[00:02:43] <cmn32480> painful is the name
[00:03:15] <cmn32480> but I am sitting here chillin' in my SN hoodie
[00:03:32] <cmn32480> how's life treating you today Deucalion?
[00:04:15] <Deucalion> ooh - you procured an SN hoodie? how's the quality?
[00:04:26] <cmn32480> they are pretty nice
[00:04:30] <cmn32480> I'm rather pleased with it
[00:04:39] <Deucalion> Good :)
[00:04:51] <cmn32480> I'd not pay full price on it, but Zazzle runs coupons regularly for 30-50% off
[00:05:21] <cmn32480> wife says she don't want one.... so technically I have 2
[00:05:34] <cmn32480> but I hvaen't brought the other one home form the office yet
[00:06:02] <Deucalion> Washed it yet? Some clothing goes all screwy and warped on first wash. But I get the impression zazzle ship pretty decent quality stuff.
[00:06:26] <cmn32480> it has been through the laundry at least twice
[00:06:34] <cmn32480> screen rpint has held up so far
[00:07:02] <cmn32480> it isn't a super thick hoodie... but comfy
[00:07:38] <Deucalion> As for my life... I'd say but I don't want to douse #soylent in profanity and rants about my current problems. I'll just surmise as "could be better" and we leave it there :)
[00:07:41] <cmn32480> my kids think it funny to come up behind me put the hood up and then pull the strings to make my face all scoonched up
[00:08:25] <cmn32480> I'ms orry man.. anything I can do to help?
[00:08:31] <Deucalion> ha - I still do that to people now... I'll grow up one day :D

[02:46:06] <SirFinkus> http://www.dote.osd.mil
[02:50:18] <SirFinkus> I can picture whoever wrote this thing cursing and trying to sound as neutral as possible
[02:50:24] <SirFinkus> although the hate does come through
[02:50:48] <SirFinkus> like here
[02:50:51] <SirFinkus> "Due to inadequate leadership and management on the part
[02:50:51] <SirFinkus> of both the Program Office and the contractor, the program has failed to develop and deliver a Verification Simulation (VSim) for use by either the developmental test team or the JSF Operational Test Team (JOTT), as has been planned for the past eight years and is required in the approved TEMP."
[02:50:58] <SirFinkus> that's exasperation
[02:53:20] <SirFinkus> "As expected, the demonstration was not an operational test and could not demonstrate that the F-35B is operationally effective or suitable for use in combat. "
[02:53:43] <cmn32480> would from the look-in-the-chinatown-phone-book dept be wrong for a story about chins?
[02:54:07] <SirFinkus> "However, aircraft reliability and maintainability were poor, so it was difficult for the detachment to keep more than two to three of the six embarked aircraft in a flyable status on any given day, even with significant contractor assistance. "
[02:54:27] <Bytram> cmn32480: I get it, but too obtuse
[02:54:45] <cmn32480> rousing endorsement... we need hundreds more of them fighter thingies
[02:55:00] <cmn32480> but I got more chins then Chinatown
[02:55:16] <cmn32480> ham on
[02:55:18] <cmn32480> ham on
[02:55:24] <cmn32480> ham on whole wheat....
[02:55:26] <cmn32480> AL RIGHT!'
[02:55:51] <SirFinkus> "After the latter failure, the Program Office and Services decided to restrict pilots weighing less than 136 pounds from flying any F-35 variant, regardless of helmet type (Gen II or Gen III). Pilots weighing between 136 and 165 pounds are considered at less risk than lighter weight pilots, but still at an increased risk (compared to heavier pilots)
[02:55:51] <SirFinkus> . The level of risk was labeled “serious” by the Program Office based on the probability of death being 23 percent, and the probability of neck extension (which will result in some level of injury) being 100 percent."
[02:55:58] <SirFinkus> I'd just take my chances trying to land the thing
[02:56:24] <SirFinkus> that's for ejecting btw

[02:59:09] <SirFinkus> this pdf is hilarious
[03:00:33] <SirFinkus> only good thing I've read is that it weighs 372 pounds less than the spec said it should max out as
[03:00:52] <cmn32480> that ain't much
[03:01:52] <SirFinkus> you can't the weapons bays closed for more than 10 minutes ON THE GROUND if the weather is hotter than 90 degrees
[03:03:24] <cmn32480> so built for iraq and afghanistan
[03:04:55] <SirFinkus> "If in an opposed combat scenario, the F-35 Block 2B aircraft would need to avoid threat engagement and would require augmentation by other friendly forces."

