[02:47:15] <Nacho> ^ 03BREAKING: Jill Stein Just ENDORSED Donald Trump! Watch Her Obliterate Hillary! -
[02:47:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's gonna chap some asses
[02:48:47] <takyon> wtf
[02:50:57] <takyon> "If Trump's campaign is flailing, does a "spoiler" vote even exist anymore? Don't waste your vote on corporate Democrats. #InvestYourVote
[02:50:57] <takyon> " - Jill Stein
[02:51:08] <takyon> so she is asking for a vote, not endorsing trump
[02:52:32] <SirFinkus> that sounds like horseshit TheMightyBuzzard
[02:53:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, what, you expect me to RTFA?
[02:53:36] <SirFinkus> yeah, article is trash
[02:53:59] <SirFinkus> takes a quote of of context and spins it as her getting on the "trump train"
[02:53:59] <takyon> truthy conservative media
[02:54:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> i barely read headlines unless they're ours
[02:54:27] <SirFinkus> and the headline is complete bullshit
[02:55:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean my mind's been made up since like a year before they started the primaries
[02:56:40] <takyon> for who
[02:57:23] <takyon> Johnson?
[02:57:53] <SirFinkus> My Johnson?
[02:58:12] <chromas> Big Johnson
[02:58:28] <SirFinkus> Jack Enmy Johnson is always a classic write in choice
[03:00:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> donald
[03:00:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> duck not trump
[03:01:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i'm dropping one for Johnson. not because i like him but just to get libertarians federal campaign funding next go round.
[03:01:57] <takyon> yeah
[03:02:18] <takyon> I was gonna go with Jill for being arrested but it might be better to give the liberts a prop up
[03:02:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> they stand a more realistic chance of getting someone in office than the greens
[03:04:01] <SirFinkus> If I'm going to vote for my principles, I'm going to vote for my principles, why I'm going Green
[03:04:10] <SirFinkus> 420 BLAZE IT
[03:04:12] <takyon> updated Hexchat
[03:04:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd really like to see both minor parties get on the ticket though so i hope greens get 5% too.
[03:04:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, libertarians are pro-legalization as well
[03:04:55] <SirFinkus> naw, I agree with her on other policy things
[03:05:10] <SirFinkus> and legal in my state anyway, so fuck all ya'll
[03:05:13] <takyon> disillusioned progressives are a main thing donald needs to win. he has been name dropping bernie since he lost
[03:05:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> ah, good on ya then. hope she gets them funding next time.
[03:05:45] <SirFinkus> really, I'd be happy with either of them
[03:05:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, he's ahead in the polls again.
[03:06:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind you the only reason he was behind in the polls is they were polling like 40% registered democrats.
[03:06:31] <takyon> bullshit, TheMightyBuzzard
[03:06:32] <takyon> http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com
[03:06:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> minds don't change 5+% in a couple days as a general rule
[03:07:37] <SirFinkus> very unlikely that hillary is going to lose
[03:07:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> rasmussen has him up by two points
[03:08:07] <SirFinkus> images of her reinacting elizibeth bathory's bathing habits wouldn't even stop that
[03:08:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> looks like johnson is gonna get the 5% though. or very nearly.
[03:09:16] <chromas> Do people really keep answering polls over and over again to indicate their latest position?
[03:09:29] <takyon> when you say 5%, is that just a share of the national popular vote the libertarians need to get federal campaign funding?
[03:09:44] <takyon> ...and would they reject that funding on principle?
[03:09:55] <SirFinkus> lol that's a good question takyon
[03:10:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, she'll just have him killed if it looks like he's gonna win. https://wikileaks.org
[03:10:07] <Nacho> ^ 03WikiLeaks - The Podesta Emails
[03:10:29] <SirFinkus> I don't got that deep with the conspiracies
[03:10:43] * SirFinkus is listening to Rammstein — Du Hast, from the album Völkerball
[03:10:52] <SirFinkus> just remembered how awesome rammstein is
[03:10:56] <takyon> funny fact about Du Hast
[03:11:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, depends on the libertarian. i'm generally a what's done is done libertarian. if you've already stolen the money from the people and have no plans of giving it back, at least use it for something good.
[03:11:13] <SirFinkus> I should learn some of their songs
[03:11:29] <Bytram> Ich habe, du hast, er habt.
[03:11:37] <Bytram> I have, you have, he has
[03:11:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> but i'm not sure if that's popular vote or EC votes. i'd hafta look again.
[03:11:52] <Bytram> and with that very short German lesson, is time for bed for me.

