[00:14] IsambardPrince Voluntary compliance fell below 50% ever since Congress let you get a Pell Grant for college even without registering. [00:16] MinceR i don't know what most of this means [00:17] IsambardPrince MinceR: Selective Service is dormant but it can be activated and it's the agency that would impose a military draft. [00:17] MinceR ic [00:17] MinceR they're getting ready to start stuffing citizens into the meat grinder? [00:19] IsambardPrince They won't get me. They raised the military age cutoff to 42. [00:19] IsambardPrince So they have about a day left. [00:20] MinceR :> [00:20] IsambardPrince MinceR: They also said if you're a convicted drug felon, that's fine. [00:20] IsambardPrince So 42 year old convicted drug criminals are what they're looking for. [00:20] IsambardPrince People who won't be missed if they don't come back. [00:20] IsambardPrince They're learning from Russia. [00:20] MinceR :> [00:20] MinceR they've been doing that for some time now [00:21] IsambardPrince MinceR: The money is losing its value so fast that they're even offering huge sign up bonuses for things like ICE, then the people join for the sign up bonus and complain they never got it. [00:21] MinceR :> [00:21] IsambardPrince It turns out that you don't get the $60,000 for 6 years. And if you don't stay with ICE for 6 years you don't get anything. [00:21] MinceR lol [00:22] MinceR sucker's deal [00:22] IsambardPrince In 6 years, that $60,000 is only going to be worth about $30,000. [00:22] IsambardPrince So you get it eventually in hyperinflated dollars that don't buy much, assuming they ever pay it at all. [00:22] IsambardPrince 6 years is long enough for Trump to be gone and another Congress to change the law and say it doesn't get paid. [00:23] IsambardPrince Jannie Jannie, don't you see, you do it for FREE. [00:24] MinceR they do it for the enjoyment of the job [00:24] MinceR shooting brown people and the like [00:24] IsambardPrince MinceR: After a five month job search I found a potential opening. [00:24] IsambardPrince It pays $1 above the minimum wage. [00:25] IsambardPrince And it's a temp agency that says "You might get hired permanently if they are satisfied with your performance." [00:25] IsambardPrince To get this one response, I put in 1,284 applications. [00:25] IsambardPrince Got two interviews at the same place, and had to talk to 8 chatbots. [00:25] MinceR lol [00:26] MinceR is that $1 per hour, per week, per month, per year or what? [00:28] IsambardPrince $1 an hour over the minimum wage. [00:28] MinceR ic [00:28] IsambardPrince Most jobs pay at least $1 an hour over the minimum wage. [00:29] IsambardPrince That way when Republicans fight minimum wage increases they say "Only 1.7% of jobs pay minimum wage." [00:29] MinceR and they aren't even republicans [00:29] IsambardPrince They try to make it sound like almost nobody makes minimum wage. [00:29] IsambardPrince That way they can make it sound like 98% must be doing a lot better anyway, so why raise it? [00:29] IsambardPrince But they're only making $40 a week above minimum wage. [00:30] MinceR no, they try to make it sound like almost everyone makes significantly more than minimum wage [00:30] IsambardPrince Then the government taxes it. [00:30] MinceR it's like prices that end in 9-s [00:30] IsambardPrince You can barely find anyone who is willing to work for $16 an hour. [00:30] MinceR the difference you think you see exists, it just isn't significant [00:30] IsambardPrince Because it won't even get you qualified for an apartment. [00:31] IsambardPrince Then you have to do something to get to work, which means own a car, get insurance, fill it with gas that Trump doubled the cost of in only a month. [00:32] IsambardPrince MinceR: Trump is so off the walls crazy that the Cato Institute is sounding rational. [00:34] MinceR lol [00:34] IsambardPrince https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trumps-billion-dollar-bitcoin-blowout-exposed/ [00:34] TR Bot Donald Trumps Billion-Dollar Bitcoin Blowout Exposed [00:35] IsambardPrince Trump Media and Technology Holdings lost $1 billion on Bitcoin in the past year. [00:36] IsambardPrince MinceR: I saved my mother $125 a month on her car insurance. [00:36] IsambardPrince I was asking her where she even found some of these insurance companies. [00:36] IsambardPrince