I don't have an off-grid camping setup yet
[00:28:05]

I'm getting close, I got a portable fridge :)
[00:28:19]
Icez

[00:28:27]
Icez

Neo_Nemesis
Finally got good useable camera footage on one of the regular shop lifters that keep coming into my store.
[00:58:48]
Neo_Nemesis
Finally, got a report filed, turned over footage
[00:59:14]
Neo_Nemesis
Sheriff says "I'm sick of all the thefts around here, its getting out of control. If he comes back call 911, and tell them I instructed you to do so, and we'll come get him."
[01:00:15]
Neo_Nemesis
Today he stole 2 loaves of bread, a bag of cereal and a half gallon of milk.
[01:04:04]
Neo_Nemesis
yes I called, filed the report and assisted the deputy in collecting camera evidence and gave a statement
[01:05:22]
elcasey
oh nice one, good luck!
[01:06:04]
Neo_Nemesis
honestly tho the only way anything will come of this is if someone in the local department recognizes him, or he comes back into the store and I call 911 and manage to stall him long enough for the law to show up
[01:06:23]
elcasey
guessing you're in a state where you can't detain them yourself?
[01:06:54]
Neo_Nemesis
I am in a state that allows detainment for proper authorities, BUT the store I work in has a policy that states I cannot detain or assault shoplifters
[01:06:55]
elcasey
thieves are the lowest form of life
[01:07:28]
elcasey
ah ok, well at least it's not your personal property like if it was your small business, I thought that might be the case (not an excuse, of course, but at least you're not *personally* damaged by this)
[01:07:31]
Neo_Nemesis
so I'll have to catch him right as he walks in, make the call, and try to find a way to legally keep him in the store without treading on 'false imprisonment' etc
[01:08:03]
elcasey
in Florida you can't just shoot the bastard but you CAN produce a firearm and hold them until law enforcement arrives, at least
[01:08:18]
Neo_Nemesis
im in AZ, AZ is a protect your castle state
[01:08:21]
elcasey
I mean I guess not at Walgreens hahahaha
[01:08:32]
Neo_Nemesis
you can shoot em, beat em up, do whatever as long as they have crossed the threshold of your door
[01:08:45]
elcasey
oh cool, I was just in Phoenix about a week ago (Maricopa County kek)
[01:08:51]
elcasey
first time out there
[01:09:09]
elcasey
i believe it, thankfully I had a nice time
[01:09:11]
Neo_Nemesis
maricopa county in general is one of the worst counties in the state for crime
[01:09:20]
elcasey
work, but still enjoyed myself
[01:09:31]
Neo_Nemesis
yea you gotta get deep into phx to see the crime
[01:09:35]
elcasey
my cousin lives in PHX too
[01:09:39]
Neo_Nemesis
into the ghetto neighborhoods and such
[01:09:44]
elcasey
we went to Tempe when we were already hammered to shit
[01:10:12]
Neo_Nemesis
there is a lot of fun stuff in that area
[01:10:14]
elcasey
I never realized it was PHX/Tempe/Scottsdale like all jammed together before
[01:10:17]
elcasey
very similar to my hometown
[01:10:33]
elcasey
I already told them don't expect me back after March :P
[01:10:39]
elcasey
I have no need to experience an Arizon summer
[01:10:47]
elcasey
Florida is bad enough
[01:10:57]
elcasey
(I say that like I'm all cool, if they tell me to, I'll go)
[01:11:06]
elcasey
not Florida but the weather
[01:11:27]
Neo_Nemesis
I'd take a dry heat over a humid heat any day honestly,
[01:11:38]
elcasey
that's what everyone says, and we laugh about it
[01:11:41]
elcasey
so MAYBE I should go experience it
[01:11:44]
Neo_Nemesis
after living for a few years in west virginia I discovered I hate hot humid climate
[01:12:01]
elcasey
does it ever get proper cold, like below 40F?
[01:12:09]
Neo_Nemesis
elcasey: swampass doesn't even exist here
[01:12:12]
elcasey
it was in the damn 60s when I was there
[01:12:26]
elcasey
which is nice, don't get me wrong, and like low 50s in the early morning
[01:12:30]
Neo_Nemesis
elcasey: IDK about in phx, thats the hottest part of az
[01:12:37]
elcasey
oh really didn't realize that
[01:12:43]
Neo_Nemesis
you go north or south and you'll find below freezing and even some snow
[01:12:46]
elcasey
i guess up in the mountains like, what is it, Scottsdale?
[01:12:57]
elcasey
apologies, I know almost nothing about the place
[01:13:21]
Neo_Nemesis
down south where I am we'll get a inch or two maybe, freezing temps, and snowy mountain tops
[01:13:40]
Neo_Nemesis
but even if we get a few inches of snow, once the sun is up the snow disappears quick
[01:13:50]
elcasey
ice can fuck off but I like a good 40F day
[01:14:03]
Neo_Nemesis
we got 4 inches over night one year, and by 9AM the following morning it was 80% gone
[01:14:13]
elcasey
how about summer?
[01:14:24]
Neo_Nemesis
yea, down here it is, idk about flagstaff/north
[01:14:41]
Neo_Nemesis
but i mean like 100-105 is the hottest it gets down here
[01:15:42]
Neo_Nemesis
phx is the place that in the middle of summer, in the middle of the night, its still 90+ degrees
[01:15:58]
elcasey
probably feels about the same as FL with the humidity
[01:16:04]
elcasey
your skin is burning and it's hard to breathe
[01:16:09]
*
elcasey
retches
[01:16:20]
Neo_Nemesis
nah ive not experienced any hard to breathe stuff in the heat here
[01:16:27]
Neo_Nemesis
only in wv did i experience that in the humidity
[01:16:29]
elcasey
ok that is probably the humidity honestly
[01:16:45]
Neo_Nemesis
i mean here you sweat, but its so dry that it dries up before it can even soak your clothes

