[00:00]	DaemonFC	I have more sympathy for the Chinese migrants.
[00:00]	DaemonFC	They really will be in deep shit if we make them go home.
[00:00]	DaemonFC	Plus, most of them have an education.
[00:00]	DaemonFC	You should aim to bring in people who are better than what you have already.
[00:01]	DaemonFC	10,000 people, tatted up, in line to sign up for welfare and then again to go talk to the judge.
[00:01]	DaemonFC	We don't need more of that.

[00:03]	DaemonFC	A probation officer once said "Did you try signing up for Medicaid?"
[00:03]	DaemonFC	I said, "It's unbelievable."
[00:03]	DaemonFC	She said, "What is?"
[00:04]	DaemonFC	I said, "That the same government that attacked me and stole all my money is telling me to sign up for welfare. Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.:
[00:04]	DaemonFC	MinceR: ^
[00:08]	DaemonFC	Then I took them up on that.
[00:08]	DaemonFC	I figured if I was broke because of them and that made me qualify for Medicaid, to get my money back, that it would be stupid to not do it.

[00:14]	DaemonFC	The law says you only get one discharge every 8 years, so you can file a 13 three years after a 7 which would put the discharge from your 13 right after it's allowable again.

[00:15]	DaemonFC	If your expenses exceed your income, you don't have to pay your creditors anything, an then you get a discharge 5 years later.

[00:15]	DaemonFC	Yes, so people with really low income can file "Chapter 20" and do the discharge twice in an 8 year period and pay their creditors nothing both times.
[00:16]	DaemonFC	The downside is that since they would receive a discharge 5 years in, then they couldn't get another discharge for 13 years.
[00:18]	DaemonFC	So what Robert Crimo Jr. is doing is smart, for him. I mean, it sucks for all the families of the people his son killed.
[00:18]	DaemonFC	But it works for him.
[00:19]	DaemonFC	"What If I Lose My Job or Take a Pay Cut During the Chapter 13 Case?"
[00:19]	DaemonFC	That's a good question.
[00:20]	DaemonFC	Switching to part-time hours may make sense. If it's going to be sent to your payment plan if you work more hours, you might as well work less hours.
[00:20]	DaemonFC	That's why Robert Crimo Jr. is only working part time at minimum wage right now.
[00:20]	DaemonFC	He needs the income to file for a Chapter 13 after the 7.
[00:23]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: So now Google Search just blocks you entirely if you're on Tor.
[00:24]	DaemonFC	> 403. Thats an error.

[00:24]	MinceR	Do Evil, baby!
[00:28]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I'm going to read a victim impact statement in court if they sentence my ex.
[00:28]	DaemonFC	I plan to use part of it to express my disgust with our former prosecutor.
[00:28]	DaemonFC	And the fact that we have too many public officials who don't take domestic violence against men seriously. And refuse to charge it as a major crime.
[00:30]	DaemonFC	Something along the lines of "And thanks to rampant homophobia in the system and the fact that male victims are not taken seriously, there isn't enough that this court can do in this case to make an example, even if it wanted to."
[00:33]	DaemonFC	It's a joke. I mean, if I was a woman and he did the same thing to me, the prosecutor would have detained him and taken him to the grand jury on felonies 5 years ago.
[00:33]	DaemonFC	If I was a woman, the judge handling my restraining order case would not have told me to get out of her courtroom and quit bringing her this shit.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	She dismissed him and then 3 days later, they pressed charges against him.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	Enabling him to go on the run and be a fugitive for five years.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	They don't bungle domestic violence cases against women, deliberately bungle them, like this.
[00:35]	DaemonFC	Since I'm a man, I had to raise holy hell just to get them to issue an arrest warrant on misdemeanor charges.
[00:36]	DaemonFC	If I was a woman, and gotten beaten up with a lamp, closed fist, and had bite marks, then they would have said the attack was horrific and they would have sent him to prison.
[00:36]	DaemonFC	There very much is a double standard when it comes to male victims.
[00:37]	DaemonFC	They don't believe men can be raped at all, and they barely believe men can be the target of domestic violence.
[00:37]	DaemonFC	They expected I would just drop it when they shrugged and told me the prosecutor didn't want him for felonies.
[00:38]	DaemonFC	I went down there and refused to leave the police station until they charged him with SOMETHING.

[00:39]	DaemonFC	Even if all the jail time he does get are these two weeks of sitting there waiting to see if he's detained pending trial, it's more than he would have gotten had I sat on my thumb and allowed the system to protect him though it knew damned well what he did.

[00:53]	DaemonFC	If India can improve, why can't America?
[00:54]	DaemonFC	I think the answer may be "There's more low hanging fruit in India." as it pertains to social problems and inequity.
[00:55]	MinceR	can india improve?
[00:55]	DaemonFC	I mean, if a country can move from stoning rape victims if their hymen was busted during the attack to throwing the men who did it in prison and supporting the victim, that shows a huge leap in societal evolution.
[00:55]	MinceR	i suppose they could get rid of the bjp and modi
[00:55]	DaemonFC	In some cases, the US is backpedaling even on issues like this.
[00:56]	DaemonFC	There was a group of football players in a school bus that took turns raping a teenage girl and all a lot of people wanted to say was how good they were at playing football and boys being boys.
[00:57]	DaemonFC	It's horrific and bloodcurdling to see things like this in America.
[00:57]	DaemonFC	Because it's what you'd expect out of an India or a Pakistan or a Saudi Arabia.

