●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Friday, May 09, 2025 ●● ● May 09 [00:00] IsambardPrince Anyone who watches me cook gets dinner and a show, though. [00:00] IsambardPrince I was using a potato masher in the instant pot the other day and my shoulder started hurting again. [00:01] IsambardPrince I was like, "Oh fuck this." and got the hand mixer and shouted "Die motherfucker! Oh you want some? Get some!" [00:01] MinceR lol [00:01] IsambardPrince It's not really that mashing potatoes is hard. It's when you get to the point where you have to add in Boursin cheese and stuff and get it evenly distributed. [00:02] IsambardPrince The guy that did the recipe made it so you cook the meatloaf in a bundt pan on top of the trivet on top of the potatoes at the same time. [00:03] IsambardPrince Which is nice. But he also wanted me to mix the meatloaf ingredients by hand. [00:03] IsambardPrince Which also was not going to happen. [00:04] IsambardPrince You toss the two one pound squares of ground beef in there along with the other stuff, and then use the hand mixer on setting 2 and just keep hitting the beef until it's broken apart and then you dial that thing up to 6 and hold down "BURST". [00:04] IsambardPrince And it'll get it mixed up in about a minute. [00:04] IsambardPrince Then to fling all the loose meatloaf mix from the mixer blades you just lift up so it'll fly off an hit the side of the bowl and run it up to 6 again. [00:05] IsambardPrince Then spray off the blades with water with the sink trap in the drain. [00:06] IsambardPrince Then hose down the bundt with olive oil spray and take a small soup ladle and transfer the meatloaf mix to the pan with that and then smooth it down, pack it evenly, then spray paint a length of aluminum foil and put it over the bundle and crimp the edges, and stab a hole in the middle of the foil so the steam can go through the center of the bundt. [00:07] IsambardPrince Otherwise you're going to have boiling water at the bottom and a "MALFUNCTION" message on the pressure cooker. [00:07] IsambardPrince If you did the potatoes, trivet, and bundt setup right, it should all just barely fit into a 6 qt pot. [00:08] IsambardPrince It costs almost $36 to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes these days. [00:08] IsambardPrince It's horrible. [00:09] IsambardPrince I recall when we made it a few times a month and it was one of the cheapest meals you could make for your family and that's why meatloaf was so popular. [00:09] IsambardPrince It's gotten so bad out there that making dinner at home is almost as bad as using GrubHub. [00:10] IsambardPrince MinceR, I have a chicken casserole I make frequently now. [00:10] IsambardPrince A couple years ago I bought about 50 cans each of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom because it went on sale for 40 cents a can for Thanksgiving. [00:10] IsambardPrince I have about 6-7 of each left I think. It's been "expired" for about a year now. [00:11] IsambardPrince Hasn't killed us. [00:11] IsambardPrince Imagine that. [00:11] IsambardPrince It's almost like the dates on the cans are fake so you throw food you paid for in the trash. [00:11] MinceR or they don't want to get sued in case they get it just a little wrong [00:12] IsambardPrince Anyway, the protein of this meal is just a rotisserie chicken they sell at a loss to get people to come into the store. [00:12] IsambardPrince Then there's mixed veggies, I use Goya, and egg noddles and mayo (Duke's) and a few cheap seasonings, and Ritz crackers (store brand). [00:12] IsambardPrince We can eat for about 3 days off one of these things. [00:13] IsambardPrince some shredded cheese. [00:13] IsambardPrince Like 8-12 ounces. If I have a partial bag I throw an eight ounce bag and the partial in. [00:13] IsambardPrince Otherwise 8 ounces is fine. [00:13] IsambardPrince I try not to waste anything. [00:14] IsambardPrince I even cut toothpaste tubes open when they're "empty". [00:14] IsambardPrince It turns out there's enough hiding in each one to brush my teeth for another week. [00:16] IsambardPrince When you can't get anymore liquid hand soap to come out of the bottle but you know there's some in there, I grab a washcloth (since I'm in the shower anyway) and shake some water around in there to gather the soap, and pour that onto the cloth before opening a new bottle. [00:16] MinceR i pour it on my hand [00:16] IsambardPrince