[00:05:12] <FatPhil> I think it was a serious one. The things they thought were the great bits were stuff I hate.

[01:06:41] <Bytram> requerdanos: I've seen a couple short bits on YouTube... seemed pretty good!
[01:07:33] <Bytram> that would be awesome, but I must say I found this incredible, especially compared to what I'd seen before!
[01:08:18] <requerdanos> I love watching the magic acts, just making fun of the level of detail the losers get to find out they haven't "fooled em"
[01:10:52] <Bytram> somebody want to sub that Boston Dynamics story? Seems apropos for the site and a pleasant-enough way to wrap up 2020.

[01:58:54] <FatPhil> 40 years ago, few things excited me more than world records. Nowadays, mere mention of 99% of them nearly triggers me into a rant.

[04:41:56] <Runaway1956_> I probably won't use it much, rather limited applications
[04:42:19] <Runaway1956_> just had to play with it for a bit

[04:43:31] <Runaway1956_> Yeah - there are some K libraries and stuff on it
[04:43:44] <Runaway1956_> didn't notice any gnome stuff
[04:44:06] <Runaway1956_> I just put it to bed, or I'd look to be sure

[04:46:48] * chromas waits for activity on the torrent
[04:47:40] * Runaway1956_ is seeding but you probably have to wait for seed sharing to get around to me and 20 other seeders
[04:48:08] <chromas> I never remember how the numbers work
[04:48:13] <chromas> Seeders 0 (238)
[04:48:23] <Runaway1956_> I got it pretty quickly because I have a long list of trackers added automatically to every new torrent
[04:49:02] <Runaway1956_> means no one is seeding, and there are 238 leeches
[04:49:17] <chromas> leachers has its own column though
[04:49:21] <chromas> 0 (8)
[04:49:50] <Runaway1956_> add a tracker udp://9.rarbg.to:2920
[04:50:37] <Runaway1956_> also add webseed URL http://mirror.rit.edu
[04:51:33] <Runaway1956_> if that don't work just use aria2 to download it, it's not quite 1 gig
[04:52:42] <chromas> hm ktorrent seems to be missing the part where I can add trackers
[04:52:49] <chromas> a bunch of stuff is missing
[04:53:07] <Runaway1956_> I use qbittorrent, has all the features of utorrent I think
[04:53:27] <chromas> except for the ads
[04:53:31] <Runaway1956_> including built in search engines
[04:54:38] <chromas> here it cums

[04:57:02] <Runaway1956_> I don't think it took 20 minutes for me to get the torrent, and I'm on 15 meg connection
[04:57:57] <chromas> yeah it took a minute or two
[04:59:02] <chromas> hm I don't remember needing to manually set up partitions before
[04:59:03] <Runaway1956_> I gotta build a handrail on the porch
[04:59:14] <Runaway1956_> My wife broke her foot a couple weeks ago
[04:59:26] <Runaway1956_> she has gone back to work, she's getting better
[04:59:38] <Runaway1956_> but she can't walk down the steps
[04:59:47] <Runaway1956_> she calls me to be her hand rail
[05:00:00] <Runaway1956_> That is getting tiresome, lol
[05:00:45] <Runaway1956_> Won't be very fancy, I probably just use some old 2x2 I have laying around
[05:00:53] <chromas> Break your foot to get even
[05:01:15] <Runaway1956_> Heh - I did almost the same thing she did, years ago
[05:01:25] <Runaway1956_> I really don't want to go through that again
[05:01:41] <chromas> Break her other foot, then at least she'll be even
[05:01:47] <Runaway1956_> LOL
[05:02:20] <Runaway1956_> You know all the signs and symptoms of shock, I imagine
[05:02:38] <Runaway1956_> breaking my foot was bad enough, I literally shit my pants when I did it
[05:02:48] <Runaway1956_> was pretty deep into shock
[05:05:05] <chromas> sn loads decently in webpositive
[05:05:15] <chromas> some of the rounded corners aren't quite right though, so F+
[05:05:41] <Runaway1956_> There aren't very many browsers to install either
[05:05:52] <Runaway1956_> you won't see Firefox or Chrome
[05:07:23] <chromas> ah, haikudepot
[05:07:33] <chromas> not installer, which just wants to install the whole thing again
[05:08:32] <chromas> ctrl-backspace doesn't work in the edit field. is this windows?
[05:12:35] <Runaway1956_> Reading the "about haiku" pages suggests that they may have taken some pointers from WinNT
[05:13:28] <Runaway1956_> but I did the same thing - clicked "installer" to install packages - wonder what would happen if you go through with the installation

[05:29:24] <Runaway1956_> We need that woman's address - she may be living in the Amityville Horror house

[15:23:52] <FatPhil> this week you've been mostly working in amputations
[15:24:34] <FatPhil> you've found the private ward where republican donors are, and are performing amputations at the neck?
[15:24:41] <AzumaHazuki> in unit dosing, rounds (deliveries), phones, the tube system, and basically anything not IVs
[15:24:46] <AzumaHazuki> i do the work of 2 people easily
[15:30:47] <AzumaHazuki> oh, i got some overtime making syringes of protonix (acid inhibitor) because apparently no one on days could be arsed. and everyone missed their 6 and 8 AM doses because of that ><
[15:31:18] <requerdanos> yikes, if you need it, you need it
[15:33:16] <AzumaHazuki> yeah. that medicine doesn't sound so essential until you start realizing just how many things it treats