[10:41:28] <chromas> just 'cause she said yes doesn't mean she didnt' change her mind later

[10:42:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> ikr?

[10:45:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll build us a slackware vm eventually though
[10:45:42] <chromas> the aur has a bunch o' non-systemd stuff. I should give it a go
[10:46:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya i had a look at that but most of it is outdated last i looked
[10:46:46] <chromas> oh. gay
[10:47:17] <chromas> we just need to dangle some other idea in front of lennart and kay, then let the adults take over systemd like they did pulseaudio
[10:47:37] <chromas> maybe we can get them to make a new kernel
[10:48:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i really don't wanna spend all day every day compiling updates, so gentoo's kinda out as a desktop distro
[10:48:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, then we could just not use it and have our linux back
[10:49:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't feel up to building a slack vm today.
[10:49:58] <chromas> "It may be easier to switch distributions if you want to have it your way."

[10:51:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> hail to the king, baby
[10:51:17] <chromas> just poke mecctro into finishing that install script then you can vm it all up
[10:51:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, rest of the install script is something i needa do
[10:52:23] <chromas> sounds like work
[10:52:31] <chromas> must be time for fooshin' 'n' vidya
[10:52:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> or actually the install stuff is done but some code needs refactoring

[10:53:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, house cleanin. kids show up this afternoon.
[10:54:18] <chromas> Spread computer parts 'round the house and see what they do
[10:54:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> tried this before. they grab tools and take them further apart.
[10:56:05] <chromas> Give them ratcheting screwdrivers with the lever glued so they can only tighten

[11:41:20] <muxer> For what?
[11:42:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> gonna try getting a slack dev vm going so we don't have to go to bsd when time comes to upgrade SN servers
[11:42:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't wanna hafta relearn bsd after not touching it for 20 years.
[11:43:16] <boru> Pft.
[11:43:27] <boru> If you want consistency, go with BSD.
[11:44:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> and if you want hardware support and faster critical updates, go with linux.
[11:44:19] <boru> Not true.
[11:44:30] <muxer> ohhhhh slackware, not the chat software slack
[11:44:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> zatso?
[11:44:51] <boru> Well, on the hardware front, support for newer hardware might be slower, but with ports, you'll have critical updates long before distros get around to compiling and staging their packages.
[11:45:35] <boru> XX.Y-RELEASE branch of FreeBSD tends to be pretty snappy in terms of patches, too (for the base system)
[11:46:06] <boru> Anyway, I'm not going to go into full fanboi mode about my perceived benefits, again...
[11:46:17] <boru> Slack is still pretty solid, imho.
[11:46:27] <boru> It's the only Linux I'd install these days.
[11:49:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> zactly
[11:50:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> the main point here is we got linux admins out the wazoo but several of us ain't qualified to admin bsd boxen currently

[12:09:21] <cmn32480> but I got home in time to put the kids to bed, so that was a plus
[12:09:47] <cmn32480> hows thigns been here?
[12:09:50] <cmn32480> quiet?
[12:12:52] <boru> I haven't been around much, myself.
[12:13:22] <boru> I've been snowed under with work (so much for inter-project downtime), and giddily spending this year's astronomy budget.
[12:23:06] <cmn32480> any cool new toys? or is all of it on cool new toys?
[12:24:10] <boru> New GEM, new focuser, new filters. More new kit next year.
[12:24:21] <cmn32480> ~define GEM
[12:24:22] <exec> [urbandictionary] 03gem: A gem is something that is absolutely great. Usually preceded by the word 'absolute.' Popularized by a certain individual named Dave A.

