00:50 reptilian_thrills; which is better, the free sweatshop foundation, or the open sweatshop initiative

00:50 reptilian_thrills; both make it so corporations have to hire fewer people and get more labour for free

00:50 reptilian_thrills; making software development another sweatshop per average employee

00:51 reptilian_thrills; one might as well have intended to (osi) and other was taken over (fsf)

00:51 reptilian_thrills; people volunteer to write code for free though <- under different circumstances they did

00:51 reptilian_thrills; but under these circumstances, theyre just working for corporations for free

00:51 reptilian_thrills; not for freedom

00:51 reptilian_thrills; they dont have the 4 freedoms, so theyre being tricked into working for corporations for free

00:52 reptilian_thrills; you agreed to work for nn under other conditions

00:52 reptilian_thrills; then when you realised you were being cheated, you said so

00:52 reptilian_thrills; how is my argument different?

00:53 reptilian_thrills; theyre writing software that doesnt have the 4 freedoms. they should be paid like theyre writing software the corporations control, because the corporations do

00:53 MinceR; how are they tricked into it?

00:54 reptilian_thrills; <MinceR> how are they tricked into it? <- theyre being told theyre writing software for the public good

00:54 reptilian_thrills; software that the public has 4 freedoms (free software)

00:54 reptilian_thrills; but its really controlled by corporations

00:54 reptilian_thrills; its not really free, so theyre really doing work that mostly benefits corporations

00:54 reptilian_thrills; in the long run

00:54 reptilian_thrills; in the short run, everybody gets a copy, yay!

00:55 reptilian_thrills; in the long run, everybody gets decades of work co-opted

00:55 reptilian_thrills; not yay

00:55 reptilian_thrills; if youre working to co-opt the free software movement, but under the pretense of writing free software for humanity...

00:56 reptilian_thrills; this is false pretenses and exploitation, and youre really working for corporations

00:56 reptilian_thrills; you should be paid accordingly

00:56 reptilian_thrills; instead, microsoft controls linux, ibm controls gcc, the free software movemennt was MOSTLY to help microsoft and ibm

00:56 reptilian_thrills; and both corporations get free labour under false pretenses

00:56 reptilian_thrills; theres a word for that: sweatshops.

00:57 reptilian_thrills; so like i said, which is better: the free sweatshop foundation, or the open sweatshop initiative?

00:57 reptilian_thrills; osi has a longer legacy of promoting sweatshop labour, so its "better" in THAT regard

00:57 reptilian_thrills; the fsf has only been doing this since the takeover. or since 2014. when they were arguably taken over.

00:57 reptilian_thrills; or whatever date you like.

00:58 reptilian_thrills; but 2019 at the latest

00:58 reptilian_thrills; is it possible to write free software thats really free?

00:58 reptilian_thrills; sure. but it rarely happens

00:58 reptilian_thrills; most projects get usurped by corporations who dont care about freedom

00:58 reptilian_thrills; so again-- whats the point, other than turning software into another sweatshop industry?

00:59 reptilian_thrills; (i mean microsoft was making huge progress with that in india years ago)

1 AM, October 28

01:00 reptilian_thrills; hell, techrights has written loads about this, but usually pronounces "free software" as "european patent office" (fair enough)

01:00 MinceR; the fsf has a better past and a more useful website

01:03 *reptilian_thrills has quit (connection closed)

01:09 *reptilian_thrills (~reptilian_thrills@nyz5m6yyucqxq.irc) has joined #techrights

01:10 reptilian_thrills; if corporations are going usurp free software communities, they should have to pay those involved like employees

01:11 reptilian_thrills; hopefully this would lead to them leaving free software alone rather than trying to control it

01:11 reptilian_thrills; as it wouldnt save them any money

01:11 reptilian_thrills; theres no legal way to enforce this, the legal system is rigged to exploit practically everyone

01:12 reptilian_thrills; abolishing corporations seems like a reasonable solution if anybody can think of a way to do that instead

01:13 reptilian_thrills; there are legal limits on unpaid interns

01:13 reptilian_thrills; but not in free software, afaik

01:13 reptilian_thrills; so free software is just a giant loophole that no one is willing to clos

01:14 reptilian_thrills; i think its important, i think the movement should be rebuilt

01:14 reptilian_thrills; but if its not going to fight corporate takeover it might as well put a gun in its mouth and oh, it already did

02:49 starstreak; so if a lawyer has a nazi as a client, the lawyer is a nazi?

