[00:16:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> everything changed when the fire poops attacked
[00:17:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> 5GHz wifi on the desktop now, zOMG so much better.
[00:18:17] <cmn32480> 802.11a or 802.11ac
[00:20:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> 802.11a I think, it's coming from an Asus RT-N56U router.
[00:20:38] <AndyTheAbsurd> a/b/g/n support, and the card also supports all of those.
[00:20:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> Now that's it work - time to slap the side back on the computer.
[00:21:05] <cmn32480> hehe
[00:22:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> it'll be nice to not have my internet go to shit when the microwave is on.
[00:22:55] <cmn32480> yup
[00:24:07] <cmn32480> i ahve a custoemr that has that problem
[00:25:00] <cmn32480> they refuse to believe it.... and it makes me giggle every time they call in about the problem near the break room
[00:25:25] <Ethanol-fueled> It's not like they both use the same operating frequency or anything.
[00:25:47] <Ethanol-fueled> Had that problem before I got a desktop to jack directly into the router with copper.
[00:26:14] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'd do that but running a wire out here would be a MASSIVE pain in the ass.
[00:26:51] <cmn32480> get a bigger antenna
[00:27:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> This room is an addition to the house, so I'd have to drill through 10+ inches of masonry to run a wire out here.
[00:28:15] <Ethanol-fueled> Damn, that sucks.
[00:28:27] <cmn32480> get a bigger antenna
[00:28:33] <cmn32480> not a bigger drill bit
[00:30:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> cmn32480: I did a get a bigger antenna. I went from http://www.amazon.com to http://www.amazon.com

[00:30:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> also: fuck you, exec
[00:31:50] <cmn32480> yeah... that'd make a difference.

[00:57:37] <Ethanol-fueled> is exec busted, crutchy?
[01:00:22] <cmn32480> isn't exec busted by design?
[01:02:03] <Ethanol-fueled> after being in /pol/ for awhile I always think of Australians as legendary shitposters.
[01:02:56] -!- Ethanol-fueled has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:03:23] <crutchy_> exec isn't busted
[01:03:30] <crutchy_> some of its scripts are
[01:03:50] <crutchy_> bot itself runs ok (well, as 'ok' as a php bot can run)
[01:04:46] <crutchy_> tis why i designed the bot to run scripts as separate processes; so if a script busts it doesn't take the bot down with it

[01:05:27] <crutchy_> wtf is /pol/>
[01:05:29] <crutchy_> ?
[01:05:38] <crutchy_> is that a reddit thing?
[01:06:20] <cmn32480> I think so... but wiht the implosion at reddit you might as well get out the popcorn
[01:06:51] <crutchy_> i don't use reddit anyway. i only made the inference cos of the slashes
[01:09:52] <SpallsHurgenson> reddit management is taking tips from Dice :)
[01:12:12] <crutchy_> i dunno much about reddit. from here i got wind that someone seemingly significant was fired, but that doesn't mean anything to me. but then i wouldn't bat an eyelid if zuckerberg was fired though
[01:13:41] * SpallsHurgenson eagerly awaits the creation of soyreddit :)
[01:14:12] <crutchy_> soylentit
[01:14:31] <crutchy_> more people will come if we have tit

