| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I calculated the potential penalties for Hal making a BattleBot to saw through his boss's luxury car and attack the boss with a swarm of bees. | Aug 02 01:10 |
|---|---|---|
| IsambardPrince | In Malcolm in the Middle. | Aug 02 01:11 |
| IsambardPrince | That's 16 years if the boss doesn't die, and a fine of up to $100,000. If the boss dies, it's a life sentence with possibility of parole after 20 years, plus the 16 years, making Hal potentially parole-eligible after 28 years. | Aug 02 01:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Civil liabilities. | Aug 02 01:12 |
| IsambardPrince | A Department of Child and Family Services Investigation. | Aug 02 01:12 |
| IsambardPrince | As well as potentially five federal felonies. | Aug 02 01:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Including possession of a weapon of mass destruction, interstate stalking, federal murder, destruction of a vehicle used in interstate commerce, and the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act. | Aug 02 01:13 |
| MinceR | and then Malcolm joins NEG ThunderCrash | Aug 02 01:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Two potential life sentences and 25 years. | Aug 02 01:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Meaning he'd be parole-eligible in about 60 years, with good behavior. | Aug 02 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So with good time, he might be out in 88 years. If the boss dies during the swarm of bees after getting his luxury car sawed in half. | Aug 02 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Where the show stops him he's at four counts of Reckless Endangerment from Craig and the three children in the backyard when he tests it, a DCFS investigation, and the federal charge of possession of a weapon of mass destruction and the biological weapons anti-terrorism act. | Aug 02 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | That's just for building it and testing it in his backyard. | Aug 02 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | It it was just the table saws and he tested it in his backyard, the federal charges wouldn't apply. | Aug 02 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | It's the bees that make it a federal crime. | Aug 02 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Hal actually is quite the menace. | Aug 02 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | He also committed a number of crimes by accidentally derailing a freight train carrying hazardous waste with a couch that fell off his car. | Aug 02 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: He could have gotten 30 years from that one. | Aug 02 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | And the immediate seizure of all of his belongings including the house. | Aug 02 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I'm whistling Still Alive from Portal. | Aug 02 01:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I just baked a chocolate mayonnaise cake and German chocolate frosting. | Aug 02 01:32 |

| *darwin has quit (Quit: peace be with you) | Aug 02 02:17 | |
| IsambardPrince | Maybe instead of focusing on their religious hatred of Free Software, they should work on getting networking and graphics drivers. | Aug 02 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | FreeBSD has never fully worked on a single PC I tried to install it on. | Aug 02 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Even better, Solaris did. | Aug 02 02:19 |
| MinceR | that would be redundant, though -- there already are operating systems that have networking and graphics drivers | Aug 02 02:19 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: The lower end Apple devices are not available on the Klarna leasing program. | Aug 02 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | It's to force people who are broke to buy Apple's most expensive stuff. | Aug 02 05:31 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Millionaires don't want to throw away $1200 on a phone when a $599 one works just fine and has all the same stuff. | Aug 02 05:42 |
| IsambardPrince | They're certainly not going to do it every year. | Aug 02 05:43 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "Millionaires" is just a label | Aug 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like people who borrow money | Aug 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then become "Millionaires" | Aug 02 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Dave Ramsey calls them Everyday Millionaires. | Aug 02 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | The ones that really have money. | Aug 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with money they don't have | Aug 02 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | And they don't get that way by being stupid. | Aug 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | real millionaires dress simple | Aug 02 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | And going I want a new $1200 phone every single year. | Aug 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | don't drive fancy cars | Aug 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and maybe don't use mobile | Aug 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they don't "signal" anything | Aug 02 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Most do, but every actual millionaire I knew used a lower end phone. | Aug 02 05:44 |