[12:25:09] <boru> German Equatorial Mount -- dual axis (right accension, declination), motorised, with a pointing model for 'goto' capability, and compensating for sidereal movement.
[12:25:25] <cmn32480> that was the second Google result
[12:25:34] <cmn32480> https://en.wikipedia.org
[12:25:35] <Nacho> ^ 03Wiki: Equatorial mount
[12:25:46] <cmn32480> neat
[12:25:48] <boru> You can plug an optical feedback loop into that, too, to 'guide out' mechanical difficiences in worm gears etc.
[12:25:55] <cmn32480> sound like a high precision instrument
[12:25:59] <boru> Then a new custom focuser.
[12:26:13] <chromas> the price is astronomical
[12:26:23] <cmn32480> star-tlingly so
[12:26:35] <boru> That will do automatic focusing and field rotation down to 1/100th of a degree, with temperature compensation, and finally, some new filters.
[12:26:57] <boru> I have a bunch of 3nm FWHM filters for specific emission lines, and I'm getting a few more.
[12:27:01] <cmn32480> assuming that isn't just for home use, it sounds lke some pretty neat new kit
[12:27:28] <boru> I have H-alpha, [OIII] and [SII], but I'd like H-beta and [NII] for high energy events.
[12:27:29] <cmn32480> if it is for home use, you must have QUITE the setup!
[12:27:36] <boru> Yeah, just home use.
[12:28:09] * cmn32480 knows jsut enough about astronomy to be dangerous with my cub scout den
[12:28:33] <boru> It's admirable that you teach them about it.
[12:28:39] <boru> I do some outreach, as well.
[12:29:05] <cmn32480> we are actually goiung to the local community college telescope in a couple weeks
[12:29:07] <boru> Mostly visual observing with kids, but imaging masterclass with older folks.
[12:29:19] <boru> Ah, very good.
[12:29:25] <cmn32480> these are all 1st graders....
[12:29:34] <boru> Are you far outside any large city limits?
[12:29:39] <cmn32480> visual observation is about what they can handle
[12:29:55] <cmn32480> 30 miles outside Baltimore.. but it is the suburbs
[12:30:14] <boru> Mars and Saturn are up at the moment, Jupiter is probably the most interesting planet to look at, but alas it's Sun side at the moment.
[12:30:31] <boru> That ought to afford some decent views, if the light dome isn't so large.
[12:30:42] <boru> THe interesting part of the Milky Way is rising at this time of year, too.
[12:30:56] <cmn32480> spiffy
[12:31:06] <boru> You'll easily see objects like M42 (Orion Nebula) etc. That's about the brightest nebula in the Northern Hemisphere.
[12:31:30] <boru> In a large instrumnts, the dust lanes are easy.
[12:32:02] <cmn32480> so providing we don't ahve cloud cover, there should be lots to look at?
[12:32:06] <boru> Lots of interesting stuff in the sky at this time of year, though; the circumpolar stuff like the double open cluster in Perseus, the Ring Nebula in Lyra etc.
[12:32:12] <boru> They're all easy ones to show kids.
[12:32:19] <boru> Yeah, plenty.
[12:32:27] <boru> Install Stellarium.
[12:32:32] * cmn32480 breathes a sigh of relief and hopes the clouds hold off
[12:32:33] <boru> Plan your observing session with that.
[12:32:51] <boru> (Kids generally have piles of fun with Stellarium)
[12:33:07] <cmn32480> the volunteers that run the telescope have a program all set up already apparently
[12:33:33] <boru> Very well. I'm sure they'll know their way around enough to show them some of the cool objects.
[12:33:38] <cmn32480> they run an open house for the community once a month
[12:33:47] * boru nods.
[12:34:06] <boru> Same here, locally.
[12:34:22] <cmn32480> I hope so.. 20 bored cub scouts is a bad thing
[12:34:42] <boru> I did a lot more outreach back in Ireland, but the local club here is the largest in the country, and the unis do a few lectures a week.
[12:35:19] <boru> Well, I think explaining to kids exactly what they're looking at gives them a new appreciation for it.
[12:35:57] <boru> How far these objects are away, and consequently how long ago you're seeing them etc.
[12:36:12] <boru> Especially other galaxies!
[12:37:21] <cmn32480> it is fascinating... and when explained well, it really brings them in
[12:37:31] <boru> Definitely.
[12:37:46] <boru> Even their parents are sometimes utterly astounded when they see, say, Saturn for the first time.
[12:38:51] <boru> "It really _does_ have rings!" -- it's amusing, as is that sudden spark in kids eyes when they really understand what all of the stars in the sky are, and then you show them a galaxy with that number or more again.
[12:39:25] <boru> The real brain breaker is when you show them the Hubble UDF; and tell them about the Virgo supercluster, and then the Great Attractor.
[12:40:03] <boru> And just over the last few days, the new ESO release which posits that there are ten times more galaxies in the observable universe than we thought.
[12:41:37] <boru> The PR image is astounding (150MB): https://cdn.spacetelescope.org
[12:42:07] <boru> And that's merely a portion of the Southern GOODS field: http://spacetelescope.org
[12:43:58] <cmn32480> I saw something about that
[12:44:44] <cmn32480> but haven't had a chance to dig into it any further. it makes you fel really small in consideration of how many galaxies there are
[12:44:56] <boru> Yeah, indeed.
[12:45:25] <boru> The Hubble UDF alone is remarkable, and that's a tiny fragment of the sky.

