02:48 schestowitz[TR]; it was also a downgrade
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; shared kitchen and all
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; the manager just tried to black me out
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; as she could not argue back
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; knew i was right
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; seems like common manage "skill"
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; "too busy"
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; "i'm in a meeting" (not)
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; iow, theylie a lot and stall
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; 20 years ago, I'd rather forget about it now
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; the place was known as sir charles groves hall
02:49 DaemonFC; The plumbing is pretty bad.
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; i lived there 7 years
02:50 DaemonFC; You can keep it going if you fuck around with it every 5-6 months to unclog it again.
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; but this was my biggest dispute with them
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; other than that, i think they were fair to me
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; for 7 years
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; and I was friends with their staff
02:50 DaemonFC; They constantly have to shut off the water for hours due to "leaks".
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; esp. the security people
02:50 DaemonFC; It happens about once every month or two, at least, that I've noticed.
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; even exchanged music CDs with them
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; one of them I gave an award to... the overnight stay at hotel that I won
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; so he and his wife can make better use of it
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; his name was also Roy
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; he probably passed ages ago... was overweight :(
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; all in all my time there was good
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; those were the golden years of gnu/linux advocacy
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; and they mostly kept out of my way
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; the Internet was stable
02:52 DaemonFC; I've lived in much worse than this...
02:52 DaemonFC; Worse than the motel too.
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; re wwater
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; it was a new building
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; only years old
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; but they built it wrong
02:52 DaemonFC; Wow.
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; had to change ALL the showers
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; one by one
02:52 DaemonFC; So it wasn't just dilapidated plumbing and stuff from over 50 years ago.
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; had to vacate the tenants to get that done
02:52 schestowitz[TR]; for 3 weeks!
02:53 schestowitz[TR]; don't think i ever wrote that down before
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; but you had me recall thatr
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; the plumbing thing
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; it's a nightmare
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; the chemicals they usea
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; and the material
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; the smell
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; you need to vacate residents
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; to fix plumbing
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; it's also super-expensive
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; now like changing showerheads
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; of course that was before the major market crash of 2008
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; estate was already a bubble
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; esp. here in manchester
02:55 AdmFubar; what kind of chemicals do they use in plumbing?
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; you assume you coulds build build buidl
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; and people would just come
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; many new construction projects here are left empty for years
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; barely finishing
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; and then people barely get mortgages
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; and then default on them
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; AdmFubar: changing the whole pipe system
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; under the flood
02:56 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], There's mold in the walls.
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; then redoing the floor
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; *flooor
02:56 DaemonFC; I don't know if they caught that.
02:56 DaemonFC; Especially in the bathrooms.
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; the floor is "poured in"
02:56 DaemonFC; The wood in the bathroom fixtures is rotted out.
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; needs changing
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; ripping appart
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; expensive
02:57 DaemonFC; This place will never do anything but cost them money.
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; then it rots again
02:57 AdmFubar; ah it it isnt just a plumbing issue it was a rehab from water damage
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; unless they fix the pipes, roof..
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; and get tennats who look after it... moist
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; open windows, wipe excess water
02:57 DaemonFC; I run a dehumidifier now.
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; drruggies won't
02:57 DaemonFC; Once I noticed the mold growing on the wall behind Mandy's city dump in the bedroom.
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; they would do thbare minimum
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; then hop on to the next unit
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; and ruin that too
02:58 DaemonFC; I bleached it off the walls and ran a dehumidifier to make sure it doesn't come back.
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, you are ground flood
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; *floor
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; so it's not from the roof
02:58 DaemonFC; Basement.
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; worse then
02:58 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's from upstairs neighbors.
02:59 schestowitz[TR]; windows?
02:59 DaemonFC; Hamburger grease and tampons.
02:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
02:59 DaemonFC; Uh, cheap 70s single-pane shit for windows.
02:59 DaemonFC; More wood that needs to come out.
02:59 DaemonFC; Shitty 70s air conditioner sounds like a cement mixer.
02:59 schestowitz[TR]; wow, still running?
02:59 DaemonFC; Bad trim. Bad cabinets.
02:59 DaemonFC; Yeah.
02:59 schestowitz[TR]; repaired stince 1970s?
02:59 DaemonFC; It still runs.

