00:02 schestowitz[TR]; russia does not own everything in ukraine

00:02 *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
00:02 *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
00:03 schestowitz[TR]; and it's not ukraine attacking the nuclear power plants
00:03 schestowitz[TR]; it's the (soon) 70 year old nutcase
00:03 heureka; i consider the nuclear facilities neither ukrainian nor russian, it is soviet facilities
00:03 heureka; and both ukrainians and russians are former soviet union citizens
00:04 *swaggboi has quit (Quit: C-x C-c)
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; you say "soviet"
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; as code for
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; Russia owns
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; Hun gary
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; Romania
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; Ukraine
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; Poland
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; and so on
00:04 heureka; meaning, even when soviet union ceased to exist, such a plant is neither exclusively russian nor ukrainian
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; and part of Germany
00:05 heureka; and certainly it isn't a nuclear facility USA had any authority to aim with ballistic missiles at
00:05 schestowitz[TR]; did it occur to you thre Russian empire never belonged there?
00:05 heureka; at least, this is what was broadcasted, ukrainians supplied with US artillery enjoying to shoot heavy artillery
00:05 schestowitz[TR]; just like Hitler's Allemania doe NOT own France
00:06 heureka; in any case, USA artillery doesn't belong there
00:06 heureka; and analogy to this would be, Russia sending artillery to Arizona to take aim at Californian nuclear facilities
00:07 heureka; this is how crazy it is, what USA did
00:07 heureka; in Ukraine
00:08 heureka; another idea, an analogy to what USA "think tanks" do in Ukraine
00:08 heureka; to provide Northern Ireland with ballistic missiles to take aim at british nuclear facilities

00:34 XRevan86; And here I was thinking that the claim that the Russian Media Monitor exposed about the US shooting at the plant is ludicrous.
00:34 XRevan86; Turns out, there's one person who takes it seriously.
00:34 heureka; in a way, Putin contracted with those industry leaders and politicians, which he now portrays as "washington minions"
00:34 XRevan86; Maybe, just maybe, Russia should show footage of at least one such missile strike.

00:36 heureka; the German howitzer 2000 Ukraine demanded was 30miles radius
00:37 heureka; in recent decades, the german foreign doctrine was: "No weapons supplies into conflict zones"
00:37 XRevan86; GMLRS have a ~90km range.
00:37 heureka; nowadays this should be extended with, "except if it serves USA interests to do so"
00:40 XRevan86; It is an interesting propaganda take that it's the US that wants a nuclear disaster in Europe.
00:41 DaemonFC; The only nuclear disaster in Europe was the fault of the Russians.

00:42 DaemonFC; Eventually it'll cause that bridge to explode too.
00:44 heureka; Tchernobyl, was a _soviet_ facility, not a "russian" as such, and Tchernobyl was located on White-Russian/Ukrainian territory, not in motherland russia
00:44 XRevan86; That changes everything.
00:44 heureka; either you say "soviet nuclear facility", and if you prefer post-soviet designations, then it's Ukrainian and White-Russian facility
00:45 heureka; otherwise, i would be curious, which other russian nuclear disaster occured, if any
00:45 XRevan86; heureka: I do have a question: Belarus is involved in this how?
00:46 heureka; XRevan86: involved how? it's a simple fact Tchernobyl is a few meters close to White-Russia.
00:46 XRevan86; heureka: So everything that's a few metres close to Belarus is partly Belarusian, interesting.
00:47 XRevan86; Poland should start worrying.
00:47 heureka; i said, Tchernobyl was/is a _soviet_ facility, not a russian one. and Russia isn't Soviet Union.
00:47 heureka; Czech republic too operates(d) nuclear facilities, _soviet_ ones.
00:48 heureka; to my knowledge east-german nuclear facilities are completely shut down nowadays
00:48 XRevan86; heureka: So it's an ex-Soviet facility, which is now fully owned by Energoatom, correct?
00:48 heureka; east-germany was an important uranium mining operator...
00:49 XRevan86; heureka: Rosatom and the Defence Ministry of Russia are uninvited guests at the facility, correct?
00:49 heureka; XRevan86: it's certainly totally misguided if Ukraine/Zelensky nowadays imply Russians had no place inside _soviet_ facilities
00:49 XRevan86; heureka: There's no such thing as a Soviet Union.
00:50 heureka; and even less had USA any authority over _soviet_ nuclear facilities, and i question the legitimacy of USA shipping heavy artillery close nearby soviet nuclear facilities
00:50 heureka; i mean, if any security council in Russia ran out of patience, there is some arguments to be made
00:51 XRevan86; heureka: Maybe Ukrainians have a place inside Soviet facilities in Russia.
00:51 heureka; this isn't an opinion, it's a fact USA shipped heavy artillery into Ukraine
00:51 heureka; XRevan86: equipped with US heavy artillery?
00:53 heureka; and yes, it's a difference, if Tchernobyl was operated by Ukrainians or Russians, and who was responsible for the disaster
00:53 heureka; some argument was, Soviet Union collapsed because of this, Tchernobyl.
00:53 XRevan86; heureka: Ukrainian saboteurs that blew up the power lines in Kursk probably haven't used any US artillery.
00:55 heureka; raises even more questions, since, nuclear facilities require electricity even when they shut down and do not provide electricity themselves anymore
00:57 heureka; that's why Fukushima escalated, because emergency energy supply and cooling malfunctioned, although the facilities stopped production

