| IsambardPrince | Oddly the city's health department chose flucelvax and fluzone as their regular and high dose flu shots. They could have used Flublok for both groups. | Oct 17 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| IsambardPrince | I don't know what they paid per dose but the cash price with a drug discount card is about $20-25 per dose for Flublok. | Oct 17 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | And it's about $50-60 for flucelvax and fluzone. | Oct 17 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It's possible that they do some sort of bulk procurement that gets them a better price. | Oct 17 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | The State tried doing this with road salt but nobody bid this year. | Oct 17 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They wanted to cause a shortage at the state level so they could sell it more expensively to the county and city level governments. | Oct 17 00:37 |

| IsambardPrince | Landlords in Chicago area are like "$1800 1 br, no pets, 4x income, tenant pays all utilities, several junk fees that are not optional but also not in listed rent, landlord provides just enough pest control that the roaches aren't a highly visible disaster. Applicant must have no bankruptcies, no defaults, no medical bills, a 700+ FICO score, $250 per applicant fee for a credit check that costs the landlord $29, and a pony." | Oct 17 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Then when you get in, the landlord will happily ignore all the tenants that are breeding cockroaches, chainsmoking, and have the police and mental health caseworkers banging on my front door, while they text and email me vague threats about watching TV. | Oct 17 01:53 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.bbc.co.uk | White House press secretary Katie Zacharia leaving role days after taking job - BBC News | Oct 17 02:31 | |
| IsambardPrince | <schestowitz[TR2]> did she announce it ok? | Oct 17 02:31 |
| IsambardPrince | She didn't announce it. | Oct 17 02:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump did. | Oct 17 02:31 |
| IsambardPrince | He said that he "encouraged her to reconsider the role". | Oct 17 02:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Now the news reports that she is "transitioning out of the role". | Oct 17 02:32 |
| IsambardPrince | I thought that 5 days into a job one was typically transitioning in. | Oct 17 02:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Most jobs I've had say that for the first 2-3 weeks you're in training or for the first 90 days you're a temp. | Oct 17 02:33 |
| IsambardPrince | I've never heard of 5 days being a full career before. | Oct 17 02:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Except maybe White House Secretary or Liz Truss. | Oct 17 02:33 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], We went to Sam's Club today. It's amazing that with how shitty Walmart is, Sam's Club which is the same company is very different. | Oct 17 02:34 |
| IsambardPrince | High quality merchandise, sold cheaply. | Oct 17 02:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The catch is you usually have to buy a lot, but not always. | Oct 17 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Today I got three pounds of beef stew meat for about $20. | Oct 17 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | That's $15 cheaper than the supermarket. | Oct 17 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Walmart got rid of meat cutters in 2001. | Oct 17 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Sam's Club still has them | Oct 17 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Whoever completely enshittified Walmart is obviously not running Sam's. | Oct 17 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Peak Walmart was definitely the 90s, but they weren't too bad in the 2000s either. | Oct 17 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They knew their place. | Oct 17 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | People went there because they were on a budget. | Oct 17 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Now it's expensive and they're like fuck it, we're McDonald's now. You know we're a tech company that charges $14 for a nasty burger and nasty fries. | Oct 17 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | We throw billions in the trash on IBM and Microsoft stuff that's completely unusable. | Oct 17 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Then we pass the cost on to you when you're just here to buy cat litter and socks. | Oct 17 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | We will sell NFTs someday, not really. | Oct 17 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Now we experiment with crypto wallets. | Oct 17 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Now we don't take that. | Oct 17 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Now you will pay with Walmart Pay and we blocked NFC, oh wait nobody is using Walmart Pay, we bought new terminals with NFC. | Oct 17 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | We are replacing all cashiers with self-checkout. No wait, now theft is up more than we paid the cashiers. | Oct 17 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Now we're ripping out the self-checkouts we just paid for. | Oct 17 02:41 |

