[00:02]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Democrats decided they had no chance in South Dakota and didn't run a Senate candidate this year because polling shows that an Independent is ahead of the Republican and they didn't want to split the vote and lose.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	So the Republicans could be down a seat in South Dakota without the Democrats picking one up.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	That's probably the best outcome that could have happened in SD.
[00:03]		*XFaCE_ (~XFaCE@uzfeivw9fp6ba.irc) has joined #techrights
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	There's always the possibility of that Independent deciding to caucus with the Republicans or vote to hand them control of the Senate, but it's not a given, and the Democrats in general are having good polling elsewhere.
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	If there was a split Senate and it all hinged on the South Dakota seat, it would turn into a war between Republicans and Democrats offering Brian Bengs anything he wanted to give them the Senate majority.

[02:08]	IsambardPrince	Like Communism.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	The message is no matter how bad their products get or how much money they lose, the taxpayers will be forced to buy more shares.
[02:09]	MinceR	well, the quality of intHell's wifi driver is already appropriate for communism
[02:10]	MinceR	it's like i'm on fucking dialup again

[02:29]	nobody	recently net-vpn/tor broke their onion-protocol, etc.
[02:29]	nobody	it's among the most annoying tasks, sigh
[02:31]	nobody	but still, i got an up-to-date libssl atop linux2 and tor.static running stable
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	I might try a store brand of pop-tarts next time.
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, I know they're junk but they're also delicious with morning coffee, at least they used to be.
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	They got 15% smaller, they don't frost the entire surface anymore, and there's less filling.

[03:04]	parsifal	<MinceR> it's like i'm on fucking dialup again
[03:04]	parsifal	^If you use the machine stationary, there is no benefit to using wireless connectivity, whether it's wifi or bluetooth.
[03:04]	parsifal	Both have always been an endless source of problems under Linux. I've always avoided using them where I can.
[03:05]	parsifal	Also both have fundamental problems arising from the very nature of the connection regardless of the operating system.
[03:05]	parsifal	The problem may be in the router also, it depends on what its capabilities are, what settings have been made to it, what channel the radio beacon transmits on, at what frequency, refresh rate, etc. 
[03:05]	parsifal	Because if it is left by default, then this means that the airwaves around are clogged with 1000 more routers with the same default settings, in general the issue is multi-layered, complex and achieving a satisfactory (not perfect) result is difficult.
[03:06]	MinceR	my mother and i would both keep tripping over the cable
[03:06]	MinceR	and i know it was much better before the last reboot

[03:07]	TR Bot	 Florida county wont investigate sketchy Flock cameras removed by mystery owners - Ars Technica
[03:10]	parsifal	You know for yourself, I'm sharing my experience on the matter, the cable problem has ways to be easily solved ;)
[03:16]	MinceR	there's plenty of resistance to that
[03:16]	MinceR	just to give you an idea: even the power is provided by a cable snaking through the open door
[03:27]	parsifal	solution: nearby hardware store, hammer drill for concrete, tacker and cable clamps (if it is optical, under no circumstances should you pierce it with the clamps, and also do not bend it at 90 degree angles because the fibers break)
[03:27]	parsifal	and then: we drill holes of any kind ;)
[03:28]	MinceR	yeah, that's exactly what i'm not allowed to do
[03:29]	IsambardPrince	Out of all the last meals of death row inmates, mine would probably look like a mix-up between John Wayne Gacy's and Timothy McVeigh's.
[03:30]	IsambardPrince	Instead of french fries to go with the bucket of KFC it would be mashed potatoes and gravy.
[03:32]	IsambardPrince	Mine would actually be a bucket of KFC extra crispy, some mashed potatoes and gravy, strawberry shortcake, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. And since I'm dying anyway, bring me a regular Coke.
[03:33]	parsifal	the supply of tricks has run out...\_( )_/  --->  get the landlord drunk... xD
[03:33]	IsambardPrince	And if they'll allow it, a pack of Marlboro Menthol 100s.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	I mean, they take you to the gas chamber next, right, so who cares?
[03:38]	MinceR	does the gas chamber still work?
[03:38]	MinceR	seems to me they should just go back to the firing squad
[03:38]	MinceR	i think nazi america can still make that work
[03:40]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Oh the court with sour cream and tomatoes said you can't just pump carbon dioxide in there and watch them choke.
[03:40]	IsambardPrince	Then European pharma companies won't sell drugs to prisons for an execution.
[03:40]	IsambardPrince	So we're back to things like firing squads now apparently.
[03:41]	IsambardPrince	Or single drug lethal injections that work half the time, and the other half the person gets tortured to death.
[03:41]	IsambardPrince	You know, they went to execute a woman in Tennessee a couple weeks ago.
[03:41]	IsambardPrince	She survived it and woke up in the hospital.
[03:43]	IsambardPrince	https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ck62ydn7dj9eo
[03:43]	TR Bot	 US inmate Christa Pike says she woke up 'confused and in pain' after failed execution
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It sparked a constitutional crisis and the governor immediately halted all scheduled executions.
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	The Eighth Amendment says that you have a right to not undergo cruel and unusual punishment.
[03:45]	IsambardPrince	That usually means that when people get the death sentence, the state has to make sure it's reasonably painless.
[03:45]	IsambardPrince	This was complete torture followed by waking up in a hospital.
● Nov 01
[04:06]	MinceR	at least there's no shortage of guns and ammo to execute people with
[04:07]	MinceR	not sure about people who can aim, though
[04:07]	MinceR	maybe one of the pedophile king's new allies will sell drones that can do the job, though
[04:07]	MinceR	remote controlled sniper turrets
[04:08]	MinceR	or they could just use RCWS-es, i guess. it would use a lot more ammo, but it would work.
[04:45]	parsifal	by the way(i use arch...lol)... i pulled another trick out of the bag <--- xD
[04:45]	parsifal	^router ---> repeater 1 (for the corridor) ---> repeater 2 (for the room you are in, a repeater that supports wifi-to-thernet bridge mode with an thernet / LAN port) ---> laptop
[04:45]	parsifal	this way you save yourself pinched cables from doors, drilling holes and getting drunk with the landlord, and you get a wired connection and don't have to use the Intel wireless driver ;)
[04:46]	MinceR	yeah, i was thinking about using some sort of travel router because not only is intHell unable to maintain a usable driver, but also, the wifi configuration situation on Linux is an incomprehensible train wreck
[04:54]	parsifal	 next time i come to ride a bike on the bike paths around Balaton, you'll buy me a glass of palinka for the idea and we're even ;P
