[00:02]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: There's people who are "surprised" when they do bareback scenes for some skeevy porn company and then someone comes in and pozzes up 3-4 people on the same set in one go.
[00:03]	schestowitz	i don't know what that even means
[00:03]	schestowitz	and don't want to know
[00:03]	DaemonFC	I mean, it's common knowledge that (1) HIV is out there, (2) it spreads via contact with blood and semen, (3) porn companies who do condomless sex scenes and pay so little are not worth a lot of risk.
[00:04]	DaemonFC	Apparently, they only pay maybe as little as $1,000 or so for scenes that take days to finish shooting. So I mean, get a job at Taco Bell for fuck's sake.
[00:04]	DaemonFC	Make some burritos when you're talking about a "salary" this small.
[00:06]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: https://yle.fi/a/74-20077352
[00:06]	TR Bot	 Finland sees unprecedented rise in STIs | Yle News | Yle
[00:06]	DaemonFC	Is that what you were talking about. Where does it mention sex apps?
[00:06]	DaemonFC	I mean it's obviously a big part of the picture here.
[00:07]	DaemonFC	When you live in a "first world" country and 1 in every 5 adults you see every day as at least one STD.
[00:08]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Gay men tend to be incredibly vain, but not that concerned about their health really.
[00:08]	DaemonFC	They don't care if they live to be 40 as much as all the sex and drugs they can have if they are physically attractive enough for a little while.
[00:09]	DaemonFC	You can be overweight and outlive most of those people if that's your only problem.
[00:09]	DaemonFC	But they'll ostracize you while they're shooting heroin in their cock, sniffing poppers, and on a sex app fucking a stranger in the ass in the public restroom with no condom.
[00:10]	DaemonFC	Being called gross by one of these people for "I could stand to lose 20 pounds." is fine.
[00:11]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: I told my doctor I think excessively salted foods and soda like Coke or something are both revolting.
[00:12]	DaemonFC	I said, "If I'm going to consume some calories, it's not going to be on something that tastes like someone dumped a sack of fake pancake syrup into some carbonated water and flavored it with chemicals that taste like ink.
[00:13]	DaemonFC	There was a Coke commercial back in the 90s that I liked to make fun of in the shower.

[00:13]	TR Bot	yewtu.be | Adam Ruins Everything - You Probably Have Herpes and That's Okay (Excerpt) - Invidious
[00:13]	DaemonFC	I always sang, "Choke-a-Cola, stinky drink! Pour it down the kitchen sink! Smells like vinegar and tastes like ink!"
[00:14]	DaemonFC	arkanian: Syphilis and HIV are way more of a problem than a Herpes virus.
[00:15]	DaemonFC	You can live as long as anyone with most Herpes viruses. They're an occasional nuisance but they don't kill you.
[00:16]	DaemonFC	Syphilis and HIV are mainly concentrated in the Black community according to the CDC.
[00:16]	DaemonFC	And very nearly all the AIDS deaths in America are in five southern States that don't give a fuck and turn down ADAP and health screening money from the feds.
[00:16]	DaemonFC	Screening, treatment, and prevention literacy save lives, for many reasons.
[00:17]	DaemonFC	If a person is infected and has an undetectable viral load, they are generally not contagious.
[00:17]	arkanian	Yes
[00:17]	arkanian	Most people have herpes though
[00:17]	DaemonFC	Most infected people who know about it don't want to spread it because they're not terrible evil people. (A few are.)
[00:17]	arkanian	so if 1 in 5 people in the USA have an STI, it is probably mostly herpes
[00:17]	DaemonFC	Prevention literacy is just what it sounds like. "This is how it spreads. This is how you stop it."
[00:19]	DaemonFC	I don't know why my State repealed the Criminal HIV spreading law.
[00:19]	DaemonFC	It was set up with so many outs that you had to know about it and do it deliberately to be in any trouble for it.
[00:19]	DaemonFC	The prosecutor being the most aggressive with it, and charging it inappropriately, was a Democrat.
[00:19]	DaemonFC	In Chicago.
[00:20]	DaemonFC	They should throw that stupid bitch out of office.
[00:20]	DaemonFC	She dropped all the charges against R. Kelly.
[00:20]	arkanian	I don't think you can spread HIV by peeing on kids
[00:21]	arkanian	Or being peed on by kids
[00:21]	DaemonFC	And she spent over a million dollars in hate crime investigations to find out that Jussie Smollett lied about there being any Trump supporters and in fact paid people to beat him up so he could say he was a hate crimes victim and boost his career with the Hollyweirdos.
[00:21]	arkanian	I'm not sure what he did
[00:21]	DaemonFC	Then when she did file charges for a false police report, he said "I'm only in jail because I'm black!" and so they let him go.
[00:21]	DaemonFC	:)