| *parsifal has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Oct 17 03:11 | |
| nobody | it's fascinating how USA insisted upon sanctions, all of the sudden when those were lifted would EU and anyone else again be permitted to deal with russian oil/gas? | Oct 17 03:21 |
| nobody | or is it a special exemption for the godking of USA and his clan exclusively then? | Oct 17 03:22 |
| nobody | because EU officially doesn't permit any trade with russian oil/gas | Oct 17 03:23 |
| nobody | to be fair with trumpovitsch, it wasn't him alone who dictated this contradicting agenda | Oct 17 03:24 |
| nobody | everyone must be forbidden to import oil/gas and implement "renewable energy" carbon-taxation to route money into US stocks | Oct 17 03:24 |
| nobody | except USA themselves | Oct 17 03:25 |
| *cow_20012 (~username@wusiwah4aa7ye.irc) has joined #techrights | Oct 17 03:26 | |
| nobody | and how would mid-term elections in USA change anything, as if the democrats there would have been any different, except for articulation style | Oct 17 03:27 |
| nobody | wish-thinking diesel prices would drop merely by voting in favor "democrat" politics Mamdani style | Oct 17 03:28 |
| nobody | i couldn't have ever imagined to watch news one day, ukraine and russia detonating each other's energy infrastructure, and USA begging for supplies re-routed from there as a favor in return | Oct 17 03:29 |
| nobody | in a way thanks to trump this agenda was made public for attention the world all over | Oct 17 03:33 |
| nobody | even conflict parties such as Russian and Ukraine might scratch their head each alike, over what's going on | Oct 17 03:34 |
| nobody | or how should Kremlin explain to their population, Ukraine was attacking russian energy infrastructure and oil refineries with weapons supplies from "the west" | Oct 17 03:35 |
| nobody | doing exactly what ukraine was supposed to "over-extend and unbalance Russia" (RAND corp, end quote) | Oct 17 03:35 |
| MinceR | Agent Krasnov is trying to fight inflation by throwing the Ukrainians under the bus | Oct 17 03:36 |
| nobody | meanwhile in Kiev civilian population is leaving the city ahead of a harsh winter, as a consequence of all this | Oct 17 03:36 |
| nobody | and now USA in particular demand emergency supplies of diesel from Russia and Ukraine | Oct 17 03:38 |
| nobody | emergency supplies which would last less than a day at current rate of consumption | Oct 17 03:39 |
| nobody | besides it too was EU and Japan who had to get down on their knees, for appeasement | Oct 17 03:41 |
| nobody | MinceR: thanks for the hint | Oct 17 03:44 |
| nobody | if it was ukrainian alone | Oct 17 03:44 |
| MinceR | of course, Agent Krasnov's trouble is mainly because he jumped into this pointless war on Iran (alongside Israel) | Oct 17 03:45 |
| nobody | in germany here politics try to boil up anger against ukraine currently | Oct 17 03:45 |
| MinceR | while nazi america's oil reserves were empty, afaik | Oct 17 03:45 |
| MinceR | wonderful planning | Oct 17 03:45 |
| nobody | i think neither the Iran-confrontation nor abstaining from it would have changed anything | Oct 17 03:46 |
| nobody | there's just the amount of wishthink energy available | Oct 17 03:46 |
| nobody | *just not available | Oct 17 03:46 |
| MinceR | it caused iran to close the strait of hormuz, which is interfering with the ability of some states in the area to export their hydrocarbons | Oct 17 03:46 |
| MinceR | reducing supply increases price | Oct 17 03:47 |
| nobody | with or without a refinery capacity surplus, refineries can only process the amounts of crude oil that's available | Oct 17 03:47 |
| nobody | and only supplies that really existed can be shipped throgh straits of hormuz | Oct 17 03:47 |
| nobody | i think the advertized amounts didn't exist to begin with, but accounting tampered to maximize profits | Oct 17 03:47 |
| nobody | and this too contradicted the idea to cash-in another surplus of carbon-tax too, which is what sponsored "renewable energy" "AI" and "Tesla" | Oct 17 03:49 |
| nobody | that's the plot from California, a "democrat" one | Oct 17 03:49 |
| nobody | in germany here, politics argue Krasnov style sanctioned Nord Stream merely had to re-open and all problems vanished | Oct 17 03:54 |
| nobody | i have another theory, that is highest ranking politics and intelligence agencies wouldn't at least know themselves anymore how many energy/oil supplies really existed | Oct 17 03:54 |
| nobody | because they can't investigate each individual energy bill for accounting fraud, they receive a total aggregate of data only of total amounts of energy billed to customers | Oct 17 03:56 |
| nobody | and based all their assumptions and propaganda on lies they began to believe themselves | Oct 17 03:56 |
| nobody | such as USA might believe they could have squeezed out a little more from Russia or Ukraine or Iran or EU, when in reality there wasn't any surplus remaining to squeeze out | Oct 17 03:57 |
| nobody | regardless of oppressive measures taken | Oct 17 03:57 |
| nobody | and there's something else i couldn't comprehend, officially USA argued they were the world leading producer of refined oil products | Oct 17 03:58 |
| nobody | how then wouldn't they just process crude oil themselves in their own refineries instead of importing ready-made diesel from russia? | Oct 17 03:59 |
