[00:46:04] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - After Release of U.S. Senate Report, Backpage Shuts Down U.S. Adult Section - http://sylnt.us - is-he-a-pimp-or-not?
[00:50:14] <Deucalion> ~weather
[00:50:17] <exec> 10London, UK - currently 42°F / 6°C, clear with periodic clouds, wind SW at 10 mph, humidity 71% - Wednesday partly cloudy (39°F:50°F / 4°C:10°C), Thursday rain and snow (32°F:43°F / 0°C:6°C), Friday rain and snow (32°F:41°F / 0°C:5°C), Saturday sunny (32°F:41°F / 0°C:5°C)
[00:50:25] * Deucalion hat tip nick
[00:51:56] <charon_> pip pip cheerio, my good Deucalion!
[00:52:22] <Deucalion> cheerio? are you leaving us old bean?
[00:53:50] * nick hat tip Deucalion
[00:54:21] <Deucalion> how goes it nick? All rosy in your garden sir?
[00:55:23] <nick> brain has not been working too good today
[00:55:27] <nick> but generally all is well
[00:59:25] <nick> is Deucalion doing ok?
[01:02:52] <Fnord666> Good evening all
[01:02:59] <Fnord666> How is everyone this eve?
[01:03:57] * Deucalion has done a 14hr shift today, brain and physical no longer firing on all cylinders. Nothing a good kip won't sort out. Just decompressing for an hour or so.
[01:04:10] <Deucalion> How's Fnord666 ?
[01:04:28] <Fnord666> doing well. thanks for asking.
[01:05:11] <Fnord666> Took a second to translate 'kip' though.
[01:05:41] <Fnord666> kip - (in leather-making) the hide of a young or small animal.
[01:06:14] <Fnord666> That's a long day.
[01:06:42] <charon_> he's barmy, he is
[01:07:11] * Deucalion invoked my legal right to 11 hour break between shifts when I got home. Moved my shift start an hour later tomorrow. :D They may not like it, but they have to suck it up as it would be illegal for me to go to work any earlier :) Only done that twice in nigh on a year.
[01:07:51] <Fnord666> That's an interesting rule
[01:07:53] <Deucalion> Fnord666, I wasn;t aware of that definition of "kip". I of course meant "sleep"
[01:07:54] <charon_> good on you. 11 hours is just about reasonable
[01:08:02] <charon_> any less is not
[01:08:22] <Fnord666> I did find that definition although I had to go tothe "urban dictionary" to find it.
[01:09:10] <Deucalion> It's time enough to decompress, eat, shower and get a full night's rest. I'd say it is a very reasonable law charon_ Rpeatedly doing more than that would be a life shortener I suspect.
[01:09:15] <Fnord666> apparently it's also "A kip is an informal measurement of force that equals 1,000 pounds. The name is a combination of "kilo" and "pound.""
[01:09:51] <Fnord666> Or the amount of time people continue to work for you if you put them through that much.
[01:09:58] <Deucalion> Isn't that an imperial tonne equivalent? I'm too crackered to look it up.
[01:11:41] <charon_> Deucalion: i am very occasionally called on to close at 10pm and open the next morning at 6. it is supposed to be illegal here too, but guess how long you'll have a job if you complain
[01:12:34] <Fnord666> close but an imperial tonne is 1000 kilos rather than 1000 pounds.
[01:12:51] <Fnord666> so the next time any of us are on Jeopardy....
[01:13:16] <charon_> 23 drachms to the pennyweight
[01:13:46] <Fnord666> So which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?
[01:14:16] <charon_> you can't fool me, it's a pound of salami
[01:14:43] <Fnord666> maybe a pound of bologna
[01:15:42] <Fnord666> funny thing is that the feathers are heavier
[01:16:08] <charon_> lies
[01:16:13] <Fnord666> Troy ounce is a traditional unit of gold weight. Troy weight is a system of units of mass customarily used for precious metals and gemstones. There are 12 troy ounces per troy pound, (373.24 g) rather than the 16 ounces per pound (453.59 g) found in the more common avoirdupois system.

