| IsambardPrince | He said "this is Piyush the Excellent Landlord". | Aug 19 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree what excellent landlord means. | Aug 19 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, I felt like I was living in a concentration camp where they wanted to come by with some Zyklon B to gas my apartment. | Aug 19 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't know what in the hell he would want from me after more than a year. | Aug 19 01:18 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: He said the next tenant was having mold growth issues and he ripped out the carpet and he wanted to know how I managed that. | Aug 19 02:16 |
| MinceR | aaaaaaaaaaand then? | Aug 19 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I told him "Well, it was very humid and dank in there and without a dehumidifier it would reach 86% Relative Humidity sometimes, so I had a big dehumidifier running every day and had to dump out the bucket every day." | Aug 19 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | "Most of the other apartments were $400-500 a month more so while it cost something to run the dehumidifier, it did not cost $400-500 more." | Aug 19 02:17 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | piyush would not chase you to offer you a job or money | Aug 19 04:17 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Piyush asked me how was I managing that unit. | Aug 19 04:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Because apparently humidity caused black mold to grow everywhere. | Aug 19 04:18 |
| IsambardPrince | And they had to rip into the subfloor because the new tenant went after him due to health problems. | Aug 19 04:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that's what roof leaks do | Aug 19 04:18 |
| IsambardPrince | The wall was leaking too. | Aug 19 04:18 |

| IsambardPrince | I said I wouldn't even want to guess at what the cause of that was. I had constant problems with humidity and dirty air the 5 years I lived there. | Aug 19 04:27 |
| IsambardPrince | But "all the other apartments in town were way more expensive". I said, "Finally the cockroach issue became too much to deal with that anymore. You could have cut our rent $300 and I wouldn't have stayed." | Aug 19 04:28 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | to the people "left behind" | Aug 19 04:30 |

| IsambardPrince | And "that's why Mark sold it". | Aug 19 04:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | :D | Aug 19 04:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and then it sank it | Aug 19 04:30 |

| IsambardPrince | That's not even the biggest problem, but that alone is not safe and habbitable. | Aug 19 04:35 |

| IsambardPrince | The landlord knows this is illegal. | Aug 19 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | One tenant had their ceiling fall in. | Aug 19 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | When they reviewed the landlord, with pictures, the landlord attempted to circumvent the RTLO by offering them $800 off their rent one time in exchange for signing a NDA on the side. | Aug 19 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | In Chicago and Cook County housing courts, if a tenant sues over an unabated dangerous condition like a structural ceiling cave-in, the RTLO authorizes the tenant to sue for up to two months' rent or actual economic damages (whichever is greater), plus 100% of their attorney fees and legal costs. | Aug 19 04:42 |
| IsambardPrince | For example, if your rent is $1500 a month, you could get $3000 plus court and attorney's costs. If the collapse destroyed more than $3000 worth of your things, you could get more. | Aug 19 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> When they reviewed the landlord, with pictures, the landlord attempted to circumvent the RTLO by offering them $800 | Aug 19 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | upload photo, get money :) | Aug 19 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but yes, NDAs are not eenforceable | Aug 19 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not sure if they can have him fined for it | Aug 19 04:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in a civil case or complaint | Aug 19 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: The ceiling collapse would net them $3,000 plus the landlord would pay for their attorney and court costs. | Aug 19 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | So the tenant walks away with $3000 and the management company also has to pay the lawyer like $2500 on top of that, and $300 for filing and service. | Aug 19 04:45 |
| IsambardPrince | So they tried to stick out an $800 bribe to save themselves from $5800 liability. | Aug 19 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | seems cheap | Aug 19 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | my solicitorr years ago told me, | Aug 19 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in the us, the courts cost a lot | Aug 19 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and attorneys are a lot cheaper | Aug 19 04:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, suing a landlord over a ceiling collapse is probably 5 hours or less. | Aug 19 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | here it is the opposite | Aug 19 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | our attorney rate was like $700/hr | Aug 19 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean the judge looks at some pictures. | Aug 19 04:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but sstill | Aug 19 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | The landlord answers some questions under oath. | Aug 19 04:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it''s not just writing words | Aug 19 04:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it always takes longer than you expect | Aug 19 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, whatever it is. | Aug 19 04:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i spent years as litigant in person | Aug 19 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | The management company pays that and $3000 | Aug 19 04:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | apropos bad reviews online | Aug 19 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It can turn into a big headache that completely wipes that year's lease profits. | Aug 19 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | one "service" the puppy breaker lawyer offer is | Aug 19 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | stuff like removing negatgive reviews | Aug 19 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they even tried to deplatform whole sites | Aug 19 04:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | they are basically crazy | Aug 19 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like the puppy breaker | Aug 19 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They try to get bad google reviews taken down due to "policy violations". | Aug 19 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They say you "only pay if it gets deleted". | Aug 19 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you don't talk to people like that, you show the world what they are | Aug 19 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Hae you tried not getting bad reviews? | Aug 19 04:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | did he also sign NDA with Isis? | Aug 19 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Aug 19 04:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | reminder:" | Aug 19 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Those apartments Piyush invests in are all "distressed", he even says it himself. | Aug 19 04:48 |

