| Sompi | Now they are planning to build a data center to my town too... | Apr 18 01:40 |
| Sompi | This is ridiculous. These data centers of hundreds of megawatts are popping up literally everywhere, less than 20 km from each other | Apr 18 01:40 |
| Sompi | And the municipal councils always prepare the zoning for them in a hurry, this happens in every municipality | Apr 18 01:41 |
| Sompi | And then they say that we need more wind farms because of these data centers... | Apr 18 01:42 |
| Sompi | There's already three of them being built in this town, except that one of them went to administrative court because they are trying to build it on a nature reservation area | Apr 18 01:42 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: There was a judge in Indiana that got pulled over a lot for drunk driving. | Apr 18 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | As soon as the cops saw who it was, they "forgot" that it happened. | Apr 18 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | But it was an inside joke at the local police station, and the Sheriff's department. | Apr 18 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | They'd pull over OTHER drunk drivers, and this judge would throw the book at them. | Apr 18 02:37 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I was talking about mom's poor budget choices, and then where she scrimps to save a dollar. | Apr 18 19:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Tide came out with a watered down product called Tide Simply. | Apr 18 19:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It sells for a bit less money than regular Tide, but it's missing half the cleaning ingredients and has more water in it. | Apr 18 19:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | SimpltyCrap? | Apr 18 19:08 |
| IsambardPrince | She started buying that stuff when she'd always used the regular Tide. | Apr 18 19:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | same here | Apr 18 19:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | like magnum in aldi | Apr 18 19:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | more water | Apr 18 19:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | diluted products | Apr 18 19:08 |
| IsambardPrince | She said that it works fine, but Consumer Reports said Tide Simply was awful. | Apr 18 19:08 |
| IsambardPrince | They said it doesn't have the stain fighting power of regular Tide and you have to use more of it to get your clothes clean. | Apr 18 19:08 |
| IsambardPrince | So like, what's the point of buying watery Tide with half the ingredients missing? | Apr 18 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | It might compare to a cheap store brand detergent, but the cheap store brand detergents are even cheaper than that. | Apr 18 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: Yeah, the cheaper the detergent the dirtier your clothes are when you take them out of the wash. | Apr 18 19:10 |
| IsambardPrince | They might get the smell out, although some don't even do that. | Apr 18 19:10 |
| IsambardPrince | I tried "La's Totally Awesome laundry detergent" from the Dollar Tree years ago. | Apr 18 19:10 |
| IsambardPrince | I thought it was okay, then mom came over and asked why it smelled like dirty laundry in my apartment. | Apr 18 19:11 |
| IsambardPrince | You get used to your own smell. That might be what's going on where she insists this Tide Simply stufff works. | Apr 18 19:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes it's a bad idea to try to save money because you get results that are not worth it. | Apr 18 19:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Like stains accumulating on expensive clothes, and the smell. | Apr 18 19:12 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I was talking to someone a couple months ago. | Apr 18 19:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Someone had a brand new BMW. | Apr 18 19:13 |
| IsambardPrince | They were letting road salt cake onto it. | Apr 18 19:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Just cake onto it. | Apr 18 19:13 |
| IsambardPrince | And I said, "thousand dollar car payment, skip the car wash, don't change the oil". | Apr 18 19:13 |
| IsambardPrince | One load of laundry can easily add up to several hundred dollars worth of clothing in one go. | Apr 18 19:14 |
| IsambardPrince | If you're using cheap detergent that's not getting it clean, then throwing it in the dryer, those clothes will get stains that never come out. Eventually you just ruin the clothes. | Apr 18 19:15 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I turn them inside out. | Apr 18 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes if there's a stain I don't, for the wash cycle anyway. | Apr 18 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | But then once the shirt is clean I turn it inside out to dry. | Apr 18 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Washing and drying will damage the graphics on t-shirts, things like that, long before they ever ruin the rest of the item. | Apr 18 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The bankruptcy debtor education said turn clothes inside out to wash, shop at Aldi, try store brands. | Apr 18 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, over 60% of all bankruptcies in America, were primarily caused by hospital bills. | Apr 18 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Lately, I can't imagine that 25% real inflation and 10% real unemployment is helping. | Apr 18 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Turning clothes inside out isn't really a big factor at this point. | Apr 18 19:35 |