[15:34:40] <AzumaHazuki> i don't have much choice unfortunately. probation ends mid January and thanks to management fuckups they threw me in night shift without enough training
[15:35:21] <Bytram> document it
[15:35:47] <AzumaHazuki> i'm a ferocious autodidact and am probably the best night rounder they've ever had despite being new, but...yeah. i've got a few pharmacists and high-grade techs on my side doing that
[15:36:07] <Bytram> awesome!
[15:36:17] <Bytram> =w autodidact
[15:36:17] <systemd> Autodidacticism (also autodidactism) or self-education (also self-learning and self-teaching) is education without the guidance of masters (such as teachers - https://en.wikipedia.org
[15:36:37] <Bytram> curiosity + perseverance
[15:37:51] <AzumaHazuki> that...does not work in IVs though. There are some things about sterile compounding you cannot teach yourself because there's almost zero margin for error
[15:38:21] <AzumaHazuki> apparently despite the utterly shit training my IV technique is surprisingly good, but i'm too slow to keep up with demand because the motions are unfamiliar. plus, y'know, covid surge
[15:39:07] <Bytram> nod nod
[15:40:12] <AzumaHazuki> so much demand, so much need @_@ 30 year veterans say they've never seen anything like it
[15:40:40] <Bytram> though I can often figure stuff out on my own (I'm a walking, talking permutation generator) I certainly appreciate being able to learn from others who are genuinely proficient and thorough
[15:40:53] <Runaway1956_> The nearest thing to COVID in any of our lifetimes was when AIDS was becoming "popular"
[15:41:01] <Runaway1956_> and that was nowhere close to this
[15:41:43] <AzumaHazuki> the problem with the IV training is i had eight different trainers and six were utter shit, and even as "the new girl" i knew they were utter shit
[15:41:43] <Runaway1956_> Gotta go back 102 years to find anything comparable, unless you're African
[15:41:59] <AzumaHazuki> no two of them did things alike, most of them were constantly shadowing critical sites...uuuugh
[15:42:32] <AzumaHazuki> there are two good trainers but they don't hardly ever do nights, and in any case things move too fast for them to babysit me
[15:43:57] <Bytram> hence my qualifiers: earn from others who are genuinely proficient and thorough
[15:44:20] <Bytram> s/ e/ le/
[15:44:20] <SedBot> <Bytram> hence my qualifiers: learn from others who are genuinely proficient and thorough
[15:44:31] <AzumaHazuki> we're understaffed, overworked, and apparently i'm the lone weirdo on the entire team who enthusiastically likes nights
[15:44:46] <AzumaHazuki> as opposed to "well, there's a small shift differential so why not"
[15:44:52] <Bytram> they are fortunate to have you

[16:40:38] <FatPhil> One of our independent national newspapers had an intersting article today. They didn't explicitly draw the conclusion, but provided all the numbers to enable those with brains to draw it, that there is huge correlation between percentage of russian speakers in a district, and the percentage of infected people.
[16:41:17] <requerdanos> precious few russian speakers here. I know two, maybe three.
[16:41:25] <FatPhil> I'd say the Estonian speakers vs. Russian speakers here maps onto the Blues vs. Reds in the US.
[16:41:48] <requerdanos> ah, culture -> ideology
[16:41:49] <FatPhil> Some districts must be well over 50% russian speaking here.
[16:42:24] <FatPhil> attitutes, literacy, scientific literacy, all kinds of correlated traits.
[16:43:05] <requerdanos> makes sense.
[16:48:08] <FatPhil> On xmas morning (which admittedly probably wasn't xmas for them) the main street near us only had russian speakers on it, and the only 2 masks in sight were on my g/f & I. Literally 100/100 russian speakers couldn't be arsed to wear masks.
[16:49:50] <requerdanos> like many trump supporters here. huh.
[16:50:19] <FatPhil> the correlations are so numerous, and so strong.
[17:03:08] <requerdanos> would almost allow one to pre-judge many things based on that one data point, huh
[17:04:16] <FatPhil> separated at birth? https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com https://southpark-online.nl
[17:05:22] <FatPhil> Me, prejudge? Never! However, one can utilise the predictive nature in order to have expectations that surprise one the least. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
[17:06:00] <requerdanos> sure, that leads to good hypotheses which leads to good science
[17:23:51] <FatPhil> No point in having a prior of 0.5, and then having to update it to a posterior of 0.99, if you can just go in with a prior of 0.99, eh?
[17:29:58] <FatPhil> Just been trawling through the most recent official Tallinn stats, and indeed there's a district that't 62% .ru, 5% .ua, and 3% .by ethnically. I've been there a few times, and it seems like more (I've almost never heard any Estonian there)
[17:30:22] <requerdanos> how's your estonian? and your russian?
[17:30:36] <FatPhil> i also notice that in the last year, the number of UK nationals has grown by 14%. Some people are a bit late on their brexit, it seems.
[17:31:12] <FatPhil> My estonian's utterly terrible, and my russian unimaginably worse.
[17:31:27] <requerdanos> so better than mine by leaps and bounds in both cases.
[17:32:04] <FatPhil> I can read shelf tags and ingredient lists in supermarkets, and know the numbers, days, and politenesses, but that's it.
[17:36:15] <requerdanos> I can barely read russian, and couldn't pick estonian out of a police lineup.
[17:36:57] <FatPhil> the Estonian tell, apart from it looking like drunken Finnish, is the use of an o-tilde.
[17:37:10] <FatPhil> Don't file that information away in your brain, you will never need it!
[17:37:21] <requerdanos> toõ late.
