06:43 shrimpboatcaptain; A Gold Sponsor is this:

06:43 shrimpboatcaptain; "Microsoft, who enables digital transformation for the era of an intelligent cloud and an intelligent edge. Its mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more."

06:43 shrimpboatcaptain; You've got to be FUCKING KIDDING ME

06:44 shrimpboatcaptain; I wouldn't be surprised if Debian is undermined by M$ in the long run, which of course I know could be one of their sinister goals

06:44 shrimpboatcaptain; Look how many distros are based on Debian!

06:44 shrimpboatcaptain; For one thing, that is.

06:45 shrimpboatcaptain; look at the mess which is snaps in ubuntu

06:46 shrimpboatcaptain; IMO Ubuntu/Canonical should just be considered to be a lost cause and M$ should just outright buy them out.

06:46 shrimpboatcaptain; Not that I favor it, but I find it to be eventual anyway...

06:47 shrimpboatcaptain; Now to get inside and rot out Debian would be a grand accomplishment for M$

06:49 shrimpboatcaptain; I'm just TIRED of the public doing NOTHING in regards to the continued monopoly and dirty tricks of M$

06:53 shrimpboatcaptain; I suppose you've already read about this news, but if not, please spread the information! I'm actually shocked at this bullshit.

07:00 shrimpboatcaptain; In the past, when I've read about a company or individual standing against M$ and in such a place where they WON'T allow M$ to fuck them over, time and time again, like clockwork, they eventually come out and say they are either now a partner with and/or their attitude has changed, like something out of a body snatchers movie

07:01 shrimpboatcaptain; I mean they undergo a complete transformation!

07:01 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: Here's what I posted.

07:01 IsambardPrince; > Something that cost an enormous amount of money, had lots of disposable parts, and the reusability ended up being a major liability that killed two entire crews less than 20 years apart despite an enormous amount of money spent reconditioning the orbiter and SRBs every single time.

07:01 shrimpboatcaptain; It's just unfucking canny.

07:01 IsambardPrince; >

07:01 IsambardPrince; > Not only that, the Soviet Union's shuttle was better designed, had a safer launch abort system complete with ejection seats (which NASA scrapped after the first few launches), had a higher lift to orbit capability, and safer propellant for the rocket boosters. All while being designed on time and under-budget.

07:01 IsambardPrince; >

07:01 IsambardPrince; > All this so that it could fly one time and get destroyed in a barn because they designed it while the USSR was coming apart (still doing a better job) and then couldn't maintain it.

07:01 IsambardPrince; >

07:01 IsambardPrince; > The US Space Shuttle was a failure that kept on going because the US government kept pumping a lot of money into it. It's not terribly unique in concept. It's like a bad car that can keep running as long as you're willing to pay the costs.

07:01 IsambardPrince; >

07:01 IsambardPrince; > NASA is a big government program that doesn't work very well. It's finally gotten so bad that an overgrown manbaby with fratboy behaviors and fascist ideology that smokes drugs on Joe Rogan has a more successful space program.

07:01 IsambardPrince; >

07:01 IsambardPrince; > To justify its many operational failures, the enormous cost (financial and opportunity, and lives of the crews that it killed), the US started pointing to intangibles, such as the Shuttle-Mir program smoothing things over with the Russians politically. Which could have been done on Earth, cheaper. And which has come entirely unraveled.

07:02 IsambardPrince; >

07:02 IsambardPrince; > The majority of people in the US who work full time and are poor are poor because of bad comprehension of basic financial concepts, which is how they max out all their credit cards, get a loan to "buy" a Tesla or an $80,000 SUV, get a mortgage in this economy, and load themselves up on student loan debt and then, only then, have some idea of what debt is.

07:02 IsambardPrince; >

07:02 IsambardPrince; > In other countries, to be poor, that's just expected because they have nothing and in the US people are poor because many wanted for nothing until they got themselves into huge financial troubles so they could "own" an $80,000 SUV, max out the cards, and get a house that they wouldn't own for at least 30 years, even if they could pay it back without all this other crap weighing them down and tugging in the other direction. Then they

The banks like your deficits (credit cards, mortgages, personal loans, auto loans, boat loans), they like it when the number goes negative, it means you owe them money! With interest, which is the time value of money. Which is how much harder you have to work because you didn't wait to buy the thing.

