The government benefits when people get hooked on expensive habits. [02:21] DaemonFC They have to go earn more money. Earnings means more taxes. [02:22] DaemonFC Then they can fritter the taxes on illegal alien trash they're putting up in hotels, with the money you spend on some idiotic pod coffee. [02:22] DaemonFC Because then you have to go back and work harder and that means more money, which means more taxes. [02:22] DaemonFC And so on. [02:22] DaemonFC The more money you waste on dumb unproductive shit, the better for them. [02:23] DaemonFC So rents skyrocketing isn't seen as a problem either. [02:23] DaemonFC Because it forces people to work more even if they don't have $8,000 Disney trips and throw a new flat screen in the cart that's an inch bigger every year.

[07:54] DaemonFC https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2023/09/brita-dorm-room-staple-faces-class-action-lawsuit [07:54] TR Bot Brita, dorm room staple, faces class-action lawsuit - The Brown Daily Herald [07:55] DaemonFC I specifically asked Clorox Brita once about Hexavalent Chromium. [07:55] DaemonFC They emailed me back saying that none of their filters are rated to remove it. [07:55] DaemonFC It's not on any Performance Data Sheet. [07:55] DaemonFC So where does the lawsuit complaint that it doesn't remove that make sense? [07:55] DaemonFC It never said it did. [07:56] DaemonFC Filters filter certain amounts of certain things. [07:56] DaemonFC By the standards of this lawsuit, I should file a lawsuit against GM and accuse them of misrepresenting the engine air filter on my car because it didn't remove all the contaminants. [07:57] DaemonFC It isn't supposed to. Everyone knows the only way to block all contaminants is to block all air, and then the engine won't run. [07:57] DaemonFC It's supposed to block 98%+ of contaminants above 5 micron. [07:57] DaemonFC You can't really design a filter that does much better than that. [07:58] DaemonFC K&N has an expensive reusable one that lets more air through. At a cost of also allowing 48 times as many of those particles into the engine. [07:59] DaemonFC But a guy on YouTube demonstrated that it cut 1/10th of 1 second off his 0-60 time on his truck. [07:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0 [07:59] DaemonFC So there's that. :) [07:59] DaemonFC So if you want to tear up the engine and pay a fortune to K&N, you can put one of those in and get your car to accelerate 0.4% faster. ● Dec 29 [08:00] DaemonFC At some point, it's about tradeoffs. [08:00] DaemonFC Countertop pitcher water filters can't do better than a certain amount because they're not on mains pressure. At a certain level of restriction, it will take you 8 hours to filter through a quart of water. [08:01] DaemonFC If you want no contaminants to get through, it means you also get no water at all on the other side. [08:01] DaemonFC And someone who went to law school filed this.

