 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | For comparison, when you have something like seasonal flu, and one person gets it, they give it to between 0.8 and 1.2 other people. | Jan 04 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | <tech_exorcist> that's because the vaccine is less effective against variants, isn't it? | Jan 04 12:00 |
| tech_exorcist | could you give sources for both covid and seasonal flu? | Jan 04 12:01 |
| tech_exorcist | I mean | Jan 04 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | It is rapidly losing its effectiveness because the spike protein changes all the time. | Jan 04 12:01 |
| tech_exorcist | sources for that data | Jan 04 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | Well, COVID is more contagious among two unvaccinated people. | Jan 04 12:01 |
| tech_exorcist | re spike protein: I see | Jan 04 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | Without a vaccine it would just blow through the US in a matter of 3-4 months now. | Jan 04 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | Almost everyone would be sick at once. | Jan 04 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | Lots of dead people piling up who couldn't get into the hospital. | Jan 04 12:01 |

| DaemonFC | I recall hearing that R0 of Delta COVID was something like 15. | Jan 04 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | Which is worse than Measles was before there was a Measles vaccine. | Jan 04 12:02 |
| tech_exorcist | ! | Jan 04 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | But even if everyone got the COVID vaccine, it would still be many times more contagious than the flu. | Jan 04 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | Most people didn't even get a Chickenpox vaccine when I was a child. | Jan 04 12:03 |
| DaemonFC | It was expected you'd get Chickenpox and it would be better to have it as a child, because it was worse as an adult, and people would deliberately try to infect their kids with it at a young age because of that. | Jan 04 12:04 |
| DaemonFC | Then they'd show up with it at school, and that's how I got it. | Jan 04 12:04 |
| DaemonFC | Catholic school, 2nd grade. | Jan 04 12:04 |
| DaemonFC | I remember it pretty well. | Jan 04 12:05 |
| DaemonFC | The itching. It was awful. I was taking "oatmeal baths". | Jan 04 12:05 |
| DaemonFC | A lot of the reason we have a need for Shingles Vaccine today is because kids get the Chickenpox vaccine now. | Jan 04 12:06 |
| DaemonFC | So you aren't constantly being exposed to it anymore. | Jan 04 12:06 |
| DaemonFC | Being around people who had the Chickenpox every so often led to reduced rates of adult Shingles, even without a Shingles vaccine. | Jan 04 12:07 |
| DaemonFC | Because being exposed to the Chickenpox once in a while had a protective effect. | Jan 04 12:07 |
| DaemonFC | It caused a level of herd immunity to Shingles that doesn't exist anymore. | Jan 04 12:07 |

| DaemonFC | There's probably decades worth of bugs in uEFI now that could be used to completely bypass "Secure" boot. | Jan 04 12:14 |
| DaemonFC | We've already had a decade of them and it shows no sign of slowing down. | Jan 04 12:14 |
| DaemonFC | In many cases, even if vendors do patch it, they're sloppy and there's bugs in the bugs patches. | Jan 04 12:15 |
| DaemonFC | It's exactly like Microsoft. | Jan 04 12:15 |
| tech_exorcist | am I the only one here who thinks we should just keep computers (not the current architectures though) for math, cryptography and maybe communication, and use "older" things, such as good old paper, for things we usually do with computers today? | Jan 04 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | Intel just keeps releasing CVEs for the motherboard in this laptop and it's not like I'm going to install Windows on it again to update and then find out there are 12 more the next month. | Jan 04 12:16 |
| tech_exorcist | a big problem with paper is the materials needed to make it | Jan 04 12:16 |
| psydroid4 | I use plenty of pen and paper for things that are more convenient to do without a computer | Jan 04 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | Cryptography without a computer was pretty intricate if the person doing it was intelligent enough. | Jan 04 12:17 |
| tech_exorcist | I have a mechanical typewriter, when I have to do a lot of writing at home for school I use that | Jan 04 12:17 |
| tech_exorcist | actually, I *do* have a lot of writing to do for school, so I guess I'll use that today | Jan 04 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | The Zodiac Killer (probably accidentally) created a cipher that held up for over 50 years that nobody could have solved for when he made it. | Jan 04 12:17 |
| tech_exorcist | otherwise I just use a pen | Jan 04 12:18 |