[03:09:49] <cmn32480> "did you give it a good kick?"
[03:10:19] <cmn32480> happy about the way your tax dollars are being spent?
[03:10:31] <SirFinkus> no, I'm actually rather upset
[03:10:39] <SirFinkus> now imagine
[03:10:42] <SirFinkus> they took all this money
[03:10:52] <SirFinkus> and used it to develop a replacement for the space shuttle
[03:10:58] <cmn32480> and would ahve gotten better value by wiping thier collective asses wiht it?

[03:42:17] <Ethanol-fueled> Drugs for cocksuckers.
[03:42:25] <takyon> muh pain
[03:42:37] <Ethanol-fueled> agreed, takyon.
[03:43:00] <takyon> hallucinogens are best
[03:44:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Not really. Hallucinogens require some mental maturity.
[03:45:11] <Ethanol-fueled> They are good, but they require an ass-end of responsibility.
[03:45:15] <SirFinkus> true, but if you can handle them, I can't imagine anything better
[03:45:41] <Ethanol-fueled> That is true.
[03:45:44] <SirFinkus> granted, I haven't been all the way down the rabbit hole yet
[03:45:50] <SirFinkus> but I've looked into the rabbit hole
[03:45:57] <takyon> even the amount of people dying in traffic, out of windows when on hallucinogens is very low
[03:46:19] <SirFinkus> "very low" meaning "virtually nonexistant"
[03:47:17] <SirFinkus> not counting unknown chemicals from china
[03:47:22] <takyon> i'll break out the graph
[03:47:33] <takyon> http://media.economist.com
[03:48:31] <SirFinkus> I hate that graph
[03:48:38] <SirFinkus> "100 maximum"
[03:48:41] <SirFinkus> the fuck does that even mean
[03:48:54] <SirFinkus> what's a 40 harm to other?
[03:49:09] <takyon> well you can download the study if you want to know
[03:49:13] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahah, booze is a pretty harmful drug though. It makes me wanna FIGHT.
[03:49:21] <SirFinkus> I know, I've read it
[03:49:26] <SirFinkus> the graph is bullshit though
[03:49:34] <SirFinkus> I don't care if I agree with it
[03:49:40] <Ethanol-fueled> I love booze.
[03:49:50] <takyon> there's another graph from a different study that breaks it down into more specific categories of "harm"
[03:50:01] <Ethanol-fueled> It;s a good drug for humanity.
[03:50:18] <takyon> booze made humanity [citation needed]
[03:50:32] <SirFinkus> booze is pretty good as far as dosing goes, most people can kind of figure out how wasted they're going to get with booze
[03:50:57] <SirFinkus> it shuts down the decision making part though, which is the bad bit
[03:51:08] <SirFinkus> aside from it being poison to pretty much every organ
[03:51:15] <SirFinkus> but that's what makes it fun
[03:51:23] <SirFinkus> also, butane?
[03:51:26] <SirFinkus> like, huffing it?
[03:51:45] <takyon> yeah
[03:51:49] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, I have kept track of my organ poisoning from a professional standpoint and booze poisoning is not that bad.
[03:51:59] <Ethanol-fueled> With respect to liver enzymes.
[03:52:11] <takyon> oh it's the same study.
[03:52:15] <takyon> let's see if I can grab an image
[03:52:18] <SirFinkus> liver repairs itself in like 3 weeks
[03:52:21] <Ethanol-fueled> I drink more heavily than most plebes and I'm well within limits.
[03:52:36] <SirFinkus> I don't see ether, where's that on the list?
[03:53:01] <Ethanol-fueled> ether's your problem, curious George. Mine is Ethanol.
[03:53:15] <takyon> can you accept this graph, finkus: http://puu.sh ?
