[02:29:56] <RandomFactor> What is it about getting dried off after a shower that makes a dog so darned happy
[02:30:34] <AzumaHazuki> imagine if you had a fur coat on you could never take off, and it got all wet
[02:31:22] <Sirfinkus> isn't that called being turkish?
[02:32:12] <RandomFactor> Turkish people like getting dried off?
[02:33:12] <Sirfinkus> joke about turks being hairy, I have a few turkish friends and they're all hairy as fuck

[09:00:11] <boru> So, I took a stab at decentralising and securing communications using obsfuscated protocols.

[11:19:15] <upstart> https://en.wikipedia.org - IPS panel - Wikipedia
[11:19:43] <Bytram> IPS (in-plane switching) is a screen technology for liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). It was designed to solve the main limitations of the twisted nematic field effect (TN) matrix LCDs which were prevalent in the late 1980s. These limitations included strong viewing angle dependence and low-quality color reproduction. In-plane switching involves arranging and switching the orientation of the molecules of the liquid crystal (LC) layer
[11:19:43] <Bytram> between the glass substrates. This is done, essentially, parallel to these glass plates.[1]
