[01:30]	IsambardPrince	I did some spot cleaning and refreshed some of my cockroach traps.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I think most of them were coming in under the doors.
[01:31]	IsambardPrince	So the sweeps I installed might cut them off from reinforcements.
[01:32]	MinceR	i wonder why docker is such a gigantic pile of shit
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Discover (before Capital One) would renegotiate card terms if you hinted that you were threatening to refinance somewhere else.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	Capital One goes full Palpatine on you.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	"Do it!"
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	They aren't negotiating anything with anyone. If you got a Capital One card with bad credit they always service it like you still have bad credit, for the life of the account.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't matter what they'd give you with the credit rating you have now.
[01:38]	MinceR	and of course all the alleged 'alternatives' just pile more hacks on top of docker
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	I don't like containers.
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	They're trying to misuse them in personal computing contexts that they don't belong in.

[04:19]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I caught another cockroach.
[04:19]	IsambardPrince	The Chicago Apartment Special.
[04:19]	IsambardPrince	It was a smokey brown.
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Yes, I smoked it.
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	You just stomp on the trap and toss it in the garbage, got get a new trap.
[04:20]	MinceR	ssssssssssssssssssssmokin'!
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	I hate roaches.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	This is the third apartment in a row.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	They're in almost every multifamily building.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	About the only thing you can do about it is try to suppress them.
[04:22]	IsambardPrince	The big exterminator companies will happily take your money and lie to you and say they'll get rid of them.
[04:22]	IsambardPrince	Then $800 later you still have cockroaches.
[04:22]	IsambardPrince	If you're only treating one unit in an infested building, about all you can do is keep a lid on them.
[04:38]	IsambardPrince	You're almost as well off with a contractor pack of sticky traps and a bottle of spray from almart.
[04:38]	IsambardPrince	*Walmart
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	They'll come out and here's the thing.
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	They want you on "EASY PAY" so you think oh $53 a month.
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	Then they only come every two months.
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	So you're really paying them $106 every visit.
[04:42]	IsambardPrince	Orkin rations everything.
[04:42]	IsambardPrince	They toss out like 8 glue traps.
[04:43]	IsambardPrince	So while I was paying Orkin to "handle the roaches" I was still investing my money in roach control products.
[04:45]	IsambardPrince	They stick like 6 of them around the kitchen and maybe a couple behind the toilet in the bathroom.
[04:46]	IsambardPrince	This will catch a few roaches, but you could easily triple the kill count by expanding to 40 traps around the place.
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	I have so many around my house, wherever the roach walks down a wall, it eventually dies.
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	I've been getting like 0-2 roaches per day on average.
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	If I did what Orkin does I might catch 2-3 per week.
[04:47]	IsambardPrince	That's the difference between keeping a lid on them and catching a few to show a customer.
[04:50]	IsambardPrince	You're gonna be in a holding pattern with the roaches whether you DIY or call Orkin, so you might as well do it yourself for $100 worth of stuff as pay Orkin $800 that year.
[04:50]	MinceR	lol

[05:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	I don't know how this company has come this far with how its management works. They had us working overtime almost every day, most weekends, during plane rides, during family events, all to hit the unreasonable targets they themselves sold. They told us to go above and beyond because it would help us get promoted, and now all promotions are being delayed?
[05:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	The stock crash caused by tech sales is impacting consulting employees? What kind of BS is that? Since when has this company ever given a shit about the consulting practice anyway?
[05:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	In return for the countless hours I gave this company, they gave me the gift of a pushed-back promotion because Wall Street didn't like our numbers. We still turned a profit in Q2. We can't use a little bit of that to reward the employees who worked their asses off? All of this so the executives can still get their bonuses and stock rewards at the end of the year.
[05:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	Idk how anyone has the motivation to do anything right now. Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant. Good luck everyone.

[23:50]	bms	the price is practically exactly the same, and they charged delivery anyway, on top of the Prime I already have for the moment. I think I'm going to quit Amazon soon
