DaemonFCSo I'm actually glad that electric prices have been politicized.Aug 09 17:30
DaemonFCOtherwise those might have gone up 20% like meat or something.Aug 09 17:31
DaemonFCIf they enact this vehicle miles tax, then we're going to go down to Springfield and skin these people alive.Aug 09 17:31
DaemonFCThey won't need to worry about an election next year.Aug 09 17:31
DaemonFCThey already doubled the per-gallon tax. If they do VMT on gasoline vehicles too, then fuck them to death!Aug 09 17:32
DaemonFCThat's my opinion on VMT. They should do VMT or a very expensive electric vehicle plate tax, on EVs only.Aug 09 17:32
MinceRlolAug 09 17:32
DaemonFCThey aren't trying to spin this as a CARBON BAD!!! CARBON BAAAAD! tax.Aug 09 17:33
DaemonFCThey say more efficient vehicles, which they mandated, are tearing up the roads and freeloading.Aug 09 17:34
DaemonFCSo the best way to handle that would be to charge a tax on registration that is based on how many mpg equivalent your car gets per the EPA, which posts this.Aug 09 17:34
DaemonFCFor example, on a 2003 Impala, I should pay 2/3rds of the tax that a 2018 Kia Soul+ should pay, and about half of what a Tesla owner does.Aug 09 17:35
DaemonFCMinceR, Since I already have insurance tracking my miles to bill me for what I use, I finally decided to plot the most efficient course to take Mandy to work.Aug 09 17:35
DaemonFCI managed to reduce the mileage by 12.4% by asking Waze for all of the options available on how to get there.Aug 09 17:36
DaemonFCThen I pulled up a calculator. Turns out that I only save $20 on insurance over the year by doing this, but I save $115 on gasoline.Aug 09 17:36
MinceRi wonder when will politicians realize that even BEVs cause emissionsAug 09 17:36
DaemonFCAt least in theory. So I took each route and times average speed and number of stop lights.Aug 09 17:37
DaemonFCThey're pretty similar, so the lower mileage route would seem to be more fuel efficient.Aug 09 17:37
DaemonFCI'll track how much gas I put in my car the next few weeks.Aug 09 17:37

DaemonFCPlot errands that are along the same route.Aug 09 17:42
DaemonFCNot drive like a maniac on the freeway. Things like that.Aug 09 17:42
DaemonFCI noticed along the freeway you can get up to 34 miles per gallon at 55 miles per hour and as little as 25 miles per gallon at 85.Aug 09 17:43
DaemonFCI've never had a car where the fuel mileage was this far apart between city and highway.Aug 09 17:44
DaemonFCEvery car does have its optimal fuel mileage. It seems that this car, on the highway, starts dropping at 62 miles per hour, and quite noticeably after 66 miles per hour.Aug 09 17:45
DaemonFCAfter about 72 miles per hour, it starts dropping off steeply.Aug 09 17:45
DaemonFCSo I try not to exceed 70 unless I simply have to cover a lot of ground in a short time.Aug 09 17:46
DaemonFCWith this traffic court thing already pending, I may not want to exceed 60 even on the freeway.Aug 09 17:47
DaemonFCAll I need is a second strike on my license before I even clear this up.Aug 09 17:47
DaemonFCI don't know how court works in other countries, but here, the prosecutor takes his turn and tries to throw all the shit he can at you in order to offer a very bad plea bargain.Aug 09 17:48
DaemonFCIf he can say "Oh, you got caught speeding and have court down in Cook County?", then what I'm already going in for is going to be so much worse.Aug 09 17:48
DaemonFCIt's more worth it for people to plead guilty and take supervision if they're already in danger of losing their license. I have less reason to do so because I still have the full three convictions in a year before they can take mine.Aug 09 17:50
DaemonFCI can sink one as long as nothing else happens for a while. Therefore, I can go to court and take my chances.Aug 09 17:50
DaemonFCSo it functions as a reward for shitty drivers who are in court all the time.Aug 09 17:50
DaemonFCMinceR, Or "justice" as I like to call it. :)Aug 09 17:50
DaemonFC"You know the thing. Just pay us money and we won't sic the insurance people on you. Next!"Aug 09 17:51
DaemonFCMinceR, Part of me wants to rip up the ticket and mail it back to the police department if I beat it.Aug 09 17:54
DaemonFCBut the other part says leave it alone.Aug 09 17:54
DaemonFCSure they're assholes, but if they remember you and that they don't like you, they'll make a point that bad things happen to you every time they see you.Aug 09 17:55

