[00:11:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> they confirmed that they're all douchebags?
[00:12:03] <nutherguy_> No, 48 of them still deny that they are douchebags

[00:14:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> multivibrator is more fun to say
[00:15:28] <chromas> plus it hertz more
[00:18:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, got the jig built for cutting 1/16th inch veneers for making skateboard decks. gonna start with hickory since it's a little stronger than the standard maple. idgaf if it's a little heavier too, i got a lot more mass to multiply by velocity than back when i was 15. which is also why i'd rather have a nine layer hickory deck than a seven layer maple, at least until i put a few thousand miles on the hickory one and drop some
[00:18:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> weight.
[00:19:17] <chromas> How many layers in that burrito though?
[00:19:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> as many as you can fit
[00:19:45] <chromas> burritos++
[00:19:45] <Bender> karma - burritos: 4
[00:20:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd really like to go with five layers of bamboo and four of bois d'arc but i don't have either already handy like i do hickory.
[00:20:50] <nutherguy_> Ahhhhh - bodark - good stuff, even if I don't spell it all frenchified
[00:21:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> osage orange if you don't wanna hit the ' key

[00:23:41] <chromas> Yeah but did Ronald Wayne get cancer?
[00:23:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> gluing the little 1" strips together to make the veneers is going to be annoying and take time but it's not difficult or weaker

[00:25:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, plan on making four. one for me, one for TR, a longboard for his girl child, and one for a guy i used to skate with way back in the day.
[00:26:14] <chromas> Yeah but he pulled out prematurely
[00:27:01] * chromas creates a macro to paste in "Yeah but "
[00:27:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> i ain't makin no fucking double kick, skinny as hell, and concave as fuck decks either. that's about all you can find today but i'm a fat old 80s skater so ima make 80s decks.
[00:28:32] <chromas> Just call them retro and slap a pixelated logo on it and they'll sell like bacon hotcakes
[00:29:45] <FatPhil> call them "8-bit"

[00:30:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> if i end up making enough to sell, ima market em as decks for folks who was skaters back in the 80s and hate the new ones.

[01:04:49] <AzumaHazuki> that bullshit from her about how a government career was merely a means to establishing "God's kingdom on earth" should have been an instant disqualifier, and would have in a sane society

[01:22:47] <AzumaHazuki> and yeah, that means i have something to look forward to :) Hamilton's not bad either

[01:23:11] <nutherguy_> Mehhh - Hamilton is mediocre
[01:23:57] <AzumaHazuki> good enough for me. i'm used to much worse

[01:24:24] <AzumaHazuki> fuck Erie though, seriously. what a shithole. even trump didn't want to be there.

[01:37:27] <nutherguy_> Beruit City in '78 was a shitstorm - lucky it didn't turn into a shit hurricane
[01:37:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, sooner or later she'll learn that shitstorms are par for the course and start telling folks to get off her lawn like us.
[01:37:53] <nutherguy_> The US ain't gonna look like that by a long shot
[01:38:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> true, we have more grass n other green shit
[01:39:12] <nutherguy_> The green shit? Kids keep their babies home, so I don't have to deal with the green shit.
[01:39:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're not very adventurous in your diet then
[01:41:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> man that chili was good. unfortunately it looked and sounded like there were a couple dogs fighting under my blanket when i laid down from all the beans
[01:41:27] <AzumaHazuki> you idiots have no idea what just happened here, and i'm not even surprised enough to be upset :/ all this means is my planning was the correct course of action
[01:41:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, we've just seen plenty of shit over our lives and know this too shall pass
[01:41:53] <nutherguy_> Ho-hum . . . wake me up when anything serious happens
[01:42:07] <AzumaHazuki> it will pass. the problem is what happens before it does. i'm aware of similar moments in history
[01:42:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> mildly annoying bullshit. but that was going to happen regardless, it's just a matter of flavor.
[01:43:10] <AzumaHazuki> we are lucky enough that, for us, it will be "mildly annoying bullshit"
[01:43:31] <AzumaHazuki> this is not the case for many, many Americans, not that you give even half a feathered shit
[01:43:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's always mildly annoying bullshit.
[01:44:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> for everybody.
[01:44:28] <AzumaHazuki> no, no it is not
[01:44:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> except that lately certain folks have started freaking the fuck out over perfectly normal amounts of bullshit.
[01:44:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> because we made shit too easy on them growing up and they have zero perspective
[01:44:54] <AzumaHazuki> man, that's not even a regression to the mean fallacy. i don't know what to call that.
[01:45:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> call it wisdom.
[01:45:12] <nutherguy_> I'm just happy that Amy will have a word or two for the gun grabbers like Beto O'Rourke
[01:45:42] <lld> nah, there is nothing new under the sun
[01:45:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> gun grabbers didn't concern me much. they'll either leave me the fuck alone or they'll die.
[01:46:17] <nutherguy_> Yes, but - you won't have to defend yourself against murder charges after they die
[01:46:24] <lld> maybe they'll even form those mythical Right Wing Death Squads to confiscate guns
[01:46:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> just more chance for naps
[01:46:34] <AzumaHazuki> odd, all i can feel about this is the inner equivalent of a giant eye-roll. i knew this was coming so i can't exactly be upset
[01:46:50] <AzumaHazuki> oh well. been planning for this for ages. this just shows i had the right idea, is all
[01:46:57] <nutherguy_> celebrate - grab a Coors if you want
[01:47:10] <nutherguy_> or a Bud
[01:47:15] <nutherguy_> I'm out of any ales
[01:47:16] <AzumaHazuki> actually, part of me is celebrating, as hard to understand as that might seem
[01:47:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> well you're halfway there then. now when you finally realize this shit happens all the damned time and it's only different cosmetically, you can join the old farts' coffee club.
[01:47:50] <AzumaHazuki> you're going to get exactly what you think you want good and hard. seen from the right perspective (i.e., across the Canadian border) this could potentially be hilarious

