[00:00:32] <raxas> let's just wait and see
[00:01:00] <Runaway1956> PBS lawyer probably still believes in deprogramming queers too
[00:02:31] <raxas> CIA director Gina Haspel resigns a day before Biden inauguration
[00:03:14] <raxas> those are just waves on top of the real flow
[00:03:58] <Runaway1956> =submit https://asia.nikkei.com
[00:04:02] <systemd> Submitting "Nikkei Asia"...
[00:04:24] <systemd> ✓ Sub-ccess! "03Nikkei Asia" (22p) -> https://soylentnews.org
[00:04:25] <FatPhil> Attempting to reeducate those with genetic microencephaly is probably pointless.

[00:06:56] <Runaway1956> 40 years ago, we didn't post that stuff to Facefook
[00:07:18] * Runaway1956 remains certain that his first son was conceived on a picnic table
[00:08:57] <raxas> thank you bender
[00:10:00] <FatPhil> fuck me, donnie don't 'arf go on.
[00:10:05] <raxas> but, 40 years ago, we all had hope everything will be better. not only it was not, but now, we are sure it will be worse
[00:10:44] <Runaway1956> Well, 40 years ago, Boomers had some confidence in themselves.
[00:10:55] <Runaway1956> Today, millennials dream doom and gloom
[00:11:54] <raxas> global warming and covid pandemia protrude from all the bad expectations now
[00:13:16] <Runaway1956> We might as well just lay down and die then.
[00:14:47] <raxas> not today. I still have a code to write and games to play and cat to feed
[00:14:55] -!- AzumaHazuki [AzumaHazuki!~hazuki@the.end.of.time] has joined #soylent
[00:16:01] <FatPhil> I am amazed that Donnie managed to stay on script! Do you think he was wired up to the mains, and if he started to improvise he'd have been given a jolt?
[00:16:08] <Teckla> Runaway1956: I'm IRCing from my phone right now. :)
[00:16:20] <Runaway1956> High tech pig farms are here!
[00:16:23] <Runaway1956> https://futurism.com
[00:16:23] <systemd> ^ 03Bitcoin miners are heating chicken coops with their rigs
[00:16:34] <Runaway1956> But, isn't Teckla a bot?
[00:16:55] <Teckla> FatPhil: Were you a teacher, teaching C++?
[00:17:31] <AzumaHazuki> "freeznc.ru?"
[00:17:48] <FatPhil> My Ctrl key is broken on my phone, and I IRC inside a tmux session on my phone, so it's pretty hard to IRC reliably on it now. I have a spare body, I'll probably move over to it in the next couple of days.
[00:17:49] <Teckla> Sometimes I feel like a bot, but nope, I'm not a bot. Just an aging geek in Minnesota.
[00:18:16] <Teckla> Minne-snow-ta. :(
[00:18:29] <FatPhil> Teckla: yup, teaching at a bunch of polytechnics in Helsinki/Espoo. Back when CFront was pretty much the definition of C++.
[00:19:07] <Runaway1956> What is it, Zoom-Zoom? You don't like Russia?
[00:19:47] <FatPhil> I heard a minnesotan speak the other day, and the accent was really weird - it almost had some canadian elements to it - quite odd vowels.
[00:20:23] <Runaway1956> Minnesota's immigration history might seem strange to some outsiders
[00:20:33] <FatPhil> Lots of Finns, IIRC.
[00:20:41] <FatPhil> Well, more Finns than other states.
[00:20:44] <Runaway1956> Germans as well
[00:22:31] <Teckla> FatPhil: Wow, that's pretty cool. I was pretty excited about C++ back then. Now I'm horrified and repulsed by it. ;)
[00:22:32] <AzumaHazuki> what are you hiding that you need to bounce your activity off a Russian bouncer? this is new for you
[00:22:48] <AzumaHazuki> based on that and some of your previous recent comments and behavior I have to suspect you're up to something
[00:23:02] <AzumaHazuki> stay home on 20 January, all right? for your own sake don't try something stupid
[00:23:07] <Runaway1956> 'Zumi, every day is a new world for you - don't try to figure me out
[00:23:13] <FatPhil> Teckla: I'm so glad you said that without me having to prompt you - it's a fucking abomination now!
[00:23:38] <AzumaHazuki> there's nothing to figure out. you're as predictable as the tides, the only question being, at what point does the shore give in to erosion finally?
[00:23:59] <Runaway1956> I am the tide.
[00:24:12] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, you cosplaytriots really think that :< sad
[00:24:18] <Teckla> Yeah, some Minnesotans have interesting accents. I'm near the big cities here (Minneapolis/St. Paul) -- we don't have that Canadian-ish accent.
[00:24:54] <Teckla> Lots of Canadian transplants here, though. Lots of Germans. Lots of Swedes and other Northern Europeans.
[00:25:20] <Teckla> Getting pretty quickly overrun by Mexican immigrants everywhere, though.
[00:25:37] <AzumaHazuki> that kind of blows my mind. minnesota is colder than a lot of canada
[00:25:49] <FatPhil> If Runaway is the tide, does he come in pods?
