DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Only 600,000 tests in the whole country today. | Aug 18 00:36 |
DaemonFC[m] | It was 850,000 last Monday. | Aug 18 00:36 |
DaemonFC[m] | Surprise....Only 38,000 cases. | Aug 18 00:37 |
DaemonFC[m] | You just get rid of 30% of the tests and there you go 10,000 less cases. | Aug 18 00:37 |
schestowitz | who needs to stop covid anyway? | Aug 18 00:37 |
schestowitz | it's just "impeachment hoax" | Aug 18 00:38 |

schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: credit report | Aug 18 01:49 |
schestowitz | =debt history | Aug 18 01:50 |
schestowitz | debt prospects | Aug 18 01:50 |
schestowitz | and hardly as positive as that sounds | Aug 18 01:50 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, a lot of good their model did with me. | Aug 18 01:50 |
DaemonFC[m] | Told them I had a 1.5% chance of going bust in the next 5 years. | Aug 18 01:51 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: About the only thing it does seem to do is tell them how to stay away from people who owe everyone and don't ever pay their bills. | Aug 18 01:51 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's not a good predictive model of risk at higher score levels. It just means someone knows how to get higher scores and open lots of cards. | Aug 18 01:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | Eventually something bad will happen to them and then they'll only have the cards to turn to for money. | Aug 18 01:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | That's another chance to make money. Most won't qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. | Aug 18 01:53 |
DaemonFC[m] | Even if they do file under reorganization, you'll make more than you loaned to them, most likely. | Aug 18 01:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Instead of fighting off each individual debtor, the bankruptcy code only presumes abuse if you file sooner than 90 days after racking up a debt. | Aug 18 01:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | Most lawyers recommend waiting about 6 months though. | Aug 18 01:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | A creditor can open an adversarial motion after 90 days, but the burden of proof is on them. | Aug 18 01:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | So if it's egregious and they figure you have assets, they might. Seems to only happen in about 1 in 50 bankruptcies though. | Aug 18 01:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | Just because they file an AP doesn't mean it's going anywhere. | Aug 18 01:57 |
DaemonFC[m] | If they open one the court can declare that it was frivolous or abusive on their part and then they owe you compensation for your cost to fight them off. | Aug 18 01:57 |
DaemonFC[m] | I found the GDP bankruptcy. Apparently, the guy running it, Michael Pratt, was being sued in his individual capacity by 21 Jane Does. | Aug 18 01:59 |
DaemonFC[m] | They filed an AP and the judge ruled that he was abusing the bankruptcy code and dismissed the whole case. | Aug 18 01:59 |
DaemonFC[m] | They should have been able to prevent him from fleeing the country. | Aug 18 02:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | He had been selling all his stuff and transferring the assets to New Zealand for months. | Aug 18 02:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | Seems New Zealand is protecting this guy from extradition even though he acquired US citizenship and is a child pornographer. | Aug 18 02:04 |

DaemonFC[m] | He had a Sig Sauer 9 mm and a 12 gauge shotgun. | Aug 18 02:17 |
schestowitz | nz has weapons | Aug 18 02:18 |
DaemonFC[m] | He tried to file bankruptcy against his lawyers. | Aug 18 02:19 |
DaemonFC[m] | About $213,000 in unpaid legal bills. | Aug 18 02:20 |
schestowitz | ha | Aug 18 02:20 |
schestowitz | greed of law firms | Aug 18 02:21 |
DaemonFC[m] | he paid his bankruptcy lawyer $4,400. That was a total waste. | Aug 18 02:21 |
schestowitz | they should charge $20 an hour | Aug 18 02:21 |
DaemonFC[m] | They demand payment in cash up front. | Aug 18 02:21 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Oh, there's a flat fee on Chapter 7 most of the time, but it may or may not include representation if someone files an AP. | Aug 18 02:21 |
DaemonFC[m] | Most of the lower priced lawyers specify you owe them hourly for fighting off APs if anyone files one. | Aug 18 02:22 |