03:09 schestowitz[TR]; they say to people,
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; your "credit" is BETTER if you take loans
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; because they have a "file" on you
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; you are not "unknown"

17:59 DaemonFC; They are holding American citizens hostage in China right now.
17:59 DaemonFC; And our government won't even talk about it because it can't get them released.
17:59 DaemonFC; Why would you go there, ever go there, voluntarily?
18:00 DaemonFC; It's worse than Russia.
18:00 DaemonFC; I don't even think Russia would arrest me for no reason at all if I were to go there and walk around for a week touring Moscow.
18:01 DaemonFC; But thanks to the fact that the Commies have bought off so many US colleges, public colleges, you walk in there and they promote a "study in China" program.

18:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The police refused to hand me a non-redacted police report once under FOIA.
18:29 DaemonFC; Their reasoning for the redaction is that they were gathering evidence about another individual who had not been indicted.

18:30 DaemonFC; I handed it to my attorney and he went looking and he said don't worry about it because they had finished their investigation of me and concluded that I shouldn't be indicted.
18:31 DaemonFC; So they had handed it to the State's Attorney already and their office was asked to investigate whether they wanted to bring an indictment.
18:31 DaemonFC; And they said no, there's not enough here.
18:32 DaemonFC; I think what happened to me in 2019 with the other thing was sour grapes.
18:32 DaemonFC; They were mad because they had been snubbed and here's their chance to grab on a misdemeanor.

18:34 DaemonFC; The District Attorneys don't actually like charging felonies. They will if they feel it's worth their time.
18:34 DaemonFC; But the extra expense and hassle of impaneling a jury so they can frame you enough (in you absence) to get it to trial is off putting.
18:35 DaemonFC; That's one reason they "agree" to misdemeanors so often. Or use "discretion" to turn it into a misdemeanor before the negotiations have even begun/

19:42 DaemonFC; They're being sued in state court and separately in at least four different federal cases in the Northern and Southern Districts of Illinois.
19:42 DaemonFC; So what does that mean?
19:42 DaemonFC; Well, four different trial judges in federal district court will have a shot at this.
19:43 DaemonFC; One will almost certainly strike it down, and one is all we need.
19:43 DaemonFC; The state can appeal it into the Seventh Circuit, but by this point it'll be hopeless.
19:44 DaemonFC; If the state wins, then it goes to the appeals court anyway, and they lose and they just owe the parties that sued more money in legal fees.
19:44 DaemonFC; The attorney managing one of the state cases says that if the state loses at the state Supreme Court, the state owes him about half a million dollars.

