[00:00]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, This is probably Trump's least horrible nominee.
[00:00]	IsambardPrince	And the only one I would have voted to confirm if I was a Senator.
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, RFK Jr. is now using AIDS Denialism tactics on the Measles.
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	He's saying you get Measles with "poor diet".
[00:06]	MinceR	good
[00:06]	MinceR	let the heehaw retards get measles and TB
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Also, as a Hungarian I suppose I should ask you.
[00:07]	MinceR	according to the gypsy king, i am not a hungarian ("the homeland can not be in opposition")
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	I have a recipe for goulash.
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	It says use a Spanish onion.
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	You suppose a Vidalia would work?
[00:07]	MinceR	no idea, i can't cook
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	Why can't you cook?
[00:07]	MinceR	i never learned
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	Uhhh.
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	Everyone should know how to cook.
[00:08]	MinceR	would be nice

[00:09]	TR Bot	 Instant Pot Best Hungarian Goulash - Pressure Luck Cooking
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	I like the pressure cooker.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	It gets food cooked several times faster than the oven or slow cooker.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	But ignore the recipe if you're cooking chicken or beef, and let it release pressure naturally until the pin drops on its own.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	Or it'll be "shoe leather".
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	Quick releasing with something like a roast causes the moisture to boil out of the meat.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Some good news though.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	My eyeglasses prescription has barely changed.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Mandy's not at all.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	No reason to buy glasses this year.

[00:27]	IsambardPrince	I remember someone did.

[00:33]	IsambardPrince	:)
[00:34]	MinceR	everything is short term

[00:34]	IsambardPrince	You're kind of a glass half empty guy.
[00:34]	MinceR	i live on Planet Hell
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Mom was talking about paying $40 a month to wash her car.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	I said "I don't think my setup even costs me 40 cents."
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	She doesn't do anything to save money.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	She's adjusted poorly to a fixed income.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-pi, mstdn.social is pretty much broken down.
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	Moderation becomes a thankless job, unpaid, and in some cases necessary because of user content and criminal law or something.

[00:57]	IsambardPrince	Definitely not good.
[00:57]	IsambardPrince	Measles is the most infectious disease there is in the world. In the absence of vaccination, one infected Measles patient will give it to 18 other people, and diet doesn't matter much."

[02:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Cheeto declared an energy emergency in January, and then one happened when Canada started with a $400,000 per day electricity export tax.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	A problem which is expected to get worse.

[02:26]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "Some of my lies are true, eventually." -Huey Lewis
[02:28]	IsambardPrince	"Do you like Huey Lewis & The News? Their early work was a little too 'new-wave' for my taste, but when 'Sports' came out in '83, I think they really came into their own both commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense o
[02:28]	IsambardPrince	f humor. In '87, Huey released this, 'Fore', their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is 'Hip to Be Square', a song so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics but they should! Because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!"
[02:29]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I made my brother crack up when I recited that from memory in Patrick Bateman's style of voice.

[02:35]	TR Bot	 Not Worth a Continental | The Daily Economy
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, In 1775, the United States issued the Continental Dollar. By 1779 it was so worthless from hyperinflation, the federal government wouldn't even accept its own money.
[02:40]	IsambardPrince	Then the government began passing maximum price laws nobody followed and laws making all sorts of things like "oppression" and "extortion" illegal, essentially blaming people who wouldn't take it for causing the problem of the currency going from $2 million to $40 million in just a few years.
[02:44]	IsambardPrince	"At about the same time, Washington wrote, We seem to be verging so fast to extinction that I am filled with sensations to which I have been a stranger till these three months."
[02:45]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, I've had those moments.

[02:47]	IsambardPrince	"Thereupon, and under the direction of its new treasurer, Robert Morris, the Continental Congress essentially repudiated its paper money. The outstanding amount was to be redeemed through payment of taxes to the states, and exchanged at the rate of $40 in paper money to $1 in silver. Through this expedient, $120 million of paper money was retired. Another $6 million was exchanged for bonds, at the rate of $1 in paper money to 1 in
[02:47]	IsambardPrince	 silver, and the balance was presumed lost, destroyed or retained as souvenirs."
[02:47]	IsambardPrince	LOL
[02:48]	IsambardPrince	So it gave a 40:1 exchange rate to state governments and 100:1 to private citizens, then wrote off whatever anyone didn't bother to turn in.

[03:24]	IsambardPrince	"Get a $700 credit limit from Milestone Mastercard"
[03:24]	IsambardPrince	LOL
[03:24]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I looked at this card when my credit was much, much worse.
[03:24]	IsambardPrince	I started calling it the Millstone Mastercard.
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, On Reddit, I spoke about marketing a bit.
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	"They've spent a fortune trying to convince Americans that only paupers drink "tap" water, because there's allegedly "chemicals" in it or something (including hydrogen and oxygen, or so I'm led to believe), then they bottle someone else's tap water, and it leeches out petrochemicals and microplastics, so you can drink those too. Nobody is completely sure of what having this crap in your system even does to you, but it doesn't stop 
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	my mother from gulping it down.
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	Get a really good filter (like the Pur Plus or Brita Elite) and run it through that. And stop worrying. Most of the tap water in America is not unsafe micro-biologically (although if it is, you can boil it for a few minutes and wait until it cools to room temperature before filtering it, and that will kill any potential germs/parasites first.
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	Before 1995, almost nobody bought bottled water. They spent billions on a marketing campaign and people today are completely wussified because of that.
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	Also, it's tap water. Why would it be faucet water? That takes more work to say. :)
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	Marketing campaigns are sadly effective. They apparently had focus groups so that iPhone commercials never say "get the iPhone 17", they say "get iPhone 17" because it makes an inanimate object of not much importance sound like a person.
[03:38]	IsambardPrince	They have psychiatrists sitting around telling them how to get inside your head so you're always in debt and teetering on bankruptcy and working more jobs."

[21:54]	IsambardPrince	It's terrifying what's out there again because of stupid people having lots of kids and neglecting their basic care.
[21:55]	IsambardPrince	I'd say take them out of that home but honestly, foster care is worse. In the national news the other day, a 340 pounder of a foster "mom" sat on a 10 year old for "acting bad" for at least 5 minutes until he stopped moving because he died. Crushed to death by the Hippo Lady is probably worse than not being vaccinated I guess.
[21:56]	IsambardPrince	That was an Indiana story.

[22:25]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I'm cautiously optimistic that the DoJ is pursuing antitrust cases against Google, Microsoft, and Amazon even after the regime took over.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	They told the courts they intend to aggressively pursue those.
[22:48]	IsambardPrince	They gave me a larger chuch roast than I expected. Might add a few minutes to the pressure cook to make sure it gets done in the middle.

[22:48]	IsambardPrince	I got a chuck cross roast this time.
[22:49]	IsambardPrince	I needed at least $25 meat to use a $5 off $25 meat coupon they gave me so I got a slightly more expensive roast.

[22:51]	IsambardPrince	Up to 1600 banks might have failed the same way SVB did if not for the Fed allowing them to use treasuries and mortgage-backed securities as collateral for loans.
[22:51]	IsambardPrince	The US banking system is ran by idiots and is nowhere near as stable as people may think.