[00:22]	DaemonFC	arkanian: R. Kelly married Aaliyah when she was 14 in Cook County, by presenting fake documents to the government.
[00:22]	DaemonFC	No charges.
[00:23]	DaemonFC	Then he went on trial for possession of child porn and producing a video tape of him having sex with a girl of about 14 or 15, and peeing on her. No charges.
[00:23]	DaemonFC	Then when they changed their mind and filed some, a Chicago jury watched the tape, and let him go.
[00:23]	DaemonFC	Then a string of similar bullshit, same outcome.
[00:24]	DaemonFC	And finally the feds had enough of him because he was fucking underage BOYS too and claiming he would get them into the music business if they let him.
[00:24]	DaemonFC	And he was recording that too.
[00:25]	DaemonFC	He'll stick his dick in anything as long as it's under 16, apparently, and it was open and notorious and went on for over two decades before anyone stopped him.
[00:25]	DaemonFC	And Sony Music kept renewing his contracts and giving him more money.
[00:26]	DaemonFC	Not only open and notorious, he recorded himself committing the crimes and still nothing happened.

[00:27]	arkanian	thats a music video
[00:27]	arkanian	by dave chapelle
[00:27]	DaemonFC	:)
[00:27]	DaemonFC	Maybe they should have done a take on that video from Adult Swim.
[00:28]	DaemonFC	"This is what I do. This is what I do. This is what I do. I sit on you!"
[00:28]	DaemonFC	Just replace it with "piss" and have someone that looks like R. Kelly going around.
[00:28]	DaemonFC	Whatever they do with R. Kelly can't possibly be half of what he deserves.

