My laptop, the good one, is double bagged airtight and I'm giving it a two week quarantine in the trunk of my car. [05:49] IsambardPrince I put blobs of cockroach bait all over the house, anywhere the cats can't get, and dusted the cabinets with boric acid over here and tied the cabinets shut with child locks and set out bait stations where the cats go so they won't go near the Advion. [05:50] IsambardPrince I put blobs of Advion on my TV.

[06:02] IsambardPrince Mark took us back and said we did not need to be screened again, no application charge, and "When do you want to move in?" [06:02] IsambardPrince It was all just a formality other than seeing the place. [06:03] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Regarding the battery. [06:03] IsambardPrince I replaced the one on this old Lenovo in 2020. [06:03] IsambardPrince Myself. For $26. [06:04] IsambardPrince I got one on Amazon, took the laptop apart, plugged the new one in, and took the one that wasn't working very well anymore to the county to be recycled. [06:04] IsambardPrince I got a quote from ubreakifix and they told me a battery was going to be over $180 and suggested that I just buy another laptop. [06:05] IsambardPrince Because it was 4 years old. [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] typical [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] they take advantage [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] of the "convenience" [06:05] IsambardPrince For $26 I am still using it and it's 10 now.

NO TIME FOR THAT!! [06:06] schestowitz[TR2] "get it to the shop. $200? OK, just do it!!"

I hate relacing shoes. [06:07] IsambardPrince Then I figured "The ones without laces cost the same." [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] laces are generic [06:08] IsambardPrince The idea is the laces get torn up easily and even though the shoe is fine, you toss them and you get more shoes. [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] can be passed from one shoe to another [06:08] IsambardPrince So they make the laces shred easily. [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] I used to have sets of laces [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] from older shoes [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] i also think 90s shoes had better laces [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] better material [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] the sweatshop era introduced synthetic [06:08] schestowitz[TR2] fibre [06:09] schestowitz[TR2] not 50% cottom [06:09] schestowitz[TR2] 0% cotton [06:09] schestowitz[TR2] all this "poly" crap [06:09] schestowitz[TR2] not even just polyster [06:09] schestowitz[TR2] even nylon!!

[06:10] IsambardPrince No visible wear. [06:11] schestowitz[TR2] what year/s? [06:11] schestowitz[TR2] and what brand? [06:11] schestowitz[TR2] even the gfood brand cheapened it [06:11] schestowitz[TR2] "everyone else is doing it" [06:11] IsambardPrince That's several years I used to wear Nikes and Reeboks. [06:11] schestowitz[TR2] they asked nike CEO [06:11] schestowitz[TR2] iirc [06:11] schestowitz[TR2] (Nike CEO or founder) [06:11] IsambardPrince Yeah, Nike raised their prices again recently.

[06:26] IsambardPrince The crazy thing is that people may start to like it. [06:27] IsambardPrince If crime drops close to zero because people see the military standing there, there might be demand for it, [06:27] IsambardPrince It's certainly happened in other countries where law enforcement got turned over to the military. [06:27] IsambardPrince These people don't fuck around like city cops and lawyers do. They are trained to fight the enemy and kill the enemy. [06:27] IsambardPrince So it's a different ballgame than what those criminals are used to. [06:28] IsambardPrince Right now they're being ordered to play softball. [06:28] IsambardPrince But orders can change immediately and without any notice. [06:28] IsambardPrince First they aren't there at all. [06:29] IsambardPrince Then they're walking around taking pictures with people. [06:29] IsambardPrince Then they're armed. [06:29] IsambardPrince Then they're not just armed, they're out there arresting people and taking part in raids. [06:29] IsambardPrince We're on step 2 right now. [06:30] IsambardPrince DC was first because it's easier. It's not a state. It's a federal enclave. [06:30] IsambardPrince Ultimately Trump is like their governor. [06:30] IsambardPrince He has direct authority over the National Guard, nobody can even question it. [06:30] IsambardPrince And the DC Home Rule Act says he can declare an emergency and take over the city cops. [06:31] IsambardPrince Muriel Bowser is the mayor, but she has no authority over the National Guard. [06:31] IsambardPrince Until the mid 70s, DC didn't even have a mayor. It just got really tedious for Congress to act like a city hall. They're a national legislature. [06:32] IsambardPrince So they devolved some of the government to a local authority to make life easier on themselves. [06:33] IsambardPrince Ultimately with what Texas started doing, nobody will have federal representation in the US House soon. [06:33] IsambardPrince Legislatures will start extreme gerrymanders, perhaps only leaving 1-2 seats at most in that state to the other party. [06:34] IsambardPrince There will still be elections, but they won't be able to change who is in those seats. [06:34] IsambardPrince The closest thing to an election will be the party primaries. [06:34] IsambardPrince Illinnois currently has 14 Democrats and 3 Republicans. [06:34] IsambardPrince It could probably be 16 Democrats and 1 Republican if the legislature copies Texas. [06:35] IsambardPrince You just start spiraling out these districts that all have some of Cook Counnty in them, and then you get that. [06:36] IsambardPrince So Texas is starting something and ultimately it won't change the math much, but it will drive down turnout in electins. [06:36] IsambardPrince Because people will learn it doesn't matter who they vote for.