| nobody | iran isn't the only supplier of crude oil | Oct 17 03:59 |
| nobody | or doesn't USA have the refining capacity at least to process crude oil themselves they need? | Oct 17 04:00 |
| nobody | there could be one explanation for this, because oil products were rather cheap in USA, as a consequence petroleum industry might have to operate under economic pressure to sell with very low margins | Oct 17 04:01 |
| MinceR | Agent Krasnov could have just stopped being such a gigantic pussy and attacked iran for real | Oct 17 04:02 |
| MinceR | maybe with cruise missiles, maybe with nukes, maybe with ground forces | Oct 17 04:02 |
| nobody | as a consequence reducing their refining capacity in USA, because refining oil products elsewhere and importing refined products was cheaper than domestic | Oct 17 04:02 |
| nobody | well, but deploying cruise missiles wherever doesn't supply USA with refined diesel | Oct 17 04:03 |
| nobody | tampering energy bills doesn't neither | Oct 17 04:03 |
| nobody | rather the opposite, once missiles were deployed detonating russian and ukrainian energy infrastructure, all of the sudden those couldn't supply any further | Oct 17 04:06 |
| nobody | and it's interesting how some refined-oil product, Diesel namely, is short in supplies | Oct 17 04:06 |
| nobody | i've not yet seen any report which mentiones a shortage of un-refined crude oil | Oct 17 04:07 |
| nobody | another economic spin, crude oil itself is worthless, no value by itself, it's human brains, work and engineering of petroleum industry which adds all the value to it, in refineries | Oct 17 04:08 |
| nobody | there's several possible explanations, why USA now wouldn't simply refine their diesel themselves domestically instead of importing it from Russia | Oct 17 04:13 |
| *IsambardPrince has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Oct 17 04:15 | |
| nobody | couldn't USA just not import a tad bit more crude and refine a diesel reserve that lasts less than a day? | Oct 17 04:16 |
| nobody | because the recent madness to lift sanctions and releasing global emergency reserves escalated over a supply of 14hours | Oct 17 04:18 |
| nobody | (legal regulations in germany demand an emergency supply stored to sustain several weeks, not 14 hours only that ignited political turmoil) | Oct 17 04:19 |
| nobody | in germany meanwhile a record low LNG/methane storage was reported ahead of this winter, although USA said they would supply EU/germany while russia was sanctioned | Oct 17 04:20 |
| nobody | all i received was excessively tampered energy bills | Oct 17 04:21 |
| *IsambardPrince (~IsambardPrince@njkz4yzqycqnw.irc) has joined #techrights | Oct 17 04:21 | |
| nobody | another question is, just in case if USA petroleum industry operated at a long-term deficite | Oct 17 04:22 |
| nobody | if consumption couldn't be lowered a tad bit, in USA | Oct 17 04:22 |
| nobody | and most related problems vanished then, no more hysteria over a supply gap of 14hours to operate US industry with diesel (which is a rather low reserve) | Oct 17 04:24 |
| nobody | it's interesting too, although most production of commodity goods was outsourced to china, in USA industry couldn't dampen diesel consumption a bit by lowering industrial manufacturing a bit | Oct 17 04:25 |
| nobody | in germany here mass lay-offs in industry are explained with a shortage of LNG/methane instead | Oct 17 04:26 |
| nobody | methane and diesel are a different thing though, re-opening sanctioned nord-stream wouldn't supply diesel hence because it supplied LNG | Oct 17 04:26 |
| nobody | Frankfurt airport in germany reported a shortage of aircraft Kerosine (which isn't diesel either) | Oct 17 04:28 |
| nobody | that's three different types of refined products a shortage was reported for at different places: lng/methane, diesel, and kerosine | Oct 17 04:30 |
| nobody | which raises another question: if and how much the Iran adventure of agent krasnov might have accelerated the shortage crisis by military demands | Oct 17 04:31 |
| *parsifal (~parsifal@7uxr773xda83e.irc) has joined #techrights | Oct 17 04:31 | |
| nobody | wouldn't be the first time in history a war was lost due to shortage of supplies | Oct 17 04:34 |
| nobody | if there's no supplies sold, saudis and iran can't maximize profits arbitrarily either | Oct 17 04:37 |
| nobody | a long term effect of the "green paradox", profits were maxed out, and can't sustain anymore | Oct 17 04:38 |
| nobody | even saudi and iran could only sell what they really have | Oct 17 04:38 |
| nobody | it's been a bad deal for germany i think, alot of what's supplied here is funneled into the diasporas and their luxury vehicles | Oct 17 04:40 |
| nobody | and i think it's not low income "social security" at stake mainly, but high-income luxury vehicles which supplies are simply insufficient for | Oct 17 04:41 |
| nobody | there's no relevant amounts remaining to squeeze out from lowest income to re-fuel those for cheap | Oct 17 04:42 |
| nobody | and why should germany insist on re-opening Nord-Stream, with LNG terminals attached nearby for import/export business with USA? | Oct 17 04:45 |
| nobody | at that point i would too raise a question mark over NATO secretary Rutte and Netherland harbor business | Oct 17 04:46 |

