[07:09] DaemonFC :) [07:09] DaemonFC Simple calculation. [07:09] mjg59_ I don't *want* to go back to Google, but if I did they'd hire me at a level above where I was before and I wouldn't have to deal with all the promotion bullshit [07:10] DaemonFC Now you either have some real shit planning skills to realize that more money for a couple years doesn't beat settling in for the long haul and earning promotions. [07:10] DaemonFC Or you major league pissed someone off or royally fucked something up where you were? [07:10] mjg59_ It's actually really not hard to find a well paying job in security [07:11] DaemonFC Yeah, do you know anyone who actually does that? [07:11] DaemonFC Maybe you can direct them to a job opening. [07:11] DaemonFC What do you do? I mean, really? [07:11] mjg59_ Everyone I know in the field right now has a job already [07:12] DaemonFC You haven't secured anything. You've managed to help make my computing experience amazingly shittier than it was already with Legacy BIOS. [07:12] DaemonFC Congratulations, btw. That was an achievement. [07:13] mjg59_ Hey, you subscribed me to a spam list when I pointed out your complaints about a legacy BIOS system were based on incorrect interpretation of the code [07:13] DaemonFC I suspect that next time I'll just buy a computer that has nothing to do with any Microsoft or Intel specifications, let alone you. [07:13] mjg59_ And you've never done that about UEFI [07:13] mjg59_ So either you've got better or the firmware hasn't got a lot worse [07:13] mjg59_ Enjoy your Mac, I guess? [07:14] DaemonFC Maybe, maybe not. [07:14] mjg59_ Although they do implement Thunderbolt, so still some Intel specs in there [07:14] DaemonFC It's getting to the point where they're all "fast enough". [07:14] DaemonFC Especially if you don't care about Wine anyway. [07:15] DaemonFC Even if it's really cheap. [07:15] DaemonFC So Microsoft is in a lot of trouble. [07:18] DaemonFC They know it. This "Secure Boot" bullshit is too little too late. It's designed to throw up a barrier to fleeing them, and that would be great and all, if they were the only platform. [07:18] DaemonFC But they're clearly not. [07:18] DaemonFC You can go to Walmart these days, spend $100, and come out with a non-Windows computer that runs Linux programs. [07:18] DaemonFC They're everywhere. [07:19] mjg59_ Yeah, you can buy a Chromebook that implements an even more restrictive form of secure boot [07:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[08:03] DaemonFC You can blame charters but they're not responsible for all of this. [08:04] DaemonFC People are broke due to lousy wages, inflation, tax cuts for the rich that were followed by nasty new IRS regulations that choke out the poor and middle class. [08:04] DaemonFC Trump and Biden are the tax tag team from Hell. [08:04] DaemonFC Biden didn't reverse Trump's tax giveaways to the wealthy. Instead, his laws raise revenue (which is immediately spent on toys for the rich, like this EV boondoggle) by jacking up taxes on poor people. [08:05] DaemonFC I don't blame people for parking at Tesla chargers as a form of harassment. [08:05] DaemonFC The people who buy one of these fucking stupid things deserve a hazing. [08:06] DaemonFC For starters, they obviously don't know how it works or they wouldn't buy one and then be shocked that in a Chicago winter they can barely get 40% of the rated per-charge mileage out of it. [08:06] DaemonFC You can't even go 100 miles in it when it's 0 F outside. [08:07] DaemonFC My Buick maybe drops from 400 miles per tank to 385? [08:07] DaemonFC So there's that.

[08:08] DaemonFC And it barely drives 100 miles on a charge in the winter. [08:08] DaemonFC And it takes forever to recharge, especially in the winter. [08:09] DaemonFC And there's only 6 charging stations in a county with almost 800,000 residents, some of them needing to use those chargers because they have a Tesla.... [08:09] DaemonFC Where's the upshot in me getting a Tesla? [08:10] mjg59_ I would not recommend anyone get a Tesla [08:10] DaemonFC And surely you can explain where they save the planet when I plug them into the charging station next to the substation a block away from the coal plant.

[08:10] mjg59_ Switching to electric cars isn't going to save the planet [08:10] DaemonFC Are worse than a gasoline engine that has no less than 23 pollution control devices on it. [08:11] DaemonFC And running on Ultra Low Sulfur Gasoline. [08:11] mjg59_ Oh, overall emissions are still going to be lower from an electric car charged from a coal plant [08:11] mjg59_ Scale does make a meaningful difference there [08:11] mjg59_ Whether that makes up for everything else is a much harder question [08:12] DaemonFC Well, you're taking into account that the Tesla has more malfunctions in 3 years than most gasoline cares that are 15 years old and nobody is there for you to fix the Tesla. [08:12] mjg59_ From an environmental perspective, it's still way better to have functional public transit so people aren't obliged to use cars [08:12] DaemonFC And you just throw it away when it needs a battery on top of the other problems. [08:12] DaemonFC *cars [08:12] mjg59_ 08:10 < mjg59_> I would not recommend anyone get a Tesla [08:12] DaemonFC mjg59_, I drive most of my cars about 300,000 miles or so. [08:12] DaemonFC Over the course of 20-25 years. [08:13] DaemonFC Some of those miles/years were on them when I got them of course. [08:13] mjg59_ I think you're arguing against an opinion you believe I have rather than one I actually have [08:13] DaemonFC Not too many Teslas are economically viable after year 5. [08:13] DaemonFC So, life time emissions aren't just the fuel in question. [08:13] DaemonFC It's the fact that you'll need 5 Teslas per Buick.

