[03:42:06] * exec overratedly formulates a pinch of red cordial for mdc
[03:42:57] <cmn32480> #tell TheMightyBuzzard says that MrPlow's tell command is better than exec's.... not sure but I think TMB is a fucktard trying to start shit.
[03:42:57] <MrPlow> Okay, I'll tell them next time I see them.
[03:43:17] <cmn32480> #tell crutchy TheMightyBuzzard says that MrPlow's tell command is better than exec's.... not sure but I think TMB is a fucktard trying to start shit.
[03:43:17] <MrPlow> Okay, I'll tell them next time I see them.
[03:44:32] <mecctro> lol
[03:45:08] * cmn32480 has been down at the hotel bar drinking doubles... this is prolly not a good thing for tomorrow
[03:45:48] <mecctro> double trouble
[03:46:55] <cmn32480> well.... the bill was $104
[03:47:05] <mecctro> jebus, was it worth it?
[03:47:12] <cmn32480> and that inclides the one sitting on the hotel desk next to me
[03:47:19] <cmn32480> customer is buyin!
[03:47:47] <cmn32480> had a FABULOUS conversation with a guy in from Germany who works for BMW
[03:47:48] <mecctro> in that event...
[03:48:20] <mecctro> sounds interesting, what'd he have to say?
[03:48:27] <cmn32480> we talked politics... and weather (oddly enough)
[03:48:33] <cmn32480> they are very scared of trump
[03:48:50] <cmn32480> he's too outside and just generally seen as a whacko
[03:48:51] <mecctro> ah, weather, the stool or crutch to any conversation.
[03:48:55] <cmn32480> no
[03:49:07] <mecctro> oh, more conspiracy?
[03:49:11] <cmn32480> he didn't quite understand what it is like going throuhg a hurricane
[03:49:54] <cmn32480> it was VERY interesting
[03:49:54] <SirFinkus> I imagine it's the kind of thing you wouldn't understand unless you've gone through it
[03:50:04] <mecctro> ^
[03:50:22] <cmn32480> fascinating to hear a perspective untouched by our (shitty) media
[03:51:04] <SirFinkus> just their shitty media?
[03:51:09] <cmn32480> yep
[03:51:32] <cmn32480> he said there is almost nothing on their news about Clinton... but everything is about trump
[03:52:00] <SirFinkus> I watch RT for that, it's interesting because you can suss out the propaganda techniques our media uses better when it's not something you're immersed in
[03:52:09] <SirFinkus> if that makes sense
[03:52:42] <mecctro> I look at all sorts of sources/perspectives, if I can, for just that reason SirFinkus
[03:52:55] <SirFinkus> not enough time for that shit tbh
[03:53:10] <cmn32480> and his thoughts on Brexit were basically "they made their decision, I don't think it is good for either the EU or the UK, but it is their decision
[03:53:10] <mecctro> keep myself in check, so as not to fall into the "rut" of local media
[03:53:26] <SirFinkus> basically my attitude cmn32480
[03:53:35] <SirFinkus> I don't know if it's good or bad though
[03:53:42] <mecctro> same
[03:54:09] <cmn32480> but it is fascinating to hear from a complete outsider
[03:55:23] <mecctro> I suppose.
[03:55:35] <cmn32480> outsider to our perspective, I mean
[03:55:42] <SirFinkus> I tend not to talk politics with foreigners
[03:55:48] <SirFinkus> or religion
[03:55:57] <cmn32480> we skipped religion
[03:56:09] <mecctro> I find it interesting coming from anyone. But, I certainly don't actively seek it out in daily life.
[03:56:29] <mecctro> I'm passive in interest. I prefer to remain "outside"
[03:56:33] <cmn32480> somehow it morphed from a conversation aboubt work to that
[03:56:43] <mecctro> it happens.
[03:57:10] <mecctro> I had a guy go on a tangent about door alarms, and how they'd be better if there were unions.
[03:57:16] <mecctro> shit happens lol
[03:57:21] <SirFinkus> and then you both went back to your hotel room and :^)
[03:57:29] * mecctro brownchickenbrowncow
[03:57:57] <cmn32480> NO
[03:58:17] <cmn32480> no German Scheise videos w/ Cartmans mom
[03:58:40] <cmn32480> but I am rather drunk... so you never know
[03:58:48] <SirFinkus> we know
[03:58:55] <mecctro> "deep down"
[03:58:58] <SirFinkus> you don't remember the story submission?
[03:59:05] <cmn32480> story submission?
[03:59:11] <SirFinkus> and the pictures you posted in irc?
[03:59:23] <cmn32480> there are no pictures in IRC!
[03:59:28] <cmn32480> HA!
[03:59:34] <mecctro> links to pictures bruh
[03:59:44] <SirFinkus> ok, the URLS you posted to the imgur album
[03:59:54] <cmn32480> pics or it never happened
[03:59:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> #smake cmn32480
[03:59:55] * MrPlow smakes cmn32480 upside the head with a raw steak
[04:00:06] <cmn32480> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[04:00:08] * exec emphatically rubs a buzzfeed list of seven of nine on TheMightyBuzzard
