[10:15:52] <chromas> ooh, cuntspark.com is available
[10:16:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> was it not before?
[10:16:25] <chromas> didn't check
[10:16:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> you should register it.
[10:17:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> then put up ad-supported videos of chicks getting hit in the snatch with a stun gun
[10:17:39] <chromas> lol
[10:17:48] <chromas> oh the link loaded
[10:18:05] <chromas> took almost a minute from clicking your link to something happening
[10:18:17] * chromas smacks the puter
[10:18:26] <chromas> How many Buffys did you get in?
[10:18:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> three i think
[10:19:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> skipped last boyscout again cause i decided to encode it as h265 to see if my rpi will play h265
[10:20:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> gonna do some work on the dev vm today. maybe get a little coding done as well.
[10:20:31] <chromas> is that the one where Bruce Willis plays a guy down on his luck?
[10:21:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> man it's not even the only one where Bruce Willis plays a PI down on his luck. there's also the whole series Moonlighting.
[10:21:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> which is an awesome show btw

[10:33:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, the libraries on the ole raspberry pi aren't up to the job of playing h265 yet
[10:41:40] <chromas> build it
[10:41:43] <chromas> running arch?
[10:48:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, running osmc
[10:49:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> less effort for a media center pc. boots straight in to the mc interface.
[10:50:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i know i could do that easy enough but i don't wanna hafta.
[10:50:28] <chromas> ooh, debian
[10:51:18] <chromas> I know you're itching to add extra repos
[10:51:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> newp. that box i want to "just work"
[10:51:53] <chromas> stop acting like an adult!
[10:52:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't be helped. adults like quiet children and children binge watching cartoons are just that.
[10:53:11] <boru> Have you considered chloroform?
[10:53:14] <chromas> do you have all the classic nicktoons?

[10:54:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, nope but i have all the three stooges, all the naruto that's been eng dubbed, all the animaniacs, and just recently the new voltron series.
[10:54:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh and adventure time
[10:54:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> thinking about adding some marx brothers
[10:56:13] * chromas notices they have the spray nozzle backward in some scenes
[10:57:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> that reminds me, netflix did a damned fine job with the voltron reboot
[10:59:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> i was about half ready to be mad about them making Pidge a chick in the new series but then i was like meh, like there's any difference
[11:01:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> it'd be like doing a scooby doo reboot and making velma a lesbian