20:24 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I was wondering why my air purifiers that I've been running for 2.5 years weren't working very well anymore.
20:24 DaemonFC; So I bought another one. Then I looked into the unit while it was on and saw an electric charge on the ends of those corona discharge needles.
20:24 DaemonFC; Then I noticed the needles on the others were dirty and there was no visible charge.
20:25 DaemonFC; So I asked Bard what those things were.
20:25 DaemonFC; It explained how an air ionizer works. I asked if I could get away with turning the unit off and cleaning them with a cotton swab with some rubbing alcohol and it said yeah.
20:25 DaemonFC; I don't know. It bullshits you a lot, but this time it worked.
20:25 DaemonFC; The purifiers are all working correctly again.
20:26 MinceR; how do those purifiers work?
20:26 DaemonFC; It's strange the manufacturer doesn't mention that those can get dirty and require cleaning.
20:26 MinceR; ionizing, HEPA filters, something else, a combination?
20:27 DaemonFC; MinceR, Three stages. One pre-filter. Either washable or a disposable one that needs replaced each 3 months that absorbs odors and VOCs, and that phase gets rid of large particles. Mostly dirt and cat hair.
20:28 DaemonFC; Then Phase Two is a iFD, or Intense Field Dielectric, which is a honeycomb structure that is charged with static electricity.
20:29 DaemonFC; It can be taken out and washed. It attracts smaller particles like pollen, mold, mildew, smoke, fine dirt, etc. and it sticks to it until you wash it out in the tub every few months or so.
20:30 DaemonFC; Phase Three is Corona Discharge Needles, which expel Negatively Charged Ions into the air propelled by the fan.
20:30 MinceR; i see
20:30 DaemonFC; These stick to pollutants floating around in the room and give them a negative charge, which causes them to stick to the walls or floor.
20:30 DaemonFC; It can also kill some pathogens.
20:31 MinceR; aren't you worried about ozone?
20:31 DaemonFC; They don't produce a significant amount of Ozone.
20:31 MinceR; ic
20:32 DaemonFC; Health Canada and the FDA say it's well below the threshold where it becomes a human health concern even if operated in the rated space in an unventilated area for a significant amount of time.
20:32 DaemonFC; The manufacturer even goes further.
20:32 DaemonFC; "You'll be exposed to more Ozone if you open the window."
20:32 MinceR; :)
20:34 DaemonFC; MinceR, I think that the bigger health hazard is the iFD, personally.
20:35 DaemonFC; You want to hear my totally scientific theory about that?
20:35 DaemonFC; When Illinois executed John Wayne Gacy back in 1996, they exposed him to an Intense Field of DIE Electric. And he died in a matter of seconds.
20:35 DaemonFC; You have to take these things seriously.
20:36 MinceR; \
20:36 MinceR; :>
20:37 DaemonFC; He managed a chain of KFCs in the Chicago area because of nepotism.
20:37 DaemonFC; His ex-wife's father-in-law hooked him up with that.
20:37 DaemonFC; He always told people to call him The Colonel.
20:38 DaemonFC; Sometime after the divorce, he started luring young men and boys into his house and fucking them, then killing them and burying them in his crawlspace.
20:38 DaemonFC; He had a "side hustle" as a clown called Pogo.
20:39 MinceR; did they name the pogo stick after him?
20:39 DaemonFC; In the end, Illinois didn't settle for Regular. They made him Extra Crispy.
20:40 DaemonFC; As recently as the 1990s, Illinois knew what to do with these kinds of people after the trial.
20:40 DaemonFC; It's too bad the Democrats took over and just parole them now.
20:40 DaemonFC; <MinceR> did they name the pogo stick after him?
20:41 DaemonFC; No, but it didn't help my coulrophobia.
20:41 MinceR; :>
20:43 DaemonFC; Anyway, I chose this type of air purifier because it saves you money in the end.
20:43 DaemonFC; They're expensive, but it's an up front cost.
20:44 DaemonFC; With HEPA, you have to replace filters. They do a very good job, but the filters can run sometimes $70-80 each.
20:44 DaemonFC; And you have to replace them about every 6-12 months depending on how fast they clog up.
20:45 DaemonFC; With iFD you just wash the dirt out of them with some water and dish soap in the tub, rinse it out, shake the excess water out, let it dry, and stick it back in after maybe 3-4 hours.
20:45 DaemonFC; It's good for another few months.
20:46 DaemonFC; HEPA also costs you a lot of money in another way.
20:46 DaemonFC; The filter has to be good enough to filter out almost 100% of all 0.3 micron particles (and a fair deal of ones smaller than that).
20:46 DaemonFC; But this impedes airflow and runs up your electric bill.
20:47 DaemonFC; A HEPA system will use about 6 times as much power as an Air Genius system.
20:47 MinceR; ic
20:47 DaemonFC; So even with three of them running throughout my apartment, the combined total power use is about half of what just one HEPA unit would require.
20:49 DaemonFC; MinceR, I noticed that with these running all the time, my allergies stop.
20:49 DaemonFC; No more runny nose or itchy eyes.
20:49 DaemonFC; I can breathe easier.
20:49 *geert has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
20:49 DaemonFC; They get pretty filthy.
20:49 DaemonFC; I was thinking about getting a air quality meter.
20:49 DaemonFC; They're really cheap now. They're all made in China.
20:50 DaemonFC; It could give me a good idea of where things like PM 2.5 is a problem in the house and help me figure out exactly where to place these things.
20:50 DaemonFC; PM 2.5 can be a lot of things.
20:50 DaemonFC; It can be dirt, it can be soot from car exhaust or a coal plant, it can be mold spores.
20:51 DaemonFC; But since it covers a lot of things you don't want in your house, it's a good proxy for air quality.
20:55 DaemonFC; As for VOCs, those can come from a lot of things. Household cleaners, formaldehyde, paint fumes, body odor (hopefully your apartment doesn't smell like that), trash in the garbage can, stinky cat box....
20:55 DaemonFC; So those disposable filters can take care of that.
20:55 DaemonFC; If you go disposable pre-filter, those will run you about $8-9 per 3 months per unit.
20:56 DaemonFC; Which still isn't bad.
20:56 DaemonFC; You can cover 250 square feet with a single unit on high and get 4.8 air changes per hour, which is a CADR rating of 161.
20:57 DaemonFC; That is, you can get the equivalent of 161 cubic feet of clean air in a room per minute you run these on the highest setting.
20:57 DaemonFC; So they really are quite neat.
20:57 DaemonFC; As for how that clean air measures up to HEPA, it's quite close.
20:58 DaemonFC; 99.97% of 0.3 micron particles are neutralized by the iFD system and that's 99.99% with HEPA.
20:59 DaemonFC; If you're running a clean room that must remain as sterile as possible, you'd go with HEPA.
20:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
20:59 DaemonFC; But if you're just trying to get air quality problems in your house under control, the financial aspect leans heavily towards iFD.
21:00 DaemonFC; Plus, the electric company subsidizes iFD systems here because they have the Energy Star rating on them.
21:00 DaemonFC; So you get $50 back for each one you buy, up to 6 per household.
21:03 DaemonFC; They can capture tobacco smoke, so smokers sometimes get one and use it as an excuse for smoking in the house.
21:03 DaemonFC; But needless to say if you smoke around these things you will wear them out a lot faster.

