00:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], They talk about "jerkoffs" in the video. They said Rolexes are mostly bought by jerkoffs.
00:57 DaemonFC; They said occasionally, someone needs to "be the man" and roll up in a nice car with a Rolex for professional reasons.
00:58 DaemonFC; But just to impress your friends? "Jerkoff".

00:59 DaemonFC; He's saying Rolex didn't used to be this ridiculous.
00:59 DaemonFC; He said up through about the 1970s, everyone wanted a Rolex because it's this "grass is greener" thing.
01:00 DaemonFC; But they made as many as people would buy and you could go into a shop and hand them the money and anyone could have one in theory.
01:00 DaemonFC; But now they don't even do that.
01:00 DaemonFC; They know they can make more money on less watches by making it into a game to even be able to buy one.
01:03 DaemonFC; He's talking about Gucci.
01:03 DaemonFC; barf
01:03 DaemonFC; Most of their stuff is fucking ugly.

01:16 schestowitz[TR]; techuser: I heard there are "air raids" today
01:16 DaemonFC; If they think they can slap a free Rolex on his wrist and a lot of people who will buy them see it because he wears it.
01:16 DaemonFC; That might be how Sean Connery got them.
01:16 DaemonFC; He had a big collection, but like, he didn't need them as a career thing.
01:17 DaemonFC; So when they pass out $70,000 watches for free they create an army of "influencers".
01:17 DaemonFC; The more you learn about this company the more you realize it's all a grift.

03:20 schestowitz[TR]; and more things that can go wrong
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; even in the OS that powers these
03:20 DaemonFC; With the world economy in this much trouble, how has the Submariner gone from a $3,000 watch to a $12,000 one in 20 years at MSRP?
03:20 DaemonFC; And they go used for more than twice that!
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: you are too obsessed worth watches I thinkk
03:21 DaemonFC; If I'd gotten 3 of them in 2003, put them away, never wore them, and sold them now, I'd make almost $75,000 on just $9,000 spent on them then.
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; I have my old g-check here, was gonna send it to you
03:21 DaemonFC; Nah, economics.
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; now I think you'd not even wear it
03:21 DaemonFC; I mean, crazy shit man.
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; *gg-shock
03:21 DaemonFC; People were saying buy gold buy gold.
03:21 DaemonFC; Gold hasn't gone up 800% since then, has it?
03:22 DaemonFC; People are fucking weird.
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; you could buy apple pcs int he 1970s
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; but you could do the same with other brands
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; and get nothing for them
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; gamble
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; there is no way of knowing if a company would even exist in 50 years
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; in tech, the chances are very slim
03:40 DaemonFC; I wouldn't have bet money on Apple in the 70s honestly, but you also didn't have to then.
03:41 DaemonFC; You could have done it in the 1990s when it looked like they were a hopeless penny stock that Sculley was about to bankrupt.
03:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], You don't need to throw down thousand dollar bills to get things that look decent. Most of the "brands" are just literally throwing names around.
03:43 DaemonFC; I saw "Michael Kors" today.
03:43 DaemonFC; Some Mexican guy maybe 20 years old, vacuuming out his car at the wash. Obviously, not much money.
03:44 DaemonFC; But the jacket says "Michael Kors" on it like a big FUCK YOU.
03:45 DaemonFC; That might have been the brand of jacket that Ellis (one of my exes) spent his paycheck on and came home with.
03:45 DaemonFC; He bought a $600 jacket (in 2006) and came home and asked if I had paid the rent.
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; shows you how superficial it is
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; be modest
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; live your life
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; leave the brands to people who watch ads
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; and make them feel bad about not buying branded [sic]
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; (everything is branded)
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; even sainsburys changed from "Basics" (like generic) to several homegrown brands
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; so did aldi
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; e.g. "alcafe"
03:54 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Nothing impressive about the jacket.
03:55 DaemonFC; No higher quality than going down to Walmart and picking one off the shelf for $50 or $60.
03:56 DaemonFC; If you're getting cheap shit made n a sweatshop why are you buying it for 10x?