[04:00:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> i win
[04:00:19] <SirFinkus> they were deleted from imgur due to a tos violation
[04:00:30] <cmn32480> I can cook the steak....
[04:00:34] <SirFinkus> I mean, chickens? really?
[04:00:41] <SirFinkus> where the fuck did you get so many chickens?
[04:00:46] <cmn32480> feathers are excellent SirFinkus
[04:00:58] <mecctro> at least they still had (most) of their feathers.
[04:01:18] <cmn32480> don't be jealous
[04:01:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> my whoosky is disappearing, damnit
[04:01:27] <cmn32480> mine too
[04:01:36] <cmn32480> had a $104 bill at the hotel bar
[04:01:50] * cmn32480 was drinkin' the good stuff
[04:01:53] <mecctro> the sex was free, though.
[04:01:56] <SirFinkus> oh damn TheMightyBuzzard, better drink it before whoever is stealing it can get to it
[04:02:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> i know, right?
[04:02:16] <cmn32480> double Jamesons
[04:02:22] <cmn32480> then they ran out
[04:02:30] <cmn32480> and I had to switch to Makers Mark
[04:02:34] * mecctro pukes
[04:02:37] <cmn32480> fucking inferior shit
[04:02:43] <SirFinkus> no scotch?
[04:02:50] <SirFinkus> you're an animal
[04:02:52] * cmn32480 doesn't like scotch
[04:02:53] <mecctro> no absynth?
[04:03:18] <SirFinkus> so I guess the acts depicted weren't bestiality
[04:03:19] <cmn32480> nope
[04:03:24] <cmn32480> nope
[04:03:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> jamesons isn't the good stuff. they make irish whisky comparable to single malt scotch.
[04:03:37] <cmn32480> unless the Irish are animals
[04:03:43] <SirFinkus> because what kind of MAN doesn't like scotch
[04:03:55] <cmn32480> <-------- This one
[04:04:10] <SirFinkus> I'm Irish, but the scots have us beat on whisky
[04:04:29] <mecctro> Scotch tastes like lighter fluid and barnacles.
[04:04:30] <cmn32480> #smake SirFinkus an empty bottle
[04:04:30] * MrPlow smakes SirFinkus an empty bottle upside the head with a midget's intestines
[04:04:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> tis the truth you be tellin
[04:04:51] <cmn32480> WHO be tellin' truth?????
[04:04:57] <SirFinkus> depends on the scotch mecctro
[04:04:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus
[04:04:58] <cmn32480> DON"T CONFUSE THE DRUNK!
[04:05:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> talisker makes a damned fine scotch
[04:05:35] <SirFinkus> I finally tried Laphraoig
[04:05:39] <SirFinkus> it was great
[04:05:48] <SirFinkus> I think my favorite is Old Pultney
[04:05:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, too bad i can't spell it
[04:05:52] <mecctro> Scotch tastes like varnish and semen.
[04:06:02] <SirFinkus> you know what semen tastes like?
[04:06:05] <SirFinkus> tell me more mecctro
[04:06:10] * SirFinkus pulls up a chair
[04:06:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> you drink very odd cocktails
[04:06:18] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Intel Announces Kaby Lake Mobile Processors - http://sylnt.us - good-fast-cheap
[04:06:26] <SirFinkus> unless Subsentient has been vomiting in your mouth
[04:06:28] * cmn32480 prefers Irish Whiskey...
[04:06:39] <cmn32480> or Kentucky
[04:06:46] <SirFinkus> lol
[04:06:46] <mecctro> Scotch tastes like nailpolish-remover and milk.
[04:06:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, which is perfectly fine. just buy something NOT blended.
[04:06:53] <SirFinkus> american "whiskey"
[04:07:05] * cmn32480 knows what he likes and sticks to it
[04:07:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> tennessee > kentucky
[04:07:21] <cmn32480> Tenneessee is good too
[04:07:27] <SirFinkus> really, Jameson is the lowest level whiskey I'll order
[04:07:36] * cmn32480 rather likes it
[04:07:39] <SirFinkus> anything under that isn't really worth it to me
[04:07:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> larceny is pretty passable if you're looking for bourbon
[04:07:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> relatively cheap too
[04:08:11] * cmn32480 sufggestst that SirFinkus outght to eat MrPlow and die a horrible screaming rust complicated death
[04:08:32] <mecctro> lock jaw?
[04:08:40] <cmn32480> ]'zactly
[04:09:00] <mecctro> lol
[04:09:01] <SirFinkus> I'm getting pretty shitfaced right now actually
[04:09:11] <SirFinkus> but at least I can type coherently
[04:09:19] <cmn32480> interesting... I just breathed out and the wall paper came off the hotel room wal

