DaemonFC[m]Maybe the Windows 10 virus will be less successful in spreading now that nobody is even pretending that the monthly update that bricks your computer is "like Apple". No "Microsoft Store". It was fucking embarrassing anyway. Like they had this thing called Miracast which was just like DLNA, if DLNA didn't work at all.Jun 30 02:28
DaemonFC[m]So I asked the salescritter if he could make it work and he poked around and restarted things and yanked power cords for about 20 minutes and said "Sorry.".Jun 30 02:29

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Citi makes up more than a third of coronavirus-related credit card complaints - CNNJun 30 02:43
DaemonFC[m]Not surprised. Citi was the first one to turn me over to collections. One that has a notorious reputation for illegal activities, like calling your neighbors and stuff and telling them about your debts, and ignoring instructions to stop bothering people at work.Jun 30 02:44
DaemonFC[m]The credit card people kick you out to a collection agency like that because it minimizes their own risk and "harm to the brand" to let someone else get nasty with you and break the law for them.Jun 30 02:45
DaemonFC[m]The fact that Citi is getting much nastier with people than other banks are even when it's pretty clear it would be in the long term interest to throw them a bone makes me think that Citi is in more trouble right now and may collapse soon.Jun 30 02:47
DaemonFC[m]Even Capital One is deferring interest and payments while people are on unemployment, for now.Jun 30 02:48
DaemonFC[m]Citi is just going straight for your throat the moment you're late.Jun 30 02:48

schestowitzAUD = AU dollar (typo)Jun 30 13:49
oiaohmschestowitz: AUS dollar is not exactly 100 percent wrong its is a slang you see as in reference to "Aussie Dollar"  instead of Australian Dollar.   Of course is the same thing.Jun 30 13:53
oiaohmschestowitz: Microsoft is in the proper Trillion dollar market cap.  Microsoft holds 286  Billion in assets.   1.3 billion in facebook if you look at assets is less than half a percent.     Of course even asset valuations and share price valuations are part fiction.Jun 30 14:05

DaemonFC[m]I've been using the pressure cooker a lot because I can make large quantities of food in it and then we have leftovers to send Mandy to work with, and a leftover night each week.Jun 30 19:01
DaemonFC[m]Just grab something from the past week and heat it up.Jun 30 19:01
DaemonFC[m]No grocery expense that day.Jun 30 19:01
DaemonFC[m]Also, to contain costs, I took out a Walmart card for Mandy that gives us 5% back on our grocery orders.Jun 30 19:01
DaemonFC[m]In the last month that gave us $25 back. Jun 30 19:02
DaemonFC[m]Between our stuff, the cat stuff, gas (Murphy/Walmart gas is a bonus), etc.Jun 30 19:02
DaemonFC[m]I think we could pull in $300 or so a year just off gas and groceries on that card.Jun 30 19:03

DaemonFC[m]I started buying those economy size cans of coffee because it works out to about 30% cheaper on unit price than the "big can".Jun 30 19:04
DaemonFC[m]Half and half, a half a gallon at a time.Jun 30 19:05
DaemonFC[m]Bulk buying works out sometimes, especially when there's two of you.Jun 30 19:05
DaemonFC[m]Mandy will go "So expensive!" and I have to point out, "Not if you look at the problem as trying to get the long term smoothed average down.".Jun 30 19:06

DaemonFC[m]They were hoping for a V shaped recession, but we're going to get a sustained one because this damned virus is really at least a 12 month problem without a vaccine and that's if it just blows through doing whatever it does and then it's mostly over with because herd immunity.Jun 30 19:09
DaemonFC[m]They were hoping that there were just a fuckton of infections out there that weren't getting diagnosed because of mild symptoms and if that was the case, we wouldn't have Fauci testifying  to the Senate that we could be seeing 100,000+ confirmed per day for a while at some point soon.Jun 30 19:10
DaemonFC[m]For this to be going on, something's happening. Either we were diagnosing more of the total cases than we thought, the immunity in survivors isn't as good as it needs to be, or some of both.Jun 30 19:11
DaemonFC[m]Anyway, MinceR I was inspired by The Running Man with the fine.Jun 30 19:12

