00:10 TR News; Good news. Jeff Bezos says there is no recession. He's doing OK.

00:12 MinceR; he's doing so well, he doesn't even want my money

00:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz: Mandy asked how I was going to put the coffee table in the dumpster. I grabbed a hammer and a crowbar and pulled the top off and showed him IKEA uses honeycomb cardboard in the middle.

00:12 DaemonFC; So I ripped it up and put it in bags and then threw it in the dumpster.

00:12 DaemonFC; Lease says "Bagged trash only." That's trash, and it's in bags.

00:14 DaemonFC; MinceR: I ripped the broken cat tree apart down to the little house at the bottom and vacuumed it out and put it in the corner.

00:14 DaemonFC; Now Bobbi still has her little house but the thing's much smaller.

00:24 DaemonFC; I just threw about half the living room away.

00:26 schestowitz; so?

00:27 MinceR; so now it approximately halved in size?

00:27 MinceR; or it's now open to the outside?

00:58 DaemonFC; Well, basically, the judge doesn't care. It wasn't anyone he cares about that got murdered. He doesn't figure "de Guzman" will come up with $7 million, and even if he does, and runs, because he's an obvious cartel member, the government profits $7 million and never even has to see the guy again, because he ran across the border. Basically, as long as the government gets $7 million out of this, it could care less if they ever see the guy again. That

00:58 DaemonFC; effectively makes the murder legal for paying the court a fee.

00:59 DaemonFC; Sadly, the government does see "justice" as a cost vs. expense ratio. If you can afford to pay the court a massive fine, you usually do get a lighter sentence, maybe lighter charges. If you can't, rot in jail for all they care. It's a system set up so that if the wealthy want to dig into their pocketbook, they can get away with some pretty nasty stuff.

01:00 DaemonFC; This is why nobody with a high net worth cares about getting caught.

01:00 DaemonFC; They rape little girls (and boys) pretty openly on an island somewhere. All the right palms are greased.

01:01 DaemonFC; They control the judges, the prosecutors, the police. They'll never get charged with anything, and even if they do they have more than enough money to make sure they can severely pervert the course of justice.

01:01 DaemonFC; If you're poor, don't even LOOK at a police officer wrong.

01:01 DaemonFC; And that's just how it is in America.

01:02 DaemonFC; Even if they charged Bill Gates with something over having Rick Jones trafficking in child smut, what would happen?

01:02 DaemonFC; Well, he'd have a fleet of lawyers, and not just a fleet of lawyers, the best lawyers.

01:02 DaemonFC; He probably gave a lot of money to the prosecutor's election fund.

01:02 DaemonFC; The judge is probably a golf buddy.

01:03 DaemonFC; And if anything did come out of this, we're not talking about any prison time, so the worst thing that could happen is electronic monitoring in his own home where he can do anything he wants forever because he'd never need to apply for a job or make another dollar from anything.

01:03 DaemonFC; This is exactly the kind of shit that Pablo Escobar got away with.

01:03 DaemonFC; Even when the government was FORCED to do something about him, it didn't do much.

01:04 DaemonFC; He got to design a mansion and call it a prison, hire his own guards who let him do whatever he wanted, and continue to run his criminal enterprise as if nothing had happened.

01:04 DaemonFC; And he had a tunnel so he could come and go and nobody would ever know he wasn't there.

01:06 DaemonFC; Ah, prison, I'd know it anywhere. MinceR Do they usually have a $15,000 bed and hookers in prison?

01:06 DaemonFC; Wow, everyone should try prison!

01:06 DaemonFC; The food is excellent with a personal chef, in prison.

01:07 DaemonFC; The really outrageous thing was that the United States had the capability, even then, to kill Escobar, and there was nothing much the government there could do to retaliate.

01:08 DaemonFC; If this guy was really wanted by the US that badly, it could have done a cruise missile strike on this "prison" and left nobody there alive.

01:08 DaemonFC; And nobody could have done shit about it.

