[16:30:50] <Ethanol-fueled> I applied for a good job and the hiring manager set up an interview.
[16:31:13] <Ethanol-fueled> I texted him the day of the interview to ask a question and he told me that he cancelled the interview for bullshit reasons.
[16:31:36] <Ethanol-fueled> I called the temp agency and found out that the hiring manager was bullshitting me.
[16:31:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> you'd think that would be more of a ranchhand reason
[16:31:55] <Ethanol-fueled> I texted the hiring manager some nasty words, including "learn English."
[16:32:18] <Ethanol-fueled> The temp agency called me back and told me "we have decided not to move forward with your application at this time"
[16:32:23] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHA, fucking Gooks.
[16:32:26] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[16:32:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> good ole EF. spewing the joy and love from his every orifice
[16:33:11] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck that, man. They waste my time and dick me around, they pay.
[16:33:24] <Ethanol-fueled> That fucker is lucky I didn't post his number to 4chan or something
[16:33:53] <Ethanol-fueled> fortunately I'm transitioning to a better job that pays less but has good people
[16:34:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> personally, i prefer my bridges unburned but whatever blows your skirt up, man.
[16:34:53] <Ethanol-fueled> In that case there was no bridge to begin with
[16:35:36] <Ethanol-fueled> If somebody fucks with me then not only will I burn the bridge but also their villages and then I will salt their fucking Earth
[16:36:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll admit it's entertaining to watch, i just prefer not to do it myself. much like three stooges episodes.
[16:37:17] <Ethanol-fueled> Hell yeah it is.
[16:37:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> or if you prefer something relevant to today, trump's twitter stream.
[16:37:41] <Ethanol-fueled> years ago fixing laptops I saw an angry Black man flip out and walk off the job because the Iranians kept stealing his nice tools
[16:38:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> wrong approach. put the first motherfucker who does in the hospital is the proper approach.
[16:38:33] <Ethanol-fueled> Damn right
[16:38:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Taking tools has got to be the gadget industry's biggest pet peeve
[16:39:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> tools are something that directly affects a person's ability to earn a living. you do not fuck with that.
[16:39:32] <Ethanol-fueled> Knew a dude who kept an X-acto knife blade-up hidden amongst his other tools to give any potential thieves a nasty surprise
[16:39:42] <Ethanol-fueled> if anybody got cut he had plausible deniability
[16:39:46] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[16:40:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> try that shit with a carpenter's hammer, a plumber's wrench, or an electrician's lineman pliers and you'd get the shit knocked out of you with the tool in question.
[16:40:56] <Ethanol-fueled> hell yeah bro
[16:41:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean you might get fired but getting a job if you have skills isn't hard and that motherfucker would never touch anyone's tools without asking again.
[16:43:23] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah. Another big pet peeve is when motherfuckers lock up or otherwise hoard communal tools
[16:43:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's annoying but not necessarily an ass beating offense.
[16:44:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> snagging another department's tools is another matter though.
[16:44:18] <Ethanol-fueled> You have a big expensive fucking tool kit that you gotta share and that one motherfucker brings his own little lockbox and locks up the crows-foot and the scribes and shit
[16:44:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's when you requisition an angle grinder.
[16:45:15] <Ethanol-fueled> hahaha
[16:45:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> torch would be more fun but it might damage the shit inside.
[16:46:55] <Ethanol-fueled> fire! fire! huh huh, heh heh
[16:47:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, i'm glad i know how to carpenter/plumber/electrician/hvac but i'm rethinking saving the money and doing so much of the church->house conversion myself.
[16:48:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> i ain't as young as i used to be and there's reasons i got out of physical labor careers to begin with.
[16:48:31] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, that shit can be brutal
[16:49:20] <Ethanol-fueled> I made the mistake of pouring concrete for a friend once
[16:49:39] <Ethanol-fueled> using home depot bucket and an eggbeater mixer
[16:49:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> ouch
[16:50:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> wheelbarrow and trowel is sufficient unless you're pouring a foundation
[16:50:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> anything more than a bag or two of quickcreet and you call a fucking truck though.
[16:50:32] <Ethanol-fueled> That would be what a smart person who's done that before would use
[16:50:42] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[16:51:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, and it's an extremely fine art. In cooking there's margin of error
[16:51:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> mixing it ain't even the hard part of pouring concrete. tamping the sand underneath down is if you're too cheap to rent a mexican.
