[02:25:47] <cmn32480> but be thankful
[02:26:10] <cmn32480> you don't have a 4 year old's Hello Kitty birthday party at your house tomorrow
[02:26:11] <mechanicjay> ...it's then I realized that I'm 35 with two kids, recently in a new city and no friends to invite over to hang with :(
[02:26:49] <mechanicjay> cmn32480: true! I'm watching the 2 year old and the 5 year old take flying leaps off the couch at each other atm...

[02:29:44] <cmn32480> or at least I can lend a sympathetic ear
[02:31:17] <mechanicjay> We talk about having a 3rd...but it seems like exponentially more chaos.
[02:31:26] <cmn32480> it is
[02:31:32] <cmn32480> totally worth it in my house

[02:37:32] <crutchy> can't see him losing senate seat
[02:37:38] <takyon> his presidential campaign was always going to be a long shot, and his early lead was due to nobody being in the race
[02:37:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> or call her a stupid, fat penguin

[04:32:59] <SirFinkus> fuck he, he's 4
[04:33:02] <SirFinkus> he won't remember it
[04:33:02] <cmn32480> my house looks like a fucking Hello Kitty store exploded
[04:33:06] <Deucalion> Hey MDC... mebbe spill some coffee on yourself and sue for the burns :D I hear someone got away with that once :D
[04:33:10] <SirFinkus> or she's
[04:33:10] <cmn32480> she
[04:33:15] <SirFinkus> same difference
[04:33:32] <SirFinkus> your pronoun usage is pretty intolerant cmn32480
[04:33:38] <MDC> O Happy Birthday. O Happy Birthday. Danger Darkness and Despair, People Dyring Everywhere. BUT! O Happy Birthday.
[04:33:39] <cmn32480> eat shit fink
[04:33:45] <SirFinkus> never again
[04:33:53] <cmn32480> and quit killing that cat
[04:34:00] <SirFinkus> yeah, that's right

[04:38:00] <Deucalion> People Dying or Drying? I'm confused... are we in a warzone or a swimming pool changing room :/
[04:39:23] <MDC> :)
[04:40:47] <MDC> I have a problem... I want to blow all my food stamps on ice cream
[04:40:54] <MDC> all day I think of ice cream
[04:41:03] <MDC> it's worse than heroin
[04:41:16] <SirFinkus> naw, heroin is probably worse
[04:41:27] * SirFinkus is listening to Rodrigo Y Gabriela — Buster Voodoo, from the album 11 11
[04:41:36] <SirFinkus> most tasteful use of wah I've ever heard
[04:41:41] <MDC> I once got to watch up close and personal while three guys shot up
[04:41:58] <MDC> I don't ever want to be like them
[04:42:04] <Deucalion> kinda hollow calories :/ tasty though.... But really, in early Feb you want ice cream?
[04:42:18] <MDC> I was allergic to milk when I was a kid
[04:42:29] <MDC> imagine being a little boy who is not permitted ice cream
[04:42:31] <SirFinkus> on one of the bike paths I frequent there's a place where people go to shoot up
[04:43:11] <MDC> sometimes I manage to substitute a carton of milk.
[04:43:30] <SirFinkus> my poison is savory stuff
[04:43:41] <SirFinkus> bacon, chips, cheese etc
[04:44:30] <Deucalion> Likewise... give me fatty, salty, meaty over sweet every time.... in Indian restaurants I've been known to order another starter for dessert ::F
[04:44:36] <MDC> elvis presley used to eat peanut butter and bacon sandwiches
[04:44:53] <Deucalion> didn't he die on the bog?
[04:44:58] <MDC> yes
[04:46:27] <Deucalion> There are worse ways to go I suppose :D I shat my last and slipped of this mortal coil.... return to sender :)
[04:47:22] <MDC> I wrote an essay about it...
[04:47:30] <SirFinkus> I want a theremin

