IsambardPrinceWe're back to flash memory for game storage.Aug 21 00:18
IsambardPrinceEven the best optical drives were very very slow.Aug 21 00:18
IsambardPrinceThe Xbox 360 had an "optional" hard drive, but if you didn't have one, the games loaded much slower. It caches many of the game's frequently used assets to the disk so that load times will go down. It can read off the DVD and push it to the drive ahead of where the load point would be.Aug 21 00:19

IsambardPrinceThe Advion is definitely getting chewed up by the roaches. There must have been a serious problem in the apartments next to mine and in the walls. They depleted two of my stations and I had to move some from less active areas in the apartment to cover those high traffic zones.Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrince Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrinceI ordered two more bags of Advion Arenas from Amazon. I don't want to spray down a contact killer just yet, because I want to wait for the roaches to finish gorging themselves on the Advion gel and taking it back to kill off their friends (1 poisoned roach can kill up to 72 others in the walls, and it looks like dozens of roaches were eating off each of those stations.Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrince Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrinceOnce their eating goes down, I'm going to lock and load with some MGK Onslaught diluted in water to the proper ratio (shake the Onslaught concentrate, pour it in, fill with the correct amount of water) and a sprayer and I'm going to go through the house doing the baseboards, including emptying out the closets. I'm going to sequester the cat in the bedroom for about 2-3 hours to let the Onslaught dry on the baseboards. Once we've done Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrincethat, most of the remaining Arenas will go up in the cabinets where I've already been doing Terro gel.Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrince Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrinceI want to seriously screw up their colonies, then do the spraying to stop roaches from getting back in here from the pig next door. I'll also spray straight down the radiator holes in the floor and the water inlets under the sinks. Aug 21 00:48
IsambardPrinceHmm, MinceRAug 21 00:54
IsambardPrinceI got some loss leader beer at the store today.Aug 21 00:54
IsambardPrinceI've never had Miller High Life but it was so cheap I grabbed some.Aug 21 00:54
IsambardPrinceDefinitely not what I'm used to.Aug 21 00:54

IsambardPrinceI'm surprised Coors Banquet scored lower than Miller High Life on Beer Advocate. I definitely like Banquet more. There's something of an unpleasant metallic taste to Miller High Life that is not there in Banquet. Banquet is also a darker beer with more barley flavor.Aug 21 01:01
IsambardPrinceMiller bases High Life heavily on corn grits.Aug 21 01:01
IsambardPrinceThere's something to be said for High Life though. It does have a lot of carbonation and a pleasant color, and a "mineral water" taste to it.Aug 21 01:02
IsambardPrinceHigh Life isn't horrible. The slight metallic taste is almost  imperceptible but definitely there.Aug 21 01:02
IsambardPrinceThat's apparently an artifact of the type of hops they're using in High Life.Aug 21 01:02
IsambardPrinceIt's called Tetra-Hop.Aug 21 01:02
IsambardPrincehttps://yakimavalleyhops.com/products/tetrahop-goldAug 21 01:03
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-yakimavalleyhops.com | Tetrahop – Yakima Valley HopsAug 21 01:03
IsambardPrinceIt's a variety of hop that is less prone to skunking when you use it in a beer packaged in clear or green bottles.Aug 21 01:04
IsambardPrinceHigh Life would probably taste better if they switched from Tetrahop to the same hops Coors is using in their beer that comes in dark bottles.Aug 21 01:04
IsambardPrinceAs much as I hate all things Europe, they actually did get a few things right.Aug 21 01:07
IsambardPrinceMostly the alcohol.Aug 21 01:07
IsambardPrinceBecause if you live in Europe you'll need to be mildly drunk all the time to tolerate it.Aug 21 01:07
IsambardPrinceCoors Banquet is probably the most "German-style" American macro brew that I've encountered that goes on sale regularly at a fair price at the supermarket.Aug 21 01:09
IsambardPrinceI think the most horrid American macrobrews are actually Budweiser or anything owned by Anheusher-Busch for that matter.Aug 21 01:10
MinceRhow do you tolerate living under the Pedophile King?Aug 21 01:11
IsambardPrinceGonad the Barbarian knocked back Budweisers all day every day.Aug 21 01:11
IsambardPrinceProbably the only reason he could stand it is he ruined his pallette with chain smoking.Aug 21 01:11
IsambardPrinceUntil he couldn't even taste anything but salt anymore.Aug 21 01:11
IsambardPrinceBudweiser leans heavily on rice.Aug 21 01:12
IsambardPrinceIt's the same reason I hate Japanese beer.Aug 21 01:12
IsambardPrinceI don't like Sapporo beer, but I do like sake, especially the flavored ones, especially Yuzu.Aug 21 01:13
IsambardPrinceI grabbed some New Amsterdam vodka at Target today. They had two 1.75 liter bottles marked half off.Aug 21 01:17
IsambardPrinceThe only civilized use for vodka is to mix two shots of it in with a 16 ounce glass of unpasteurized fresh orance juice and call it a double.Aug 21 01:17
IsambardPrinceIt's the dirt cheap way to get properly fucked.Aug 21 01:18
IsambardPrinceNew Amsterdam has been my go to since it debuted in the big box stores about a decade ago.Aug 21 01:18
IsambardPrinceMost of the other relatively cheap vodkas, or as I call them "Boomer Vodka" is not neutral, it has a taste and it is NOT pleasant.Aug 21 01:19
IsambardPrinceIn high-end spirits like whiskey or dark beer, certain congeners are desirable because they provide flavor complexity. In vodka, they are an absolute disaster. They create that harsh, rubbing-alcohol burn, a medicinal chemical taste, and a brutal morning hangover.Aug 21 01:27
IsambardPrince[19:11] <MinceR> how do you tolerate living under the Pedophile King?Aug 21 01:49
IsambardPrinceTwo beers and a half a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey seems to do it for a few hours.Aug 21 01:50
MinceRicAug 21 01:52
MinceRso the same method you hypothesize in europe :>Aug 21 01:52
IsambardPrinceMinceR: With ice cream.Aug 21 01:55
MinceRi scream, you scream, we all scream for ice creamAug 21 01:56
IsambardPrinceHmmm. I wonder. How common is it to encounter English-speakers in the country formerly known as Orbanistan?Aug 21 01:56