[03:53:51] <takyon> it's another graph from the same study, "Drug harms in the UK: a multicriteria decision analysis" (DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(10)61462-6) done in 2010
[03:54:06] <SirFinkus> better, but "overall harm score" is still pretty vague
[03:54:10] <Ethanol-fueled> Booze harms the UK more than multiculturalism does.
[03:54:13] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHAHAHAHHHA
[03:54:29] <Ethanol-fueled> Booze HARAAMS the UK more than multiculturamism does.
[03:54:34] <Ethanol-fueled> SODSUCKS.
[03:54:50] <Ethanol-fueled> Grow a pair, Brits.
[03:54:52] <takyon> if UK had sharia law it wouldn't need booze
[03:55:17] <SirFinkus> you make a compelling point
[03:55:41] <SirFinkus> oh, my forum post calling out the article in my anthro class got commented on
[03:56:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, they will eat you alive.
[03:56:09] <SirFinkus> said I was wrong because the only reason the "women's area" at the local mosque was small is because less women went
[03:56:32] <SirFinkus> I replied that maybe we should have gender segregated classes too by that logic
[03:56:40] <takyon> what forum are you talking about?
[03:56:46] <takyon> school forum?
[03:56:47] <SirFinkus> for my anthro class
[03:56:49] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, you're fighting the wrong battles. I've been there. Those morans are not worth worrying about.
[03:56:51] <SirFinkus> we have to make forum posts
[03:56:57] <SirFinkus> naw, it's fun Ethanol-fueled
[03:56:57] <takyon> that's great
[03:56:58] <Gravis> takyon: what the hell, why is butane on that chart?!
[03:57:09] <takyon> gas/paint huffing, gravis
[03:57:15] <SirFinkus> more importantly, why is ether not?
[03:57:18] <Ethanol-fueled> huffing++
[03:57:18] <Bender> karma - huffing: 1
[03:57:23] <takyon> it's commonly available and cheap, so it makes it onto the list of drugs
[03:57:40] <SirFinkus> shit, I need to watch that episode of intervention again
[03:57:44] <SirFinkus> with the duster
[03:57:47] <Gravis> takyon: well... did they count the mental impairment /before/ huffing gas/paint? ;P
[03:58:05] <takyon> you decide that
[03:58:08] <SirFinkus> wouldn't they need to?
[03:58:09] <takyon> the study is: "Drug harms in the UK: a multicriteria decision analysis" (DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(10)61462-6)
[03:58:26] <SirFinkus> how do you measure mental impairment without a baseline?

[04:13:25] <Ethanol-fueled> Bullshit.
[04:13:41] <Ethanol-fueled> What a fucking puss for giving up so soon.
[04:14:14] <takyon> lol
[04:14:33] <takyon> how many years have you spent in an embassy, chewing on vitamin D supplements?
[04:14:36] <Ethanol-fueled> That's what the Brown Menace will do to you.
[04:15:07] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, I've been eating centrum silvers and zinc boosters for as long as that fuck has.
[04:15:29] <Ethanol-fueled> What a wimp.
[04:16:04] <takyon> instead of subbing a story now I might put a placeholder in on friday
[04:16:12] <Ethanol-fueled> The point I'm trying to make is that we're both living in first-world problems.
[04:16:55] <takyon> if assange gets arrested by the brits, he'll spend some time in british custody before being shipped back to sweden... where he'll face posh punishment if guilty
[04:16:58] <Ethanol-fueled> Assange is between a rock and hard place, but his is not that difficult a position, considering...
[04:17:21] <Ethanol-fueled> That's not a hard position in which to hold out;.
[04:17:49] <Ethanol-fueled> Especially with access to the internetZ and the ability to talk shit about SJW nonsense.
[04:18:09] <Ethanol-fueled> ...With the tide turning towards his favor.
[04:18:11] <takyon> he talks with his dick
[04:18:19] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, every man does.
[04:18:41] <SirFinkus> "before being shipped back to sweden.."
[04:18:43] <SirFinkus> lol
[04:18:48] <takyon> he talks (to SJWs) with his dick
[04:19:02] <SirFinkus> more like flown to a US black site to be tortured for his sources
[04:19:08] <takyon> no way
[04:19:15] <SirFinkus> yes way
[04:19:20] <takyon> I'd be willing to bet money that he won't be extradited to the U.S.
