[00:00]	Isambard_Prince	LOL
[00:00]	Isambard_Prince	I drank some but I seem to be okay.
[00:00]	Isambard_Prince	So far.
[00:00]	Isambard_Prince	It tasted good. Very clear.
[00:01]	Isambard_Prince	I asked my boyfriend what he thought.
[00:01]	Isambard_Prince	He said they have wells in the Philippines but the water comes out looking pretty bad.
[00:01]	Isambard_Prince	Two of his older brothers did die due to contaminated water.
[00:01]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, You know those pesky environmental laws.
[00:01]	Isambard_Prince	Always keeping us safe and annoying business.
[00:02]	Isambard_Prince	Won't someone rid us of this burdensome red tape!?
[00:02]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[00:02]	MinceR	:>
[00:02]	Isambard_Prince	Like EPA Director Lee Zeldin.
[00:02]	MinceR	the nazis are working on it
[00:02]	Isambard_Prince	And I hear you say "Zeldin? As in, The Legend of Zeldin?"
[00:02]	MinceR	lol
[00:02]	Isambard_Prince	And I go "Not that one, you idiot!"
[00:03]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, We know everything the government does is bad.
[00:04]	MinceR	even if it's a nazi government?
[00:04]	Isambard_Prince	Medicare and Medicaid are bad. Not dying from the water is bad. Not choking on smog is bad. Having "some" food in the house because of EBT is bad. Social Security is bad. 
[00:04]	MinceR	then again, maybe they're trying to prove that government is bad using faulty logic
[00:04]	Isambard_Prince	All this stuff was basically Democrat plots to destroy America.
[00:04]	MinceR	"we can govern poorly therefore all governments govern poorly"
[00:05]	Isambard_Prince	The police rolling down the block in a Panzer firing rubber bullets and tear gas is good.
[00:05]	Isambard_Prince	That's the only thing that's good.
[00:05]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[00:05]	Isambard_Prince	And for some reason, everything that comes in the mail says if I'm blind the government will help me.
[00:06]	Isambard_Prince	So I get to either have my eyes, or stab them out and then get food.
[00:06]	Isambard_Prince	Decisions decisions.
[00:07]	Isambard_Prince	Anyway, MinceR 
[00:07]	Isambard_Prince	About the degradation of everything.
[00:07]	Isambard_Prince	They even came for the silicone lube.
[00:08]	Isambard_Prince	It degrades into something that no longer lubricates, and is just sticky, about 5 good thrusts in.
[00:08]	MinceR	:>
[00:08]	Isambard_Prince	Use half the bottle if you want, it'll only get stickier.
[00:08]	Isambard_Prince	Swiss Navy says they have something with cloves in it that's specifically labeled "anal lube" and comes in a one gallon pump.
[00:09]	Isambard_Prince	Their regular stuff is quite good.
[00:09]	MinceR	strange thing for the swiss navy to be involved with
[00:09]	Isambard_Prince	I think it's the only one left that doesn't turn into a sticky mess and leave your boyfriend screaming oww.
[00:09]	Isambard_Prince	<MinceR> strange thing for the swiss navy to be involved with
[00:09]	MinceR	i wonder what sorts of military ships fit in lake constance
[00:09]	Isambard_Prince	Well, they have the best submarines apparently. In Europe anyway.
[00:09]	MinceR	lol
[00:09]	Isambard_Prince	Those are long and hard and full of seaman.
[00:09]	MinceR	lol
[00:09]	Isambard_Prince	*seamen
[00:10]	Isambard_Prince	Oh wait, that was Sweden
[00:10]	MinceR	they occasionally catch fire but keep perfect time?
[00:10]	Isambard_Prince	You know, Europe isn't important enough to remember things like this.
[00:10]	Isambard_Prince	You say tomato, I say tomatoe.
[00:10]	Isambard_Prince	Sweden, Switzerland, whateve.r
[00:10]	MinceR	though i'm not sure how they'd expect mechanical watches to keep perfect time
[00:10]	MinceR	especially without synchronization
[00:11]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, They keep okay time as long as you pay at least $12,000 for the watch and get a $400 servicing every 2 years.