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: STATE OF ILL considers carbon sequestration to be green energy.Aug 21 20:57
IsambardPrinceIt's not.Aug 21 20:57
IsambardPrinceYou have an expensive underground pipeline of highly pressurized CO2.Aug 21 20:57
IsambardPrinceIf the line ruptures, then it can displace the oxygen for miles around the line, and potentially kill people and animals via asphyxiation.Aug 21 20:58
IsambardPrinceIf it works perfectly, the carbon gets to an underground storage site, like a nearly depleted oil well.Aug 21 20:58
IsambardPrinceSo that's cool, right? Well, maybe.Aug 21 20:58
IsambardPrinceNow you're pressurizing that underground void. It may start leaking into the atmosphere, in which case you aren't sequestering it. Aug 21 20:59
IsambardPrinceIt can put pressure on a fault line and cause earthquakes. Those are bad.Aug 21 20:59
IsambardPrinceIt can also push oil out of that nearly depleted well and make the last 10-15 feasible to recover.Aug 21 20:59

IsambardPrinceIn February 2020, a carbon dioxide pipeline ruptured in Satartia, Mississippi.Aug 21 21:01
IsambardPrinceBecause CO2 is odorless, colorless, and significantly heavier than oxygen, it settled low to the ground and blanketed the town. It displaced the oxygen, suffocating combustion engines (cars literally died on the road) and left over 40 people hospitalized with severe asphyxiation symptoms.Aug 21 21:02
IsambardPrinceExpanding a massive network of these highly pressurized pipelines across Illinois agricultural lands introduces a permanent, invisible safety threat to rural communities.Aug 21 21:02
IsambardPrinceIn that one incident in 2020, 45 people nearly died because of one pipeline rupturing.Aug 21 21:03
IsambardPrinceAnd they want to build thousands of these, all over the place, so that they can run LLMs on fossil fuels.Aug 21 21:03

IsambardPrinceComfortable people can't be threatened into working for nearly nothing.Aug 21 21:05

