It worked fine for many years. [11:31] DaemonFC So obviously they got a good deal on that. [11:32] DaemonFC That was back when people still took their vacuum to the repair shop if it broke down, and when the thing worked so wall that you could look at the carpet and see where you'd been already. [11:32] DaemonFC *well [11:32] DaemonFC Today you get a vacuum cleaner and it's all shitty and made in China most of the time. [11:33] DaemonFC If anything happens to it, you throw the whole machine in a dumpster. Mom got a $700 vacuum that broke down and then threw it out a year later when it broke down. [11:35] DaemonFC I asked her if she spent $700 on the vacuum why she didn't take it to the vacuum repair shop and she said "The guy wanted $100 to look at it and tell me what was wrong, and that was before he fixed it and it's not a car! The guy I go to church with said the $50 vacuum I replaced it with could break down and go in the trash every year and I still wouldn't be out $700 for the vacuum!". [11:35] DaemonFC I said, "The $100 is usually a diagnostic fee and sometimes you get it back if you have them repair it. They just don't want you wasting their time if you're not going to get it repaired there. It may have only been a broken belt, which is like $10.". [11:36] DaemonFC Oh, $700 vacuum in the trash without even looking at it. [11:36] DaemonFC Now she can't afford to just pick up and move out on this bastard of a landlord she has. [11:39] DaemonFC Typical boomer. "Oh this guy wants to be paid for his work. I'll just chuck it and spend more money on another one that'll break down!". [11:40] DaemonFC Boomers tend to be horrible with finances and in a lot of debt all the time for stupid reasons. [11:41] DaemonFC That woman she worked with gave her 2012 Chevy Malibu as a trade-in for $2,000 on the suspicion there might be something wrong with the transmission, without even getting a quote for the work, or a diagnostic. [11:42] DaemonFC She spent $12,000 on a 2011 Ford Mustang from the same shop, which told her it needed a "timing chain" that they put in, and the engine blew up on her on the way home. [11:42] DaemonFC Now she has no car at all and a $12,000 Mustang that needs a $5,000 used engine. [11:50] schestowitz_TR2 PB is still around?

[12:12] DaemonFC So the box that a box fan came in got damaged. [12:12] DaemonFC As long as the fan works, why wouldn't I want to pay 15% less for the fan? [12:14] DaemonFC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J9J396N [12:14] TR Bot Molekule Air Pro FDA-Cleared Medical Air Purifier with PECO Technology for Smoke, Allergens, Pollutants, Viruses, Bacteria and Mold in Professional Spaces : Home & Kitchen [12:14] DaemonFC Claims to scrub CO2 out of the air. [12:14] DaemonFC LOL [12:14] DaemonFC Unless you're an astronaut, not having a CO2 scrubber is rarely an issue. [12:16] DaemonFC schestowitz_TR2, Mom asked me what I use in the livingroom. I told her "a fan with a furnace filter strapped to it and sealed in with tape". [12:16] DaemonFC She goes, "And that works?". I said, "Well, it's not quite HEPA, but it doesn't cost much. It's literally a $20 box fan and a $10 filter you have to change a few times a year.". [12:17] DaemonFC Just get the cheapest box fan that moves air around because even on the low setting, this thing can maintain the air quality of a room. You're not buying it to move a shitload of air and keep you comfortable so it doesn't have to be a performance model fan. It just has to move plenty of air through the filter. [12:18] DaemonFC With no air purifier in my living room I can see dirt floating around in the air. It's so bad it looks like glitter if I turn on my phone camera and make a video. [12:18] DaemonFC But the fan+furnace filter gets rid of all of that. [12:19] DaemonFC MinceR said fans don't work. They work, until they don't. [12:20] DaemonFC Obviously the hotter it gets, the less they work to keep you cool, until there's no point running it and you need to turn on the air conditioning. [12:20] DaemonFC But if it's just mildly to moderately uncomfortable, getting some air on you can relieve that. [12:22] DaemonFC Do they save you money? Well, where I live, there's about 40 days out of the Summer where air conditioning is not really necessary, but you do want some air on you. If you have no fan and turn the air conditioner on, it'll add $2-3 per day, so if you used the fan instead, it will pay for itself in 10 days, and then you'd still have the fan next year. [12:23] DaemonFC Fans can also help the air conditioner cool you down better, so you don't have to turn it down as much to achieve the same cooling effect. [12:23] DaemonFC The US Department of Energy has some interesting guidance on the air conditioner. [12:23] DaemonFC They suggest keeping it at 78 while you're awake and 82 at night. [12:23] DaemonFC I don't know about anyone else, but if it's 82 in my bedroom I can't sleep and I'm going to be madder than hell. [12:24] DaemonFC They also recommended a smart thermostat. The electric company pays you to buy a Nest. [12:24] DaemonFC schestowitz_TR2, ^ [12:24] schestowitz_TR2 sorry, hang opn.. [12:24] schestowitz_TR2 I'm GIMPing something [12:25] DaemonFC I laughed pretty hard at that. I know when I'll be gone all day and can flip the air conditioner off. [12:25] DaemonFC It doesn't need to have a connection to my phone for that. It has an OFF switch. [12:25] schestowitz_TR2 it's BS [12:25] schestowitz_TR2 all those spying devices [12:25] schestowitz_TR2 they use up power [12:25] schestowitz_TR2 so you pay more [12:26] schestowitz_TR2 and they tell them a lot about you [12:26] schestowitz_TR2 it tells you very little that you didn't not aalready know [12:26] DaemonFC They already know a lot from smart meters. [12:26] schestowitz_TR2 "oh really? I didn't need this shitty gadget to tell me my PC is on" [12:26] DaemonFC But this tells them exactly what you're doing.

