[08:01] schestowitz-TR nations run by their people want to get ahead

[08:01] schestowitz-TR by teaching the young

[08:01] schestowitz-TR nations run against their people want to keep people behind

[08:01] schestowitz-TR stagnation, not advancement, can also be a business model

[08:01] schestowitz-TR like moderna raising the price of covid vaccines by %4000

[08:01] schestowitz-TR without bothering to even improve them

[10:14] schestowitz-TR firefox, quiterss and other reply on rss/feed/meta to tell where the feed is

[10:14] schestowitz-TR he probably didn't craft the page to highlight where the feed is

[10:14] schestowitz-TR returning visits/bookmarks/subs are very valuable

[10:14] schestowitz-TR the lifeblood of a sitge

[10:14] schestowitz-TR feedburner burned a lot of sites

[10:14] schestowitz-TR they outsourced

[10:14] schestowitz-TR foolishly

[10:14] schestowitz-TR in exchange for some worthless stats and widgets

[10:14] schestowitz-TR *rely on

[10:44] schestowitz-TR the kids today look the same

[10:45] schestowitz-TR but don't act the same

[10:45] schestowitz-TR i wonder how that's perceived by those in positions of power

[10:45] schestowitz-TR either way, not direcly my problem

[10:49] schestowitz-TR but we noticed that in recent decades the number of kids with mental "diagnosis'

[10:49] schestowitz-TR nto birth defects, not that it's not a problem tooo..

[10:49] schestowitz-TR seems to have increased shrply

[10:50] schestowitz-TR lots of "problematic" kids

[10:50] schestowitz-TR mental, physical

[10:50] schestowitz-TR the explanations or hypothesis are not easy to have a stab at

[10:50] schestowitz-TR but common sense helps

[10:50] schestowitz-TR irc mentions rising costs of raising cats

[10:50] schestowitz-TR now with soaring food prices

[10:50] schestowitz-TR the same goes for kids

[10:50] schestowitz-TR cars' median/average price is not over $40k

[10:50] schestowitz-TR and it's hard to raise kids without a car

[11:04] techrigthssec Two of the latest Louis Rossmann videos address patents and their anticompetitive nature. The shorter video is a

[11:04] techrigthssec digest of the longer one. It's on the edge

[11:04] techrigthssec of hardware patents and not a software patent matter but the same kind of

[11:04] techrigthssec games are being played with the hardware by Samsung

[11:18] techrigthssec https://roadzen.medium.com/the-real-cost-of-owning-a-car-eu-efa814dde33a

[11:18] techrigthssec 30k ammortized over 5 yerars = 6k / year

[11:18] techrigthssec 100 per week in fuel = 5k / year

[11:18] techrigthssec 2k per year in maintenance

[11:18] techrigthssec 1k per year in insurance

[11:18] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-roadzen.medium.com | The Real Cost of Owning a Car EU | by Roadzen | Medium

[11:18] techrigthssec sum = 14k per year, with the above completely made up, low-ball numbers

[11:18] techrigthssec so owning a car is like taking a 15k to 20k paycut

[11:19] techrigthssec Kids are in the ball park of 250k per kid to raise to age 18,

[11:19] techrigthssec ammortized over 18 years is about 14k per year

[11:19] techrigthssec So two cars and two kids could be 56k per year minimum,

[11:19] techrigthssec then there is mortgage, etc

[11:19] techrigthssec In some countries one must save for college expenses, too

[11:19] techrigthssec a basic in-state 4-year degree will be about 11k per year, not counting

[11:19] techrigthssec room and board

[11:20] schestowitz-TR from what I understand, back in 2000 (I checked in the 90s) a 4-year degree in a "decent"

[11:20] schestowitz-TR US uni can cost 200-250k all things included

[11:20] schestowitz-TR forget about the diploma mills

[11:20] schestowitz-TR I still have letters from some

[11:20] schestowitz-TR 1990s

[11:23] techrigthssec Yes, out of state will run on average 25k per year, but the high-end schools

[11:23] techrigthssec will be substantially more. There is a world of difference between

[11:23] techrigthssec the different levels of institution there. Some will run around 50k per year.

[11:23] techrigthssec And 4 years is not necessarily realistic. In the hard sciences or in engineering 4.5 or 5 years is much more com

[11:23] techrigthssec mon.

[11:23] techrigthssec So our of state at certain schools will run 250k just for the basic degree, not

[11:23] techrigthssec a good deal. Then taking on a loan for that will cripple future earnings

[11:23] techrigthssec and while it will allow a masters degree, it will actively eliminate the

[11:23] techrigthssec possiblility of a PhD.

[11:24] schestowitz-TR 2022 fares?

[11:24] schestowitz-TR 2023?

[11:24] schestowitz-TR 2010?

[11:24] schestowitz-TR 2000?

[11:24] schestowitz-TR it only moves up

[11:24] schestowitz-TR same for cars in the above-mentioned url

[11:24] schestowitz-TR now average 42,000 usd

[11:24] schestowitz-TR (my phd was funded by eu)

[11:24] schestowitz-TR except cost of living, but i worked jobs at the same time

[11:29] techrigthssec Most student jobs are not ecomonically sensible only good for a combionation

[11:29] techrigthssec of entertainment and "experience".

[11:36] schestowitz-TR thankfully I never picked high-budget vices

[11:36] schestowitz-TR btw, the smell/odor of himalayan salt got bad

[11:36] schestowitz-TR like sulfur

[11:36] schestowitz-TR didn't notice that as much before

[11:36] schestowitz-TR microsoft is trying to showhorn vista into massively underpowered PCs

[11:36] schestowitz-TR those are disposed of at the stores for nothing

[11:36] schestowitz-TR dfc noticed the same

[11:38] techrigthssec That is only a show to make people dissatisfied with the "old" hardware

[11:38] techrigthssec so they will go out and unquestioningly buy TPM 2.0; It also distracts from

[11:38] techrigthssec coverage of how to upgrade "old" hardware with GNU/Linux

[11:41] schestowitz-TR the cooking salt has been himalayan for a while

[11:41] schestowitz-TR but only in recent days the odor became more of an issue

[11:41] schestowitz-TR so it'll be limited to some dishes, like pastas

[11:41] schestowitz-TR I've just had so much paste that i might be done eating for the day (11am)

[11:41] schestowitz-TR with pesto

[15:00] schestowitz-TR for the first time in months I resatarted the service

[15:00] schestowitz-TR as it was timing out on me

[15:00] schestowitz-TR heavy loads on the site today, 5-10 hits/sec

[22:11] psydruid I have a Brother all-in-one laser printer here that has worked for 5 years and that you can also scan from using fully free drivers

● Jan 12

[23:43] schestowitz-TR our printer died recently

[23:43] schestowitz-TR a replacement would be uneconomic at this point

[23:44] schestowitz-TR we never - not even once - used the scanner in it

[23:44] schestowitz-TR they are cash cows for the ink

[23:44] schestowitz-TR but we only used black and bought that cheaply in ebay
