[00:11]	DaemonFC	@warhammerguy
[00:11]	DaemonFC	11 years ago
[00:11]	DaemonFC	Conan! What is best in life!?
[00:11]	DaemonFC	Conan:To crush the remake, see its actors driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the producers!
[00:11]	DaemonFC	---
[00:11]	DaemonFC	:)
[00:11]	DaemonFC	The remake deserved to flop.
[00:11]	MinceR	:)
[00:11]	DaemonFC	The company probably made more money suing bittorrent users than it did on sales.
[00:11]	DaemonFC	That's how bad it was.
[00:12]	DaemonFC	It's rare, not unheard of, but rare, to see a major movie production company put lawyers after people that are so rapacious they border on Prenda Law.
[00:13]	DaemonFC	But Conan and The Hurt Locker are two good examples of this happening.
[00:14]	DaemonFC	The Dallas Buyer's Club as well.
[00:14]	DaemonFC	There they made a movie that was at least not terrible.
[00:16]	DaemonFC	Republicans like my parents who voted for Ronald Reagan downplay what the AIDS pandemic response of the administration was. It was effectively a holocaust. They didn't necessarily cause it, but they also didn't mind that it was happening, so the feds didn't lift a finger to help. They didn't even suggest using condoms.
[00:16]	DaemonFC	And so they deride movies like this or "And the Band Played On" as "liberal tripe".
[00:17]	DaemonFC	https://forward.com/fast-forward/574619/palestinian-protest-doctors-against-genocide-holocaust-museum-washington/
[00:17]	TR Bot	group cancels protest at US Holocaust Museum The Forward
[00:18]	DaemonFC	The modern Democratic Party shares a lot in common with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
[00:18]	DaemonFC	If you go back to the 1980s, it was the American Nazi Party that was marching against the Jews in Illinois and protesting outside the holocaust museum there.
[00:18]	DaemonFC	You flash forward to today, it's people like Ariadne.
[00:19]	DaemonFC	Most decent Americans were appalled by what was going on with the ANP and Skokie at least tried to stop the demonstrations with ordinances and court action to make it more difficult.

[00:20]	DaemonFC	But the Nazis eventually won the court case and went on the march and now it's the liberals and some of the Jews even, who have the same sort of demonstrations, at the same places, in favor of some of the same types of people.
[00:21]	DaemonFC	There's few good things I have to say about the Nazis, very few. Possibly one of the few things I'll give them credit for is they had some very sharp uniforms.
[00:21]	DaemonFC	It made a distinct impression, very good for the propaganda I'm sure.
[00:22]	DaemonFC	You get Trump's supporters out and they're in sweatpants and rascal scooters not sharply designed uniforms with creases. So they don't even have that.
[00:24]	qrpnxz	I'm being threatened online for reading and agreeing with a couple of techrights articles. Nevermind that you have little good to say about Nazis, supposedly techrights is Nazi. I've yet to see any evidence of that.
[00:25]	MinceR	maybe sharp uniforms wouldn't even be that effective today
[00:26]	DaemonFC	I was very impressed with the U-Boat I went through, and it was just an IXC.
[00:26]	DaemonFC	One of the first ones to go into service around 1940. Not even their most advanced ones from late in the war.
[00:27]	DaemonFC	They make good stuff in Germany. It's not surprising they were about 20 years ahead of us in submarine designs.
[00:28]	MinceR	they make good stuff, just not good cars
[00:29]	DaemonFC	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_IX_submarine
[00:29]	TR Bot	 Type IX submarine - Wikipedia
[00:30]	DaemonFC	From the size of it outside you wouldn't expect the crew quarters to be as cramped as they were.
[00:31]	DaemonFC	On modern subs you get a lot of creature comforts. They can stay out there indefinitely, submerged, really quiet, go twice as deep. Everyone gets good food and showers and exercise equipment. No diesel fumes and crap, but I mean.... For the early 1940s, the IX was an impressive machine.