[04:19:21] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink - but he's not in some third-world gulag.
[04:19:47] <SirFinkus> I'd take that bet, if I had any money
[04:20:08] <SirFinkus> well, maybe not a black site, he'd be manning'd

[04:21:15] <takyon> i think you need to get real
[04:21:27] <takyon> but don't take my word for it, just wait 2-3 days
[04:21:39] <SirFinkus> the rape thing is bullshit anyway, it's a premise to get him to a place to where he can be extradited and pressured
[04:21:53] <Ethanol-fueled> Agreed, Fink, but times have changed.
[04:22:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Which Nordic country would do that?
[04:22:18] <chromas> isn't Sweden the SJW capitol of the world?
[04:22:21] <SirFinkus> pretty much any of them?
[04:22:26] <takyon> Sweden, YES!
[04:22:30] <Ethanol-fueled> We'll see about that.
[04:22:50] <SirFinkus> why isn't snowden in sweden then? it'd be nicer than russia
[04:23:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Gibs it time.
[04:23:26] <SirFinkus> when was the snowden shit, like 2013?
[04:23:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, that was the seed that was planted.
[04:23:47] <SirFinkus> every normal I talk to thinks he's a traitor and should be hung or some shit
[04:24:04] <chromas> do they say why?
[04:24:09] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, because you're in Seattle, where errybody votes for HIllary.
[04:24:13] * chromas doesn't remember what he did
[04:24:18] <SirFinkus> we all are interested in tech stuff, and probably mostly talk to tech people
[04:24:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, you're all Microsoft and Boeing people.
[04:24:42] <SirFinkus> oh, he stole plans, got americans killed, and sold the secrets to russia
[04:24:45] <Ethanol-fueled> "interested in tech stuff"
[04:24:46] <SirFinkus> something like that
[04:24:53] * chromas blames SirFinkus for Win 10
[04:25:08] <SirFinkus> go fuck yourself Ethanol-fueled, don't you nitpick me
[04:25:15] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahahah. You fifth-columnist fucks. You will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
[04:25:28] <Ethanol-fueled> Mark my words.
[04:26:08] <SirFinkus> and usually, the more "conservative" they less people like snowden, assuming they aren't militia guys
[04:26:19] <SirFinkus> because russia = commies
[04:26:34] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, then let them vote for Hillary.
[04:26:36] <SirFinkus> and NSA = MURRICAN DEFENSE
[04:26:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Let Puget Sound vote for Hillary.
[04:27:13] <Ethanol-fueled> and let them draft women for futile wars/
[04:27:24] <takyon> it's funny that black people support Hillary
[04:27:33] <SirFinkus> support for NSA survellience is bipartisan as fuck
[04:27:39] <takyon> and that is what is Bernie campaign's biggest problem this month
[04:27:40] <chromas> why, is her butt small?
[04:27:44] <Ethanol-fueled> I have a soft spot in my heart for Washingtonians, but they are more stupid than others.
[04:28:12] <SirFinkus> the bernie sanders supports over here are much more vocal
[04:28:27] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, then let them support Bernie...TO THE GRAVE
[04:28:27] <SirFinkus> I haven't seen a single hillary sign, but sanders signs are everywhere
[04:28:37] <Ethanol-fueled> BAHAHAHAH...HAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
[04:28:50] <SirFinkus> hillary isn't cool enough
[04:29:38] <takyon> I bet a guy $50 that Hillary won't get indicted before election day
[04:29:50] <takyon> so now I have money riding on an outcome I don't prefer
[04:29:56] <takyon> so either way I win
[04:30:05] <SirFinkus> it'd be great if she won the nomination, then got indicted before the election
[04:30:05] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, that;s a smart investment. Should have bet more.
[04:30:11] <SirFinkus> watch people scramble
[04:30:37] <SirFinkus> the case against her looks pretty damning
[04:30:52] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, she will win. She will beat all odds.
[04:31:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Even Mazamans will vote for her.
[04:31:05] <SirFinkus> the republicans have been retarded making a big deal about the bengazi shit, they should have focused on the email stuff
[04:31:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, you are missing the point - that she is INVINCIBLE.
