00:01 heureka; instead of books and pencil and paper it's: books and pencil and paper AND keyboard AND mouse AND various screens
00:01 heureka; that's awful
00:01 phanes; Ariadne, im a bunch of people on twitter lol
00:04 XRevan86; Of course ye are

00:06 britney; XRevan86, DW experience?
00:06 XRevan86; britney: Doctor Who, how deep does the welle go?
00:09 heureka; that's a tough decision, free and terminate project.

00:09 TR Bot; Davis (@JuliaDavisNews): "Meanwhile on Russia's state TV: top propagandist accuses Ukraine of shelling Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, threatens the U.S. and NATO and says that the Russian military will continue the fighting even in the event of radioactive contamination: "They have protective suits.""|nitter.it
00:09 heureka; freeze
00:10 heureka; XRevan86: is this some silly shitshow to entertain russians and ukrainians on TV?
00:10 heureka; i mean, educating engineers, to operate nuclear plants, that's decades of hard work... and some lunatics ... whatever they do
00:11 heureka; can't believe this, a military training mabye, but in no way could i imagine ukrainians and russians attacked their nuclear plants
00:11 XRevan86; heureka: The most prominent Russian state propaganda personality actually.
00:12 XRevan86; And apparently the highest paying one.
00:12 heureka; who? JuliaDavis?
00:12 XRevan86; But a shitshow nontheless.
00:13 XRevan86; heureka: Vladimir Solovyov of course.

00:15 britney; XRevan86, oh Doctor Who, i've watched the new one up until the death of rose
00:15 britney; not death actually
00:15 XRevan86; britney: Oh, ye missed the best stuff of the new one for sure.
00:16 britney; yeah I've been meaning to watch the other seasons
00:16 britney; David Tennant is my favourite doctor so far
00:16 britney; allons-y!
00:17 britney; i keep trying to watch the original Doctor Who but its in black and white and its hard to watch
00:17 heureka; tbh. i am rather angry at _both_ ukrainians and russians, their gamble with nuclear safety
00:18 XRevan86; heureka: Russia is currently blabbering some nonsense about that demilitarising the plant will somehow endanger it, and predicts that there's going to be an attack from Ukraine tomorrow (and Ukraine reads it as a warning that Russia's going to do a false-flag operation there).
00:18 heureka; biggest nuclear plant in europe, even if they played with toy water pistols, it wouldn't be funny
00:18 XRevan86; heureka: At this point there's no proof that Ukrainians actually gamble with nuclear safety.
00:18 heureka; oh yes, proliferation concerns
00:18 XRevan86; If any of the Russia's claims get validation, then that's another story.
00:19 heureka; recall some discussaion IAEO seeked to inspect the plants, but ukraine would threaten the safety for them to proceed
00:19 XRevan86; The read of the situation that Russia is trying to pressure Europe and Ukraine to give in is plausible to me.

00:21 heureka; what seems plausible, Russia/Putin may not have an incentive to hide how Ukraine had operated the plant before russian troops arrived
00:21 heureka; why would Russia/Putin hide that from IAEO?
00:21 XRevan86; heureka: https://reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-un-agreed-parameters-iaea-mission-nuclear-plant-zelenskiy-2022-08-18/
00:22 TR Bot; UN agreed parameters for IAEA mission to nuclear plant - Zelenskiy | Reuters
00:22 XRevan86; So far Russia hasn't let IAEA in, and hasn't let the Red Cross into Olenivka.
00:22 heureka; apropos nuclear safety, i wouldn't consider any of the modern software/hardware fun i reviewed in recent weeks at least suitable for hobbyist hackers
00:23 heureka; leave alone, none of this was suitable for long-term reliable operation inside critical infrastracture
00:23 heureka; just a side note
00:23 XRevan86; "recall some discussaion IAEO seeked to inspect the plants, but ukraine would threaten the safety for them to proceed" <- Um, is this it: https://reuters.com/world/europe/russia-too-dangerous-iaea-go-through-kyiv-visit-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-2022-08-15/
00:23 TR Bot; Too dangerous for IAEA to go through Kyiv to visit Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant | Reuters
00:24 heureka; in germany they boast about "industry 4.0" and similar... ipad tables at the wall to replace a light switch
00:24 heureka; tablets
00:24 heureka; XRevan86: yes, there was some disputes to guarantee the safety of inspectors
00:24 heureka; and blame shifting towards each other
00:24 XRevan86; heureka: But this is from Russia.
00:25 heureka; in the end, it's neither russian nor urkainian plants anyway, it was/is _Soviet_ plants
00:25 heureka; those plants were always designated soviet
00:25 XRevan86; It has some newer components to it.
00:25 heureka; yep, Westinghouse Electric something, but, who knows...
00:25 XRevan86; That's actually one of the reasons why Rosatom personnel can't operate the plant on their own, they need the Energoatom people.
00:25 heureka; and, proliferation concerns
00:26 heureka; could it be, competence deficiencies existed among both: rosatom and energatom?
00:27 heureka; and i haven't that much faith in german plants anymore either,... the plants here will shut down end of this year... finally scheduled.
00:27 XRevan86; The plant functioned fine before the invasion, why would there be competence deficiency on the Energoatom's side?
00:27 heureka; "functioned fine", that's probably not how IAEA would classify nuclear safety
00:28 XRevan86; And right now they work at the point of a gun, that's not optimal conditions.
00:28 heureka; inspectors, which was argued, couldn't enter the territory safely
00:28 heureka; XRevan86: i mean both sides point guns at each other
00:28 XRevan86; And in the early months the same people worked a shift after shift after shift
00:28 heureka; doing what?
00:29 XRevan86; heureka: In the power plant specifically there is military of only one side.
00:29 XRevan86; Pointing a gun quite literally.
00:29 heureka; can't believe this
00:29 heureka; pointing guns at the staff?
00:30 heureka; how should anyone work under these conditions?
00:30 XRevan86; heureka: Some of them got murdered actually.
00:30 heureka; i mean, nuclear and science, that's rather some to do with a relaxed and stable mental condition involved, without a gun pointed at.
00:30 XRevan86; heureka: "how should anyone work under these conditions?" <- And now ye begin to understand.
00:31 heureka; XRevan86: i have some memories about telekom, i do understand, the bureaucratic apparatus and functioning
00:31 heureka; even without guns pointed at my head
00:31 heureka; i didn't feel comfortable, with the asymmetrical power balance
00:32 heureka; anyway, german plants shut down they say
00:32 heureka; 3.5 month remaining
00:32 XRevan86; heureka: They're still shutting down nuclear plants?
00:33 heureka; one of my first homework tasks, at telekom, was some simple digital circuitry, to fail-over switch some engines, theoretically, in a nuclear plant, as a fun prospect
00:33 XRevan86; I thought Germany learnt its lesson from dependency on fossil fuels.
00:33 heureka; however, i was shocked little later, when hearing about hazard free circuit design
00:33 heureka; yet, guess what, they fu*** up the entire university schedule
00:34 heureka; maths and circuit design wasn't engouh, add to this oracle database, java programming, c++, telco protocols (lots of this), signal processing
00:34 heureka; XRevan86: you get the idea. i QUIT 2005. they never bothered to ask.
00:34 heureka; instead of a gun pointed at my head, i got a contract from them
00:35 heureka; i think nuclear safety isn't the prime business of telekom, although they are affiliated with aerospace and other engineering departments closely
00:36 XRevan86; "however, i was shocked little later, when hearing about hazard free circuit design" <- Shocked how?
00:36 heureka; the craziest part was year 2011 i think when the exact some problem occured in Fukushim, the homework i did, some failover switching of some emergency generators
00:37 heureka; XRevan86: because i didn't think of this, the maths on paper, seemed perfect, how could it be... signal timing variance may cause glitches...
00:37 heureka; it was fascinating somehow
00:37 heureka; it's called a digital glitch or hazard
00:37 XRevan86; Ah.
00:38 heureka; however, just as said, maths and circuit design, wasn't good enough them
00:38 *isak has quit (connection closed)
00:38 heureka; we had to "compete with globalized market" and blah...
00:38 *isak (~isak@dzzss3vg4xwbw.irc) has joined #techrights
00:39 heureka; and it's true, east-german semiconductors are gone, nuclear plants build in china (no blame or anything, it's what it is), and germany shuts down nuclear
00:40 heureka; my argument, about modern electronics, forget it... ttl7400 series or something similar to gigatron ttl
00:40 heureka; USA General Electric seeked to hire PDP-11 experts for their nuclear btw... that's pretty close to gigatron and similar
00:41 britney; milk was a bad choice
00:41 heureka; any later, would be curious myself... what they're doing in nuclear plants
00:42 heureka; too late
00:43 britney; heureka, i like that you hate C++
00:44 heureka; britney: i don't hate it
00:44 heureka; if at all, i hate all of it, the entire modern tech
00:45 britney; you can probably buy vintage computers fairly easily on ebay
00:45 heureka; however i can't operate them without online internet access to documentation
00:45 heureka; and many, aren't sufficiently documented either

