[00:06:21] <AzumaHazuki> yup, they're pretty weak. nice flavor though

[00:06:56] <fyngyrz> yep. Hot enough for me. I like the flavor of peppers, have no wish for the burn. At either end
[00:06:59] <AzumaHazuki> lol, at the local bar there's a bottle labeled "do you feel lucky, punk? well, do ya?!" So of course I dunked half of it on my cheese curds. not very hot but super-delicious :9
[00:07:40] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - First Moon Landing Manual Could Fetch $9 Million at Auction - http://sylnt.us - expensive-documentation
[00:07:49] <fyngyrz> these are freaking *awesome*: https://www.mezzetta.com
[00:07:50] <upstart> ^ 03Mezzetta: Deli Sliced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers
[00:08:03] <fyngyrz> all the flavor, very little of the nasty
[00:08:15] <fyngyrz> I have a case of them in the pantry
[00:08:40] <AzumaHazuki> i love those little Thai birds'-eye chillis. they pack a surprising punch and a very pure, almost ethereal or alcoholic pungency
[00:08:41] <RandomFactor> when i first moved to this city i saw Pace Extra Mild on the shelves. I'd never heard of such a thing, i told the folks back home on the echo (Fidonet days). They told me "Extra Mild?? Think that's Ketchup"
[00:09:50] <RandomFactor> funny things stick in your memory
[00:10:54] <RandomFactor> Also the time we walked into a Thai restaurant and told them we'ld never had Thai food that was all that hot. I don't know how they did it, but they totally changed our mind. It was a painful meal.
[00:11:52] <RandomFactor> The chefs kept peaking their heads out the door to watch us eat
[00:12:16] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, they were thinking "great, a bunch of wiseass Pharang who think our entire cuisine boils down to capsaicin. well, let's not disappoint them"
[00:12:25] <RandomFactor> Pretty much
[00:13:13] <RandomFactor> The waiter really rubbed it in at the end
[00:13:52] <RandomFactor> He had started with "that's because we always cook it to 'american hot', you want it thai hot!"
[00:14:39] <fyngyrz> If I'm going to sweat, I want sex to be involved.
[00:15:01] <RandomFactor> when we were done we say ' so this is thai hot?" and he goes " welll, no... we know if we give you thai hot you no can even touch it, so we give you thai -medium-"
[00:15:35] <RandomFactor> It was a flawless victory
[00:15:44] <AzumaHazuki> LOL. They're partly right, some dishes in Thai cuisine are painfully hot even for me, little miss "if we're not supposed to drink Sriracha then why is there a little green drinky spout on it?"
[00:16:50] <RandomFactor> We've gone back and tried to get them to recreate it, but that was apparently a one time special thing
[00:17:12] <fyngyrz> masochism... it's everywhere
[00:17:27] <fyngyrz> "Please sir, may I have another?"
[00:17:37] <AzumaHazuki> capsaicin is good for you :v
[00:18:01] <RandomFactor> well, with reason. People go to the hospital at that ghost pepper eating contest they hold every year
[00:18:25] <AzumaHazuki> those things are ridiculous @_@ i've never had one and don't think i could handle it
[00:18:31] <RandomFactor> but if you're gonna pack those away in bulk, that makes a certain amount of sense
[00:19:07] <RandomFactor> I promise I could eat it. (Then i would probably cry like a baby for 20 mnutes)
[00:19:15] <fyngyrz> moderation in all things, baby
[00:19:41] <AzumaHazuki> i hear people can get irregular or rapid heartbeat from them even
[00:20:00] <RandomFactor> some of the youtube vids of folks eating those that aren't into hot stuff are painful to watch
[00:20:00] <Bytram> fyngyrz: Had an Irish Setter when I was growing up, and when it passed my folks got another one. Protective, loving, and dumb as a brick.
[00:20:11] <fyngyrz> _some_ capsaicin is good for you. Too much can kill you
[00:20:12] <Bytram> I believe it.
[00:20:28] <fyngyrz> yeah, sweet animals. I do cats these days. Much smarter than dogs.
[00:20:51] * Bytram is zoooooming along with a new 1TB SSD in his lappy replacing his old spinny 500MB
[00:21:13] <AzumaHazuki> caaaaat <3 someday i wanna adopt an adult black cat from the shelter, one of the ones no one will adopt. since i'm basically the human version of a black cat anyway
[00:21:20] <fyngyrz> oh, more space too - that's a win for sure
[00:21:41] <RandomFactor> Instanity Dave put out a vial of pure capsaicin (came in a small coffin) back in the 90s. A guy described his experience putting one crystal on his tongue. It was a blisteringly painful paragraph.
