[13:37:35] <FatPhil> our central heating's broken, and we've just had the second snow of the year today, so it's coffee for heat, not for enjoyment.
[13:38:16] <Runaway1956> Not good phil. The last time that happened to me, we had a house filled with little people.
[13:38:37] <FatPhil> little people can generate a few hundred watts of heating thought
[13:39:04] <Runaway1956> At 5 below zero, a few hundred watts doesn't go far

[13:40:57] <Runaway1956> it's times like that when you miss old fashioned wood stoves
[13:42:31] <FatPhil> one problem is that my ceiling peaks at about 7-ism metres high, it's gonna take a long time to heat up the space with our little electric heater in the bedroom.
[13:43:03] <FatPhil> we have underfloor heating in the bathroom, but nothing in the lounge/kitchen.
[13:44:44] <FatPhil> Our heating's community heating - hot water powered by something noxious a kilometer away, and then some monstrously complicated thing in the basement that's apparently stopped doing its complicated job of pumping hot water up to the top floor.

[18:03:30] <carny> lin wood is going to win his case and overturn georgia's election fraud
[18:08:30] <carny> i sincerely hope a few republican heads are going to roll along with a great many democrats
[18:09:03] <carny> possibly georgia will need a new governor and certainly a new secretary of state
[18:09:53] <carny> hash tag all corruption must be purged
[18:17:15] <Runaway1956> requerdanos - the election isn't over at least until the electoral college votes, and maybe not then
[18:17:41] <Runaway1956> no place in any election law does mainstream media and bit tech call the election
[18:18:00] <Runaway1956> s/bit/big/
[18:18:00] <SedBot> <Runaway1956> no place in any election law does mainstream media and big tech call the election
[18:18:53] <Runaway1956> if it is proven that 680,000 pennsylvania votes were faked, there goes all the hype
[18:19:16] <Runaway1956> Penna sent out like 18 million votes by mail
[18:19:25] <Runaway1956> 1.8 million
[18:19:35] <Runaway1956> got back almost 2.5 million votes by mail
[18:20:20] <Runaway1956> 680,000 unexplainable votes almost all for Biden
[18:20:53] <Runaway1956> but, that can't be fraudulent, can it?
[18:56:40] <requerdanos> Okay, this is looking good.
[18:57:26] <requerdanos> first, no place in any law does it say wind and rain will happen if a hurricane is going to pass over, but experience shows that they will.
[18:58:34] <requerdanos> the "call" here means "I am conscious and aware of the vote counts and see what effect that is going to have on the electoral college, which decides the election" = biden wins, kids.
[18:59:17] <requerdanos> the shorter way to say this is "I am calling the election for biden" which I feel comfortable doing at this point.
[18:59:33] <requerdanos> that's a way to acknowledge the EC, not deny it.
[19:00:30] <requerdanos> If your 700k votes are proven fake, that will mean that there is some proof. Excellent! Love to see some, rather than talk of some.
[19:02:36] <requerdanos> However, as a super-stretch, if some evidence of that existed, and if somehow pennsylvania flipped trumpian (spoiler alert: doesn't, won't), he would merely lose by a different amount.
[19:05:54] <requerdanos> If my math's right (not a foregone conclusion), Trump would have to somehow overcome the insurmountable obstacle of overturning an electoral vote times something like 37, and few states have that many votes (CA, TX?)
[19:09:05] <requerdanos> What I'm getting at is these are things I, as an observer who did not vote for either guy, observe, and other people observe different, possibly contradictory things.
[19:10:33] <requerdanos> I had big hopes for the lawsuit in PA, which was blonked out of court in part for being based on speculation rather than on evidence.
[19:11:41] <requerdanos> "Dude I heard there are totally 1.8 million versus 2.5 million, gotta be widespread fraud against trump" is the legal equivalent of idiocracy's "First of all, look at him"

