[00:10:54] <Bytram> Tangong-1; time to re-entry: 0.35 hours
[00:13:56] <boru> Out of interest, what lat/long does that put re-entry at?
[00:14:21] <Bytram> http://www.aerospace.org
[00:14:46] <Bytram> is a .png image -- faster for you to load and read than for me to try and type accurately
[00:15:20] <Bytram> just west of the southern-most tip of South America
[00:15:24] <boru> Not bad, not too far from pencil and paper prediction.
[00:15:31] <Bytram> =)
[00:17:17] <Bytram> they are predicting only about 15 more minutes to go... give or take
[00:18:50] <boru> I wonder if I can get some ADSB cross references; airliners usually luck out to get optics on reentries.
[00:19:13] <boru> Our last orbital catastrophy was recorded by one.
[00:19:41] <boru> The joys at being at the mercy of launch providers...
[00:19:57] <boru> The cause of that one was pretty absurd.
[00:20:09] <boru> Feckin' Russians...
[00:21:18] * Bytram wonders what kinds of behind-the-scenes 'discussions' that probably brought about!
[00:28:29] <Bytram> ~time x
[00:28:30] <exec> Monday, 2 April 2018 @ 12:28 am UTC - Coordinated Universal Time
[00:29:07] <Bytram> current altitude is about 120 km; reentry predicted Real Soon Now
[00:30:52] <Bytram> at this rate, I would not be surprised to see it reenter over the eastern Mediterranean sea
[00:37:21] <boru> I'm far outside the ground path; I don't mind.
[00:37:32] * Bytram chuckles
[00:37:57] * Bytram wonders what kind of impact (heh!) a re-entry near the Middle East might have on the pre-existing tensions there
[00:38:59] <boru> Heh, EFNet's April 1st gag.
[00:39:46] <boru> Here's hoping for jerusalem...
[00:42:09] <Bytram> happy easter egg?
[00:43:08] <Bytram> well, that was a surprise... since the estimated time of impact has arrived, they no longer update current data for Tiangong-1 at: http://www.aerospace.org
[00:43:33] <chromas> What? EFNet is fake news?
[00:44:02] * chromas splits sn net
[00:44:33] <boru> I'd share, but all of the pastesites I use are giving me 500's.
[00:44:50] <Bytram> 3-2-1...impact!
[00:46:31] <Fnord666> so did it bounce?
[00:46:41] * boru raises glass to tiangong-1.
[00:46:58] <boru> Hopefully tiangong-2 will fare better.
[00:47:12] <Bytram> nah, I was making (an obviously bad) joke about boru's inability to find a pastesite with the upcoming orbital situation for Tiangong-1
[00:47:35] <boru> Indeed. For shame.
[00:47:42] <chromas> The CIA got to his computer
[00:48:00] <boru> Sharing text on the 'Net is passé, I guess.
[00:48:15] * Bytram is now trying: http://www.satflare.com
[00:48:44] <Fnord666> gotta love time/altitude graphs that don’t provide a reference for the time
[00:48:45] <boru> At least we'll probably see tiangong-2 before JWST.
[00:49:09] <boru> Pft, you can do the maths yourself.
[00:49:20] <chromas> Those gradients are scary
[00:49:39] <Fnord666> and evening all!
[00:49:51] <chromas> g'day
[00:50:09] <Bytram> no joy... wants me to enable javascript loading from more sites than I feel comfortable with
[00:50:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> I'M HOME!!!
[00:50:22] * TheMightyBuzzard hates children
[00:50:29] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Hi Honey! Welcome back!
[00:50:30] <chromas> See, if you were using Firefox, you could open the page in a container tab
[00:50:38] <boru> TMB; it just takes the right preparation/sauce.
[00:50:41] <chromas> Now get to work, mister!
[00:50:59] * chromas whips the crack
[00:51:11] <Fnord666> kinky
[00:51:18] <boru> Get a room, lovebirds.
[00:51:23] * Bytram is using pale moon... but even if things are all buttoned up over here, still leaves breadcrumbs (e.g. IP addy) at all the other sites that are involed
[00:51:43] <Fnord666> TMB - catch anything?
[00:51:51] <chromas> You're staff. Use sn as your personal proxy :D
[00:51:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, some. nothin worth braggin about though.
[00:52:06] * Bytram rumages around for some antibiotics... just in case.
[00:52:21] <chromas> You can exaggerate. We won't know
[00:52:31] <boru> So long as there's eating in it, it's a good catchy.
[00:52:42] <boru> Minus superfluous 'y'.