[04:49:28] <takyon> MDC?
[04:49:32] <MDC> yes
[04:49:35] <takyon> hi
[04:49:40] <MDC> hi!
[04:49:43] <takyon> didn't expect to see you on IRC
[04:49:54] <MDC> I don't IRC a whole lot
[04:50:11] <MDC> I'm trying to find new things to do, other than reloading message board pages
[04:50:41] <MDC> I've been sleeping too much lately. That's bad for me.
[04:51:16] <Deucalion> But but.. this is SN IRC... it's a speshul snowflake... besides there is usually someone knocking about in here given our vast global empire! :D
[04:51:33] <SirFinkus> me too, I get home from school, take a 4 hour nap, spend another 3 hours awake and then crash
[04:51:47] <takyon> i'm a couple drinks in
[04:51:55] <SirFinkus> don't now what's up with me
[04:51:57] <MDC> I've been sleeping till mid-afternoon. Just about to start a contract.
[04:52:15] <MDC> client needs some hand-holding, it's not cool to be sleeping when they want to talk to me.
[04:52:24] <SirFinkus> hopefully you can do it remotely, or the first week or two are going to be brutal
[04:52:33] <MDC> yes it's remote
[04:52:45] <takyon> do you still live in a tent
[04:52:51] <MDC> I do.
[04:52:55] <Deucalion> It's frickin winter, no daylight, cold n wet outside permanently...... eat, sleep, eat, sleep til it fucks off. As long as you have somewhere dry and safe to sleep, seems a reasonable choice.
[04:53:01] <MDC> But someone is going to find me a place to work
[04:53:15] <MDC> yeah that's what I think too
[04:53:37] <MDC> I'll be working on a storage driver.
[04:53:48] <SirFinkus> hasn't been too bad this past few weeks temp wise up north where I live
[04:53:51] <MDC> I'm not entirely sure whether they're going to send me some equipment.
[04:53:53] <SirFinkus> the rain hasn't let up much
[04:54:20] <Deucalion> Does your tent have an address or do you have a PO Box?
[04:54:37] <MDC> there is a day center where I can recieve mail
[04:54:48] <MDC> 650 NW Irving St Portland OR 97209
[04:54:50] <SirFinkus> almost drove down to Portland today to see the Earth concert
[04:55:44] <takyon> you should do a Soylent meetup
[04:55:54] <takyon> take photos of your awkward meeting
[04:56:05] <SirFinkus> lol
[04:56:15] <SirFinkus> portland is a little far for me
[04:56:21] <MDC> I was going to suggest that on the website
[04:56:31] <SirFinkus> if I'm ever down there, I'm game
[04:56:56] <takyon> i live close to one soylentil
[04:57:01] <SirFinkus> eww
[04:57:06] <SirFinkus> better move takyon
[04:57:16] <MDC> I often tell people "I'm the most-famous man on the Internet, it just doesn't pay well,"
[04:57:33] <takyon> you are probably one of the top 10 most famous people I've talked to
[04:57:41] <takyon> considering you made it on CNN
[04:57:43] <MDC> :-D
[04:57:51] <SirFinkus> I hadn't heard of you until SN
[04:57:54] <MDC> that was quite a surprise.
[04:57:55] <SirFinkus> should I be starstruck?
[04:57:59] <takyon> no
[04:58:05] <MDC> I'm just a regular guy
[04:58:46] <MDC> I've managed to crater my career the last few years. But there is no one else who does Mac OS X drivers.
[04:58:55] <MDC> ... who doesn't also work for apple
[04:59:25] * Deucalion simmers by the fire some more
[04:59:39] <SirFinkus> maybe those osx86 guys too, you hang around with them at all?
[04:59:40] <MDC> mmmm... snake
[04:59:49] <MDC> I'd like to
[05:00:19] <MDC> I tried to get OSX to run in VirtualBox on my acer. Strictly speaking it "ran" but quite poorly.
[05:00:38] <SirFinkus> yeah, I've gotten it running on non apple hardware before
[05:00:48] <SirFinkus> no networking or audio though
[05:01:04] <MDC> it was very slow for me. Too slow for development.
[05:01:18] <MDC> My new client is going to advance me the money to buy a Mac
[05:01:40] <MDC> I was scared shitless when I asked for that but they said it was "entirely reasonable"
[05:01:50] <SirFinkus> I suspect getting osx to run on Virtualbox could be pretty lucrative for IOS development and stuff
[05:02:26] <SirFinkus> assuming Apple doesn't drop the legal hammer on that
[05:03:02] <takyon> it's all about dem apps
[05:03:21] <takyon> and the new Apple Watch - buy it or you're TRASH
[05:03:50] <SirFinkus> fuck that
[05:03:57] <SirFinkus> I don't want to have to charge my watch every night
[05:04:41] <SirFinkus> I actually have an idea for the whole charging thing, might take up too much room though
[05:04:56] <SirFinkus> put inductive charging shit in macbooks
[05:05:07] <SirFinkus> so when you're typing, you're charging your watch
[05:05:23] <MDC> Tesla would be proud
[05:05:34] <SirFinkus> granted, I don't know how much space this would take up in the chassis
[05:05:51] <takyon> 10 cubic feet
[05:05:59] <SirFinkus> sounds about right
[05:06:24] <SirFinkus> it seems kind of apple-ey if they could pull off the engineering
[05:07:14] <takyon> i've heard nothing about the wireless features that were supposed to be prominent in Skylake based laptops this year
[05:07:25] <takyon> that was a big marketing point last year
[05:07:34] <takyon> wireless charging, WiGig, etc.
[05:08:08] <mechanicjay> hey all -- what're we drinking tonight?
[05:08:15] <MDC> I think we're going to run out of things to sell
[05:08:19] <mrcoolbp> mechanicjay: cuba libre
[05:08:23] <SirFinkus> I think wireless charging would be one area where apple would benefit from adopting a standard
[05:08:28] <MDC> will there ever be a point that the public has enough gadgetry?
[05:08:31] <Deucalion> Aren't Apple going with their own home-brewed charge within ~2m thing? Not seen any details on the efficiency of that... but I can kinda see it would be a "nice" thing to have your iDevice charged while in proximity.
[05:08:33] <SirFinkus> shared with the android folks
[05:08:40] <mrcoolbp> takyon: btw, since you mention skylake, what processor should I target for my eventual VR build?
[05:08:46] <mrcoolbp> I was thinking skylake
[05:09:05] <takyon> probably
[05:09:17] <takyon> but it's not like CPU matters so much anymore, it's all about the GPU
[05:09:18] <SirFinkus> I think not having to think about charging is a greater benefit than vendor lock in
[05:09:57] <mrcoolbp> takyon: well I will be doing 3d modeling and 3d environment development with it too
[05:10:13] <mrcoolbp> mrcoolbp: what did you pour tonight good sir?
[05:10:24] <SirFinkus> oh, torpedo btw
[05:10:32] <SirFinkus> and cider
[05:10:34] <takyon> well you can look at benchmarks to see what kinds of programs can take advantage of the difference between an i5, i7, and 6-8 core enthusiast desktop intel chips... it's not all that many
[05:10:55] <takyon> sierra nevada torpedo? I had sierra nevada "beer camp" - the spring seasonal
[05:10:58] <takyon> it's quite good
[05:11:05] <mechanicjay> hmm....beer or whiskey....
[05:11:10] <takyon> also had lagunitas
[05:11:12] <mrcoolbp> yeah I figure I'll just chuck a nice gfx card at it and maybe 32gb of ram with a SSD and call it a day
[05:11:17] <SirFinkus> yes takyon
[05:11:21] <takyon> back to the GPU
[05:11:25] <SirFinkus> both mechanicjay
[05:11:30] <mrcoolbp> takyon: yes
[05:11:41] <SirFinkus> a good stout and a good scotch are fantastic together
[05:11:43] <takyon> I would not get a new GPU before we see the 14nm Pascal and whatever-the-hell-AMD-calls-theirs from this year
[05:11:44] <mrcoolbp> mechanicjay: add in a scotch there
[05:11:48] <mechanicjay> SirFinkus: A good suggestion.
[05:11:56] <takyon> SirFinkus: I just bought 4 "stout glasses"
[05:12:00] <takyon> I have no stouts though
[05:12:03] <mechanicjay> No stout in the house, just some Bitters
[05:12:04] <mrcoolbp> takyon: yeah I'm wating for this build, partially because of your suggestion in the VR thread
[05:12:11] <SirFinkus> the glenncarn or whatever takyon?
[05:12:11] <takyon> which one specifically
[05:12:21] <mechanicjay> mrcoolbp: is there another kind of whiskey?
[05:12:21] <takyon> SirFinkus: huh?
[05:12:25] <SirFinkus> fuck spelling scottish words
[05:12:47] <takyon> SirFunkus: it's a goddamn stout glass. 19.26 fluid ounces. got it at the cheap ass store
[05:12:48] <mrcoolbp> mechanicjay: YeS! Bourbon my friend, bet you never had a nice aged bourbon, they are rather rare
[05:12:52] <SirFinkus> http://www.glencairnwhiskyglass.com
[05:12:59] <shekel> ^ 03Glencairn Whisky Glass
[05:13:11] <SirFinkus> oh shit, got whisky and scotch confused
[05:13:13] <takyon> that's iunteresting
[05:13:16] <mrcoolbp> this is the correct glass for whiskey
[05:13:23] <mrcoolbp> can confirm
[05:13:38] <takyon> mrcoolbp: which suggestion i made
[05:13:40] <MDC> One of my best friends is a bartender in a strip club
[05:13:42] <mrcoolbp> you don't want it too big or the nose gets offensive
[05:13:47] <SirFinkus> with beer, it doesn't really matter
[05:13:47] <mrcoolbp> takyon: to wait for the new chips
[05:13:48] <SirFinkus> imo
[05:13:52] <MDC> I visited her today, she gave me free coffee.
[05:14:08] <mechanicjay> mrcoolbp: true, my friend got me a nice bottle of bourbon a few years ago. It definitely holds its own against some better scotches.
[05:14:13] <MDC> The strippers all think I'm cool because I'm Beth's friend.
[05:14:18] <mrcoolbp> takyon: actually I have a GTX 780 to hold me off until those come out in case I want to build before they are released
[05:14:22] <SirFinkus> haha
[05:14:34] <mrcoolbp> mechanicjay: I like variety = )
[05:15:31] <takyon> mrcoolbp: the VR GPU recommendations are pretty aggressive, but only time will tell how good of a GPU is needed. More games, more people playing them and benchmarking them. But what we do know is that both NVIDIA and AMD will be skipping 20nm, going to 14nm, and producing impressive performance gains after years of fucking around at 28nm
[05:15:52] <MDC> gonna go work on my website
[05:15:54] <takyon> mrcoolbp: by aggressive VR recommendations I mean the Oculus Rift recommended specifications
[05:16:00] <MDC> It is a multitude of sins
[05:16:12] <MDC> nighty-night. don't let the code bugs byte.
[05:16:13] <SirFinkus> good luck with the job MDC
[05:16:16] <takyon> night MDC
[05:16:19] <MDC> thanks!
[05:16:22] <SirFinkus> I'll buy you a beer if I'm ever in portland
[05:16:29] <MDC> :-D
[05:16:36] <takyon> maybe I'll mail you something
[05:16:39] <takyon> probably not though
[05:16:48] <mrcoolbp> takyon: I'm well aware, I want to be well above them as I plan to both run VR and develop environments for VR
[05:16:51] <Deucalion> May the tent hold up MDC! :D
[05:17:00] -!- MDC has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[05:17:01] <mrcoolbp> night MDC
[05:17:04] <mrcoolbp> = (
[05:17:06] <mechanicjay> bourbon is it
[05:17:08] <takyon> gotcha
[05:17:27] <SirFinkus> so the more important question about VR
[05:17:29] <mrcoolbp> I mean, 32gb ram is overkill for anything but gfx work
[05:17:32] <mrcoolbp> rendering.....
[05:17:34] <takyon> mrcoolbp: are you so serious that you are going to run 2 GPUs in SLI? Because I would never do that
[05:17:38] <mrcoolbp> no
[05:17:40] <SirFinkus> system requirements for the SEX GAMES
[05:17:45] <SirFinkus> I just want the sex
[05:17:46] <mrcoolbp> not until that is a proven common thing