[04:31:28] <takyon> yeah, but really it's about the interaction between FBI and DoJ, not Republicans
[04:31:43] <dyingtolive> they don't understand "computer stuff" well enough to actually realize the ramifcations, i think.
[04:31:47] <Ethanol-fueled> It will take nothing short of a revolt to defeat Hillary
[04:31:51] <takyon> my friend thinks that Obama hates Hillary for '08 and so that's why he will "let" DoJ indict Hillary
[04:31:58] <takyon> kind of nutty scenario IMO
[04:32:09] * Ethanol-fueled moves to Canada
[04:32:14] <dyingtolive> either that or if they actually brought up an ACTUAL CRIME THAT HAPPENED, then they'll kind of blow the lid off the 2 party charade.
[04:32:15] <SirFinkus> the republicans have been making a stink about the stupid video thing instead of her fucking hosting her own email server for sensitive communications
[04:32:29] <takyon> oh yeah, Planned Parenthood
[04:32:32] <SirFinkus> which was illegal, and shoddily performed
[04:32:38] <takyon> now the guys who shot the video have been indicted
[04:32:58] <SirFinkus> the gop needs to pick its battles better
[04:33:01] <Ethanol-fueled> And what are YOU ALL gonna do about it?

[04:33:58] <Gravis> SirFinkus: it depends on what their goal is. if it's to be an ass 24/7, sure bengazi or email are great topics. if they want to say something important, they should move on.
[04:34:17] <SirFinkus> the bengazi thing is horseshit, the emails are not
[04:34:27] <dyingtolive> eew, it has gross creepy no beard riker.
[04:34:30] <SirFinkus> flagrant violation of the law
[04:34:41] <Gravis> SirFinkus: the thing is, she's not the first or only one to do it.
[04:34:42] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck off Gravis.
[04:34:46] <Ethanol-fueled> You suck dicks.
[04:35:03] <SirFinkus> sure, but that doesn't justify it
[04:35:30] <Gravis> SirFinkus: no, i'm saying they could end up getting hurt if the scope widens to include other people
[04:36:01] <SirFinkus> the stakes are about as high as they get though
[04:36:02] <takyon> I don't see anyone bigger than Clinton getting wrecked by email indictments
[04:36:18] <SirFinkus> the palin thing, she was the governor of fucking alaska
[04:36:36] <dyingtolive> isn't she already politically useless?
[04:36:40] <SirFinkus> clinton was the fucking secretary of state, and she's going for president
[04:37:36] <Ethanol-fueled> WRECK CLINTON.
[04:37:47] <Gravis> SirFinkus: and if they take down a bunch of their own politicians in the process and lose the majority in XYZ?
[04:37:56] <Ethanol-fueled> TAKE HER OUT, like Vince Foster
[04:38:06] <takyon> it looks like Ben Carson will endorse Trump because of Cruz and Rubio "cheating" by saying that he dropped out during Iowa caucus
[04:38:15] <takyon> whenever he decides to drop out
[04:38:26] <takyon> fo real
[04:38:30] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, carson is a nut.
[04:38:37] <SirFinkus> that seems unlikely Gravis, most of their politicians aren't high profile enough
[04:38:39] <takyon> he's a lovable nut
[04:38:46] <SirFinkus> we're talking presidency
[04:38:56] <Ethanol-fueled> No, he's not. He;'s an idiot. I love bklacks, especially ofensive blacks.
[04:39:06] <SirFinkus> power to veto shit, executive order, supreme court justice appointments
[04:39:08] <Ethanol-fueled> But carson does not belong in this ....heh...RACE.
[04:39:13] <Gravis> SirFinkus: right... but if she goes down, don't you think she would want to take people with her?
[04:39:23] <SirFinkus> it's a bigger deal than some 2 bit senators
[04:39:44] <SirFinkus> probably, but I doubt it'd be successful
[04:39:56] <SirFinkus> if the republicans had executed the strategy well
[04:39:56] <Gravis> maybe they are just more afraid of bernie. ;)
[04:40:30] <takyon> bernie could win this if the right cards are played by the right people... but those people would rather have Hillary in
[04:40:31] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck Bernie
[04:40:50] <Ethanol-fueled> That Brown-Menace-loving fifth-coumnist
[04:40:57] <dyingtolive> man, bernie must be like your literal kryptonite, e-f.