[08:20] DaemonFC Well, I see everything is going well in this BIG BIG GDP Asian country. [08:20] DaemonFC Not like their Little GDP cousins up north. [08:22] DaemonFC You know, I'm not going to lie. When I sit down and look at a lot of Asian languages, or Arabic (especially realizing you're supposed to read from down to up and right to left) I go, "You know, someone had to do deliberately do this." [08:23] DaemonFC I mean English, they say, is difficult. How is English difficult? [08:23] DaemonFC There's a little over two dozen letters. It's up to down, left to right. [08:24] DaemonFC If I ever do bother to sit down and learn another language, it's at least going to be one that uses THIS alphabet. [08:25] DaemonFC They say a lot of Chinese are learning English. Yeah, well, it's like, they have an advantage. [08:25] DaemonFC Learning Chinese is like winning the boss battle and then advancing to an easier level in that order. [08:27] DaemonFC I understand that the reason suicides are high is they don't traditionally have the same, religious, value on life that Christians do. [08:27] DaemonFC That's certainly one possible factor. [08:27] DaemonFC But that's not everything. [08:27] DaemonFC The United States hasn't particularly valued human life lately. [08:27] DaemonFC It's committed rampant infanticide like the Red Chinese in abortion factories ever since the 70s. [08:28] DaemonFC I don't think there's any inherent extra value assigned to human life by a country that would murder 50 million of its own as infants. [08:28] DaemonFC But the US does get all worked up about suicide, at least in theory. [08:28] DaemonFC So let's back the truck up here. [08:30] DaemonFC Say theoretically I wanted to kill myself. I can't have a thought out process regarding this, and make a decision affecting me, and carry it out in a way that's not going to cause a big mess somehow for others to clean up when I'm done. But if my mother wanted to crush out my human life as a "fetus", it's fine as long as we say "fetus". But then we'll go ahead and say it's those "Godless Asians" and especially the Commies, that don't value human life. [08:31] DaemonFC It's all because of suicide. Which the US isn't any more concerned with trying to prevent than Japan. [08:31] DaemonFC Japan has sneeze guards at the train stops. [08:31] DaemonFC The US has 988. [08:31] DaemonFC Hah, take that Japan! [08:31] DaemonFC Let's see you build a better one of those. [08:32] DaemonFC You don't fix your societies. You pay the problem lip service. Do things that don't have any measurable results but are cheap. Like sneeze guards and 988. [08:32] DaemonFC Meanwhile, infanticide, perfectly legal. Because the value of human life. [08:33] DaemonFC You fix the problems in America, you start out by bringing back a justice system that is feared and one that acts as a garbage disposal that gets rid of the John Wayne Gacys and Ted Bundies and Jeffrey Dahmers. [08:33] DaemonFC Then you kick out these fucking Venezuelan freeloaders. [08:34] DaemonFC Then you bring the jobs back. [08:34] DaemonFC Nobody wants to. [08:34] DaemonFC Here's 988. [08:35] DaemonFC What's going on with this flood of "migrants" is that....the world is a sewer that's backing up. [08:35] DaemonFC And now there's three feet of it all over your nice living room carpet. [08:37] DaemonFC No I don't wish that there were 50 million more pregnancies carried to term. I wish that there were criminal punishments meted out for getting pregnant without a license. [08:37] *qrpnxz has quit (connection closed) [08:38] DaemonFC 50 million abortions since 1973 is sort of a lot, you know. [08:38] DaemonFC I think there's only 34 million people in all of Canada. [08:38] DaemonFC So the leftists killed like 16 million more Americans than there are people living in Canada since 1973. [08:39] DaemonFC And now they're replacing us with trash from Venezuela. [08:39] DaemonFC I have never been this furious about illegal immigration. Because it's never been this bad. [08:40] DaemonFC It's never been at unmanageable crisis levels like it is now. [08:40] DaemonFC I mean, it used to be ehh like 4-5 million Mexicans in our entire country. Meh. [08:40] DaemonFC But in the last year, just the last year, 2 million Venezuelans came pouring over the border demanding free food and free luxury hotel rooms and our jobs. [08:40] DaemonFC And our government is giving it to them and making us watch. [08:41] DaemonFC After killing 50 million of our own infants. [08:42] DaemonFC Countries are not meant to absorb things like this. We've heard for years that they are making our lives worse every year with less social programs because there's no money. [08:42] DaemonFC Now they feed 2 million illegal Venezuelans and put them each in $400 a night hotel rooms with tax money while we have to endure this. [08:43] DaemonFC Pritzker redirected money that was budgeted to help Illinoisans stay in their home/apartment to putting illegals in hotel rooms. [08:43] DaemonFC Hotel rooms at hotels he owns, mind you. [08:44] DaemonFC It's no wonder the Democrats are in full blown panic and trying to strip Trump off the ballot.

[22:20] DaemonFC Right from the start. So even if someone does review it on YouTube, there's no way to tell that's what it would do if you buy one. [22:22] DaemonFC It's horrible that within my lifetime we've gone from mass production being a way to increase household wealth because you get the cost per unit down to some crazy affordable level while the quality goes way up, to a way to slowly steal household wealth because no two are even the same out of the factory and within a year or two it's broken and you have to spend more to replace it. [22:23] DaemonFC You know. Hey, maybe the Mr. Coffee was $70 at Walmart in 1993. And maybe it is $70 now. And you look at this like the Fed does and you say people are better off because in inflation-adjusted terms, the coffee maker is cheaper. The price hasn't gone up. [22:24] DaemonFC Then they just sprinkle fairy dust all over it and say the quality of consumer goods has gone up it hasn't). [22:24] DaemonFC How are they measuring the alleged quality?

[22:25] DaemonFC You're in this thing for $490. [22:25] DaemonFC By that measure you're so much worse off than trying to buy one coffee maker that was $70 in 1993 even if people did make half as much money. [22:27] DaemonFC Even if you say that okay, people make twice as much money now (if they're even employed at all....because there's at least 500% more unemployment now), they're still worse off. Because you halve that figure, you're still in for $250 in 1993 terms. [22:28] DaemonFC It's hardly surprising that pour overs are getting more popular.

[22:40] DaemonFC When the judge tells a US Citizen to appear for trial the entire country is a jail. Because where else would you go and how else would you get by?

[22:43] DaemonFC The judge and the prosecutor might as well be the defense attorney in most of these "first appearance court" sessions we have now. [22:44] DaemonFC What did he do? Well, he raped someone to death, ate their flesh, and sewed their skin into his clothes. And they were very lucky so he did that in this order, your honor, but "It was a one time thing!"