07:03 IsambardPrince; >

07:03 IsambardPrince; > They like it when you have kids. The banks like kids. They like it that you have to come ask them for money for diapers and formula, they lock those up now. Great country. You'll have to clothe them and feed them, and pay people to watch them because you're working to pay people to watch them, and eventually they grow up and become worker consumers themselves! All at your expense to the bank!

07:03 IsambardPrince; >

07:03 IsambardPrince; > The bank is very supportive of all your mistakes. When you marry the wrong person or buy a car that's too expensive, you need to come to them for money to pay divorce lawyers and struggle to own a car that's breaking down while you're trying to pay the loan.

07:03 IsambardPrince; >

07:03 IsambardPrince; > The bank hardly ever says no, and when they do, they say you can trick someone into assuming responsibility for the debt if you fall over, which is called a co-signature.

07:03 IsambardPrince; >

07:03 IsambardPrince; > They love watching people juggling deficits. They watch you work three jobs and die of a heart attack and sue your estate. Sure, there's an occasional bankruptcy or person who is judgment proof, but they'll tolerate it because like Doctor Evil said about Preperation H, it's good on the whole.

07:10 shrimpboatcaptain; I about lost my shit when I read: [M$] "Its mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more."

07:11 shrimpboatcaptain; Get fucking real! :o

07:12 shrimpboatcaptain; but on a debian page? WTF

07:16 shrimpboatcaptain; am I alone here have you witnessed the strange transformation companies/people fall into when being woo'd by M$?

07:16 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: Dave Ramsey mocked people for being pressured to buy houses.

07:17 IsambardPrince; "What's wrong with you? You've been married for 20 minutes and you don't have a house yet? BUY A HOUSE!....BUY A HOUSE! BUY A HOUSE! BUY A HOUSE! BUY A HOUSE! BUY A HOUSE! So what if you're broke, have a $1,200 a month car fleece, got credit cards coming out your ears, student loans, EVERYONE needs a house!"

07:17 IsambardPrince; But he never says that about kids.

07:18 IsambardPrince; He has 8 grandchildren.

07:18 IsambardPrince; You could just replace "Buy a house!" with "Have some kids!" and it would be just as funny.

07:19 schestowitz[TR]; they get bribes

07:19 schestowitz[TR]; it's a shift in strategy

07:19 schestowitz[TR]; it started in 2006

07:26 IsambardPrince; And how some of it makes more sense, really.

07:26 shrimpboatcaptain; thx

07:26 IsambardPrince; You know what you'll pay and you know when it will stop.

07:26 shrimpboatcaptain; thx for appearing here, I'll be back another day

07:26 IsambardPrince; You can set up an installment plan. It can even have fees. But there is a timeframe for paying off each thing.

07:26 shrimpboatcaptain; maybe I'll even register a nick here (but not this one, it's a burner one)

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; for a while they forced people to register

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; to access the main channels

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; but that was loosened days later

07:27 shrimpboatcaptain; #soylent requires it

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; we mentioned that in techrights

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; it plays into the trolls' hands

07:27 IsambardPrince; You put a Macbook on a credit card and make the minimum payments. You will make your last payment 7 years from now. Assuming nothing else goes on the card.

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; but driving away many users

07:27 IsambardPrince; And you will have paid for about 12 of them.

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; required

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; no longer does

07:27 schestowitz[TR]; unless... they brought that back

07:27 ciphrCat; psydruid: thanks for the update

07:27 shrimpboatcaptain; lemmie check

07:28 shrimpboatcaptain; yup

07:28 IsambardPrince; You put one on an Amazon Store Card installment plan, you pay for 1/6th of the Macbook in equal installments until it's yours with no interest or fees.

07:28 shrimpboatcaptain; must register for #soylent

07:28 schestowitz[TR]; oh, again

07:28 shrimpboatcaptain; but that's acceptable

07:28 IsambardPrince; It forces you to pay it off, and know what you pay.

07:28 schestowitz[TR]; i'd better not lose my connection then

07:28 schestowitz[TR]; or "time out"

07:28 IsambardPrince; Muslims could even technically use an AmEx charge card.

07:28 IsambardPrince; Those require pay in full, or they cut you off.

07:28 IsambardPrince; If it keeps happening that you don't, they take it away.