01:17 MinceR; commietastic

01:17 DaemonFC; It's trying to set its own immigration policies.

01:18 DaemonFC; What we're witnessing right now in the States may lead to a Soviet-style breakup of the country.

01:18 MinceR; good on them

01:19 DaemonFC; The federal government in the United States is breaking down entirely.

01:19 DaemonFC; And States are legislating on issues they've never even considered.

01:19 DaemonFC; The United States is effectively turning into a Confederation.

01:20 DaemonFC; This has obviously been tried already, twice.

01:20 DaemonFC; The first United States Constitution, the Articles of Confederation.

01:20 DaemonFC; And again with a breakaway republic in the South that was defeated in a civil war.

01:21 DaemonFC; This one is turning into more of a Sleep Divorce.

01:21 DaemonFC; Like when two married people are fighting and don't want to get a divorce because it would be a disaster.

01:21 DaemonFC; So they sleep in different bedrooms, have open affairs on each other, and conduct their finances separately.

01:22 DaemonFC; But legally, nothing happened regarding the marriage dissolving.

01:25 DaemonFC; This did not have to happen. Unfortunately, we're living in a country that has become unable and unwilling to set a national policy on most things.

07:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz: They're very cognizant of the scam they pull on people with these crappy appliances that break all the time.

07:22 DaemonFC; Not only do they win if you keep playing the game, but they win if you become wary of it and think the solution is buying a protection plan from them for everything.

07:22 DaemonFC; Not everything you buy breaks down real fast, but a lot of it does.

07:23 DaemonFC; But it's like, why would you buy a $30 protection plan on a $60 coffee maker?

07:23 DaemonFC; You have to use the manufacturer warranty in the first year.

07:23 DaemonFC; And if it goes a year, it'll probably make it until just outside the second year

07:24 DaemonFC; There's this statistics thing. If it happens in the first year, it's not their problem and they don't have to help you.

07:24 DaemonFC; And if it happens after a year, it'll probably be in the 3rd year.

07:24 DaemonFC; So they sell a plan that only obligates them to do something in the least risky period of ownership, if you keep your papers.

07:25 DaemonFC; Then if they don't carry that model, they have the option to store credit you.

07:25 DaemonFC; So you're risking half of what the coffee maker costs and more than 70% of the time when it breaks they don't have to help you at all.

07:26 TR News; Banks collapse in droves, Biden borrows 3 trillions dollars, fake "tech" companies that are like 30% of S&P fire like mad (despite bailouts), now Bezos Post proudly declares, "NO RECESSION!" (yeah, let's talk about CHINA!) https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/government-debt

07:26 TR Bot; United States Government Debt

07:26 DaemonFC; So in the end they're making free money on these things. If they weren't, they wouldn't sell them.

07:27 DaemonFC; It's better to just decline and have a budget for when things break.

07:27 DaemonFC; Or go thrifting and get a bunch of older coffee machines that made it 20-30 years and will probably go for a while for $5.

07:28 schestowitz; right..

07:28 DaemonFC; Walmart always aims to have some total piece of shit to get you to go down the aisle.

07:28 DaemonFC; Something you will absolutely never ever buy if you want something that works at all.

07:28 DaemonFC; I recall when I worked there the first time, they had a $20 microwave oven.

07:28 DaemonFC; The store manager store used them and put some in the break rooms.

07:29 DaemonFC; You could put food in there as long as you wanted and it was basically frozen solid at the end of your lunch hour.

07:29 DaemonFC; So you had to have something that didn't need heated.

07:29 DaemonFC; And they had endcaps full of the things.

07:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz: Mom finds Keurig machines at the Goodwill that have never even been opened.

07:30 DaemonFC; People must see what K-Cups cost and laugh.

07:30 DaemonFC; Toss it in the donation bin.

07:30 DaemonFC; K-Cups are basically "even if the thing was free it would get expensive fast" thing.

07:31 DaemonFC; Because they could straight up give them away and make money on the pods.

