00:36 TR Bot; CDC director tests positive for COVID-19, has mild symptoms | WGN-TV
00:36 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, mjg59_ be like "GET FIVE JABS!!!!".
00:36 DaemonFC; So far.
00:37 DaemonFC; Only $130 each jab after your free trial of COVID jabs expires.
00:37 DaemonFC; Plus the three or four sick days you have to take after each jab.
00:37 DaemonFC; And then get COVID anyway, probably.
00:46 DaemonFC; No wonder mjg59_ likes COVID vaccines.
00:46 DaemonFC; It's like some Norton trialware that comes on some sad Windows computer.
00:46 DaemonFC; You get 90 days free and then you have to "CLICK HERE TO BUY!!!"
00:48 DaemonFC; There are already like 12 new mutated strains descended from Omicron B.A.4 and B.A.5 and they haven't even gotten 10 million Americans vaccinated with that yet.
00:48 DaemonFC; Disaster.
00:49 DaemonFC; They'll never be able to even somewhat keep up because once everyone who is going to take the booster again does it, there's already 100 other things out there and what they got boosted for has disappeared.
00:52 DaemonFC; https://www.prevention.com/health/a41711182/bq1-bq11-omicron-subvariants/
00:52 TR Bot; What Are BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, the 'Troublesome' COVID Subvariants?
00:52 DaemonFC; Dr. Russo encourages people to test themselves if they develop symptoms of COVID-19 and actually isolate if the results are positive. People are in denial and ostrich mode with COVID, he says. But it is very much still out there.
00:52 DaemonFC; The news now wastes time again with Monkeypox.
00:52 DaemonFC; Blame the dirty gay men! 5 people have died in half a year!
00:56 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], So I figured up our "credit card points". We get about $750 a year off of them just paying the bills that come up anyway.
00:58 DaemonFC; I started using an "app" a while back that charges me my rent through PayPal, but lets me route it to a credit card. Discover/AmEx/Visa/MC doesn't code these as "cash advances", and the app takes a 2.5% fee for writing a check to your landlord. But PayPal comes up as a "bonus" category as 5% on at least one of my cards for about 9 months out of the year, which means everything including the 2.5% fee generates 5% cashback through the card's
00:58 DaemonFC; bonus scheme.
00:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 19.30 k/sec., IPFS upstream 118.91 average k/sec., average swarm size 112.65
01:01 DaemonFC; I end up with a net of $24.28 each month in net points in the end off having them cut a check to my landlord.
01:01 DaemonFC; If I can do it 9 months of the year, assuming the fees don't change, I can net $218.52 windfall just for paying rent.
01:02 DaemonFC; So $750-800 extra per year is wher I'm aiming for with the rent, utilities, car repairs, groceries, and gas.
01:03 DaemonFC; But may do more than that because those are the expenses I can estimate.
01:03 resistor; my estimate is 1.80/kWh for LNG, which is $50/Gallon petrol energy equivalent
01:03 DaemonFC; You don't have to do much for credit card points except structure how you pay the bills, and the IRS and state don't tax them.
01:04 resistor; however, for two weeks, i am still waiting for a confirmatino, that's the new price for this
01:04 resistor; for year 2024, i cannot rule out yet, LNG pricing up to 3euro/kWh, that's roughly $100/Gallon petrol as an equivalent
01:04 resistor; to put this into perspective
01:05 resistor; i had send the letter 2022/10/05 to financial department
01:08 resistor; well, yes, this nonsense is driving me mad for more than 3weeks now, thanks to this type of government
01:08 resistor; add this to the balance sheet, me driven mad for three weeks
01:11 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Wanna hear my mom's latest assertion? Some random person claiming to be a pharmacy worker (in the comment section) said that they were having to call a lot of ambulances out over reactions to COVID shots and that the news "didn't want to know about it because they said it may discourage people from getting the shots".
01:11 DaemonFC; This would be the worst conspiracy ever.
01:11 DaemonFC; It would require that the entire healthcare profession be in on it and part of the cover up.
01:12 DaemonFC; It also requires us to believe that the public wouldn't notice ambulances at the pharmacy all day long, including the retail workers at the store.