[11:58:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg. pretty sure my next computer's gonna be ARM based. hope this beastie holds out a few more years until they get up past the 1GHz range.
[11:59:04] <chromas> aren't they already?
[11:59:21] <boru> They are, indeed.
[11:59:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, 1.2GHz seems to be standard for anything affordable.
[11:59:35] <chromas> yeah, my phone does 1.5ghz
[11:59:47] <boru> The Cortex-As, at least.
[11:59:59] <boru> I have a few boards at home. I've managed to OC one.
[12:00:18] <boru> I should probably do a board clear-out, in fact.
[12:00:39] <chromas> maybe find a smartphone with a broken screen and hdmi port and shove linux on it
[12:00:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> OCing don't count. i demand my cpu last a few years.
[12:01:13] <boru> Pft, my 3930K is still chugging along at 5GHz since the day I bought it.
[12:01:55] <boru> WRT broken smartphones, you can do a lot better than that, including SATA3, USB3 and native HDMI 1.3a.
[12:02:07] <boru> IFC 6540, for example.
[12:02:54] <boru> The DSPs suck quite a bit of current, though. High inrush + 3A at full welly.
[12:03:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, s'nice but i'd really like a board with a shitpot of ram.
[12:03:35] <boru> You're going to want AArch64, then.
[12:04:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> i can live without an uber vid chip but for a desktop i need ram till tuesday.
[12:04:03] <boru> I wish someone would start fabbing RISC-V in a serious capacity.
[12:05:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar. would be nice.
[12:05:13] <chromas> you just need to run everything on a separate box (or bozes) with remote x sessions :D
[12:05:49] <boru> X sessions? Pft, the opulence.
[12:06:04] <boru> What could you possibly need an X session for?
[12:06:31] <chromas> ssh then
[12:06:54] <chromas> or telnet if encryption is too bourgeoisie for you
[12:06:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> you know, the dev vm runs on 512MB of ram and ARM does perl just fine. we could run the site on a half dozen arm boards for like one month's hosting costs.
[12:07:22] <boru> I'd be happy to donate hardware. Like I said, I really need to do a board cleanout...
[12:07:29] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[12:07:48] <chromas> armcloud
[12:07:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> just figure out a use for them. don't need to get rid of something you're using.
[12:07:56] <boru> I've got some MIPS and 68k boards too!
[12:08:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> world's funniest render farm!
[12:08:35] <boru> I don't have much use for application processors in general, I just accumulate free dev boards.
[12:09:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> if they were a bit more stable and had significant amounts of ram i'd seriously consider replacing some older boxen around the place with them.
[12:11:55] <boru> They're plenty stable, but yeah, addressable RAM limitations are unncessary.
[12:12:51] <boru> Then again, when it comes to heavy lifting and lots of RAM, Ultrasparcs or Xeons are where it's at, I suppose.
[12:12:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> ram's really the issue or i could bloody well give up playing games and reencoding video. i don't dig on boards that randomly shit out at least once a month though and that has been my experience with all the pi boards i have.
[12:13:20] <boru> Well, the raspberry poo is just a toy. I wouldn't use it for anything serious, or, well, anything at all, really.
[12:13:50] <boru> Or anything with a broadcrap SoC, for that matter.
[12:14:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'good enough for a media center pc. tv is not mission critical.
[12:14:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> watching pr0n is though
[12:15:22] <boru> I can recommend several rad hardened chips.
[12:17:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> recommend an ARM board with 8GB of ram and I'll live with/work around any shortcomings
[12:23:46] <boru> I'll do some digging in a bit, but ISTR AMD, APM and a few other companies doing 'datacentre-grade' ARM CPUs.
[12:24:07] <boru> SoC-wise, you'll probably have more choice, though. You'll be looking at AArch64, though.
[12:26:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't mind SoC as long as it's not got the intel/amd hardware rootkit built in.
[12:27:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> most of what i do can be done without the fancy
[12:27:59] <boru> Noted. I'll have a poke around in a bit. I don't keep up with application processors.
[12:29:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> it'll be nice when they get up in speed a bit. maybe the desktop here will last until they get comparable performance to it at least.
[12:30:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> if not i'll have to buy replacement parts, cause i will not have a system that's rootkitted by design.

[12:34:48] <Bytram> hey, anyone here have access to C-SPAN? I'm editing a story about the US House of Representatives gun-control sit-in and C-SPAN reportedly being turned off
[12:36:06] <boru> I can access the site, if that's what you mean.
[12:37:10] <Bytram> so, the C-SPAN feed is back up? Is it their normal cameras or is it being fed over, say,
[12:37:20] <Bytram> periscope or facebook?
[12:37:24] <boru> Oh, a feed. No idea.
[12:37:52] <Bytram> hmmm, I wonder if there is a feed on their web site?
[12:38:48] <boru> Looks like it.

[12:47:22] <boru> They should do the same with cars.
[12:47:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> and kitchen utensils
[12:47:36] <boru> Oh wait, they can't, since the people voting to disarm the populace own cars!
[12:47:54] <boru> The double standards are up to 11.
[12:48:40] <Bytram> from what I see on the c-span site, it looks like the house had come back in session and then adjounrd until 8:30 AM.