| *phobos has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) | Jan 04 12:18 | |
| tech_exorcist | DaemonFC: oh, right | Jan 04 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | If you make a cipher that strong today it will take a year or so of brute force with a specialized program. | Jan 04 12:19 |
| tech_exorcist | :( | Jan 04 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | So, as computers get faster, you need a faster computer to handle stronger cryptography. | Jan 04 12:19 |
| tech_exorcist | 4096‐bit ECC | Jan 04 12:19 |
| tech_exorcist | you'd need thousands of relays to implement that in a relay computer though | Jan 04 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | The Zodiac was criticized for misspellings and poor grammar and not using punctuation. | Jan 04 12:20 |
| DaemonFC | But I think it was deliberate. | Jan 04 12:20 |
| DaemonFC | Someone smart enough to create a cipher like that certainly was no fool. | Jan 04 12:20 |
| DaemonFC | Doing this inserted doubt into possible solutions and made the cipher harder to crack. | Jan 04 12:21 |
| tech_exorcist | makes sense | Jan 04 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | Who is going to go looking for "paradise" spelled "paradice", for example. | Jan 04 12:22 |

| MinceR | lol systemd | Jan 04 12:24 |
| MinceR | 04 123746 < coodre__> nah i'm wrong, he just uses gnu/linux on mac | Jan 04 12:24 |
| MinceR | he probably uses systemd/Linux | Jan 04 12:24 |
| tech_exorcist | then is Devuan sysvinit/Linux? | Jan 04 12:25 |
| tech_exorcist | oh, nvm | Jan 04 12:25 |
| tech_exorcist | I forgot for a moment that systemd coudl almost be considered an operating system by itself | Jan 04 12:25 |
| tech_exorcist | I use Devuan with sysvinit | Jan 04 12:25 |
| coodre__ | i'm glad systemd disregarded the unix philosophy, so it can be an entire operating system. all it needs is a kernel | Jan 04 12:26 |
| MinceR | it's a pity that systemd still relies on a kernel outside itself | Jan 04 12:27 |
| MinceR | i hope they hurry up and turn Linux into systemd-kerneld | Jan 04 12:27 |
| tech_exorcist | the reason I'm not using OpenBSD is the lack of official support for Tor Browser | Jan 04 12:27 |

| tech_exorcist | choose what? | Jan 04 12:28 |
| MinceR | something else to run on Linux | Jan 04 12:28 |
| tech_exorcist | I see | Jan 04 12:28 |