DaemonFCYesterday, they just murdered one and the other is in the hospital and it's 50/50 that they ever get out, and this happens more and more.Aug 09 17:58
DaemonFCThanks to Lightfoot, Foxx, and Pritzker, they know they can get away with anything now.Aug 09 17:58
DaemonFCThe Big Black Cauc(us) bills to repeal the justice system in Illinois that Jabba the Pritzker has been signing surely haven't helped, even though the worst of it has yet to take effect.Aug 09 17:59
DaemonFCI actually agree with the proposal to make credit scoring illegal on car insurance. Not because it's "racist". People have bad credit because they didn't pay their bills. Because it has nothing to do with car insurance except that black people will respond to $350 a month PLPD by not having insurance at all and then the problem rebounds on everyone else.Aug 09 18:00
DaemonFCAs both higher premiums and having to buy uninsured motorist riders that cost more.Aug 09 18:01
DaemonFCIf you're already on the run from child support, landlords, payday loan companies, and some open warrants, what's car insurance at that point?Aug 09 18:02
DaemonFCMaybe they'll repeal child support next. After all, it takes a village to raise an idiot. Why expect the dad to pay some of the bills?Aug 09 18:03

DaemonFC"Obviously something has changed. The likely explanation is that people were driving faster during & after the pandemic."Aug 09 18:06
DaemonFCWell, thanks to Jabba the Pritzker repealing our criminal justice system, it's harder for the courts to enforce their rulings even if they want to. You can get traffic court fines now and never lose your license even if you don't pay. How do you like that? Of course, that would just be one guess."Aug 09 18:06

CrystalMathand that makes techrights stink so badAug 09 18:29

Ariadneit's quite funny, because this is a tactic invented by RMS himselfAug 09 18:31
DaemonFCMany of them negotiate harder for what's good for them than what's good for the employees they claim to represent.Aug 09 18:32
CrystalMathAriadne: oh i don't, but your extension to associates (and associates of associates) is what i'm pointing outAug 09 18:32
DaemonFCWalmart is non-union and the employee compensation is better than jewel-osco, which has a union and a contract, and dues coming out of your check every week.Aug 09 18:32

DaemonFCThe unions haven't managed to bargain for better working conditions at jewel. In fact, a higher percentage of jewel employees are part time, which makes it even harder to use the job to pay for your life expenses.Aug 09 18:33
AriadneCrystalMath: i mean, i don't think it is surprising that the IRC equivalent to the FSF refuses to provide support to a person who took over 700+ channels and shut them downAug 09 18:33
DaemonFCFrito-Lay isn't budging on their contract offer.Aug 09 18:34
CrystalMathAriadne: lol "IRC equivalent to the FSF"Aug 09 18:34
Ariadnei also do not think it is surprising that others who have a nexus with that person would fall into the embargo too.Aug 09 18:34
DaemonFCIncreasingly, the unions just take your money and make endless concessions.Aug 09 18:34
CrystalMathyeah the FSF is known for embargoes, is it?Aug 09 18:34
DaemonFCAt that point, you're getting whatever the employer feels like giving you anyway, so why have the union?Aug 09 18:34
MinceRthe FSF is known for bending over for its enemies latelyAug 09 18:34
AriadneCrystalMath: they have embargoed features in GNU software before until such time that GNU/Linux had feature parity.Aug 09 18:34