00:47 heureka; rock64? whatever.
00:47 *dabozack has quit (Quit: )

00:49 XRevan86; MinceR: That's to be expected.
00:49 XRevan86; In line with their legend.
00:50 heureka; MinceR: telco is critical infrastructure
00:51 heureka; railway signalling networks, military radio, whatever else...
00:51 heureka; in the end, they could operate nuclear plants in 1960s already, with ttl7400 series parts for anything telco related
00:51 MinceR; heureka: at least DT doesn't get to kill as many lifeforms with those
00:52 heureka; finance, somehow related, the networking infrastructure etc.
00:52 heureka; i don't care anymore
00:54 MinceR; probably neither does DT
00:54 heureka; can't help them anymore with anything
00:55 heureka; they, whoever they are, got sufficient other opportunities to source staff for nuclear plants in germany
00:55 heureka; long-term reliable, stable, peaceful
00:55 heureka; i think Russian military disconnected the plant from Ukrainian grid... didn't they
00:56 XRevan86; heureka: They couldn't.
00:56 heureka; well, germany scheduled total nuclear shutdown... end of this year
00:56 heureka; that's no joke, this is real
00:56 XRevan86; Ukraine *did* strike onto the power lines that would go to Crimea.
00:56 XRevan86; So until that's sorted, the plant can't be routed there.
00:57 XRevan86; Russia is threatening to shut down the plant, which could have consequences.
00:57 heureka; the biggest plant in Europe
00:57 heureka; i got some more, speculation, and theory

00:58 heureka; XRevan86: there's a process, known as, power-to-gas...
00:58 heureka; although, thats just speculation and theory, if and how gas pipelines, if at all, were related to nuclear operation
00:58 heureka; and nuclear safety
00:58 *horseface (~horseface@rwq434ydswn2i.irc) has joined #techrights

00:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 30.88 k/sec., IPFS upstream 111.26 average k/sec., average swarm size 102.75
00:59 heureka; hydrogen+carbon -> methane ... a voila, sabatier process
01:00 heureka; in germany, gas shortage emergency is articulated...
01:00 XRevan86; My personal read is that the threat is over the power lines rather than the alleged "shelling the facility".
01:00 heureka; pipelines
01:01 heureka; i mean, we got both here: electricity, and methane, both highly relevant
01:01 XRevan86; That Russia would rather shut the plant down, damn be consequences, than continue routing the power to Kyiv-controlled Ukraine.
01:01 heureka; nordstream2 is ready
01:01 XRevan86; stop messing with the plans to route electricity to Crimea, or else, ye won't get any anyway.
01:02 heureka; that's real socialist brotherhood
01:03 heureka; don't forget to place germany and usa into the equation
01:04 heureka; oh, and record temperature spikes
01:04 heureka; to "safe the planet" in germany coal power plants operated at high load, not sure about latest data
01:05 heureka; and we're hitting 35degC regularly, up to 40 in the cities
01:06 heureka; russian gas supplies were supposed to dampen heat exposure... including Gas electrification plants
01:06 heureka; those shall be shut down too now they say
01:07 heureka; in the end, the question, in germany, won't be if "the population" wants nuclear power or none
01:07 heureka; question is, if germany could operate nuclear if we wanted ... i doubt it
01:08 britney; im eating chicken fingers, the expensive kind
01:08 heureka; recently, france had to disconnect nuclear plants due to cooling issues during summer heat...
01:09 heureka; and here, in germany, coal power plants are activated
01:09 heureka; to compensate all this
01:09 heureka; during summer time
01:10 heureka; checked my energy bill again today, it's totally intransparent, not at least possible to estimate total kWh consumed
01:11 heureka; i arrived at roughly 20cents/kWh for heating with gas
01:11 MinceR; the question is, how will the human species choose to exterminate itself
01:11 heureka; and, another price hike was announced, +2.5cents/kWh "gas redistribution fee something", plus another increase due to higher prices for gas
01:12 XRevan86; MinceR: In a gamble to keep the dictator in power?
01:14 heureka; ever worried if you could pay the rent in 6month ahead?
01:15 heureka; prices for bread +40%, some cheap sausage type +30%... it's an endless list of this
01:15 heureka; in a few days, prices +~30%
01:16 heureka; i am less concerned about the _absolute_ pricing, than the trend which ignited recently
01:16 heureka; because, i was "blessed" with two currency reforms already (expropriations i say), east-mark, west-mark, euro... and whatever this is now
01:17 heureka; i can quit smoking, and disconnect internet still
01:18 heureka; problem with this, the government in germany arranged for social surroundings which prevent just that, socializing with anyone
01:19 heureka; "social ecololical" they say, and they "renewable" too appeals close to a chiffre for, how should i say, selective pro-creation of only those who they consider "renewable"

