[01:13]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, If it was up to me we'd handle pedophiles by reaching back for a purer, sterner, form of justice, and burn them alive at the stake.
[01:13]	Isambard_Prince	Instead, Hungary and the US seem to enjoy electing them now.
[01:13]	MinceR	lol
[01:13]	Isambard_Prince	And don't care even after it's revealed.
[01:13]	MinceR	i don't think that ever worked
[01:14]	MinceR	given that the "leaders" were almost never burned or staked

[01:16]	Isambard_Prince	Oh I'm not talking about "underage, but over the age of consent". I agree that this should (normally) be a misdemeanor, like they can get you for traveling to meet a minor or contributing to delinquency. But like, under 16 we should talk about how long in prison, and under 14 it should be which execution method will most deter the others. And if there were authority figures, violence, or threats involved, it goes right back to 
[01:16]	Isambard_Prince	execution.
[01:17]	Isambard_Prince	I think that something suitably gruesome will deter most of them.
[01:17]	Isambard_Prince	The ones that are not deterred will eventually serve that purpose.
[01:17]	Isambard_Prince	The demonstration.
[01:17]	Isambard_Prince	So I strongly disagree with Peter Bright's 10 years in prison.
[01:18]	Isambard_Prince	I think that they should have executed him.
[01:18]	Isambard_Prince	While playing Meatloaf's Execution Day.
[01:19]	MinceR	and i think that the state isn't good at going after authority figures
[01:20]	Isambard_Prince	Illinois recognizes consent at 17. They've tried to change it to 18 a number of times but that always stalls out.
[01:20]	Isambard_Prince	I think most people are comfortable where it is.
[01:21]	Isambard_Prince	I mean you can usually register to vote at 17 and the military will let you join.
[01:23]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I'm even cooler than Steve Jobs.
[01:23]	MinceR	also, given how many people still worship orban and lump, i'd say human society as a whole isn't good at going after pedophiles in positions of authority
[01:24]	Isambard_Prince	I got a long sleeved black shirt and blue jeans. But mine are Carhartt.
[01:24]	Isambard_Prince	And his weren't.
[01:24]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[01:24]	MinceR	steve jobs is pretty cool now, being buried and largely decomposed
[01:24]	Isambard_Prince	50 degrees or so down there I think.
[01:24]	Isambard_Prince	Not in Hell, but....
[01:24]	MinceR	that's pretty cool

[01:43]	Isambard_Prince	"Most federal agents have moved on from Chicago, while criminal cases against U.S. citizens that arose from their time here have continued to move through the legal system. But many of those charges have disintegrated only weeks after being filed."
[01:43]	Isambard_Prince	Yeah, the Grand Juries are tossing them out. They know what this is. They've seen the news.'
[01:45]	Isambard_Prince	When the feds bring criminal charges against you they usually have to do it in the place the alleged crime happened in.
[01:45]	Isambard_Prince	So in Chicago, that's the Northern District of Illinois federal district court.
[01:46]	Isambard_Prince	They get a jury of people from the district, which is mostly Cook County and the collar counties.
[01:46]	Isambard_Prince	over 75% of these people did not vote for Trump.
[01:46]	Isambard_Prince	It takes "more than half" of a Grand Jury to indict someone on felony charges, and a unanimous one to convict them if it goes to trial.
[01:47]	Isambard_Prince	People here are generally mad about "Midway Blitz". So they're not having it.