01:01 DaemonFC; Chernobyl isn't far from the Russian border today, mostly Russians were there that night, and most of the political strength within the USSR was Russian. Certainly it was more of a Russian disaster than where they happened to locate the facility.
01:02 DaemonFC; They made all of the decisions that led to the disaster, all of the lies they told while it was getting worse, and the decisions that made it worse than it had to be.
01:04 DaemonFC; Most of the money to deal with long term containment ended up coming from Europe and the United States because the successor states of the USSR were all broke.
01:05 heureka; says who?
01:05 heureka; to my knowledge it was "Liquidators" who contained the disaster
01:06 XRevan86; heureka: DaemonFC means the sarcophagus.
01:07 heureka; this too was built by soviets
01:07 XRevan86; There's more than one.

01:08 heureka; DaemonFC: why wouldn't USA not bother with their own nuclear facilities first, in Fukushima, and see how that went, with containment there.
01:08 DaemonFC; The US and Europe largely funded the NSC which will last a couple hundred years.
01:08 DaemonFC; The United States includes Japan now?
01:08 DaemonFC; I did not notice the 51 star flag.
01:08 DaemonFC; I apologize.
01:08 heureka; of cause not, the Fukushima nuclear plant was/is a USA nuclear design
01:09 heureka; correct me if i am wrong
01:09 DaemonFC; So, first off let's go by deaths.
01:10 DaemonFC; The fake Soviet numbers even admit that over 400 people died directly due to Chernobyl.
01:10 heureka; in any case, USA shipping heavy artillery to threaten soviet nuclear facilities, is far beyond anything i could have imagined
01:10 DaemonFC; But more accurate estimates put total deaths due to the accident at 11,000 to 14,000.
01:10 DaemonFC; Whereas, only 1 person is known to have died due to the incident at Fukushima.
01:10 heureka; that's a credible reporting, certainly, i trust USA propaganda

01:11 heureka; DaemonFC: and if you spout more of it, don't expect me remaining polite
01:11 DaemonFC; This is mostly because the Fukushima reactors were not as poorly designed as the terrible Soviet ones.
01:11 DaemonFC; The Soviet one exploded and exposed the core.
01:12 heureka; the fukushima one melted down
01:12 DaemonFC; Secondly, the cause of the Chernobyl accident was mostly operator incompetence and piss poor reactor design.
01:12 DaemonFC; The cause of the Fukushima one was a tsunami, which is a natural disaster.
01:12 heureka; hydrogen explosions blew up the roof-tops of the reactor buildings in Fukushima, live on tv that was...