MinceRjust don't expect them to do anything worthwhileAug 09 18:35
DaemonFCThose unions for grocery store workers "bargained" for how many years in Illinois, without raising the wage to $15?Aug 09 18:35
DaemonFCOne law and now they have to pay at least $15.Aug 09 18:35
CrystalMathalso the IRC equivalent of the FSF doesn't understand free software, and even outright opposes it by attacking RMSAug 09 18:35
Ariadneatheme has never commented on RMSAug 09 18:36
DaemonFCI refuse to shop at Kroger or Jewel/Albertsons.Aug 09 18:36
CrystalMathits members attack RMS on twitterAug 09 18:36
CrystalMaththis is the IRC equivalent of the SFC, reallyAug 09 18:36
Ariadneits members have freedom of speech, and are allowed to say what they wishAug 09 18:36
DaemonFCThey were both gloating about raising prices on groceries WAAAAAY higher than inflation required them to.Aug 09 18:36
DaemonFCTo get "better margins". They know people will get pissed and blame the entire thing on Biden.Aug 09 18:36
CrystalMathand the SFC is full of horrible garbage people that should never be listened toAug 09 18:36
DaemonFCSo if they only need to raise prices 4%, they raise them 8%.Aug 09 18:36
DaemonFCThen brag at investor meetings.Aug 09 18:37
Ariadneyou're just mad that freenode staff have to make decisions about whether to stay affiliated with freenodeAug 09 18:37
DaemonFCIt fucking pisses me off, honestly, that we're out here busting our humps just trying to make ends meet and those fucking grocery store CEOs are gloating about this.Aug 09 18:37
CrystalMathAriadne: the people you were talking to aren't so strongly affiliated anymoreAug 09 18:37
CrystalMathi mean, it's kinda hard to beAug 09 18:37
DaemonFCGratuitous and unnecessary price hikes.Aug 09 18:38
Ariadnethe person i was talking about, Foxy, is still known to be a staffer and thus remains on the embargo list.Aug 09 18:38
CrystalMathif freenode did do what Andrew Lee said, been an IRC network for free speech and right-wing free software development, i would have loved itAug 09 18:38
CrystalMathi would have done everything for itAug 09 18:38
DaemonFCI've noticed that Aldi and Walmart still seem to be at least _trying_ to not make this inflation worse than it has to be.Aug 09 18:38

Ariadnefoxy screwed up by reminding us that she was affiliated with both networksAug 09 18:39

CrystalMathAriadne: both?Aug 09 18:40

CrystalMathAriadne: well you can check freenode.net/peopleAug 09 18:40
CrystalMaththe list has in fact gotten shorter than you thinkAug 09 18:40
MinceRAriadne: what's up with evilnet?Aug 09 18:40
CrystalMathMinceR: evilnet is the one Ariadne won't helpAug 09 18:41
Ariadnei mean, i would check if foxy is still a staff with /whois, but it seems i need to make an irc.com account to even connectAug 09 18:41
DaemonFCRonald Reagan put this in a speech in the 1980s where he said you work hard and are in there trying to buy hamburgers and here's this strapping young buck using food stamps to buy steak.Aug 09 18:41
CrystalMathalthough this is good for evilnet as i'm trying to convince them not to use the garbage that is athemeAug 09 18:41
DaemonFCNot much has changed, I guess.Aug 09 18:41
MinceR:>Aug 09 18:41
AriadneCrystalMath: it does seem relevant to convince them to not use software where there is no technical support availableAug 09 18:41
DaemonFCReagan had perhaps the most compelling presidential victories of all time.Aug 09 18:41
CrystalMathAriadne: regardless of technical support, atheme is just badAug 09 18:42
DaemonFCIn fact, I think 1984 he only lost Minnesota and DC.Aug 09 18:42
CrystalMathif atheme was good i could do tech support for itAug 09 18:42

DaemonFCI don't think anyone has ever won all electoral votes. I think that's the closest it's been.Aug 09 18:42

Ariadneso, thanks for letting me knowAug 09 18:43
Ariadne:)Aug 09 18:43
DaemonFCWe've gone back to being too evenly divided to even guess at what will happen until the fat lady sings.Aug 09 18:43
DaemonFCMaybe even days after the election.Aug 09 18:43
CrystalMathAriadne: well if the desired effect is to get people away from atheme, then yesAug 09 18:44
CrystalMathhowever i also want schestowitz to know thisAug 09 18:44
AriadneokayAug 09 18:44
DaemonFCEh, Washington, but I don't think he really counts. The prevailing attitude was to make him a King.Aug 09 18:44
DaemonFCDe facto if nothing else.Aug 09 18:44
DaemonFCUsually power goes to the people who want it, and that's why they shouldn't have it.Aug 09 18:45
MinceRronnie raygun only wished they could make him a king, eh?Aug 09 18:45
AriadneCrystalMath: bluntly, free software does not include technical supportAug 09 18:45
CrystalMathi know, but if it was anope that did this (which is possible) it would be worth it to provide 3rd party community support for itAug 09 18:45
CrystalMathatheme sadly reeks of the garbage that the people who work on it areAug 09 18:46
AriadnehahaAug 09 18:46
MinceR🍿Aug 09 18:46
DaemonFCWhat these Senate negotiations are telling me is that about half the Republican Party has already cast Trump aside and want to move on and do big things now that he's out of the picture.Aug 09 18:47
Ariadnei mean, if schestowitz wishes to move techrights off my servers because *checks notes* a group of people collectively organized to not provide technical support to freenode and its staffers in any context, then that's his right to do.Aug 09 18:47
DaemonFCThey won't say it, but they've calculated that he won't be back.Aug 09 18:47
DaemonFCNo matter what he threatens them with, they don't care.Aug 09 18:47

