01:05 eidolon; Shilling Assault Penetrators with a rate of 260tpm (Thrusts Per Minute). The Founders could not have envisaged.

01:05 eidolon; D;

01:09 MinceR; :)

01:22 IsambardPrince; Having sex is cheap amusement, until it's not.

01:22 IsambardPrince; AIDS, pregnancy, STIs.

01:23 IsambardPrince; Apps that sell who your sex partners are and which PrEP drugs you're on to Facebook.

01:25 TR Bot; AI Overviews Will Always Be Broken. That's How AI Works | WIRED

01:25 IsambardPrince; They don't care if it's right or wrong, or leads people to their death with bad information, or plumbs Reddit and spews nonsense.

01:26 IsambardPrince; They can stick ads on it.

01:31 *Righty has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

01:37 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: I had salmon for the first time in a while.

01:37 IsambardPrince; Every time I eat it I remember that horrible British restaurant.

01:38 IsambardPrince; With undercooked salmon that had me shitting my guts out later.

01:38 IsambardPrince; And ants crawling everywhere.

01:39 IsambardPrince; John says they spent $56 at Chipotle the other day on two burritos and a burrito bowl.

01:39 IsambardPrince; You can cook that at home for <$15, certainly.

01:39 IsambardPrince; They're spending almost $2,000 a month eating out.

01:40 IsambardPrince; Then they missed the rent payment.

01:40 IsambardPrince; So his landlord came in and started bitching about Jose's "depression pile" of laundry on the floor and stuff. And this and that.

01:40 IsambardPrince; They never heard from the guy until they were little late on the rent, and two days later he had to come in and look around.

01:41 IsambardPrince; Well, he ended up being sorry that he looked because there was a sinkhole opening up in the bathroom floor that John never told him about and now he's gotta spend a bunch of money fixing it.

01:51 IsambardPrince; Nothing the government is doing is stopping the STI rate from skyrocketing.

01:52 IsambardPrince; We have twice as many new syphilis cases in the US now than we did in a year ~10 years ago.

01:52 IsambardPrince; It's because people are disgusting and stupid, and a lot of the stupidity is because the government doesn't want to teach them anything because people who think too much are a threat.

01:52 IsambardPrince; And people who just go to work and pay no attention to their country coming apart are not seen that way.

01:53 IsambardPrince; If they step out of line, send the police to hurt them real bad and kill them real bad.

01:53 IsambardPrince; And no more threat.

01:56 IsambardPrince; I can definitely see why Jose (John's boyfriend is depressed).

01:56 IsambardPrince; He moves out to Seattle with John, with John, with John.

01:57 IsambardPrince; And he's an illegal immigrant on DACA. Which is basically the system saying "We'll work you until you're old enough to need anything and then we'll deport you, and no you cannot apply for status."

01:57 IsambardPrince; DACA is the most fucked up shit I've ever seen.

01:58 IsambardPrince; Congress could change the law right now and let people who are not causing problems stay and throw out the violent ones, the rapists, the looters.

01:58 IsambardPrince; Nobody wants to fix anything, so things rot.

01:58 IsambardPrince; And it causes a lot of human suffering.

09:48 IsambardPrince; Yeah, they'd have to dig up the entire lot, replace them all, and then build another lot.

09:49 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: He's screwed. He can keep raging against people who pay late, but he'll never fix the place good enough to attract anyone else.

09:50 IsambardPrince; Digging things up, replacing pipes, getting rid of the 100+ year old water pumps would cost probably north of $100,000.

09:51 IsambardPrince; Every time something goes wrong in this place, it puts him months back to when he can expect to break even.

11:50 schestowitz[TR2]; Following the failure of our primary datacenter, we arranged to have our equipment shipped overseas to our research datacenter, so that we could install this equipment and restore our infrastructure to its full production capacity on SourceHut-owned hardware. At our now-deprecated site we had ten servers totalling an investment of about $50,000 USD. Some of this equipment was at the end of its operational life and was disposed of

11:50 schestowitz[TR2]; accordingly, but we arranged to have five servers shipped to Amsterdam. However, all five servers were lost in the mail. These parcels were insured with the shipping provider, but we have been unable to reach the provider for any information regarding the status of the parcels or any resources for filing an insurance claim. After several months of attempts, we have ultimately had to write these servers off."
