01:59:46 <MrMobodies> Hello
02:00:11 <MrMobodies> Someone ordered a prescription specifying glass lenses. They went to pick it up it seems they got fobbed off with the same tune that they should have sung before the point of sale.

02:00:41 <MrMobodies> "Hey guys, recently been to specsavers to pick up 2 pairs of prescribed glasses. I was told by them that the lens are made from plastic and not glass. They told me the benefits of having plastic lens instead of glass"
02:00:55 <MrMobodies> I see tha is Australia.
02:01:14 <MrMobodies> Could they have got their money back. In England is something is not as prescribed it can be disputed.
02:01:23 <MrMobodies> oops descried
02:02:53 <MrMobodies> I'd be absolutely MAD at them if they talk to me about these meaningless "benefits" that don't matter to me. "Try cleaning that in front of me and I bet I'd see the smears."
02:09:25 <rc-garage> meow meow meow meow
02:09:33 <rc-garage> i will send a cat in a bag your way
02:10:02 <MrMobodies> just make sure it don't go to the "Lucky House"
02:10:07 <MrMobodies> there it might be unlucky
02:10:24 <rc-garage> chinese place?
02:10:27 <MrMobodies> joke on the Chinese restaurants
02:10:28 <MrMobodies> yes
02:10:36 <rc-garage> perfect
02:10:40 <MrMobodies> back at my old address some were caught stealing cats and putting in their food
02:10:50 <MrMobodies> I think it was before the 2010's
02:13:03 <steve30> The police created a 24 hour dispersal order this afternoon as a result of me standing in a car park chatting to someone :).
02:13:19 <steve30> I'm glad the police have their priorities correct :)
02:13:47 <rc-garage> does that mean you can hang around for 23 hours, or that you are not allowed there for 24?
02:14:30 <MrMobodies> Filming another hotel protest?
02:14:31 <steve30> i *think* the order lasts 24 hours, which basically means in that time, they can insist that people leave the area and not return for 24 hours
02:14:41 <MrMobodies> I'd imagine they found out from you.
02:14:47 <steve30> But I wasn't told to leave
02:15:05 <steve30> no protest, just standing in a hotel carpark
02:17:46 <MrMobodies> joke: maybe they know you now, follow you around and they suspected you got notice of a planned protest.
02:18:45 <MrMobodies> I remember that drone footage that captured you a few weeks ago.
02:25:09 <steve30> the drone one was taken by the same photographer who photographed me for the paper
02:57:52 <MrMobodies> I see
02:58:29 <MrMobodies> is that the one that paid for for your footage?
02:58:41 <steve30> no, that was channel 4
02:59:14 <steve30> here's the news article: https://www.thetimes.com/magazines/the-sunday-times-magazine/article/anatomy-of-a-riot-why-was-the-holiday-inn-in-rotherham-attacked-6m3d9dbwg

03:00:04 <MrMobodies> that's really good how they chose your footage
03:00:19 <steve30> they only bought 10 seconds
03:00:23 <MrMobodies> and nice qualty pictures (actually not of what they were doing)
03:02:54 <MrMobodies> I remembering reading an article that Keir Starmer, as a prosecutor "knew the right leavers to pull" to mass prosecute them.

03:10:22 <MrMobodies> " fundamentally changed in a very long time. They serve as a viewport to the internet, and while they keep evolving to keep up with modern standards, *the basic features haven't changed all that much"*
03:10:42 <MrMobodies> Why should it I wonder? It does what I want it to do and a lot out there
03:12:12 <MrMobodies> I see he's just lazy in that way
03:12:26 <MrMobodies> everthing is presented by the AI thing in the most simple form
03:13:10 <MrMobodies> An "AI" embedded browser.
03:14:58 <MrMobodies> I think they have to be careful
03:15:47 <MrMobodies> if it does what they want with little effort and results in significantly less activity than if they did it manually they could end up deskilling themselves

13:49:42 <MrMobodies> Absolutely disgusting no email address to contest this.
13:50:27 <MrMobodies> Open proxies they block
13:50:42 <MrMobodies> so that means I'll HAVE to find an open proxy that will view it
13:50:57 <MrMobodies> when it is a fixed IP I use
13:52:14 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/Ew7kdpE.png
13:52:25 <MrMobodies> I see they even blocked archive.org
13:55:20 <MrMobodies> I wonder why this thing has a 186 in there. I know low specs and arm varients were used in scsi controllers

14:00:08 <MrMobodies> I see it already has a network co processor in there.
14:00:33 <MrMobodies> So it looks like operates as a seperate unit in operation

14:58:22 <MrMobodies> This bit I mean says something else to me:
14:58:24 <MrMobodies> "4) Planning for stepping down treatment
14:58:25 <MrMobodies> Planning for stepping down treatment when stable, to keep medication at the lowest necessary dose."
14:58:43 <MrMobodies> I take my inhaler when I feel the need too which is not often anymore
14:59:01 <MrMobodies> but a puff every 2 to 3 days as it has been for about 4 years
14:59:47 <MrMobodies> during the move and lockdown my breathing improved (even on the easi-breath 12g of propellant) before Ventolin
14:59:56 <MrMobodies> it improved from 3 puffs a day to 1 puff a day
15:00:13 <MrMobodies> countryside, airplanes grounded, less cars on the road during lockdown
15:00:32 <MrMobodies> " stepping down treatment when stable, to keep medication at the lowest necessary dose."
15:00:52 <MrMobodies> Interferring and stepping down treatment can do opposite and worsen treatment
15:01:30 <MrMobodies> I think they maybe doing it to save money as that's what I read "NICE" and the CCGs/ICB's is all about.
15:03:07 <MrMobodies> If my symptoms got worse by all means but I don't trust them as everything they do seems to be towards saving money using environment or whatever excuse they can think of.
15:03:34 <MrMobodies> Do you think I am being paranoid
15:03:46 <MrMobodies> oooh time for bed didn't realise the time.
