[00:53:21] <systemd> https://www.reuters.com - Exclusive: Boeing plans 737 MAX production restart by May - sources
[00:58:04] <carny> does the 737 max have something to do with sls?
[00:58:25] <Bytram> can you say Boeing?
[00:58:44] <carny> yes duh
[00:58:56] <Bytram> and Boeing is also struggling with their Starliner to get astronauts to the ISS
[00:59:06] <carny> what does a launch vehicle have to do with an airplane?
[01:00:13] <Bytram> Maybe shows systematic problems at Boeing when three different divisions (or whatever they call them) are struggling to meet required reliability.
[01:00:30] <carny> boeing has so many shell corporations and tax dodges that the airplane business could go bankrupt tomorrow and not stop the rocket divisions if they were spun off
[01:01:14] <carny> right what i want to know is what kind of overlap is there between the 737 max and the rest of the company
[01:01:36] <Bytram> I don't know. They have a site on the web.
[01:01:49] <carny> culture of offshoring and hiring h1b visa workers is one important aspect i'm sure
[01:02:11] <carny> well you looked like you were investigating it so i thought i'd ask
[01:02:17] <Bytram> You might also want to look into the quality troubles that Boeing is having with their new in-flight refueling tankers, too.
[01:02:25] <carny> nevermind i'll do my own investigation
[01:10:30] <Bytram> It's like going to Foo's department store. Used to be you could get a solid product at a fair price. Then you buy a store-brand TV -- your last one lasted for years and years -- and the color shifts to garish hues just a year. Can't be good at everything all of the time so you give them the benefit of the doubt and buy a stereo system, and not only does a knob fall off after 6 months, but the amp is unbalanced so always sounds louder
[01:10:31] <Bytram> on one side that the other. They keep singing about their great history, so you give them one more try with a stand mixer for your kitchen... and the transmissions goes so you can now only mix on high speed, splashing stuff everywhere. How long would you continue to shop at Foo's department store?
[01:14:42] <chromas> I would ban their products from my house. Foo barred.
[01:19:53] <Bytram> Yep, you can be sure if you check out my home, try as yu may, you will find nothing there tht was made by Boeing.

[01:59:28] <Bytram> \o/ \o/ \o/ (three cheers for someone working on the front-ish lines during the pandemic)
[01:59:42] <AzumaHazuki> no need for that :) but, thanks

[01:59:50] * AzumaHazuki does not hug, because...yeah
[02:00:04] <Bytram> hence the cheers
[02:00:22] <AzumaHazuki> it's honestly not been bad for me yet. nurses though...
[02:01:18] <Bytram> oh yeah. Got a relative graduating this spring. The her licensing exam and she'll be in the thick of it.

[02:01:33] <exec> <Bytram> oh yeah. Got a relative graduating this spring. Then her licensing exam and she'll be in the thick of it.
[02:02:32] <AzumaHazuki> i saw, yeah...hell of a time to be entering the field
[02:02:42] <AzumaHazuki> now there is a lady who deserves the cheers :)
[02:03:09] <Bytram> Can pretty much write her own check, though. Sharp, hard-working, genuinely caring.
[02:04:23] <Bytram> yep, sent her a long e-mail. Noting the challenges and the fears, my confidence in her, some perspective, and an open offer for support.
[02:04:50] <Bytram> that'd be more emotional support than financial, but still... sometimes that can be priceless.
[02:05:31] <AzumaHazuki> i don't know how helpful this will be for her, BUT....2000 IU of vitamin D3, 30mg of zinc, and 2-3 grams of vitamin C are really helping me
[02:05:38] <AzumaHazuki> *daily
[02:05:44] <Bytram> YAY!!!
[02:06:08] <AzumaHazuki> that is an insanely high C dose and 1/2 the tolerable upper intake of D3 (RDA is about 400IU/day)
[02:06:32] <AzumaHazuki> she WILL get the dire rear the first couple of days because of that much C...unless her body actually needs it, which it may

[02:12:08] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: I'm looking at a story sub... ranitidine found to be contaminated with N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). FDA recall.
[02:12:25] <Bytram> Gets worse with heat and with time. Risk of cancer.
[02:12:28] <Bytram> thoughts?
[02:12:40] <AzumaHazuki> indeed. they did a recall earlier last/this year, but it was supposed to be temporary
[02:13:05] <AzumaHazuki> now they seem to want it all gone. NDMA may be a natural breakdown product of ranitidine (and nizatidine)
[02:13:42] <Bytram> is the thinking still the case that, if it causes cancer, even at high doses, then it is a problem?
[02:14:10] <AzumaHazuki> yes, as far as i know. it is of course more about ass-covering than genuine concern for us little people but...yeah
[02:15:17] <Bytram> remember reading about things like testing in mice revealed it could cause cancer. Equivalent human dose of 1 kg per day.
[02:15:52] <AzumaHazuki> again: ass-covering. H2 antagonists are popular drugs and sold over the counter a lot, so...
[02:16:24] <Bytram> get enough different folk doing something, eventually someone is gonna end up hurt.
[02:16:31] <Bytram> CYA.