[04:09:54] <SirFinkus> though in this case, beer

[04:11:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> bugs'd get in my whisky
[04:11:52] <SirFinkus> you've got the wrong job
[04:12:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> scuse me, someone fucking with shit outside. gotta go shoot em.
[04:12:10] <cmn32480> SirFinkus - sometimes I don't think you are incorrect
[04:12:14] <SirFinkus> that's why you need to drink it faster TheMightyBuzzard
[04:12:20] <mecctro> light em up captain crunk.
[04:12:27] <SirFinkus> so the bugs don't get in it
[04:12:39] <SirFinkus> and you know whiskey goes bad after you open it
[04:12:55] <cmn32480> nah... it jsut goes flat
[04:13:12] <SirFinkus> nope, it goes bad, so you have to drink it right away
[04:13:17] <SirFinkus> trust me, I'm a doctor
[04:13:33] <cmn32480> and I stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night.
[04:13:53] <mecctro> Sounds like an experience.
[04:14:01] * cmn32480 kids
[04:14:04] <SirFinkus> do they have bars?
[04:14:10] <cmn32480> I only stay at reputable properties
[04:14:17] <SirFinkus> with bars
[04:14:32] <SirFinkus> if a hotel doesn't have a bar, what's the point?
[04:14:32] <cmn32480> Hilton Hotels... with bars
[04:15:34] <mecctro> sounds reasonable
[04:16:10] <cmn32480> crap... based on the amount consumed / the hours till I have to be on site = cmn32480 is fucked
[04:16:25] <SirFinkus> sounds like it's time to go...
[04:16:28] <SirFinkus> ...ALL IN
[04:16:51] * cmn32480 still has a shot and some in the glass on the desk
[04:17:08] <mecctro> lol @ "...ALL IN"
[04:17:21] * cmn32480 requests not to get fired
[04:17:27] <SirFinkus> I'm drinking Alphadelic IPA
[04:17:31] <cmn32480> unless it is from the position of editor
[04:18:01] <SirFinkus> brewed in Eugene Oregon
[04:18:02] <cmn32480> then y'all can go and fuck yer selves with a randy goats horms
[04:18:17] <SirFinkus> does the goat have to be randy?
[04:18:38] <cmn32480> [yes
[04:18:42] <SirFinkus> like, do I have to get the goat all hot and bothered first?
[04:18:44] <SirFinkus> aww
[04:18:46] <cmn32480> yes
[04:18:54] <SirFinkus> goat foreplay is pretty hard
[04:18:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg, fuckin drunkass cicadas. flying into everything and makin it sound like someone's stealin half my shit.
[04:19:28] <SirFinkus> that's why you set up booby traps TheMightyBuzzard
[04:19:31] * cmn32480 notes that TheMightyBuzzard missed me with all potshots stealin' three fourths of his shit
[04:19:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> boobies generally come pre-trapped
[04:20:12] <SirFinkus> usually the bait
[04:20:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> zactly
[04:20:28] * cmn32480 knocks on TheMightyBuzzard's back door lookin' for boobies
[04:20:28] <SirFinkus> I think beer may be better than whiskey tbh
[04:20:39] <SirFinkus> which may be controversial
[04:21:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> no boobies here. which is a cryin shame and i should do sumpin about it directly
[04:21:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> #smake SirFinkus
[04:21:44] * MrPlow smakes SirFinkus upside the head with a microaggression
[04:21:47] <SirFinkus> (.Y.)
[04:22:03] <SirFinkus> objections? I'll address them
