[02:52]	IsambardPrince	His superintendent came by to say they're bombing the place. I said "I've already done that.
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	He asked what I was using. I said, "Combat bait, Advanta bait, boric acid, bifermethrin, zeta-cypermethrine, Black Flag roach motels, and an electric fly zapper. I'm about to seal up the kitchen with some caulk and gorilla tape from Walmart so they stay gone."
[02:54]	IsambardPrince	He said "You could have just asked." I said, "By the time anything got done about it, I'd have to abandon everything and move out."

[03:01]	TR Bot	 Techrights Over at Tux Machines...
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I reported him to the city. Neighbor has a busted window, for two months. Garbage constantly overflowing due to insufficient trash pickups. Roach infestation in the entire building.
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	Now he's in a panic to bomb the roaches, shovel the trash, and fix the window.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	I already sprayed bifenthrin and zeta-cypermmetrhin down the trim around my down, down my side of the hallway, and to the laundry room.
[03:04]	IsambardPrince	The way I understand this, roaches and many other bugs that encounter that stuff get some on them and die.
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	"DO NOT USE ON WINDOWS OR GLASS!
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	I got some drips on my windows trying to be thorough, OVER A YEAR AGO. They left a milk-ish cloudy stain on every window I got it on. I just got done washing the windows with a car wash brush, PRESSURE WASHING them, and in a desperate attempt I hand cleaned a couple with Windex. NOTHING WORKED! They are almost AS BAD AS DAY 1. If you decide to use this stuff do yourself a favor and DO NOT GET IN ON YOUR WINDOWS OR GLASS!!!"
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	----
[03:07]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It says spray on trim and ground 2" from trim.
[03:07]	IsambardPrince	It did not say to spray a window.

[03:07]	IsambardPrince	In fact it says not to spray it into the air.
[03:08]	TR News	"In the crypto currency space people say: not your keys, not your coins. As long as the firmware on your computer supports setting up your own keys or those you trust, there is no problem. The issue is: most people don't know this or check this, so there is a potential systemic problem with Microsoft having the root keys."
[03:08]	IsambardPrince	The only way a chain of trust works is by starting with the user.
[03:08]	TR News	"At the moment PC users seem to be safe, Microsoft hasn't caused problems (intentional or otherwise). When fwupd installs updates of the firmware on your machine (or dual boot and install Windows updates), that could change, in theory."
[03:09]	TR News	"Very likely the option to disable Secure Boot will also remain (as I understand it, that is what these companies say they will do), so there is that. So it's very much theoretical, but also shows the Linux world is not in complete control."
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	The user should be able to add their own self-signed certificates to the firmware, and so should any OS that the user okays.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	Then it would be a security feature.

[03:10]	IsambardPrince	---
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	It says "2 pack with 1 refill gallon." You take the sprayer off the first jug when it's empty and attach it to the refill jug.

[03:16]	IsambardPrince	You get them out of the house and they've never even met their parents, and they still become criminals later.
[03:16]	IsambardPrince	Most of them do.
[03:16]	IsambardPrince	There's a big genetic component to being a criminal.
[03:16]	IsambardPrince	But some is environmental too.
[03:17]	IsambardPrince	Studies have shown, for example, that hitting your children makes them much more likely to be arrested later in life. And it's not surprising.
[03:17]	IsambardPrince	You traumatize a child and teach them violence is the answer for every problem, then they get arrested for hitting someone.
[03:17]	IsambardPrince	Who taught them to hit people? The dickhead parents.

[03:18]	TR Bot	 Tux Machines A look at the SilverBullet note-taking application
[03:19]	IsambardPrince	My parents have said insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. They never stopped hitting me and trying something else. Too lazy. Too much rigid thinking. They didn't realize that it was having an effect. It taught me to resent them. It made me angry at them.
[03:20]	IsambardPrince	Then I grew up and already had a disgust for authority figures.
[03:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, If it wasn't going to get me put in prison, I would have told several judges that in any decent society some asshole like them would be too ashamed to put on a black garbage bag and say they were part of the justice system.
[03:23]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, So Chris the Superintendent came by to shovel the garbage back into the bin.
[03:23]	IsambardPrince	he said people toss it over the enclosure. I said, "Well yeah, it's because they see other people's rotting trash and don't want to step on it.
[03:23]	IsambardPrince	Then he said "You could open the latch." 
[03:24]	IsambardPrince	I said, "I've tried that. Did you know that when you disturb a family of raccoons they growl, and I don't really want a rabies series because I took out the garbage?" "I think the solution is to tear down the enclosure and get a bigger bin."

[05:18]	IsambardPrince	<schestowitz[TR2]> "i don't need a fucking doctor!! I have apple iwatch and smart things and..."
[05:18]	IsambardPrince	When someone said they bought an Apple Watch and it told them they had afib in the middle of the night, and they went to the ER, they tested them, said no you don't, and sent them a massive ER bill....
[05:19]	IsambardPrince	That was it for me.
[05:19]	IsambardPrince	But then it started calling 911 to report car accidents because people were at amusement parks on roller coasters and viking ships and stuff.
[05:19]	IsambardPrince	:)
[05:19]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[05:19]	IsambardPrince	afib is a very serious heart condition, but it's also not that common.
[05:21]	IsambardPrince	The watch may be able to tell you if you might have it, but if you're not having any symptoms or anything I'd probably just go to your doctor and schedule a follow-up with a cardiologist. You can get in a week or two later and they can run the same tests outside the ER for a lot less money.
[05:21]	IsambardPrince	I wouldn't go to the ER because a watch said to.
[05:21]	IsambardPrince	The ER is set up to deal with emergencies and it's very expensive.
[05:22]	IsambardPrince	One reason it's very expensive is a lot of people in America are uninsured or an illegal immigrant.
[05:22]	IsambardPrince	The ER has to see them too even though they can't pay.
[05:22]	IsambardPrince	There's a bill, but nobody pays, so you pay, when you use the ER.

[08:29]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I'm cramming on biology. Cockroach biology.
[08:29]	IsambardPrince	Specifically how to make them die.
[08:30]	IsambardPrince	I think the reason I was still seeing them after I set out the bait was because more were coming in through those gaps and cracks I sealed.
[08:31]	IsambardPrince	And I cleaned and sprayed some more. Today I get boric acid from Amazon. I ordered three pounds of the stuff. So I'll do around the appliances and the cupboards and drawers with that stuff.
[08:32]	IsambardPrince	You don't really want to use Ortho around utensils and where pets might go. It's not highly toxic to mammals, but boric acid is safer. It doesn't take much to kill a roach that walks through it. So you can target the treatment better.

[08:33]	IsambardPrince	When they go and get some on them they'll stop to clean themselves later. Then it basically liquifies their digestive system and the roach dies. The other roaches come by and eat it, and then those roaches die.
