| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I need to take my TARDIS apart and replace the batteries. | Aug 24 01:18 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: An apartment that is disgusting isn't necessary in order to get a roach infestation. | Aug 24 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | But you are rolling out the red carpet for them. | Aug 24 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | It will be 10 times worse than if you just kept a clean house. | Aug 24 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | A filthy apartment isn't a baseline for solving a roach problem. | Aug 24 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | You need to clean the apartment, physically remove the roaches that are coming out into the open, and then do diagnostics with sticky traps, poison bait, and possibly even a good non-repellent insecticide deployment on the baseboards (still don't spray bait stations like Orkin did). | Aug 24 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Orkin never solved my roaches. | Aug 24 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | They just came in once in a while, sprayed everything, ruined my bait operations, sprayed down my sticky traps and made it impossible to tell where roach activity was occurring because they sprayed the trap. | Aug 24 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | They charge a lot of money. | Aug 24 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | The exterminator should not come out, not only not solve the problem but screw up everything the customer is doing, and then send the bill. | Aug 24 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Butt that's what Orkin doees. | Aug 24 01:22 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: The subject was the death of fast food. It's not just the price hikes. | Aug 24 01:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They demand that you use apps that are very unstable and personally track you to get their labor costs down, then you still pay a lot, just not the full menu price. | Aug 24 01:36 |
| IsambardPrince | And even if you pay cash, you can't always get a person. | Aug 24 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | They have signs at the cash register that say "Use the Kiosk". | Aug 24 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, the kiosks don't take cash, they just print out a receipt so you can stand in line to pay cash at the register, behind all the people trying to order. | Aug 24 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they decided to do shit like, end free refills. | Aug 24 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | So you can't get another coke if you run out. | Aug 24 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | They said it was for hygiene and that you could ask an employee, but then they stopped doing any refills at all. | Aug 24 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they came out with a "value menu" that's actually so insulting that it's another price hike. | Aug 24 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Because they replaced promotions where you could order like two Daily Doubles for $4, with a $3 Daily Double. | Aug 24 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you actually wanted two, you have to pay $2 more now, because that's how value works, apparently. | Aug 24 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | So then their CEO of McDonald's just came out and blamed it on people being broke. | Aug 24 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, because everything is ganging up on them at once, like the landlord and the power company, and McDonald's is optional and more expensive than cooking. | Aug 24 01:41 |

| IsambardPrince | The reporter says "consumers don't have a lot of money and whatever money they do have they don't want to spend there". | Aug 24 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Great summary. | Aug 24 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: That website where I get my recipes from has cookbooks for sale, they're like $160 for the complete set. | Aug 24 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | I skimmed them all at the library and used my phone's scanner to save all the ones that aren't on his website that sounded good. | Aug 24 01:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Like why am I going to get on Amazon when the library has over 500 cookbooks? | Aug 24 01:45 |
| IsambardPrince | When I open a cookbook, and skim through it, I am very obviously never going to make all 50-60 recipes out of it. I might make 4-5. So buying an entire book is very wasteful of money and it takes up space in the house. | Aug 24 01:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Then something happens and you move and you have to shed weight. And those cookbooks don't all come with you. | Aug 24 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | And your mother who has successfully helped destabilize your marriage and tell your spouse what a bastard you are when all you ever did was help them and it was like trying to help a rabid dog that repaid you by biting you says "I would send you things but you just throw away everything I send!" | Aug 24 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | My life isn't stable enough to accumulate things. | Aug 24 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean it must be nice to have four paychecks and not have to move every year or two. | Aug 24 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | But between shitty insane landlords and a pile of bad exes, there's a limited number of things I can hold onto. | Aug 24 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | It's bad when you constantly have to keep room in the back of your head for a rolling inventory of "If I had to leave today what would I fit in a car?" | Aug 24 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a number of reasons you have to be ready to bug-out. | Aug 24 01:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Your landlord could raise the rent $300 a month for no reason. They could move in shitty tenants that don't let you sleep for 6 months. They could be like Piyush, renting out rooms with black mold and cockroaches. | Aug 24 01:50 |
