[00:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Reddit can be amusing. Screenshots of Trump voters on "X" losing their farm and having their wife being deported after they paid "$10,000" to file the forms.
[00:22]	MinceR	:)
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	And they think ICE is going to release the wife and USDA will give them their farm credits back because they voted for Trump.
[00:23]	MinceR	lol
[00:23]	MinceR	even if it really worked that way, it would still be amusing
[00:24]	MinceR	especially since they probably can't even prove they voted for the orange cockwomble

[00:48]	IsambardPrince	I gravitate to older movies, mostly because of the lack of modern effects. They've gone overboard with production.
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	CGI in every shot, digital cameras, barely passable scripts. They've thrown the entire budget at making it look good, but it's not good.
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	I knew we were in big trouble when Lucas announced that Star Wars Episode 2 would be shot digitally.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	They used, essentially, prototype digital cameras, and the result was worse than shooting to film.

[01:25]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Do you ever just turn the volume off on the TV and voice act using the subtitles?
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	My favorite on screen portrayal of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen so far was the Sci Fi Channel mini-series where Ian McNiece played him.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	They actually stayed close to the book and the Baron was given proper lines and McNiece acted the scenes out well.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	The new reboot is just going absolutely nowhere in my opinion.
[01:27]	MinceR	no
[01:28]	IsambardPrince	It requires reading the book to have much of an idea about what any of this means and it still manages to move too slowly and use its screen time inefficiently in general.
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	I like doing my take on movie villains.
[01:53]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Someone has a dog barking inside apartment 100.
[01:53]	IsambardPrince	I got a new burner number and texted the landlord an 8 second clip of their door with the dog going woof woof wooof wooof wwooooff

[02:54]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The idea of paying what DVD players and DVDs cost in the 90s seems almost absurd now.
[02:54]	IsambardPrince	I can't remember what the minimum wage was in 1998.
[02:54]	IsambardPrince	Certainly less than $5 an hour.
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	It's effectively about $18-20 now even though where I am, the law says $15.
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	So let's say Walmart paid its employees $5-6 an hour in 1998.
[02:57]	IsambardPrince	That employee who gets the DVD player out of the case would have to work over 50 hours to get a DVD player.
[02:57]	IsambardPrince	5 hours to buy one DVD.
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	If you adjust the prices to what actual inflation has been (not the fake BLS numbers), certainly that DVD player cost about $900.
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	And each disc about $90.
[02:59]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Whenever people younger than me complain about stuff I'm like "Oh you spoiled little weenie babies."
[02:59]	IsambardPrince	You never just took the absolute lowest paid work there was and expected the best things there are.
● Apr 27
[03:00]	IsambardPrince	The price of DVD players and discs fell because of market forces, and at the same time, wages went up so they're even cheaper if you think about it.
[03:00]	IsambardPrince	Walmart has a DVD player for $27.88 and it doesn't even skip between layers on the disc.
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	I can get movies on the used market for less than $2 per disc sometimes, although some still have resale value, so you might have to pay $10-20 for certain ones that are still in demand.
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	Still, that's just amazingly cheap compared to what we had in 1998, and DVD improved a lot too, the players, the encoders, the manufacturing.
[03:02]	IsambardPrince	You go back far enough, I saw this YouTube video where they had people in Japan taste testing rice. Different grades of it, they sell it by grade there. They take rice seriously.
[03:02]	IsambardPrince	And they were testing rice cookers, some cost about $20 US, some as much as $600-700.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	And the oldest man in the room said he remembered life after the war where you could barely even get rice.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	He said it was all quite good because his frame of reference went back to "You get whatever you can and be glad you have it."
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	So material wealth is usually pretty easy.
[03:04]	IsambardPrince	You want a microwave oven? They were $500 in the 1970s and they were horrible. My dad bought one, we had to keep it because he paid so much for it, and they didn't really know how to make them so he paid a lot for a really bad product.
[03:04]	IsambardPrince	Now you can get one for $60-70 and they're much better.
[03:05]	IsambardPrince	They have a carousel, they have a digital timer (ours didn't even have a timer...it broke and so you turned it one way, the microwave stayed on until you turned it the other way.).
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	It was meant to have a timer dial, where it would ding at the end. It still dinged but the timer didn't work, so they made unreliable products back then. A lot of them were unreliable.
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	They don't make them like they used to, and thank God for that.

