00:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, $18.60 for a movie ticket.
00:42 DaemonFC; LOL
00:42 DaemonFC; Holy shit.
00:42 DaemonFC; That's priceless.
00:43 DaemonFC; Still $5 on Tuesday though.
00:43 DaemonFC; I booked tickets in advance to a vaccine-required show next week.
00:44 DaemonFC; We're already vaccinated and the theaters they do this in have "social distancing requirements" so they rope off certain sections.
00:45 DaemonFC; I don't see a downside. Half as many seats means half as many people can bring their stupid whining kids and show up and sit next to you smoking marijuana. And those people probably aren't vaccinated anyway.
00:46 DaemonFC; It says a lot that they're doing this though. They apparently know that their customers are skittish and ticket sales were probably down, so they can implement "vaccine only" sections to try to drum up business.
00:47 DaemonFC; The side effect though is that it puts all of the unvaccinated people in the same theater where they can pass it around.
00:48 DaemonFC; NPR says 73% of US cases are now the Omicron variant.
00:48 DaemonFC; Yeah, the vaccine did exactly what I predicted.
00:48 DaemonFC; It selectively breeds resistance.
00:48 DaemonFC; The one that escapes the vaccine "wins".

00:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I suppose if you're going to be in a crowded movie theater, it's better to be in the vaccine section, but they still make you agree to a waiver that says if you get COVID there, it was your fault.

00:55 DaemonFC; MinceR, It amuses me that cough drops have to have a "drug facts" label on them.
00:55 DaemonFC; The only thing they really have in them that works against a cough or sore throat is menthol.
00:56 DaemonFC; It's basically impossible to use so many cough drops that it would have an adverse health effect.
00:57 DaemonFC; "The Miami Herald reports that at least one passenger had more significant symptoms. According to the newspaper, James Johnson of Orlando attested that his aunt "started feeling very ill with a sore throat and an ear ache and later developed a strong cough. After testing positive for COVID-19, Johnson said she only received an oxygen and temperature check and were told that medical staff was too overwhelmed to monitor her more closely.""
00:57 DaemonFC; That sounds like the Best Vacation Ever.
00:57 DaemonFC; I'm so glad I spent $5,000 on something stupid instead, like food or rent.
00:58 DaemonFC; ""The cruise sailed with 95% of the onboard community fully vaccinated, and 98% of those who tested positive were fully vaccinated," according to Royal Caribbean. "

01:14 DaemonFC; The directions on cough drops say use one every 2 hours.
01:14 DaemonFC; When I get a sore throat, it's usually one cough drop after another.
01:16 DaemonFC; "There has been one reportTrusted Source of a man who experienced serious symptoms after eating 2 entire bags of menthol cough drops every day for 20 years. "
01:16 DaemonFC; "Luckily, his symptoms disappeared after he stopped eating menthol cough drops."
01:18 DaemonFC; "Only one caseTrusted Source of death from menthol poisoning has ever been reported in the medical literature. In this case, the man overdosed by inhalation of menthol while he was cleaning a peppermint factory. There are no known cases of death from overdosing on menthol from cough drops."
01:18 DaemonFC; MinceR, A very refreshing way to go.
01:19 DaemonFC; When the doctors and the FDA are finished, we'll be lucky if you can buy a cough drop when you get sick.
01:20 MinceR; :>

11:14 schestowitz-TR; let's focus on mono
11:14 schestowitz-TR; it's more important
11:14 schestowitz-TR; I have lots more to show
11:14 DaemonFC; Yeah, instead of sending the people using them to prison, let's worry about the guns themselves, even though they've already gotten machine guns by robbing military trains.
11:14 schestowitz-TR; and very destructive quotes
11:14 DaemonFC; Let's enhance the racist anti-white narrative of them all walking over the state line.
11:15 schestowitz-TR; calling out racists is not racist
11:15 schestowitz-TR; anyway, back to tech
11:15 DaemonFC; In one case, the gangs in Chicago even got M-79 grenade launchers off a train to go along with their military grade assault rifles.
11:16 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: you needlessly irritate some people
11:16 DaemonFC; They get what they want. I mean, it's not rocket science that you get what you want.
11:16 schestowitz-TR; in a non-political channel
11:16 DaemonFC; Not having a FOID card for a year didn't stop me from buying a gun. I could have bought one if I wanted to. The law doesn't stop people from doing anything.
11:17 DaemonFC; If you happen to get caught with the gun after you murder someone with it, they can add a misdemeanor to your murder docket.
11:17 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: if you want to talk about crime
11:17 schestowitz-TR; talk about the mono context
11:17 schestowitz-TR; Alex was in the docket yesterday afternoon in TX