| IsambardPrince | And then you have to deal with people like John and Mandy. | Aug 24 01:50 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, they abuse the system to try to have you put in jail on false charges or they just want a green card and they don't even love you. | Aug 24 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Every one of those things is something that really happened to me. | Aug 24 01:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Anyway, I loved Scarface, because as fucked up as Tony Montana is, he has a point. | Aug 24 01:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Especially about the people around him being "cockroaches", | Aug 24 01:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Think about that word for a moment. What do cockroaches do? | Aug 24 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They live in the walls, they hate the light, they hate being in the open, they live off your crumbs, they are almost impossible to get rid of entirely. | Aug 24 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | He calls these people around him cockroaches because they embody all of these traits. | Aug 24 01:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They finally do succeed in killing him because he became complacent. He chose to live in a mansion, start sampling his own product too much, he let his enemies surround him and burrow in. | Aug 24 01:59 |
| IsambardPrince | In the end he's screaming about how they're all a bunch of cockroaches, and he grabs a machine gun with a build in grenade launcher and kills like 30-40 of them but they still get him. | Aug 24 02:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Because there's too many. | Aug 24 02:00 |
| IsambardPrince | [15:00] <schestowitz[TR2]> like no hot water and all that | Aug 24 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Most landlords will keep the things functional that have to work or else the city starts fining them or the tenants move out immediately. | Aug 24 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Like they're not going to let your hot water go out without fixing it, because nobody is going to stand cold showers every day when you're telling them they owe $1750 in rent. | Aug 24 02:06 |
| IsambardPrince | When an entire building starts screaming at them and moving out or withholding rent and calling the city, the hot water magically stays on. | Aug 24 02:06 |
| IsambardPrince | But when you tell them "I saw roaches in my kitchen." That's not high priority. | Aug 24 02:07 |
| IsambardPrince | You're one guy, everyone else there is so gross they no longer care about roaches and they pay their rent. | Aug 24 02:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The reason Piyush doesn't operate in Chicago or Cook County is because their anti-slumlord laws have teeth. They bite. | Aug 24 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | He goes to places where the city government doesn't care what he does. | Aug 24 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | And he extracts whatever he can from people who can't qualify to live anywhere else because their income is too unstable, they have bad credit, or they're on sex offender and domestic violence registries. | Aug 24 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I cleaned out the air conditioners today. With the electric bills running like they are I try to make sure nothing accumulates in the filter screens or the condenser fins. | Aug 24 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | An air conditioner that does not run efficiently becomes a power hog. | Aug 24 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | That air conditioner Piyush put in after the 1970s one failed was a biohazard like the rest of the apartment. | Aug 24 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I had to take it apart and clean it best I could with some AC condensor spray and an old credit card, wearing a respirator. | Aug 24 02:23 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I went to the grocery store to pick up more beer that was on the $6.99 sale. | Aug 24 03:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The shelf was sold out and nobody bothered restocking it. | Aug 24 03:38 |
| IsambardPrince | So I looked around, nobody was working nearby, so I ignored the employees only sign and went into the beer cooler and pulled some myself. | Aug 24 03:39 |
| IsambardPrince | My guess is they're losing money on that sale beer anyway. So restocking the shelf even though they have plenty is not high priority. So they let it sit back there and stock it when the sale ends. | Aug 24 03:43 |
| IsambardPrince | The ad still brings in customers but they find nothing, throw a non-sale beer in the cart, and go on a "while I'm here anyway" binge. | Aug 24 03:45 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> You go to pawn shops to buy used electronics. | Aug 24 15:22 |
| IsambardPrince | And if you ruin the laptop somehow by freezing it, it's still better than seeing roaches everywhere that breed so fast you never get them all. | Aug 24 15:22 |

| IsambardPrince | Always assume that an apartment that looks clean had a landlord set offf a roach grenade and enough survived. | Aug 24 15:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Pull out the fridge and look around it, inspect the counters and drawers and cabinets. Look for old roach bait on the hinges, or a white powder they didn't vacuum, or little brown flecks everywhere. | Aug 24 15:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i cannot recall seeing roaches here | Aug 24 15:26 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: The consumer grade roach baits are so cheap. | Aug 24 15:28 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm hoarding a pile of consumer grade ones I bought with Amazon coupons. | Aug 24 15:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so amazon profiels you | Aug 24 15:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah. | Aug 24 15:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | are the poor man with hygiene issues | Aug 24 15:28 |
| IsambardPrince | So what? I have roaches. Everyone in Chicago has roaches. | Aug 24 15:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like the man who could not take ashower | Aug 24 15:29 |
| IsambardPrince | At least I'm trying to kill the roaches. | Aug 24 15:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but thought he could afford something called "ROYAL court of justice" | Aug 24 15:29 |
| IsambardPrince | That's more than most Devil Apes do. | Aug 24 15:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in another continent | Aug 24 15:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you don't need to buy them from amazon | Aug 24 15:29 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: The reason you want cheap baits in your lineup is that Advion is very effective at killing the roaches, but it's also incredibly expensive. | Aug 24 15:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | anyway, let's get on tech or grandma | Aug 24 15:30 |