[12:51:18] <boru> Aye.
[12:51:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> household chemicals + bag of nails > AR-15
[12:52:06] <boru> Well, on that note, my main gripe is that they assume all gun owners own AR-15s and RPG-7s.
[12:52:54] <boru> I don't live in the US, but I'm sure there are plenty of people there with a similar upbringing as myself; guns have put food on my family's table for generations -- literally.
[12:52:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> i wouldn't mind an AR-15 kitted out like my old M-16 A2.
[12:54:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> apparently they believe that i was safe to be around with a three round burst weapon when i was young and foolish but am a danger to society if i have a one-round-per-trigger-pull version of the same thing now that i'm older and wiser.
[12:55:11] <boru> It's ignorance.
[12:55:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> and fear
[12:55:23] <boru> Imagine a car control campaign.
[12:55:34] <chromas> guns are scary
[12:55:38] <boru> Cars kill exponentially more people in the country every year. Why not ban those?
[12:55:40] <chromas> just like aerial fireworks
[12:55:44] <chromas> ban 'em all
[12:56:06] <boru> "Wait, you can't ban cars, I actually own one of those!"
[12:56:11] <chromas> muslims kill explosively more people in the country every year. why not ban those?
[12:56:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> basically
[12:56:42] <boru> Might as well ban heart disease, as well.
[12:56:45] <boru> And malaria.
[12:56:55] <chromas> no
[12:56:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, nah. death by muslim is so incredibly rare here that it might as well be a statistical anomaly.
[12:56:57] <chromas> das racis
[12:57:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> even counting 9/11 in
[12:58:12] <boru> You're more likely to be killed by someone of Islamic faith if you're in the USMC. You know, the invasions, and all that.
[12:58:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> hell for that matter, dying by gunfire if you're not trying to kill yourself or in a gang is less likely to happen than getting struck by lightning.
[12:59:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, true.
[12:59:59] <boru> Are you saying that we need more lightning?
[13:00:11] * chromas moves to sweden to get in on the free rape
[13:00:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> absolutely. how else are we supposed to make magical girls out of 1980s level computers and a barbie doll?

[13:01:09] <chromas> did they have lightning?
[13:01:21] <boru> In the 1980s? I think so.

[13:01:39] <chromas> and also a tv series
[13:01:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, broke the tree outside. i'm assuming it's relevant.
[13:02:39] <Bytram> had a friend who kept using the same tree to mount his targets for sighting in his rifles and target practice -- one day the tree fell over from the damage caused by all the rounds going into it. :/
[13:02:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> you know... the roomie's feminine child got about a gerzillion barbies gifted to her a couple weeks ago... i need a harem.
[13:03:07] <chromas> sexist
[13:03:21] <chromas> what if schmer's a boy deep down inside?
[13:03:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, what's sexist about shooting a tree in half?
[13:03:45] <boru> Who doesn't use retroreflectors for sighting their rifles these days.
[13:04:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> me. i shoot things.
[13:04:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i like shooting things, so this works out well.
[13:04:41] <boru> Fine if you're plinking with a plinking load.
[13:05:05] <boru> And don't own a turret press, I suppose.

[13:19:33] <chromas> or…55!
[13:19:45] * chromas doesn't know what song that is
[13:20:04] <chromas> I think that was the whole lyric. Some noise, and a guy yelling "55"

[13:58:57] <boru> e.g. ftp://ftp.swpc.noaa.gov
[13:58:59] <Bytram> I would think that there should be someplace that I could find the current planetary K-index -- it's just a single number, right?
[14:00:01] <boru> Yeah, estimates are here: ftp://ftp.swpc.noaa.gov
[14:00:09] <Bytram> clicky
[14:00:32] <boru> Proton flux etc, are at that same directory level.
[14:00:35] <Bytram> hmmm, those seem to be historical
[14:00:44] <boru> Bottom entry in the table.
[14:00:54] <Bytram> basically, I've seen the aurora boreallis once -- and I'll never forget it.
[14:00:58] <Bytram> would like to see it again
[14:01:10] <boru> Probably not for another decade.
[14:01:38] <boru> I've seen it a few times in Scandanavia, and twice in Ireland -- one of which was the November 2003 x-class.
[14:01:40] <Bytram> well, yes and no, we are in a quiet period atm, but there are occasional solar flares,m right?
[14:01:50] <boru> Heavy GM activity at the zenith at 53N.
[14:02:05] <Bytram> I was on a ski trip in northern vermont (or was that new hampshire, can't remember)
[14:02:13] <Bytram> most amazing thing I'd ever seen.
[14:02:16] <boru> Occasional, sure, but GM activity isn't necessarily a CME-only event.
[14:02:26] <Bytram> well, one of the most
[14:02:27] <boru> Connected field lines also produce activity.

