[00:23:00] <AndyTheA1surd> oh good, my shit-tier "smart" watch should be here tomorrow.
[00:23:08] <AndyTheA1surd> I expect it to be laughably bad.
[00:24:01] <AndyTheA1surd> But I got for $21.40 including tax and shipping so I figure if it's as bad as expected, I'm not out too much money, and if it's even halfway decent, I got a good deal.
[00:24:32] <chromas> It'll be just like the P-p-p-powerbook
[00:37:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahhh, much better

[00:41:35] <chromas> How about changing "flamebait" to "inciteful"?
[00:41:53] <chromas> In fact, all the downmods should be homophones of the upmods.
[00:43:14] <chromas> Insightful, Inciteful; Touché, Douché; Funny, Dummy
[00:43:19] * chromas can't think of any others though

[01:38:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya know, Nena's still kinda hot. not Joan Jett hot but i'd throw her some dick. https://www.youtube.com

[01:49:37] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: yes, it IS friends/foes/fans/freaks stuff
[02:06:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup. i lurve me some Nena. her voice makes my britches tighter.
[02:07:14] <chromas> Just watch it at 150% speed
[02:08:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd just end up with a chipmunk fetish then
[02:08:28] <chromas> Nothin' wrong with that
[02:08:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> is so, the chippettes weren't on that many episodes
[02:09:53] <chromas> Also, pitch-preserving speed filter's been a thing for decades
[02:10:10] * chromas puts an fft in tmb's vlc
[02:10:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> so has autotune, doesn't mean i want it anywhere near my music

[02:16:08] <chromas> Do you think an irc client could be made by linking some vba macros in a spreadsheet into a systemd socket-activation unit?
[02:17:00] <Bytram> nope, but I would not be surprised if I were to be proved wrong
[02:17:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> sounds like an absurdly complicated hack. you should do it.
[02:17:31] * chromas doesn't have Excel
[02:18:09] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Shhh... that's what I said, but I was not so obvious about my attempt to cajole him into doing it
[02:18:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> use libreoffice
[02:18:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh i think it'd be hilarious. well worth a site story.
[02:18:55] <Bytram> chromas: I think you forgot a couple layers of VMs and some software-defined networking
[02:19:21] * Bytram would gladly revirew/post such a story
[02:19:23] <chromas> Ooh, LibreOffice has LibreOffice Basic and something called BeanShell. Is that racist?
[02:19:50] <Bytram> what, BeansHell?? that's where they send the *bad* beans
[02:19:58] <chromas> Bytram: Good point. Need the vm or wine to get Excel running. Or Powerpoint! Everything can be done in powerpoint, right?
[02:20:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's not racis. it's mexicans being empowered.
[02:20:32] <Bytram> i have no idea... so far have only viewed 'em... never made one
[02:21:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> but yeah, i think you should use wine to get excell running.

[14:21:13] <Bytram> likewise
[14:22:15] <pinchy> now that nobody watches broadcast TV who gives a flying plop
[14:24:02] <fyngyrz> Broadcast TV is now HD digital around here (and we're rural as heck.)
[14:24:23] <fyngyrz> But the answer is, there are still a heck of a lot of NTSC cameras out there, cheap and easy
[14:28:02] <fyngyrz> Also, it's very easy to shovel NTSC over an RF channel, so remoting those cameras is cheaper/easier as well.
[14:29:16] <fyngyrz> We're just now getting into the zone where HD cameras are reasonably priced. You can get an analog HD camera for about $50 US now; I consider that "right in there." I have 16 of them. :)