| IsambardPrince | It does help to protect the graphics. | Apr 18 21:11 |
| IsambardPrince | The washer and dryer are abrasive against the graphics. | Apr 18 21:11 |
| IsambardPrince | And using better detergent means stains, dirt, and odors are effectively removed, and because the detergent is very good, you can wash in cold water where colors don't tend to fade or run. | Apr 18 21:12 |
| IsambardPrince | It's sort of like picking between motor oils for your car, and service intervals. | Apr 18 21:12 |
| IsambardPrince | None of them will prevent all wear, but some will result in less problems over time. | Apr 18 21:12 |
| IsambardPrince | But in the end, nothing lasts forever. | Apr 18 21:12 |
| IsambardPrince | You're trying to extend the time you have before the thing needs to be replaced. | Apr 18 21:13 |
| IsambardPrince | We've reached a point in motor oil and filter technology where if you service it often enough, you'll never have oil-related engine problems. | Apr 18 21:14 |
| IsambardPrince | But something else that's really expensive will eventually break even if the engine is fine. | Apr 18 21:14 |
| IsambardPrince | It's like life, you can prolong specific causes of death. | Apr 18 21:14 |
| IsambardPrince | You can even replace parts. | Apr 18 21:14 |
| IsambardPrince | But in the end, everyone dies whether they make it to 50 or 100. | Apr 18 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | I know someone who is taking care of a 100 year old man. | Apr 18 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | He asked the guy what he did for a living. He was a school teacher. | Apr 18 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | He asked how he had lived so long, and the guy laughed and said he never married or had kids. | Apr 18 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | So he avoided a lot of stress and drama. | Apr 18 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I wish I had avoided getting married. | Apr 18 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I ended up with a lot of stress and drama, for a person who was not worth any of it. | Apr 18 21:16 |

| IsambardPrince | Always wanted more, always insulted and backtalked me. | Apr 18 21:17 |
| IsambardPrince | And ended up giving me a disease (which thankfully resolved itself quickly and without symptoms). | Apr 18 21:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Like many stupid people, he's also very entitled and arrogant. | Apr 18 21:18 |
| IsambardPrince | He thinks he's much more important than he really is. | Apr 18 21:18 |
| IsambardPrince | He tried to find someone to date and started talking about all the problems he has, and they disappeared. They were the same problems he told me he had. | Apr 18 21:19 |
| IsambardPrince | There's not much of a market for people like him. | Apr 18 21:19 |
| IsambardPrince | That guy he tried to start dating was a nurse. He doesn't need Mandy for financial reasons, so people like that just get up and leave if you make them regret you half as much as he's made me regret him. | Apr 18 21:19 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't need you for anything so you have no "cards". You can't mistreat them at all, or they go away. | Apr 18 21:20 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: You made fun of Artemis the other day. | Apr 18 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | You could build Apollo spacecraft, Saturn V rockets, and the LM again. | Apr 18 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | But those were only intended to take off, land, stay a few days, and come back. | Apr 18 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | They were very expensive considering that's all they could do. | Apr 18 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | They weren't capable of setting up a long term presence on the moon. | Apr 18 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | When you're testing out something new, you have to have missions that can prove each part of the system works, and what you need to change. | Apr 18 23:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Considering that, I think Artemis is proceeding much more quickly than Apollo. Consider that just the Apollo program, not Mercury or Gemini, just Apollo, they had to have 11 missions to get to the landing. | Apr 18 23:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And the first one killed the entire crew on the launch pad during a test. | Apr 18 23:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Artemis II was a flyby. Apollo 8 was the flyby mission. | Apr 18 23:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Apollo 9 did Earth orbit testing of the LM, 10 did lunar orbit testing of the LM, but even if it had been completely fueled, the Apollo 10 LM couldn't land. | Apr 18 23:15 |
| IsambardPrince | It didn't have to. So the software wasn't ready yet, it was hundreds of pounds heavier than Apollo 11's LM. | Apr 18 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Not fueling it entirely was not just to keep the astronauts from going rogue and landing anyway. | Apr 18 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if it had all the fuel, landing would have been dangerous and ascent would have been difficult. | Apr 18 23:17 |
| IsambardPrince | You couldn't take anything from the surface with you and make it back to the CSM. | Apr 18 23:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Because the LM is too heavy. | Apr 18 23:17 |
