[00:03]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: I got junk email today about a "flex rent" program.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	They charge you $14.99 a month to be a "member" and then 3.5% to pay your rent through it with a credit card.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	And all they do in return is splt your rent into two payments instead of one.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	So basically all it does is make your rent about $80 more expensive so you can pay it twice instead of once.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	Cue the Captain Picard "Oh, what the fuck is this shit!?" meme.
[00:04]	MinceR	lol
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	And even if you don't use it that month they still charge you $14.99 a month to be a "member".
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	No maybe Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	Renter: "Gee this rent is awful high, can you cut me some slack?"
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	Landlord: "Best I can do is to add $83."
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: ^
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	I was watching the Akira Kurasawa adaptation of The Lower Depths a while back where the landlord says he's raising the rent again and the guy says "just hang me" and the landlord says "no profit in that".
[00:10]	MinceR	:>
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I commented:
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	Trump spent $14 million turning the Reflecting Pond at the Lincoln Memorial into an open sewer of algae, neon green, and some workers scraping it off and frantically pouring in all the hydrogen peroxide they could get at Home Depot.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	An affordability crisis and pointless war that leaves Iran $350 billion better off and with no sanctions on their oil and they get to keep their uranium too is what you'd expect from an idiot who can't manage to renovate the reflecting pond even when it went 8x over budget.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	Trump says we "won". This has to be the first time that the "winner" ever paid $350 billion in reparations to the "loser" and gave the "loser" a 14 point peace plan with everything the "loser" demanded.
[00:14]		*Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).
[00:14]		*Now talking on #techrights
[00:16]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Trump says we need to spend $1 billion to fight screw worm.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	Apparently DOGE cut $15 million to monitor for screw worm and now there was a screw worm outbreak.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	And we need a billion dollars to fight it.

[01:22]	nobody	chances are USA can confront Iran in soccer playoffs soon
[01:24]	nobody	it's on headlines here too 24/7, it's been a big win for everyone
[01:25]	nobody	at least, EU today launched their their own "social media", to become independant from Thiel and friends over there in USA
[01:26]	nobody	only downside, you need to register with a copy of your passport sent to them
[01:27]	nobody	don't know yet how much "private investors" cash was routed into this nonsense by madame president uschi of EU
[01:31]	nobody	on the news one of her "founders" girlfriends explained, porn wasn't appreciated, otherwise they would respect all freedom of speech on Uschi's EU sponsored private little chat server
[01:31]	nobody	just in case schestowitz[TR2] wanted to mock this a little, he had to do so with a copy of his passport provided
[01:31]	nobody	so it's easier for him to be sued
[01:32]	nobody	can't sleep yet
[01:35]	nobody	ah, and the founder wimmin of this EU social media crap explained, they would guarantee it's all real humans to talk to on their platform
[01:36]	nobody	as if this made any difference, those were any smarter than a chat bot
[01:38]	nobody	nothing remaining in the fridge to eat, except a milk and a piece of cheese cake
[01:39]	nobody	and it's another almost 4 hours remaining until the first grocery store opens here 6o'clock in the morning at railway station
[01:39]	nobody	i'm contemplating already, over the spicy beefsteak i'll bake myself tomorrow

[01:41]	nobody	hungarian goulash meat is expensive, because that mixes pork and cattle beef
[01:42]	nobody	i can get pure grinded pork meat for half the price, so i'll spice this up with garlic, caraway, mustard and peppers
[01:42]	nobody	totally different taste to USA made McDonalds burger meat
[01:42]		*IsambardPrince has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[01:44]	nobody	but i have to wait 4 hours plus another 1hour to prepare it, until i can eat this, because it's in the middle of the night here and all stores closed
[01:44]		*IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@pupsf4x2uvcgu.irc) has joined #techrights
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	[19:43] <IsambardPrince> If it involves tech and says women, you're lucky if it's actually women.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	[19:44] <IsambardPrince> If men want to get a paid tech internship they should say they identify as a woman and ask Brandon Lobster what sort of lipstick he wears.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	[19:44] <IsambardPrince> That's the only way that men will ever get all the help women do.
[01:45]	MinceR	i don't know where aggi takes the idea of putting pork in goulash
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	Either everyone should get a paid internship or nobody should.
