[00:55:39] -!- SpallsHurgenson [SpallsHurgenson!~SpallsHur@Soylent/Users/656/SpallsHurgenson] has joined #Soylent
[00:57:18] <SpallsHurgenson> it has been four long weeks since my last cake, cookie, cracker, candy, chocolate, donut, pastry or other confectionary.
[00:57:35] <SpallsHurgenson> now it is time to gluttonize!
[00:58:46] <swiss> nice
[00:58:53] <swiss> your own versoin of lent or something
[00:58:54] <swiss> ?
[00:59:51] <SpallsHurgenson> I wanted to see if it was possible for a human being to go that long without real food :)
[01:00:21] <SpallsHurgenson> (it turns out, it's not. I died three times)
[01:00:28] <swiss> ah
[01:01:28] <SirFinkus> is resurrection a side effect?
[01:01:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> And are you going to gluttonize until you die a fourth time?
[01:01:35] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, sure, "ah", like there's nothing to it. Do you know how hard it is to claw yourself out of a grave? And I had to do it twice!
[01:02:03] <swiss> are you still in the grave from time #3?
[01:02:24] <SpallsHurgenson> no, I was cremated
[01:02:42] <swiss> oh
[01:02:50] <swiss> that must have been impressive to come back from
[01:02:52] <SpallsHurgenson> (like I'd stay in a grave... they don't install internet down there!)
[01:03:07] <swiss> just ask to be buried with an ethernet cable
[01:03:34] <SpallsHurgenson> I've tried; they won't do it
[01:03:39] <swiss> bummer
[01:03:46] <swiss> lets make a fake graveyard
[01:03:49] <SirFinkus> is that where you plug the cable in?
[01:03:56] <swiss> that's really an underground cube farm
[01:05:15] <SpallsHurgenson> working in a cube farm is a LIVING death
[01:07:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> working in a place that OUGHT to be a cube farm, but is actually an open-plan office, is even worse.
[01:07:37] <SirFinkus> open plan sounds like literal hell
[01:08:00] <SpallsHurgenson> just fart alot; eventually they'll give you your own office :)
[01:08:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> that's why I eat beans every day!
[01:09:15] <SpallsHurgenson> soy beans or lentil beans?
[01:09:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> usually black or pinto, because those are the two options the local-to-work Mexican place has.
[01:10:32] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm sorry, if its not soy or lentil, we're going to have to ask you to wait outside
[01:13:09] <takyon> yawn
[01:13:26] <swiss> SpallsHurgenson: EXACTLY
[01:13:39] <swiss> AndyTheAbsurd: i have an "openish" cube farm
[01:13:41] <SpallsHurgenson> whoa!
[01:13:45] <swiss> half height cubes
[01:14:03] <SpallsHurgenson> you turned it back on me! Impressive! I bow before your snarking-ninjitsu!
[01:14:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> swiss: I can't discern any practical difference between that and "open plan". (Technically my workplace is half-height cubes as well.)
[01:15:43] <swiss> AndyTheAbsurd: i've heard of some open plans where it's more of a "bench desk" thing
[01:15:49] <swiss> rather than having walls
[01:16:22] <swiss> i'd shoot myself if i had to sit next to someone with their shit spilling onto my "area" (which couldn't be easily defined, as there wouldn't be walls separating us"
[01:16:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, that was the head office at the last place...I was very glad I didn't work there.
[01:17:01] <swiss> they have bench desks in our CTOC
[01:17:05] <SpallsHurgenson> I've done open-office. its not great but not terrible... IF you like the people you work with
[01:17:12] <swiss> but i don't work in the CTOC
[01:17:24] <SpallsHurgenson> but if its a place of backbiters and assholes, it sucks :)
[01:17:44] <swiss> SpallsHurgenson: if it's a room of killjoys, it sucks
[01:18:08] <swiss> today we were listening to music in the ctoc (i go in there to kick my feet up) and one dude was like "HEY I AM GONNA GET ON A CALL CAN YOU TURN THAT OFF"
[01:18:21] <swiss> we turned it off, he talked at 4x the volume of the music we had on
[01:18:37] <swiss> if our music disturbed his call, there's no way his voice wouldn't have disturbed every last person in the room
[01:18:42] <SpallsHurgenson> "I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven "
[01:19:08] <swiss> i should have said that to him
[01:19:14] <SpallsHurgenson> I mean, if Sandra's going to listen to her headphones while she's working, I can listen to the radio while I'm collating
[01:20:46] * SpallsHurgenson goes on to discuss the new cover sheets of the TPS reports
[01:28:54] <takyon> The TTP Project
[01:29:55] <SpallsHurgenson> I hope "TTP" stand for "The TTP Project"?
