[00:01:11] <Deucalion> Well all the major "networks" are merrily canning easy text comms thinkingh they can ladle on ads by offering their own app. Sorry..... we be here, always have been.
[00:01:22] <FatPhil> I quite like the "globally" things, they help remind you that there's a big ole world out there that's unimaginably different from the bubble we're in.
[00:01:58] <Deucalion> I guess it's subjective.
[00:02:31] <FatPhil> the fact that they're kinda meaningless is the payload.
[00:02:56] <FatPhil> we're probably in violent agreement!
[00:03:32] <Deucalion> I don't do violence.

[04:21:52] <charon> how goes it?
[04:22:02] <Bytram> okay, wicked windy atm
[04:22:17] <Bytram> toss in chilly temps and I'm glad I have a roof over my head tonight
[04:22:57] <Bytram> is currently about 5 F and winds ae about 25 mph
[04:23:07] <Bytram> Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!eleven!
[04:23:16] <charon> same around me. are you in the boston area?
[04:23:30] <FatPhil> that's like -15 in real money?
[04:23:56] <Bytram> how 'bout -27 F
[04:24:02] <charon> oh you kids with your celsius scale
[04:24:46] <FatPhil> Oh, you wild-west yanks with your Fahrenheit scale
[04:26:45] <FatPhil> Hahah, I heard something hilarious the other day from a yank. "don't blah blah blah personal check[sic] blah blah blah".
[04:27:26] <FatPhil> There are people here in europe who have never, and will never, see a personal cheque, and wouldn't even recognise one or know what to do with it if they did see one.
[04:27:42] <FatPhil> People well into their 20s

[04:30:33] * Bytram nudges exec again
[04:31:25] <charon> i get them very rarely at my work, but i bet you're right that a lot of people have no clue. my kids probably wouldn't
[04:31:57] * Bytram sees 'em a few times a week
[04:32:12] <Bytram> personally writes a few each month
[04:34:17] <FatPhil> Last checque account I was, unsurprisingly, in the UK in the 1990s
[04:35:19] * Bytram cheques his calendar
[04:35:20] <FatPhil> When I brought a grant check to Finland in 1993 when I first moved there the bank didn't know how to process it, they stopped using them for day-to-day things in the 80s
[04:35:46] <charon> i give one to my landlord every month, but other than that i never use them myself
[04:36:24] <Bytram> rent, electric, and a couple other bills/services does it for me... o/w cash
[04:36:41] <FatPhil> why not use a standing order for regular payments?
[04:36:57] <FatPhil> anad a direct debit for varying payments?
[04:37:11] <FatPhil> these are solved problems, have been for over 4 decades?
[04:37:40] <charon> i do for everything else. but i never thought about it for my rent
[04:37:58] <Bytram> not an option for rent, for me
[04:38:16] <FatPhil> last time I paid for accomodation not using an electronic means was, unsurprisingly, in the UK in the 90s
[04:38:33] <Bytram> and for the rest, I don't have vast gobs of cash lying around, so I prefer to send out checks to make payments when I feel like it.
[04:38:38] <charon> "hey landlord, give me your banking info"
[04:38:44] * charon is evicted
[04:40:37] <Bytram> yes, I'm aware that there are other ways to get monies to whomever, but I worked long enough in software, I'd prefer to stick with well-known, time-tested procedures, check/envelope/stamp
[04:40:52] <Bytram> or, even pay in person
[04:41:15] <FatPhil> as I say, a backward country, it's endemic.
[04:41:25] * charon pulls out a wad of cash and starts counting with ones
[04:42:04] <FatPhil> I've got to admit that with all the big-data tracking that's going on, day-to-day stuff in cash is looking more and more appealing
[04:43:59] <FatPhil> WHen we used to buy 90% of our food from the local market last year, cash was the only option. But we've moved further away from the market, and it's undergoing refurbishments, so supermarkets and plastic it is.
[04:47:34] <charon> wait til it's outlawed
[04:52:13] <chromas> Bytram: but think of the QA you could do on the new systemd!

[04:52:47] <Bender> karma - systemd: -30
[04:52:55] <Bytram> otoh cash has serial numbers, too
[04:53:55] <FatPhil> We were expecting EEKs to still be accepted at the market for ages after we converted to Euros. But even the little old ladies converted without complaint instantly. The older ones probably remember the introduction of the EEK after the rouble, and considered it to be a non-event.
[04:55:07] <Bytram> EEK?
[04:55:26] <Bytram> currency for people who are afraid of mice?
[04:55:43] <charon> i assume everyone could turn them in for euro well in advance?