08:20 DaemonFC; This is horrible. That the Democrats in the state legislature and Pritzker got together and passed a bill that pretty much only benefits felons.
08:20 DaemonFC; And violent and dangerous ones at that.
08:21 DaemonFC; And that the state Supreme Court had to save us from it.
08:21 DaemonFC; But at least they did.
08:21 DaemonFC; Most misdemeanor defendants get minimal or no bail anyway.
08:21 DaemonFC; So I mean, it would have changed pretty much nothing for them.
08:22 DaemonFC; They charged me at the police station with Class A Misdemeanors and I settled for one C Misdemeanor, and they released me with no cash bail.
08:22 DaemonFC; And that was 3 years ago.
08:22 DaemonFC; Almost 4.
08:22 DaemonFC; Nobody was talking about any SAFE-T Act back then.
08:22 DaemonFC; And even if the cops did want to do it, it was $2,500, so I mean, really $250 and you owe the court the rest if you run.
08:23 DaemonFC; So misdemeanor bail reform was obviously not the point of the bill.

19:34 DaemonFC; MinceR, 205.9 F.
19:35 DaemonFC; The Moccamaster gets there on the water coming out of the outlet arm.
19:35 DaemonFC; It probably is 206 even going in.
19:35 DaemonFC; I think this is the first drip machine I've ever had where they bothered to build it and calibrate it right at the factory.
19:36 MinceR; "233.778 Celsius"
19:36 DaemonFC; In Celsius degrees, tenths of a degree matter more.
19:37 DaemonFC; There are 180 Fahrenheit degrees between water freezing and boiling, but only 100 Celsius degrees.
19:37 DaemonFC; Celsius is an awful way to measure temperatures even though you can easily remember a few key points, which you can also do in degrees Fahrenheit.
19:37 MinceR; it's awful, but not as awful as fahrenheit
19:38 DaemonFC; How is that?
19:38 MinceR; the base points of celsius are at least somewhat meaningful
19:38 MinceR; not "i thought this was human body temperature" and "i randomly mixed water with some salt and it freezes at this point"
19:39 DaemonFC; When you start talking Celsius, you're talking barely more than 20 degrees between beach weather and freezing.
19:39 MinceR; Kelvin is preferable though, being an actual unit of measurement, not just some "degree"
19:39 MinceR; if that bothers you, use yoctokelvins
19:39 DaemonFC; When you talk about degrees Fahrenheit I know that 80 is sort of a hot day and 30 is cold and 0 is damned cold.
19:39 MinceR; or even quectokelvins!
19:40 DaemonFC; Celsius just makes people on TV sound smarmy and incomprehensible.
19:40 MinceR; you have 20*10^30 quectokelvins between beach weather and freezing!
19:40 DaemonFC; Which is perhaps why Europeans like it.
19:40 MinceR; no, i've already told you why
19:40 MinceR; 01 203815 <@MinceR> the base points of celsius are at least somewhat meaningful
19:40 DaemonFC; Star Trek "Oh, it's a scorcher on that planet! 30 degrees!
19:40 DaemonFC; And they made the episode in the US, and you're like "God damned motherfuckers.".
19:41 MinceR; yeah, they gave you people too much credit
19:41 XRevan86; Fahrenheit just makes Usonians on TV sound smarmy and incomprehensible.
19:41 DaemonFC; As long as the measurement is accurate....
19:43 DaemonFC; "oud think that temperature would be something that pretty much the whole world could agree on a universal system for, like telling time." -Reader's Digest
19:43 DaemonFC; We don't agree on that.
19:43 DaemonFC; There's a 24 hour clock that's not widely used here.
19:43 XRevan86; 12 hour clocks are just 24 hour clocks split in two, it's the same thing.
19:43 DaemonFC; I've literally had to use it a couple of times.
19:43 MinceR; 12 hour clocks are unnecessary complexity
19:44 MinceR; so of course many people love them
19:44 DaemonFC; To do medical charting so it would be unambiguous and a time clock at Walmart.
19:44 DaemonFC; You can do 24 hours on a watch dial, but why?
19:44 MinceR; "13 is too big a number for me to handle, so let's just add another bit separately"
19:44 MinceR; "what, there are 60 minutes in an hour? that's fine."
19:44 XRevan86; MinceR: 24 hour analogue clocks are annoying.
19:44 DaemonFC; You just have to stare at it in the fucking dark that much longer.
19:44 MinceR; all analogue clocks are annoying
19:44 DaemonFC; I know whether it's AM or PM generally.
19:44 DaemonFC; :)
19:44 XRevan86; 12 hour digital clocks are an anachronism.
19:45 MinceR; and then it gets real fucked up
19:45 DaemonFC; "Oh, the sun is out. Must be 1 PM."
19:45 DaemonFC; How does that work?
19:45 MinceR; like how 11 PM is followed by 12 AM and then 1 AM or some ass-backwards shit like that
19:45 XRevan86; Meanwhile winter here: 5 PM is dark, 5 AM is dark.
19:46 DaemonFC; What's much more important than the 12 hour clock is DST, which they should stop using.
19:46 DaemonFC; They should go to standard time all year.
19:46 MinceR; UTC
19:46 DaemonFC; Why?