| IsambardPrince | It only takes like 12 bait stations placed around where your glue traps are catching roaches to solve most of the problems, that's how good Advion is. | Aug 24 15:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | is there isgradmadead.com site yet>? | Aug 24 15:30 |
| IsambardPrince | But the consumer grade ones work too, just not as well. | Aug 24 15:30 |
| IsambardPrince | So you use it to sort of diversify the treatment and pick off some that might not like Advion. | Aug 24 15:31 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Yes, there's a lot of data that companies keep about you online. | Aug 24 15:31 |
| IsambardPrince | "Gay. Likes porn. Has a cockroach problem. Cooks at home. Left-Libertarian. Enjoys frugal hobbies and groups." | Aug 24 15:32 |
| IsambardPrince | There's just hundreds or thousands of data points here you know, but they're also pretty generic in each particular label. | Aug 24 15:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Like every item describes millions of tens of millions or hundreds of millions. | Aug 24 15:33 |
| IsambardPrince | But yours becomes unique. | Aug 24 15:33 |
| IsambardPrince | This is why Google Chrome's FLoC is so much worse than cookies. | Aug 24 15:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> schestowitz[TR2]: Yes, there's a lot of data that companies keep about you online. | Aug 24 15:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | does not mean you xshould help them | Aug 24 15:33 |
| IsambardPrince | And Google labeled it "Privacy Sandbox". | Aug 24 15:33 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I realized eventually after buying a ton of cockroach products that did not work very well that baits work. | Aug 24 15:35 |
| IsambardPrince | But if you rely on one you'll always keep catching roaches. | Aug 24 15:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It'll go down from 2-3 every day in the sticky traps to 2-3 a month, but those are the stragglers that don't like that bait. | Aug 24 15:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They usually don't become immune to everything because that's more difficult. When you're using three or four insecticides at once in different bait stations, that all kill roaches a different way, it controls the problem where you're selecting for roaches that can tolerate one of them. | Aug 24 15:37 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: You can legally pay less tax by earning less. | Aug 24 17:17 |
| IsambardPrince | You can get by with earning less if you spend less. | Aug 24 17:17 |
| IsambardPrince | The reason they want people to spend is so there will be more tax. | Aug 24 17:18 |
| IsambardPrince | People who don't spend are essentially worthless to corporations and the government. | Aug 24 17:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Hmmm. | Aug 24 17:20 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I bought some Light beer yesterday. | Aug 24 17:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Just because it was dirt cheap and they didn't have the regular version in stock. | Aug 24 17:20 |
| IsambardPrince | This one is Miller High Life Light. | Aug 24 17:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I've got to say this is the first Light beer I've had that doesn't taste offensive or watered down. | Aug 24 17:21 |
| IsambardPrince | It's definitely slightly different than the regular, but not bad. | Aug 24 17:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Color and carbonation are very similar, still tastes pretty sweet and malty. | Aug 24 17:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I actually looked into the science behind this. | Aug 24 17:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Miller's process for High Life Light is completely different than Miller Light. | Aug 24 17:25 |
| IsambardPrince | To make a beer "Light," brewers use an enzyme called glucoamylase to break down almost all the complex, unfermentable starches into simple sugars so the yeast can eat absolutely everything. | Aug 24 17:25 |
| *psydruid has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Aug 24 17:26 | |
| IsambardPrince | Bud Light and Coors Light let this enzyme run rampant until the beer is almost entirely devoid of leftover malt solids. | Aug 24 17:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Miller explicitly caps this process earlier for High Life Light. They deliberately leave a higher percentage of unfermentable dextrins (complex sugars) intact. This preserves the viscosity, giving it a heavy color and carbonation pattern instead of looking pale and washed out | Aug 24 17:27 |
| IsambardPrince | That was always my biggest complaint about Light Beer. They don't leave anything behind. It's just alcohol seltzer by the time they're finished. | Aug 24 17:28 |

| MinceR | simple enough answer | Aug 24 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | I hate being up at 8 AM but I forced myself to this morning. | Aug 24 21:55 |
| IsambardPrince | I drank half a pot of coffee to drag my ass out of bed. | Aug 24 21:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Get the cat down there to get her vaccines finished. | Aug 24 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | One of them was for FHV, which is something Leeloo had. | Aug 24 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I would rather get up at 8 AM and make my way down for a free vaccine for Kiki than watch another cat suffer through FHV. | Aug 24 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | That was terrible. | Aug 24 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Leeloo must never have gotten her kitten shots and maybe she was even born with it. | Aug 24 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Either way, I treated it as well as I could with eyedrops and antiviral medicine. | Aug 24 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | It really started raging later on in life when she had underlying conditions. | Aug 24 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | It came back the last week she was alive. It was just so sad. | Aug 24 21:58 |
| IsambardPrince | She seems fine. I gave her some chicken scraps from when I was deboning a rotisserie chicken for a casserole earlier. | Aug 24 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So I don't think there were any immediate effects from the vaccine. | Aug 24 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I told my mother (regarding my partner and I getting the flu shot last year) "Not all of us can afford to be sick because we are not an eccentric old woman who goes to the ER 5 times a year and doesn't even have to pay for it." | Aug 24 22:01 |
