00:25 < K`Tetch> Evilpig that breakdown's been there at least a year. you just had to select it
06:27 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:30  * aestetix_ hugs Dolemite 
06:39 <@Dolemite> The teenage years are definitely here.   I had one child that never told me Happy Father's Day, yesterday, and the other one said something around 8 PM.
06:48 < aestetix_> happy father's day, Dolemite
06:48 < aestetix_> can I call you daddy
06:48 <@Dolemite> Come sit on my knee
06:49 < aestetix_> not sure if that's a good idea
06:50 <@Dolemite> Oh, come on.    Just because I have the hose from the air compressor hidden under my chair...
07:32 <@Dolemite> While watching news this morning, I've seen 4 different political ads
07:32 <@Dolemite> All for the vacant US Senate Seat (Lamar Alexander retiring)
07:32 <@Dolemite> All Republican
07:33 <@Dolemite> Zero non-white people in the commercials with them - all of them did have other people in them
07:33 <@Dolemite> And all of them climbing over each other to out-conservative and out-Trump each other
07:34 <@Dolemite> Oh, wait, I take that back.   1 of the 4 was for Amy MGrath running against Turtle McConnell - we're close enough to the KY line that people in SE KY watch Knoxville stations
07:34 <@Dolemite> She didn't have anybody else in her ad
08:12 < aestetix_> Dolemite: are you jumping on the quote bandwagon?
08:12 < aestetix_> quota*
08:18 <@Dolemite> No, but it's definitely telling when a significant portion of the people being represented Congressionally aren't being represented in these "Home town ads"
08:18 <@Dagmar> That's why they should just _eat_ Bitch McConnel
08:18 <@Dolemite> Just like I make fun of the fact that my wife loves Hallmark movies, but good luck finding a person of color with a significant speaking part
08:19 < aestetix_> Dolemite: ah ok that makes sense.
08:19 < aestetix_> I was not aware of the local population
08:19 <@Dolemite> So I guess you could consider me to be a "non-zero quota" person
08:19 <@Dolemite> But there are limits to that, too
08:19 < aestetix_> Well I think it would be telling if you had a town 90% black, where no black people were willing to be in an ad for a candidate
08:20 <@Dolemite> I know that there's a non-zero population of people that do body modification with technology.   I don't expect to see a proto-Borg in political ads.
08:22 <@Dolemite> TN has 17% black population (according to the Census).   I'd expect at least 1-2 in an ad with some dude sitting in a diner "relating" to his constituency.
08:22 < aestetix_> yeah, so it's less about not having enough to make you happy, and more about questioning their strategy of promotion
08:22 < aestetix_> IE you'd think they would be trying to reach all voters
08:23 <@Dolemite> Well, to be honest, the further you get from a city, the more white it gets.   As a general rule, Democrats focus on urban voters and Republicans focus on rural voters.
08:23 <@Dolemite> So in terms of the ones they give a shit about, these candidates represented accurately
08:24 <@Dagmar> Set a few of them on fire
08:24 <@Dagmar> Then they can be the token black person in the ad
08:25 <@Dagmar> Well, once they've cooled down a bit
08:27 <@Dolemite> Wow, one of the turds that keeps advertising didn't make the ballot.   Talk about a waste of money.
08:27 <@Dolemite> https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_election_in_Tennessee,_2020
08:27 < PigBot> United States Senate election in Tennessee, 2020 - Ballotpedia (at ballotpedia.org)
08:27 <@Dolemite> Josh Gapp has been advertising heavily
08:27 <@Dolemite> But look at how many Republicans are running for that seat
08:28 <@Dagmar> And look how many polling stations they've closed
08:28 <@Dagmar> KY should just burn all of it down
08:28 <@Dagmar> Closing 95% of the polling stations is tantamount to simply saying "We're cancelling the voting this year.  We know how to run you slaves"
08:46 <@Dagmar> The Confederacy only expected about 32% of the population to be slaves
08:46 <@Dagmar> The current administration is aiming for 99.9%
08:59 <@Mirage> Slaves or sheep?  I'd lean more toward sheep
08:59 <@Dagmar> Slaves.
08:59 <@Dagmar> TN in particular believes that all women belong to the state
09:00 <@Dagmar> Those cutesy new anti-abortion measures they just passed couple neatly with residency requirements so if you live here, they apply to you unless you move
09:00 <@Dagmar> You can't just go to another state to have the problem resolved.
09:00 <@Dagmar> That makes women chattel
09:01 <@Evilpig> Dolemite: the best thing I saw in the news this morning was out of nashville and zanies
09:02 <@Evilpig> https://www.wkrn.com/community/health/coronavirus/covid-19-case-at-nashville-comedy-club-raises-concern-about-phase-3-of-reopening/
09:02 < PigBot> COVID-19 case at Nashville comedy club raises concern about Phase 3 of reopening | WKRN News 2 (at www.wkrn.com) http://tinyurl.com/y7tsnohw
09:02 <@Dagmar> But... but... capitalism needs more money!