[00:52:48] <Fnord666> satflare is apparently bogged down anyway
[00:52:51] <Bytram> this looks more promising: https://www.karhukoti.com
[00:52:53] <chromas> Catché
[00:53:28] <Fnord666> Bytram: at least the picture is moving
[00:53:52] * Bytram needs to enable another domain or two, I guess
[00:54:47] <Bytram> aha! *there* it is!
[00:54:47] <boru> If you've got a good ephemeris source, use gpredict.
[00:55:02] * Bytram does not have such a resource
[00:59:10] <boru> You can probably pull whatever those sites are using.
[00:59:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, i like showin fish pr0n though
[00:59:45] <boru> I'd imagine celestrak is keeping it pretty up to date.
[00:59:56] <Bytram> interesting... the elevation / height for Tiangong-1 has been inching up -- is currently at 133.4 km (have seen it as low as 120 km on a different site)
[01:00:11] <boru> Yeah, slightly eccentric orbit. It's common.
[01:00:25] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:00:28] <boru> It's a wave.
[01:00:42] * Bytram waves back
[01:00:50] <boru> It'll oscillate asymtotically.
[01:01:28] <Fnord666> TMB takes noodling to a whole new level
[01:01:31] * Bytram tries to oscillate with an ocelot - decides dancing is not quite his thing
[01:01:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> Fnord666++
[01:01:48] <Bender> karma - fnord666: 14
[01:01:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> good one
[01:02:05] <Fnord666> :)
[01:02:05] <Bytram> so... that's using your noodle?
[01:02:21] <Bytram> brb
[01:02:26] <Fnord666> dishes?
[01:02:40] <boru> There are better pastatimes.
[01:11:21] <Fnord666> boru: reading the backscroll and re Childhood’s End
[01:11:23] <Fnord666> The Syfy Channel produced a three-part, four-hour television mini-series of Childhood's End, which was broadcast on December 14–16, 2015.
[01:11:38] <Fnord666> https://en.wikipedia.org(miniseries)
[01:11:39] <upstart> ^ 03Childhood's End ( - Wikipedia
[01:11:54] <boru> Oh, it must've been so bad that I erased that from my mind.
[01:14:55] <boru> The scifi channel just got worse and worse since the rebrand.
[01:17:15] <Bytram> Tiangong-1 is now over China, elevation of about 137.5 km, and heading for Beijing
[01:17:27] <boru> That's pretty low.
[01:17:38] <boru> Almost SNU.
[01:17:43] <Fnord666> it was reporting at 132km earlier
[01:17:56] <boru> Yeah, that's orbital eccentricity.
[01:18:11] <boru> The peaks are telling.
[01:18:17] <Bytram> 20 minutes ago, it was at 133.4 km
[01:18:23] <Fnord666> I’ll take orbital eccentricity for $800 Alex
[01:19:00] <boru> Like all orbits, it's not spheric.
[01:19:06] <Fnord666> do we know what the eccentricity period is?
[01:19:17] <Bytram> nope, looks like it is curving south of Beijing... may pass over the southern-most point of Japan
[01:19:18] <boru> It'll be asymptotic, currently.
[01:19:43] <boru> Nadir on a geoid is not uniform, naturally.
[01:19:58] <boru> Earth being a geoid...
[01:20:00] <Fnord666> naturally. :)
[01:20:23] <Fnord666> so you crack it open and there are crystals inside?
[01:20:31] <Bytram> and if it were the moon... would that make it a... lunoid?
[01:20:41] <boru> Quite.
[01:20:59] <Fnord666> and if it were a car it would be a metroid
[01:21:10] <Bytram> *groan*
[01:21:19] * boru chuckles.
[01:21:20] <Bytram> still climbing... 138.1 km
[01:21:44] <boru> Aye.
[01:21:58] <boru> Expect decreasing eccentricity.
[01:22:10] <Bytram> just passed east of the Chinese mainland
[01:24:03] <Bytram> just inched up to 138.4 km
[01:24:18] <Fnord666> but is Earth’s atmosphere a geoid or is an ellipsoid sufficient for modeling atmosphereic drag?
[01:24:19] <Bytram> inched? hmm... metered?
[01:24:43] <Fnord666> don’t be mixing your standard there..
[01:24:52] <boru> The atmosphere doesn't have that attribute, per se.
[01:25:09] <boru> The surface itself, does, geometrically.
[01:25:20] <boru> Gravitationally, it's something else.