| IsambardPrince | I bleached the tank out every few days when I dumped it. | Aug 19 04:49 |
| IsambardPrince | It killed the spores, mostly. | Aug 19 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yeah | Aug 19 04:51 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | not sure what he can do with that dump now | Aug 19 04:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Piyushβs new tenant isn't "dirty" they are simply a normal consumer who isn't spending hours of weekly personal labor running a miniature toxic waste containment facility to cover up a slumlord's structural failure. | Aug 19 04:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it seems of no real worth | Aug 19 04:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and he will pretend "this is fine!" | Aug 19 04:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it mighht cost him more to have tenants | Aug 19 04:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | than none at all | Aug 19 04:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if all he gets for it in trouble | Aug 19 04:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if he somehow got rid of the severe roach infestation, he'd still have at least 20 other problems with that building that are that bad or worse. | Aug 19 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | The millions of roaches are thriving because of the advanced state of decay the building is in. | Aug 19 04:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so they are a symmptom | Aug 19 04:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not the core issue | Aug 19 04:54 |
| IsambardPrince | They are. | Aug 19 04:54 |

| IsambardPrince | The core problem is things like broken plumbing and leaking roofs, and lack of proper sealant of gaps and cracks. | Aug 19 04:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The entire building would have to be condemned and demolished. | Aug 19 04:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or rredone | Aug 19 04:55 |
| IsambardPrince | What his investors are actually sitting on is a building that's worth less than the land it sits on. | Aug 19 04:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The foundation is bad. | Aug 19 04:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that';s why they ruin this: | Aug 19 04:56 |