[02:23:37] <AzumaHazuki> chrome is too big for its britches

[02:29:19] * Bytram sees the words but fails to be enlightened.
[02:29:30] * Bytram tries to turn off the dark
[02:29:54] <AzumaHazuki> MadoMagi is basically a horribly grim deconstruction of second-wave magical girl series (think Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, etc)
[02:30:00] <chromas> Yeah but Firefox keeps trying to be Chrome
[02:30:15] <Bytram> didn't that go out of style in the 50's ??
[02:30:47] <AzumaHazuki> it asks questions like "WHY are these random-ass talking cat-rabbity things giving ninth grade girls the powers of elemental demigods?" and answers with something Lovecraftian
[02:31:34] <AzumaHazuki> iirc the author is mostly known for j-horror...
[02:32:18] * Bytram feels somewhat un-en-darkened
[02:32:24] <Bytram> thanks!
[02:32:46] <AzumaHazuki> thing is, the genre didn't reeeeeeally need deconstruction. sailor moon is horribly dark in places, especially the original manga
[02:33:06] <AzumaHazuki> the author was actually planning for the girls to die, permanently, at the end of the arc
[02:33:35] <AzumaHazuki> concept art shows proto sailor mercury was a cyborg, proto sailor jupiter a chainsmoking delinquent, etc
[02:34:11] <AzumaHazuki> the third arc, what became Sailor Moon S (season 3) actually does go into full-on Lovecraftian horror
[02:35:42] <Bytram> Although I've heard/read countles references to Lovecraft, it never appealed to me in the least. Only have other's comments to go by, and nothing has caught my interest, yet. Isn't he the cthluthu(sp?) guy?
[02:36:13] <AzumaHazuki> yes
[02:36:47] <Bytram> I got that right? Heh.
[02:36:59] <AzumaHazuki> and i would say Pharaoh 90 and the Death Busters count as Lovecraftian horrors. He (it?) appears as a giant, mile-wide alien tentacled eyeball, and is actually a portal to the aliens' home world
[02:37:46] <AzumaHazuki> they want to turn earth into a habitable (for them) copy of it. which, if Mars's psychic dreams are any indication, is covered in black sludge and has a red giant star for a sun
[02:38:16] <Bytram> =g Jeb Clampet
[02:38:16] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org - The Beverly Hillbillies - Wikipedia
[02:38:32] <Bytram> been shooting around too much, eh?
[02:39:08] <AzumaHazuki> oh yes, and half that season has Neptune and Uranus trying to kill the girl who's going to awaken as Saturn because they think she's the antichrist. and she...kind of is. oh, and Pharaoh 90's second in command has possessed her
[02:42:12] <AzumaHazuki> Soooo, as to MadoMagi's deconstruction...do you mind spoilers?
[02:42:59] <Bytram> from th sounds of it, I seriously doubt I would be watching/reading it, so won't spoil me.
[02:43:25] <AzumaHazuki> It turns out, in that universe, there's a hivemind of Cthulhoid aliens that feed on emotional energy. They've discovered that strong emotions break the Second Law. And the one that breaks it hardest is despair. And the purer and nobler someone is, the bigger the payoff when they break down
[02:43:49] * Bytram assumes fetal positiom
[02:43:55] <AzumaHazuki> so one of them (one extrusion of it...?) has been going around granting powers to girls who grew up watching stuff like Sailor Moon, and telling them to fight "Witches."
[02:44:31] <AzumaHazuki> this makes them a lich, as their souls are actually put into crystals outside their bodies. these can tarnish and darken with despair and negative feelings. and when a magical girl's gem goes black, she becomes a Witch
[02:45:02] <AzumaHazuki> so the aliens eat her despair, the despair of her friends who have to kill her, and so on, like a chain reaction
[02:45:29] <AzumaHazuki> they usually appear to someone who's already in the pits of despair and offer them a wish, with the phrase "make a contract with me"
[02:45:37] <Bytram> atomic explosion, but instead of neutrons going ping ping ping...