[14:22:58] <Bytram> agreed
[14:23:28] <boru> It's this Web 2.0 disease -- "Use HTTP for everything, even though there have been perfectly good protocols designed for specific tasks for decades!"
[14:24:34] <Bytram> close. Use video for everything, even though there has been perfectly good text for millenia!
[14:24:58] <boru> FTP, SMTP, NNTP, IRC etc. They've all been reinvented with HTTP as the application layer protocol.
[14:25:10] <Bytram> singing to the choir on that one
[14:25:33] <boru> Heh, indeed. On several programming channels on other networks, you get screenshots of people's code, rather than, say, using sprunge or some such.
[14:25:45] <boru> I'm just waiting to get youtube videos of their code, next.
[14:25:50] <Bytram> so, as an idea... what time-honored and solid protocol is not YET html 2.0-ified

[14:27:30] <boru> If your telnet server doesn't have some sort of SOAP/REST interface, you need to get with the times.
[14:27:48] <Bytram> lol. it's scary how true that is. Yikes!
[14:27:54] <boru> Indeed.
[14:28:09] <Bytram> I wish the SWPC had an rss feed of the planetary kp index
[14:29:47] <Bytram> they have to have that number available *somewhere*, as a number... just feed it to an RSS feed for distribution. Heck SN even has an RSS feed. I know NCommnder is brilliant, but it can't be THAT hard to do... or is it?
[14:30:13] <boru> Oh, wawint until you have to deal with the MPC data...
[14:30:39] <Bytram> many year ago, I recall signing up for e-mail alerts from them (I think it was them)

[14:39:50] * boru chuckles.
[14:40:54] <boru> I can give you lots of reasons to look upwards during the day, as well -- atmospheric optics displays tend to be fairly common.
[14:41:01] * Bytram snoozes
[14:42:15] <Bytram> last night, left work at about 9:15pm, got some needed items at store, got home around 11ish, edited some stories, posted a comment, got to sleep at about 0300. Woke at about 0815
[14:42:48] <boru> Sounds familiar.
[14:43:15] <Bytram> I'm reminded of an old saying: "If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it."
[14:44:02] <Bytram> that, and "Being busy beats being bored."
[14:44:51] <boru> I don't remember the last time I suffered from the latter.
[14:47:17] <boru> If you'd like something to do from 0300 to 0800, astronomy fits the bill.
[14:47:58] <Bytram> well, I do like to sleep, but in extenuating circumstances, like an aurora being visible, I'm willing to change my priorities for a while!
[14:48:04] <boru> I've spent 6-7 hours at a time doing emission line imaging during the Winter.
[14:48:12] <Bytram> Brrrrrrrrrrrr!
[14:48:13] <boru> Heh.
[14:48:41] <Bytram> hmmm, about 15 years ago or so, there was a predicition of a possible meteor storm.
[14:48:45] <boru> I'm fairly adapted to the cold, but after 7 hours, one tends to get a bit numb.
[14:49:04] <boru> Leonids, iirc.
[14:49:13] <boru> They tend to have periodic storms.
[14:49:30] <Bytram> I don't recall any snow, but it was REALLY cold -- there were well over a couple hundred people in a state park near where I lived watching it. Froze my butt off.
[14:50:05] <boru> That's more or less what astronomy is all about. Freezing your arse off in the dark in the middle of nowhere.
[14:50:31] <Bytram> I'm familiar with cold weather, wore plenty of layers, down coat, wool sweater, thermos of coffee, and was still cold!
[14:50:50] <Bytram> but, it was also a very clear night, and still worth it.
[14:51:04] <boru> Spot on. It's always worth it.
[14:51:12] <Bytram> hearing the crowd "oooh!" and "ahhhh!" all together was a real hoot!
[14:51:24] <Bytram> natural fireworks beat out man-make ones
[14:51:37] <Bytram> would have loved to have seen a bolide, but no such luck
[14:51:52] <Bytram> still remember it like it was yesterday (ummm, night!)
[14:52:02] <boru> They sure do. You'll see plenty of sporadics on a given night. Sometimes fairly significant fireballs.
[14:52:16] <boru> Bolides are more about hearing, whereas fireballs are nice to watch.
[14:52:27] <boru> I've heard a bolide just once in my life.
[14:52:34] <Bytram> neither for me
[14:52:45] <Bytram> how loud was it?
[14:52:47] <boru> It was a meteorite which landed in Ireland.
[14:52:52] <boru> Like distant thunder.
[14:52:54] <Bytram> Boom!
[14:53:01] <boru> Nothing like that recent Russian meteorite.
[14:53:11] <Bytram> prolly took out the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I bet.
[14:53:24] * Bytram gives up dream of quick fortune :/
[14:53:34] <Bytram> chelyabinsk?
[14:53:46] <boru> Aye.
[14:54:18] <Bytram> imagine what the imapct (heh!) would be if that happened over new york city, wash DC, or the like
[14:54:27] <boru> I remember seeing Shoemaker-Levy hitting Jupiter in 94.
[14:54:42] <boru> I could just make out the hole in the clouds in my little 'scope.
[14:54:43] <Bytram> countless broken windows exploding from skyscrapers. Yikes!
[14:54:50] <Bytram> Wow!
[14:54:53] <boru> Indeed. Quite remarkable.
[14:54:54] <Bytram> Good for you!
[14:55:20] <boru> It was tough, given that atmospheric seeing in Ireland is invariably awful.
[14:56:07] <Bytram> it's not often I have a chance to chat with someone who has an interest in astornomy... had a few courses in college, but never really did any observing... still, am very interested in cosmology, and all the findings from the various probes (New Horizons!)
[14:56:28] <Bytram> wish I could hang around longer, but I really need to get started on my day... meeting some friends in about an hour.
[14:56:35] <Bytram> thanks so much for the illuminating chat!
[14:57:03] <boru> Heh, no problem. It's tough to shut me up about. I tend to blather on.
[14:57:09] <boru> Have a good one.
[14:57:26] <Bytram> your blather is my education =) many thanks!