19:46 DaemonFC; Get a GMT clock if you care what time it is UTC.
19:46 MinceR; afaict GMT is only used in the UK
19:47 MinceR; why would i get a "clock" for a UK-specific time zone?
19:47 XRevan86; I do like it when Usonians write time when some show airs in local time.
19:47 DaemonFC; They make GMT watches and my Casio can track one time zone on the analog clock and another on the digital display.
19:51 XRevan86; DaemonFC: I can tell you something counter-intuitive.
19:51 XRevan86; DaemonFC: 24 hour digital clocks are more compact than 12 hour digital clocks.
19:51 DaemonFC; There's some Rolex GMT Master clones out there that cost a lot less.

19:52 DaemonFC; I saw an Invicta that was such a piece of shit that they went to rip off the Rolex GMT Master and they didn't actually put the second hour hand on it because they used the NH35A which doesn't support that.
19:52 DaemonFC; So it has the GMT dial but not the hand.
19:52 DaemonFC; :/
19:52 DaemonFC; But they make a GMT watch with a Quartz movement that really works and it's the same price.

19:54 DaemonFC; MinceR, They put down Certified Design and not Certified Chronometer like Rolex because nobody has certified this for accurate timekeeping.
19:54 DaemonFC; Which is funny.
19:54 DaemonFC; But it's quartz, so it probably stays working pretty well.
19:54 DaemonFC; Seiko slips them quartz and automatic movements and tells them not to say where it's coming from.
19:55 MinceR; i don't know why anyone would even use a mechanical watch for accurate timekeeping
19:55 DaemonFC; The NH35 isn't horrible as far as that goes.
19:55 DaemonFC; I've had automatic watches that cost more that lost a hell of a lot more than 2-3 seconds per day.
19:56 DaemonFC; This is very good for not being calibrated by anyone and the factory just cranking them out.
19:56 DaemonFC; If you had a human sitting there with a calibrating system, they might be able to get it down to 1-2 seconds a day.
19:57 XRevan86; DaemonFC: When you talk about degrees Celsius I know that 25 is sort of a hot day and 0 is cold and -15 is damned cold.
19:57 XRevan86; 30 - hot, 35 - very hot, 40 - desert hot
19:58 DaemonFC; -15 F is not "damned cold". It's "Oh look, my arm froze off and shattered on the ground.".
19:58 DaemonFC; :)
19:58 DaemonFC; It gets down colder than that here occasionally.
19:58 DaemonFC; -25 -30 or so
19:59 XRevan86; DaemonFC: It's good to have decent winter clothing.
19:59 DaemonFC; That hurts. It really hurts. If you spend more than 5 minutes in it, you start getting frostbite.
19:59 DaemonFC; Your car probably won't appreciate it if you try to start it.