The last one she was doing "annual contracts" with slipped in a clause requiring 30 days notice. [00:37] MinceR annular contracts [00:37] IsambardPrince So she told them she was canceling the policy at the end of the policy term, and they said "Oh, you'll still pay us anyway. You won't have insurance but you'll pay us anyway." [00:37] IsambardPrince She was like "Alrighty then." [00:37] IsambardPrince And she put them in her bankruptcy that she filed the next day. [00:38] IsambardPrince She said that one was called "Westfield Insurance Group". [00:38] IsambardPrince She keeps buying car insurance that's worth more than the fucking car is. [00:38] IsambardPrince From all these outfits I've never heard of. [00:38] IsambardPrince That always seem to charge her double the going rate at the national companies. [00:39] IsambardPrince If you pay those rates for 5 years, you've basically paid for the car's value all over again. [00:39] IsambardPrince And you didn't even get another car. [00:44] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3]: https://i.redd.it/omiiy8ea41ug1.jpeg [00:44] IsambardPrince McDonald's "customer service" [00:44] MinceR lol [00:44] IsambardPrince No option to even go to the register or use cash now at some stores. [00:45] MinceR i like to find a nice seat and order & pay from my phone and get table service [00:54] IsambardPrince MinceR: WGN asked what our thoughts on tipping was. [00:55] IsambardPrince On the last line I put: "Bars that put "40%" on the left of the tablet hoping I'll be too drunk to notice....nice try. You can't get me that drunk." [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] MinceR :> [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@2001:8a0:e95a:4e00::1c47) has joined #techrights [00:57] MinceR https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2006-10-23 [00:57] TR Bot Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - 2006-10-23 [00:58] IsambardPrince The UK got rid of automatic birthright citizenship in he 1980s I think. [00:58] IsambardPrince The status you get at birth depends on whatever status your parents had when you were born. [00:59] IsambardPrince Trump's executive order attempting to "explain" the Fourteenth Amendment would still be more permissive than the UK. [00:59] IsambardPrince Because if one of your parents is here illegally and the other has a Green Card, you would still be a citizen, not illegally present, and not a Green Card holder. ● Apr 09 [01:01] MinceR well, there's a reason for the 14th amendment, but i guess it's past now [01:01] IsambardPrince I see what he's trying to do. If I was a Supreme Court judge, I would rule that it's unconstitutional, not because I'm commenting on the merits as a public policy, but because only a Constitutional Amendment could change the Constitution. [01:01] MinceR they'll probably bring back slavery officially soon, if things keep going on this way [01:02] IsambardPrince John Roberts is the more reasonable of the "conservatives" on the court. [01:02] MinceR lol [01:02] IsambardPrince In upholding the Affordable Care Act, he kept returning to "It's not the court's job to protect the voters from the results of an election." [01:02] IsambardPrince The question of whether there should be an ACA isn't for the court, it 's for Congress. [01:03] IsambardPrince And even the last Republican Majority in Congress couldn't manage to repeal it. [01:03] IsambardPrince Some of the Republican Senators realize that they have another election, and many voters losing their insurance would have a score to settle. [01:27] IsambardPrince MinceR: Reddit posts. [01:27] IsambardPrince Saw a 2021 Honda with the valve cover off. [01:27] IsambardPrince 71,000 miles. [01:27] IsambardPrince Engine full of thick mud-like sludge. [01:28] IsambardPrince Makes me glad to have my 2008 Buick. [01:28] MinceR :> [01:28] IsambardPrince I have more confidence in it than that 2021 Honda. [01:29] IsambardPrince MinceR: I use engine sludge flushes sometimes but honestly when the internals look like that Honda, you're probably just going to finish it off. [01:30] IsambardPrince I told the guy since he already owns it now anyway, I hope he didn't pay too much, and to remove all the sludge he can physically clean out of it, and drop and clean the pan and the oil sump pickup