MinceRit's actually turning into IdiocracyJun 30 19:25
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: No, I think Escape from New York.Jun 30 19:28
DaemonFC[m]We even have a warlord, apparently in the "Seattle Neutral Zone". Or whatever it is they're calling that now.Jun 30 19:28
MinceR:>Jun 30 19:30
DaemonFC[m]According to the far right, it's either a domestic terrorist group, like ISIS, which will take over America one city block at a time, or a few kids making a pillow fort. Whatever mood Fox News is in.Jun 30 19:31
MinceRit's a superposition of bothJun 30 19:32
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Of course, chaining Fox News narratives together, it's Time Traveling Weather Underground setting up a base of operations to help Barack Hussein Obama turn America into Communism.Jun 30 19:32
MinceRand who's the warlord?Jun 30 19:32
DaemonFC[m]Probably whoever they Photoshopped in this week.Jun 30 19:33

DaemonFC[m]"NO! WE GO IN! WE KILL!!!! NO MORE TALK! WE KILL!!!!"Jun 30 19:34
MinceRand who's Snake Plissken?Jun 30 19:35
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: This seems to be something more like the far-left version of the takeover of the wildlife preserve several years ago by the Bundys. Jun 30 19:35
DaemonFC[m]No, not Al Bundy, a guy that was mad that the government was charging him to let his cattle graze on public land.Jun 30 19:36
DaemonFC[m]Of course, not learning a damned thing from the Waco incident, he ended up getting his brother killed in the ensuing raid.Jun 30 19:36
MinceR:>Jun 30 19:36
DaemonFC[m]If you piss off the government just so, they will "accidentally" come in and kill people, including many women and children if the need arises. Jun 30 19:37
DaemonFC[m]The re-election of Bill Clinton just proved that there was no political damage done by the Waco incident. Jun 30 19:38
MinceRagain, proving the "social contract" to be a hoaxJun 30 19:38
DaemonFC[m]They should have known that since it was impossible for Clinton to carry Texas in 1996 anyway that he was probably not in the mood to bring that to a peaceful resolution.Jun 30 19:38
DaemonFC[m]<MinceR "again, proving the "social contr"> Pretty much, but so did the virus. Remember that part about  the social contract where you agreed to give $4 trillion mostly to banks and companies that should have failed years ago anyway which gobbled up "Paycheck Protection" loans while the government did fuck all for peopl?Jun 30 19:40
DaemonFC[m]Because I sure remember signing that.Jun 30 19:40
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: So, I took the one time $1,200 check from the government and filed bankruptcy against my creditors. Or as I like to call it, a tax return.Jun 30 19:41
DaemonFC[m]I mean, you really can't fault it as a strategy. The $1,200 either pays about 1 month of rent -or- shreds something like $80,000 worth of debt that is fresh enough for various companies to try to collect on and harass me with for perhaps 27 years. Jun 30 19:42
DaemonFC[m]I don't feel like dealing with what happened in 2019 until I'm 63 years old.Jun 30 19:43
DaemonFC[m]So fuck all of them.Jun 30 19:43
DaemonFC[m]There was already something like $1.4 trillion in revolving credit card loans out there before the virus hit.Jun 30 19:45
DaemonFC[m]About 3% were so late that the bank was about to charge them off, but ...... That's like $42 billion?Jun 30 19:46
DaemonFC[m]Also, this neat thing happens to make credit card default look low.Jun 30 19:46
DaemonFC[m]They get to charge it off and sell it to a collection agency, and then nobody is tracking it anymore, after 6 months.Jun 30 19:46
DaemonFC[m]So if I had to make and educated guess here, something like $100-150 billion in credit card debt will be blown away in bankruptcy in the coming months.Jun 30 19:47
DaemonFC[m]More after that, because many people stopped paying their cards in April who wouldn't have, to free up what money they had for current expenses.Jun 30 19:47