[01:01]	DaemonFC	If you're not on the schedule, yes, you can clock out and leave.
[01:01]	DaemonFC	That's what they get for running the schedule with computers.
[01:01]	DaemonFC	The manager can't punish you over scheduling, it's the computer's job.
[01:01]	DaemonFC	If there's no schedule on the computer that day and the manager clocked you in, then you can leave at any time and can't get an attendance point.
[01:02]	DaemonFC	Might piss the manager off though.
[01:04]	DaemonFC	https://old.reddit.com/r/walmart/comments/191oye8/as_a_cashier_can_you_pay_for_peoples_food_at/
[01:04]	TR Bot	 As a cashier can you pay for people's food at walmart when they can't afford it : walmart
[01:04]	DaemonFC	LOL
[01:04]	DaemonFC	My favorite thing as a cashier was "Just stop when it gets to $300." and it was like $500 worth of stuff. Then they pay on food stamps and leave with $300 of random things that got scanned.
[01:05]	DaemonFC	Usually cookies and ice cream, so not like you had any recipes that got messed up.
[01:06]	DaemonFC	Reading the news:
[01:06]	DaemonFC	"The suspect vehicle had no lights on and did not stop at a stop sign."
[01:06]	DaemonFC	"Police found a gun on the floorboard of the vehicle and a second gun was found in the possession of the second detained suspect, who was hiding in a trash can."
[01:06]	DaemonFC	Yeah, the cops start flipping the dumpster lids open when you've just magically "disappeared".
[01:07]	DaemonFC	And now you get to go to jail smelling like rotting trash!
[01:17]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I think I'm going to order some replacement gaskets for my pressure cooker and just save this one for when I'm cooking collards.
[01:17]	DaemonFC	They left a smell in it I don't like and it's past the "suggested" replacement interval anyway.
[01:25]		*hyperreal4 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[01:27]	DaemonFC	Collards are the best thing to cook. They're cheap and nutritious and they make your house smell like your grandmothers for hours.
[01:28]	DaemonFC	But you'll never get that smell out of the pressure cooker gasket.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	Hmm, a cake button on the newer one.

[01:32]	DaemonFC	MinceR: This guy in the news is only 20 and he's been pulled over three times in the last 23 months for "gun in the car".
[01:32]	DaemonFC	You're doing something wrong when the cops find your gun in the car three times in less than two years.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Maybe he didn't read the FOID Act.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Or the Brady Bill.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Or the National Firearms Act.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Or the Assault Weapons Ban.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Or the felon in possession of a handgun law.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	Or the "you can't have a gun if you've been toking the reefer" law.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	Or the, well, any of the laws.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	Amazing how they pull him over every 7-8 months and find a gun when they don't give him that gun back and he's not allowed to buy or have a gun.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	It's almost like he keeps getting them anyway.
[01:34]		*DaemonFC scratches head
[01:35]	DaemonFC	Also, he's 20.
[01:35]	DaemonFC	And "you can't have a handgun if you're not 21".
[01:35]	DaemonFC	So where's he getting all these guns at when there's like 15 laws that say he can't have one?

[01:59]	DaemonFC	"Three years of Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions left people across China out of work and disillusioned with the ruling Communist Partys increasingly tight grip on all aspects of life under Xi. Now, hope that business would fully rebound once restrictions ended a year ago has vanished, with Chinas once envious economic growth stuttering."
[01:59]	DaemonFC	So they came to another country that has no jobs and an increasingly authoritarian regime?
● Jan 09
[02:00]	DaemonFC	"Others nod to restrictions on personal life in China, where Xi has overseen a sweeping crackdown on free speech, civil society and religion in the country of 1.4 billion."
[02:00]	DaemonFC	Biden wants an entire federal agency within the DHS to force "social media" to delete your posts and place you on watch lists if it does not like your posts.

[02:02]	DaemonFC	> I wish I was never born living feels so exhausting.
[02:02]	DaemonFC	> Zheng Shiqing, migrant from China
[02:03]	DaemonFC	I say that everyday living in America, as a Citizen.
[02:03]	DaemonFC	So good luck filing for some TPS thing.
[02:03]	DaemonFC	I'm surrounded by idiots and assholes.
[02:03]	DaemonFC	Authoritarian leftists and Nazis.
[02:03]	DaemonFC	Precious little in-between.
[02:04]	DaemonFC	There isn't much difference between Hamas Harvey and an actual Nazi.
[02:04]	DaemonFC	They're both authoritarians who want to use State violence to control my life.
[02:05]	DaemonFC	If he had lived during the Warsaw Ghettos he would have been in the Jdische Ghetto-Polizei or at least some sort of informant.
[02:05]	DaemonFC	Because those people will do anything for a cookie from whoever happens to be in charge.
[02:07]	DaemonFC	"UN data shows the number of people from China seeking political asylum in the US and elsewhere around the world has sharply risen during Xis rule climbing from nearly 25,000 in 2013 to more than 120,000 globally in the first six months of 2023."
[02:08]	DaemonFC	That's not surprising. China was hardly a Free country then but it was not a evil or as effective at being evil as it is now.
[02:08]	DaemonFC	And it was easier to "be comfortable, be quiet".
[02:08]	DaemonFC	But so was the United States.
[02:08]		*DaemonFC gives voice to hyperreal4
[02:09]	DaemonFC	The American government is losing control over people because people who aren't even at least being "bought off" anymore have less to lose if they don't stay out of the way.

[02:12]	DaemonFC	First it was marijuana, then it was ketamine, now it's magic mushrooms.
[02:12]	DaemonFC	And Peyote.
[02:13]	DaemonFC	Then you end up with illegal aliens on ketamine ramming your car, being released under the SAFE-T Act, and GEICO saying "We don't know who it was so we won't pay you. Thanks for paying us!"