02:50 reptilian_thrills; that depends on whether the lawyer comes up with the entire plan for the holocaust or no

02:50 XRevan86; ~Collaborator~

02:50 reptilian_thrills; if they do, then absolutely

02:50 reptilian_thrills; according to black, ibm is responsible for the plan to kill millions

02:50 reptilian_thrills; without ibm it would not have been possible

02:51 starstreak; that seems dubious

02:51 reptilian_thrills; i am not going to call people holocaust deniers for giving me evidence black is wrong

02:51 starstreak; i dont think ibm would have gone along with it if they knew they were killing people

02:51 reptilian_thrills; blacks claims are extraordinary

02:51 reptilian_thrills; they seem to have merit imo

02:51 reptilian_thrills; i dont think ibm would have gone along with it if they knew they were killing people <- why not? what makes ibm care about people?

02:51 reptilian_thrills; you know they pay families off to not blame them

02:52 reptilian_thrills; they have never apologised

02:52 reptilian_thrills; its one of the conditions of the payment

02:52 reptilian_thrills; lots of other companies apologised-- but not ibm

02:53 reptilian_thrills; in that time period, lots of people were OPENLY supportive of hitler

02:53 reptilian_thrills; henry ford, who was good friends with thomas edison

02:53 reptilian_thrills; people believed in eugenics,

02:53 reptilian_thrills; they were basically like dfc

02:54 reptilian_thrills; but not ibm! they were just really nice people.

02:54 reptilian_thrills; nicer than the public by far

02:54 reptilian_thrills; why would ibm be so much nicer than society itself?

04:03 DaemonFC; There really isn't a stable currency you can grab at right now.

04:03 DaemonFC; The US Treasury sold more I series savings bonds in the past week than they normally do in a year.

04:04 DaemonFC; They also said they had 3.8 million new accounts in the past year, where there'd only been about 2.6 million accounts created between 2010 and 12 months ago, inclusive.

04:04 DaemonFC; People are hoarding savings bonds.

04:06 DaemonFC; "Palmer Luckey, founder of VR headset maker Oculus, which then-Facebook acquired in 2014, is among many industry observers unimpressed with the companys main metaverse offering, Horizon Worlds. I dont think its a good productIts not good, its not fun, he said this week at the Wall Street Journals Tech Live conference, likening it to a project car hobby one ultimately loses money on after significant investments.

04:06 DaemonFC; (Luckey was ousted from Facebook a few years after it acquired his startup._"

07:41 resistor; because twitter is only a small business, almost irelevant, and there is many others to question: Netflix, FB, google, etc. etc.

07:41 schestowitz[TR3]; twitter barely even made a dime

07:41 schestowitz[TR3]; it did for 2 or 3 quarters

07:41 resistor; Banks offloaded that much shitcoins onto this, if something busts, that's apocalypse for US finance system

07:41 schestowitz[TR3]; out of like 60 quarters

07:42 reptilian_thrills; now it wont have to

07:42 reptilian_thrills; it can be a pet project for someone who can do the financial equivalent of finding loose change in the sofa

07:42 schestowitz[TR3]; musk will be to twitter was andrew lee become to freenode

07:42 schestowitz[TR3]; or trump to "truth social"

07:42 reptilian_thrills; then tossing it at twitter every year or two

07:42 phanes; nah schestowitz[TR3] gotta think of where that money went

07:42 phanes; it's no longer at twitter because twitter was aquired

07:42 phanes; everybody got out

07:42 reptilian_thrills; musk will be to twitter was andrew lee become to freenode <- someones never heard "a quantity becomes a quality" before

07:43 phanes; if twitter vaporizes tomorrow that money will still be in circulation

07:43 schestowitz[TR3]; what is money anyway?

07:43 reptilian_thrills; you make the same arguments for billionaires you do for millionaires

07:43 reptilian_thrills; its like the making the same arguments for aluminum and plutonium

07:43 reptilian_thrills; they dont work the same way

07:43 phanes; yeah its gonna be freenode 2.0 but musk is a little smarter than lee

07:43 phanes; not much though lol

07:44 reptilian_thrills; what is money anyway? <- a relic

07:45 reptilian_thrills; musk could

07:45 phanes; huh? it would take like 10k to restore freenode to its former glory even today

07:45 reptilian_thrills; its not like dorsey is some genius who was the magic behind twitter

07:45 reptilian_thrills; let me put it another way

07:45 reptilian_thrills; if YOU had musks money, YOU could run twitter for another 20 years

07:45 TR News; Companies like to buy [sic] other companies only to pretend to be big (to fool shareholders). They sell massively overpriced shares and then hire the staff. No money changing hands.

