[00:49]	TR Bot	 Coffee is in a 'perfect price storm' and it's finally starting to hit your wallet
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	"Generally, instant coffee is a lot cheaper, and [retailers are] able to bump up that price and still be in the 'lot cheaper' category," said Shonali Paul, founder of Paul John Caffeine, a Florida-based coffee roaster.
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	Well, if roasted coffee goes up 1% and instant goes up 7%, it's sort of even less reason to buy instant.

[01:09]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, They're really pushing this gold card hard. They sent a really elaborate advertisement booklet.
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	And offered $1,000 worth of points.
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	But it has a $325 annual fee, so the idea is they'll break even on you in no more than about 3 years or so.
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	In the mean time they're making money through other channels. Like merchant fees and the coupon book royalties, perhaps interest.
[01:12]	IsambardPrince	If I take the gold I'd probably downgrade the blue cash preferred to just the blue cash.
[01:12]	IsambardPrince	There's too much overlap in headline benefits to be worth two fees.

[02:26]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Musk claimed that one of the canceled contracts in the federal government was $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique. 
[02:26]	IsambardPrince	Bill Gates wuz here.
[02:29]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Bill Gates apparently paid to have a bunch of Black African men circumcised telling them it would be 100% effective in preventing HIV, so a bunch of them did it, and then got HIV, and were mad because they believed him.
[02:29]	IsambardPrince	It's a barbaric ritual done by the Jews and it unfortunately caught on in the Jewish debt colony called the United States.
[02:30]	IsambardPrince	And people mutilate their children for no real medical reason at all, and add like $7,000 to the hospital bill. Just to try to destroy their son's sex life. And John Harvey Kellogg is the one that promoted it, to destroy the male sex drive, and the funny thing is that it doesn't do anything of the sort.
[02:31]	IsambardPrince	So we're just attacking infants and wasting billions on "healthcare" in one of the most expensive and shittiest countries for healthcare in the developed world.
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	I'd be fine with the bible if it was one of those New Testament ones with Psalms and Proverbs they used to hand out.
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	In fact, I really wish that they would just use that one.
[02:34]	IsambardPrince	It's like Christians in America had two choices and they went immediately towards the darkness. The Old Testament stuff is really horrid. Promotes all kinds of things, like slavery, selling little girls to their rapist, genocide, all sorts of awful and violent things.
[02:34]	IsambardPrince	And so what happened of course is that people here modeled life on that, they took their inspiration from a book that describes criminal activity and war crimes and barbarism, and they put that on the pedestal about how we're supposed to live.
[02:35]	IsambardPrince	And they completely ignore the New Testament completely, which is odd seeing as that's where Christ is.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	I liked Lewis Black (a Jewish comedian), yelling at Christians for using "OUR BOOK". The Old Testament. "We need to hear don't marry a goat because we're Jews. We don't necessarily know that."
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	They've studied the whole "Does circumcision prevent HIV?" thing, and while there's some evidence that it may help, it's weak evidence. It's like maybe a tiny little 1-2% risk reduction, in studies that are small and have since not been reproducible.
[02:40]	IsambardPrince	So of course when it comes to telling your male child of age, that he should use condoms, vs. cutting a part of his body off....
[02:40]	IsambardPrince	What do people like my parents do?
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	I've known at least seven men with HIV and they were all circumcised. And one of them had meth mouth because between living in Indiana and Florida there wasn't much left.
[02:44]	IsambardPrince	But meth is literally everywhere in Indiana. My mom's second husband, I call them the "The Hills Have Eyes people.", one of them was caught making meth every time he was out of freaking jail, including in a 20 ounce mountain dew bottle he threw out the car when he saw a cop, which is a great way not to get pulled over and cause an investigation, you know.

[10:00]	IsambardPrince	"Last week, the Gen Z tree was shaken again, this time with a major study into their attitudes. There were many eye-catching if not entirely unpredictable facets of the survey, commissioned by The Times in conjunction with Public First, an opinion consultancy. There was the conviction that Britain is without a doubt a racist country; that the police are untrustworthy; that marriage is impermanent and thus should be entered into 
[10:00]	IsambardPrince	frequently; that mental health should be king among topics and, repellently, that drugs are preferable to booze"
[10:00]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Legalize most drugs! :P
[10:01]	IsambardPrince	"The most sobering take-home, though, was their attitude towards the country. They seem to feel about being British like most people feel about having to take out the bins; that its an unpleasant encumbrance."
[10:01]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, I've felt that way about being an American for a while.
[10:02]		*x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@wdme6gwksagw4.irc) has joined #techrights
[10:02]	IsambardPrince	"Only 40 per cent were able to admit to being happy they were British, which is a dramatic decrease from 2004 the year yours truly was 21 when 80 per cent of us wore that mantle proudly.
[10:02]	IsambardPrince	And then the biggie: only 11 per cent would certainly fight for Britain, while 41 per cent no matter the cause would not. This is compared to 19 per cent when my generation (millennials) were Gen Zs age."
[10:02]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, you know that they ask if you would fight for the United States on a naturalization form.
[10:03]	IsambardPrince	Many of them would just run back to their own country.
[10:03]	IsambardPrince	Like Ireland.
[10:03]	IsambardPrince	Or India.
[10:04]	IsambardPrince	"This, it becomes clear, isnt just about being cross with Britain for Covid lockdowns, poor pay and high house prices."
[10:04]	IsambardPrince	Awful pay and high housing prices don't help.
[10:05]	IsambardPrince	They used to say that owning a home made you a better citizen in your local community because it meant permanence.
[10:05]	IsambardPrince	Now there is no community because you'll either change jobs or get priced out eventually.
[10:06]	IsambardPrince	"So when the next existential fight lands on Britains doorstep and with a Trump-emboldened Putin it may be sooner rather than later I fear it will be much harder than it was for the 1933 generation for Gen Z to pull themselves together and do the right and brave thing. Wed better come up with a plan B and fast."
[10:07]	IsambardPrince	Trump sees the writing on the wall as it pertains to the US military. They can't find many people willing to fight or sign up, or who are even healthy enough physically or mentally.
[10:07]	IsambardPrince	Throwing crazy people out, like trannies, may make the service more normal.
[10:07]	IsambardPrince	But it won't help with recruitment numbers.
[10:08]	IsambardPrince	We're having national fights about defunding entire school systems in a State because three boys in a State of almost 13 million people, have _ever_ asked to play on the girl's team.
[10:08]	IsambardPrince	That's how rare trannies are. 3 cases of wanting to play sports on the wrong team in a medium sized state.

[10:18]	IsambardPrince	Honestly there should be a 50% tariff on BMWs and VWs just to make them an even more obviously horrible value proposition.