09:02 <@Dagmar> We can afford to lose a few mere human lives here and there
09:02 <@Evilpig> D.L. Hughley collapses on stage and is later identified as having covid19
09:03 < xray> Q: What do you call people who can't do math?
09:03 < xray> A: Coronavirus statistics.
09:03 <@Evilpig> The part that is surprising is zanies is suppoesed to have a no cell phone policy yet this dude managed to live stream that shit onto facebook
09:03 <@Evilpig> his video also showed there was no distancing going on but that's to be expected in zanies.  just dumb
09:04 <@Dagmar> That's the way _almost all_ the bars have been behaving
09:04 < xray> They will all get coronavirus while lining up to buy lottery tickets.
09:05 < xray> Which explains the way people are behaving in Las Vegas since it has reopened.
09:05 <@Evilpig> isn't vegas having to shut a couple of casinos back down due to flares?
09:06 <@Dagmar> Oh all the places that are going to prioritize business-as-usual over lives, Vegas is at the top of the list
09:06 < xray> Don't know.
09:07 < xray> Sadly the virus may not take out the stupid person. It will kill the person next to them instead.
09:07 <@Dagmar> At the rate we're going, it's going to be in the top 10 sources of mortality for people over 60 for the year
09:07 <@Dagmar> ...and probably every year until we get a vaccine
09:08 < xray> Or the hospital staff who will risk their life to help the person who gets it because of their stupid behavior.
09:09 < xray> I also can't wrap my head around the irony of the BLM protests that spread more COVID that disproportionately kills blacks.
09:09 <@Dagmar> They at least wear masks
09:10 < xray> I have seen more not wear masks than do and I think some of that is to keep from being identified.
09:10 <@Dagmar> If you saw the footage of Smith's fuckin' Kid Rock bar, all those imbecilic rednecks packed in there with NO masks on... that's _normal_ for downtown
09:10 <@Dagmar> They are pretty much ignoring that there's anything going on
09:11 <@Dagmar> I would like to see the places that are ignoring the restrictions _shut down completely_ for a month
09:11 < xray> That seems to be the trend. People are acting like it is all over. You can thank politicians for fueling that's idea.
09:11 <@Dagmar> That they only had a five-day beer suspension is pathetic
09:11 < xray> s/that's/that
09:12 -!- crashcartpro [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-qgetjgpqhaqbonmb] has joined #se2600
09:12 <@Dagmar> We entered phase III _just today_ so that means places are allowed to operate at 3/4 capacity
09:12 <@Dagmar> ...or, if they feel like it, continue to do whatever the fuck they like
09:12 < xray> My hope is that the idiot that "just had to have beer with my buds" thinks about that just before being put on a respirator that he may not survivie.
09:12 <@Dagmar> They won't.
09:13 <@Dagmar> Ther'es only about an 8% chance they'll need to go to the hospital
09:13 < xray> Sadly, I agree. In all likely hood they won't be critical.
09:13 <@Dagmar> Their parents, on the other hand...
09:13 < xray> Agreed.
09:14 < xray> We have become Idiocracy.
09:14 <@Mirage> on a completely separate note...why the fuck has patio furniture pricing gone through the roof?   Wife decided that the long table and 6 chairs was more than we needed and ate up too much space, so she put it up on freecycle with the intention of just getting a new table that was smaller and just use chairs we already have.
09:15 <@Dagmar> Because it's summer
09:15 <@Dagmar> You need to buy in late fall
09:16 <@Dagmar> You're basically singing another verse of "Why are electric blankets so expensive in February?"
09:16 < xray> Also, everyone staying at home is deciding to use their patios and decks.
09:16 <@Mirage> A table the same style, but small and square (23-31") is as much or more than we paid for the old one that was like 27"x72" and came with matching chairs.
09:16 < xray> The same reason bicycles are so hard to find.
09:17 <@Mirage> Mind you, this is metal w/ a glass top...not wood.   The wooden ones are insanely priced.  2-3x the cost of what we had just for a small table if we wanted to go with wood.
09:18 <@Dagmar> Just go buy some wood and build one
09:18 <@Dagmar> Tables aren't hard
09:19 <@Mirage> Leaning that way.  Lumber yard north of town sells teak, etc that would be better for an all-weather table.
09:20 <@Mirage> Not sure what their pricing would be like.
09:21 <@Mirage> Dagmar: we got our old one about this time of the year.. less than $200 for the whole set.
