| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I got some baby gates at Walmart. | Aug 27 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| IsambardPrince | Kiki tries to slip past my leg and get out. | Aug 27 00:17 |
| IsambardPrince | They'll be delivered on Saturday and that should stop her. | Aug 27 00:18 |
| MinceR | can't Kiki just jump over the baby gates? | Aug 27 00:18 |
| IsambardPrince | I had to use one when I lived in that motel because it opened up straight out into the open right next to a highway, and Leeloo and Bobbi were exit seeking. | Aug 27 00:18 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: She could, but in my experience they try to brush past you, not jump over. | Aug 27 00:19 |
| MinceR | :) | Aug 27 00:19 |
| IsambardPrince | They stopped Leeloo and Bobbi from doing that. | Aug 27 00:19 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Capital One Shopping owed me $109. So I got a Chewy gift card. | Aug 27 00:20 |
| MinceR | Chewbacca? | Aug 27 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Then I set up autoship for Blue Buffalo Wilderness cat food and Arm & Hammer Clump and Seal litter. | Aug 27 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | That triggered them to send me a $30 and a $20 gift card under two promos I stacked. | Aug 27 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So I managed to turn $109 into $159, plus I got a $30 autoship discount. | Aug 27 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So $189. | Aug 27 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Now I won't need cat food for quite a while. | Aug 27 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | That stuff is getting fucking expensive! | Aug 27 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | The good stuff costs like $40-50 a bag now and it's not even the 20-some pound bags you used to get. | Aug 27 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | It's like 14-18 pound. | Aug 27 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: It used to be so cheap to buy cat food that if I filled their bowls up and had to vacuum some of it that spilled over I didn't really care. | Aug 27 00:23 |
| IsambardPrince | But now I only fill the bowl about 60-70% full so there's no overflow. | Aug 27 00:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Not just to control waste but to make sure there's not a bunch of cat food for cockroaches to run off with. | Aug 27 00:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I want them eating my bait not Blue Buffalo Wilderness cat food. | Aug 27 00:23 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 27 00:24 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: There's not much laundry room activity. | Aug 27 00:28 |
| IsambardPrince | I think people are more focused on general cleaning right now. They know they won't be fined for a laundry hamper that's full. | Aug 27 00:29 |
| IsambardPrince | So while they're panicking, I'm doing all my laundry. | Aug 27 00:29 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I'm reallocating all my roach bait stations to the bedroom, living room, and closets. | Aug 27 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The exterminator told me he's going to do the kitchen and the bathroom and needs everything clear and not to use other insecticides. | Aug 27 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Since I know there's roach activity in the utility closet at least, and under the bedroom dresser, I'm re-deploying my existing bait stations. After he leaves I'm going to break open those RAID dual action stations and deploy them in the kitchen and bathroom. | Aug 27 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | That way I know which traps need replaced on what cycle and on the surface it looks like I'm not "getting in his way". | Aug 27 00:36 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I should tell Mark thank you. | Aug 27 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | He was the one that gave me the idea on how to get these heathens to clean up their pigsty. | Aug 27 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I remember that when he was selling the building to Piyush he posted a letter on the main doors saying "There will be an inspection on Wednesday." | Aug 27 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | And everyone panicked and cleaned and there was so much trash and old furniture that Mark had the garbage company come out and clear it like 7-8 times. | Aug 27 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | So I went straight to management and asked them to perform pest control, knowing it would trigger a 48 hour notice to enter and everyone here would panic clean. | Aug 27 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | There are now 6 full dumpsters 1 day later. | Aug 27 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | I only had one kitchen bag full of trash to take out. | Aug 27 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone else did the rest of that. | Aug 27 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | I know how nasty an apartment can get if you don't deep clean it for years. | Aug 27 01:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Between Mandy not doing anything and my arm being broken, our apartment didn't get much more than "the trash goes out once a week maybe" and "spray and wipe whatever you can casually get at" for years. | Aug 27 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | By the time Mark put those notices on the building, I was one of the people that had to put coffee on and spend two days doing nothing but cleaning.. | Aug 27 01:28 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 27 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Mandy didn't do anything to help me clean until I threatened to throw out piles of his stuff while he was at work. | Aug 27 01:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Then he threw some things out and organized. | Aug 27 01:30 |

| IsambardPrince | They were running a strippeed down version of Windows 2000, basically. | Aug 27 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Microsoft said original xbox compatibility was a reason to buy the xbox 360. | Aug 27 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Each month they added a bunch of games that the emulator could run. | Aug 27 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they totally gave up and removed it. | Aug 27 04:46 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Techrights — There's No "Next XBox" | Aug 27 04:46 | |
| IsambardPrince | You could only use the emulator if you already had a version of it, didn't connect to XBOX Live ever again, and it would only play the games it played when they stopped updating it. | Aug 27 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They said the thing that made emulation so difficult was not that they couldn't emulate the CPU or the OS or anything like that. | Aug 27 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It's that the original XBOX games had a DRM scheme that relied on the exact timing of the hardware. | Aug 27 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | And so eventually they just hit a wall and were not able to easily improve the emulator much, but it had served its purpose by then. | Aug 27 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone figured they would just buy this and keep their old games. | Aug 27 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | And so they brought in a XBOX 360 expecting that, just to have partial support then a forced removal of the stuff that did work. | Aug 27 04:48 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | legitimate to include in a free GNU/Linux system. | Aug 27 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Ever since systemD was introduced, I've encountered people who | Aug 27 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | abominated it. Some called it kludgy, some called it inconvenient to | Aug 27 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | modify. Those criticisms may be true, and they would be drawbacks, | Aug 27 07:56 |