[00:21:57] <fyngyrz> we have an all-black male feral we've just managed to strike up a "you-can-pet-me" relationship with
[00:22:15] <AzumaHazuki> :3
[00:22:21] <Bytram> Was a full-day affair with chkdsk, drive, copy, and a couple false starts getting the new drive (~7mm tall) to fit in where the old lappy (~9.5mm tall) was, but succeeded in the end. Full details in #editorial
[00:22:31] <fyngyrz> I might have pics soon, if so, I'll lob one your way Az
[00:22:58] <RandomFactor> Cat needs fixin. She goes from shredder jr. to way too affectionate for a week then back to shredder
[00:23:20] <fyngyrz> yep, that's how they are
[00:23:32] <fyngyrz> also floor-surfin
[00:23:40] <fyngyrz> (g)
[00:23:54] * Bytram once had a feral cat... took about 6 weeks until I could stand next to her when she was eating... at first, I had to be at least 15 feet away, and motionless
[00:23:57] <RandomFactor> floor surfin? You linoleum bowl with your cat?
[00:24:22] <fyngyrz> cats in heat tend to get down on the floor and push themselves around, tail up in the air
[00:24:28] <fyngyrz> "floor surfing"
[00:24:34] <RandomFactor> oh yeah, true dat
[00:24:49] <fyngyrz> yowling all the time, usually
[00:24:58] <fyngyrz> "do me! do me!"
[00:25:00] <RandomFactor> Yes, SO FRIKKIN MUCH
[00:25:13] <fyngyrz> lo. Solution is a vet visit away
[00:25:18] <AzumaHazuki> i can sympathize entirely
[00:25:19] <Bytram> took another couple months of patient, gentle treatment, but one day I was in my recliner reading a book and I hear "Ba-dump, Ba-dump" and then Poof! she jumped up into my lap and purred her little heart out.
[00:25:20] <RandomFactor> sure i'll pet you -> BUTT IN THE AIR
[00:25:47] <RandomFactor> or worse in your face
[00:25:58] <fyngyrz> converted ferals can be extrrmely affectionate
[00:26:11] <fyngyrz> lol Az
[00:26:14] <RandomFactor> in theory this one was ferral
[00:26:34] <fyngyrz> all of ours (5) are converted ferals
[00:26:45] <RandomFactor> kids saw it outside hospital but couldn't get near it (itty bitty kitten)
[00:26:52] <fyngyrz> catch 'em, neuter 'em, and gentle them down.
[00:26:57] <RandomFactor> living off crickets and whatnot i guess
[00:27:13] <RandomFactor> next day one of 'em got it to eat and snagged it.
[00:27:27] <RandomFactor> i got home from a trip an "So, guess what we have?"
[00:28:03] <RandomFactor> rides around on my shoulder, nice safe place away from crazy brutish dog
[00:28:23] <fyngyrz> nice
[00:28:34] <AzumaHazuki> cuuuuuute <3
[00:29:27] <fyngyrz> Here's 4 of our current five: https://www.flickr.com
[00:29:28] <upstart> ^ 03itty-bitty-kitty-comittee
[00:29:33] <Bytram> Awwwww! Would the cat be named Sylvester, by chance?
[00:29:47] * Bytram watched lotsa cartoons when he was growing up
[00:29:55] <Bytram> clicky
[00:30:13] <AzumaHazuki> so cute :3 i don't think i could handle 5, but one or two would be good
[00:30:22] <fyngyrz> we have oodles of room
[00:30:23] <Bytram> they look *well* fed
[00:30:28] <fyngyrz> oh, they are
[00:31:07] <RandomFactor> Pumpkin is a calico kinda like the third one (my daughters named it, and the dog, which is 'Patch')
[00:31:09] <Bytram> so how is it that 3 of 'em are staring right at the camera, and the 4th is giving you a perfect profile shot, instead?
[00:31:47] <RandomFactor> get it...Pumpkin Patch... yes, i think it's revenge
[00:31:56] * Bytram discovers text below bottom of his screen, starts reading
[00:32:14] <fyngyrz> I called em; the one that didn't look is newish and still a bit stand-offish
[00:32:36] <Bytram> nice bit of prose there -- got a LOL from me, too!
[00:32:37] <fyngyrz> Herre's #5: https://www.flickr.com
[00:32:42] <upstart> ^ 03Medic - A rescue
[00:32:57] <fyngyrz> she was a real rescue; run over, pelvis and leg broken, etc
[00:33:39] <fyngyrz> Pics along timeline here: https://www.flickr.com
[00:33:41] <upstart> ^ 03Med ( https://www.flickr.com )
[00:33:48] <AzumaHazuki> you did a good thing...
[00:34:04] <fyngyrz> thankee, Bytram
[00:34:09] <fyngyrz> and Az
[00:34:16] * Bytram reads and cringes
[00:34:22] <fyngyrz> yeah, was awful
[00:34:32] <fyngyrz> but she's happy and healthy now, so there's that
[00:35:26] * AzumaHazuki reads X-rays, tries not to grit her teeth too hard...
[00:35:45] <RandomFactor> Cats are amazingly resilient, but that's still crazy. Hope she has a long healthy active life.
[00:36:09] <AzumaHazuki> that cat lost two or three of her nine lives with that one...there is no way in hell that should be possible
[00:36:15] <fyngyrz> So far so good - it's been 5 years
[00:36:24] <fyngyrz> vet said the same thing
[00:36:42] <AzumaHazuki> how on earth do you set that many broken bones?