[01:25:30] <Bytram> prolly depends more on localized heating for expansion / shrinkage of the upper atmosphere -- solar wind and the like can have an effect, too
[01:26:29] <boru> Less than you might think; density starts to vary more dramatically in the stratosphere and mostly in the troposhere.
[01:26:50] <boru> Where it's most dense.
[01:26:54] <Bytram> huh!
[01:27:29] <boru> The atmosphere is pretty thin in the mesosphere upwards.
[01:27:39] <Bytram> was pretty sure I'd read somewhere that solar wind can cause the atmosphere to 'grow' by something like 20/30 km
[01:28:03] * Bytram is likely a bit mistaken in his recollection -- was quite a while ago
[01:28:15] <boru> Oh, it does. The heliopause gives Earth something of a relatively severe coma.
[01:28:32] <Bytram> about to pass over Guam... 138.5 km
[01:28:44] <Bytram> here are some more: , , , , ,
[01:29:01] * Fnord666 groans
[01:29:05] <boru> It'd be pretty neat if it dropped down in the challenger deep.
[01:29:10] <Bytram> !woop
[01:29:10] <Bender> woop woop woop (\/) (;,,;) (\/)
[01:29:16] <boru> Yeah, that was terrible. Sorry man...
[01:29:25] <Bytram> mission accomplished!
[01:29:36] <Bytram> aha! back down to 138.4 km
[01:29:39] * boru chuckles
[01:29:58] <boru> It'll be an ever dimishing wave.
[01:30:00] <Bytram> I give it about 40 minutes until re-entry
[01:30:46] <Fnord666> is that the over/under?
[01:30:56] <Bytram> make it 45 minutes
[01:30:59] <Bytram> ~time x
[01:31:00] <exec> Monday, 2 April 2018 @ 1:31 am UTC - Coordinated Universal Time
[01:31:22] <Bytram> My guess: 02:15 UTC
[01:32:18] <boru> Pft, our ops guys are dealing with prod escalations, how inconsiderate.
[01:32:20] <Fnord666> boru: would you elaborate a bit on the heiopause comment? I thought the heliopause was at the edge of our solar system
[01:33:09] <boru> Not much to elaborate on; the point I was making was the extent to which motion effects gaseous density.
[01:33:22] <boru> Right out to that extent, rather.
[01:34:04] <Fnord666> Ah, ok
[01:34:05] <boru> I'm full of whiskey, so it might have seemed non-sequitur.
[01:34:24] * boru off the clock.
[01:36:12] <Bytram> #g beat the clock
[01:36:12] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "Beat the Clock is a Goodson-Todman game show that aired on American television in several versions from 1950 to 2003, and then again starting from 2018 on Universal Kids. The original show, hosted by Bud Collyer, ran on CBS from 1950 to 1958 and on ABC from 1958 to 1961. The show was revived in syndication as ..."

[01:41:25] -!- Ethanol-fueled [Ethanol-fueled!~ae4448bf@SectorZeroZeroOne] has joined #soylent
[01:41:37] <Ethanol-fueled> any negroes coded in Labwindows CVI before?
[01:42:22] <boru> Sounds awful.
[01:45:39] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[01:45:39] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into TheMightyBuzzard's gaping mouth
[01:48:47] <boru> Heh, just by the name, I assumed it were an NI product.
[01:49:00] <boru> I've had the unfortunate experience to have to work with labview...
[01:49:53] <Bytram> Tiangong-1 height is now down to: 134.2 km
[01:50:42] <boru> You're chasing hysteresis!
[01:51:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, shouldn't have washed it in hot then. i hate it when i shrink jeans like that.
[01:51:34] <Ethanol-fueled> Bytram, what's the latest estimated impact point?
[01:51:42] <Ethanol-fueled> Last I checked it was off the coast of Chile
[01:51:59] <Ethanol-fueled> Sup boru, buzzard, marty
[01:52:07] <Ethanol-fueled> I just re upped my subscription for 180 days
[01:52:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> sup, yo
[01:52:16] <Bytram> that was where I had seen, but then when *their* predicted time came and went, they stopped updating their site. :(
[01:52:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> you just wanted the verified check
[01:52:53] <Ethanol-fueled> buzzard, I wanted to admire myself by reading my comment history while drunk
[01:52:57] <Bytram> Ethanol-fueled: Here's the page I am following now: https://www.karhukoti.com
[01:52:59] <Ethanol-fueled> the verified check is a nice touch though
[01:53:07] <Bytram> may have to allow Javascript on a couple domains for it to work
[01:53:14] <Ethanol-fueled> boru, yeah, it's coding labview in C
[01:53:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> fair nuff
[01:53:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, takyon's 4/1 idea. i dug it on account of it was easy as shit to do.