People who survived the great depression got like this. [00:16] IsambardPrince Nothing goes to waste. [00:17] MinceR though if we have a refill, i can just refill on top of what remains in the bottle [00:17] MinceR (preferably with the same flavor) [00:17] IsambardPrince Yeah, you can prop up the old bottle without the cap on against the wall or something and have it slowly drip into the new one. It'll take hours but then you can just walk off and come back. [00:18] MinceR i mean the refill that comes in a bag [00:18] IsambardPrince I do that with jugs of motor oil too, to get out that last couple ounces that just doesn't want to come out when I'm topping off the engine. [00:18] MinceR and one just squeezes it into the empty bottle [00:19] IsambardPrince MinceR, I got some off brand cabin air filters for my car. They fit the rectangular hole, but you can't get them in there. [00:19] IsambardPrince Then I noticed how you can make them go in. [00:19] IsambardPrince The OE part has a small slit cut into the side of the paper over 6 pleats or so, which makes it bend to go into the housing. [00:19] IsambardPrince They didn't do that on the cheap ones from China. [00:20] IsambardPrince So I take scissors and cut out the same size slits into the pleats on the off brand. [00:20] IsambardPrince The OE filters are like $10-11 each and the off brand ones are like $2. [00:21] *SomeGoat has quit (connection closed) [00:21] IsambardPrince You never get much better than the filtering of large trash and coarse particles out of any of these filters. [00:22] IsambardPrince None of them are up to HEPA standard and the ones that claim to be just block off your air vent and blow out the blower motor.

[01:16] IsambardPrince I think one of his brothers lasted until the early 2010s. [01:17] IsambardPrince A lot of high ranking Nazis including Deputy Fhrer Rudolph Hess were still alive during my lifetime. [01:33] IsambardPrince He stayed alive in Spandau Prison for decades and then killed himself. [01:34] IsambardPrince They had to tear down the prison and not renew the lease on his grave, because both were becoming shrines for Nazis to visit. [01:34] IsambardPrince I suppose the fact that Hess tried to sell out the Nazi government to the British was lost on them? [01:35] IsambardPrince Hess didn't hang because he wasn't particularly connected to the worst of the crimes, like the Holocaust. [01:35] IsambardPrince But he still did get life in prison. [01:36] IsambardPrince They tried to sentence the chairman of the central bank to death too, but ended up just giving him a few years, and compassionate release due to health problems. [01:36] IsambardPrince They declared that the People's Court judges had immunity because they were "just following the laws". [01:37] IsambardPrince But Roland Freisler didn't escape because an American bomb fell on the People's Court and killed him. (Crushed to death under part of the building that fell on top of him.) [01:37] IsambardPrince Nice shot.

[02:56] IsambardPrince Every Illinoisan deserves dignity, privacy, and the freedom to live without fear of surveillance or discrimination, Pritzker said in a statement. As Donald Trump and DOGE threaten these freedoms, we are taking steps to ensure that our state remains a leader in protecting the rights of individuals with autism and all people with disabilities. [02:56] IsambardPrince --- [02:56] IsambardPrince Kennedy angered many with autism, and their loved ones, when he called it a preventable disease and an epidemic. The National Institute of Mental Health calls it a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how many people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. [02:57] IsambardPrince He also called autism a tragedy that destroys families. [02:57] IsambardPrince These are kids who will never pay taxes, theyll never hold a job, theyll never play baseball, theyll never write a poem, theyll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use the toilet unassisted, Kennedy said at an April press conference. He later clarified that he was referring to people with profound autism.

Probably less than Windows does, because Apple is more aggressive about killing support for outdated versions of MacOS in XCode then making sure you can't run old versions of XCode to compile new software for old Macs anyway. [03:23] IsambardPrince So developing for an old Mac means you need to have an old Mac.