[05:19:50] <takyon> the best thing about VR porn will be the boost in audio quality
[05:19:59] <mrcoolbp> lol
[05:20:03] <takyon> when people start using those binaural microphones
[05:20:04] <mrcoolbp> that's the best thing?
[05:20:08] <takyon> yeah
[05:20:12] <mrcoolbp> oh okay
[05:20:15] <mechanicjay> I....
[05:20:19] <SirFinkus> takyon: I was thinking more along the lines of the mute button
[05:20:23] <takyon> lol
[05:20:31] <takyon> mechanicjay knows what i'm talking about
[05:20:41] <mrcoolbp> hah
[05:20:44] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - RBF (aka Resting Bitch Face) Explained - http://sylnt.us - I'm-really-a-nice-person
[05:20:57] <SirFinkus> wow, what a coincidence
[05:20:58] <Deucalion> I was just about to hit the button on a new motherboard, processor and nvidia 980 or titan, then both amd and nivdia announced their plans for the year.... if they both go 14nm, those current top end cards are going to drop in price massively..... blech it feels like the early 2000s again, it was never the right time to buy.
[05:21:07] * mrcoolbp considers making a vesper martini but his wife would be wakened by all the shaking
[05:21:12] <mechanicjay> all I'm hearing now is wet slurping noises in my head
[05:21:18] <takyon> don't fuckin gbuy a GPU until 14nm is out
[05:21:25] <mrcoolbp> lol
[05:21:38] <mrcoolbp> he's very adament about it
[05:21:41] <takyon> here's the thing Decucalion
[05:21:56] <takyon> DukeNukemlion
[05:22:02] <SirFinkus> making martinis at home?
[05:22:02] <Deucalion> :D
[05:22:11] <SirFinkus> only acceptable at a party
[05:22:16] <mechanicjay> now I hear the suck-gluck sound of...nevermind. This is ruining my bourbon.
[05:22:17] <SirFinkus> or with friends
[05:22:19] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: don't judge me
[05:22:22] <SirFinkus> just get drunk like a man
[05:22:32] <takyon> 28nm -> 14nm is a one time deal. from then on it will be 14nm -> 14nm, and 14nm -> 10nm, supposedly without any delay but nobody can say for sure
[05:22:35] * mrcoolbp considers some bourbon
[05:22:52] <takyon> the number of years AMD and NVIDIA spent STAGNATING at 28nm is HISTORIC
[05:23:00] <takyon> never before was GPU development that slow
[05:23:01] * Deucalion llistens to takyon over the drink talk :P
[05:23:11] <takyon> and the irony is that I am drunk
[05:23:25] <Deucalion> well that makes 3 of us
[05:23:32] <takyon> but anyway, it will be a historic gain in performance/W and overall performance
[05:23:36] <Deucalion> wait.. did I say that right?
[05:23:40] <takyon> maybe
[05:23:45] <mrcoolbp> I think there's more than 3 of us
[05:23:55] <SirFinkus> counting is hard, not really drunk yet though
[05:23:59] <mechanicjay> I am not yet -- at least hanging in here I don't feel like I"m drinking alone.
[05:24:03] <takyon> let's be frank here
[05:24:12] <takyon> I have gotten blacked out drunk on #soylent
[05:24:20] <SirFinkus> 2 torpedos in, so getting there
[05:24:23] <takyon> can any of you claim that
[05:24:31] <SirFinkus> no
[05:24:33] <takyon> I WIN
[05:24:36] <mechanicjay> no, I don't usually compute while drunk.
[05:24:38] <mrcoolbp> I don't think so but I've been rather cocked
[05:24:42] <SirFinkus> I don't think even EF can claim that
[05:24:50] <SirFinkus> he usually gets kicked before he blacks out
[05:24:56] <mrcoolbp> oh I can attest that he has gotten quite close
[05:25:03] <mrcoolbp> you can tell the diff with him
[05:25:04] <takyon> yeah you can tell
[05:25:13] <takyon> with him it's mixed in with cannabis though
[05:25:17] <mrcoolbp> true
[05:25:26] <mrcoolbp> he's quite a nice guy when he's sober
[05:25:28] <SirFinkus> ahh! but he's always been either kicked, or left of his own volition
[05:25:39] <SirFinkus> so he hasn't blacked out in IRC
[05:25:43] <takyon> nobody kicks EF anymore
[05:25:46] <SirFinkus> QED, BITCHES
[05:25:50] <SirFinkus> Deucalion does
[05:25:58] <takyon> like a long time ago probably
[05:26:07] <SirFinkus> within the last week or two
[05:26:08] <mrcoolbp> I have an old email he wrote that was rather helpful/supportive/constructive from our early days, he still claims he'll join staff under a pseudonymn but refuses to admit it to mee
[05:26:13] <takyon> oh shit really
[05:26:19] <mrcoolbp> er refuses to reveal it even just to me
[05:26:22] <takyon> iguess i dont pay attention to this channel
[05:26:27] <mrcoolbp> yeah when he finishes school
[05:26:30] <SirFinkus> too drunk I guess
[05:26:55] <takyon> EF can pretend to be a normal individual
[05:26:57] <mrcoolbp> gotta keep our eyes out for someone that gets drunk and can still hold himself together somewhat
[05:27:01] * mrcoolbp looks at takyon
[05:27:07] <takyon> we can say that from his stories about how he was "too scard to say X to a black person"
[05:27:38] * takyon doesn't know if he is a positive role model anymore
[05:27:47] <mrcoolbp> I would still totally kick his ass, and he knows it
[05:28:05] <SirFinkus> I've never blacked out from drinking
[05:28:06] <mrcoolbp> though if Deucalion is around I'll make him do it = p
[05:28:19] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: you're missing out (get it?)
[05:28:31] <takyon> SirFinkus: others have told me that and I find it so hard to believe. I just feel that they (and you) haven't tried hard enough
[05:28:33] <SirFinkus> no, seems I'm not missing out
[05:28:45] <mrcoolbp> I stand corrected
[05:29:02] <SirFinkus> most of the things I like drinking are things you drink fairly slowly
[05:29:28] <SirFinkus> scotch and stouts aren't really chugging drinks
[05:29:31] <takyon> you drink enough strong IPAs (like 12) in 3 hours or so and you will black out
[05:29:42] <SirFinkus> my stomach wouldn't take that
[05:29:45] <SirFinkus> I'd throw up before that
[05:29:49] * mrcoolbp can't physically imbibe that many IPAs
[05:29:54] <SirFinkus> it'd have to be hard shit
[05:30:02] <mrcoolbp> it's cocktails that are easy to suck down
[05:30:09] <takyon> IPAs don't do anything to my stomach, it's (straight) liquor that does that
[05:30:19] <takyon> IPAs are basically nutritious
[05:30:24] <mrcoolbp> well...
[05:30:37] <mrcoolbp> based on that crappy pyramid, they are basically liquid bread
[05:30:42] <takyon> right
[05:30:43] <SirFinkus> the issue with ipas is volume
[05:30:51] <mrcoolbp> and thickness
[05:30:51] <SirFinkus> I have a small stomach or something
[05:30:54] <mechanicjay> The issue with IPAs is that they're gross.
[05:30:57] <mrcoolbp> hah
[05:31:01] <takyon> IPAs ain't gross
[05:31:02] <SirFinkus> BAN HIM
[05:31:04] <SirFinkus> BAN HIM
[05:31:06] <SirFinkus> BAN HIM
[05:31:10] <takyon> you probably had less than 5 in your life
[05:31:23] <mrcoolbp> beers need balance, I don't get the whole ADD TOO MUCH HOPS TO EVERYTHONG!!! mentality that is so prevalent these days
[05:31:24] <takyon> you have to get used to bitter beers anyway, it's a gradual process
[05:31:33] <takyon> it's called the bandwagon effect
[05:31:43] <mrcoolbp> you know what's great? DRY HOPPED beers, you get to actually taste the hops instead of sucking on bitter
[05:31:54] <takyon> when I first tasted a Sierra Nevada Torpedo it was tough to drink
[05:32:01] <mrcoolbp> aromatic hydrocarbons bitches
[05:32:02] <SirFinkus> I actually prefer the more balanced IPAs
[05:32:04] <takyon> now I'm very used to bitter flavor and can suck them down
[05:32:09] <Deucalion> mrcoolbp, make me do what? Kick EF? Sure - if he's in ranty all caps mode about niggers and whores up in here, he gets a kick. Hasn't been necessary of late though.
[05:32:17] <mrcoolbp> yup
[05:32:21] <mrcoolbp> that's what I'm talking about
[05:32:23] <takyon> well he hasn't been around much
[05:32:23] <SirFinkus> takyon try hoptimum
[05:32:30] <takyon> I have
[05:32:36] <mrcoolbp> Deucalion: proper channels my friend, that's your area
[05:32:37] <SirFinkus> that's some shit
[05:32:48] <mrcoolbp> Deucalion: I barely know how do even kick someone
[05:33:02] * takyon tempted to kick mrcoolbp
[05:33:02] -!- SoyCow3984 [SoyCow3984!~492ff263@x-49-99-649-89.hsd3.ma.comcast.net] has joined #Soylent

[05:33:20] * mrcoolbp still got it
[05:33:26] <takyon> oh shit
[05:33:26] <mrcoolbp> = p
[05:33:40] <takyon> was that a real user or just you
[05:33:46] <mrcoolbp> just me haha
[05:33:52] <mechanicjay> mrcoolbp: don't let the power go to your head
[05:33:55] <SirFinkus> I'm an asshole that sips vodka
[05:34:05] <takyon> it's hard to drink vodka straight
[05:34:11] <Deucalion> mrcoolbp, lazy way is the right click menu in hexchat... "Operator Actions" or some such
[05:34:16] <SirFinkus> not if it's decent
[05:34:20] <takyon> maybe so
[05:34:25] * SirFinkus likes Russian Standard
[05:34:31] <mrcoolbp> mechanicjay: dude, if that was the case we'd all be screwed, I have admin on everything except the servers ('cause I can barely SSH basically)
[05:34:56] <mrcoolbp> Deucalion: don't teach me these things!
[05:35:10] <mechanicjay> mrcoolbp: :)
[05:35:16] * Deucalion does not inform mrcoolbp about klines
[05:35:28] <mrcoolbp> Oh I already know about those
[05:35:33] <mrcoolbp> I k-lined EF once
[05:35:40] <mrcoolbp> he needed a timeout
[05:36:44] <Deucalion> There were times where he did. I must have done so a handful of times. Can't say I enjoy that though.
[05:37:24] <mrcoolbp> no, but he doesn't care
[05:37:52] <mrcoolbp> I've talked to him the next day, in fact, he's said "I'll be drinking later, If I get roudy just kick me" or whatever
[05:38:00] <mrcoolbp> like I said, decent guy (when sober)
[05:40:35] <Deucalion> Yeh, I'd have a beer with him, until the dusted extender comes out... then I'd be off like wiley coyote or something else fast. Jekyll n Hyde character.... maybe faux maybe not... makes shit interesting anyway.
[05:41:00] <mechanicjay> alright, guys, I'm going to pour myself another one and watch an episode of Knight Rider.
[05:41:06] <mrcoolbp> awesome
[05:41:09] <mrcoolbp> enjoy
[05:41:14] <mechanicjay> thanks!