| Goblin | I was forced to use Apple products for a short period of time (both phone and desktop) and I swore Id never use them again, restrictive, degenative performance over a short period of time and hideously expensive. | Aug 02 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | And kept it around until it was either falling apart or the apps stopped working. | Aug 02 05:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Goblin: mobile is always bad | Aug 02 05:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | all platforms | Aug 02 05:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you cannot get much done | Aug 02 05:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you get the illusion of it | Aug 02 05:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | many clicks | Aug 02 05:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but little gets done | Aug 02 05:45 |
| Goblin | Ive now got a cheap android mainly for calls but if I need to dip into a little IRC or social media, it suffices at a push | Aug 02 05:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | typing into mobile is slow | Aug 02 05:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there is no solution to that | Aug 02 05:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not even voice | Aug 02 05:46 |
| Goblin | yep I'll attest to that | Aug 02 05:46 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: When you ask the state for food stamps, they're still using the same web application they did 10 years ago. | Aug 02 05:46 |
| IsambardPrince | It was not meant for a phone. | Aug 02 05:46 |
| IsambardPrince | When you apply for a Firearm Owner ID Card, the State Police say don't do it on a phone or it could cause your application to be denied. | Aug 02 05:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They tie a Constitutional Right to a card, that needs renewed, then say you might get denied for using a mobile browser. | Aug 02 05:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They do this shit because, even though they call you a customer, the State is a monopoly. | Aug 02 05:47 |
| IsambardPrince | There's not another state that you can do business with instead if you live here. | Aug 02 05:48 |
| IsambardPrince | So they don't care how bad their websites are. | Aug 02 05:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Or how gross their public offices are. The ones that are gross and in bad repair deal with people who are asking for welfare or unemployment checks. And the absolute worst ones are dealing with prisoners or probationers. | Aug 02 05:48 |
| IsambardPrince | They literally put that office there in the 1960s or 1970s and have not updated it since then. | Aug 02 05:49 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a waste of money. They're dealing with poor people, or people who are being punished. | Aug 02 05:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Why spend money? | Aug 02 05:50 |
| IsambardPrince | About the only things the state spends pretty freely on are things that hurt people. | Aug 02 05:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Like the police and National Guard. | Aug 02 05:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | re ". And the absolute worst ones are dealing with prisoners or probationers." | Aug 02 05:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump sees the National Guard the same way the people who caused the Kent State Massacre did. | Aug 02 05:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i spoke to my dad about it days ago | Aug 02 05:51 |
| IsambardPrince | He sees them that way as a feature, not a bug. | Aug 02 05:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they don't even solve death threats | Aug 02 05:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they know those are death threats | Aug 02 05:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he said, society has changed | Aug 02 05:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are too many people | Aug 02 05:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and police is understaff | Aug 02 05:52 |
| IsambardPrince | The military should _never_ be in command of civilians, ever. | Aug 02 05:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *ed | Aug 02 05:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or overworked | Aug 02 05:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | same thing | Aug 02 05:52 |
| IsambardPrince | No military trial for civilians, ever. | Aug 02 05:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | more people -> more crime | Aug 02 05:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not just moore crimes to look into | Aug 02 05:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Not unless all Hell has broken loose and the State cannot maintain order with civilian law enforcement. | Aug 02 05:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so it no longer scales | Aug 02 05:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | humans are in each other's face | Aug 02 05:52 |
| IsambardPrince | At Kent State, the state didn't even try to restore order with civilian police. | Aug 02 05:53 |
| IsambardPrince | They sent in soldiers, people died. | Aug 02 05:53 |
| IsambardPrince | That was the whole point. | Aug 02 05:53 |
