[00:00:34] <Runaway1956> a nap would be nice - it's been a long day
[00:00:38] <Runaway1956> later
[00:00:53] <Deucalion> Welcome to the nut house requerdanos :P

[00:01:31] <Bytram> Deucalion: thanks for the help with the hostmask!

[00:25:34] <systemd> ^ 03Residents Erect Statue As Tribute To Stray Dog That Roamed Their Streets For 12 Years
[00:28:08] <carny> Brenda Bock, a coroner in Grand County, Colorado, said her jurisdiction lists five coronavirus deaths. However the data does not reveal is that two of the victims actually died of gunshot wounds.
[00:28:18] <carny> “They were actually gunshot wounds,” Bock stated of the deaths. “The people had tested earlier in the month for COVID and because they did have COVID, our state health department is listing them as coronavirus deaths.”
[00:28:47] <carny> this is completely normal and does not in any way indicate that any other covid statistics are bogus
[00:29:20] <carny> continue to believe that millions more americans will die in 2020 than in 2019
[00:29:52] <requerdanos> "millions more" seems kind of high to me
[00:32:13] <Tekk> Current projections are probably in the high 200's by new years.
[00:32:15] <Tekk> Maybe 300
[00:32:43] <Tekk> Oh damn nvm
[00:32:54] <Tekk> It's been too long since I looked at the stats.
[00:33:24] <Tekk> We're heading towards mid 300s by new years
[00:34:08] <requerdanos> 300, 300 x 10^3, somewhere in between?
[00:34:21] <Tekk> Something like that :D
[00:34:23] <FatPhil> ah, I was thinking of https://www.bbc.com
[00:34:25] <systemd> ^ 03Turkmenistan leader unveils giant gold dog statue
[00:34:28] <Tekk> As of today we're apparently at 320k
[00:34:35] <Tekk> In the US
[00:36:56] <FatPhil> doing a 9/11 per day - well done!
[00:37:27] <FatPhil> but overtaken by montenegro, you're slacking
[00:37:50] <FatPhil> (in kaputspercapita)
[00:38:53] <FatPhil> UK still ahead of you too. I am so proud of Saint Boris, and the infinitely capable Matt Handcockup.
[00:39:33] <Tekk> Italy's still ahead of us too per capita.
[00:39:41] <Tekk> THey took the brunt of it before we knew how to treat it.
[00:42:41] <Bytram> FatPhil++ "kaputspercapita"
[00:42:42] <Bender> karma - fatphil: 93
[00:43:04] <Bytram> had to read that like 3 times to parse it out... then LOL!
[00:43:51] <FatPhil> try saying it repeatedly, it's quite a tonguetwister.
[00:44:02] <Bytram> noticed that at the outset!
[00:44:24] <Bytram> time to make some chow... biab, afk
[00:46:05] <FatPhil> Ingar: do you have any insights into the .be numbers? 1.5x US/UK is pretty impressive going (IIRC)
[00:46:59] <FatPhil> Our local and localish covid news is both facepalmy and worrying.
[00:48:52] <FatPhil> in .ee, the head of ICU dept at a regional hospital caked it from covid this week. In .fi, acoording to govt officials, the vaccines have (a) arrived; and (b) not arrived. Heisenberg's jab.
[00:49:03] <Deucalion> Didn't think you were in US/UK FatPhil?
[00:49:50] <FatPhil> we're both love it or leave it-ers in this flat.
[00:51:13] <Tekk> That'd be such a sweet deal if it were real
[00:51:23] <FatPhil> which stage of separation grief is "pity"?
[00:51:35] <Deucalion> The one before you die
[00:51:41] <Deucalion> Why?
[00:52:36] <FatPhil> I almost feel sorry for the UK. Poor stupid fuckers. Then again, that was part of the reason I left.
[00:53:26] <FatPhil> maybe the phase I'm going through right now is closer to schadenfreude?
[00:54:12] <Deucalion> Good for you. Any time you want to stop broadcasting your smugness about that would be too late to be even cloase to tolerable in polite company.
[00:56:53] <FatPhil> I'm only smug when I have something to be smug about. They did it - blame them!
[01:05:51] * c0lo looks at Deucalion's comment and thinks he wants to have a monopoly in smugness
[01:05:59] <carny> what is there to even be smug about?
[01:06:15] <carny> garbage data makes garbage analysis
[01:06:45] <c0lo> ... and makes garbage carby.
[01:06:58] <c0lo> s/carby/carny/
[01:06:58] <SedBot> <c0lo> ... and makes garbage carny.
[01:07:42] <carny> ah c0lo is up to the usual standards of intelligent analysis i see
[01:08:11] * c0lo explains carny that smug is a national sport in UK. Only the losers quit (grin)
[01:09:00] <FatPhil> I've open sourced my smugness, and made it CC3.0 SA-NC, so everyone can have it.
[01:12:20] <Runaway1956> Is open carry smug an option, or does it have to be concealed?
[01:12:49] * c0lo tried to use some of FatPhil's smugness, but it's undocumented
[01:13:07] <Bytram> concealed smugness sounds like an oxymoron.
[01:13:36] <Runaway1956> well, if it's undocumented, then concealed might be an option
[01:13:58] <Bytram> what's the point?
[01:14:18] <Runaway1956> The good guy with a smug might save the day if bad guys with smugs show up
[01:14:20] <c0lo> Runaway1956, if you have to ask, you better run away from smugnes, you don't understand it enough