| IsambardPrince | You couldn't just pick one astronaut to go down, because it takes two to pilot it. | Apr 18 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | NASA had some ideas for how to get back up into orbit and get to the CSM even if the LM had failed and couldn't take off. | Apr 18 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | But that was never built. | Apr 18 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | It was essentially just a jetpack that you strapped on and went to orbit in. | Apr 18 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | It's one of those things that was technically possible to do, but you wouldn't do it unless it truly was an emergency. | Apr 18 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Because using it would be dangerous. | Apr 18 23:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I wonder if there's any news on Asahi Linux and the Macbook Neo. | Apr 18 23:25 |

| IsambardPrince | ---- | Apr 18 23:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Welp, so much for Asahi? | Apr 18 23:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm so old I remember when there was only one auto drip coffeemaker that did "pause and pour". | Apr 18 23:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It was a Mr. Coffee in like 1993. | Apr 18 23:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Before that you just had to wait until it was done brewing to get a cup, whenever that was. | Apr 18 23:44 |
| IsambardPrince | If you made a full pot of coffee, you might have to wait almost 5 minutes after hitting the switch. | Apr 18 23:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I remember doing the "Indiana Jones with the idol and the bag of sand" trick with the carafe and a mug. | Apr 18 23:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Put the mug where the carafe goes, then switch back real fast and try not to burn yourself. | Apr 18 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: ^ | Apr 18 23:46 |
| MinceR | we always have coffee before radar | Apr 18 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Apr 18 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Those really old Mr. Coffee machines weren't great, and they cost a lot of money. | Apr 18 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The ones in the 70s, would cost over $300 adjusted for inflation. | Apr 18 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | But they were new so they had the market to themselves. | Apr 18 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It was that or a percolator for most people. | Apr 18 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | An interesting thing about those units though, they came out during a worldwide coffee shortage. | Apr 18 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | And there's a switch on them that says "coffee saver". | Apr 18 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | What happens when you press that switch is, theres these things that press the filter inward to stack the coffee grounds higher, so that it brews stronger, and the idea was you would use less scoops of coffee for that. | Apr 18 23:48 |
| IsambardPrince | The problem is that while it technically saved money on coffee, the coffee came out tasting more bitter, because it had been overextracted. | Apr 18 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Apr 18 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | They had some sort of bad weather in the 70s that killed a lot of coffee crops. | Apr 18 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | The funny thing was that those countries usually overproduced, and instead of figuring out a way to store the excess, they had been burning it. | Apr 18 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | A discredited UN ecologist claimed that very soon there wouldn't be any coffee because of climate change. Then if course fifty years later, there's plenty of coffee. | Apr 18 23:52 |
| MinceR | we may yet manage to exterminate coffee | Apr 18 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | I doubt it. It's more likely we'd just get less desirable coffee. | Apr 18 23:54 |
| IsambardPrince | They funnel a lot of the robusta crop to instant because arabica is better grade. | Apr 18 23:54 |
| IsambardPrince | And people who drink instant are used to crap anyway. | Apr 18 23:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Someone I know in the Philippines went to Vietnam and he was showing me how there's hundreds of coffee shops on a single street in Hanoi. | Apr 18 23:55 |
| IsambardPrince | And the price worked out to like $1.43 US I think, for a large coffee. | Apr 18 23:55 |
| IsambardPrince | It's because they have a lot of it and it's very low grade coffee. | Apr 18 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I bought some Vietnamese robusta coffee that was ground and meant for an auto-drip machine once. | Apr 18 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It was at Dollar Tree. | Apr 18 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I figured eh why not. | Apr 18 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm broke, it's $1 for a bag of coffee. | Apr 18 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I ended up throwing it away. | Apr 18 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It left some sort of plastic-like resin all over my carafe that I had to scrape off with a butter knife. | Apr 18 23:57 |
| MinceR | so you're saying we'll only have crap coffee | Apr 18 23:57 |
| MinceR | wonderful | Apr 18 23:57 |
| IsambardPrince | I didn't drink it. | Apr 18 23:58 |
