[00:04]	IsambardPrince	"I remember being in Florida in 1998, and there were people advertising ma huang diet supplements (which killed people) on phone poles.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	"What is it? I don't know. Sounds Chinese and the ad was stapled to a telephone pole. Just swallow it!"
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	And people want to complain about prescription medicine prescribed by doctors and manufactured under stringent regulations, only after being shown to have worked?"
[00:21]	MinceR	muh huang
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	My....hung... *nods with a grin*
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I posted:
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	"In this corner we have all the dentists and scientists in America, and on that side of the ring we have a MAGA nut who wants to be a Senator from Texas.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	Ding ding ding ding ding. Next time Texans need a filling or a root canal they should just skip the dentist because what does he know, and show up at Ken Paxton's office.

[00:30]	IsambardPrince	"Qatar bribed Trump with a $400 million luxury airplane to use as Air Force One, which will have to be completely disassembled to look for bugs and other spy crap, and then re-assembled with all the stuff you need for it to be a mobile command center with radar jammers, anti-missile countermeasures, and EM hardening. Then at the end of his term, Trump will take the aircraft which is GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, and continue using it when 
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	he's not the President.
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	Pam "Bondo" said this is legal... :)"
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	I unplugged everything for a while. Running the laptopo on battery.

[00:40]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, hopefully el landlord-o didn't send the 13 year old out with a chain saw to create a beaver dam in the backyard again,
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	A 13 year old with a chainsaw...epic foreshadowing.
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	By the next year there was basically one running America.

[05:28]	IsambardPrince	Looks okay.
[05:28]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, all they can really do now is cut, lots of businesses in that position though.
[05:28]	IsambardPrince	The economic policies of this administration are nuts and change every day.
[05:29]	IsambardPrince	So you have a hard time planning anything around them whether you're a business or not. Do I buy a car now or is Trump full of shit and people rushing to buy cars are not thinking this over, just panicking?
[05:29]	IsambardPrince	What happens when they have a new car sitting in the driveway to avoid the tariffs, then they get laid off?
[05:30]	IsambardPrince	What happens if inflation gets really bad and they need food, but they have a car out in the drive rusting, which they turned in a car that had rust but still worked to get?
[05:31]	IsambardPrince	Do I load up my pantry on toothpaste because RFK Jr. and Ken Paxton are morons? Or will they waffle and then ultimately just encourage individual states to do their dirty work for them, like what happened with industry and artificial food dyes?
[05:32]	IsambardPrince	They said they would ban the dyes and they ended up encouraging industry to get rid of them. How do those things work? Biden FDA asks packaged food industry to lower sodium by 25%, they didn't.
[05:32]	IsambardPrince	You can't ask. If you ask, they do't do it, so it's just a lot of smoke and mirrors to make it look like things are happening.
[05:32]	IsambardPrince	You could order them to do it.
[05:33]	IsambardPrince	In the case of sodium it should have been an order. There's a tangible benefit. Less sodium, less heart attacks, less strokes.
[05:33]	IsambardPrince	But trying to plan things in the age of people who don't know what they're doing and don't care at all about you is nasty for everyone.