01:13 TR Bot; The World of Linux Through the Lens of ZDNet in 2022 | Techrights
01:13 heureka; DaemonFC: wrong, emergency electricity supply and cooling malfunctioned. which was when the buildings exploded.
01:13 DaemonFC; There's a difference between a coolant release and the control rods exploding and exposing a reactor core, pieces of which landed for miles in every direction.
01:13 heureka; the tsunami destroyed the emergency electricity supply of fukushima.
01:14 heureka; that's why the core melted.
01:14 DaemonFC; It was stupid to put a nuclear plant there.
01:14 heureka; and the soviet design in chernobyl, was a totally different reactor design.
01:14 DaemonFC; But Japan is responsible for where they put them.
01:14 DaemonFC; And it was not a flaw in the American reactor designs.
01:14 heureka; soviets got different reactor types: RBMK and WWER, in Ukraine it was an RBMK reactor which exploded.
01:15 DaemonFC; If it had not been for the tsunami, it would still be generating nuclear power, safely, today.
01:15 DaemonFC; Had the exact same facility been in Illinois, it would be running for hundreds of years.
01:15 heureka; the Fukushima reactor design is closer to the WWER soviet design.
01:15 TR News; "There are 2661 capsules. We successfully connected recently to 2078 of them." gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi
01:15 DaemonFC; Well, there's only so many ways you can build a utility scale reactor.
01:16 DaemonFC; Many gasoline engines are designed in similar ways. But if you cut costs on parts, you can have a disaster or an unreliable engine.
01:16 heureka; the reson why Fukushima disaster was different, isn't any "superior US" design, WWER type reactors have different physical characteristics than RBMK ones.
01:16 DaemonFC; Ask Hyundai.
01:17 heureka; in any case, in Fukushima it was a USA reactor which puffed.
01:17 heureka; and the tsunami disaster didn't destroy the reactors themselves, the emergency electricity supply and emergency cooling malfunctioned.
01:18 heureka; thats why the reactors exploded some hours _after_ the tsunami, because the explosions were caused by malfunctioning cooling and electricity supply.
01:18 heureka; the tsunami did _not_ destroy the reactors, it was the failing emergency cooling and missing electricity supply: "made in usa" i might add, not soviet union.

01:31 starstreak; im britney
01:32 heureka; there was some rumors, Westinghouse Electric Rods didn't fit into soviet reactors or something, and who knows what else they did...
01:32 heureka; and then Ukraine (under dictate of Biddler J. USA) argues, IAEO independent organization, may not enter?
01:33 heureka; given Bursima Joe, i mean, why wouldn't Biddler himself visit Zaporizhzhia?
01:35 heureka; the other part of the theory is, the nuclear power-to-gas hypothesis...
01:38 heureka; instead of an IAEO inspection, USA supply heavy artillery, because otherwise this would "legitimize Russian presence"?
01:38 heureka; i might ask, what did legitimize USA presence in Ukraine with heavy artillery?
01:39 heureka; "March 2022, the nuclear and thermal power stations were both captured by Russian forces" and no official inspection report from IAEO since then?
01:40 XRevan86; heureka: Ye are not strong with chronology, are ye?
01:41 heureka; "On 8 August 2022, damage was reported at the plant. Ukrainian authorities said that Russian shelling had damaged three radiation sensors and left a worker hospitalised"
01:41 heureka; XRevan86
01:42 heureka; i mean, a nuclear plant under shelling, is hitting radiation sensors? this must be highly precise artillery to hit radiation sensors specifically.
01:43 heureka; where is the enemy? there it is, radiation sensors, fire at will.
01:44 heureka; anyway, this is the Ukranian version of the story. and the Russian variant isn't convincing either, IAEO required 5 month to arrive for an inspection.
01:45 heureka; yeah, well, we got some precise artillery here, and hit some radiation sensors, otherwise everything's fine... sure.
01:55 MinceR; 20 020857 < heureka> of cause not, the Fukushima nuclear plant was/is a USA nuclear design
01:55 MinceR; and after the Three Mile Island incident, GE suggested improvements, and the japanese refused to implement them.
01:56 heureka; MinceR: would be curious, which improvement?
01:56 MinceR; 20 010432 < heureka> meaning, even when soviet union ceased to exist, such a plant is neither exclusively russian nor ukrainian
01:56 MinceR; maybe you should look up what the word "soviet" means.

03:09 DaemonFC; (A) In general.If a financial institution or any director, officer, employee, or agent of any financial institution, voluntarily or pursuant to this section or any other authority, reports a suspicious transaction to a government agency
03:09 DaemonFC; (i) neither the financial institution, director, officer, employee, or agent of such institution (whether or not any such person is still employed by the institution), nor any other current or former director, officer, or employee of, or contractor for, the financial institution or other reporting person, may notify any person involved in the transaction that the transaction has been reported or otherwise reveal any information that would

03:09 DaemonFC; So both the state government and the bank committed a federal crime by telling me that.
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; what did you ask for?
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; also, can you run more names through the same process?
03:11 DaemonFC; I asked the state government to open an investigation into Maricel for insurance fraud.
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; I mena, some hogh-profile people?
03:11 DaemonFC; They contacted the insurance company and the insurance company listed all actions they took regarding the fraud.
03:11 DaemonFC; Including filing a SAR with FinCEN regarding Maricel.
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; ha
03:12 schestowitz[TR]; on what basis, like reasonable suspicion, did you file this?