[00:33]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I wonder why, exactly, France capitulated so quickly.
[00:33]	DaemonFC	Other than "It's France, what do you expect?"
[00:33]	DaemonFC	I mean, I know the Nazis had a lot of sympathizers in France.
[00:33]	DaemonFC	Enough to set up a collaborator government with, very quickly.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	Of course, the British would have ended up that way too probably, if they didn't benefit from the channel.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	Effectively a moat. Keeps the tanks from just rolling in.
[00:44]	MinceR	iirc their Maginot line failed and they couldn't counter the German's tactics effectively
[00:51]	DaemonFC	Yeah, the Ardennes.
[00:51]	DaemonFC	They figured it was impassable terrain so why defend that heavily.
[00:52]	DaemonFC	The Germans did encounter obstacles there obviously, but it was only enough to slow them down.
[00:52]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
[00:52]	DaemonFC	They got their army through without many losses and bypassed the fixed point defenses entirely.
[00:54]	DaemonFC	MinceR: In addition to Microsoft's generally horrible security standards, Outlook Webmail opens remote images even if it's in your spam folder.

[01:13]	DaemonFC	The junk removal people are coming.
[01:13]	DaemonFC	Finally I can get rid of this mattress that's making me hurt all over and unpack that one I grabbed on Amazon.
[01:14]	DaemonFC	I didn't really want one that had coils in it but it was the only mattress I could buy during COVID and didn't cost a ton.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	When they're all foam and you need rid of them you can just take your time and shred the foam up and dispose of it in bags until it's gone.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	Whenever the new one wears out I might just "upcycle it" and use it for bean bag chair stuffing.

[01:15]	DaemonFC	12" king size bed, I'll never run out.
[01:16]	DaemonFC	They sell shredded memory foam on Amazon for bean bag chairs and it's just the waste from making mattresses and pillows. Still quite expensive.
[01:17]	DaemonFC	It works better than polystyrene beads because it doesn't collapse as readily.
[01:17]	DaemonFC	The whole bean bag chair conspiracy is they get to sell you bean refills constantly.
[01:19]	DaemonFC	You know. The floor is more comfortable than that stupid couch from Bob's Discount Furniture.
[01:19]	DaemonFC	Damn.
[01:19]	DaemonFC	I might get something for the floor that just gives my ass some padding and something to pad the wall and call it a day.

[01:20]	DaemonFC	Beats more garbage furniture that looks like it belongs in some sad dorm room.
[01:22]	DaemonFC	MinceR: They make it look nice in the showroom, and very reasonably priced.
[01:23]	DaemonFC	Then you go and sit on it one day and "CRUNCH".
[01:23]	DaemonFC	Not sure if the couch or me or both....
[01:24]	MinceR	"yum yum"
[01:28]	DaemonFC	MARISOL has some odd choices in restaurant dining. She recommended a diner as "very reasonably priced". Mandy and I went over there and it was not. Not only that, I could have done better at home with some eggs, Mary Kitchen canned corned beef hash, a bottle of Tabasco, and the cheapest bulk Utz coffee they sell.
[01:28]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I did look over the coffee gadgets at IKEA and some of them looked pretty flimsy and implausible.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	I did enjoy the YouTube video where that coffee guy bought one of each and actually demonstrated trying to use it.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	I think my favorite one was a pour over system that was just a goddamn funnel and a glass jar that had some markings, but they didn't tell you what the markings meant.
[01:30]	DaemonFC	It's like the worst pour over maker system I've ever seen where someone went to design it and decided to make it shout fuck you at the user every step of the way.
[01:30]	DaemonFC	What is the point of unmarked lines?
[01:31]	DaemonFC	Okay, even if it's in Metric tell me what the lines are in Metric so I can figure out how many Tablespoons of coffee grounds I need to reach that line.
[01:31]	DaemonFC	This reminded me of Scotty Kilmer going over a Volvo.
[01:32]	DaemonFC	He says, "And the stupid Swedes put the battery in the trunk."
[01:32]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I thought the battery cables on the Buick were horrible, until I saw that.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	They have to run the length of the car to get into the trunk. But the alternator is in the engine compartment.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	:/
[01:33]	MinceR	:)
[01:33]	MinceR	there are a bunch of cars with the engine in the front and the battery in the back
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Oh God.
[01:33]	MinceR	sometimes allegedly for mass distribution reasons
[01:33]	DaemonFC	I've never seen that in an American car.
[01:43]	MinceR	apparently Chevy HHR-s and Chevy Cobalts are like that
[01:46]	MinceR	in some cars there's not enough space beside the engine in the front for a battery

[02:00]	MinceR	:)
[02:01]	admfubar	then you had the vectra, i think that was its name... all hand made from aircraft grade aluminum, engine red lined and 10,000 rpm, and they use the same vehicle in all the crash tests, it passed with flying colors.

