| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Mom's landlord got really shitty with her while my mom was in the ER over mom feeding the stray cats. | Aug 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | MinceR: they should get none | Aug 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | my own take on emojis is like this | Aug 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | man or woman sends some emoji | Aug 23 05:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom thinks it was the neighbor in the other side of the duplex that ratted her out. | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you want to render if somehow | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or interpret it | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not like utf8_x3498347498374398 | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so that forces you to get some emji lib | Aug 23 05:24 |
| IsambardPrince | The guy is just a tenant and apparently he's out there every two days mowing the lawn whether it needs it or not. | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and they make complex ones | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and add colours | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like black hanmd thumbs up | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | green hand thbumbs up | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it bloats your device | Aug 23 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and sometimes the device caches it in RAM | Aug 23 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so oyou need a device with more RAM | Aug 23 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | just to render some buffer | Aug 23 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | I'd mow the lawn here if they supplied the mower and gas and knocked $50 off my rent every time I mowed. | Aug 23 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with emojis in it | Aug 23 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Otherwise nope. | Aug 23 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you want 20 cat photos? | Aug 23 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in cache? | Aug 23 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for some irc session/buffer? | Aug 23 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no thanks! | Aug 23 05:25 |
| MinceR | i think emoji are fine, they just don't belong in unicode | Aug 23 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Why would you mow the lawn for free, and do it every two days | Aug 23 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | With your own mower and gas. | Aug 23 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | That's just insane. | Aug 23 05:25 |
| MinceR | they should have avoided han unification instead of adding emoji | Aug 23 05:26 |
| IsambardPrince | That's beyond insane. | Aug 23 05:26 |
| IsambardPrince | You're handling something you pay rent for. | Aug 23 05:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | right | Aug 23 05:26 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I worked out a deal like that with a landlord once. | Aug 23 05:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I cleaned the common areas and did landscaping. | Aug 23 05:27 |
| IsambardPrince | He credited my rent. | Aug 23 05:27 |
| IsambardPrince | It ended up going further. He paid me cash to do painting and stain a deck and some other odd jobs. | Aug 23 05:28 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I've done some funny stuff before. | Aug 23 05:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom and Dave's house wasn't wired for cable. | Aug 23 05:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Comcast wanted $350 to come out there and do it. | Aug 23 05:29 |
| IsambardPrince | So I climbed the line and ran cable to the house and through all the rooms they wanted a TV in. | Aug 23 05:29 |
| IsambardPrince | You couldn't use it without subscribing and getting a descrambler box so it wasn't "pirate cable". | Aug 23 05:30 |
| IsambardPrince | I completely gutted that house. | Aug 23 05:30 |
| IsambardPrince | The county tax assessor has no idea. | Aug 23 05:30 |
| IsambardPrince | They've been taxing it at an unapproved value that does not account for any of that. | Aug 23 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | *unimproved | Aug 23 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | (tired) | Aug 23 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | If you make improvements, you have to get a building permit and have the assessor come out and look so they can adjust your tax bill later. | Aug 23 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | The government wants to steal your money. They say it's to make sure you're "up to code" but it really has nothing to do with that. | Aug 23 05:32 |
| IsambardPrince | They want to see if they can double your property tax bill when you're done even though they did nothing to improve your house. | Aug 23 05:32 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Trump's tariffs on Canada will make life shittier and more expensive down here. | Aug 23 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | But it's going to hurt the Canadians more. | Aug 23 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if they retaliate it will hurt them more. | Aug 23 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Carney is up there acting tough and saying "war", but it's Canada so whatever. | Aug 23 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Carney is the Prime Minister of a country that accuses the United States of "signing deals in pencil", I assume he includes the Paris Accords, while Canada is suing us over getting rid of Keystone XL which is how they wanted to sell the filthiest oil in the world to China | Aug 23 05:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They signed Paris too, and they "signed it in pencil". | Aug 23 05:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They're more worried about pissing off oil politics in Alberta than they are about an international agreement on the climate. | Aug 23 05:35 |
| IsambardPrince | At the end of the day, everyone always wants to take care of their own first. | Aug 23 05:36 |
| IsambardPrince | And if that means "signing deals in pencil", well, Canada does too. | Aug 23 05:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | carney is a smart man | Aug 23 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i spoke to my dad about him yesterday | Aug 23 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he knwos that | Aug 23 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1) canadians don't trust cheeto) | Aug 23 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2) being "anti-cheeto" is helpful to him poltiically | Aug 23 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3) cheto will capitulate at the end | Aug 23 05:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he was in goldman sachs | Aug 23 05:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | my dad didn't know that | Aug 23 05:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he thought he was in the public sector mostly | Aug 23 05:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | after he was our head of banksters | Aug 23 05:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | iirc, he also holds irish passport | Aug 23 05:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, the Irish, they're good at two things. | Aug 23 05:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Car bombs, and carb bombs (beer). | Aug 23 05:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Horrible at everything else. | Aug 23 05:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | your mom is irtish | Aug 23 05:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | harmine | Aug 23 05:41 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | felta the vinking? | Aug 23 05:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Carl VHS Felta | Aug 23 05:42 |
| IsambardPrince | A lot of dad's family tree was German. | Aug 23 05:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *viking | Aug 23 05:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh he easily had every movie they ever put on VHS down there in banker's boxes. | Aug 23 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | It was unbelievable. | Aug 23 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | 90% of that was stuff we rented and ran off to blanks. | Aug 23 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | The Germans are better at beer than the Irish. | Aug 23 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | They're better at everything than the Irish for that matter. | Aug 23 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They have a "world beer" selection at World Market. | Aug 23 05:46 |
| IsambardPrince | This is not the stuff you knock back for 50 cents a bottle from the supermarket. | Aug 23 05:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of what I drink is at that price level just because I'm fairly broke. | Aug 23 05:48 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Kiki hopped up on me and fell asleep while I was watching a movie last night. | Aug 23 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Then she followed me when I went to bed and fell asleep right next to me there too and didn't move for several hours. | Aug 23 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Having cats limits you on how you can perform roach control. | Aug 23 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | You can still bait the house but you have to do it in a way that the cats won't get into it. | Aug 23 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Those bait stations do work, but I recommend setting out 2-3 different brands and poison types. | Aug 23 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Roaches are finicky. Some have resistance to certain pesticides or aversion to certain types of bait. | Aug 23 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | But they probably won't resist all of them. | Aug 23 19:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so kiki trusts you already | Aug 23 19:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that was fast | Aug 23 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, I'm good with cats. | Aug 23 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | My mom asked me how I always get the cats that don't tear the furniture up, scratch the walls, pee all over everything. | Aug 23 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | also with jabbascript? | Aug 23 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I told her "Well, when I go to the shelter to pick one, I listen to what the cat tells me. If the cat there tries to bite me or scratch me, we move right along. And you have to give them attention and love and you have to redirect destructive impulses like scratching to designated things, like those $50-60 scratching posts that last forever." | Aug 23 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | She had almost no luck with cats because when she went to the shelter to try to get one, she didn't listen to the cat. | Aug 23 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | She just said "Oh that one looks nice!" | Aug 23 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | And then she takes it home and it pees on the laundry and she doesn't get that you have to sort of get a sense for what it's trying to tell you. | Aug 23 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The odd thing about cats is that one that doesn't like you might decide to like someone else. | Aug 23 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody understood how my great-grandmother got her cat Sunny Boy to behave. | Aug 23 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | It turned out that it loved her and behaved for her, but it would attack everyone else. | Aug 23 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | He was declawed but he still knew how to atttack. | Aug 23 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | He would hide under furniture and wait for people to go by and jump out and ball up his paw and punch into the leg repeatedly and bite. | Aug 23 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | But he never did that to my great-grandmother. | Aug 23 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | He'd hop up into her lap and chill out. | Aug 23 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | So he was a good cat, for her. | Aug 23 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | She went into the hospital for a couple weeks and mom and dad had to watch Sunny Boy. | Aug 23 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | By the end of the two weeks, he had started to behave for them. | Aug 23 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Then she got out and they gave the cat back. Next time they went over to visit, Sunny Boy was back to attacking them. | Aug 23 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Cat behavior is unique to the cat. | Aug 23 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | There's cats that like one person better than others, cats that like everyone, and cats that only like one person. | Aug 23 19:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Leeloo was the kind that likes everyone. | Aug 23 19:48 |
| IsambardPrince | But Bobbi Jo and Kiki are the ones that like me better than others, but tolerate other people. | Aug 23 19:48 |
| IsambardPrince | I can already tell I have a second one like that now. | Aug 23 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Bobbi will go and hide if a new person is in the house, until they leave. | Aug 23 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | If they don't leave, she stops hiding after a couple of weeks. | Aug 23 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I think Kiki will be a decent size cat when she's finished growing. | Aug 23 19:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I think at least 10 pounds by December. | Aug 23 19:50 |