[00:29]	DaemonFC	arkanian: One reason I want to see the FOID Act struck down is because they mostly use it on black people.
[00:29]	DaemonFC	Who have a FOID card and they find some reason to charge them anyway.
[00:30]	DaemonFC	Most people who deserve it are facing like 10 other things anyway and the prosecutor just adds the FOID Act to sweat them.
[00:31]	DaemonFC	If you're a felon you can't have guns anyway. If you filed the serial number off, that's a bad one and a separate law anyway.
[00:31]	DaemonFC	You could still issue Conceal and Carry cards and require them without the FOID Act.
[00:31]	DaemonFC	That's a separate issue, even though they issue combined cards now if you have both.
[00:32]	DaemonFC	Ghost Guns are another felony that has nothing to do with FOID. As are lying on NICS checks.
[00:32]	DaemonFC	I mean they have all these laws. FOID is not really helpful on its own and it isn't even remotely constitutional.
[00:32]	DaemonFC	It's mostly deployed against people who forgot to renew their card or something.
[00:33]	DaemonFC	This State is incredibly racist against black people.
[00:33]	DaemonFC	And the Democrats are doing it and offsetting with virtue signaling.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	Instead of "cashless bail" for people charged with serious offenses, let's start striking at the root of the problem. Serious offenses that are completely victimless, and are used as a weapon against harmless people.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	In a racist manner.
[00:35]	DaemonFC	Going through the law books saying the cops can't pull you over for fuzzy dice isn't real.
[00:35]	DaemonFC	Because the cops will say you were going a mile an hour over the speed limit.
[00:35]	DaemonFC	It's cute, but that's all it is.
[00:37]	DaemonFC	MinceR: One of my modules had someone say "Indeed" so I said it like Teal'c. :P
[00:37]	MinceR	:)
[00:38]	schestowitz	:D
[00:41]	DaemonFC	I've started carrying around a utility belt with everything I'm allowed to have for personal defense on it.
[00:41]	DaemonFC	Including a retractable baton and some pepper spray.
[00:42]	DaemonFC	You are allowed to carry a baton.
[00:42]		*jacobk (~quassel@2mnbtmv7ecp82.irc) has joined #techrights
[00:44]	DaemonFC	It's only illegal in a government building or "with the intent to use it unlawfully on another".
[00:45]	DaemonFC	If you are attacked and the person intends to do "great bodily harm" or you are stopping them from committing a "forcible felony" which includes battery, rape, murder, and a few other things, then it is justifiable to use this level of force.
[00:46]	DaemonFC	In other words, if you're walking down the street and hit someone with the baton for no reason, obviously you're in trouble. If you see a woman in an alley being raped and you pull the thing out and clunk her attacker over the head, you're justified.
[00:46]	DaemonFC	The self-defense laws include preventing an attack on another person.
[00:47]		*jacobk has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[00:48]	DaemonFC	To stop a person from being raped, you are typically justified even if you were to pull out a gun and shoot the rapist.
[00:48]	DaemonFC	It's a forcible felony so he loses the protection of the law.

[03:55]	DaemonFC	If she got out and someone found her I do want them to call me.
[03:56]	DaemonFC	They have tags with their rabies vaccine data and their names and my address and phone number.
[03:58]	DaemonFC	The landlord never checks their vaccination but it is required. If they get out and animal control finds them and they don't have that, they could possibly have the animal destroyed and then come out and fine the crap out of you.
[03:58]	DaemonFC	So that would be incredibly bad.

[04:01]	DaemonFC	It would be better if it was a little more taxing on the computer and the end result was that the encryption was improved quite a bit.

[04:12]	DaemonFC	You should see the filters on the air purifiers when I take them out and wash them,
[04:12]	DaemonFC	It's dusty, it's humid, there's mold spores.

[04:14]	DaemonFC	Then I have a small one in the bathroom, and that one gives me about 48 ounces of water every 5 days or so.

[04:31]	DaemonFC	Cylinder 3 misfire means you should pull the spark plug and check it. If it seems okay, then pull that ignition coil and another one from a cylinder that's not misfiring and swap them. Clear the code, drive around and see if the misfire returns on the other cylinder.
[04:31]	DaemonFC	If it does, you know that coil isn't any good.

[04:32]	DaemonFC	Or it could be a bad fuel injector.
[04:32]	DaemonFC	Or the ignition control module glitching.
[04:32]	DaemonFC	But a glitching control module on my car would cause two cylinders to have problems.
[04:32]	DaemonFC	Because it's a wasted spark system.
[04:32]	DaemonFC	One coil driving two cylinders.
[04:34]	DaemonFC	Most modern engines aren't like this.
[04:34]	DaemonFC	They went to coil on plug a while ago like that shit in Europe.
[04:35]	DaemonFC	It's easier and cheaper to maintain the wasted spark ignition system because the coils live on a control module a couple feet over from the engine.
[04:35]	DaemonFC	There's also only three coils with two posts each, and each one costs about what one does on coil on plug that only runs one cylinder.
[04:36]	DaemonFC	With the waste spark setup, all the coils are located together in a single unit away from the heat and vibrations of the engine.
[04:37]	DaemonFC	With coil on plug, they're inside the engine itself so between the heating up and cooling down and being rattled around, you can expect to lose coils about every 40,000 miles or so and it can be a real bitch to get them all out.
[04:37]	DaemonFC	Some engines you may as well do them all if you lose one because it takes hours to take the engine apart to get to them.
[04:38]	DaemonFC	With Gasoline Direct Injection, which these engines now also have, it gets even worse.
[04:38]	DaemonFC	They're more prone to carbon fouling and the stuff you pour in the gas tank to deal with that doesn't work nearly as well.