[01:15:38] <SpallsHurgenson> I've never really done reddit; it never appealed to me. It felt like a slightly more civilized 4chan but still not really anything worth reading
[01:16:04] <crutchy_> dunno anything about 4chan either
[01:16:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Reddit is totally establishment
[01:16:30] <crutchy_> must be a northern hemisphere thing
[01:16:36] <SpallsHurgenson> me neither, since I always got the impression 4chan was a much more sophomoric reddit :)
[01:16:39] <Ethanol-fueled> They do shadowbans, and have censored some Snowden stuff.
[01:18:41] * crutchy_ was watching a cold war doco on youtube. i didn't realise that it was the chinese that belted the crap outta UN forces in the korean war
[01:19:02] <SpallsHurgenson> at least with slashdot comments I can pretend there's a chance I might learn something :)
[01:19:12] <crutchy_> about hosts files?
[01:20:42] <SpallsHurgenson> sadly, I think that guy has given up
[01:21:19] <crutchy_> pity. he was fun to troll
[01:22:06] <crutchy_> all i had to do was mention the dreaded line 5 python indentation bug and he would spit chips
[01:22:52] <crutchy_> he denied it even existed for ages
[01:22:59] <crutchy_> then he blamed it on /.
[01:23:01] <crutchy_> :D
[01:23:17] <cmn32480> apk was here for a while
[01:23:37] <crutchy_> aw. i missed him?
[01:23:39] <cmn32480> if you search the really old comments, you can find him
[01:24:04] <crutchy_> wasn't a fake? there were a few fake usernames near the beginning
[01:24:05] <cmn32480> from roughly site launch (feb 2014) to jun/July 2014
[01:24:15] <cmn32480> this was the real guy
[01:24:29] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm a fake username!
[01:24:44] <cmn32480> obviously I wasn't on staff then, but the story I got was that he was contacted and asked to stop posting the hosts file thing
[01:24:47] <crutchy_> you just wear fake pants
[01:24:51] <cmn32480> adn we love you anyway spalls
[01:24:56] <SpallsHurgenson> I killed and ate the real SpallsHurgenson back in November!
[01:25:06] <crutchy_> but i like hosts files
[01:25:10] <crutchy_> mwahahaha!
[01:27:59] * SpallsHurgenson installs the newest win10 preview iso
[01:28:16] <cmn32480> doing it in a vm?
[01:28:19] <crutchy_> ew. your kind aren't welcome here :p
[01:28:25] <cmn32480> <finger
[01:28:27] <cmn32480> >
[01:28:33] <SpallsHurgenson> oh god yes, I'm not polluting a real machine with this!
[01:28:34] <cmn32480> I'm workgin on rebuilding a win7 machine
[01:29:01] * crutchy_ neither admits nor denies he's currently on a windows laptop
[01:29:58] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't mind Windows... but Win10 is Microsoft re-issuing Win8 while giving users the finger
[01:30:24] <cmn32480> I haven't installed it in a VM yet....
[01:30:34] <cmn32480> though I do have extra space on the server now
[01:31:06] <crutchy_> when i (finally) get my new work machine i'll chuck debian on a vm and try to do some work in that
[01:31:11] <crutchy_> dell--
[01:31:11] <Bender> karma - dell: -3
[01:31:16] <Ethanol-fueled> dells rock.
[01:31:27] <crutchy_> they're shit
[01:31:28] <cmn32480> that's what I'm rebuilding actually
[01:31:37] <Ethanol-fueled> no they're not, they're very linux-friendly
[01:31:42] <crutchy_> actually their servers are ok
[01:31:43] <cmn32480> they are excellent as long as you stay away from the consumer stuff
[01:31:49] <crutchy_> alienware is shit
[01:31:59] <Ethanol-fueled> alienware is OVERPRICED shite.
[01:32:03] <cmn32480> I was thinking of the Inspiron line
[01:32:29] <crutchy_> i think the vm server i set up at work is a dimension
[01:32:36] <crutchy_> has been pretty good
[01:32:38] <cmn32480> the Latitude business line has served me well for nearly 15 years
[01:32:52] <cmn32480> that woudl be a consumer grade desktop
[01:33:06] <cmn32480> my last VM's got set up on my shiny new VRTX
[01:33:09] <crutchy_> its an ex-workstation
[01:33:12] <crutchy_> dual xeon
[01:34:19] <crutchy_> maybe it wasn't a dimension. can't remember
[01:34:21] <cmn32480> precision
[01:34:25] <crutchy_> yeah prolly
[01:34:39] <SpallsHurgenson> dells aren't great but I tend to trust them more than most big-name OEMs. I mean, what's the alternative? HP? Samsung? Acer?
[01:34:40] <cmn32480> if it was a dual Xeon, it was either a server class or a Precision Workstation
[01:35:17] <crutchy_> has a case that looks like this: http://www.locomputers.nl
[01:35:45] <crutchy_> 12g ram. works nice as a hypervisor
[01:36:11] <cmn32480> like the part where it says "Dell Precision"