schestowitz[TR2]what you talk of increases crimeAug 21 21:06
schestowitz[TR2]and crime is not good for businessAug 21 21:06
schestowitz[TR2]so they need to make wayAug 21 21:06
schestowitz[TR2]something's gotta gievAug 21 21:06
IsambardPrinceIt's not, but here's the kicker.Aug 21 21:06
IsambardPrinceThey just spend all the money that could be used solving the root causes of crime.Aug 21 21:06
IsambardPrinceAnd expand mass surveillance and policing.Aug 21 21:06
IsambardPrinceThey pass new Organized Retail Theft laws.Aug 21 21:06
IsambardPrinceThey make the middle class and poor pay to jail poor people with no jobs for wiping out the diapers and Tide at Target to sell on the black market.Aug 21 21:07
IsambardPrinceInstead of fixing it, they just make poor people pay tax to jail other poor people who got desperate and had to operate outside the law for money.Aug 21 21:07
IsambardPrinceStealing Tide and baby diapers is tne new "20 years in prison for stealing bread".Aug 21 21:08
IsambardPrinceThey're not stealing Tide and baby diapers to eat Tide and baby diapers.Aug 21 21:08
IsambardPrinceThey sell them on a street corner or to a bodega in the wrong side of town that doesn't care where they got ittAug 21 21:09
IsambardPrinceThen they use the money to buy food and pay their slumlord.Aug 21 21:09
IsambardPrinceSo it's the same thing as stealing bread.Aug 21 21:09
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: There's a reason why everyone on Unemployment Income tries to delay finding another job until they're almost out of UI checks. If the government extends UI for 2 years, they try to stay on it for 2 years.Aug 21 21:10
IsambardPrinceWhen they're on UI they have money coming in.Aug 21 21:10
IsambardPrinceIt's not as good as their paycheck, but now they have money and time.Aug 21 21:11
IsambardPrinceMoney and time and a lot of their expenses (like transportation to work) go away.Aug 21 21:11
IsambardPrinceThey realize that they're spending so much to get to work and back and all of these "invisible taxes on being too worn out to do things yourself" that there was no value in the work, relative to their UI check.Aug 21 21:12
IsambardPrinceWhen you subtract the "invisible taxes" of working from a low-to-moderate paycheck, the net financial difference between working a toxic job and staying on UI is often shockingly small. The worker realizes they are essentially selling 160 hours of their life a month for a microscopic financial gain.Aug 21 21:13
IsambardPrinceIn some cases the paycheck can be double what UI pays and they're still no better off.Aug 21 21:14
IsambardPrinceBecause the government takes away their food stamps and Medicaid and energy assistance, and tells them to pay another $500 a month to deal with it themselves.Aug 21 21:14
IsambardPrinceTaxes go way up.Aug 21 21:15
IsambardPrinceThey have to pay for gas, which is noww over $5 a gallon thanks to Trump's war.Aug 21 21:16
IsambardPrinceOr a commuter pass.Aug 21 21:16
IsambardPrinceThey have to buy work clothes to look the part, they have to carefully groom themselves.Aug 21 21:16
IsambardPrinceIf they toss those work clothes in the washing machines at their apartment complex and a neighbor left something greasy in the machine, they can't wear a bundle of work clothes where each piece got a grease spot that didn't come out. They just lost $600 worth of laundry.Aug 21 21:17
IsambardPrinceWhen gas prices surge, it acts as a direct, regressive tax on the working class. Unlike corporate executives who can work from home or absorb the cost easily, hourly and in-person workers have no choice but to pay that  just to show up to the floor of a job that did not increase their pay a single penny to help out with that.Aug 21 21:18
IsambardPrince If a person making $200,000 a year has to spend an extra $100 a month on fuel, it represents 0.05% of their income. If an hourly worker making $30,000 a year faces that same $100 increase, it cuts a 4% hole straight out of their take-home pay.Aug 21 21:19
IsambardPrinceTrump is doing a collection of things that are making life in America miserable for people who actually work for a living.Aug 21 21:20

IsambardPrinceBut if you have to get to Walmart to stock the shelves, it's a big fucking deal.Aug 21 21:21

IsambardPrinceCredit One Bank, which markets fee harvester credit cards to the working poor sent me an email.Aug 21 21:22
IsambardPrinceThey said wouldn't you like a $500 credit line for emergencies, like food, or gas?Aug 21 21:22
IsambardPrinceI said, "Wait a minute, I thought food and gas were routine expenses that you know are coming."Aug 21 21:22
IsambardPrinceOf course they are, and thanks to Trump they're also an emergency.Aug 21 21:22
IsambardPrince$3 a pound ground beef is now $8.99 a pound.Aug 21 21:23
IsambardPrince$2.25 a gallon for gas is now $5.29Aug 21 21:23
IsambardPrinceTrump says he wants to remove his own tariffs on ground beef to lower prices for 90 days. Then you can go back to paying $9-10 a pound for ground chuck after the election when the Strategic Oil Reserve also runs dry at the same time.Aug 21 21:25

IsambardPrinceI'm making chili tonight.Aug 21 22:23
IsambardPrinceI make this recipe a lot. It's very good except I always omit the half tsp of salt that it calls for. It's so stupid to add salt when you're using a tsp of celery salt and a tsp of seasoning salt and two Tbsp of BTB Chili Base which has roughly two more tsp of sal, and canned beans which have more salt.Aug 21 22:24
*fantom (~fantom@freenode-crc.udo.r9g5d1.IP) has joined #techrightsAug 21 22:24
IsambardPrinceAt a certain point you're using so many different kinds of salt that another half tsp does nothing except maybe put it over the edge and make it too salty.Aug 21 22:24