[02:59:35] <c0lo> The city said it regrets the situation and apologizes for “the inconvenience,” adding that anyone in attendance should get tested.
[04:01:24] <carny> yes these pro-maskers are clearly the intelligent ones https://twitter.com
[04:02:59] <carny> breaking news from maricopa county arizona
[04:03:41] <carny> the board of supervisors voted 4 to 1 to defy subpoena that demand forensic audits of voting machines
[04:03:55] <carny> this is completely normal and not at all suspicious
[04:11:34] <pinchy> what was that i heard? 10 billion donated to BLM this year?
[04:11:40] <pinchy> like actual billions
[04:11:47] <Tekk> That seems like it might make sense considering how it's past the safe harbor date and in fact past the arizona state legislature sending its votes for the election?
[04:11:49] <pinchy> where dat money go?
[04:12:31] <Tekk> Maybe if the admin had some actual dirt they should've used that before they had their cases thrown out for presenting no evidence at all.
[04:12:45] <lld> pls no audit
[04:15:12] <Tekk> It appears that the subpoena was rejected because the Arizona senate does not in fact have the authority to do that
[04:15:30] <Tekk> Not the way they did, at least.
[04:17:42] <carny> by law election materials must be preserved for 22 months
[04:18:43] <carny> so it's not at all suspicious that officials in contested states seem to be committing felonies and destroying data 21 months early
[04:18:57] <Tekk> Where'd you get to destroying data?
[04:19:42] <carny> for example georgoa's secretary of state directed that their voting machines must be purged of data in advance of the upcoming run-off election
[04:19:46] <carny> over a month in advance
[04:20:04] <carny> in the middle of a nation wide freak-out over election fraud
[04:20:17] <carny> this is completely normal and necessary and not at all suspicious
[04:22:53] <Tekk> I don't see how that would matter, as far as I know no relevant data should be on the voting machines.
[04:23:31] <Tekk> My understanding (I don't live in Georgia, but according to people who do) the machines are just automated ballot fillers. They wouldn't have any actual election info on. Fill a form. print the form. The ballot is the actual record.
[04:25:56] <Tekk> I'd also say that calling it a national freakout is a bit overblown when it's been a month and a half of one side going to courts and saying "There's so much election fraud!", the courts saying "Please show evidence of this," the campaign going "We don't have any evidence but it totally happened," and getting thrown out again and again.
[04:27:16] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Battery Prices Have Fallen 88 Percent Over the Last Decade - https://sylnt.us - economy-of-scale
[05:13:33] <carny> there are several models of voting machines and they all run various versions of software that have been poorly standardized and in many case updated too soon before the election and uncertified
[05:13:41] <carny> in violation of election law
[05:14:04] <chromas> Stop calling it fraud and start calling it interference; then we can all agree on it
[05:14:27] <carny> the russians did it