DaemonFC[m] | No, he paid them $9,400 schestowitz | Aug 18 02:23 |
DaemonFC[m] | $5,000 retainer and then another $4,400. | Aug 18 02:23 |
DaemonFC[m] | They got him for $9,400 to file some papers and about $500 to file it and the bankruptcy was tossed out of court. | Aug 18 02:23 |
DaemonFC[m] | So all the bankruptcy did was make $10,000 more of his own money disappear. | Aug 18 02:24 |
schestowitz | why does this case matter to us?? | Aug 18 02:25 |
schestowitz | 12 new case of covid19 reported in NZ today | Aug 18 02:25 |
schestowitz | they used to brag about 0 active cases | Aug 18 02:25 |
schestowitz | one death reported in s korea | Aug 18 02:25 |
schestowitz | 246 new cases | Aug 18 02:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: New Zealand did brag. | Aug 18 02:27 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then they let in all those billionaires from countries that were in the process of being overwhelmed with it. | Aug 18 02:27 |
DaemonFC[m] | I wonder if that had anything to do with it. | Aug 18 02:27 |

schestowitz | this is working out great so far | Aug 18 02:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | What do you think about this big government push for flu shots? | Aug 18 02:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | The CDC ordered 9.2 million doses for the uninsured this year. | Aug 18 02:28 |
schestowitz | and I think the people get confidence, seeing many diners indoors | Aug 18 02:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | Normally it orders 500,000. | Aug 18 02:28 |
schestowitz | you get discount only if you eat in | Aug 18 02:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | The media is hammering on about getting the flu shot. | Aug 18 02:28 |
schestowitz | flu shots are effective | Aug 18 02:29 |
schestowitz | unlike that crap they push using media FUD for covid-19 | Aug 18 02:29 |
DaemonFC[m] | Do you suspect that the flu season will really be that bad given that there's nobody letting Americans come back and forth all that much? | Aug 18 02:29 |
schestowitz | can the flu shot have any indirect effects on boost for covid-19 immunity? Doubt it | Aug 18 02:29 |
DaemonFC[m] | Also, with the COVID-19 mitigations, for whatever that's worth. | Aug 18 02:29 |
schestowitz | maybe it can awaken the immune system somewhat | Aug 18 02:29 |
DaemonFC[m] | My mom always skips her flu shot. | Aug 18 02:30 |
DaemonFC[m] | Says it causes Alzheimer's. | Aug 18 02:30 |
schestowitz | she also believes in ghosts | Aug 18 02:30 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah. | Aug 18 02:30 |
schestowitz | never mind madade harmon | Aug 18 02:30 |
DaemonFC[m] | Mandy watches those fake ghost TV shows. | Aug 18 02:30 |
schestowitz | flu shots seem to do good, for the older groups | Aug 18 02:31 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: ghosts are a big thing in his country | Aug 18 02:31 |
schestowitz | among other BS | Aug 18 02:31 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I talked to someone from USCIS. | Aug 18 02:31 |
schestowitz | like healing people by putting chicken pieces in your hand and doing a ritual like mock surgery | Aug 18 02:31 |
DaemonFC[m] | Wouldn't talk about his case since he's at work. | Aug 18 02:31 |
schestowitz | it's embarrassing | Aug 18 02:31 |
DaemonFC[m] | She said I should get a receipt for the EAD before they furlough. | Aug 18 02:31 |
DaemonFC[m] | So hopefully that happens and extends his current work permit through next September. | Aug 18 02:32 |
DaemonFC[m] | Mom is always like "Why do you have to be in a rush to do all this?". | Aug 18 02:32 |
schestowitz | but enough about your mom and husband | Aug 18 02:32 |
DaemonFC[m] | Like, she really thinks I'm just paranoid or something. | Aug 18 02:32 |
schestowitz | again, that diverts away from issues | Aug 18 02:32 |
schestowitz | madame harmon is dumb | Aug 18 02:33 |
DaemonFC[m] | She gives bad advice. | Aug 18 02:33 |
schestowitz | we know that | Aug 18 02:33 |
DaemonFC[m] | But there's a lot of people like her on Facebook and stuff. | Aug 18 02:33 |
schestowitz | spent an hour today talking about the economy with a friend | Aug 18 02:33 |
schestowitz | who has been unemployed for many years | Aug 18 02:33 |
schestowitz | given the wrong drugs by the nhs | Aug 18 02:33 |
DaemonFC[m] | It drives people away from the flu shot. Also, with this gibbering vegetable in the White House, don't expect any good information about that from there. | Aug 18 02:33 |
schestowitz | sued them and won | Aug 18 02:33 |
schestowitz | imbecility is the biggest national security threat | Aug 18 02:34 |
schestowitz | rejection of facts | Aug 18 02:34 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The government here spends more than it would cost to have an NHS... | Aug 18 02:34 |