| IsambardPrince | Kept giving me a tide pod every time I pressed the button. | Oct 17 04:49 |
| nobody | but that's been a misnomer from the beginning, because it's always been heavy oil/energy industries which subsidized AI and "renewable" | Oct 17 04:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Had to sit through a 30 second ad each time but I got a lot of Tide. | Oct 17 04:49 |

| IsambardPrince | I doubt they've forgotten though. | Oct 17 04:52 |
| nobody | that's an interesting economic thought: "Dutch Disease" got boosted by the AI renewable hyper bubble boom sponsored with cheap oil/energy | Oct 17 04:54 |
| nobody | there's just been no other "competitive" sector remaining other than those | Oct 17 04:54 |
| nobody | and this is what is diagnosed for german economy: declining competitivenes since when industry was fueled with "cheap russian gas" for decades | Oct 17 04:55 |
| nobody | all else other than car maker labor union interests was considered "non-productive" here | Oct 17 04:55 |
| nobody | that's a co-morbidity of petroleum industry and the renewable AI bubble | Oct 17 04:56 |
| nobody | it's just been far too much power in the hands of far too few people for far too long who made all those decisions | Oct 17 04:57 |
| nobody | former GDR economy collapsed, due to over-investments and mis-allocation of resources, seeking to compete on global markets with semiconductors | Oct 17 04:59 |

| nobody | it's too known nowadays, "central committee" (PolitbΓΌro) didn't listen to the reports of their own secret service in the end | Oct 17 05:04 |

| nobody | one couldn't speak out load anymore 2+2 equals 4, regardless of what big brother dictated | Oct 17 05:05 |
| nobody | i think, the whole energy accounting must be fixed first, before any political or economic discussion could even start, in germany/eu | Oct 17 05:06 |
| nobody | GDR collapsed for another related reason, that was shortly before soviet union denied oil supplies asked for | Oct 17 05:08 |
| nobody | nowadays i suspect, nothing could be agreed to when it didn't exist anyway, any imaginary surplus of supplies | Oct 17 05:09 |
| nobody | i deeply distrust EU still, for historical reasons too, i've not forgotten 90s collapse of GDR, and who had benefit from it | Oct 17 05:10 |
| nobody | i'm not mourning this collapse at all, i'm bitter over what followed thereafter | Oct 17 05:11 |
| nobody | i don't miss "democracy" in particular either, after all GDR considered itself "democratic republic", i know what it's been before 1990s and which jokes were made about it | Oct 17 05:12 |
| nobody | i too know what "democracy" was supposed to be ever since germany got "re-united" and EU dictate imposed | Oct 17 05:12 |
| nobody | it's more the fact another promise was violated: freedom, law and order, and what's known as consitutional state | Oct 17 05:13 |
| nobody | that is even a government should be bound by rules and law, instead of constantly violating it for bargain (renewable lobbyism, Euro currency regulations etc. etc.) | Oct 17 05:14 |

| IsambardPrince | Well, in C it goes like this. If it's valid and well-written and the compiler breaks it or the library does something bad, then that's a bug that needs to be fixed somewhere else without breaking other programs. | Oct 17 07:36 |
| IsambardPrince | In Rust, it's more like, you can write perfect code, but then they break the compiler and runtime, and it's now your job to make conforming changes, even though you wrote the code like they said to. | Oct 17 07:37 |

| IsambardPrince | Eventually she gives up and then I toss her a treat and she goes running for it. | Oct 17 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | This way I can distract her while going through less treats. | Oct 17 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | I ordered a cat tree on Amazon. I got a pretty good deal on it. | Oct 17 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | I hope she likes it more than my entertainment center. | Oct 17 19:39 |

