Isambard_Prince"n addition to the roads becoming impassable, motorists had to deal with vehicles breaking down due to the combination of very cold temperatures, very high winds and blowing snow."Jan 25 00:48
Isambard_PrinceYeah, my car really doesn't like being started at -10 F.Jan 25 00:48
Isambard_PrinceI'm starting to wish I used 0w30 last oil change instead of 5w30.Jan 25 00:49
Isambard_PrinceThe owner's manual says 0w30 can be used if you're dealing with temperatures this cold, but since they usually only happen one or two days out of the year I normally don't bother.Jan 25 00:50

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, I was making fun of Credit One Bank.Jan 25 01:18
Isambard_PrinceI said a bank so nasty your bankrupt friends will laugh at you for having their cards.Jan 25 01:18
Isambard_PrinceAnd "They'll approve anyone with a pulse, for a $200 credit line and $150 in annual fees.Jan 25 01:18
Isambard_Princeschestowitz[TR2] put it as I had received a "pardon" from the state. But what I received was better than a pardon.Jan 25 01:43
Isambard_PrinceA pardon is simply a document that says the state forgives you. It makes you immediately eligible for an expungement, which means that the public can no longer see what happened. Jan 25 01:43
Isambard_PrinceIt's the expungement that matters, because it means that in the eyes of the law, it never happened.Jan 25 01:44
Isambard_PrinceBut a pardon isn't the only way to get to an expungement. They ruled that I could have one even though I had never been pardoned.Jan 25 01:44
Isambard_PrinceAnd I don't really care if the state does forgive me. I'd really just rather have their boot on my neck a little bit less, which is what I got.Jan 25 01:44
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, ^Jan 25 01:45
Isambard_PrinceAmerica itself has become an open air prison anyway, for most people.Jan 25 01:45
Isambard_PrinceIt's actually worse in some ways to not be in prison than it is to be in prison.Jan 25 01:45
MinceR:>Jan 25 01:45
MinceRmost of the planet is an open air prison at this pointJan 25 01:45
MinceRand the devil apes love it!Jan 25 01:46
Isambard_PrinceIn prison, they at least have to give you a bed to sleep in, you won't freeze, there's food, and they are obligated to give you medical attention.Jan 25 01:46
Isambard_PrinceAlso, college becomes free once you're in prison.Jan 25 01:46
Isambard_PrincePeople who haven't done anything wrong don't get any of that.Jan 25 01:46
Isambard_PrinceA right-minded person would look at this fucking crap and, well, they interviewed prisoners and they said that if they had affordable housing, medicine, and free college on the outside, they probably never would have gone to prison.Jan 25 01:47
Isambard_PrinceMy parents act like resorting to dealing drugs and prostitution are something you do for fun, because in their false narrative, there's absolutely nothing wrong with our country, jobs are plentiful, and people "just don't want to work".Jan 25 01:48
Isambard_PrinceNobody turns to prostitution and drugs and living in a cheap motel because the country is doing great.Jan 25 01:49
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, Goldman Sachs had so many people resigning to work at other banks that they were having difficulty keeping the Apple Card running.Jan 25 01:52
Isambard_PrinceSo they had to come out and promise that everyone who stayed until the last day before the Chase transition would receive a severance check equal to their entire 2023 salary.Jan 25 01:53
MinceR25 024626 < Isambard_Prince> People who haven't done anything wrong don't get any of that.Jan 25 01:53
MinceRwell, sometimes they doJan 25 01:53
MinceR> people "just don't want to work".Jan 25 01:53
MinceRmaybe it's like it is here: people really just don't want to work, but they do want to have a salaryJan 25 01:54
MinceRafaict many of them pull it offJan 25 01:54

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, They say people don't want to work like that's abnormal.Jan 25 02:07

Isambard_PrinceMy mom throughout her life said she "Doesn't want to go in today." and complained endlessly about the hospital.Jan 25 02:08
Isambard_PrinceOr about bosses in general.Jan 25 02:08