03:13 schestowitz[TR]; wow
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; you cou;ld probably put her in prison
03:13 DaemonFC; I contacted the insurance company, which had Mandy file an Affidavit of Fraud regarding the policy. I dictated what to tell them, and then we got it notarized and sent back to the insurance fraud investigators.
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; now the glove is on the other hand
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; of sock on the foot
03:14 DaemonFC; FinCEN is aware of suspicious activity regarding her checking account now, because the insurance company filed a SAR.
03:14 DaemonFC; So they might bust her for all sorts of things.
03:14 schestowitz[TR]; "ghetto people"
03:15 DaemonFC; If she's using her accounts to fund those crypto wallets and not filing income taxes, the IRS could get her for tax evasion.
03:15 schestowitz[TR]; that's what she said

03:15 DaemonFC; I was considering filing a report with the IRS mentioning the FinCEN SAR and the insurance fraud, and stating that I have knowledge that she uses cryptocurrency and was bragging about cheating on her income tax.

03:24 schestowitz[TR]; starting a campaign of hate?

03:25 DaemonFC; I asked why he wasn't going to get treatment since he was obviously severely depressed and had a negative self image.
03:25 DaemonFC; He said if he started talking to a psychiatrist, he was worried that the TSA would get rid of him.

03:27 DaemonFC; Until it was too late and she got burned and had to hire a lawyer to dig herself out while we did okay.
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; ok, let's have fun with thisa tweet
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; give her a taste of her own poison
03:28 DaemonFC; I can mislead other people pretty easily. The best way in is to make them think very little of you. The less they think you are capable of doing to them, the less prepared they are when they find out what you have done.
03:29 DaemonFC; You want people who may give you a hard time and are in a position to do that to not put forth their best effort.
03:30 DaemonFC; "Playing dumb." is actually really good advice in these situations. When they are observing you, they are sizing you up.
03:30 DaemonFC; Pretend as if you have absolutely no idea what's going on or what they're trying to do to you.
03:31 DaemonFC; You need to be able to subtly manipulate things in the background in ways that nobody is going to notice.
03:31 heureka; what for?
03:31 DaemonFC; Such as deploying stall tactics to give yourself more time to prepare and to give them more time to commit to mistakes that will really set them back.
03:32 DaemonFC; Well, you know, like, one time I put a hold on my own mail so I could go down to the post office weekly and pick it up and see what it was before I tossed it in the inbox.
03:32 DaemonFC; Then when the one that I needed delayed for a week or so came, I held on, and threw it in a day after it was too late.
03:33 DaemonFC; To the other person, it looked like we were still getting mail regularly, except for that one piece, which got delayed for some reason. Stuck in a mail sorting machine or fell on the floor somewhere.
03:33 DaemonFC; WHo knows?
03:34 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, the window for increased harm came and went.
03:35 DaemonFC; You see, people out to attack you will try to cause as much damage as possible.
03:36 DaemonFC; You might have 3-4 months with nothing better to do than to dismantle their ability to do that, bit by bit, until only 5-10% of their potential remains.
03:38 DaemonFC; They're over there, licking their chops about how to really fuck you over, and their means by which to do it is literally a foot above them on top of the fridge every time they go to make a sandwich.
03:39 DaemonFC; My favorite part of that was that they ordered psychiatric treatment.
03:39 DaemonFC; I had been deliberately using the term therapist regarding my psychiatrist, who does medication management for about 10 minutes each 6 months.
03:39 DaemonFC; So they ordered me to go see my therapist and talk about this.
03:39 DaemonFC; So I only had to do that once.
03:40 DaemonFC; It's not like weekly sessions going on for an hour or anything.
03:41 DaemonFC; Once probation figured out what I did, they asked me to "volunteer" for moral reconation therapy. I said, "Is that a requirement?". She says, "Well, the court didn't order it so I can't force you to go.". I said, "In that case I respectfully decline.".
03:42 TR News; "Palestine free, from the river to the sea" adl
03:42 DaemonFC; By the time I was finished with them, it was basically like, checking in every month and pissing in a cup and they couldn't do shit about me.
03:42 DaemonFC; heureka, I can tie people in circles. Not a hell of a lot came out of that.
03:43 DaemonFC; And now the entire record will be gone soon.
03:44 DaemonFC; I don't know that I am an antisocial personality type. I wouldn't say that I'm a strongly antisocial personality type.
03:45 DaemonFC; I do feel guilt about certain things, an antisocial personality doesn't feel guilt at all.
03:45 heureka; seems you're a human being
03:45 DaemonFC; If a person is in my way or has done something grotesque, I'll use whatever I can to remove the threat or settle the score.
03:46 DaemonFC; Like, I haven't told the IRS about "MARISOL" cheating on her taxes.
03:46 DaemonFC; I would never blackmail anyone.
03:46 heureka; who is this "marisol"?
03:46 DaemonFC; But if anything happens where she becomes a problem for me again?
03:46 DaemonFC; I'll print out the notice to the IRS, fill it out, and drop it in a mail box.
03:46 DaemonFC; And they can tear her to shreds with a tax audit.
03:47 DaemonFC; What will I say? "I was sitting at her house and she was discussing hiding money in bitcoin exchanges such as [the ones I know about by name] and she told me that she didn't like the IRS very much and wasn't paying her taxes on it.".
03:48 DaemonFC; "I know that there is at least [x] amount of money in these accounts because she flashed a screen on her iPhone while she was bragging about it."
03:49 DaemonFC; "She is already in FinCEN regarding insurance fraud, as CUNA Mutual filed an SAR regarding it."
03:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], They pay the person who rats them out a percentage of what they recover.
03:50 DaemonFC; So she would be ordered to pay them fines and penalties and back taxes, and I would get several thousand dollars of her money while she's busy in tax court.
03:51 DaemonFC; She could potentially face criminal charges as well.
03:51 DaemonFC; Intentionally concealing money to not pay your taxes is a crime.
03:51 DaemonFC; Stupidly forgetting to report something is different. That's just penalties.