[03:26] IsambardPrince The only "security" was that probably nobody was going to target Classic Mac for obvious reasons and turning JavaScript on was very dangerous anyway because it was more likely to crash the browser than do anything useful.

[07:08] schestowitz[TR2] like nazis did with fanta? [07:08] schestowitz[TR2] as they lacked the coke syrup? [07:08] IsambardPrince The UK is like 2% of our imports and 4% of exports. [07:08] schestowitz[TR2] due to sanctions? [07:08] IsambardPrince It's relatively unimportant to our trade situation. [07:08] IsambardPrince Aside from a few things. [07:10] IsambardPrince Even if there really is a deal with the UK based on this framework, not much will change. [07:10] IsambardPrince They're another broke country with high unemployment and public debt. [07:10] IsambardPrince That doesn't produce much. [07:10] IsambardPrince Just a much smaller one.

[07:14] schestowitz[TR2] that is, [07:14] schestowitz[TR2] what you define as not super rich [07:14] schestowitz[TR2] and not super poor [07:14] schestowitz[TR2] many are not forced to pay student loans [07:14] schestowitz[TR2] they cannot [07:14] schestowitz[TR2] they will default [07:14] schestowitz[TR2] then whatr>? [07:14] schestowitz[TR2] debt prisons? [07:14] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], When you see the bottom 20% buying weed and booze and smokes and lotto scratchers... [07:15] IsambardPrince You start to wonder. [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] no [07:15] IsambardPrince How much food and rent and stuff are they spending on this? [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] you wonder WHY [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] what came first? [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] the poverty? [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] or the drugs? [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] same here [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] to some people, the last thing left is cheating the brain [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] because all else is lost [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] many businesses her liquidate this year [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] LOADS [07:15] schestowitz[TR2] they are in debt [07:16] schestowitz[TR2] and they are told no good is ahead [07:16] schestowitz[TR2] wso what's the point going on? [07:16] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I never buy cigarettes. [07:16] IsambardPrince Or weed. [07:16] IsambardPrince A bit of cooking wine I guess. [07:16] IsambardPrince No lotto scratchers. [07:16] IsambardPrince I had to explain to Mandy how dumb the lottery is. [07:16] IsambardPrince It's a guaranteed way to lose money. [07:17] IsambardPrince They publicize the crap out of the one person in America that wins it in the past few months. [07:17] IsambardPrince And never how many millions lost the money, on multiple losing tickets. [07:17] IsambardPrince And can't go to the doctor now, or pay the landlord. [07:17] IsambardPrince Or put a chicken in the oven. [07:18] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], One of mom's church friends had me do their tax return. [07:18] IsambardPrince I'm sorry I said yes. [07:18] IsambardPrince They're doing all the things you can do wrong to lose with money and end up donating money to the IRS. [07:19] IsambardPrince And the woman took out a loan against their house, and is getting herself allergy shots with it, so she can eat ice cream. [07:19] IsambardPrince While her husband who just had a stroke is dying. [07:19] IsambardPrince He MAY live another 1-3 years. Maybe. [07:20] IsambardPrince And the woman is just going "La dee da I'll just empty my retirement account early and pay penalty tax and HEL the house so I can have ice cream!" [07:20] IsambardPrince Might it be prudent to just not have ice cream? [07:20] schestowitz[TR2] haha [07:21] IsambardPrince She ended up having to spend $600 of the loan against the house to pay the money she owed as a penalty to the IRS for taking retirement money at 53. [07:21] IsambardPrince And her husband has plenty of money in his account and is in his early 70s. [07:22] IsambardPrince I don't know what she's doing and it's really not my business, but this is just insane. [07:24] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Then I told my mom to just not work and be happy with what she's got. [07:24] IsambardPrince Because the more she makes over a certain figure the more of her Social Security is subject to tax, whereas none of it will be if she doesn't work. [07:24] IsambardPrince She asked who signed that law. [07:24] IsambardPrince I said "Ronald Reagan". [07:25] IsambardPrince "La dee da, Carl told me to vote for Ronald Reagan what's the worst that could happen?" [07:26] IsambardPrince Oh I don't know. An Earnings Threshold that hasn't increased since 1982 maybe. [07:26] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], What's even better is there exists in the tax code a tax credit for the seniors and disabled. [07:26] IsambardPrince That nobody can actually qualify for. [07:26] IsambardPrince Because if you earn so little that you get it, you wouldn't owe taxes anyway. [07:27] IsambardPrince Because the maximum you can earn is lower than the standard deduction. [07:27] IsambardPrince But tax software still fills out the worksheet if you ask it to. [07:27] IsambardPrince So I always fill out the worksheet. [07:27] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [07:28] IsambardPrince It's not illegal to affix a worksheet that tells the IRS you don't get a credit.