[02:26]	DaemonFC	The Chevy Hah-Hah Right!.
[02:27]	DaemonFC	They need to just go back to the trucks we had in the 80s.
[02:27]	DaemonFC	They worked fine.
[02:27]	DaemonFC	None of this plastic headlamp shit either.
[02:36]	DaemonFC	MinceR: The Mexican guy pulled up in his van with a televangelist on the radio so loud you could hear him screaming Jesus Jesus Jesus!!! from hundreds of feet away.
[02:36]	MinceR	lol
[02:36]	DaemonFC	I told one of the junk removal people "Sounds like my grandmother's TV."
[02:37]	MinceR	at least did it pronounce Jess correctly, in Spanish?
[02:37]	DaemonFC	Thank you, Jesus!

[02:38]	DaemonFC	There's something called Legacy Update for Windows XP.
[02:38]	admfubar	Le Gassy!
[02:38]	DaemonFC	It actually finds drivers for almost anything there ever has been an XP driver for.
[02:38]	DaemonFC	And it doesn't need ActiveX.
[02:38]	DaemonFC	So they've vastly improved on Windows Update.
[02:38]	MinceR	:)

[02:51]	DaemonFC	The likely failure mode is that water froze in the water level indicator and now that's leaking can someone explain to me the social benefit of water getting bigger when it's cold
[02:51]	DaemonFC	----
[02:51]	DaemonFC	It blows up Matt's plumbing.
[02:51]	DaemonFC	And hilarity ensues.
[02:52]	DaemonFC	Ralph Wiggums style.
[02:52]	DaemonFC	"Haha! I'm a plumber!"
[02:53]	DaemonFC	I understand how to fix certain issues on my car usually because they still built it mostly mechanical and very modular back then.
[02:53]	DaemonFC	So if a piece fails, you figure out what's making the noise or what the code is and you just throw that piece away and replace it.
[02:53]	DaemonFC	Today, I'd just be totally screwed.
[02:53]	DaemonFC	They're mostly software.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	They design the thing out of crap and plastic and of course plastic ages very well at extreme temperatures.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	Especially going from subzero temperatures to hundreds of degrees F in a matter of minutes repeatedly.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	:)
[02:55]	DaemonFC	MinceR: The intakes on the Buick are fine! All they had to do to get the Dex-Cool gunk off them was sandblast a bit. They have that equipment laying around anyway because a lot of people drive GDI engines now that fill up the cylinders with carbon and don't run right.
[02:56]	DaemonFC	The gaskets needed replaced.
[02:56]	DaemonFC	Still, lots cheaper than if your intakes crack.
[02:56]	DaemonFC	That happens a lot easier with plastic than a big hunk of aluminum.
[02:56]	MinceR	lol @ sjw expecting physics to work on basics of social benefit
[02:56]	DaemonFC	Aluminum can crack at extreme temperatures, but there's a lot of old 3800s in a junkyard where the intakes didn't crack.
[02:56]	DaemonFC	So just replace yours with that.
[02:57]	DaemonFC	But you hardly ever see that.
[02:57]	DaemonFC	You have to get a major cooling system failure to see that.
[02:57]	DaemonFC	And if you don't want to mess with a junkyard, you could "downgrade" to plastic intakes.
[02:58]	DaemonFC	They won't last forever but they do tend to last 15+ years, and if the car's already 16....
[02:58]	DaemonFC	At this point you may even want to.
[02:59]	DaemonFC	Because if you've got to replace them anyway you might be able to get the weight of the car down with plastic and get a little better gas mileage.
[02:59]	DaemonFC	Which is one of the reasons GM went that way.

