[06:20] IsambardPrince CDs sound better but it's one set of quirks vs. another so better might be subjective. [06:21] IsambardPrince There's always trade offs between any two formats. [06:21] IsambardPrince I liked the Walkman better than the Discman. [06:21] IsambardPrince The Discman was fucking expensive, at least for a while. [06:22] IsambardPrince A Walkman got down to, I think $40-50 while a Discman was still more than $150. [06:22] IsambardPrince The earlier Discmans skipped when you bumped them, which didn't exactly lend itself to "portability". [06:22] IsambardPrince So CDs were a format for the HiFi system at home, but not really portable. [06:22] IsambardPrince Now my car has an excellent CD player. [06:23] IsambardPrince No more of that plugging it into a tape and putting the tape in the deck and having the CD skip every time you hit a bump. [06:24] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], The Ford tape players did not like those shim cassettes that plugged into your phone or a CD player or something. By default it would align the head just far off enough that you'd only get audio out of the left speakers. [06:24] IsambardPrince You had to actually reach into the tape player with a finger and press down on the tape and jiggle it until it was positioned for sound to come out in stereo. [06:26] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I was still using a cassette deck adapter to play Ogg Vorbis files in the car stereo of a 1996 Ford even when I was living in Chicago. [06:27] IsambardPrince Plug it into the phone, use Vanilla Player for Android from the F-Droid store to play music files over the car stereo through a tape adapter. Still sounded surprisingly good. [06:27] IsambardPrince John laughed at the setup. [06:28] IsambardPrince Certainly nobody will ever try to adapt a 2025 car to something in use in 2045, because the car won't even last that long.

It left an impression that mad it less likely to be counterfeit. [21:12] IsambardPrince But obviously not impossible, but better than nothing.

[21:35] IsambardPrince By itself, a non-self executing treaty is just a statement of agreement of principles. [21:36] IsambardPrince The United States is a sovereign nation, and no outside force has any valid claim against that sovereignty.

They did not block that one. [21:38] IsambardPrince So I suggest that if Sheinbaum is pissed, she takes immediate action to block it instead of getting caught with her pants down again. [21:38] IsambardPrince It was a major humiliation for her, and that was probably the main goal.

[21:39] IsambardPrince Consistent with what their Constitution and laws say they can do, Mexico has the right to do pretty much whatever it wants, in Mexico. [21:40] IsambardPrince This is their own fault for repealing that law, you know. [21:40] IsambardPrince She admits they already had one that would have caused the stations to refuse that ad, but it was repealed in 2014. [21:40] IsambardPrince Why? [21:41] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I wish Illinois would pass one. I'm sick of hearing from that bitch, Noem. [21:41] IsambardPrince There would probably be another lawsuit but who cares? The federal government is already so litigious that they're crapping up the courts anyway with bullshit.

In addition, GNU serves as an example to inspire and a banner to rally others to join us in sharing. This can give us a feeling of harmony which is impossible if we use software that is not free." [21:42] IsambardPrince By the time it got decided it would be 2-3 years from now because the government files shit and then doesn't know what to do with the car it just caught. [21:42] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], They went after us in February for not cooperating with ICE. [21:43] IsambardPrince Then they cost themselves over 2 months so far just arguing that THEY don't need to participate and the judge needs to just make a summary ruling with no evidence. [21:43] IsambardPrince This is obvious crap. [21:44] IsambardPrince In the meantime, we're still not cooperating with ICE because the feds are pissing off the judge instead of moving forward. [21:44] IsambardPrince They're so contemptuous that there won't even be anything for the Seventh Circuit to look at for years, and it's all their own doing. [21:45] IsambardPrince Along the way the regime will probably tell the Supreme Court it's an emergency. [21:45] IsambardPrince Then the Supreme Court will say no it isn't.

[21:57] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], My mom obviously doesn't get it. [21:58] IsambardPrince She was talking about some guy who is undocumented at the church. [21:58] IsambardPrince And she asked why he didn't just become a US citizen. She trivializes it and makes it sound like anyone just walks in and fills out a form and they don't want to. [21:59] IsambardPrince For my spouse I ended up doing work that a lawyer would have wanted $10,000 for. [21:59] IsambardPrince They don't ask for that much if it's going to be okay check a couple boxes and sign your name. ● Apr 22 [22:00] IsambardPrince There's background checks, there's public charge rules, you'll be dealing with these people for five or ten years, filing half a dozen banker's boxes of stuff, I shit you not. [22:00] IsambardPrince And she goes "Why isn't a guy who has 4 kids and his wife works at Walmart not applying for it the right way?" [22:01] IsambardPrince Then since the guy at her church has been accruing unlawful presence, he'd have to file a waiver for that, to cure it. [22:01] IsambardPrince Then he'd have to go back and fix years of unfiled tax returns, which they really don't like, and ask them to forgive that. [22:02] IsambardPrince Do you think the Trump Administration is going to forgive 20 years of unlawful presence and failure to file taxes? [22:02] IsambardPrince They won't. They never will. But there's also no way to pass public charge because he's got four kids and he and his wife will never make over 150% of the federal poverty line now. [22:02] IsambardPrince They have 6 people in there and four are children who don't work, they just cost money. [22:03] IsambardPrince If he's been working he could fess up because he's the spouse of a US citizen, so they forgive that, but they don't like seeing it. [22:04] IsambardPrince This guy has such a bad case, nobody would even take it for any amount of money unless he got those attorneys in Florida or Texas that are notorious for filing outright shit as long as you pay them $15,000. [22:04] IsambardPrince And my mother is so ignorant she's like "Well, if that guy just did it the right way!" like there is a right way. [22:05] IsambardPrince They might find someone dirty enough to take the money, but they'd only be out the money, if they even had the money. [22:06] *oarion7 (~ryan@e6jyc88uwxv5c.irc) has joined #techrights [22:06] IsambardPrince Every waiver you have to file means it will cost you more just to ask, and they can say no to the waiver. [22:09] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], But yes, the worst cabinet since at least the 1870s. [22:09] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Kristi Noem lost over $3,000 the other day. [22:09] IsambardPrince She sat her purse down with over $3,000 in cash in it and someone ran off with her purse. [22:10] IsambardPrince She needed over $3,000 in cash, she said, to entertain family over Easter. [22:10] IsambardPrince It's called a credit card, you nit! [22:10] IsambardPrince You'd think the Secretary of Homeland Security would know cash is not secure. [22:11] IsambardPrince You can't turn off stolen cash and get everything they spent refunded by a bank. [22:11] IsambardPrince You can do that with a credit card! [22:11] IsambardPrince In fact I've had to do that before. [22:12] IsambardPrince If I drop my credit card and someone picks it up and spends over $3,000, I lose $0. [22:12] IsambardPrince I report it stolen and mark the transactions. I lose $0. [22:12] IsambardPrince People who carry lots of cash are just fundamentally stupid, and should not be in charge of something like DHS. ● Apr 22 [23:00] *psydroid2 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.2.6 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/) [23:13] MinceR https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/monolith-2 [23:13] TR Bot Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Monolith [23:14] IsambardPrince MinceR, https://i.postimg.cc/8P14f1XB/Screenshot-2025-04-22-5-13-14-PM.png [23:14] IsambardPrince Try getting reservations at Dorsia now!