| IsambardPrince | That's what Trump wants. | Aug 02 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but that was ages ago | Aug 02 05:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump is from that era. | Aug 02 05:53 |

| IsambardPrince | :P | Aug 02 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | When you're so old that it becomes a source of dark comedy that the State uses the public education system to pitch pro-police propaganda at impressionable young children. | Aug 02 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | If they had to tell you the truth, the cop would walk in there and the teacher would say "Maybe someday, a guy in a uniform like this one will play sick head games with you in order to invent a crime that did not happen. | Aug 02 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They would also have to go over phrases to remember. | Aug 02 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | "You're not in any trouble." You're in trouble. | Aug 02 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | "You're not under arrest." But there's a good chance you're about to be. | Aug 02 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | "We just have some questions for you." Don't say anything to them. Ever. | Aug 02 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | If a cop says anything at all to you, there's a reason for that. | Aug 02 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | "Where are you heading?" I'm not answering any questions, I want my attorney. | Aug 02 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | "Where are you coming from?" ^ | Aug 02 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | "I smell alcohol. Have you been drinking tonight?" ^^ | Aug 02 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | "Can you open the door?" Do you have a warrant signed by a judge describing the person or thing to be searched and/or seized? | Aug 02 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | "Can I come in?" ^ | Aug 02 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | "Do you know how fast you were going?" (Stay silent. Let him say the next thing. Don't say how fast you were going.) | Aug 02 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | "Do you know why I pulled you over?" No. Why did you pull me over? | Aug 02 07:04 |
| *parsifal (~parsifal@rpcdzuq4hszjw.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 02 07:05 | |
| IsambardPrince | "Do you mind doing a field sobriety test?" I will not be doing any field sobriety tests, as they are not required under any law or Informed Consent. I will offer you a breathalyzer or blood test in compliance with Informed Consent. | Aug 02 07:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Basically when schools have the cops come in, it's the state grooming your children. | Aug 02 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | It's another excellent reason to put your kids in a private school where the state doesn't get to do that. | Aug 02 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | In the US system, Detectives and uniformed officers do not operate as fact-finders. They develop a narrative then send in a Closer. | Aug 02 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The Supreme Court has ruled that the police cannot extend a traffic stop longer than necessary to take care of the reason why they pulled you over. | Aug 02 07:09 |
| IsambardPrince | So they start asking questions that have *something* to do with driving, but they're setting up a timeline to look for inconsistencies and things to justify keeping you there longer and investigating other things. | Aug 02 07:09 |
| IsambardPrince | If you agree to do a field sobriety test, which you are not under any legal obligation to perform, they cop can used subjective interpretations to gather evidence if a DUI, and charge you with one, even if you have not been drinking and would have blown a 0.00 on the breathalyzer. | Aug 02 07:11 |
| Goblin | :) - I like Officer Friendly although Ive been out since 2014...so just friendly.....my nickname at work is Timmy Two Fans, on account of me having two fans on my desk on the go even in winter. | Aug 02 07:12 |
| IsambardPrince | I realize the UK is different. The police can probably do more things to you there. | Aug 02 07:13 |
| IsambardPrince | They like to take advantage of mass ignorance and mass compliance here. | Aug 02 07:13 |
| IsambardPrince | To get people to agree to things the Constitution says they can't do. | Aug 02 07:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The only way to survive the Reid Technique is to never let them get started with it. | Aug 02 07:13 |
| Goblin | I think were it differs and this is my view only......the UK police are far more accountable than the US | Aug 02 07:13 |
| IsambardPrince | How accountable they are here varies greatly by State. | Aug 02 07:14 |
| IsambardPrince | For example, in New Mexico, the police do not have qualified immunity. | Aug 02 07:14 |
| Goblin | yes thats what I'm led to believe (but only from the Youtube videos I've seen) | Aug 02 07:14 |
| IsambardPrince | If they violate your rights, you can sue that officer directly and potentially end up being paid directly out of his assets. | Aug 02 07:14 |
| IsambardPrince | The only time I've ever gone to the police about something myself is to get out ahead of an accusation. | Aug 02 07:15 |