[01:38:47] <crutchy_> can't remember what brand nas servers we use at work. they're not dell though

[02:07:32] <Ethanol-fueled> What should I have for dinner tonight?
[02:07:42] <cmn32480> vagina?
[02:07:55] <Ethanol-fueled> I am seeing a woman later but I ain't gonna eat it.
[02:08:14] <crutchy_> its probably been mixed with sausage already?
[02:08:17] <cmn32480> OK... fish. tastes the same
[02:08:22] <Ethanol-fueled> Probably not even gonna hit it. I already j****d o** today.
[02:08:41] <cmn32480> you can do that more than once you knokw
[02:08:43] <Ethanol-fueled> That's what I'm gonna tell her if she wants to come back to my place.
[02:08:55] <crutchy_> aaaaaand on that note i might go play some bf1942

[02:25:35] <Bytram> on second thought there's a shift in there already, so it was already gonna become 'C'; your variation was redundant

[02:44:47] <SpallsHurgenson> are you implying I'm dim?
[02:49:35] <Bytram> nah, that'd mean you had the 'brightness' turned down!
[02:49:53] <Bytram> afk, biab
[02:50:21] <unusually_quiet> What he's saying SpallsHurgenson, is that you're *intentionally* dim.

[03:06:49] <Ethanol-fueled> I just found out that one of my friends, who is Mexican but is also racist and idolises hitler, was punched in the nose by 2 skinheads he tried to befriend.
[03:07:54] <Bytram> dialated - keeps hitting the wrong buttons while trying to call someone

[03:43:54] <juggs> Bytram, you still around?
[03:44:12] * Ethanol-fueled raises glass to incorp
[03:44:35] <Bytram> juggs: nope!
[03:44:47] * chromas passes out cookies and gas
[03:44:52] <SpallsHurgenson> free lifetime subscriptions to all in celebration!
[03:45:00] * Ethanol-fueled huffs chromas' gas
[03:45:18] * cmn32480 passes out from chromas's gas
[03:45:21] <Bytram> juggs: was just winding up things... what can I do for ya
[03:47:08] <Bytram> For the emacs fans here... http://www.mew.org

[03:48:26] <SpallsHurgenson> people don't REALLY use emacs, do they? I'm pretty sure it's just an april fool's joke that never died...

[03:52:48] <Ethanol-fueled> Ugh...well, I'm about to be dragged out of my apartment kicking and screaming by a Wagon-burner woman who wants some company over a couple beers.
[03:52:58] <Ethanol-fueled> Adios. For now, at least.
[03:54:11] -!- Ethanol-fueled has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[03:56:11] <chromas> He should've asked if she's interested in his extension program
[03:56:21] <cmn32480> lol
[03:56:29] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm... my internet usage was down almost 20GB last month.
[03:58:15] <cmn32480> means you didn't watch enough pron
[03:58:22] <cmn32480> back in a sec
[03:58:24] <Bytram> SpallsHurgenson: that'd be my internet usage so far this year.
[03:58:29] <cmn32480> have to test some instructions
[03:58:30] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm trying, I'm trying!
[03:58:46] <cmn32480> we really need to get bytram a real internet connection
[03:58:54] <SpallsHurgenson> 20GB in six months? I did more than that on dial-up :)
[03:58:55] <cmn32480> this whole dial up thing is just NOT working out
[03:59:13] -!- cmn32480 has quit [Quit: See You Later]
[04:04:31] <Bytram> well, I average just under 2 GB per month. so I'm maybe up to 12 GBso far this year.
[04:04:53] <unusually_quiet> How do you average 2GB per month? O_o
[04:06:29] <SpallsHurgenson> I think I did 2GB just sitting here on IRC tonight :)
[04:07:00] <Bytram> just try and go over 2GB /month at a connection rate of, at most, 921.6 kbps

[04:09:01] <SpallsHurgenson> nope
[04:09:05] <cmn32480> damnit
[04:09:06] <SpallsHurgenson> we can't hear you
[04:09:08] <SpallsHurgenson> it didn't work