[01:53:36] <Ethanol-fueled> God, what a bitch. Even with better libraries string stuff is a bitch in C
[01:53:39] <boru> Evening, EF.
[01:54:10] <boru> The labview API is a bit funky, but it beats their silly GUI-thing.
[01:54:13] <Bytram> Tiangong-1 height is now 132.9 km and contining to drop
[01:55:01] <Bytram> trajectory seems to be towards the southern end of South America
[01:55:10] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, what I do like is that it auto-includes when you use an unincluded library function
[01:55:21] <Ethanol-fueled> (@ boru)
[01:55:41] <Fnord666> EF - interesting. Can you use Boost?
[01:55:51] <Ethanol-fueled> Bytram, i hope to hell somebody gets the station burning up on video
[01:55:59] <Bytram> what happens when the function exists in more than one library
[01:56:01] <Ethanol-fueled> (or maybe it's an eleborate april fools' joke?)
[01:56:30] <Ethanol-fueled> fnord, I don't know
[01:56:33] <Fnord666> k
[01:56:40] <Bytram> Ethanol-fueled: would like to see that, too but the odds are very much against that happening
[01:56:58] <Ethanol-fueled> fnord, looks like a resounding "hell no"
[01:57:13] <Ethanol-fueled> my experience thus far has been like a more complicated version of the arduino IDE
[01:57:14] <Fnord666> Bytram: typically the include is pulled from the first library in the directory list
[01:57:26] <Ethanol-fueled> But still limited as fuck in a lot of ways.
[01:57:32] <Bytram> ahh, like following one's PATH en var
[01:57:41] <Fnord666> correct
[01:58:16] <Ethanol-fueled> WOrk has offered me some advancement if I can write a library to plug into a database. Relatively easy shit.
[01:58:29] <Ethanol-fueled> I'd also have to design the database, which I can do.
[01:58:30] * Bytram remembers trying to do programming on a VM/370 IBM mainframe system... there was no way to specify a path like that
[01:58:49] <Fnord666> sure there is
[01:59:10] <Ethanol-fueled> bytram, are those the ones with the hamster wheels in them?
[01:59:26] <Fnord666> it’s just a series of DSN declarations in your JCL
[01:59:52] <boru> It's only really been writing some DLLs to interface with hardware that I have experience. Our lab boffins were the labview guys.
[01:59:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> shut down the 4/1 joke or wait until tomorrow morning ya think?
[02:00:17] <Bytram> Fnord666: when I was working there, there most definitely was not. This was about the days of VM/CMS SP 3.0
[02:00:18] <Ethanol-fueled> buzzard, you may want to wait an extra day or two
[02:00:21] <Fnord666> Ethanol-fueled: Too bad re Boost. It has some decent string handling
[02:00:37] <Ethanol-fueled> "regular" folks are out having family fun or at chuch for easter, and may not have seen it yet
[02:00:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> day or two? wtf?!
[02:00:45] <Ethanol-fueled> fnord, boost fucking rocks.
[02:00:48] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: wait for tomorrow... is still 4/1 here in eastern USA and there's still 5 more hours for the west coast
[02:01:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> what makes you think we got any "regular" folks around here?
[02:01:07] <Bytram> never mind Hawai'i
[02:01:21] <Ethanol-fueled> !grab TheMightyBuzzard
[02:01:21] <Bender> Added quote 863
[02:01:58] <Ethanol-fueled> Well Buzzard, recent discussions have suggested that some eat at McDonald's, which makes people regular and then some.
[02:02:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, i shoot a roost pretty much every morning after a cigarette and a cup of coffee but who knows what evil lurks within the bowels of the rest of you lot?
[02:02:23] <Fnord666> Bytram: got it. That was a whole different can of worms
[02:02:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, yall could have eaten TACO BELL FFS
[02:02:50] <Fnord666> or . . . White Castle!
[02:03:05] <Ethanol-fueled> fnord, labview cvi has some string handling stuff but for the most part you're still using shit like strcpy() and sprintf() a lot
[02:03:38] <Ethanol-fueled> Yecch, White Castle
[02:03:46] <Fnord666> oh dear. The source of buffer overflows for decades
[02:03:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> friend of mine once ate taco bell for every meal for a week in college then came to gaming night and we had to evacuate the room for a half hour. it was still there even then but we emptied a can of air freshener and it finally gave up the ghost.