01:22 heureka; the entire political and economic apparatus is only tailored for this: retain what they consider a social order which is comfortable for a few
01:22 MinceR; XRevan86: not specific enough
01:24 XRevan86; MinceR: Do ye want a date?

01:24 MinceR; well, a date would be nice, but i was more concerned with what they'd do to try to keep the dictator in power
01:25 XRevan86; MinceR: Make a big threat and then follow through when the bluff is called?
01:25 heureka; this won't happen, rest assured, those who arranged for the "social ecological justice" in government, they'll continue to enjoy the comfort of their live
01:26 heureka; that's why they're excited about (heavily subsidized, and mostly useless) solar panels for example, wish thinking they could become autark from society with it
01:26 heureka; that's why they don't care about the price and return of investment of this nonsense

01:33 heureka; i mean, if he was supposed to step down... one day

01:33 *britney has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
01:34 XRevan86; He is not planning to step down, at all.
01:36 heureka; XRevan86: remember what happened and finally caused Soviet Union to collapse, Tchernobyl
01:36 XRevan86; heureka: It's a factor, but not the only one.
01:36 heureka; and somehow, although different, the recent nuclear safety, uhm, don't know
01:37 heureka; if something fails at that front, Putin is gone
01:37 XRevan86; Same thing is said about the Afghan war, about the Saudis messing with fossil fuel prices, et al.
01:38 heureka; Afghanistan, thinking about this... 20 years... they didn't at least manage to establish registration of inhabitants last time i read about it
01:38 heureka; and, even if situation there, in Afghanistan improved, at the borders, millions would seek every opportunity, to participate in progress where it is
01:39 heureka; Pakistan? hundred million or something, i don't know
01:39 XRevan86; heureka: The context is that the USSR left Afghanistan in shame.
01:39 heureka; Germany leaving wasn't particularly honorably either
01:39 XRevan86; with huge losses (though in retrospect not that huge anymore).
01:39 heureka; although, unavoidable, i think
01:40 heureka; more births, more suffering
01:41 heureka; didn't check demographics of Afghanistaion anymore, or Pakistan, or Syria, Iran, Iraq, down to Indonesia if necessary
01:41 heureka; and the food prices there...
01:42 XRevan86; Obviously right now the situation in Afghanistan itself is worse than ever.
01:42 heureka; yet somehow i fail to recognize the "moral" argument, why families there enjoy several children...
01:42 heureka; granted, it's arrogant from where i am standing... nonetheless
01:43 heureka; 20 years of peace mission or whatever this was
01:43 heureka; and that's a whole other story, immigration, into germany, recent trend ... from Ukraine btw.
01:44 heureka; i am not under the impression, those who arrived with their brand new cars in germany, those would need any aid or help from me
01:44 XRevan86; heureka: That one is not permanent though.
01:44 heureka; in fact, i am rather angry, to see this
01:44 heureka; i couldn't enjoy the freedom to travel, with car and family wherever i wished
01:44 XRevan86; heureka: I think ye paint everyone with the same brush.
01:44 heureka; i don't, i am living in the middle in between of this
01:44 heureka; i do see exactly what's going on here
01:45 XRevan86; Every country on Earth is diverse.
01:45 heureka; shallow i would say
01:45 XRevan86; And Ukraine is not particularly rich, not particularly poor either (well, until the war I guess).
01:46 heureka; you know, i want back _my_ homeland, after two expropriations
01:46 *darwin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
01:46 heureka; that's my personal opinion
01:47 XRevan86; heureka: My opinion is that this invasion is a big thing that requires a lot of effort, and backing down will have negative consequences too.
01:47 XRevan86; There's no winning for anyone here.
01:47 heureka; i mean, visa to study work and travel... ok, immigration.... yet then at least by the exact same standards i enjoy here
01:47 heureka; although, there is a persistent tendency to cheat, with exactly those conditions i enjoyed
01:48 heureka; XRevan86: i tell you, most of them would leave after a few weeks
01:48 heureka; not my problem, can't change this anymore
01:48 heureka; prices ~+30% in a few days...
01:49 heureka; that's the third expropriation now
01:50 heureka; no car, no contract, no holidays in 20 years, nothing
01:50 heureka; only traineeships, and underpaid hirings
01:50 *britney (~britney@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #techrights
01:51 heureka; and those who complain most, don't think the relocated 10times for trainships and whatnot
01:51 XRevan86; heureka: I can't comment on your personal situation, consider finding a different profession.
01:51 heureka; and in the end, not at least my work and life experience is worth anything
01:51 heureka; and then they arrive, "poor" refugees
01:52 XRevan86; heureka: Many of them are technically homeless now.
01:52 heureka; is this my fault?
01:52 XRevan86; No, but ye say "poor" with sarcasm.
01:52 heureka; sorry, you're probably not aware of the publicity in TV and newspapers in germany...
01:53 heureka; well, the type of cars, this is what i am having a look at, for example
01:53 XRevan86; Even though ye don't know their life situation, even within those with decent automobiles, not all of them would be able to affort one if they were buying one right now.
01:54 heureka; i mean i have to safe money for almost one year, to stash 1000Euros
01:54 heureka; and this doesn't suffice to pay the rent at least two month, and nothing eaten then
01:54 XRevan86; heureka: That's minimum wage in Russia.
01:55 heureka; XRevan86: on average my income is considerably below those 1000euros in the last 20 years
01:55 XRevan86; Am I miscounting? Why is this lower than Russian minimum wage?
01:55 heureka; you have to distinguish official data from reality
01:55 XRevan86; Ah, maybe it's because stash != earn.
01:55 heureka; for example, a few month i had income of a few thousand per month, and then again many months nothing
01:56 heureka; on average, i am considerably below 1000Euros/month
01:56 heureka; and rent is more than 500/monthly
01:56 XRevan86; That's a decent salary in Russia.
01:56 heureka; after fixed expenses, there is ~300/month remaining, and grocery store prices hiked like crazy recently
01:57 heureka; i would be curious, what the rents are, electricity and gasoline prices
01:57 heureka; all that
01:57 XRevan86; But of course rent in Russia is also like a half or third of that.
01:57 heureka; no offense, none at all
01:57 heureka; they're playing very dirty tricks here
01:58 heureka; with me, to loot and plunder
01:58 heureka; because they, if i stockpile cash, and got enough, i leave
01:58 heureka; *know
01:58 XRevan86; The complication is that ruble is not very convertible right now, so comparison is complicated.
01:58 heureka; grocery stores in russia seemed well equipped in the cities at least
01:58 heureka; the difference in russia, i think, is rural lifestyle
01:58 heureka; that's really differen, in russia
01:59 XRevan86; Oh, it's not rural at all.
01:59 heureka; far less densely populated, and far lower income
01:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 47.05 k/sec., IPFS upstream 74.25 average k/sec., average swarm size 103.05
02:00 XRevan86; heureka: https://maps-russia.com/img/0/russia-population-density-map.jpg
02:00 XRevan86; heureka: Moscow is a tenth of total population of Russia.
02:01 heureka; what i can't comprehend here in germany, i know what i have to do
02:01 XRevan86; Russia in general is not densely populated, but population is compactly located in cities.
02:01 heureka; but companies and buraucracy seek to dictate nonsense
02:02 heureka; i mean, 20years ago, i had welcomed recommendation for labor market, yet none to be had except confusion
02:02 heureka; nowadays, they still try to dictate, meanwhil i wished i had one or another word to say
02:02 XRevan86; https://img03.domclick.ru/c900x600/blog/DxrPh8Bdr4vP5HL_.jpg This is Russia on average.
02:02 heureka; instead, they argue as if i wouldn't work or there wasn't any worthy contribution
02:03 heureka; a circular argument, they don't pay, and they say it's worth nothing...
02:03 XRevan86; Not rural.
02:03 heureka; i just mean to say rural areas in russia are different to german rural areas
02:04 heureka; russia, less densely populated,eed, income, that's a fact
02:04 heureka; and in the cities i fear, the typical soviet housing dominates in many regions
02:04 *horseface has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
02:05 heureka; those massive appartment blocks with people densely crowded into
02:06 XRevan86; heureka: New buildings are often even denser than the Soviet ones.