03:53 schestowitz[TR]; they're "always the victim"
03:54 DaemonFC; Yeah, but at least one of them is also a narcissist and machiavellian.
03:55 DaemonFC; Simply being manipulative sometimes if you have to be isn't a high enough bar to call someone a Machiavellian type.
03:56 DaemonFC; They also have to display callousness and indifference to things like the harm they cause to others. In most cases, they'll seriously hurt someone else only for minimal gains for themselves.

04:03 DaemonFC; I don't want to see a bunch of people prosecuted, because you'd then have to prosecute potentially millions of people.

05:12 DaemonFC; It was some kind of ghoulish get rich scheme where she planned to have him murdered.

05:12 DaemonFC; That's why the policy was redirected to my PO Box.
05:12 phanes; a doctor would have to examine him
05:12 DaemonFC; I had a mail forward for him from her house.

05:50 DaemonFC; Nobody knows exactly what the Fed will do. The last time we were in a situation like this, they jacked rates up to like 20% I think.
05:50 DaemonFC; And we're a long ways off from that.
05:51 DaemonFC; They're very worried about a recession too.
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; i c
05:51 DaemonFC; The only question about the recession and the inflation is where the numbers land. But we're going to be dealing with both, I'd say, for a few years.
05:52 DaemonFC; I think the clearest indicator of their plans was, today I read the President of the San Francisco Fed saying to expect rate hikes every meeting through at least late 2023.
05:52 DaemonFC; That could get us to 10-20%.
05:52 DaemonFC; It depends on what the exact sizes are.
05:53 DaemonFC; I see them leaning towards awful recession to get prices under control.
05:53 DaemonFC; Price instability tends to damage business planning for the longer term.
05:53 DaemonFC; A violent recession for a year or two is the lesser evil.
05:54 DaemonFC; Plus, the wealthy don't really care as much about how many jobs there are as protecting the value of their own assets.
05:56 DaemonFC; The government can't or won't do much.
05:56 DaemonFC; Stimulus acts don't work very well.
05:58 DaemonFC; The Inflation Reduction Act will fail for completely different reasons than ARRA did in 2009. In 2009, ARRA dumped about $300 billion in tax cuts. Almost 40% of the bill's cost.
05:59 DaemonFC; But when people are frightened they don't spend the tax cut. They save it. So that doesn't help the economy. The Inflation Reduction Act does the opposite.
05:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 49.73 k/sec., IPFS upstream 73.83 average k/sec., average swarm size 114.96
06:00 DaemonFC; It increases taxes by almost $737 billion and spends half of that. The spending itself will cause demand, which will cause inflation, which will theoretically be nullified by a little deficit reduction. However.....
06:01 DaemonFC; $300 billion of deficit reduction over 10 years, when they spend more money every year, is really more fake deficit reduction.
06:01 DaemonFC; To reduce the deficit and bring inflation under control, they'd need budget cuts AND a tax increase, which would slow inflation by decreasing demand.
06:01 DaemonFC; So the bill won't do either.
06:03 DaemonFC; If they want to reduce inflation with budget cuts, the obvious way to do that is to change the budgeting process itself and ban pork spending or make it significantly harder to pull off by making it subject to a 60 vote threshold.
06:04 DaemonFC; Ridding their budget bills of pork spending would save almost $2 trillion over 10 years. That's the sort of thing where you'd begin to see some effects on inflation.
06:05 DaemonFC; Congress spends so much money now that you could seize all of the wealth of the 100 richest Americans with the IRS and it wouldn't even cover the deficit for a year.
06:06 DaemonFC; All of the money Bill Gates has would cover the federal budget for about 4 days, I think.
06:06 DaemonFC; Then it would be gone, we'd still be in the same boat.
06:10 DaemonFC; But someone asked Hillary Clinton how the federal government could save money and she started talking about changes in how they requisition ink pens.
06:13 *horseface (~horseface@9ucczhkmm895g.irc) has joined #techrights
06:16 DaemonFC; The truth that the government doesn't want anyone to think about is they need inflation because it spreads the pain around and makes it look like we're not bleeding for the government.
06:17 DaemonFC; Then they can say it's the fault of scalpers who just want more money.
06:17 DaemonFC; I was looking at a spreadsheet of the costs of buying items for running a restaurant, and I'm surprised they haven't raised prices more than they have.