| Goblin | One thing which I never understand is when people ask "are you a cop" in the US.....even I know that a US cop does not need to admit to being one in the course of an investigation. | Aug 02 07:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Like, "Why would a guilty person come to us before the alleged victim." | Aug 02 07:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Like, one time, someone stole a woman's credit card and went shopping on Walmart with it and I had a bunch of things come to my house. | Aug 02 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | She called me directly and asked who I was and why I had her credit card. | Aug 02 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I went straight to the police about that myself. | Aug 02 07:16 |
| Goblin | Thats the best course of action | Aug 02 07:16 |
| Goblin | I think you did the right thing....even if that happened in the UK | Aug 02 07:17 |
| Goblin | US or UK that was a good decision. | Aug 02 07:17 |
| IsambardPrince | The cops took the report but I never heard about it again. | Aug 02 07:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I called Walmart's loss prevention and they said they didn't want any of it back. | Aug 02 07:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I took down the name of the person in LP that I talked to. | Aug 02 07:20 |
| Goblin | always best to do that no matter US or UK | Aug 02 07:21 |
| IsambardPrince | I talked to the police once about an accusation against me. | Aug 02 07:21 |
| IsambardPrince | An ex said that I was stealing his SSDI check out of the mail. I told the cop, "He doesn't get any SSDI checks in the mail. He gets them deposited to his Chase bank account. There's nothing in the mail I could possibly steal. I suggest that you call Social Security's Office of the Inspector General." | Aug 02 07:22 |
| Goblin | I do wonder (and this is the suspicious mind in me) whether this could have been a cause of fraud by the owner of the card......order goods on the card, send them to another address, contact that address and hope the person panicks and either gives them the goods, pays them money for them....in the meantime they have already reported the fraud in the knowledge that below a certain value the crime will not be fully invesigated and just written off.. | Aug 02 07:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It's possible. I told her that I was going to contact the police. | Aug 02 07:26 |
| IsambardPrince | She did not call back. | Aug 02 07:26 |
| Goblin | or they could be using you as an alibi for a bigger fraud..."look here is another fraudulent order on my card" distracting from the big fraud they were doing.. | Aug 02 07:27 |
| IsambardPrince | When someone is about to start throwing accusations around it's best to just go to the police yourself and take a calculated risk that the narrative reads that you were cooperative and came to them first. | Aug 02 07:27 |
| Goblin | yeo | Aug 02 07:27 |
| Goblin | yep | Aug 02 07:27 |
| Goblin | my sgt gave me three pieces advice when I first started..... | Aug 02 07:29 |
| Goblin | 1. The bigger destroyer of a police officers career is ego. | Aug 02 07:29 |
| Goblin | 2. Always speak to people politely as if they were a member of the press because one day they will be. | Aug 02 07:30 |
| Goblin | 3. Beware the anger of a gentle man. | Aug 02 07:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Getting visibly angry at a police officer never helps, even if they are the problem. | Aug 02 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I had one come out and (without witnessing a car accident) write me a ticket under the wrong part of the Vehicle Code. | Aug 02 07:32 |
| IsambardPrince | I had fun with that later. | Aug 02 07:32 |
| IsambardPrince | I didn't tell him at the time because, well, why ruin the surprise? | Aug 02 07:32 |
| Goblin | I think my sgts advice was in relation to the more dangerous person who is the gentle person who has become angry and they pose more of a threat than just an angry person. | Aug 02 07:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, Goblin, I had a fun time planning that defense. | Aug 02 07:33 |
| Goblin | :) | Aug 02 07:33 |
| IsambardPrince | If I had to use it, I was going to cross examine him. | Aug 02 07:33 |
| IsambardPrince | And I was going to read back his report and ask him if that was the report he wrote down and if that's how he alleged it happened. | Aug 02 07:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Because he cited me for illegal left turn, which has its own statute. | Aug 02 07:34 |
| IsambardPrince | But in his report he wrote a diagram and a narrative that I was making a right turn. | Aug 02 07:34 |
| Goblin | When I've got more time I've a funny story and sad story to tell about me assisting a neighbour in a boundary dispute in civil court....it didn't end well. | Aug 02 07:34 |