02:06 XRevan86; Welcome to the nightmare that is called Kudrovo.
02:07 heureka; i know, similar cities were established in east germany
02:08 XRevan86; https://r.nf/r/UrbanHell/comments/c77109 r/UrbanHell, heh
02:08 heureka; i grew up in appartment blocks established in 1930s in germany, the apparments were small
02:08 TR Bot; Kudrovo, St. Petersburg - r/UrbanHell
02:08 heureka; at least, parks and social facilities were considered, with those 1930s "garden city" type districits
02:09 XRevan86; Kudrovo is not famous for its social facilities.
02:09 heureka; is this the place where you live?
02:09 XRevan86; Hell no
02:09 XRevan86; But one of my relatives considered the place.
02:09 XRevan86; https://cs14.pikabu.ru/post_img/2021/03/30/4/1617082327183932018.webp
02:10 heureka; often, there isn't any choice
02:10 XRevan86; https://cs12.pikabu.ru/post_img/big/2021/03/30/4/1617082917161417868.png
02:10 heureka; in east-germany before 1990, appartements were assigned by the bureaucracy
02:10 XRevan86; heureka: I am familiar with that system.
02:10 heureka; nowadays, it's a matter of pricing and income, again often no choice
02:11 heureka; before 1990 those massive appartment blocks were desireable nonetheless, because of heating installations
02:11 heureka; in east germany, we stil had an oven with coal fired...
02:11 heureka; this was common standard
02:12 heureka; at least it was cheap, ~60Mark-East for a flat of ~60sqm; nowadays that's ~15EUros, barely suffices to rent a square meter or two
02:13 XRevan86; That panorama shot is pretty telling, it shows Kudrovo (~2020 architecture) compared to the pathetic Soviet construction to the right of it.
02:13 heureka; thats ~2000Mark-East for the exact same flat, see the trend 60Mark-East up to 2000Mark east for the rent, in 30 years
02:13 XRevan86; Those Soviet multi-storey buildings are like ants, immobile ants.
02:14 heureka; well, the concept to crowd that many people densely together... no.
02:14 XRevan86; So yea, that's the trend in Russia: more density, not less of it.
02:15 heureka; when i was younger, i imagined one day i could afford a house and car and family...
02:15 XRevan86; At least in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
02:15 heureka; quickly realized, this wasn't how the system was tailored
02:15 heureka; after 1990
02:16 heureka; what i am really angry about: not at least some office space nowhere near being affordable
02:16 heureka; meanwhile, office space was available in Leipzig for example, alot of it
02:16 heureka; how is this possible?
02:17 heureka; and then i realized, there is different rules involved...
02:18 heureka; one sentence: "this is your office"... and had reconsidered, to stay.
02:18 heureka; however this bureacratic monstrosity, they couldn't imagine anymore
02:18 heureka; after 20years, all i can do: wait and see what happens
02:19 heureka; such as excess inflation now, again, after two preceedin expropriations
02:19 heureka; 40years, three expropriations
02:19 XRevan86; It's not an exclusively German thing.
02:19 XRevan86; The whole world is in recession.
02:19 heureka; no.