03:16 DaemonFC; AUSTIN, Texas , Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to a lawsuit filed by Siri & Glimstad LLP on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), the CDC has released the first set of data from its v-safe program. V-safe is a smartphone-based program created by CDC specifically for Covid-9 vaccines. It allows users to register and provide health check-ins after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine.
03:16 DaemonFC; A formal legal request for the v-safe data was submitted to the CDC in June 2021. After two lawsuits were filed on behalf of ICAN, and following months of legal wrangling, the CDC finally capitulated in a court order that required it to produce this data.
03:16 DaemonFC; [...]
03:16 DaemonFC; Out of the approximate 10 million v-safe users, 782,913 individuals, or over 7.7% of v-safe users, had a health event requiring medical attention, emergency room intervention, and/or hospitalization. Another 25% of v-safe users had an event that required them to miss school or work and/or prevented normal activities.
03:17 DaemonFC; There were also 71 million symptoms reported in the pre-populated fields. This is an average of more than 7 symptoms reported per v-safe user. Reported symptoms include, for example, over 4 million reports of joint pain. While around 2 million of these joint pain reports were mild, over 1.8 million were for moderate joint pain and over 400,000 were for severe joint pain. It is noted that v-safe includes data from less than 4 percent of
03:17 DaemonFC; individuals who received a Covid-19 vaccine in the United States.
03:17 DaemonFC; [...]
03:17 DaemonFC; The data also reflects a disproportionate amount of negative health impacts, including medical events, following the Moderna vaccine versus the Pfizer vaccine and shows a disproportionate number of negative events reported by women versus men.

03:57 DaemonFC; So we can set this aside.
03:58 DaemonFC; 48.3% went to Urgent Care, 15% went to the Emergency Room, and 9.6% were admitted into the hospital for the side effect.

05:03 TR Bot; Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional - Office for National Statistics
05:03 schestowitz[TR3]; so I can compare weeks, apples to apple
05:03 resistor; the difference is, with medical surgeries, doctors wash there hands for minutes, and don't touch any contaminated surfaces, and then put on their face mask
05:03 schestowitz[TR3]; *apples
05:04 resistor; that's when, face masks are effective
05:04 schestowitz[TR3]; that's not the same
05:04 schestowitz[TR3]; they touch tissues
05:04 resistor; a crowded subway station isn't a medical surgery facility
05:04 schestowitz[TR3]; droplets are not the same
05:04 schestowitz[TR3]; and I'd not go to subways or football matches
05:04 schestowitz[TR3]; too many people, very little space

05:05 resistor; i do appreciate however, at some spots the desinfection stations remained, to clean the hands, which i like to do when touching dirty shopping baskets
05:05 schestowitz[TR3]; wait till that escapes a lab accidentally
05:06 resistor; simply because, i am a germophobe, and find other people in supermarkts disgusting and don't want to touch anything there
05:06 schestowitz[TR3]; not only the baskets are dirty
05:06 schestowitz[TR3]; the packaging of products too
05:06 schestowitz[TR3]; shops are "dirty"
05:06 schestowitz[TR3]; many people, many germs
05:06 schestowitz[TR3]; use sanitisers
05:06 schestowitz[TR3]; while they still offer some

05:08 resistor; the real COVID test would have been this: the exact same germ, and doing nothing: no masks, no tests, no isolation nothing

05:08 schestowitz[TR3]; 83.4 years
05:08 schestowitz[TR3]; life expectancy, girls 2019/21
05:08 schestowitz[TR3]; that'll decrease

05:08 schestowitz[TR3]; as if does in uk and us
05:08 *horseface has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
05:08 resistor; i don't recommend this, of cause not, however, i consider most of the magic miracle tincture spook, and spit testing and whatnot
05:09 resistor; i don't know, that's like snake oil... believe in it, if it doesn't hurt, have fun
05:09 schestowitz[TR3]; I am downloading the database for germany
05:09 schestowitz[TR3]; gures
05:09 schestowitz[TR3]; won't take long, Id id this for 5 couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuntries before
05:09 schestowitz[TR3]; so can do this fast
05:10 resistor; the hospitalization rate, recently, increased, again, regardless of any vaccination and boosters and testing
05:10 schestowitz[TR3]; hmm... barrier network issues
05:10 schestowitz[TR3]; I don't trust the hospital figures
05:10 schestowitz[TR3]; but # of death certs
05:10 schestowitz[TR3]; for reason i mentioned before
05:10 schestowitz[TR3]; deash is death
05:10 resistor; life expectancy of woman is estimated with 100years
05:10 resistor; of those born in recent years
05:11 schestowitz[TR3]; they like to to tinker with underlying causes
05:11 schestowitz[TR3]; toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo make it seem like covid went away
05:11 schestowitz[TR3]; mostly by testing less
05:11 schestowitz[TR3]; if not forging docsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
05:12 schestowitz[TR3]; need to retsrttttttttttttttttttttttttttttting networking
05:12 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: the testing methodology itself was, invalid
05:12 schestowitz[TR3]; restarted
05:13 resistor; Master Elon reported it, he had sent four slime samples of his to labs: 2 positive, 2 negative... 50/50% chance...
05:14 resistor; someplace else, papaya fruit was sent into labs, to test for covid, similar result
05:14 TR News; "The Guardian informs me that Suella Braverman has resigned, stating...." gemini://malinfreeborn.com/gen/poliltical_stories.gmi
05:14 resistor; and this was lab-testing, not the spit-tests sold in grocery stores
05:15 resistor; i think a demarcation line was crossed, when they said: "test yourself, to remain save and protect your relatives"