11:18 schestowitz-TR; it's not a one-channel-cat5ch-all forum/channel
11:18 DaemonFC; Why don't they talk about felon with a firearm, which is already illegal. Very illegal.
11:18 schestowitz-TR; and crime in your town/state is off topic
11:18 DaemonFC; You know, most of those gang members, not their first rodeo.
11:19 DaemonFC; They don't want to talk about failed parenthood and the depravity of Democrat state politics.
11:19 DaemonFC; The leftists are just depraved and sick. I mean, Pritzker signed a Holocaust Expansion for Illinois in a state capitol with a shrine to Satan in it.
11:20 DaemonFC; A literal shrine to Satan just down the hall from where he signed the repeal of parental notification of abortions.
11:21 DaemonFC; You really can't make this up. So from the point of view of these people, "White people bad! White people baaad!" as they sign a genocide bill next to a Satanic Temple statue.
11:21 TR News; OK, finally they're canceling some events here. Our regime reckons it'll let the pot boil over until #xmas and then say "YAY! WE MADE IT! WELL DONE!" .... now go back home (lockdown).

11:26 schestowitz-TR; this is talked about in #boycottnovell already
11:26 DaemonFC; They apparently think that ruining the economy that generates tax revenues for Social Security and Medicare is how they keep their Social Security and Medicare bennies coming in.

11:27 schestowitz-TR; [09:18] <Techrights-sec> are no precautions being taken. I expect the US will hit 1M dead soon.
11:27 DaemonFC; We'll see how many of those old folks get by when those programs crash and burn because nobody young can get a decent job and pay taxes.
11:27 schestowitz-TR; talk about it in the other channels
11:27 schestowitz-TR; I'll respond there
11:27 schestowitz-TR; but here we need to focus on tech
11:27 schestowitz-TR; to keep s/n ratio under control
11:28 DaemonFC; The technology can't keep up with COVID.
11:28 DaemonFC; It wouldn't surprise me if those pills don't do much at all by the time Omicron is established and the pills are approved, if they ever did.
11:29 DaemonFC; Even getting rid of the safety protocols, we're still moving at the speed of government on this.
11:29 DaemonFC; They had the COVID vaccines developed more than 6 months before they went out. They already had a basic safety profile on them that was about as good as what they provided to the FDA when they DID finally go out.
11:30 DaemonFC; Trump was not happy that they didn't release the vaccine sooner. He wanted it as a pre-election thing. There would have been no way to tell they wouldn't end the pandemic while the voting was going on.

11:45 DaemonFC; Those lateral flow tests that apparently don't detect "Omicron" now were always twitchy.
11:45 DaemonFC; Elon Musk took 5 tests in a row on the same day and like 3 said negative and 2 said positive.
11:46 DaemonFC; The quick tests are probably leading to the spread of COVID by giving people lots of false negatives, and then they just get on the plane or go into the concert or whatever with their "results".

17:04 schestowitz-TR; 10...
17:04 schestowitz-TR; I want to first assess the efficacy
17:04 activelow; officially, traveling by train is not permitted anymore, without this crap, which requires a booster every 9month
17:04 schestowitz-TR; not companies commenting on their OWN products
17:05 schestowitz-TR; activelow: sounds like a violation