[04:48]	DaemonFC	Yeah, what that mattress from Walmart turned into.
[04:49]	schestowitz	:)
[04:49]	DaemonFC	There's a lot of these bed in a box companies now.
[04:49]	DaemonFC	Some of them target the MARISOLs.
[04:50]	DaemonFC	They put them at CostCo and say you're getting a deal at ONLY $1400 for a mattress. And it's just a $300 mattress in a different box.
[04:50]	DaemonFC	Here, PURPLE foam, $1,400.
[04:50]	DaemonFC	"It's MALP on a stick, it can't do everything." 
[04:50]	DaemonFC	MinceR: ^
[04:51]	DaemonFC	Bed in a box is the smartest way to go.
[04:51]	DaemonFC	You can just bypass those mattress stores and the pesky sales critters.
[04:51]	DaemonFC	Just because you paid a ton from a store with a critter doesn't mean you won't hate the bed.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	Salesmen are the worst. Cars, furniture....
[04:52]	DaemonFC	They're like pick up artists down at the bar.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	They're all over you until they get what they want and then you'll never hear from them again.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	Trouble with the product? That's your problem.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	You bought something yesterday. You don't exist anymore unless you're back for another one.
[04:57]	DaemonFC	If you buy a cheap memory foam mattress and still aren't comfortable, you can plop 4" of memory foam on that as a topper for $100.

[04:57]	DaemonFC	16" of foam, with at least 7" of the foam being memory foam is....MOAR foam than you get with the $1,800 Purple.
[04:58]	DaemonFC	I'm not even sure how Purple and Casper are in business. They've already managed to cause a bunch of reviews along the lines of "Boy did I get had. This is the worst mattress I've ever slept on." after the people lost $2,000 on one. And some of them were given FREE mattresses to review and said they hated it and now they had to figure out how to dispose of it.

[04:59]	DaemonFC	So basically, people pay $2,000 for this, or they're supposed to, because of a brand.
● Dec 27
[05:00]	DaemonFC	It's pretty bad when you give someone your "premium product" for free instead of $2,000 for their "honest review" and then they honestly tell people "God damn it, now I have to get rid of this."
[05:01]	DaemonFC	I guess the guy running Casper hasn't ever slept on one of his own mattresses. "We'll give some away to pad our Amazon reviews and.....Oh shit."

[05:17]	DaemonFC	What Happened? On October 10, 2023, one of Xfinitys software providers, Citrix, announced a vulnerability in one of its products used by Xfinity and thousands of other companies worldwide. At the time Citrix made this announcement, it released a patch to fix the vulnerability. Citrix issued additional mitigation guidance on October 23, 2023. We promptly patched and mitigated our systems.
[05:17]	DaemonFC	However, we subsequently discovered that prior to mitigation, between October 16 and October 19, 2023, there was unauthorized access to some of our internal systems that we concluded was a result of this vulnerability. We notified federal law enforcement and conducted an investigation into the nature and scope of the incident. On November 16, 2023, it was determined that information was likely acquired.
[05:17]	DaemonFC	
[05:17]	DaemonFC	  
[05:17]	DaemonFC	What Information Was Involved? On December 6, 2023, we concluded that the information included usernames and hashed passwords; for some customers, other information was also included, such as names, contact information, last four digits of social security numbers, dates of birth and/or secret questions and answers. However, our data analysis is continuing, and we will provide additional notices as appropriate.
[05:17]	DaemonFC	
[05:17]	DaemonFC	  
[05:17]	DaemonFC	What We Are Doing. To protect your account, we have proactively asked you to reset your password. The next time you login to your Xfinity account, you will be prompted to change your password, if you havent been asked to do so already.

[05:17]	DaemonFC	  
[05:17]	DaemonFC	What You Can Do. We strongly encourage you to enroll in two-factor or multi-factor authentication. While we advise customers not to re-use passwords across multiple accounts, if you do use the same information elsewhere, we recommend that you change the information on those other accounts, as well. You can review the Additional Information section below for information on how you can further protect your personal information.
[05:17]	DaemonFC

[05:20]	DaemonFC	There's really no good technical reason to drop PC BIOS support.
[05:21]	DaemonFC	It shouldn't even be considered for removal for any sort of distribution sane people would use until at least 2030.
[05:21]	DaemonFC	They were still shipping computers that effectively used it until at least 2011/2012 afaik because some of the UEFI on those things was too bad to be trusted, so they just forced it into BIOS CSM and tested those interfaces to the OS.
[05:22]	DaemonFC	So the user can't take it out of that mode.
[05:22]	DaemonFC	3dfx voodoo cards are supported for well over 20 years.
[05:22]	DaemonFC	I think that distros should give PC BIOS users a while.
[05:23]	DaemonFC	There becomes a point where nobody has one and you can't test it.
[05:23]	DaemonFC	You can't tell me there's no Debian developer with access to something that can be put in a BIOS-like mode to test out just to make sure it still basically works.
[05:24]	DaemonFC	I can still do that with my late 2016 Skylake laptop.
[05:25]	DaemonFC	As we move away from this there's going to be less and less certainty that everything you could potentially try to boot into Debian will work, but as long as it "should" and "probably" works, what's the harm in leaving it?
[05:26]	DaemonFC	There's probably more computers sold right this very minute that don't boot, in UEFI, because the code is such unbelievable absolute dogshit or because it's malicious.