DaemonFC[m]Now the banks saw this unfolding and have gotten really tight with their lending and have been closing accounts and reducing credit limits to amount owed, to head people off who might be tempted to max the card out and walk away.Jun 30 19:48
DaemonFC[m]The problem is that there were so many people trapped in an endless cycle of minimum payments to kick the can at the point where the banks woke up and decided to mitigate, that they're probably going to be exposed so something more like $400-500 billion in losses on credit cards that go into bankruptcy in the next 6 months.Jun 30 19:49
DaemonFC[m]That's not even talking about mortgages and car payments, which are both much bigger than credit cards.Jun 30 19:50
DaemonFC[m]Or student loans, where Trump tried to prevent mass default and people being raked over the coals during an election year with executive orders.Jun 30 19:50
DaemonFC[m]Trump channeled Bernie Sanders on student loans, with executive actions he could have taken at any time, but decided that he had an election to try to salvage and that people might not be in quite enough of a rotten mood to do anything about him if they didn't have the student loan people breathing down their necks at that very moment in November.Jun 30 19:51
DaemonFC[m]Then, after the election, guess what happens.Jun 30 19:52
DaemonFC[m]People are stupid and if a problem isn't a problem at that very minute, they're not thinking about it.Jun 30 19:52
DaemonFC[m]So the student loan thing definitely comes back as soon as Trump doesn't need these people to not be furious.Jun 30 19:53
DaemonFC[m]He's pushing things around so that people aren't feeling maximum pain until after the election. It is not fixing anything.Jun 30 19:53
DaemonFC[m]In fact, we are so fucked after the election if he is still in there for another 4 years that it's not even funny.Jun 30 19:54
DaemonFC[m]There's no consequences in his mind for anything he does at that point, so if there's been anything moderating him for the past 4 years, it's gone.Jun 30 19:54
DaemonFC[m]I'd much rather deal with a couple of months of whatever he does as a lame duck than another 4 years of Trump unchained.Jun 30 19:55
DaemonFC[m]You still have these fucking idiots that refuse to grow up and support Biden because he's not Bernie Sanders.Jun 30 19:56
DaemonFC[m]Presumably not as many as in 2016. Jun 30 19:56
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: So I'm really hoping for a mass wave of bankruptcy before the election, because it's coming sooner or later, and it might as well be happening while Trump can't possibly defend it.Jun 30 19:58
DaemonFC[m]While it could at least kick people in the nuts hard enough to get rid of him.Jun 30 19:58
DaemonFC[m]This Russian bounty hunting thing is blowing up on him right now.Jun 30 19:59
DaemonFC[m]Putin is obviously finished with Trump. There's no strategic value in the Russians paying a few camel jockeys to pick off a US soldier or two, other than as an election year scandal that hits Trump where it hurts.Jun 30 20:00
MinceRhttps://files.catbox.moe/01hyrn.jpgJun 30 20:00
DaemonFC[m]Now it's gonna be all over the news this woman who says my son was killed by terrorists that were paid by the Russians while Trump knew about it and tried covering it up.Jun 30 20:01
DaemonFC[m]That's not going to play well.Jun 30 20:01
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Well, I think it's going to be an ongoing problem in Europe any way you look at it.Jun 30 20:02
DaemonFC[m]Whether it's mainly an economic one (like they needed one more) or whether it flares up again with no vaccine.Jun 30 20:02
DaemonFC[m]One of the things these decadent morons needed was tourists from the US to bring their money to spend on con games and muggings.Jun 30 20:04
DaemonFC[m]Now that's gone.Jun 30 20:04
DaemonFC[m]The UK has turned into something that's even more far gone than the United States.Jun 30 20:05
DaemonFC[m]They're about 10-20 years further into the collapse of society in many ways.Jun 30 20:05
