[00:09]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Don't make onion soup with decarbonized onions.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	Pro tip.
[00:10]	MinceR	:>
[00:15]	cash	Yeah that'd be pretty horrid
[00:15]	cash	Actually I've did that once now that I remember
[00:45]		*parsifal (~parsifal@kv2ix4zpkfb9i.irc) has joined #techrights
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	I got a couple TVs and a DVD player and a VCR for the bedroom.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	Old video games looked better on a CRT.
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	I excavated the PS2.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	I'm looking into Lubuntu.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	I'm wondering if it really is lighter than KDE. It seems to have so many things from KDE I wonder what the point is.
[00:55]		*includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in)
[00:56]	cash	I recommend Linux Mint XFCE

[00:59]	IsambardPrince	I was on a video call today and suddenly my laptop started chugging and it told me it installed updates and needed to reboot, so I did, then restarted the video call and it kept chugging.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	This is ridiculous.
● Sep 09
[01:00]	cash	What are you running?
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	Kubuntu 26.04 with Vivaldi. That's pretty much all that was open during the call.
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	I tried closing all other tabs assuming something probably stalled out in another tab.
[01:03]		*darwin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	It's got a Core i7 6560U and 16 GB of RAM.
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	What else do you need for a video call?
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I was having the vaccine argument with my mom again.
[01:09]		*darwin (~darwin@ezriia7nzimpg.irc) has joined #techrights
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	I said "I sure wish someone had gotten Leeloo her FHV shots when she was a kitten."
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	She said, "That wasn't all that was wrong with her!"
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	I said "Well, would you like to lay there and die while you can't even open your eyes or eat when there was a vaccine that might have at least prevented some suffering at the end?"
[01:11]	IsambardPrince	Thee FHV may or may not have been what actually caused her to die, but it was getting very bad at the end and it might have been the last straw.
[01:11]	MinceR	Tyrian looked better on a CRT... until i figured out how to make DOSBox upscale so that the pixels are mostly chunky but a bit blurred at the edges
[01:11]	MinceR	then it looked just like it did on a CRT
[01:11]	MinceR	iirc it took combining 2 ways to upscale
[01:13]	cash	Not familiar with Vivaldi, is that a voip?
[01:13]	IsambardPrince	A web browser, based on Chromium.
[01:14]	MinceR	some people involved with opera were bitter that opera became a chromium fork, so they made vivaldi, a chromium fork
[01:14]	MinceR	yeah, i don't know why they thought that would solve their problem.
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	The GUI is better.
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	And they didn't have the rights to Presto.
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	Opera Software does and they're probably not interested in selling it.
[01:16]	cash	Ah. Yeah that rings a bell. I'm librewolf for life
[01:16]	IsambardPrince	It's probably too far behind Chromium now to ever get caught up.
[01:16]	cash	Or at least as long as librewolf keeps working
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	The source code for Presto leaked out on github.
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	Opera sent a cease and desist even though they aren't using it for anything and likely never will again.
[01:32]	IsambardPrince	https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/08/politics/national-guardsman-dc-gun-arrest
[01:32]	TR Bot	 Dispute over hair length leads to soldier pulling gun on fellow guardsman, police say | CNN Politics
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Trump sez the National Guard is in DC to reduce crime and keep people safe.
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	CNN sez: Georgia National Guard soldier pulls gun on other National Guardsman outside of a Popeye's chicken in a dispute over "hair length".
[01:34]	MinceR	lol
[01:34]	MinceR	the sooner they shoot each other, the safer the people get
[01:34]	MinceR	but they could do this in an unpopulated area
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	I'm tempted to make a german chocolate cake.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	But that's a lot of work and I'm not feeling it right now.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	I don't cut corners when I cook.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	That frosting out of a can is some nasty shit.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	Almost as bad as the box cake mixes.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Then again I think we're the only ones here that aren't calling doordash every night.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	These people are fucking retarded.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	That's who calls doordash every night.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Lazy people and retards.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Mostly.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	I had to while my shoulder was broken.