[05:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	the same article was llm slop (text)
[05:45]	IsambardPrince	Just for park tickets, food, and parking.
[05:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	so you took advice on legal issues from a work salad
[05:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	*word\
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	$1400 for one day, and he didn't have a hotel bill because he drove there.
[05:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	very dangerous thing to do
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	Disney is outragous.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	I asked mom what we spent for a while week there.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	She said maybe like $2000 including staying somewhere all week, park hopper passes, food, everything.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Cinderella's castle has digital food menus where the prices change based on demand and time of day.
[05:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	nice.
[05:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	sounds like fantasy
[05:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	a dream come true
[05:48]	IsambardPrince	I told my mom about that. They have a Tony's restaurant inspired by Lady and the Tramp.
[05:49]	IsambardPrince	I looked at the menu. The one I saw suggested that a family of four isn't getting out of there without paying almost $280 or so for dinner.
[05:49]	IsambardPrince	And it's pasta and stuff. Very cheap.
[05:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	i was in disneyworld in the 90s
[05:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	it was expensive
[05:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	but it sounds like disney now makes up
[05:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	for fewers visitrs
[05:49]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], They make an atmosphere and then get you because you're not adding up how much it costs and if you are you're not going to complain about it in front of your kids.
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	by squeezing what's left of then
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe kids of very rich families
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	that just poress "order"
[05:50]	IsambardPrince	They're definitely squeezing my cousin.
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	irrepsective of the price
[05:50]	IsambardPrince	She's taking everyone there when she's bankrupt.
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	they are becoming like "luxury jewlery"
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	disney used to be "for everyone"
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	now it's for "social climbers"
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	in FB
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	"take selfies"
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	show your "worth"
[05:51]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Mom said my cousin's baby won't remember it, and their adopted son (a fetal alcohol baby with severe behavior problems) will be screaming and looking at an iPad all day.
[05:51]	IsambardPrince	She said that.
[05:51]	IsambardPrince	She's not wrong.
[05:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	is that your mom's side?
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	Yeah
[05:54]	IsambardPrince	The kids and the husband that doesn't work ensures that my cousin will never enjoy any savings, or being debt-free.
[05:54]	IsambardPrince	Not that she'd handle money well without the baggage.
[05:54]	IsambardPrince	But none of them are helping.
[05:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	IsambardPrince: rember me which month in 1998 you went to disneyworld
[05:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	i was there same year
[05:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	i think it was august for me, i can check
[05:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	remember old photos have date stamps on them
[05:56]	IsambardPrince	I think it was August.
[05:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	oh
[05:57]	IsambardPrince	It was probably around the first or second week of August because school started back up at the end of the month.
[05:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	can you research dynamic pricing some more?
[05:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	i think you covered it
[05:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	in your blog?
[05:57]	IsambardPrince	Yeah.
[05:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	for me i think late august
[05:57]	IsambardPrince	Even Wendy's wanted to do it.
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	i don't uise apps
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	so i never experienced this

[05:58]	TR Bot	 Wendys clarifies plans for dynamic pricing experiment after backlash - Ars Technica
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	but in whetherspoon mornings have different menu
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	so what they do is,
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	around 11:45 they walk through all the tables
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	and take away a sheet of paper that's the moring menu
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	if they have 50 tables
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	it can be done ina  few minutes
[05:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	no need for "apps"
[05:59]	IsambardPrince	Cinderella's castle has reservations. So they know in real time how much demand there is to get in there.
[05:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Sorry, the app is down"
[05:59]	IsambardPrince	You'll pay more when everyone is trying to get in and they don't have enough tables.
[05:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	"the cloud has issues"
[05:59]	IsambardPrince	Because they don't need your business.
[05:59]	IsambardPrince	They're already overwhelmed.

[15:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Many comments (inside threads) and even entire new threats are trolls who use LLM slop to drown out the signal and unnecessarily provoke people... Some people will get fed up and leave, never to return. That's the goal... One can only hypothesise (hard to prove) that those are PR/HR operatives (IBM's CEO openly boasts this month they're replacing HR with slop). They don't want people they besiege to be able to speak to one anothe

[15:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	@TheLayoff: This site can trawl for offending words, but can't seem to discern that obvious AI slop and bot / Indian troll upvotes on AI slop, is ruining the experience? At the very least, slap a warning on the post that it's AI nonsense.
[15:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	You are one of the few outlets that has consistently reported on the unethical practices of IBM can't you protect yourself from this as--ult? Do an investigative report on it?
[15:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	Alvind, who met and kissed the ring of Mohammed Bone Saw Bin Laden in Saudi Arabia this week, is a truly evil person. Please do something, if only to stand up to a guy who consorts with journalist-mu---rers and then tries to ruin your site and livelihood. This guy is operating IBM with the playbook and ethics of The Sun. A truly vile human being.
