[02:50]	DaemonFC	I should have started using these years ago. Except the stores don't like carrying safety razors and the blades because they're not a license to print money.
[02:51]	DaemonFC	As bad as the Mach 3's pricing is, the five blade systems are even worse.
[02:51]	DaemonFC	Walmart has a five blade system of their own, but the blades start out very dull and they give you severe razor burn.
[02:52]	DaemonFC	I've noticed that the razor blades that say Made in Brazil are utter crap.
[02:52]	DaemonFC	The ones that say USA, Germany, or Japan are pretty good.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	The safety razor systems I got from Amazon say Made in China, but they do alright. I didn't get any of that nasty tugging and pulling like the off brand cartridges and lower end Gillette blades from Brazil.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	I need to get some different shave cream. The gel seems to clog up the safety razor faster so you have to constantly stop and clean it.

[04:51]	DaemonFC	Is 4K Blu Ray still a thing?
[04:51]	DaemonFC	They just sent me an ad about a movie on 4K.
[04:51]	DaemonFC	I don't really see a point in resolutions beyond 1080p on a typical television set.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	It's diminishing returns.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	Back in the 80s and 90s, most of us had standard CRT televisions, and video tapes.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	The TV was 480i, except for a few that could do 576p but nothing native for those sets so why bother.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	The tapes weren't even 480i, they were lower than that.
[04:54]	DaemonFC	Then DVD came out and all of a sudden you saw all of this detail that you couldn't see before. With tape, everything in the background was just fuzzed together kind of. So low res you could make it out but no detail at all.
[04:54]	DaemonFC	And Blu Ray did that again, but not to the same effect..
[04:54]	DaemonFC	I was watching the 4K Blu Ray demo at Best Buy and it didn't look that impressive.
[04:55]	DaemonFC	Some salesman was trying to convince a customer to buy into this and I said "It'll be gone before it ever takes off." and the salesman wasn't happy and said I had no idea what I was talking about.
[04:55]	DaemonFC	Then a few weeks ago (about 6 years after that), Best Buy said they just won't sell any discs at all,
[04:55]	eidolon	lol
[04:56]	DaemonFC	Not even DVD or Blu Ray.
[04:56]	DaemonFC	So the successor to Blu Ray didn't even last a third as long on the market as Blu Ray.
[04:57]	DaemonFC	You can still get them but it's so niche and expensive there's not much point.
[04:58]	DaemonFC	I'm still perfectly happy with Blu Ray. It still looks fantastic.
[04:58]	DaemonFC	There's no reason to throw a ton of money at a TV because they almost all support 1080p now and there's just these minor details like color saturation and contrast ratio, same as always.
[04:59]	DaemonFC	But they all look great. I mean, I suppose I'm just speaking now like some guy that's been around long enough, you know?
● Apr 30
[05:00]	DaemonFC	There was a video I was watching on YouTube where they took a bunch of rice cookers. And cheap rice, medium priced rice, expensive rice. And they sat all these Japanese people around the table.
[05:00]	DaemonFC	They wanted to see which machine cooked rice the best and what each "price level" of machine did to each tier of rice you could find at the store.
[05:00]	eidolon	Best Buy announced they were phasing out physical media sales back in October
[05:00]	eidolon	but this month Target is in the news for it
[05:01]	DaemonFC	Some of the older folks, in the blind test, actually preferred the cheaper rice in the expensive machine.
[05:01]	DaemonFC	Because it had a better cooking program.
[05:01]	DaemonFC	But the older people scored each variation more closely than the younger ones did.
[05:01]	eidolon	https://variety.com/vip/target-ending-dvd-sales-1235984058/
[05:01]	TR Bot	 Target Dialing Back Physical Media is Another Nail in DVD's Coffin
[05:02]	DaemonFC	And one of the older men said that he was around after the war, and you couldn't get good rice anywhere, so it's all great now compared to what they had back then.
[05:02]	DaemonFC	So it just becomes what you're used to.
[05:02]	DaemonFC	I mean, when you look at tape to DVD to Blu Ray disc, you realize hey, we've come a long way and most of the gains to be made have been made.
[05:03]	DaemonFC	And so when you go in to look at these 4K discs, there's not a lot of quality improvement. There's some, but all of a sudden they're demanding $3,000 for a TV, and $800 for a player, and you even need new cords, and then you're going to have to buy the movies you want in that format again.
[05:04]	DaemonFC	And so if DVD was 6-7 times better than tapes, holy shit, buy everything all over again.
[05:04]	DaemonFC	Then if Blu Ray was 3x better than that, okay, buy the stuff you really want to see in that format and all your new movies in that, but keep some DVDs because they're backward compatible.
[05:05]	DaemonFC	But then they come out with 4K, and it's like, spend $10,000 and we'll give you a 10% improvement over Blu Ray.
[05:05]	DaemonFC	And it's like "Excuse me? Are you joking? This is a thing?"
[05:06]	DaemonFC	One of the reasons HEVC doesn't really matter too much is because Blu Ray discs using AVC already have so much space on them that nothing that's encoded to the disc is experiencing bit starvation.
[05:07]	DaemonFC	I think they have like, what, 50 GB per disc for most of the movies?
[05:07]	DaemonFC	That's a lot of room to just jack up the bitrate of everything and there's probably still unused space, even with the menus and extras.
[05:09]	DaemonFC	eidolon: We'll probably have to start importing things from Japan at this rate.
[05:09]	DaemonFC	:)
[05:09]	DaemonFC	Target is a shitty failing company.
[05:09]	DaemonFC	But then again, most are.
[05:10]	DaemonFC	40% of the companies listed on the US stock exchanges are zombie companies.
[05:13]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Anyway, a guy in Walgreens was waiting for someone to open the bulletproof glass so he could get some razor cartridges.
[05:13]	DaemonFC	You know how shit is getting.
[05:14]	DaemonFC	Gillette and Walgreens marked the big box of cartridges up to $69.99, and that was several months ago.
[05:14]	DaemonFC	I saw that and I said "FUCK ME!"
[05:14]	DaemonFC	It's getting so bad that they're selling them 2 at a time so that people can buy a couple this week.
[05:17]	DaemonFC	Amazon has 12 Fusion 5 heads for $42.
[05:17]	DaemonFC	Walgreens wanting $69.99? Well, they're a pharmacy with a convenience store, but still.
[05:17]	DaemonFC	Either way is ridiculous.
[05:18]	DaemonFC	Okay, so you get those Fusion 5 heads at $3.50, best case, if you're willing to buy a dozen at a time.
[05:19]	DaemonFC	That's $84 a year to shave. They make them so that after about 15-17 days, you just can't stand it anymore and reach for a new one.
[05:20]	DaemonFC	This is why they call it a "recession beard". No reason to shave, shaving costs a fortune.