[05:48:14] <Deucalion> anyone voiced can .op if necessary
[05:48:32] <mrcoolbp> uh...
[05:48:44] <mrcoolbp> we should devoice a few people then

[05:49:14] <SirFinkus> and certainly TheMightyBuzzard
[05:49:19] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: tru but I'm scared of angering him
[05:49:38] <mrcoolbp> he is mighty after all
[05:49:38] <SirFinkus> I can think of a few candidates to replace them...
[05:49:47] <Deucalion> Anyone with a blue dot can take ops by doing .op .... the peons with no dots cannot.... on the whole. In HexChat terms.
[05:49:48] <mrcoolbp> let me guess, SirFinkus?
[05:49:58] <SirFinkus> well, since you brought it up
[05:50:05] <mrcoolbp> they have a "+" for me
[05:50:31] <SirFinkus> that _NSAKEY guy looks pretty trustworthy too
[05:50:37] <mrcoolbp> Deucalion: I think it's time we devoice stderr, we kept it for a long time out of respect
[05:50:46] <SirFinkus> did you know the "S" in NSA stands for security?
[05:50:54] <mrcoolbp> yes
[05:50:57] <SirFinkus> security is his middle name!
[05:51:02] * mrcoolbp sighs

[05:53:01] <mrcoolbp> he breaks stuff anyway
[05:53:03] <Deucalion> fuck off :P
[05:53:05] <SirFinkus> and furthermore, he's a bit of an asshole

[05:53:10] <mrcoolbp> whoa now
[05:53:18] <SirFinkus> just a bit, calm down mrcoolbp
[05:53:18] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: now you've gone too far!
[05:53:23] <takyon> it's fine. i was testing to see if scrollback worked
[05:53:34] <SirFinkus> I didn't say he was a full asshole

[05:54:16] <SirFinkus> your utf8 is messed up or something
[05:54:18] <mrcoolbp> lol SirFinkus
[05:54:25] <takyon> hello darkness my old friend
[05:54:33] <Deucalion> Yes.... it should be like Yahoo Messenger that let you know whenever someone was typing something....... IRC=====Instant Messaging FTW!!1
[05:54:34] <mrcoolbp> great song
[05:54:41] <SirFinkus> quite spamming the channel with mojibake takyon
[05:54:43] <mrcoolbp> all I saw was *****
[05:54:51] <takyon> ummm
[05:55:06] <SirFinkus> if you don't, I'm going to have to ask mrcoolbp to kick you
[05:55:08] <takyon> I don't know who's lying anymore
[05:55:29] <takyon> you got me good
[05:55:33] <mrcoolbp> takyon: you're fine, we were just messin' my man
[05:57:12] <SirFinkus> I have to admit, even though I loathe pop music, that one is a fucking earworm
[05:57:14] <mrcoolbp> oh man I need to read TMB's journal more often: "Ever wonder who the top trolls are around these parts?" #3 is TMB hahahaha
[05:57:36] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: not pop anymore, that's vintage now
[05:57:39] <mrcoolbp> classic
[05:57:46] <SirFinkus> I don't get the lady gaga shit
[05:58:05] <Deucalion> As an IRC Admin... I see shit you're about to type before you even type it..... I see your thoughts, your machinations, what you think about typing then think better of it and don't type it. I see all that. But sadly it will all be lost like tears in rain... blah blah.... something. :D
[05:58:19] <takyon> hahah

[06:00:17] <mrcoolbp> meat dresse are tasty though
[06:00:22] <SirFinkus> and her schtick
[06:00:33] <SirFinkus> yeah, I'm sure she had it SO HARD in high school or whatever
[06:00:39] <mrcoolbp> dress/food duality as the scientists call it
[06:01:11] * mrcoolbp has one more before the imment bed calls
[06:01:30] <SirFinkus> oh, and on a semi-related note
[06:01:42] <SirFinkus> I fucking hate the lies people tell kids
[06:01:47] <SirFinkus> "it gets better"
[06:01:48] <SirFinkus> bullshit
[06:01:51] <SirFinkus> it gets worse
[06:02:05] <SirFinkus> that guy making fun of you for being "a fag" is now your boss
[06:02:10] <SirFinkus> it's all the same bullshit
[06:02:20] <mrcoolbp> no it's way more and way worse bullshit
[06:02:31] <mrcoolbp> but now we get drugs
[06:02:42] <SirFinkus> basically, shit gets worse, but you get better at dealing with it
[06:02:56] * mrcoolbp reiterates his previous statement
[06:03:14] <SirFinkus> well, that's naive too
[06:03:25] <SirFinkus> high school students don't have access to drugs?
[06:03:38] <mrcoolbp> well I can take them legally now = p
[06:03:45] <SirFinkus> not the good ones
[06:03:51] <mrcoolbp> says you
[06:04:14] <SirFinkus> you got a script for mushrooms?
[06:04:18] <mrcoolbp> caffeine, nicotine (vape), alcohol, and weed are all perfcectly fine
[06:04:24] * SirFinkus wants in on that scam
[06:04:33] <mrcoolbp> honestly I would take mushrooms again but not more than once/year
[06:04:46] <SirFinkus> sounds about right
[06:05:02] <SirFinkus> best drug for dealing with bullshit
[06:05:18] <mrcoolbp> you may have a lower volume of bullshit than I
[06:05:24] <SirFinkus> probably
[06:05:45] <SirFinkus> but mushrooms make you realize that the asteroid is going to take out your asshole boss as well as you

[06:05:56] <shekel> ^ 03[YTP] Pooping the Charts Vol. 5 - Sex-Crazed Pop Stars - YouTube
[06:05:59] * mrcoolbp doesn't need mushrooms for that
[06:06:00] <SirFinkus> and the universe won't even notice
[06:06:09] <SirFinkus> less than you notice a red blood cell dying
[06:06:21] <takyon> nobody has a script for mushrooms (in the U.S.)
[06:06:24] <mrcoolbp> it will not, but I still have to deal with the guy until that asteriod decides to come around
[06:06:37] <mrcoolbp> takyon: that is correct, have a cookie
[06:06:51] <SirFinkus> well, not technically
[06:06:59] <SirFinkus> there are limited clinical trials in the US
[06:07:02] <SirFinkus> very limited
[06:07:02] <mrcoolbp> if I want to keep my job yeah basically
[06:07:05] <mrcoolbp> oh
[06:07:15] <SirFinkus> can't really drug test for shrooms
[06:07:20] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: really? that's odd
[06:07:27] <SirFinkus> that's out of your system in 48 hours or something
[06:07:33] <Deucalion> can't even pick the damn things here now without being a crim. Used to be they were legit to possess unless processed (dried or w/e). But no... thou shalt not giggle in the privacy of your own home any more... we DEMAND absolute misery and no escapism from it.
[06:07:33] <mrcoolbp> not sure what purpose they serve medically
[06:07:40] <SirFinkus> they barely even test for them
[06:08:07] <takyon> lsd/shrooms do not stay in your system for more than 1-3 days
[06:08:21] <SirFinkus> most of the trails are dealing with end of life anxiety
[06:08:27] <takyon> unlike weed which can be detected within the month
[06:08:33] <SirFinkus> and they show promising results
[06:08:35] <mrcoolbp> they stay in your spine forever though! Careful, flashbacks and stuff!!!

[06:08:43] <takyon> urban legend
[06:08:45] <mrcoolbp> yup
[06:09:21] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: for end of life anxiety you should be able to take anyting you want IMO
[06:09:41] <mrcoolbp> don't need a study for that
[06:09:52] <Deucalion> Including requesting a lethal overdose IMO
[06:10:16] <SirFinkus> it's anecdotal, but I've been in some dark places, and I've gotten some powerful changes in perspective due to certain mushrooms
[06:10:18] <mrcoolbp> "You're dying" "can I take anything I want now?" "sure, you're gonna die either way"
[06:10:27] <SirFinkus> so I'll pick them if I find them in the woods
[06:10:33] <SirFinkus> and save them for a rainy day
[06:10:40] <Deucalion> My life, I choose how to go out.... Dignitas has it right.
[06:10:41] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: carefull of doing that though
[06:10:47] <SirFinkus> I am