[01:49:02] * SpallsHurgenson looks for a good movie to watch
[01:50:11] <takyon> http://www.marketwatch.com
[01:50:12] <^> ^ 03How Harry Styles may have hurt SeaWorld - MarketWatch
[01:50:17] <SirFinkus> they don't exist
[01:50:20] <takyon> how about Blackfish
[01:51:10] <SirFinkus> I'm watching saw 2
[01:51:13] <SirFinkus> fucking terrible movie
[01:51:21] <SirFinkus> interesting premise, terrible execution
[01:51:34] <SirFinkus> only thing worse that jump scares is fake jump scares
[01:51:40] * SpallsHurgenson decides on "28 Days Later"
[01:56:14] <SpallsHurgenson> ... and that's why you never let the monkeys out of the cages
[01:58:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> for a movie that I expected to be dumb, Rise of the Planet of the Apes was actually pretty good.
[01:58:31] <takyon> which one is that
[01:58:40] <takyon> the latest one?
[01:58:55] <SpallsHurgenson> the latest was terrible
[01:59:01] <SpallsHurgenson> the one before that was okay
[01:59:21] <swiss> AndyTheAbsurd: i agree
[01:59:29] <swiss> tons better than expected
[02:01:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah well....my expectations were VERY low, TBH.
[02:01:42] <SpallsHurgenson> the original 1974 movie was less cheesy (and had more realistic monkeys :)
[02:05:13] <takyon> you shud watch westworld
[02:05:25] <takyon> the 70s movie
[02:05:27] <SpallsHurgenson> "repent the end is extremely fucking nigh"
[02:05:56] <takyon> are you lIVEblagging 28 days later
[02:06:07] <SpallsHurgenson> lol
[02:06:28] <SpallsHurgenson> quick, everybody cue it up and we'll watch it together :)
[02:06:53] <takyon> i'm so bored i'm listening to bbc world service
[02:07:59] <SpallsHurgenson> it could be worse, you could be listening to us news
[02:08:12] <takyon> migrants.wav
[02:09:59] <SpallsHurgenson> this movie doesn't have a great story or that original an idea or that interesting characters or rivetting dialogue or impressive effects or cinematography... but it really knows how to set up the mood
[02:10:52] <takyon> very crucial
[02:11:04] <SpallsHurgenson> good soundtrack too
[02:11:27] <takyon> you should just set that movie down and watch Death Machine (1994)
[02:11:35] <takyon> best movie ever made'
[02:12:20] <SpallsHurgenson> imdb seems to disagree
[02:12:37] <takyon> it'sss got the takyon seal of approval
[02:17:56] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Sea Levels Have Gone Up 3 Inches Since 1992, But NASA Predicts Much Worse for the Future - http://sylnt.us - get-your-floaties
[02:19:11] <SpallsHurgenson> well... if the problem is that the ice is melting, we obviously need to cool things down a bit. Everyone turn your ACs on to high and open the windows wide!
[02:19:54] <takyon> there was something in the reg article on this
[02:20:09] <takyon> certain ice melt lowers sea level, others raise it
[02:20:11] <takyon> gotta chk
[02:22:05] <takyon> http://www.theregister.co.uk
[02:22:06] <^> ^ 03Manhattan-sized iceberg splits from glacier – and spotted FROM SPACE • The Register
[02:22:06] <SpallsHurgenson> there's a lot of ice that's NOT floating about in the ocean too
[02:22:20] <SpallsHurgenson> like, on all of Greenland and Antarctica
[02:23:32] <SpallsHurgenson> and - as far as USains are concerned, covering 99% of Canada :)
[02:31:17] <Deucalion> It's hard to spot the wood from the trees from the BS when it comes to ice and sea levels.... floating ice that melts is not going to raise sea level right? That's elementary physics, those bits of ice are already causing displacement, so makes no odds whether they are solid or liquid. Ice on land melting and draining into the sea that could be a problem. There's just so much hype around this subject it is hard to know what to believe.