02:20 XRevan86; Russia's price hikes on food are like 150%-200%, but that's to be expected.
02:20 heureka; i mean, the social order in USA or wherever, could be it's not a "social system", with walmart selling opioids
02:20 heureka; XRevan86: really?
02:21 heureka; +100% that's twice the rpice, +200% thats 4x the price
02:21 heureka; such as one bread one rouble up to 4 roubles....
02:22 heureka; you're saying prices quadrupled in russia?
02:23 heureka; +200% is triple the price, anyway
02:23 XRevan86; heureka: To avoid misleading you, I'll just direct you to https://pricing.day/
02:23 TR Bot;
02:24 heureka; i have no idea what to do anymore
02:25 heureka; all i know, it's almost irelevant what i do or don't
02:25 heureka; i mean, this governent here, was willing to gamble with nuclear shutdown
02:26 heureka; and it's not as if a finger snipped in a few days could undo the damage of 20years of "nuclear exit"
02:26 heureka; too, it's extremely hostily, the mentality, too the ideology
02:26 XRevan86; Good bread is like twice the price.
02:27 heureka; *hostile
02:27 heureka; at least, if i cook food myself, prices are considerably lower then
02:27 heureka; the electricity bill adds up then
02:28 heureka; 3Euros/Day suffices for 500gram bread, a sausage, and a cake
02:28 heureka; few weeks ago, it was 2.50... at lowest rate of spending
02:29 heureka; meat is extremely expensive now
02:29 heureka; they always say, it was supposedly too cheap, however, with two currency reforms, 1Kg of hacked meat is 30Mark-east now
02:29 XRevan86; "+100% that's twice the rpice, +200% thats 4x the price" <- Right, sorry, I meant 50%-100%
02:30 XRevan86; "is 30Mark-east now" <- That tells me nothing.
02:30 heureka; of cause, if the halving was ignored, then 8Euros might seem "cheap", even then
02:30 heureka; howver, the real price is multiplied x4, this is the prices i see
02:31 heureka; with each currency reform, they "halved" the currency 4Mark-East == 2Mark-West == 1Euro
02:31 heureka; meaning 1EUro === 4Mark East
02:31 XRevan86; heureka: 8 euros is that for a kilogramme of beef?
02:31 heureka; and, west-german mark inflated twice as much in comparison to the east-mark... add this too the calculation
02:31 heureka; XRevan86: yes
02:32 XRevan86; heureka: That's about how much it costs here.
02:32 heureka; it's affordable still, nonetheless, it's certainly not "too cheap" as policians say, and i am not eating much of it either, as they say i had
02:32 XRevan86; Again, conversion be damned, very approximately.
02:34 heureka; however, with this pricing, i won't plan for holidays or family or car or anything anymore
02:34 heureka; there wasn't any in 20 years, there won't be any, thats the "social ecoligical justice" they say
02:35 XRevan86; I'm a very today-oriented person right now.
02:35 heureka; worst of it, they want to dictate what i had to do...
02:35 XRevan86; I don't even know what to expect from tomorrow, not to say next week or month.
02:36 heureka; yes, i tried to think ahead, and plan ahead, yet there was no basis to plan ahead
02:36 heureka; those two currency reforms alone, from one day to another...
02:36 heureka; bam
02:36 heureka; i don't complain, however, such "reforms" do change they way you think about the future
02:37 heureka; imagine, tomorrow, currency gone, another one, again, another one, and the rents explode
02:37 XRevan86; Seems mild.
02:38 heureka; it was possible to cope with it, nonetheless, this does change thinking fundmentally
02:38 heureka; too, when parents become unemployed
02:39 heureka; i think most "west germans", whoever they are, weren't blessed with this type of "social ecological justice" yet
02:39 heureka; just as said, i freeze, i terminate, i won't continue with anything
02:39 heureka; 20years, enough is enough
02:39 heureka; not anymore

