[00:14:54] <chromas> brexit came just in time then
[00:57:35] * TheMightyBuzzard grabs another heine and decides to watch trump troll his way through another debate
[01:02:03] <cmn32480> I see what you did there TheMightyBuzzard
[01:02:54] * TheMightyBuzzard grins
[01:09:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh ya, that's why i didn't want to watch the debate.
[01:19:49] <chromas> 'cause you're outta beer?
[01:21:11] <cmn32480> he's got no heine
[01:22:01] <chromas> Hank Hill? Is that you?
[01:22:14] * cmn32480 needs some propane
[01:22:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, i made it a whole 13 minutes this time
[01:22:42] <cmn32480> till you had to pee?
[01:22:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, you ain't wrong. about 5000 gallons of LP should do it with the appropriate detonator.
[01:23:12] <cmn32480> why limit yourself to only one truckload?
[01:23:20] <chromas> ahem
[01:23:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> well mostly cause i haven't figured out how to drive two at once
[01:23:30] <chromas> You mean appropriate propane accessories
[01:23:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, i stand corrected
[01:23:47] <cmn32480> I still come back to "What the f**k? 350 Million people in this country, and we pick these two nimnobs????"
[01:24:23] <chromas> Troll of the millenium
[01:24:41] <cmn32480> Trump?
[01:24:48] <cmn32480> or Hillary?
[01:24:49] <chromas> The whole thing
[01:25:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, they're way out of my league
[01:25:28] <chromas> The 1% or Soros or whoever the bad guy of the moment is
[01:28:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> darth clinton takes the cake i think. she's got the biggest body count anyway.
[01:29:45] * chromas tries to watch it on youtube but none of the streams load
[01:30:34] <SirFinkus> moderator brought up wikileaks lol
[01:30:35] <SirFinkus> fucking owned hillary
[01:30:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> hur hur hur
[01:31:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> i still ain't watchin it no more. i'll just watch the folks talk about it on gab.ai
[01:32:17] <chromas> Found one with chat enabled. Lots of swastikas going by. Still no video
[01:32:38] * chromas kicks the internet
[01:33:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> lemme guess, she said something about russia and dodged the question
[01:33:22] <cmn32480> yep
[01:33:41] <cmn32480> russia
[01:33:43] <cmn32480> dodge
[01:33:51] <cmn32480> she dances like Muhammed Ali
[01:34:36] <cmn32480> heh.. handbrake seems to work good
[01:34:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> it is a bad som bitch
[01:34:59] <cmn32480> had to pull the extra dll for protected DVD's
[01:35:08] <cmn32480> that took a quick google
[01:35:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> great for ripping dvds or transcoding already ripped stuff to a slightly different format
[01:35:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> like 1080p down to 720p cause you're too old to tell the difference for instance
[01:35:57] <cmn32480> looks like 12 minutes per disk....
[01:36:21] <cmn32480> if I used the internal drive, it'd be quicker
[01:36:49] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Hard of Hearing? It's Not Your Ears, It's Your Brain - http://sylnt.us - what?

[01:40:09] <cmn32480> you need it to put yer booze in
[01:40:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> troof but i'm drinking straight from the bottles tonight
[01:40:34] <SirFinkus> fuck your cheesy redneck shit TheMightyBuzzard
[01:40:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, you got no soul, boy.
[01:40:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> i bet you're a ginger
[01:41:06] <SirFinkus> kind of like your shitty music
[01:41:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> country music is one of the greatest things the US ever invented. it's amazing for spotting elitist douches.
[01:42:11] * cmn32480 notes: TMB is drinking straight from the heine tonight
[01:42:18] <SirFinkus> old country is good, fucking bro country is terrible
[01:42:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> touche, cmn32480, touche
[01:42:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, brad paisley ain't bro country, foo
[01:43:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> his style's closer to bluegrass than anything else

[01:46:07] <SirFinkus> yeah, but I don't have a good pc capable of playing it properly
[01:46:41] * cmn32480 apologizes for bringing it up
[01:46:42] <SirFinkus> I'm getting another job shortly because the roadie thing is probably coming to an end
[01:46:48] <SirFinkus> I got an in at another place though
[01:46:58] <cmn32480> that's good
[01:47:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> Deucalion, think yall could see your way to burning DC to the ground again? I'd take it as a personal favor.
[01:48:04] <cmn32480> 1812 all over again
[01:48:14] <cmn32480> tonight it needs to be Vegas

[01:48:19] <MrPlow> https://www.youtube.com
[01:48:28] <cmn32480> TheMightyBuzzard - MKV or MP4?
[01:48:49] <Deucalion> If I answered in the affirmative that I'd never get past the gropers at your borders again
[01:48:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, mp4 is more widely playable. mkv is technically superior.
[01:49:08] <cmn32480> so try both and see what happens?
[01:49:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, yer not gonna notice any difference in mkv
[01:49:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> so just stick with mp4 for your own encodes
[01:50:11] <cmn32480> codec suggestion?
[01:50:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> um, x264
[01:50:35] <cmn32480> defaut
[01:50:49] <chromas> theora ;)
[01:51:22] <chromas> mkv is a container
[01:52:04] * cmn32480 is immediately skeptical because chromas is helping
[01:52:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya. it's technically superior but gains you nothing if you just want one audio stream, one video stream, and maybe some subs.
[01:52:40] <chromas> nuh uh, I'm not helping at all; theora sucks
[01:52:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> troof
[01:52:50] <chromas> /nick TrollBot
[01:53:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> vp9 ain't bad but it takes forever to encode to. ditto x265