| Goblin | But your actions are not what Police expect....if more people challenged like you I think we would have a better, fairer system and that applies to both the UK and US. | Aug 02 07:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't respond like they expect on purpose. | Aug 02 07:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Goblin: I had a supervisor at work named Vince who used the Reid Technique on me. | Aug 02 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | I wrote about it a bit. | Aug 02 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | But I had a bunch of "speed hacks" to get incentive pay maxed out at that warehouse. | Aug 02 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | One of them was to gain speed before entering a picking aisle and not flip on drive by wire until I had a full "lock on" tone from the lift. | Aug 02 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | That way the safety program couldn't slow me down because I was already on the wire by the time I flipped it on. | Aug 02 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | And about ten feet into the picking aisle. | Aug 02 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | One night I didn't do this quite right and I hit a safety rail and dented it. | Aug 02 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | I was like "Fuck." and I didn't think anyone saw me so I flipped drive-by-wire on and continued the pick as if nothing had happened. | Aug 02 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | But I prepared for if Vince tracked me down and tried to blame me. | Aug 02 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Later on, he did, and he walked me down the aisle, showed me the dent. | Aug 02 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | He said, "We know you did that.". | Aug 02 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Did you witness me hitting that thing?" No. | Aug 02 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | "Did someone else witness me hitting that thing?" No. | Aug 02 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | "So why do you think it was me?" | Aug 02 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | He points at the ceiling and he says "We have cameras." or something like that. | Aug 02 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And I said, "I don't see any cameras." | Aug 02 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | He goes, "Well you wouldn't, because they're hidden." | Aug 02 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "So you have a video then?" Yes. | Aug 02 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | "Great! Let's go watch it and you can show me if I hit that rail." | Aug 02 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | He said, "I'm not going to show it to you. But I know you did that." and he walked off. | Aug 02 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I never got written up. | Aug 02 07:42 |
| Goblin | lol....so no camera then | Aug 02 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | No cameras. | Aug 02 07:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Invisible or otherwise. | Aug 02 07:43 |
| Goblin | most people would not have held their ground | Aug 02 07:43 |
| Goblin | good on you | Aug 02 07:43 |
| IsambardPrince | You can't do this with the police. | Aug 02 07:43 |
| IsambardPrince | You refuse to answer anything when it's the police. | Aug 02 07:43 |
| IsambardPrince | But Vince was just a middle manager complete with "Bill Lumbergh" suspenders and aviator glasses. | Aug 02 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Goblin: The Supreme Court ruled the police can lie. | Aug 02 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They would just say something like this. | Aug 02 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | "Well, there is a video and it's being processed by our forensics unit right now." | Aug 02 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | "But I can tell you what it shows." | Aug 02 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | So you'll end up getting roped further into a Reid interview where they try to project state omniscience using evidence that they're making up as they go along. | Aug 02 07:45 |
| Goblin | you see if the UK police did that it would be challenged in court.....we don't have to disclose evidence we have but we can't make stuff up. | Aug 02 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't leave that conversation with any actionable intelligence. | Aug 02 07:45 |
| Goblin | sorry not "we" - "they" | Aug 02 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh they'll say there's a video. | Aug 02 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | They'll say it shows you hitting something and driving off. | Aug 02 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | They'll say three people witnessed it and got your license plate. Which is also on the video, | Aug 02 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | They want to rattle you. | Aug 02 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Goblin: The only law Illinois has is one that says the police can't lie to people under 18 during an interview. | Aug 02 07:47 |
| IsambardPrince | If you're 18+ they can still lie to you just like they always could. | Aug 02 07:48 |
| Goblin | oh right......i would expect in the uk a case to be ended if the office claimed evidence they didnt have. | Aug 02 07:48 |
| IsambardPrince | The only reason they passed that law was because the police tried to frame a 15 year old boy for robbing a Dollar General while he was playing a basketball game three counties away in front of hundreds of witnesses, on video. | Aug 02 07:49 |
| IsambardPrince | They even brought him McDonalds and said he could only eat if he confessed. | Aug 02 07:49 |