07:28 shrimpboatcaptain; I'd register whatever you use here just in case

07:29 schestowitz[TR2]; i want to share it

07:29 schestowitz[TR2]; the chain dangling part

07:29 IsambardPrince; With interest-bearing finance you just never know what you pay. So the Muslim system is a lot less retarded, for financing things.

07:30 schestowitz[TR]; catspaws

07:30 shrimpboatcaptain; wow

07:30 shrimpboatcaptain; for real? that's insane

07:30 IsambardPrince; You know who gives us interest-bearing finance? The banks. Lots of Jewish-sounding names in there. But....

07:30 IsambardPrince; Before we get all hasty....

07:30 IsambardPrince; They did also have the Jubilee concept.

07:30 IsambardPrince; Which is where bankruptcy comes from.

07:30 schestowitz[TR]; not spontanerous

07:31 schestowitz[TR]; some of it

07:31 schestowitz[TR]; i had to spend loads of time and money on lawyers

07:31 schestowitz[TR]; as they target my whole family now

07:31 IsambardPrince; Even the Jewish financiers knew somewhere that pursuing a debtor who can't pay you excessively is cruel.

07:31 schestowitz[TR]; esp. the lawyers

07:31 IsambardPrince; And there should be some forgiveness.

07:31 shrimpboatcaptain; that's fucked up I'm sorry to hear about that

07:31 schestowitz[TR]; but the police is on the case

07:31 schestowitz[TR]; just very slow

07:31 shrimpboatcaptain; best wishes for you and your fam

07:31 IsambardPrince; What keeps people from filing bankruptcy when they should is pride.

07:32 shrimpboatcaptain; exposing truth ruffles many a feather

07:32 IsambardPrince; Pride goes before a fall.

07:32 shrimpboatcaptain; and if you don't back down ...

07:32 shrimpboatcaptain; you get "body snatched" with a M$ pod person

07:32 shrimpboatcaptain; (in minecraft)

07:32 shrimpboatcaptain; :P

07:34 shrimpboatcaptain; I have some great "partner" quotes with companies and M$ somewhere on storage I'll have to rummage

07:34 shrimpboatcaptain; it all sounds so fake

07:34 shrimpboatcaptain; like they have been changed

07:35 schestowitz[TR]; it is part of the bribe

07:35 schestowitz[TR]; to repeat some lies

07:35 schestowitz[TR]; like with legal settlement

07:35 schestowitz[TR]; or the Torvalds "apology"

07:35 schestowitz[TR]; they shove words into your mouth

07:44 shrimpboatcaptain; https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-stuck-with-mikerowesoft-mess/

07:44 IsambardPrince; $9,000 in interest over a five year car loan is about 0.9% of the cost of having one child.

07:45 IsambardPrince; The child would be an 18 year thing but meh.

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; no

07:45 IsambardPrince; A million is bigger than nine thousand.

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; this is 1990s

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; the "18"

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; people say,

07:46 schestowitz[TR2]; <IsambardPrince> schestowitz[TR2]: The concept of debt makes my skin crawl.

07:46 IsambardPrince; It's the cost of being a poser.

07:47 IsambardPrince; People get rid of a lot of cars that are still decent.

07:47 IsambardPrince; I was looking at a 2008 Chevy truck today.

07:47 IsambardPrince; 5.3 V8.

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; for maybe half the purcfhasing price

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; but who wants a $50k car?

07:48 IsambardPrince; They only wanted like $8,000 for it.

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; even if it's hard the original price?

07:48 IsambardPrince; You buy a new one it will cost you $80,000.

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; repair would be like a month's salary

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; just one repair

07:48 IsambardPrince; 80,000 plus interest minus $8,000 to buy it.

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; biab

07:48 IsambardPrince; You could buy the 2008 truck for the cost of interest on the new one.

07:48 IsambardPrince; Maybe less.

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; rianne should watch that dave clip

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; and the bird came

07:49 schestowitz[TR2]; to eat near me

07:49 IsambardPrince; The 2008 truck had no rust and it looked like it was just detailed.

07:49 IsambardPrince; I could take it to Shaq and see what he says about it.

07:49 schestowitz[TR2]; why? is the buick "expired"?

07:49 IsambardPrince; People get all like "I WANT A NEW TRUCK!!!