[00:26:12] <AzumaHazuki> FatPhil: LOL! i think he means red tide. smelly, crazymaking, and probably infested with something
[00:26:39] <Runaway1956> Racissss 'Zumi! You think Mexicans can't deal with cold, or what?
[00:26:53] <FatPhil> Handy hint, boys and girls, don't put the tide's pods in your mouth.
[00:27:02] * AzumaHazuki reaches over and honks Runaway's giant red clown nose
[00:27:08] <AzumaHazuki> He Lost, Get Over It
[00:27:23] <Runaway1956> Put me back on ignore stupid, it's much more peaceful in here
[00:27:28] <AzumaHazuki> you can spend the next 2 years or so dancing for my entertainment :)
[00:27:41] <Teckla> The Mexicans here don't seem to have any issue with the cold.
[00:27:43] <AzumaHazuki> assuming you don't drop dead of butthurt before then
[00:28:06] * Runaway1956 has met Mexicans in all of the lower 48 states
[00:28:41] * Runaway1956 crossed the Arctic Circle with Mexican shipmates
[00:29:02] <Teckla> We have lots, and I mean *lots* of Mexicans here. All the schools post things in both English and Spanish these days, etc.
[00:29:49] * FatPhil attempts to switch to phone...
[00:29:51] <Runaway1956> I'll bet some of those "Mexicans" are undercover Guatemalans
[00:30:58] <Runaway1956> They're moving London - not just the bridge.
[00:31:00] <Teckla> Lots of South Americans too.
[00:31:02] <Runaway1956> https://globalnews.ca
[00:31:03] <systemd> ^ 03London, Ont., moves closer to decommissioning Springbank Dam - London
[00:31:13] <Teckla> It surprises me since we are so far north.
[00:31:43] <Runaway1956> I was surprised when I met the first Mexican in Connecticut - that was like 30 years ago
[00:32:47] <AzumaHazuki> Teckla: sounds like here in NYS. I'm still not fluent in Spanish and read it much better than I speak it, but can manage in that context
[00:32:52] <AzumaHazuki> much easier than Japanese for example
[00:33:02] <Teckla> Yeah. The U.S. is definitely going to be a Latino dominated country.
[00:33:32] <AzumaHazuki> i'm told by someone here that's because they "outbreed us."
[00:33:45] <Runaway1956> We've known that for a long time - it has taken this long for the globalists to coax enough Mexicans into the states
[00:33:50] <Teckla> AzumaHazuki: I kind of wish I had taken Spanish in school.
[00:34:06] <AzumaHazuki> ohhh boy, someone turned on the crazy tap
[00:34:17] <AzumaHazuki> you've gone full-on Q Cucks Klan
[00:34:29] <Runaway1956> Cool it 'zumi
[00:34:44] <Teckla> I do think they "outbreed" whites; plus, there's very, very heavy levels of immigration.
[00:35:07] <Teckla> I'm not complaining or anything. It is what it is. *shrug*
[00:35:33] <Runaway1956> Mexicans love their children, Americans abort their children
[00:35:40] <AzumaHazuki> point is, Runaway here is on record posting in that forum that Hispanics outbreed "us" (yes, outbreed is the word he used) and I still have tha--nevermind, he did it again
[00:36:03] <AzumaHazuki> that saves me some work and some digging :) thanks
[00:36:13] * Runaway1956 observes AzumaHazuki obsession with him
[00:36:18] <Teckla> I'm kind of anti-hyper-globalization, because of the insane environment harm it does, and the humans rights abuses.
[00:36:48] <Runaway1956> Oh, but slave labor in China doesn't affect liberals here in 'Murica
[00:37:01] <AzumaHazuki> Teckla, you and I have a very different idea of "globalization" than he does. for us it's about human and environmental harm. for him it's tribal. he doesn't want his "kids and grandkids to be third-class citizens to make black and brown people happy"
[00:37:03] <Teckla> I'm pro-choice because I think making abortion illegal is essentially making women slaves. You should be allowed to do what you want with your body.
[00:37:06] <AzumaHazuki> and yes that is an actual quote
[00:37:07] <Runaway1956> We need our iThings
[00:37:15] <Teckla> It's crazy, I know, but I'm against slavery.
[00:37:54] <AzumaHazuki> Teckla: https://soylentnews.org Read this. I blockquoted a giant rant of his and bolded the interesting parts. He still insists this isn't anything bad by the way
[00:37:57] <Runaway1956> Zumi acts retarded because Runaway would rather see ALL Americans as first class citizens
[00:37:57] <AzumaHazuki> just "a warning"
[00:37:59] <systemd> ^ 03Journal of Azuma Hazuki (5086)
[00:38:09] <Teckla> AzumaHazuki: Oh, I don't care which race "wins" -- I'll be dead. ;)
[00:38:19] <Runaway1956> would rather extend "privileges" to the underclasses, than to surrender "privileges"
[00:38:23] <AzumaHazuki> why does Runaway talk in the third person like Trump?
[00:38:30] <AzumaHazuki> is it the same kind of senile dementia?
[00:38:48] <Runaway1956> Because he can.
