[00:12:09] <SoyGuest61688> Selecting a classic was probably a bad choice by the test setters. (for values of "probably" close to "definitely")
[00:12:56] <SoyGuest61688> I was just wondering whether the kinds of comprehension tests I did as a kid are being passed with flying colours by linguistic AIs presently.
[00:14:09] <SoyGuest61688> "We are watching Spot run". Sure, I bet it can do that. I bet Ovid's harder. Nobody mention Joyce!

[10:09:18] <Runaway1956> dronebl ban for London PIA VPN server

[10:09:27] <systemd> ^ 03DroneBL :: Lookup :: 89.238.154.117
[10:09:53] <Runaway1956> Which is to say, anyone trying to connect through PIA London to the IRC channel will fail
[10:12:49] <janrinok> Runaway1956, is your next submission about AK-47 toting paedophiles pointing their weapon at young girls who haven't armed themselves with a handgun?
[10:13:14] <Runaway1956> LOL
[10:13:16] <janrinok> Just looking at the tech connection there - Ah, on Instagram.
[10:13:39] <Runaway1956> Yes, that was the reason I submitted it, instagram
[10:13:51] <janrinok> go for it - I know you can do it ;)
[10:14:16] <Runaway1956> we know the internet is populated by predators, instagram apparently empowers them - according to the article
[10:14:26] <janrinok> yeah, I've read it
[10:15:05] <Runaway1956> Now, we are aware that I'm just the messenger, I don't necessarily *agree with * every article I submit
[10:15:25] <janrinok> I wasn't suggesting for one moment that you did!
[10:15:47] <Runaway1956> No, but I just wanted to make sure, lol
[10:15:56] <janrinok> I suspect that you are more of an AR-15 man
[10:16:18] <janrinok> ... but that is entirely speculation on my part
[10:16:34] <Runaway1956> not really - I've never owned one, the closest I've come to an AR-15 was the M-14
[10:17:23] <Runaway1956> I'm sorta considering an M-4, but haven't decided that it's worth the money - I don't really need another gun
[10:17:28] <janrinok> I've got a reasonably sharp pocket knife now, but I've had to carry weapons ranging from a sidearm to a nuke.
[10:18:01] <Runaway1956> you carried a nuke? Not me, I just left the damned things in the magazine where they belong
[10:18:25] <janrinok> I spent some time flying on nuclear bombers, so yes
[10:18:38] <Runaway1956> ahhhhhh, got ya
[10:19:19] <janrinok> never got to make a car park though. I am grateful for that.
[10:19:22] <Runaway1956> I guess I could say I carried a nuke then, since the ship carried them, and I was part of the crew
[10:20:15] <Runaway1956> I don't think I slept for two weeks after I discovered I was sleeping about 70 feet from a pair of nukes, lol
[10:20:27] <Runaway1956> finally decided that if they went off, I'd never know about it
[10:20:40] <Runaway1956> St. Peter would be the one to inform me of the incident
[10:21:12] <janrinok> we carried them in case we ran into an paedophile Instagram user - its the only way to be sure, you know
[10:21:37] <Runaway1956> Phhhhht - nuke from orbit, not 50,000 feet
[10:22:27] <janrinok> we dropped from a few hundred feet - no point in flying in missile range of everything for miles around
[10:24:34] <Runaway1956> I don't much like that method - better to launch the nuke, and let it detonate fifteen miles away
[10:26:52] <Runaway1956> I'm about tired of fooling with bbc.co.uk - can't get TLS handshake from them
[10:26:55] <janrinok> you have to match the weapon (and yield) to the target. It is much easier today with GPS guidance etc. These were free-fall so you want to be accurate. You only have to be a fraction off from level at 50000 for a free fall weapon to miss by miles.
[10:27:12] <Runaway1956> BBC.com loads alright though
[10:27:18] <janrinok> BBC works fine for me
[10:27:40] <janrinok> try https://www.bbc.co.uk