21:44 DaemonFC; But nobody wore pajamas and fucked hundreds of people from apps.
21:44 DaemonFC; That might be true, but...
21:45 DaemonFC; The 1980s AIDS crisis was Boomers.
21:45 DaemonFC; They were rate limited due to no cell phones, so they went to bars and bathhouses.
21:45 DaemonFC; And in some ways they managed to be nastier than us. Almost all of them smoked and there was an ashtray at every table.
21:45 DaemonFC; So even if you didn't smoke, you inhaled their smoke.
21:46 AdmFubar; prolly how my sister got her lung cancer...
21:48 DaemonFC; Might be.
21:48 DaemonFC; That or asbestos, or lead paint, or MTBE in the gasoline.
21:48 DaemonFC; Boomers did a lot of idiotic things.
21:49 DaemonFC; Well, lead in gasoline isn't really their fault. They were victims of that and phased it out in the early 1980s.
21:49 DaemonFC; Over the objections of all the oil companies that wanted to keep using it and funded junk science in support of lead!
21:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], This building may be nearly impossible to sell.
21:50 DaemonFC; I doubt our landlord did a thorough inspection when he bought it.
21:51 DaemonFC; Now he just has to hope someone like this comes along and doesn't notice anything.
21:51 DaemonFC; Including the smell of rotting cabinets.
21:52 DaemonFC; MinceR, I have to run so many of those damned air purifiers, it looks like the sentry guns from Aliens in my living room.
21:54 MinceR; :)