| IsambardPrince | The wall next to my window in the livingroom was cracking in half. | Aug 19 04:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they demolished it this month | Aug 19 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Because the foundation was cracked. | Aug 19 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Foundation cracks cost a lot to repair. There's so many problems in that building that it would be cheaper to knock it over and make a new building. | Aug 19 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | When they made that building back in the 1970s, they did not use proper construction methods. | Aug 19 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Even for the time. | Aug 19 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | They literally hooked up the sewage connections to a pump that belonged to a farm in 1921. | Aug 19 04:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Without that pump to take sewage to the street level, it backs up raw sewage into the building through the toilets and bathtubs. | Aug 19 04:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Ask me how I know. | Aug 19 04:59 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: That building was like the place that poor family lived in, in the movie Parasite. | Aug 19 04:59 |
| IsambardPrince | The only reason my toilet and bathtub didn't back up with raw sewage including urine and shit, is because the other building was closer to the pump. | Aug 19 04:59 |
| IsambardPrince | He had people who had raw sewage back up into their apartments. | Aug 19 05:00 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Nothing wrong with the current ones except they aren't expensive and enshittified enough. | Aug 19 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | So they do mRNA now. | Aug 19 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | A normal flu shot costs $29-42 without insurance. | Aug 19 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | The mRNA one increases that cost to almost $200. | Aug 19 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | So you see why they do it. | Aug 19 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | They start out by approving it on the elderly because they devalue the lives of old people anyway. | Aug 19 06:50 |
| IsambardPrince | They're past the prime working years if something bad happens. | Aug 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i see | Aug 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | well, nhs might be less susceptible to this | Aug 19 06:50 |
| IsambardPrince | And they get Medicare to pay for it when private insurers want the cost-effective option. | Aug 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it is more cost-aware | Aug 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for instance, blood pressure checks | Aug 19 06:50 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Many Walmart employees say this thing is bothering them on their ME@Walmart app. | Aug 19 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Sending them hundreds of alerts that do not even apply to their department. | Aug 19 06:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | will add | Aug 19 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a whole lot of me too in retail right now. | Aug 19 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Because there's too many companies chasing too few customers that have discretionary income. | Aug 19 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Speaking for our budget, we can only get by because I scuttled the car. Because I very carefully coupon and shop sales. | Aug 19 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Because we waste nothing. | Aug 19 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Because I have even started cutting out pre-packaged consumables for things like cleaning supplies. I can make my own cleaning formulas. Use rags instead of paper towels, wash the rags. | Aug 19 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | I use resale shops and thrift stores. | Aug 19 06:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like old diapers | Aug 19 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, I use Amazon sometimes, sometimes, but it's not often, and usually not for big stuff. | Aug 19 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | The money simply doesn't exist, and I'm not the only one. | Aug 19 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | We're living in an era of extreme corporate greed where they want to fire everyone and pay almost nothing to the people who are left. | Aug 19 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | And they want twice as much work out of those people. | Aug 19 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So there's not many people who have "excess money" anymore. | Aug 19 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Debt works until it does not work. | Aug 19 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Once you start spending more money than you make you have between 1-6 years before it's terminal and you go bankrupt. | Aug 19 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | You get locked out of bankruptcy court for 8 years, but most people who file once will file again. They need it 3-4 years after the first one, but they have to agonize and learn how to exist without the banking system until the 8 years are up. | Aug 19 07:01 |

| IsambardPrince | I was watching the remake of The Toxic Avenger where Peter Dinklage finds out he has brain tumors and the doctor says there's an experimental procedure. He calls his insurer and they say yes you have the platinum plan, and it excludes the gold plan's coverages. He goes "but it's platinum", and the woman says "exactly, you didn't sign up for the co-tiers", and he says "I don't even know what any of this means." | Aug 19 16:01 |
| IsambardPrince | It's funny because that's exactly how health insurance works. They come up with "metal levels" and nobody knows what those mean so they just sign up for something and then find out it doesn't cover that specialist, or those procedures, or that medicine. | Aug 19 16:01 |
| IsambardPrince | How do they keep the premiums down? Oh that's what the $12,000 deductibles and prescription plan that only covers things that are on the $4 list achieves. You can only go to one hospital without prior approval and it's the one that got an F. | Aug 19 16:01 |

| IsambardPrince | I noticed there's more PTS hours since all those datacenters went in. | Aug 19 19:27 |
| IsambardPrince | You used to get 2-3 PTS days during summer and usually only on days where the temperature went over 90. | Aug 19 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | The electric company offers you like $1 per kilowatt hour you save, so they can turn around and sell it at commercial prices to a datacenter. | Aug 19 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | The power companies like datacenters. | Aug 19 19:29 |
| IsambardPrince | They're not only an electric hog, they pay commercial rates for it. | Aug 19 19:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Right now they are drawing about 1.2 gigawatts out of the ComEd grid continuously. | Aug 19 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | But this is forecast to increase to about 4 gigawatts. | Aug 19 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | There's just not that much power in the system. | Aug 19 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | France is a pathetic failure of a country. | Aug 19 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | What the hell sort of a failed "modern" country lets 6,000 people die in a heat wave and then says stupid nonsense like "individual air conditioning is a scourge"? | Aug 19 19:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | france | Aug 19 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Their shitty Socialist party, which has failed them and left 6,000 French to die because they can't get an air conditioner even if they have money (which is hard given that the government has made unemployment and super high living costs the default there), they have to scapegoat America, where this doesn't really happen. | Aug 19 19:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i wrote this before i scrolled up | Aug 19 19:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you already said "france" | Aug 19 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | We didn't cause 6,000 French people to die in a heatwave. | Aug 19 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Their own government did and they don't want to "take the heat". | Aug 19 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | They're using Anti-American bias which is common among the French, to try to deflect from a domestic policy crisis that has a body count. | Aug 19 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They're being institutionally gaslit by their own government. | Aug 19 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | And it only works if the French people are dumb enough to think Americans had anything to do with no air conditioners for sale in French shops and a failed French power grid. | Aug 19 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | It got fucking ugly in Paris, people were beating each other up trying to fight over 1 air conditioner. It turned into riots and brawls. | Aug 19 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Very civilized brawls, you know. | Aug 19 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | "Give me the fucking air conditioner you fucking fuck!" Then you know, a donnybrook. | Aug 19 19:37 |