07:46 reptilian_thrills; so why cant musk? answer: no reason whatsoever

07:46 phanes; reptilian_thrills, sure, but neither i nor musk want to

07:46 reptilian_thrills; i dont even think musk should exist

07:47 reptilian_thrills; no one should be that rich

07:47 phanes; uhm, ya know what, i should be buying put options to bet against twitter like NOW

07:47 reptilian_thrills; but that doesnt change the fact that he does

07:47 reptilian_thrills; i dont even think musk should exist <- not in his 10 ten richest state

07:47 phanes; well also bear in mind that musk is in deep in twitter

07:47 reptilian_thrills; as a person, whatever

07:47 phanes; if this tanks and he doesn't pull out he's washed out

07:47 reptilian_thrills; but not like this

07:50 reptilian_thrills; i hope red hat paid the fuck out of him

07:50 phanes; like no joke you and I could pick a language, not even a great one for the use case, and knock out a twitter clone that's scalable in like 3 months

07:50 phanes; where they're going to fail is governance and politics

07:51 phanes; the tech is easy

07:51 reptilian_thrills; when you think something sucks you announce its demise

07:51 reptilian_thrills; this is invariably the pattern

07:51 reptilian_thrills; yet debian sucks and its still here

07:51 phanes; i think debian sucks and haven't announced its demise

07:51 phanes; debian will probably outlive me

07:52 reptilian_thrills; by your logic, debian should be dead

07:52 phanes; no

07:52 reptilian_thrills; gnome should not have survived gnome 3

07:52 phanes; that's not my logic

07:52 reptilian_thrills; why do these things die (they dont) when they suck?

07:53 reptilian_thrills; twitter has always sucked, why did it ever exist?

07:53 phanes; whatever conversation you are having, you are somehow having with me and also separately with yourself at the same time.

07:53 reptilian_thrills; its almost like being good isnt what makes them work in the first place

07:53 reptilian_thrills; and being bad has little to do with why they go away

07:53 reptilian_thrills; that fits the pattern (the data) better

07:53 phanes; sounds like you're arguing with things no one said so you can feel knowledgeable

07:54 reptilian_thrills; you got a phd in applied statistics (called something else though)

14:44 schestowitz[TR3]; psydruid: did you do that?

14:44 psydruid; yes

14:45 schestowitz[TR3]; when we stufdied assemble we did 8- and 16-bit

14:45 psydruid; from arm to risc-v and power

14:45 schestowitz[TR3]; that was 22 yesrs ago

14:45 schestowitz[TR3]; *Assembly

14:45 psydruid; from 2 years ago till now

14:45 psydruid; the first time was from x86 to arm

14:45 schestowitz[TR3]; maybe michael will fall in love with arm when they shill "protected content"

14:45 psydruid; all 64-bit

14:46 schestowitz[TR3]; secured [sic] from the trustzone

14:46 schestowitz[TR3]; for education 64-bit is hard

14:46 schestowitz[TR3]; like doing bubblesort with long instruction sets

14:46 schestowitz[TR3]; processors in general are a mess now

14:46 schestowitz[TR3]; very hard tro master

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; predictive computations

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; and caching

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; and many other factors

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; so lots of defective chips

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; in a 12-month period the same research groups can find like 20 flaws

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; in pairs or triplets at the time

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; and then the "fixes" further clutter the now-inelegant designs

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; like lots of duct tape

14:47 schestowitz[TR3]; in microcode

14:48 schestowitz[TR3]; because the silicon is one heck of a cluster*ck

14:48 schestowitz[TR3]; better to go to simple cores

14:48 schestowitz[TR3]; and make more of them

14:48 schestowitz[TR3]; and make sofwtare less "fat"

14:48 schestowitz[TR3]; instead of cushioning fat software with more gates and transitors

14:49 schestowitz[TR3]; if we could fly to the moon with very few megabytes, why not now?