[01:17:06]
Neo_Nemesis
i mean you can still get a sweaty shirt of whatever, but everything dries super fast
[01:17:18]
elcasey
ok if they keep me on (I'm a consultant so I change clients frequently) I won't be all pissy about coming out in summer
[01:17:23]
elcasey
it WILL suck but so does FL
[01:17:34]
elcasey
and I know people use AC in AZ ... unlike Colombia wtf
[01:17:38]
Neo_Nemesis
oh yea it still sucks, but its a different breed of suck
[01:17:58]
Neo_Nemesis
the good thing about AZ heat is you can always find some shade
[01:18:12]
elcasey
I went to Cali in September and literally nobody has a fucking air conditioner and that (along with several other issues) ruined my trip
[01:18:14]
Neo_Nemesis
might still be hot, but its the sun that gets you here
[01:18:33]
elcasey
my own stupid fault for not staying in a proper hotel
[01:18:37]
elcasey
oh well, you live and you learn
[01:18:59]
Neo_Nemesis
The sun is really harsh here, like you burn easy here
[01:19:35]
Neo_Nemesis
elcasey: I left a bottle of coca-cola out in the sun all day once, and it faded the cola in the bottle
[01:20:35]
elcasey
i am attracted to this now, it being THIS horrible
[01:20:46]
elcasey
I am just so sick of every fucker moving down here and saying how "nice" Florida is
[01:20:52]
elcasey
FUCK YOU IT'S HORRIBLE
[01:20:57]
elcasey
now go back up north
[01:21:24]
elcasey
probably get the same lot in AZ, though