18:08 schestowitz-TR; the meters have become all electronic by now
18:08 schestowitz-TR; they won't last 20 years
18:08 schestowitz-TR; and repairing them would basically be swapping
18:08 MinceR; i bought a car ~2 years ago and it's better than anything else i've driven
18:08 schestowitz-TR; for a car 20 years old they would not have those parts manufactured anymore
18:08 MinceR; probably also better than anything i was a passenger in, too :>
18:09 schestowitz-TR; MinceR: do you have physical meters?
18:09 MinceR; also, i suspect analog gauges tend to be electronically driven too
18:09 schestowitz-TR; maybe in the past 20 years
18:09 MinceR; it has 2+2 analog gauges and a color LCD MID between them
18:09 schestowitz-TR; ok, so maybe still traditional
18:09 schestowitz-TR; infotainment is OK
18:10 schestowitz-TR; that's not connected to the rest
18:10 schestowitz-TR; though I heard in planes they changed this
18:10 MinceR; afaik the temperature gauges became electronically driven ages ago
18:10 MinceR; since the ideal temperature tends to vary and they don't want to scare drivers with that :>
18:10 schestowitz-TR; and now, as a passenger, you could leverage infotainment to take over the main computrer
18:10 schestowitz-TR; and crash the plane etc.
18:10 MinceR; probably not in mine
18:10 MinceR; the infotainment thing doesn't even seem to be connected to the MID
18:11 schestowitz-TR; I don'y get infotainment BS
18:11 schestowitz-TR; people have tablets and stuff
18:11 MinceR; i do get it
18:11 schestowitz-TR; in the car, infotainment cannot be detached
18:11 MinceR; since i've tried several methods of holding my phone in place for navigation and they all sucked
18:11 schestowitz-TR; so you pay for something only passengers would use, rarely
18:11 schestowitz-TR; they could instead make a docking bit
18:11 schestowitz-TR; with a charger
18:12 MinceR; i tried hooking into a grill and it tore the lamella out
18:12 MinceR; i tried sticking to the windshield with a suction cup with multiple phone holders and they all fell off

19:18 DaemonFC; $30 vs $72 after tax. Why are they charging so much less for electric toothbrush heads in the UK?
19:18 DaemonFC; Even after you convert it into USD, it saves you $42 over the next 3 years.
19:19 DaemonFC; Maybe more, if they decide to raise the price on us again.
19:19 DaemonFC; These things are so cheap to make, it's ridiculous.

19:20 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, Apparently, Brita in the rest of the world is a different company. The Germans sold off the name to Clorox for the US a long time ago and then when they realized how big of a market there is for water filters here, they decided to sell to us too, but they couldn't use Brita because they sold it to Clorox here.
19:21 DaemonFC; So they called them Mavea, and nobody knew what Mavea was, so the company pulled back out and if you bought a Mavea system you can't buy filters for it anymore in the US.
19:21 DaemonFC; Clorox keeps tweaking their water filters to work a little better, and now they have design patents.
19:22 DaemonFC; So if you buy "Brita compatible" water filters, they fit, they work, but they're like the old Brita filters from 20 years ago that got clogged with air bubbles and made you tap the filter to get it going again.
19:23 DaemonFC; So I buy the name brand filters because they have a patent on how not to clog up with air bubbles.

19:25 DaemonFC; Kind of like what happened recently at GitHub.

19:26 DaemonFC; It's inappropriate to even try to start a relationship, consensual, with someone at work.
19:26 DaemonFC; If you break up you still have to see each other every day.
19:26 DaemonFC; But sexual assault at work, and that's you know, particularly disgusting, and with an "Or I call immigration and tell them your employment has ended." threat on top.
19:27 DaemonFC; Then, as a runner up, Soule also sent a video of himself masturbating to another woman in the office at Bethesda.
19:28 DaemonFC; So it's hardly as if it's only one accuser. When they start piling up, they can't all be lying.

19:30 DaemonFC; Yeah, you get a "raise" and it's hush money.
19:30 DaemonFC; They have control over the payroll.
19:30 DaemonFC; They can just call it a merit raise.

19:31 DaemonFC; There was someone at Walmart of all places who was having sex with one of the assistant managers when I worked there.
19:31 schestowitz-TR; some of them put "social justice warriors" flairs in Reddit
19:31 DaemonFC; All of a sudden for no reason, she got a string of raises and was making 20% more than anyone else in the department.