[03:58]	IsambardPrince	I did make a chocolate mayo cake.
[03:58]	IsambardPrince	The recipe calls for 35 minutes at 350 on the center rack.
[03:58]	IsambardPrince	But in my oven it's actually done in 29 minutes.
[03:59]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: This is the easiest chocolate cake there is, and very cheap.
[03:59]	MinceR	:)
[03:59]	IsambardPrince	It skips milk, eggs, and butter.
● Sep 09
[04:00]	IsambardPrince	You replace that with one cup of mayo.
[04:01]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: 8 ounces of Duke's mayo in bulk is 80 cents. Three eggs, milk, and the proper amount of butter would be about $2.20.

[19:02]	IsambardPrince	Nearly every major country that holds US treasury bonds is dumping them all at once.
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	then it goes bellyupo
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	let others pay for the losses
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	meanwhile you extend your corporate lifetime
[19:02]	IsambardPrince	In the last few months, I counted a total of over $1 trillion that they're going to let mature without rolling over.
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	selling xyz vapourware
[19:02]	IsambardPrince	So all this inflation is going to come ashore.
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	public left holdingh the bag
[19:02]	IsambardPrince	The Dollar will spend the next 5 years or so weakening.
[19:03]	IsambardPrince	It could get so bad that it barely passes for money.
[19:05]	IsambardPrince	They have no confidence that the US government, under Trump's tax and spending bills, is capable of paying its bills, and they want their money back.
[19:05]	IsambardPrince	It started with Japan seizing assets. They didn't want dollars, they wanted hard assets. Trump arranged for them to seize US Steel. Other creditors will likely want to seize things too, which is what happens when your money is so questionable that nobody even wants it anymore when the bonds mature.
[19:06]	IsambardPrince	The problem is that there's not $40 trillion worth of hard assets in the US to seize.
[19:06]	IsambardPrince	The first creditors to rush in start seizing all the good stuff.
[19:06]	IsambardPrince	It's like when you go bankrupt and there's a pecking order for claims by creditors.
[19:06]	IsambardPrince	But nobody gets paid back in full.
[19:08]	IsambardPrince	First the taxes, then the child support, then the alimony, then the student loans, all of those get paid, but whoever gave you personal loans and credit cards get wiped out. The house goes back to the bank if there's a mortgage, they probably make a profit. The cars go back to the bank, they take almost a complete loss because a car at auction is almost never worth anything close to the note.
[19:09]	IsambardPrince	There's going to be a pecking order wher the first ones to come rushing in get to seize all the good stuff though because it's all for sale.
[19:09]	IsambardPrince	And we spent so many years racking up debts we can't pay by creating Dollars that aren't really backed by anything specific, that our creditors have a great deal of money to spend.
[19:10]	IsambardPrince	So this is where buying Chinese-made VCRs in the 90s has consequences.
[19:10]	IsambardPrince	They can use those Dollars to cause painful inflation here in all sorts of ways.
[19:11]	IsambardPrince	Including letting billions mature all at once, and using it to bid up the price of oil.
[19:11]	IsambardPrince	China's trade surplus has gone up again this year despite the US tariffs.
[19:11]	IsambardPrince	There's other countries to sign trade deals with.
[19:12]	IsambardPrince	They can pivot.
[19:12]	IsambardPrince	The only thing Trump has really done on trade is cause a huge clusterfuck where millions of Americans lost their jobs, the value of the Dollar is in serious doubt, and foreign countries are retaliating against us and signing deals to cut us out of the loop.
[19:14]	IsambardPrince	China has a lot of restrictions on what foreign creditors can buy in the Chinese economy, the US has few.

[20:06]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: There was a class action lawsuit about leaking refrigerators.
[20:06]	IsambardPrince	We had one at Gonad's house.
[20:06]	IsambardPrince	The ice machine leaked water onto the floor every once in a while.
[20:07]	IsambardPrince	Thanks to Brian's smoking and alcoholism, there was never any money to replace a fridge that "worked" so the solution was to put a towel under that corner and wash the towel sometimes.
[20:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	the fridge outlived him
[20:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	and he treated this fridge like he treated himwelf
[20:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	and based on what you had said, or what he had done, his kids must have felt the same
[20:09]	IsambardPrince	I'm sure Erica ran off with his pickup truck, never changed the oil, and destroyed it.
[20:10]	IsambardPrince	Between 7 adults, they didn't scrape up $550 for the mortgage on a four bedroom house.
[20:10]	IsambardPrince	So now they all have to rent an apartment for whatever the landlord charges.
[20:10]	IsambardPrince	And they ran off and left his prized fishing boat with the fish finder he paid a lot of money to add to it on the lot, leaving it for the person the bank sold his house out of foreclosure to.
[20:11]	IsambardPrince	Judging from Google Maps, they still continue to use that boat as it has changed position in the yard several times, is still there, and has a newer tarp over it.
[20:12]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Don't you think you might grab the title to the boat and sell it to someone quickly before the bank throws you out of the house?