[01:16:36] <exec> └─ 13Troy weight - Wikipedia
[01:17:02] <Fnord666> precious metals and gemstones uses a different scale
[01:17:04] <charon_> that's cheating. when you ask a question like that, it is implied that the units used are the same
[01:17:23] <Fnord666> of course it's cheating
[01:17:37] <Fnord666> just like the guy who was bear hunting
[01:17:50] <Fnord666> he left the camp, went one mile due east and found some tracks
[01:17:54] <charon_> are there more acre-feet in a hectare or or minims in a hogshead?
[01:18:01] <Fnord666> he followed them one mile due south before losing them
[01:18:25] <Deucalion> Fnord666, an imperial tonne is 1000Kg?? How is a Kg an imperial measure? Got a ref? My brain is goosed at the moment
[01:18:53] * Deucalion is currently grappling around in memory for difference between ton and tonne :/
[01:18:56] <charon_> i think that's the diff between a ton and a tonne
[01:19:06] <Fnord666> The British tonne (Listeni/tʌn/) (British and SI; SI symbol: t), which is the same as the metric ton in the United States, is a non-SI metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms;[1][2][3][4] or one megagram (Mg); it is equivalent to approximately 2,204.6 pounds,[
[01:19:13] <Fnord666> https://en.wikipedia.org
[01:19:16] <exec> └─ 13Tonne - Wikipedia
[01:19:17] <charon_> a ton is 2000lb, tonne is 1000kg
[01:19:43] <charon_> Fnord666: it's white
[01:19:54] <Deucalion> And a Kg is 2.2lbs - that much I recall....
[01:19:57] <Fnord666> Correct.
[01:20:10] <Fnord666> charon_ correct
[01:21:02] * Deucalion zones out to some soothing YT video. Need me, ping me otherwise see you guys on the flip.
[01:21:13] <Fnord666> later Deucalion
[01:21:20] <charon_> wotcha, Deucalion
[01:21:23] <Fnord666> enjoy the tunes
[01:22:46] <Deucalion> Let's Play vid in fact, but the guy does very soporific editing and music work. Good for wind down to mattress time ZZZzzzzz

[01:25:27] <Fnord666> really?

[01:30:07] <charon_> so, all of them?
[01:32:05] <Fnord666> pretty much, yes
[01:32:40] <chromas> I see one reviews
[01:32:56] <chromas> also the q&as are still there
[01:32:56] <Fnord666> and a couple of questions as well

[01:39:01] <chromas> Been awhile since I've seen H channel. I wonder if it's still sex-pun reality shows or if it's back to hitler and aliens
[01:39:53] <Fnord666> Good question. I haven't seen it either in a while.
[01:41:59] <charon_> i don't have cable, but i never knew it was ever anything besides the hitler channel.