[06:00]	DaemonFC	Debian dropping x86-32 as its own thing. Who cares? I don't.
[06:00]	DaemonFC	I was already using x86-64 when it was pretty new and people were like "Why are you using that? It's much easier to get Flash working on the 32-bit one. Who needs more than 4 GB of RAM? Who even has more than 4 GB of RAM? Justify your use case!"
[06:01]	DaemonFC	Nicolas Cage voice: "Two reasons. 1. This one has more general purpose registers. And 2. I have 8 GB of memory."
[06:02]	DaemonFC	"If I wanted to be stuck with 3.2 GB of usable RAM I could stay on shit-ass Windows XP. Thanks for playing."
[06:03]	DaemonFC	"Well, you need Windows to game."
[06:03]	DaemonFC	That old chestnut.
[06:04]	DaemonFC	Wasn't even really true 20 years ago, though the Linux side of things improves every year.
[06:04]	DaemonFC	It's not that there was nothing to play on Linux ~20 years ago. There were a lot of things to play. If it got a Linux port it was probably loved by its developer because there was little or no money in doing it at that point.
[06:05]	DaemonFC	They ran Linux, they wanted the game on Linux. They ported it expecting to break even at best.
[06:05]	DaemonFC	It was probably a decent game.
[06:06]	DaemonFC	Big budget games where they rush to get it out and then you realize it has 150,000 bugs in it and to get it playable the fans are going to have to go through patching this shitfest themselves after paying $70 a copy was generally what people complained didn't run easily.
[06:07]	DaemonFC	Bugs ruin games. As do higher price points when you're broke.
[06:07]	DaemonFC	Things that were actually play tested, which at least work, are often better than that.
[06:08]	DaemonFC	You go back to the 90s, every game almost was possible to play test, especially for things like the late 80s early 90s consoles.
[06:08]	DaemonFC	They did what they did and if it didn't do anything weird there, you knew it was working fine and went on.
[06:08]	DaemonFC	Sure there's bugs in some of them. They also tend not to matter.
[06:09]	DaemonFC	Like Minus World in Super Mario. There's only one really difficult way to get there, if you know about it, and you'd have to deliberately brick that session of the game to do it.
[06:10]	DaemonFC	Xorg having some bugs get fixed recently is "evidence that it's broken and obsolete and terrible".
[06:10]	DaemonFC	Do they ever find any bugs in GNOME? Firefox? Chrome?
[06:10]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Alan Coopersmith is rewriting parts of the Xorg Server in Modern C..
[06:11]	DaemonFC	Because Fedora is flipping some switches in GCC and turning warnings into compile time errors.
[06:12]	DaemonFC	I'm not sure what the benefit of porting those sections to a modern version of C is. I read this "feature" and apparently you can still tell the compiler to ignore it as an "error" and continue building it.
[06:12]	DaemonFC	This code has worked for ~40 years. That code has never worked.
[06:13]	DaemonFC	It's a phenomenon I noticed when doing maintenance work on my cars.
[06:14]	DaemonFC	Sometimes you find a part and you go "That's cheap to replace. The one that's on it is old. I'll replace that part."
[06:14]	DaemonFC	Then it turns out that the one that came with the car in 1995 was working fine and the part they made in Mexico or China doesn't even last a month.
[06:14]	DaemonFC	So if I ever do something like this now, I save the original part, just in case.
[06:15]	DaemonFC	You never know where they get this crap from or what kind of penny pinching they've done.
[06:15]	DaemonFC	But....
[06:15]	DaemonFC	"This one works. That one has Never Worked."
[06:16]	DaemonFC	They never had the kind of quality control in Mexico or China that we had when things were made here.
[06:17]	DaemonFC	That's why you find 60 and 70 year old kitchen appliances that were made in America that still work fine and you buy a new GE percolator at Walmart and it blows up 6 months later.
[06:18]	DaemonFC	The mentality has shifted in corporate governance from one of "If you piss off your customer, he'll buy from the other guy." to "Fuck the customer. When this one blows up where else is he gonna go? All our competitors are operating as badly as us. LOL"