| Goblin | for me it would be the other way round....ill confess if I dont have to eat it | Aug 02 07:49 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Aug 02 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I'll confess, if they bring me a fried apple pie, some chicken nuggets, and that Mulan sauce from 1998. | Aug 02 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | And an Arch Deluxe. | Aug 02 07:50 |
| Goblin | :) for me it would be the smarty mcflurry... | Aug 02 07:50 |
| Goblin | that was ok. | Aug 02 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I've never seen that one. | Aug 02 07:51 |
| Goblin | maybe its a UK thing | Aug 02 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | There's copycat recipes for the Mulan sauce. | Aug 02 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | They brought it back for a while because of Rick & Morty. | Aug 02 07:51 |
| Goblin | never had that... | Aug 02 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | I make all my own chicken dipping sauces. | Aug 02 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Whenever I cook I do it from scratch, every single step. | Aug 02 07:52 |
| Goblin | Ive got issue 1 of the rick and morty comic | Aug 02 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | My partner brought some of my spaghetti and meatballs over to a 100 year old man the other day. | Aug 02 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | The guy is having 2-3 days in a row sometimes where he doesn't eat much. | Aug 02 07:52 |
| Goblin | now spagetti and meatballs, ill confess for that | Aug 02 07:53 |
| IsambardPrince | He smelled the spaghetti and asked for some and he apparently tore into it. | Aug 02 07:53 |
| Goblin | aw that was nice of you | Aug 02 07:53 |
| Goblin | we did similar for our elderly neighbour....there needs to be more of that in this world. | Aug 02 07:53 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm glad he enjoyed it. I'm going to send some red beans and rice with sausage I made tonight. | Aug 02 07:54 |
| Goblin | the same neighbour who's dog we adopted when she died. | Aug 02 07:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Lots of creole seasoning, chipotle broth, Franks Red Hot. | Aug 02 07:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Apparently this guy likes spicy things. | Aug 02 07:54 |
| IsambardPrince | That spaghetti had a lot of stuff going on. | Aug 02 07:54 |
| Goblin | here spicy is referred to as f*ck off hot, | Aug 02 07:54 |
| Goblin | very spicy is anyway. | Aug 02 07:55 |
| IsambardPrince | I cook a lot of things that are popular in the south. | Aug 02 07:55 |
| IsambardPrince | My grandmother brought that with her and I learned a lot of her recipes. | Aug 02 07:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Not all of them. | Aug 02 07:56 |
| Goblin | :) I wish I could cook, ive been banned from the kitchen | Aug 02 07:56 |
| Goblin | I wash up the wife cooks | Aug 02 07:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm going through a phase now where I'm making baked goods from the Great Depression. | Aug 02 07:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Albeit I cheat a bit. | Aug 02 07:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The cake will be to the recipe, but not necessarily the frosting. | Aug 02 07:57 |
| IsambardPrince | I was told tonight that I should start a small business making baked goods. | Aug 02 07:57 |
| IsambardPrince | The law does allow for that, but I have to register with the health department, take a short food safety class, and put some compliance labels on anything I sell. | Aug 02 07:58 |
| Goblin | American Carrot Cake....now thats the ultimate.....I've never had a UK carrot even half as nice as the one I had in the UK. | Aug 02 07:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Goblin: Don't make carrot cake. | Aug 02 07:58 |
| Goblin | *in the US | Aug 02 07:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Make a tomato soup cake. | Aug 02 07:58 |
| IsambardPrince | With cream cheese frosting. | Aug 02 07:58 |

| IsambardPrince | That makes enough frosting for two cakes, easily. | Aug 02 07:59 |
| Goblin | for years the idea of carrot and cake did not appeal, then I tried it and found I loved it.........carrot cake is sort of a mataphore for life really | Aug 02 07:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Just freeze the other half in an airtight container. | Aug 02 07:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Today I made a chocolate mayonnaise cake with homemade german chocolate frosting. | Aug 02 08:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I always use Duke's mayonnaise whenever something calls for mayo. | Aug 02 08:00 |
| Goblin | lol....now that sounds horrific, but I bet its not. mayo and choc..... | Aug 02 08:01 |
| Goblin | however......I'll be cold in my grave before I'd ever try jellied eels (a UK thing) | Aug 02 08:02 |
| IsambardPrince | The frosting was interesting. I had to do a reduction boil on the stove with a whisk. | Aug 02 08:02 |

| IsambardPrince | There's the frosting you want. | Aug 02 08:03 |
| Goblin | I'll show that to the wife when she wakes up.. | Aug 02 08:03 |
| IsambardPrince | The way I made it, it was very rich and moist cake. | Aug 02 08:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I used "heaping" Tablespoons of baking cocoa though. | Aug 02 08:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Not level. | Aug 02 08:05 |
| IsambardPrince | I figured what's the worst that could happen. More chocolate in a chocolate cake? Is that a problem? :) | Aug 02 08:05 |