CrystalMathAriadne: the problem is how you extend this to associates and associates of associates (recursively)Aug 09 18:53
CrystalMaththe problem isn't evilnet which should not be using atheme anywayAug 09 18:53
Ariadnehow is that a problem?  an embargo needs to have teeth to be effectiveAug 09 18:53
CrystalMathAriadne: the fact that you call it an embargo is another thing that schestowitz should be aware ofAug 09 18:54
Ariadne(hint: the goal of the embargo is to leave freenode with zero staffers)Aug 09 18:54
CrystalMathfreenode isn't going to have 0 staffers but it will have 5-ishAug 09 18:54
CrystalMathuntil it closes downAug 09 18:54
CrystalMathi mean how much staff will freenode really need? with only registered users that will be such a small amount :(Aug 09 18:55
Ariadneyes, schestowitz, CrystalMath is telling the truth, i am using labor organizing to influence what staff andrew lee can retainAug 09 18:55
CrystalMathit's pointless to discuss freenode, sadly there is currently no free speech free software development IRCAug 09 18:55
Ariadneso, is foxy a freenode staff or notAug 09 18:56
CrystalMathAriadne: but you're kinda beating a dead horse, if that's the pointAug 09 18:56

CrystalMathwell, technically still an ircopAug 09 18:56
Ariadneand, it's not my personal decisionAug 09 18:56
Ariadnewe collectively made that decisionAug 09 18:56
CrystalMathi know, yes, now you told me what that's about, but freenode doesn't have a chanceAug 09 18:57
Ariadnei'm sorry that this is where the picket line is, but that's where the picket line isAug 09 18:57
CrystalMathand yet the need for a right-wing-allowing free software IRC network is still there and unquenchedAug 09 18:57
Ariadneour refusal to provide support to freenode and its associates is also speech, by the wayAug 09 18:57
Ariadneand atheme has no issue with a right-wing free software IRC networkAug 09 18:57
MinceRwhat does atheme have issue with?Aug 09 18:58
Ariadnewe have issue with an IRC network run by somebody who takes over 700+ channels and steals them from their rightful ownersAug 09 18:58

XRevan86Ariadne: CrystalMath is a lot more reasonable when he doesn't look at the big picture.Aug 09 19:11
CrystalMathor any embargoAug 09 19:11
Ariadnethis isn't even "cancel" cultureAug 09 19:11

XRevan86CrystalMath: freenode discriminated them, so they're soft-discriminating freenode, so ye're discriminating themAug 09 19:13

XRevan86CrystalMath: Say it as it is: ye want to cancel Ariadne for her choices.Aug 09 19:14
AriadneXRevan86: its because scope of the embargo includes networks run or opered by people who have a nexus with freenodeAug 09 19:14
CrystalMathXRevan86: only from techrights because i believe t would save techrightsAug 09 19:14
Ariadneand that embargo is not just atheme at this point,Aug 09 19:14
CrystalMathAriadne: and yes if it was just freenode i would have nothing to say to schestowitz, since this was obviousAug 09 19:14

CrystalMathi truly don't understand "boycott novell" eitherAug 09 19:17
Ariadneevilnet can "cure" the fact that they fall in the boycott zoneAug 09 19:17

CrystalMathnone of that solves the real problemAug 09 19:18

CrystalMathno, that there is no right-wing free software development IRC networkAug 09 19:18
Ariadnestart one, atheme will have your backAug 09 19:18

Ariadneno, we don't dispute that, because we allowed christel to form freenode limited unilaterally (oopsie)Aug 09 19:26
XRevan86CrystalMath: It has a right not to have anything in common with a corporate raid that took place.Aug 09 19:26
CrystalMathit's not a corporate raidAug 09 19:26
CrystalMaththe corporation owned the network and decided to shut it downAug 09 19:26
CrystalMaththen started a new oneAug 09 19:27
CrystalMathbefore the shut down channels were taken but ultimately why is that important really, it was all shut downAug 09 19:27
XRevan86> require the company to undertake novel measures designed to increase the share value, generally in opposition to the desires and practices of the corporation's current managementAug 09 19:27
Ariadnebecause it was an attack on the very thing atheme was created to promoteAug 09 19:27
XRevan86Okay, the "increase the share value" part doesn't fit.Aug 09 19:27
Ariadnei mean, the reality is, atheme was more than willing to continue in its agreement with freenode, under the new leadershipAug 09 19:29
XRevan86The term "raid takeover" in Russian has a different meaning, I don't know how to get that across.Aug 09 19:29
Ariadnethen rasengan was like "fuck you, i do what i want"Aug 09 19:29
Ariadneso, we decided to do likewiseAug 09 19:29
CrystalMathAriadne: i still don't think you should cancel a network just because it's doing crazy thingsAug 09 19:29
Ariadneand it turned out what we want is to not provide free labor to freenode or its associatesAug 09 19:29
CrystalMathlike i could start a network where network staff owns all the channelsAug 09 19:30
Ariadnehow are we 'cancelling' freenode?Aug 09 19:30
CrystalMathno you're cancelling people who are just vaguely associatedAug 09 19:30
Ariadnewe simply choose not to provide free labor to it, or its associatesAug 09 19:30