[02:04:05] <Bytram> well, only so long as counting is a problem.
[02:04:42] <Ethanol-fueled> hahaha buzzard
[02:04:51] <Ethanol-fueled> the ol' taco smell
[02:05:06] <Fnord666> There’s that whole “we’ll null terminate that string for you unless you didn’t leave enough room", in which case your next operation will have a problem.
[02:05:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> most epic fart i have ever smelt. swear on my hairy beanbag.

[02:05:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> most likely
[02:05:46] <chromas> g'day

[02:06:10] <Bytram> Taingong-1 has now reached the western coast of South America, passing just north of Santiago - height 130.1 km
[02:07:00] <Ethanol-fueled> Holy shit bytram that fucker's moving fast
[02:07:26] <Bytram> ~gnight TheMightyBuzzard
[02:07:28] * exec single-handedly hurls a cc of cheddar at TheMightyBuzzard
[02:07:36] <Bytram> Cheese!
[02:07:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep, off i fuck
[02:08:02] <Ethanol-fueled> later buzzard
[02:08:12] <Fnord666> good night TMB
[02:08:29] <Ethanol-fueled> It's gonna crash into Brazil!
[02:08:30] <Bytram> Ethanol-fueled: one orbit only takes it 87.5 minuntes
[02:08:35] <Bytram> minutes even
[02:08:46] * TheMightyBuzzard undoes the mod bomb on EF before he fully splits
[02:08:48] <Fnord666> EF - Taiangong-1 orbital period is 1.5 hours
[02:08:54] <Ethanol-fueled> Thanks buzzard
[02:09:04] <Ethanol-fueled> but I really don't care as long as I can still post
[02:09:11] <Fnord666> lol ninja’d
[02:09:58] <Bytram> hmm? Maybe the site I am following does not know it's over? or did c|net jump the gun?
[02:09:59] <Bytram> https://www.cnet.com
[02:09:59] <upstart> ^ 03Chinese Tiangong-1 space station burns up over Pacific Ocean - CNET
[02:10:15] <Fnord666> So CNET claims it burned up already?
[02:10:32] <Bytram> well, not just them: https://twitter.com
[02:10:33] <upstart> ^ 0318 SPCS on Twitter: "UPDATE: #JFSCC confirmed #Tiangong1 reentered the atmosphere over the southern Pacific Ocean at ~5:16 p.m. (PST) April 1. For details see https://t.co @US_Stratcom @usairforce @AFSpaceCC @30thSpaceWing @PeteAFB @SpaceTrackOrg… https://t.co"
[02:11:01] <fyngyrz> those sat tracking places generally just use the orbital elements to predict an orbit. They aren't using radar to actually watch the thing or anything like that
[02:11:14] <Ethanol-fueled> Ah, makes sense fyngyrs
[02:11:18] <Bytram> fyngyrz: yep, sure looks like it
[02:11:28] <Fnord666> 5:16 pm PT
[02:11:32] <Ethanol-fueled> Good night, Ching-Chang Noodle Palace
[02:11:32] <Fnord666> apparently
[02:11:45] <fyngyrz> For objects like the station that are in contact with the atmosphere, the elements need to be updated regularly, as they make the orbit decay
[02:12:05] <Fnord666> then again they called it PST but they should be on PDT
[02:12:09] <fyngyrz> unless attitude controls are used to correct it... but generally, once velocity is scrubbed off, things are going downhill

[02:22:19] <Ethanol-fueled> what language boru?
[02:22:25] <boru> I've got a bottle of Redbreast 12, cask strength.
[02:22:27] <boru> Gaeilge.
[02:22:37] <boru> Irish.
[02:22:42] <Ethanol-fueled> Nice
[02:23:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Allright, fellas, gonna bail
[02:23:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Been a pleashua

[02:24:00] -!- Ethanol-fueled has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[02:28:27] <Fnord666> boru - How is Redbreast 12?
[02:28:58] <boru> Smashing.
[02:29:34] <boru> If you're going to spend the cabbage, I'd recommend the cask strength. Probably my favourite bottle.
[02:30:05] <boru> Somewhere between the Yellow Spot and the Teeling port finish, at the moment.
[02:33:05] <Fnord666> That’s a serious abv
[02:33:49] <boru> Big on taste, though.
[02:37:18] <Fnord666> I wonder where to find it in the US
[02:41:16] <boru> The folks I know stateside have found it in their locals.
[02:41:46] <boru> I can make other recommendations, if you're looking to drink Irish.