[16:31:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> cmn32480: I'm in (well, near) Tampa - flights from here to Havana are around $150.
[16:32:02] <boru> There are no restrictions for the rest of the world, currently. But in order to boost their economy with their nearest neighbour, and given the market for Cuban cigars, I can see prices going up.
[16:32:11] <boru> Tobacco isn't like other commodities.
[16:32:54] * cmn32480 checks the email he just got from Southwest...
[16:32:54] <janrinok> the UK has restrictions on tobacco imports from non-EU countries - and there are no EU tobacco producing countries anyway
[16:33:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> the other commodities that are like tobacco are wine and coffee
[16:33:21] <boru> There's no embargo on Cuban tobacco.
[16:33:27] <AndyTheAbsurd> organics where point-of-origin is considered import to lots of people
[16:34:07] <boru> You could buy Cuban cigars in practically any other country up to now.
[16:34:17] <AndyTheAbsurd> chromas: nice graph, thanks for sharing
[16:34:27] <chromas> "4D printing"
[16:34:47] <boru> "Gartner"
[16:35:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> WTF is "Enterprise Taxonomy and Ontology Management"? Sounds like made-up bullshit that someone made a fortune off of.
[16:35:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, it's basically her lawyer objecting to every question and then saying she does not recall anything at all since ever.
[16:35:57] <janrinok> tourists are limited to 200 ciggies, or 50 cigars without paying additional duty, but you get hammered after that
[16:36:47] <janrinok> brb - rebooting
[16:37:26] <cmn32480> AndyTheAbsurd - Southwest is booking from TPA to Havana for $59
[16:37:27] janrinok is now known as zz_janrinok
[16:37:45] <cmn32480> $91 on the way back
[16:39:52] <cmn32480> that is in January

[16:43:02] <cmn32480> my father WAS a native
[16:43:27] <cmn32480> he came on an airplane... and I assume that is how he woudl like to go back and visit

[17:29:20] <janrinok> how long do American's celebrate Halloween? In the UK it is just the evening of 31 Oct. If the interwebs are to be believed, for the US it is most of October
[17:31:43] <cmn32480> officially just that 1 day
[17:32:14] <janrinok> I've just been reading about parties in the US this weekend...
[17:32:16] <cmn32480> some people treat it like the christmas season where decorations go up sometime around Oct. 1 and they celebrate all month long
[17:32:36] <cmn32480> parties happen all month long depending on the people
[17:32:39] <mechanicjay> yeah, lots of 'mericans are dumb
[17:32:49] <cmn32480> ^^^^^^^ truth!

[18:25:06] <Nacho> ^ 03Exploits of Jeff-183
[18:29:06] <janrinok> are you saying that is you, or just the same costume as the one you wear?
[18:30:40] <weeds> Indeed, that is me.
[18:32:03] <janrinok> amazing
[18:32:25] <janrinok> no point in doing things by half
[18:32:55] <weeds> Took the better part of my free time for a year.
[18:33:49] <janrinok> not surprised - but either you or the costume seem to pull the chicks...
[18:34:33] <weeds> The story kind of goes like this ... "sure I'll be a ninja. You should be the Master Chief"
[18:35:21] <janrinok> how long does it take to put on and take off?
[18:35:28] <weeds> I only revealed myself once. I kept the mystery of the characger, so it was the master chief that was getting the chicks :)
[18:37:03] <weeds> All together it's about 22 pieces. It's not that flexible, so I can't put the boots on myself. It takes about 15 - 20 mins with a little help.
[18:37:11] <cmn32480> yer a cute chick weeds
[18:37:39] <janrinok> good pun!
[18:38:16] <weeds> I was gong to say it's me in the costume. Then there would be some dicussion about which was a costume etc. So I just decided to take it. Nice pun too!
[18:39:25] <cmn32480> lotta nerds in those pictures... I'm surprised there were any girls there at all
[18:40:09] <cmn32480> lotsa sweat pants adn hoodies... kinda like girl repellant
[18:45:03] <weeds> Many of those are midnight releases at GameStop. Not exactly a chick bonanza.
[18:45:32] <janrinok> weeds, just been reading about the construction - that's a hella effort, and just because your daughter suggested it! good work
[18:46:24] <weeds> janrinok: thanks. Truly it is a lot of fun to wear. When I wore it to the middle school for Halo - ween, the kids loved it.
[18:47:59] <janrinok> not surprised. You also deserve an award for being a Master Dad!
[18:48:28] <weeds> Wore on the 4th of July at a huge picnic. Some big dude lays into me about impersonating an officer! Just be fore him and his buddy start to kick my @$$...