06:48 heureka; DaemonFC: what's the price of cooking oil per liter?
06:52 DaemonFC; I can tell you at Walmart right now it's $8.17 a gallon for vegetable oil.
06:52 DaemonFC; In 2019 it was like $3 and something.
06:53 DaemonFC; $42 for 3 gallons of peanut oil. And that's the store brand.
06:54 heureka; roughly the same in germany: beginning of this year plant oil was 1euro/liter, then it was out of stock for several weeks, and reappeared for 2euro/liter
06:54 heureka; price doubled in a few days
06:54 DaemonFC; So it depends on what you want to cook in.
06:54 DaemonFC; I like how stuff turns out in peanut oil.
06:54 DaemonFC; Very good for fried chicken.
06:54 DaemonFC; But who can afford that anymore?
06:54 DaemonFC; I've resorted to using the air fryer so all I have to do is spray the chicken itself.
06:55 DaemonFC; It makes the supply of oil last much longer.
06:55 DaemonFC; You don't technically have to use oil in the air fryer, but if you don't use a little, the stuff doesn't get crispy like it should sometimes.
06:56 DaemonFC; Although I've noticed for fries, you don't need any oil at all and they come out just fine.
06:56 DaemonFC; The price has just gotten insane. Absolutely insane.
06:57 DaemonFC; If I was deep frying, 3 gallons of peanut oil would last us about a couple of months because I like to do chicken, fish, french fries, shrimp. Just all kinds of things.
06:57 heureka; i don't know, 3gallons, that's more than 10liters of oil, and peanut oil is probably a quality product
06:57 DaemonFC; But with the air fryer, 3 gallons would last you years.
06:57 heureka; and 10liters of oil, with a consumption of 100ml/day (recommended amount), such oil should last ~100days
06:58 DaemonFC; Peanut oilPeanut oil is a healthier oil to use than "vegetable" or "corn" oil.

07:02 DaemonFC; Those are quite expensive sometimes and you may not remember if you have a jar already.

07:07 heureka; the excess price increase is concerning
07:08 heureka; because, once such a trend was started, i doubt this can be stopped with peaceful manners
07:09 heureka; as said, i was "blessed" with two "currency reforms" already (expropriations), i am 40years old now, and the recent inflationary trend is the third expropriation wave
07:09 heureka; only good thing, i've got nothing anymore, they robbed looted and plundered _everything_ already
07:10 heureka; i mean, 20 years ago, i wasn't at least worth some office, in _my_ own homeland, government had more important ideas and projects in mind
07:10 heureka; with their "higher" intellect
07:11 heureka; no car, no holidays, no family, no office, nothing... that's the best economic agenda ever invented
07:12 heureka; now they say "social ecological justice", yet i fail to recognize any benefit to their "climate change" either
07:12 heureka; simply because, it wasn't me who wasted millions of kWh for nothing, as their industry did
07:13 heureka; ocassionally, i enjoy reminding them, of what they accomplished
07:14 heureka; end of 2022 in germany "final nuclear shutdown" scheduled