[21:06] IsambardPrince So the unreliable testimony came from everyone including himself. [21:07] IsambardPrince Who was it that called Glen Larson "Glen Larceny" because he stole so many stories then adapted them all for TV without crediting anyone? [21:07] IsambardPrince "Despite his success, much criticism has been aimed at Larson for his perceived general lack of originality as many of his television series are seen as small screen "knock-offs" of feature films. Harlan Ellison once referred to him as "Glen Larceny" for the similarities between Larson's shows and cinema blockbusters." [21:08] IsambardPrince "In his autobiography, The Garner Files, James Garner claimed that Larson stole a number of plots of The Rockford Files (which Garner's production company co-produced), then used them for his own shows, simply changing the dialogue minimally and using different character names. Garner's group complained to the Writer's Guild; Larson was fined, and an episode of Larson's series Switch, "Death by Resurrection", had the writing credits [21:08] IsambardPrince revised to give sole credit to the writers of the Rockford Files episode "This Case Is Closed", as it was the basis of the Switch episode. Nevertheless, Garner felt that the fine had taught Larson nothing when he persisted, including copying the theme music from The Rockford Files for one of his shows. Garner stated that when Larson subsequently showed up on the Rockford set, he put his arm around Garner and said: "I hope there are [21:08] IsambardPrince no hard feelings, Jim." After Larson ignored a warning by Garner to take his arm off him, Garner claimed to have punched Larson so hard that Larson "flew across the curb, into a motor home, and out the other side."" [21:09] IsambardPrince --- [21:09] IsambardPrince Plagiarism is hardly a new problem. [21:09] IsambardPrince But now it can be automated. [21:09] IsambardPrince Stealing something so shamelessly and nakedly and calling it your own, you know. Despicable. [21:10] IsambardPrince I mean, if you contact the person who made the original work and say "I would like to copy some of the concepts for my story." and they say okay, that's one thing, if they ask for royalties or attribution, that's okay. [21:10] IsambardPrince Taking something, stripping their name off it, and changing it 2% and calling it yours. Not okay. [21:11] IsambardPrince Borrowing consciously and outright theft are two different things. [21:11] IsambardPrince And so A Fistful of Dollars was plagiarism right? [21:11] IsambardPrince I watched Yojimbo and then A Fistful of Dollars back-to-back so I could note the differences. [21:13] IsambardPrince The names of the characters are different, Fistful takes place in Mexico not Japan, Clint Eastwood not Toshiro Mifune, the scene at the cemetery where Clint Eastwood tricks them into shooting at corpses was different of course. [21:13] IsambardPrince But no major differences. It was stolen, there was no attribution. [21:13] IsambardPrince In Yojimbo, there was only one person with a gun (one of the bad guys). [21:14] IsambardPrince And Sanjuro (Toshiro Mifune) stops him during the final showdown by quickly throwing a knife and disabling his arm then killing him with a sword. [21:14] IsambardPrince MinceR, The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand! [21:14] IsambardPrince :D [21:15] MinceR :> [21:15] IsambardPrince And then in Fistful, Clint Eastwood deals with the guy by being shot several times, but he doesn't die because he's improvised a bulletproof vest out of a piece of an oven. [21:15] IsambardPrince So that was different I guess. [21:16] IsambardPrince I liked in Seven Samurai how only like (I think) 4-5 of the bad guys (40 men) had rifles. [21:16] IsambardPrince So the Samurai did a quick count and then made an effort to take them out first and steal the rifles and bullets. [21:16] IsambardPrince :) [21:17] IsambardPrince Prioritizing the greatest threat. Eliminate the threat. Steal their weapons and shoot back at the rest. [21:18] IsambardPrince The first bandit was a freebie. He wandered too close to the fence and got taken out with an arrow. [21:19] IsambardPrince In the end they liberate the village but they don't get much for their troubles except a couple of the Samurai get killed in the fighting. [21:20] IsambardPrince I usually prioritize lesser threats first in Final Fantasy. [21:21] IsambardPrince The battles run very slowly when it's a bunch of stupid shit on the board that doesn't do much damage but they all get a turn.