[09:18:26] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - An AI Co-Pilot Called ‘ARTUµ’ Just Took Command of a U-2’s Sensor Systems on a Recon Mission - https://sylnt.us
[09:23:41] <carny> how many prisoners usually die per year in the usa?
[09:24:23] <carny> hint for the student: there are millions of middle age and older men in the american prison population
[11:01:01] <carny> https://media.breitbart.com
[11:01:07] <carny> this is not at all creepy
[11:02:56] <FatPhil> More than half of the 3,739 deaths in custody in 2016 resulted from just two illnesses – cancer (30%) and heart disease (28%).
[11:04:15] <carny> great let's have a look at the autopsy reports from a nice random sample of the 2020 deaths and see how many of them also had cancer to go with their wu flu
[11:04:45] <FatPhil> as carny points out, the greying of US prisons is very much a thing. his number's out (about 1/3) but the point remains - there's crinklies in jail, and crinklies die quicker.
[11:05:15] <carny> since we already know that a virus can cause fatal gun shot wounds in colorado and motorcycle accidents in florida it stands to reason it can also cause cancer to become terminal in prisons
[11:06:10] <FatPhil> ah, two examples, that were corrected, and therefore all third-of-a-million are false. Hasty generalisation much?
[11:06:20] <carny> i also expect that it's good for killing people who are already dying of aids since that's fairly common in there as well
[11:06:55] <carny> no i'm just not the type who keeps going back to my abuser when they tell me 'but baby i've changed'
[11:07:40] <carny> once i know that the people signing the death certificates are liars and have an agenda i feel no reason to continue to trust them
[11:08:20] <carny> and since i have first hand experience with the systems used to mine the patient data i have a pretty good guess as to how they're doing it
[11:10:58] <c0lo> The entire world conspire to present carny a pandemic in which millions of people die. A good thing that, even if in minority, ONAN/newsWax/Breitbarf exist to set his reality straight.
[11:13:05] <FatPhil> Yes, but it's different people who sign the death certificates in different states, different districts, different counties, and even different institutions - hasty generalisation much?
[11:13:48] <FatPhil> And your stats aren't wildly different from those in a dozen other countries - you're extrapolating from 2 stories to the whole globe. Hasty generalisation much?
[11:15:29] <FatPhil> c0lo: exactly - he's proved the whole world is conspiring by making me notice that the stats are very similar in similar societies.
[11:16:36] <carny> how many cases of outright fraud do you need to see before you stop trusting people who lie to you?
[11:16:47] <carny> 97% positive pcr tests
[11:17:19] <carny> then somehow 103% positive pcr tests where they magically came up with extra testees
[11:17:37] <c0lo> See? ONAN told him The Truth.
[11:17:50] <carny> people being emailed positive test results after the gave up on the 4 hour lines and went home getting within 50 feet of a nurse

[11:18:54] <carny> a texas woman being 'diagnosed' and having covid put on her death certificate after she had been dead for 3 months
[11:18:57] <c0lo> (and dying 3 weeks after)
[11:19:00] <FatPhil> We don't have 97% positive PCR tests. Finland doesn't have 97% positive PCR tests. You're generalising from one news story about one state to the whole globe again. Hasty generalisation much?
[11:19:47] <FatPhil> c0lo: ONAN? I presume that was deliberate?
[11:19:49] <carny> i haven't even looked at finland and i challenge you to find me claiming that i have
[11:20:14] <FatPhil> No need, fucknuts - you generalised
[11:20:28] <carny> ok you're obviously drunk again

[12:39:18] <FatPhil> Ooops, typo - I obviously meant a Sochi restaurant, selling expensive Russian food.
[12:41:35] <AzumaHazuki> i love sushi <3 it's expensive though so i almost never eat it
[12:42:34] <FatPhil> 15e for all-you-can-eat
[12:43:09] <AzumaHazuki> ...i would make them perhaps regret that. this body can pack away ridiculous amounts of light food like that
[12:43:40] <FatPhil> we've eatern there for their lunch specials (usually dom bowls not sushi), which are 5-6e, and the quality's good. This is the first time we've done their buffet.
[12:43:55] <FatPhil> my kdb skillz are terrible today
[12:44:51] <FatPhil> sushi does fill me up, so I don't think I'm going to get value for money, normally 10-12e of their regular menu is plenty!
[12:45:15] <FatPhil> but they do the best tempura in town, so we want them to stay in business.

[23:38:16] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org - Dry ice - Wikipedia
[23:39:54] <Bytram> how to protect a vaccine...
[23:39:58] <Bytram> Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is used primarily as a cooling agent, but is also used in fog machines at theatres for dramatic effects. Its advantages include lower temperature than that of water ice and not leaving any residue (other than incidental frost from moisture in the atmosphere). It is useful for preserving frozen foods where mechanical cooling is unavailable.
[23:39:58] <Bytram> Dry ice sublimates at 194.7 K (−78.5 °C; −109.2 °F) at Earth atmospheric pressure. This extreme cold makes the solid dangerous to handle without protection from frostbite injury. While generally not very toxic, the outgassing from it can cause hypercapnia (abnormally elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood) due to buildup in confined locations.
[23:41:03] <requerdanos> it can also replace oxygen in the air and lead to hypoxia, which is killer
[23:41:40] <Bytram> * not to be taken internally
[23:41:42] <Bytram> ;)
[23:53:25] <FatPhil> it's a horrible acid in your lungs - just ask any brewer.
[23:58:23] <c0lo> The good thing: you are likely to feel CO2 in your lung before you die.