[02:58]	DaemonFC	[1/8/24 8:19 pm] <MinceR> it's interesting how from every authoritarian person's perspective, it's always the drugs they use that are acceptable, and most others are sinful
[02:59]	DaemonFC	Most people drink coffee. Some people say it's a drug. While technically, caffeine is a drug, it's also not one that makes people hallucinate, break into people's houses looking to steal money for a bag of coffee, or get into horrific car accidents.
[02:59]	DaemonFC	So of course it is more acceptable than alcohol, marijuana, or ketamine.
[02:59]	DaemonFC	:)
● Jan 09
[03:00]	MinceR	well, from the PoV of fideath, marijuana is satanic while ethanol and tobacco are perfectly fine
[03:00]	DaemonFC	No police video has the cop going "Man, I think he's on something. SIR, can you tell me where the coffee is? When is the last time you used coffee? Get out of the car and walk in a straight line. AH HAH! I knew it. Here's the Starbucks! Book him, Phil!"
[03:00]	MinceR	regardless of what actual harm each causes
[03:01]	DaemonFC	Alcohol causes car accidents, alcohol poisoning deaths, cirrhosis of the liver, domestic violence, and other very bad social problems and diseases.
[03:02]	DaemonFC	It's something we tried to prohibit but is so easy to make that there was always more.
[03:02]	DaemonFC	So that didn't last long.
[03:02]	MinceR	in general, prohibiting drugs doesn't seem to be going terribly well
[03:03]	MinceR	it just generates a market for people with more criminal attitudes to exploit and bring violence to
[03:03]	DaemonFC	Yeah, but distilling spirits and brewing beer is so easy some rednecks can do it in the woods with some firewood, a "distiller" which can be rendered from anything, including a water heater, water, sugar, corn. I mean, anything you can ferment.
[03:04]	DaemonFC	Corn and sugar make moonshine.
[03:04]	DaemonFC	People just want to get fucked up, so I mean, they mix it in with fruity drinks or something.
[03:04]	DaemonFC	Cheap and easy to make gallons and gallons of alcohol.
[03:05]	DaemonFC	MinceR: With an initial investment of low hundreds of dollars, I would have everything I needed to make you some hooch and keep it coming.
[03:05]	DaemonFC	After that, it's water. I got water.
[03:06]	DaemonFC	It's corn and sugar.
[03:06]	DaemonFC	Corn and sugar are VERY cheap.
[03:06]	DaemonFC	I can get corn in bulk on the side of the road. If we don't care what kind of corn it is, I could pay a farmer directly, a nickel an ear or even less.
[03:07]	DaemonFC	Sugar? Walmart sells bags of sugar as much as 50 pounds at a time.
[03:07]	DaemonFC	Nobody has watch lists for people who buy a lot of sugar.
[03:07]	MinceR	or you could buy corn from the Lucian Alliance
[03:07]	DaemonFC	Evil Space Corn.
[03:07]	DaemonFC	It's like Evil Coffee, only corn, from space.
[03:08]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I'm sure plenty of moonshiners (we still have them) have the government funding their input costs.
[03:08]	DaemonFC	You can buy corn and sugar on a food stamp card.
[03:08]	DaemonFC	Lots of them say they're broke and living with an Aunt that gets a Social Security check.
[03:10]	DaemonFC	MinceR: If you distill it well enough, you can still cut it with gasoline and run your car with it.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	If you have one of those Flex Fuel cars, you can run it with as much as 85% ethanol in it.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	If you're making your own hooch and distilling it to very high standards, you can run your car, basically for free.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	Put a couple gallons of regular gas in the bottom of the tank and mix it with the hooch.
[03:12]	DaemonFC	Pour the hooch on top of the gasoline down a funnel into the tank.
[03:12]	DaemonFC	You've got yourself a "blender" :)
[03:12]	DaemonFC	Plus the car bouncing up and down on the road will help mix it all together.
[03:13]	DaemonFC	I've seen moonshiners running their car on hooch, modern cars.
[03:13]	DaemonFC	If the car is set up to handle high ethanol blends, you can get away with it.
[03:13]	MinceR	"Brazilian flex cars are capable of running on just hydrated ethanol (E100), or just on a blend of gasoline with 25 to 27% anhydrous ethanol (the mandatory blend), or on any arbitrary combination of both fuels."
[03:13]	DaemonFC	You don't need a lot of gas. If it's a 10 gallon tank you just need a few gallons of gas and the rest can be the hooch.
[03:14]	DaemonFC	*20 gallon
[03:14]	DaemonFC	Is what I mean.
[03:14]	DaemonFC	3 gallons gasoline 17 gallons hooch.
[03:15]	DaemonFC	MinceR: GM didn't like the flex fuel thing. They didn't build cars to handle it until the government started leaning on them hard and by then almost nobody used it.
[03:15]	DaemonFC	Ethanol was going to be "energy independence" and then nobody actually wanted to run the car on it.
[03:15]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I did run a regular 1995 Ford Taurus on E85 for years.
[03:16]	DaemonFC	I just drove it around with the Check Engine light on and didn't care.
[03:16]	DaemonFC	I was buying the stuff for $1.50 a gallon when gas was over $4.
[03:17]	DaemonFC	There was one station in town that sold it and it was really cheap because it was a corn state and the government wasn't taxing the ethanol as a motor fuel.
[03:18]	DaemonFC	The car was a piece of crap that was worth $800-900 at most.
[03:18]	DaemonFC	So I didn't care what happened to it because I would definitely lose money buying gasoline at $4.25 instead of the E85 at $1.50.
[03:18]	DaemonFC	Long before it did any real damage to the car.
[03:19]	DaemonFC	I ended up getting away with this for a few years and only stopped because the 2008 recession got gas prices back down.
[03:19]	DaemonFC	As soon as I put it back on gasoline the Check Engine light eventually turned off.
[03:20]	DaemonFC	In the mean time, even adjusting for fuel range, I saved over $3,000 on fuel for the car.
[03:20]	DaemonFC	Which was triple what the car was worth.
[03:20]	DaemonFC	Then I sold the car for $1,000.
[03:21]	MinceR	09 041607 <@DaemonFC> I just drove it around with the Check Engine light on and didn't care.
[03:21]	DaemonFC	The EPA does not approve E85 to go into a normal non-FFV and you will not pass smog tests with it running on that.
[03:21]	MinceR	lol
[03:21]	DaemonFC	But Indiana doesn't smog test.
[03:21]	DaemonFC	So nobody ever checked to see what I did.
[03:22]	DaemonFC	MinceR: That car was a fucking cockroach.
[03:22]	DaemonFC	I drove it around on E85 for 3 years. I used the cheapest oil and filters.
[03:22]	DaemonFC	I mean, it just ran and ran and stayed running. It looked terrible but it ran fine.

[03:30]	TR Bot	 Bottled water filled with tiny plastic bits that can harm human health, studies say | CNN
[03:30]	DaemonFC	I refuse to buy bottled water on so many reasons.
[03:31]	DaemonFC	A lot of them involve Nestle one of the most repugnant companies on the planet.
[03:31]	DaemonFC	Coke as well. And Pepsi. They have campaigns to rip the drinking fountains out and make customers feel like they're asking for toilet water if they want some out of the tap.
[03:32]	DaemonFC	Bottled water is the most Boomered up thing ever.
[03:33]	DaemonFC	It's gotten so bad trying to find a bottle filling station out there or restaurants that give you water anymore that I started filling multiple 40 ounce insulated bottles out of the Brita system in my fridge if I'm going somewhere for the day.
[03:33]	DaemonFC	Since they stopped offering tap water, a lot of restaurants have started demanding $3 for a Coke.
[03:34]	DaemonFC	They get to double their fountain soda prices because they know you still need something to wash that sandwich down with.
[03:35]	DaemonFC	I've actually started bringing my own coffee into restaurants too. Because restaurant coffee is expensive and it tends to be awful.

