[09:13:03] <AzumaHazuki> I don't think I have much time left...those premonitions of my own death are back and they've been really bad for the last couple of days
[09:16:14] <FatPhil> Do not use such premonitions as an excuse to make unwise decisions - that's a common mistake.
[09:16:31] <AzumaHazuki> how common are these premonitions anyway?
[09:18:15] <FatPhil> They are correlated quite well with various mental conditions, but I'm not a doctor.
[09:18:32] <AzumaHazuki> i'm not a schizphrenic, and have never hallucinated once
[09:19:56] <FatPhil> I'm not a schizophrenic, but I've hallucinated, not under the influence of any drugs, many times. My fucked up sleep patterns prvide all the stimulus my brain needs to misfire occasionally.
[09:20:03] <boru> Believe it or not, such things are symptomatic of a slew of pathogens and symptomatic of various illnesses.
[09:20:26] <boru> Creeping dread, and sense of impending doom, that is.
[09:20:41] <AzumaHazuki> hmm...what could it be, do you think? that's an interesting idea, but the only thing that comes to mind is toxoplasmosis
[09:20:46] <AzumaHazuki> and i never owned a cat
[09:21:16] <boru> There are a bunch of contact poisons which can trigger it, fungi, a bunch of cardio-vascular transients and so on.
[09:21:20] <boru> Got other symptoms?
[09:23:24] <AzumaHazuki> nothing specific. i do skip a heartbeat now and then but that's stress and caffeine
[09:24:03] <FatPhil> But one handy hint - don't feel tempted to self-diagnose, or give anything some rando might proffer - diagnosis is a job for a professional.
[09:24:55] <FatPhil> confirmation bias is a strong influence here.
[09:25:58] <AzumaHazuki> yeah...
[09:28:00] <boru> I am a scientist! I've been conducting human experiments for decades! I know what I'm talking about.
[09:28:45] <AzumaHazuki> it may actually be a relief. i'll have to reincarnate again of course, but i won't know it's me, if that makes sense
[09:28:45] <boru> But yes, I do agree with Phil. Best to speech with a GP, and go from there.
[09:33:56] <AzumaHazuki> i don't even really care any longer. i feel all floaty and detached
[09:34:13] <AzumaHazuki> is this what it's like to die for real? if so i'm not sure i mind at all
[09:35:48] <boru> Depends on how you die. Anything involving hypoxia will have that floating and serene feeling.
[09:37:19] <boru> I would see a GP if it worries you, but I'd put money that this sensation is symptomatic of something decidedly less serious.
[09:37:51] <AzumaHazuki> oh, it doesn't worry me. more, i think there's finally going to be an ending to things...
[09:38:27] <boru> That is inevitable. No one gets out alive.
[09:38:58] <AzumaHazuki> i've taken too much damage. it's becoming increasingly impossible to keep going. so maybe the end is coming and it's a merciful thing
[09:44:05] <AzumaHazuki> let's see what happens tonight in dreamland...

[16:40:56] <AzumaHazuki> ...for real? The whitest of white fragile male snowflakes got triggered by the fact that a woman was the hero of that story?
[16:41:09] <SoyCow1984> apparently
[16:42:41] <AzumaHazuki> Jesus. Why is it the supposed master race, rulers of the entire planet, the ones who were born on third base and think they hit a triple, are so fucking fragile?
[16:42:46] <boru> Socio-politics aside, on closer inspection of the astronomical science, I am a bit disappointed that it's another software based statistical result.
[16:43:00] <Sulla> It wasn't just white men. Other women on the project were annoyed that one girl was getting the spotlight
[16:43:13] <Sulla> seemed some overzealous news person saw one image and gave one person all the credit
[16:43:16] <boru> i.e. we have N models of what it might look like, and our program assigned the highest weight to this one.
[16:43:54] <SoyCow1984> Sure, it's a graduate student project. Everyone wants their contributions to be recognized
[16:43:55] <AzumaHazuki> that explains all the "algorithm" talk
[16:44:13] <AzumaHazuki> i mean, yeah, it's kiiiinda hard to image something that eats light directly...
[16:44:30] <boru> Well, that's a bit of a misnomer.
[16:44:59] <SoyCow1984> Miss Nomer. She was my third grade teacher.
[16:45:06] <boru> The target in question has been the prime study for radiating blackholes since people got bored with Cygnus X-1.
[16:45:26] <SoyCow1984> Ever since that darn Disney movie
[16:45:27] <boru> It's _the_ example of relativistic jets from black holes.
[16:46:03] <SoyCow1984> Hopefully they aren't Boeing jets
[16:46:10] <boru> It wasn't imaged as you might think, either; it's interferometric radio imaging.
[16:46:38] <SoyCow1984> For sufficiently wide definitions of "imaging"

[16:48:09] <Sulla> thank anyone its friday
[16:48:34] <SoyCow1984> Is this really any different than other imaging such as CAT scans or MRI images that are constructed via algorithm and calculations?
[16:49:53] <SoyCow1984> The goal is to take something unobservable by people and turn it into a representation that is interpretable in some useful fashion by people, right?

