[02:23:46] <chromas> Moar email
[02:27:29] <Runaway1956> Can't decide whether the Japanese noodles are better than Chinese.
[02:28:01] <Runaway1956> They are both noodly, kinda like Chthulhu, or the Spaghettin Monster.
[02:31:51] * Runaway1956 wonders if TheMightyBuzzard just gave up and stopped dragging his tired ass around
[02:32:31] <Bytram> well, if you had ever been touched by his noodly appendage, then the FSM would be your choice... since you are still wondering, I would suggest the answer is egg noodles. ;)
[02:32:49] <Bytram> you mean just up and plopped it somewhere?
[02:33:14] <Runaway1956> Yeah, when my ass drags badly, I look for somewhere to drop it
[02:33:30] <Runaway1956> I hate those splinters in my ass, so I stop dragging as quickly as possible
[02:33:43] <chromas> it's why jesus invented pants
[02:33:45] <Bytram> If you *really* want to know, I *could* text him, but I think you might find him then giving you additional 'attention' in the future.
[02:34:02] <Bytram> or kilts
[02:34:13] <Runaway1956> I just texted him, on IRC
[02:34:18] <Bytram> lol
[02:34:25] <Runaway1956> what happens in IRC is supposed to stay in IRC
[02:34:32] <chromas> I dunno how long a kilt would protect against splinters when you're sliding

[02:34:39] <Bender> Added quote 941
[02:35:43] <Bytram> I suppose depends on what you are sliding on
[02:35:53] <chromas> Something splintery
[02:36:11] <Runaway1956> he would have been sliding down that tongue and groove roof of his, I think.
[02:37:10] <Bytram> I could just image the sound that would make as one crosses each seam... padump Ow! padump Ow! padump Ow!
[02:38:19] <Runaway1956> Been cold for two days, now I'm hot - maybe it's menopausal hormones?
[02:38:35] <Bytram> would prolly see much faster cycling than that
[02:39:16] <Bytram> they call them hot *flashes*, not hot ramp-ups and cool-downs
[02:39:39] <Runaway1956> Yeah, but those are for women, especially fast women

[03:35:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> no to worry, i got a sack of limes on the kitchen counter
[03:35:25] <Bytram> Limey!

[03:38:53] <carny> Sulla: https://www.tennessean.com
[03:38:54] <systemd> ^ Tennessee Tech student tests negative for coronavirus, TDH says
[03:57:51] <Sulla> Good to know
[03:59:17] <Bytram> that's one of the few times when a negative is a positive.
[03:59:48] <Bytram> And, with that, it is time for me to hit the sack. Have a great night everybody!
[04:00:01] <Sulla> Have a good one
[04:00:54] <Sulla> Looks like the US had some 800-1600 people fly in from the regions in China with the issues, flew in through SFO and JFK and out from there.
[04:08:34] <carny> and nobody is quarantining them
[04:08:59] <carny> so the usa will have outbreaks just like everybody else soon
[04:09:06] <Sulla> Yep
[04:09:44] <Sulla> I have a meeting tomorrow morning then I'll be working home for the remainder of the week until we know how the patients in the US
[04:09:47] <Sulla> are handling treatment
[04:10:20] <Sulla> I'm not too worried for me or the wife, but youngest kid would have significant issues, has a very hard time with the flu as it is
[04:11:14] <Sulla> Lots of students in my town that just got home from China
[04:13:11] <Sulla> Bejing's company busses were just shut down
[04:14:27] <carny> oh wow
[04:14:46] <carny> what town and how close to you are they?
[04:21:44] <Sulla> Town in oregon and very
[04:22:09] <Sulla> West coast's problem is going to be if it jumps from folks coming back from China to the homeless population
[04:23:37] <Sulla> If the reports from China are to be believed, they were having some success with certain AIDs medications that work as antivirals
[04:40:30] <carny> wow good luck to you and your family
[04:41:00] <carny> this thing scares me like the swine flu did
[04:41:12] <Sulla> Shanghai just shut down transportation
[04:41:55] <carny> i think the chinese are going to have some problems responding due to all the government corruption but they seem to be getting the right attitude now
[04:46:51] <Sulla> On their social media I saw a lot of posts about the CCP losing the "Mandate of Heavan"
[04:46:55] <Sulla> so CCP could have some issues
[04:47:33] <Sulla> CCP might have slow-walked a response hoping it would blow over, SARS cost them 1% gdp
[04:59:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> people actually freak out about this stuff?
[05:01:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't plan on even thinking about it again after this discussion until there are more than a hundred cases in TN.
[05:02:09] <Sulla> I did't care about SARS, but this one has me concerned
[05:02:47] <Sulla> Few years ago there was a team in North Carolina working on Corono Virus research, one of that team went to work at the Wuhan
[05:02:50] <Sulla> bioweapon facility
[05:03:11] <Sulla> This virus has 14 day incubation where it can transmit without any symptoms being present
[05:03:28] <Sulla> Plus china's extreme measures makes me concerned its much worse than they are claiming
[05:03:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> dude, it's very rarely fatal and there aren't more than a few cases on the entire continent
[05:04:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, that's just china taking those measures because it's an authoritarian country and CAN take those measures
[05:06:23] <Sulla> Yeah, but shutting down their factory worker transportation in Bejing, Shanghai, and Wuhan?
[05:06:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think ima go to japan and start up a restaurant where i come out with a lawn chair, a grill, and a beer and cook folks dinner.
[05:06:54] <Sulla> Would probably be very successful
[05:08:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> china ain't under any obligation to look caring. it can do whatever it needs to do for the good of the nation and anyone complaining too much gets imprisoned or killed to death.

[07:27:14] <carny> TheMightyBuzzard: the point about talking about it now is to not be caught by surprise when it does reach 100 cases in tn
[07:51:28] <FatPhil> we've started to be quite a popular tourist destination with the chinese, but most of their cruises are in summer, so there's time for this to burn itself out before that happens. If quarantine works. Which it won't. :/
[08:00:15] <carny> yeah i think those thousands of chinese people who already flew out will be enough to spread it to the rest of the world
[08:00:55] <carny> i wonder if that's not the ccp's idea so they're not the only country that gets disadvantaged in the global market
[08:19:18] <FatPhil> wondering why they're constructing hospitals with concrete - isn't this precisely the situation that field hospitals are designed for. M*A*S*H would have been up and running in 2 days.
[08:23:53] <FatPhil> Whoever recommended VLC for streaming - thanks, works perfectly!
[08:24:18] <FatPhil> n.w. very slow construction of hospitals in Wuhan...
[08:28:13] <FatPhil> well, I say perfectly, the UI is still the most obnoxious thing I've seen in years, and that includes politicians' speeches and political commentators' commentaries on those speeches.

[19:01:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> Since my mom died and I inherited a bunch of financial instruments from her, my taxes have been sufficiently complicated that I felt better about paying H&R Block for tax prep and "peace of mind" guarantee (where they pay any underpayment + any penalties if they do it wrong) than I did about doing it myself and risking getting audited over something.
[19:02:42] <Sulla> Something I miss about Alaska is that you will not be audited if you make less than 1m/year
