[06:39:14] <chromas> g'day Sulla. How's Alaska?
[06:58:11] <Sulla> I finally got to take a break
[06:58:56] <Sulla> After 22 days of working 12+ hour days I got to drive a car to fairbanks from anchorage for a rental and was tipped 500 bucks
[06:59:42] <Sulla> Then my wife and kids got in so now I'm chilling with them for a few days before getting back to work. How you doin?
[07:14:26] <chromas> Regular. Nothing exciting here. Had some panhandlers fighting at a McDonald's the other day
[07:15:08] <chromas> And I found a poo coil on the sidewalk. California's moving on up (to our state) I guess

[10:35:38] <Bytram> coffee++
[10:35:38] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4823
[10:49:06] <SemperOSS> ¡Hola! Bytram. How goes?
[10:49:31] <SemperOSS> Coffee++ whil I wait
[10:49:31] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4824
[10:49:35] <Bytram> Off my sleep pattern...
[10:50:06] <Bytram> went to bed a couple hours before the SpaceX launch, set my alarm to get up to watch it, turned off my alarm, and went back to sleep.
[10:50:36] <Bytram> A bit over 7 hours after initial bedtime woke up...
[10:50:52] <Bytram> and that was about 2.5 hours ago.
[10:51:09] <SemperOSS> I know the feeling. At least it is not quite the same as the Apollo launches in our youth
[10:51:16] <Bytram> apollo++
[10:51:16] <Bender> karma - apollo: 1
[10:51:29] <Bytram> Did you get into model rocketry?
[10:51:35] <Bytram> Was popular in my area.
[10:51:51] <Bytram> Estes and Century were the big brands
[10:51:57] <Bytram> moreso Estes, IIRC
[10:52:07] <Bytram> and how are YOU today?
[10:53:10] <SemperOSS> No, we never had the money for it — and I would probably have blown up the whole neighbourhood, had I tried to launch one
[10:53:49] <Bytram> They were not *that* powerful!
[10:54:33] <Bytram> They were a bit pricey for me, so was extra careful in their construction so as not to waste a launch.
[10:55:04] <Bytram> In the end, found other sources we could use to construct the rocket so the only cost ended up being the engines and the igniters.
[10:55:17] <SemperOSS> Well, sleep pattern not good, as yours. Somehow managed to use an awful lot of time trying to reorganise my E-mails and remove the cruft from the previous millennium (OK, the last few years, really), which got late and I woke early, so ...
[10:55:27] <Bytram> nod nod
[10:55:32] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Prolonged Transmission of a Resistant Bacterial Strain in a Northern California Hospital - http://sylnt.us - strained-relationship
[10:55:45] <Bytram> so... about time to nod off back to sleep?
[10:57:17] <SemperOSS> Can't! I have promised to give a friend a lift, which means half an hour's drive to get to him, pick him up and two other people. Then there's an hour's drive further away from me to drop them off, then a couple of hour's wait and then everything in reverse.
[10:57:37] <Bytram> nap-while-waiting++
[10:58:07] <SemperOSS> That's the idea. I bring my Kindle too, should I need some encouragement
[10:58:21] <Bytram> and a copy of "War and Peace"
[10:59:17] <SemperOSS> No, it is actually A Storm of Swords by George R R Martin, the third book of the series
[11:00:08] <Bytram> not familiar with the series, but then again it has been a couple decades since I was on a book reading binge where I'd read a book (or two) each weekend.
[11:00:09] <SemperOSS> Probably slightly less sleep-inducing than Tolstoy
[11:00:30] <Bytram> Hmmm, "Tolstoy" looks like "Toy Story"
[11:00:46] <SemperOSS> Game of Thrones, if you don't know
[11:01:00] <Bytram> appreciate that, though I did make the connection.
[11:01:02] <SemperOSS> I'm going to watch Toy Story 4 this week
[11:01:28] <Bytram> Also, fwiw, almost never watch TV -- got too much on my plate that I would rather spend my time on
[11:02:34] <SemperOSS> Same here. I tend to read, even when watching TV, which would mostly be the news
[11:03:15] <Bytram> Looks like the Raspberry Pi Model 4 is not actually going to be available until late july / early august
[11:03:20] <SemperOSS> I find reading in between all the other stuff quite relaxing and seems to refocus my brain
[11:04:02] <Bytram> no argument there -- great way to get centered! Turn off all the eternal stimuli and focus on Just. One. Thing.
[11:04:24] <SemperOSS> I am probably going to buy one to upgrade my mail server and as a backup for the firewall, which is currently an old HP laptop (built-in non-interruptible power supply)
[11:04:47] <Bytram> UPS++
[11:04:47] <Bender> karma - ups: 2
[11:05:05] <SemperOSS> What has United Parcel Service to do with this????
[11:05:16] <Bytram> about as much as the USPS?
[11:05:45] <Bytram> ;)
[11:06:11] <SemperOSS> Well, it is called the Post Office over here, not USPS
[11:06:29] <Bytram> that's the colloquial name, yes. =)
[11:06:48] <Bytram> =g counterloquial
[11:06:48] <upstart> [0 results]
[11:07:04] <Bytram> AHA! A neologism!
[11:07:09] <SemperOSS> And for some reason, USPS reminds me of PTSD
[11:10:12] <SemperOSS> The first time I heard about neologisms was this xkcd: https://xkcd.com
[11:10:12] <upstart> ^ 03xkcd: Malamanteau
[11:11:12] <Bytram> likewise! and that was absolutely *brilliant* (aka devious)
[11:13:45] <SemperOSS> I find most of Randall Munroe's stuff good to brilliant
[11:14:04] <Bytram> nod nod
[11:14:33] <Bytram> occasionally a bit too off-the-wall, but I usually see where he's coming from... kinda like a "Farside for Ners"
[11:14:36] <Bytram> ugh
[11:14:40] <Bytram> occasionally a bit too off-the-wall, but I usually see where he's coming from... kinda like a "Farside for Nerds"
[11:14:46] <SemperOSS> Change of subject. I have got my replacement laptop, only to find it has problems recognising the trackpad :-(
[11:15:03] <Bytram> so, a bit off track? Sorry to hear that!!!
[11:15:25] <Bytram> btw, very nice lappy you had there. thanks for the info!
[11:15:29] <SemperOSS> It is a Huawei Matebook 13, so maybe it is better that way, so the Chinese cannot track me
[11:15:37] <Bytram> lol
[11:15:52] <Bytram> run all your comms thru a pi-hole
[11:17:13] <SemperOSS> I could arrange that through my RPi home server. But I will probably wait until the RPi4 is out, faster and with more RAM and whatnot.
[11:17:51] <Bytram> like I mentioned earlier, could be a while.
[11:18:23] <Bytram> is about time I get myself going about getting ready for work.
[11:18:27] <Bytram> nice chatting with ya!
[11:18:45] <Bytram> and, if I don't "see" you before you leave, have a great day!
[11:18:59] <SemperOSS> And you. Have a nice day and try not to overwork yourself.
[11:19:02] <SemperOSS> Laters
[11:19:20] <Bytram> have a shorter shift today, so that helps!
[11:19:21] <Bytram> laters
[11:41:37] <SemperOSS> If anybody is into hardcore IC porn, https://zeptobars.com is the place to go. And the site *is* suitable for work ;-)
[11:41:39] <upstart> ^ 03ZeptoBars ( https://zeptobars.com )
[12:09:27] <SemperOSS> I have just dropped a story about the internet outage yesterday. If an editor is present and want to run the story, it may be an idea to bump it up the queue so as not to lose its relevance entirely.