05:20 resistor; meaning, those 95% whatever, that's criminal, even whan the vaccines were useful (which i cannot verify), the advertizing with 95% whatever is a CRIMINAL offense
05:21 resistor; in germany and elsewhere, even public TV supported this propaganda, suprise, shareholder-value
05:21 resistor; Biontech... they did that much research and investments, all their earnings, that's justified
05:22 resistor; except for the fact that this 95% percent advertizing was criminal
05:23 resistor; nonetheless, in germany "we have to be thankful to the immigrants (turkey) who invested and researched the vaccines", order of merit granted instead of police swatting them for prison time

05:33 schestowitz[TR3]; still studying this
05:33 schestowitz[TR3]; looks like 10%-20% increase i deaths
05:34 resistor; hospitals reported fears of bancruptcy
05:35 schestowitz[TR3]; proobably not lying
05:36 *schestowitz[TR3] has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
05:36 resistor; recently they complained, with higher LNG prices they couldn't hire more staff
05:37 resistor; however, i cannot pay 1.80/kWh for LNG, and i am not willing to, and too i insist they _confirm_ it this, time
05:37 resistor; hospitals pay only ~1% of that price for LNG
05:38 resistor; besides, my income too is 90% lower than average in "germany", and now they ask for 10x the "official" LNG price on my bill
05:38 resistor; and those 1.80Euro/kWh, that's NOT the top end yet, because whenever i lowered consumption, they did _not_ lower the rent i pay
05:39 resistor; if, if(!), they do this again as they did in the last 10years, for year 2024, then i will arrive at LNG 3Euro/kWh or more
05:40 resistor; currently, re-calculating this, into petrol prices at the petrol station, thats, ten(!), ~10Euro/liter
05:41 resistor; however, at the petrol station, they couldn't cheat as they do with my LNG bill, and they can't anymore, because this time, i demand a confirmation from the financial department of theirs
05:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], A lot of hospitals in Indiana were failing. It's why the Republicans dropped their "We're not expanding Medicaid." policy and went with "We just won't call it Medicaid in Indiana.".
05:42 resistor; and i even consider to bring them to court over this: FRAUD is a CRIMINAL offense, sentenced with 5years in prison AND compensation of damages
05:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], I went to court with the Indiana Medicaid office and kicked their asses pretty good back in 2011.
05:42 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: i already got _all_ required evidence for this, yet too, maybe i can catch one or another of those criminals
05:42 DaemonFC; The judge ended up striking down the part of the law we were in there about.
05:43 resistor; because, the financial department too, is obligated to fullfill their official duty, otherwise that's another illegal action ("Amtspflichtverletzung")
05:43 resistor; which will add up on their file nicely
05:43 DaemonFC; The state decided not to take it to a (state) appeals court and the Republicans changed the Indiana Medicaid law in their next session.
05:43 resistor; not sure yet, if i go to police station to file the case, or send it to court directly
05:44 DaemonFC; I got the letter in the mail and figured they were just denying my case again.
05:44 DaemonFC; Opened up the letter from the court and in big bold print it said: "THE DECISION IS FAVORABLE TO THE APPELLANT".
05:45 DaemonFC; It took me a few minutes to get past the "Did I just sue the state in one of its own courtrooms, and win?".
05:46 DaemonFC; Take it in. It's unlikely to happen twice in one life.
05:47 DaemonFC; The state almost always decides in favor of itself, especially when it's going to cost it money if it doesn't.
05:47 starstreak; linucks btw
05:47 DaemonFC; You almost have to get the case removed to federal court to have any chance of winning.