[01:54:01] <nutherguy_> Apache and Mexican put the peppers on the table, you take what you want
[01:55:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> is it mexican or chimex or what if a bunch of illegals up in chicago feed you?
[01:55:07] <lld> instead of mexican cooking, I'll try meixian cooking :)

[02:02:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'all good though. you know if you make curry with everything but the actual curry and add a bit of lime, it's really fucking good.
[02:02:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm a godless heathen though. i used beef last time i did that.

[02:04:22] <lld> well, I guess the girls are burning
[02:04:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can't get a pork burger here either. well, you can but it's going to have cow on it as well.

[02:04:54] <lld> so long as it tastes more pork than beef
[02:05:35] <AzumaHazuki> speaking of, why the hell is offal getting expensive now? 15 years ago you could get it cheap or even sometimes free for the asking
[02:05:47] <AzumaHazuki> now the butchers want almost $2.50 a pound for bones
[02:06:11] <lld> why not? you're willing to pay for it
[02:06:12] <nutherguy_> I think bones are sold to dogfood factories now
[02:07:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're getting old. welcome to the "why the hell is $foo getting so expensive" club.
[02:07:42] <AzumaHazuki> they're for soupmaking, dangit. my great-grandmother knew her stuff
[02:08:14] <nutherguy_> Granny has never competed with greedy businessmen
[02:08:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can still find em around here pretty cheap but not twenty years ago at the butcher cheap
[02:08:54] <AzumaHazuki> well, a wide palate is a good thing in the current state of things. i like basically everything and am good with cheap foods
[02:09:13] <lld> perhaps you should start producing offal, enough to bring down the price of it :)
[02:09:33] <AzumaHazuki> i don't have the guts to :V
[02:09:35] <lld> though if there is a supply, someone will find a use of it
[02:09:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. folks who go full keto or full vegan make me laugh. their diet is so specialized and inflexible that needing to eat outside it will fuck them smooth up
[02:09:49] <lld> ensuring the price never really reduces
[02:10:11] <nutherguy_> So, when did you last make blood pudding?
[02:10:36] <AzumaHazuki> by accident, about 2 days ago. i instant pot'd a beef heart that had a lot of blood in the package
[02:11:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> pudding comes in chocolate, vanilla, bananananana, and pistachio. anything else can fuck off calling itself pudding.
[02:11:28] <nutherguy_> Grandma made real blood pudding . . . I guess it was good, I ate mine and went back for more
[02:11:35] <lld> no! not my caramel pudding!
[02:12:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can add caramel to one of the legit flavors
[02:12:38] <nutherguy_> Nahhh, make your own caramel on the stove top, none of that pansy syrup stuff
[02:13:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit, all this food talk made me hungry. thankfully we had pizza toppings for dinner the other night and there was leftovers.
[02:13:26] <nutherguy_> TBH, it's been years since I made something like that from scratch
[02:14:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> ima go eat, maybe read a book, and sleep.
[02:37:59] <requerdanos> How else would you make caramel? From powder?

[11:09:47] <FatPhil> Mine was the last end-of-line non-smart TV going for a reduced price. Way cheaper than a monitor, even though it was effectively a monitor plus telly features.
[11:12:01] <FatPhil> shops were doing some crazy days the other week, and I was tempted to pick up a 60" telly for only 500e. That would be a nice upgrade and a very reasonable price. (but a really crappy brand, obvs.)

[20:50:16] <nutherguy_> no sound on HDMI, except through VLC
[20:50:36] <nutherguy_> VLC gives you the option to choose output device, and HDMI is listed among the devices
[20:50:53] <nutherguy_> nothing else on my system seems to know that HDMI exists . . .
[20:52:04] <nutherguy_> Oh yeah - my dog ate my headphones ;^(
[20:55:20] <nutherguy_> ahhhhh, aplay knows that I have three HDMI devices . . . maybe I'll get it working in a few minutes

[22:17:13] <carny> how do you watch your numberphile videos? ;]
[22:17:35] <FatPhil> i only use the HDMI output through a big amp & speakers, and linux doesn't seem to want to go "ping" over HDMI. When I had an audio jack I could get PCM pings, but nothing since I went digital.
[22:18:24] <carny> that's interesting

[23:40:36] <AzumaHazuki> these fuckers are heavy though :/ they need a metal rod with a crossbrace like what i got