[04:22:13] <mecctro> man teets?
[04:22:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> beer is a fine, fine institution but in no way is it superior to whisky.
[04:22:15] <SirFinkus> if cigars are involved, whiskey is better
[04:22:39] <mecctro> absynth mojitos
[04:23:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> i prefer my vision just blurry not altered
[04:23:09] * cmn32480 finds it funny that the first comments on NC's story are that he is a kid compared to many of us
[04:23:22] <mecctro> There's nothing that gets you high in absynth (at least, no anymore)
[04:23:26] <mecctro> on*
[04:23:26] <SirFinkus> whiskey is never refreshing
[04:23:30] <SirFinkus> but beer can be
[04:23:33] <cmn32480> Sirfinkus - Whiskwey is just better
[04:23:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> i know. both his coder minions is older than him.
[04:23:54] <SirFinkus> and beer can scratch itches that whiskey can
[04:24:07] <cmn32480> and so is the entire editorial staff... with the possible exception of Takyon
[04:24:08] <SirFinkus> and ones that it can't
[04:24:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> mecctro, then it's not absynth
[04:24:35] * cmn32480 sips
[04:24:47] <mecctro> I don't take issue with either the tainted, or un, whichever your preference.
[04:24:58] <mecctro> absynth is where it's at.
[04:25:01] <mecctro> for me.
[04:25:08] <SirFinkus> there's a beer for every occasion, but not necessarily a whiskey
[04:25:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> the mind altering effect was the entire purpose of absynth. without it you just got green booze.
[04:25:46] <mecctro> Well, there are variants, many now.
[04:25:55] <mecctro> I prefer the more "white" absynth.
[04:26:11] <SirFinkus> racist
[04:26:22] * TheMightyBuzzard feels microaggressed
[04:26:23] <mecctro> the green and yellow, is usually to rooty / "gingery" for me
[04:26:28] <mecctro> too*
[04:26:36] <SirFinkus> anyway, that's my beer speech
[04:27:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, whisky goes well at any occasion. except roofing a house.
[04:27:11] <SirFinkus> and https://www.youtube.com
[04:27:11] <CookiePuss> ^ 03Korpiklaani - Beer, Beer - YouTube
[04:27:14] <mecctro> beer ranges from, interesting; odd;
[04:27:18] <SirFinkus> exactly TheMightyBuzzard
[04:27:19] <mecctro> for me, personally.
[04:27:41] <mecctro> mead isn't bad
[04:27:54] <SirFinkus> I think whiskey is better for certain occasions, but beer is reliable as fuck
[04:27:59] <mecctro> or, (actual) root-beer
[04:28:20] <cmn32480> TheMightyBuzzard - roofing a house shoudl be enjoyed by watching your Mexicans handle it for you with a fine glass of whiskey in hand

[07:54:08] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: you should improve the mod point system by having mod points "regenerate" at 1 point for every four hours. this way you don't instantly lose a full day worth of points if you miss the deadline.
[07:55:19] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: i also think this would result in a more even distribution of points over time
[07:56:20] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: there's nothing to lose and everything to gain
[07:56:37] <Booga1> Probably has more to do with the lower viewership of the article comments.