[05:23]	DaemonFC	It was unusual for American men to shave until the first world war.
[05:24]	DaemonFC	Shaving was associated with immorality.
[05:24]	DaemonFC	Like drinking and paying hookers.
[05:24]	DaemonFC	The war changed things around because there was so much poisonous gas being used in the war that soldiers needed gas masks.
[05:24]	DaemonFC	Gas masks don't fit if you aren't clean shaven.
[05:25]	DaemonFC	So shaving every day became something everyone in the military got used to, then regulation.
[05:25]	DaemonFC	Then they went home and their wives liked it.
[05:25]	DaemonFC	So by the 1920s it was a thing.

[05:29]	DaemonFC	They don't sell them because it's their goal that everyone that goes down that aisle leaves with a dozen Gillette heads for $70.
[05:30]	DaemonFC	If everyone could spend $15 and get enough blades to last 6-7 years, they'd be ruined.
[05:37]	eidolon	It's a marketing con that has been going on a long time. They do have some double-edged blades, from some brands I hadn't seen.
[05:37]	eidolon	They work, but you know, nobody really buys them.
[05:37]	eidolon	Probably they wouldn't know what to do with them.
[05:38]	eidolon	Cut up lines of Nystatin powder?
[05:39]	eidolon	They don't have brands that are  sought after among the wet shavers like Feather.
[05:55]	eidolon	It's just as well, cause if you want them, you can buy them in bulk online.