| IsambardPrince | The exterminator came out and used MGK Vendetta in the cabinets and behind the drawers and in the bathroom. | Aug 27 18:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I told him I had already treated the hinges with Terro gel so he just left that there. | Aug 27 18:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I moved all the bait stations that were in use into my living room, bedroom, and closets, then when he was done I popped open a dozen RAID Double Control ones and deployed those in the corners and under appliances. | Aug 27 18:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Wherever they go I want them to have something to feed on and die. | Aug 27 18:49 |
| IsambardPrince | I laughed when i saw him using a syringe of MGK Vendetta. The stuff is available on Amazon. It's not cheap but you can buy it yourself if the other option is that you have to hire an exterminator out of pocket, like they got into your house or something and there is no landlord to call. | Aug 27 18:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Orkin and the other exterminator companies are basically using stuff anyone with a web browser can buy on Amazon these days. | Aug 27 18:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | amazon man | Aug 27 18:53 |
| IsambardPrince | If you want to spray your baseboards with something the professionals use, you can just buy MGK Onslaught concentrate and shake it up and mix it in a pump sprayer per the dilution directions then pressurize it and go down the baseboards. It's non-repellent, it does work. It is not highly toxic to mammals, although pets should be kept in an area you're not treating yet until the stuff dries. | Aug 27 18:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i have just asked rianne if she saw a cockroach here | Aug 27 18:54 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | never cockroaches | Aug 27 18:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (i'm sure they exist) | Aug 27 18:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, cockroaches are sneaky. | Aug 27 18:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Take whatever ones you see and assume there's 30-40 more in the walls somewhere. | Aug 27 18:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in $1800 per month per bedrom place.. awful | Aug 27 18:55 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | i mean $pp | Aug 27 18:55 |
| IsambardPrince | If you see or trap 20 roaches, it means you have a big goddamn problem somewhere, and you need to immediately start baiting for them with something that actually works, and/or spraying pro-grade stuff that works following all safety directions. | Aug 27 18:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Deltamethrin (Suspend SC/RAID Perimeter) is not very useful. | Aug 27 18:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They can smell it, they hate it, all it does is send them burrowing even deeper from wherever you sprayed it. | Aug 27 18:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It's only useful for establishing a line you don't want them to cross. | Aug 27 18:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Like keeping them away from the water in your bathroom sink or bathtub. | Aug 27 18:57 |

| IsambardPrince | If you actually want to kill roaches with a spray, you'll use a baseboard spray or IGR (or both) that do not panic or repel them. | Aug 27 18:58 |
| IsambardPrince | The first thing Orkin did at the last place was spray Suspend SC. I saw roaches go crazy and walk out into the middle of the room and die. | Aug 27 18:58 |
| IsambardPrince | But that's because the guy was blindly spraying the stuff and he just happened to hit a few of them while they were out foraging. | Aug 27 18:58 |

| IsambardPrince | They're leaving an all you can eat buffet out, the roaches consume that and whatever standing water they can find, and they multiply due to this reserve of fuel. | Aug 27 19:04 |

| IsambardPrince | Verified Purchase | Aug 27 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | I’ll give this product some credit — I did start seeing dead roaches after placing the baits around the house. But strangely, it also felt like more roaches started showing up afterward. At one point, I literally watched them gathering around the bait like they were enjoying a buffet. | Aug 27 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | The bait definitely attracts them, but in my case, it didn’t seem to reduce the overall problem enough. These roaches must be evolving because they looked way too comfortable around it. Unfortunately, I’ll probably move on and try a different product next time. | Aug 27 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | ---- | Aug 27 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | So he's complaining that the roaches love it and they're dying if they eat it and that's why it gets a 1 star? | Aug 27 20:02 |

This concern is not new, since economists voiced it already during the automation wave of the 1980s. Back then, it had little lasting effect on how productivity gains were actually distributed." | Aug 27 21:00 |
| techrights-news | "These numbers reveal something notable: the layoffs are not primarily driven by economic hardship, since most of the affected companies report growing revenue and profits. Officially, corporations usually justify the cuts with consolidation or efficiency gains tied to AI transformation." | Aug 27 21:00 |
| techrights-news | "In practice, however, a significant share of the freed up money flows directly into building AI infrastructure. Oracle, for instance, estimates that its workforce reduction frees up 8 to 10 billion dollars for AI investment." | Aug 27 21:01 |