[02:44:47] <Fnord666> If you have a couple of other recommendations, I’m all ears
[02:45:10] <boru> Typically, I tend to go for single pot stills, and single malts.
[02:47:50] <boru> At the moment, SPS-wise, I'd recommend the Redbreast 12 and Yellow Spot. Single Malt wise, then the Teeling Brabzon fill, Bushmills 16. The latter is a bit spendy, given the shortage. Daily drinker wise, in terms of blends, steer clear of Jameson other than Black Barrel; Bushmills Black Bush does alright as well.
[02:48:45] <Fnord666> thanks.
[02:48:55] <boru> Generally, SPS is as Irish as it gets. Method and Madness have a very interesting SPS with a bit of bite; finished in French Chestnut, which is a bit peculiar, but nice nonetheless.
[02:50:20] <Fnord666> Are sherry casks more typical?
[02:50:53] <boru> They're common, but a bit too sweet for me.
[02:51:00] <boru> Port finish is more my speed.
[02:57:22] <Fnord666> Interesting. video I was watching seemed to say that Redbreast has a sherry finish
[02:57:50] <boru> There are sherry finishes, indeed.
[02:58:07] <boru> In fact, their flagship bottle is a sherry finish, and an exemplary one.
[02:58:16] <boru> It's 180GBP a bottle, though.
[02:58:30] <boru> So, a bit spendy for anything other than a special occasion.
[02:58:40] <boru> '99 bottle.
[02:58:52] <Fnord666> that’s a lot of cheese
[02:58:57] <boru> Aye, it is.
[02:59:17] <boru> I pick up a bottle or two now and then, but hardly a regular.
[02:59:26] <Fnord666> I’m not sure my nose and palate are worthy
[03:00:12] <boru> You know, I'll say what I say to most people unfamiliar with Irish whiskey; there's a lot of cheap bad whiskey out there, and it's they're not the type to get accquainted with.
[03:00:54] <boru> Most folks who 'hated' whiskey tried a few decent ones, and rekindled a like of them.
[03:00:56] <Fnord666> and that’s why recommendations are even more appreciated
[03:01:25] <boru> Well, I'm more than happy to shoot the breeze about it always.
[03:01:50] <Fnord666> What happened to Jamesons?
[03:02:15] <boru> To be honest, I don't think it was ever that good.
[03:02:38] <boru> Their 18, for example; a very smooth and easy to drink whiskey, but there's nothing that really stands out about it.
[03:02:52] <boru> It's fairly standard.
[03:02:56] <Fnord666> I wondered if that was the case or if some event occurred.
[03:03:13] <boru> Well, that's subject to debate.
[03:03:29] <boru> Jameson's is a pub whiskey.
[03:03:51] <boru> Their bog standard bottle is produced for mixing.
[03:03:55] <boru> Not drinking neat.
[03:04:44] <Fnord666> Now do you add any water at all?
[03:04:45] <boru> I'd say that their Black Barrel is somewhat of an approximation of what standard green bottle Jameson's used to be, say, >30 odd years ago.
[03:04:55] <boru> No, always straight for me, personally.
[03:05:00] <boru> No ice, no water.
[03:05:10] <Fnord666> thanks.
[03:05:24] <Fnord666> Saw reviews going both ways for Redbreast
[03:05:43] <boru> Aye, I think that Scotch drinkers try Redbreast expecting Scotch.
[03:06:01] <boru> Speysides are probably the closest to Irish.
[03:06:02] <Fnord666> ah
[03:06:16] <boru> And for highland and Islay drinkers, it's chalk and cheese.
[03:06:21] <boru> SPS is a different beast.
[03:07:06] <boru> I'll drink a highland, but the heavily peated stuff is awful, imho.
[03:08:23] <boru> Highland Scotch reminds me of poitín, which is Irish shine.
[03:08:29] <boru> Medicinal.
[03:08:48] <boru> Something you'd drink if you had a dose in the post, so to speakj.
[03:08:54] <boru> Speak, even.
[03:09:12] <Fnord666> Wasn’t Scotch sort of born from combining shine with highland malts?
[03:09:25] <boru> Funny story, that.
[03:09:35] <Fnord666> oh?
[03:09:37] <boru> You've heard of the term 'blind drunk'?
[03:09:42] <Fnord666> yep
[03:10:00] <boru> That's because the Scots weren't burning off the methanol, and literally going blind from drinking it.
[03:10:37] <Fnord666> yeah, you always poured off the head and the tail when moonshining
[03:10:54] <boru> Like most things, the Scots were taking off our ideas, and doing them half-arsed.