schestowitz | *hate | Aug 18 02:34 |

schestowitz | killing the poor | Aug 18 02:34 |
schestowitz | but not directly | Aug 18 02:34 |
schestowitz | some join the army | Aug 18 02:35 |
schestowitz | as they cannot afford edu and job otherwise | Aug 18 02:35 |
schestowitz | so that keeps cannon fodder in the books | Aug 18 02:35 |
schestowitz | I look at US national debt curve | Aug 18 02:35 |
schestowitz | and interpret is as miseducation curve | Aug 18 02:36 |
schestowitz | it went up sharply recently | Aug 18 02:36 |
schestowitz | "maga", "qanon", "trump train", "drain the swamp", "DEEP STATE!" | Aug 18 02:36 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's not all the fault of the right as much as I'd like to say it is. | Aug 18 02:37 |
schestowitz | people taking debt they cannot repay, as does the regime | Aug 18 02:37 |
schestowitz | because.... "RAPTURE" | Aug 18 02:37 |
DaemonFC[m] | We have plenty of overeducated idiots on the left. | Aug 18 02:37 |
DaemonFC[m] | Saddling themselves with $60,000 avg in student loans so they can study psychology and English. | Aug 18 02:37 |
schestowitz | remember who your 2nd in line is... Pence and then Pompeo | Aug 18 02:37 |
schestowitz | Evangelists in charge | Aug 18 02:37 |
schestowitz | it's insane. | Aug 18 02:37 |
schestowitz | like Iran's "supreme leader" | Aug 18 02:37 |
schestowitz | the christian version | Aug 18 02:37 |
DaemonFC[m] | The line of succession? | Aug 18 02:38 |
DaemonFC[m] | It would go Pence then Nancy Pelosi. | Aug 18 02:38 |
schestowitz | Pelosi hasn't as much power as Pompeo now | Aug 18 02:39 |
schestowitz | maybe next year | Aug 18 02:39 |
schestowitz | over time the regime gets worse people | Aug 18 02:39 |
DaemonFC[m] | She walked away without passing even the Republican proposal for another stimulus act. | Aug 18 02:39 |
schestowitz | consolidating based on lotalty to trump | Aug 18 02:39 |
DaemonFC[m] | She has her own reasons. | Aug 18 02:39 |
schestowitz | rather than virtue and understanding | Aug 18 02:40 |
schestowitz | tillerson is now dumb | Aug 18 02:40 |
schestowitz | corrupt and disgusting, but shrewd | Aug 18 02:40 |
DaemonFC[m] | She can let people lose their stipend for unemployment so they are good and pissed with Trump and living on mom's couch | Aug 18 02:40 |
schestowitz | then you had the likes of abrams and bolton | Aug 18 02:40 |
DaemonFC[m] | "Hey, blame them. They wouldn't pass our bill!". | Aug 18 02:40 |
schestowitz | it keeps getting worse | Aug 18 02:40 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Pelosi has incentive to make Americans miserable and pissed off so they boil over. | Aug 18 02:41 |
DaemonFC[m] | Who is going to get the blame? Trump. | Aug 18 02:41 |
DaemonFC[m] | If she can dial it up right before the election she can move the needle maybe. | Aug 18 02:41 |
DaemonFC[m] | More people blame him than Democrats because typically people blame the President and reward the opposing party when things are bad in an election year. | Aug 18 02:42 |
schestowitz | wanna read next article? | Aug 18 02:42 |
schestowitz | it's ready as draft | Aug 18 02:42 |