[10:15:12] <malloc_free> Hey to the devs: should put info on the soylentnews.org folding@home group somewhere on your site so it is easy to find. Maybe under the SoylentNews heading on the left hand index. Just a suggestion. Have links to folding@home, your group id, anything else of interest.
[10:16:20] <SirFinkus> probably a good idea
[10:16:35] <SirFinkus> maybe in the same box as the twitter
[10:18:54] <malloc_free> yarp
[10:19:41] <malloc_free> Also list the current top 10 folders too if that is possible.
[10:20:01] <SirFinkus> that might be a bit more work
[10:20:38] <SirFinkus> the f@h site isn't that great, and they don't allow scraping
[10:20:45] <malloc_free> ah righto
[10:21:13] <SirFinkus> it spits out some kind of text or xml file ever 3 hours or something
[10:21:21] <SirFinkus> which is how the xtreme overclocking site works
[10:21:56] <SirFinkus> but it would require a non-trivial amount of storage and processing to pull out a top 10 I think
[10:22:30] <malloc_free> Fair enough. Just a link to the group page should suffice I guess.
[10:23:06] <SirFinkus> yeah, I'll bring it up next time I see someone who can actually do that
[10:23:09] <SirFinkus> above my pay grade etc
[10:23:28] <malloc_free> coolness.
[10:24:11] <SirFinkus> we're going to pass microsoft in 2 weeks
[10:24:35] <malloc_free> nice
[10:26:49] <Booga1> I still think that's kinda awesome and shocking at the same time.
[10:27:21] <SirFinkus> http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com they don't have a great folding team apparently
[10:27:22] <CookiePuss> ^ 03Microsoft - Team Summary - EXTREME Overclocking Folding @ Home Stats
[10:27:27] <Booga1> With so many people working there, you'd think more would have spare machines to do something like Folding@Home.
[10:27:48] <SirFinkus> we're also going to pass the defunct ps3 folding team soon too
[10:27:59] <Booga1> Perhaps they contribute to other teams, or no team, or different projects like the Seti@home
[10:28:42] <SirFinkus> I'd guess some corporate policy about not installing unapproved software on computers
[10:28:48] <SirFinkus> probably just employees on their home boxes
[10:29:43] <SirFinkus> lol they had a guy named "macaholic" on their team
[10:30:04] <Booga1> I would agree with that, SirFinkus. I wouldn't dream of installing Folding@home or anything else on the corporate machines. Still, they just have so many people vs. Soylent News that one would think the sheer numbers would be too hard to catch up to.
[10:30:25] <Booga1> SirFinkus: MS has whole teams dedicated to Macs. :)
[10:32:03] <SirFinkus> and they do a BANG UP job porting shit...
[10:32:23] <Booga1> Porting shit? Most of the stuff is purchased and rebranded, not ported.
[10:32:40] <Booga1> Thouh, porting PowerShell to Linux is a rare exception.
[10:32:46] <SirFinkus> mainly talking about office
[10:32:56] <SirFinkus> although that's been on macs since the beginning
[10:33:24] <Booga1> Not the Entourage portion, that was purchased. The other parts... :P
[10:34:02] <SirFinkus> they're going to make all their non-windows skype clients some kind of web based thing last I heard
[10:34:12] <SirFinkus> which I'm looking forward to
[10:34:25] <SirFinkus> actually, their osx skype client is better than the windows one by quite a bit
[10:34:42] <SirFinkus> nicer interface, and no ads
[10:34:43] <Booga1> The UI layer on top of it is garbage and the underlying communications protocols haven't kept up with larger packets for DNS requests and stuff, but that was fixed...eventually. Took them months.
[10:35:20] <Booga1> Oh, that would be nicer. The Skype interface has degraded badly over time.
[10:35:21] <SirFinkus> no, they fucked skype completely
[10:35:39] <SirFinkus> first thing they did when they bought it was make it so they could eavesdrop on it
[10:35:49] <SirFinkus> like, the first major feature they added
[10:35:55] <Booga1> I was referring to Entourage with the "garbage" statement.
[10:35:58] <SirFinkus> oh
[10:36:25] <SirFinkus> now instead of being p2p, all the communications go through microsoft
[10:36:31] <SirFinkus> to be fair, the p2p stuff was a little hit or miss
[10:37:17] <Booga1> Yes, it's only saving grace is multi-user calls and call quality is usually pretty decent. Better than most game voice systems and Steam.
[10:37:58] <SirFinkus> oh man, Steam
[10:38:02] <Booga1> Hehe
[10:38:10] <SirFinkus> I could write NCommander novels on how shitty steam is
[10:38:20] <Booga1> Steam voice calling has gotten way worse over time.
[10:38:29] <SirFinkus> I've never even really used it
[10:38:56] <chromas> do it
[10:39:02] <Booga1> Not sure why. It used to be "OK" and acceptable. Now it goes all wonky if you let Steam run for a few days.
[10:39:09] <chromas> more original content, brought to me by SirFinkus and NCommander
[10:39:13] <chromas> and Ovaltine
[10:39:21] <SirFinkus> my rants are a little obscure though
[10:39:29] <SirFinkus> even more so than DOS keyloggers
[10:40:19] <Booga1> Steam is so odd sometimes. Things like font sizes are overwritten on every upgrade.
[10:40:41] <Booga1> The font sizes aren't even selectable in the UI, you have to go fiddle with config files.
[10:40:58] <Booga1> I could go on, but I won't.
[10:41:12] <SirFinkus> my understanding is that they rolled their own gui instead of using native controls
[10:41:22] <SirFinkus> which is why it is constantly breaking in weird ways
[10:41:41] <Booga1> It's a hassle.
[10:42:00] <SirFinkus> so one thing
[10:42:02] <SirFinkus> on osx
[10:42:13] <SirFinkus> if you bring to the foreground one steam window
[10:42:20] <SirFinkus> every steam window will come to the foreground
[10:42:27] <SirFinkus> IME is completely broken
[10:43:03] <Booga1> That is odd window behavior unless you're talking about some monlithic program like Photoshop or GIMP, etc...
[10:43:03] <SirFinkus> the interface itself is retina aware, except for the webviews
[10:45:22] <SirFinkus> at least it works pretty well for launching games and stuff
[10:45:32] <SirFinkus> never really fucked me there
[10:46:57] <Booga1> True. It's rarely messed up game launching. The only problem I've had recently was Tron 2.0 where I had to use "admin" mode to get it to run. Not surprising considering how old the game is.
[10:47:49] <SirFinkus> more of a problem with the game probably