[00:11]	Isambard_Prince	Wow.
[00:11]	MinceR	lol
[00:11]	MinceR	and keep setting it by hand
[00:11]	MinceR	because it can't take care of it itself
[00:11]	MinceR	while my watches automatically sync to my phone several times per day...
[00:11]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, The Swiss are very overrated.
[00:11]	Isambard_Prince	You could probably make this in Hungary.
[00:11]	Isambard_Prince	In fact, they probably do.
[00:11]	MinceR	they do make good chocolate though
[00:11]	MinceR	no, you couldn't
[00:12]	Isambard_Prince	They make German shitboxes in Hungary right?
[00:12]	Isambard_Prince	So you have some industry.
[00:12]	MinceR	hungarians are so useless that when the asians build battery and BEV factories here, they bring in asians to do the work
[00:12]	Isambard_Prince	That makes questionable products that are an expensive nightmare to own.
[00:12]	MinceR	yeah, they make german shitboxes, but making german shitboxes is a pointless endeavor
[00:13]	Isambard_Prince	<MinceR> hungarians are so useless that when the asians build battery and BEV factories here, they bring in asians to do the work
[00:13]	Isambard_Prince	Same thing happened in the US.
[00:13]	Isambard_Prince	ICE went in and arrested 400 Koreans for being illegal aliens.
[00:13]	Isambard_Prince	Then they deported them all at taxpayer expense.
[00:13]	MinceR	:>
[00:13]	Isambard_Prince	Then they brought them back with work permits when the factory couldn't get any Americans that were smart enough to work there.
[00:13]	Isambard_Prince	:D
[00:13]	MinceR	:>
[00:14]	Isambard_Prince	I was talking to my mother about this.
[00:14]	Isambard_Prince	I said "Does it seem odd that we had to pay to deport them only to pay to bring them back? This is the government you voted for."
[00:14]	MinceR	apparently there's an atomic clock wristwatch
[00:15]	MinceR	Bathys Cesium 133
[00:15]	MinceR	but it's still so big it's unwieldy...
[00:15]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Mine sets itself to the atomic clock radio signal.
[00:15]	Isambard_Prince	It resets every night so it's not more than 1 second off.
[00:15]	MinceR	https://www.ablogtowatch.com/bathys-hawaii-cesium-133-atomic-wrist-watch-accurate-second-1000-years/
[00:15]	TR Bot	( status 403 @ https://www.ablogtowatch.com/bathys-hawaii-cesium-133-atomic-wrist-watch-accurate-second-1000-years/ )
[00:15]	Isambard_Prince	Why would you put an atomic clock directly into the watch when the government broadcasts a radio signal with the same information?
[00:16]	MinceR	bragging rights, i guess
[00:16]	MinceR	wanting to keep perfect time when the infrastructure collapses?
[00:16]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, More things require knowing the precise time than they did 20-30 years ago.
[00:16]	Isambard_Prince	We used to have mechanical time clocks at work.
[00:16]	Isambard_Prince	Those weren't quite accurate.
[00:17]	Isambard_Prince	But work was important so you set your watch to that every day.
[00:17]	Isambard_Prince	The clocks at the doctor's offices and hospitals were all off.
[00:17]	Isambard_Prince	So you built in another ten minutes to get to your appointment.
[00:17]	Isambard_Prince	I mean, people just adjusted for the fact that nobody had exactly the correct time.
[00:18]	Isambard_Prince	But now the exact time is very useful.
[00:18]	Isambard_Prince	Because the clock at work is accurate, and the time the movie starts is accurate, and the clock at the doctor's office or hospital is accurate.
[00:18]	Isambard_Prince	So you need an accurate one too.
[00:18]	Isambard_Prince	If you aren't going to go for an atomic timekeeping model, at least do get a digital one. They don't have to be very expensive.
[00:19]	Isambard_Prince	A $15 Casio will gain or lose 10 seconds a month.
[00:19]	MinceR	all my watches are digital
[00:19]	Isambard_Prince	A Rolex will do that every DAY.
