[02:31:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> sup, yo
[02:37:17] <Bytram> atm, i still am... but kinda running out of steam.
[02:37:40] <Bytram> had a new person at work today; new to the company, and, oobviously, new to the dept, too.
[02:37:58] <Bytram> so, made a bunch of my stuff take twice as long.
[02:38:36] <Bytram> otoh, seems to be a quick study, and had prior experience... understands the 'why' besides just following directions. should be good in the long run.
[02:41:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's a nice change from normalcy
[02:41:45] <Bytram> why be normal?
[02:41:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> speaking of running out of steam though... zzz
[02:41:59] <Bytram> because it's perpendicular to the surface?
[02:42:07] <Bytram> yeah, is late for you.

[02:46:42] <takyon> is this about killing drug users?
[02:46:52] <Ethanol-fueled> Kind of.
[02:47:28] <Ethanol-fueled> AMerica could use a presisent like Duterte....not necessarily for killing drug dealers, but for telling the UN and PC crowd to piss off.
[02:48:05] <takyon> didn't we tell UN to piss off with that Bush Admin. guy
[02:48:08] <takyon> Bolton?
[02:48:21] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, the UN were on our side the whole time.
[02:48:32] <takyon> well that's true
[02:49:09] <Ethanol-fueled> They still are. Look at their "ruling" about the detainment of Assange.

[02:50:44] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahah, and to think i hated the bastard back then....of course, I did vote for Obama's first term and was a pro-Israel liberal Democrat for awhile.
[02:51:28] <Ethanol-fueled> From the age of 18 until around 2012-2013, actually.
[02:54:22] <Ethanol-fueled> Mainly because Republicans around that time were obnoxious. They were the Falwall-worshipping party of "no"
[02:54:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Now, things have come full circle and the Democrats are the party of "no"
[02:56:06] <Ethanol-fueled> Complete with their KKK-like enforcement army of El Savadorians and Islamic immigrants.

[02:57:10] <takyon> Ethanol-fueled I think you got the point
[02:57:46] <Ethanol-fueled> What is going on in Europe, will happen here. The pieces are being moved into place. They're just waiting for the right time.
[02:57:55] <Ethanol-fueled> In Europe, the time has begun. Here, not yet.
[02:59:49] <Ethanol-fueled> And I'm confident that we can stop that from happening.

[10:30:03] <FunkyLich> NASA does intend that? Hah! NASA has to own the ISS first!
[10:44:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> ye gads, it's quicker to encode h264 video than to encode mpeg2 on this box.
[10:50:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> #weather
[10:50:43] <MrPlow> Today: Sun and clouds mixed. High 84F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow: Intervals of clouds and sunshine. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 88F. Winds light and variable.
[10:51:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh yeah. perfect fishing weather. too bad i'm gonna spend the morning mowing on account of it raining the entire past week.
[10:53:37] <boru> h265 is all the rage, now.
[10:54:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> h265 can suck it cause it don't play right on my raspberry pi
[10:55:25] <boru> Pft, it'd be _more suitable_ for your raspberry poo. Is the problem a product of the codices available?
[10:55:50] <boru> If so, upgrade them!
[10:56:07] <boru> I'm actually quite surprised how h265 works.
[10:56:16] <boru> And how the file sizes get _that small_
[10:56:35] <boru> I've been considering doing a conversion run on my NAS, but it'd probably take weeks.
[10:57:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh it's right nifty if it works on your player. unfortunately it don't on mine. which is odd cause it uses the same libs to play on the pi as on this box here.
[10:57:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> weeks? it'd take years on mine.
[10:58:37] <boru> That's a lot of data, or a really slow machine.
[10:58:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> well mostly the same libs. guess something got buggered between x86_64 and arm porting.
[10:59:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> 3TB of video, give or take a hundred GB
[10:59:08] <boru> I assume it's libavcodec, which is generally pretty alright.
[10:59:13] <boru> Pft, only 3TB?!
[10:59:45] <boru> Out of curiosity, what player are you using? mplayer?
[10:59:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> all already in h264 cause THAT i can convert to in polynomial time
[11:00:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> shurg, whatever kodi uses
[11:00:09] <boru> Ah. Not familiar with it.
[11:00:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's XBMC rebranded
[11:00:29] <boru> I'm not certain if h265 conversion is polynomial, actually.
[11:00:32] <boru> Ah.
[11:00:40] <boru> Hmm.
[11:01:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> well it's xbmc with a name change on account of not working on xboxen anymore
[11:02:03] <boru> They could've called it EMBC -- Ex-Box Media Centre (ho ho)
[11:02:31] * TheMightyBuzzard looks at his 8 reply notifications on SN and ignores them for when he's properly awake
[11:03:23] <boru> I've barely been to the site over the last few weeks. I'm on holidays next week, so I shall prepare for story-storm.
[11:04:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, good. the eds will lurve you.
[11:04:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> or you meant reading not subbing. nevermind.
[11:04:54] <boru> I meant subbing.
[11:05:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> even better.
[11:05:08] <boru> There's been a lot of interesting news as of late, so I'll catch up.

[11:38:50] <boru> I've been off coffee for nearly ten months or so, now. Tea is a pretty lame substitute.
[11:39:14] <boru> I'll be promptly beheaded by the British users for that remark, I suspect.
[11:40:14] <Runaway1956> I'm not British, but if you get the right tea, it's as good as coffee. Just more expensive.
[11:40:35] <Runaway1956> I feel a reboot coming on after a bunch of upgrades . . . bbiab
[11:41:24] <Runaway1956> if there is a real tea shop around you boru then try some caravan tea, or any Russian blend
[11:41:38] <Runaway1956> Jasmine is sweet, but it's satisfying

[15:16:25] <Runaway1956> Last week, I had a conveyor squeaking like crazy. I lubed everything there is to lube, it did no good. So, apparently, a bearing is out.
[15:16:52] <Runaway1956> Trying to find WHICH bearing was futile. The whole damned convery squeaked in resonance.
[15:17:26] <Runaway1956> I figure that putting the stethoscope right on each bearing would have isolated the squeak