[10:31:28] <janrinok> didn't plan on doing many repeat gigs
[10:34:14] <janrinok> Runaway1956, why aren't you lying on the ground groaning about how much you have eaten, or alternatively elbowing passed other people who want to buy the same TV as you?
[10:34:56] <Runaway1956> I eat in something like moderation, and I don't do crowds
[10:35:47] <Runaway1956> You won't find me waiting in lines very often - did enough of that in the Navy
[10:37:03] <janrinok> are you sure that you are American?
[10:37:41] <Runaway1956> I'm American, I just don't hang with the Lowest Common Denominator portion of the populaiton
[10:38:20] <janrinok> and Britain invented queuing, if you don't queue politely someone will let you know the error of your ways pretty sharpish.
[10:38:35] <chromas> He already said he doesn't need another gun, so clearly he's not american

[10:39:16] <chromas> Looks like exec died
[10:39:20] <janrinok> yup
[10:39:26] <Runaway1956> Chocolate milf? Interesting . . .
[10:39:34] <janrinok> I'll take two please
[10:40:15] <janrinok> gtg and start getting lunch ready
[10:40:28] <janrinok> back in a while - carry on without me :)
[10:43:48] <chromas> Yep. He gets the chocolate milf and immediately abandons us. I see how it is.
[10:44:10] <Runaway1956> I'd probably do the same

[14:34:46] <janrinok> lol
[14:35:12] <janrinok> perhaps they were all walking there to keep fit...?
[14:35:35] <chromas> to walmart?
[14:35:40] * chromas wheezes
[14:36:04] <chromas> They must be doing all their shopping in the cloud
[14:36:08] <janrinok> its the new American way - exercise and eat sensibly
[14:36:51] <janrinok> eat more vegetables and less meat, be a friend to all, be respectful -- Haven't you been paying attention?
[14:37:01] <chromas> actually, as a 7th-day-adventist-saturated town, we do have a lot of healthy people
[14:37:08] <chromas> they like to eat nuts and stuff
[14:37:15] <janrinok> I'm not convinced....
[14:37:34] <chromas> eat healthy but still believe in a young earth
[14:44:54] <RandomFactor> Hot Water heater now holds water. Pilot won't light.
[14:45:04] <RandomFactor> I am not amused.
[14:45:59] <janrinok> you are never satisfied, are you?
[14:46:25] <RandomFactor> I'm gonna boil a bunch of water and take a bath soon. It worked in the old west...
[14:46:56] <janrinok> don't you need a scantily clad buxom wench from the local bar to help when you do that?
[14:47:15] <RandomFactor> bath optional?
[14:47:42] <chromas> mandatory
[14:47:44] <chromas> and make it bubble
[14:48:02] <RandomFactor> i guess that's a good point. Otherwise pouring in the boiling water would kind of suck
[14:48:33] * RandomFactor refuses to consider how they made the bath bubble in the old west
[14:48:34] <chromas> Yeah. Where would you put it without the bath?
[14:49:38] <RandomFactor> I suppose i can go get a long bbq lighter
[14:49:58] <RandomFactor> The more i am shopping on black friday the happier i'm not
[14:50:10] <chromas> They made the bubbles the same way you heat your water
[14:52:21] <RandomFactor> Drug Cartels are terrorists? I guess with the war on drugs losing some mindshare it makes sense to reclasify some things. -sigh-
[14:53:37] <RandomFactor> Though if someone goes around killing folks willy nilly I'm not that particular about their motivations anyway.
[14:54:05] <chromas> Step 0: Create black market. Step 1: give it some guns
[15:20:39] <RandomFactor> Sounds....Super American.

[18:45:33] <janrinok> For those not paying attention: The knife wielding individual on London Bridge this afternoon wounded several people, some serious. He was initially engaged by passing civilians until armed police arrived on the scene. At some point he managed to open his coat and reveal an explosive vest. He was killed by a police marksman.
[18:46:16] <janrinok> The explosive vest was later found to be a dummy. The incident has been declared as a terrorist incident by the Met Police.