05:58 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, our grandparents ate meat, ate whatever they want, drove cars that spewed lead out the tailpipe and had no emissions system, much less one that cared if you were leaking some fuel vapor, and smoked 2-3 packs a day.
05:58 DaemonFC; Lived to be 90.
05:59 DaemonFC; The old gas tanks didn't HAVE an evaporative emissions system.
05:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 43.36 k/sec., IPFS upstream 108.75 average k/sec., average swarm size 107.20

06:09 DaemonFC; But I wasn't sure just how long they lasted until I read it.
06:10 DaemonFC; They're not as preserved as store bought, but they should last a month or two in the fridge. I go through them way faster than that.
06:10 schestowitz[TR3]; resistor: you are missing the point
06:11 schestowitz[TR3]; open the ODF file I made
06:11 DaemonFC; You should be able to get at least one big jar of fridge pickes each time you save the brine, so instead of paying them like $7-8 for another jar, you can make your own for $1.70.

06:12 schestowitz[TR3]; 107104
06:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], I've been looking to cut back in some weird ways lately. I noticed they have been raising the price of sliced pickles much faster than whole pickles with the same brine.
06:12 schestowitz[TR3]; 2017/2018
06:12 DaemonFC; So I just buy them whole in a big jar and cut them as needed .
06:13 DaemonFC; I recall reading that Walmart "made example of" Vlasic back in the 90s.
06:13 schestowitz[TR3]; you can buy cucumbers
06:13 DaemonFC; Walmart wanted a big display in the front of the store of _something_ that showed how cheap stuff was at Walmart.
06:14 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: i can view csv files easily, not ods
06:14 DaemonFC; So they forced Vlasic to sell them 5 gallon jars of whole pickles that could be put on a pallet and sold at $2.97 retail. Which was an insane price for Vlasic pickles, even in 1995-1996.
06:14 schestowitz[TR3]; they don't do csv
06:14 schestowitz[TR3]; the "c" is not comma
06:14 schestowitz[TR3]; they use semi-colons
06:14 DaemonFC; Vlasic complained that it made its moneu "on the cut" and was only profiting 3 cents per jar at the price Walmart wanted.
06:15 DaemonFC; And Walmart threatened them that they'd remove all Vlasic pickles from every store if they didn't give them the 5 gallon pickles at $2.97 retail.
06:15 resistor; tried to open that ods file with Vim, no luck; anyway, which point did i miss?
06:16 schestowitz[TR3]; de deaths by year:
06:16 schestowitz[TR3]; 2016910,90211.0% x 0.1
06:16 schestowitz[TR3]; 2017932,27211.3% x 0.1

06:16 schestowitz[TR3]; 20211,023,68712.3% x 0.1
06:16 DaemonFC; A man who used to work for Vlasic commented to the news about it that Walmart almost ruined them by saying "This is what Walmart's about. Vlasic's the number one brand of pickle in America and you can get a whole 5 gallon jar of them at $2.97!".
06:17 schestowitz[TR3]; 2022 figures not fully available yet
06:17 schestowitz[TR3]; will be interesting to see what happens 'after' [sic]
06:17 schestowitz[TR3]; maybe 13% of people dying each decade
06:17 schestowitz[TR3]; used to be 9%
06:17 DaemonFC; I bought a 0.62 gallon jar of Great Value Kosher Dills the other day, whole. $4.47
06:17 schestowitz[TR3]; we're meant to improve
06:17 DaemonFC; So that tells you something about pickle inflation.
06:17 schestowitz[TR3]; as medicine and surgeries improve
06:18 schestowitz[TR3]; but mortality goes up
06:18 schestowitz[TR3]; COVID-19 put that increase up by like 10-25%
06:18 schestowitz[TR3]; 25% in US
06:18 schestowitz[TR3]; for winter at least
06:18 schestowitz[TR3]; and yet pension age stays the same or increases
06:18 DaemonFC; That's the biggest jar they sell. It's not even 2/3rds of a gallon, and it's the store brand. $4.47.
06:19 schestowitz[TR3]; so you're a mule of megacorporations until death do "US" part
06:19 DaemonFC; Vlasic whole pickles are $6.24 for 80 ounces.
06:19 schestowitz[TR3]; DaemonFC: they got you in a bit of a pickle
06:19 schestowitz[TR3]; anyway, rather worrying how price increase
06:19 schestowitz[TR3]; it makes retirement hard
06:19 schestowitz[TR3]; they don't just make travel pricey
06:19 schestowitz[TR3]; but all the basic costs of livigng