[12:27] DaemonFC The Party would feel better about someone that can do two back to back terms. [12:28] DaemonFC Vice Presidents don't have a good track record of being elected after the president's term is done. [12:28] DaemonFC Sometimes it happens with coattails, like George H.W Bush. [12:29] DaemonFC Sometimes the president dies in office and the VP goes on to win a full term. [12:29] DaemonFC But trying to get elected after just being the VP for 8 years is not easy.

[12:43] DaemonFC I still think Trump would lose if he came back. [12:43] DaemonFC Most people don't like Biden, but they like Trump less. [12:48] DaemonFC If they're still talking about gun control and abortion on election day, and the economy is bad, they're going to lose a lot of seats in Congress. [12:48] DaemonFC But most presidents lose a lot of seats in Congress, but then the voters are satisfied that they can't really do much anymore and give the president whose policies they just repudiated another term. [12:49] DaemonFC So I think Biden will hang in there, but I also think we're looking at the biggest Republican majority in Congress since Gingrich's strategy against Bill Clinton in 1994 and 1996. [12:49] DaemonFC The same thing basically happened to Bush, Obama, and Trump. [12:49] DaemonFC So it's not like it's unique.

[12:51] DaemonFC Most Americans are not terribly fond of abortion or gun control, but they keep rigging the polls to make it sound like people back the Democrats, and most people do not. [12:52] DaemonFC Only the most corrupt reprobate mind out there could possibly support totally unrestricted abortion.

[22:30] DaemonFC I have no use for DRM and don't use it. [22:30] DaemonFC There was also a standard for analog audio over a DVI-D cable.

Under decent connections, you'll have pretty good audio quality out of it. [23:49] DaemonFC SBC @ 384k is like, oh, MP3 @ 128k. It's not a good way to stream, especially since what you're streaming is probably already lossy encoded anyway. [23:50] DaemonFC schestowitz_TR2, I likened using SBC and Bluetooth to converting a WMA file to MP3 because Microsoft had another music store fail and it was the only way to keep your music (with the intermediate step being burn a CD you don't even want and kill the planet). [23:50] DaemonFC But it's generational loss. [23:50] DaemonFC It's like encoding a JPEG to a really low quality second JPEG. [23:50] DaemonFC You can do it. It won't look good.