elcasey: Florida is nice in like November early December, from my own experiences going to FL
[01:28:40]
elcasey
yeah I think the weather is fairly nice from Nov (if it cools off) to the end of April, actually
[01:28:48]
elcasey
but then it's 6 months of hell
[01:29:05]
Neo_Nemesis
im sure it only gets worse the further towards Miami you go
[01:29:30]
elcasey
probably, I've never really spent much time in south Florida
[01:29:33]
Neo_Nemesis
northern florida is a swampier Georgia, I call it psuedo-florida
[01:30:04]
elcasey
I'm a native of a place Melbourne, if you ever heard of it. About 50mi south of the space center (where I worked, my dad worked, and my grandfather worked, at various points)
[01:30:20]
Neo_Nemesis
the farthest Ive gone into florida was Daytona beach
[01:30:33]
elcasey
ok it's about an hour and a half south of that on I95
[01:30:49]
elcasey
that area is nice, not Daytona but the whole Flagler/Duval County (Jax) area
[01:30:57]
elcasey
I like north Florida because it IS South Georgia
[01:31:11]
elcasey
St Augustine is great
[01:31:28]
Neo_Nemesis
one thing about FL and GA that blew me away was the palms mixed in with the pines
[01:31:44]
elcasey
I moved to Tampa around a decade a ago for work, hated it, moved down to Manatee County, it is pretty shit, so I am selling my house and coming back to Melbourne
[01:32:02]
elcasey
my parents are old now, they need me, and there is no reason for me to stay over there, especially since EVERYONE is moving there now
[01:32:14]
Neo_Nemesis
out here in the west the only place you see palms in California and fancy neighborhoods
[01:32:16]
elcasey
lol yeah re: the trees
[01:32:31]
elcasey
most of the palms aren't like natively there though
[01:32:46]
Neo_Nemesis
they seemed just mixed in with the pines
[01:32:53]
elcasey
they grew plantations of them
[01:33:12]
elcasey
i am talking out of my ass too and I've had a few drinks
[01:33:18]
elcasey
I am not a tree expert, not even of Florida :P
[01:33:30]
elcasey
but yeah, I am mostly used to palmettos and longleaf pines
[01:33:37]
Neo_Nemesis
i know the trees we have out here in AZ because there arent that many to learn lmao
[01:33:59]
elcasey
sorry just being a shit :P
[01:34:02]
Neo_Nemesis
man thorn bushes/sticker bushes are everywhere here
[01:34:10]
Neo_Nemesis
everything has thorns, even some of the trees
[01:35:18]
Neo_Nemesis
you get up into the mountains around here and its all oaks until you get to about 6000-7000ft in elevation then its all giant pines
[01:35:49]
Neo_Nemesis
and desert areas has mesquite trees and palo verde trees
[01:36:20]
Neo_Nemesis
meaquite is a throny one, ive seen mesquite thorns 2.5+ inches long
[01:41:16]
GENERAL_AVARICE

[01:41:21]
elcasey
2 trips ago (long story but I am back and forth east to west coast of Florida a lot)
[01:41:38]
elcasey
I was on I75 northbound around 6:15am and absolutely blew the fucking doors off a Cybertruck
[01:41:50]
elcasey
this idiot must've been going 55, I wasn't doing more than 80
[01:42:26]
elcasey
but like wtf, he obviously didn't have the computer driving or it would go, uh, the speed limit? Which is 70 ..

[01:42:40]
elcasey
so many morons, even that early, i couldn't believe it
[01:43:01]
elcasey
which is why i drive backroads through the middle of nowhere usually and stay the hell of the interstates
[01:50:04]
Neo_Nemesis
elcasey: Also in AZ there is a lot of rocks, you probably noticed that in phx
[01:50:55]
Neo_Nemesis
Arizona is one of the best placs in the USA to find gemstones
[01:50:55]
elcasey
the view from the plane was great but I was like shit there is literally millions of acres of NOTHING out there
[01:51:23]
elcasey
i want land and no neighbors but ... not in a desert
[01:51:48]
elcasey
i am wanting forest
[01:52:05]
elcasey
and my little 1-2 acre enclave carved out of the middle of 20 acres or so
[01:52:06]
Neo_Nemesis
not grassy like over there on the easy coast
[01:52:14]
elcasey
that's the dream but I don't have the money yet
[01:52:21]
Neo_Nemesis
thick bushells of grass that can reach 6+ feet tall
[01:52:27]
elcasey
that's kinda cool
[01:52:50]
Neo_Nemesis
let me find a picture for you, i really like it myself but im probably a bit biased because I grew up out here
[01:53:20]
elcasey
that's great if you wanna stay where you grew up. I don't, but only because I know that the Florida I grew up in will never exist again, it's impossible
[01:53:42]
elcasey
they built houses and apartments over it most of it for starters :P
[01:54:27]

