In 2021, the prediction was that retirements would increase over the next couple of years. It is happening and LWN is no exception. I am retiring at the end of this year after more than 20 years with LWN.
17:40 schestowitz; So who am I and how did I get here? To some, I'm a name at the bottom of some LWN page. To a few, I'm the one that reminds them when their LWN group subscription is about to expire. You might have even met me at a conference. Not that I have been to very many. Mostly I tend to be quietly in the background watching the LWN mailbox, looking for brief items and quotes of the week (sorry I haven't found much lately), proofreading articles, managing
17:40 schestowitz; subscriptions, and more. But I'm older than most of you and this is my last LWN weekly edition. Getting here is a bit of story.

19:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, WGN reports Biden will extend the moratorium on student loans until May. No relief.
19:05 DaemonFC; I replied:
19:05 DaemonFC; The people who voted for the guy who caused the student loan crisis, expecting the guy who started the student loan crisis to solve the student loan crisis.
19:05 DaemonFC; There's not a bag of beans worth of difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden on the student loans. Biden betrayed people who voted for him. Remember $10,000 in loan cancellation, and now it's just him refusing to do that and allowing people to go further into arrears while he says he wants payments to start again ASAP? Remember that? I do!
19:05 DaemonFC; Now, I don't have any student loans, but some do. People who live in the 10th circuit court of appeals states can actually file bankruptcy against student loans more easily because they ruled that section of the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform law that the Democrats have not repealed is unconstitutional and that bankruptcy judges can get rid of them without the person filing an adversarial motion. One more reason to leave Chicago... I hear that
19:06 DaemonFC; Albuquerque has better weather anyway.
19:06 DaemonFC; And your car won't rust! Anyway, you could have had student loan relief or you could have had Biden or Bloomberg or Buttgags, but most of you chose one of them instead of the man who would have done it. Sanders. So, a pox on you!

19:08 DaemonFC; He's an actual progressive candidate. He isn't corrupt. He respects the Second Amendment.
19:08 schestowitz-TR; and Sander is left there standing like a fool
19:08 schestowitz-TR; not even Warren will back him
19:08 DaemonFC; Where do you find that?
19:08 schestowitz-TR; because she wanted a cabinet position from Shiny Biden
19:09 DaemonFC; Then didn't get one.
19:09 DaemonFC; Because they don't want her.
19:09 DaemonFC; Charlie Baker would replace her with a Republican until a special election.

19:15 DaemonFC; What the House bill does is creates a dozen or so programs, most of them welfare, and then if you don't keep voting for Democrats all the time, they'll threaten that the Republicans will let all of those welfare programs expire.
19:15 DaemonFC; THen what will you do? Indeed. Since Lightfoot is destoying all of the jobs in Chicago.

19:18 DaemonFC; And we all know what happened after four years of Carter. It prompted a backlash that led to Republicans in the White House for 12 years.
19:19 DaemonFC; The Democrats only had influence on the federal government throughout because they had a lot of people living in blue states back then and that gave them an advantage in the House that they don't have now.
19:19 DaemonFC; New York, California, and Illinois all lost another seat and the Democrats responded by trying to stop loss it with Republican gerrymandering tactics, but they don't control enough states to do that with and guarantee a House majority.

23:08 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Eye doctor got more expensive.
23:08 AdmFubar; kind of a Carney show at the circus... where a sucker is born every minute..
23:08 DaemonFC; $72 for getting Mandy an exam on Monday.
23:08 DaemonFC; That's up from $60 at the same doctor in April.
23:08 DaemonFC; I needed an exam then.
23:08 DaemonFC; To save money, I only get us an eye exam every couple of years.
23:09 AdmFubar; ophthalmologist?
23:09 DaemonFC; Technically, it's been about 30 months for Mandy, which is also about how long it was between mine.
23:09 DaemonFC; Yeah.
23:09 AdmFubar; something specific you are getting checked for?
23:09 DaemonFC; I just get my prescription and walk right out and buy eyeglasses online.
23:10 DaemonFC; It's not even worth using the 20% Walmart employee discount in their vision center.
23:10 DaemonFC; 20% off a $300 pair of glasses. :P
23:10 DaemonFC; You can get two pairs with the same features (polycarbonate single vision lenses, and transitions coating) for $115 or so on EyeBuyDirect.
23:11 DaemonFC; So less than $60 a pair.
23:11 DaemonFC; Even if you go with two pairs with fairly pricey frames there, you still won't pay a quarter as much per pair as you would at Walmart.
23:11 DaemonFC; The truth is that eyeglasses just don't cost that much to make.
23:11 DaemonFC; It's a license to print money.
23:12 DaemonFC; They can sell them for $60 a pair and still make 6 times as much as it cost them to produce.
23:12 DaemonFC; But there's a MARISOL born every minute.
23:12 DaemonFC; Thousand dollar designer eyeglasses.
23:12 DaemonFC; :)

23:28 DaemonFC; Oh, maybe that's what he is, I don't know what he is.
23:28 DaemonFC; Walmart's usually the cheapest place to get an eye exam.
23:28 DaemonFC; Some stores offer "free exams" but if you don't pay for the exam, they don't have to give you your prescription.
23:28 DaemonFC; That way they make sure that you have to buy their glasses.
23:28 DaemonFC; And they're the really expensive ones, of course.
23:29 DaemonFC; It's like those bars that used to give everyone "free" lunch and they'd make it really salty so you couldn't get out of there without buying drinks.
23:29 DaemonFC; They're more than happy to waive a $70 exam if you'll buy a $900 pair of glasses.
23:30 DaemonFC; But if you pay for the exam, the law makes them give you your prescription in hard copy.
23:30 DaemonFC; They're not happy about it, but it is the law.
23:31 DaemonFC; They used to be fine with it because nobody sold prescription eyeglasses except other overpriced stores, so there was nowhere to take the prescription where you'd do much better.
23:32 DaemonFC; It's like sure here's your prescription, but you'll be back.

23:34 schestowitz-TR; linux LF?
23:34 schestowitz-TR; which is "concerned" about the community
23:34 DaemonFC; If they're really concerned for your safety, they could give you your PD to make sure you're getting lenses that are 100%.
23:34 schestowitz-TR; and pays for "research"
23:35 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's a cartel panicking that nobody wants their stinking $1,000 eyeglasses anymore, except with idiots like Maricel.
23:36 DaemonFC; You know, you can get a hell of a nice laptop for $1,000. A hell of a nice one.
23:36 DaemonFC; And on the other hand, here's this thing that's just a little piece of metal with some plastic in it. $10 to make.....
23:36 DaemonFC; And they want $1,000 for that too because it's medical.

23:48 DaemonFC; I don't get why they charge more to people who live in another county.
23:48 DaemonFC; Seems kind of dumb to me.
23:48 DaemonFC; I get out of state residents paying more. That's normal. But hardly anyone comes to Illinois to go to one of our universities anymore. More leave Illinois to go somewhere else and take up residence so that they can get the same degree for 1/3rd the price.