| DaemonFC | Oh that's nice. The police had enough to get a search warrant in 1991, and didn't, even though they would have found the murder weapon and bloody clothes that matched the victim's DNA. | Jan 04 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | Then they wait 30 years to arrest him. | Jan 04 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | Nice job, Detective Dipshit. | Jan 04 12:31 |
| MinceR | did you expect the police to do its job? :> | Jan 04 12:31 |
| MinceR | s/j/own j/ | Jan 04 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | Hey, why don't you wait another 30 years and he can be as old as all those Nazi prison guards they finally extradited in the 2010s? | Jan 04 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jan 04 12:32 |
| tech_exorcist | MinceR: re TB: yes, but afaik it's not developed by the Tor Project team | Jan 04 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | <MinceR> did you expect the police to do its job? :> | Jan 04 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | No, too busy out trying to pull me over for going 31 in a 30 mph zone. | Jan 04 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | Happened.... | Jan 04 12:32 |
| MinceR | tech_exorcist: so what? | Jan 04 12:32 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: lol | Jan 04 12:33 |
| MinceR | "our rules are very strict!" | Jan 04 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | Brownsburg, Indiana.... | Jan 04 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | 2004. | Jan 04 12:33 |
| tech_exorcist | MinceR: so I don't know if it's as trustworthy | Jan 04 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | It turned out to be a fishing expedition. | Jan 04 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | The cops asked if I had been drinking and wanted to check my car. | Jan 04 12:33 |
| MinceR | tech_exorcist: how trustworthy is it anyway? it's built on failfox. | Jan 04 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | I told them "Just this Pepsi, and no you may not search my car.". | Jan 04 12:34 |
| DaemonFC | So they ran my license for warrants, didn't find any, and let me go. | Jan 04 12:34 |
| tech_exorcist | well yeah, but I trust the Tor Project devs more | Jan 04 12:34 |
| DaemonFC | 31 in a 30 is a very weak accusation. | Jan 04 12:34 |
| DaemonFC | Too weak to hold up in court, but enough for a pretextual stop in Indiana. | Jan 04 12:35 |
| MinceR | tech_exorcist: you don't trust the people who maintain the OS you're running? | Jan 04 12:35 |
| MinceR | it's equivalent to a distro package | Jan 04 12:35 |
| tech_exorcist | MinceR: I'm running Devuan | Jan 04 12:35 |
| DaemonFC | Even if you're going 1 mph under the speed limit, they can always get you for something else if they follow you long enough. | Jan 04 12:35 |
| DaemonFC | Sooner or later, you'll forget to use your turn signal or something. Many people will not have every single required light working on their car... Some people aren't wearing their seatbelt. | Jan 04 12:36 |
| MinceR | tech_exorcist: i see, devuan has no tor-browser package. but if it did, you wouldn't trust it? | Jan 04 12:36 |
| DaemonFC | If you're going to break a major law, don't break any minor ones that will get you pulled over. | Jan 04 12:36 |
| tech_exorcist | MinceR: if it did, I guess I would | Jan 04 12:36 |
| DaemonFC | Half the time the police find drugs in a car, they stopped the car because of seatbelts, speed, turn signals, or headlamps/taillights. | Jan 04 12:37 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: i thought seatbelts weren't required in the USA | Jan 04 12:37 |
| MinceR | tech_exorcist: the openbsd package is equivalent to that | Jan 04 12:37 |
| DaemonFC | It's up to the state how to handle it. | Jan 04 12:37 |
| MinceR | though it would probably have more patches | Jan 04 12:37 |
| DaemonFC | In Indiana, it's a $20 ticket. In Illinois, can be $300. | Jan 04 12:37 |
| MinceR | for sandboxing and whatever | Jan 04 12:37 |
| DaemonFC | In some states, they can't pull you over if the seatbelt violation is the only thing. | Jan 04 12:37 |
| tech_exorcist | MinceR: yes, but it's not been *ported* to OpenBSD by the Tor Project developers | Jan 04 12:37 |
| DaemonFC | In most, they can. | Jan 04 12:37 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: do airbags in cars sold in the US also rely on your seatbelt being worn? | Jan 04 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | In most states, there's no law against radar detectors. | Jan 04 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | In Virginia, it's a crime. | Jan 04 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | (and they have detector detectors!) | Jan 04 12:39 |
| MinceR | :> | Jan 04 12:39 |
| MinceR | who detects the detectors? | Jan 04 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | In Indiana, you can't have anything on your windshield, including a radar detector, but it's a fine. | Jan 04 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | In Illinois, there's no law against radar detectors or having it mounted on your windshield. | Jan 04 12:40 |
| MinceR | what if your rear view mirror is mounted on the windshield? | Jan 04 12:40 |
| MinceR | some car manufacturers like to just glue it there | Jan 04 12:40 |
| DaemonFC | The law covers things that drivers mount on the window that obstruct heir view. | Jan 04 12:40 |
| MinceR | ic | Jan 04 12:40 |
| DaemonFC | Which can be a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. | Jan 04 12:40 |
| DaemonFC | Which, again, is perfectly legal in Illinois, but not Indiana. | Jan 04 12:41 |
| MinceR | maybe it can still be mounted on the dashboard | Jan 04 12:41 |
| DaemonFC | In Illinois, you don't need to have your vehicle registration. | Jan 04 12:41 |
| DaemonFC | In Indiana, it's a citation with a fine. | Jan 04 12:41 |
| DaemonFC | In Indiana you can get a ticket for going too fast and too slow, at the same time. | Jan 04 12:41 |
| MinceR | lol | Jan 04 12:42 |
| MinceR | your speed should be a complex number, i guess | Jan 04 12:42 |
| DaemonFC | You were speeding, but other cars want to overtake you and can't because you're speeding in the left lane at a slower pace than they want to go. | Jan 04 12:42 |
| DaemonFC | So you get a speeding ticket and a left-lane hog ticket. | Jan 04 12:42 |
| DaemonFC | Illinois recently passed this too. | Jan 04 12:42 |
| DaemonFC | In Indiana, not moving over for a fire truck, cop, or ambulance with lights and siren on is a big fine. In Illinois, it's a criminal offense and you can go to jail. | Jan 04 12:43 |
| DaemonFC | Indiana has points for every citation offense, in Illinois they just consider every such offense to be the same and you lose your license if you get 3 in a rolling 12 month period (2 if you're under 21). | Jan 04 12:44 |
| DaemonFC | So in Illinois, speeding 14 mph or less and a conviction is the same thing as running a red light, but in Indiana the first one is 4 points while the red light is 2 points. | Jan 04 12:45 |
| DaemonFC | Indiana has laws about sharing the road with people on a horse and buggy, because of the Amish. | Jan 04 12:46 |
| DaemonFC | In Illinois, it's illegal to be on the road in a horse and buggy. | Jan 04 12:46 |
| DaemonFC | Indiana drivers licenses expire every 7 years if you're under 70. | Jan 04 12:47 |
| DaemonFC | In Illinois they expire every 4 years. | Jan 04 12:47 |
| DaemonFC | In Illinois, you can get a medical marijuana card, but it shows up in the police computer if you get pulled over so they know to harass you. | Jan 04 12:48 |
| DaemonFC | If you pay taxes on the marijuana the police don't know you've ever bought any. | Jan 04 12:48 |
| DaemonFC | It's not hard to get a medical card. | Jan 04 12:48 |
| DaemonFC | If you have a household member who doesn't drive anyway, you could get them to get a medical card and buy your weed for you so there's no taxes and you're not in the computer. It's illegal, but as long as nobody runs their mouth, it's also impossible to prove. | Jan 04 12:49 |
| DaemonFC | Divorce lawyers eat medical marijuana card holders for breakfast. | Jan 04 12:50 |
| DaemonFC | "He can't have the kids, your honor....he smokes MARIJUANA!" | Jan 04 12:50 |
| DaemonFC | It's the second best way to keep your ex from ever seeing their kids aside from uncovering a trove of CP or something. | Jan 04 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | Even though marijuana is legal. | Jan 04 12:51 |
| schestowitz | MARISOLANA | Jan 04 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | MARISOL was asking my opinion of medical marijuana. | Jan 04 12:52 |
| DaemonFC | She said "I have patients who use it. What's your opinion of that?". | Jan 04 12:52 |
| DaemonFC | So I said, "Well, I don't use it, but if they have a medical need for it, like they're in pain and dying or something, I think it would be cruel and unethical not to give them some if that's what helps them. Besides, it's their right to do that in this state at that point anyway, so my opinion doesn't really matter." | Jan 04 12:53 |
| DaemonFC | I think she was trying to bait me into saying something. | Jan 04 12:54 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't mention the part where I voted to decriminalize it in Chicago. | Jan 04 12:55 |
| DaemonFC | The police were whining that they would lose a "valuable tool" to obtain search warrants where they would uncover other crimes. | Jan 04 12:56 |
| DaemonFC | In otherwords "We're too lazy and stupid to do actual police work. If we lose the 'I smell pot.' line, we're fucked!". | Jan 04 12:56 |
| DaemonFC | But even as a legal substance, they manage to arrest and kill black people for having it. | Jan 04 12:57 |
| DaemonFC | So I knew they'd think of something. :) | Jan 04 12:57 |