[06:20]	DaemonFC	I think Harvey said "She" would buy an EV. I wish her all the frustration and sorrow that comes with that.
[06:20]	DaemonFC	Including a $15,000 battery you need and can't get in like 6 years when you're still making payments on it.
[06:21]	DaemonFC	Constantly looking at the range because you know there's no chargers and you'll break down if you're not careful.
[06:21]	DaemonFC	And even if you find a "fast" charger, good luck. Hope you have something to do when your car is charging "fast", for the next 2 hours.
[06:21]	DaemonFC	:)
[06:21]	DaemonFC	MinceR: ^
[06:22]	DaemonFC	For people who never have to drive anywhere and mostly own an EV to brag about owning an EV, and have a lot of money to shovel in a furnace for this garbage and nonsense, more power to you.
[06:24]	DaemonFC	These EVs they sell now are a lot like that microwave that my dad bought in 1974 for $500 (in 1974) that could burn water.
[06:24]	DaemonFC	He never throws anything out so we had to use that fucker in the 90s.
[06:24]	DaemonFC	When I was a kid I'd toss a hotdog in it, turn the dial, and run behind the wall and cup my hands around my balls.
[06:24]	DaemonFC	:)
[06:26]	DaemonFC	One year for Christmas, my parents got my brother this UFO toy that was really loud and obnoxious, so I threw it in the microwave and turned the dial and it light up all the lights and went "POP!" and then I tossed it back in his toybox and pretended to have no idea why it wouldn't work.
[06:29]	DaemonFC	My parents never wanted to fully invest in either one of us. Things were going mostly okay with me until they had my brother, then they realized that he was going to be so much more difficult and so much more not like THEY wanted him to be than I was, so they both threw in the hat and called it and we'll both be suffering for this, years after they both die.
[06:31]	DaemonFC	That's sort of what it feels like being an only child for so long and then your parents announce they're having another one. All their attention and "love" goes to the other one, and then when that one disappoints, they split and focus on their own vanity, selfishness, and narcissistic pursuits. And as bad as they were, neither one of them were a Brandon Lobsta.
[06:31]	DaemonFC	I really feel bad for both of his kids and I hope and pray for them (as an atheist, but just in case) that neither one of them gets the mental illness genes.
[06:32]	DaemonFC	And I'm not saying that the trans thing is itself the A-side of the double-feature.
[06:32]	DaemonFC	I'd probably figure it to be the B-side of a Borderline Personality starter.
[06:35]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Idealization and devaluation are how Lobsta sees you.
[06:35]	DaemonFC	She wanted her a man man.
[06:35]	DaemonFC	Then when you were not warm to the idea, well.
[06:35]	DaemonFC	RAAAAAAGE!!!!!!
[06:35]	DaemonFC	And where does this go? You, your wife....Especially the wife.
[06:46]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I noticed while I was trying the bleached Great Value number 4s that they make my coffee a lot better than the Melitta number 4s.
[06:46]	DaemonFC	Melitta has thicker paper and "micro-holes" to "enhance the flavor" and I think something about this is making the coffee more bold, unbelievably bold, almost sort of a "Fuck you!" bold.
[06:47]	DaemonFC	The cheaper filters seem to make a better cup of coffee even though they're roughly the same size and shape.

[09:21]	DaemonFC	If you were wrongly convicted by Illinois, AND lose 20 years of your life getting sodomized in one of its more hellish prisons, AND manage to appeal and get the conviction overturned somehow while writing the appeal on some toilet paper from your cell, you get, at most, $36,000 by suing them.