[01:49]	Isambard_Prince	Wisconsin's Supreme Court has taken original jurisdiction of whether local jails can honor ICE detainers or hold people for ICE for profit.
[01:49]	Isambard_Prince	The majority of the judges are Democrats.
[01:50]	Isambard_Prince	It would basically be the end of 287(g) in Wisconsin if they hold that it's illegal for them to do that.
[01:51]	Isambard_Prince	Some of the people ICE is kidnapping in Illinois are being taken to Wisconsin and held in local jails, where Sheriffs use empty jail cells and charge ICE per day that they're in use.
[01:54]	Isambard_Prince	https://www.convenience.org/Media/Daily/2025/December/3/1-7-Eleven-Japanese-Food-to-the-US_FS
[01:54]	TR Bot	 7-Eleven to Bring Popular Japanese Food to the U.S. | NACS
[01:54]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I for one can't wait to see how a chain of rundown gas stations operated by Indians does Japanese food.
[01:55]	Isambard_Prince	"Inspired by the viral sensation sold in 7-Eleven stores across Japan, the Japanese-Style Egg Salad Sandwich is now available stateside, offering a creamy taste and texture reminiscent of the original, 7-Eleven said."
[01:55]	Isambard_Prince	Actually, I had one the other day.
[01:55]	Isambard_Prince	It was horribly bland.
[01:55]	MinceR	\_()_/
[01:56]	MinceR	i don't know japanese-style egg salad sandwiches
[01:56]	MinceR	i like sushi a lot
[01:57]	Isambard_Prince	You could probably do better at home and just use Duke's mayo. And any egg salad should really have paprika and pickle relish.
[01:57]	Isambard_Prince	Neither of which were in the 7/11 egg salad.
[01:57]	Isambard_Prince	They probably don't keep well.

[02:18]	Isambard_Prince	Hmm, maybe my prostate's a bit enlarged.
[02:18]	Isambard_Prince	I'm on the second day of this stuff and it's making me urinate a bit better.
[02:18]	Isambard_Prince	That's not terribly surprising.
[02:18]	Isambard_Prince	The prostate enlarges a bit as men age.
[02:18]	Isambard_Prince	This stuff has several medical uses including, relieving benign prostate enlargement.
[02:19]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Body builders are using the stuff too, off label.
[02:19]	Isambard_Prince	They say it helps them with exercise.
[02:19]	Isambard_Prince	How, I don't knoow.
[02:19]	Isambard_Prince	*know
[02:20]	Isambard_Prince	It can also treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.
[02:20]	Isambard_Prince	And of course it's an ED pill.
[02:20]	Isambard_Prince	Maybe it just cures whatever ails you. :)
[02:21]	Isambard_Prince	Medicare does not pay for Cialis or Viagra because that's what most men are using it for. That's why the drug companies also market it as another drug for PAH.
[02:21]	Isambard_Prince	I asked a woman living next to mom why she was taking Viagra about 15 years ago.
[02:22]	Isambard_Prince	She said it also treated PAH. (so does Cialis, which I think is a better PDE-5 inhibitor)
[02:22]	Isambard_Prince	The side effect profile on Viagra is far worse. And it inhibits other enzymes in the eyes and heart that you don't really want to inhibit when the goal is ED treatment.
[02:23]	Isambard_Prince	I think the goal of medicine should be to limit the spillover effect into undesirable side effects. 
[02:23]	Isambard_Prince	Generic Viagra is a little cheaper than generic Cialis, but not much.
[02:23]	Isambard_Prince	You're talking about saving like maybe $1 a month.
[02:24]	Isambard_Prince	And twice as many people had the side effects, and one of the additional side effects can be "seeing blue or green tint" for the next three days.
[02:24]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I've been a little blue lately.
[02:24]	Isambard_Prince	No, not blue blue, toilet bowl blue.
[02:24]	Isambard_Prince	:D
[02:25]	MinceR	i'm blue da ba dee

[09:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	IIRC, there was a Web site for it

[09:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	so many d students likely used mine as their template
[09:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	this was 2 decades ago
[09:42]	psydroid3	maybe I should ask in the #libreoffice channel this weekend

[23:07]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Affordability is now a hoax, according to Trump.
[23:08]	Isambard_Prince	Rent up another 10%, most groceries up another 14%, insurance for cars up another 11%. Electric bills up 27%. All in the last 11 months while 1.7 million net jobs were lost.
[23:10]	Isambard_Prince	Those figures are just nationwide averages. In some places, it's even worse.
[23:15]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, The Illinois State Police have an ad that says "Don't engage with road rage. That guy could have a gun!"

[23:18]	Isambard_Prince	It's complicated.
[23:18]	Isambard_Prince	They have to have some expectation of privacy for it to be a felony, but it still can be a felony in public.
[23:19]	Isambard_Prince	It can also be a BIPA violation if the smart glasses are collecting people's biometrics.
[23:19]	Isambard_Prince	Which means that Meta could be sued for potentially billions of dollars.