[04:42]	DaemonFC	"While customers will not receive new aligners to finish out their treatment course, those who financed their SmileDirectClub plans are expected to continue to make all monthly payments until payment has been made in full per the terms of our SmilePay program, the company said.

[04:43]	DaemonFC	So they're filing bankruptcy and screwing you halfway into your treatment course, while threatening to turn you over to collections if you don't pay THEM?

[04:44]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: I shipped my toothbrush back to Braun.
[04:44]	DaemonFC	They said they would warranty it.
[04:45]	schestowitz	wehrner?
[04:45]	DaemonFC	They do have a good warranty on them at least.
[04:45]	DaemonFC	Oral-B
[04:45]	schestowitz	DaemonFC: any article in the pipeline?
[04:45]	schestowitz	i lack only time
[04:45]	DaemonFC	They have a 2 year guarantee that the thing will be free of manufacturing defects and will continue to hold at least 90% of its original charging capacity.
[04:45]	schestowitz	not topics at the moment
[04:45]	schestowitz	i can give you ideas
[04:45]	DaemonFC	So mine was more like 30%?
[04:46]	DaemonFC	After 15 months.
[04:46]	DaemonFC	It costs less to honor the warranty than piss off the customer and have them stop buying replacement heads I guesss.
[04:47]	DaemonFC	The heads for this thing go on sale around the Christmas shopping seasson.
[04:47]	DaemonFC	They take them down to half off.
[04:47]	DaemonFC	So just buy all you'll need for a while.
[04:47]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Tempted to do one about Harvey, not mentioning him. Scrubbing the name off the posts.
[04:48]	DaemonFC	But that's political.
[04:48]	DaemonFC	It slays me that they vote to defund the police and then when there's drug deals going on all day right in front of their home, they think increasing HOA fees to hire a security guard to politely ask them to leave is the solution.
[04:49]	DaemonFC	Then they blame Boomers, who actually make more sense than Harvey does somehow.
[04:49]	DaemonFC	For not wanting to raise the HOA fee $100 a unit per month to hire the security guy, who isn't even armed, to ask the drug dealers, politely, to leave.
[04:50]	DaemonFC	What fucked up world are they living in where you get a drug dealer to leave by asking him and you can't even shoot him if he goes to pull a gun or a knife on you for asking?
[04:50]	DaemonFC	They must be one of his customers!
[04:50]	DaemonFC	:)
[04:52]	DaemonFC	Then these nitwits seem to be having a bathroom orgy of "Don't use Brave! Eich is a Nazi!" which is always a good and productive use of time.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	It's a form of self-soothing while they know Firefox is dying, I guess.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	I wonder if it would help if they knew how many gay people and trannies worked at Brave.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	It's quite a few, actually.
[04:54]	DaemonFC	But because Eich gave $1,000 to a thing 16 years ago, he must certainly suffer forever. I mean, even though he lost, and even though he may have changed his mind. Nobody asked him.
[04:54]	DaemonFC	But he's not suffering.
[04:55]	DaemonFC	He's running a company that makes money and he's pulling in a salary as a CEO of a company that makes a better, and Freer, browser than Firefox.
[04:55]	DaemonFC	So they REALLY hate him for doing better there than he was at Mozilla.
[04:55]	DaemonFC	Because they were dancing on his grave and then he came back and got a bunch of Firefox users and now Firefox has no users to speak of.
[04:55]	DaemonFC	This is how evil and corrupt the liberal filth is.
[04:56]	DaemonFC	What a reprobate mind they all have.
[04:56]	DaemonFC	There's no evidence that Eich is a particularly bad guy. There's certainly a hell of a lot worse running around Silly Valley.
[04:58]	DaemonFC	The scum managed to hijack the SPLC and use it as part of their Vendetta.
[04:58]	DaemonFC	Brave is EVIL PRIVACY SOFTWARE (it's got Tor in it). Only Nazis use PRIVACY SOFTWARE. You wouldn't want your children to be NAZIS would you?
[04:58]	DaemonFC	QED

[07:20]	DaemonFC	When you deal with 87% of the public admitting to a pollster like Gallup that they don't want them in the bathrooms with their kids and they don't want them on the other gender's sports team, I mean, that's 87% who don't like them and will tell a stranger who asked them for a poll.
[07:20]	DaemonFC	I mean, people tell pollsters what they feel is "socially acceptable".
[07:21]	DaemonFC	You ask people "Are you a Christian?" You'll have 77% or something say yes.
[07:21]	DaemonFC	Okay, "How often do you attend church?"
[07:21]	DaemonFC	30% are there at least once a month and 14% every week.
[07:21]	DaemonFC	They're obviously more afraid to admit they're not a Christian than to say they don't attend church.
[07:22]	DaemonFC	So again, if you have 87% say they don't like trannies, then that's where we are.
[07:22]	DaemonFC	It is overwhelmingly acceptable, in this society, not to.