06:20 schestowitz[TR3]; so now they fire many
06:20 schestowitz[TR3]; claim workers are "lazy" "quiet quitters"
06:20 schestowitz[TR3]; and "overstaffed" companies
06:20 schestowitz[TR3]; and then make it hard for people to retire easrly
06:20 schestowitz[TR3]; yet they cannot find jobs, either
06:21 schestowitz[TR3]; some people who retired years ago must reassess
06:21 DaemonFC; You would have to buy 8 jars to get the equivalent of those ones from 1995, and pay $49.92 to get as many pickles as they sold for $2.97 in 1995.
06:21 schestowitz[TR3]; because spendings soared, they can't make it till 65 when pension starts
06:21 DaemonFC; That means Vlasic whole pickles are now 16.8 times the price they were at Walmart in 1995.
06:22 DaemonFC; You could barely lift the damned jar into your cart.
06:22 DaemonFC; Do you know how many pickles are in a five gallon jar?
06:22 DaemonFC; They come in buckets now, Roy!
06:22 DaemonFC; And Walmart sold them for less than $3 back then.
06:22 DaemonFC; They tell us inflation is "mild".
06:22 DaemonFC; Like COVID, I guess.
06:23 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR3]> because spendings soared, they can't make it till 65 when pension starts
06:23 DaemonFC; Mom only barely did.
06:24 DaemonFC; And I don't know what the fuck she was on about "I can't afford to!". I said, "They KEEP over $2,000 every month you don't! That you will never get! That goes into some Catholic priest fucked a kid fund!".
06:24 DaemonFC; She was like, "RYAN!".
06:25 DaemonFC; I mean, so she gets her pension, works part time, and gets Social Security checks now. Still can't keep $20 in the bank.
06:25 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: in germany, population size both increased, and the population aged
06:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], Saw an article suggesting the Fed will accelerate rate hikes and become "more aggressive" due to "failure to slow inflation much".
06:26 resistor; the trend seems unusally steady
06:26 resistor; meaning, during a "pandemic" season i had expected it to fluctuate a little more with higher fatality and then a drop
06:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], Someone just got shot down the block.
06:28 resistor; the unusual years seem to be 2018 (winter season, reported as deadliest pandemic), during lockdown fatality remained on average, and 2021 it spiked
06:29 DaemonFC; Really loud argument followed by gunshots and screaming.
06:29 resistor; almost 90000 more deaths per year than average last year
06:29 DaemonFC; I'm sure whatever they got shot over was worth being shot.
06:29 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: not sure what the point was, and how those 90000 were explained, because in 2021 vaccination supposedly lowered fatality
06:30 DaemonFC; Anyway, yes schestowitz[TR3], cucumbers are still cheap.
06:30 DaemonFC; So why are pickles getting so expensive?
06:31 DaemonFC; It's basically cucumber, salt, vinegar, a few spices, and a glass jar.

06:33 TR Bot; Easy Refrigerator Pickles Recipe: How to Make It
06:33 schestowitz[TR3]; I said earlier
06:33 schestowitz[TR3]; buy cucumbers
06:33 schestowitz[TR3]; with brne they last long
06:33 schestowitz[TR3]; so you cannot get them discounted
06:33 schestowitz[TR3]; You CAN find bargain cucumbers
06:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], Walmart gives me a 10% employee discount on fresh cucumbers!
06:34 DaemonFC; AND.....EVERY SPICE on this list.
06:34 DaemonFC; Spice and vinegar counts too (not all groceries do).
06:34 DaemonFC; No discount on pickles.
06:34 DaemonFC; But I already have these spices because I make so many recipes and have leftover spices.
06:35 DaemonFC; So at this point, the spices are a sunk cost and all it costs me are cucumbers and vinegar.
06:35 starstreak; Just do what Roy does and travel back in time to 2010, where he gets his software. Same place to get cucumbers cheap.