| DaemonFC | "Pricier items on the buffet line – like meat or fish – are cut into smaller pieces. Rationally, a person would just take two pieces instead of one. But in reality, a diner is more likely to follow society's unwritten rule, taking a single smaller piece and moving on down the line." | Jan 04 13:02 |
| DaemonFC | No, I just stack them until I have as much as I want. | Jan 04 13:02 |
| DaemonFC | They have these little strips of cod, but if you stack it 4 high, you use up the same amount of room on a plate and you get an entire filet's worth of fish. | Jan 04 13:03 |

| DaemonFC | They like to scatter cheap stuff everywhere with the occasional meat dish. | Jan 04 13:06 |
| DaemonFC | But if you work it the other way around, you can load up on meat, then get some vegetables (I go after the ones I know are more expensive at the store). | Jan 04 13:06 |

| DaemonFC | Their business model is set up so that they can sink some customers like me because most people don't behave rationally once they get in there. | Jan 04 13:09 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not one of those people who get thrown out of buffets though. Golden Corral has actually had to do that to some people. I heard about a guy who went in there and stacked 15 pieces of fish on one plate and totally wipedo ut the serving tray, they asked him to leave, he refused to pay the bill, and then came back and picketed them, and got arrested for Disorderly Conduct. | Jan 04 13:11 |