20:19 DaemonFC; However, on December 28th, a Kankakee judge actually struck the law down in three ways, except for some police reforms like body cameras, and the Illinois State Supreme Court has applied the ruling to all 102 counties while it reviews the lower court's ruling.
20:19 DaemonFC; It's never been "in effect" in one square inch of the state.

20:33 DaemonFC; I suppose James Cameron can be explained away in the following.
20:33 DaemonFC; 1. He's old. Old people fall into familiar habits. He's riding on his stuff from when he was young and not breaking new ground.
20:33 DaemonFC; 2. Chinese censors.
20:33 DaemonFC; 3. Americans aren't educated anymore, so why waste good talent writing scripts and plot lines.
20:33 DaemonFC; 4. Hollywood is controlled by freaks and weirdos that see nothing wrong really with Harvey Weinstein or groomers, but pressured him into deleting action scenes because gun.

21:32 DaemonFC; "There is a scientific process to everything in this world, and one of those things is how to get an exceptional cup of drip coffee. You see, first you have to make sure you're brewing it at the right temperature. No more than 206 degrees F or you'll end up burning it and no colder than 200 F or you'll end up with something that tastes progressively more astringent and bitter. Now the coffee here is shit, but this is a police station so you
21:32 DaemonFC; expect that. For just the right cup I recommend a nice Colombian Roast or Single Origin Sumatra. Organic if you got it. And you have to keep the coffee maker very clean and properly descaled or else you're going to end up being off. The measurements are important too, of course, but comes down largely to personal preference. Now, as to the health effects, some perople prefer the tast of a gold permanent filter and it does save money, however
21:32 DaemonFC; there's some evidence that these chemical compounds called terpines make it through in unacceptable amounts, and are known to the state of California to cause cancer and possible reproductive harm, and I find that a nice paper filter, cone shaped, works the best at balancing taste and terpine level, and prevents any stray grounds from leaking into the carafe. And you must also destratify the brew and hold it at the proper temperature when it's
21:32 DaemonFC; done without a burner or you're going to end up burning off all of the flavor and antioxidants in approximately 20 minutes or so."
21:34 DaemonFC; The key is that none of it is relevant and that you maintain a completely calm demeanor while you're saying this until they stop you.
21:35 DaemonFC; Then they decide that they obviously have a nutcase on their hands and they don't want that in their jail because this guy could be trouble, and they let you go.
21:35 DaemonFC; But you also haven't told them anything that could be perceived as a threat.
21:40 DaemonFC; "You see, officer, coffee brewing isn't exactly a science, but there are parts of it that are quite scientific and absolutely reproducible. Time, temperature, measurement, cleanliness to control for off-taste, and the general quality of the input materials, including the water. Some people use purified water but I find that to be too low on the pH scale for my taste. I recommend using a good carbon block filter to remove the nastier tasting
21:40 DaemonFC; contaminants and the stuff that the government doesn't care that it's poisoning us with because bladder cancer at 82 finishes off those Social Security checks and cop pensions anyway, and leave minerals. You can get rid of those later anyway with a good descaling solution every 100 cycles or so.".
21:41 DaemonFC; "When we get to the less scientific parts, we obviously can't control exactly how each batch of coffee will come out due to weather and soil conditions at the growing sites, things like that, but we can speak in terms of averages and overall human taste profile factors within a given confidence interval."
21:43 DaemonFC; "This can get rather subjective, but like psychoacoustic research, we can gather an overall preference profile for the "average" human which accounts for the overall human perception level. See, we all perceive things differently. What you like to eat might make me barf, and vice versa. I might hear things that drive me crazy while I'm trying to sleep that you can't hear at all. It's all relatives man, just like they say in Kentucky."
21:47 DaemonFC; MinceR, I'm considering getting another Pro Diver. Quartz Seiko movement.
21:47 DaemonFC; Amazon is closing them out.
21:47 DaemonFC; Red. 43 mm case.
21:48 DaemonFC; For the cost of getting Seiko movements in Seiko watches, you could buy five Invictas with the same stuff in them by that point. Have a watch for every occasion.
21:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], That G Shock uses a weird battery.
21:48 DaemonFC; It's not even listed at Batteries Plus.
21:49 DaemonFC; They usually charge $10 or $15 to change the battery for you. It's not horrific. The batteries themselves at like $5-8 depending on the one you need.
21:50 DaemonFC; MinceR, The analog dials are worse of course by battery life.
21:51 MinceR; and readability
21:51 MinceR; and reliability
21:51 DaemonFC; You're far better off with a solar watch or an automatic if you care about not having to change out the battery a lot and hoping it's still waterproof.
21:51 DaemonFC; You get maybe 3-5 years on a battery in an analog quartz and 10+ on a digital quartz.
21:51 DaemonFC; But analog looks a lot cooler, obviously.
21:52 DaemonFC; So if you like a watch that also looks good on you, you get an analog dial, which is why they still outsell digital watches.
21:52 DaemonFC; But the demand is close between the two.
21:52 MinceR; no, it looks a lot less cool
21:53 DaemonFC; You can easily look and see the time immediately on a digital, but it doesn't pair well with a suit or anything.
21:53 MinceR; good
21:53 MinceR; i don't want to wear a suit either
21:53 MinceR; they're even less practical than analog mechanical watches