But it was a Venus probe so it was designed to withstand re-entry to Venus and to come down on the surface and gather data, at least until it was destroyed a few hours later by atmospheric density. [21:38] IsambardPrince So it's been in Earth orbit for over 50 years now and they figure it will come down on Saturday at some time, and survive re-entry because Earth's atmosphere is pretty wimpy compared to Venus. [21:39] IsambardPrince The parachute won't deploy so its trajectory will be ballistic. [21:39] IsambardPrince And it *could* land on top of someone. [21:39] IsambardPrince 1 in 21,000 chance it lands on someone and kills them. [21:40] MinceR so, 1 in 53846 chance it lands on a ruscist asshole [21:40] MinceR not nearly good enough [21:41] IsambardPrince Well, a lot of the places it could come down on are the ocean. [21:41] IsambardPrince Most of Canada and Russia are actually safe. [21:41] IsambardPrince Because its orbit doesn't allow for it to come down in about 2/3rds of either country.

[21:57] IsambardPrince The sanction for that was a referral for Apple to be criminally prosecuted. [21:57] IsambardPrince And the order went into effect immediately for them to stop. ● May 09 [22:03] admfubar just like m$ is a malicious insider??? https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/ai-agents-fail-novel-put-businesses-at-risk [22:03] TR Bot ( status 403 @ https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/ai-agents-fail-novel-put-businesses-at-risk ) [22:04] IsambardPrince El articulo es demasiado grande para su apartado.

It's called CLEAR. [23:06] IsambardPrince AmEx cards pay for it sometimes. [23:06] IsambardPrince Gold doesn't, but Green and Platinum do. [23:07] IsambardPrince MinceR, So I have been going through expired cans of soup to make casseroles and stuff with. [23:08] IsambardPrince I cracked open a cream of chicken that's not that far past (only about 7 months). [23:08] IsambardPrince So air rushed into the can and I said "That one had a good seal." Then I heard, "EEEEeeee" and I was like "I've never heard canned soup do that." and it was one of my cats that had walked up behind me. [23:09] MinceR lol [23:26] IsambardPrince I'd say that without the invasion of America, the Catholic church would have collapsed here already. [23:26] IsambardPrince They need immigrants from countries where the education system is so fucked they're all Catholic and they actually take that shit seriously. [23:26] IsambardPrince The election of an American as Pope is indicative that they realize how much trouble they're in here. [23:27] IsambardPrince You know, every time a Catholic church empties out in America and causes a traffic jam, you hardly see white people anymore. [23:27] MinceR are the protestants doing so well there? [23:27] IsambardPrince Better than the Catholics are. [23:28] IsambardPrince https://www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-voices/growth-and-decline-us-catholic-church [23:28] TR Bot ( status 403 @ https://www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-voices/growth-and-decline-us-catholic-church ) [23:28] IsambardPrince "There is no more pressing challenge facing the Catholic Church in this country than helping our Latino, Caribbean, African, Asian and European Catholic immigrants not assimilate into the mainstream, secular culture." [23:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, They admit they're bum rushing our