schestowitz | 5 secs ago | Aug 18 02:42 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: In every election I'm aware of, the worse the economy was going into the election, the more the incumbent president's party suffered in the election. | Aug 18 02:43 |
DaemonFC[m] | Bad economy is the only sure way to end a presidency. | Aug 18 02:43 |
DaemonFC[m] | "not so very positive to say" | Aug 18 02:45 |
DaemonFC[m] | Did you mean "things to say"? | Aug 18 02:45 |
DaemonFC[m] | "all the lying and the dirty tricks have not paid off" | Aug 18 02:46 |
DaemonFC[m] | all the lying and dirty tricks have not paid off | Aug 18 02:46 |
DaemonFC[m] | "states realised they they" | Aug 18 02:47 |
DaemonFC[m] | that they | Aug 18 02:47 |
DaemonFC[m] | "it need to hold accountable" | Aug 18 02:47 |
DaemonFC[m] | needs | Aug 18 02:47 |
DaemonFC[m] | Other than that, it looks okay. | Aug 18 02:49 |
schestowitz | [02:45] <DaemonFC[m]> Did you mean "things to say"? | Aug 18 02:50 |
schestowitz | yeah, I noticed that | Aug 18 02:50 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: There's only two reasons why testing would go down. | Aug 18 02:50 |
DaemonFC[m] | Either fewer people are getting so sick that they need medical attention -or- the states are deliberately rationing tests to fake lower numbers. | Aug 18 02:50 |
DaemonFC[m] | The number of positives has gone up in Illinois, as well as the percentage, on the same (roughly) number of tests in the past two weeks. | Aug 18 02:51 |
schestowitz | thanks, fixed | Aug 18 02:52 |
schestowitz | you caught 2-3 things I missed | Aug 18 02:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | So I don't believe that the numbers are going down dramatically and rapidly in 4-5 states, all Republican governors, who don't even have a mask law. | Aug 18 02:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's test rationing to fake people out. | Aug 18 02:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | Is it going to increase the spread? That brings us to another great talking point. | Aug 18 02:53 |
DaemonFC[m] | The news said today that half the tests are so backlogged that by the time they come back they are of no possible use in trying to contain the virus. | Aug 18 02:53 |
schestowitz | [02:53] <DaemonFC[m]> Is it going to increase the spread? That brings us to another great talking point. | Aug 18 02:54 |
schestowitz | yes, because people who are carriers without realising it | Aug 18 02:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | If you're contagious for about 2 weeks after symptoms begin and you get a test and it takes that test 11 days to come back.... | Aug 18 02:54 |
schestowitz | like stopping all HIV testing | Aug 18 02:54 |
schestowitz | that would obviously help it spread widely | Aug 18 02:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | It does nothing for contact tracers if there even are any in your state. | Aug 18 02:54 |
schestowitz | those are useless | Aug 18 02:54 |
schestowitz | they MIGHT work when the cases are very few | Aug 18 02:55 |
schestowitz | like tracking one carrier who entered your airport | Aug 18 02:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, HIV testing only serves to keep a lid over it to an extent. | Aug 18 02:55 |
schestowitz | and even then it's hard to know who caught it and who did not | Aug 18 02:55 |
schestowitz | like, what? | Aug 18 02:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | We're still dealing with a scary number of people who don't know they have HIV and don't want to know. | Aug 18 02:55 |
schestowitz | you're going to contact every train passenger? | Aug 18 02:55 |
schestowitz | and then test all those passengers? | Aug 18 02:55 |
schestowitz | or force them all to stay home for a month? | Aug 18 02:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | That's never going to work. | Aug 18 02:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | And in New Jersey, they found that about half the people they talk to just hang up the phone on them. | Aug 18 02:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | This is the only time in my life I'll say this, so listen. | Aug 18 02:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | Do what Kentucky does. | Aug 18 02:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | They don't want to sign a quarantine, put them on monitored two week house arrest. | Aug 18 02:57 |
DaemonFC[m] | Kentucky has been acting more aggressively than Tennessee and has probably saved hundreds of lives because their quarantine isn't a suggestion. | Aug 18 02:58 |
schestowitz | [02:56] <DaemonFC[m]> This is the only time in my life I'll say this, so listen. | Aug 18 02:58 |
schestowitz | You make it sounds like some pearls of wisdom | Aug 18 02:59 |
DaemonFC[m] | Well, normally you don't say do what Kentucky is doing. | Aug 18 02:59 |
DaemonFC[m] | About anything, really. | Aug 18 02:59 |
DaemonFC[m] | Anyway, mom is skeptical when I use words and phrases she doesn't know. | Aug 18 02:59 |
DaemonFC[m] | I said "Oh he's pedantic." Or "That guy is a loose cannon." | Aug 18 03:00 |

