[00:22]	IsambardPrince	"Elon Musk has re-entered the debate on the bill. On X, he wrote: The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country! He called it utterly insane and destructive. Its not clear how much influence Musk retains over senators, but his views certainly do not help the Republican leadership."
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	I hate to agree with Elon Musk, but he's right about Trump's bill.

[01:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I'm surprised this disc is playing. Badly scratched.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	Anyway, The Naked Prey. Last time I saw it was on VHS.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	This rich guy on safari is making a seriously bad move here.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	A friendly tribe asks for a few trinkets for their chief and he argues with the safari guide he is paying and says he's not giving them anything.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	I think this is what starts the hunt.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	The human hunt, that is. :)
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	"I prefer friendly."
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	:D
[01:08]	IsambardPrince	Stupid rich dentists and their ignorance.
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	Showing contempt of a big group of people who are well armed is not a great idea when they'll let you pass through unharmed if you show respect. Seriously bad idea.
[01:09]	MinceR	IsambardPrince: "I will not buy this record, it is scratched."
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	That's what they usually do.
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	Get scratched and have the needle grind in dest permanently.
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	Until you have a popping, skipping, hissing mess.
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	I hate vinyl.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	That guy bragging about killing 14 elephants for their tusks deserves to die in a human hunt.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	What an asshole.
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	When one person goes and kills a few elephants for ivory, it's not a big deal. When many do it, soon you have no more elephants. Which is a big problem. Ecosystems collapse due to overhunting, and so it should be punished, severely.
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	It's the same reason you have laws against many socially undesirable things. Why is there potentially a $2,000 fine for throwing a McDonald's cup out a car windows? Well, one person doing it isn't much of a problem. Millions doing it becomes unsightly, an environmental problem even.
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	I happen to think there should be a $50,000 fine for throwing litter out your car window.
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	That way even if it almost never gets punished, some people will be punished so harshly that the rest won't take even a small chance.
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	The way the State collects fines means that for lower income people, they might never get a tax refund check again if they throw just one cup out the car window.

[05:22]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-TR2, Years ago, Canonical was making like 0.1% of the code contributions, something like that, to the Linux kernel.
[05:22]	IsambardPrince	Next to nothing across the board.
[05:23]	IsambardPrince	Then they said "We're getting people to use Linux though!"
[05:23]	IsambardPrince	They had all sorts of ridiculous (and usually tacky) schemes to make money with the desktop and then figured out that it's not easy to do that.
[05:24]	IsambardPrince	Since most Linux users realize that the source code is out there, people will volunteer to package it, and most authors are fine with donations or don't even ask.

[05:34]	IsambardPrince	Basically what that means is that some people out there max out a card and can't actually keep up with it at the end of that 0% interest.
[05:34]	IsambardPrince	So they pay another bank what they owe this bank plus 5%, and they get that balance at 0% for a couple more years.
[05:34]	IsambardPrince	This works until it doesn't.
[05:34]	IsambardPrince	All it does is buy time.
[05:35]	IsambardPrince	The other banks view this debt as an investment. They're perfectly happy to pay off that other bank, for a fee, and make you owe them instead.

[07:32]	IsambardPrince	I forgot that he sang "Little Brown Jug".

[07:33]	IsambardPrince	It's kind of funny because it's a song about alcoholism ruining a marriage.
[07:33]	IsambardPrince	But it's in an upbeat tone because it's from the perspective of the alcoholic.

