[00:15]	MinceR	:)
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	I just got another mass text from the landlord.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	"Please dont throw food items in laundry trash can. Also, please dont throw trash around parking lot and all trash should be dropped inside the Groot dumpster."
[00:17]	MinceR	"i am groot"
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	Please don't rent apartments to people who are fucking gross and stupid, thank you.
[00:18]	MinceR	but hardly any other people are available on this planet
[00:19]	IsambardPrince	"You look like the kind of person who would fuck a guy in the ass without the common goddamned courtesy of a reacharound.....and then wipe off his eyeglasses with his underwear he picked off the floor!"
[00:19]	IsambardPrince	See, if R. Lee Ermey only watched gay porn he could have done better as Hartman in Full Metal Jacket.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, They're not giving away eyeglasses.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	I just paid over $200 for a pair after insurance.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	There is no way I would ever wipe them off with a pair of underwear.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	People are very very gross.
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	The interesting thing I've observed is that people who are neat freaks and germ freaks and food safety freaks, and worry about what's in their tap water, that kind of stuff.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	When sex is involved, they become as filthy as anyone else all of a sudden, then they got back to being a neat freak.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	It's got to me some sort of override built into the programming.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	But what goes on in this place is some next level stuff.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	There are people having sex in the parking lot and tossing their used condom on the ground when they're done.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	I go "Eww, gross....well, at least they used one. I'd hate to think they did that and then produced a child."
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	But the government wants those people to have children, and they don't want people "like me" adopting children, even though I have standards.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Something this country used to have.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	Everything is gross and unmaintained now.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	Everyone's on their cell phone in the car, you know. Driving while looking at their iPhone.
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, That woman next door does nothing but sit there and smoke.
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	I made Mandy laugh this morning. We were out in the hallway and he said "Why does it smell bad out here." I said (loudly) "Because that hag next door is barely human."

[02:37]	IsambardPrince	I had to shove cardboard in the door, otherwise the neighbor's tobacco smoke gets really annoying. If it smells that bad from across the hallway and two closed doors, how does she even stand inhaling it?
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	I have one of those neighbors that never smokes a Marlboro. They find the cheapest most foul-smelling cigarettes that really make themselves known no matter how far you get away from them or how many doors you close.
[02:39]	MinceR	> how does she even stand inhaling it?
[02:39]	MinceR	addiction.
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	Fuck, find something else to be addicted to.
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	Like Fentanyl.
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't smell bad, I think.
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	Finishes you off faster too.
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	Judging by how much she's in there smoking I think she's trying to make sure she doesn't have any lung cells left by the end of the month.
[02:41]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I wonder how the landlord would even know what's going on with the trash in the laundry room.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	A homeless guy was living in there for a month and pissing down the drain in the floor and he didn't seem to care.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	Now he cares about people throwing food wrappers in the trash?
[02:43]	IsambardPrince	What the landlord does say something about is random and comes in fits and spurts. He's happy to let you stick to the floor in the laundry room because of congealed homeless guy piss while the washing machine puts holes and bleach stains on anything you dare put in there.
[02:43]	IsambardPrince	But oh no, someone threw half a cheeseburger in the trash.
[02:46]	IsambardPrince	His text messages alone are annoying enough.

[02:46]	IsambardPrince	But I have to listen to how gross these people are when I'm already bloody well aware of it.

[03:34]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, $6.99 for this movie, to "buy" on Amazon Prime Video, vs. $39.99 for the Blu Ray disc.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	Of course with the discs you don't need Amazon for anything.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	And they can't make more demands on you later for DRM crap than what the Blu Ray standard calls for.
[03:35]		*SomeGoat has quit (connection closed)
[03:41]	admfubar	plus with the streaming services you have to have approved hardware to get the high resolution
[03:44]	MinceR	pretty sure BitTorrent is cheaper than either
[03:44]	MinceR	and also better
[03:44]	MinceR	it's insane that the content owners insist on providing a worse service than what we can get for free, and demand that they be paid for their inferior service
[03:45]	MinceR	(claims to own something that can be replicated effectively without cost being ridiculous notwithstanding)
[03:46]	IsambardPrince	You have purchased this title on Amazon.
[03:47]	IsambardPrince	"Great, so I can lend my mother this copy I have purchased?"
[03:47]	IsambardPrince	No, that would be "unethical"/
[03:49]	IsambardPrince	Oh this is nice. $29.99 for this one for the Region A and $18.48 for the Blu Ray of the same movie, imported from the UK, but Region B.
[03:50]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Like the Oral B toothbrush heads that cost half as much in the UK and are cheaper to import than buy here.
[03:50]	IsambardPrince	They haven't figured out a way to region lock toothbrush heads yet, I guess.
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, If the Romans used crushed eggs and pumice for toothpaste, and urine for mouth rinse, do we really want to know what the floss was?
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	Just wondering.

[04:00]	MinceR	i don't think it would hurt to know
[04:00]	MinceR	but it also doesn't seem terribly important
[04:05]	IsambardPrince	Meh, just makes you wonder what life was like. Difficult, I imagine.
[04:08]	MinceR	it's still difficult

[04:24]	IsambardPrince	The program actually covered illegal immigrants.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	Legal immigrants have the same access to Medicaid and ACA and employer plans they qualified for before (or Medicare if they have a green card).
[04:27]	IsambardPrince	They don't even mention the fraud.
[04:28]	IsambardPrince	They had people enrolling 3-4 times, giving cards to their friends, lying about their birthday so they could be 42 and enroll, staying on it after they got a green card or US citizenship (where they'd be partially federal funded on Medicaid), providers billing for patients they never saw.

[10:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	Do you really think we were waking up like, Oh, I guess theres nothing to do today because AI wrote all my code. Might as well chill and do nothing.
[10:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	No. We were all doing real work.
[10:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	Every single one of the 7,000 people who got laid off yesterday had a real job. We woke up with active projects, with tasks in progress - and then everything was suddenly cut.
[10:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	Not even our managers knew. Not even their managers knew. There was no warning. No planning. No transition.
[10:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	This isnt about AI. This is a puppet show to drive stock prices up and down.
[10:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	Any company claiming AI is writing all the code now is straight-up lying to you. AI can help us write code - sure - but its nowhere near the point where it can replace a software engineer, let alone 7,000 of us.
[10:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	Dont be d-mb.

[12:57]	TR News	When GAFAM gives "shares" to workers instead of salaries it still leaves the shares in the hands of the companies; in other words, they can deny access to the money if the worker "upsets" the company, even after leaving. Really really bad. Control mechanism. Corruption. Unlike pension rules.
[12:58]	TR News	Worse yet, GAFAM keeps track of who sells their shares, so workers can get "flagged" for not "believing" in the employer. Loyalty by deterrence, offloading the risk to workers, who get paid in Ponzi money instead of real money. They are forced to participate.

[23:16]	IsambardPrince	I washed the car a few days ago.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	Then we got a sandstorm and it looked like I drove through the Sahara.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	So I had to go wash it again today.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	Lucky I have a kit so it only costs me about 10 cents and some elbow grease.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	The line to use the car washes was wrapped around and back out onto the road.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	LOL
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	$16, eat my butt.
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	You spend $16 at the wash, it takes you half an hour with your engine running to even get up there, so there went another half a gallon of gas.
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	So really, what? $18 or so?
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	You get in there, they charge $16, and apparently they can't use any soap, so you come out and still have a bunch of crap all over the car.