[04:39]	DaemonFC	The spray pattern directly into the cylinder promotes carbon deposits in the cylinder itself.
[04:40]	DaemonFC	In older port-injected systems the injector would spray the gasoline which would wash over and through the intake valves and it would disrupt the formation of carbon in the engine.
[04:41]	DaemonFC	Typically if there was much it would end up on the valve itself where detergent was more likely to be able to wash it back off.
[04:41]	DaemonFC	But now with GDI if you pour the detergent into the gas tank, most of it will just go into the cylinder and burn without doing much to clean the deposits.
[04:42]	DaemonFC	So enjoy having your fancy schmancy engine being ripped apart for walnut shell blasting, and the bill that follows it.
[04:42]	DaemonFC	It's high tech and Biden-approved.

[04:46]	DaemonFC	Mom was reading it. She doesn't seem to learn that those used car lots find some real dirtbag cars, don't even fix the half dozen recalls, and bondo the rust holes and spray paint and then sell them to her on a finance plan with a warranty company that denies everything or won't pick up the phone.

[04:49]	DaemonFC	The company that sold it to her rolled a "warranty" into the loan for another $3,000 that was completely worthless.

[22:41]	DaemonFC	"Total employment in the United States is also at the highest level ever"
[22:41]	DaemonFC	Unless you look at the Labor Force Participation Rate, and then it's the lowest since the Great Depression.
[22:41]	DaemonFC	"and the unemployment rate is near the lowest level since 1969"
[22:42]	DaemonFC	If you don't look at the U6, which is how they measured it in 1969.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	"The economy keeps growing because consumers keep spending."
[22:42]	DaemonFC	They're buying groceries using Affirm payments.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	"Recession is nowhere in sight."
[22:42]	DaemonFC	If you're blind.
[22:43]	DaemonFC	"Right. Theres inflation. It peaked at 9% in June 2022 and is still elevated, at 3.1%."
[22:43]	DaemonFC	3.1 is bullshit. Nobody can show me anything that isn't going up at least twice that fast that I have to buy
[22:44]	DaemonFC	"When the Times asked about the condition of the economy, there were four possible choices: excellent (which 7% of respondents chose), good (19%), only fair (23%), and poor (51%). There are three different ways people might think about this type of question."
[22:44]	DaemonFC	More than half said the economy is real bad. I don't know how else you can look at this. Except that almost 3/4ths said "bad or really bad".
[22:44]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:44]	DaemonFC	"First, they might think about the US economy compared with other advanced economies. But by those metrics were way ahead."
[22:45]	DaemonFC	Europe and Canada suck. Yay us.