[04:09:22] <juggs> o/
[04:09:24] <cmn32480> same knuckleheads!
[04:10:09] <cmn32480> so if I leave... does it still say I'm here?
[04:10:31] <juggs> Who know
[04:10:35] <juggs> Try leaving
[04:10:40] <cmn32480> I did!
[04:10:48] <SpallsHurgenson> you could reach 2GB at 921.6kbps in just under six hours. I don't think you're trying hard enough, Bytram :)
[04:11:06] <cmn32480> give the man a break... he has geriatric hardware
[04:11:19] <SpallsHurgenson> maybe he has a very small hard-drive :)
[04:11:23] <cmn32480> thank you juggs
[04:11:31] <cmn32480> not soon
[04:11:33] <unusually_quiet> That's no excuse, he should pull his weight like the rest of us!
[04:11:34] <cmn32480> I ahve the cure for that
[04:11:46] <unusually_quiet> Someone's gotta use the tubes.
[04:11:50] <Bytram> umm, that's the MAX data rate... I often see actual speeds of 10 KB/sec, with an ocasional spurt upto 55-65 KB/sec
[04:12:09] <juggs> cmn32480, you raised no issues with my wiki walkthrough..... can I take from that it was sufficient?
[04:12:09] <cmn32480> careful there speed racer
[04:12:32] <cmn32480> yes. it was sufficient.
[04:12:40] <cmn32480> but I had a half clue what I was doing too
[04:12:53] <Bytram> cmn32480: it'll think you're here for about 4 or 5 minutes... then you'll get "dropped" or loged-out or whateveah and then you can be yourself again
[04:12:54] <cmn32480> I almsot got my own bouncer working on my synology

[04:14:07] <Bytram> nodnod
[04:14:16] <cmn32480> well done juggs. well done
[04:14:54] <cmn32480> what connection do you ahve tht you see 10KB?
[04:15:18] <cmn32480> Bytram - Installing update 5 of 203... and this is still the first round
[04:15:30] <Bytram> same one... depends on the weather, phase of moon, etc.
[04:15:37] <cmn32480> DSL?
[04:15:41] <cmn32480> cellular?

[04:16:12] <Bytram> tethered 1X cell phone, to be clear
[04:16:17] <cmn32480> smart phone?
[04:16:25] <cmn32480> on an unlimited data plan?
[04:16:30] <Bytram> as in: it is not a 2G, 3G, 4G, or LTE.
[04:16:42] <cmn32480> oh
[04:16:55] <cmn32480> you have a cellasaurus
[04:17:05] <cmn32480> I thoguht they were extinct
[04:17:09] <Bytram> well, I'd be hard pressed to consume much more unless I set up a download when I am not home... but then I'd not have a phone!
[04:17:48] <juggs> cmn32480, you can set scrollback per channel in the web interface if you feel the need etc. ZNC makes much more sense once you get one network setup. At least it did for me. I guess I'm a see it do it person than a all in the mind person :) Glad the wiki blah helped. Probably needs some help on formatting and wording, but at least it has the requisite in there. I can get others setup now.
[04:17:51] <Bytram> well, it's about oh-dark-twenty over here and my bed is calling my name
[04:18:00] <SpallsHurgenson> but excessive consumption is our new god! You can grab 2GB in about 3 days at 10KB/S. Do not disappoint god! :)
[04:18:10] <juggs> Thank fuck, I have been procrastinatng on that for weeks.
[04:18:30] <cmn32480> I;ll work the formatting tomorrow juggs

[04:23:33] <cmn32480> the only thing to fear, is fear itself.
[04:23:53] <SpallsHurgenson> bunnies. there are always bunnies to be afraid of
[04:24:16] <SpallsHurgenson> that, and dangling participles
[04:25:03] <cmn32480> adn pants
[04:25:25] <juggs> Well if you would wear pants there would be less dangling particles Spalls.
[04:26:32] <cmn32480> particles is right

[04:33:21] <juggs> Oh wait - participles....you were going for language plays. I read it as particle. I blame wiki, I can't go near that without a beer in hand. Something, excuse, excuse, something dark side. It's 4th July, don't you guys have something to celebrate, set off some fireworks to celebrate the incorporation of SN... or was it something else...