[07:23]	DaemonFC	And when they were asking "Is being gay morally acceptable?" and 86% said "No it isn't.", that was 1996.
[07:24]	DaemonFC	We're talking almost 30 years before they reach 70% yes from 87% no, the trannies, if they even did as well as gay people.
[07:24]	DaemonFC	You basically have to wait for entire generations who don't like you much to get old and die.
[07:24]	DaemonFC	So it's a problem that most of them around today need to get used to dealing with as long as they'll live.
[07:25]	DaemonFC	When I was 18 and people absolutely despised gay men, I realized I'd be dealing with these problems, if I was lucky, until I was in my 40s or 50s. 
[07:26]	DaemonFC	If I was unlucky then we would make no progress at all and the generation I went to school with that said "That's gay!" about everything they didn't like, would not come around at all.
[07:26]	DaemonFC	And then there would have been no acceptance in my own generation either.
[07:27]	DaemonFC	And my dad came up to me, and he said a lot of really terrible things. One thing he said was almost every gay man gets AIDS at some point.
[07:27]	DaemonFC	He said I'd get AIDS and die.
[07:27]	DaemonFC	Looked at me and said that.
[07:28]	DaemonFC	It's a lot of gay men who get HIV, it seldom becomes AIDS, but it is by no means impossible or even difficult to prevent, and nowhere near "almost all".
[07:28]	DaemonFC	That's the problem when you're dealing with homophobic parents. They'll just lie and make shit up hoping to scare you into "choosing not to be gay".
[07:29]	DaemonFC	So, Lobster is no better than my dad. He's worse than my dad.
[07:29]	DaemonFC	He wasn't even around to lie to his children.
[07:30]	DaemonFC	It is truly only the criminals and idiots who are reproducing.
[07:30]	DaemonFC	Have we nobody else left?
[07:31]	Righty	>It is truly only the criminals and idiots who are reproducing. Yes, that's how it works.
[07:34]	DaemonFC	Righty: It's interesting because I noticed that (for now anyway) sometimes you get two absolute retards that have a child and then that child ends up being so much smarter. Even one of the more intelligent people that you know.
[07:34]	DaemonFC	You almost wonder how that is even possible.
[07:35]	DaemonFC	Got shit genes from both parents, overcame it all.
[07:35]	Righty	It's easily possible as intelligence is determined by both genes and also conditions.
[07:36]	DaemonFC	So you can get something better even from absolutely horrific input, obviously.
[07:36]	DaemonFC	I guess I don't know the full dynamics of this.
[07:37]	Righty	Certain mutations causing a fault in gene expression may not pass on to children.
[07:37]	DaemonFC	The first person I ever dated had two parents that barely even knew what planet they were on.
[07:37]	DaemonFC	His mother was a cat lady with severe mania. And she was a chainsmoker.
[07:38]	DaemonFC	His dad was a former truck driver who had beaten his wife until he had a few strokes and then all he could do all day was watch Fox News and cuss at the catss.
[07:38]	DaemonFC	*cats
[07:38]	Righty	Females have some resistance to certain genetic conditions as they have 2 copies of the X chromosome and a defect in expression in one pair may sometimes result in the expression in the other pair activating, therefore mitigating such conditions.
[07:38]	DaemonFC	In 2002, he told me the entire family lived in 2001 on $11,500 total.
[07:39]	Righty	Also, even for males, the mother may have a faulty X with a "good" X and the "good" X can be passed to the child.
[07:40]	DaemonFC	So it's corrupted data that self-repairs sometimes.
[07:41]	Righty	Humans ability to self-repair genetic mutations isn't great - DNA repair is mostly about correcting mistakes during transcription.
[07:41]	DaemonFC	Right, so the host organism itself is screwed, but their children may fare better.
[07:43]	Righty	That depends on the exact mutations and which copies of chromosomes are passed to children.
[07:43]	DaemonFC	It would make more sense that the body doesn't have as many mechanisms to self-repair and places more emphasis on not corrupting the future of the gene pool.
[07:43]	DaemonFC	I mean, the individual lives maybe 70-80 years usually, often, even now.
[07:44]	Righty	Even hundreds of years ago, 70-80 years of life wasn't that surprising if one got past childhood without dying.
[07:44]	DaemonFC	The body has better self-repair mechanisms in injuries that pose a more immediate threat to, just basic survival.
[07:44]	DaemonFC	Burns and cuts healing, that sort of thing.
[07:45]	DaemonFC	Fighting off pathogens.

[10:00]	schestowitz	"The year after the WHO meeting, after what a Gates representative described as a lot of negotiation, GSK licensed the vaccine to Gates MRI, a nonprofit created by the Gates Foundation to develop drugs and vaccines for global health issues that for-profit companies wont tackle.
[10:00]	schestowitz	GSK told ProPublica that it did not receive upfront fees or royalties as part of the arrangement, but that Gates MRI paid it a small incentive to invest in the companys global health endeavors. GSK and Gates MRI declined to comment on the amount.
[10:00]	schestowitz	Gates MRI tax documents show a payment designated as royalties, license fees, and similar amounts that allow the organization to use intellectual property such as patents and copyrights the year the agreement was finalized. Among available tax documents, that is the only year the organization has made a payment in that category.
[10:00]	schestowitz	The amount: $10 million."
[10:00]	schestowitz	"In June of this year, the Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust announced they were pledging $550 million to fund the phase 3 trial that will finally show whether the vaccine works. Theyve selected trial locations and are currently testing it on a smaller subset of patients, those with HIV.
[10:00]	schestowitz	"
[10:00]	schestowitz	"Gates MRI and GSK declined to say who had the rights to sell the vaccine in which countries, but Gates MRI said it will work with partners to ensure the vaccine is accessible for people living in high TB-burden lower- and middle-income countries, and GSK acknowledged that its rights extend to South America and Eastern Europe, two regions with significant pockets of TB.
[10:00]	schestowitz	As expected, Gates MRI will be reliant on GSK to supply the adjuvant, which concerns vaccine hopefuls because of the lack of transparency surrounding its availability. One of the key ingredients, the bark extract, comes from a tree whose harvest and export has been controlled by the Chilean government since the 1970s because of overexploitation. A megadrought and forest fires continue to threaten native forests today. The main exporter
[10:00]	schestowitz	 of the bark says it has resolved previous bottlenecks, and GSK said it is working on a synthetic version as part of its long-term plan."
[10:01]	schestowitz	"The company and Gates MRI said their agreement includes enough adjuvant for research and the initial supply of the TB vaccine, if it is approved. The organizations declined, however, to specify how many people could be vaccinated. GSK also said it was willing to supply more adjuvant after that, but further negotiations would be necessary and Gates MRI would likely need to pay to increase adjuvant manufacturing capacity. For its part, 
[10:01]	schestowitz	Gates MRI said it is evaluating several strategies to ensure longer term supply.
[10:01]	schestowitz	Several experts said that Gates MRI should test other adjuvants with the vaccines antigen. That includes Farrar, who said it would be very wise to start looking for a new adjuvant. He is one of the few people who has seen the agreement between Gates MRI and GSK as a result of his previous role as director of the Wellcome Trust. Farrar is now helping to lead a new TB Vaccine Accelerator Council at the WHO and said he believes o
[10:01]	schestowitz	ne of the groups roles would be to find solutions to any future problems with the adjuvant.
[10:01]	schestowitz	Gates MRI declined to answer when asked if it was considering testing other adjuvants with the vaccines antigen. GSK, along with several other scientists and regulators that ProPublica spoke with, expressed that using a new adjuvant would require redoing all of the long and expensive clinical trials."
[10:01]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: An AIDS vaccine wouldn't be profitable.
[10:01]	schestowitz	as propublica takes bribes from them
[10:01]	DaemonFC	They can make millions of dollars per patient treating it, with the threat that if they stop paying, they die.