22:42 DaemonFC; Well, delicious but a few hours later you'll start dying horribly.
22:43 DaemonFC; A former Chicago police officer gave my ex his old service revolver.
22:44 DaemonFC; When he wasn't home, I got rid of it (years ago when I lived in Indiana).
22:44 DaemonFC; I'm not afraid of guns in the house when I'm the one in the house, because I'm not an idiot.
22:44 DaemonFC; But I knew that I'd be the one getting shot because this guy was extremely unstable.
22:45 phanes; DaemonFC, im going out to the range here next week
22:45 DaemonFC; He'd go from being personable and polite and everything to throwing shit around and breaking the television set with a ball bat because he got mad.
22:45 DaemonFC; So the next DAY, I got rid of the gun.
22:47 DaemonFC; I don't want one around when I'm with someone who might pick it up and shoot me.
22:47 DaemonFC; Yes, that was the same one that bought the $600 jacket (probably like $1,200 adjusted) and asked if I had paid the rent that month.
22:48 DaemonFC; I got off light with that one. The only thing he did when he left is grab one of my video games.
22:48 DaemonFC; No brains at all.
22:49 DaemonFC; Smart people don't run around buying a $1,200 light jacket that looks like Walmart shit with some huge name on it from Von Maur.
22:50 DaemonFC; I later found out just how much of an insane, degenerate, piece of shit he was.
22:50 phanes; lol i just realized this nondeterministic.computer site is just mjg59_ talking to himself repeatedly for weeks while trying to rewrite his self-narrative
22:50 DaemonFC; He shot an old man.
22:50 DaemonFC; For no reason.
22:50 DaemonFC; Didn't even mean to, because he was just firing a gun off randomly for kicks and the bullet traveled and hit the guy.
22:50 DaemonFC; Delony.
22:50 DaemonFC; *Felony
22:51 DaemonFC; Then another ex who was also with this person for a while told me what he did to him. Knocked a fish tank over. Giant one. Killed all of the fish in it.
22:51 DaemonFC; Like, in all of Indiana. An entire state, without KNOWING that he was an ex of an ex, 200 miles apart, I meet this guy.
22:51 DaemonFC; What are the chances.
22:52 DaemonFC; Some people win the lottery with those odds. I get Ellis.
22:52 DaemonFC; See how that goes.
22:54 DaemonFC; The way Hank kills Tuco in the gunfight is sort of stupid.
22:54 DaemonFC; Fitting though, I guess.
22:54 DaemonFC; If Tuco was smarter, he'd realize that Hank only probably had 2-3 magazines for his Glock since he wasn't expecting a firefight when he got out there (he came alone).
22:56 DaemonFC; That Tuco had an M16 with several extended magazines (so hundreds of bullets even after he wasted some on the cows earlier), armor piercing bullets, and automatic selector.
22:56 DaemonFC; He was concealed behind Pinkman's car and Hank had already wasted almost two dozen rounds already and was forced to wait for a clear shot.
22:57 DaemonFC; I would have switched to three round burst and kept shooting, through the busted out frame of the rear window, at Hank.
22:57 DaemonFC; Eventually you probably get lucky but you've got him pinned and he might do something stupid and waste his remaining shots.
22:58 DaemonFC; Tuco had the more easily defensible position and the superior firepower, and still lost, because he just stood up. Hank was hiding behind a car door on an SUV, Tuco was behind a low rider with a big block V8 engine.
22:59 DaemonFC; A fitting end for Tuco, I guess, because he was just so stupid and too high to think that he blew all of those advantages.

