[00:00]	Isambard_Prince	When a country is expelling many thousands of their citizens, they're not voluntarily giving up their best people.
[00:01]	Isambard_Prince	If you're lucky, many of them will simply be critics of the government.
[00:01]	MinceR	who might actually be their best people
[00:01]	MinceR	governments tend to be awful, and the best people tend to notice

[00:12]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I was telling the exterminator that I caught a big black bug that I thought might be a roach. He looked at it and said it was a beetle. 
[00:12]	Isambard_Prince	It was in a sticky trap.
[00:13]	Isambard_Prince	I told him I was paranoid after the last apartment building became completely infested with roaches. I said the landlord and his tenants were giving them all the garbage and water they could ever want, between living like animals and all the leaky pipes and roof.

[01:24]	TR Bot	 How Much Does It Cost to Replace My Cars Exhaust System - Car Talk
[01:24]	Isambard_Prince	Yeah, it gets really really noisy. But the cheapest parts of the exhaust are also the most likely to fail.
[01:25]	Isambard_Prince	And that's what happened to me. So it needed replaced from the resonator to the tailpipe.
[01:25]	Isambard_Prince	And that cost me $450.
[01:25]	Isambard_Prince	It's usually like $800-900 but they did it just for the cost of the parts since I was in there having major work done anyway.
[01:29]	MinceR	here people don't have their exhaust systems fixed, they just enjoy that it's louder
[01:29]	MinceR	i suspect some of them damage it deliberately
[01:52]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Yes, it's illegal to have an incredibly loud exhaust. But I hear tons of them go down the street and nothingg seems to happen to them.
[01:52]	Isambard_Prince	Mexicans
[01:52]	Isambard_Prince	I suspect they're just deleting the muffler entirely or something.
[01:53]	Isambard_Prince	If you run a straight pipe instead then you can be really annoying and it doesn't cost much.
[01:54]	MinceR	they can just cut a short section of the pipe before the/a muffler

[04:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	who would have thought?
[04:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	like "targetted advertising"
[04:00]	Isambard_Prince	They replaced an air filter and the price went up $750.
[04:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	let us just do "buy by default"
[04:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	"we'll ship you all the things we decided you NEED and WANT"
[04:00]	Isambard_Prince	They can do this with an old car.
[04:01]	Isambard_Prince	Because the new ones cost so much.
[04:01]	admfubar	like the office supply store "Staples" easy button.. reording what you bought previously without seeing the price.
[04:01]	Isambard_Prince	Mom asked why the new Civic went up $7,000.

[04:02]	Isambard_Prince	Yeah, last year it was a $23,500 car.
[04:02]	Isambard_Prince	This year it's over $30,000 for basically the same car with the same options
[04:02]	Isambard_Prince	That gets you the base model.

[06:02]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], After $9 billion in taxpayer bailouts to Intel, Nvidia "invested" $5 billion.
[06:02]	Isambard_Prince	Who is leaning on them to do that?
[06:02]	Isambard_Prince	It does not make much business sense.
[06:03]	Isambard_Prince	I can't prove this, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Trump administration is leaning on or threatening private industry to also bail out Intel.
[06:03]	Isambard_Prince	That was it doesn't look like Intel is in a crisis that requires that much money.
[06:04]	Isambard_Prince	But between the US government and Nvidia, we're already talking about something like 14% of all shares of Intel.
[06:04]	Isambard_Prince	Which is kind of a lot.
[06:04]	Isambard_Prince	Nobody wants them so they get vacuumed up with fake demand.
[06:05]	Isambard_Prince	Actual investors dump, then there's all this manufactured demand so the company doesn't go ahead and fail.
[06:06]	Isambard_Prince	Trump frames it as buying it at a really low price, yeah it dropped to that low price for a reason and would be dropping even more.
[06:07]	Isambard_Prince	They lost the Apple contract, Apple moved on and made a better cheaper Mac that's much faster and runs twice as long on a battery charge.

[06:09]	Isambard_Prince	I would really like to avoid Rust entirely but the only browsers that do are Chrome based or Epiphany.
[06:09]	Isambard_Prince	And Epiphany does not work properly outside of GNOME.
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	avoiding rust is one of two things
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	not developing in it
[06:10]	Isambard_Prince	The Flatpak assumes that you'll be running it under GNOME or the password manager doesn't work.
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	not using something developed with it
[06:10]	Isambard_Prince	The Debian package just brings in a bunch of GNOME pieces and sets them to run.
[06:10]	Isambard_Prince	Including a systemd service.