| IsambardPrince | I added: | Aug 23 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Cartagia was the worst kind. He was a narcissist, a megalomaniac, the only public projects he was concerned with were vanity projects, like the architecture he saw every day. Filling up public square with statues of himself, naming everything after himself, building temples to himself, presumably blowing up all the monuments to previous leaders. | Aug 23 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | He probably had a reflecting pond somewhere and if there were reporters on Centauri Prime he was probably on video obsessing about angular cuts into a driveway while they were in the middle of a war. | Aug 23 19:59 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | there are supplements of it | Aug 23 20:19 |
| IsambardPrince | So even the cheapest cat foods are fortified with it. | Aug 23 20:19 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: It's likely that Piyush contributed to his black mold problem when he gave me an air conditioner full of black mold. | Aug 23 20:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I removed the front cover of it and wore a respirator and had HEPA purifiers going and chisled it off the fins and pulled the filter nobody ever cleaned and cleaned it out with a toothbrush and dawn and bleached it. | Aug 23 20:41 |
| IsambardPrince | But it was pretty bad. | Aug 23 20:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm sure that it put out mold spores anyway. | Aug 23 20:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I grabbed a can of compressor/condensor cleaner and went after it as well as I could, outside, taken apart. | Aug 23 20:41 |
| IsambardPrince | He was wondering why there was black mold in the carpet and he's having to pay a contractor to tear into the subfloor. | Aug 23 20:42 |