[23:03:43] <takyon> I put in the yeast in my brew on Wednesday afternoon, so I will start adding a pound of sugar on... Saturday - Tuesday? and then get it out of primary on Wednesday
[23:04:07] <Deucalion> what ya cooking up?
[23:04:12] <takyon> mead
[23:04:19] <takyon> TMB has been a big help
[23:05:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> you take that back. someone else will expect me to be helpful now.
[23:05:02] <Deucalion> ooh interesting
[23:05:43] <takyon> TMB hasn't given me all the help I require
[23:05:48] <takyon> does that schedule look correct?
[23:07:18] <Deucalion> no idea for mead. for beer I generally just lob all the sugar in right at the start of the primary then leave it be other than the odd stir each day
[23:08:02] <takyon> i'm doing this to bump the ABV up to maximal levels
[23:08:14] <takyon> maybe keep it sweet too. even though it is a "dry" mead
[23:08:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> Deucalion, he's going from a full recipe and over-sugaring it for the above reasons.
[23:08:33] <SirFinkus> the real fun is distillation
[23:08:53] <takyon> wine : brandy :: mead : ???
[23:08:54] <Deucalion> hmm... so keep adding sugar bit by bit until the yeast suicides itself?
[23:09:16] <takyon> Is 1 lb a day considered "a bit"
[23:09:32] <takyon> hey, should I turn the sugar into simple syrup to cut down on contamination?
[23:10:17] <Deucalion> 1lb a day sounds like a lot - what volume are you brewing up?
[23:10:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, i thought about that. fine's in the tens of thousands of dollars for doing it without a multi-thousand dollar license though.
[23:11:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> federal fine not state
[23:11:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, just the sugar should be fine unless you like got ants or something in it.