[16:51:24] <Ethanol-fueled> pouring quickcrete the mixure and timing has to be exactly fucking perfect or it looks like shite
[16:51:58] <Ethanol-fueled> hahah, wait, you have to tamp the sand down?
[16:52:02] <Ethanol-fueled> Uh-oh
[16:52:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> i hand tamped a 32x40 slab once. took over a day and i never wanted to skimp on mexican paying again.
[16:53:06] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahah
[16:53:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, otherwise it shifts and your shit is gonna crack if it's any bigger than a pad for your outside unit for your ac
[16:53:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> not like immediately but eventually
[16:54:37] <Ethanol-fueled> The slab is holding up, but the funny fucked up thing about it is that I completed it in 2 iterations
[16:54:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> two pours?
[16:55:05] <Ethanol-fueled> so one half of the slab is a different shade than the other
[16:55:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Like, I poured half in one day and the other half a week later
[16:55:29] <Ethanol-fueled> really triggers the ADD when you look at it, hahaha
[16:55:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> thas fine. actually more sturdy like that since you have a known flex point.
[16:55:39] <Ethanol-fueled> sweet, that's good news
[16:56:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> not as pretty but if that's an issue you got no business doing it yourself anyway.
[16:56:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah...maybe there's a deck coating or something that can pretty it up
[16:56:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> like i'm not gonna paint a family portrait just cause paints are cheaper than hiring a painter.
[16:57:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's an epoxy stuff that you pour on concrete that lasts like forever and would give you a uniform color.
[16:57:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> forget what it's called though
[16:58:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> right now i'm in the middle of tearing walls out of the upstairs of the church so different walls can get put in and ripping out the downstairs ceiling for wiring purposes.
[16:59:12] <Ethanol-fueled> You converting a church to a house?
[16:59:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah. the roomie picked it up for $30k or so. like 4800 ft^2
[16:59:47] <Ethanol-fueled> Shit, not bad at all.
[16:59:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> fucking amazing is what it is.
[17:00:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> hardwood all upstairs. so much room downstairs we really haven't figured out what to even do with it.
[17:01:15] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh man, you don't want to fuck with that hardwood
[17:01:29] <Ethanol-fueled> put an imax in that bitch
[17:01:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we keepin it cause of the badass.
[17:01:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> roomie been scoffing at my bowling alley idea
[17:01:48] <Ethanol-fueled> or an indoor shooting range
[17:01:56] <Ethanol-fueled> fuck yeah, bowling alley is a good idea
[17:01:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya. it's below ground.
[17:02:25] <chromas> it's a church, not a school
[17:02:26] <Ethanol-fueled> Put a full-bar in that bitch
[17:02:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas++
[17:02:31] <Bender> karma - chromas: 242
[17:02:35] <Ethanol-fueled> JESUS CHRIST would approve
[17:02:46] <Ethanol-fueled> hello chromas
[17:02:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> goes without saying but i think that's gonna be upstairs
[17:03:06] <chromas> 'sup ef
[17:03:08] <cmn32480> "Metallic Wood" Has the Strength of Titanium and the Density of Water
[17:03:18] <cmn32480> from the robot-genitals dept
[17:03:29] <Ethanol-fueled> transparent aluminum
[17:03:30] <cmn32480> is that inappropriate
[17:03:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> we'll honestly probably end up using the downstairs mostly as a maker space
[17:03:56] <Ethanol-fueled> hell yeah, you can fit lots of machines in there
[17:04:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. some arty areas, all kinds of tool swinging bays, etc...
[17:04:31] <chromas> build a data center and host soylent news
[17:04:42] <chromas> and skating rink
[17:04:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> pay for my internet and the hardware and i will.
[17:05:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> just don't bitch when quality of service degrades at night. porn takes priority.
[17:05:20] <cmn32480> he said tool swinging bays....
[17:05:23] <Ethanol-fueled> hahahah
[17:05:28] <Ethanol-fueled> dem peak hours doe
[17:05:29] * cmn32480 tries to get his mind out of the gutter
[17:06:08] <Ethanol-fueled> my ISP is offering 20 bucks a month service, but then I wouldnt be able to torrent
[17:06:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think we'll put the bar in the library. already got plans on making pipe tobacco scented sensi wax for in there.
