Sun 18:40:53  │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 	│] that was fast
Sun 18:41:06  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Yeah, I'm good with cats.
Sun 18:41:27  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ My mom asked me how I always get the cats that don't tear the furniture up, scratch the walls, pee all over everything.
Sun 18:41:34  │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 	│] also with jabbascript?
Sun 18:42:53  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I told her "Well, when I go to the shelter to pick one, I listen to what the cat tells me. If the cat there tries to bite me or scratch me, we move right along. And you have to give them attention and love and you have to redirect destructive impulses like scratching to designated things, like those $50-60 scratching posts that last forever."
Sun 18:43:30  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ She had almost no luck with cats because when she went to the shelter to try to get one, she didn't listen to the cat.
Sun 18:43:37  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ She just said "Oh that one looks nice!"
Sun 18:44:26  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And then she takes it home and it pees on the laundry and she doesn't get that you have to sort of get a sense for what it's trying to tell you.
Sun 18:44:52  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The odd thing about cats is that one that doesn't like you might decide to like someone else.
Sun 18:45:14  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Nobody understood how my great-grandmother got her cat Sunny Boy to behave.
Sun 18:45:33  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ It turned out that it loved her and behaved for her, but it would attack everyone else.
Sun 18:45:46  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ He was declawed but he still knew how to atttack.
Sun 18:46:13  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ He would hide under furniture and wait for people to go by and jump out and ball up his paw and punch into the leg repeatedly and bite.
Sun 18:46:24  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But he never did that to my great-grandmother.
Sun 18:46:34  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ He'd hop up into her lap and chill out.
Sun 18:46:46  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So he was a good cat, for her.
Sun 18:47:06  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ She went into the hospital for a couple weeks and mom and dad had to watch Sunny Boy.
Sun 18:47:18  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ By the end of the two weeks, he had started to behave for them.
Sun 18:47:37  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Then she got out and they gave the cat back. Next time they went over to visit, Sunny Boy was back to attacking them.
Sun 18:47:57  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Cat behavior is unique to the cat.
Sun 18:48:24  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ There's cats that like one person better than others, cats that like everyone, and cats that only like one person.
Sun 18:48:43  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Leeloo was the kind that likes everyone.
Sun 18:48:58  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But Bobbi Jo and Kiki are the ones that like me better than others, but tolerate other people.
Sun 18:49:06  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I can already tell I have a second one like that now.
Sun 18:49:33  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Bobbi will go and hide if a new person is in the house, until they leave.
Sun 18:49:43  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ If they don't leave, she stops hiding after a couple of weeks.
Sun 18:50:19  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ schestowitz[TR2]: I think Kiki will be a decent size cat when she's finished growing.

Mon 00:18:40  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR: I need to take my TARDIS apart and replace the batteries.
Mon 00:18:43  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ :P
Mon 00:19:28  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ schestowitz[TR2]: An apartment that is disgusting isn't necessary in order to get a roach infestation.
Mon 00:19:35  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But you are rolling out the red carpet for them.
Mon 00:19:48  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ It will be 10 times worse than if you just kept a clean house.
Mon 00:20:02  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ A filthy apartment isn't a baseline for solving a roach problem.
Mon 00:20:57  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You need to clean the apartment, physically remove the roaches that are coming out into the open, and then do diagnostics with sticky traps, poison bait, and possibly even a good non-repellent insecticide deployment on the baseboards (still don't spray bait stations like Orkin did).
Mon 00:21:03  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Orkin never solved my roaches.
Mon 00:21:44  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They just came in once in a while, sprayed everything, ruined my bait operations, sprayed down my sticky traps and made it impossible to tell where roach activity was occurring because they sprayed the trap.
Mon 00:21:53  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They charge a lot of money.
Mon 00:22:19  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The exterminator should not come out, not only not solve the problem but screw up everything the customer is doing, and then send the bill.
Mon 00:22:25  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Butt that's what Orkin doees.
Mon 00:36:23  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ schestowitz[TR2]: The subject was the death of fast food. It's not just the price hikes.
Mon 00:36:47  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They demand that you use apps that are very unstable and personally track you to get their labor costs down, then you still pay a lot, just not the full menu price.
Mon 00:37:01  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And even if you pay cash, you can't always get a person.
Mon 00:37:13  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They have signs at the cash register that say "Use the Kiosk".
Mon 00:37:44  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Well, the kiosks don't take cash, they just print out a receipt so you can stand in line to pay cash at the register, behind all the people trying to order.
Mon 00:38:01  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Then they decided to do shit like, end free refills.
Mon 00:38:07  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So you can't get another coke if you run out.
Mon 00:38:31  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They said it was for hygiene and that you could ask an employee, but then they stopped doing any refills at all.
Mon 00:38:51  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Then they came out with a "value menu" that's actually so insulting that it's another price hike.
Mon 00:39:15  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Because they replaced promotions where you could order like two Daily Doubles for $4, with a $3 Daily Double.
Mon 00:39:39  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So if you actually wanted two, you have to pay $2 more now, because that's how value works, apparently.
Mon 00:40:55  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So then their CEO of McDonald's just came out and blamed it on people being broke.
Mon 00:41:17  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Yeah, because everything is ganging up on them at once, like the landlord and the power company, and McDonald's is optional and more expensive than cooking.