[14:03]	schestowitz	The technology, which the agency has used since at least 2008, relies on a covert channel of radio waves that can be transmitted from tiny circuit boards and USB cards inserted surreptitiously into the computers. In some cases, they are sent to a briefcase-size relay station that intelligence agencies can set up miles away from the target.
[14:03]	schestowitz	The radio frequency technology has helped solve one of the biggest problems facing American intelligence agencies for years: getting into computers that adversaries, and some American partners, have tried to make impervious to spying or cyberattack. In most cases, the radio frequency hardware must be physically inserted by a spy, a manufacturer or an unwitting user.'

[14:11]	TR News	Welcome, 2024. Your "MODERN" trains will NOT work. "TOO COLD, MATE!" https://eng.lsm.lv/article/economy/transport/09.01.2024-several-trains-canceled-tuesday-in-latvia.a538160/
[14:11]	TR Bot	 Several trains canceled Tuesday in Latvia / Article
[14:12]	TR News	PRE_privatisation, BEFORE becoming "smart" and all (dumb design), Finnish trains worked fine in very hot and cold condition. Newer is better... at failing.
[14:12]	Sompi	Yes
[14:12]	Sompi	Also many trains were canceled due to electricity shortage
[14:13]	TR News	"OUR NEW AND VERY VERY SPLENDID TRAIN CAN OFFER WIFI AND SHIT... BUT IT WON'T WORK WHEN IT IS COLD... AT ALL!"
[14:14]	Sompi	Less than 20 years ago VR used to have old steam and diesel locomotives in reserves. They were kept in 100% working conditions and most of them had had a complete overhaul with new parts
[14:14]	Sompi	But they scrapped those reserve locomotives just recently
[14:14]	Sompi	They were meant for situations like this, when there is not enough electricity
[14:14]	TR News	Modern "landlines" aren't landlines and, unlike real landlines on copper, they WILL NOT work if: 1) you have no Internet connection. 2) no electricity. 3) both. What a marvellous design miracle. We hope they do the same in Russia warplanes' cockpits.
[14:15]	Sompi	I think they were also scrapped because the new train types were not compatible with them
[14:15]	schestowitz	cot-cutting
[14:15]	schestowitz	*cost
[14:15]	schestowitz	"we didn't use them last year"
[14:15]	schestowitz	"it cut into our profits"
[14:16]	Sompi	Those old express trains with so-called "blue carriages" were compatible with all locomotive types. They even had steam pipelines for heating, if they ever were pulled with a steam locomotive again
[14:16]	Sompi	But those express trains were scrapped two years ago
[14:17]	Sompi	AFAIK the new train types - Intercity, Intercity II and Pendolino - are only compatible with certain locomotive types and when those locomotives don't work, then the train cannot be driven

[14:20]	Sompi	The train transport was considered a basic functionality of the society and we used to be prepared for everything so that the trains would always work reliably

[14:23]	Sompi	My comment there: "I think the problem with modern politics in the western countries, what makes thinking ahead impossible, is that the politics are made "one lie at a time", meaning that whenever a politician is interviewed by a journalist, all they do is that they just come up with a lie that they think will appeal to an average voter who probably has an IQ of less than 100. And they keep inventing new
[14:23]	Sompi	 lies, because it works and always carries them to the next interview and to the next election. These lies don't need to be logical, and they can even contradict the previous lies, because the average voter is stupid and has a bad memory."

[21:25]	DaemonFC	> Investigation
[21:25]	DaemonFC	> Representative Dan Burton, then the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, once publicly questioned the use of White House staff, postage, and stationery to answer mail addressed to the cat.[14]
[21:26]	DaemonFC	---
[21:27]	DaemonFC	I used to call him Watermelon Dan because he shot a watermelon to "prove" that Vince Foster didn't commit suicide. I called him Watermelon Dan on the local talk radio (WOWO) on the AM band.
[21:27]	DaemonFC	And when I called his congressional office, I called him Watermelon Dan.
[21:28]	DaemonFC	And then I addressed constituent mail to Congressman "Watermelon" Dan Burton.
[21:28]	DaemonFC	MinceR: ^
[21:29]	DaemonFC	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Burton
[21:29]	TR Bot	 Dan Burton - Wikipedia
[21:30]	DaemonFC	> Vince Foster murder claims
[21:30]	DaemonFC	> Burton led the House inquiry into the 1993 death of Vince Foster, the deputy White House counsel to President Bill Clinton who committed suicide, but who Burton believed was murdered. He urged extensive investigation into the possible involvement of the Clintons and gained attention for re-enacting the alleged crime in his backyard with his own pistol and a cantaloupe[39] standing in for Foster's head. In 1998, Burton said of Clinton, "If I could 
[21:30]	DaemonFC	prove 10 percent of what I believe happened [regarding the death of Foster], he'd be gone. This guy's a scumbag. That's why I'm after him."[9]
[21:30]	DaemonFC	> After hearings into Democratic fundraising (see section below) began, a Democratic National Committee staffer appeared in a pumpkin suit with a button that read, "Don't shoot".[40] Burton's information during the Whitewater controversy was based on research conducted by Floyd Brown, who founded Citizens United in 1988. Due to problems with the quality of Brown's research and testimony, the investigation was closed.[41]
[21:30]	DaemonFC	He also shot at a watermelon.