| IsambardPrince | When the indoor temperature hits unendurable baselines, the public panics. Money loses its utility because there is no inventory left to buy. The remaining physical assets become so highly valued that citizens actively riot in retail aisles, reducing a modern metropolis to raw survival of the fittest. | Aug 19 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | And that's another thing. So what were all these haughty French politicians that hate Americans and think air conditioning is a scourge doing during the heat wave? | Aug 19 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | You mean to tell me that they're not air conditioning the Presidential Palace? | Aug 19 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | The administrative elite expects the average senior citizen to sit in an 110-degree, unventilated top-floor Parisian flat and have a heat stroke on "principle," while they sit behind thick stone walls breathing crisp, mechanically chilled air subsidized entirely by public taxes. | Aug 19 19:43 |

| IsambardPrince | Then they blamed Americans for having high emissions. So do the French. | Aug 19 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of Western Europe phased out nuclear power and went back to burning coal or made deals to prop up Russia buying natural gas. | Aug 19 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Air conditioning in America is not causing a heat wave anywhere in the world. | Aug 19 19:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Air conditioning is less than 7% of all power consumption in the United States, for about 3 months of the year. | Aug 19 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Europe is gas rationing now too because it's not cheap now that they don't want to be seen directly funding Putin's war. | Aug 19 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | So it gets cold I'm sure. | Aug 19 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | That's probably our fault too. | Aug 19 19:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Really, I mean it's kind of everyone's fault for the shape the world is in. | Aug 19 19:51 |
| IsambardPrince | There are reasons foreign governments prop up the US Dollar and it's not because they love Americans and think we're awesome. | Aug 19 19:51 |
| IsambardPrince | It's because they want to keep feeding off of us. | Aug 19 19:51 |
| IsambardPrince | If the Dollar collapses, they don't have an export market. So they have to prop up their customer otherwise they lose politically at home when all those people become unemployed. | Aug 19 19:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's not that simple | Aug 19 19:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Then once they have the Dollars, they have a different problem. | Aug 19 19:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | france has nukes, nuclear energy | Aug 19 19:52 |
| IsambardPrince | If they do anything to weaken the Dollar, it sucks the purchase power out of the ones they have left. | Aug 19 19:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in many ways, with EU, it is self-sufficent | Aug 19 19:52 |
| IsambardPrince | So they have to find something denominated in US Dollars to buy. | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but it would be wealthier if it keeps its island and african colonies | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the us is "rich" | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but in an odd way | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | liuke you mentioned before | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | very lopsided | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to you, impossible job application paths | Aug 19 19:53 |
| IsambardPrince | It's extremely lopsided. | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and some sergey brin, born in moscow, spends 102 million dollars lobbying in cali alone | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to avoid paying tax | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 102 ml | Aug 19 19:53 |
| IsambardPrince | The vast majority end the month out with no money and making "struggle meals" based on whatever's cheap and left in the cabinets. | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he could donate to charities | Aug 19 19:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but no | Aug 19 19:54 |
| IsambardPrince | And then we have a few people like Gates, Musk, or Bezos. | Aug 19 19:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | pay some asshats to protect you from paying your share | Aug 19 19:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Illinois has different problems than Indiana. | Aug 19 19:54 |
| IsambardPrince | I wouldn't say one is inherently better than another. | Aug 19 19:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: "U 'JUS' JEALES" | Aug 19 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Thee economic outlook and jobs situation is bad in both states. | Aug 19 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The taxes and rent are lower in Indiana, but so are the wages, and you must own a car. | Aug 19 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | So there goes all the savings. | Aug 19 19:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and cars got more pricey | Aug 19 19:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and they last fewer years | Aug 19 19:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so the average per year is also up | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we mentioned it here the other day | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i gforgot the context | Aug 19 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | In Indiana, they get out ahead of federal deadlines to cut people off from food and healthcare, while Illinois tries harder to make sure people are eating and have some medical care. | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we saw some car with an issue | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and i said | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "there go some months of salaries" | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you can tell the bill estimate | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when it's some brand like BMW | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at least 2k | Aug 19 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Like if the feds pass a law that says the deadline to end enhanced food stamp benefits is September 1st, Indiana will do it in June. | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and average pay leaves you with very little saved per month | Aug 19 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Even though it's federal money that doesn't cost them anything. | Aug 19 19:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even without having any kids | Aug 19 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It's sort of the "politics of meanness". | Aug 19 19:57 |
| IsambardPrince | So the people at the bottom have absolutely no help from the government and go ahead and fall over. | Aug 19 19:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "try harder, chuck!" | Aug 19 19:57 |
| IsambardPrince | That's Indiana. | Aug 19 19:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | like "pizza" for pedos | Aug 19 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So you have all these poor people in church. | Aug 19 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not because they believe. | Aug 19 19:59 |