19:11 techuser; yes, if we start from scratch

19:13 schestowitz[TR]; the alternatives are analogue
19:13 techuser; Apple PC and anything after (and many things before) it was designed with money in mind
19:14 heureka; of cause it is acceptable to rely on "free software" GNU compiler and GNU binutils
19:14 heureka; however, what is totally unacceptable is this: it is impossible to replace those with an _alternative_
19:15 heureka; it is possible with GCC; however i don't see a chance to detangle GNU binutils with the related vendor-specific and GNU specific ASM
19:16 heureka; and that's the reason why, i consider GNU problematic, because GNU does not prevent anti-competitive vendor-locks
19:16 heureka; even if it's not the intention of GNU (there's many reasons why it's difficult to prevent vendor-locks)
19:17 heureka; I did slightly underestimate the severity of vendor-specific and GNU-specific ASM (gnu assembler, gas)
19:19 heureka; because, i had seen 99.9% of builds pass with tcc CC/LD/AR/AS, and then all libc i know are cluttered with ASM only gas could assemble
19:19 heureka; furthermore, typically _ALL_ binaries do link against libc, needless to say

19:23 schestowitz[TR]; what standards?
19:23 heureka; and i think, GNU/FSF didn't at least bother with any efforts, instead happily attracted development man power to support _anti-competitive_ implementations
19:23 schestowitz[TR]; remember whatg a comppiler is or becomes
19:23 schestowitz[TR]; many companies make shitty new hardware
19:24 heureka; schestowitz[TR]: for ASM? none that i am aware of.

19:24 schestowitz[TR]; even poorly
19:24 schestowitz[TR]; but then ther hardware won't sell well

19:28 schestowitz[TR]; you didn't even write your own compiler

19:28 schestowitz[TR]; but you complain about a bloated one
19:28 schestowitz[TR]; which is free
19:28 schestowitz[TR]; calling it anti-competitive
19:29 schestowitz[TR]; maybe youy want to carve out some stuff
19:29 schestowitz[TR]; and run it on a branch of wood
19:29 schestowitz[TR]; to do your computing
19:29 heureka; sure, i only slightly patched tcc, and then saw 99.9% of all c-only toolchain builds succeed.
19:30 heureka; and it's not the compiler anymore, it's the assembler
19:30 schestowitz[TR]; you could get very old versions of gcc
19:30 schestowitz[TR]; but not dependent hardware an d software that go with them
19:30 heureka; and yes, that's where i arrived to consider "free software" development: Z80, gigatron ttl or similar
19:31 heureka; besides, my income for one year of work, ~70h/week, guess what: 0Coins

19:36 heureka; i hate being cheated like this
19:37 heureka; because, if GNU/FSF/Linux were honest, it would be different; to know it's not "free", ok.

20:09 heureka; however, i do not want to, because it is impossible to set AS=arm-tcc or AS=i386-tcc and pass with any libc
20:09 heureka; bootstrappable.org hacked musl-1.x and tcc, and succeeded, nonetheless, even this isn't convincing

20:12 heureka; and of cause, at the ASM level, programming is closely tied to the hardware
20:12 heureka; however, it's the software-side which doesn't offer a sufficient alternative to binutils-AS
20:12 heureka; and the hardware-side and variant chaos make it _extremely_ difficult to cope with
20:13 heureka; that's why the GPL freedoms are mostly void
20:13 heureka; and the entire "free software" builds upon this
20:19 heureka; then next, another reasoning is necessary, with a strong tie to hardware with ASM hacking

23:11 DaemonFC; I have to perform 6-8x better on the test than a black person to even get in the door because of racist policies.
23:11 DaemonFC; And so that's part of the system that has me stuck where I am.
23:12 schestowitz[TR]; "white privilege rhmes with oxbridge
23:12 DaemonFC; If I was black, there'd be blackness grants and I wouldn't have to do very well on the test.
23:12 schestowitz[TR]; they even have status there
23:12 DaemonFC; Can you sign your name? Great. Get in there!
23:12 DaemonFC; You pass!

23:13 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The testing standards for black people at major universities like Harvard have been reduced, but it's not just Harvard.
23:13 DaemonFC; The tests have been eliminated at public universities.
23:13 DaemonFC; Those tests were there to protect you from enrolling and racking up debt for something you wouldn't be any good at.
23:14 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: draft ready
23:14 DaemonFC; Getting rid of the tests isn't going to improve our country if you still can't put in the work when you get there.

23:14 DaemonFC; They do the same thing with employment law. They don't want to quit MAKING felons.
23:14 DaemonFC; So they pass laws where they have to offer you the job first but can take it back from you by running a felony check which changes everything.
23:15 DaemonFC; So what does that accomplish? Remind you of how bad the system is fucking you and that you were denied a job you were qualified for, which they WERE going to give you, and it's definitely the felony?
23:15 DaemonFC; You still don't have a job and now you REALLY have resentment, right?