[04:41:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Willing to destroy the country's standard of living to give more votes to the gimme-gimmes.
[04:41:36] <Gravis> dyingtolive: literal? look up the word because you're using it wrong.
[04:41:36] <SirFinkus> actually an interesting point Gravis, hadn't considered that
[04:41:38] <takyon> he can't destroy the country's standard of living without the support of congress
[04:41:51] <takyon> congress is a big check on all these free education/health plans
[04:41:59] <SirFinkus> doesn't really explain why they continue to attack clinton in that case
[04:42:00] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, you are correct. Gravis, he is about the gimme-gimmes.
[04:42:05] <dyingtolive> no, i'm pretty sure bernie would actually cause e-f to lose whatever superpowers he might have.
[04:42:13] <SirFinkus> seems like they'd lay off until the nomination is decieded
[04:42:15] <Gravis> SirFinkus: maybe they are just shitty at what they do.
[04:42:17] <Ethanol-fueled> What we need is a candidate who resists the gimme-gimmes.
[04:42:22] <dyingtolive> like, direct contact would kill him, except for all those times it wouldn't.
[04:42:26] <SirFinkus> well, that was my thesis Gravis
[04:42:38] <Gravis> SirFinkus: and it's not as cut and dry as you make it out to be.
[04:42:42] <Ethanol-fueled> dyingtolive, that might happen. But would the grass be greener on the other side?
[04:42:58] <SirFinkus> part of it might be that they've been doing this benghazi shit ever since it's happened, and it's become part of their platform

[04:54:53] <SirFinkus> making the mexicans build a wall? everyone knows it's absurd
[04:55:17] <Gravis> SirFinkus: but how do you know that he knows or thinks that
[04:55:25] <SirFinkus> I don't *know* it, but he hasn't really made a wrong move yet
[04:55:26] <takyon> it's the absurdities that appeal to the rabid republican segments, but won't ever come to fruition
[04:55:38] <SirFinkus> which to me, implies that he's planning it
[04:55:46] <Gravis> SirFinkus: excellent. so we have established that your guess is as good as mine.
[04:55:54] <SirFinkus> no, we haven't
[04:56:08] <Gravis> sure we have. you don't know therefore you are guessing.
[04:56:12] <SirFinkus> since he hasn't really made any major missteps
[04:56:22] <SirFinkus> I have some evidence to support my claim
[04:56:42] <Gravis> circumstantial evidence
[04:56:51] <SirFinkus> which is better than no evidence
[04:57:13] <SirFinkus> he's advanced from joke candidate to frontrunner
[04:57:22] <SirFinkus> despite the media not taking him seriously until recently
[04:57:44] <Gravis> and?
[04:57:53] <takyon> what happened with Ben Carson on the day of the Iowa caucus could backfire against Cruz/Rubio and deliver more supporters to Trump
[04:57:58] <SirFinkus> that counts for nothing?
[04:58:29] <Gravis> you might as well say that justin beeber masterminded his success.
[04:58:56] <Gravis> there is equal evidence
[04:59:39] <SirFinkus> to an extent he did, although it was highly engineered by others
[05:00:05] <SirFinkus> it's kind of a different situation
[05:00:10] <Gravis> not really
[05:00:17] <SirFinkus> the music industry wanted him to be big
[05:00:27] <Gravis> people putting another person in the spotlight
[05:00:29] <SirFinkus> the republicans didn't want trump to be a frontrunner
[05:00:35] <Gravis> doing crazy shit
[05:00:51] <Gravis> not taken seriously... but he could be president!
[05:00:54] <Gravis> -_-
[05:01:40] <Gravis> SirFinkus: he had money and people working for him
[05:01:45] <takyon> the media allowed Trump to build his support on the cheap. News reports are his campaign ads
[05:02:02] <SirFinkus> so did everybody else
[05:02:06] <SirFinkus> but look who's in front
[05:02:17] <SirFinkus> playing the media and his opponents like a fiddle
[05:02:24] <takyon> Jeb Bush was full of money, and it did nothing for him
[05:02:36] <takyon> Jeb Bush will drop out and his 2-3% will go to Rubio
[05:02:39] <SirFinkus> because he's a dullard
[05:02:52] <Gravis> SirFinkus: well... you go vote trump if you think he's such a brilliant man.