[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	i think isaw rms using Epiphany
[06:10]	Isambard_Prince	Which is the part that isn't there in the Flatpak if GNOME is not the desktop.
[06:11]	Isambard_Prince	I want less systemd services running and I certainly don't want ones from GNOME.
[06:11]	Isambard_Prince	I haven't seen anything that systemd handles well and so probably the less it's responsible for doing, the better. Especially when it's GNOME people who wrote it.
[06:12]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], You probably did, because it's licensed under the GPL v3.
[06:12]	Isambard_Prince	That does not say anything about the design choices that were made along the way.
[06:12]	Isambard_Prince	The password manager used to work fine without GNOME.
[06:12]	Isambard_Prince	So I guess they had to figure out how to break it.

[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	is that a legal def?
[06:26]	Isambard_Prince	It steals your ability to feel happiness or motivation.
[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	or something a psychologist told you?
[06:26]	Isambard_Prince	My aunt Karen fell into depression when Keith left to "become a woman".
[06:27]	Isambard_Prince	She trashed her house and ruined it.
[06:27]	Isambard_Prince	Had no motivation to do much of anything.
[06:27]	Isambard_Prince	Stopped getting out of bed on her days off. Only went to work because of my cousins. (Doing things out of guilt that you would harm others if you failed to. Not for yourself.)
[06:27]	Isambard_Prince	Retreat into fantasy (expensive trips to Disney).
[06:28]	Isambard_Prince	One time, for a little while, she came out of the depression.
[06:28]	Isambard_Prince	She started talking to a dentist on AOL in private chatrooms.
[06:28]	Isambard_Prince	She went on a diet, lost a lot of weight, started exercising and cleaned her house.
[06:29]	Isambard_Prince	Then it went right back to how it was when he said he was married and just wanted to see people on the side without his wife knowing about it.
[06:29]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], People need to feel loved and needed.
[06:30]	Isambard_Prince	When it stops entirely and nobody around them loves them and needs them, they become without purpose.
[06:30]	Isambard_Prince	And this is when people are more likely to harm themselves somehow.
[06:31]	Isambard_Prince	Some people cut, others drink or use drugs, some people do like my mother and join a church and give the church all their money.

[06:36]	Isambard_Prince	I don't know why. Dreams don't always literally mean what happens in the dream.
[06:36]	Isambard_Prince	All I know is I was tearing apart an old television set to see what was wrong with it. I think the tube had burned out.
[06:37]	Isambard_Prince	My mother said that when she was here the other day she noticed that my speech pattern has changed.

[06:38]	Isambard_Prince	But when she was here she noticed me doing it in person.
[06:39]	Isambard_Prince	One of the questions they'll ask about depression is "Have you started moving or speaking so slowly that others have noticed or commented?"

[06:40]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], She said she started to notice this over the phone about a year or two ago.
[06:41]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Then she was reading a story about someone who committed suicide by cop.
[06:41]	Isambard_Prince	And she said she had no idea why anyone would do that.
[06:42]	Isambard_Prince	I said I knew exactly why people would do it.
[06:42]	Isambard_Prince	Afraid to do it themselves or don't have access to a gun so they pretend they do so the cop perceives a threat, or they realize they've committed a serious crime and don't want to go to prison forever so they do that instead.
[06:43]	Isambard_Prince	It's harder to pull off in many English speaking countries because the front line police officers are less likely to have guns.
[06:43]	Isambard_Prince	Maybe you get yourself tased or something if you do that in the UK.
[06:43]	Isambard_Prince	But I don't think they call out the real police unless you're a terrorist or something.
[06:45]	Isambard_Prince	Hard to do suicide by cop when most of the cops are just TV Licensing with a badge.

[06:50]	Isambard_Prince	Interestingly, they say that your libido goes down while you're depressed, but that has not been my experience.
[06:51]	Isambard_Prince	I've become so depressed that even all the shit I take for bipolar disorder doesn't work that well right at the moment.
[06:52]	Isambard_Prince	I'm undoubtedly more prone to bad decesion making because the stakes have been reduced.
[06:53]	Isambard_Prince	Just like Aunt Karen at least getting out of bed and forcing herself into work for the sake of the girls, I've been somewhat functional because I had to be, on behalf of someone who clearly played me for citizenship and now washes his hands of me.
[06:53]	Isambard_Prince	So there's no reason to care if he suffers for what I do, which makes me less stable.

[06:55]	Isambard_Prince	I can make good or conservative risk decisions, it's just that I no longer care.
[06:55]	Isambard_Prince	I haven't felt this bad in 20 years.
[06:58]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I ran across someone I dated many years ago that's apparently dead now. That makes at least two.
[06:58]	Isambard_Prince	This one made it to 37 and I'm sure it was a bad 37.
[06:59]	Isambard_Prince	Saw the obituary. For some reason they either die young or at least fall apart too early.
[06:59]	Isambard_Prince	I lived long enough to become arthritic.