[21:31]	DaemonFC	Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia had an ad where he took and AR-15 and shot at a printed copy of the Brady Bill.
[21:31]	DaemonFC	I thought that was good.
[21:32]	MinceR	yeah, berating/punishing inanimate objects is big in the USA
[21:32]	MinceR	holding weapons responsible for acts committed with them
[21:32]	MinceR	yelling at an empty chair
[21:33]	MinceR	shooting a printed copy of a bill
[21:33]	MinceR	stupid things like that
[21:33]	DaemonFC	Why do we have so much gun crime? Well, we had a Democrat judge in the next county over that gave a known gang member with four firearms felonies probation instead of sending him to prison after he got caught in a bar with a gun he was not supposed to have.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	The judge ordered him not to possess guns or go back to that bar.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	So the guy probably got himself a new gun that evening and went back to that bar just because the judge isn't going to tell him what to do.
[21:34]	DaemonFC	And then people wonder what makes criminals tick and why they have so many chances to escalate so quickly.
[21:34]	MinceR	lol
[21:35]	DaemonFC	The law under Democrats is a big fat fucking joke.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	The judges believe in the same sort of "reverse racism" as the people writing the laws.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	It's Red Hat/IBM the State.
[21:36]	DaemonFC	Where they figure "Whites have had it so good for so long that it's time to punish the White man with a parking ticket a million times worse than the Hispanic 'Maniac Latin Disciples' member with the gang tattoos and colors and a machine pistol."
[21:36]	DaemonFC	So that's how the laws are written and what the judges do.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	They have all these gun felonies on the books, and they all have life in prison or something and they hit the "Maniac Latin Disciples" guy who is all tatted up and wearing the colors and flashing the signs with 10 counts, and then they give him a year's probation and he still has absolutely no intent to comply, so he doesn't even go register with probation and when they catch him he gives the Democrat judge the finger and says "Fuck yo momma!" and the 
[21:39]	DaemonFC	judge doesn't even hold him in contempt because "minority" and then extends the probation, and you can see where this is going.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	By the time they do anything involving a State prison it's because he's shot 7 people in a drive-by.
[21:40]	DaemonFC	That's where this is going because the judge, who does not believe in guns, ever, because guns are never the solution, is hiding behind 5 armed deputies guarding him in court and lives in a gated sub-community with 11 foot barbed wire fences and guards carrying Glocks.
[21:41]	DaemonFC	The fucking goddamned judge is the only person in the county who actually is safe from what he unleashes. Him and the other six figure income crowd that lives back there with him.
[21:43]	DaemonFC	They don't care because they don't have to live with what they loose upon us.
[21:43]	DaemonFC	Let's take away their armed deputies and private security companies and see if the big man has a big mouth on him.
[21:43]	DaemonFC	No?
[21:47]	DaemonFC	More DDoS attacks on the Farms. They make a lot of people very angry because they expose a lot of pedophiles.
[21:48]	DaemonFC	They exposed a 21 year old man in Arizona recently who even said he had no idea why he hadn't been arrested for molesting yet and that he "hopes it happens soon".
[21:48]	MinceR	i'm sure there can be absolutely no other reason for people being angry with kiwifarms
[21:48]	DaemonFC	And then compared himself to an oppressed gay man "50 years ago".
[21:48]	DaemonFC	This is usually where pedos go.
[21:49]	DaemonFC	They like to claim they're an oppressed sexual minority, and that it's everyone else's fault that they're a sick fucking shitstain.
[21:49]	DaemonFC	[1/9/24 3:48 pm] <MinceR> i'm sure there can be absolutely no other reason for people being angry with kiwifarms
[21:49]	DaemonFC	Almost everyone they bother to do an article on is either a criminal or should be because they're so disgusting and sick.
[21:49]	DaemonFC	I'd say 80 or 90%.
[21:50]	MinceR	if we take this estimation as basis, that means that there's definitely a different reason for the remaining 10 to 20% to be angry at kiwifarms, right?
[21:51]	DaemonFC	The remaining 10-20% is usually mad that they've been embarrassed over something perverted or stupid that doesn't rise to the level of a felony.
[21:51]	MinceR	it's also curious that fascists are so eager to paint everyone they dislike as "pedophiles" while being somewhat allied with the largest pedophile-protecting organization on the planet (which calls itself "the roman catholic church")
[21:51]	MinceR	ah, so the people who shitpost on kiwifarms can never be wrong
[21:51]	MinceR	finally we've found infallible people.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	Well, the Catholics assisted the Holocaust.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	So to give them credit, it's a tough act to follow.
[21:52]	MinceR	so that's what one has to do in order to make being a pedophile OK!
[21:52]	MinceR	maybe the people kiwifarms targets should do something similar.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	Not "okay" but they didn't get in any trouble over assisting the Holocaust.
[21:52]	MinceR	damn, i'm tired of this species.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	And if you get a free pass on that, you can do anything.
[21:53]	MinceR	maybe they could try to do it properly this time and wipe out Homo sapiens sapiens.
[21:53]	DaemonFC	What about the Homo Simpleton Simpleton?
[21:53]	DaemonFC	Seems to be 99% of the species anyway.
[21:54]	DaemonFC	I was thinking about the bug in the Edgar Suit in Men in Black earlier.
[21:54]	DaemonFC	"I see a bunch of unevolved barely conscious pond scum scurrying about their day." or something like that.
[21:54]	DaemonFC	Don't you want rid of them?
[21:54]	DaemonFC	"Oh, in the worst way."
[21:54]	DaemonFC	:)
[21:55]	MinceR	it's what the simpletons call themselves
[21:56]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I have repeated Stanley Tweedle a few times from that scene in Lexx.