[05:02:57] <SirFinkus> fuck no
[05:03:05] <SirFinkus> I hate trump
[05:03:08] <takyon> Trump or Hillary, who do you vote for
[05:03:09] <SirFinkus> I just don't think he's stupid
[05:03:12] <SirFinkus> neither
[05:03:14] <Gravis> SirFinkus: no, go ahead. he's a genius!
[05:03:27] <SirFinkus> an evil one
[05:03:33] <Gravis> /facepalm
[05:04:06] <Gravis> knowing how to manipulate people isn't genius, it's psychopathy
[05:05:36] <SirFinkus> that isn't a form of intelligence?

[05:37:44] <SirFinkus> is there a movie called "fatal error" on netflix?
[05:38:52] <dyingtolive> nope. must have too high of ratings.
[05:39:13] <SirFinkus> damn
[05:39:16] <SirFinkus> The seven American lawyers hired by Australian media magnate Jack Doulan, whose company rivals Albert Teal's Digicron for preponderance on the world market of telecommunications, are suddenly struck during a video conference in Seattle by an incredibly fast-working virus which wipes out everyone on their floor. Dr. Nick Baldwin, a brilliant virologist who works as an 'insubordinate' ambulance technician after being fired for
[05:39:16] <SirFinkus> failing to observe procedure, is first on the site and points out to US Army disease specialist Dr. Samantha Carter, who told him there were deaths in several other cases but never a trace of the virus, his ambulance has taken a survivor to his hospital; her therapeutic incompetence gets the patient killed, him assigned as temporary consultant to her army research unit- even there computer model operator Darren is killed by
[05:39:16] <SirFinkus> the virus, which also strikes at other sites in and around Seattle, notably at places where Digicron's 500 TV channels setup box is being tested. Nick realizes the survivors had eye diseases, so the otherwise non-contagious, short-living virus probably enters via the eyes; the common link seem to be TV screens, and as soon turns out Digicron black boxes. Their next theory is that a computer virus may have evolved into a
[05:39:16] <SirFinkus> deadly organic virus. Samantha and Nick must then prevent Digicron's box being sold to the general public in vast numbers, according to the company's Barnum-marketing starting in only two days, but CEO Teal refuses to believe them. Behind his back they find out his most recently promoted VP, Ned Henderson, is the brilliant programmer who must know about the computer virus
[05:39:16] <SirFinkus> , but Doulan is also after him to beat Teal at his own game, and Henderson has a deep-rooted frustration inspiring his own agenda...
[05:39:22] <SirFinkus> sorry
[05:40:21] <dyingtolive> wait, Samantha Carter? really?
[05:40:45] <dyingtolive> yeah... every bit of that sounds horrible.

[05:41:09] <SirFinkus> saw it on tv a long time ago

[20:08:36] <Gravis> most dog breeds have serious genetic defects
[20:09:34] <chromas> is that why pugs look like they run into walls all day?
[20:09:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, but pugs and IIRC bulldogs are some of the worst.
[20:09:50] <chromas> also bulldogs
[20:10:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> bulldogs are at the "breed can't survive without human intervention" state already
[20:10:13] <Gravis> :/
[20:10:52] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: a big part of the problem for most dog ailments is that people overfeed their dogs
[20:11:16] <Gravis> so you end up with 35 lbs pugs
[20:11:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> Not that any of the current existing breeds would survive without human intervention - they'd likely all evolve back towards wild canid forms.
[20:11:26] <Gravis> they should be about 15 lbs
[20:13:47] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: i think they any of the small dog breeds could only survive if begin a plant based diet.
[20:14:21] <Gravis> AndyTheAbsurd: i know my brothers pug loves hunting for and eating mushrooms
[20:16:18] <Gravis> he's actually a pretty healthy pug. i execise and he walks with me, so he's a healthy 15 lbs. he's dog shaped rather than log shaped.