[08:21:14] <NCommander> Correction
[08:21:17] <NCommander> It appears the entire box died
[08:21:47] <crutchy_> a dead box is no fun
[08:22:02] <crutchy_> unless you're a necrophiliac
[08:22:18] <NCommander> crutchy_, something has gone horridly wrong
[08:22:41] * crutchy_ points at chromas
[08:24:06] <NCommander> Looks like LDAP suicided again
[08:24:42] <crutchy_> hmm. has ldap ever worked properly?
[08:25:22] <crutchy_> ldap shall henceforth be known as ldapd
[08:25:45] <crutchy_> and whoever programmed it is the devil incarnate
[08:28:06] * chromas wolf whistles
[08:28:25] <chromas> No wait. Nonchalant is what I wanted. Damn
[08:28:38] <crutchy_> busted
[08:28:53] * chromas takes back that miswhistle
[08:29:11] <NCommander> crutchy_, chromas Gravis: slapd suidiced and that hung slashd which prevented the RSS feed from updated. I just hit it with a hammer, they should come back within 10-15 minutes
[08:29:13] * crutchy_ puts a brassiere back on chromas' bust
[08:29:33] <crutchy_> saved by hammerd
[08:29:49] <chromas> crutchy: not using the api yet? Or did they take it back?
[08:30:12] <chromas> (or it's too much work)
[08:30:24] <crutchy_> the comments feed is probably one of the few scripts that works, so i aint fuckin with it
[08:30:51] <chromas> Heh 👍
[08:31:05] <crutchy_> well, until i get bored at least :D
[08:31:12] * NCommander fires up fallout and tries to continue operation distraction
[08:31:34] <crutchy_> apparently there's a game called defcon that looks pretty fun
[08:31:42] <crutchy_> sort of similiar to plague
[08:33:22] <chromas> Is it a dice game?
[08:33:35] <chromas> Plague (beta)
[08:34:09] <Gravis> NCommander: how did the death of one daemon cause another to hang? seems like a design flaw.
[08:35:00] <NCommander> Gravis, without LDAP, UNIX accounts broke, which hung slashd when it tried to run a script as slash (user)
[08:35:02] <chromas> You're invited to peek into the slashd code nest ;)
[08:35:11] <NCommander> Gravis, wer've had nothing but constant trouble with LDAP, its being replaced with Hesiod
[08:39:21] <crutchy_> just replace it all with systemd
[08:40:10] <Gravis> systemd wouldn't be so bad if it weren't a tangled web of poorly (if at all) documented interfaces
[08:41:04] <Gravis> the concept of systemd isn't bad, it's the implementation
[08:41:05] <crutchy_> exec's comment feed is prolly gunna start a floodfest when the xml feed starts working again
[08:41:46] <Gravis> crutchy_: i look forward to it. :)

[08:59:01] <FatPhil> the concept of non-human-readable binary logs is fucking stupid
[08:59:02] <crutchy_> they should allocate pids in reverse order
[08:59:17] <crutchy_> so pid 1 is the least significant
[09:00:39] <FatPhil> just patch ps and kill so that it gives you 65536-x rather than x

