[01:29] MinceR lol [01:29] IsambardPrince There's no way anyone would pay $265 for a screen and $140 for a battery on a Pixel 8. [01:29] nobody now they're smashing their heads over remaining nuclear facilities and gas transit in ukraine [01:29] IsambardPrince Because you can buy a Pixel 10 for $699 (for the 256 GB version) and there's a promo where you trade in a Pixel 8 for $235 credit.

when some universities got wrecked, nuclear shutdown, energy prices exploding [01:46] nobody on public tv they've explained themselves, by saying most of the "investments" are in foreign countries anyway [01:46] nobody hence it doesn't matter to them and their shareholder value when economy takes a nosedive here [01:47] nobody that's official [01:47] nobody perpetuated regularly [01:47] nobody

traffic jams still [01:52] nobody in Nurnberg political opposition succeeded with a referendum over a high-way reconstruction [01:53] nobody the city is planning, no joke, to extend a 4-strip high-way into an 8strip high-way in the middle of the city, by moving for lanes underground [01:53] nobody into a tunnel, for 1.1billion cash until year 2040 [01:53] nobody their entire city is nothing but

either [01:57] nobody to safeguard the population from noise and emission, they want to build a concreate wall 8 meters height, into the middle of the city, because that's where this 8lane highway shall be extended [01:59] nobody the "yes" vote would be consent to halt all planning of this, the "no" vote is the opposite which permits the city to proceed ● May 30 [02:00] nobody i mean, just for fun i would say, hey, why not, a concrete wall 8 meters height several dozen kilometers distance in the middle of the city to shield for emission and noise [02:00] nobody from [02:01] nobody since they're planning for this tunnel to move some car traffic underground (an 8lane highway in the middle of the city) [02:01] nobody atop of this there shall be "ecological replacement space" (there's a german word for this) [02:02] nobody they'll cut down the few remaining trees (guess what there is some remaining), and dump 1.5 meters of sand atop the tunnel [02:02] nobody for children to play there [02:03] nobody another irony, this 8lane highway (city south-west), it's not the only one, there's is several other high-way hubs in the north and east too already [02:03] nobody it's not enough to route all the traffic they say, they must have the 8lane one extension [02:03] nobody with a concrete wall 8meters height [02:04] nobody Nurnberg is a Mega-City metropolitan region, 5million or so inhabitants [02:04] nobody don't ask me why all those cars are roaming here, because there is rarely no small business, shops or caffees remaining here [02:05] nobody other than turkish kebap, barber shops and gambling slot casinos [02:05] nobody after all, it's Hitler's Reichsparteitags City [02:06] nobody if anyone ever wondered why there was insufficient finance and deficits all over [02:06] nobody Nurnberg isn't the only city like this [02:07] nobody it's post-apocalyptic already [02:07] nobody you may not notice when visitting this city a few days during christmas [02:07] nobody but i lived here for more than 10 years [02:07] nobody relocated here because there was a few job opportunities at least [02:08] nobody one of the last denials i received was from a high school where i applied as staff [02:08] nobody they've had no need for people like me in this city, i got this written [02:08] nobody from the city itself [02:09] nobody which is fascinating in so many weird ways, i don't need alcohol to feel dizzy about it [02:09] nobody so, now, to accomodate all those (mostly) immigrants and their cars, the city planners insist upon this 8lan highway extension [02:10] nobody with, let me tell you again, a gigantic concrete wall 8meters in height in the middle of the city [02:10] nobody this shall "re-unite" separate city districts which were segrated due to high way traffic [02:10] nobody no need to inhale pot for a laughter, just cycle a minute or two during rush hour [02:11] nobody you'll get high on benzene fumes and carbon-monoxide [02:12] nobody what i've seen in recent 10years in this city here will haunt me with nighmares for the rest of my life [02:12] nobody and i've lived through armageddon as a child already, that was the end-of-days of GDR in

planning of the 1960s [02:13] nobody western city planning [02:14] nobody east-german cities (except Berlin mud-hole), were easier to "transform" in 1990s [02:14] nobody at first glance west-german cities seem better off, but they're in much worse trouble than GDR had been [02:15] nobody because this insanity cannot be transformed, and neither population nor politics are willing to [02:15] nobody what people haven't realized, the "opposition" of the "greens", that's a false flag [02:16] nobody that's merely a few privileged who seek their green comfort niche for themselves [02:16] nobody all else are deluded by wish-thinking, there would ever be a green transformation [02:17] nobody because that would mean, for example, LESS immigration, NOT MORE of it as the typical green/left insists [02:17] nobody GDR population was shrinking since 1990s, not increasing, shrinking, cities deconstructed former soviet housing, and didn't build more of it as typical leftists insist nowadays [02:18] nobody entire politics, nowadays that's 1984 10fold double-think [02:19] nobody in parallel there's a political scandal attached, at national level, a bavarian politician being dragged to court for this now [02:19] nobody since more than 10years ago they proposed to introduce a highway toll for foreigner's cars [02:20] nobody EU ruled that was "illegal", another epic irony [02:20] nobody and this busted a budget of who knows a quarter billion of compensation of damages alone, for a toll collect system which was never installed [02:21] nobody and the inner city highway hubs,