[06:13:25] <Deucalion> I only ever dabbled with liberty caps.... they'r pretty distinctive just by shape. The others scare me big time... one mistake and it's a headstone rather than happy times that awaits.
[06:13:41] <mrcoolbp> Deucalion: hence him taking spore prints
[06:13:53] <mrcoolbp> does anyone do game develpment in here? I'm trying to get into UE4
[06:13:54] <takyon> that's why you get a spore syringe
[06:13:59] <takyon> allegedly
[06:14:11] <mrcoolbp> takyon: right, allegedly
[06:14:13] <SirFinkus> one of my favorite pictures http://i.imgur.com
[06:14:19] <SirFinkus> idk what it was though
[06:14:33] <takyon> neato
[06:14:34] <mrcoolbp> not psylocybin (sp?)
[06:14:42] <SirFinkus> no
[06:14:48] <mrcoolbp> nope
[06:14:54] <SirFinkus> but interesting nonetheless
[06:15:03] <takyon> looks like a random fungus that grows on rotten wood
[06:15:07] <SirFinkus> white balance is fucked, but whatever
[06:15:11] <SirFinkus> I liked it
[06:15:23] <SirFinkus> saw a beautiful destroying angel once, but no camera
[06:15:40] <SirFinkus> my favorite mushroom aesthetically
[06:15:45] <mrcoolbp> remember when we didn't have cameras on us AT ALL TIMES ??
[06:15:50] <takyon> yup
[06:15:53] <SirFinkus> I didn't take a picture of it
[06:15:54] <mrcoolbp> yeah that sucked
[06:16:01] <SirFinkus> I kick myself all the time
[06:16:17] <takyon> without smartphones there would be no #BlackLivesMatter
[06:16:50] <Deucalion> I gave up when they made it a crime to be seen in the vicinity of a mushroom here. Probably manage to get convicted for "processing" mushrooms just by dint of the fact they had been in a pocket for 30 minutes and dried a little... that would be a class A drug conviction... blam 20 years.
[06:16:57] <mrcoolbp> I'm not so sure smartphones are to blame but they didn't help?
[06:17:21] <takyon> smartphones allow ubiquitous videography
[06:17:23] <mrcoolbp> Deucalion: yah your country is fucked (from the takes-one-to-know-one dept.)
[06:17:52] <SirFinkus> I'm jealous of one UK law
[06:17:54] * chromas passes out purple drank
[06:17:55] <SirFinkus> forgot the name
[06:18:03] <Deucalion> mrcoolbp, ~sigh~ smile for the camera
[06:18:05] <mrcoolbp> takyon: they encourage it but that was an inevitble given the march of tech
[06:18:10] <takyon> I might start growing mushrooms
[06:18:12] <SirFinkus> but you can wander around in fields without trespassing
[06:18:31] <SirFinkus> it's some synonym for wandering
[06:18:32] <mrcoolbp> Deucalion: yeah that's one of the weirder ones for me, learning about the CCTV over there
[06:18:39] <SirFinkus> but some weird british word
[06:18:41] <takyon> legal ones of course, cough
[06:18:43] <Deucalion> SirFinkus, only in Scotland.... they have right to roam. In the rest of the UK... public footpaths only.
[06:18:56] <mrcoolbp> really? damn
[06:18:59] <SirFinkus> fucking lame
[06:19:03] <mrcoolbp> wicked lame
[06:19:23] <mrcoolbp> shit just gave away my location via vernacular
[06:19:28] <SirFinkus> well, I wouldn't mind wandering around in scotland
[06:19:39] <SirFinkus> stunning topography from what I've seen
[06:19:53] <mrcoolbp> yeah it looks awesome, I have some heritage there
[06:19:57] <takyon> don't bother with wandering and picking. it might be cool and natural, but you could get poisoned. better for spores to accidentally land into your possession, and accidentally start growing in your terrarium
[06:20:01] <SirFinkus> plenty of sheep to fuck
[06:20:18] <mrcoolbp> well that's my queue
[06:20:28] <SirFinkus> but it's fun takyon
[06:20:40] <SirFinkus> and not *super* dangerous if you do your homework
[06:20:45] <takyon> "queue"
[06:21:02] <mrcoolbp> s'what I said
[06:21:08] <takyon> cue
[06:21:11] <SirFinkus> que?
[06:21:11] <mrcoolbp> ug
[06:21:22] <mrcoolbp> ewe?
[06:21:44] <Deucalion> Yup... Scotland is beautiful.... just bring a sturdy tent and bag to sleep in if coming any time other than summer. Oh.. and some midge repellent if around the lochs... I guess it's our Canada in a way.
[06:22:02] <SirFinkus> I'm more afraid commuting on my bike to one of the places I know than eating the mushrooms
[06:22:50] <mrcoolbp> SirFinkus: a/s/l ?
[06:22:59] <takyon> you get a better yield from growing them
[06:23:04] * Deucalion feels uncomfortable
[06:23:04] <SirFinkus> 14/f/cali
[06:23:09] <mrcoolbp> bahahahaha
[06:25:59] * Deucalion notices it is 6am++, promptly passes out. Be well fellow soylenteers emanates in snored parlance.

[09:25:02] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2171
[09:25:11] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: good morning!
[09:26:04] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: I've have a request for ya... could you please update MrPlow so that when he/she/it submits a story on a user's behalf, it credits the story to the submitter instead of to MrPlow?
[09:27:59] <Bytram> I understand that there may be a disconnect between a user's IRC nick and their SN nick, but there is the SN API which could check to see if the suggested nick is valid and insert something like "[not a valid SN nick]" in the submission.
[09:28:54] <Bytram> for a concrete example of this, I am looking at this submission: https://soylentnews.org
[09:28:55] <shekel> ^ 03SN Submission by MrPlow: Yahoo's Employee Ranking Targeted in Mass Termination Lawsuit
[09:29:18] <Bytram> <a href="//soylentnews.org/~MrPlow/">MrPlow</a> writes:Submitted via IRC for qkontinuum
[09:29:22] <Bytram> should be something like:
[09:31:25] <Bytram> <a href="//soylentnews.org/~qkontinuum/">qkontinuum</a> [not a valid SN nick] writes:Submitted via IRC by MrPlow.
[09:32:23] <Bytram> (the SN nick would be: "q.kontinuum"
[09:35:23] <Bytram> on second thought, this would be a better phrasing:
[09:36:28] <Bytram> <a href="//soylentnews.org/~qkontinuum/">qkontinuum</a> [Not a valid SN nick] (submitted via <a href="http://chat.soylentnews.org/">IRC</a> by MrPlow) writes:
[09:36:28] <shekel> ^ 03SoylentNews Web IRC (Iris)
[09:37:02] <Bytram> much obliged if you can pull that off!
[09:37:30] <Bytram> if the API stuff is too much, just replace the bracketed text with '[unconfirmed SN nick]' or somesuch.
[10:08:25] Bytram is now known as Bytram|away
[10:08:59] <Bytram|away> enough with the late-night stuff; heading back to bed. have a great day everyone!

[11:16:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram|away, no, I cannot do that. MrPlow would have to log in as them with their password.
[11:29:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> Alternatively the API would have to be admin pages friendly and he would have to have editor rights.
[11:36:55] -!- Subsentient has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[11:40:49] <crutchy> nah wouldn't have to do that
[11:42:07] <crutchy> maybe just have a squiz at https://soylentnews.org and if it exists then its a valid SN username
[11:42:08] <shekel> ^ 03400 Bad Request
[11:42:53] <crutchy> or could do an api call i guess
[11:44:54] <crutchy> if someone's irc nick doesn't match SN username, well then it falls in the unconfirmed category :p
[11:45:44] <crutchy> or you could make a #submitassociate %SNusername% command
[11:45:54] <crutchy> to associate your nick with a SN username
[11:48:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, " <a href="//soylentnews.org/~MrPlow/">MrPlow</a> writes:" is added by rehash and set to the submitting user's name.
[11:49:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's not part of the submission
[11:49:46] <crutchy> oh
[11:49:54] <crutchy> i thought there was a submitter name field
[11:50:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> is but i shudder to think what would happen if it were not the same as the cookie'd user's nick.
[11:50:44] <crutchy> dunno
[11:50:51] <crutchy> might be worth a test maybe
[11:51:01] <crutchy> i thought it just accepted it

[11:54:03] <crutchy> ah
[11:55:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> editors can currently change MrPlow and the username and have the proper person credited, no real difference between an unlinked nick and what we have now.

[11:55:50] <crutchy> looks like it strips tags in your name field too
[11:56:11] <crutchy> so Bytram|away wants the link i guess, and not just the name?
[11:56:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup
[11:57:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> spose i could take an associated nick from a #submitass database and link all submissions by someone to that nick as the first line of the submission.
[11:58:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> so they just delete the normal ... line and let the new one take precedence.
[11:58:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, wait, p tags aren't allowed arguments.
[11:58:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> rehash strips em
[11:59:16] <crutchy> either that or do a token auth for the api and allow MrPlow direct access to the submissions table
[11:59:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit no
[11:59:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> i do not want a half-baked irc bot having access to the production db
[11:59:59] <crutchy> haha
[12:00:06] <crutchy> fair enough
[12:00:20] <crutchy> though he wouldn't have direct access. it would be through the api
[12:00:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya know, if i did a ... they could copy from the preview and paste to the edity box
[12:01:45] <crutchy> i have nfi how the editor shit looks/works
[12:02:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i think that's the way to go. if they can't be arsed to ^C ^V they can suck it.
[12:02:17] <crutchy> lol
[12:03:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll fix it at some later date though. time for my morning drugs, more coffee, and a cigarette.