Ariadneother networks run in part by freenode staff can launder freenode's support requestsAug 09 19:30
CrystalMathno because freenode does not run athemeAug 09 19:31
Ariadneit does not run atheme because it had no practical choice but to stopAug 09 19:31
Ariadnebut that does not change our position,Aug 09 19:31
Ariadneother networks run in part by freenode staff can launder freenode's support requestsAug 09 19:31
CrystalMathhow?Aug 09 19:31
Ariadnethat freenode does not *presently* have support requests, does not change that the capability existsAug 09 19:31
CrystalMathfreenode has zero support requests for athemeAug 09 19:31
CrystalMathAriadne: i think that's presuming guilt way too farAug 09 19:32

XRevan86CrystalMath: psydruid probably meant his own bouncer, not *the* bouncer.Aug 09 19:37

Ariadnei'm sorry that Gadreel is inconvenienced, but there are two paths that can be taken to solve the issueAug 09 19:42
AriadneFoxy can quit freenode staff, or he can fire FoxyAug 09 19:42
CrystalMathor he can use anopeAug 09 19:42
Ariadneor he can get support from another atheme user who chooses to help himAug 09 19:42
Ariadneso, really, 4 pathsAug 09 19:42
CrystalMathi don't understand his terrible choice of service package or even worse choice of ircdAug 09 19:42
Ariadneoh, right, anope does not work with ircu :)Aug 09 19:43
CrystalMathnah worse, solanumAug 09 19:43
activelowwiping the databse and pointing freenode domain to irc.com service killed it, not any specific service or ircd or SASL authAug 09 19:43
CrystalMathactivelow: that did cost the most usersAug 09 19:43
CrystalMathbut we could have saved it at that pointAug 09 19:44
CrystalMathheck i was going around convincing people to come back, my channels went back upAug 09 19:44
activelowit cost ALL of them, freenode user count is 0, irc.com got 10K nowAug 09 19:44

CrystalMathright, there's a tor serviceAug 09 19:49
CrystalMathis that down?Aug 09 19:49
activelowif his highness had permitted onion exits with the new SASl/registration scheme then I may not have dropped the new accountAug 09 19:49

activelowand no hidden service available either, to my knowledgeAug 09 19:50

XRevan86kingoffrance: But I disgress. Really the thing about words/actions and time is that different people have different ideas about how ideas like "social justice", "free speech", etc. translate into reality, what actions get us there.Aug 09 20:25
activelowwhy isn't this channel bridged to libera?Aug 09 20:25

XRevan86activelow: irc.techrights.org is the only base of operations, it's consolidated.Aug 09 20:25

CrystalMathlibera is run by radical SJWsAug 09 20:26

kingoffranceyes, i saw that recently osi IIRC faq says open source said they have same goals as free software, differ on methods.   fsf disagreed with that.Aug 09 20:26

XRevan86* a different set of opinionsAug 09 20:29
sears_hardwareXRevan86: are you talking about libera or leenodeAug 09 20:29
kingoffrancesears_hardware, "agile" sort of used it tooAug 09 20:29
XRevan86sears_hardware: I'm mocking, so ye know I'm not talking about leenode :)Aug 09 20:29
kingoffranceso it might have a bad name for someAug 09 20:29
XRevan86sears_hardware: And of course on leenode the purge is a good thing, because it happens to align with CrystalMath's views, sort of.Aug 09 20:30

MinceRthe nice thing about purging everyone is that it aligns with all views that promote any purgingAug 09 20:31

XRevan86All the people are reduced to signatures. How easy to judge, very convinient.Aug 09 20:33
MinceRXRevan86: "waive" does not mean what you think it does. and yes, it's a pretty good piece of evidence, seeing how the people on the list asked their signatures to be added themselves and how it's about an SJW anti-free software agenda.Aug 09 20:33