[01:46]	nobody	MinceR: my mother always bought the mixed meat, half pork half beef, that's how we made Goulash in former GDR, with Letscho
[01:46]	IsambardPrince	The Outreachy program is illegal gender discrimination and men could actually sue them under the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
[01:47]	nobody	nowadays cattle beef is very expensive, i guess most of it is exported to regions where pork isn't eaten in middle-east
[01:47]	MinceR	real goulash is beef, no other meats
[01:48]	nobody	quality beef, that's ~$20/Kilogram nowadays, i can get grinded pork for $5
[01:48]	nobody	but i can't make goulash stew from this
[01:50]	MinceR	also, real goulash is a soup
[01:52]	nobody	you know, there's another variant of goulash in Czech republic, that's the Czechediner
[01:52]	nobody	which mixes german sour kraut into it
[01:52]	MinceR	i don't know that one
[01:53]	MinceR	there's this stew with sauerkraut in it though >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sz%C3%A9kelyk%C3%A1poszta
[01:53]	TR Bot	 Szkelykposzta - Wikipedia
[01:53]	nobody	Czech Szegedin Goulash Recipe: "Soft pork chunks with tangy sauerkraut gravy, so flavorful and comforting"
[01:53]	nobody	if it's well made of cause
[01:54]	nobody	and served with quality beer
[01:54]	MinceR	sounds like Szkelykposzta :>
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	[19:48] <nobody> quality beef, that's ~$20/Kilogram nowadays, i can get grinded pork for $5
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	Not much better here.
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	Trump let his criminal friend in Argentina sell uninspected beef that potentially has prion disease in the US.
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	But the price hasn't come down.
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	Just a wave of suicide and bankrupcy among the farmers who voted for him.
[01:55]	nobody	well, if it's freely roaming cattle, such meet is expensive, even more so when it's shipped around the globe
[01:56]	nobody	*meat
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	Beef prices are terrible.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	You get the best deal at wholesale clubs. 
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	But it's still expensive. You save maybe $2 a pound there.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	Wholesale clubs are mainly cheap for two reasons.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	They make their money on sales volume and membership fees.
[01:57]	nobody	tbh. i do enjoy the roast-beef, and it's available at always
[01:57]	nobody	so i got my low-budget livestyle routine, to bake one once a week, and stuff my stomach with it
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	You'll run into things at Sam's Club and Costco like the mouthwash is $2 a bottle less than Walmart, but you have to buy three of them at once.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	Things like this.
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	Or the Mach 3 heads are $1.54 each in packs of 20 compared to $1.89 each at Walmart in packs of 15.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	You save a little bit on each, so the savings add up over time. You get really big totals and it doesn't feel like you bought much but then the stuff just lasts forever because you bought so many to get that price.

[02:00]	IsambardPrince	The gas station is my favorite. It took a while to get used to it. The pumps are actually usable whichever side the gas door is on your car, although you may have to pull the pump handle to the other side of the car. Just get in whatever lane has the fewest people.
[02:00]	nobody	gasoline prices in USA are half of that in most of EU/Germany
[02:00]	nobody	imagine, $8/gallon, and that's moderate pricing here nowadays
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, but retail stations in Illinois right now are about $4.69 a gallon.
[02:01]	nobody	not to mention electricty and heating prices for the appartment
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	Meanwhile Sam's Club is selling it at $3.98 and I get 5% back from my credit card.
[02:02]	nobody	couldn't afford a car anyway, leave alone a travel to USA to watch any of the shitty soccer games over there
[02:02]	IsambardPrince	91 cents a gallon cheaper, 17 gallon tank.
[02:02]	IsambardPrince	Are we actually talking about soccer or football?
[02:02]	IsambardPrince	Europeans call everything something else.
[02:02]	nobody	and, imagine this, they didn't broadcast the friendly match USA-Germany on TV here
[02:02]	IsambardPrince	And it's not important enough to keep track of.
[02:02]	nobody	public free TV i mean
[02:02]	IsambardPrince	The only thing good that comes from Europe is some of the alcohol.
[02:03]	IsambardPrince	Which you probably need a lot of if you live in Europe.
[02:03]	IsambardPrince	So it's logical as to why they perfected it.
[02:03]	nobody	nah, i had enjoyed watching this match, i didn't watch any for 5 years (noticed when i found some rules changed, which was introduced year 2020 already)
[02:03]	IsambardPrince	Germany and the UK are the closest thing to real countries that Europe has.
[02:03]	nobody	yesterday night they didn't broadcast Norway-Iraq either
[02:03]	IsambardPrince	But that's not saying much.
[02:03]	MinceR	"soccer" is unambiguous
[02:04]	MinceR	afaik
[02:04]	IsambardPrince	France has nuclear weapons and at least one aircraft carrier.
[02:04]	IsambardPrince	So if we're talking by military, they're actually ahead of the Germans at this point.
[02:04]	nobody	IsambardPrince: how's this coming up your mind now?
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	It is a garbage continent.
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	Predominantly, they do all have one thing in common.
[02:05]	nobody	IsambardPrince: we got sub-marines and naval mine carriers
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	That a bloated inefficient government they have little control over should be in charge of every aspect of their life to the point that even Americans say god damn.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	Diesel submarines, iirc.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	Not exactly the best.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	And they're not a platform for a nuclear strike.