DaemonFC[m]After Brexit, which was pretty entirely the fault of England, pretty much everyone else wants out of the UK now.Jun 30 20:06
DaemonFC[m]In Northern Ireland, most did already.Jun 30 20:06
DaemonFC[m]Now Scotland wants another swing at an independence referendum.Jun 30 20:06
DaemonFC[m]What they're going through right now is basically states trying to secede from a union.Jun 30 20:06
DaemonFC[m]So it's basically a Cold Civil War at the moment.Jun 30 20:06
DaemonFC[m]They're fucked.Jun 30 20:07
DaemonFC[m]This is not the same society that stood firm against the Nazis.Jun 30 20:07
DaemonFC[m]This is the logical unraveling that began with Margaret Thatcher.Jun 30 20:07
DaemonFC[m]Give her ~4 decades and she's right. There is no society.Jun 30 20:08
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: So, they can laugh at the US if they want. Whatever gives them a security blanket so they can suck on their collective thumb and not think about Troubles 2.0.Jun 30 20:09
DaemonFC[m]That's already starting.Jun 30 20:09
DaemonFC[m]Eventually, everyone who goes against England and resists wins. They fold like a cheap card table and leave.Jun 30 20:10
DaemonFC[m]So it might not happen tomorrow, but I believe it will.Jun 30 20:11
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Also, ZING! Another Star Trek prophecy comes true. The banned (in England) TNG episode where Data says that resistance from Northern Ireland was successful by 2026.Jun 30 20:12
MinceR:>Jun 30 20:12
DaemonFC[m]I was unhappy to see that they took some mild concessions from their invaders and disarmed themselves.Jun 30 20:13
DaemonFC[m]God, even as a teenager I was unhappy to see that.Jun 30 20:13
DaemonFC[m]Trump has been threatening the states with much the same treatment. The blue states anyway.Jun 30 20:14
DaemonFC[m]That he'd send in the army if he didn't like what they did.Jun 30 20:14
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Gun permit applications in Illinois are up over 500% from normal.Jun 30 20:14
DaemonFC[m]People who don't want to be occupied and see it coming are arming themselves.Jun 30 20:14
MinceRgoodJun 30 20:15
DaemonFC[m]After Trump threatened us, Governor Pritzker said gun stores could reopen and were now "essential".Jun 30 20:15
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: I'll be submitting a new FOID application the day after probation ends.Jun 30 20:16
DaemonFC[m]Disorderly Conduct is not a violent crime under FOID and I was not convicted.Jun 30 20:16
DaemonFC[m]The "don't possess guns" condition expires when probation does.Jun 30 20:16
DaemonFC[m]So I do plan to get a new permit immediately.Jun 30 20:17
*AVRS has quit (Quit: WeeChat 2.8)Jun 30 20:17
DaemonFC[m]Between rioting and Trump threatening to send in the army, people just do not want to think about how they can respond to that with baseball bats and pepper spray.Jun 30 20:17
DaemonFC[m]FOID needs to be repealed or struck down.Jun 30 20:18
DaemonFC[m]I was really hoping someone could get this one to the Supreme Court.Jun 30 20:18
DaemonFC[m]They've been throwing out anti-gun laws six ways to Sunday and this one needs to go away too.Jun 30 20:18
DaemonFC[m]That's why we have a second amendment. The government cannot ever be trusted not to do whatever it thinks it can get away with.Jun 30 20:19
DaemonFC[m]Without an armed civilian population, it'll be a complete pushover.Jun 30 20:19
DaemonFC[m]The anti-gun movement is collapsing right in front of us.Jun 30 20:20
DaemonFC[m]That's good. That's one reason everyone hates the left.Jun 30 20:21
DaemonFC[m]They're like Arnold Rimmer after he has his anger sucked out by the Polymorph and becomes a guidance counselor.Jun 30 20:22
DaemonFC[m]Suggests hitting it hard and fast with a major leaflet campaign.Jun 30 20:22
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: The problem here is that there's a circus going on, on both extremes.Jun 30 20:23
DaemonFC[m]On the left, it's a polar opposite full of social justice warriors, wimps, and womyn.Jun 30 20:23