[23:04]	TR Bot	 Release the panthor!
[23:04]	DaemonFC	I managed to extend that for as long as I could.
[23:04]	DaemonFC	I was still using it in the 2000s.
[23:05]	DaemonFC	It was good enough to browse the web on, generally.
[23:05]	DaemonFC	There were some MP3 players for it.
[23:05]	DaemonFC	It had....some games.
[23:26]		*parsifal (~parsifal@uuar9r28yasyu.irc) has joined #techrights
[23:31]	ZedHedTed	bet it couldn't run mini car racing
[23:32]	ZedHedTed	excellent PC game from 2000. still ran great on a windows 98 tower in spring 2005.
[23:34]	DaemonFC	So...
[23:34]	DaemonFC	Oral B iO heads went up to $30 for a pack of two.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	But if I ordered 8 of them from Amazon Global Store UK, I could get 8 for $55.03.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	So I did that.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	I usually stockpile these things because they gouge the shit out of Americans for toothbrush heads for whatever reason.
[23:36]	ZedHedTed	probably cuz the American diet is so full of sugar and corrosive materials that one needs to brush 3x/day here and still see the dentist twice per year
[23:38]	DaemonFC	They put fluoride in the tap water.
[23:38]	DaemonFC	They put fluoride in the toothpaste.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	They seal your teeth every decade or so at the dentist after cleaning them.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	They clean them twice a year.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	They use prescription strength fluoride at the dentist twice a year.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	And you still get cavities.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	I gave Mandy my old Pro 5000 toothbrush.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	It still works fine.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	The iO needed to go in for a warranty job because the battery was not so great after about 18 months.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	This is apparently common.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	Because why should a $200 toothbrush be as reliable as their old one?
[23:41]	ZedHedTed	dentist doesn't give me fluoride. they only do that w/ kids.
[23:41]	DaemonFC	Generally it's the cheap-o ones that cost $20 and run on AAs that fall apart.
[23:41]	DaemonFC	If it says Made in China and not "Germany"
[23:41]	DaemonFC	The fluoride is included in the $15 for the cleaning for me.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	Insurance doesn't pay for it for adults at the dentist.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	But the dentist also doesn't take 2-3 hours and do the cleaning right either.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	Then they hit you for $250.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	The $15 is at a dental hygiene school down the street.
[23:43]	DaemonFC	It's not that fluoride treatments don't benefit adults, it's that the insurance bean counters looked at it and figured they'd pay more to fluoride everyone than it would cost them to fill or pull a tooth here and there, and they're your teeth so they don't care.
[23:44]	DaemonFC	If they have to fill an extra tooth per thousand patients and pay the dentist $120 for their part of it then avoiding that extra filling is not "worth it" to them, because they might have to pay another $15 for the fluoride for every patient that goes in for a cleaning, times 1,000 over that span.
[23:45]	arkanian	what is wrong with a $7 toothbrush?
[23:45]	DaemonFC	But I don't want to be that 1000th patient.
[23:45]	DaemonFC	And since the fluoride treatment doesn't cost me anything, fluoride me!
[23:46]	DaemonFC	They sealed like 8 teeth one time I was there, for free, because the student needed to practice on someone.
[23:46]	DaemonFC	[3/4/24 5:45 pm] <arkanian> what is wrong with a $7 toothbrush?
[23:46]	DaemonFC	Nobody makes generic heads for the iO because they're patented.
[23:47]	DaemonFC	So they cost like $15 now, per head, at Walmart, whereas the old ones only cost about $4.50 per head for the name brand, and maybe $3 for the store brand.
[23:47]	TR News	Painting eyes video gemini://idiomdrottning.org/phoning-it-in
[23:47]	DaemonFC	They came out with those heads forever ago so they've been making store brand since at least the late 2000s.
[23:48]	DaemonFC	So that puts a lid on what people are willing to pay, and as a result, Braun tries to get away with less of a cost premium.
[23:48]	DaemonFC	arkanian: The iO does do an incredible job.
[23:48]	DaemonFC	But it's gonna cost you.
[23:49]	TR News	"As we can see there were theological opinions stating that people are justified by simple "imputation of the justice of Christ". It would mean, that this is just a legal act of making Christ justice to belong to someone else too. As we know from the Council of Trent - that's not the case and it is a heresy." gemini://0x00ff.pl/posts/0009_justification.gmi

[23:54]	DaemonFC	The new one definitely cleans better. They do a plaque index on my teeth each time I go in for a professional cleaning.
[23:54]	MinceR	that must be handy when you need to look up plaques by name
[23:54]	DaemonFC	This time I didn't get around to it for about a year and the tartar buildup still wasn't that bad.