[02:06]	nobody	that too, and ultra low-noise hydrogen fuel-cell submarines
[02:07]	nobody	not sure, but there's torpedos and things - not that i would know of any details
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	Germany waited until the last minute to panic and realize Russia was a threat.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	After making them rich with gas purchases for years.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	And now is trying to rebuild a bunch of dodgy equipment nobody has been taking proper care of, modernize, and recruit.
[02:08]	nobody	well, whatever
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	This after an anti-war mentality has set in among the average German that is so entrenched that they don't even care if they are fighting for their country.
[02:08]	nobody	recently there's been a little dispute, because Czech republic already does operate a fleet of swedish Saab Gripen fighter yets
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	I mean, an anti-war mentality at least makes sense in the US, when it's like why the fuck should I go die in some place that doesn't even matter.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	But if someone was going to invade us, I think there wouldn't be such an attitude.
[02:09]	nobody	to fullfill NATO obligats, and germany withdrew from the German-French "future combat air system" because that's been too expensive
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	Especially Russians.
[02:09]	nobody	*obligations
[02:09]	nobody	because, a fleet of Gripen jets is just good enough, and much cheaper than F-35 and whatever else remote-controlled junk made in USA
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	Yes, Germany has been shirking for years.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	Most of Europe has been.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	Funding overly generous social welfare states at the expense of even basic military readiness.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	There's been a sea change where they finally realize that the US might not come fight their war for them.
[02:10]	nobody	now what, as if US military was shining recently, with their interventions
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	It's still more capable than anything in Europe, put together.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	Just a random smattering of our defensive capabilities have smashed thousands of Russian tanks, for example.
[02:11]	nobody	the Swedish Gripen jets are operted by Czech republic though, not Germany
[02:11]	nobody	i see no reason to worry about this
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	There's basically only one country that is a big threat to us right now.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	That's China.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	They're ascendant and they don't have all of these environmental reviews and high labor costs and a lack of investment in basic education hindering things like shipbuilding progress.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	It's not my generation that's entirely useless when it comes to intelligence and skills and work ethic.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	"GenZ" is just fucking weird.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	If the US ever becomes something like Europe it'll be because of them. They don't want to work, they're sexually perverse, there's a lot of problems in that generation.
[02:14]	nobody	you're talking about USA i gather
[02:14]	MinceR	18 030924 < IsambardPrince> Especially Russians.
[02:14]	MinceR	so, the nazi party doesn't love "russians" anymore?
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Trump is panicking and throwing in the towel on Iran.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	And giving them anything to just end the war.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	And there's a very good reason for this.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Gas prices and affordability in general. Not that he cares personally what your cost of living is.
[02:15]	nobody	Trump want's to win the mid-term elections in USA, and profiteer with some stock exchange tweaks
[02:15]	nobody	that's all there is to it
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	But if oil dosn't start flowing again soon, gasoline will be $9 a gallon here by November.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Yes, they need oil to flow again, and they're willing to do anything to make it happen.
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	Hoping that the voters will quit being pissed and forget what just happened in the span of a couple of months.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	You don't win the election with any realistic amount of cheating and disenfranchisement, with $9 gasoline and $12 diesel.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	The economy seizes up, goes into a huge recession, with hyperinflationn.
[02:17]	nobody	ironically, Trump might not win the mid-terms either with half the price either
[02:18]	nobody	most Iranian oil shipped to China i was reading
[02:18]	nobody	that's were all the goods are manufactured which Trump wanted to hit with tarriffs
[02:19]	MinceR	> If the US ever becomes something like Europe
[02:20]	MinceR	...it will be an improvement
[02:21]	nobody	i got the fealing the peace agreement which was signed today by the GodKing of USA himself in person
[02:22]	nobody	chances are this might hold for as long as soccer is played in USA, and a little while elections are held thereafter
[02:22]	nobody	and boils up anytime
[02:23]	nobody	i've picked up another headline, a USAF B-52 stratofortress did a fatal nose-dive at a californian airfield recently
[02:23]	MinceR	:>
[02:23]	nobody	really weird
[02:23]	nobody	since when do such aircraft fall out the skies? i've not heard of such incidents before, ever
[02:24]	nobody	but currently it's all soccer here talked about
[02:25]	nobody	anyway, if USAF B-52 got some weird problem, that too could explain one or another statement made by the POTUS recently
[02:25]	MinceR	new boeing developments?
[02:25]	MinceR	random bits falling off?
[02:26]	nobody	for that matter, there's been a completely other one, the AI171 dreamliner crash in India
[02:26]	nobody	whose final investigation report a year later was "postponed" or whatever
[02:26]	nobody	i kept an eye on this one for a long time
[02:27]	nobody	but i gave up on this one, we'll never know what caused the electrical glitch shutting down all engined during take-off