[22:36:11] <MDC> that same organization also does my mental health. The psycho people referred me to the housing people
[22:36:26] <cmn32480> I don't mind my tax dollars helping people whar are trying to get themselves back on track... I mind my tax dollars helping those who don't wanna get themselves back on track
[22:36:34] <Deucalion> MDC, I am not in the US. But regardless, I have no issue with tax dollars being spent to put roofs overhead and provide amenities & health care so people can get on their feet. But then I'm a fucking communist for not letting people rot on the side of the road or something. :D
[22:36:54] <MDC> It was because of SN that I accepted the housing
[22:37:02] <MDC> I've declined it several times before
[22:37:19] <MDC> Protested that I wanted it to go to those who were incapable of living on the street
[22:37:41] <MDC> But SN all ganged up and told me I'd be more likely to get back to work if I had housing
[22:37:47] <cmn32480> yep yep
[22:37:54] <cmn32480> and they are right!
[22:38:01] <Deucalion> There is no excuse for people living on the street in western democracies. It's fucking shameful.

[22:38:35] <cmn32480> right... we all need to live on drives, avenues and boulevards

[22:40:18] <MDC> I did quite a lot of walking - shelter to soup kitchen and back
[22:41:10] <MDC> I was at the food stamp office today when their computer went down
[22:41:25] <MDC> They kept processing people, but by writing down what we each needed
[22:41:35] <Deucalion> MDC, having a roof and running water and place to call home is so underrated by people who have never been without them that they sneer at those without - must be their own fault after all.
[22:41:36] <MDC> The staff had an air of desperation about them
[22:42:09] <MDC> I met a fellow who said "Some of the people who sleep on the street, they say they used to make six figures."
[22:42:19] <MDC> I wasn't the only homeless coder
[22:42:30] <cmn32480> likely true
[22:42:42] <cmn32480> but your area isn't exactly cheap to live in either