[10:09]	DaemonFC	I think it strikes a happy balance between not enough filter (the permanent cone with the mesh) which gets too many oils, sediments, and sludge and grit in your coffee, and the Melitta and Brew Rite, which seem to cause slightly too much extraction and block some of the stuff you actually do want in the coffee.
[10:09]	DaemonFC	It seems the thinner paper is better.
[10:10]	DaemonFC	Technivorm seems to have optimized this machine a little too much in favor of overextraction vs. underextraction.
[10:11]	DaemonFC	So I think Walmart's filters accidentally nudge things back the other way a bit.
[10:11]	DaemonFC	Which is amusing because Technivorm has their own filters which they want to sell you that they claim are optimized for their machine.
[10:11]	DaemonFC	I wonder if they're doing the same thing and punishing you with overextracted coffee if you go off brand.
[10:13]	DaemonFC	It would be funny if they designed it as follows. "We think you'll like our filters better. Here's ten to get you going." Then you go "GAH! I'm not paying $8 for 100 filters. Are you out of your mind?" Then you get the Melitta or something for $3.74 per 100, got "Aghhh! What's wrong with these? Bitter coffee!"
[10:14]	DaemonFC	But all the while, the Moccamaster filters are better because they've been designed to use less paper, like the $2.92 Great Value.
[10:14]	DaemonFC	Less restrictive, you're back to lower extraction from filter resistance.

[10:15]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Thoughts?
[10:15]	DaemonFC	It's possible using a cone brew basket helps this along because it's difficult to ensure that you'll get more extraction out of the Bunn-style filters.
[10:16]	DaemonFC	There's so many more suppliers and many of the cheaper ones use thinner paper.
[10:16]	DaemonFC	Harder to sell both the problem and the solution when there's more than a few other manufacturers of the filter shape.

[21:58]	DaemonFC	[12/27/23 6:11 am] <psydruid> It's Europeans who are conservative about it. Especially people here in the Netherlands, who are Microsoft's unofficial marketing department.
[21:58]	DaemonFC	Do they do a lot of head transplants in the Netherlands.
[21:59]	DaemonFC	Have one of those nice biracial photo people with a white head and a black body?

[21:59]	TR Bot	 What comes after open source? Bruce Perens is working on it The Register
[21:59]	DaemonFC	[12/27/23 6:25 am] <psydruid> Invading Guyana for oil isn't enough, they have to come to the US for a better $$$ life. They're the Middle Easterners of the Americas.
[21:59]	DaemonFC	Trump telling CBP to fire tear gas across the border is starting to make a lot of rational sense.
● Dec 27
[22:01]	DaemonFC	At the time it seemed very disproportionate to the actual threat being posed.
[22:01]	DaemonFC	Now that they're swarming us by the millions, it seems like a very logical response. Unfortunately, nobody will do it, which is why Trump stands a good chance of winning.
[22:02]	DaemonFC	They're swarming in numbers where they know you can't get them all and even if you get some they'll just try again with the next swarm.
[22:02]	DaemonFC	So any "less lethal" crowd control option is starting to seem acceptable, justifiable, in my opinion.
[22:02]	DaemonFC	Obviously I don't support "trying" to kill people, but they should be strongly discouraged.
[22:04]	DaemonFC	Texas DoJ says that 24% of male "asylum seekers" are actually caught smuggling enough fentanyl to kill an entire town.
[22:05]	DaemonFC	SO I mean, yeah. "Refugees" and in the mean time, this trash bogs down our system and people who are applying the legal way have to wait longer and compete for employment with people who are openly breaking our laws
[22:06]	DaemonFC	I support Texas for trying to do something to keep them on the other side of the border. It's unfortunate that it is falling to a State government to be doing what the federal government is legally required to protect us from.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Yes, this does fall under the "Insurrection and Rebellion" clause. The US Constitution says that States may "declare war" to repel an invasion if the federal government is unable or unwilling to protect them.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	So Texas is on solid Constitutional footing.
[22:08]	DaemonFC	Biden is doing such an incompetent and terrible job as our President that he's basically sitting there fiddling while the country burns and breaks into separate nation states.
[22:08]	MinceR	i hope Perens doesn't really want to do this on ShitHub
[22:09]	MinceR	it either won't happen or the redmond mafia will insist on being exempted from having to pay, in exchange for using ShitHub
[22:09]	DaemonFC	And if he thinks Microsoft and the rest of Corporate America is going to prop him up, good luck.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	They already supported Trump for allowing them to openly fuck the US taxpayers.
[22:09]	MinceR	DaemonFC: what do you think most of your presidents did?
[22:09]	DaemonFC	And now that they get back tax bills and antitrust cases from biden, they really want him gone.
[22:09]	MinceR	at least starting with nixon
[22:10]	DaemonFC	I think what will happen is there will be a shitstorm of dark money going to Republican super pacs, like we've never seen before.
[22:11]	DaemonFC	The people with the money want Biden gone yesterday because he's demanding taxes and enforcing competition laws. The only thing he IS doing for them is supplying them with cheap illegal immigrant labor to compete for low skill jobs.
[22:11]	DaemonFC	That's the only thing.
[22:12]	DaemonFC	He's made this calculation that the people working near the minimum wage who are citizens probably want Trump back.
[22:12]	DaemonFC	So he'll throw them into chaos and make it impossible to find work so they'll go homeless and can't vote/