[17:27:06] <takyon> yeah
[17:27:16] <takyon> #1 sorrow: not living in america
[17:27:39] <nick> i wouldnt go that far, but whatever floats your boat
[17:27:55] <cmn32480> celebrate the relase of those troublesome colonies nick
[17:28:50] <nick> and how we rewrite history around those events, depending on the context
[17:30:33] <nick> the government still retaisn the real 'troublesome' ones, for geopolitical and commercial reasons
[17:30:39] <nick> retains*
[17:31:57] <nick> the less troublesome ones still have the stamp of approval, being in the commonwealth with the queen on the money and as official head of state
[17:32:11] <cmn32480> the context of history is in the eye of the person relating the tale
[17:32:18] <nick> 'merica being a special case
[17:32:37] <nick> cmn32480, it also helps to have perspective offered from the actual places in which independence and empire happened
[17:32:38] <cmn32480> oh.. we are special all right
[17:32:56] <nick> just the official narrative from the UK perspective
[17:33:01] <nick> it's quite convinient like that
[17:33:16] <cmn32480> adn what we have is the official narrative from the rebels perspective
[17:33:31] <nick> certain countries didn't want independence, but the UK gov, for financial reasons pushed them into independence
[17:34:06] <nick> and then after doing the propaganda runs for some time, then left the countries to go fuck themselves, as we didnt want to pay the bills anymore
[17:34:21] <nick> since wasn't profitable anymore after slavery and civil rights stuff was officially officially over
[17:34:38] <nick> just kept a handful of little ones for geopolitical reasons and for use as tax havens
[17:34:59] <cmn32480> that seems to be quite the honest world view.... kinda refreshing
[17:35:01] <nick> but no, it's much easier to go 'look at the freedom and democracy'

[17:37:09] <takyon> beer: america's only growth industry
[17:37:33] <nick> and yet failing to export it
[17:37:49] <Popeidol> they're definitely exporting it
[17:38:08] <Popeidol> the last few years budweiser has had a huge push in aus
[17:38:11] <nick> nothing especially good or non-generic though
[17:38:14] <nick> budweiser does not count
[17:38:32] <nick> budweiser and coors just blah.
[17:38:55] <Popeidol> yeah, I don't know anybody who actually bought budweiser/millers/coors
[17:38:59] <takyon> craft beer has exploded
[17:39:00] <Popeidol> but I assume someone must be
[17:39:16] <nick> takyon, i'm aware of that, but it seems to be hyper local
[17:39:28] <nick> cant get the craft beers out of state often, let alone on another continent
[17:39:53] <Popeidol> some of the bigger craft brews get over here
[17:39:57] <takyon> some beers are getting good distribution across the states, but out of continent is tougher
[17:40:09] <Popeidol> but they're facing a lot of local competition there
[17:40:27] <nick> aus has good local beer anyway
[17:40:40] <nick> for my time in aus, i drank the local stuff of various brands
[17:40:46] <nick> never felt like i was missing out
[17:40:51] <Popeidol> what decade?
[17:41:04] <nick> the last one
[17:41:12] <Popeidol> then your impression was correct
[17:41:49] <nick> didnt even get into specialist ones, just the generics for the most part