09:22 <@Mirage> How's this for nuts.. https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/fuo/d/plano-outdoor-patio-furniture/7143511729.html
09:22 < PigBot> Outdoor patio furniture - furniture - by owner - sale (at dallas.craigslist.org) http://tinyurl.com/yah4ecgn
09:23 <@Mirage> I wonder if sharing the crack they're smoking is included in the price
09:25 <@Dagmar> Well, you can't expect them to just come out and _say_ they're selling crack
09:25 <@Dagmar> Craigslist has rules against that
09:26 <@Corydon76> Money laundering.  The person who actually "pays" that price is getting something else, but it's all in the name of legitimizing drug money.
09:27 <@Corydon76> Wouldn't be surprised if the lumpiness comes in the form of baggies.
09:42 < oddball_> I'm just annoyed that Craigslist seems to have been flooded with retail shops advertising their stuff.
09:43 -!- oddball_ is now known as oddball
09:43 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o oddball] by ChanServ
09:48 <@opticron> and the scammers...good god they're prolific
10:02 <@Dagmar> I doubt money launderers are wasting their time with craigslist
10:03 <@Dagmar> It's more likely they bought that shit at Reclamation Hardware or something and genuinely think other people should be asked to pay $2,000 for patio furniture
10:07 <@Dagmar> Frankly I suspect Sam Smith's main problem is that while his bars operate at reduced capacity, he can't launder as much coke money as usual
10:08 <@Dagmar> ergo, all of his bars need to pack as many plague rats in as possible
10:19 <@Dagmar> I just ordered some silver heat transfer vinyl
10:19 <@Dagmar> It's time to stop being sublte about wearing the masks
10:19 <@Dagmar> I'm going to make a new set, and across the entire front it's going to say \
10:19 <@Dagmar> "WEAR A MASK"
10:20 <@Dagmar> "YOU FUCKING PLAGUE RAT"
10:20 <@Dagmar> The number of people in Goodlettsville who are just *not* wearing masks is ludicrous
10:21 <@Dagmar> It's time to start being a dick about it.
10:21 <@Dagmar> I should make an alternate text version
10:21 <@Dagmar> So if someone complains about the verbiage, I can swap it out for one that says
10:22 <@Dagmar> "WHERE'S YOUR MASK?
10:22 <@Dagmar> YOU FUCKING PLAGUE RAT"
10:22 <@Evilpig> I need to order in some silicone lube.  I've taken apart a few fans this summer and re-greased them with wd-40 so I know they will need to be done again in a few months
10:22 <@Dagmar> It's a good thing you qualified that
10:24 <@Evilpig> you ordering the vinyl made me think I should jump on amazon and get some
10:24 <@Dagmar> You should proabbly try and find something to clean out the remaining wd-40 when you do that
10:25 <@Dagmar> I'm not sure it'll get along with the silicone
10:26 <@Evilpig> I thought about that
10:27 <@Evilpig> it's a fan bearing so getting it all out would be near impossible
10:31 <@Evilpig> no biggie.  certainly cheaper to take these apart and do a little maintenance rather than replace them
10:31 <@Evilpig> also cleaned out the peltier while I had my coke fridge apart so it should run a little better as well
10:32 <@Evilpig> the heat sink on it had collected quite a bit of dust and crud
11:04 <@Mirage> oddball_: yeah.. the Tools, ATV, and Computers sections seem to be the worst.  Selecting 'owner' doesn't filter any of them out most of the time.  I guess technically the shop does own them..but not in the intended sense.
11:05 <@Mirage> Dagmar: TX has started suspending the liquor licenses of bars/restraunts that don't adhere to the covid restrictions.
11:09 <@Mirage> Some bars initially fought against fines for the rules/restrictions imposed by the governor, and won, because there's some clause in the state constitution about laws only being able to be passed by the legislature.  Promptly thereafter the alcohol board updated their policies to match the restrictions and imposed 30 day suspension for the 1st infraction, 60 for the second, and pulling the license after a 3rd

11:39 <@Mirage> mmm....thai.  local place has changed hrs to be open for lunch as well as dinner and expanded take-out delivery menu.
11:40 <@Mirage> place is so small that w/ the capacity restriction they can only have 6 dine-in customers

18:06 <@Dagmar> What would be super-awesome is if Twitter were being crushed under the weight of people laughing at Trump for being permabanned for posting ToS violations
18:06 <@Dagmar> He was talking some shit about "bombing" Bolton, and I was really hoping he had made that threat on Twitter
18:07 <@Dagmar> They need to take his fuckin' mic away to show him that just because he's President does not in fact mean that he answers to no one.
18:07 <@Dagmar> Make the fucker laywer up and justify his behaviour
18:07 <@Dagmar> Twitter will only have several _thousand_ examples of people who were banned for less.
18:09 <@Dagmar> Looks to me like they're up and fine
