[23:49:59] <Deucalion> there are new shows? what planet is this?
[23:48:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> new shows that i haven't gotten around to watching this week
[23:47:28] <Deucalion> What you mean is - re-watching your favourite shows, which will now spectacularly disappoint you as they are not as funny as you remember and ultimately you'll doze off being all sourpuss, then be all cranky and ban everyone from everything in the morning, before reverting the bans once the first coffee hits.
[23:44:45] <Deucalion> somesuch...
[23:44:45] <Deucalion> Not a knack to bother perfecting, unless you can engross the reader for pages of course - in that case write a book and become a bazillionaire in some computer system somewhere until the nominal currency your bazzilion was in takes a nose dive unexpectedly due to the magic of...... ummm... I dunno international currency fluctuation.... some shit some bankers made up because they don't like being unable to skim every transaction ever.... or
[23:43:25] * TheMightyBuzzard settles on watching his backlog of tv shows
[23:41:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> the whole coding efficiency thing spills over into english for me
[23:40:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya. i have not the knack for novelization of minor changes.
[23:40:25] <Deucalion> Nice Meta - short and too the point
[23:38:40] * TheMightyBuzzard is particularly happy with the first paragraph of that post
[23:37:27] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Meta: Welcome New Trolls! - http://sylnt.us - we're-really-big-time-now
[23:37:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't think they're that particular.
[23:36:38] <Deucalion> Depends.... can you reason them round to a definition of "them"?
[23:35:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> they're not very useful though. they just keep saying "kill them. kill them all."
[23:35:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> the voices in my head
[23:34:51] <Deucalion> Who you debating with?
[23:33:45] * TheMightyBuzzard debates rebooting for some skyrim
[23:30:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> took a household poll. the roomie snored from the couch in response. so we're fucking off around the house instead tonight.
[23:25:38] <Deucalion> What's the alt anyway? Shit on TV? Knobbing about on here with me? I have no idea what is showing at the moment but I can't imagine either of those options is preferential. Could always get your game on I suppose if in the mood.
[23:23:50] <Deucalion> Don't forget to waste some money on the carbonated sugar drinks and pointless fodder that cost more than the movie ticket :D
[23:17:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight. fine. i'll go belt sand the stank off and throw some money away on a waste of a couple hours.
[23:16:39] <Deucalion> Go watch insipid movies
[23:16:11] <Deucalion> /iconoclast destroys the fucking mantle. Just who do you think you are mortal.
[23:15:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> flood lights i think
[23:15:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> they're gonna need some better lighting
[23:15:14] * TheMightyBuzzard makes room on his mantle for all the humility awards
[23:15:01] <Deucalion> arse sitting can be done at the movies... who knows you may find a good film to watch
[23:14:32] <Deucalion> shower n movie
[23:14:20] <Deucalion> You'd be the absolute humblest of the humble, the greatest humblest there has ever been - in your own estimation :P
[23:13:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... do i wanna get a shower n go to the movies or sit around on my arse?
[23:13:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can't get more humble than me. if there was an award for being humble, i'd win it every year.
[23:12:36] * Deucalion marvels at TMB being humble
[23:12:15] * TheMightyBuzzard nukes his own sub
[23:11:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, fnord already has it in queue under his name.
[23:11:12] <upstart> ^ 03Forget trigonometry, 'cos Babylonians did it better 3,700 years ago – by counting in base 60! • The Register
[23:11:12] <Deucalion> No - I saw it on elReg https://www.theregister.co.uk - skipped it thus far because I'm too noodled to make sense of base60 at this point in time... not enough braincells to read
[23:11:04] <chromas> "last week we were sued for $15 million by Shiva Ayyadurai, who claims to have invented email." herp

[23:10:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> did we already have it?
[23:10:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, looks like
[23:09:45] <Deucalion> the tablet
[23:09:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea what yer talkin about, boss man
[23:09:37] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his head
[23:09:27] <Deucalion> Is that the base60 thing TheMightyBuzzard ?
[23:09:25] <MrPlow> Submission successful. https://soylentnews.org
[23:09:22] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[23:09:06] <Deucalion> "Operation Choke Point" would probably class as "Extreme Porn" in the UK now.... just the words would be enough to get on the thought police list