elcasey
i did like being able to just see the mountains from the city
[01:57:12]
Neo_Nemesis
thats early morning after a highland snow
[01:57:21]
elcasey
that is really pretty
[01:57:28]
Neo_Nemesis
by the end of the day only the two peaks are snowy
[01:57:42]
elcasey
here on a clear day you can see...your neighbor's house
[01:57:49]
elcasey
because FL is flat as fuck as there is nothing to see at all
[01:57:52]
Neo_Nemesis
there are areas like that out here
[01:58:23]
elcasey
there is one area of Polk County that I drive through that is surprisingly hilly, like 200' elevation change
[01:58:51]
elcasey
I am envious of these jokers who live there and they all seem quite poor except the grove owners and ranchers
[01:59:19]
elcasey
like how do you obviously make zero money, you live in a fucking shack, but you have 5 acres of beautiful land in Florida?
[01:59:53]
Neo_Nemesis
that is Carr Canyon peak, the northern most peak in the second picture, taken facing south
[02:00:23]
elcasey
hngh if that was my backyard view I could live in the AZ desert/prairie/whatever
[02:00:39]
elcasey
as long as it was like a national park and I knew nobody could ever move there or build on that land :D
[02:00:40]
Neo_Nemesis
thats where I am down in the valley
[02:01:12]
Neo_Nemesis
theres mutiple areas you can go and each one is different
[02:01:23]
Neo_Nemesis
elcasey: To the northeast there are the Dragoon Mountains
[02:02:05]
Neo_Nemesis
where the Apache indians led by Cochise had a strong hold
[02:02:48]
Neo_Nemesis
there is all kinds of stuff like that out here in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and utah
[02:02:51]
elcasey
I am actually familiar with that history so that is really cool
[02:03:09]
Neo_Nemesis
I've found arrow heads just laying on the ground out here lol
[02:03:17]
Neo_Nemesis
and a couple rocks that hod holes bored thru them
[02:03:30]
elcasey
we had a patch of land in NC, 4 acres on a mountainside with a waterfall and a creek
[02:03:37]
elcasey
my parents sold it of course ... for like 20K *sigh*
[02:04:09]
elcasey
but I remember finding arrowheads in the creek and we even took them to a local antiques guy (called Smiley, what a place) because my parents were like "bullshit you did not"
[02:04:28]
elcasey
and he was like yeah these are proper arrowheads. I had them ages, I wish I knew where they were
[02:04:45]
Neo_Nemesis
yea theres a lot of stone tools and pottery in the carolinas
[02:05:13]
elcasey
when you're a kid and a place is full of dynamite plungers and giant prehistoric shark teeth it's like being in another world, it was so cool
[02:05:52]
Neo_Nemesis
west virginia is muddy and swampy, I didn't like it much
[02:05:54]
elcasey
ah well, those days are long gone day. good memories, though, and super cool you can find arrowheads on your own land! or at least where you're hiking and stuff
[02:06:08]
elcasey
WV always seemed weird
[02:06:24]
elcasey
but not the same, because I think I know what you mean, WV always seems rainy
[02:06:42]
elcasey
never been there though, maybe drove through parts
[02:06:51]
Neo_Nemesis
it is, I lived in WV for almost 3 years
[02:07:09]
elcasey
ever since I was a teenager I spent all my vacation dollars and time going to Europe instead of other parts of the US
[02:07:14]
Neo_Nemesis
the only time of the year I liked in WV was early fall, when the humidity died down
[02:07:18]
elcasey
(I don't mean every year :P)
[02:07:35]
elcasey
yeah same in FL when that humidity switch is flipped
[02:08:03]
Neo_Nemesis
Ive been coast to coast, (not back to back) but have not been to every state.
[02:08:12]
Neo_Nemesis
honestly AZ or Colorado would be a nice place to live
[02:09:08]
elcasey
I am a mind-your-own-business-ist libertarian (lowercase l) so CO might be tough for me but I would love to go check it out
[02:09:35]
elcasey
was never in AZ before PHX but I liked it so far and I know that's the big city

it was amazing, so glad we did it

elcasey: western us is way more open sky country with big mountains and deep valleys
[02:14:10]
elcasey
yeah I remember those views in MT/WY/SD
[02:14:20]
Neo_Nemesis
here in the winter it will get like maybe into the teens 13-19F but usually mid 20s at the lowest point of the curve
[02:14:34]
elcasey
that's really not that bad to me
[02:14:48]
Neo_Nemesis
fuck no, not after living in west virginia!
[02:14:51]
elcasey
I lived in Moscow for a year (and as a Florida native had never lived anywhere else with real winter)
[02:15:02]
elcasey
that was a learning experience, holy shit
[02:15:52]
Neo_Nemesis
i dont miss having to mow twice a week in the summer and shovel snow in the winter