CrystalMathXRevan86: you also don't care about all the free software developers that got k-lined for supporting TrumpAug 09 20:39
XRevan86MinceR: I don't have decent information around that. Being involved in the Fedora community is not something I would judge a person for.Aug 09 20:39

activelowlater this movement was hijacked by former "socialist union party" (the left, which renamed itself after 1990 severl times)Aug 09 21:04

DaemonFCThat's why I figure it's safe enough to do business with MetroMile or Root.Aug 09 21:41
DaemonFCAriadne, The standard practice with insurance companies and claims is to try to snow the person making the claim under and minimize the settlement offer.Aug 09 21:42
DaemonFCYou'll get that whether you go with MetroMile or Allstate or State Farm or Liberty Mutual.Aug 09 21:43
DaemonFCIf they simply paid out and didn't try to lowball people and stall things, they'd end up paying more money and then they'd turn around and raise everybody's rates.Aug 09 21:44
Ariadnein oklahoma, they are limited in how much they can do thatAug 09 21:44
Ariadneif i total someone's carAug 09 21:44
Ariadnethey get a new car of equal valueAug 09 21:45
Ariadneit's the lawAug 09 21:45
DaemonFCIn Indiana in 2002, a drunk driver took his daughter's car and went drinking. He blew threw a stoplight and rammed the side of my car.Aug 09 21:45
DaemonFCProgressive, his daughter's insurance company, offered me $2,200 and said they'd take the car.Aug 09 21:45
Ariadneyeah theyre not allowed to do that here :)Aug 09 21:46
DaemonFCI told them I wanted the book value of the car, which was $2,800, and I'd keep the car. I'm not a litigious person but I wasn't going to let them roll me like that.Aug 09 21:46
DaemonFCI ended up getting the car back and the $2,800.Aug 09 21:46
DaemonFCI took it to some hillbilly mechanic out in the country and had him put some doors on it I got at a junkyard. Between paying for those and paying him, I got the car fixed for about $800 and kept the $2,000 for myself. The drunk driver went to jail.Aug 09 21:47
DaemonFCProgressive also had to reimburse my insurance for putting me in a rental car for two weeks, because my policy covered it.Aug 09 21:48
DaemonFCSo they ended up paying $60 a day for that for 14 days.Aug 09 21:48

DaemonFC Ariadne On the surface, the idea is sound.Aug 09 21:53
DaemonFCPer-mile insurance.Aug 09 21:53
DaemonFCThey can quantify how much risk is involved, on average, per mile traveled, and charge for most of the month based on that.Aug 09 21:53
psydruidXRevan86, так, я також тебе зрозумівAug 09 21:54
DaemonFCYou can game it a little bit by making an effort to find the route with the shortest distance. The funny thing is, that might encourage you to take a riskier path.Aug 09 21:54
XRevan86psydruid: Я дюже долго думал о "lepiej", так и не смог уразуметь, откуда такому слову взяться.Aug 09 21:55
XRevan86psydruid: С "więcej" проще: ещё в праславянском было два синонима для "more", это просто другой. При желании можно встретить как "вяче" или "вяще" (из церковнославянского/староболгарского).Aug 09 21:58
DaemonFCI actually gave a "lemons" example yesterday.Aug 09 21:59
DaemonFCThe company that bags the lemons that get sold at Walmart says they're 2 pound bags. But the bags are anywhere from 2 to 2.35 pounds out of the 11 bags I checked that day.Aug 09 22:00
XRevan86psydruid: Но украинский к устаревшим словам относится довольно болезненно, потому не буду и пытаться на него натягивать %).Aug 09 22:00
DaemonFCIf you take the time to weigh all of them, you can leave with 2.35 pounds of lemons instead of 2. Other people won't have the 2.35 pound bag available and probably won't check, and will leave with fewer lemons at the same price you paid.Aug 09 22:00
DaemonFCThe company broke no laws because of variance rules, you broke no laws because the store said each bag of lemons is the same price.Aug 09 22:01
DaemonFCSo within the law, you're a little better off at everyone else's expense.Aug 09 22:01
psydruidXRevan86: Это очень интересно, так как я постоянно стараюсь изучать славянские языки :)Aug 09 22:02
XRevan86psydruid: Всё, что раньше возрождения украинской литературы (минимум XVIII век), не будет воспринято как слово, имеющее какое-либо отношение к украинскому языку.Aug 09 22:05