[03:11:01] <Fnord666> lol
[03:11:29] <boru> Long story short, Speys are an easy drink, but the more oaky whiskeys are an acquired taste.
[03:11:35] <boru> IME, that is.
[03:11:58] <boru> Many a Scotsman will disagree with me, but I'm alright with that; different strokes for different folks, and all that.
[03:12:38] <Fnord666> absolutely
[03:12:56] <boru> I suppse you'd say our poitín is a bit like what you call white dog over on your side of the pond.
[03:13:14] <boru> Usually coming in around >80%.
[03:13:24] <boru> Or 160 proof.
[03:13:45] <Fnord666> thereabouts, yes
[03:13:48] <boru> Aye.

[03:15:10] <boru> Aye, I think the sweet spot for poitín is around 80%. You can still taste it.
[03:15:29] <Fnord666> yeah, everclear is extreme

[12:18:22] <fyngyrz> What I'll probably end up do9ing is moving the security and "other" machine monitors to the edge where I have to turn, and then put the new monitors where they are now
[12:18:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> well you could add one more if you got another desk, moved the boring monitors to it, went down to home depot and hired an illegal to watch them for you.
[12:19:05] <fyngyrz> Right now, the security monitor is right where I can see any motion on it easily, though, and I like that, if for no other reason than I can see UPS and FedEx when they show up
[12:19:37] <fyngyrz> Maybe get a small monitor for that one... I guess I don't really need a huge one
[12:19:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, script that so it pops up on another monitor when there's motion

[12:23:18] <fyngyrz> theyr're all high rate / high resolution
[12:24:09] <fyngyrz> also, I work hard to keep the RFI down; analog HD cameras are much, much quieter than digital HD cameras
[12:24:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> not if ya transcode it to lower res/framerate before streaming. i mean you can still get the HD stream directly from the unit but for constant use it's not necessary.
[12:24:54] <fyngyrz> yeah, actually, it is
[12:25:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya reckon?
[12:25:25] <fyngyrz> These cameras cover large areas; when there's vandalism, etc., I have to be able to resolve what's going on, or it's useless
[12:26:01] <fyngyrz> yes, quite certain. We used to use standard video: then we had a problem, and we couldn't get enough detail to ID the perps
[12:26:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> right. you see "something going on, let's pull up the HD stream"
[12:26:52] <fyngyrz> inevitably, its not live - it's the recording we have to depend upon. All I ever see live are cats and delivery people
[12:27:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> right. s'why i prefer low-res/rate for live and higher for archival purposes
[12:27:36] <fyngyrz> the cops just look at you funny when you show them a blur
[12:27:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> save the HD and stream the lower version
[12:28:00] <fyngyrz> well, with this system, live is always high res, and record is what you set it to
[12:28:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[12:28:39] <fyngyrz> which is also high res. Means we only get a couple weeks record time, but it's enough to catch the malfuckers as long as we pay attention
[12:28:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> worked with those before. not my preference.
[12:29:17] <fyngyrz> it is what it is
[12:29:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup.

[12:30:03] <fyngyrz> can't be loading up the wifi with all that data, and ethernet is too damned RF-noisy
[12:30:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> shielded conduit
[12:30:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> well really just grounded conduit but you know what i mean
[12:31:18] <fyngyrz> cost is outrageous - we have a large physical plant, about 6000 sq ft. Analog cables are cheap and do the job well
[12:31:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[12:31:49] <fyngyrz> they
[12:31:51] <fyngyrz> er
[12:32:19] <fyngyrz> they're also easy to conceal. The SO has some input on just how crazy I can get with pipes hanging on the walls :)
[12:32:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> mean dogs are cheap too. and if you get one of each flavor you get even more dogs.
[12:32:33] <fyngyrz> or IOW, "no"
[12:32:45] <fyngyrz> my cats would eat them
[12:33:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh, yeah, that could be a problem. and getting cats to do anything they don't want to do is an exercise in futility.
[12:33:41] <fyngyrz> dogs have owners. cats have staff
[12:33:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> god's own truth
[12:33:56] <fyngyrz> aye
[12:34:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, you around later or do we need to do the git stuff before i finish my coffee?
[12:34:53] <fyngyrz> I
[12:35:16] <fyngyrz> I'll be around most of the day. testing a new build right now, units tests ongoing
[12:35:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> pffft, unit tests... you kids nowadays.