Isambard_PrinceAn unarmed man was brutally murdered by ICE, and all the New York Times cares about is that it might delay a spending bill.Jan 25 02:15
Isambard_PrinceThe only spending bill it affects is the DHS.Jan 25 02:16
Isambard_PrinceWhich should not exist anyway.Jan 25 02:16
Isambard_PrinceIt will not affect anything else, including air traffic controllers which are the FAA, and it will not affect the TSA because they're funded by user fees at the airport, in fact, Kristi Noem herself accidentally added to their self-funding when she imposed a new set of fees on flyers without "REAL ID" driver's licenses.Jan 25 02:17
Isambard_PrinceIt's another reason I don't fly. It involves giving the Department of Reichstag Security money.Jan 25 02:20
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, The Republicans will continue to damage the country greatly even if they lose the House this year, even if they somehow lost the Senate too.Jan 25 02:22

Isambard_PrinceThey've gotten as good as the Nazis were at continuing to govern no matter how many seats they got.Jan 25 02:22

schestowitz[TR2]"The NSA is not the only government agency asking tech companies for help in cracking technology to access user data.

schestowitz[TR2]In 2005, when Microsoft was about to launch BitLocker, its Windows software to encrypt and lock hard drives, the company approached the NSA, its British counterpart the GCHQ and the FBI, among other government and law-enforcement agencies.

Isambard_Prince The whole H1-B thing is a scam. They've been doing layoffs for years at IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and they bring in all these H1-Bs, and the first thing you read about after every layoff, on "thelayoff" is how the headcount isn't actually shrinking, they bring in H1-Bs to lower salaries and prevent and dismantle labor unions.Jan 25 18:57
Isambard_PrinceAs much as I despise Trump, I thought it was funny, the $100,000 per H1-B application, whether it gets approved or not. So you might even pay it and then get it denied and you don't get a refund. I hate Trump but I would have done the same thing honestly. USCIS is a fee funded agency and they've been raising the price for marriage green cards and everything, while giving fatcat tech companies a subsidy. Jan 25 18:57
Isambard_PrinceWhy are we giving away H1-B visas to companies that are clearly abusing them in order to bust salaries and unions?Jan 25 18:58
Isambard_PrinceWell, that stops now.Jan 25 18:58
Isambard_PrinceThere's no way you pay $100,000 to apply for one when they only get to stay for a few years and then you have to pay it again.Jan 25 18:59
Isambard_PrinceAnd USCIS will want PROOF that this person is actually highly skilled and performs a function you are having a hard time finding with American employees.Jan 25 18:59

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-old.reddit.com | NRA and pro-gun groups call for β€˜full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti : DHACJan 25 21:15
Isambard_PrinceThis mess with ICE and CBP has gotten so out of control that even the NRA is calling for a murder investigation into the CBP agent now.Jan 25 21:16
*darwin has quit (Quit: peace be with you)Jan 25 21:16
Isambard_PrinceI don't normally agree with the NRA, but I agree completely. The State should conduct its own investigation and swiftly bring murder charges based on the mountain of evidence at hand.Jan 25 21:16
Isambard_PrinceThe federal government is trying to engage in a cover-up, but it can't hide the hundreds of eyewitness testimonies and recordings from every angle.Jan 25 21:17
MinceRmaybe some of them still want the 2nd amendment to be upheld, unlike the loudest nazisJan 25 21:17
MinceRwhose opinion is apparently 'the 2nd amendment applies to me, but not to you'Jan 25 21:17
Isambard_PrinceYes, Greg Bovino who deliberately walks around in a Nazi SS-style uniform, claimed the second amendment "did not apply" to the nurse that they murdered.Jan 25 21:18
Isambard_PrinceHe had a conceal and carry license issued by Minnesota, and no firearm disqualifiers or criminal records.Jan 25 21:18
Isambard_PrinceSo I'm not sure why it wouldn't.Jan 25 21:18
Isambard_PrinceThey even photographed Bovino in his SS uniform, but they had to angle the camera just right to hide the fact that he's shorter than most American women, and parading around in an SS costume.Jan 25 21:19
MinceRlolJan 25 21:20
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, It was just weird, and in the background they even had these creepy red lights that made him look like the devil. (If the devil was shorter than a woman.)Jan 25 21:24
MinceRwell, some devils areJan 25 21:25
MinceRlike lemuresJan 25 21:25

