[01:58]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: A few new details on Maricel's case.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	Capital One bought Discover Bank and she originally owed Discover the money that Capital One is now suing her for.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	If Discover had stayed its own bank, it wouldn't have helped her much. They were known for being far more aggressive than Capital One at collecting debts.

[21:15]	IsambardPrince	Someone was boasting recently about self-hosting their email.

[21:20]	IsambardPrince	It seems like a joke when he says because they were oddly pleasant.
[21:20]	IsambardPrince	But it was probably because he knew that it had to have been something caused by gate travel or that he had come into contact with from gate travel.
[21:20]	IsambardPrince	That if he said he was seeing things and they couldn't figure out why, they would take him off of SG-1.
[21:21]	IsambardPrince	And because they were harmless, he just didn't say anything.

[22:21]	IsambardPrince	I wonder if there's any way to even modify this behavior. Probably not. This is the OS that GNOME is copying.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	And you can't modify that much.
[22:21]	MinceR	> why the minimize button doesn't minimize the window to its icon on the dock,
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	They're talking about not allowing GNOME Tweaks at all.
[22:21]	MinceR	probably so it's consistent with the maximize button, which doesn't maximize the window
[22:21]	MinceR	"it just works!"

[22:33]	TR Bot	 Calmira II
[22:33]	MinceR	i don't think calmira existed back then
[22:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	IsambardPrince: it is easy for apple to use people
[22:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	via i things
[22:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	they also censor via app store
[22:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	they control behqaviour

[22:34]	TR Bot	 Apple Reportedly Removes Navalny's Voting App At Russia's Request
[22:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	Gay "Tim Apple":
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	I just used the Windows 95 b shell on Windows 98, after I removed Internet Explorer.
[22:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	let's censor for the country that bans "gay propaganda"
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	After the "shell update" from IE, the Explorer shell was several times larger for pointless "web integration".
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	The new code was very unstable and was the source of not only a lot of shell crashes, but Windows 98 crashes.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	Microsoft never properly fixed the "resource leaks" in Windows XP.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	They just made the stack that tended to overflow and BSoD the entire computer go up from a bit over 1 MB to the entire available RAM size.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	That way it could leak for theoretically months or years and you wouldn't know.
[22:41]	MinceR	can calmira automatically minimize program manager if it starts with windows?

[22:49]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: When I was using it, it loaded instead of Program Manager.
[22:49]	IsambardPrince	So I think that in that screenshot he must have loaded Program Manager himself on top of Calmira.
[22:50]	MinceR	:)
[22:50]	MinceR	yeah, based on my experience, i assumed that things might break if program manager is not the shell
[22:50]	MinceR	regardless of what a poorly designed unusable eyesore program manager is
[22:52]	IsambardPrince	I never had anything break.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	It made it easier to keep on using my old laptop on the internet for a while, although it did not have a 56k modem in it, so I usually used the computer downstairs.
[22:56]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I think out of the 90s, my @skynet.net email was one of the things I miss most.
[22:56]	MinceR	:>
[22:57]	MinceR	yeah, it was nice when email actually worked
[22:57]	MinceR	between different service providers
[22:57]	MinceR	and when computers were designed to run whatever the person who bought them wanted to run on them
[22:58]	MinceR	and when the Internet wasn't dominated by half a dozen super-greedy megacorporations
[22:58]	MinceR	cars were better, movies were better, videogames were better
[22:59]	MinceR	humanity peaked, it's time to throw in the towel
[22:59]	MinceR	it only goes downhill from here
● May 09
[23:01]	IsambardPrince	I picked up 20 quarts of Mobil 1 Advanced Clean oil today.
[23:01]	IsambardPrince	They had a $15 per jug mail in rebate on it.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	It says it cleans out sludge and carbon deposits "in one oil change". I think this is their response to Valvoline Restore and Protect.
[23:12]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: So I went to see Michael Jackson's childhood house in Gary, Indiana this week.
[23:12]	IsambardPrince	A black lady drove by saying "Get out of here before dark! Get out of here before dark!"
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	Apparently the Jackson family still owns the house, but nobody lives in it.
[23:13]	MinceR	:)
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	They do upkeep and have a memorial stone for Michael Jackson in the yard.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	He left behind such a huge estate that maintaining a very small house in Gary Indiana is probably not that big of a deal.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	You can't sell a house there anyway really.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	Nobody wants to live there. Most of the houses have been abandoned for 20 or 30 years and are being reclaimed by nature.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	The place looks like an abandoned city from the 1970s.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	Things just fall over and nobody ever repairs it.

[23:26]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: All the Doritos and Lay's snacks have had the price cut back down to like $3.97 a bag.
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	They were briefly $6.94.
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	Pepsi lost over a billion dollars in sales even though the price was high.
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	So now the bags say "Same size, new lower price."
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	But the price is just the price from last year.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I took my computer to the car wash.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	They have an compressed air gun.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	I figure why should I buy a can of air that's up to nearly $10 because of tariffs (was $4).
[23:39]	IsambardPrince	When they have an air gun at the car wash.
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	I love those car washes with the air guns, I have a car with those "door guards" on the sides, where water likes to hide and leak out later and leave streaks, that air gun lets me blow it all out of there.
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	The door guards don't really work.
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	Some animal that drives an SUV always finds you and dings your car above the guard.