couldn't sell out a few more to turkish and whichever immigrants who buy it [02:22] nobody because that's boosting economy they say [02:23] nobody then politics attached a bill to the vote, if city council was permitted to proceed with the 8meter height conrete walled 8lane high-way in the middle of the city [02:23] nobody that's connected to national/EU subsidies and funding, they'll get money for doing it [02:24] nobody when instead the proposal didn't pass this caused excess spendings anyway [02:24] nobody so i spend a little time today, as a loyal citizen, to see if there's anthing in it for me [02:25] nobody given the fact, the city is dumping excess energy bills onto my account with fraud for energy which i've never consumed, 100fold [02:25] nobody as a rough estimate, it costs me ~$2000/barrel [02:25] nobody that's a deficit on my account, already as is, and this shall blow up further, according to their plans [02:26] nobody because, the entire migration and economic policy, supposedly, financed my pension savings (don't ask me which, i haven't none) [02:27] nobody btw. since it's been moldova/romania hit by a drone strike, few years ago a family of theirs moved in here

entire city, not only some districts, the entire city [02:30] nobody and i allow for raising a question mark over the productivity of kebap restaurants, barber shops, shisha bars and gambling slot casinos [02:30] nobody of cause construction workers need employment, they'll build the highway extension i guess, for themselves and their children to play behind conrete walls 8meters in height [02:30] nobody it's insane [02:36] *nobody has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:42] *nobody (~nobody@6nvxnbfs9k26u.irc) has joined #techrights [02:42] nobody usb i/o err.. [02:42] nobody anyway, now i shall vote yes or no [02:43] nobody neither is relevant [02:43] nobody because "green" opposition suggests "money could better be invested into the city" [02:43] nobody which is mis-guided, no subsidies would be granted without a permission to build this highway concrete wall [02:44] nobody and the status-quo would persist in any case, in fact if the planning was halted it could be even worse [02:44] nobody because, green/left insists on MORE appartment housing in parallel too [02:45] nobody for the record last time i didn't vote AfD, i designated all community votes to CSU bavarian conservatives [02:46] nobody after all, it's their city to decide upon [02:46] TR News Yesterday's #boycottnovell-social and #techpol IRC logs ready.