23:05 DaemonFC; BSG survives intact despite a lot of these damned things going off with high yield warheads because nukes aren't very dangerous to something like Galactica. Lots of armor and radiation shielding.
23:05 DaemonFC; Most of the energy would be EMF, heat, and hard radiation. And they were shielded for all of this.
23:06 MinceR; DaemonFC: doesn't matter, galactica had GAWD on its side :>
23:06 DaemonFC; Nuclear weapons are highly destructive in Earth-like atmospheres (potentially others) because of the pressure wave.
23:06 MinceR; nuclear weapons even interact with the atmosphere to create damaging effects
23:06 MinceR; like EMP
23:07 MinceR; or at least some of the elements of the EMP
23:07 MinceR; maybe only the third of the three, i don't remember
23:07 MinceR; but iirc a nuclear device detonated high in the atmosphere produces more of an EMP effect than one detonated near the ground
23:07 DaemonFC; They generate EMP without atmospheric effects, but yeah, they can be focused and amplified using the planet's atmosphere and magnetic field to create a lensing effect.
23:09 DaemonFC; MinceR, One reason I like the Moccamaster, is because they've kept computers out of it.
23:09 DaemonFC; It's pretty much all 60s tech in there.
23:10 MinceR; :>
23:10 DaemonFC; You get a computer in the thing, it's not good for much. You can have a digital clock and the thing can start brewing on its own, but if it goes out, the coffee maker doesn't work at all.
23:10 DaemonFC; You can put an appliance timer on it if you want, but not worth it.
23:11 MinceR; i use a pretty low tech method of making coffee, when i make coffee
23:11 DaemonFC; It's twice as fast as any drip machine I've ever seen from a big box store.
23:12 DaemonFC; I think it's terrific, funny even, that you can go get a wristwatch for $30 that meets or exceeds what a Rolex in 1967 could do.
23:13 DaemonFC; I can understand why people bought this things back then.
23:14 DaemonFC; The middle clas could afford one, they were better than other brands at the time, they didn't pull this "I only get two of these in per year and you have to court me like you're trying to have sex with a straight up 10 in order to get the right to pay me $12,000, potentially, 3 years from now." over a watch.
23:15 DaemonFC; The way people get over consumer goods is funny.
23:15 phanes; just buy an espresso machine. coffee is for the poors.
23:15 DaemonFC; If Paul Krugman's story about the guards at the Nobel Prize thing was true...Shooing him away because he drove a 2004 VW Jetta....
23:15 DaemonFC; It probably is.
23:16 DaemonFC; They give them to rich people for doing fuck all, or worse, something that hurts us.
23:16 MinceR; i'm not a fan of espresso
23:16 phanes; so make a latte
23:16 MinceR; lol
23:16 DaemonFC; Those people are usually psychopaths with a lot of money and expensive tastes.
23:16 phanes; or better yet, pay someone to push the button that makes the latte
23:16 MinceR; use an unnecessarily complex method to brew inferior coffee and then water it down so it's drinkable
23:16 DaemonFC; I've never likes espresso.
23:16 MinceR; brilliant!
23:17 DaemonFC; I don't like espresso drinks either.
23:17 phanes; it goes great with money
23:17 DaemonFC; They throw a couple in there, and the rest is usually a sugar bomb. Starbucks. Gross.
23:17 phanes; yeah i dont touch starbucks unless im traveling and am forced to
23:18 DaemonFC; When I do go to Starbucks, which is VERY rarely, I drink drip brew.
23:18 DaemonFC; So like, why even go?
23:18 phanes; i import carefully selected beans and grind them at home and brew it there
23:18 DaemonFC; If I wanted Starbucks drip, I have the best drip machine now that you can even buy.
23:18 phanes; the grind is important too
23:18 DaemonFC; So, they sell the stuff at the store.
23:19 phanes; starbucks coffee is actually shit in terms of quality
23:19 DaemonFC; It is.
23:19 phanes; once you make it at home correctly you can never go back
23:19 DaemonFC; It's basically up there with like Dunkin and McDonalds.
23:19 DaemonFC; It's not terribly special even compared with other discount grocery store brands.
23:19 phanes; the dunkin's BEAN is a high quality but it's that peasant brew instead of espresso