23:19 DaemonFC; And instead of encouraging prudence and fiscal responsibility, we have junk culture now.
23:19 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I strongly dislike consumerism.
23:19 schestowitz[TR]; sex and violence
23:19 DaemonFC; But that's not our only problem.
23:19 schestowitz[TR]; i consume what i need
23:19 schestowitz[TR]; water, some energy

23:20 DaemonFC; That was one of the problems, I suppose, from my mental health conditions.
23:20 schestowitz[TR]; people try to 'fit in'
23:20 schestowitz[TR]; the ads tell them consumption = fitting in
23:20 DaemonFC; You know, they might call it "sex addiction". I've had troubles with that, but it's like being an alcoholic that has to avoid.
23:20 schestowitz[TR]; "your frfierned swill come over to see your new [widget]";
23:21 DaemonFC; One drink can set them back off again and they're crashing the car into a Taco Bell and being hauled off to prison.
23:21 schestowitz[TR]; your dad seem,s like a pr0n addict
23:21 schestowitz[TR]; seems harmless
23:21 DaemonFC; And this person's life is ending and they throw it in the news on Facebook complete with the guy's car hanging out of the taco bell, right?
23:22 DaemonFC; So people can "haha" it.

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; other
23:22 DaemonFC; Yes, the others were far worse for my mom than my dad was.
23:22 DaemonFC; I honestly believe that as much porn as he hoarded, he never did cheat on her.
23:22 schestowitz[TR]; but looo at all those tapes!!!!!!!
23:22 schestowitz[TR]; -madame harmon
23:22 DaemonFC; And I have never witnessed anything that would lead me to think he ever hit her.
23:23 DaemonFC; Yeah, so it was all about her resenting him for loading up on porn and being tight with money.
23:23 DaemonFC; So she dumps him and gets people who are violent and bring home an STD.
23:23 DaemonFC; Thank god, not a very bad STD.
23:23 DaemonFC; But I mean, so much worse than dad.
23:24 DaemonFC; She resented him for a lot of reasons.
23:24 DaemonFC; I don't know how you can resent someone for being cheap. That's a good thing!
23:24 DaemonFC; Stick with them. Probably won't ever lose your home or get sued by anyone!
23:24 schestowitz[TR]; i know the feeling
23:24 schestowitz[TR]; my dad
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; he was 'stingy'
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; save for the kids
23:25 DaemonFC; My dad made sure we always had perfectly good clothes to wear.
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; envy of friends
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; who go onm more hpolidays a
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; and show off what they 'consume
23:25 DaemonFC; We actually always had really good food. The sky was the limit on food.
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; women compete on besting
23:25 DaemonFC; Always had a good place to live.
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; consumerism
23:25 schestowitz[TR]; "her kitchen is bigger than mine"
23:26 schestowitz[TR]; "they do opn holiday 3 times a year, why we only fly twice?"
23:26 DaemonFC; Yes, all of the irresponsible financial decisions in that marriage were my mom.
23:26 DaemonFC; New cars we didn't need.
23:26 DaemonFC; A bigger house with a bigger house payment.
23:26 DaemonFC; Some things she got into a fight with my dad about were reasonable from her end, but they were minor in the scheme of things.
23:27 DaemonFC; Like, the dishwasher broke down and she was arguing with him about replacing it. It was only a dishwasher. Just buy a dishwasher. There was plenty of money for it.
23:27 schestowitz[TR]; today the neighbour''s cat came over here
23:27 schestowitz[TR]; we both patted her
23:27 DaemonFC; It's not like you have a 5 year old car there's nothing even wrong with and she wants another car. That was ridiculous.
23:27 schestowitz[TR]; cheaper thsan kids
23:27 schestowitz[TR]; and it's not even your pet
23:28 schestowitz[TR]; many cats of the neighbours come over
23:28 DaemonFC; I love cats.
23:28 DaemonFC; I have a couple of them.
23:28 schestowitz[TR]; you cultivate the soil for mthem to poo in
23:28 DaemonFC; Some fleas got in so we're going through that right now.
23:29 DaemonFC; I bought them some flea collars but it takes weeks or months for those to wipe out the infestation once they're in your house.
23:29 DaemonFC; I could go around pouring chemicals all over the carpet, but....
23:30 schestowitz[TR]; we don't let the catsiorsindo
23:30 schestowitz[TR]; and wash the hand profusely