[04:59:48] <Bytram> ciao! (or should I say "chow!?)
[05:00:00] <Bytram> this time for sure... bye!
[05:01:56] <chromas> aw, can't we stay up for just one more pun?
[05:02:55] <charon> you can send him PMs all night to drive him nuts when he logs in
[05:03:39] * chromas creates a systemd timer for pings
[05:04:51] <FatPhil> nighty-night Bytram
[05:06:44] <FatPhil> charon: not being a cash-dealing business, I don't know how long in advance Euros were available. I remember the cash-machine handover was incredibly slick.
[05:08:19] <FatPhil> I think I withdrew my first Euros on my way home from the new years eve party
[05:08:48] <charon> huh, that's cool that it was as seamless as possible
[05:08:54] <FatPhil> Town centre of the capital city of course would have priority, so it's no surprise.
[05:09:44] <FatPhil> For about 2 days before handover, more and more machines were taken out of service, and at midnight all the euro ones went online, and all the EEK ones went offline.
[05:10:02] <FatPhil> No idea how it was done in small towns.
[05:10:42] <charon> it's like they actually planned it out
[05:11:05] <FatPhil> Most of the Estonian banks are banks that previously went through the same change in Finland a few years earlier, I'm sure they learnt from that one, which also went quite smoothly.
[05:11:40] <FatPhil> Every country I move to changes to the euro within 2 years... should I move back to the UK? }:-)
[05:12:00] <charon> hah, you could reverse Brexit with your curse
[05:12:02] <chromas> or the US
[05:13:22] <FatPhil> Euro ain't a curse. I freaking love it.
[05:13:22] <charon> i went to ireland right after the changeover, and people were still making fun of the euro notes as looking like crap
[05:13:53] <FatPhil> I forget what Eire banknotes looked like before, I presume they were monochromatic
[05:14:10] <charon> i never saw them, they were already out of circulation
[05:14:32] <FatPhil> everyone who comes from a monochromatic banknote country thinks that multi-coloured banknotes look like toy money.

[05:18:50] <charon> no
[05:20:06] <FatPhil> In order to not select any countries as special, all the architectural designs on the notes are made up in general styles, rather than actual edifices
[05:20:41] <charon> interesting. the prototypical [style] bridge
[05:20:54] <FatPhil> Some joker in the Netherlands decides to build exactly the bridges on all of the notes in a new town on a river.

[05:22:00] <charon> must have cost a fortune
[05:23:43] <charon> do the coins still have a symbol of their native countries on the back?
[05:23:55] <FatPhil> Fortunately they're not huge, and were needed anyway.
[05:24:12] <FatPhil> Each country has one side of their own design, yes.
[05:24:24] <FatPhil> It's an interesting way to track tourism.
[05:25:04] <charon> yeah, even though it was only a couple noths in, when i visited, ireland had a ton of non-eire coins floating around
[05:26:17] <FatPhil> I conclude that the Dutch are good travellers, or lots of people go to the Netherlands andcome back with a few coins, as they're over-represented in the coins relative to country size.

[06:31:08] <FatPhil> Agree. Again, TMB's the man to fix that.
[06:31:27] <stderr> NerdRPG takes place in #irpg for those who "care" about that. Why can't #fite take place in ... hmm... #fite?
[06:32:31] <FatPhil> same answer as above
[06:32:48] <FatPhil> presumably it doesn't care where messages come from
[06:33:05] <stderr> TheMightyBuzzard: Please fix!
[06:33:25] <FatPhil> I tried to keep spam even lower by #fiteing over privmsg, but ironically it doesn't understand privmsg!
[06:34:22] <chromas> wouldn't work anyhow. fites only work when the bot sees the fitee in the channel

[06:36:36] <chromas> oh I meant the pming part wouldn't work
[06:36:43] <stderr> Ah, ok.
[06:36:54] <chromas> plus it's not like it's the only spam in this channel ;)
[06:37:19] * chromas pushes a pinto into the channel and props it up on cinder blocks
[06:37:32] <FatPhil> unless #fite was implicit in its operation, which is the feature being requested.
[06:38:06] <chromas> I think MrPlow doesn't do PMs because that's extra programming
[06:38:14] <FatPhil> why should the whole world see my #fitectl status request and its results?
[06:38:54] <stderr> On a completely unrelated note: How do I report spam in this channel? :-)
[06:39:05] <chromas> because irc is social networking and that's the whole point of irc games
[06:39:28] <FatPhil> chromas: on its appropriate channel
[06:39:29] <chromas> spam the channel until someone else complains then say "he did it first!"
[06:39:50] <stderr> chromas: So why doesn't NerdRPG take place in this channel too?
[06:40:13] <chromas> The bot's not in here
[06:40:31] <stderr> Ok... Why is MrPlow in here?
[06:40:52] <FatPhil> ah, because nerdrpg is written by a responsible programmer ;-)
[06:40:57] <chromas> For irc mutual masturbatory purposes
[06:41:13] * chromas does most of his fiting in other channels
[06:41:19] <FatPhil> different channels for your different kinks

[06:41:22] * MrPlow smakes FatPhil upside the head with a red Swingline stapler
[06:41:31] <charon> that's why MrPlow is here
[06:42:18] <stderr> Ok... So how do I report spam?
[06:42:44] <charon> i'd assume you send a message to deucalion, who is the lord of IRC
[06:43:53] <chromas> tmb should make fites not work here but remove the nick blocks so we can fite all the std i/os
[06:45:32] <FatPhil> who and/or what are the std i/os?
[06:45:46] <stderr> FatPhil: stdin, stdout and me...
[06:46:08] * chromas redirects stderr (ping) to stdout
[06:46:24] <FatPhil> but you're not on #fite
[06:46:24] <stderr> I wouldn't do that...
[06:46:33] <charon> there are 3 sexually transmitted diseases in the channel?
[06:46:58] <stderr> FatPhil: But stdin and/or stdout might be some day...
[06:47:04] <chromas> Sure, but if fites are confined to #fite then we should be able to fite anyone the bot can see