screen. THEN try a good flush like Amsoil or Liqui Moly with the cheapest oil and filter he can find and then drain it again and take the valve cover off and see if it needs to be repeated, then switch to synthetic oil and a good filter [01:30] IsambardPrince when it's all out. [01:31] IsambardPrince Also, prepare to potentially have to replace the Variable Valve Timing Solenoids. [01:31] IsambardPrince Those are the reason why simply flushing the crankcase is less likely to work on an engine made recently. [01:31] IsambardPrince That's the tightest passage of them all. [01:32] IsambardPrince If they get filled with sludge, they just stop working and the valve timing is off and the engine runs like crap. [01:32] IsambardPrince Also said that depending on how far he wants to go, he may want to get a timing chain kit and have all of that replaced too. [01:32] IsambardPrince The timing chain is protected from excessive wear by a layer of oil. [01:33] IsambardPrince And when it's covered with sludge there's no layer of oil to protect it anymore. [01:33] IsambardPrince All of this because someone didn't want to get an oil change every 5,000 miles. ● Apr 09 [02:21] IsambardPrince MinceR: Some people with ICE say it takes 5-6 months to get their first paycheck. [02:21] IsambardPrince To say nothing of a bonus, it takes 5 months to get their paycheck for that first 5 months. [02:21] IsambardPrince Because Trump has the government so screwed up that they're not getting paid even though ICE is funded. [02:21] IsambardPrince Not that I'm sympathetic. [02:22] IsambardPrince People who join the Gestapo deserve the worst thing that can happen to them.

[06:55] IsambardPrince It used to be you'd save like 10-15% vs. the national brand, everyone knew that. [06:55] IsambardPrince It was for people who were cheapskates or just broke. [06:56] IsambardPrince But now the gap has widened. The Great Value version of Doritos might be $3 and the name brand is $6-7. [06:56] IsambardPrince Walmart has every reason to innovate on the store brands. They can make them to their own standards, they can play suppliers against each other. [06:56] IsambardPrince Even at a much lower price point, they have good profit margins. [06:57] schestowitz[TR3] they can buy those companies [06:57] schestowitz[TR3] and offer it cheaply [06:57] schestowitz[TR3] but it would discriminate [06:57] schestowitz[TR3] against the other vendors [06:57] schestowitz[TR3] that are "not walmart" [06:57] IsambardPrince There's no reason to. [06:57] IsambardPrince First off, it could backfire and spark antitrust. [06:57] schestowitz[TR3] they need to SEEM "neutral" [06:57] schestowitz[TR3] yes, antitrust also [06:57] IsambardPrince They already got that from a deal with Pepsi to where Pepsi agreed not to sell cheaper at competing stores. [06:57] IsambardPrince What do you think would happen if they BOUGHT Pepsi? [06:58] IsambardPrince Also, those store brands are often made by the same company. [06:58] schestowitz[TR3] is rc cola still a thing? [06:58] IsambardPrince So they already control the supplier. To capture the consumer surplus, the national brand has to make the store brand too. [06:58] IsambardPrince Otherwise Walmart can switch suppliers. [06:59] schestowitz[TR3] right [06:59] IsambardPrince I'd say 60-80% of groceries in Walmart, the private label is made by a national supplier. [06:59] IsambardPrince Not always to the same recipe, but it's very close. [06:59] IsambardPrince I had a handheld computer called a Telxon that told who the supplier was. [06:59] IsambardPrince It was usually the brand name sitting next to the store brand. ● Apr 09 [07:00] IsambardPrince [00:58] is rc cola still a thing? [07:00] IsambardPrince It is, and Walmart sells it. [07:01] IsambardPrince They source their store brand soda from a company called Primo, which was Cott. They renamed in 2020. [07:01] IsambardPrince They make a lot of different store brand sodas. [07:02] IsambardPrince No, the supplier is usually not Coke or Pepsi for store labels. They don't get into that much.

[07:04] IsambardPrince The alcohol thing is because people have almost no discretionary income because the economy is so bad, and foreign markets have boycotted it or in some cases (Canada), the liquor stores are the government and the government took it off the shelves.