Neo_Nemesis: that was the year that I learned that -40 is the *same* temp in F and C >.<
[02:19:22]
Neo_Nemesis
fuck that, the coldest I expeirencd in WV was -3 with a -15 windchill
[02:20:09]
NiniGeo2
That's super cold for weather D:
[02:20:27]
Neo_Nemesis
thats why I moved back to arizona
[02:20:53]
Neo_Nemesis
where its like 15F at the coldest, but typically in the 20-30F range
[02:21:14]
Neo_Nemesis
but during the day on a mostly sunny day the temp rises fast, usually highest in winter is 60s
[02:21:29]
elcasey
I got frostbite from walking like 500m home after the tram stalled and made everyone get off
[02:21:36]
elcasey
not serious, it was like a minor sunburn
[02:21:50]
elcasey
and that was nearly 20yrs ago
[02:22:08]
elcasey
the time it took me to flip the ear flaps out of my hat, I already got frostbite on my face and ears hehe
[02:22:15]
Neo_Nemesis
in WV I experienced not only snow storms, but ice storms
[02:22:20]
elcasey
yeah that sounds horrid
[02:22:31]
elcasey
sometimes I'm like "Casey, stfu and stay in Florida, you have it made"
[02:23:31]
Neo_Nemesis
only difference is instead of cubans and columbians you have mexicans and columbians lol
[02:24:38]
elcasey
we do have a lot of colombians
[02:24:48]
elcasey
we have a lot of mexicans too
[02:24:51]
elcasey
on the farms here
[02:25:20]
Neo_Nemesis
yea, a lot of people out here are primarily hispanic. But the food is better here in that respect too

but it was weird, until I went to Colombia, I didn't know any Colombians outside of the Colombian restaurant in my hometown
[02:25:43]
Neo_Nemesis
Tucson, AZ is the best place in the state to go for mexican food
[02:25:52]
elcasey
all of a sudden, literally the day I flew back from Cali, I am in MIA, start chatting to this Colombian woman
[02:26:02]
elcasey
I leave the airport, too fed up for Uber, I get a taxi
[02:26:05]
elcasey
driver is Colombian
[02:26:17]
elcasey
I have a shower and come down to the bar, the bartender is Colombian
[02:26:25]
elcasey
like WTFFFFFFF (not that I minded)
[02:26:41]
elcasey
(taxi to the hotel, for context)
[02:27:05]
Neo_Nemesis
there nothing but white people in WV, other ethnicities are almost unheard of there lol
[02:27:38]
Neo_Nemesis
I grew up with mexicans having grown up out here.
[02:28:09]
Neo_Nemesis
defintiely a culture shock out here, for east coasters and vice versa
[02:29:01]
elcasey
but i didn't like colombia
[02:29:10]
elcasey
i didn't like Cali anyway
[02:29:23]
elcasey
I wanna go to Monterrey, I have some really good people there
[02:29:25]
Neo_Nemesis
but back then you could literally walk thru a entry gate
[02:29:50]
Neo_Nemesis
and on the way back in all you had to was show an ID to the border patrol guy and off you go back in
[02:30:05]
elcasey
they worked for me on a project at work (IT stuff), they just really impressed me, and we got to be friends and I would basically do anything for those people now
[02:30:17]
elcasey
so I definitely owe them a "site visit" :P
[02:30:41]
elcasey
lol yeah I rememebr hearing about the "US drivers license is plenty of ID for MX" days
[02:30:58]
elcasey
at least they have the passport card now for road and ship POEs
[02:31:09]
Neo_Nemesis
back then the border was literally a rickity barbed wire fence
[02:31:10]
elcasey
but I am used to carrying my proper passport anyway
[02:31:24]
elcasey
"please do not enter the US illegally through this gate"
[02:31:30]
elcasey
OK no problemo, senor

[02:32:44]
elcasey

[02:32:55]
Neo_Nemesis
but ive seen some crazy shit like smugglers and stuff before
[02:33:22]
Neo_Nemesis
once I was driving out to my friends ranch on a dirt road and this passenger van comes flying past me, and barrels down the road, and im like DAMN cos he going so fast
[02:33:37]
Neo_Nemesis
then further up the road he nearly flips the van sliding into a u turn
[02:34:02]
Neo_Nemesis
and the the doors on the van fly open and like 15 people jumped up out of out of the bushes and got into the van and it sped off in the direction it came from
[02:34:02]

[02:37:41]
elcasey

elcasey: AZ has many different, diverse places. the typical desert Arizona is central, places like Phx, Scottsdale, down to Tucson, and the closer you get to california the more desert and hot it gets too
[02:45:38]
Neo_Nemesis
not quite as hot as Phx, until you get into Cali, especially in death valley its hotter than phx, unlivable hence the name
[02:45:50]
elcasey
hence the name "California"
[02:45:54]
elcasey
see what I did there?

people cant even obey the speed limit there
[02:49:04]

A Californian walks into a library and asks the librarian, "Do you have any books on Pavlov's dogs and Schrödinger's cat?" The librarian replies, "It rings a bell, but I'm not sure if it's here or not."