[02:32:37] <SpallsHurgenson> (how is this guy intending to collect rainwater on the roof... with laundry baskets?)
[02:32:54] <Deucalion> wut?
[02:33:15] <Deucalion> put a bin liner in the laundry basket?
[02:33:43] <SpallsHurgenson> (in 28 Days Later, one of the characters is covered his roof with containers in hopes of collecting rainwater... lots of buckets, but he has a bunch of laundry baskets up there too :)
[02:34:18] <SpallsHurgenson> (and no, he didn't use any liners :)
[02:34:53] <Deucalion> Oh - a film. 28 Days Later, top of a tower block in London right?
[02:35:45] <SpallsHurgenson> yuppers
[02:35:56] <Deucalion> seen it before?
[02:36:34] <SpallsHurgenson> a couple times :)
[02:37:54] <takyon> 84 days later
[02:38:14] <Deucalion> damn... I can't be annoying spoiler man then :(
[02:38:53] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, sorry. I meant no, I've never seen this movie before
[02:39:44] <Deucalion> OK film - although it gets a bit Lord of the Flies style predictable later on.

[02:40:01] <^> ^ 03Rick and Morty (TV Series 2013– ) - IMDb
[02:40:59] <SpallsHurgenson> don't spoil it for me!
[02:41:13] * Deucalion zips mouth
[02:44:19] * Deucalion secretly believes Spalls has watched this 1000+ times and is now re-watching it to capture any missed detail that previously slipped by - some hidden meaning in one line of dialogue etc. ssshhh...
[02:44:32] <Deucalion> Heyyyyy! SpallsHurgenson, how's the movie!
[02:44:56] <SpallsHurgenson> naw, just like it 'cause it reminds me of my last vacation
[02:47:00] <takyon> only the 27th viewing
[02:47:02] <Deucalion> Must have been an..... interesting.... vacation.
[02:47:38] <takyon> that reminds me of a spanish short film where a dude just kills monsters on the beach
[02:47:57] <Deucalion> Did it involve much time on the top of tower blocks with buckets or scooting around the place in a black cab?
[02:49:13] <takyon> holy hell I remember the name of the movie
[02:49:15] <takyon> http://www.imdb.com
[02:49:17] <^> ^ 03Brutal Relax (2010) - IMDb
[02:49:18] <SpallsHurgenson> also running around half-naked and waving around a machete
[02:51:27] <Deucalion> heh - you never know - a machete could be useful against automatic weapons, razor wire, trained military personnel and claymores.... waaaaait.... is this hollywood?
[02:58:35] <SpallsHurgenson> worse... Manchester!
[03:00:40] <SpallsHurgenson> Doctor Who to the rescue!
[03:01:41] <Deucalion> Manchester is just fine - I should know, I was brought up there. Just stay the hell away from Moss Side after dark - well stay away from it 30 years ago.. I have no idea if it is any better these days. It was a sink-hole back then.
[03:02:03] <takyon> manchester
[03:02:38] <Deucalion> takyon, your wisdom is well... a cornucopia
[03:02:43] <takyon> isn't that an islamic state city
[03:05:47] <Deucalion> yes takyon, it is, mosques with radical clerics on every corner, people running around with AK-47s everywhere you look... extremists and terrorists everywhere.......
[03:05:55] <Deucalion> or, perhaps not...
[03:06:06] <takyon> the pause was deciding whether to make that joke
[03:06:07] <Deucalion> Why not visit and find out for yourself?
[03:06:25] <takyon> I was trying to recall which city fox news called islamic
[03:06:41] <SpallsHurgenson> New York!
[03:07:58] <SpallsHurgenson> Hollywood!