[00:37:36] -!- arti|wor_ has quit [Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
[00:38:05] <fyngyrz> only the front leg was set. The pelvis... we thought she'd be a cripple, if she survived, but it healed in a fashion not "normal", but sufficient to give her nothing more obvious than a bit of an odd gait
[00:38:20] <fyngyrz> her hips look narrow (and they are)
[00:38:38] <fyngyrz> she doesn't jump real high - a chair is about the limit
[00:38:49] <AzumaHazuki> this is the sort of thing some people call "miracle." this should not have been possible
[00:39:05] <fyngyrz> we nursed her for quite a while
[00:39:34] <fyngyrz> but she was definitely a tough little bear and the credit really belongs to her
[00:40:29] <fyngyrz> Az: vet would say "ah, the miracle cat" when we brought her in for shots, etc.
[00:40:37] <AzumaHazuki> :')
[00:41:05] <Bytram> wow
[00:41:11] <Bytram> just. plain. WOW!
[00:41:27] <Bytram> Amazing story! Thanks so much for brightening my day!
[00:41:31] <fyngyrz> my pleasure
[00:42:05] <fyngyrz> I'll tell you what was heartbreaking... the xray showed her tummy full of gravel... she'd been eating it, probably near starving
[00:42:22] <fyngyrz> now she's fat and definitely sassy. NO gravel. :)
[00:42:27] <AzumaHazuki> yeah that...that hit me in a weak spot
[00:42:32] <Bytram> oh, so it... passed?
[00:42:35] <fyngyrz> yep
[00:42:48] <AzumaHazuki> i've never eaten gravel but there have been plenty of times, some in recent years even, where i'd gone dumpster diving for food
[00:42:49] <Bytram> that had to hurt, especially with a shattered hip bone
[00:42:54] <RandomFactor> no question that girl had stones
[00:42:55] <fyngyrz> she was literally a basket case at that point, so we were intimately familiar with her output
[00:43:04] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:43:04] <fyngyrz> vet told us to watch to make sure she passed that
[00:43:16] <fyngyrz> rf; yes indeex,
[00:43:20] <Bytram> speaking of food, I needs to get me some. biab
[00:43:21] <fyngyrz> indeed, even
[00:43:22] <Bytram> afk
[00:45:37] <fyngyrz> life can be freaking awful, and the "social safety net".... isn't.
[00:46:11] <AzumaHazuki> this is one reason I go up Uzzard's ass and out his left ear with a rototiller when he starts his bullshit about that up
[00:46:25] <fyngyrz> every time one of our "tough shit conservatives" gets to ranting, I have to restrain myself
[00:46:39] <AzumaHazuki> the man is never going to learn until he himself reaches the nadir of despair, and i hope for his sake it happens soon
[00:46:41] <fyngyrz> yeah
[00:47:31] <AzumaHazuki> he tries to disguise it with insisting that he's about freedom over everything. when i told him that someone is not free if they don't have the means to exercise that freedom, he just went "semantics."
[00:47:53] <AzumaHazuki> yet, later on when he accused me of wanting to remove peoples' free will and i said you can't remove peoples' free will, only constrain their actions, he said that was "semantics" too
[00:47:57] <AzumaHazuki> which means he made my point for me
[00:48:09] <fyngyrz> Honestly, I find it's best not to engage. These people have a horiffic mindset, and it has, at least in my experience, been impossible to get them to see past their own needs and desires... and it doesn't seem to help when they get the short end of the stick, either. Rationalizations out the hoohoo
[00:48:39] <AzumaHazuki> oh he goes completely nuts. total ape-out. and somehow thinks he's some paragon of rationality and virtue
[00:48:51] <AzumaHazuki> i will never comprehend people like this. something is broken here.
[00:49:00] <fyngyrz> agree
[00:49:11] <fyngyrz> more than agree, even
[00:53:08] <fyngyrz> running off now. cul, folks

[14:03:16] <janrinok> What is palemoon up to - it's what I use and I can't say that I've noticed a problem
[14:04:53] <FatPhil> they removed the single configuration option that caused me to quit firefox when they removed it and move to palemoon.
[14:05:59] <janrinok> I obviously don't use that option, or haven't noticed if something has stopped working if I do...! All my add-ons and extensions work so I am happy.
[14:06:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> FatPhil: ...which option was that?

[14:21:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> that's...a rather odd thing to remove.
[14:21:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> It seems unlikely that there was a lot of maintenance being done to the code for that.
[14:22:21] <janrinok> it might have been a regression while working on something related...
[14:23:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> I found a thread on their forum where it's specified that it "was removed as of 27.7.0 and will not be reinstated".
[14:23:35] <janrinok> strange decision
[14:24:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> The 27.7.0 release notes say: Removed the "ask every time" policy for cookies. For granular control, please use any of the excellent available extensions to regulate cookie use on a per-site or per-url basis.