| IsambardPrince | I told him, "Well, off the top of my head, without a dehumidifier running constantly, that apartment hovers around 86% RH, I don't know why. The back yard floodeed that year you left the tree laying where it fell and the flood water came through my window and breached the foundation. Then there was the time the upstairs neighbor's plumbing faileed and every time they took a shower it came through my ceiling while you said I was being | Aug 23 20:44 |
| IsambardPrince | hysterical when I asked you calmly to fix it. Then there were all the times I told you and Mark that the kitchen sink was backing up and overflowing with other people's dirty dish water. I have pictures and videos of it doing that." | Aug 23 20:44 |
| IsambardPrince | I ran him through all of the things he did that certainly weren't helping and told him the only reason I put up with it until the building was completely taken over by cockroaches, was that he was cheaper than other landlords. | Aug 23 20:45 |

| IsambardPrince | I told him if anything, it would "bring attention to how you were managing that unit, not me". | Aug 23 20:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I said "I also have videos of all the dead cockroaches in the common areas, all the live ones crawling around too." | Aug 23 20:48 |

| IsambardPrince | He killed a few of the weaker ones and then the ones that were unfazed by it were 100% of the breeding population. | Aug 23 20:49 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Amazon was running some coupons and promos on P&G stuff, which also has a rebate. | Aug 23 21:17 |
| IsambardPrince | So I stocked up on some household supples and more roach bait. | Aug 23 21:17 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't know how well RAID roach bait stations work but that's a third poison type and it lets me spread out my anti--roach stations further into the apartment to potentially catch stragglers on the cheap. | Aug 23 21:18 |
| IsambardPrince | I like to alternate between the Advion and the cheaper stuff like RAID and Combat stations throughout the house. It fucks up their ability to adapt and keeps the overall cost down. | Aug 23 21:19 |
| admfubar | now that is desperation... https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/microsoft-now-pays-you-if-you-invite-your-friends-to-use-edge-browser-on-mobile.460566/ | Aug 23 21:20 |

| IsambardPrince | This will put Indoxacarb, Fipronil, and Abamectin B1 in the mix as far as insecticides. | Aug 23 21:20 |
| IsambardPrince | And the bait stations make it harder for the cats to accidentally get in them. | Aug 23 21:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Now that I'm not catching roaches in my sticky traps I plan to back off from those on the floors and move some that were on the floors into the cabinets to lower the odds of the cats stepping in one. | Aug 23 21:21 |
| IsambardPrince | I only use the gel syringes to apply bait matrix to the cabinet hinges in the kitchen, and only where the cats can't get in the cabinets. | Aug 23 21:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I store all food in the fridge or the freezer, or sealed in plastic containers that the roaches can't breach. | Aug 23 21:22 |
| IsambardPrince | You want to turn your apartment into as much of a desert as you can. Then you offer the roaches poisoned food. | Aug 23 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Then if you're doing it right, you stop seeing any because they're dying so fast. | Aug 23 21:24 |

| IsambardPrince | You get to shoot them with phasers like 5-6 times and then the phaser doesn't work anymore. | Aug 23 21:28 |