| Goblin | the US have a way with cakes thats not often seen in the UK....we need more US cakery here. and no you cant have enough choc imo | Aug 02 08:06 |
| IsambardPrince | How are cakes different there? | Aug 02 08:06 |
| Goblin | I do like my cake which is one of the reasons I can be described as "a man of generous proportions" | Aug 02 08:06 |
| Goblin | US cakes are more moist are sweeter, have more diversity......british cakes and icing (comercial anyway) tend to be low in sugars and salts and all the stuff that makes them good | Aug 02 08:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It's probably some sort of government regulation. | Aug 02 08:08 |
| Goblin | yep | Aug 02 08:08 |
| Goblin | if it tastes good its got to be taxed or removed | Aug 02 08:08 |
| IsambardPrince | They really can't stop you from making it yourself though. | Aug 02 08:09 |
| Goblin | no true. | Aug 02 08:09 |
| Goblin | but in the US you can buy a stunning cake in the shops....here its hit or miss | Aug 02 08:09 |
| Goblin | usually miss | Aug 02 08:10 |
| IsambardPrince | What are they going to do, outlaw the raw ingredients? Send the cops to make sure you're using approved measurements? | Aug 02 08:10 |
| Goblin | lol...don't joke...the way we are going that could be likely. | Aug 02 08:10 |
| Goblin | :) | Aug 02 08:10 |
| Goblin | the Cake Police. | Aug 02 08:11 |
| IsambardPrince | "Armed Police! DO NOT PUT THAT EGG IN THE BATTER! SIR, STEP AWAY FROM THE EGG! HANDS ON YOUR HEAD NOW!!!" | Aug 02 08:11 |
| Goblin | lol | Aug 02 08:11 |
| Goblin | I could be a proffesional witness for the cake prosecution....thats a job I;d like, tasting those cakes for too much sugar and good stuff | Aug 02 08:12 |
| IsambardPrince | "Oh God, these people disgust me!" *eats more* "Yep, just wanted to make sure." | Aug 02 08:12 |
| Goblin | lol | Aug 02 08:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Like the narcotics cop who has to dab his finger in the cocaine four times just to be sure they're not going to waste a test kit. | Aug 02 08:13 |
| Goblin | Ill do the cake version.. | Aug 02 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | He's a good guy, looking out for the state's finances. | Aug 02 08:14 |
| Goblin | its a sacrifice id ve willing to make | Aug 02 08:15 |
| IsambardPrince | I always wondered how the government decides what you get to eat. | Aug 02 08:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Like, we're going to put the government that got us $42 trillion in debt in control of what's allowed in food. | Aug 02 08:17 |
| Goblin | yes especially when for them its a case of them eating whatever they want. | Aug 02 08:17 |
| IsambardPrince | We're going to assume to the government that kept us in Afghanistan for two decades knows whether synthetic food dye is safe. | Aug 02 08:17 |
| IsambardPrince | [02:17] <Goblin> yes especially when for them its a case of them eating whatever they want. | Aug 02 08:17 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a Coronavirus pandemic, you're not going out of your house. All businesses are closed. | Aug 02 08:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Then you find all of them opening restaurants, hair salons, and nail parlors just for themselves, and having house parties. | Aug 02 08:18 |
| Goblin | yeah, covid doesn't affect those in power....and you can't expect THEM to loose their luxuries. | Aug 02 08:19 |
| Goblin | thats for us peasants. | Aug 02 08:19 |
| Goblin | cant have the peasants having nice things, they'll get ideas above their station | Aug 02 08:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I thought that was hysterical when they were bringing Boris Johnson out on a stretcher. | Aug 02 08:20 |
| IsambardPrince | After he was throwing house parties. | Aug 02 08:20 |
| Goblin | They weren't parties according to him.....for a while anyway. | Aug 02 08:20 |
| IsambardPrince | When the Prime Minister gets too loud do the police show up with a noise complaint? | Aug 02 08:21 |
| Goblin | Downing street doesn't effectively have neighbours (all just part of the same machine) but if the music was loud enough to be heard a distance away Id not expect any police action......unless the press got involved. | Aug 02 08:22 |

| IsambardPrince | Roaches are so common in multifamily buildings it's basically the "Chicago apartment special". | Aug 02 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | About all you can do is invest in some preventive treatment stuff and pray your landlord is better than Piyush. | Aug 02 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: The cans of RAID Ant and Roach say it's meant for "direct kill" but that it does have "some residual effect". | Aug 02 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | But it's not even their best product for this. | Aug 02 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | That would be deltamethrin spray which is designed for knockdown treatments with 18 month residual. | Aug 02 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | The spray cans might have some residual effect but they're really meant to be sprayed directly on the insect. The reason they never fix the problem by themselves is even if you blast hundreds of roaches or ants and kill them all, their biology is designed so they can absorb mass casualties and still persist. | Aug 02 22:01 |