[16:50]	schestowitz	Manager meeting was today all impacted employees will be notified tomorrow (Tuesday). Employees further than 50 miles from a "strategic" site will have to relocate or separate.
[16:50]	schestowitz	Ironically they are calling this one "Software Co-Location" rather than RTO. New name - same result.
[16:50]	schestowitz	Impacted employees will have until May 30th to decide. If they relocate they have until Nov 2024. If they separate they can work 60 days and get 60 days of severance.
[16:50]	schestowitz	This appears to only be Software at this point. Possibly only those under Kareem and Dinesh as they were the ones on the call.
[16:50]	schestowitz	Bottom line it's just more absolute incompetence form IBM Exec "Leadership".

[16:51]	schestowitz	""
[16:51]	schestowitz	With an 80-85% attrition rate for those impacted, IBM knows exactly what they are trying to accomplish. Lower 1st world head count, mostly as it applies to legacy SW. NOTE the recent IBM purchases (redhat 30 billion, Apptio 5 billion, and HashiCorp 6.5 billion) have been accommodated as San Jose and RTP are two of the golden ticket locations. I suspect Lowell is mostly for IBM legacy SW and Austin is for speciality partnerships (SAP, O
[16:51]	schestowitz	racle, and Power ISVs) Everything else is disposable
[16:51]	schestowitz	"
[16:51]	schestowitz	" I left IBM on April 1 under the US Exec and Manager version of RTO... four months short of 40 years with the company. I was fully remote since 2006... and a manager the entire time. I was even promoted to 2nd line Mgr while fully remote and I was given retention awards in each of the last two years (stock given 25% per year over four years.... an incentive to stay with IBM!). Remote work sure seemed to be working out ok.
[16:51]	schestowitz	On March 1 I was told that I had 30 days to decide... relocate or resign. "Face to face is where the magic happens", I heard one exec say. I was given four cities from which to choose.. none of which housed any of my reports. I had no "faces" to face. Silly.
[16:51]	schestowitz	Rest assured that the stated purpose of this program ("face to face work is better") is not the actual purpose ("we want you to leave"). This is an RA, but with an offramp.
[16:51]	schestowitz	"

[16:52]	schestowitz	I was laid off in the last round of RA's this past April 2024. It was not only communications and marketing. From my understanding 40% of the CIO was sacked. When looking around and observing who was laid off it was clearly done by age and years of service. The rest were forced to take early retirement, with a 1 year bridge offering to help others reach retirement. This keeps the real numbers out of the news. Now for the contract that 
[16:52]	schestowitz	you need to sign to get your severance. It's set up as coercion. You cannot get your severance unless you agree not to collectively sue. You have to arbitrate. The agreement is not ethical and I am questioning the validity given the National Labor Law in the US does not allow coercion. I thought I worked for a company that was upstanding. Now I am questioning it.