[23:08:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> #submit https://www.rt.com
[23:07:18] <Deucalion> Puritans should practise their perversions in private and leave the rest of us out of their projected morality.
[23:06:51] <chromas> But hey, "Operation Choke Point" is kind of a topical name
[23:05:57] <chromas> Spank banked.
[23:05:27] <Deucalion> Something something porn stars were unbanked?
[23:04:12] * TheMightyBuzzard does the happy dance after reading that story

[23:03:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> #submit https://www.techdirt.com I was more annoyed by their use of it against gun stores but good riddance regardless.
[23:02:11] <Deucalion> I had to do it, 9hrs of driving, ~400 miles - just over an hour spent on client sites actually doing something productive. Focus had to be applied. Now my grating teeth regret it. Glad it's not my van or fuel - otherwise I may be ticked off at the utter incompetence of the whole thing :D
[22:49:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> NO. SUCH. THING.
[22:36:19] * Deucalion apologies for having consumed too many Starbucks today
[22:35:45] * Deucalion wonders what would happen if I sent them a cheque for negative £106.... if they banked it, it may cause a complete meltdown of retail banking systems worldwide!
[22:34:25] <Deucalion> My fucking kneecaps... the next is a letter from the management company that maintain my block.... advising me we ran a surplus on the previous accounting year, please find a credit note attached - along with a Remittance Slip asking for -£106 - yes asking for a negative amount, by cheque or bank transfer, then 10 pages about how if remittance is not made fees may be incurred... I fucking give up.
[22:28:24] <Deucalion> Oh well, keeps the loonies from doing any real damage I guess.
[22:28:03] <Deucalion> not just return the form having ticked the "no change" box.
[22:28:03] <Deucalion> Jeebus - been away a week and all and sundry bureaucratic wombles have defacated letters on my mat. The local council wants me to confirm I still live here, with a letter addressed to me at this address. If I fail to affirm I get fined £1000. A fine for not affirming that nothing changed..... surely they have something better to do. ~le sigh~ Of course, if someone else now lived here they would be put off by my name being on the letter and

[22:23:49] * Deucalion places a white feather in proximity to clorox

[18:52:43] <boru> Anyway, got to run and catch a flight. AFK for a bit.
[18:51:34] <boru> I've liked most of the Americans I've met.
[18:51:19] <boru> The US has a lot to offer to me, personally.
[18:51:04] <boru> Not all of it, no.
[18:50:06] <pinchy> so none of that stuff applys to where ur currently at?
[18:48:59] <pinchy> gun nut spotted!
[18:43:05] <boru> Work, atmospheric seeing, tornados, lax gun laws, cute accents, scenery.
[18:42:11] <pinchy> why do u want to goto the states for? whats so enticing about it?
[18:41:46] <boru> A green card, you silly billy.
[18:41:35] <pinchy> a garbage collector?
[18:00:30] <boru> Or, better yet, a GC.
[18:00:25] <boru> I agree with the latter part. USA should give me a H1B.

[14:03:53] <SoyGuest89314> if it makes the water glow, imagine what it does as it passes through the human body :)
[13:37:57] <boru> And you get groovy Cherenkov radiation.
[13:37:13] <boru> I think that, being in the cold war, they went with uranium/plutonium because it could be weaponised.
[13:36:49] <boru> The guy who prototyped the first reactor was really far before his time.
[13:34:46] <SoyGuest89314> I'm not that friendly with them
[13:34:39] <SoyGuest89314> meat?
[13:34:34] <SoyGuest89314> Every time I meat an anti-nuclear person, I ask "what was wrong with thorium-salt reactors?" and I *know* that I'll either get silence or a stream of irrelevant nonsense as a response.
[13:31:10] <boru> Plus it'd solve the thorium pollution problem in East Asia.
[13:30:50] <boru> Molten salt reactors are the future!
[13:30:32] <boru> I've been telling people for years to invest in thorium.
[13:30:20] <boru> Cool!
[13:24:23] <takyon> I put thorium salts in all my dishes
[13:21:32] <SoyGuest89314> don't melt down!