| IsambardPrince | Something like you can have pie in the sky when you die. | Aug 19 20:00 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | not just the meds | Aug 19 20:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but the vetys | Aug 19 20:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or pet insurance | Aug 19 20:01 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | (breads) | Aug 19 20:02 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Pet insurance is basically a scam. | Aug 19 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's abovbe incident ptice | Aug 19 20:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it is sold as "peace of mind" | Aug 19 20:03 |
| IsambardPrince | You donate your money to a company, in turn they have their lawyers write up a contract designed to fuck you. | Aug 19 20:03 |
| IsambardPrince | And give you less of it back. | Aug 19 20:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like shops that sell extended warranty | Aug 19 20:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes. | Aug 19 20:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in know some who took it | Aug 19 20:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for appliances | Aug 19 20:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and for pets | Aug 19 20:03 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a credit card called Nibbles that has a very basic skimpy policy that comes with the card. | Aug 19 20:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you look at the price | Aug 19 20:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then you estimate cost of surgery | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for a cat | Aug 19 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | But then there's all these paid add-ons if you want it to cover anything. | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and how many years between necessaity of it | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and how much paperwork | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then you go full luigi | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | f* it, i will pay whenm s* happens | Aug 19 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Then you look at this and realize you're paying over $800 a year for something that has a $900 deductible and then only pays out 70% of "approved claims". | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | car insurance is obligatory | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you know why | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are some good reasons | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but some premium coverage is not mandatory | Aug 19 20:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like if someone bangs your car when you are parked | Aug 19 20:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | people don't read fine prints | Aug 19 20:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So you're like $1700 in the hole before it might pay 70%. | Aug 19 20:05 |
| IsambardPrince | After you pay them $1700 a year guaranteed. | Aug 19 20:05 |
| IsambardPrince | And then it pays 70% of covered claims, whatever those are, after that. | Aug 19 20:05 |
| IsambardPrince | And you still pay 30%. | Aug 19 20:05 |
| *admfubar has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Aug 19 20:05 | |
| IsambardPrince | And whatever gets denied. | Aug 19 20:05 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: A typical vet visit costs like $200-300, maybe $500 if they run more tests. | Aug 19 20:06 |
| IsambardPrince | The insurance doesn't cover any medicine they prescribe. | Aug 19 20:06 |
| IsambardPrince | So that's still out of pocket if you have to pill the cat. | Aug 19 20:06 |
| *Righty has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Aug 19 20:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | The insurance turns an "I might go broke because of this thing." into an "I will go broke and then I have to hope insurance covers it because I now have no money at all." | Aug 19 20:07 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I was talking to someone from the property management about when they would send the exterminator. | Aug 19 20:08 |
| IsambardPrince | I said "Roaches are a building problem. One person brings them then they're in." | Aug 19 20:09 |
| IsambardPrince | "They migrate from apartment to apartment." | Aug 19 20:09 |
| IsambardPrince | "If someone is living like pigs and they're breeding like crazy, then everyone near that unit has an even bigger problem." | Aug 19 20:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yes, i suppose | Aug 19 20:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i never saw a roach here | Aug 19 20:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | if not out of time | Aug 19 20:18 |
| IsambardPrince | All the delivery apps have an explainer that if you offer no tip or a bad one, or someone else offers a better one, it will take you longer to get your order. | Aug 19 20:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i seee | Aug 19 20:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i never used that | Aug 19 20:18 |