23:20 phanes; you can make a decent espresso out of kona
23:20 DaemonFC; I like Dunkin okay.
23:20 MinceR; mmm, peasant extract
23:20 MinceR; i liked their donuts back when they were present in budapest
23:20 MinceR; then they left
23:20 DaemonFC; That or Eight O'Clock Colombian will do fine.
23:21 DaemonFC; Eight O'Clock has been around a while.
23:21 DaemonFC; I got used to it in the 90s and the taste hasn't changed too much.
23:21 phanes; get a greasy bean like an ethiopian dark roasted
23:21 DaemonFC; Yuban was good, but I can't really find it anywhere anymore.
23:22 DaemonFC; There's Cafe Bustelo, but I don't like it and it went from cheap to expensive hipster stuff, so nah.
23:22 DaemonFC; At least no Hipster would be caught dead drinking Dunkin.
23:22 phanes; this megacli utility is shit
23:23 DaemonFC; You can tell when something goes Hipster because the price like, quadruples while everything else in the category is flat or rises roughly with inflation.
23:24 DaemonFC; Well, I guess that settles it.
23:24 DaemonFC; MinceR, I couldn't get my solar watch to go to H in the window even over days.
23:24 DaemonFC; So I grabbed a LED flashlight and put the watch on top (I have a screen protector.) and left it there for an hour.
23:25 DaemonFC; It's on H now.
23:25 MinceR; lol
23:25 DaemonFC; I'm going to do like another 30 minutes or so to top it off.
23:25 DaemonFC; So much for "200 hours in a window to H and 8 more to go to F".
23:25 DaemonFC; So much for the three seashells.
23:25 DaemonFC; :)
23:28 DaemonFC; The flashlight can sit there and run on rechargeable AAs.
23:28 DaemonFC; It runs for about 8-10 hours in those.
23:28 DaemonFC; I can charge those as many times as I need to.
23:28 DaemonFC; I was going to use the "HAH HAH HAH" flashlight from the car.
23:28 DaemonFC; But the little one works fine I see.
23:29 DaemonFC; So much for the $32 "solar watch charger" from Amazon.
23:29 DaemonFC; How stupid do those people think I am?