[20:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	i saw a frog yesterday
[20:14]	IsambardPrince	One time he illegally shot a goose and left half of it in my mother's freezer. And she screamed and threw it out, and Brian was mad  because he planned to eat it.

[20:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	a pet
[20:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	quite cute-lookign
[20:14]	IsambardPrince	Near as I can tell, Brian Jr. broke at least seven laws shooting that goose.
[20:14]	IsambardPrince	Some federal, some state.
[20:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	<IsambardPrince> One time he illegally shot a goose and left half of it in my mother's freezer. And she screamed and threw it out, and Brian was mad  because he planned to eat it.
[20:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	"he ont some meat"
[20:15]	IsambardPrince	Basically, yes.
[20:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	iirc, brian was of irish heritage

[20:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	his other half was collecting insects
[20:16]	IsambardPrince	To shoot a bird, you have to do it during hunting season, in a state-designated hunting area, with a hunting permit, with a bird hunting stamp attached to it, and you can't use a gun unless you're disabled or a military veteran otherwise you have to use a bow and arrow, but not a crossbow.
[20:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	posting photos in twitter...
[20:16]	IsambardPrince	So there's at least 5 laws that I'm certain he broke.

[20:20]	IsambardPrince	The reason there's an exception to the "no guns for bird hunting" rule for disabled people and military veterans is obvious.
[20:20]	IsambardPrince	A rifle is easier to handle than a bow and arrow.
[20:20]	IsambardPrince	And for veterans, it's a reward for military service.
[20:21]	IsambardPrince	Illinois has a rule that says that if you hit a deer with your car, you are allowed to take it or offer it to others.
[20:21]	IsambardPrince	The exception is if you have unpaid child support you are not allowed to take it.
[20:21]	IsambardPrince	But if someone passes by who doesn't have unpaid child support, they can have it.
[20:22]	IsambardPrince	The state has ways of making your life difficult if you don't do what it tells you to do.
[20:22]	IsambardPrince	They've literally thought of everything, including that you can't take a deer that you hit with your car.
[20:22]	IsambardPrince	If you didn't pay your support.
[20:24]	IsambardPrince	Think of how much worse the divorce from Mandy could have been if it was between heterosexuals and the marriage had produced children.
[20:24]	IsambardPrince	The state would have said to me, "Okay, well, she gets your children, and you get to pay for them. We don't care if there's a job you can do or if you can make that much money, and we'll put you in jail if you don't. Also, we'll ruin your credit."
[20:25]	IsambardPrince	The state views men as disposable workers.
[20:25]	IsambardPrince	The only thing you get to do is suffer and pay for things.

[20:25]	IsambardPrince	All the benefits are meant to go to women, especially the women who made kids.
[20:26]	IsambardPrince	If you complain about this setup, you are a "Nazi". They use "Male Rights Activist" and "Nazi" interchangeably.
[20:26]	IsambardPrince	And inappropriately.
[20:26]	IsambardPrince	Somehow wanting fair visitation and division of labor between male and female is like gassing the Jews.
[20:27]	IsambardPrince	I totally support equal rights between the genders, under the law. In a totally equal system, women will gain some things, and lose some things. They'll lose more than they gain.
[20:27]	IsambardPrince	Which is why none of them really want it.
[20:29]	IsambardPrince	The current administration is trying to get women out of combat roles in the Army and Marines.

[20:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Last time Arvind was expected to retire the execs were speculating that Rob T wouldn't get it. Since then Arvind has continued to move more under Rob, most recent being Marketing. The role of Chief Marketing Officer and Corporate Marketing are now gone. If Arvind retires and Rob T doesn't replace him there will be a significant restructuring. The board knows what Arvind is doing so it looks like Rob T is the definite replacement