[22:43:06] <MDC> I actually live in Vancouver now, it's much cheaper than Portland
[22:43:13] <MDC> But I often spend my days in Portland
[22:43:14] <cmn32480> the soup the hotel is serving is really quite good
[22:43:34] <Deucalion> Wouldn't surprise me. We're encouraged to borrow up to our limit - then everyone acts surprised when some financial hiccup derails the monthly payments and within weeks... foreclosure and on the street.
[22:43:37] <MDC> I like soup. I make really good chicken soup
[22:43:39] * cmn32480 assumes there is a Vancouver Oregon
[22:44:00] <MDC> Vancouver Washington - it was the first, when Washington was part of Canada
[22:44:24] <MDC> Portland is on the south side of the Columbia River, Vancouver right on the north side
[22:44:29] <cmn32480> this is a tomato base, w/ rice some greens, chicken, and some round green spicy thigns that I used ot be able to identify...but forget the name of
[22:44:36] <cmn32480> ahhhh
[22:44:38] <cmn32480> gotcha
[22:45:22] <Deucalion> Now all the US has to do is sort out its insane health care situation to be considered civilised. :D
[22:45:22] <MDC> There is a wooden fort here, at one time a Canadian Army base, but handed over to US army when we established our border
[22:45:41] <MDC> and stop killing so many people
[22:45:48] <cmn32480> yes. shut donw Obama care... regulate pricing, and we can all go back to the doctors we were told we could keep
[22:46:23] <MDC> in Canada, I paid $25 for an office visit, before I got Canadian medical
[22:46:35] <MDC> At the time, in the US it would have been $100
[22:46:49] <cmn32480> and Deucalion - there are a LOT of insane things in the US
[22:47:06] <MDC> 10,000 bridges need repair
[22:47:11] <Deucalion> Nationalise or State-alise the damn thing. Ubiquitous healthcare should be a given in a civilised nation - free at point of consumption - cos ya know when you're fucking dying, your earning potential is pretty much nil and you need the help NOW.
[22:47:30] <cmn32480> for instance, we are a nation of about 320 million people... and Trump and Clinton are the best two options that we can come up with for the PResidency
[22:47:46] <MDC> that's because I chose not to run in 2016
[22:47:53] <Deucalion> :D

[22:55:23] <sea> If the architect says the building is gonna stay up, and it's standing up for years and years already, who cares how many inches apart the studs are?

[22:56:24] <MDC> he was with a police officer. I gave the cop the link to Living with Schizoaffective Disorder

[22:59:43] <MDC> It was on the front page of Kuro5hin back in 2003
[22:59:55] <sea> Oh, really? Huh. You're very old, then
[23:00:05] <sea> I found one of my favorite novels on Kuro5hin

[23:00:29] <MDC> I can't see close up anymore
[23:00:42] <cmn32480> sea - I have lots of hair... just not on the top of my head
[23:00:44] <MDC> I'm 52
[23:01:06] <cmn32480> 36
[23:01:21] <MDC> But my image of myself is that I'm still a teenager. It's hard to reconcile the two.
[23:01:48] <cmn32480> and based on the DOS keylogger article... NComm ander is only 28
[23:02:02] <sea> That's a pretty specific age there
[23:02:36] <cmn32480> how so?
[23:03:03] <cmn32480> he says "The year I was born (1988)..."

[23:04:00] <sea> MDC: Right, back to your thing
[23:04:16] <MDC> ?
[23:04:24] <sea> Here's the part I was interested in. Diagnosed at 21
[23:04:47] <MDC> Schizophrenia and Manic Depression usually strike when one is a young adult
[23:05:09] <MDC> A lot of my trouble was the result of attending Caltech
[23:05:13] <sea> Yeah, but there's enough time there to be partly through university and undiagnosed at that point
[23:05:35] <sea> So it's really bad that people have to wait until they're halfway through uni before they get diagnosed. They could have dropped out because they didn't have help and stuff
[23:05:38] <MDC> I had a hypomanic episode when I was 18, still in high school
[23:05:43] <sea> and what is this!?
[23:05:53] <sea> Is that a picture of a train climbing up a building?
[23:06:08] <MDC> Me and a friend declared that the english department seceded from the union
[23:06:09] <sea> Or going /down/ the building..
[23:06:26] <MDC> We called it The Independent Democratic Republic Of G Wing
[23:06:34] <MDC> I got suspended for three days
[23:06:45] <MDC> But no one suggested I needed to see a shrink
[23:07:38] <MDC> I've been crazy all my life though
[23:07:57] <MDC> I'm convinced I was psychotic when I was seven, but no adult noticed
[23:08:27] <MDC> My relative sanity now is the result of quite a lot of therapy as well as medicine
[23:12:48] <MDC> I think I may have the gumption required to write some code.