| DaemonFC | If you just keep putting away plates of food or something, eventually they'll get pissed and ask you to leave. | Jan 04 13:18 |
| DaemonFC | But 2-3 plates isn't a problem. | Jan 04 13:19 |
| DaemonFC | I've never been kicked out of a buffet before. | Jan 04 13:19 |
| DaemonFC | I can't imagine how you could eat enough to be kicked out of the buffet. | Jan 04 13:19 |
| DaemonFC | My sides are splitting if I have 3 plates, and I hear of people getting kicked out for like 9 or 10 plates! | Jan 04 13:20 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Yeah, cafeteria restaurants used to be quite popular in the US. | Jan 04 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | There were thousands and thousands of them. Either a la carte or all you can eat. | Jan 04 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | Then they started going bankrupt or strategically closing locations. | Jan 04 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | There's a really good one in Indiana and one location in Illinois called MCL. They used to have twice as many locations. | Jan 04 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | There were two other chains in Indiana called Laughners and Jonathan Byrd's, and one in Texas called Luby's. | Jan 04 13:22 |
| DaemonFC | They all went bankrupt and failed to re-emerge. | Jan 04 13:22 |
| MinceR | :> | Jan 04 13:22 |
| DaemonFC | The companies that own Ryan's and Old Country Buffet (all you can eat) went bankrupt and most of the locations closed. | Jan 04 13:23 |
| DaemonFC | Ryan's was really good too. | Jan 04 13:23 |
| DaemonFC | My dad was extremely frugal, so we ate at all you can eat buffets a lot. | Jan 04 13:23 |
| DaemonFC | Marion had the Sirloin Stockade. Not sure if it's still there. That was awesome. | Jan 04 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | Their steaks weren't the sad ones you get if you can even find a buffet today. They tasted like something you'd order at an actual steakhouse, and unlimited. | Jan 04 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | I don't get my own generation, honestly. | Jan 04 13:25 |
| schestowitz | your dad raised you in good times | Jan 04 13:25 |
| DaemonFC | Quit fucking spending $40 to eat two small bowls of noodles. It's not funny! | Jan 04 13:25 |
| schestowitz | 80s and 90s | Jan 04 13:25 |
| schestowitz | back then families could actually buy homes | Jan 04 13:26 |
| DaemonFC | Oh yeah, Marion has become a real shithole. | Jan 04 13:26 |
| DaemonFC | It was a booming middle class city with little crime back then. | Jan 04 13:26 |
| schestowitz | [13:23] <DaemonFC> The companies that own Ryan's ... went bankrupt | Jan 04 13:27 |
| DaemonFC | The factories left, or the population went up and the factories that remained switched to automation and fired most of the people working there. | Jan 04 13:27 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz> [13:23] <DaemonFC> The companies that own Ryan's ... went bankrupt | Jan 04 13:27 |
| schestowitz | I think we now know why they "went bankrupt " | Jan 04 13:27 |
| DaemonFC | LOL | Jan 04 13:27 |
| schestowitz | "just give the cow... I'll be right lacking.. | Jan 04 13:27 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, they were putting out high quality food, not charging enough for it, and attracting the "vacuum cleaners". | Jan 04 13:27 |
| schestowitz | *packing | Jan 04 13:27 |
| DaemonFC | When you lose money on EVERY customer, you won't be in business for very long. | Jan 04 13:28 |
| schestowitz | it's a strategy | Jan 04 13:28 |
| schestowitz | they rely on men bringing the women and children | Jan 04 13:28 |
| schestowitz | they eat less and the women are charged the same | Jan 04 13:28 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, men eat probably 40-50% more than women and at least twice what a child would. | Jan 04 13:28 |
| schestowitz | also, they hide the more expensive stuff | Jan 04 13:28 |
| schestowitz | they charge a lot for drinks | Jan 04 13:29 |
| schestowitz | and give funny looks if you order no drink | Jan 04 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | Mandy and I are both men and I taught him how to work the buffet. | Jan 04 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | They hate people like us. | Jan 04 13:29 |
| schestowitz | the food can be made more salty | Jan 04 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | We go in there, they lose a few bucks each time. | Jan 04 13:29 |
| schestowitz | so you really do need a drink | Jan 04 13:29 |
| schestowitz | and for tap water you literally need to go to the toilets | Jan 04 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | It's actually against the law in this state not to give the customer free tap water if they're ordering a meal. | Jan 04 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | But the restaurants don't like it. | Jan 04 13:30 |
| schestowitz | yeah | Jan 04 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | They'll do it but they put the fountain drinks right there and imply you should buy one. | Jan 04 13:30 |
| schestowitz | they pretend not to understand when you ask for water | Jan 04 13:30 |
| schestowitz | and try to bring the "premium" water bottles | Jan 04 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, they bring "Dasani" or "Aquafina". | Jan 04 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | Someone else's tap water. In plastic! | Jan 04 13:30 |

| DaemonFC | We get it straight out of Lake Michigan and put it through a modern treatment plant to start out with, so it's not _terrible_ straight out of the tap. | Jan 04 13:32 |
| DaemonFC | If you get farther from the lake, then towns start using well water and you're gonna need a better filter. :) | Jan 04 13:32 |
| DaemonFC | I was going to put an under-the-sink four stage system in that house with John. | Jan 04 13:32 |
| DaemonFC | Glad I didn't. | Jan 04 13:32 |
| DaemonFC | Those are expensive. | Jan 04 13:32 |
| DaemonFC | The water in that town is horrible. | Jan 04 13:33 |
| DaemonFC | His coworkers were laughing at him because I was sending him to work with a 1.5 gallon bottle to get water out of the bottle filling station at the airport every day. | Jan 04 13:33 |
| DaemonFC | You could take a shower or do laundry in Fox Lake water, but you sure as shit wouldn't drink it. It's nasty nasty stuff. If you leave it out it turns blackish red. | Jan 04 13:34 |
| DaemonFC | They don't actually remove all of the minerals that cause the hardness, like magnesium and iron, they just "sequester" it. | Jan 04 13:34 |
| DaemonFC | But the agent that does that will dissipate eventually and you have black water. | Jan 04 13:35 |
| schestowitz | deny water? | Jan 04 13:35 |
| schestowitz | that's cruel | Jan 04 13:35 |
| schestowitz | very essential for any animal | Jan 04 13:35 |
| schestowitz | there was even a company called that | Jan 04 13:35 |
| schestowitz | akademi/xe | Jan 04 13:36 |
| DaemonFC | block water | Jan 04 13:36 |