| IsambardPrince | As far as deplatforming goes, well, Libera decided to go that route. | Oct 17 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they have Brandon Lobster harassing people, with their blessing. | Oct 17 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | And posting about his transgender surgery in the middle of Free Software chatrooms. | Oct 17 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | And so did Debian's IRC network. | Oct 17 19:44 |
| *parsifal has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Oct 17 19:44 | |
| IsambardPrince | Libera was citing Swedish laws that don't apply to me. | Oct 17 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Sort of like how Canadian laws are null and void here. | Oct 17 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | You can't apply a Canadian law that has no counterpart in the US or a US State to an American who has never been to Canada. | Oct 17 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | It's the same with Sweden. | Oct 17 19:46 |
| *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights (Error from remote client) | Oct 17 19:46 | |
| IsambardPrince | They don't extradite people to Canada over joking about transgender surgery because there's no law here that makes that illegal and Canada's not going to pay for an international extradition over this. | Oct 17 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | A joke that merely offends is not illegal in the US. | Oct 17 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The Supreme Court has routinely held that speech isn't a crime unless it incites some sort of (physically) dangerous panic or rises to the level of a true threat. | Oct 17 19:48 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no chance that a joke about a vaginaplasty incites panic that causes people to get trampled to death trying to escape a building, and it's not a true threat. | Oct 17 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Therefore, it is not a crime. | Oct 17 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Also, making idle threats of suicide doesn't qualify. | Oct 17 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | The authorities here don't respond to a person who is making idle threats and "holding themselves hostage" merely to try to get the state to attack someone for them. | Oct 17 19:50 |
| IsambardPrince | They see right through this immediately. | Oct 17 19:50 |
| IsambardPrince | The only way you'd actually potentially be facing problems with the authorities is if someone actually went ahead and killed themselves and blamed you for something they said. | Oct 17 19:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of these people are way too narcissistic to kill themselves. | Oct 17 19:51 |
| IsambardPrince | So not much danger there. | Oct 17 19:51 |

| IsambardPrince | Illinois has historically tried to silence free speech, it did not go well. | Oct 17 19:52 |
| IsambardPrince | At least as far as state action. | Oct 17 19:52 |
| IsambardPrince | The Nazi Party did get to march. | Oct 17 19:53 |
| IsambardPrince | The real trouble for them came from the public reaction to it, not the government stopping them. | Oct 17 19:53 |
| IsambardPrince | The Village of Skokie tried to pass laws regulating protests to decide what they got to wear during the march, how many people there could be, and they had to get a permit to have a protest. | Oct 17 19:54 |
| IsambardPrince | And the courts threw out all of this. | Oct 17 19:54 |
| IsambardPrince | There's actually still a Nazi Party in Illinois. They keep fielding a candidate every once in a while near here. | Oct 17 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They ran a guy who admits he's a Neo Nazi for the Congressional District around Skokie as recently as likt 2018 I think. | Oct 17 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | There's also a "Revolutionary Communist Party". | Oct 17 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They're mostly black. | Oct 17 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They live in South Chicago. | Oct 17 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It spreads the same way as Nation of Islam. | Oct 17 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Mostly among criminal offenders. | Oct 17 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not a Marxist-Lenninist Party, it's just a party of pissed off cons. | Oct 17 19:57 |

| IsambardPrince | I voted for the Libertarian Party at the county level this year. | Oct 17 19:58 |

| IsambardPrince | According to the Lobster that qualifies as Nazism. The idea that the government shouldn't suppress merely offensive speech. | Oct 17 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It cheapens the label of what a Nazi is. | Oct 17 19:59 |

| IsambardPrince | The Nazis were some pretty bad dudes, to say the least. | Oct 17 19:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but the marchcer need to hide their motives | Oct 17 19:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like nazis who don't declare their true intentions | Oct 17 19:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and then they can march | Oct 17 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They put their insane racial hatred over and above the preservation of the state. | Oct 17 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Which is just bizarre. | Oct 17 19:59 |

| IsambardPrince | In the last couple years of the war when the German military desperately needed trains, fuel, men, and equipment, the Nazis redirected those resources that they needed to defend their borders, to the Holocaust. | Oct 17 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | That's how bad they were. | Oct 17 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Their war was conducted poorly because it had to be. | Oct 17 20:00 |

| MinceR | lol | Oct 17 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Part of the Nazi platform said the war had to be about revenge against the people who inflicted the Treaty of Versailles on them. That necessitated invading France and trying to wage war on the UK. | Oct 17 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | For the most part, the opening of the war went pretty well. They quickly captured a lot of territory, sometimes with minimal resistance, or even none at all. | Oct 17 20:02 |
| IsambardPrince | I could see why they prioritized capturing Norway, I mean military reasons. | Oct 17 20:03 |