| IsambardPrince | They slowly increase the base rate by like 50 cents every time a driver rejects it. | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i don't use "apps" | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if i weant to eat something, then i prepare it | Aug 19 20:19 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you don't leave a tip you might have to wait all day before it's worth taking. | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you did that gig before | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | did they pay flat rate | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | salary? | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | back then? | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or was it already gig economy-like bs? | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and i bet they doidn't [pay for your cat upkeep | Aug 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | only petrol | Aug 19 20:19 |
| IsambardPrince | They start out like $5-6 usually. | Aug 19 20:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *car | Aug 19 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | If you don't tip at least $10 you're not getting your order | Aug 19 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | If you don't tip at least $20 you'll get it, but slower than the guy that paid more. | Aug 19 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | At least that's how it works locally. | Aug 19 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | If you don't leave anything, what happens is the app offers it, but only for base pay. | Aug 19 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | do you use android? | Aug 19 20:21 |
| IsambardPrince | After 10-15 drivers reject it, the app dials up the base pay enough that it essentially becomes desirable. | Aug 19 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i lost touch with android | Aug 19 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i has an android device well over a decade ago | Aug 19 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i developed for android | Aug 19 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as a postdoc | Aug 19 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | several applications | Aug 19 20:21 |
| IsambardPrince | The gig app will eventually make up for no tip or lousy tip. | Aug 19 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | But very slowly. | Aug 19 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | And by then the food is cold and gets to you two hours later. | Aug 19 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | soy uo deletee the "app" | Aug 19 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | download another | Aug 19 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and start with neutral karma | Aug 19 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Karma doesn't really matter much on food apps. | Aug 19 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | how so? | Aug 19 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | zero karma = enigma | Aug 19 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "risk" | Aug 19 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Not tipping enough to be worth driving from the restaurant is often the problem, and the apps themselves make it more of a problem. | Aug 19 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "just da tip!!" | Aug 19 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | For example there may be a five guys burgers and fries 5 blocks down. | Aug 19 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | But then the app doesn't tell the customer where it's at, they assume. | Aug 19 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so go buy it | Aug 19 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 5 blocks down | Aug 19 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | fresh | Aug 19 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Then it's the one that's 8 miles away in another city. | Aug 19 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ordering might take a few mins | Aug 19 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | talking might be 5-10 mins | Aug 19 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *walking and talking\ | Aug 19 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you can eat on the way back while it is still warm and fresh | Aug 19 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so it beats the point | Aug 19 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | of all this "app" frenzy | Aug 19 20:24 |
| IsambardPrince | So obviously, even if you toss in a $10-20 tip, if gas is so expensive and the traffic is backed up, maybe nobody wants to drive 8 miles with it. | Aug 19 20:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Even for $20. So it's possible no tip is a sufficient amount. | Aug 19 20:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Apps have ways of eventually getting your order to you. | Aug 19 20:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Dialing up the base rate every reject is only one. | Aug 19 20:25 |
| IsambardPrince | They can also mask that the driver is picking up multiple orders. | Aug 19 20:25 |
| IsambardPrince | So the driver might see "Head to Jewel, you will make $40." | Aug 19 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no delivery neutrality then | Aug 19 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's the same with Locums here | Aug 19 20:26 |
| IsambardPrince | What they don't see is that $35 of that came from a very generous guy with a larger order, and $5 of it came from some tightwad along the way who just wanted beer and a chicken. | Aug 19 20:26 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | not sure what the us equiv is | Aug 19 20:26 |