[00:19]	MinceR	i remember having a watch with both an analog and a digital display, both made out of LCD segments
[00:19]	MinceR	but i don't know how i got that or where it is now
[00:21]	Isambard_Prince	Mine is ana-digital.
[00:21]	Isambard_Prince	The timekeeping is digital, but with an analog display and a digital window on it.
[00:21]	Isambard_Prince	I usually have day/date on that.
[00:21]	MinceR	:>
[00:22]	MinceR	now i mostly use a watch with a MIP LCD dot matrix display
[00:22]	Isambard_Prince	But it has digital clock, stopwatch, compass, whole bunch of stuff.
[00:22]	MinceR	same
[00:23]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I had a good time last week, at least. I brought a pasta salad and a bunch of Negra Modelo with me.
[00:23]	MinceR	does it ask you to calibrate the compass every time you start using the compass?
[00:23]	Isambard_Prince	I stole one of O'Neill's lines when I came in and modified it.
[00:23]	Isambard_Prince	"I brought food! And beer. It's a refreshing substitute for food."
[00:24]	MinceR	:>
[00:24]	Isambard_Prince	We had a bunch of Filipino food but my favorite was that roasted pig.
[00:24]	Isambard_Prince	Lechon Baboy
[00:24]	Isambard_Prince	Of course when we were done with it, it looked like something out of The Lord of the Flies.
[00:24]	Isambard_Prince	The head and a bunch of bones.
[00:24]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[00:25]	MinceR	:)
[00:25]	Isambard_Prince	I should send it to that medical transport company and say "At least when you're charging for deadhead miles, have the decency to put a dead head in the van."
[00:28]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Can you tell I have the same mental illness that Robin Williams had?
[00:29]	MinceR	which is that?
[00:29]	Isambard_Prince	Bipolar Disorder.
[00:29]	MinceR	ah, i thought it was 'being sane in a world built for idiots'
[00:29]	Isambard_Prince	Maybe that's what bipolar disorder is.
[00:31]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Being sane in a world meant for idiots is even worse than being left-handed in a world that assumes everyone is right-handed.
[00:31]	MinceR	indeed
[00:31]	Isambard_Prince	And it's even less common than being left-handed, so that makes it even harder.
[00:31]	MinceR	but at least you get front row seats to the freakshow
[00:32]	Isambard_Prince	Mandy is extremely irrational and not very smart, and he's left-handed.
[00:32]	Isambard_Prince	Not everyone who is left-handed is smart, in fact I don't think the two are related at all.
[00:32]	Isambard_Prince	Or if they are, then only somewhat correlated.
[00:33]	MinceR	the ratio of left-handed people is said to be at least 9.2%, which is a lot higher than the ratio of smart people
[00:33]	Isambard_Prince	Some of the smartest people I've met are left-handed, so I started going "there might be something to that" but then I met Mandy. He can't figure out how to budget, file an income tax return, or pay bills.
[00:33]	MinceR	:>
[00:33]	Isambard_Prince	So of course he says he wants a divorce to "cut loose" from the only person who cares about him and can solve these problems for him.
[00:33]	Isambard_Prince	As if I was some useless burden.
[00:34]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, You cut loose from people who are leaving you with all the problems you had anyway and theirs.
[00:34]	Isambard_Prince	Like the people mom was marrying after she left my dad.
[00:34]	Isambard_Prince	Of course, you have to be smart for this to occur to you.
[00:34]	Isambard_Prince	And neither of them are.
[00:35]	Isambard_Prince	My mom kept thinking that she'd "fix" very bad men.
[00:35]	Isambard_Prince	And in reality, you don't fix bad people, they drag you down.
[00:35]	MinceR	well, you can fix bad people, but states tend to put you in prison for that
[00:36]	MinceR	or to kill you for it
[00:36]	Isambard_Prince	They have no need to change because what they're doing is working for them.
[00:36]	Isambard_Prince	If they cheat on you and get away with it, it's working for them.
[00:36]	Isambard_Prince	Why change?
[00:36]	Isambard_Prince	If they spend all the money and you just pick up more hours, it's working for them. Why change?