[17:06:41] <Ethanol-fueled> I didn't know you were a pothead
[17:06:54] <Ethanol-fueled> but a library is a good place for a bar
[17:07:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> i can get gigabit for like $75 but i'm not bothering until we move.
[17:07:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> tobacco not pot. pipes smell good and it's gonna be like an old english feel room.
[17:07:33] <chromas> did they leave a stack of bibles for rolling paper?
[17:07:48] <Ethanol-fueled> man buzzard, that's peak asthetic
[17:07:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> lotsa dark wood like chromas's social calendar.
[17:07:56] <Ethanol-fueled> hahahaha
[17:08:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, yup. hymnals too. and a drum set.
[17:08:43] <Ethanol-fueled> always wanted one of those smoky libraries with cherry and leather furniture and a pretentious old-style globe on my desk
[17:09:04] <Ethanol-fueled> brick and wood, maybe some dead animal heads mounted all around
[17:09:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's the plan, yep. wall sconces for lighting. hand made table most likely.
[17:09:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> cept we'll prolly go mahogany rather than cherry
[17:10:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> got bought for like $30k but it'll appraise for over $200k when we're done with it.
[17:11:00] <Ethanol-fueled> goddamn, dont remind me of California's shit property values
[17:11:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> just wish i had less old than i do. in my 20s i could have done most of the carpentry in a week or two.
[17:11:29] <Ethanol-fueled> You got motherfuckers paying a cool million for 400 square foot shacks and shit
[17:11:35] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[17:11:50] <Ethanol-fueled> and dumb motherfuckers actually buy those, too
[17:12:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep, they may be able to walk down the street to some trendy bullshit but they have to come home to a box smaller than my storage shed.
[17:12:30] <Ethanol-fueled> they pay a million fucking bucks for a shack. Fuck man if I had a million bucks I'd move to Idaho and buy a 200K property and fucking pocket the rest.
[17:12:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. better fishing there anyway.
[17:13:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> too many yankees though
[17:13:18] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, goddamn Yankees
[17:13:29] * fyngyrz waves
[17:13:38] <Ethanol-fueled> Norcal has some good cheap houses but you're going full-boonie
[17:13:52] <Ethanol-fueled> living in towns with like population 100 and shit
[17:14:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> as much as i hated TN every time i had to drive across it long ways, it's really fucking pretty, lacks yankees, and rarely snows to amount to anything.
[17:14:06] <Ethanol-fueled> towns that are basically a church and liquor store
[17:14:23] <Ethanol-fueled> hello, fyngyrz
[17:14:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> if the liquor store sells bait, what else do you need?
[17:14:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> fyngyrz, sup, yo
[17:15:01] <fyngyrz> just lurking and enjoying the church build stuff.
[17:15:28] <fyngyrz> been there, done that, ssomewhat still doing it
[17:15:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> library's the only bit of upstairs that's keeping the vaulted ceiling. the rest of it's becoming a colossal, decked attic
[17:16:13] <Ethanol-fueled> that attic sounds like a good location for a gaming room
[17:16:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> but there's a bigass leaded glass cross window on the north wall, so we're keeping it there.
[17:16:41] <Ethanol-fueled> get some blacklights and lava lamps up in that bitch
[17:16:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit man, the livingroom is gonna be like 30' long and 12' wide
[17:17:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> attic's being an attic cause the roomie is a fucking enormous packrat. we currently don't have a dining room because he ain't got the ability to throw anything away ever.
[17:18:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyway, i gotta fuck off and go get work done. laters
[17:18:52] <Ethanol-fueled> lata
[17:19:20] <Ethanol-fueled> I guess I shall bounce as well...to SHITPOST
[17:19:23] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
[17:20:04] <pinchy> omg its fuel man
[17:23:46] -!- Ethanol-fueled has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[17:25:51] <chromas> Why leaded glass? Does it have divine properties?
[17:27:38] <chromas> Hm, the internet says it looks nicer I guess

[17:30:29] <pinchy> so did they take the pews out?
[17:30:40] <pinchy> didnt read every line of the backscroll
[17:31:15] <pinchy> i guess it has a raised center podium. what they call it the pulpit
[17:39:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> no and yes. both are currently moved so we can rip up the stage.

[21:09:27] <AzumaHazuki> gooooooooooood morning, Viet Nam!