[18:06:56] * cmn32480 feels the love... like a clue by four
[18:07:08] <janrinok> lol - it's good to be back
[18:07:26] <cmn32480> Bytram|away was happy to hear you have returned
[18:07:49] <cmn32480> I sent him a text earlier I could see the smile through the reply
[18:07:50] <janrinok> I am pleased to be back, although how much 'back' is yet to be seen
[18:08:01] <cmn32480> I think it touched in the back of his head
[18:08:14] <cmn32480> ANY back means things are headed in the right direction
[18:08:58] <cmn32480> 5 minutes a day of normal is far more than you ahve had recently
[18:09:11] <janrinok> true, although S is still disappointed that she is now much less capable than she was before the ops. However, the pain is now gone and she is actually much healthier for it
[18:10:41] <cmn32480> it's an unfortunate trade off. but she is progressing back toward where she was, yes?
[18:11:23] <janrinok> we think so, but no-one can actually say what the outcome will eventually be. It is different for each person
[18:11:32] <cmn32480> understood.
[18:12:48] <janrinok> so are the kids all in the basement and the mums all in the kitchen?
[18:13:04] <cmn32480> and I'm hiding in the home office with the one other Dad that is here
[18:13:18] <janrinok> any beer involved yet?
[18:13:26] <cmn32480> not yet
[18:13:34] <cmn32480> it's only 1:15pm
[18:13:41] <janrinok> so the situation isn't too serious yet then
[18:14:13] <cmn32480> not.. but I'm considering closing and bolting the door
[18:14:45] <janrinok> or at least locking the basement door...
[18:15:53] <janrinok> I mean, just how much damage can a handful of 4-year-olds do? /me is ignoring his own experiences of children and grandchildren
[18:16:28] <cmn32480> really??????
[18:16:31] <cmn32480> seriously???
[18:16:37] <cmn32480> are you drunk??
[18:16:50] <janrinok> not yet, but I might have the odd drink later
[18:17:22] <janrinok> my own children were only 1 level below nuclear in terms of destructive capability at that age
[18:17:33] <cmn32480> how many were there?
[18:17:55] <janrinok> 2 children and 4 g'children
[18:18:06] <cmn32480> I have 3, plus the 4 additional girls, plus one older brother same age as my oldest taht is here
[18:18:08] <janrinok> ... but I started young
[18:18:18] <cmn32480> so there are 8 total kids here
[18:19:16] <janrinok> keep a bucket of sweets and chocolate handy in case things get out of hand. Stuff the kids full of it and then send them home to be sick in their own homes
[18:19:29] <cmn32480> we discussed that already
[18:19:38] <janrinok> great minds ....
[18:20:19] <cmn32480> yeah
[18:20:33] <cmn32480> the screaming and squealing are audible through the door
[18:21:06] * cmn32480 locks the door... and hopes they don't ahve blasters
[18:21:12] <janrinok> lol
[18:21:49] <janrinok> or all shoot as badly as star wars characters
[18:22:40] <cmn32480> 'zactlyu
[18:23:33] <cmn32480> my typoing hasn't gotten any better
[18:24:10] <janrinok> I was trying to think of some witty comment but thought against it
[18:24:23] <chromas> typo? or anime nerdism?
[18:24:34] <chromas> zactury-u!
[18:24:34] <janrinok> mocking your typing
[18:24:35] <cmn32480> why witty? you grew a sense of humor in your absence?
[18:24:43] <janrinok> nope
[18:24:56] <janrinok> which is why I didn't write anything in the end
[18:25:02] <cmn32480> don't over exert yourself.
[18:25:15] <janrinok> I'm intentionally restraining myself
[18:25:28] <cmn32480> I'll just bet you are
[18:25:32] * cmn32480 rolls his eyes
[18:26:04] <janrinok> I hope your eyes are rolling synchronously in your head, and not across the floor like marbles
[18:26:43] <cmn32480> one of each
[18:27:09] <janrinok> )
[18:33:21] <janrinok> its early evening here and there is a storm blowing outside. Got the log fire lit and plenty of wood supplies. Guess we are in for a cosy night
[18:33:34] <cmn32480> sounds lnice
[18:33:46] <cmn32480> you see the pics I sent of all the snow?
[18:34:04] <janrinok> yep - thanks for them
[18:34:11] <cmn32480> it was deep
[18:34:46] <janrinok> we've not had snow here this winter, but plenty of wind and rain
[18:35:44] <cmn32480> we had a winters worth of snow in 36 hours
[18:35:59] <cmn32480> we ended up w/ almost a meter of snow from that storm
[18:37:15] <janrinok> it featured so much on European news channels that some viewers were complaining about the amount of time being spent reporting it compared with wars, terrorists and immigrants
[18:37:16] <cmn32480> nice wood fire... storm blowing outside... sounds like a nice way to spend an evening.... want me to send over the kids to ruin it?
[18:37:24] <janrinok> no thanks
[18:37:37] <janrinok> you brought this on yourself
[18:37:46] <cmn32480> too lalte... thaey ought to be knocking on the door momentarily
[18:38:31] <janrinok> tell them to each bring a log on their way in
[18:38:32] <cmn32480> I know... and after we figured out what caused it... well... J put a stop to THAT
[18:38:36] <cmn32480> will do.
[18:38:52] <cmn32480> but they are too young to use an ax... so you'll have to split them
[18:39:12] <janrinok> I draw the line at splitting kids - Oh, you mean the logs
[18:39:30] <cmn32480> you can split the kids... just put plastic down first to avoid ruining the carpet
[18:39:55] <janrinok> I can only find an axe, will that do instead of a US ax?
[18:40:05] <cmn32480> certainly
[18:40:23] <cmn32480> my ax is imperial anyway, I'd bet your axe is metric
[18:41:02] <janrinok> I've checked it is big and heavy - I think that is metric
[18:41:11] <cmn32480> sure.. that'd work
[18:41:48] <cmn32480> S been able to go out at all?
[18:41:51] <chromas> Freezing ahead of time keeps the cleanup minimal
[18:42:00] <cmn32480> good point chromas!
[18:42:09] <janrinok> noted - thx chromas
[18:43:20] <janrinok> S spends each day in a special wheelchair, so about 8 hours in all, and the rest of the time in bed. But when you can't actually grip things it is surprising what needs to be done to help
[18:43:42] <cmn32480> understood
[18:44:04] <cmn32480> I'm sure that spring will be welcome... to be out in the garden
[18:44:56] <janrinok> I have nursing support for the two big jobs of the day, getting her up and putting her back to bed, but the rest of it is up to me. Yes, I'm hoping the Spring will arrive early so that she can sit outside some
[18:45:05] <cmn32480> my kids there yet?
[18:45:12] <cmn32480> your house oughta be destroyed by now
[18:45:32] <janrinok> I think they might of gone to the wrong house, but I didn't put any external lights on to check
[18:45:41] <cmn32480> hmmmmm
[18:45:49] * cmn32480 fires up the GPS tracker
[18:46:14] <cmn32480> seems they are on their way back here...
[18:46:21] * cmn32480 curses silently
[18:46:30] <janrinok> oh good, can I have my logs back please?
[18:46:45] <cmn32480> do those have GPS trackers on them?
[18:46:51] <janrinok> nope
[18:47:05] <cmn32480> then I am absolutely certain the kids left them on the pile where they found them
[18:47:06] <chromas> They return home automatically. They're backlogs
[18:47:19] <janrinok> very quick and witty
[18:47:38] <cmn32480> better than back orders
[18:48:13] <janrinok> still as sharp as ever, even if you can't type
[18:48:34] <cmn32480> sharp like a marble
[18:49:58] <cmn32480> kids just walked in
[18:50:04] <janrinok> oh dear
[18:50:13] <cmn32480> said they knocked... you didn't answer
[18:50:28] <cmn32480> green 3 story in central london, right?
[18:50:35] <janrinok> you didn't tell me I had to answer....
[18:50:55] <cmn32480> sigh... oldest showed me how he was reading the map
[18:50:56] <janrinok> and that place is close enough
[18:51:03] * cmn32480 rotates the map 180 degrees
[18:51:18] <chromas> then reverses it
[18:51:37] <janrinok> they still found their way back then ....
[18:51:43] <cmn32480> sure
[18:51:54] <cmn32480> homing pigeons
[18:52:06] <janrinok> you breed some funny kids
[18:52:18] <cmn32480> they followed the homing pigeons
[18:53:23] <janrinok> you need to train your homing pigeons to check that they aren't be followed
[18:54:13] <cmn32480> or train them to get to your house
[18:54:43] <janrinok> well, if they were flying around London they weren't very close at all
[18:55:01] <cmn32480> they only know how to get HERE... not THERE
[18:55:16] <cmn32480> brb
[18:55:44] <janrinok> And the French will quite happily eat pigeons so they take their life into their own hands (wings?) if they turn up here