[00:36]	Isambard_Prince	The only way people ever might change is if you let them deal with their own mess, and even then, not always.
[00:37]	Isambard_Prince	<MinceR> well, you can fix bad people, but states tend to put you in prison for that
[00:37]	Isambard_Prince	That must be why the blacks call murdering someone "making them good".
[00:37]	MinceR	:>
[00:37]	Isambard_Prince	What happened to Joe? "Man N***a, dodn't you hear? Motherfucker got made good!
[00:38]	MinceR	lol
[00:38]	Isambard_Prince	I was at the car repair place and someone turned the radio to bluetooth and someone was rapping "something something nigga nigga pussy juice".
[00:39]	Isambard_Prince	And I was like "nigga nigga pussy juice, wow, they're a wordsmith".
[00:39]	Isambard_Prince	Not out loud.
[00:39]	Isambard_Prince	But I might have laughed at my own inner monologue.
[00:40]	Isambard_Prince	I hope it occurs to anyone who calls me disgusting for being gay that there are literally people in this world that are rapping about "pussy juice" on Spotify.

[03:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	it does not mean actual hard cash  at hand or the bank
[03:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	i used to take it literally
[03:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	then i checked
[03:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	as someone pointed out the anomaly
[03:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/cash-on-hand
[03:53]	TR Bot	( status 403 @ https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/cash-on-hand )
[03:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Cash on hand, sometimes referred to as cash or cash equivalents (CCE), is the total amount of cash a business can access, whether from its on-site paper bills or from its bank accounts and assets. Typically, business owners consider any asset they can liquidate into cash in 90 days or fewer as cash on hand. Sometimes, businesses have cash funds they can't spend, such as minimum deposits they have to leave in their bank. Business 
[03:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	owners deduct this amount from their calculated cash on hand to arrive at the accurate sum."
[03:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	90 days
[03:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	liquidation
[03:54]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Yes. You take your assets minus liabilities.
[03:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Differences between petty cash and cash on hand
[03:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	Some business owners and employees may have to consider cash on hand and also manage petty cash. To ensure you can distinguish between these terms and their business functions, here are some of the key differences between the two:
[03:54]	Isambard_Prince	That's your net worth.
[03:54]	Isambard_Prince	And if it's negative, you have a problem.
[03:54]	Isambard_Prince	A big problem.
[03:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Petty cash refers to a sum of cash that a business keeps in bills on the premises. Typically stored in a lockbox or safe, petty cash enables business owners and managers to pay for minor daily expenses without having to write checks or use credit cards. Petty cash therefore only refers to actual paper bills and coins."
[03:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Cash on hand, however, can include paper bills dispersed across a businessin registers, safes and employees' possessionas well as non-liquid funds stored in banks. Cash on hand is a mix of assets easily converted to liquid cash and, usually, is mostly not in cash form."
[03:55]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Mom had a boss that would go pass out Christmas bonuses out of the petty cash.
[03:55]	Isambard_Prince	And not even put it on their tax forms.
[03:56]	Isambard_Prince	Years of waste and bad accounting practices and bad people in charge caused one of their facilities to close.
[03:56]	Isambard_Prince	The other one is teetering on it right now.
[03:56]	Isambard_Prince	A bad director of nursing ran out all the good ones.
[03:56]	Isambard_Prince	Now they're getting agency people, much more expensive.
[03:56]	Isambard_Prince	The place became so ghetto that staff are having fist fights in the halls.
[03:58]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I helped a friend save his restaurant business.
[03:58]	Isambard_Prince	I went through the place as if I was a customer and told him all the things I noticed and would change if I was running a restaurant. Including some things that most customers wouldn't know of course.
[03:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	agency people arfe a problem in nursing
[03:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	they don't knoiw the tenants
[03:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	or patients
[03:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	or their conditions
[03:59]	Isambard_Prince	Like to ditch canned sodas for a Pepsi fountain, and to change credit card processors.
[03:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	they also don't know where things are
[03:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	so they are slower
[03:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	and they don't know who's who
[03:59]	Isambard_Prince	The profits have to lean on drinks.