[01:43:01] <nick> it was nice of them to wait until after Ban Ki-moon left his UN job before that
[01:43:30] <charon_> before the bribery or getting caught?
[01:43:44] <chromas> charon_: yeah, at some point it became people digging through each other's trash and selling it
[01:43:58] <Fnord666> nick - it was the polite thing to do
[01:45:00] <charon_> chromas: that's about as american as it gets
[01:45:48] <Fnord666> no kidding
[01:46:11] <chromas> with pun names like pawn stars and hardcore pawn. Several of the good channels got in on it. Sad, sad times
[01:46:31] * chromas downloads some pawnography
[01:46:57] <Fnord666> is that any worse though than WWE on SyFy?
[01:47:06] <charon_> are they the ones who do the crazy shows about dangerous jobs? ice road truckers and fishboat of doom?
[01:47:19] <Fnord666> that's discovery channel
[01:47:22] <charon_> ah
[01:47:28] <nick> "And what I wonder is, whether maybe pro wrestling is one of the most real things we have in our society and what’s really disturbing is that the other stuff is much more fake. " - Peter Thiel
[01:47:57] <charon_> ...
[01:48:23] <Fnord666> although the one they did on moonshiners was kind of funny
[01:48:26] <nick> WWE should be on Discovery...
[01:48:51] <Fnord666> at least SciFi has fiction in the name
[01:49:20] <charon_> i like syence fyction
[01:49:44] <Fnord666> to be fair they have also done some decent original programming in the last few years at the same time
[01:49:49] <chromas> History channel should have a series about the fall of those channels
[01:50:05] <Fnord666> Realtity Reality TV?
[01:50:37] <chromas> Historic documentaries
[01:50:38] <charon_> "Newton Minnow was right. The end."
[01:51:48] <Fnord666> I don't even know why we have TV in the house any more
[01:52:39] <charon_> i watch movies, and sometimes binge stuff on netflix. but i never watch TV anymore
[01:53:11] <nick> tv sucks
[01:53:17] <Fnord666> exactly
[01:53:56] <chromas> Think of all the crime dramas you're missing out on
[01:54:08] <Fnord666> oh lordy....
[01:54:24] <chromas> You don't want to putt all those psych majors out of work do you? Writing TV shows is the only jerb they could find
[01:54:38] <nick> I have not seen it, but on the 'reality tv' thing... the show 'unreal' is quite interesting
[01:54:51] <Fnord666> and telecommunications majors and art history majors ....
[01:54:55] <chromas> How do you know?
[01:55:32] <chromas> (about the show, I mean)
[01:55:45] <nick> i watched a review/analysis of it
[01:55:59] <Fnord666> the dreaded "I have not $verb-ed it yet but..."
[01:56:23] <Fnord666> What did they say about it?
[01:56:38] <nick> " It follows two female producers as they make a romance-themed reality show, highlighting the degree to which they’re willing to manipulate the contestants in order to produce ‘good TV’. The psychological and moral impact of this on the production crew – particularly the junior producer Rachel – is quite awful, and she rebounds between depression and megalomania as a result."
[01:56:51] <chromas> imdb says it's on lifetime
[01:57:07] <chromas> does that mean there's an abusive husband somewhere?
[01:57:35] <Fnord666> ah, one of those you can have these channels but you gotta take these others also channels.
[01:58:15] <Fnord666> although lifetime did film a movie here in my town. Tossed all kinds of cotton fluff around to make snow.
[01:58:18] <nick> "While she is so upset by what she has to do in this scene that she vomits, she is turned on by it. Later in the episode she says to Rachel that having her in her ear was ‘like a drug, or an orgasm’. While we’re expecting this to be really disturbing for Maddison this expectation is subverted. Maddison actually gets a perverse enjoyment out of being taught how to manipulate someone, like being taught how to do a magic trick. She represent
[01:58:19] <nick> s the neophyte who is inducted into the world of black magic and, while initially horrified, desperately wants to learn more. "
[01:59:15] <Fnord666> charon - what time is it on? I know you're looking it up right now.
[02:00:10] <Fnord666> Sounds like one of those ideas that has maybe one good season in it.
[02:00:42] <nick> agreed
[02:00:50] <Fnord666> After that they'll flog it till something better comes along
[02:01:05] <charon_> so it's a parody of the form, but also a member of it?
[02:01:07] <nick> i generally stop shows i do watch after 2-3 seasons
[02:01:10] <Fnord666> even though dead air would probably be more enjoyable
[02:01:42] <Fnord666> charon_ sounds like it. Very meta.
[02:02:43] <Fnord666> Could have some opportunity to break the fourth wall without actually breaking it....
[02:03:00] <nick> one of the creators was a producer on 'the bachelor' so i'm taking it as a commentary on that system, it seems to be quite honest about it
[02:03:11] <nick> but being a tv show itself, it is all very meta
[02:03:33] <chromas> If spike tv can have a decent show then I guess lifetime can too
[02:04:19] <chromas> But only one
[02:04:35] <Fnord666> which one are you referring to?
[02:04:51] <chromas> Something about ancient Egypt
[02:05:05] <chromas> imdb says it's called Tut but I thought it was different
[02:05:32] <Fnord666> and it was a seasonal show, not a mini-series?
[02:05:34] <nick> it's probably helped the show be true to the intentions being buried on lifetime
[02:05:52] <chromas> kinda like recent AMC and FX shows
[02:05:58] <nick> rather than say a flagship show on a major channel where there message might need to be refined to not undermine the reality shows on the same channel
[02:05:59] <charon_> did he have condo made of stone-a?