[02:46:26] <AzumaHazuki> Yup. The witches are all very freudian/jungian, usually manifestations of a dead magical girl's despair and insanity
[02:47:06] <AzumaHazuki> some of them were spawned from very young girls. the one that gets Tomoe Mami couldn't have been more than 7 or 8, as it's crazed-cartoonish and themed around sweets
[02:47:23] <Bytram> who was that Italian guy...
[02:47:27] <AzumaHazuki> Dante?
[02:47:35] <Bytram> nooope
[02:47:38] <Bytram> M....
[02:47:54] <Bytram> not markov, but kinda similar
[02:48:04] <Bytram> Machiavelli
[02:48:27] <AzumaHazuki> think Faust here, not Machiavelli
[02:48:53] <AzumaHazuki> there are runes that appear inside a witch's "barrier" (area of warped spacetime around them) that are usually direct quotes from Faust
[02:49:31] <AzumaHazuki> oh yes, and should the title character (Kaname Madoka) ever go witch, it will end the world. Her witch's name is Kriemhild Gretchen. As in, Faust's lover.
[02:49:56] <Bytram> foreshadowing much?
[02:50:21] <AzumaHazuki> Yes. Especially because it happens. Over and over and over again. Time keeps looping because one of the other girls wishes for time travel abilities
[02:50:32] <Bytram> LOL!
[02:50:47] <AzumaHazuki> Akemi Homura. The one I looked at and instantly went "yup, she's a lesbian"
[02:51:21] <AzumaHazuki> every time she shows up she looks older and sadder. she knows things she could not possibly know, but doesn't know other things she should.
[02:51:32] <Bytram> So, she keeps traveling *back* in time? Can't get enough? What if she were to go far ahead, instead?
[02:51:57] <AzumaHazuki> eventually it dawns on thw watcher that she keeps resetting time every time Madoka goes witch because she's in love with her. and the aliens LOVE this, it's like a buffet they can eat over and over