[22:11]	DaemonFC	https://lookaftermybills.com/energy/how-much-does-it-cost-to-run-a-kettle/
[22:11]	TR Bot	 How much does it cost to run a kettle?
[22:11]	DaemonFC	Re-boiling halfway in makes sense if you're using the water for coffee.
[22:11]	DaemonFC	Coffee needs a higher temperature to brew than tea does.
[22:12]	DaemonFC	Coffee brews well in the 196-206 F range. If you fall below 196 you may not like the coffee as much, so if you're making a very large pot of pour over coffee, reboiling makes sense about halfway in to get that temperature back up closer to the boiling point when you start pouring again.
[22:13]	DaemonFC	Tea, on the other hand, is a lot more forgiving because it steeps quickly and needs a much lower temperature of between 150 and 180, depending on the tea.
[22:13]	DaemonFC	Bad things happen to coffee when it's brewed outside of that 10 degree range.
[22:14]	DaemonFC	As far as energy costs go, the electric kettle is about 40% more energy efficient than using a kettle on an electric stove.
[22:15]	DaemonFC	If the only thing you have in the house running on gas is the stove, it makes sense to cap it off and get rid of the stove, turn off the gas so you're not paying for it, and buying some induction cooktops and a very large convection oven.
[22:16]	DaemonFC	Because you'll pay that $26 a month to keep the gas turned on, and then you'll use like $4 worth of gas each month cooking.
[22:16]	DaemonFC	There's reasons besides indoor air quality or not liking natural gas to quit using it to cook with.
[22:17]	DaemonFC	In mom's case, the landlord demanded that she pay gas, but the stove was the only thing using gas. So she took my advice and just had the landlord remove the stove and cap the pipe, and now she doesn't have a gas bill. The base bill over there is over $40 a month!
[22:18]	DaemonFC	That's almost like having a second electric bill just in case you decide to use the oven.
[22:19]	DaemonFC	Then of course, if your gas is turned on and the pipe's not capped, you run the risk of a gas leak and your home exploding, or asphyxiation.
[22:20]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Naturally, the Republicans are panicking about this gas oven ban going on in blue states.
[22:20]	DaemonFC	I don't know why.
[22:20]	DaemonFC	Less demand for gas means we either sell more abroad or sell it to red states cheaper because the supply goes up.
[22:20]	DaemonFC	That's what always happens when the Dumbocrats ban something. Like coal.
[22:21]	DaemonFC	My state still mines coal that we can't burn anywhere in the country due to the EPA.
[22:21]	DaemonFC	So we put it on a boat and send it to India, China, and the UK and Germany.
[22:21]	DaemonFC	And it gets burned there instead.
[22:21]	DaemonFC	Well, what about all that nasty shit? It just comes out of someone else's smoke stack.
[22:22]	DaemonFC	You know, burning coal in China totally means that "GLOBAL" warming isn't going to affect us at all.
[22:22]	DaemonFC	The Employment Prevention Agency strikes again.
[22:22]	MinceR	it's because they expect that making a panic about this can yield votes for them in those blue states
[22:23]	DaemonFC	Those votes wouldn't translate into any significant shift in party control.
[22:23]	MinceR	but yeah, they should try nuclear fission and fusion in red china, instead of burning coal
[22:23]	MinceR	by bombing places like beijing with thermonuclear ICBMs
[22:23]	DaemonFC	The Democrats have gerrymandered it so that less than 5% of state legislative districts could go either way.
[22:23]	DaemonFC	The majority go to them no matter how many people vote otherwise.
[22:23]	MinceR	it just might reduce global emissions on the long term
[22:24]	DaemonFC	The Democrats don't get supermajorities by being popular for spending $3 billion a year on illegals from Venezuela.
[22:24]	DaemonFC	And proposing that everything will settle down when they get work permits and drive your wages down and run you out of your own job.
[22:24]	DaemonFC	They get it by cheating.
[22:24]	DaemonFC	Gerrymandering and stuffing the ballot box.
[22:25]	MinceR	is that why they won the popular vote every time for a long time?
[22:25]	DaemonFC	You really think they get 77 seats in the state house by parading illegals and pregnant men around?
[22:25]	DaemonFC	I mean in my state.
[22:26]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I'm going to start referring to the Democrats as the "Black and Trans Party".
[22:26]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:26]	DaemonFC	After reading that "Black and Trans" person bitching and demanding reparations last night.
[22:26]	DaemonFC	You know, like the Black and Tans, only "Black and Trans".
[22:26]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:27]	DaemonFC	The Brits didn't know what to do with tens of thousands of unemployable human garbage, so they put them in uniform and sent them over to Ireland to make their lives miserable.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	And called them the Black and Tans.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	Then dumped them on Canada to get rid of them when they disbanded it and the men became unemployable again.
[22:29]	DaemonFC	Basically, all I see are more people who think the world owes them something because they're here.
[22:29]	DaemonFC	That's all this is.

[22:33]	DaemonFC	Like that effeminate young man in Wisconsin did after he didn't buy GAP insurance and then wrapped his expensive new car around a tree and then demanded that the Internet should buy him a new car through a GoFundMe, because he has a nice ass, and exposes himself on OnlyFans.
[22:33]	DaemonFC	That's literally his only job skill.
[22:33]	DaemonFC	I fucking his boyfriend and selling videos.

[22:42]	DaemonFC	Well, Lobster was following that first part.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	Be fruity and multiply.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	It would be nice if he was paying his support.

[23:07]	DaemonFC	Meanwhile, in Beijing, the smog rolls in, another 400 dead today.
[23:07]	DaemonFC	Air quality? Perfect, according to the Communists.

[23:10]	MinceR	classic communist success propaganda
[23:10]	MinceR	just like in orbanistan
[23:12]	MinceR	it's fucking tiresome
[23:15]	MinceR	it makes me wonder how long can the communists keep saying "we're doing such a FUCKING AWESOME job!" while obviously failing at everything hard until the masses of idiots start realizing that maybe they weren't telling the truth all this time

[23:27]	DaemonFC	> Death Star
[23:28]	DaemonFC	> In November 2012, a petition was created urging the government to create a Death Star as an economic stimulus and job creation measure gained more than 25,000 signatures, enough to qualify for an official response. The official (tongue-in-cheek) response released in January 2013[16] noted that the cost of building a real Death Star has been estimated at $852 quadrillion and at current rates of steel production, would not be ready for more than 833,000 
[23:28]	DaemonFC	years.[17] The response also noted that "the Administration does not support blowing up planets" and questions funding a weapon "with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship" as reasons for denying the petition.[16][18][19]
[23:28]	DaemonFC	---
[23:28]	MinceR	did the program even include developing hyperdrive technology?
[23:29]	DaemonFC	They should have done it then. It would cost about $1.4 Quintillion dollars now.
[23:29]	DaemonFC	They could have had a bargain, especially at a Fed Funds Rate of 0.25%.
[23:30]	DaemonFC	MinceR: The hyperdrive technology would be supplied by Elon Musk's Boring Company.
[23:30]	DaemonFC	Which would fail to produce anything even after the government gave him 500% of the GDP of America for the next 900,000 years.
[23:31]	DaemonFC	Despite this, many Red Hat employees would insist it was the future of travel.
[23:32]	MinceR	lol