[03:10:53] <Deucalion> Leeds, Bradford, Luton.......etc. etc. areas of high immigrant concentration within the UK - this shit really annoys me, most immigrants are fleeing the stupidity in the middle-east and seeking refuge to live a normal life and twattish media outlets paint them all the same - it's a fucking witchhunt - used to be reds under the bed, onlt now it is muslims inder the bed about to murder us in our sleep..... purrleas.... we're supposed to suck this
[03:10:53] <Deucalion> stuff up again?
[03:13:35] <takyon> yeah it's not all that bad
[03:13:51] <takyon> you can just convert after all badumtish
[03:15:05] <takyon> slowlent news
[03:15:13] <Deucalion> takyon, I have some blinders you may find comfortable.
[03:15:27] <takyon> i'm just avin a giggle m8
[03:17:34] <Deucalion> rite m8 innit
[03:19:02] <takyon> did we ever run a story on NSA revelations resulting in losses for Cisco, U.S. cloud companies, etc.
[03:19:33] <Deucalion> not that I recall, but I am not definitive.
[03:19:38] <takyon> there's this thing: https://soylentnews.org
[03:19:39] <^> ^ 03SN article: Cisco Letter to Obama Objecting to NSA Implants 04(65 comments)
[03:19:47] <takyon> but I'm thinking of a study that quantified losses
[03:20:32] <Deucalion> sounds interesting - how to go about quantifying? On the word of the corps themselves?
[03:20:58] <takyon> analysts quantify tech industry profits all the time
[03:21:02] <takyon> see: Gartner
[03:21:26] <takyon> from a mix of sources, not limited to the corps themselves
[03:21:48] <takyon> Study: NSA Spying May Cost U.S. Companies $35 Billion
[03:22:17] <takyon> yay I found it

[03:22:28] <takyon> I submitted it wooow
[03:22:43] <takyon> my user page has too many submissions on it for me to find anything easily anymore
[03:23:31] <Deucalion> the empty can rattles the most :P
[03:24:46] <takyon> there, added 2 links

[03:24:55] <takyon> we're #editorial now
[03:31:37] <Deucalion> We are legion.
[03:40:55] <SpallsHurgenson> aww, I wanna be legion too
[03:42:43] <Deucalion> put some pants on Spalls.... no-one wants to see that :P
[03:44:31] <SpallsHurgenson> then why do I have all these crumpled $1 bills?
[03:44:53] <Deucalion> I dare not ask
[03:46:27] <SpallsHurgenson> 2 more hours on this file copy...
[03:46:27] <ciri> 3
[03:47:07] <SpallsHurgenson> I sure am glad I have ciri on /ignore
[03:48:06] <Deucalion> best thing to do during a memcheck or a long copy - sleep. It's underrated.
[03:49:14] <Deucalion> The result will be the same sleep or not
[03:49:47] <SpallsHurgenson> but then I'd miss the exciting progression from 47% to 48% to 49%!
[03:50:12] <Deucalion> to 99% to 51% etc....
[03:50:58] <Deucalion> There is nothing to be gained by watching a faux progress bar
[03:51:45] <SpallsHurgenson> the progress bar is real for file copies. it's the time remaining that's imaginary :)
[03:51:58] <SpallsHurgenson> and it's soothing, like blinkenlights :)
[03:52:26] <takyon> spalls were you volunteering to be an editor
[03:52:39] <SpallsHurgenson> no, I just wanted multiple personalities :)
[03:53:26] * SpallsHurgenson makes it a point to never volunteer for anything that smacks of work :)
[03:53:29] <takyon> being insane would be cool i guess
[03:54:05] <SpallsHurgenson> especially unpaid work :)

[10:37:21] <SirFinkus> oh not the gall bladder thing
[10:37:40] <SirFinkus> probably not something you want popcorn for
[10:37:47] <crutchy> heh
[10:38:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, lacking a gall bladder makes starches difficult
[10:38:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> like pizza now gives my buddy back in OK the shits after he got his out.
[10:39:04] <crutchy> yeah she'll prolly have to be a bit careful what she eats
[10:39:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> glad the surgery went well though
[10:41:14] <crutchy> few planning fuckups along the way but finally got there. i'm kinda hoping that's it, but there's a chance she has to go to melbourne to get a stone removed from a tube somewhere, which blows :/
