It was interrupted during 19761978 due to the shortage of sodium silico-fluoride. It was resumed only in the Fangcun district of the city, but was halted in 1983 after opponents claimed that fluoride levels were already sufficiently high in local foods and tea. Later analysis in 1988 found that the incidence of dental caries among 4-year-old children had increase [00:16] IsambardPrince d by 62%. The fluoridation reduced the number of cavities, but increased dental fluorosis; the fluoride levels could have been set too high, and low-quality equipment led to inconsistent, and often excessive, fluoride concentrations.[34]" [00:16] IsambardPrince --- [00:16] IsambardPrince MinceR, Low quality Communist equipment dispensing the fluoride. [00:16] IsambardPrince Naturally. [00:16] MinceR sounds a little redundant [00:17] IsambardPrince MinceR, I heard that even as it stands, Russia's defense industry is so bad they can't really produce modern equipment in any real numbers. [00:18] IsambardPrince How did it get this bad? [00:18] IsambardPrince In the Soviet era their stuff wasn't that much worse than ours. [00:18] MinceR afaik it started with muscovy being really behind the west [00:19] MinceR then they industrialized in a hurry, but never cared about quality [00:25] *whatA__ has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.8.7 [Mozilla rv:1.0.0/20020530]) [00:32] *jelly (jelly@00012145.user.oftc.net) has joined #techrights [00:35] IsambardPrince MinceR, Why would they? They loved to brag about how many of a thing they could produce. [00:36] IsambardPrince Not if half of them were usable. [00:36] MinceR :> [00:39] IsambardPrince MinceR, I remember my Dad said they were always concerned about QA at RCA. The televisions they made there. [00:39] IsambardPrince If they made a dud, it had to go back and be worked on again, they couldn't sell it as new, it was not good for the company. If one got out, they had to pay to replace it under warranty. [00:39] IsambardPrince So as a result, a lot of the TVs they made 40 years ago still work if you've got one. [00:39] MinceR :> [00:40] MinceR they didn't realize yet back then that most humans don't give a fuck about product quality (including longevity) [00:40] MinceR now the industry produces the crap most people will put up with [00:40] MinceR as cheaply as possible [00:43] IsambardPrince That might change again.

[00:47] IsambardPrince MinceR, I remember VCR Plus codes. [00:47] IsambardPrince They didn't work right because we lived in Indiana. [00:47] MinceR :> [00:47] MinceR i didn't even have a video cassette player [00:47] IsambardPrince Indiana didn't have Daylight Savings Times. [00:48] MinceR my parents had something against them, but i never found out what [00:48] IsambardPrince VCR Plus assumed you were on the same time as the region the TV Guide was for. [00:48] IsambardPrince We got Ohio's TV Guide, but we weren't always on the same time. [00:49] IsambardPrince Because we never changed time, we were sometimes on CST and sometimes on EDT. [00:49] IsambardPrince So for half the year, your VCR would record the wrong show if you use the VCR+ code/. [00:50] IsambardPrince MinceR, The obvious workaround would be to change the clock on the VCR to match EDT. [00:50] MinceR indeed [00:51] MinceR or figure out how the codes work and fix them [00:51] MinceR possibly with a computer [00:51] IsambardPrince You didn't really need the code. [00:51] IsambardPrince The other reason VCR+ didn't work was because by that point most people had premium cable. [00:52] IsambardPrince So the cable box was the tuner. [00:52] MinceR yeah, but it's probably less work to program the thing if you have a correct code [00:52] MinceR :> [00:52] IsambardPrince If the VCR changed to another channel it would record static. [00:52] IsambardPrince :D [00:52] IsambardPrince So you had to program it to just come on and record channel "3" or something which was the cable box. [00:52] IsambardPrince Then scream "NOBODY TOUCH THAT! It's going to record something!" [00:53] IsambardPrince Naturally that was my dad shouting that, and he always set the downstairs TV and VCR to record something even though he could set the one in his locked "study". [00:53] IsambardPrince That way nobody else could use the TV and he could yell if they changed the channel. [00:54] MinceR :> [00:54] IsambardPrince MinceR, What I usually did was pick the lock to his "study" and go set that VCR to record whatever it was, then put the tape in the VCR downstairs.

I even paid for the privilege of doing so, figuring that the paid version would be superior to the free one. But what I have found confuses me, and I'm wondering if you too have tried any of these tools. From your previous articles, it seems you might not be focused on the latest tools in our industry. So, maybe you've j [04:56] schestowitz[TR2] ust continued to use vim and Makefiles. Have you tried these things, and do you have any words of wisdom for the rest of us who are looking at them now?" [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] someone explained to me [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] that the best rebuttal is, [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] coding doooes not take long [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] typing in the code [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] what takes long is testing [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] and comprehension [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] if you are a decent code [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] then writing many lines of code is not the important thing [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] sometimes removing code is the hard part [04:57] schestowitz[TR2] so all this SLOP misses the point [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] it spews out code you do not know [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] is now tested [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] and might do horrible thing [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] you end up wasting more time learning it [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] than it would take you to write something better [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] the email analogy is aprt her [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] i often sayu [04:58] schestowitz[TR2] ok, so chaffbots writew your emasils?

[04:58] schestowitz[TR2] do yyyou check what emails you send out? [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] no? [04:59] IsambardPrince But Safari seems to handle it differently. [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] if you can type fast, what's the point? [04:59] IsambardPrince It loads the text then a Javascript loads and takes it away [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] you end up reading messages you do not wish to send [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] and correcting them would take longer than typing thm right in the first place [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] and get this [04:59] IsambardPrince So if you're quick you can hit Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C and then past the text somewhere. [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] say i sent some really bad message to something [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] with my anme on it [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] but composed by bot [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] now i have two option [04:59] schestowitz[TR2] 1)justify it ● May 28 [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] 2 blame it on bot [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] if I do (2) [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] then I tell the person I sent it to [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] "hey, i don't value you as a person, so i send a bot to talk to you" [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] what would this person think of me? [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] so basically Email is NOT a use case for slop [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] unless you're an idiott [05:00] schestowitz[TR2] same for legal filings, medical advice etc. [05:01] schestowitz[TR2] So if you're quick you can hit Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C and then past the text somewhere.