02:45 heureka; i won't re-implement aarch32 assembly in musl-libc and support for this in arm-tcc, i won't
02:45 heureka; too much effort, and most important, not worth it anymore
02:45 TR News; Yesterday's bulletin is now ready! : http://techrights.org/txt-archives/techrights-2022-08-18.txt | gemini://gemini.techrights.org/tr_text_version/techrights-2022-08-18.txt (tentative address, to work an hour from now)
02:47 XRevan86; heureka: What's the practical end goal?
02:48 heureka; a stable and long-term reliable system to work with
02:48 XRevan86; heureka: To work what?
02:48 heureka; for example, i wanted to utilize a console-only workflow
02:48 heureka; scientific authoring
02:49 heureka; plotting of graphcs with sixels for example, with consisten formatting onto matrix printer
02:49 heureka; a c-only troff implementation, neatroff, didn't test yet
02:49 heureka; need to write a convert from sixels to epson raw bitmap format
02:49 heureka; various things
02:50 heureka; to get an idea, a workflow closer to a Ti92 graphing calculator
02:50 heureka; at console
02:50 XRevan86; heureka: Would it make a difference from the outside world if your work is done on this system compared to some x86 PC with a boring GNU/Linux distribution?
02:51 heureka; yes.
02:51 XRevan86; The plots will look better?
02:51 heureka; it's more practical
02:52 heureka; for neatroff and rendering into sixels and onto plotter there some missing pieces
02:52 heureka; but tbh.; time has come, i don't care anymore
02:52 heureka; not at least to explain, why, and what the difference
02:52 heureka; i'll just freeze at gcc47 c-only toolchain profile and the package set i have
02:53 heureka; those who appreciate the idea, wouldn't ask anyway, what the difference is
02:53 XRevan86; Hopefully your scientific work is as far removed from philology as it's humanly possible :).
02:54 heureka; the problem i see, is insufficient stability at the toolchain-level already
02:54 XRevan86; heureka: I indeed don't appreciate the idea, on several levels. One of those levels is that when the can only be utilised by oneself only, then it's pretty much toying around, it's not a contribution to the world.
02:56 heureka; XRevan86: if the price hikes contines, i won't have to think about anymore if i wanted to have internet
02:56 heureka; and i rather disconnect it before others decided to on my behalf
02:57 heureka; and in this case, at least i got the dignity to say i disconnected myself
02:57 XRevan86; heureka: Even if ye get like Fedora, it would still work disconnected from the Internet.
02:57 heureka; that's the situation here
02:57 XRevan86; A frozen system is a frozen system, it doesn't matter what it is.
02:58 heureka; anyway, with the tcc-toolchain, i discovered alot more dirt, i mean if Fedore or RedHat are proud to publish such
02:58 heureka; i don't care
02:58 heureka; i wouldn't ever sign it with my name
02:58 XRevan86; That was of course an edge case.
02:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 133.91 k/sec., IPFS upstream 54.68 average k/sec., average swarm size 97.60
02:59 XRevan86; I can go even edgier and say "Windows 11" :).
02:59 XRevan86; Even that mess will continue working after Internet is disconnected.
02:59 heureka; i am considering to disconnect it entirely
02:59 heureka; not at least the system i did cleanup in recent years meets acceptance criteria
03:00 heureka; it's impossible
03:00 heureka; and all the mainstream stuff is worse, much worse
03:00 heureka; it's that horrible, i am not at least willing to open any web browser such as firefox, chrome etc..
03:00 heureka; never again
03:00 XRevan86; "i did cleanup" <- Is that an OCD thing?
03:01 heureka; ocd?
03:01 XRevan86; Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
03:01 heureka; what? i am angry, yes.
03:01 heureka; but it's not compulsive, it takes several hours or days, before i freak out
03:01 heureka; i mean, i did finish with the tcc-toolchain 99.9% of all builds passed
03:02 IPFS; Gemini requests since start of month: 162452 total Total number of pages in capsule: 42190 Active: active (running) since Thu 2022-08-04 09:15:14 BST; 2 weeks 0 days ago
03:02 heureka; and then, after three weeks of work, decided, to terminate and free, and archive this only
03:02 heureka; i did think very carefully about this.
03:03 heureka; freeze
03:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], "Walmart customers can't afford Oscar Mayer lunch meat. Buy Beans." Also the news: "Capitalism produces so much garbage that people are buying entire pallets of Amazon returns for $400. No guarantee what it is or that it works!"
03:03 XRevan86; heureka: The question is, how does this affect your life
03:03 IPFS; IPFS local node stats (bandwidth since last reset) calculated. TotalIn: 328 MB TotalOut: 68 MB
03:03 heureka; XRevan86: more than 70hours of work per weak, and nothing but insults in return for years
03:03 XRevan86; heureka: Why do ye need a clean system (per your definition)?
03:04 IPFS; New daily bulletin is now being generated and assembled.
03:04 XRevan86; heureka: "more than 70hours of work per weak, and nothing but insults in return for years" <- That sounds about right.
03:04 heureka; XRevan86: i am not willing to work with a system based on technology i see collapsing
03:04 XRevan86; heureka: gcc47 has literally collapsed.
03:05 heureka; i blocked at gcc47, and it is later versions which certainly will collapse
03:05 XRevan86; heureka: When that happens, go use the version just before the collapse :).
03:05 heureka; gcc47/binutils is that concerning, hence the idea to verify against tcc-toolchain
03:06 heureka; which i did
03:06 heureka; however, the vendor-specific asm extensions and gnu extensions are pushing beyond my limits
03:06 XRevan86; If GCC is going to kick the bucket, humanity will figure something out.
03:07 heureka; i say this, the mainstream computer systems (including fedora, win11 whatever), those cannot roll-back even if they wanted to
03:07 heureka; they can't
03:07 heureka; the entire "internet" can't roll-back
03:07 heureka; XRevan86: reminder, another reason i decided to freeze and terminate
03:07 heureka; XRevan86: try to read developer.arm.com with w3m browser or lynx....
03:07 XRevan86; heureka: PulseAudio can't be rolled back, but PipeWire has a compatibility layer which works no worse than the real thing.
03:07 heureka; and this, today, was another moment of clarity: ENOUGH, i've had enought of this
03:08 heureka; i can't drink as much as i wanted to puke over this
03:08 XRevan86; If even PulseAudio can be removed from existence, maybe the world can move on from anything if it really wants to.
03:08 britney; XRevan86, i use pipewire :D
03:08 XRevan86; But even that is a move forward, it's not a move backwards to libasound.
03:09 XRevan86; britney: So do I.
03:09 heureka; try to read developer.arm.com with w3m browser or lynx....
03:09 heureka; COMMENTS PLEASE
03:09 britney; archinstall set up all that stuff
03:09 heureka; discuss.
03:10 britney; heureka, try firefox or brave
03:11 heureka; XRevan86: you see, this is what i mean, those who appreciate one or another idea, those wouldn't at least ask why. what the difference is.
03:11 XRevan86; heureka: Actually, something can be arranged here, it just hasn't been.
03:11 heureka; i have no problem with anyone else choosing chrome to read developer.arm.com, however i do only accept w3m/lynx/links
03:11 heureka; and can't anymore
03:12 XRevan86; Reader Mode is a thing after all, so it's not that wild to get a TUI web browser with Gecko/Spidermonkey or Chromium in the backend.
03:13 heureka; those tui browsers already do exist: w3m/lynx/links....
03:14 XRevan86; The move forward on this concept is Gemini, but convincing ARM to host Gemini is not going to be easy.
03:14 heureka; and that's only a rather shallow approach to understanding
03:14 heureka; if you dig down deeper... another show-stopper today, asm hacking
03:15 XRevan86; If ye actually want to browse the modern web, ye will in fact need Firefox or Chromium.
03:15 heureka; you see, there is a combination between those too unrelated questions, to read some specific documentation, for some specific hardware ASM hacking
03:16 heureka; how often do you want to circle around this: no chromium, no firefox no edge, no webkit, none of this at my desk, never again for the rest of my life
03:16 XRevan86; If your bar is this high, then ye're just setting yourself up for failure.
03:16 heureka; nope, that's only the final stroke of today
03:17 heureka; further down below, gnu toolchain, gnu buildsystem, you have no idea... it's just... as i said
03:17 heureka; i'll freeze at gcc47, and too archive the tcc-toolchain profile, and terminate the project
03:17 XRevan86; "If your bar is this high, then ye're just setting yourself up for failure." <- But if your Internet is doomed, then maybe it doesn't matter all that much.
03:18 heureka; yes, i too do consider full internet disconnect, forever
03:18 heureka; because, i too studies some telco protocol stuff, and whatever, it was alot of things
03:19 heureka; i mean, it's of no use to me anymore
03:19 XRevan86; britney: Wait 'till heureka learns that there is a trend towards requiring an Android/iOS application
03:19 heureka; i want to and need to focus on maths and science, and not some IBM GNU Mapple bullshit problems
03:19 XRevan86; Needing Firefox/Chromium is the generous offer.