[23:14:08] <takyon> homebrewing on the small scale is legal in most places
[23:14:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> brewing yes, distilling no
[23:14:31] <Deucalion> If you're adding sugar every day, then it may be sensible to err on the side of less per day... the yeast won't starve to death overnight even if it eats up all the sugar. Just smaller amounts each day will extend how long it takes to get the alc content up to the point the yeast dies. Over sugar it toward the end and you could end up with the yeast expiring and a sweet brew from the undigested sugar
[23:14:40] <SirFinkus> say it's for science
[23:14:57] <chromas> "I'm totally distilling water"
[23:14:58] <takyon> TMB told me to add 1 lb/day
[23:15:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> Deucalion, the latter is what he wants but trying to avoid bringing the sugar levels high enough to stick fermentation.
[23:15:16] <SirFinkus> "no officer, you see, I was trying to get the alcohol OUT"
[23:15:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, you can do it legally for ethanol fuel
[23:15:34] <takyon> ATF officer
[23:15:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> like thousands of gallons per year
[23:15:45] <SirFinkus> revenuer
[23:15:57] <takyon> pig manure
[23:16:05] * SirFinkus waits for his 30 gb torrent to hash
[23:16:08] <Deucalion> Go with that then :D It does somewhat depend on the strain of yeast and the temp you are keeping it at as to how much sugar it can process per time unit
[23:16:29] <chromas> is the hashing multi-threaded?
[23:16:40] <SirFinkus> io is the bottleneck
[23:16:41] <takyon> could it benefit from a 1000-core processor
[23:16:45] <chromas> I guess the hdd is the slow part
[23:16:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, that's revenooer. and you're sposed to shoot those.
[23:17:14] <chromas> if io's the bottleneck that just means they need moar hashing
[23:17:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> mmmm.... corned beef
[23:17:49] <SirFinkus> now I KNOW TheMightyBuzzard distills his own spirits
[23:17:54] <SirFinkus> just confirmed it
[23:18:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> i do not. i use older methods.
[23:18:23] <takyon> TMB is a shaman!
[23:18:44] <takyon> He uses older, darker methods!
[23:18:55] <SirFinkus> yeah, sure, you're always out "fishing"
[23:19:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> freeze the booze you want to concentrate and let the alcoholic goodness's different freezing temperature separate it naturally.
[23:19:26] <SirFinkus> that's still distillation
[23:19:37] <takyon> diSTILLation
[23:19:52] <chromas> still disation
[23:20:11] <SirFinkus> oh, I guess it isn't
[23:20:15] * SirFinkus feels dumb
[23:20:18] <Deucalion> still the end of your liver's longevity either way :P
[23:20:47] <takyon> join the 1% and steal the livers of the 99%
[23:20:54] <chromas> Destroy your organs. You don't need 'em after you die anyhow
[23:21:43] <Deucalion> True - but I want them to not expire prematurely
[23:22:18] <SirFinkus> I don't trust the fucker
[23:22:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> also doesn't get rid of methanol like proper distillation does.
[23:22:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> so it gives you a NASTY hangover and can make you go blind.
[23:22:52] <chromas> Freeze, then boil
[23:24:03] <chromas> wasn't that an old home remedy for sick?
[23:24:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> bah, just drink it in moderation. don't binge on it like i did at a bachelor party once and yer fine.
[23:24:40] <takyon> where is this methanol even coming from
[23:24:42] <Deucalion> results are slowly trickling in on the Brexit referendum....
[23:24:49] <takyon> oh yeah that
[23:24:57] <takyon> better get my submitting fingers ready
[23:25:03] <SirFinkus> I hear it's not looking good for the leavers
[23:25:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, same place as the ethanol.
[23:25:15] <Deucalion> It'll be another ~6 hours or so until the result is finalised
[23:25:16] <chromas> Did they fix the OCR issue?
[23:25:19] <takyon> yeast bastards
[23:25:30] <takyon> ok duke
[23:25:42] <Deucalion> 2 - 1 for Remain so far SirFinkus.... only 3 results in so far
[23:25:47] <Deucalion> of ~350 or so
[23:26:00] <Deucalion> ahh... 380 total
[23:26:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> distilling booze you throw out the heads (first bits of liquid) because they're methanol and the tails (last bits of liquid) because they're non-alcoholic shit

[23:38:31] <Deucalion> Stella is fecking awful stuff
[23:38:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> besides, you can microbrew up whatever you like using yeast found frozen in amber and the absolute best beer is still whatever's free
[23:38:33] <SirFinkus> or actual piss water

[23:46:21] <takyon> blu-ray?
[23:46:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's not exploitation. that's them makin fat bank off us starved for entertainment mericans.
[23:47:07] <SirFinkus> they are exploitation films, trust me
[23:47:14] <BrutalDildos> Those silly Japs
[23:47:27] <SirFinkus> cynical cash grabs that use sex and violence as selling points
[23:47:34] <SirFinkus> made cheaply
[23:47:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, so, all tv ever.
[23:47:48] <SirFinkus> the sex and violence is rather tame by today's standards
[23:47:58] <BrutalDildos> Jackie Chan movies strike me as Japsploitation
[23:48:11] <SirFinkus> kind of, but without the budget

[23:50:01] <BrutalDildos> those stock machine-gun and tire-screeching sounds are pretty boss

[23:59:44] <takyon> probably better value than the GTX 1070. not sure though