[02:52:09] <exec> └─ 13Age and entrepreneurial career success: A review and a meta-analysis - ScienceDirect
[02:52:14] <Bytram> yay!
[02:52:56] <AzumaHazuki> what they don't count on, though, is the very thing that makes Madoka's witch an apocalyptic event ("Walpurgisnacht") is also the key out of it
[02:53:45] <AzumaHazuki> Madoka wants to save everyone. If she goes witch, her reasoning is "if the world doesn't exist, no one suffers." Her eventual wish, when Homura finally fails to stop her from contracting, is that she herself save all witches
[02:54:45] <AzumaHazuki> she become the "law of cycles," and the witch metamorphosis chain is broken. she disappears from reality, becoming a "concept" according to Homura, who intercepts dying magical girls mid-transition and takes them into herself
[02:55:18] <AzumaHazuki> the aliens are perfectly selfish unemotional beings, so it never occurs to them anyone would try that...
[02:56:46] <AzumaHazuki> this is what passes for a good ending in this universe by the way. and it doesn't stick. guess whose fault.
[02:57:15] <Bytram> I was one click from completing the review/rework of a submission... hit the wrong key in the wrong tab. Gone. Yes, I've tried back-tab, and resurrecting from my closed tabs list. Oh well, it'll be faster the second time!
[02:57:24] <AzumaHazuki> aaaaaaaagh
[02:57:43] <chromas> Did you ctrl-shift-T?
[02:58:05] <Bytram> I tried all my majiks
[03:02:11] <Fnord666> ! hate when that happens
[03:02:44] <AzumaHazuki> i tend to keep an editor open and do periodic c/p into it to avoid this sort of thing...
[03:03:10] <Bytram> done
[03:03:35] <Bytram> under 6 minutes? Not bad!
[03:03:53] <Bytram> Told ya it would be faster the 2nd time!
[03:06:29] * AzumaHazuki hope you aren't going to have nightmares over this stuff
[03:08:00] <AzumaHazuki> it hits me really hard because I'm very much like Homura (and other obvious lesbian stereotypes from similar series). I even look a bit like her/them
[03:08:14] <AzumaHazuki> you know...tall, long hair, constant resting bitch face, always depressive
[03:10:04] <Bytram> That would sure disturb my equilibrium
[03:10:59] <AzumaHazuki> it honestly feels like these authors are rooting around in my head for plot ideas and going "now how can we make it abstract enough she doesn't suspect what we're doing?"
[03:11:31] <Bytram> I wonder how many other people are thinking the same thing?
[03:11:51] <AzumaHazuki> the name/avatar i'm using actually comes from another story like this...a girl who falls in love with her best friend/adoptive elder sister Hatsumi. Hatsumi is mute and albino, and has an odd, glowing green aura...
[03:12:20] <Bytram> Wizards's Rules... People tend to believe that which they want to be true, or that they fear to be true.
[03:12:30] <AzumaHazuki> on the night of her 16th birthday, Hazuki sneaks into her room and tries to steal a kiss, only for Hatsumi to call her name and disappear in an explosion of green light. and then things get weird...
[03:13:28] <Bytram> wait, Hazuki is the one turning 16?
[03:13:39] <Bytram> And wqhich one disappeared?
[03:14:12] <AzumaHazuki> Hatsumi disappears. Hazuki is 14 going on 15, and looks to be 20 something because of Hatsumi's bizarre aura...it's raw life force, you find out later
[03:14:49] <AzumaHazuki> Hazuki should have died as a little girl. she was always weak and underdeveloped, and was completely dependent on Hatsumi. She had a sudden puberty and basically just exploded
[03:15:26] <AzumaHazuki> which, it should eventually occur to the watcher, was a result of cumulative exposure to whatever energy Hatsumi was putting out, like radiation sickness in reverse
[03:16:22] <Bytram> lived life in overdrive?
[03:16:48] <Bytram> so, Hazuki exploded?
[03:16:54] <AzumaHazuki> Hatsumi went boom
[03:17:01] <Bytram> oh, k.
[03:17:24] <Bytram> Why oh why did they have names with the *same* first letter.
[03:17:46] <AzumaHazuki> Hazuki got left behind, wondering what the hell happened...and this, I kid you not, fat talking parakeet with a Kansai accent you could sharpen a knife on pops in through the window and goes "Too late! So, Eve's already turned 16 in ths world..."
[03:18:06] <Bytram> I still, after decades, stuggle with Peter vs Paul in the bible.
[03:18:27] <chromas> I think one got robbed to pay the other
[03:18:48] <AzumaHazuki> the names are symbolic. Hatsu (first/beginning) + mi (beauty). Notice how the bird refers to her as "Eve?"
[03:19:35] <AzumaHazuki> Azuma Hazuk is more or less "Jane Doe from Tokyo," "azuma" being the "to" character and "Hazuki" being a traditional if somewhat archaic girl's name, the old pronunciation of the 8th lunar month
[03:19:48] <Bytram> So the life-force rich mute albino with an aura, Hatsumi, is the one who exploded... and is the "adopted" older sister to sickly Hazuki?
[03:20:46] <AzumaHazuki> yes. the parents found her on a trip to Mt. Fuji on 1 June 1987. They'd been trying to conceive for years. Hazuki was born a month premature on 6 August 1988
[03:20:47] <Bytram> it would prolly be *much* easier to follow if I could see it, but I have far too little spare time to watch video.
[03:21:08] <Bytram> k
[03:21:09] <AzumaHazuki> don't worry, the show's trashy fanservice
[03:22:04] <AzumaHazuki> the long and short of it is, Hatsumi isn't human. Hazuki forces the parakeet-thing to take her with it...it leads her to a dimensional library, full of literal autobiographies, and the other librarian Lilith. Who as you may guess is looking for Eve
[03:22:45] <AzumaHazuki> and it turns out Eve jumps from world to world every 16 years, pulling the same disappearing act each time. she's left a trail of destruction and broken hearts 20,000+ years long in her wake
[03:23:02] <Bytram> that's a long time...
[03:23:26] <AzumaHazuki> yes. Lilith is not happy with her. not at all. and several other people who saw her "die" are trying to find her too...
[03:23:30] <Bytram> bet she messed up a few egyptians and mayans and...
[03:23:43] <AzumaHazuki> oh, it turns out if you're in her blast radius when she dies you stop aging at 20 or so
[03:24:07] <Bytram> wait, so kissing...
[03:24:22] <AzumaHazuki> yeah. Hazuki is going to be 20 for a long, long, long time
[03:24:25] * Bytram is *trying* to follow along
[03:24:40] <Bytram> sort of an Eve-lette?
[03:24:48] <AzumaHazuki> if only
[03:24:57] <Bytram> ::laughter::
[03:25:01] <Bytram> okay
[03:25:10] <Bytram> was up way too late last night
[03:25:20] <AzumaHazuki> the worst part of all this is, Eve does not give one single damn what she does to anyone. she only cares about exploring different universes and having fun
[03:25:39] <Bytram> thanks for sharing this background... helps paint a different picture for me.
[03:26:07] <Bytram> cause she can experience no consequences, how could she perceive them in others?
[03:26:13] <AzumaHazuki> exactly
[03:26:52] <AzumaHazuki> it's implied it takes Hazuki and Lilith centuries to find a book-world Eve hasn't already died in, and even then they end up chasing her through it to another hyperspace pocket dimension like the library
[03:27:36] <Bytram> okay, while I have this stuff somewhat sorted out atm, I'm gonna try and hold it there, let the stuff get settled in before I make a mistake that I will have to unlearn later!
[03:27:42] <Bytram> mega Tardis
[03:27:49] <AzumaHazuki> a tardis would be useful
[03:28:07] <Bytram> nod nod
[03:28:22] <Bytram> and so would some sleep. If I need some, I'm sure you do, too.
[03:28:31] <Bytram> take care of yourself, k?
[03:28:40] <AzumaHazuki> hope your dreams aren't too trippy from all this
[03:29:17] * Bytram rarely dreams, and even when I do, mostly only remember them for about 30 minutes and then they are gone...
[03:29:30] <AzumaHazuki> ugh...it all fits me too well. at the same canonical age as Hazuki, a girl i was very close with did something similar to me. played with, left behind, left to drift forever...
[03:29:37] <Bytram> that said... you better ask me tomorrow! =)
[03:30:06] <AzumaHazuki> Rebecca woke me up to what i was, taught me so much, was my closest friend. of couse i fell in love. and of course she was straight and threw me away at a good fraction of light speed
[03:30:07] <Bytram> ((( AzumaHazuki )))
[03:30:27] <AzumaHazuki> it's un-freaking-canny how closely this all matches up
[03:30:36] <Bytram> :sad face:
[03:31:04] <AzumaHazuki> seriously, i thought this studio was rummaging in my head for plot ideas
[03:31:28] <AzumaHazuki> i even SOUND like Hazuki if you adjust for language. she has the same quiet, low-alto voice. i sound exactly like her when speaking japanese
[03:31:38] <Bytram> It has been my experience that sharing a painful experience with someone else helps lighten the load. "If you have a problem, and share it, you halve your problem."
[03:32:00] <Bytram> oh...
[03:32:02] <Bytram> hold on
[03:32:05] <AzumaHazuki> this probably explains a lot about me, huh? drifting, lonely, always handling everything on my own