[01:55:42] <chromas> it's the current year; where's our quantum codecs?
[01:55:43] * cmn32480 takes another pass....
[01:55:56] <cmn32480> the mechanics are still working on them
[01:56:12] <cmn32480> like yer car.. it'll be done next Tuesday
[01:58:18] <cmn32480> holy crap.. I can see the top of my desk!
[01:58:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> quick, drink more beer
[01:58:37] <Deucalion> did you accidentally tip it over?
[01:59:02] <chromas> 'accidentally'
[01:59:16] <cmn32480> gpt so bored listening to the debate that I started cleaning
[01:59:57] <Deucalion> one way to clear the detritus... tip it over into a heap, if you don't need it in the next 12 months it goes in the fire
[02:00:22] <cmn32480> or I can avoid vomiting by cleaning and hope that the pain ends soon
[02:01:05] <Deucalion> did you go on a hop-a-thon on that broken ankle or something?
[02:01:39] <chromas> mental anguish
[02:01:50] <cmn32480> nah... watching the presidential debate
[02:03:38] <cmn32480> it's important.. but much like hitting myself in the head with a hammer, it'll feel good when I stop
[02:04:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, it's not really important. you're fucked either way.
[02:05:15] <cmn32480> TheMightyBuzzard: s/you're/we're/
[02:05:17] <exec> <cmn32480> <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, it's not really important. we're fucked either way.
[02:05:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> meh, ima steal my roomie's bass boat n become a pirate.
[02:10:32] <chromas> living bass-to-mouth
[02:11:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> because you know i'm all about that bass
[02:13:28] <cmn32480> says the guy who was drinking from the heine
[02:23:12] * TheMightyBuzzard is bringin booty back
[02:38:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> is it over yet?
[02:42:25] -!- xuser has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[02:44:51] <SirFinkus> yeah, it was pretty boring tbh
[02:45:18] <SirFinkus> I thought the moderator did a decent job, but no really funny moments
[02:45:24] <Deucalion> so how long til you have to vote in one of these toxic candidates? (This race does kinda highlight the glaring flaw in 2 party politics I suppose)
[02:46:35] <SirFinkus> heat death of the universe
[02:46:40] <SirFinkus> if you vote for either of these assholes, you're insane
[02:46:55] <cmn32480> November 8
[02:47:23] <SirFinkus> hillary will win, which means more of the same I guess
[02:47:38] <cmn32480> we are all fucked either way
[02:50:56] <Deucalion> makes you think about "representative" democracy when people have to vote for the least worst :)
[02:53:14] <SirFinkus> they don'T
[02:53:18] <SirFinkus> but they do
[02:54:31] <cmn32480> Doom - Disk space required: 71GB
[02:54:34] <cmn32480> JFC
[02:55:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, hillary's polling roughly even and polls ALWAYS favor the democrat vs the truth. check reagan vs carter polls being like 10 points in favor of carter in 80 and we all know what a landslide that was.
[02:55:45] <SirFinkus> yeah, we'll see
[02:56:11] <SirFinkus> I'll do something degrading in IRC if I'm wrong if you agree to the same
[02:56:14] * cmn32480 hopes that tmb is correct... and that the polling for Johnson is REALLY off
[02:56:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> ain't sayin trump'll win cause hey, mass voter fraud, but it should be interesting.
[02:57:15] <SirFinkus> I think similar margin as obama mcain, maybe a bit more for hillary
[02:57:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't gamble, yo. it's almost a certainty i'll do something degrading anyway though.
[02:58:07] <cmn32480> use your johnson to vote for johnson?
[02:58:17] <SirFinkus> ok, so I'll be able to say "I told you so" and likewise with you
[02:58:36] <SirFinkus> and neither party is allowed to bitch
[02:58:44] <SirFinkus> and it can be brought up for eternity
[02:58:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, remember the whole national popular vote compact though. if trump wins the national popular vote he gets california, new york, illinois, and like 7 other states no matter who they voted for in those states.
[02:58:52] <cmn32480> both parties shoudl be tarred and feathered
[02:59:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, troof
[02:59:15] <SirFinkus> that's happened like, once?
[02:59:22] <SirFinkus> it would be hilarious though
[02:59:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, multiple times
[02:59:31] <SirFinkus> imagine how butthurt california would be
[02:59:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i would laugh my entire ass off if cali had to go red
[02:59:57] <SirFinkus> new york too
[03:00:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> it'd almost be worth putting up with trump for that
[03:00:17] <cmn32480> maryland

[03:01:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> my personal hope is this, and i know it's a longshot from hell...
[03:01:28] <cmn32480> tie?
[03:01:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> johnson and stein manage to keep either candidate from getting 270 and it goes to congress to decide. congress being thoroughly red right now but hating trump decides fuck it, let's put johnson in.
[03:02:28] * cmn32480 waits for pigs to fly past the window
[03:02:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause once it gets to congress they can do whatever the fuck they want with it.
[03:03:41] <cmn32480> yep... it's a long shot of long shots
[03:03:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's roughly equivilent to hoping a meteor strikes both major party candidates but the thought warms the cockles of my heart.

[15:53:26] <FatPhil> High ceilings and rafters and fancy light fittings are all well and good. But when a bulb 4m above where your double bed is blows, it's a super fucking drag to replace. Let's hope the step-ladder reaches it, it's the first one I've had to replace.
[15:55:58] <FatPhil> Am I the only one who has "6 years" light bulbs last only 18 months? It's cheaper in the long run, they say, but I'm damn sure fucking heat globes last just as long and cost a quarter of the price.

[17:50:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> janrinok: I'm just trying to get it running at this point; I don't care what init system it uses.
[17:51:24] <janrinok> just a passing thought - download ubuntu 14.04 (no systemd) and try running the live disk in your computer. that would prove the hardware compatibility and allow you to format drives or whatever before going for the install...?