[22:23]	DaemonFC	The 1% used to be like "The rich get ahead by hard work." Now it's "They get a billion a year in retirement for having done considerable harm to the company as CEO."
[22:23]	MinceR	the most profitable activity in the world
[22:27]	DaemonFC	The Microsoft Outlook server has crashed.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	Nobody can get their email, over IMAP or the Web.
[22:30]	DaemonFC	Ah there it goes.
[22:30]	DaemonFC	Was worried that they would say suspicious activity reset your password again because of my unique setup.
[22:31]	DaemonFC	Of using a real email client that's not stuffed full of ads, and doesn't load remote images from mail in my spam folder.
[22:31]	DaemonFC	Lobster was nice enough to crapflood my email.
[22:31]	DaemonFC	Fortunately, SeaMonkey can deal with it.
[22:36]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I really liked the Saul Goodman character in Breaking Bad. Walt: "Did Jesse do that to you!?" Saul: "Yeah, but you have to understand....deep down he really loves me."
[22:37]	DaemonFC	Fitting response from an attorney who mostly handles cases from derelicts who don't pay the IRS, the landlord, or the payday loan store, but have plenty of money to beat their wife and hire him to defend them.

[23:21]	TR Bot	 Teen who leaked Grand Theft Auto VI sentenced to indefinite stay in "secure hospital," report says - CBS News
[23:21]	Sompi	"While on bail awaiting sentencing for the cyberattacks and despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj carried out the Grand Theft Auto hack using an Amazon Fire TV Stick, a hotel television and his mobile phone, BBC reported. He breached the company's internal messaging system and wrote, "if Rockstar does not contact me on Telegram within 24 hours I will start releasing the source code." He publicly 
[23:21]	Sompi	posted the code and clips of the video game shortly thereafter, according to the broadcaster."
[23:22]	Sompi	I don't think that's very realistic. I wonder what _really_ is behind that

[23:33]	DaemonFC	The police blaming a crime they can't solve on someone that's already sitting in jail is not a new tactic.

[23:34]	TR Bot	 Pre-trial release denied for convicted murderer accused of DUI crash that left grandfather dead near Lake Villa
[23:34]	DaemonFC	JB Pritzker's parole board let a convicted murderer out of prison.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	So he got drunk and ran over someone and killed them.

[23:41]	TR Bot	 City council to vote on ordinance that would allow McHenry to impound buses that drop off migrants
[23:41]	DaemonFC	All these cities in Illinois are passing this ordinance. So the buses go to some city that doesn't have one yet.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	I think it's better if more places pass this because it's less places near me that the bus companies will risk dropping off more trash, leeches, and criminals from Venezuela.

[23:43]	TR Bot	 Man released by judge after allegedly strangling woman in Lake in the Hills arrested hours later for violating release conditions
[23:43]	DaemonFC	"A judge released a man after he was arrested for strangling a woman, leaving her injured, in Lake in the Hills before being arrested again hours following his release for entering the victims residence."
[23:43]	DaemonFC	Prosecutor: Your honor, this man is obviously homicidal!

[23:49]	TR Bot	 Father of Highland Park shooter files for bankruptcy, says he has $1.6 million in unsecured debt
[23:49]	DaemonFC	Good, fuck him.
[23:49]	DaemonFC	Asshole.
[23:50]	DaemonFC	He deserved worse than that complete charade of a plea deal that Eric Rinehart gave him.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	He's going to have everything he does own liquidated to pay what can go out to the victims of the parade attack.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	But it doesn't seem like it's much.
[23:52]	DaemonFC	He probably spent most of it hiring lawyers to fend off the prosecutor, so all Rinehart really did was drain even more money from the victims of the attack.