| DaemonFC | Grandma left her sprinkler on and it got knocked over and started spraying her house. | Jan 04 13:37 |
| DaemonFC | They didn't realize it because they were on vacation and it was on a timer. | Jan 04 13:38 |
| DaemonFC | So they came back two weeks later and the house was red where the water had been hitting it. | Jan 04 13:38 |
| schestowitz | niiice. | Jan 04 13:38 |
| DaemonFC | Dad and I drove up and I saw that and his jaw dropped open and I said "Oh the irony of it all.". | Jan 04 13:38 |
| DaemonFC | And he had to pull over until we were done laughing. | Jan 04 13:39 |
| DaemonFC | You couldn't have a vacation with Grandma. | Jan 04 13:39 |
| DaemonFC | She's ruin all of them you took her on after you paid thousands for her to be there with you. | Jan 04 13:39 |
| DaemonFC | She blows the speaker on every TV she's ever had with televangelists on Volume level 100. | Jan 04 13:40 |
| DaemonFC | And so everyone in the condo has to listen to that shit for two weeks in Florida or wherever. | Jan 04 13:40 |
| DaemonFC | Then you take her to the restaurant and she ruins the meal by hurling insults at everyone at the table. | Jan 04 13:41 |
| DaemonFC | Then you take her to Disney and put her on the kiddie coaster, and the ride has to shut down for 47 minutes(!) while she's screaming and grabbing the bars and refuses to get off the ride. | Jan 04 13:41 |
| DaemonFC | (1998, btw) | Jan 04 13:41 |
| DaemonFC | Everyone in line who paid to go to Disney standing there because a grown ass woman won't stop screaming and get off the kiddie coaster. | Jan 04 13:42 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, She and my grandfather lost money to every con artist that came through their church. | Jan 04 13:43 |
| DaemonFC | Two I remember signed them up to sell vitamins. They sold their RV to get in on that and then lost all the money from the RV. | Jan 04 13:43 |
| DaemonFC | Then there was one where you would sell phone calling cards to people and sign others up, but them the 10-20 hour phone cards only actually worked for 30 minutes and the guy who sold everyone at the church on them had already skipped town with the money (Destiny Telecommunications). | Jan 04 13:44 |
| DaemonFC | Meanwhile, all your friends are super pissed at you for giving them worthless phone cards. | Jan 04 13:44 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, she wasted more money than I'll ever get ahold of on things that were obvious scams, televangelists, and panic buying food that rotted under the bed because the planes would fall out of the sky while the nuclear power plants melted down because the Arabs hate Jesus and they're going to attack us on Christmas because it's punishment from God for gay marriage. | Jan 04 13:46 |
| DaemonFC | My brother was living with her while mom was off having an affair with Gonad, and Grandma told him about the Y2K stockpile. | Jan 04 13:47 |

| DaemonFC | She's been an unintentional source of humor throughout my lifetime. | Jan 04 13:51 |
| DaemonFC | Mostly because I haven't had to be around her for any of it. | Jan 04 13:51 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, That scene from The Silence of the Lambs where Doctor Chilten was tormenting Hannibal Lector by keeping him in his cell with the TV on max volume with a televangelist screaming. He's taling to Starling and says what a hack Chilten is and "When you leave, he'll turn the volume back up. He so enjoys his petty torments.". | Jan 04 13:53 |
| DaemonFC | I said, "Gee, locked in a cell with a TV blasting a televangelist. Vacation with Grandma. Although nobody that's been there has had the benefit of her being in a straight jacket and gagged.". | Jan 04 13:55 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, ^ | Jan 04 13:55 |
| DaemonFC | THe Scientologists don't like psychiatry. | Jan 04 13:56 |
| DaemonFC | They claim that a man was put into a mental institution and drugged for being a schizophrenic. | Jan 04 13:56 |
| DaemonFC | And they later found out he was just speaking Hungarian. | Jan 04 13:56 |
| DaemonFC | They don't cite the source though. | Jan 04 13:56 |
| DaemonFC | Scientology has a lot of front groups. | Jan 04 13:58 |
| DaemonFC | They have a fake anti-psychiatry movement and they also have a fake drug rehab clinic. | Jan 04 13:59 |
| DaemonFC | The Christians have fake abortion clinics. | Jan 04 13:59 |
| DaemonFC | You have to be very careful where you go. | Jan 04 13:59 |
| DaemonFC | But Siri has directed iPhone users to all of this, and probably more. | Jan 04 13:59 |
| DaemonFC | The fake abortion centers are called Crisis Pregnancy Centers, but they usually don't go by that name. | Jan 04 14:00 |
| DaemonFC | They use a lot of fake names so you don't find out what it is until you're there and they're shaming you for trying to have an abortion. | Jan 04 14:00 |
| MinceR | ah yes, Hannibal Lector, most famous person who reads aloud | Jan 04 14:03 |