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, He is a very potent male, you know, everywhere he goes in the SS trenchcoat, he has to have six bodyguards with automatic rifles.Jan 25 21:26

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, I saw a welcome mat that says "Come back with a warrant or Level IV Plate."Jan 25 21:27
Isambard_PrinceI thought about it and then I said, "Well, why ruin the surprise?"Jan 25 21:27
MinceR:>Jan 25 21:27
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, "Armor Piercing" bullets are illegal in Illinois.Jan 25 21:28
MinceRspinagons are even smallerJan 25 21:29
Isambard_PrinceBut the law doesn't cover every armor piercing bullet that's made.Jan 25 21:29
MinceRhttps://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/SpinagonJan 25 21:29
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-forgottenrealms.fandom.com | Client ChallengeJan 25 21:29
Isambard_PrinceOnly certain types.Jan 25 21:29
Isambard_PrinceGreen Tip is perfectly legal here.Jan 25 21:29
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, That's why the guy who shot up his Tesla actually penetrated the door.Jan 25 21:32
Isambard_PrinceBecause when Musk said bulletproof, he wasn't talking about green tip, which are actually quite common.Jan 25 21:32
Isambard_PrinceThe guy was trying to prove that the bullets would just bounce off the Tesla or something and he ended up ruining the driver door, the motors, and the driver seat the bullets got lodged in.Jan 25 21:33
*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrightsJan 25 21:35
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, The trouble for Trump is that the news agencies are actually reporting the truth about the murder of Alex Pretti instead of Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino's lies.Jan 25 21:35
Isambard_PrinceSo I suppose that it's time for another round of lawsuits against the news.Jan 25 21:35
Isambard_PrinceThat's how Putin got the news under control in Russia.Jan 25 21:36
Isambard_PrinceBefore he got all-powerful.Jan 25 21:36
Isambard_PrinceRussia has a terrible economic situation right now. They've basically squandered their entire national wealth fund.Jan 25 21:37
Isambard_PrinceThe last report I saw said they even had to sell 83% of their gold to keep the war going.Jan 25 21:37
MinceRcommunist china and a bunch of other shitholes are helping themJan 25 21:37
Isambard_PrinceI wonder how much of that gold was Nazi gold that the Soviet Union managed to grab at the end of that war.Jan 25 21:38
MinceRah yes, the gold of their former alliesJan 25 21:38
MinceRrather, the gold their former allies robbed from othersJan 25 21:38
*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrightsJan 25 21:40
Isambard_PrinceYes, the Jews that saw "the dentist" to get the gold ripped out of their teeth.Jan 25 21:41
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, When a car salesman tried to tell me everyone was signing car loans at 17% these days, I said "Hey, how about the fillings out of my fucking teeth too?"Jan 25 21:41
Isambard_PrinceI've got about a quarter of a tank of gas right now.Jan 25 21:42
Isambard_PrinceI'm sure that's enough to make it up to Wisconsin tomorrow.Jan 25 21:42
Isambard_PrinceI don't like filling up down here because it's running about $3 a gallon here and about $2.20 up there.Jan 25 21:42
Isambard_PrinceOver a 17 gallon tank that adds up.Jan 25 21:42
Isambard_PrinceI have to be there for a medical appointment and the gas station is across the street.Jan 25 21:43
MinceR:>Jan 25 21:43
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, Being on the state line is great.Jan 25 21:43
Isambard_PrinceYou can visit them for cheap gas without having to live in a community property state.Jan 25 21:43
Isambard_Prince:)Jan 25 21:43
MinceRwhat's community property?Jan 25 21:44
Isambard_PrinceIn a community property state, when you acquire property, money, or debts during a marriage, it automatically belongs to both of you.Jan 25 21:44
*darwin (~darwin@ezriia7nzimpg.irc) has joined #techrightsJan 25 21:44
Isambard_PrinceAnd if you have to file bankruptcy, your spouse has to as well.Jan 25 21:44
Isambard_PrinceBecause their debts are yours.Jan 25 21:44
Isambard_PrinceSo basically, if you have a spouse that gets credit cards and personal loans you didn't ever sign for, they can come after you to pay those.Jan 25 21:45
Isambard_PrinceEven though you didn't know about them, and never agreed to pay.Jan 25 21:45
Isambard_PrinceIf your spouse ends up in the hospital, they can go after you and ruin your credit as well, even though you didn't go to the hospital.Jan 25 21:45
MinceRicJan 25 21:45
MinceRshould be easily fixed by never marryingJan 25 21:46
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, My surgeon says he practices in Wisconsin because there's too many malpractice lawsuits against doctors down here.Jan 25 21:46
MinceRit shouldn't be the state's business anywayJan 25 21:46
MinceRor the church's, for that matterJan 25 21:46
Isambard_PrinceI told him I don't live in Wisconsin because I don't agree to be sued for my spouse's debts.Jan 25 21:46
MinceRthey should keep their own businessJan 25 21:46
MinceRthough i guess if they did, they'd cease to existJan 25 21:46
Isambard_PrinceWhat a horrible state.Jan 25 21:47
Isambard_PrinceThere's no reason to live in Wisconsin and it's too dangerous to marry anyone if you live there.Jan 25 21:47
Isambard_PrinceIt's like California.Jan 25 21:47
MinceRthe only point of states and churches is to meddle with people's livesJan 25 21:48
Isambard_PrinceOr end their lives, if they get into a mood.Jan 25 21:48
MinceR:>Jan 25 21:48
Isambard_PrinceThen prevent an investigation into their murderers.Jan 25 21:48
Isambard_PrinceLike what's going on in the US federal government right now.Jan 25 21:48
*darwin has quit (Quit: peace be with you)Jan 25 21:49
Isambard_PrinceI'd really rather live on some island where there is no government because nobody will bother with it.Jan 25 21:49
Isambard_PrinceIf I was rich I'd secretly construct a self-sustaining bunker on one without anyone knowing, and just live there where there's no swine that presume to rule me.Jan 25 21:49
Isambard_PrinceThe rest of the world is reorganizing for a post-US world order.Jan 25 21:52
Isambard_PrinceAlready, the US Dollar has crashed to about 40% of reserves.Jan 25 21:52
Isambard_PrinceWhich is still a lot, but it was at 60% 12 months ago.Jan 25 21:52
Isambard_PrinceFor some reason, Trump forgets to mention that other countries are ditching Dollar assets and demanding payment.Jan 25 21:53
Isambard_PrinceAnd that this is also driving inflation.Jan 25 21:53
Isambard_PrinceI went to Walmart today to get some deodorant, and on some of them, $12.63 was the clearance price.Jan 25 21:53
MinceRsameJan 25 21:53
Isambard_PrinceFor stuff that cost $6.99 a stick under Biden.Jan 25 21:53
MinceRunfortunately, we're going to drown islands in the oceanJan 25 21:53
Isambard_PrinceAnd $3.99 in 2020.Jan 25 21:53