14:49 psydruid; many of the instruction set extensions are just meant for evergreening patents rather than for enabling more efficient processing

14:49 schestowitz[TR3]; yeah, that's another facet

14:49 psydruid; like intel enabling avx-512 and then disabling it again

14:49 schestowitz[TR3]; 20-year expiry windows

14:49 schestowitz[TR3]; multimedia codecs are like that too

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; MPEG was made intentionally less efficient

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; just so they can squeeze more software patents on it

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; throw away the chips

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; start afresh

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; or with some simple base

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; and do it right this timer

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; can take time and money

14:50 schestowitz[TR3]; but be conservative what you add to it

14:51 schestowitz[TR3]; same for some software

14:51 schestowitz[TR3]; refeactor or go back to basics

14:51 schestowitz[TR3]; make "smart" phones that need charging once a week at most

19:22 TR Bot; Poettering Talks Up A "Brave New Trusted Boot World" For Linux - Phoronix

19:22 DaemonFC; Guy who wrote systemd accuses Linux of being "brittle" and "not robust".

19:22 DaemonFC; (Microsoft Employee)

19:23 DaemonFC; systemd has been buggy (many of the same bugs nearly a decade later, while they insult people who complain about the same bugs nearly 10 years later).

19:24 DaemonFC; systemd has introduced many security vulnerabilities, and Lennart has personally attacked people for even talking about them, followed by refusing to fix some of it, or even allow anyone else to.

19:25 DaemonFC; systemd is not "robust", it has had many issues where even the "Long Term Stable" distributions have ended up with it sitting there leaking GB of memory and causing the need to reboot the computer more frequently just to get the leaked memory back.

19:27 DaemonFC; systemd is bloated.... It's got more lines of code than WebKit, and is therefore basically impossible to audit. Worse, they threw this mess together very fast, and it's even in the language that they are now trash talking for "making it possible to commit serious errors leading to security vulnerabilities" even though, like Linux, if they wrote the entire thing in Rust somehow today, 70-80% of it would be using "unsafe".

19:28 DaemonFC; Also, Lennart, like mjg59_, just continues to imply that Secure Boot is a silver bullet with absolutely no bugs in it, or the underlying firmware, when in fact nearly every implementation of every UEFI firmware has had hundreds of serious problems and almost nobody is ballsy enough to try to update it after losing their first computer trying to flash firmware.

19:29 DaemonFC; Lenovo says "Hey, install this!" and 1 in 5 times, it fucks Windows so bad you have to use the recovery partition.

19:30 DaemonFC; A computer that barely even works at all is the mark of Microsoft and Intel.

19:31 DaemonFC; A computer that's temperamental even on a good day is what you're getting lately if you try to run anything on an Intel platform. But at least you can get rid of Windows.

20:36 DaemonFC; It used to be style WinAMP because of the AMP media engine they licensed.

20:37 DaemonFC; They got into a very nasty lawsuit over that because they quit paying for the AMP license and claimed that their new "Nitrane" plug-in for MP3 decoding was all original code, and it wasn't. They settled out of court and moved on to license a FhG MP3 decoder.

20:37 DaemonFC; "Nitrane" was not compliant with the ISO MP3 standard, and introduced artifacts into audio when played back.

20:38 DaemonFC; So if anything still works on Windows 3.1 it'll probably either be the AMP or Nitrane releases.

20:39 DaemonFC; Something similar just happened with AAC. The new owner of Winamp lost all of the MPEG licenses that AOL had access to, so now it using the Windows Vista+ "Media Foundation", and comes without an AAC encoder.

20:39 DaemonFC; But if you go grab the last AOL release and dump the FhG AAC encoder into the folder, it works.

21:07 TR Bot; How early voting and vote-by-mail have changed voting patterns : NPR

21:07 DaemonFC; Very nearly everyone voted on Election Day in the 90s.

21:07 DaemonFC; I remember my parents rushing to the polling place because they had to get there on that day before it closed.

21:07 DaemonFC; They didn't much care if you had to work that day or not and there was no law that gave you any time off to vote.

21:08 DaemonFC; Even now, Indiana does have early voting, but you have to make up a "reason" why you can't do it on Election Day.

21:08 DaemonFC; Nobody ever checks the reason though, so you can just articulate that "I have a good reason to believe I will be out of the county on the entire day, and will therefore be unavailable at any time the polls are open.".

21:09 DaemonFC; But they didn't even have that back then.