schestowitz | I think he was an exchange student or something | Aug 18 03:51 |
schestowitz | I forgot the college's name | Aug 18 03:51 |
schestowitz | even when he spoke in Japan... not a single word utters in Nippon | Aug 18 03:51 |
schestowitz | he speaks Japanese like I 'speak' German | Aug 18 03:51 |
DaemonFC[m] | "I grew up around computers. | Aug 18 03:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | So did most people. | Aug 18 03:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | Make me the CEO. | Aug 18 03:57 |
schestowitz | yeah, remember how old he is | Aug 18 03:58 |
schestowitz | I got my first pc at age 5 or 6 | Aug 18 03:58 |
schestowitz | if you grew up with computers in the 1960s? Fine, good | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | rare | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | usually means you were wealthy though | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | not smart | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | but in 1970s and 80s now as impressive | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | so you see how he changes the subject to dad and grandpa | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | while admitting he has no technical training or education | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | nowadays he keeps a low profile | Aug 18 03:59 |
schestowitz | I suppose techrights has something to do with that.... but cannot prove it | Aug 18 04:00 |
schestowitz | our theory is | Aug 18 04:01 |
schestowitz | he claims BS | Aug 18 04:01 |
schestowitz | like Japanese | Aug 18 04:01 |
schestowitz | it has long been there in linkedin | Aug 18 04:01 |
schestowitz | I checked again whether he removed it | Aug 18 04:01 |
schestowitz | maybe he was some marketing exchange student | Aug 18 04:02 |
schestowitz | in the international college there | Aug 18 04:02 |
schestowitz | and picked up a few words and phrases there 25 or so years ago | Aug 18 04:02 |
schestowitz | but he'd not be talking japanese with anyone, certainly not his wife | Aug 18 04:02 |
schestowitz | who also claims to speak French, which I strongly doubt | Aug 18 04:02 |
schestowitz | but because he lacks merit and confidence in LF | Aug 18 04:02 |
schestowitz | that makes him easier to control | Aug 18 04:02 |
schestowitz | he cannot say "no" | Aug 18 04:03 |
schestowitz | he can be easily ousted at any time based on lack of qualifications | Aug 18 04:03 |
schestowitz | and this is good as leverage for corporations looking to dominate the kernel | Aug 18 04:03 |
schestowitz | they don't want strong leaders | Aug 18 04:03 |
schestowitz | they want to be the leaders themselves, by proxy | Aug 18 04:03 |
schestowitz | Zemlin is a weak, not assertive, proxy | Aug 18 04:03 |
schestowitz | he cannot even confront them based on legal or technical facts | Aug 18 04:04 |
schestowitz | as he grasps neither | Aug 18 04:04 |