[17:42:32] <nick> if i could get VB here, i'd be quite happy, but not so easy.
[17:42:34] <Popeidol> cascade and coopers do some pretty damn good mainstream beer
[17:42:59] <nick> Popeidol, it's like the american beers... all those good aussie beers, what do we get?
[17:43:01] <nick> Fosters...
[17:43:12] <Popeidol> ...I have never had fosters
[17:43:23] <nick> heh, im not surprised
[17:43:23] <Popeidol> the only places I've been that serve it were in england
[17:43:26] <takyon> the biggest "craft" breweries are Yuengling, Boston Beer/Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada which I'm drinking this very moment, New Belgium, Gambrinus, Lagunitas (my previous beer), Deschutes, Bell's, Stone, etc.
[17:43:30] <nick> when i was in aus it was very hard to find
[17:43:42] <nick> maybe get like a single row of bottles hidden away somewhere
[17:43:47] <nick> but it's 'the' aussie beer over here
[17:44:01] <Popeidol> it's usually in the international beer section here
[17:44:06] <Popeidol> if it's there at all
[17:44:28] <nick> carlton? nope. VB? nope. coopers? nope. boags? nope.
[17:45:15] <Popeidol> standard tactic: you do not export beer, you export a license for somebody else to make a terrible bland imitation of your beer
[17:45:39] <Popeidol> even if you could buy it, you probably wouldn't want to
[17:46:35] <nick> when they have VB, it seems to be the real stuff
[17:46:46] <nick> but it's a rare thing to find it, and is usually quite expensive
[17:47:02] <Popeidol> yeah, I don't think anybody else has been brave enough to sign on to produce it
[17:47:05] <nick> 6x375ml VB is £11
[17:47:18] <nick> if you can find it in tesco, or ocado.
[17:47:46] <nick> although booze is quite expensive over there, so it's probably comparable
[17:48:07] <Popeidol> jesus christ booze is cheap in the UK
[17:48:11] <Popeidol> that blew my mind
[17:48:13] <nick> aye
[17:48:54] <nick> as long as you're not drinking in a pub, it's still very cheap to get drunk here
[17:49:12] <Popeidol> even in the pub it's pretty great by comparison
[17:49:30] <nick> at £4 a pint, i disagree
[17:49:59] <nick> altough you can probably still get a pint for £2 in wetherspoons if you're not too picky
[17:51:17] <Popeidol> a little under 4 is the lowest you can expect where I live
[17:51:23] <Popeidol> if you get in on a special
[17:51:26] <nick> but i will agree, it's very expensive in aus
[17:51:47] <Popeidol> not as big a difference as I recall, but I went there when the exchange rate was better
[17:52:06] <nick> just kind of adapted to out when i was out there, $18 for 6x carlton draught, and $22 for 4x coke+whiskey
[17:52:07] <nick> if i recall
[17:52:46] <Popeidol> that sounds pretty accurate
[17:52:50] <nick> exchange rate was worse for me, i planned before and went during the financial crisis
[17:53:10] <nick> so i watched myself lose $100aud a day on the exchange rate
[17:53:19] <nick> during the last few weeks on waiting to leave
[17:54:07] <nick> didnt stop me drinking more there than anywhere else i've been....
[17:54:17] <Popeidol> well of course not, you were in australia
[17:54:19] <Popeidol> you had to fit in
[17:54:49] <nick> and i dont even mind vegemite...
[17:55:51] <Popeidol> you sound borderline converted
[17:56:19] <Popeidol> tip: wait until we change government and get some form of the NBN rolled out further before you move over her
[17:56:25] <nick> i spent most of the time out there with aussies, and it was one of the best times of my life
[17:57:01] <nick> i had a lot of fun and would like to spend a lot more time over there
[17:57:05] <takyon> tesco value lemonade
[17:58:05] <nick> when i got back to the UK, i had developed a bit of an aussie accent. it's easier to talk to people as they talk to you, rather than speaking back in your own terms and potentially causing issues.
[17:58:07] <nick> takyon?
[17:58:49] <Popeidol> you also tend to pick up verbal cues from people who you want to be with more
[17:59:02] <Popeidol> or those who you identify with
[18:00:01] <Popeidol> so I think we've decided your future and can expect you to emigrate within a few years
[18:02:04] <nick> that too, but it's something i've always done, adapted to the situation - i still do it every day at work, depending if im talking to a CEO or a low skilled subcontractor as two extremes, different expectations and comfort levels in the style of communication.
[18:02:40] <nick> Popeidol, it would be nice. I'm working on being decentralized right now so i can go wherever the beer is cheap, or whatever else motivates at the time.

[19:23:59] <Ethanol-fueled> Not only is that rude, but it's fucking cheating.
[19:24:10] <Ethanol-fueled> I called a whole family "fucking trash" for doing that.
[19:24:29] <Ethanol-fueled> I told them verbatim, "you're all trashy. You're fucking trash. Trash. "
[19:24:45] <Ethanol-fueled> "Fuck you"
[19:25:12] <Ethanol-fueled> Then I saw another person doing the same thing and I told her what I had told that other family, and everybody behind me cheered, hahahah

[19:29:31] <nick> manners get in the way of consumption
[19:29:32] <Ethanol-fueled> Killed my buzz. Why I left the beach actually. I knew that if I got trashed there I'd be spending all day picking fights with assholes who did that. Not to mention that the beach was crawling with cops.
[19:31:53] <takyon> just got here will read
[19:32:20] <Ethanol-fueled> some people, takyon. Some people just have no manners, no class.

[19:35:37] <Ethanol-fueled> I will likely waste today on the interwebs, unless I get a visit from my butt-buddy out of town.