DaemonFC[m]So filings are trending upwards after a very calm April and May.Jun 30 20:54
DaemonFC[m]Yes, schestowitz is correct. I'm watching this closely because I'm a disaster junkie and I can admit it. I also think that the bankruptcy courts are going to burn down a lot of the pervasive rot that has accumulated, and help spark a banking crisis that will land on Trump's front doorstep heading into the election.Jun 30 20:56

DaemonFC[m]Comcast and Microsoft are kind of the same in that if they invest any effort into making something work, it's because it's bad for you.Jun 30 21:10
DaemonFC[m]The rest can just stay halfassed and broken.Jun 30 21:10
DaemonFC[m]The US government letting Microsoft buy their way in and burrow is the reason the Chinese military keeps getting all of our R&D after we paid for it.Jun 30 21:11
DaemonFC[m]I'd be surprised if all of those Chinese students that get arrested for spying lately are spies.Jun 30 21:12
DaemonFC[m]They might be, but Trump's election is in trouble, and rounding up random Chinese and accusing them of being spies is exactly what a guy like him would do.Jun 30 21:13
DaemonFC[m]I would. Jun 30 21:13
DaemonFC[m]If the cases all fall apart, it'll be after election day and you can just deport them anyway.Jun 30 21:13
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: High Machs score very low on Social Intelligence, oddly enough. The theory is that they manipulate others successfully because they're more willing to do it than most people.Jun 30 21:15
DaemonFC[m]There was an episode of Star Trek Voyager where the Doctor had his ethical subroutines deleted by the crew of another ship that had made more progress getting through the Delta Quadrant than Voyager, despite having a much less advanced ship.Jun 30 21:16
DaemonFC[m]The crew got as far along as they did because the first thing they did was abandon all Starfleet protocols and start acting like a bunch of pirates.Jun 30 21:16
DaemonFC[m]When they sucked out the Doctor's ethics program, he became capable of doing almost anything despite the fact that absolutely nothing else about his program's capabilities had changed in the slightest. Jun 30 21:17

DaemonFC[m]I have no idea where I score on Social Intelligence, but when people cross paths with me I'll cut them to ribbons.Jun 30 21:18
DaemonFC[m]Because I will say or do anything that will get me out of a bind. Jun 30 21:18
DaemonFC[m]I turned two years in prison into bad credit for a little while, kind of. Jun 30 21:19
DaemonFC[m]Trump isn't that much different than I am except that he is not nearly as smart. Jun 30 21:19
DaemonFC[m]If someone handed me millions of dollars and gave me decades to do what I wanted to with it, I would be incredibly wealthy right now.Jun 30 21:20

DaemonFC[m]Perhaps, even the president. Jun 30 21:20
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: It's a vicious world. As Londo Mollari once said in B5, when asked why he did some things.Jun 30 21:21
DaemonFC[m]"Because, sooner or later, you would have done it to me."Jun 30 21:21
DaemonFC[m]At some point, with that stupid car out there somewhere, John would stumble over financially and the finance company would go back to pursuing me about it while he ended up filing bankruptcy.Jun 30 21:22
-viera/#techrights-Tux Machines: Relive the NeXTSTEP Operating System with Window Maker http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/139345 [https://pleroma.site/objects/2a4b0194-ef41-4705-aacb-63e44ac0a221]Jun 30 21:22
DaemonFC[m]Then I'd have a bankruptcy and a repo on my credit, and that's worse. Jun 30 21:22
DaemonFC[m]Now he'll have to figure out just the right way to lose the car, or that will be him.Jun 30 21:23
DaemonFC[m]He's not as smart as me though.Jun 30 21:23
DaemonFC[m]So this was just the least shitty opportunity to hit the Self Destruct that I was going to get. Jun 30 21:24
DaemonFC[m]If you lose a car outside of a bankruptcy to a repo, the repo survives on your credit as well as the bankruptcy.Jun 30 21:25
DaemonFC[m]They might never be able to get the money from you, but the repo on top does another 100-150 points of damage.Jun 30 21:25
DaemonFC[m]So, MinceR, in Star Trek terminology. Do you want to get hit with one photon torpedo before you can get the shields up, or two?Jun 30 21:26
DaemonFC[m]I'm sure that John will get hit with both barrels before he gets out from under that stupid loan.Jun 30 21:29
DaemonFC[m]What did we learn?Jun 30 21:29
DaemonFC[m]NEVER sign a car loan again.Jun 30 21:29

DaemonFC[m]I was fully expecting to get hit twice because I didn't think John would get the car back.Jun 30 21:30
DaemonFC[m]So ironically he spent a lot of money to bail me out somewhat. Jun 30 21:30
DaemonFC[m]I limped on for several more months and filed bankruptcy.Jun 30 21:30
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: I quoted The Martian when Mandy asked me what I was going to do.Jun 30 21:31
DaemonFC[m]I said, "I'm going to science the shit of it.".Jun 30 21:31
DaemonFC[m]His sister trying to fuck our immigration case would be the part of the movie where his potatoes blew up.Jun 30 21:32