Mon 00:42:52  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The reporter says "consumers don't have a lot of money and whatever money they do have they don't want to spend there".
Mon 00:42:55  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Great summary.
Mon 00:43:43  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ schestowitz[TR2]: That website where I get my recipes from has cookbooks for sale, they're like $160 for the complete set.
Mon 00:44:03  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I skimmed them all at the library and used my phone's scanner to save all the ones that aren't on his website that sounded good.
Mon 00:45:01  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Like why am I going to get on Amazon when the library has over 500 cookbooks?
Mon 00:45:45  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ When I open a cookbook, and skim through it, I am very obviously never going to make all 50-60 recipes out of it. I might make 4-5. So buying an entire book is very wasteful of money and it takes up space in the house.
Mon 00:46:30  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Then something happens and you move and you have to shed weight. And those cookbooks don't all come with you.
Mon 00:47:25  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And your mother who has successfully helped destabilize your marriage and tell your spouse what a bastard you are when all you ever did was help them and it was like trying to help a rabid dog that repaid you by biting you says "I would send you things but you just throw away everything I send!"
Mon 00:47:34  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ My life isn't stable enough to accumulate things.
Mon 00:47:52  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I mean it must be nice to have four paychecks and not have to move every year or two.
Mon 00:48:15  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But between shitty insane landlords and a pile of bad exes, there's a limited number of things I can hold onto.
Mon 00:48:57  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ It's bad when you constantly have to keep room in the back of your head for a rolling inventory of "If I had to leave today what would I fit in a car?"
Mon 00:49:47  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ There's a number of reasons you have to be ready to bug-out.
Mon 00:50:30  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Your landlord could raise the rent $300 a month for no reason. They could move in shitty tenants that don't let you sleep for 6 months. They could be like Piyush, renting out rooms with black mold and cockroaches.
Mon 00:50:40  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And then you have to deal with people like John and Mandy.
Mon 00:51:03  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You know, they abuse the system to try to have you put in jail on false charges or they just want a green card and they don't even love you.
Mon 00:53:57  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Every one of those things is something that really happened to me.
Mon 00:54:44  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Anyway, I loved Scarface, because as fucked up as Tony Montana is, he has a point.
Mon 00:54:55  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Especially about the people around him being "cockroaches",
Mon 00:55:09  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Think about that word for a moment. What do cockroaches do?
Mon 00:55:55  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They live in the walls, they hate the light, they hate being in the open, they live off your crumbs, they are almost impossible to get rid of entirely.
Mon 00:56:11  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ He calls these people around him cockroaches because they embody all of these traits.
Mon 00:59:35  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They finally do succeed in killing him because he became complacent. He chose to live in a mansion, start sampling his own product too much, he let his enemies surround him and burrow in.
Mon 01:00:17  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ In the end he's screaming about how they're all a bunch of cockroaches, and he grabs a machine gun with a build in grenade launcher and kills like 30-40 of them but they still get him.
Mon 01:00:21  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Because there's too many.
Mon 01:05:08  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ [15:00] <schestowitz[TR2]> like no hot water and all that
Mon 01:05:32  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Most landlords will keep the things functional that have to work or else the city starts fining them or the tenants move out immediately.
Mon 01:06:10  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Like they're not going to let your hot water go out without fixing it, because nobody is going to stand cold showers every day when you're telling them they owe $1750 in rent.
Mon 01:06:48  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ When an entire building starts screaming at them and moving out or withholding rent and calling the city, the hot water magically stays on.
Mon 01:07:03  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But when you tell them "I saw roaches in my kitchen." That's not high priority.
Mon 01:07:19  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You're one guy, everyone else there is so gross they no longer care about roaches and they pay their rent.
Mon 01:08:02  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The reason Piyush doesn't operate in Chicago or Cook County is because their anti-slumlord laws have teeth. They bite.
Mon 01:08:13  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ He goes to places where the city government doesn't care what he does.
Mon 01:08:46  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And he extracts whatever he can from people who can't qualify to live anywhere else because their income is too unstable, they have bad credit, or they're on sex offender and domestic violence registries.
Mon 01:17:20  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ schestowitz[TR2]: I cleaned out the air conditioners today. With the electric bills running like they are I try to make sure nothing accumulates in the filter screens or the condenser fins.
Mon 01:17:35  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ An air conditioner that does not run efficiently becomes a power hog.
Mon 01:22:39  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ That air conditioner Piyush put in after the 1970s one failed was a biohazard like the rest of the apartment.
Mon 01:23:16  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I had to take it apart and clean it best I could with some AC condensor spray and an old credit card, wearing a respirator.

Mon 02:38:24  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ schestowitz[TR2]: I went to the grocery store to pick up more beer that was on the $6.99 sale.
Mon 02:38:38  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The shelf was sold out and nobody bothered restocking it.
Mon 02:39:04  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So I looked around, nobody was working nearby, so I ignored the employees only sign and went into the beer cooler and pulled some myself.
Mon 02:43:42  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ My guess is they're losing money on that sale beer anyway. So restocking the shelf even though they have plenty is not high priority. So they let it sit back there and stock it when the sale ends.
Mon 02:45:47  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The ad still brings in customers but they find nothing, throw a non-sale beer in the cart, and go on a "while I'm here anyway" binge.
