DaemonFC[m]This is the first landlord that didn't charge me any deposit for the cats.Oct 17 00:15
DaemonFC[m]Just one month's worth of rent.Oct 17 00:16
DaemonFC[m]That's the most lenient deposit I've seen in a long time.Oct 17 00:16
DaemonFC[m]I was about to pay two month's and $150 for the cats just on the deposit at that other place.Oct 17 00:16

DaemonFC[m]Most of them also want "cat rent".Oct 17 00:19
DaemonFC[m]That way they can get a constant supply of blood from you.Oct 17 00:20
DaemonFC[m]I laughed when one of them told me that.Oct 17 00:21
DaemonFC[m]I said, "Oh yeah, well I'll just tell them to get jobs.".Oct 17 00:21
DaemonFC[m]"You know, if you look in the morning, Bobbi puts her little work boots on and takes the bus right down to the Lincoln Park Zoo. She's their red panda. They just fool you by putting the exhibit so far away."Oct 17 00:22
DaemonFC[m]"I'm sure she's good for the $15 a month."Oct 17 00:22

DaemonFC[m]When I lived in an apartment in Muncie in 2004 and they charged me $5 a month to have a cat I thought it was excessive.Oct 17 00:47
DaemonFC[m]They already charged me a deposit to cover any damage it may have done.Oct 17 00:47
DaemonFC[m]Now it's caught on and most landlords want $15 per month per cat.Oct 17 00:47
DaemonFC[m]It's just one of life's little ripoffs that most people go along with because it's that or move, and it's getting more difficult to rent from a landlord that isn't a sack of shit and posts reasonable rents and then you get in the office and they start wheeling and dealing like a used car salesman.Oct 17 00:48
DaemonFC[m]Like, "Oh, you need to pay $10 for trash removal too.".Oct 17 00:49
DaemonFC[m]So I go, "So, tell me. Can you rent an apartment without having trash removal?".Oct 17 00:49

DaemonFC[m]She looks at me, and goes "No.". I said, "Okay, so why don't you just charge $10 more in rent?". Oct 17 00:49
DaemonFC[m]She says "Well then it wouldn't say $690 a month.".Oct 17 00:50
DaemonFC[m]I go, "Oh, so it's $700 but if you take trash out and bill separately, you get in the sort by price listings first and $690 sounds less than $700 because of number bias.".Oct 17 00:51

vZS1aHdksSQKx2txI've run successful scans with Tesseract beforeOct 17 19:11
vZS1aHdksSQKx2txA bit of scripting knowledge and you can get pretty much any book OCRd in minutesOct 17 19:11
vZS1aHdksSQKx2txDiagrams are the only tedious partOct 17 19:11
vZS1aHdksSQKx2txThe most tedious is when you just have a physical copy and need to make scans per pageOct 17 19:12
vZS1aHdksSQKx2txThat's why a lot of publishers only do physical copies now. It's a bit more of a deterrent to OCR because of how time-consuming the process isOct 17 19:13
vZS1aHdksSQKx2txUnless you have specialised equipment but that's not very commonOct 17 19:13
schestowitzcubexyz: you can automate the rippingOct 17 19:22
schestowitzand once it's done, with tripod if not screen capture for videos, it can be shared unencumbered, which shows how dumb this whole DRM endeavour isOct 17 19:23
schestowitzif you can see if, then you can rip it and reasonably high quality if you have certain equipmentOct 17 19:23

vZS1aHdksSQKx2txI don't think DRM would be much of a problem to rip with people who know what they're doing on *nix systems. Pretty sure audio and video streams are pretty easy to redirect.Oct 17 19:44