[08:27] DaemonFC You're not a criminal, are you Matt? [08:28] DaemonFC You've got your six COVID shots from Bourla? [08:28] DaemonFC I think that tilts the scales back a little from liking cash. [08:28] DaemonFC mjg59_, So, there's some restaurants around here that only take cash.

[08:30] DaemonFC But maybe it's just good old tax evasion. [08:30] DaemonFC Or hell, maybe it is just about the credit card fees and they've been good boys and girls who account for every penny on their tax forms.

[08:31] DaemonFC As far as you can call a government that can't form a legislative government anymore "organized". [08:31] DaemonFC Their muscle still gets paid though, so they're dangerous.

[08:36] DaemonFC So I think we can finally bring some levity to the topic. [08:36] DaemonFC Since nobody is being raped because the government eliminated it. [08:36] mjg59_ schestowitz[TR]: Aren't you going to complain about him turning this into #sexrights? [08:37] DaemonFC Joe Biden is pretty fucking stupid but at least he didn't name the Violence Against Women Act the Violence Against Women Elimination Act. [08:37] DaemonFC Lest people may wonder when, exactly, violence against women would be eliminated by the legislation. [08:37] DaemonFC Technically, the Act covers male victims too, but only technically. [08:37] DaemonFC Because if you call the police out over some gay shit or a man being beaten by the wife they'll either laugh about it or participate.

[08:39] schestowitz[TR] and people being turned down inn jobs in Bay Area because they won't sleep with or have orgies with x [08:39] schestowitz[TR] seems like the problem in Bay Area is extortion [08:39] DaemonFC Like six people fucking each other in the family bathroom and nobody locked the door.

Keeping it airgapped and away from malicious people I hope.". [20:47] DaemonFC I went over some possible ways to contain it the way I do with Windows in my VMs on Fedora when I have to get in there and mess with something. [20:48] DaemonFC Windows is too dangerous to allow outside of a virtual machine, too dangerous for the VM too for that matter, so get what you're getting done dealt with and close the VM again and be careful what resources you share with it. [20:53] DaemonFC The USPS is buying some EVs for the mail. [20:54] DaemonFC It makes sense in some cases, but you have to look at the climate for the area you'll be operating the truck in. [20:54] DaemonFC If it gets as cold as it does where I live, it's not worth switching from diesel. [20:54] DaemonFC You get a block heater, you'll get the diesel going and the truck will stay on. [20:55] DaemonFC If you try to use an EV for the mail, you'll get all of these cold winter days and it'll cut the range almost 60% and it won't even be worth fucking around with. [20:55] DaemonFC But aside from unreliable electricity because of California voters, it would otherwise make sense where mjg59_ lives. [20:56] DaemonFC You can't really ask a lot of an EV where I live unless you want a major disappointment. [20:56] DaemonFC Not that the Dummycrat Party isn't trying to push them on us.