07:31 schestowitz; the sunday market sells many of those capsules

07:31 schestowitz; but i never compared prices

07:31 DaemonFC; But people are dumb enough to buy them brand new and then pay for the pods. So you profit on the machine and then print money on the pods.

07:31 schestowitz; i am not dumb enough to find and buy such machines

07:31 schestowitz; even at quarter original price it'll be expensive

07:32 schestowitz; need to measure the coffee, not the packaging

07:32 DaemonFC; Almost the entire pod is not coffee.

07:32 DaemonFC; :)

07:32 schestowitz; with printers you can get copycats

07:32 schestowitz; cartridges

07:33 schestowitz; for some models

07:33 schestowitz; you cannot easily refill these

07:33 DaemonFC; You need two Tablespoons of coffee for 6 ounces of water to the SCA strength, but K-Cups don't even have that much in there.

07:33 schestowitz; they make it hard and take legggal action

07:33 DaemonFC; It's about 1.5 Tablespoons.

07:33 schestowitz; technical and litigious means

07:33 DaemonFC; You're talking 15 cents of coffee at most if you bought it in a can.

07:33 schestowitz; what if you put some coffee on those pods and put them back in?

07:33 DaemonFC; In a pod that costs 75-96 cents.

07:33 schestowitz; what does the machine check for?

07:34 DaemonFC; If you refill a disposable pod?

07:34 DaemonFC; Can't do that.

07:34 DaemonFC; The paper filter has been used already.

07:34 schestowitz; why noy?

07:34 schestowitz; how not?

07:34 DaemonFC; Plus, hot water would come out the side of the lid.

07:34 DaemonFC; :)

07:34 DaemonFC; With coffee grounds.

07:34 schestowitz; what a stuupid design

07:34 schestowitz; so the goal was to make waste

07:34 DaemonFC; Yes,

07:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz: They sell empty permanent pods on Amazon.

07:35 DaemonFC; They also sell empty disposable pods you can fill yourself.

07:35 DaemonFC; You get the best deal per pod if you buy like 1,500 of them at once.

07:36 DaemonFC; Then you have to fill them all yourself.

07:36 schestowitz; but WHY?

07:36 DaemonFC; So it still ends up costing you like half of what a store-bought pre-filled pod does.

07:36 DaemonFC; And you have to do the work.

07:47 schestowitz; 2 dollars an hour

07:47 schestowitz; then fired them

07:47 schestowitz; to tone down and sanitise this

07:47 schestowitz; basically to add ccensorship

07:48 schestowitz; it did not cost microsoft much to hire those "slaves"

07:48 schestowitz; and then discard them

07:48 schestowitz; what causes more losses is the hardware, energy, manpower in the West

08:35 TR Bot; yewtu.be | I don't like coffee. Can James Hoffmann change that? - Invidious

08:36 DaemonFC; He's not wrong. The worst coffee on the supermarket shelf, you "temper" it with something else. Like, dump a lot of sugar, dairy, and syrups in it, and it doesn't taste so bad anymore because you've masked the foul taste you have probably associated coffee with.

08:37 DaemonFC; That's what mom does with these K-Cups. I think she's such a boomer that she figures that coffee is supposed to be revolting.

08:37 DaemonFC; So you dump a bunch of "sweet cream" in it and it's not revolting anymore.

08:38 DaemonFC; Well, you can always disguise the taste of one thing by cutting it with something else, and the combination is what you taste, and suddenly everything is okay again.

08:38 DaemonFC; So there's this one pizza place where I always order a pizza with anchovies.

08:39 DaemonFC; People say well how can you eat those? Those are gross. I say, well you add this spinach and these sun-dried tomatoes to it and these other ingredients, you're not eating a sardine pizza anymore. The salty fishy taste is there, but it's one thing you're tasting out of half a dozen.

08:40 DaemonFC; So coffee can be like that. If you're not buying the best and not making it properly, hiding the negative aspects under something else can work.