DaemonFC[m]The Dad jokes just went on and on. Jun 30 21:35
MinceRDaemonFC[m]: why would the shields ever not be up?Jun 30 21:36
DaemonFC[m]Well, usually because they're an enormous drain on the ship and are only raised during combat or when it is anticipated.Jun 30 21:37
DaemonFC[m]The Klingons and Romulans have cloaks. They uncloak and they can immediately fire as soon as the cloak generator turns off. Jun 30 21:37
DaemonFC[m]So it's possible to come under attack suddenly and without realizing it fast enough to immediately raise shields.Jun 30 21:38
MinceRso usually they just take all the micrometeorites down with the hull?Jun 30 21:38
DaemonFC[m]The plot hole of "Well, what about micro-meteorites and stellar dust? Especially at warp!" was finally closed, in Enterprise, I believe.Jun 30 21:39
MinceRi'm sure none of it will cause any harm.Jun 30 21:39
DaemonFC[m]The ship has some sort of hull polarization at all times that's enough to deal with that. Jun 30 21:39
MinceRjust get a ship from one of the 'verses where the shield can be up all the time :>Jun 30 21:39
MinceRin Tyrian, you can take small ships out just by ramming them with the shieldJun 30 21:39
DaemonFC[m]Well, in Yesterday's Enterprise, the Federation had been at war with the Klingon Empire for over 20 years and the Enterprise D was a "Federation Warship".Jun 30 21:40
schestowitz+29,725 covid19, usJun 30 21:41
DaemonFC[m]It was explained that most of the ship ran at low power in order to have the shields up all the time.Jun 30 21:41

DaemonFC[m]The Federation was on the losing side of the war.Jun 30 21:42
DaemonFC[m]Starfleet had been keeping it under wraps because they didn't want to admit that the Federation would collapse within months at the rate the war was going.Jun 30 21:42

MinceRi probably forgot that i already sent itJun 30 21:43
MinceRwhile i was reading the textJun 30 21:43
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: In war, you generally either want your enemy to operate with no information or with information that confuses them and forces them to make a big mistake.Jun 30 21:43
MinceRDaemonFC[m]: "THIS IS NOT WAR, THIS IS PEST CONTROL!"Jun 30 21:44
DaemonFC[m]If you can't fight them, you make it appear like you can. If you can ambush them and inflict heavy damage, you make it seem like the place you want them to attack is lightly defended and is, therefore, an irresistible target. Jun 30 21:45
DaemonFC[m]I spent an insane amount of resources making it appear like I could defend myself well, that the jury would be sympathetic to my mental illness and a state of confusion brought about by sleeping pills, etc.Jun 30 21:46
DaemonFC[m]Then I went on the offensive by using the car as a talking point over lunch with John.Jun 30 21:47
DaemonFC[m]Reminding him if I went to jail I would definitely not be able to pay it.Jun 30 21:47
DaemonFC[m]So he started backpeddling by the time the prosecutor got around to calling him.Jun 30 21:47
*obarun (~obarun@host-115-126-165-174.fibre.nautile.nc) has joined #techrightsJun 30 21:48
DaemonFC[m]So, by the time I signed the plea deal, the prosecutor thought that he was dealing with a hopelessly lost case if it found its way into trial and gave up without demanding very much from me.Jun 30 21:48
DaemonFC[m]Then I defaulted on the car 6 days later and drove it for months while John was screaming at me over my voicemail. Jun 30 21:48
DaemonFC[m]Then had it repossessed on purpose and dropped the insurance and took the license plates too.Jun 30 21:48
DaemonFC[m]Then a few months after he paid thousands just to get it out of repo and to cover me driving it for free while I had the Impala under repair, the Coronavirus struck and put him on unemployment, and he started slipping on the car payments.Jun 30 21:49
schestowitzMinceR: happens to me a lotJun 30 21:49
DaemonFC[m]So I filed bankruptcy and left him holding the bag on that.Jun 30 21:50

DaemonFC[m]The Everything Wrong With series goes too far sometimes. Why would the T-1000 throw the T-800 through a window and then walk away?Jun 30 23:53
DaemonFC[m]Uhm, because the primary target was fleeing and it didn't have time to continue the fight with the T-800. Plus, it was a superior model, so even if the T-800 caught up to it, it could just destroy it later. (In fact, it nearly did later.)Jun 30 23:54