[03:24]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The British censorship board, along with most in the world, no longer matter, since anyone can just torrent whatever they banned.
[03:25]	IsambardPrince	Back in the day when you couldn't get anything except a physical copy, they could just decree that nobody was allowed to see it.
[03:29]	MinceR	as long as we have general-purpose computers, that is
● Apr 27
[04:02]	IsambardPrince	I have DVDs and Blu Ray discs.
[04:02]	IsambardPrince	They exist side by side and all Blu Ray players play DVDs. 
[04:03]	IsambardPrince	If it's not something I care too much about, I usually grab it on DVD because they're cheaper and still not a terrible format.
[04:03]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
[04:04]	IsambardPrince	If it's something I'll watch again, I usually spring for the Blu Ray. Things that are worth watching again vs. garden variety crap is maybe like you get 9-10 of the DVDs vs. 1-2 Blu Rays, it works out to about that ratio.
[04:04]	IsambardPrince	So the premium pricing of Blu Ray really limited its market adoption.
[04:05]	IsambardPrince	People only want the Blu Ray disc and the hole it leaves in the pocketbook, for the best movies.
[04:05]	IsambardPrince	UHD Blu Ray failed immediately because they were commanding a premium of $10 over even the Blu Ray, and it's a very rare film that's worth such an outlay of money.
[04:06]	IsambardPrince	I strongly prefer Standard 1080p Blu Ray discs over streaming, on a quality basis, just because they lay on the compression very thick to keep their own costs down.
[04:07]	IsambardPrince	Streaming uses a lot of data, so they crunch this thing that would have had up to 100 GB on a Blu Ray disc down to like 1.5-2 GB for streaming. You lose 98% of the data and it's impossible to hide.
[04:08]	IsambardPrince	You know, so they all charge more to stream in 4K, but then they compress it so horribly, you go up to the TV and you have MPEG macroblocking artifacts, which haven't really been a thing on discs since the launch copies of the first DVDs went out in like 1996.
[04:08]	IsambardPrince	It's fucking pathetic how much money they want for this warmed over garbage, and that they have the nerve to call it 4K.
[04:08]	IsambardPrince	Netflix is the worst offender I think.
[04:09]	MinceR	yeah, i remember Louis Rossmann paying netfucks extra for 4k and getting 720p because the device wasn't locked down enough to netfucks' liking

[04:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Right, they give you 720p, quietly, while telling you you're on the 4K tier, if they don't like that device.
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	And they let you assume it's 4K because there's no warning that says it's not.
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	They just start playing 720p.

[20:53]	IsambardPrince	In Canada, whenever some nut or a Muslim wants to kill people, they use a car, like they do in Europe.
[20:54]	IsambardPrince	Nobody is allowed to say anything because it wasn't a gun.
[20:54]	MinceR	ah, so that's how banning guns solves violence
[20:54]	IsambardPrince	I got someone staring at me when Mandy mentioned the people who died at the festival in Vancouver.
[20:55]	IsambardPrince	I said, "Oh it was probably some Muslim in a van like it always is."
[20:55]	IsambardPrince	This isn't Canada. I'm allowed to say that.