DaemonFC[m] | The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeal's decision is there. | Aug 18 04:42 |
schestowitz | Significant, but overlooked GPL litigation in the US. | Aug 18 04:45 |
schestowitz | The court found that the GPL does not violate the Sherman Antitrust Act because the GPL encourages free competition, lowers costs for consumers, and increases innovation. | Aug 18 04:45 |
schestowitz | It also ordered him to pay the legal expenses for the Free Software Foundation. | Aug 18 04:45 |
schestowitz | (Possible Microsoft involvement? Like SCO?) | Aug 18 04:45 |
schestowitz | Groklaw on material on it | Aug 18 04:45 |
DaemonFC[m] | I recalled reading about this in 2006. | Aug 18 04:46 |
DaemonFC[m] | I thought the lawsuit was ridiculous. | Aug 18 04:46 |
schestowitz | I think there was another | Aug 18 04:47 |
DaemonFC[m] | Microsoft still dumps its products (charging too little or nothing) when it suits them, even though it cannot efficiently maintain such a practice. | Aug 18 04:47 |
DaemonFC[m] | That is predatory pricing. It creates a distorted opportunity cost comparison in the short term to extend the monopoly out to new areas, such as Azure. | Aug 18 04:47 |
*CrystalMath has quit (Quit: Support Richard Stallman and other victims of cancel culture! | https://sterling-archermedes.github.io/) | Aug 18 04:48 | |
DaemonFC[m] | If it ever forces competition for "cloud hosting" out or to one or two large competitors where they can make informal agreements to set prices high, that would run afoul of the Sherman Act too. | Aug 18 04:49 |
schestowitz | yeah | Aug 18 04:49 |
schestowitz | "Dumping" | Aug 18 04:49 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's clear that they want to end up there and they are big Trump supporters because he'll never stop them. | Aug 18 04:49 |
schestowitz | seems to pay off so far | Aug 18 04:49 |
schestowitz | and enough fools think Microsoft is "liberal" | Aug 18 04:49 |

DaemonFC[m] | I can't tell what he's up to. Upper middle class neighborhood. | Aug 18 05:39 |
schestowitz | why did he invest so much in attacking GPL? | Aug 18 05:39 |
schestowitz | I mean, what are the motivations? | Aug 18 05:39 |
DaemonFC[m] | His complaint said he wanted to develop an OS to compete with Linux. | Aug 18 05:39 |
DaemonFC[m] | Unlikely for a man in his 60s (at the time) working alone. | Aug 18 05:39 |
schestowitz | the kernel? | Aug 18 05:39 |
DaemonFC[m] | He went to a court and appealed it to an appeals court AND had to pay for the losing side, which had three law firms working on their defense. | Aug 18 05:40 |
schestowitz | what is his technical background? | Aug 18 05:40 |
DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "the kernel?"> The entire OS, he referred to as "Linux". | Aug 18 05:40 |
DaemonFC[m] | He claimed he was a software developer. | Aug 18 05:40 |
schestowitz | was he? | Aug 18 05:40 |
schestowitz | what did he develop and where? | Aug 18 05:40 |

DaemonFC[m] | Nothing substantial ever gets cleaned up. | Aug 18 14:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's well past time to force people off IE. It takes a substantial footprint in the OS while keeping unfixable security issues around. | Aug 18 14:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | They've literally removed features of DirectX that have chipped away at Windows XP compatibility but IE is a fixture. | Aug 18 14:56 |

DaemonFC[m] | Part of me says hey this could hurt me a lot and part says at least it won't have to be someone else. | Aug 18 14:59 |

DaemonFC[m] | Some people are sticking to pretending that this is not a catastrophe, like my mom. | Aug 18 15:01 |
DaemonFC[m] | The worst estimate of Chernobyl was that it directly killed hundreds and was a contributing factor in maybe 11,000 deaths. | Aug 18 15:02 |
DaemonFC[m] | Chernobyl pales to what the virus has done just in the US. | Aug 18 15:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | The only way in which this is better is that the virus won't be radioactive waste for eons. | Aug 18 15:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | If humans stop maintaining the dome for whatever reason, Chernobyl would just go right back to releasing radioactivity nearly as bad as it was in the 80s. | Aug 18 15:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's a disaster that will continue a long time after people, and yet I haven't seen documentary shows about what happens to the site after people. | Aug 18 15:05 |