06:58 schestowitz[TR3]; what is retirement age in us, 67?
06:58 DaemonFC; Next time they shut this place down, I might join them at the state capitol building!
06:59 DaemonFC; Full or "reduced benefits"?
06:59 schestowitz[TR3]; they give you, on average, like half a decade to "enjoy" your final deterioration
06:59 schestowitz[TR3]; how joyful
06:59 DaemonFC; You can retire at full benefits at my age group at 67, but you get increased benefits up through 70.
06:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 10.25 k/sec., IPFS upstream 98.05 average k/sec., average swarm size 103.98
06:59 DaemonFC; You can retire with reduced benefits at 62.
06:59 DaemonFC; It goes up every month you wait.
06:59 DaemonFC; Many people have to take the hit though because it's that or no money at all.
07:00 DaemonFC; Mom's was 66, and she took it at 65.
07:00 DaemonFC; The Catholic Church lied and froze the amount her pension grew.
07:00 DaemonFC; So to get more Social Security, she'd have to let the Catholic church keep over $25,000 worth of her pension checks.
07:01 DaemonFC; Why wait?
07:01 DaemonFC; I ran some numbers assuming she'd live to be 75, 80, 85, 90, etc.
07:02 DaemonFC; She'd have to live to be 93 or something to make up for it being worth allowing the church to keep the money.
07:02 DaemonFC; So, statistically, that might happen, but....
07:02 DaemonFC; I mean, her mother is 93 and in the nursing home.
07:02 DaemonFC; If it does cost mom anything on net, it won't be more than hundreds of dollars...over the rest of her life.
07:02 DaemonFC; Not worth waiting.
07:03 DaemonFC; And she'd have to wait to be 93 to see that extra money.
07:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], The Archdiocese office "pledged" to keep the pensions going to her for 20 years.
07:04 DaemonFC; So if she lives past 85 and 2 months, then who knows? Or they could be lying again and take them away next month.
07:04 DaemonFC; That's the Catholics for you.
07:04 DaemonFC; They're a "church" so they don't have their pension taken over by the feds if it goes under.
07:05 DaemonFC; They just file bankruptcy and mom's retirement income gets cut in half.
07:06 schestowitz[TR3]; if they cannot take away people's pension
07:07 schestowitz[TR3]; they can work to tacitly shorten people's lives
07:07 schestowitz[TR3]; one way is to screw health care
07:07 schestowitz[TR3]; and then the pension companies need to cater for fewer people
07:07 DaemonFC; Yeah.
07:07 schestowitz[TR3]; one way toi "balance the books"
07:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], I'm on more meds these days.
07:07 schestowitz[TR3]; nobody talks about how covid-19 was a godsend to pension companies
07:07 DaemonFC; Crestor and Irbesartan.
07:08 schestowitz[TR3]; many in retirement age groups die by the millions
07:08 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], A godsend to Social Security. Even if it really was "just" 1.1 million old people that bit the dust....
07:09 schestowitz[TR3]; no, you need to check totals
07:09 DaemonFC; Plus, Social Security gets in when they get a death report and yanks the last month's check out of the bank account.
07:09 schestowitz[TR3]; some people survive the virus
07:09 schestowitz[TR3]; but die later

07:13 DaemonFC; Then he tested positive again and goes back to quarantine.

07:13 DaemonFC; They'll pull out every stop we have to save him.
07:13 DaemonFC; Not the same for everyone else.
07:14 DaemonFC; You have to go begging for Paxlovid. They just give him two rounds of it back to back.

07:24 DaemonFC; heh, there were 80,000 less marriages in 2009 than 2008.
07:24 schestowitz[TR3]; so births fellt in the US by about 15%
07:24 schestowitz[TR3]; in 5-year period
07:24 schestowitz[TR3]; last year just 3 million births

07:25 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], Actually, I was reading about a sharp increase in the infant mortality rate.
07:26 DaemonFC; They said it's up like 40% or something since 2008.
07:26 DaemonFC; 2018.
07:26 DaemonFC; Rather.
07:26 DaemonFC; Mostly blacks.
07:26 DaemonFC; 25% of all miscarriages might be COVID-related.
07:26 schestowitz[TR3]; it does not present mortality per births

07:31 DaemonFC; "This wasnt the first time the lab revolutionized the pickle industry. For instance, John L. Etchells, the labs research leader from 1937 to 1975, improved the pickle fermentation process and reduced spoilage by such a significant amount that pickles became so much less expensive dill pickle slices became a standard accompaniment on hamburgers in restaurants everywhere, and today, they are 25 percent of the pickle market."
07:31 DaemonFC; I didn't realize that pickles on a hamburger wasn't standard until the late 1970s due to spoilage losses.
07:31 schestowitz[TR3]; number of births was so small in jan 2021
07:32 DaemonFC; Yeah, little bit of a coincidence that the Supreme Court knocked over Roe just when the birth rate collapsed, huh?
07:32 schestowitz[TR3]; and infant mortality massive
07:32 DaemonFC; Corporate America was probably behind that. Screaming that without 2.4 unemployed people per job opening, they'd never keep the wages down.