[12:35:43] <fyngyrz> I have to actually watch, because the app is highly visual - spectra and so forth
[12:36:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> back in my day we just wrote things correctly. then you didn't have to test them.
[12:36:46] <fyngyrz> when things reach a few hundred thousand lines of c source, I kind of rely on units tests... too easy to stick my finger in my eye unintentionally
[12:37:10] <fyngyrz> and I'm getting older, and this is getting ahrder now
[12:37:15] <fyngyrz> harder, even
[12:37:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> odd. it gets easier for me the older i get.
[12:37:40] <fyngyrz> how old are you?
[12:37:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> early 40s
[12:38:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd have to look at my license and do math to give you an exact number
[12:39:02] <fyngyrz> yeah. Was still getting easier for me then, too. I'm 62, and I had a major cognitive insult about three years back - sleep apnea, my immune system about had me for lunch before they caught it and dealt with it. No REM sleep for years in a row, my abilities went to hell in a handbasket
[12:39:29] <fyngyrz> Since then, it's been... different. Not good.
[12:39:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> ouch. you get a pig mask machine?
[12:39:37] <fyngyrz> yes
[12:39:48] <fyngyrz> saved my bloody life, it did
[12:40:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> my boss had one of them back when i was installing some medical network thing 20+ years ago. he was rather unhappy when he woke up and found a pair of my dirty socks sitting across the air intake.
[12:41:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> i dunno why. i thought it was fucking hilarious.
[12:41:26] <fyngyrz> still pranking, eh?
[12:42:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, next year i'm thinking of running a s/man/person/g across the entire site for 4/1
[12:42:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> on render not on storage. just a day worth of humor then everything displays correctly.
[12:44:09] <fyngyrz> I'll be sure to be elsewhere on 4/1 then. :)
[12:44:26] <fyngyrz> Not a fan of 4/1 shennanigans
[12:44:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> should honk off the fepeopleists pretty good
[12:44:41] <fyngyrz> likely
[12:45:30] <fyngyrz> or Easter for that matter. DOuble whammy this year
[12:45:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> it'll prolly get vetoed by someone who thinks it less hilarious but i think it'd be funny.
[12:46:29] <fyngyrz> it would be some level of funny for those who like pranks
[12:46:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, why ain't you got +v?
[12:46:45] <fyngyrz> I have no idea what that is
[12:47:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> voice. you also ain't got sooper sekrit channel access apparently
[12:48:11] <fyngyrz> I'm in dev, editorial, and soylent... somewhere else I need to be?
[12:48:28] <fyngyrz> and, what's voice?
[12:49:06] <fyngyrz> I'm (re-)learning IRC as we go.
[12:49:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> means you can talk in #staff when we have another meeting.
[12:49:19] <fyngyrz> ah. well, I guess I don't rate
[12:49:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> we keep the channel +m, moderated.
[12:49:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, Deucalion is the irc guy and he prolly just didn't get the memo.
[12:49:42] <fyngyrz> new/low guy on totem pole?
[12:51:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyway, i told him to give you the hookup. you got a staff email address yet?
[12:52:22] <fyngyrz> Someone said I did, but I couldn't find the email facilities
[12:52:36] <fyngyrz> I asked, but I guess it got lost in the noise

[12:53:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> or you can use an email client like thunderbird, claws mail, or whatever.
[12:53:49] <fyngyrz> doesn't seem to know my username / password
[12:54:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrmf
[12:55:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> have to get with one of the proper admin types later i guess, figure that stuff out.
[12:56:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> username will be fyngyrz@soylentnews.org
[12:56:34] <fyngyrz> no worries, really - unless there's a reason I need Yet Another Email
[12:56:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea on the password but it's not your normal site password unless you reused it
[12:57:02] <fyngyrz> well, since I didn't set it up, I have no idea
[12:57:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> well we do talk on it some and get important spam
[12:57:20] <fyngyrz> oh good, spam
[12:57:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> really only the admin list gets much spam. my address is public on every post i make and never gets much.
[12:58:23] <fyngyrz> it looks like there's no way to set it up from the login page
[12:58:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> can also have it forwarded to another email account if you like
[12:58:33] <fyngyrz> so some admin will have to step in
[12:58:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, mechanicjay or audioguy needs to do that.
[12:58:38] <fyngyrz> I did bookmark the login
[12:59:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> good nuff for now. i need a cigarette and then some breakfast and then to get my monitor hung and set up.
[12:59:28] <fyngyrz> enjoy
[12:59:57] <fyngyrz> forwarded is definitely the way to go