06:32 DaemonFC; Well, if the state of ILL says so.....but only Microsoft Edge.
06:33 DaemonFC; Editing a PDF with anything other than Microsoft Edge can have all sorts of unwanted effects. Your computer could explode or the judge may deny your expungement petition.
06:34 *horseface (~horseface@indtg3mjhr7pa.irc) has joined #techrights
06:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], They make filing for an expungement extremely difficult.
06:37 DaemonFC; They don't want you to even ask them for one.
06:37 DaemonFC; They want to make it nearly hopeless if you're poor.
06:37 schestowitz[TR]; it is not profoitable product
06:37 schestowitz[TR]; they don't want it to be a top seller
06:37 schestowitz[TR]; otoh, see graveley
06:37 schestowitz[TR]; and how courts wear kids' glovesw when you throw money at them
06:37 DaemonFC; Yeah, if it was easy, then everyone would ask for one.
06:38 DaemonFC; Then where would the court find time to falsely convict other people and extract fines from them?
06:38 schestowitz[TR]; it is expensive for the state to prosecure rich people
06:38 schestowitz[TR]; similarly, irs
06:38 schestowitz[TR]; *cute
06:39 DaemonFC; Yeah, the whole reason there's an expungement system is so that rich people can ask for one.
06:39 schestowitz[TR]; did you realise the word prosecure... has cute in it? Cute!
06:39 DaemonFC; If it costs $2,000 for the lawyer to figure it out and $2,500 by the time you're done, I mean.

06:42 DaemonFC; Maybe the Texas court will cancel the guy for the felony. Nobody cares about cancel petitions on Shithub that Mr. GULAG ginned up over Stallman's blog posts.
06:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Life's already pretty hard as it is. There's nobody hiring much right now.
06:43 DaemonFC; So the ones that are just pick pick pick.
06:43 DaemonFC; Even about things they wouldn't normally care about.
06:44 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Did I tell you Social Security fucked up and almost confiscated all of my mom's checks for the year?
06:44 DaemonFC; They made a paperwork error at their office in Alabama.
06:45 DaemonFC; And she had to go to her local office and have them fix it. Turns out they just need to hang onto one check for this year and they'll give it back if she doesn't make more than the earnings limit for the rest of the year.
06:45 DaemonFC; They don't want people claiming Social Security and working a lot.
06:45 DaemonFC; Not paying you the money and then giving you back pay if your earnings were lower than anticipated, next year, is better optics than sending out lots of letters demanding money back from old people who don't have it.
06:47 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], It's best to go to a jury unless there's some legal argument you're making that a judge would more or less have to agree with.

06:48 DaemonFC; Juries don't really have to apply the law. The judge can give them instructions, but their verdict generally can't be set aside.
06:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], From those documents it looks like he agreed to go to anger management counseling or some bullshit and they dropped the charges.

06:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], It greatly helps your chances of leniency from the prosecutor if you can post bail.
06:57 schestowitz[TR]; Eventually he will kill someone
06:57 DaemonFC; It's much more difficult to get a person to agree to a bad plea deal to get something over with quickly if they're not at-risk of missing days at work and getting fired, thrown out of their apartment, etc.
06:58 DaemonFC; Prosecutors know even innocent people will plead guilty if they know they'll sit in jail for months waiting for their trial and then likely be sentenced to time served.
06:59 DaemonFC; So if you can't bail out, they offer you a really bad deal.

07:06 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Maybe. The courts don't care.
07:06 DaemonFC; They don't seem to realize it, but whether they harm innocent or guilty people, the courts just breed brokenness. They make people hate the government, hate the system, hate the cops.
07:07 DaemonFC; They take away your ability to earn a living and maybe even live anywhere.
07:07 DaemonFC; After a while you have nothing to lose and you're angry.
07:08 DaemonFC; People who are angry, bitter, and have nothing to lose can definitely become violent, or more violent.
07:09 DaemonFC; That's what the court system is. The process of your official punishment doesn't damage you enough directly to be life ending.
07:09 DaemonFC; Indirectly, you may start falling apart inside.
07:09 DaemonFC; The court has been the victim of its own success before.
07:10 DaemonFC; I remember a case in Indiana where I lived where the court gave a man a very bad deal in a divorce proceeding, so he came back with a gun and killed his ex-wife, her lawyer, and the judge.
07:11 DaemonFC; That wasn't even a criminal case.
07:11 DaemonFC; They humiliated the man and took everything he had and gave it to his adulterous ex spouse.
07:11 DaemonFC; "Justice system."