08:27 schestowitz[TR3]; DrPizzaGates
08:27 resistor; meanwhile, i found a document from german-railway, which described what caused the _global_ outage in their digital-radio system
08:27 schestowitz[TR3]; "he knew lots of rich people"
08:27 schestowitz[TR3]; "well, he's dead"
08:27 *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@22agg6qj8dxhg.irc) has joined #techrights
08:28 resistor; it's a master-piece of art, representative for the entire era of technology since 1990s
08:29 schestowitz[TR3]; mainpiece of art
08:29 resistor; and i don't consider the act of "sabotage" against GSM-R digital radio the problem, the GSM-R design itself is an act of sabotage
08:29 resistor; and "EU" "improved" upon this further, with their ETCS compliance level 2 for european railway integration
08:30 resistor; meaning, at this level, if the GSM-R modem of the train looses the connection the train halts
08:31 resistor; and there's several use-cases for GSM-R, including ordinary voice-calls and conference calls, which is critical enough
08:31 resistor; and too GSM-R at ETCS compliance level 2 attaches the train itself for signalling/control somehow
08:32 resistor; yet, for this, some particular components lack sufficient fail-over switching and redundancy, and guarantees for this
08:32 resistor; there is many design-problems with this, meaning the sabotage had not been necessary anyway
08:33 resistor; furthermore, even without an act of sabotage involved, it's remarkable this GSM-R and ETCS system is rolled-out for almost 20years already, and roll-out not yet finished in EU
08:34 resistor; in year 2030 it's scheduled for deprecation again... with "future railway monitor controling system" (FRCMS), based on 5G
08:34 resistor; however, 5G is mostly a marketing label, and fundemental design-aspects of this are almost identical to GSM-R
08:35 resistor; for example, with GSM-R they moved to "packet-switched data" already, and the mobile signaling with 5G is similar too
08:35 resistor; seems to me, those talking and deciding, have absolutely no clue about the most basic telekom engineering aspects
08:36 *roy is now known as tr2
08:36 resistor; and the argument it was "sabotage" at fault, is a distraction from the problems involved
08:37 schestowitz[TR3]; DaemonFC: I checked the linus url
08:37 schestowitz[TR3]; that was a message from august
08:38 resistor; however, politics here were excited, to perpetuate the "sabotage" narrative, even when the design and implementation of GSM-R itself is that problematic, this didn't require sabotage anymore
08:38 schestowitz[TR3]; thought it was maybe newer despite the old version number
08:38 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: german railway had NOT yet answered to my letter of intent and application documents, 10days passed
08:40 schestowitz[TR3]; yolu are too opinionated
08:40 schestowitz[TR3]; not submissive
08:41 schestowitz[TR3]; they don't wanr that
08:41 schestowitz[TR3]; *want
08:41 schestowitz[TR3]; they want dumb, obsedient workers
08:41 resistor; which is remarkable for a very specific reason too, because i asked some very specific question already, which i bet they couldn't find any candidate among thousands
08:41 schestowitz[TR3]; brb, recording a gemini video
08:43 resistor; too i was honest to them, saying i do need training and studies of the technical details of this, and was willing to
08:44 resistor; there's still some time remaining, yet not much, because they may have another problem soon enough (depends, don't know the internals of german railway)
08:44 resistor; which is, supply chains and vendors of _old_ gear (not outdated, it's still standards compliant and operational), those supply chains and vendors vanish
08:45 resistor; engineers disappear, and too capable management staff (me)
08:46 resistor; furthermore, the European Railway Management System contains some subsystem, which i suspect is covered by what a sub-contracter of railway is involved which (where i applied)
08:46 resistor; and they chose, as usual, and many others do, JEE based software-stack (outside the core-critical signaling), it's the logistics/planning side
08:47 resistor; and there, i fear, most modern software-technology simply does not pass _minimum_ acceptance criteria
08:47 resistor; meaning then, if a giant/complex graph of interdependent software-components are introduced, i fear this cannot be detangled from more critical components
08:48 resistor; the older gear utilized in railway system, didn't have this problem at the scale today
08:50 resistor; although, i don't consider DOS (and other stuff from that era), how should i say, perfect, how should i say, i am more afraid about other things
08:53 resistor; few days ago, a ministerial CEO of ministry of the interior ("cyber security" whatever), had to resign over affiliation with Russian security agencies
08:53 resistor; they say, it may have been Russians who "sabotaged" railway
08:54 resistor; it is interesting still, Russia didn't choose GSM-R/ETCS... they chose another system
08:54 schestowitz[TR3]; resistor: serious question:
08:54 schestowitz[TR3]; did you become so edgy AFTER you lost that DT job
08:54 schestowitz[TR3]; or was it reason for dismissal?
08:55 resistor; i quit
08:55 schestowitz[TR3]; I want to know which came first
08:55 schestowitz[TR3]; why did you quit?
08:55 resistor; many reasons
08:55 schestowitz[TR3]; how many years ago was it?
08:55 resistor; first, let me dig out the contract, which is an insult to any intact intellect; i am glad i still got that
08:55 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: 17years ago, they never bothered to ask
08:56 schestowitz[TR3]; did you become so fervently adf-like before or after quitting?
08:56 schestowitz[TR3]; there is thissss stigma about homeless doing drugs and being drunk
08:56 schestowitz[TR3]; but that often comes after becoming homeless
08:56 schestowitz[TR3]; and due to poverty
08:56 schestowitz[TR3]; you will find it hard to find employment now
08:56 schestowitz[TR3]; they put you on lists for sure
08:57 resistor; and i got a hitlist too
08:57 schestowitz[TR3]; employment lists do exist
08:57 schestowitz[TR3]; but governments don't publicly speak about those
08:57 resistor; i collected sufficient evidence for 17years now, including a balance sheet for this
08:58 resistor; and something else, i fear i may not be able to help them anymore
08:58 resistor; i mean, cutting cables in half to prove a point, that's not my field of expertise
08:58 resistor; yet, the damage they have done elsewhere, that's incomprehensible
08:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 48.03 k/sec., IPFS upstream 98.90 average k/sec., average swarm size 111.83
08:59 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: you can't just train competent telko staff in a few weeks
08:59 schestowitz[TR3]; or any technical staff
08:59 schestowitz[TR3]; can take years
08:59 schestowitz[TR3]; even decades
08:59 resistor; and the supply chains and vendors of some specific gear already do vanish
09:00 resistor; schestowitz[TR3]: analog electronics for example, thats decades of studies and expertise required
09:00 resistor; and none of my fields of expertise either
09:00 resistor; besides, there is many other technical layers
09:00 resistor; in telko protocol stacks
09:00 resistor; besides competent management required
09:01 resistor; to my understanding, they tried to replace the deprecated system for almost 20years already