21:09 DaemonFC; "I have work that day." is an excuse, but you also have to be "unavailable at all hours that the polls are open from 6 AM to 6 PM.

21:10 DaemonFC; So very few people can honestly say they expect to be tied up all day long, but I mean, you can plan to go somewhere all day that's not in the county, vote, and then change your mind about leaving the county that day.

21:10 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^

21:10 DaemonFC; This is the government of course.

21:13 DaemonFC; It's interesting that conservatives were stacking the voting laws so that only people who have nowhere to go and all day to get there could easily vote. They didn't want working people voting. They wanted old peopl sitting around rotting away on Social Security to vote, at least then.

21:14 DaemonFC; The working class is getting away from the Democrats. Trump showed how this is happening.

21:14 DaemonFC; Their base is now welfare cases, felons, and oddly enough, white collar workers who have college degrees and say they're very progressive, and then get the hell out of Dodge so they don't have to deal with the crime, and move into a $3 million house.

21:14 DaemonFC; Like mjg59_

21:15 DaemonFC; (The third group.)

21:15 DaemonFC; The notion is that if you make all of the houses $3 million and jack up the taxes sky high, nobody of working class can live there anymore.

21:15 DaemonFC; And so you don't have to deal with any of them, unless they're just there to serve you and then go home on the bus.

22:17 DaemonFC; "On November 17, 2021, the algorithm used to estimate excess deaths was modified to include 6 years of prior data, rather than 4, which have been used to date. Initial estimates of excess deaths used 4 years of data prior to 2020 in the algorithm to evaluate potential trends in expected and excess deaths. As excess deaths continued to be tracked into 2021, an increasing amount of data had to be excluded from the algorithm modeling, as weekly

22:17 DaemonFC; counts of deaths during the pandemic (February 1, 2020 to present) are excluded from the algorithm to estimate the expected numbers of deaths. As of November 2021, this results in approximately 93 weeks of data being excluded from the estimation. With the exclusion of these 93 weeks, there was insufficient data to accurately estimate the trends in the expected numbers of deaths when using only 4 prior years of data. Thus, the number of prior

22:17 DaemonFC; years used to estimate the expected numbers of deaths was increased to 6, to ensure a sufficient number of years to estimate the trends over time. This change resulted in an increase in the weekly expected numbers of deaths by an average of 2% throughout the pandemic.

22:41 DaemonFC; "Hellman's Real Mayo with Olive Oil"

22:42 TR News; Tons of HEY HI fluff by Sean Michael Kerner these days (he used to focus on GNU/Linux), this one for clown computing and monopolies. Not good. https://venturebeat.com/ai/amazon-sagemaker-continues-to-expand-machine-learning-ml-use-in-the-cloud/

22:43 DaemonFC; Look at the ingredients (listed in order of most to least....) WATER, olive oil,canola oil, soybean oil.....

22:43 DaemonFC; Technically not a lie. There is _some_ olive oil in the blend, but by moving water to the first ingredient and including two cheaper oils, they can make the claim that there is olive oil in the mayo while keeping it cheap to make.

22:44 DaemonFC; Soybean Oil, Water, Whole Eggs, Distilled Vinegar, Egg Yolks.

22:44 DaemonFC; So there's water on the label, but it's the second ingredient in regular Hellman's.

22:45 TR News; "The original Schiit Stack being 2 devices high was pretty manageable as-is. With my current 4-high stack though, things became unstable and I had to resort to finding a way to bolt them together." https://veronneau.org/extruded-schiit-stack.html

22:45 DaemonFC; Light Hellman's is: Water, Soybean Oil, Modified Food Starch (Corn, Potato)*, Sugar, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Whole Eggs,

22:46 DaemonFC; Again, water is the leading ingredient, and worse, you have to get to ingredient seven to get to eggs, which is one of the major ingredients in mayo.

22:46 DaemonFC; They're not lying. The more water you use to displace actual mayo, the less cholesterol and saturated fat will be in a tablespoon of mayo.

22:46 schestowitz[TR3]; so they could sell concentrate

22:46 schestowitz[TR3]; and say,

22:47 DaemonFC; But it's not real at this point.