IsambardPrinceThe Bush's Best went on sale for $1.29 a can so I only needed two for tonight but I bought six.Aug 21 22:27
IsambardPrinceBush's don't explode during the pressure cook like the store brand tend to.Aug 21 22:27
IsambardPrinceJewel's store brand explodes, and Aldi's come out hard as a rock even after pressure cooking them.Aug 21 22:27
IsambardPrinceBush's don't.Aug 21 22:27
IsambardPrinceThe salt in Better Than Bouillon and seasoned salts isn't just flat sodium chloride. It is loaded with hydrolyzed soy protein, yeast extracts, and natural glutamates (MSG). This creates a deep, savory, mouth-watering umami flavor that coats the tongue. Adding raw table salt on top of that would just create a sharp, stinging saltiness that cuts right through those complex flavors.Aug 21 22:28
IsambardPrinceAnyway, I am not trying to make brine. I'm trying to make a very complex flavor profile, and you "can't get there from here" with loads of plain salt.Aug 21 22:29

IsambardPrince[16:39] <schestowitz[TR2]> :)Aug 21 23:08
IsambardPrinceGonad the Barbarian bought Bud Lite.Aug 21 23:08
IsambardPrinceNever really understood what the deal was with Lite beer.Aug 21 23:09
IsambardPrinceLike, it's for people who want carbonated water with some grain alcohol?Aug 21 23:09
IsambardPrinceThe worst part about that Star Trek movie with the whales, other than being based in San Francisco, was the part where Captain Kirk was drinking Miller Lite with a pizza.Aug 21 23:10
IsambardPrinceCaptain Kirk is not a man who would drink Miller Lite, ever.Aug 21 23:12
IsambardPrinceHe's from a future utopia where you can walk up to a food synthesizer and tell it what you want.Aug 21 23:12

IsambardPrinceHe's probably tried beer hundreds of times and knows which ones are good and which ones are crap.Aug 21 23:13
IsambardPrinceI guarantee that pizza place had at least five different beers that you could order.Aug 21 23:13
IsambardPrinceIn the 90s, they would actually bring out entire pitchers of beer to the table at Pizza Hut.Aug 21 23:13
IsambardPrincePretty much anything that says "Lite" on it is guaranteed to be swill meant for pussies and people who fried all their taste buds with cigarettes anyway.Aug 21 23:15
IsambardPrinceIf Kirk walked in and said "Give me an Anchor Steam." I would have totally understood that.Aug 21 23:17
IsambardPrinceI used to buy Rolling Rock all the time at the supermarket. It was $1 for a 24 ounce can. How do you beat that? Well, you go to Save-on-Liquor and you get a Colt 45 for $2, that's how you beat that. I got those too.Aug 21 23:21
IsambardPrinceColt 45 actually isn't half bad.Aug 21 23:21
IsambardPrinceIt's basically high octane Miller High Life. They jacked up the ABV to 5.6%.Aug 21 23:23
IsambardPrinceI love Colt 45. It's cheap and it gets you properly wasted for a couple bucks. There was a massive marketing backfire there that led to the stubbornly low price. They tried marketing it to middle class white people and then when that didn't work, they marketed it to working class black people.Aug 21 23:24
IsambardPrinceThe recipe did not change, the marketing did. They even hired Billy Dee Williams as their spokesman.Aug 21 23:25
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: My mom thinks "all beer is bad" because she got married to idiots that all bought weird, bad, beer.Aug 21 23:28
IsambardPrinceIt had no depth of flavor, no body, no nothing.Aug 21 23:28
IsambardPrinceThe only reason to reach for Lite beer in my opinion is if someone just hands you one ice cold at a party or after you mowed the lawn.Aug 21 23:29
IsambardPrinceEveryone's pallette is different, for sure, but mine picks up on pretty much everything that can go wrong with beer.Aug 21 23:31
IsambardPrinceAnyway, the chili recipe is sound, it just needs a couple of tweaks.Aug 21 23:32
IsambardPrinceNo Budweiser, ever. Skip the plain salt.Aug 21 23:33
IsambardPrinceIf you proceed with Budweiser for some reason, at least get regular Budweiser, not Bud Lite.Aug 21 23:34
IsambardPrinceI might see if I can find a 40 of Colt 45 anywhere next time I make chili. I can use half a cup of that and then drink the rest.Aug 21 23:35