[23:31]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: It's like Biden.
[23:31]	DaemonFC	He says he had some really great GDP and jobs numbers.
[23:32]	DaemonFC	Which were some of the jobs and GDP (not all) that we lost when the Democrats trashed the economy in 2020.
[23:32]	DaemonFC	It's all about how you look at it. They can blame Trump, but the fact is that a bunch of Democrat governors shut everything down and then didn't even obey their own lockdowns. Opening up nail salons and fancy restaurants just for them.
[23:33]	DaemonFC	Like Bogus and his COVID parties.
[23:33]	DaemonFC	It was just an exercise in raw power, and like all the other laws, like the ones on not fucking children, the people in power don't obey their own laws.
[23:33]	DaemonFC	Because why should they? Who will do anything to stop them?
[23:34]	DaemonFC	The only states that tried to stay open and not have the surge in suicides and drug use and antisocial behavior that came with the "lockdowns", were red states.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	Where they have little "economic activity". They grow food and stuff, like, you know, who needs food when you can have Zombie Corporations out in California making chatbots?
[23:35]	DaemonFC	And "banks".
[23:35]	DaemonFC	Which are ponzi scams ran by idiots.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	So when the shit hits the fan because reality sets in, you find us where we are now.
[23:36]	DaemonFC	A weed whacker gets taken to all the bullshit jobs.
[23:36]	DaemonFC	They're "going away" and the people with the bullshit jobs start complaining that the job application to callback ratio is like 100:1 against and "I've never seen it this bad."
[23:37]	DaemonFC	Because it turns out that the "expendable" people are the ones in California training chat bots and doing "risk analysis" for the banks that they don't act on because they want to make bad loans and then have a fall guy.
[23:38]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Our landlord is basically a patsy for a megabank.
[23:38]	DaemonFC	He "analyzes risk" for investments in an entire continent.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	Yet he didn't know to steer clear of a 50 year old building that nobody ever maintained because the goal was to sit on it a while and find a bigger fool.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	And the rent was just so they could bide their time and pay the bills until then.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	Every decade, the thinking goes, you find a bigger fool.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	And he pays you triple what you did, and you unload the building and all of the technical debt.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	Every 10-20 years this happens, until the biggest fool of them all comes and buys it at the end of its life expectancy, pays the most, gets it with all the problems, and can't find anyone else.
[23:41]	DaemonFC	If used cars worked like this, here's what would happen.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	You go to the dealership and spend $40,000 on a new car. You drive it around for 5 years, rack up 60,000 miles, and sell it to someone else for $100,000, with a couple warning lights on and overdue for fluids and filters and a couple odds and ends.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	But instead of fixing it, they just go right on driving it around. In 5 years, they sell it again, this time for $200,000 with 130,000 miles on it.
[23:43]	DaemonFC	At this point it needs a new power steering rack, some strut towers, a brake job, and the coolant is looking terrible, and it could stand to have a transmission flush.
[23:43]	DaemonFC	But instead of fixing it, they drive it another 5 years.
[23:44]	DaemonFC	At 15 years, the car is barely working at all and has almost 200,000 miles on it. Almost everything is shot and the engine sounds really loud, occasionally it backfires. There's rust all over the body. There's several dashboard lights on.
[23:44]	DaemonFC	And then my landlord comes in and pays $400,000 for it.
[23:44]	DaemonFC	That's what goes on with real estate and that's what's happened with this building.
[23:45]	DaemonFC	What should be a rapidly depreciating asset becomes so grotesquely overvalued by irrationality and repeated sayings of "Nobody ever lost money on real estate." that this is a thing with real estate.

[23:47]	DaemonFC	The truth is, when you buy a home, you go broke.
[23:47]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Mandy asked why the neighbors haven't replaced the shed and fence that tree fell on a few months ago.
[23:47]	DaemonFC	I said, "They own a home so they're broke."
[23:47]	DaemonFC	He says "No, they own a home, so that means they have money!"
[23:48]	DaemonFC	I said, "No, they failed to anticipate the total cost of ownership, not the least of which is paying the government more to not seize the house than we even pay in rent."
[23:49]	DaemonFC	And that never stops even if you pay off the mortgage somehow.
[23:50]	DaemonFC	Paying the government not to hurt you and steal what you have worked half your life to earn is like a second mortgage that goes away, in exchange for nothing except them not stealing the house.
[23:50]	DaemonFC	It's a bad fucking deal.
[23:50]	DaemonFC	*that never goes away
[23:51]	DaemonFC	Taxes are like throwing money into a pit, spewing lighter fluid all over it, and tossing in a match, in exchange for not getting arrested and thrown in prison for not paying.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	Then instead of helping someone who has cancer, or patching a pothole, they spend $150,000 to give some prisoner who fucked a kid and then cut her head off in Indiana a trans woman crotch job.
[23:52]	DaemonFC	The ACLU representing this travesty the entire way.