[17:33:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> Public Service Announcement: "Han shot first" implies that Greedo got a chance to shoot at all. Greedo got no such chance.
[17:38:23] <Sulla> Matt Dillon would have hunted Han for it

[18:17:24] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Mozilla Releases Firefox Beta for Windows 10 ARM - http://sylnt.us - buck-feta!
[18:21:14] <AzumaHazuki> google's latest war on adblockers has convinced me to move back to firefox
[18:21:34] <AzumaHazuki> well, that, and MS essentially partnering with Google
[18:22:08] <Sulla> I have been using firefox as I look for a better option
[18:22:18] <Sulla> I liked ghostry for a while but it became unstable on my phone
[18:24:16] <AzumaHazuki> KDE's Falkon is nice aside from not actually having most extensions for it
[18:24:40] <AzumaHazuki> Falkon is to Konqueror in browser mode what Dolphin is to Konqueror in file manager mode, basically
[18:30:43] <Sulla> Interesting
[18:31:50] <Sulla> What pharmacy chain do you work for?
[18:32:17] <Sulla> My wife keeps finding that all the ones she works for are real shitty, looking for other options
[18:59:36] <AzumaHazuki> would rather not mention. i have a feeling i won't be there much longer; of the six of us hired since November, two are gone, one more is leaving in late summer, and the two newest ones are making some very loud noises to the effect that this isn't what they expected
[19:00:02] <AzumaHazuki> the boss, if he is the kind of weasel i suspect he is, is likely just going to declare us all a loss and shitcan us all at once
[19:00:47] <AzumaHazuki> i'm their fastest learner and one of their best, especially for a newbie, but i also have awful hearing and a nervous temperament, so good ol' discrimination is probably gonna rear its ugly head
[19:01:43] <AzumaHazuki> this is likely what all those premonitions of oncoming death are about
[19:04:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> well that all sounds awful.
[19:04:21] <AzumaHazuki> this is typical for my luck
[19:04:33] <AzumaHazuki> this life appears to be some sort of punishment tour
[19:11:33] <Sulla> In general most operate just like the department store they are associated with
[19:11:55] <Sulla> so at best weekly schedules, going out of their way to schedule work when they know you have medical appointments
[19:12:53] <Sulla> My wife managed to negotiate 19/hour as a tech with a year under her belt, they happily responded and then proceeded to give her only 8 hours a week