[21:18:51] <Bytram> mare sea
[21:19:11] <Gravis> you found it in a moon crater?
[21:19:23] <Bytram> Good One! ROFL!
[21:19:58] <Gravis> perhaps you meant "merci"
[21:20:04] <Bytram> reminds me of a gemstone: aquamarine; aqua is... water. marine means... water. Creative, eh?
[21:20:33] <Bytram> but of course, mon ami... I was just hooked on fonix
[21:21:02] <Bytram> afk (fetching lunch)
[21:21:13] <Gravis> Bytram: aqua is water. marine means it's of water.
[21:21:42] <Gravis> which is why marine is green
[21:22:05] <Bytram> yeah, I know that, but still... the name just makes me laugh every time I see it.
[21:22:19] * Bytram notes aquamarine tends to a very light blue
[21:24:27] <Gravis> it would be better if colors refered to chemicals
[21:25:05] <Gravis> like oxygen would be blue
[21:25:15] * Bytram immediately wonders what chemical would represent 'orange'
[21:25:27] <Bytram> maybe could find something that rhyes with THAT!
[21:26:13] <Bytram> s/rhyes/rhymes/
[21:26:13] <sedctl> <Bytram> maybe could find something that rhymes with THAT!
[21:27:45] <Gravis> Bytram: fluorine
[21:27:57] <Gravis> or neon
[21:28:02] <Bytram> hmm, none of the 12 traditional birthstones are colored orange...
[21:28:12] <Bytram> that could work
[21:30:06] <Gravis> november is pretty close
[21:30:50] <Gravis> i mean, it might as well be named cirtrius/orange
[21:31:04] <Gravis> citrius*
[21:31:51] <Bytram> true that, 'citrine' evokes 'citrus' and the stones I've seen run the gamut from lemon to orange-ish.
[21:32:35] <Gravis> Bytram: though i hardly think gemstones are worth giving such names much less names of colors
[21:32:52] <Gravis> what they really are is specific chemicals
[21:33:03] <Gravis> well... molecules
[21:33:27] <Gravis> and i just spilled water on my shirt...
[21:33:30] <Gravis> <_<;
[21:33:42] <Bytram> I suspect some gemstone names are shorter and easier to pronounce than the names of their component elements
[21:34:08] <Bytram> e.g. sapphire is a corundum that has impurities that give it a blue color; change those impurities and you get ruby.
[21:34:25] * Bytram hopes that Gravis did not forget his towel
[21:34:27] <Bytram> =)
[21:34:39] <Gravis> a had a towel nearby
[21:35:16] <Bytram> YYAY!
[21:35:21] <Bytram> oh yeah, lunch! brb
[21:43:35] <Gravis> Bytram: how to calculate the interaction of electromagnetic waves on elements is an interesting problem to ponder
[21:43:52] <Bytram> agreed!
[21:44:45] <Bytram> just picturing the dislocations in the crystal latice struxture caused by different 'impurities' causes different refraction amounts and colord
[21:44:49] <Bytram> fascinating
[21:45:43] <Gravis> well that and it's not restricted to light but includes heat, radio, xray and gamma
[21:46:30] <Bytram> ooooh, that's right!
[21:47:10] <Gravis> in theory a frequency that can only be caught by a certain element could communicate from any point to another
[21:47:13] <Bytram> it's obvious, now that you mention it, but that thought never crossed my mind.
[21:47:22] <Gravis> Bytram: i know, right!
[21:47:28] <Bytram> though, I prolly should have.
[21:48:01] <Bytram> alexandrite is bi-something-or-other; looks different under sunlight and fluorescent lighting
[21:48:03] <Bytram> DOH!
[21:48:24] <Gravis> they question is, would intersteller communications be best using a very specific frequency that only an artificial element could catch?
[21:48:41] <Gravis> or maybe just super heavy
[21:49:24] <Bytram> interesting.. I can see a couple of things with that -- curious as to your motivation? only talk to the 'smart' ones...
[21:49:58] * Bytram notes that would be the ones who *could* come on over and kill us all
[21:50:30] <Bytram> are there any frequencies we can NOT detect?
[21:50:42] <Gravis> Bytram: well it would be a way to avoid interference by things that aren't stars
[21:51:03] <Bytram> hmmm, thinking
[21:51:05] <Gravis> well... things that have a lot of gravity
[21:51:36] <Gravis> especially if it can go through solid matter
[21:51:42] <Bytram> that assumes there are freqs that stars DO NOT shine/issue/whatever
[21:52:14] <Bytram> well, neutrinos are NOT heavy, but they can go through stuff like crazy
[21:52:31] <Gravis> well yeah... but what can we catch them with?
[21:52:46] <Gravis> and they are a bit... popular in the universe
[21:52:54] <Bytram> well, we ARE doing it already... I just don't know how
[21:53:08] <Gravis> Bytram: they catch it by luck and a lot of heavy metals
[21:53:13] <Gravis> that are very cold
[21:53:18] <Bytram> ROFLMAO! 'a bit popular' ??

[21:59:18] <Gravis> but generally making an element really cold and then checking when it gets energy is a popular detection method
[21:59:41] <Gravis> hmm... might have been cobalt for gravity waves but who knows :P
[22:00:00] <Bytram> nod nod; if you have something 'weak' to measure, minimize thenoise and so boost the signal
[22:00:14] <Bytram> or, instead of making bigger needles, make smaller haystacks
[22:00:33] <Gravis> anyway... neutrinos are nice an all but they are quite common in the universe
[22:01:12] <Bytram> true, but collimated and pulsed at regular intervals? not so much
[22:01:16] <Bytram> send morse code
[22:01:44] <Gravis> but yeah... figuring out interstellar communications before actually going places would make us a target
[22:01:58] <Gravis> Bytram: i see what you are saying
[22:02:24] <Gravis> Bytram: probably could be applied in the same way as radiowaves
[22:02:34] <Bytram> So, plant the transmitter somewhere else where they won't find US! Oh, wait... =)

[22:21:00] <Gravis> Bytram: i had some thing like the IBM PC XT
[22:21:13] <Gravis> had a 10MB HDD

[22:23:04] <Bytram> had tro partition as 32MB and 8MB because DOS could not address more than 32MB in one partition at the time.

[22:30:26] <crutchy> free "old" computers from work are the best ones eh
[22:30:45] <Gravis> Bytram: seems like you would be well off to write a converter program
[22:30:47] <Bytram> as I need to keep them working, I kinda need a second computer that I can use, in parallel, to convert things as I go.
[22:31:16] <crutchy> Bytram, or a vbox :)
[22:31:25] <Bytram> tempting but I've used all manner of batch tricks to get 'em to do what I wanted.

[22:32:21] <chromas> there are none
[22:32:21] <Bytram> correction: separate boxes AND screens.
[22:32:43] <Bytram> if only there had been a passable version of bash 20 years ago...
[22:33:29] <Bytram> there's also the matter of different path separator chars between windows/dos and linux/unix