[06:05] nobody what's TransUnion? [06:05] IsambardPrince I've been selectively disputing the newer ones where I was on one of Mandy's cards for 1-2 years, and leaving the older ones. It fucks with my average age of accounts and my credit score will go up. [06:05] IsambardPrince Because the remaining accounts trend older. [06:06] IsambardPrince [00:05] what's TransUnion? [06:06] IsambardPrince A credit reporting agency. [06:06] IsambardPrince One many landlords look at. [06:06] nobody ah, so. there's a similar system in germany, which does rating [06:06] IsambardPrince So by selectively removing newer AU accounts, I'm raising the average age of my credit report, and possibly boosting my FICO score a bit. [06:07] IsambardPrince It also gives me a cleaner file if Chase looks at the report for 5/24. [06:07] IsambardPrince Chase won't give you a new credit card with a sign up bonus if you have opened 5 or more credit cards in the last two years. [06:08] IsambardPrince They count AU cards in that 5/24 decision. [06:08] IsambardPrince So removing AU cards that are less than 25 months old lowers your Chase 5/24. [06:08] nobody i've never had a credit card, only one banking card account in 20 years [06:09] IsambardPrince Yeah, I'm getting a Negative Reason Code in some of my decisions. [06:09] IsambardPrince They say "Too many credit card accounts." [06:09] nobody i don't bother with any of their scoring [06:09] IsambardPrince Removing AU cards from the list lowers the number. [06:09] IsambardPrince Or "Too many recent credit card accounts." [06:09] IsambardPrince I just removed 6 recent AU accounts. [06:10] nobody i am downrated simply because of the fact i've not signed up for a bank credit ever, so i've never repaid any credit [06:10] nobody i've only spent in surplus what i had always [06:10] IsambardPrince I manipulated my inquiries too. [06:10] IsambardPrince I wrote to the bureau and said "I don't recognize these inquiries and cannot remember applying for that." [06:11] IsambardPrince So they removed two hard inquiries for credit cards I didn't get. [06:11] nobody is it necessary to have that many credit cards in USA? [06:11] IsambardPrince And I early excluded four delinquent credit cards on this bureau that went into my bankruptcy. [06:11] IsambardPrince Because TU will do that six months early. [06:11] IsambardPrince [00:11] is it necessary to have that many credit cards in USA? [06:11] IsambardPrince People are shocked at how many credit card programs we have in the US. [06:11] IsambardPrince There's literally a special card for everything. [06:12] IsambardPrince There's one for shopping on Amazon, one for Sams Club, one for Costco, one for Walmart. [06:12] nobody didn't mean any offense by asking though [06:12] IsambardPrince Some that are for people with pets. [06:12] IsambardPrince Some have a "general cashback rate" that's attractive. [06:12] IsambardPrince Or restaurants and entertainment cashback. [06:12] IsambardPrince Or supermarkets. [06:12] IsambardPrince So you can easily end up with a dozen credit cards trying to optimize rewards everywhere. [06:13] nobody cashback rate? that's a small discount i guess [06:13] IsambardPrince Right now my big ones are 6% back at supermarkets, 3% at restaurants and entertainment, 5% back at gas stations, 2% back "anywhere", 5% on Amazon. [06:13] nobody well, ok, but normally a credit card demands interests and fees paid [06:13] IsambardPrince Well obviously you buy a lot of food and stuff right? [06:13] IsambardPrince Gas. Very expensive right now. [06:14] IsambardPrince [00:13] well, ok, but normally a credit card demands interests and fees paid [06:14] IsambardPrince They have an interest-free grace period. [06:14] IsambardPrince The statement ends and they have to give you at least 21 days by law after the statement date, but many banks give you about 25 days. [06:14] nobody 6% on foods, that's who knows a hundred euros a year give or take a bit [06:14] nobody that's not nothing [06:16] IsambardPrince Yeah. 5% on gas usually works out to about $4-5 per tank these days. [06:16] IsambardPrince Can go through that per week. [06:16] IsambardPrince I also have 3% on transit, including gas, on AmEx. [06:17] IsambardPrince So that covers Uber, Lyft, public transit including reloading passes and stuff. [06:18] nobody i've only had one small credit at government for a student loan, which was easily paid back, 15 years ago [06:18] nobody and it's not been a banking credit [06:18] nobody no clue if this would raise my score [06:18] nobody they're too scoring by the residence, which was questioned to be illegal while ago [06:18] IsambardPrince Selectively disputing these newer AU tradelines makes me look less risky to creditors. [06:19] IsambardPrince Without actually changing the risk. [06:19] IsambardPrince It makes it look like I'm less extended and like my open accounts are now older on average. [06:20] IsambardPrince Nothing about my risk profile actually changes, but it looks less risky to the bank algorithms. [06:20] nobody there's not much algorithmic to it i guess [06:21] nobody banks see anyone's living in a shitty place, this alone downrates the score [06:21] nobody regardless of any risk or morale [06:23] nobody when living in bamberg city, with actually higher risk, lower income, new employment contract, the bank increased my permitted deficit up to 3000Euros [06:23] nobody i've had a monthly income of ~1000 after rent was paid [06:23] IsambardPrince I have good enough credit now to stand on its own without some of Mandy's accounts showing. [06:23] IsambardPrince So it's time to start pruning some of those. [06:23] nobody so they've overrated my score, it's been better than it should have been at that time [06:24] IsambardPrince [00:21] banks see anyone's living in a shitty place, this alone downrates the score [06:24] IsambardPrince Not true. [06:24] nobody when relocating to Nurnberg, the bank lowered my permitted deficit to 700 Euros [06:24] IsambardPrince The FICO and Vantage scores can't consider where you live. [06:24] nobody although my income here was higher [06:24] IsambardPrince Living in the ghetto or a gated community will not by itself budge your credit score one point. [06:25] nobody well, there's been no other irregularity than relocating from bamberg (nice place) to nrnberg (shithole city #1) [06:26] nobody all else almost equal, income, spendings etc. [06:26] nobody and the bank never increased it back up again, even when my income increased significantly [06:26] IsambardPrince Yep, they just removed two more AmEx cards. [06:26] nobody again, only difference, living in Nrnberg city shithole [06:27] IsambardPrince The first batch deleted four other cards. [06:27] IsambardPrince So we're up to 6. [06:35] nobody i wouldd really like to know what this alternative plab b was which green party proposed in city council [06:35] nobody their plan, other than colorful illustrations and paintings of trees and parks [06:36] nobody i mean, i know this place, there won't be any parks at the highway crossroads [06:36] nobody a few half-rotten bushes maybe [06:37] nobody but this mega highway in the city won't disappear [06:37] nobody another argument, they say, slowing down traffic supposedly reduced noise and emissions [06:38] nobody there's reasons to question the effects of this, when all traffic got jammed as a consequence [06:38] nobody the amount of cars doesn't change neither simply because if these slowed down a few mph [06:40] nobody what they really want is probably only this, again, money dedicated to unavoidable highway and bridge maintenance into other social wishtinks [06:40] nobody but recently city had to close a main traffic lane crossing a bridge completely, because it's close to collapsing [06:40] nobody initially city began planning year 2006 to re-construct some of those bridges [06:41] nobody but opposition always shouted for re-assigned of the cashflow into other things [06:41] nobody this time it's not permitted, because subsidies are permitted for highway and bridge reconstruction only [06:41] nobody either this, or no money at all [06:41] nobody which
