[01:40:03] <AzumaHazuki> so a coworker went home early thinking she may have the 'rona and wanting to get a test (more than likely she was having a tantrum and just wanted a day off)
[01:40:47] <AzumaHazuki> this blew up into an HR fiasco. we're ALL now "suspected exposed," she can't come back till she gets her results (and we're already one short and our borrowed tech is on vacation this week)
[01:41:25] <AzumaHazuki> needless to say, if her results come back positive, we're all getting furloughed
[01:41:49] <AzumaHazuki> oh yes, and the other tech we borrowed is a student nurse, who had to call her hospital and let them know "hey so yeah i may have the virus"
[01:42:42] <AzumaHazuki> sweet holy mother Sailor Jupiter, fuck me sideways with a sandblaster
[01:49:16] <pinchy> black n decker or mikita?
[01:50:33] <AzumaHazuki> eh...maybe s/sandblaster/strapon/, still keeps the alliteration and isn't a horrible death

[03:24:37] <kyonko> AzumaHazuki, what did you do in your past life to deserve this?
[03:24:51] <AzumaHazuki> i have no idea.
[03:25:46] <AzumaHazuki> what few possible past-life memories i might have are very inconclusive; a couple of impressions of a style of subway car retired 5 years before i was born, an odd feeling of familiarity with photos of my hometown in the late 70s...
[03:26:09] <AzumaHazuki> also i think i was a man last time @_@
[03:27:04] <kyonko> re-incarnation
[03:27:26] <AzumaHazuki> possibly? i really wish i didn't believe in any of that stuff. life would be so much easier as an atheist/hard-materialist
[03:27:28] <kyonko> mexico catholics name their daughters "incarnation"
[03:27:46] <kyonko> its not so much belief but feels
[03:28:32] <kyonko> I think you push the envelope regarding yhwh, AzumaHazuki
[03:28:42] <AzumaHazuki> how so?
[03:28:49] <kyonko> with all your philosophy
[03:29:09] <AzumaHazuki> it doesn't take a PhD in philosophy to do a little comparative religion you know
[03:29:20] <kyonko> you aren't supposed to, ever
[03:29:43] <AzumaHazuki> who says?
[03:29:50] <kyonko> god
[03:29:52] <kyonko> yhwh
[03:30:49] <kyonko> its a convincing story
[03:30:56] <AzumaHazuki> ...no it's not?
[03:31:12] <kyonko> I mean, I wish I could be absolute darwinist, but I can't
[03:31:17] <kyonko> breed before death, success!
[03:31:56] <AzumaHazuki> why am i talking to you again...?
[03:32:21] <kyonko> I'll assume you have as bad luck and loneliness as I do
[03:32:50] <kyonko> I've held on to hard earned stability for 5 years, as in actual "work as defined by physics"

[06:52:37] <janrinok> ah!
[06:53:16] <chromas> My apache/php-fpm decided to start caulkblocking directories at random the other day and it won't quit
[06:53:49] <chromas> the bot's g'day script hits up a php script to generate strings ( :D ) and when it goes missing it dies
[06:53:51] <janrinok> you must have said something it took offence to
[06:59:56] <FatPhil> there's one letter missing from the php acronym - why?!?!??!
[07:00:25] <chromas> phpoo
[07:00:45] <FatPhil> that's the objectionably oriented version?
[07:01:24] <FatPhil> I was hacking perl/tk yesterday, adding a much-needed gimmick to my anagram helper.
[07:01:34] <chromas> Cheater
[07:01:48] <FatPhil> yup, 2020, and still using perl/tk. I'm madcore.
[07:02:34] <chromas> should be using gtk4
[07:02:51] <chromas> GNU/ToeKheese
[07:03:25] <FatPhil> gotta admit, the gimmick's excellent - I can scale the whole interface just using a slider, so when my eyes are tired I can make things more readable. (or if I'm on a tiny window I can cram everything in.)

