[00:12:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> happy evening, Bytram! are you going to go outside and try seeing uranus tonight?
[00:22:01] <Bytram> nah, I can see mine from right in my own home
[00:22:06] <Bytram> how out you?
[00:22:16] <Bytram> how about you?
[00:23:52] * Bytram is knackered... very BUSY day at work, but it all started as I got ready to head out the door and found there was no hot water. :( Was still out when I got home from work... finally got restored about an hour ago.
[00:24:30] <Bytram> being IN hot water is not good, but not having hot water is not good, too.

[10:44:00] <Bytram> I should have gone back to bed but the story queue is empty :(
[10:53:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, there's always boobies...
[10:53:40] <Bytram> not the sub queue, the story queue
[10:53:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, s'what i meant
[10:54:01] <Bytram> lol
[10:54:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> show the boobies!
[10:54:27] <Bytram> I am, but mine are really nothing much too look at.

[11:58:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> damnit. the rtc on this board has two alarms but no functions to access them in the rtc library.
[12:19:50] * TheMightyBuzzard really did not want to read chip datasheets and bang bits this morning
[12:20:31] <FatPhil> write high quality lib, release dual license as GPL and $$$$. Profit?
[12:25:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> something like that
[12:35:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> fuck it. i'm not playing with registers, bitmasks, and binary data while i've got a wicked nasty headache.
[12:40:47] * boru does that every day.
[12:47:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd need more practice to do it every day and i don't get headaches often enough.
[12:48:06] * Bytram offers boru some aspirin
[12:48:21] * Bytram offers ibuprofen to TheMightyBuzzard
[12:48:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> appreciated but i already downed 1300mg of tylenol
[12:49:36] <Bytram> beware for your kidneys
[12:49:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> think you mean liver
[12:50:06] <Bytram> yeah, that. some internal organ
[12:50:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> my organ hasn't been internal nearly often enough of late
[12:50:33] <Bytram> I have no idea why, but tylenol does *nothing* for me.
[12:50:43] <Bytram> groan
[12:51:06] * Bytram tried to goback to sleep but had no joy, so you lot are stuck with me instead.
[12:51:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> fair nuff
[12:52:00] <Bytram> what I could really go for would be about an hour in a jacuzzi with high powered jets to knock the knots out of my tired and achy muscles
[12:52:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> actually, i think i'll get the parts i don't have to bang bits for written now so i don't have to do them later.
[12:52:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> afterwards i'm declaring it national fuck-off day though
[12:53:11] <Bytram> sounds like a plan... could also write a stub for the alarm. maybe a spin loop for random() and then return/interrupt?
[12:53:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> I wish I could win the lottery so that every day could be national fuck-off day.

[15:00:03] <Sulla> Oh boy. Front page of local paper "ANTIFA: The Battle for Eugene" . Had no idea that Eugene, the town of anarchist vehicle torchers, was ever up for grabs
[15:00:23] <boru> Who is Eugene?
[15:05:19] <Bytram> boru: not 'who'... 'what'. I suspect that is "Eugene, Oregon"
[15:10:07] <boru> I was being facetious!
[15:10:24] <Sulla> I presume it is a well known town of anarchists and meth users
[15:10:58] <Bytram> boru: You're a fascist? Huh! Oh, facetious! ;)
[15:23:38] <FatPhil> Careful with that ax, Eugene
[15:42:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg... got a good start on expanding the library for my rtc to not be a gimped up little piece of shit but i'm not up to finishing it today.
[15:43:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> coffee n adderall are wearing off, so my attention span is as well.
[15:50:48] <Bytram> #weather TheMightyBuzzard
[15:50:49] <MrPlow> Today: Abundant sunshine. High 77F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow: Intervals of clouds and sunshine. High 79F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
[15:51:04] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: solution: no fooshing!
[15:51:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> fishing'd actually be a pretty good idea for today but so would lunch and a nap.
[15:52:16] <Bytram> why not do both?
[15:52:18] <Bytram> =)
[15:52:43] <Bytram> just tie a line from the pole to your belt, and it'll wake you when you've got a bite... otherwise, snooze away!
[15:52:59] <Bytram> might want to set anchor, first, of course.
[15:55:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> boat's not suited for laying down in.
[15:57:55] <Bytram> not even a seat that you could lean back in?
[15:59:30] <Sulla> My ban is almost over, dont know what im going to do with all those points. Had I used my +5 insightful post justifying my use of spam mod would it have been a good enough justification for being unbanned?
[15:59:38] <Sulla> I didnt out of principle, but wondered
[16:10:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> too many words. they all look the same

[16:12:36] <Bytram> that's better!
[16:12:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> \w would have matched as well
[16:13:06] <Bytram> apprecaite the hint

[19:58:29] <boru> The "I'm here because I'm angry at my shortcomings in life" crowd are equally moronic.
[20:00:09] <Sulla> I use the argument often of "right to associate is right to not associate" for why my kids are not required to be friends with every other kid if they dont want to
[20:00:18] <Sulla> Forced association, at any level, is bullshit.
[20:00:32] <boru> Indeed.
[20:00:36] <Sulla> If people choose a dumb reason to refuse association, that just makes them dumb
[20:02:41] <Sulla> Someone modded me troll or flamebait somewhere, I should run and make a journal post about bias
[20:02:59] <boru> Well, opions are like arseholes, and all that.
[20:03:03] <boru> Opinions, even.
[20:27:20] <pinchy> i watched a few mins of that richard spencer dude giving a speech and wasnt impressed. i dunno why people want to go hear him talk
[20:27:31] <pinchy> not much depth to what he says
[20:29:24] <pinchy> i wanna see a debate between ben shapiro and noam chompsky. ben says noams a terrible person but havent seen him explain why
[20:40:56] <boru> I'd like to see all political pundits thrown into a pit with weapons.
[21:00:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> not just weapons but exaggerated anime weapons. 40lb swords as wide as your waist with a hole in them and a pistol grip.
[21:02:26] <Sulla> Shapiro is interesting. He is usually pretty good at debate but when it was him vs the Turk he really only went for low hanging fruit.