22:47 schestowitz[TR3]; "just dilute in water

22:47 schestowitz[TR3]; less calories

22:47 schestowitz[TR3]; diet mayo

22:47 schestowitz[TR3]; 90% less fats

22:47 schestowitz[TR3]; 90% more water

22:48 schestowitz[TR3]; miracle sauce

22:48 schestowitz[TR3]; you can buy it in 2 litre coke bottle

22:48 schestowitz[TR3]; "may contains egg and nuts"

22:50 DaemonFC; Great Value Mayo.... SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS, EGG YOLKS, VINEGAR...other ingredients "less than 2%".

22:51 DaemonFC; You know, I have had Hellman's and I buy Great Value all the time. Madame Harmon always went to "the expensive old people store" to buy Hellman's.

22:51 DaemonFC; And I actually prefer GV and it's half as expensive.

22:51 DaemonFC; Even with a huge rebate on it, Hellman's is more expensive, per ounce.

22:51 DaemonFC; And it seems to be more dilute than the store brand.

22:52 DaemonFC; Eggs definitely belong before vinegar in any recipe. You can make mayo yourself, of course.

22:52 DaemonFC; So I suppose that Hellman's might be "a little tangier" and "less viscous" than GV, because the store brand has more egg yolks, less vinegar.

22:53 schestowitz[TR3]; anyway, back to tech..

22:53 DaemonFC; It's an example of marketing.

22:53 schestowitz[TR3]; i need help with somethingf

22:53 DaemonFC; There's not an important difference here, much less doubling of the grocery bill.

22:53 schestowitz[TR3]; 1) how many microsoftr REALLY laiud off

22:53 schestowitz[TR3]; inc. temps and contractors

22:53 schestowitz[TR3]; 2) which buckets lost how much money

22:54 schestowitz[TR3]; th e "media" just parrots what microsot says

22:54 schestowitz[TR3]; microsoft tells lies

22:54 schestowitz[TR3]; anything to please shareholders... 'white' lies

22:54 schestowitz[TR3]; microsoft should fall as much as FB did

22:55 schestowitz[TR3]; tesla too

22:55 schestowitz[TR3]; scam company

22:55 DaemonFC; Wow, this is neat. Jimmy Dean pork sausage. Two pounds at the same unit price as one pound.

22:55 DaemonFC; Buy two, pay for two. So amazing.

22:56 DaemonFC; Worse! There's a $1.50 rebate if you buy two. So to get the $1.50, you only have to buy two one pound rolls, but you'd have to buy 4 pounds in the "value roll", and then you pay more for something you're going to have to separate at home?

22:59 DaemonFC; I'm trying to re-create my grandfather's pizza recipe. He used to make them from scratch at home and sell them at work. When he got to the General Motors plant, people would be lined up in the parking lot paying him cash for the pizzas he brought in.

23:00 DaemonFC; He always had some things going on for cash on the side even though GM paid very good money and certainly enough for a family of 5 to live in the "middle class". Two cars, a house, TV sets in each room (practically unheard of then).

23:00 schestowitz[TR3]; back in ma day - grandpa

23:00 DaemonFC; My Grandmother was always a "Maricel" with his money so he not only worked at GM and sold pizzas out of his trunk in the parking lot, but he did a newspaper route too.

23:01 DaemonFC; And she worked as a hospital nurse.

23:01 schestowitz[TR3]; i know people who work 70+m hours a week for 'tech' companies

23:01 DaemonFC; But she wasn't contributing. That was her money to go buy expensive dresses and things.

23:01 schestowitz[TR3]; so they effectively work two jobbs

23:01 schestowitz[TR3]; close to 80 hours

23:01 DaemonFC; You need to cut expenses to the bone and say to hell with working all the time.

23:02 DaemonFC; I just gave myself another hair cut last night with nothing but my home haircut kit and a hand mirror.

23:02 DaemonFC; I don't even want to pay someone $25 to do it because you have to do it every month or it gets overgrown. It's a chore like lawnmowing! (if you own a house) But can't get out of this one.

23:03 DaemonFC; But why pay someone else $300 to do your hair each year?

23:03 schestowitz[TR3]; social status

23:03 schestowitz[TR3]; "I can afford

23:03 schestowitz[TR3]; "I get served"

23:04 schestowitz[TR3]; rianne cuts here once a year

23:04 schestowitz[TR3]; *hers

23:05 DaemonFC; Takes <10 minutes.

23:05 DaemonFC; So basically what you're doing is paying someone $150 an hour to cut your hair.

23:05 DaemonFC; This is crazy.