19:05 MinceR; it was called "testing"
19:06 reptilian_thrills; one of the great things about open farce is that testing is a bottleneck that you can have fanboys do for you
19:06 MinceR; i think that stopped working as well

21:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR3], So, I found some more context to the "V-SAFE" data.
21:01 DaemonFC; The thing followed people and asked them to report if they went for medical attention over like, the next year.
21:01 DaemonFC; So if we take the 1.86% that ended up in the ER or Hospital and figure some would have had to go during that year anyway.....
21:01 DaemonFC; That takes the "vaccine-caused" admissions down.
21:02 schestowitz[TR3]; I don't quite follow
21:02 schestowitz[TR3]; but either way, covid survivors are liekyl suffering a lot
21:02 DaemonFC; Many people end up in the hospital for things that aren't COVID. If you take a COVID shot and 6 months later you go to the hospital for a heart attack, some people would have had that heart attack and gone to the hospital, but it ends up in VSAFE because they reported they went to the hospital that day.
21:02 schestowitz[TR3]; more than people who felyt ill for a few days because of the low-quality products
21:03 DaemonFC; My guess is it's probably about 1%, if that, who actually had a severe reaction to the vaccine. The CDC has thrown out figures ranging from 1 in 250 to 1 in 1000.
21:03 schestowitz[TR3]; \heh. maybe in the us more people got covid than got a jab

21:24 DaemonFC; I can really see why people are finished with the Democrats.
21:24 DaemonFC; They're trawling a bunch of tatted up headbangers that are stoned and shooting each other for votes.
21:26 DaemonFC; And as long as they keep winning elections, Illinois will keep repealing the justice system a piece at a time while the level of death, destruction, disorder, and chaos intensifies.
21:27 schestowitz[TR3]; and back to tech now
21:30 DaemonFC; Nate Silver is doing exactly what he always does. First he says the Democrats have an 80% chance. Then as things draw closer, it starts plummetting. Eventually, when the election happens and they get thumped, he goes "I never said it was impossible.".
21:30 DaemonFC; Amazing that the New York Times still props this guy up. This is like the news prognosticating the collapse of China every day for 70 years.
21:31 DaemonFC; He spent the last several months saying the Democrats were polling great because "kill your baby kill your baby kill your baby" and now they're down to 55% chance of a Senate majority and 20% in the House.
21:32 DaemonFC; And I doubt his projection of _state_ elections are any better.
21:32 schestowitz[TR3]; off topic
21:32 schestowitz[TR3]; even if you ranted about another party
21:32 DaemonFC; Those Pritzker +15 or +17 polls all come straight out of the Pritzker campaign. They're designed to make it look pointless for Republicans to even vote.

22:42 DaemonFC; You know?
22:43 DaemonFC; It shows you, really, how out of touch these executives are. The economy is fucking terrible and they spend money on NFTs and metaverses and other buzzwords that have already ran their course to distract from the fact that they got away from their core (and actual) business and have pissed customers off big time.
22:44 DaemonFC; They need to put their nose to the grindstone, dump this shit now, and figure out how to do everything that they can to put a lid on PRICES of groceries, socks, and cat litter.
