04:23 schestowitz[TR2]; Ontario Criminal eats insects

04:23 schestowitz[TR2]; O Canada.

04:23 schestowitz[TR2]; So I guess there is worse than eating raw foods for pets

04:23 IsambardPrince; Eating insects is something only two kinds of people would do.

04:23 IsambardPrince; So poor that there's no other choice.

04:24 IsambardPrince; And the insane.

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; "Autistic man living on dog food denied support by East Riding Council - BBC News'

04:24 IsambardPrince; I remember an article where a guy asked his father-in-law why they ate bugs in his country.

04:24 IsambardPrince; He said "Because we were poor and there was nothing else."

04:25 IsambardPrince; Ringing endorsement.

04:25 IsambardPrince; This is basically what the Davos and UN crowd want to do to America, and the UK.

04:25 IsambardPrince; I hope you know this.

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; i heard

04:25 IsambardPrince; Trump would have his hands full at this point trying to fix this country.

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; did not pay much attention

04:25 IsambardPrince; The Venezuelans need to be evicted.

04:26 schestowitz[TR2]; there is a straw man there

04:26 IsambardPrince; And then we need to expel the UN people and retake the building in New York.

04:26 IsambardPrince; Then we need to blow up the infrastructure in Iran, like power stations, with Tomahawk missiles.

04:26 IsambardPrince; And other targets.

04:26 IsambardPrince; Until they're no longer a threat to the region.

04:27 IsambardPrince; I'm not talking about an invasion.

04:27 IsambardPrince; I'm talking about "degrade".

04:27 IsambardPrince; The US had successfully degraded Saddam Hussein's ability to threaten the neighbors with the No Fly Zone and occasional bombing runs and missile attacks.

04:27 IsambardPrince; He was strong enough to prevent a Muslim revolution.

04:28 IsambardPrince; Too weak to start another war.

04:28 IsambardPrince; We need to do something like that to Iran.

04:28 IsambardPrince; They're supporting all sorts of troublemakers, from Palestinian terrorists, to Houthis, with money that Joe Biden unfroze.

04:29 IsambardPrince; The on stage mental incontinence at the debate was the cherry on the top. It was questionable what would happen in November.

04:29 IsambardPrince; Now, not so much.

04:29 IsambardPrince; If they can't get him to step aside, the Democrats have no chance at all.

04:30 IsambardPrince; The polling data in the Midwest is bad. But he's also on the verge of losing Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Nevada, which were fairly over on the D side of the fence prior to this.

04:30 IsambardPrince; He's have to run the table with basically 9 states that are all too close to call.

04:30 IsambardPrince; Trump only needs a few of them.

04:31 IsambardPrince; The odds of Biden winning 8 or 9 coin tosses in a row is, just not realistic. And his own party realizes it.

04:31 IsambardPrince; They're all nowhere to be found or are calling on him to leave.

04:31 IsambardPrince; Obama hasn't been heard from in over a month.

04:31 IsambardPrince; Clinton's nowhere around.

04:32 IsambardPrince; Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have asked him to leave.

04:32 IsambardPrince; His donors stopped giving him money.

04:32 IsambardPrince; George Clooney said that at the fundraiser dinner, it was "Biden from the debate." on the stage.

04:33 IsambardPrince; They're all running away like rats from a flood.

04:33 IsambardPrince; And the campaign itself is trying to decide if Kamala Harris would have a better shot against Trump.

06:01 Sompi; now the partitioning system in ST-DOS works

06:01 Sompi; I installed it to an i3 machine and created 21 partitions of 2047 MBs

06:02 Sompi; and I noticed a bug, the installer cannot partition the target disk automatically when the computer does not have floppy drives...

06:11 Sompi; and it is incompatible with UEFI because UEFI is hardcoded to GPT partitioning and ST-DOS uses its own partitioning scheme...

06:16 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: The restaurants are really slow.

06:17 IsambardPrince; Slipping a lot of good deals that stack.

06:17 IsambardPrince; I combined one on one of my credit cards with one on my gas rebate app for 25.3% back total.

06:17 IsambardPrince; What we're seeing it them making people work for the deal instead of committing to lower prices.

06:46 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: This sounds ridiculous.

06:46 IsambardPrince; "0% introductory plan fee on each purchase moved into a plan during the first 15 months after account opening. After that, your plan fee will be up to 1.33% of each purchase moved into a plan based on the plan duration, the APR that would otherwise apply to the purchase and other factors."

06:47 IsambardPrince; So basically if you use a Plan for a major purchase after the first 15 months, then they not only charge you the APR that would apply by not using a Plan, but also another 1.33% "and other factors".

06:47 IsambardPrince; LOL

07:37 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: The electric company doesn't allow credit cards for autopay.

07:37 IsambardPrince; So I have to call in and use my credit card (no fee) every month when I get the "statement is ready" email. (No fee.)

07:37 IsambardPrince; They don't really want people set up so every month they're earning credit card "miles", "points", "cashback", whatever.

07:38 IsambardPrince; But it's a large bill and it's easily payable with something that rebates you 3%.

07:38 IsambardPrince; The electric rate board is like the landlord.

07:38 IsambardPrince; The only thing they exist to do is decide how much more they'll rip you off for next year, and how long they can make you go without electric every time it rains a little.

07:57 IsambardPrince; What he did back then can't be structured the same way now, but it still happens.

07:57 TR News; Years ago LWN was banning comments from trans people. How dare they say RMS is NOT transphobic and that some trans radicals/fringe were misusing the label to go after innocent people?

07:57 IsambardPrince; BAPCPA (the bankruptcy reform law) made it so personal bankruptcies that liquidate debt of this magnitude are not really possible.

07:57 TR News; So LWN's censorship ambitions are about becoming more "advertiser-friendly", that's all

07:58 IsambardPrince; If you're making below $60,000-$80,000 a year you can't bring millions of dollars of debt into a Chapter 7.

08:02 TR News; There are probably some people with Native-Apache roots out there watching the micro-aggressions against a software project, wanting to say something but fearing they would get crucified as "traiters" or self-haters in Social Control Media by mindless mobs looking for anything to get angry at/about

08:02 IsambardPrince; In every publication that is covering that.

08:02 IsambardPrince; Some people are constantly in trouble every day of their lives, "known to police".

08:03 IsambardPrince; Eventually one day they draw unwanted police attention, and the police get sick of it, and kill them.

08:03 IsambardPrince; The riots happened and so everyone had to pretend to change for a while, but this is no longer useful.

08:51 IsambardPrince; > Perhaps the best evidence of how the fight will play out comes from legislative battles at the state level. In early June, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launched a political-action committee to fight a state ballot initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana. The very same week, he vetoed a bill that would have restricted hemp cannabinoids in the state.

08:51 IsambardPrince; > Industries this large can be corralled by regulation, but theyre tough to destroy. By the time Floridas anti-delta-8 bill came across DeSantiss desk, he had probably noticed the billboards begging him not to eliminate 100,000 jobs in the state. The high-on-hemp business, in other words, may already be too big to ban.