19:41 TR Bot; ( status 404 @ https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/target-becomes-america-s-worst-retailer/ )
19:41 DaemonFC; Again, the mainstream media wonders why all retailers are doing badly.
19:41 DaemonFC; 20 years ago, almost everyone had plenty of cash.
19:42 DaemonFC; If the new DVD you wanted was out, you just went to Best Buy and paid the $25 or $30, which was a lot more money back then, you know.
19:42 DaemonFC; You didn't think anything of it because there would be more money next week when you got paid.
19:42 DaemonFC; And that's how things should work, and that's not how things work anymore.
19:44 DaemonFC; People are too afraid to go buy a $20 item because the Democrat healthcare bill has tripled the cost of going to the doctor and the Democrat "rescue plans" have caused their savings to rot by 30% in just two years while the Democrat jobs creation plan still has us down 15 million jobs vs. Pre-Democrat COVID scam and employers are laying off again after it looked like things might have been leveling out for a while.
19:45 DaemonFC; And of course the Democrats don't want you to focus on how they've ruined your life, ruined your savings, and made you unemployable.
19:45 DaemonFC; So they send people out to accuse you of using the wrong gender pronouns, like Mister GULAG.
19:46 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, people are furious and the Republicans are biding their time knowing that soon, people will accept someone even worse than Trump, who also claims to "have all of the answers".
19:47 DaemonFC; It's amazing how they all have all of the answers. With every single one of them knowing exactly what to do for over 250 years, you'd think things would be better than ever.
19:48 DaemonFC; It's amazing that schestowitz-TR2-land is in terminal rot too and he still finds time for his petty torments.
19:48 DaemonFC; As if things were getting better all the time for them.
19:49 DaemonFC; The only thing an unarmed populace throws into the mix is that the government is even more brazen in the terror campaigns because it knows for sure nobody will show up to a council meeting fed up with it and shoot one of them.
19:50 DaemonFC; You notice Stallman was angry that things changed fast, even in California, when they got tired of their jobs being destroyed by the town council and started harassing them and voting them out until the people doing it were all gone?
19:50 DaemonFC; Well, they got rid of the locals doing it anyway. The state itself is a basket case.
19:51 DaemonFC; The reason they scare so easily is probably because politics there works a lot like it does in Illinois.
19:52 DaemonFC; They were already there for 20-30 years and had already stuffed their overseas bank accounts with bribe money and now they might actually get shot by someone for stepping over the line too much, so they decide to get out of Dodge and Stallman thinks this is bad because his news is the Grauniad.
19:52 *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
19:54 DaemonFC; Economics isn't really that complicated. The people who make it complicated are the ones who don't want anyone to understand that they're repackaging a complex system of theft.
19:55 DaemonFC; After the IRS sucks another $800 billion out of the American economy and spends it on all sorts of ridiculous things and, ironically worse, "deficit reduction", the economy will contract even more harshly than it has already.
19:56 DaemonFC; That's because most of their new enforcement power either targets low to middle income individuals who spend money and create jobs or businesses which will simply raise prices on the same people to account for the new tax loss.
19:57 DaemonFC; Broken down very simply..... Little Caesars had pizzas for $5 for many years.
19:57 DaemonFC; For more than 20 years, you could walk into Little Caesars any time of the day and grab a pepperoni pizza, and usually very fresh because the cheap price meant they sold a ton of them and were constantly making more.
19:59 DaemonFC; When Biden got into office, things started breaking down immediately. The $5 pizza that worked since the 1990s no longer was possible. First they raised it to $6, now $6.50. A lot of that is increases in the costs of labor and utilities, and having to make up for the cost of rent hikes at their stores by landlords, and supply chain problems making getting tomatoes, cheese, pepperoni, and pizza dough more difficult.
20:00 DaemonFC; The owners of the stores say they had been making 50 cents profit on the $5 pizza before, but now they're losing 30 cents every time they sell one for $6.50 but corporate demands they sell them and suggests using suggestive selling to make the customer leave with profitable items to make up for it.
20:01 DaemonFC; The workers got raises, you say? Oh well, that's spectacular. Maybe that makes up for everything, right? Wrong.
20:02 DaemonFC; Because the workers got raises, the owners have to prioritize who is left. Mandy's boss at Walmart has been on the war path firing people on the lower end of the productivity scale, even if they were technically making their rate, because corporate demands payroll cuts and so you find reasons to fire people even whose output is nominally acceptable. They become unemployable.
20:02 DaemonFC; Then the remaining workers have to work harder to make up for the fact that 10% more work needs to be done.
20:03 DaemonFC; While that's going on, the workers who got a raise are now kicked off of their Obamacare Medicaid and have go pay for health insurance, which their employer doesn't offer because the fine is cheaper. They also lose access to Head Start, which was watching their children while they were at work, and their food stamp benefits are cut in half.
20:04 DaemonFC; Then tax time comes along, and the Earned Income Tax Credit is no longer available to them, they also owe the IRS money, and Biden's new agents are combing over their previous filings looking for mistakes from the last 6 years where they took the credit.
20:06 DaemonFC; Then we get back to the pizzas. Little Caesars makes so much money that they lose 15% of their revenues to the government, which means they have to push those costs to the customer, just like their suppliers do to them, and the $6.50 pizza is now $9 while the IRS is harassing the low wage workers, only 80% of which still have a job.
20:07 DaemonFC; Sales crash because everyone is losing their jobs and wages regress to the minimum amount that is legally payable to the rest because so many people need a job.
20:07 DaemonFC; And the remaining workers lose their jobs and the store closes.
20:08 DaemonFC; Then you get to the Democrat Fairness principle. 15 people including the manager who worked at each of those stores now has no jobs, the government is collecting no tax because they destroyed the business, the owner of the business is ruined, and now everything is fair.

20:08 DaemonFC; Then they can't spend money anywhere else, so more people in the economy lose their jobs and so on and so on.
20:09 DaemonFC; It's so simple you could explain it to a five year old.
20:09 DaemonFC; Why doesn't Richard Stallman get it?
20:10 DaemonFC; The Democrats are ruining the economy, ruining America, and distracting everyone with complaints about gender pronouns.

20:11 DaemonFC; Someone in Canada explained to me what's going on with their stupid politicians.
20:12 DaemonFC; They want to pass a new national dental plan while they haven't given doctors and nurses a raise in decades and all of those people are fleeing to work in the US, and their emergency rooms are closing down.
20:12 DaemonFC; You want to really fuck something up, give it to the government. Any government. They've proven they're idiots.

20:29 Ariadne; its misrepresentation of copyleft to drive sales that is the problem
20:29 DaemonFC; So that you could get a few titles for the SNES to work.
20:30 DaemonFC; Console emulation is tricky. You can have it run well or you can have it run accurately. The more accurately it runs, the slower everything it runs will work, even if those particular titles were more forgiving.
20:30 Ariadne; minio can sell all the commercial licenses they want. but trying to scare people about AGPL to do it isnt acceptable
20:30 DaemonFC; I think 100% accuracy was a goal that's 10-20 years off from being reasonable.

20:36 DaemonFC; But doesn't understand that the ride share companies delivering his pizzas are going under because the people who don't want to mess with it are not compensating the driver enough to even bother filling up the gas tank and bringing it to them.
20:37 DaemonFC; So the end result will be....Uber and Grub Hub won't exist in a few years, and they'll be picking up their own pizza.
20:37 DaemonFC; Which is beneath them, you know. Or the pizza company will have to hire its own drivers again and pay them a fair market rate.

22:13 DaemonFC; It led from a situation where the feds were too timid to spark a confrontation to one where the federal government took much more power for itself.

22:17 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Sometimes the threat of doing something is worth more than doing the thing.

22:22 schestowitz[TR]; and it was about slaves
22:22 schestowitz[TR]; the dissent was PRO-slavery

22:24 schestowitz[TR]; first there was colonialism
22:24 schestowitz[TR]; then slave trade

22:29 DaemonFC; Imagine what we'd do with all that money. It's not all about money, but in some cases it's about money.
22:29 DaemonFC; And so when a guy complains about cold fries at Burger King and the guy working there punches him to death and we have to have a trial and imprisonment and everything, that costs a million and a half dollars.

22:38 schestowitz[TR]; there are plenty of nice villages outside oslo
