[01:34]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, aspartame is horrible.
[01:34]	IsambardPrince	Saccharin is worse.
[01:34]	IsambardPrince	Aspartame breaks down in heat, so while it works for iced tea or something, it is useless in hot beverages because the heat breaks it down and it does not sweeten hot coffee or other hot drinks.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	Saccharin has a truly disgusting aftertaste, but it is heat stable.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	Sucralose tastes sugary and doesn't break down, but too much of it will make you shit your pants.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	Stevia isn't sweet enough.

[17:58]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Well the rent is high here, but the washers and dryers only cost $1 per cycle.
[17:58]	IsambardPrince	Most landlords seem to charge $2-3 per cycle. I guess this place figures that if the rent costs a ton they don't need a lot of money for laundry.
[17:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	you can have a washerr
[17:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	but it costs water and power
[17:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	not just the purchasing cost
[17:59]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, $1 per load seems fair enough.
● Jun 17
[18:00]	IsambardPrince	You go through about 2-3 loads a week with two people.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	So if the cost is like $2.50 per cycle like Mark that's $9 more every week, and they get about $468 more out of you over the year for laundry.
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	Seems like this place goes heavy on the rent, but....
[18:01]	IsambardPrince	The laundry is cheap and they include heat in the winter.
[18:02]	IsambardPrince	The heat in the winter is big because it's a gas boiler with radiators. If you get an apartment with electric heat you can end up spending $200 in electric each month just on heat, for the coldest four months of the year.
[18:02]	IsambardPrince	So you have to consider that. 
[18:02]	IsambardPrince	The heat will add at least $1,000 over the course of the heating season.
[18:03]	IsambardPrince	So that comes out to $122.33 at Mark's that was not in the rent, but it popped up elsewhere, which we don't deal with here.
[18:03]	IsambardPrince	It still costs more here but it's something to consider.
[18:04]	IsambardPrince	It made the effective comparable price at Mark's $1272.33 per month.
[18:04]	IsambardPrince	But then it gets even worse.
[18:04]	IsambardPrince	Mark had those stupid sliding windows that you can't put a window fan in properly.
[18:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	i9 want to shift topic

[18:05]	IsambardPrince	I have enough to make a tech topic on this, btw.
[18:06]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Just calling everything involving a game "xbox" is pretty stupid.
[18:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	right
[18:06]	IsambardPrince	The actual xbox is over $700 now I think, and that's a seriously bad deal.

[18:07]	IsambardPrince	And the base games are often running almost $80 each.
[18:07]	IsambardPrince	It's not really comparable to when I was a kid in the 90s and you just plugged in a cartridge and there was a full game sitting there waiting for you to play it.

[18:08]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: It's in a death spiral where only the most hardcore consumers who have a lot of money will be interested in this.
[18:08]	IsambardPrince	It's gone from being an "accessible luxury" of the working class to being an extravagance. 
[18:09]	IsambardPrince	They've completely ruined it. They really have turned it into something for the rich and the 35 year old living in mom's spare bedroom who never left the house and is emptying her pension checks on it.

[18:11]	IsambardPrince	Like you'd tell all your friends "This one is great. Spend your allowance money on it, or hey you know how you get one or two of these at Christmas or birthdays, here are the good ones."
[18:11]	IsambardPrince	If you put out a game that wasn't any good, nobody would tell their friends or they'd say I can't believe I spent money on that, and the publisher would lose money, write them off, and not do a game like that one again.
[18:12]	IsambardPrince	There was a huge cost in guessing wrong and sending something bad to production.

[18:25]	IsambardPrince	You keep iterating the console, and I mean look, I think this xbox thing where even the consoles have different versions now with different specs, that's a mistake.
[18:25]	IsambardPrince	We saw where this mentality went for Sega.
[18:26]	IsambardPrince	The Genesis was a good console for the time, but they bifurcated their development efforts.
[18:26]	IsambardPrince	They sold a CD upgrade and a 32-bit CPU upgrade, which were both incompatible with each other and had different limitations.
[18:26]	IsambardPrince	And putting SH-2 processors in the 32X took them away and slowed production of the Saturn.
[18:27]	IsambardPrince	Then devs and customers didn't trust the company enough to buy anything, because you had all these different incompatible things out.

[20:02]	IsambardPrince	It massively decreases the odds of a toilet clog, even with very bad toilets.
[20:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	[too much info]
[20:02]	IsambardPrince	This apartment has one of those old bawoosh toilets.
[20:02]	IsambardPrince	It won't clog even if you wait and flush everything.
[20:02]	IsambardPrince	But the new toilets don't do that.
[20:03]	IsambardPrince	You can keep the old toilet that works if you don't remove it. Once you remove it it's illegal to install it again even if you're just redoing the seals.
[20:03]	IsambardPrince	Not that this stops anyone. If you have one you're not going to replace it with a low flow toilet that makes you stop and flush several times.
[20:04]	IsambardPrince	The government decided that you can save water by replacing a 3 gallon toilet that flushes the first time with one that has to be flushed three times using 1.67 gallons each time, during the course of one shit.