[22:34:00] * chromas wonders if wine would work
[22:34:09] <chromas> it's got CMD.EXE and stuff
[22:34:13] <Bytram> oh, don't get me wrong, I could prolly do 80-90% of the conversion automatically,
[22:34:18] <crutchy> dos batch programs were pretty cool back in the day
[22:34:29] <Gravis> chromas: C is portable
[22:34:35] <chromas> and unix was never cool ;)
[22:34:39] <chromas> bash isn't C
[22:34:54] <Gravis> chromas: duh
[22:35:03] <crutchy> prolly don't really wanna be compiling after every change either
[22:35:03] <chromas> Exactly. Duh
[22:35:31] <Gravis> chromas: C is a portable language. bash is not.
[22:35:32] <crutchy> scripts be scripts
[22:35:36] <Bytram> yuppers. I've written 'shell' programs in everything of DEC DCL, IBM JCL, EXEC, EXEC 2, REXX, sh, csh, tcl/tk, .bat, bash, OS/2 .CMD, and prolly some others I don't recall offhand
[22:35:42] <chromas> Right, and nobody writes scripts in C
[22:35:58] <Gravis> chromas: says you
[22:36:00] <chromas> what you need is a tool that converts your batch files to java and XML
[22:36:05] <crutchy> could use pascal though :D
[22:36:07] <cmn32480> C++++
[22:36:08] <chromas> if it compiles, it's not a script
[22:36:16] <Bytram> Time for me to take a nap.
[22:36:50] <Gravis> chromas: touche... however, there are shells that take C as an input
[22:37:09] <Bytram> Gravis: I *thoroughly* enjoyed our conversation today, wide-ranging with a nice bit of intellectual twists and turns!
[22:37:21] <crutchy> on no socialist dogma!
[22:37:27] <crutchy> s/on/and/
[22:37:27] <sedctl> <crutchy> and no socialist dogma!
[22:37:35] <chromas> is that what csh does? does it require a semicolon after each command?
[22:37:36] <Gravis> Bytram: i don't take good news well!
[22:37:36] <Bytram> crutchy: Oh, yeah, I programmed (professionally) in pascal, too.
[22:37:44] * Gravis throws garbage at Bytram
[22:37:45] <Bytram> ROFLMAO!
[22:37:58] <Bytram> it gets easier with practice.
[22:38:05] * Bytram is willing to help
[22:38:18] <Bytram> but seriously, I *did* have fun.
[22:38:26] * Gravis throws the garbage can too
[22:38:26] <crutchy> Gravis, learn pascal... it's like intellectual marajuana :D
[22:38:29] <Bytram> and, I'm also quite knackered. time for a nap.
[22:38:30] <cmn32480> ~socialist crutchy
[22:38:32] <exec> crutchy, YOU'RE a SOCIALIST!
[22:38:36] <crutchy> lol
[22:38:43] <crutchy> ~g'day cmn32480
[22:38:45] * exec abnormally hurls a DD cup of g'day juice at cmn32480
[22:38:46] <Bytram> crutchy: and then move on to Modula 2!!
[22:38:50] <Bytram> cmn32480: !!
[22:38:51] <Gravis> cmn32480: nah, crutchy is just a fool.
[22:38:58] <cmn32480> bytram !!
[22:38:58] <crutchy> hehe true
[22:39:28] <Bytram> cmn32480: !!
[22:39:35] <Bytram> how's your ears?
[22:39:36] <crutchy> ~fight
[22:39:37] <exec> oi! why don't ya choke on some pig vomit, ya vagina!
[22:39:42] <Bytram> still ringing from the noise of all those kids?
[22:39:45] <cmn32480> yes
[22:39:54] <cmn32480> but it's been quiet for a few hours
[22:39:56] <crutchy> birthday party?
[22:40:01] <chromas> pierced ears
[22:40:11] <crutchy> teenagers
[22:40:24] <cmn32480> only pierced by the shrieks of 4 year old girls
[22:40:36] * Bytram looks around for a big tub of ear plugs
[22:40:41] <crutchy> ergh... that's why god invented sheds
[22:40:48] * Bytram and maybe some muzzles
[22:41:04] <chromas> they use ear grommets now :|
[22:41:10] <Bytram> to put the kids into, or to hide in to get away from them?
[22:41:34] <Bytram> chromas: yep, they call it gaging
[22:41:48] <Bytram> ok, gtg
[22:41:50] <chromas> it's so you can hang them out to dry
[22:41:53] <Bytram> have fun, kids!
[22:41:58] <Bytram> ewwwww
[22:41:58] * chromas shrieks
[22:42:09] Bytram is now known as Bytram|away
[22:42:34] <chromas> I wonder if those kids getting all the facial piercings will grow up to be professional motion capture actors
[22:42:38] <cmn32480> we hid in the office
[22:43:26] <crutchy> freckles are cool again!
[22:43:51] <cmn32480> oh hot red heads they were never uncool
[22:48:05] <SirFinkus> ok, FINKRANT™ time
[22:48:14] <SirFinkus> so I get some pizza last night
[22:48:18] <SirFinkus> bring home leftovers
[22:48:24] <SirFinkus> wake up this morning
[22:48:29] * chromas notices that trademark isn't registered
[22:48:52] <SirFinkus> my sister hasn't eaten the leftovers (which would have been impolite, but hey, it's pizza, not half a sandwich)
[22:49:02] <SirFinkus> but she has gone through EVERY SLICE
[22:49:15] <SirFinkus> AND PICKED OFF THE PEPPERONI AND SAUSAGE AND EATEN THAT
[22:49:20] <SirFinkus> WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT
[22:49:31] <SirFinkus> JUST EATING THE TOPPINGS OFF SOMEONE ELSE'S PIZZA?
[22:49:45] <SirFinkus> it's almost a deliberate "fuck you"
[22:49:52] <chromas> Pepperoni Is for Assholes and Idiots. So an asshole I guess 😉
[22:50:00] <SirFinkus> shut up maddox
[22:50:05] <SirFinkus> your podcast is shit
[22:50:12] <chromas> It is
[22:50:14] <SirFinkus> and so is your website
[22:50:23] <SirFinkus> actually, the podcast is pretty good
[22:50:34] <SirFinkus> I can't lie like that
[22:50:49] <SirFinkus> I've met maddox once, he's got dead eyes
[22:51:10] <chromas> Duh. Men don't have feelings
[22:51:25] <SirFinkus> naw, he looked like he was about to kill himself
[22:52:34] <chromas> Well he is from Utah, so
[22:55:56] * SirFinkus grumpily eats his plain cheese pizza
[22:57:54] <crutchy> coffee++
[22:57:54] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2172
[22:58:20] <dyingtolive> dude, why do you have a plain cheese pizza? that's stupid. you should, like, have gotten some toppings or something. pepperoni is pretty good.
[22:58:31] <crutchy> hahaha
[22:58:35] <dyingtolive> plain cheese is for pesants.
[22:58:39] <dyingtolive> :D
[22:58:51] <cmn32480> I prefer sausage
[22:58:59] <crutchy> wtf is pepperoni anyway?
[22:59:06] <crutchy> is that like salami?
[22:59:09] <cmn32480> like spicy tubesteak
[22:59:14] <cmn32480> nograb
[22:59:38] <crutchy> shredded ham is popular here, but i hate it
[23:00:04] <SirFinkus> some motherfuckers
[23:00:09] <SirFinkus> put
[23:00:09] <SirFinkus> fucking
[23:00:12] <SirFinkus> PINEAPPLE on that shit
[23:00:16] <cmn32480> ~g pepperoni
[23:00:16] <crutchy> well, not really shredded. sort of like little ham noodles
[23:00:18] <exec> [google] https://en.wikipedia.org
[23:00:18] <exec> [google] https://en.wikipedia.org
[23:00:28] <dyingtolive> pineapple and bacon is pretty good.
[23:00:28] <crutchy> lol i dunno why exec is echoing there
[23:01:10] <SirFinkus> pineapple on a pizza is garbage
[23:01:11] <crutchy> i usually get salami, mozzarella, basil and onion
[23:01:23] <crutchy> oh and fresh tomato
[23:01:45] <chromas> ~pimpslap crutchy
[23:02:14] <SirFinkus> acceptable crutchy
[23:02:38] <dyingtolive> my favorite was actually a veggie one that i've only seen in one place, and i don't live close to it anymore. goat cheese, garlic cloves, onion and... leeks i think it was?
[23:02:39] <crutchy> it starts of as an 'american', but i deselect the ham, cheese and whatever else is normally on it :p
[23:02:51] <crutchy> oh normal salami i think
[23:02:55] <crutchy> i put hot salami on
[23:02:57] <SirFinkus> lol
[23:03:08] <SirFinkus> when we put ham on our pizza, we call it canadian bacon
[23:03:16] <SirFinkus> everybody's trying to pass the buck on that one
[23:03:44] <crutchy> hehe i have nfi how they figured this was american, but if you go to any pizza shop in straya you'll see the same thing
[23:04:14] <crutchy> american pizza according to aussies is apparently cheese, ham and salami
[23:07:59] <cmn32480> aussies are wrong
[23:08:01] <cmn32480> and weird
[23:08:07] <crutchy> yeah i agree
[23:08:40] <cmn32480> the first step is admitting you ahve a problem'
[23:09:05] <crutchy> one down, only 20-odd million to go :p
[23:09:20] <dyingtolive> can't trust a culture that things vegimite is a thing to be eaten.
[23:09:24] <crutchy> shit. we really are a pissant country
[23:09:32] <crutchy> 300+ million vs 20
[23:10:01] * crutchy wonders how you fit 300 million into about the same amount of space
[23:10:25] <cmn32480> we shower more often
[23:10:44] <crutchy> heh
[23:11:11] <cmn32480> gotta go pick up dinner
[23:11:14] <cmn32480> back in a couple
[23:11:50] <dyingtolive> when 90% of your country isn't inhospitable wasteland full of drop bears and those spiders with fangs larger than your body, it's easy to spread out a little more.
[23:12:05] <crutchy> true
[23:12:20] <SirFinkus> and cane toads
[23:12:47] <crutchy> was talking to my dad yesterday and he said he found a tiger snake outside the laundry window
[23:12:50] <dyingtolive> worst things we have around here are the occasional poisonous snake and snipes.
[23:13:13] <crutchy> just a little one though luckily
[23:13:13] <cmn32480> and kangaroos... they are vicious!
[23:13:41] <crutchy> nah they just like fightin'
[23:14:12] <crutchy> actually i never seen a real kangaroo hurt a person. most around here are pretty small
[23:14:17] <dyingtolive> man, i hope you guys put boxing gloves on your kangaroos. i just think that would be amazing.
[23:14:54] <dyingtolive> ooh. we also have geese. i would put those in the 'dangerous animal' category for sure.
[23:15:42] <crutchy> for sure. every seen an airliner try to fight a flock of geese? they usually come off pretty bad (though admittedly the geese fare worse)
[23:17:47] <dyingtolive> well, "clog the engines until they sieze" is sort of a kamikaze fighting strategy.
[23:18:08] <dyingtolive> i also got to actually see one fuck a guy up on foot once.
[23:18:17] <crutchy> damn
[23:19:29] <dyingtolive> the school i went to had them all over the fucking place. they were like rodents, except somehow protected while on campus. state laws or something.
[23:19:53] <dyingtolive> so every once in a while, someone would walk a little too close to one and get chased off.
[23:20:13] <dyingtolive> a girl tried to walk through them and got chased into a building. that one was pretty funny.