[20:58]	IsambardPrince	I stopped at Jewel on the way home. Chicken salad for dinner tonight. Had to pick up a bunch of stuff. I noticed that Jewel and Walmart are not that different in the price of a full cart.
[20:58]	MinceR	is the size of the carts different? :>
[20:58]	IsambardPrince	Per item, sometimes Walmart is really cheap, but Jewel has more sales, so over the span of the entire cart, it evens out.
[20:59]	IsambardPrince	No, I can build the cart on both sites and directly compare prices. On a cost basis of 15 items I needed today, Jewel camed out about $1 higher than Walmart. But if I buy my food at Walmart, I don't get my Jewel points which turn back into cash on a future shopping trip, or my AmEx bonus points for grocery store spending.
[20:59]	IsambardPrince	So the math works out in favor of Jewel in the end.
● Apr 27
[21:00]	IsambardPrince	It's just that they use customer retention gimmicks like "points" that turn into cash off your grocery bill later.
[21:00]	IsambardPrince	So you have to keep shopping there to use that.
[21:01]	IsambardPrince	Also, Jewel messes up my order a lot less and has better meat and produce.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	It's common for Walmart to bring you out things like leaking packages of meat, jars with the safety seal popped up and the guy doesn't know why you want a different one. 12 pounds of bananas when you asked for six bananas. It's always call 1-800 Walmart.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	They never fix it in the store like Jewel does, and if they do, you have to wait behind people there to return things they probably stole last week.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Walmart is way too liberal on returns.
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	My boss forced me to let one customer return a fat PlayStation 2 in a Slimline PS2 box one time.
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	They actually crammed it to where the box wouldn't close.
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	I refused. I said "You need to logg in and approve this because I'm not going to get hauled into the office and reamed out for it later when someone realizes what you told me to do."
[21:03]	MinceR	lol
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	*log
[21:06]	IsambardPrince	I had a friend named Travis who was almost exactly like me. He kept encountering really dumb people who looked great and move them in with him, and then complaining about what they were putting him through.
[21:07]	IsambardPrince	I saw him come through Walmart one evening and his partner at that time made him purchase the Lord of the Rings trilogy on DVD. I said, "So what's wrong with that? They're not bad movies." He said, "We already have a copy and he likes the box art on this one better."
[21:08]	MinceR	lol

[21:26]	IsambardPrince	"Noem: 150,000 migrants arrested and deported since Trump took office
[21:26]	IsambardPrince	Critics question DHS secretarys numbers; think-tank estimates 650 daily arrests as of mid-March"
[21:26]	IsambardPrince	"Critics question"
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	No, anyone who knows that this woman was picked because she's a cunt with no brain questions anything she says.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, They also got caught photoshopping tattoos on pictures of immigrants.
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	They don't have to make it look convincing to convince fools and idiots and racists.
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	Of course, using CBP inadmissible data in a tally of arrests is deceptive since it includes people with visa issues turned around at the border at land and air ports-of-entry and thats quite a high number, around 20,000 a month, Reichlin-Melnick tweeted. It would be 40 percent of Noems 150,000 figure.
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, So basically 40% of that figure is people that get turned away which has not changed.
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	Then we have no idea where they got the rest.

[21:31]	IsambardPrince	Trump re-invents Nazi Marriage Loans. Nothing controversial there.
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	$5,000 to have a baby. Yeah, hurry up and buy another flat screen TV with it and then panic because it costs a million dollars to raise that child and you're broke and the welfare state is gone.

[21:51]	TR Bot	Wii homebrew library contains code stolen from Nintendo, RTEMS OSnews
[21:53]	IsambardPrince	Nintendo has a lot of issues. To say the least.
[21:53]	IsambardPrince	They're so stupid.
[21:54]	IsambardPrince	If they had not attacked the Switch emulator projects, they could have used that code thmselves for free.
[21:54]	IsambardPrince	They're going to be harmed badly by tariffs.
[21:54]	psydroid2	yes, they were quick to label the Vancouver attacker as not being a terrorist
[21:54]	IsambardPrince	Because there's physical "things" you have to buy to run a Nintendo console and games.
[21:55]	psydroid2	as if anyone's going to get fooled anymore
[21:55]	IsambardPrince	Where they could have just distributed software and become more like Steam, and evaded the tariffs entirely.
[21:55]	IsambardPrince	Their stock price is now tumbling because they planned the Switch 2 to be hardware, and now they'll have to make everything "fuck it" levels of expensive.
[21:56]	IsambardPrince	Sega turned into a software company. I think Nintendo should. They could do it better.
[21:56]	IsambardPrince	It's well known that third-party development on the Nintendo consoles is an aside. People mainly buy them because of strong in house game development.
[21:57]	IsambardPrince	The tariffs are going to lay waste to everything. They could eliminate a lot of their costs.