| DaemonFC | "There's very little inflation. Most of the CEOs admit that they raise prices because they can get away with it and they can blame Biden for it. Kroger bragged that you have to buy groceries somewhere so they can do whatever they want to you. | Jan 04 15:16 |
| DaemonFC | Mandy and I are going to the Golden Corral a lot because it's $10.50 per person and you can eat all you want to, so I pick him up at work, we make a mid day meal out of it, and I do very little shopping. You know what $20 gets you in the meat department at Walmart these days? Maybe one steak. But two people can go to an all you can eat buffet, which has over 150 things, including steak, for a little over $20. How does that work? | Jan 04 15:16 |
| DaemonFC | Golden Corral even has a loyalty program and I have 4-5% back on restaurants depending on the card and the time of year, so in fact we only pay 85 cents on the dollar to eat at the buffet." | Jan 04 15:16 |
| DaemonFC | It's incredibly cheap. I can't cook it myself that cheap! | Jan 04 15:17 |
| DaemonFC | There at the restaurant, they already cooked it, and so I don't even have to work to cook it, or pay for the energy to cook it. | Jan 04 15:18 |
| DaemonFC | So even right there, aside from the grocery bill being higher to start out with, I have to spend hours in the kitchen and pay ComEd to cook the food. | Jan 04 15:18 |

| DaemonFC | So cooking a single meal can cost you 30 cents to $1 worth of electricity, depending on the meal and how you cook it. | Jan 04 15:19 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Even with cooking, my electric bills only came out to $33-39 a month, but I think I can get them in the $20s by just "outsourcing" this problem to the restaurant. | Jan 04 15:20 |

| DaemonFC | coodre__, Ironically, it's the 5G bands that are only about as fast as 4G LTE that have any decent range, so that's what T-Mobile is rolling out and calling 5G, and they love it because it lets them shut down towers that they had before. | Jan 04 17:14 |

| DaemonFC | They know that there's a certain type who never has any credit and who can't afford a phone anyone has ever heard of, so they put them on a short leash by making them pre-pay, and accept more throttling, on a cheap phone. | Jan 04 17:19 |

| DaemonFC | Miles do a lot worse to a car than a few years of age, all things being equal. | Jan 04 17:27 |

| DaemonFC | I don't think that Libertarianism is a natural fit for the Republican Party. We actually criticize the Republican Party far more, I think, than the Democratic one. At least the Democrats are open about what they'll do. Dump more money into social rot. | Jan 04 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | The Republicans say they'll cut the government down to size, and then they get in there, and spend 8 years, and it's running bigger deficits than ever so billionaires don't pay any taxes, and then they spend spend spend on military pork and saber rattling and impotent and imbecilic bluster with money they borrowed from the country they say is now threatening us, at ruinous interest rates, which that country buys our country with. And somehow | Jan 04 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | there's 47% more government after W left than before. Amazing how the Republicans manage to be even worse than the Democrats. | Jan 04 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | Then the Republicans go further and want to regulate personal behavior that's really none of their business. So, the Republicans are even more of a natural enemy to Libertarians than Democrats. And it was in that sense that I voted Trump out. | Jan 04 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | --- | Jan 04 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | Court decisions that tell the government "No, you can't do that!" are terrific. | Jan 04 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | There should be way more of them. | Jan 04 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | The country gets a little less non-Free each time the courts tell the government "No, you can't fuck with them in that particular way!". | Jan 04 18:02 |

| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: it ought not | Jan 04 23:06 |
| DaemonFC | Which were developed over many years, which are known to work and be safe, and eliminate the disease they target (if most people take them), | Jan 04 23:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | a vaccine tried and tested for decades is likely finew | Jan 04 23:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | *fine | Jan 04 23:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | if people reject all vaccines because of Mandate Joe, then maybe they were antivax all along | Jan 04 23:07 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, I went ahead with the Pneumonia one because I had a talk with the doctor and she said it was possible that what I had last month was Pneumonia and that as you age, you are likely to suffer it worse. | Jan 04 23:07 |
| DaemonFC | And that the vaccines substantially reduce the threat. | Jan 04 23:07 |
| DaemonFC | So now that I'm sure what I had last month is gone, I want to make sure I get the vaccines now, before anything can happen to my health insurance. | Jan 04 23:09 |
| DaemonFC | I have to come back next year for the other one. | Jan 04 23:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you lock yourself 'down', vaccines are becoming less urgent | Jan 04 23:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you come in contact with fewer things | Jan 04 23:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | other than just covid-19 | Jan 04 23:09 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz-TR> if people reject all vaccines because of Mandate Joe, then maybe they were antivax all along | Jan 04 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | If this were about public health, there'd be mandates for vaccines that we know work. | Jan 04 23:10 |