country with illegal aliens and then encouraging them not to assimilate into our culture. [23:29] MinceR it would be nice if mainstream culture was secular [23:29] IsambardPrince And they're using stoopid leftists to help them do it. [23:29] IsambardPrince Because they know they're a bunch of fools and chumps. [23:29] MinceR but the fact that the foaming-at-the-mouth christian fundamentalists not only won, but also won the popular vote seems to show otherwise [23:30] IsambardPrince A lot of atheists voted for Trump. [23:30] IsambardPrince Atheism is big in Alaska. [23:30] IsambardPrince There's more atheists than will admit to it. [23:30] MinceR i was about to ask "what the fuck where they thinking?" but obviously the answer is "nothing" [23:31] IsambardPrince It's one of those things where there's no official punishment for it, but there's things that will start happening that makes your life harder. [23:31] IsambardPrince Christians and even Jews will trust a damned Muslim, polls show, before an atheist. [23:31] IsambardPrince Even though Islam is a nasty terrorist religion. [23:31] MinceR those "atheists" get to enjoy having the federal state force christianity on them, then. [23:31] IsambardPrince Probably the worst thing anyone could be. [23:32] MinceR and so do the jews and the muslims [23:32] MinceR afaict all abrahamic religions are nasty terrorist religions [23:33] IsambardPrince Brandon Lobster misused the word "Nazi" to describe me. I don't think trannies should be in prison or killed or anything. It's just weird and I don't like seeing it. [23:33] IsambardPrince You don't make people change their minds by acting like this. [23:33] IsambardPrince You might trigger blowback though. [23:34] IsambardPrince A lot of people didn't like trannies and illegal aliens floating around openly and the government censoring people. [23:34] IsambardPrince And so they abandoned the Democrats. [23:34] MinceR and now they're paying for that [23:34] MinceR literally. [23:34] IsambardPrince Illegal aliens don't really have any right to be here. [23:35] IsambardPrince The fact that the government didn't do anything about it for a week or 50 years makes no difference to that. [23:35] IsambardPrince It could have found, arrested, and deported them at any time and chose not to. [23:35] MinceR yes, that's what "illegal alien" means [23:36] IsambardPrince It helps your cause if you don't commit crimes and bring unwanted attention like many of them do. [23:36] IsambardPrince So most of them have themselves to blame. [23:36] MinceR so, how's the "solution" working out for you? [23:36] IsambardPrince 9 times out of 10, ICE won't even know you are here if you're not breaking the law, getting arrested, and being fingerprinted. [23:37] IsambardPrince Then they know you're here. [23:37] IsambardPrince Well what tends to happen is this. [23:37] IsambardPrince They have fingerprints of most everyone who has entered the US officially in some way at least once. [23:38] IsambardPrince But if that's the last time they saw you, they don't necessarily know where you are now. [23:38] IsambardPrince When you get arrested, they fingerprint you and send that to the FBI. [23:38] IsambardPrince Now ICE knows where you are. [23:39] IsambardPrince They also track immigrants on their non-detained docket through social media, and mobile phone networks. [23:39] IsambardPrince So if you're in the country illegally, don't use a smartphone. [23:39] IsambardPrince Don't use any social media. [23:39] IsambardPrince Don't get arrested. [23:40] IsambardPrince If you're working illegally, try to do that at a small business that's not worth their time to raid or check because they won't get like 1,000 of you by circling the place and telling you to come out. [23:42] IsambardPrince ICE almost never actually raids businesses that only employ a handful of people. [23:42] IsambardPrince They like to make the news so they go hit a meat packing plant and announce they got 700 or something.
