[00:06:24] <Bender> karma - coffee: 5091
[00:06:33] <Runaway1956_> this is going to be one of those days
[00:10:12] <Bytram> Runaway1956_: My favorite description: "Today has been one of those weeks."
[00:11:04] <Runaway1956_> the wife seems to have norovirus, and I may have parvovirus
[00:11:19] <Runaway1956_> thankfully, no rabies
[00:11:40] <Bytram> =g norovirus
[00:11:41] <systemd> https://www.cdc.gov - Norovirus | About Norovirus | CDC
[00:13:42] <Bytram> Runaway1956_: Please give my best to your wife! Though not officially diagnosed, all the symptoms I experienced point to my having had it. Got to the point that I seriously considered calling an ambulance because I knew I could not drive the 10 minutes it would take to get the hospital without both puking and crapping.
[00:14:29] <Bytram> Be very mindful of the risk of becoming dehydrated... it is no laughing matter with all those fluids coming out of both ends.
[00:14:33] <Runaway1956_> Actually, we aren't feeling good, but don't know what we have - I just threw those two out there
[00:14:45] <Bytram> oh, okay.
[00:14:53] <Runaway1956_> especially the parvo - that's a dog disease
[00:15:24] <Runaway1956_> =g parvovirus
[00:15:25] <systemd> https://www.akc.org - What Every Owner Should Know About Parvo in Dogs – American ...
[00:15:33] <Bytram> Well, hopefully my experience can save you some misery if it ever does happen to you... and you'll be mindful of what to watch for.
[00:18:07] <Bytram> >>> studies have shown that you can still spread norovirus for two weeks or more after you feel better.
[00:18:13] <Bytram> YIKES!
[00:18:38] <Runaway1956_> yeah, that's a bit more scary than most communicable diseases
[00:19:18] <Bytram> Need to be wary when eating at a buffet; an infected person might touch the handle of a serving spoon or ladle. It's a good idea to clean your hands each time after you go to the buffet.
[00:20:19] <Runaway1956_> this one is interesting - https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com
[00:20:20] <systemd> ^ Nashville Officer Charged With Murder Was Criticized Earlier for Not Shooting a Suspect - The Truth About Guns
[00:20:44] <Runaway1956_> don't shoot a suspect, get reprimanded, shoot a suspect, go to trial for murder
[00:21:07] <Runaway1956_> it's the culture, more than anything, that needs to be fixed
[00:21:16] <Runaway1956_> but no one really has any answers on fixing the culture
[00:23:04] <chromas> shoot the culture
[00:23:13] <Bytram> club it!

[00:26:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> IIRC, the Culture could rebuild people as long as their brain was intact...oh wait you're not talking about Iain M. Banks novels, are you.
[00:28:48] <Bytram> Nope.

[01:28:58] <carny> Bytram: eating at a buffet during a pandemic is insane no matter how much you wash your hands or take other precautions
[01:36:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> chameleon++
[01:36:28] <Bender> karma - chameleon: 21
[01:36:47] <Bytram> carny: It need not be a pandemic or even an epidemic. All it takes is a single infected person who has gone through the buffet ahead of you and handled one of the serving utensils that you then laid hold of. My case of what I have come to believe was norovirus came about from attending a pot-luck Superbowl party.

[01:45:16] <chromas> carny: is there one that lets you do searches even with javascript?
[01:45:34] <carny> probably
[01:45:43] <chromas> well find it and we can scrape it
[01:45:47] <chromas> or make an api or something
[01:46:01] <carny> there are tools that students and researchers have to be using i'm sure
[01:46:15] <carny> that would be amazing
[01:46:23] <chromas> need something like google patents for it
[01:46:45] <chromas> Because the uspto has a website but it's the worst fpos I've ever seen in my entire life. Worse than Hitler, even.
[01:46:57] <carny> this whole flu thing really makes me want to get back into hard science
[01:53:14] <chromas> Is that still legal?
[01:53:18] <Bytram> Science isn't *that* hard, is it?

[02:02:14] <Bytram> yeah, am already doing that...
[02:02:40] <Bytram> but if you are trying to make a point, let's just say this is not the best way to go about doing it, eh?
[02:03:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> Coming off like an unhinged conspiracy theorist never is.
[02:03:14] <AndyTheAbsurd> Especially when you actually have a point.
[02:03:47] <Bytram> Even a well-hinged conspiracy theorist is still a conspiracy theorist!

[14:17:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> 8-3 with a ground today. and yes, cat6 to every room except the bathroom and kitchen, so 10 gig will be a go if we ever get kit that supports it.
[14:18:34] <chromas> how will you plug in your smart fridge?
[14:18:55] <chromas> and what about flushing logs to the cloud?
[14:20:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> my fridge is smarter than a smart fridge. it sits there and keeps shit cold and doesn't connect itself to the internet. doing so would lead to me approaching it with tools and destruction in mind, thus self-preservation, thus smart.
[14:22:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> FYI: 8-3 with a ground is both expensive and a pain in the ass to run. we need four runs of it. two for condensing units, one for the french drain pump, one for the stove.