08:40 DaemonFC; Most people don't want to spend the money on the stuff and the thing to make it with, so they just dump cream and sugar in it.

08:41 DaemonFC; I won't lie, I still put cream and sugar in mine because I grew used to it. But I've gotten better about what I buy and how I make it and I can drink it black and not go "Oh my God..."

08:42 DaemonFC; You didn't really have that so much with the stuff mom bought in the 90s, like Hills Bros coffee, so that got me started on the cream and sugar.

08:42 DaemonFC; And I got a Colombian whole bean and a coffee grinder in the late 90s and made some myself and tasted it without anything added, and I said, "That's totally not like that crap mom buys."

08:45 DaemonFC; The real problem with that machine wasn't that it wasn't durable, it's the whole glass carafe and burner setup. I don't like those. In my stainless steel vacuum carafe I can just make a full pot and it's still hot 4 hours later. If I want more, if Mandy wants some.

08:45 DaemonFC; I don't have to keep going back and making another half-pot.

08:45 DaemonFC; Throwing some out. Not knowing how much to make at once.

08:46 DaemonFC; If it's just one person and you're getting a glass carafe and a burner, I suggest a 4-5 cup model, that way the biggest drinker of coffee won't be the kitchen sink.

08:47 DaemonFC; schestowitz: That used to be the joke in the coffee industry. The biggest coffee drinker in America is the kitchen sink.

08:47 DaemonFC; And that's why.

08:47 DaemonFC; You leave it on the burner half an hour, it's not good anymore.

08:47 DaemonFC; But uh oh, there's still half a pot left.

08:49 DaemonFC; Well, they're not "giving it away" anymore. Shit's expensive. 50-60 cents an ounce. A lot more painful to just throw half a pot away every day.

08:50 DaemonFC; I'll wake up sometimes and Mandy's just gotten into the Instant.

08:50 DaemonFC; I confess I leave a jar of Instant around because there's one type that isn't horrible, and that's the Great Value Colombian.

08:51 DaemonFC; I don't know how they made an Instant that wasn't just fuck awful.

08:51 DaemonFC; I'm like 99% certain nobody else is doing this, at least not in an American supermarket.

08:51 DaemonFC; I didn't even believe it was possible until I bought a jar out of pure laziness one time.

08:52 DaemonFC; Instant is usually like, you know, my Grandmother drinking Sanka with her well water that smelled of rotten eggs.

08:52 DaemonFC; That's what my brain associates Instant with.

08:52 *DaemonFC gives voice to u-amarsh04

08:53 DaemonFC; Mom's third husband, Dave, said "If the water tastes that bad, they should have dug the well deeper."

08:54 DaemonFC; I said, "I'm sure my grandfather probably wanted to, but with my grandmother off at the department stores spending his money from General Motors and the 3 other jobs, I doubt he ever could."

08:55 DaemonFC; schestowitz: How do women do this?

08:55 DaemonFC; Like, go into a department store and buy so much shit that it levels the marital bank account?

08:55 schestowitz; you wrote so much

08:55 schestowitz; i've not kept up

08:56 DaemonFC; My Grandfather had a son with a woman in Arkansas and he left that woman to marry my Grandmother.

08:56 DaemonFC; He never told anyone. My Aunt figured it out and contacted him in the late 2000s and we met him then.

08:57 DaemonFC; If my Grandfather deserved punishment for that, he got it.

08:57 DaemonFC; He married my Grandmother and had to live with her for over 45 years.

08:58 DaemonFC; I don't know anything about this other woman, but I do know my Grandmother and I know that in his position he was probably kicking himself for this every day from the wedding to his death bed.

Also, it's almost 2024 now and at least 1.2 of them have an STD."

09:44 DaemonFC; Where you don't want to get is knocking chunks into the oil pickup.

09:44 DaemonFC; Some of those solvents are so harsh that it all just comes off at once in chunks and plugs the pump and kills the engine. :)