[03:32:45] <Bytram> =)
[03:32:57] <AzumaHazuki> man i miss sushi
[03:34:19] <Bytram> this is *great* -- I think you will recognize the music he is riffing on, never mind the lyrics!
[03:34:46] <Bytram> and on that note (!) I wish you sweet dreams.
[03:34:54] <AzumaHazuki> oh, you want to know the real kicker? one last one. my birthday
[03:34:59] <AzumaHazuki> 6 August 1988
[03:36:05] <AzumaHazuki> at what point does this stop being coincidence?

[19:36:07] <Bytram> =g rar files wikipedia
[19:36:08] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org(file_format) - RAR (file format) - Wikipedia
[20:59:21] <carny> can't just about any modern file archive utility extract rar now?
[20:59:55] <carny> if they had a foss rar creator that'd be something worth talking about
[21:00:27] <carny> rar is an excellent archive format and it needs a full foss implementation
[22:12:13] <chromas> Pretty sure 7zip creates rars
[22:13:42] * chromas sqipes Bytram's easy sub
[22:13:46] <chromas> Wonder if I should split it tho
[22:14:43] <carny> chromas: nope i confirmed it can't
[22:15:12] <carny> No alternative Open Source free RAR archiver utility (rar creator) is available: UNRAR is available as royalty-free and open source software for allowing extraction of RAR archives both on Linux and Microsoft Windows, but with the clause of not reverse engineering the code for implementing RAR compression which prevents development of royalty free rar archivers & compressors capable to create or add files to said format.
[22:15:28] <chromas> that's gay
[22:15:51] <chromas> Just implement it anonymously so there's nobody to sue
[22:15:51] <carny> there are some apps that will make them but they are just calling out to rar.exe to do the work
[22:16:00] <carny> i agree
[22:16:10] <carny> formats should always be fully open
[22:16:30] <chromas> I wonder how rar compares though. Maybe it's just kinda sucky
[22:17:04] <chromas> I think I've only seen rARs on the high seas anyhow