[02:45:33] <Runaway1956> All I know is, the military has to be brought back on track - it's not an experimentation field, whether social, psycho, or whatever
[02:46:36] <nick> i agree, but i can't see it happening. just a different brand of rhetoric
[02:47:15] <Runaway1956> among the things that can be dropped and forgotten, are sex change operations for soldiers - that is utter nonsense
[02:48:34] <nick> i'd say that's a fairly low priority all around, the money spent on that is going to be insignificant, maybe the cost of reloading an armed drone once.
[02:49:39] <Runaway1956> the cost isn't the issue - a soldier is out of service for weeks, or longer, for elective surgery that in no way promotes the mission of either himself or the military
[02:50:30] <nick> 'promoting the mission' ... i thought you didn't want the social/psycho elements
[02:50:51] <charon> i'm fine with that, Runaway1956. as long as it doesn't turn into: being trans is grounds for discharge, dishonorable or otherwise

[04:29:46] <chromas> Isn't it, though?
[04:30:09] <nick> The Guardian has reported the same thing as that Heat Street article apparently
[04:30:57] <takyon> well I just glanced at it but mostly that just relates to an investigation. which Comey didn't confirm when he was speaking to Congress 1-2 days ago (forgot when)
[04:31:04] <nick> 'The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus.'
[04:31:05] <takyon> so, investigation confirmed

[04:35:44] <takyon> well, there's a 13th or a 16th time for everything
[04:38:31] <nick> i look forward to a story in a few months time about how FISA is now rejecting more surveillance requests now than in history, taking a hard line against government spying on regular folk
[04:39:07] <charon> don't hold your breath on that

[06:11:21] <nick> for such an awesome guitar, i hate so many things about my les paul

[06:47:58] <jasassin> he could barely sing the shit he was out of breath
[06:48:02] <nick> jasassin, when i saw him solo it was 2001 ozzfest
[06:48:08] <nick> he had long breaks between his parts
[06:48:16] <nick> not quite as bad as when i saw James Brown support RHCP
[06:48:19] <SirFinkus> fucking dio killed it until the day he dropped dead
[06:48:30] <nick> he was on stage for maybe 10 minutes in an hour set
[06:48:45] <nick> but in fairness to James Brown, he died not long after
[06:48:47] <jasassin> yeah he's not in the shape to do that anymore
[06:49:19] <SirFinkus> https://www.youtube.com dio's voice is different in this, but it's still awesome

[06:51:15] <nick> never been a fan, but respect him for doing what he loved until he died
[06:51:35] <nick> that's another thing about sabbath, i really don't believe they're doing it for the music at the moment

[06:52:51] <SirFinkus> meh, I don't really give a shit, as long as it's good
[06:53:20] <SirFinkus> and any band will have that on tour
[06:53:30] <SirFinkus> playing live is pretty brutal
[06:53:33] <nick> when you don't have the passion and you're too old for that shit after the rock-n-roll lifestyle for decades... it ends up not being good
[06:53:47] <SirFinkus> there's going to be days where you're just going up there as a job
[06:53:57] <nick> when i saw sabbath it was the second show of the tour
[06:54:09] <nick> and they had almost a month off between that show and the first
[06:55:25] <nick> oh wow it was 2012 when i saw them
[06:55:42] <SirFinkus> it could be worse... https://www.youtube.com

[06:55:55] <nick> Just two weeks later on 17 February 2012, Black Sabbath reshuffled its reunion plans in light of Iommi's battle with lymphoma. The band confirmed that they planned to play only one show on their planned European tour – Download Festival, which took place on 10 June in England and was preceded by a warm-up show in Birmingham on 19 May 2012,[11] and then followed by a headlining slot at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, marking the band's onl
[06:55:55] <nick> y North American show of 2012.[12] To make up for the cancellation of the shows, Osbourne headed out on a 17-date tour as part of Ozzy and Friends, which featured special guests such as Slash, Zakk Wylde and Butler on select dates.[13]
[06:57:20] <SirFinkus> hey, but now I can say I play guitar better than chuck berry
[06:57:30] <nick> lol
[07:00:39] <nick> as you said, playing live is brutal and it is a profession you should quit when you're ahead
[07:01:34] <nick> but i also can understand the pressure some can be under to go out and tour when they are not really up to it
[07:02:08] <nick> sometimes that pressure can be from the tax man
[07:02:25] <SirFinkus> and that's all these people know for the most part
[07:02:33] <SirFinkus> it's their passion
[07:02:52] <SirFinkus> it's just a lot more public than a lot of other people's passions
[07:04:47] <nick> for sure, touring is definitely in some musicians blood
[07:06:08] <nick> devin townsend is one of those people, and he's also a true professional when performing.
