[08:17:16] <FatPhil> The cunts at Barclays still have both of my bollocks in a vice, I need to change that.

[13:36:28] <AzumaHazuki> the more i see of this virus the more i'm convinced it's an inflammatory virus that happens to manifest symptoms mostly in the lungs, rather than a disease strictly of the upper respiratory tract
[13:36:37] <AzumaHazuki> the body is full of ACE2 receptors after all

[13:40:46] <Bytram> IIRC, aren't ACE2 inhibitors 'involved' (or counter-indicated, or something?) wrt psych drugs?
[13:48:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, think you're thinking seratonin-reuptake-inhibitors. ace inhibitors cause blood vessel dilation
[14:17:46] <FatPhil> The more I see of this virus the more I'm convinced it's so small it not only doesn't give a shit which bit of which animal's body it hijacks, it doesn't even know what a "bit of the body" is. To the virus, a single human cell is the size of a largish city to a human
[14:21:06] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: could well be. I just recall seeing a *recurring* warning about not to take certain... oh, wait, maybe that that was MAO inhibitors? Prolly just an early-morning brain fart.

[15:05:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, mao inhibitors would be capitalists, wouldn't they?
[15:24:30] <FatPhil> So Bytram was right, MAO inhibitors, not mao inhibitors.

[15:36:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> poor conan exiles devs. they pushed out an update this morning that started out bad and then just blew the fuck up in their faces. they have my deepest sympathies, despite me wanting to play and not being able to.
[15:38:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> patch caused anyone on win7 or wine/proton to be unable to play at all, confusion between steam and funcom ids leading to it looking like everyone's db was hosed and they had to start over, and servers no longer showing up in the server listing
[15:39:30] <Bytram> ruh roh!
[15:41:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> it just ain't no fun at all when you screw the pooch with an update.
[16:11:25] <Ingar> it just ain't no fun at all when you screw the pooch with an untested release. FTFY
[16:12:03] <FatPhil> yeah, I'm just about to change the DB schema on the thing I'm working on presently - hoping for zero implosions...

[16:17:18] <FatPhil> However, I'm scared, I'm gonna need to change 30 files and 100 lines of code at least just for this one little change :(