[21:06]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-TR2, John mentioned how awful San Francisco looked, last year.
[21:07]	IsambardPrince	Most of them are benefiting from living on land stolen from Japanese-Americans about 80 years ago.
[21:07]	IsambardPrince	While they're busy telling others they need to be more socially conscious.
[21:10]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Over 70% of asylum requests are being denied. Seems low to me.
[21:10]	IsambardPrince	Most of these are economic migrants.
[21:10]	IsambardPrince	If someone is threatening you in Honduras, you go to Guatemala. If you're still scared, you could go to Mexico.
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	Mexico will grant asylum, you already know the language and will fit in okay.
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	But it's thousands of miles up to the US where you don't know the culture or the language, but you keep going.
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	Because at this point it's obviously economic migration.
[21:11]	MinceR	i wouldn't worry about that
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	If it was threats against your life in Guatemala but you make it to Mexico, that's a couple entire countries over.
[21:12]	MinceR	the orange cockwomble is working on making nazi america economically less attractive than most of latin america
[21:12]	IsambardPrince	USCIS is now working asylum last in, first out. They have to give you a work permit if it takes over 180 days, so they're yanking people in there who just applied, and they're shocked that this isn't going along with their plan of using false asylum cases as a placeholder.
[21:12]	MinceR	the time-tested commie/nazi method: making your country shitty enough so that no one will want to live in it!
[21:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I'm not built for this heat.
[21:21]	MinceR	too bad, we're cooking this planet and everything on it
[21:21]	IsambardPrince	Winter time when it's -20 out, I'm like "Come on you apes! You wanna live forever!?"
[21:21]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
[21:21]	IsambardPrince	And in the summer I'm like "Oh God, air conditioner! Air conditioner!"
[21:21]	MinceR	because according to the most prevalent memetic mental illnesses, "God" will protect the bare apes from the consequences of their actions
[21:22]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Trump told the DoD to cut off civilians from their weather monitoring satellites.
[21:22]	IsambardPrince	This makes it easier for him to tell the hurricane where to go with sharpie markers, I guess.
[21:22]	MinceR	lol
[21:23]	IsambardPrince	Trump up there with sharpies. "I'm betting it'll swerve first!" 
[21:23]	IsambardPrince	Who needs the National Weather Service?
[21:23]	IsambardPrince	Good luck, Florida.
[21:24]	IsambardPrince	You know, people need that data or they don't know whether they need to evacuate. People will die without that data.
[21:25]	MinceR	well, i guess if nazi america isn't going to hold any more elections, he doesn't really need his voters anymore
[21:25]	IsambardPrince	It affects Florida more. Illinois gets tornado outbreaks sometimes. There's no really good way to forecast tornadoes, but you can tell when "conditions are favorable" with radar stations, heat and humidity data, wind speed. Things you don't need the DoD satellites to get.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	It's best to be in a basement when a tornado passes over. If it rips the building apart, usually the basement survives. Most tornadoes are not strong enough to do more than break out windows, rip some siding and roofing shingles off.
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	It would take at least an EF-3 or EF-4 to be a serious threat to us.
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	They tend to lose cohesion after about a mile or two, but they can do a lot of damage during that time.
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	Hurricanes are much worse.
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	They start breaking apart immediately over land, but the problem is that with the oceans getting so hot, they can feed off of this like never before, which is why Florida is getting hurricanes that are bigger than the state, with low pressure zones that have never been recorded in the eye, and wind speeds that have also never been recorded before.
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	And that's why these idiots can no longer get property insurance.
[21:31]	IsambardPrince	The hurricanes are starting to resemble something like that one from Stargate Atlantis where they needed the city shield, only we have nothing like that. So you know, Florida will eventually be uninhabitable.
[21:31]	IsambardPrince	Then in the following decades, as sea levels rise, more and more of the outer areas will be under water.
[21:32]	IsambardPrince	If the polar ice caps were to melt completely, about 40% of the land area of the United States would be under the ocean.
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	Illinois would still be here but you wouldn't have to go far to get to the ocean. It woulld be where Tennessee once was.
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	So that's a little disturbing.

[21:33]	IsambardPrince	On the upside, less Baptists I guess.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	They finalyl got what they were after with the coal and gasoline.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	The apocalypse.

[23:16]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I was making a macaroni salad.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	It called for an 8 ounce block of cheese, diced.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	I was like "Where the fuck did the cheese go?"
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	"I'm gonna fix this."
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	Poured in an 8 ounce bag of sliced 4 state cheddar on top of that.
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	There we go. I made a macaroni salad. It called for ham, but ham prices have gotten outrageous, so I fried up a couple cubed Great Value off brand "spam" and now it's in the freezer so the macaroni salad will set faster.
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	Without spam in it, I might take it as a side dish somewhere. Tasted pretty good.
[23:33]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, We don't stand on ceremony here.
[23:33]	MinceR	do you sit?
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	We don't sit, stand, hand stand, cartwheel, do push ups, pull ups, or run a sprint or a marathon or even walk on ceremony around here.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	Which is good since my shoulder had a compound fracture 16 years ago and never healed properly.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	I *might* be able to do girl-style push-ups at this point.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	Remember in gym class where the girls got to sit on their knees and do push-ups while the obvious lesbian gym teacher was really mean to the boys?
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	It's like that.
[23:40]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Indiana has defunded almost everything at school anyway now, so I doubt gym class has survived.
[23:40]	IsambardPrince	Yep, the kids might be fatter than ever, but at least RFK Jr. is banning synthetic food dyes, dough conditioners, vaccines, and fluoride.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	Many will die of heart attack by 40. None of them fit for military service. 
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	But no Red 40 in the gummie bears.
[23:43]	MinceR	no, my gym classes were wretched in slightly different ways
[23:43]	MinceR	luckily, i hardly remember them anymore
[23:44]	MinceR	also, funny things to do in the name of deregulation
[23:45]	IsambardPrince	The gym teacher made me spend all of gym class walking laps around the field next to the school because I was a rather heavy set child.
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	And she wanted to humiliate me while all the other kids lapped me several times then ran back in to finish class.
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	"Ms." Simpson
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	I hated her.
[23:47]	IsambardPrince	I liked our computer class oddly enough. Because the computers were so old you couldn't find any like them anymore.
[23:48]	IsambardPrince	They were all leftover Apple IIs and 80s Macs that someone bought then said "Fuck it, we don't really need 90s computers. Not like computers will ever be important."
[23:49]	IsambardPrince	Meanwhile, they're in there makind sure you know how to hand write in cursive.
[23:49]	IsambardPrince	A skill that was probably useful 100 years ago.
[23:49]	IsambardPrince	Republicans say kids need to be able to read our Constitution. Why? The courts are gutting it every chance they get. It's the Republicans gutting it.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	Who cares what it says if it's not true?
[23:52]	MinceR	so that they can find out that the hucksters calling themselves "republican" even after abolishing the republic were using it as toilet paper?