| schestowitz-TR | yeah | Jan 04 23:10 |

| schestowitz-TR | no the second | Jan 04 23:10 |

| DaemonFC | Hepatitis A is nastier than COVID. | Jan 04 23:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | which means they still spread in some communities | Jan 04 23:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | about nastiness of things, socivd-19 seems worse | Jan 04 23:11 |
| DaemonFC | It's not as widespread, BECAUSE of the vaccination, but only some people have gotten the vaccination. | Jan 04 23:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | long incubation period, fast spread etc. | Jan 04 23:11 |
| DaemonFC | We should press forward and eradicate Hepatitis A and B. | Jan 04 23:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | you cannot | Jan 04 23:11 |
| DaemonFC | The government should cover the cost of those. | Jan 04 23:11 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tuxmachines.org | New GNU/Linux Videos: Video Editing, Garuda Linux, and "Linus Is Right About Linux Gaming" | Tux Machines | Jan 04 23:12 | |
| DaemonFC | Herd Immunity is sort of a firewall. If you get 80-90% of the people vaccinated and it's a very effective vaccine, there's hardly any way the disease could become widespread again. | Jan 04 23:13 |
| DaemonFC | Viruses that mutate into a hundred more things every year, you can't really control or contain them. | Jan 04 23:13 |
| DaemonFC | But the vaccine they started giving in the 70s for Hepatitis B still protects people all these years later. | Jan 04 23:14 |
| DaemonFC | So COVID is perhaps not a great target for a vaccine, but plenty of things are. | Jan 04 23:14 |
| tech_exorcist | haven't been reading the channel, but does Hepatitis B mutate as much as COVID does? | Jan 04 23:14 |
| DaemonFC | No, it doesn't. | Jan 04 23:14 |
| DaemonFC | In fact, one of the things doctors do as part of HIV case management for people who have that is.... | Jan 04 23:15 |
| DaemonFC | Bring them up to date with their vaccines. | Jan 04 23:15 |
| tech_exorcist | I see | Jan 04 23:15 |
| DaemonFC | You don't want them to get something else and have to try to treat that too. | Jan 04 23:15 |
| tech_exorcist | makes sense | Jan 04 23:15 |
| DaemonFC | And people should quit being so selfish and ignorant, because that's what anti-vax is. | Jan 04 23:16 |
| DaemonFC | It's ignorance of the facts, and selfishness based on that ignorance. | Jan 04 23:16 |
| DaemonFC | You can most likely tolerate every adult vaccine out there. | Jan 04 23:16 |
| DaemonFC | They do work. | Jan 04 23:16 |
| DaemonFC | If you get them, it can save the lives of others, because the disease won't vector through you. | Jan 04 23:17 |
| DaemonFC | I had hoped that COVID wouldn't mutate quickly and that the vaccine would stop me from getting it and thereby transmitting it. | Jan 04 23:18 |
| DaemonFC | But it can still happen because it did mutate quickly. | Jan 04 23:18 |
| DaemonFC | This is going to turn into another flu shot. | Jan 04 23:19 |
| DaemonFC | The flu shots aren't very effective and they wear off after about 6 months. | Jan 04 23:19 |
| DaemonFC | So you have to time them to kick in right before flu season, and even then you're looking at an average efficacy of about 50%. | Jan 04 23:19 |
| tech_exorcist | I see | Jan 04 23:20 |
| DaemonFC | This year, they say 99% of flu circulating in the US is H3N2, but it's not a good match for the H3N2 in the vaccine. | Jan 04 23:21 |
| DaemonFC | There are subtypes, and it's a different subtype going around than what they planned for. | Jan 04 23:21 |
| DaemonFC | An imperfect match can still reduce the symptoms, but it won't stop you from getting the flu. | Jan 04 23:22 |
| DaemonFC | They've been looking for a "universal flu shot" forever that won't need to change every year. | Jan 04 23:22 |
| DaemonFC | Now they're talking about an mRNA-based flu shot. | Jan 04 23:22 |
| DaemonFC | The ones we use now are basically not much different than the method the US military developed in the 1940s. | Jan 04 23:23 |
| DaemonFC | So we're talking about a technology stuck in the era of World War II. | Jan 04 23:23 |