[19:35:49] <chromas> If Russia totally defrauded the election without evidence, why can't the dems?
[19:37:59] <requerdanos> The election that Russia allegedly meddled in (evidence of same not seen by me at least) was certified and moved right along as it should have.
[19:38:37] <requerdanos> There was some griping, complaining, "investigating" on a scale so silly as to be operatic, but no interference with the election.
[19:42:44] <Runaway1956> requerdanos - my hope for all the lawsuits purportedly being filed, is that the truth wins.
[19:43:06] <Runaway1956> Remember, I don't like trump much more than I like being poked in the eye
[19:43:24] <Runaway1956> but, if the vote was rigged, I want it fixed
[19:43:33] <Runaway1956> and it's hard for me to beleive that Biden won
[19:43:43] <requerdanos> these lawsuits are the ultimate SLAPP suits, not only against public participation but against straight-up voting.
[19:44:50] <Runaway1956> I am, however, losing what little faith I have in the Republicans, because things are moving so slowly
[19:45:10] <requerdanos> There is/was strong anti-trump sentiment for various reasons, so it shouldn't be hard to believe that a random person could win against him.
[19:45:11] <Runaway1956> if they have proof of anything, they need to get it out there, and pretty damned soon
[19:45:41] <Runaway1956> Kinda true - Biden is a random person
[19:45:50] <chromas> Biden's not randomâHe's exactly the sort of person all the mostly peaceful protestors claim to be against
[19:46:08] <Runaway1956> THAT is true chromas
[19:46:38] <requerdanos> It seems especially from the handling of the trump presidency itself as a picture of the trump voter suits that they are going for an evidence-free strategy to lose intentionally in venues where fact is important and they have no chance, then appeal to SCOTUS, a venue that trump possibly believes should be loyal to him personally.
[19:47:06] <Runaway1956> If that's his strategy, he has lost
[19:47:14] <requerdanos> I don't think at this late state of their protests that proof will suddenly materialize.
[19:47:21] <Runaway1956> justices don't have loyalty to anything but their own personal crusades
[19:47:54] <Runaway1956> whatever they have, it's really close to put-up-or-shut-up time
[19:48:08] <requerdanos> From PA: "Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here," Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote for the three-judge panel.

[19:49:02] <requerdanos> Page not found! How can you explain that except as a conspiracy against me!
[19:51:11] <chromas> It's the parenthesis
[19:51:39] <requerdanos> sure, a likely alternate explanation, but conspiracy theorists don't think that way.
[19:52:45] <chromas> Clearly, you put that ) in there, so you're the one attempting a coup in this channel with a false flag!
[19:53:04] <chromas> Obvious CIA spook is obvious
[19:53:31] <requerdanos> Anyway I guess it helps to interpret things from the viewpoint of the President's view on evidence, facts, truth, etc. (he's shown to be against them.) Whether because he's an avant-garde genius or whatever explanation, that seems to be the upshot of it, easier to say "There is widespread publicly available evidence" than to produce evidence that doesn't exist.
[19:56:25] <requerdanos> And I get the president's viewpoint, I think, and I acknowledge that his viewpoint has taken him much farther, career-wise, than mine has taken me.
[19:57:06] <requerdanos> What I am having trouble with is the literally millions of people who seem to genuinely believe that what the President is saying is actually true in any sense of the word.
[19:58:54] <requerdanos> This is because some of these people are among my circle of friends and family, are are people I know to be intelligent and would previously have said would have good information hygeine.

[21:22:31] <AzumaHazuki> wheee...this weekend will be spent changing my sleep cycle for night shift.
[21:23:12] <halibut> Perhaps a minor point, but I was under the impression that in 2016, Russia was accused of interference with the US election, not fraud. They attempted to influence how people voted, but did not actually mess with the voting process. Searchin for ``fraud'' in https://en.wikipedia.org reveals there were people accused/indicted of fraud but

[21:23:18] <halibut> they were not Russia.
