| DaemonFC[m] | Mom's friend Jose, from Mexico, who likes to say "Well I came here the legal way! Why can't they?" ended up in the hospital with it. | Dec 18 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC[m] | The doctors at the hospital didn't give him any FDA approved treatment even though he ended up in the ICU on a ventilator. | Dec 18 00:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No antibodies (while Secretary Azar says we have so many we don't even know what to do with it all), no remdesivir (even though it's relatively cheap by American standards compared with the hospital bill itself and was FDA approved in like June). Nothing,. | Dec 18 00:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And this is the sort of Mickey Mouse operation that Trump is running which is causing twice as many people to die. | Dec 18 00:02 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: It seems like just getting the first COVID vaccine shot gives decent protection. | Dec 18 00:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They say the worst side effects tend to happen after the second shot. | Dec 18 00:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Wonder if I should just take the first dose. | Dec 18 00:35 |
| *vZS1 (~vZS1@host-92-20-231-81.as13285.net) has joined #techrights | Dec 18 00:35 | |
| schestowitz | why only the second? | Dec 18 00:35 |
| schestowitz | if they don't say why, it makes little sense | Dec 18 00:35 |
| schestowitz | unless the second is different | Dec 18 00:35 |
| schestowitz | not just in dosage | Dec 18 00:35 |
| schestowitz | that's like saying alcohol is healthy | Dec 18 00:35 |

| *birkoff (birkoff@gateway/shell/ircnow/x-locoillzmepqphkh) has joined #techrights | Dec 18 00:36 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, the study participants say that the first shot gave them a sore arm or something like a normal vaccine. | Dec 18 00:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then after the second part, they got bad chills, headache, fever, all kinds of stuff. | Dec 18 00:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that given what we know, the state of Illinois did the right thing by not holding any of the initial doses back for the second shot. | Dec 18 00:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We don't even know what we'll get, really, because the federal government keeps updating it and going you know what....SURPRISE...It's half of what we told you last time. | Dec 18 00:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the number keeps jumping around because Pfizer can't even deliver on what they already contracted for the first time. | Dec 18 00:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, so it sounded like we were going to get a lot and then the election happened and now they're telling us it's going to be a slow drip of shipments. | Dec 18 00:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not going to be anything close to the number of shipments where we'll see the virus numbers start to subside for a very long time. | Dec 18 00:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're saying most people won't be able to get a vaccine shot until next summer. | Dec 18 00:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And 6 months under a siege like this is an eternity and at this rate there won't be many people who haven't already gotten sick and recovered. | Dec 18 00:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or died. | Dec 18 00:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump isn't really coordinating with the Biden administration and so they're still having access getting the facts as they come in about what day 1 is going to look like. | Dec 18 00:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only reason the GSA backed down and started the transition is that it was becoming clear that the lady running it was going to be in contempt of Congress pretty soon (which either chamber, by itself, can find you in), and those charges would get delivered to Biden's Attorney General in January and she could go to jail over this. | Dec 18 00:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Democrats were getting ready to hold House hearings about why the transition hadn't started, and if she stonewalled them, the next step would be Contempt. | Dec 18 00:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only reason why the House didn't pull out Contempt charges against Trump's administration sooner is because they go to the Attorney General who decides whether to pursue or drop them. | Dec 18 00:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Republicans found Eric Holder in contempt, and Attorney General Eric Holder dismissed the charge. | Dec 18 00:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But now that the clock is running out, they could have definitely found Miss Piggy in Contempt of Congress and eventually landed her in a jail cell. | Dec 18 00:47 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Veteran's Affairs hasn't updated in a few days, schestowitz | Dec 18 00:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So that's interesting. | Dec 18 00:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I suppose that when they do, there will be hundreds of deaths that backed up and weren't reported on at the time. | Dec 18 00:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the reality is it's worse than what it looks like because they usually report about 50-60 a day. | Dec 18 00:51 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Electoral-vote dot com is engaging in some sort of fantasy where the economy comes roaring back next year. | Dec 18 00:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Biden doesn't need to do anything, they say, because the vaccine will save us all and this will blow over and then everyone will buy cars and those trips to Disney World they postponed. | Dec 18 00:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They've gone too far with that. | Dec 18 00:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump has fucked everything up so bad that the earliest the economy is going to look halfway decent again is 2022. | Dec 18 00:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's also become a favorite line that we'll recover faster because this recession is differnt. | Dec 18 00:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're all different than the last one. | Dec 18 00:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Each time you have a recession you go well shit that was bad, and you start taking steps to make sure that something exactly like that doesn't happen again, but it'll be something else. | Dec 18 00:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's always something else. The economy changes. People figure out new loopholes to work the system and get ahead of themselves. | Dec 18 00:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We have better laws about corporate accounting scandals because of a series of things like Enron, right? | Dec 18 01:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Companies figure out ways to talk that comply with the law but still leave you wondering what the hell is going on in there. | Dec 18 01:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Microsoft has turned everything into clouds and services and that way they only have to speak very broadly on what's going on. | Dec 18 01:02 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The most pointless web app ever. | Dec 18 01:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | LibreOffice, the entire suite, is 500 MB or so on Windows. Half that if you use NTFS compression on its installation folder. | Dec 18 01:03 |

| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: It's just not a serious programme. Now Oracle DB is bigger than many databases themselves, now that's serious stuff. | Dec 18 01:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Among other things, it's much harder for people to break into the USB stick or external hard drive where you have your document files. | Dec 18 01:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bill Gates ironically once said that measuring productivity by amount of code is like saying you made a better airplane because it weighs more. | Dec 18 01:05 |

| DaemonFC[m] | "About once a week, macOS 10.15.7 loses the ability to play video. Press play and it goes super-fast-forward all the way to the end. Scrubbing while paused works, but any attempt to play fails in any app using AVPlayer -- not just QuickTime Player, but also jwztv and even "Notes". VLC works, but obviously that doesn't help me." | Dec 18 02:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One person notes that "coreaudiod" used to do this to him a lot and killing it and letting it respawn fixed the problem. | Dec 18 02:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Oddly, as much as Mozilla has gone through, Firefox still seems snappier and more responsive on Windows than the incumbent web browser. | Dec 18 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's kind of surprising that Firefox keeps a search deal going with Bing, which is telling people it's unsafe to use Firefox. | Dec 18 19:38 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Some guy sitting there has to keep up with it as they stamp papers. | Dec 18 19:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump issued a flurry of unconstitutional and illegally implemented immigration rules and the courts have gone back and forth knocking them over and putting them back in or knocking them down as it pertains to some people, but not in Illinois, and then nevermind it's in Illinois too now, and now it's struck down again. | Dec 18 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No time to appeal it this time and they'd just go away again under Biden even if he managed. | Dec 18 19:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Luckily, it seems he's so tied up ranting and raving about the election while his cabinet is resigning and hitting jobs posting websites, that it's all over except the pardons and January 20th. | Dec 18 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Russians even managed to invade pretty much every high level US government agency and make off with god knows what, and all Trump can do is continue to tweet about his election loss from the shitter. | Dec 18 19:52 |

| psydroid | it looks like some kind of identity crisis | Dec 18 21:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems that if you leave the touchpad on while you have a bluetooth mouse connected, there's a lot of lag and jitter with the bluetooth mouse. | Dec 18 21:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So having it turn the touchpad off while the bluetooth mouse is connected seems to solve some of that. | Dec 18 21:08 |
| *kupi has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) | Dec 18 21:16 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems Windows 10 has problems dealing with a touchpad that's on and a mouse, which causes some sort of strange polling errors. | Dec 18 21:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you tell it disable the touchpad while the mouse is on, it will be much less aggravating. | Dec 18 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems the highest speed anything can actually connect to my router at is 144 Mbps, even in N-only mode. | Dec 18 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But in mixed-mode Windows was reporting that it was falling back to 130 Mbps. | Dec 18 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So by setting it to N-only you can get a little more out of it, but nothing approaching what the router says it's capable of. | Dec 18 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I suppose it's still doing everything I need and more though. | Dec 18 21:45 |