[21:09:41] <fyngyrz> oh hey :)
[21:10:00] <AzumaHazuki> I can haz modest proposal for staff? AC posts should have the SHA512 or similar hashes of their IP addresses visible. Nothing that can be used to geolocate someone
[21:10:21] <fyngyrz> staff can see those
[21:10:26] <fyngyrz> they're present now
[21:10:32] <AzumaHazuki> yes, but i am asking for everyone to be able to
[21:10:37] <fyngyrz> oh, I see
[21:11:29] <fyngyrz> Can you explain what you are looking to accomplish?
[21:11:43] <AzumaHazuki> there's a bit of a weakness in here in that a sufficiently motivated (and undermeployed...) troll can force-multiply his stupidity by hiding behind complete anonymity. I seem to have picked up a few "fanbois" recently...
[21:11:46] <fyngyrz> I know that'll be the first thing you're asked, so, I'm asking :)
[21:12:24] <AzumaHazuki> bsically i'm trying to raise the signal to noise ratio on the forums a bit
[21:12:41] <fyngyrz> kiddo, you're usually a voice of (somewhat acerbic) reason among a bunch fo rabid right-wingers. I'd wear those nasties like a badge of pride
[21:12:41] <AzumaHazuki> and i expect that there will be some...interesting...patterns revealed
[21:15:35] <fyngyrz> Well, we will see what the powers-that-be have to say about your idea
[21:15:35] -!- bacterium has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:16:16] <AzumaHazuki> they're probably gonna say "hell no we ain't." because MUH FREEDUMZ!!!!, as if this is actually going to infringe on those...?
[21:17:19] <fyngyrz> well, that would be pretty hypocritical, since *they* see exactly what you're talking about
[21:17:24] <boru> I posit that it is. Why increase the surface for aggregation? I posit further that, if you contest with stupidity, you're wresting with pigs in the mud.
[21:18:04] <AzumaHazuki> O~kay, for like the 13th time in 3 days...I "contest with stupidity" for the benefit of any innocent bystanders who happen to step in it
[21:18:32] <AzumaHazuki> I see a big ol' organic Baby Ruth floating in the meme pool, I point it out for what it is so some impressionable sap doesn't go "you know, he has a point, I'll take a big ol' bite out of that..."
[21:18:41] <boru> Sure, but if they lack the critical thinking to dismantle the stupidity themselves, nothing of value is lost.
[21:19:18] <AzumaHazuki> I wish it were so! But everything and everyone is interconnected to some degree at some point in time. Get enough stupid in one place and it snowballs...
[21:20:04] <boru> Well, you're not wrong. Stupidty _can_ reach critical mass. I just feel that contesting these bellends does nothing other than decrease the SNR further.
[21:20:24] <boru> Since their arguments aren't founded on rational logic to begin with.
[21:20:48] <AzumaHazuki> on a one-vs-one basis, yes. think of it as a kind of area-of-effect noetic vaccination program
[21:20:56] <boru> Heh.
[21:21:12] <AzumaHazuki> i know the trolls and shills can't be saved. They sacrificed what was good in themselves a long, long time ago. this is damage control.
[21:22:25] <fyngyrz> You understand that anyone who has actually read the faq knows to come in via a proxy in order to actually be anonymous, right?
[21:22:42] <fyngyrz> many of the ACs are actually unique, one-shot IPs
[21:22:43] <boru> Not just a proxy, but sure.
[21:22:44] <AzumaHazuki> Yes, but how many people actually RTF...er, FAQ?
[21:22:56] <fyngyrz> okay, just saying
[21:23:13] <fyngyrz> right boru, I'm handwaving
[21:23:19] <AzumaHazuki> for what this is worth, I do proxy :) my traffic goes through a friend's bouncer
[21:23:22] <boru> I know, I'm just being a pedant.
[21:23:29] <fyngyrz> s'fine
[21:24:07] <AzumaHazuki> he's told me "Don't get anyone angry enough to murder you, because I don't want a mailbomb showing up at my apartment building based on one of them geolocating where they think you're posting from" LOL

[21:25:15] <chromas> dog
[21:25:34] <boru> That'd be the ATF, or the FBI, AIUI.
[21:25:53] <AzumaHazuki> He has no pets AFAIK, but yeah
[21:26:39] <chromas> Well, not anymore
[21:27:24] <AzumaHazuki> I think he said he had some pet mice as a kid? ick.