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, Trump says he won't attend the Super Bowl because Bad Bunny and Green Day will be there.Jan 25 21:54
Isambard_Prince"We know how to take 'em out now! Spread the word!"Jan 25 21:55
MinceRlolJan 25 21:55
Isambard_Prince:PJan 25 21:55
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, I never got that scene at the end of Independence Day.Jan 25 21:57
Isambard_PrinceThey use up all their missiles and don't hit any critical systems, and cause only minor damage to the alien spaceship.Jan 25 21:57
Isambard_PrinceThen they realize they need to damage the weapon.Jan 25 21:57
Isambard_PrinceThe one that they've seen open up and fire during other attacks.Jan 25 21:57
*darwin (~darwin@ezriia7nzimpg.irc) has joined #techrightsJan 25 21:59
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, Also, why can't the city-destroyer ships operate the shielding without the mothership, but they apparently have enough energy to remain in flight and even fire the main weapon?Jan 25 22:02
MinceR:>Jan 25 22:02
MinceRbad designJan 25 22:02
Isambard_PrinceAlso, transmitting energy wirelessly is not very efficient.Jan 25 22:02
Isambard_PrinceEspecially from orbit, you'd think.Jan 25 22:03
Isambard_PrinceI mean, I plug in my phone and it's charged in half an hour, but if I put it on a wireless charging pad, it's only a quarter inch from the charging circuitry and it still takes hours.Jan 25 22:03
Isambard_PrinceThis is aside from the fact that they rigged up a virus using a Macbook from 1996 that's supposed to mess up an alien mothership, of course.Jan 25 22:04
Isambard_PrinceBut once the shields are down, wouldn't it make sense to call in the F-117s again to launch a single nuclear weapon at the now-unshielded motherships?Jan 25 22:04
Isambard_PrinceThey probably aren't all taking up position over a city.Jan 25 22:05
Isambard_PrinceThe sequel was even worse.Jan 25 22:05
Isambard_PrinceIndependence Day more than borrowed from War of the Worlds.Jan 25 22:06
Isambard_PrinceIn the movie, one of the first things the Army did when they realized conventional weapons weren't working on the Martians was call in a nuclear strike, that devastated the cities but didn't seem to affect the Martian spacecraft at all.Jan 25 22:07
Isambard_Prince(energy shielding)Jan 25 22:07
Isambard_PrinceIt wasn't a bad movie by the standards of the 1950s.Jan 25 22:07
Isambard_PrinceOf course the ending left a lot to be desired.Jan 25 22:07
Isambard_PrinceThey run into a church to pray while the whole world is being ended and there's seemingly no hope.Jan 25 22:07
Isambard_PrinceAnd then the saucers start falling out of the sky and crashing.Jan 25 22:08
Isambard_PrinceAnd it was apparently the germs.Jan 25 22:08
Isambard_PrinceThe Earth's germs got them.Jan 25 22:08