[07:19:25] * exec excitedly inserts a lifetime supply of litter box tootsie rolls into FatPhil
[07:20:16] * janrinok has been backreading the 'discussion' between ethanol and kyonko. My brain hurts now
[07:25:12] <FatPhil> I can write a markov model for that, you can have an infinite amount of it if you like

[07:25:28] * exec furiously copies a far-flung galaxy of shell scripts for janrinok
[07:25:49] <janrinok> oooh, more shell scripts..... thx, I guess
[07:26:31] <chromas> import ciri;
[07:26:33] <janrinok> FatPhil, I must reluctantly decline your kind offer.
[07:27:11] * janrinok believes that if Markov is still alive he should have that state of being changed immediately
[07:27:54] <janrinok> although I suppose that is like blaming Einstein for the nuclear bomb
[07:29:31] <FatPhil> I blame Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper, because I like stirring up trouble.
[07:29:58] <FatPhil> yesterday's feature: http://fatphil.org
[07:30:54] <FatPhil> took me a whole fucking day to work out how to do that, tried a dozen different things, none of them worked. Even sample code from 'reilly books on perl/tk claiming to do the same thing didn't work.
[07:31:29] <FatPhil> attempt 12 took about 5 minutes. if only I'd tried things in a different order.
[07:31:53] <janrinok> and now you must ask yourself - why? OK, I can see the anagrams but do you do a lot of anagrams in your crosswords?
[07:32:26] <FatPhil> No, I anagram for fun as a hobby.
[07:32:35] <janrinok> fairy 'nuff

[07:35:44] <janrinok> got to keep the brain active! I'm spending a fair bit of time giggling at people in France who thought this virus thing would all be over in the next week or two. They cannot get their heads round the fact that 1. the virus will probably never go away completely, and 2. even a vaccine is at least 12 months away as an optimistic guess

[08:36:23] <FatPhil> Hahah - the stanford paper's been retracted (that's the one the failstream media is using to justify its "stop the lockdown" chest thumping)
[08:42:38] <chromas> Threatened for wrongthink
[08:45:25] <janrinok> FatPhil, are you referring to the Deadly Newt story - all the links seem good to me
[08:47:16] <chromas> I think he means a CoronAIDS paper that was in newses
[08:47:33] <janrinok> ah, I was having a bit of confusion there
[08:47:34] <FatPhil> nope, the 2nd Bendavid paper on Coronavirus (which largely repeats stuff from his first paper, which was the basis for the "20000 US deaths" prediction)
[08:47:43] * chromas speaks on behalf of those who can speak for themselves but haven't yet
[08:47:50] <janrinok> lol
[08:48:19] <chromas> I predict 69,420 deaths
[08:48:28] <FatPhil> The reason I did my predictions for US deaths was because as soon as I saw the 1st Bendavid paper, I knew it didn't pass the sniff test.
[08:48:47] <chromas> Maybe if Biden cosigned it
[08:49:09] <FatPhil> chromas: you're within about 0.5 S.E. of my prediction - so I reckon you've got a good chance of being right, slapper!
[08:50:16] <janrinok> Each day the BBC compare the death rates in various countries. Throughout Europe there is a levelling off and, in some case, a very slight reduction suggesting that social distancing is having an effect. However, the graph for the USA is continuing in a steady climb upwards - and they are thinking of lifting restrictions? They must be mad.
[08:50:18] <chromas> SLAPP-a-'rona & cheese
[08:51:13] <FatPhil> In doing my predictions, I split the US into 3 sets of states, that are moving out of sync with each other. You're seeing the slower states catch up.
[08:51:19] <chromas> If it's still climbing then that means physical distancing isn't working (even if we're not actually doing it)
[08:51:40] <FatPhil> Any country-wide intervention is wrongthink, different states are in different states.
[08:53:21] <FatPhil> thunderf00t predicted that if 1/6 of the population doesn't follow social distancing, then the disease can't be controlled.
[08:53:44] <FatPhil> c.f. the effects of 83% vaccination, that number passes the sniff test.
[09:21:02] <FatPhil> Nice sign just seen on a magawagon filmed at a rally: "Jesus is my vaccine". Wave 2 coming soon...
[09:26:45] <janrinok> surely can't be wave 2 - they haven't even got wave 1 finished yet ;(
[09:27:47] <FatPhil> for a lot of the states, that's very true
[09:28:14] <FatPhil> anyone got any urls for websites with hysterical graphs for individual states?
[09:28:27] <FatPhil> ooops, what a terrible typo that was, I'm so clumsy
[09:28:59] <janrinok> no, I've been looking for them - both historical and hysterical - but nobody seems to be publishing them
[09:29:42] <FatPhil> I used to have one that also did really deeply scientific predictions for every state and loads of countries
[09:29:57] <FatPhil> I closed that tab when it started doing Estonia predictions.
[09:30:02] <janrinok> not seen that - it would be useful
[09:30:33] <FatPhil> It became clear that my dead cat could shart more accurate preditions than their "science".
[09:31:46] <janrinok> I don't recall that being used as a measure during my degree days, but I agree it is as accurate as many other sources