07:49 schestowitz[TR2]; why even shop around

07:49 IsambardPrince; No, it's not.

07:49 schestowitz[TR2]; boredom?

07:49 schestowitz[TR2]; fantasy?

07:49 IsambardPrince; Buick runs fine.

07:49 schestowitz[TR2]; class envy?

07:50 IsambardPrince; I'm not going to buy the truck.

07:50 schestowitz[TR2]; i don't check even used cars

07:50 IsambardPrince; I just like it.

07:50 schestowitz[TR2]; unless i walk past them

07:50 schestowitz[TR2]; then i look for a bit

07:50 schestowitz[TR2]; same for real estate

07:50 IsambardPrince; It's free to look.

07:50 IsambardPrince; A reliable truck would be a good acquisition.

07:50 IsambardPrince; I could get a lot of practical use out of it.

07:50 schestowitz[TR]; seems microsoft controls history

07:51 schestowitz[TR]; wikipedia = gates, microsoft funded

07:51 IsambardPrince; They're a gas guzzler that are not particularly fun to drive though.

07:51 shrimpboatcaptain; I would before submitting them to you for a publication

07:51 shrimpboatcaptain; I was just bringing up some mentions

07:55 IsambardPrince; From the Japanese.

07:55 shrimpboatcaptain; tor still blocked @ your main server ;(

07:56 IsambardPrince; The electric shit is just some stupid liberal pipe dream from people who don't understand engineering, money, or anything else.

07:56 shrimpboatcaptain; at least 6667 is

07:56 IsambardPrince; And Tesla has to resort to fraud to make the price look lower.

07:57 shrimpboatcaptain; 6697 / ssl connects without any notice

07:57 IsambardPrince; Like deducting $20,000 from the sale price and saying that'll come after tax credits most people can't get, or at least not fully.

07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; rianne watches this now

07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; and she nods

07:57 IsambardPrince; I want a Honda.

07:57 IsambardPrince; A Honda Civic.

18:43 admfubar; intensity of flavor of anything depends on the conditions to which it is grown in..

18:44 ciphrCat; admfubar: probably to some extent, but id say genetics matters most

18:46 ciphrCat; there was that recent jalepno conspiracy where people started to notice jalepnos are no longer as hot as they used to be. Researchers dug into it and found that they are being deliberately bred to be mild

18:47 admfubar; peppers get hotter in more stressful conditions, while genetics make the capsicum oils in the fist place.

18:47 ciphrCat; ..because canned salsa producers want to be able to make mild salsa, and then just add some heat separately to have control

18:49 ciphrCat; hence why we got fucked on jalepnos

18:52 ciphrCat; since farmers cater for the big customers (the canning industry), and water costs them, they bred them to be mild.

18:54 ciphrCat; not sure why some rebel farmer doesnt try to lock-in the 10% market of people buying groceries and breed them to be hot

22:38 IsambardPrince; It can definitely be worth having a 0% interest credit card if you need to make some room in your budget for a car.

22:38 IsambardPrince; Most cards have an 18-21 month 0% interest intro.

22:38 psydruid; time for clown corporations to disappear from the IT landscape

22:39 IsambardPrince; So if the dealer lets you put like $3000-5000 on a credit card, you can get some cash back and move it out of the way for a while.

22:39 IsambardPrince; Just be very careful with that.

23:01 geert; ciphrCat: we do not get leaders because the masses should counter 'problems'

23:01 geert; many many years the 'masses' werent wise enough, it wasn't reasons that people who got more development on the particular subjects just let those masses decide crap

23:02 geert; during many thousands years, any society got way less leaders than followers

23:02 geert; the followers didnt want to be follower to decide too much

23:02 geert; it also isnt 'democracy' as in 'masses should decide'

23:03 geert; current system has not been decided by 'masses' either, so now why should that be excuse to DEMAND masses decide about improvement?

23:03 geert; current system rather introduced by few, to curb the masses more than to get them wise

23:03 geert; besides another issue with what you stated with 'masses not being wise enough'

23:04 geert; much systemic these days pretty much DEstimulate masses FROM Wisdom instead of TO.

23:04 geert; money does not particularly 'reward' Wisdom

23:04 geert; state of law doesn't either

23:05 geert; so to then masses not getting very knowledged seems more of expectable effect than cause to me