[04:01]	Isambard_Prince	I also asked what he was paying for proteins for the food, like there's several options for most dishes, and sometimes you can eliminate the one where inflation is hurting you bad and leave the others, or sort them so customers buy more of the higher margin one, by listing those first on the menu.
[04:01]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Well, the Fed is already having their oh shit moment with the interest rates.
[04:02]	Isambard_Prince	They're cutting them aggressively after leaving them high for a long time.
[04:02]	Isambard_Prince	But when they start cutting is usually too late to avoid a recession.
[04:02]	Isambard_Prince	Especially now that the Trump administration is hiding inflation and making jobs reports out of thin air so the Fed wouldn't even know how to operate with the data they do get.
[04:03]	Isambard_Prince	They realize that we're in trouble, but they don't know how much. Other than the data they collect directly, the stuff they rely on the government for has turned completely unreliable.
[04:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	<schestowitz[TR2]> Isambard_Prince: did you see https://techrights.org/n/2025/08/03/Definitely_Not_a_Ponzi_Scheme.shtml ?

[04:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	chatbots were always crap
[04:04]	Isambard_Prince	Well, it goes up until it doesn't, right?
[04:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	they are based on false assumption
[04:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	or false marketingh
[04:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	like the idea they are "conversational"
[04:05]	Isambard_Prince	Remember that the dotcom bubble hurt a lot of companies that were healthy at the time. 
[04:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	if you converse with someone
[04:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	that person absorbs what you say
[04:05]	Isambard_Prince	And it destroyed a few. that had potential.
[04:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	chatbots do nmot have memory
[04:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	they emulate wisdom
[04:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	poorrrly
[04:05]	Isambard_Prince	Because suddenly everyone assumed that everything "might be bad" and pulled the money out.
[04:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	so they are a waste of time
[04:05]	MinceR	devil apes also emulate wisdom
[04:05]	MinceR	but they usually do it worse
[04:05]	MinceR	and devil apes are a waste of all resources
[04:06]	Isambard_Prince	When you get people investing in things they do not understand, first it shoots up.
[04:06]	Isambard_Prince	Then something happens, they all get spooked, and their "solution" is to not invest at all.
[04:06]	Isambard_Prince	But this is why trying to pick winners and losers is bad and diversification is good.
[04:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	MinceR: devil ape see, devil ape do

[04:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	you give people shares
[04:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	instead of salaries
[04:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	and then put restriction on sale
[04:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	like, cannot sell for 6 months
[04:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	or pay huge tax to sell early
[04:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	so you make them stuck ij the pyramid scheme
[04:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	lots of time for those at the top to offload

[04:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	suppose i make a typo

[04:21]	Isambard_Prince	The productivity gains are not there, it costs money then you have to supervise and edit it.
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	less so in articles

[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	which you can correct?
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	worse yet?>
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	if it writes something that need to be read
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	then deleted entirely
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	then rewritten from scratch
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	you lose a lot of time
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	and it's risky, too
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	there is no use case here
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	or hardly
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	my sister is not racist afaik
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	but a decade ago she said their company hired indian developers
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	they wrote code
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	but it was not good code
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	they had to fix it
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	and it took a lot of work to fix it
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	so that didn't save more
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	it just created more
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	work
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	so that's basically what sl0op does
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	slop CAN replace humans
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	but not skilled humans
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	like a CCCTV can replace a doorman
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	for some   things
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	but CCTV would not steop a bad person
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	it just takes footage
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	and that is about it
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	and it would not be worth the money
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	to find, catch, prosecute this person
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	so you don't need CTV
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	you need people at the scene

[22:12]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Think I got a bad KDE update.
[22:12]	Isambard_Prince	The kwin_wayland screen locker seems to die and need a hard reset sometimes of the entire computer.
[22:12]	Isambard_Prince	I might switch over to the X11 one and see if the issue persists.
[22:13]	Isambard_Prince	Rumors of the demise of kwin_x11 have been greatly exagerated. They're still fixing issues with that one. It's not as much "work" purely because the code is more mature.