[19:17:37] <AzumaHazuki> i hope i live long enough to see mass murders of CEOs and HR types
[19:17:39] <AzumaHazuki> preferably with fire
[19:20:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> well aren't we just one big ray of sunshine today
[19:20:44] <Sulla> So far not sure which management is worse, the pharmacists who assume that everyone is making 150/hour like they are so schedule poorly because they think nobody cares, or the management who treats techs like front end clerks
[19:21:04] * TheMightyBuzzard returns victorious over his archnemesis the catfish
[19:21:12] <Sulla> Ah, here comes TMB, the windows 7 apologist with his "DnD5 is fine" talk
[19:21:26] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[19:21:33] <AzumaHazuki> eat shit and die, Uzzard
[19:21:39] <AzumaHazuki> i may have less than a month to live
[19:21:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> not my fault you don't get super powers for playing a ranger cleric anymore
[19:21:56] <Sulla> the fug is a ranger cleric?
[19:22:11] <Sulla> some 2nd edition thing?
[19:22:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> sorry to hear that. why?
[19:22:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup
[19:22:41] <Sulla> Never played, too young for that
[19:23:13] <Sulla> Played 5th at a lot of conventions and it always feels like a win7 "well at least its not vista" deal
[19:23:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> ranger/cleric of meilikki advanced in both for the price of one. it was bad.
[19:23:21] <AzumaHazuki> not enough information to know yet. the premonitions are back, and it feels like whatever it is that's been stalking me is right on top of me now
[19:23:47] <Sulla> Does your state not offer any kind of help?
[19:23:58] <AzumaHazuki> this...is not something i can be helped with
[19:24:28] <AzumaHazuki> for the next few weeks i'm going to be Schroedinger's Cat i suppose...
[19:24:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> might want to talk to a shrink about anxiety/panic attacks help. if they're right, you're fixed. if you're right, you get to say i told you so from the great beyond. win/win.
[19:25:20] <AzumaHazuki> i'm not even panicking. i feel weirdly floaty and at peace, like this is happening to someone else
[19:25:26] <AzumaHazuki> maybe i don't have what to panic with any longer
[19:25:56] <Sulla> Get some benzos, pharmacist friend says its the one true cure for everything, or worst case it makes you not care about the actual problem
[19:26:02] <Sulla> overweight? take benzos and run
[19:26:13] <Sulla> Or, take benzos and not care about eating
[19:26:47] <AzumaHazuki> i'm 5'10" and 141lb at last weigh in, so no, not overweight
[19:27:03] <Sulla> was examples of cures of benzos
[19:27:05] <AzumaHazuki> women half a foot shorter than me at work weigh more
[19:27:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, if you end up not dying, you might want to consider seeing a shrink anyway. if it ain't a legit premonition, it's something that shouldn't happen and you can't fix with duct tape or wd40.
[19:27:59] <Sulla> and if its legit preminitions your time is wasted as a pharm tech and should be spent immorally trading stocks
[19:28:14] <AzumaHazuki> when things like this happen they've nearly always turned out to be real. i even get them at a distance about other people
[19:28:26] <Sulla> Weird
[19:28:37] <Sulla> are they always negative?
[19:28:39] <AzumaHazuki> a month or so ago i thought of a relative i hadn't seen in 7+ years, out of nowhere. next morning i get a call he died. about 12 hours before the call. which was about when i thought of him
[19:28:43] <AzumaHazuki> yes, always
[19:28:53] <AzumaHazuki> and that's not the first time that happened.more like the fourth
[19:29:04] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his chin
[19:29:11] <Sulla> Have you tried to change the outcome?
[19:29:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, even if you knew the right lotto numbers you'd give me the wrong ones.
[19:29:16] <AzumaHazuki> yes. once.
[19:29:20] <AzumaHazuki> don't
[19:29:29] <AzumaHazuki> that is all i can say. do not try and change it
[19:29:41] <boru> Have you had these feelings before and nothing happened?
[19:30:06] <AzumaHazuki> never on this scale. and i know the difference in feeling between "just nervous" and "pay afuckingttention marissa, this is the call of the dirac sea"
[19:30:09] <boru> I missed the scrollback, so apologies if someone has already asked this question. Just curious about confirmation bias.
[19:30:10] <Sulla> Well if your outcome is 80% death if you don't muck with it, and mucking with it might make it 50%?
[19:30:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> Casandra's Tears then?
[19:30:56] <AzumaHazuki> who knows? people keep using the P-word, I don't believe in that sort of thing, and yet...
[19:31:14] <boru> In any case, I still think getting a blood test at the GP would be informative. As I mentioned earlier, these things can be symptomatic of many minor maladies.
[19:31:42] <AzumaHazuki> worth a try i suppose. what do you suspect, some kind of spirochete?
[19:31:59] <Sulla> Mineral imbalances can cause weird problems
[19:32:22] <AzumaHazuki> hm, maybe potassium? I know i get about 150% RDA of magnesium
[19:32:31] <boru> Any manner of things, really. There are seasonal fungi and spores etc.
[19:32:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> it could be a tumor <arnold>it's not a toomah</arnold>
[19:32:51] <boru> Electrolytic shortage would explain aches and pains. Do you drink a lot of water?
[19:33:06] <Sulla> "Eat bananas"
[19:33:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> you'd have muscle cramps if you were that short on potassium but eating a banana ain't exactly a hardship.
[19:33:15] <chromas> Nature's glue stick
[19:33:58] <AzumaHazuki> hm...the fungi may be it actually. we had someone in who went through the entire supply of sporanox in three days
[19:34:04] <AzumaHazuki> i wonder if it's that fucking Candida auris thing
[19:34:12] <boru> If it was, you'd be very ill.
[19:34:37] <boru> And that's generally contracted by people with weakened immune systems.
[19:34:42] <AzumaHazuki> hmm...time to figure out how to clean out my bloodstream i guess. time to go...day 3 of a 7 day swing shift schedule.
[19:34:54] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
[19:34:59] <boru> Well, try to stay--nevermind.
[19:35:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> leeches, obviously
[19:36:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> woman needs some professional help
[19:36:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> she'd listen to that from me shortly after flying monkeys started rocketing out of my ass though
[19:36:35] <Sulla> Candida auris doesn't effect those otherwise healthy from what i understand
[19:36:50] <Sulla> although if you get that I'm having my wife quit at the pharmacy and moving into the mountains
[19:37:38] <Sulla> need some draino arteries and veins TM
[19:38:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> borg nanites
[19:39:06] <pinchy> a conflict of visions
[19:39:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> mine is obviously the superior vision. i caught fish today and he didn't.

[19:47:15] <chromas> What kinds of protein do they find high levels of in former cheerleaders?
[19:52:39] <Sulla> Saw an interesting study on that, don't particularly want to look it up at work. A woman who was in her 80s/90s died and an autopsy was done. They found foreign DNA in her brain. The study knew the womans sexual history, and was confident that the foreign DNA came from men she had been with 40+ years prior