| *Righty has quit (connection closed) | Aug 19 20:26 | |

| *Righty (~Username@fezuqr5z4z5pi.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 19 20:27 | |
| IsambardPrince | So I mean, are lower/no tips ethical? | Aug 19 20:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, I don't *always* tip. | Aug 19 20:27 |
| IsambardPrince | It depends on if I care when it arrives or not. | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | depends | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | on where | Aug 19 20:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Case in point. | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i was told in wash/arlingto n(VA) you MUST tip in pubs | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | which to brits is... strange | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we never do... we are discouraged from doing so | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | unlike places where you eat | Aug 19 20:28 |
| IsambardPrince | If I just want two cases of beer that went on sale, what I do is $0 tip, then I just let it sit there until 20 drivers reject it and then someone picks it up and gets $13-14 from the app. | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you don't tip bartenders here | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you might have a jar for tips | Aug 19 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but if you give gift to the "pretty lady" behind the counter she might think you're some "horny bastard" | Aug 19 20:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in the us, they give a face | Aug 19 20:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you don't | Aug 19 20:29 |
| IsambardPrince | You can work the app's base rate to your advantage. | Aug 19 20:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they always need to remind us | Aug 19 20:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bars = tip every time | Aug 19 20:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | don't be some "auslander" | Aug 19 20:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah. | Aug 19 20:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | must tip for booze | Aug 19 20:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they also drive on other side off road | Aug 19 20:30 |
| IsambardPrince | What I do at bars is I look at what the drink specials are and drink that. | Aug 19 20:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and look opps. direction wehen crossing | Aug 19 20:30 |
| IsambardPrince | If you get a $5 20 ounce draft beer and it's Sam Adams, then go for that if the other ones are like $8. | Aug 19 20:30 |
| *\join_podcast (~join_podcast@59sxcwh9gjvaq.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 19 20:31 | |
| IsambardPrince | They always have $5 Sam Adams specials where we go sometimes. | Aug 19 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Because they always order too much of the seasonal one for the last season. | Aug 19 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they need to use it up. | Aug 19 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Aug 19 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | So you're getting last season's beer, but it's still good. | Aug 19 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Pair it with a half-price pizza on Monday or half-price burgers on Thursday. | Aug 19 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I don't like tipping honestly. | Aug 19 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | If I have two options for restaurants and I know one of them is no-tip expected/allowed, we almost always choose that one. | Aug 19 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Why should I have to pay for a meal and then after this place gouges the fuck out of me for that, I also have to pay their worker that they aren't payin'? | Aug 19 20:33 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, it's ridiculous. | Aug 19 20:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Every screen has a tip on it now. | Aug 19 20:33 |
| IsambardPrince | We went to Al's Beef yesterday where it was like $40 for two people, and no table service. | Aug 19 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The thing wanted a tip so I did my usual no tip, enter real quick. | Aug 19 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, what am I tipping these people for? They make more money than I do for starters, and it's not even the regular minimum wage, they're making over $20 an hour back there to run a cash register and assemble sandwiches. | Aug 19 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I get that it's repetitive but it's basically like asking your broke customers to tip the staff that's better paid than the customers are. | Aug 19 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just so vulgar. | Aug 19 20:37 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: My bait strategy seems to be working. | Aug 19 22:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I told the property manager I used gel on th cabinet hinges where my cat can't get it. | Aug 19 22:40 |
| IsambardPrince | But for bait stations, I went expensive, cheap, expensive, cheap all through the house. The Advion is pro-grade but the Combat Max is cheaper and the poison kills them a different way. | Aug 19 22:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I want to make sure that roaches that can survive one can't survive them all. | Aug 19 22:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And the sticky traps will physically catch and hold many of the rest. | Aug 19 22:41 |
| IsambardPrince | You have to turn the place into a death trap for roaches. | Aug 19 22:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think I've caught anything in like 4 days now. | Aug 19 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm not going to let up though. I'll be leaving most of the sticky trap emplacements and bait stations after I haven't seen any for a while. | Aug 19 22:42 |