[21:28:09] <chromas> We recently had a wild mouse running amok in the house. It pooped in our dishes :(
[21:28:23] <chromas> lazy_cat--
[21:28:23] <Bender> karma - lazy_cat: -1
[21:28:35] <boru> Well fed cats make poor mouse catchers.
[21:28:47] <AzumaHazuki> ahhh, i want a cat someday
[21:29:00] <chromas> He did bring in a mouse one time, then let it go inside
[21:29:17] <AzumaHazuki> will go to the shelter and find an adult black cat, specifically because people are stupid about adopting 1) black cats and 2) adult cats
[21:29:25] <fyngyrz> nice
[21:29:30] <fyngyrz> kudos
[21:29:34] <AzumaHazuki> they're so pretty, how could anyone not want one?
[21:29:53] <chromas> They bring down the property values
[21:29:55] <chromas> I mean, uh...
[21:30:18] * AzumaHazuki is in no way hoping it will talk and give her occult bits of jewelry
[21:30:45] <chromas> Are you a teen witch, perchance?
[21:31:09] <AzumaHazuki> Never a witch of any sort, and at 33...not a teen. It is scary to be that old and not feel it
[21:31:39] <AzumaHazuki> feels like i should be in my mid 20s at most. i guess when you're missing entire years of memory that happens :/
[21:35:19] <chromas> Oh, I saw a documentary about that once
[21:36:29] <AzumaHazuki> about missing memories, or about teenage witches who get magic items from talking black cats?
[21:39:39] <chromas> The memories
[21:40:27] <chromas> It had Paul Reubens
[21:41:08] <chromas> Oh it was Flight of the Navigator

[22:39:45] <poutine> wow y'all are still around?
[22:53:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, ipv4 addresses can be rainbow tabled no matter how strong a hash you use. salts make that a little more difficult but not prohibitively so. the key space is just too small to expose hashed addresses.
[22:54:34] <AzumaHazuki> ugh, I was afraid of that...2^32-1 really is a rather small phase space isn't it?
[22:54:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> we _could_ do an index number as in "first AC to post to this story" which would help on any given story.
[22:55:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm not really concerned about an AC talking to themselves but it would be nice to be able to tell if you're being answered by the one you replied to.
[22:55:59] <AzumaHazuki> no way to track how many comments in a given story come from the same IP without exposing data?

[22:56:30] -!- mode/#Soylent [+v mrpg] by Aphrodite
[22:56:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh that we could do, yes. s'what i meant about the index. use a simple sort function on all the ipids for a given story's comments and stuff them in an array.
[22:57:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> post the index number instead of the ipid
[22:58:18] <AzumaHazuki> i can usually guess which ACs are which based on tone and content but this would go a long way to keeping them (slighly less dis-)honest, IMO
[22:58:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> if we made the indexes site-wide that would be the same as posting the hash though as far as government badness goes though, so we probably aren't going to do that.
[22:58:53] * AzumaHazuki rolls eyes, is grimly amused at how this one AC keeps calling her "tranny"
[22:59:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> manual or automatic?
[22:59:22] <AzumaHazuki> LOL! That was my first thought
[22:59:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nm, automatic. forgot you didn't like stick for a moment.
[22:59:42] <AzumaHazuki> Indeed :D
[23:00:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. been thinking about it for a while. if i get time after the stuff that's crucial, i'll try and get individual story indexes done up.
[23:01:17] <mrpg> Build a (fire)wall and keep trump out.
[23:01:52] <poutine> Has SN been sold like 10 times?
[23:03:34] <mrpg> No, but VICE is eyeing it
[23:04:03] <mrpg> RT!!! Or telesur.
[23:04:10] <AzumaHazuki> not sure i like that idea
[23:04:30] <AzumaHazuki> Anandtech has become a shithole since Purch ate it, we all know what happened to /., and so on
[23:04:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> they'd have to talk NCommander and matt_ out of their shares. they're the only shareholders. and the board has to approve a sale of any shares.
[23:05:28] <chromas> Give shares to all registered users; sell sn for big bux; start new site with big moneys
[23:06:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> knew a guy who did that with BBQ back in OK. he'd start a restaurant, people would find out he was cooking again and flock to it, he'd sell it and walk away, and repeat as necessary.
[23:07:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> was annoying but he cooked excellent pig and cow