Isambard_PrinceMinceR, The things you run into on the internet.Jan 25 22:09
Isambard_PrinceSo I was looking at a website where someone asked if sex in a public restroom is legal if you lock the door.Jan 25 22:10
Isambard_PrinceA lawyer replied and said technically it might be considered a non-public place at that point, but he wouldn't want to have to argue that.Jan 25 22:10
Isambard_Princeand "get a room"Jan 25 22:10
Isambard_PrinceEvery place has its own laws about that, but all it takes is one person managing to get the door open somehow and it's a public place again.Jan 25 22:11
Isambard_PrinceEven if the only thing that happens is a fine, is a $5,000 fine and a criminal record worth not having to pay $50 for a cheap motel room?Jan 25 22:12

Isambard_PrinceInefficient power distributionJan 25 23:34
Isambard_PrinceAlthough it seemed they could overcome that with brute force when they had a ZPM.Jan 25 23:34
Isambard_PrinceI mean, I suppose that's plausible.Jan 25 23:35
Isambard_PrincePart of the problem with the US electric grid was inefficient power distribution.Jan 25 23:35
Isambard_PrinceIt could be overcome with generating more power than you really should need.Jan 25 23:35
Isambard_PrinceMost of the "smart grid" stuff is really just things like voltage optimization at the substations to the individual meters.Jan 25 23:36
Isambard_PrinceOf course, now they build all those data centers and undo the progress.Jan 25 23:36
MinceR:>Jan 25 23:36

Isambard_PrinceAnd no state is putting in limits on that because they don't want to lose the data centers too another state.Jan 25 23:37
Isambard_PrinceA lot of the problem is that the people running things get so old that they literally can't remember what they were on the floor voting on five minutes ago, and they have no stake in the outcome because they have five minutes left themselves.Jan 25 23:39