[21:00] DaemonFC P2P cooks are less pure and have more undesirable effects than the cooks that use pseudoephedrine as a precursor. [21:00] DaemonFC In fact, I ran into a very long explanation the other day about the two setups. [21:01] DaemonFC P2P is what most meth in the US uses because the feds and the states have clamped down so hard on pseudoephedrine that it's hard to get enough now for a large cook. [21:01] DaemonFC Unfortunately, P2P is chemically different and is much more destructive. [21:02] DaemonFC There's no way anyone would be using it if they could get enough PSE, but now with all of the government regulations going after PSE, P2P is easier and 96% of all meth being seized is P2P. [21:02] DaemonFC So the government passed laws that make meth more dangerous. [21:03] DaemonFC And that's literally all they've accomplished, is that there is a bunch of heavily tainted meth out there that is hurting people a lot more and causing a lot of full blown psychotic episodes. [21:03] DaemonFC But in total, there's also more of it on the streets than ever. [21:04] DaemonFC So in effect, Gale Boetticher's line "Consenting adults want what they want. If I wasn't providing it, someone else would be. At least if they're buying my product, they're getting exactly what they paid for, no extra toxins or adulterants." is accurate. [21:04] DaemonFC As are his musings on the government. [21:05] DaemonFC The government is too corrupt and incompetent to handle anything. [21:05] DaemonFC When they say they've passed a regulation, it means grab your ankles because what's coming will be so braindead stupid and corrosive to society that it will be almost beyond belief. [21:05] DaemonFC mjg59_, MinceR ^ [21:05] DaemonFC :) [21:06] DaemonFC Just like Prohibition caused people to drink bathtub swill that caused them to go blind or die from having one cocktail.... [21:07] DaemonFC This is what the government has done in the meth world. They came in and turned hillbilly crank into something a million times worse. [21:07] DaemonFC But it's not gone. Not by a long shot. [21:08] DaemonFC This comes from misidentifying what the root causes of substance abuse are. They have no need to know that because they're not trying to make society better. [21:08] DaemonFC The police and DEA thrive when the drugs are flowing. [21:09] DaemonFC It's an unlimited amount of large cash seizures and then they're pocketing all of this money as people are suffering, which makes the cops no better than anyone else in the meth industry. [21:10] DaemonFC There's plenty of evidence that the DEA and CBP are sitting at the border pretty much letting Mexican methamphetamine into the country unmolested, seizing just enough to make it look like they're trying. [21:11] DaemonFC But they really aren't. [21:11] DaemonFC Because what they're more interested in is finding a lot of the cash going back down. [21:11] DaemonFC Not enough to starve out the cartel, but enough to raise a lot of money for the government. [21:11] DaemonFC It's almost a de facto license to poison and kill Americans as long as the feds take 20% of the cut. [21:12] DaemonFC The cartels are fine with those numbers. [21:12] DaemonFC This has turned into something far worse than cocaine with the CIA in the 80s. [21:13] DaemonFC Most people are too stupid to even know it's going on. [21:13] DaemonFC The "news" frames it, still, as a "war" on drugs, instead of a de facto "tax" [21:13] DaemonFC The tax on drugs.

[21:22] DaemonFC Hopefully, Netflix layoffs reach 100%. [21:22] DaemonFC The whole thing is a bubble on the way down. [21:22] DaemonFC I was particularly disgusted that while Jenna Ortega had COVID-19 and they knew it, they had her do a "dance party" scene and get right up in the face of all of the other actors so they didn't have to halt production for a few days and let her recover. [21:22] DaemonFC Sweatshop for actors? [21:24] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:24] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:24] DaemonFC Netflix on Jenna Ortega's "COVID Dance Scene". [21:24] DaemonFC "Well, we kept letting her stop for a few minutes and pop Tylenol and grab some water between takes. Once the scene was over we tested her for COVID and shut everything down as per protocol." [21:24] DaemonFC (summarizing) [21:24] DaemonFC It takes 15 minutes to test for COVID and she said that she woke up that morning with all the symptoms. [21:24] DaemonFC They told her not to test until after the scene so they wouldn't have to pause production. [21:28] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:28] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:28] DaemonFC Please cancel Netflix if you still have it. [21:28] DaemonFC The picture is pretty clear what's going on in there.

[21:41] DaemonFC And they get in the water because people are on the meds, and then the water gets treated and it's someone else's water, but so many people are on that med that trace amounts end up in your drinking water. [21:41] DaemonFC Including estrogens and antidepressants. [21:41] DaemonFC That's along with all of the microplastics, you know. [21:41] DaemonFC Fun times. [21:41] DaemonFC Pretty much the only point in normalizing "gender transitions" is that there's gold in them there hills. [21:42] DaemonFC Those "treatment centers" make many billions of dollars, and they can charge whatever they want because people with a lot of money will pay it, and increasingly it's being covered by health insurance, causing people who have cancer and shit to pay more into their risk pool to cover some person getting their dick chopped off and some horse estrogen. [21:42] DaemonFC Walmart is the latest company to pull this shit on everyone. [21:44] DaemonFC Then they wonder why people "aren't supportive". Not only are people with a serious issue being mistreated, due to profit incentive, they force people with terminal cancer who can barely get their chemo paid for, to cover this. [21:45] DaemonFC You get letters from Walmart's health insurers saying they're dropping coverage of 50 more meds at the pharmacy this year, and your deductible is going up another $400, and oh look your cost to go to the Emergency Room doubles. [21:45] DaemonFC "We cover gender transition now." [21:45] DaemonFC If you say anything about it, you'll lose your job though. [21:45] DaemonFC So they've basically won, not that they'll ever stop screeching. [21:47] DaemonFC "Here's your bill for surviving COVID-19. Yes it's an outrage. We had to cover 'her' replacement of hormones that were never there to begin with, but that's an aside." [21:48] DaemonFC The cost of "gender transition" was pretty high when Keith did it in the 90s. [21:49] DaemonFC His doctor was putting him on medications that were millions of dollars and fraudulently billing insurance saying he was getting cancer treatments. [21:49] DaemonFC I remember because my Aunt wrote a letter to the insurance company and they stopped paying for it, sent him a bill, and said if he didn't return the money they were going to sue him and contact the prosecutor's office.