[22:07]	IsambardPrince	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_on_childlessness
[22:07]	TR Bot	 Tax on childlessness - Wikipedia
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	" Furthermore, those who were medically incapable of giving birth were also exempt to this tax, and many single men fraudulently escaped the tax by claiming infertility and provided fake medical documentation."
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	psydroid2, Canada doesn't want people to know the guy was probably a Muslim.
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	For some reason, the Muslim asshole-lickers in the left-wing parties cover up all their crimes.
[22:10]	IsambardPrince	It's really sickening.
[22:11]	IsambardPrince	Bill Maher was the only Democrat that was criticizing Muslims, and they hated him for it. They shouldn't hate Bill Maher, they should hate the people who brought down those buildings in New York.
[22:11]	IsambardPrince	Hell, even George W. Bush was lying and covering for Muslims while the ruins of the WTC were still on fire and smoldering and the rescue operation still hasn't been abandoned yet.
[22:12]	IsambardPrince	It's just unbelievable the amount of lattitude people are willing to give animals and terrorists, especially when oil turns a bunch of thugs and savages into petrostates. 
[22:12]	IsambardPrince	Islam mainly appeals to total losers.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	There's a reason it spreads heavily through the poorest and least well educated countries, and the US prison system.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	They're not aiming to recruit the best people. They only want muscle.

[22:14]	IsambardPrince	The world would, in no way, be worse off without any Muslims in it.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	We might actually start being able to have street festivals again without worrying someone will drive a car into them.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	They recruit losers and fucking retards who live on the fringes of society.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	They don't have to work hard to recruit prisoners, and felons.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Those people are already pretty mad about having been imprisoned for their crime.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I'd be a fairly tyrannical leader, I admit, but the worst of it wouldn't happen to anyone who didn't have it coming.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	And it would always make some sense. So that's better than what we have now.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	Trump is more interested in performative cruelty than getting anything meaningful accomplished.
[22:29]	psydroid2	why cover for Muslims who either directly or indirectly support such acts of terrorism?
[22:29]	psydroid2	I really don't get it
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	Because Canada would rather let people die than admit that they let the wrong people live there.

[22:32]	IsambardPrince	The government never apologizes for anything. Or if it does it's like, in 1942 it's rounding up people based on racism and sticking them in camps and seizing all their property, and in 1989 it's like "Sorry about that. Yep, we were racists. Here's a check for 5% of what we stole from some of you and no compensation for your relatives who died of malaria and TB there."
[22:33]	IsambardPrince	White douchebag liberals in San Francisco.
[22:33]	IsambardPrince	Living on land stolen from Japanese-Americans who rightly owned it.
[22:33]	psydruid	after all that is happening both here in Northern/Western Europe, Asia and North America you start wondering where you can live in peace away from these people
[22:34]	psydruid	but that's not an actual solution
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	You can't. They spread out so that there's no avoiding them.
[22:34]	psydruid	the solution is obvious
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	The local mosque even has free police protection while their service is going.
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	Something that no Christian church gets.
[22:34]	psydruid	they have Dar-Ul-Islam and Dar-Ul-Harb
[22:35]	psydruid	abode of Islam and abode of kafirs, which has to be converted into Dar-Ul-Islam
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	The government shouldn't protect them more than anyone else. And if it's providing cops, they should at least ask for whatever they're paying the cops.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	I mean, that's two cops standing there whenever the mosque is open who are not responding to any crime that's actually going on.
[22:36]	psydruid	the government shouldn't protect them at all