19:32 DaemonFC; Then he stopped giving out any evaluations above a 2 to anyone else, which is the minimum required to keep your job and not get written up, so payroll wouldn't go over.
19:33 DaemonFC; Then after one cycle of everyone getting a 2, we started all getting a 3 again.
19:33 DaemonFC; So we all had to skip an inflation adjustment to give our pay to the woman he was fucking.

23:15 DaemonFC; November 15 2020 was the peak, and we're back.
23:15 DaemonFC; That was 2 weeks before they vaccinated the first person in Illinois.
23:16 DaemonFC; Now with most of the state fully vaccinated, we're back and ready to exceed the pre-vaccine peak.
23:17 DaemonFC; Over three times as many deaths on December 17 2020 vs December 17 2021 though.
23:17 DaemonFC; But that can't all be explained away by the vaccine.
23:17 DaemonFC; They know how to treat it better now if you end up in the hospital and they have drugs once you get there that can turn it around in a couple of days.
23:18 DaemonFC; They didn't have those last year.

23:29 schestowitz-TR; not all savers suffer
23:29 DaemonFC; You know, you take a guy working at Taco Bell.
23:29 DaemonFC; He makes $12 an hour, maybe.
23:29 schestowitz-TR; the oligarchs put it in wall street
23:29 schestowitz-TR; lobbied govs to print money
23:29 schestowitz-TR; look! wall street UP!
23:29 DaemonFC; He got conned into getting a worthless degree in Humanities from Communists of Lake County.
23:29 schestowitz-TR; [22:22] <techrights-news> US government: OK, we'll take another 5 trillion dollars (taxpayers' debt), print some more money, then pass it to corporations and oligarchs, dubbing that "job creation". Then we'll pretend to NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS INFLATION.
23:29 DaemonFC; Uh oh, that was $60,000 at 6% interest!
23:30 DaemonFC; Then he gets shot in a botched robbery and has to go to the hospital. Whoopsie. There was $50,000 from the hospital for removing the bullets and $12,000 from the ambulance company.
23:30 DaemonFC; Because of Obamacare.
23:30 DaemonFC; The dude had no healthcare even though we were told it was the "Affordable" Care Act.
23:31 schestowitz-TR; anyway, back to tech
23:31 schestowitz-TR; I'll clean rss feeds..
23:31 DaemonFC; So now two things happened and he'll be in $200,000 dollars debt (with interest), and then there's the credit cards, and then his landlord evicts him and sues.
23:31 DaemonFC; But 7% inflation is going to help him tremendously, Roy!
23:31 DaemonFC; Stallman says so!
23:31 DaemonFC; He quoted the GAIDS Foundation Grauniad.

23:33 DaemonFC; I told Stallman that inflation doesn't help people who can't pay their bills, only bankruptcy can do that.
23:33 DaemonFC; And if he wants to advocate for something, it should be a repeal of the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform and to go back to the 1978 Bankruptcy Act.
23:33 DaemonFC; The Democrats will never do it.
23:34 DaemonFC; They could get 100 Senators in there and they'd still leave you in student loan debt and unable to file bankruptcy.
23:34 DaemonFC; They'd figure out an excuse for why.

23:35 DaemonFC; Pocahontas was there when they had 60 Senators and didn't repeal the Bankruptcy Reform.
23:35 DaemonFC; What the fuck is her excuse?
23:35 DaemonFC; They also had 60 Senators and didn't bother to repeal DOMA on the way out, after they had lost the Senate anyway.
23:35 DaemonFC; Notice that?

23:36 DaemonFC; At the state level, the Democrats in Illinois are totally in control. They can pass anything they want to. They can even lose the votes of a third of their members and pass something.
23:36 DaemonFC; And override the governor.
23:36 DaemonFC; Who is also a Democrat.
23:37 DaemonFC; Guess what they did to solve homelessness and poverty and people eating out of the garbage in Chicago.
23:37 DaemonFC; Nothing.

23:37 DaemonFC; And then I saw them shit all over us with 60 Senators.
23:38 DaemonFC; And shit on everyone in Illinois with a greater than 3/5ths Majority in each chamber and every elected state office.
23:39 DaemonFC; About the only thing they have done on a social front is expand the Holocaust.