[00:39:16] <AzumaHazuki> ah, it's a puerile little temper tantrum thrown by a sad, low-energy loser who's watching his entire worldview get repudiated by reality, right
[00:39:19] <AzumaHazuki> you do you, old man :D
[00:39:45] <Runaway1956> I suppose Bytram will be along shortly, and comment on your attacks on me . . .
[00:39:54] <Runaway1956> every time you show up, it's the same thing
[00:39:56] <AzumaHazuki> "whaaaaa, mommmyyyyy, the mean lady's being mean to meeeeeee"
[00:40:13] <Runaway1956> I've never used the term "lady" when referring to you.
[00:40:20] <AzumaHazuki> he probably will, but you know...i'm not wrong. my tone's not nice, but i'm not wrong <3
[00:40:36] <Runaway1956> Being a bitch is never wrong, is it?
[00:40:42] <AzumaHazuki> and even he seems to know that. he's told me he maintains neutrality as a matter of principle, since he's a staff member
[00:40:49] <Runaway1956> Especially if you're a German Shepard.
[00:41:00] <Runaway1956> So grow up.
[00:41:13] <AzumaHazuki> you know, sometimes you go off on kyonko-level tangents. he's a schizophrenic. what's your excuse?
[00:41:41] <Runaway1956> By "tangents" you mean you can't keep up.
[00:42:04] <AzumaHazuki> no, by "tangents" i mean you randomly change the subject to try and get away from a line of discussion that's making you uncomfortable
[00:42:33] <Runaway1956> No, by tangents, you mean that you can't see how it relates
[00:42:48] <AzumaHazuki> no, by "tangents" i mean you randomly change the subject to try and get away from a line of discussion that's making you uncomfortable
[00:42:54] <AzumaHazuki> you see relations that aren't there
[00:43:01] <AzumaHazuki> that is a sign of early dementia
[00:43:19] <Runaway1956> The current subject is, 'Zumi arrives in the channel, and she goes into rabid bulldog bitch in heat with aids mode
[00:43:35] <raxas> you two should meet, would be a nice couple. or stage actors
[00:43:44] <AzumaHazuki> oooh, someone sounds mad :D
[00:43:52] <Runaway1956> I'd be Punch, and she'd be Judy.
[00:44:00] <AzumaHazuki> i thought i was a German Shepherd? and how does a bulldog get *H*IV?
[00:44:16] <AzumaHazuki> ...on second thought don't tell me how you know. "animal husbandry" does not mean what you think it means, pervert
[00:44:25] <Runaway1956> How would I know how the bulldog got HIV, you probably gave it to her.
[00:44:38] <AzumaHazuki> "no u" LOL
[00:44:46] <AzumaHazuki> dance for me, clownshoes!
[00:45:08] <AzumaHazuki> you've been cucked by the President, by the GOP, and by your own culture. there's nothing left for you but seething, impotent rage
[00:45:09] <Runaway1956> You're dancing quite well alone, I'll sit this one out.
[00:45:33] <AzumaHazuki> what's wrong, two right shoes? :D
[00:46:11] * Runaway1956 dances best with a rifle https://www.youtube.com
[00:46:25] <AzumaHazuki> don't stroke your gun in public, pervert
[00:46:38] <Runaway1956> but you're obsessed with my gun
[00:47:01] <AzumaHazuki> says the guy who constantly challenges the feds to come and take it so you can shoot them
[00:47:03] <AzumaHazuki> moron labe!
[00:47:21] <Runaway1956> Better than your moron labia
[00:47:29] <AzumaHazuki> you really do not like women do you? :)
[00:47:41] <AzumaHazuki> sorry your ex-wife was mean to you, but grow up and get over it
[00:47:50] <Runaway1956> What a stupid thing to say - I like women who aren't bitches
[00:48:07] <Runaway1956> Some of my grandchildren are women
[00:48:21] <AzumaHazuki> LOL "who aren't bitches"
[00:48:27] <AzumaHazuki> sorry to say but it's not 1945 anymore
[00:48:47] <Runaway1956> Attack bitches are fine, if they are kept in the junkyard.
[00:48:59] <Teckla> I'm actually pro-2nd amendment, heh
[00:49:00] <Runaway1956> Obviously, you don't know your place.
[00:49:03] <AzumaHazuki> the other half of the human race has working brains, imagine that your definition of "bitch" is going to be something completely irrelevant to the world isn't it
[00:49:05] <FatPhil> 1890, you mean?
[00:49:11] <AzumaHazuki> LOL, "don't know my place." Keep going, this is hilarious
[00:49:17] <AzumaHazuki> dance, monkey, dance!
[00:49:23] <AzumaHazuki> the whole world has left you behind!
[00:49:42] <Runaway1956> Lemmings going over the cliff leave me behind as well.
[00:49:45] <Teckla> I don't want to see any of the amendments watered down, not any of them, because that's a "slippery slope"
[00:50:08] <Runaway1956> Spot on, Teckla.
[00:50:21] <AzumaHazuki> got bad news for you then...the fourth has had the stuffing kicked out of it. arguably the eighth, if it was ever truly enforced
[00:50:34] <AzumaHazuki> and a whooooole lot of end runs have been done around the ninth and tenth
[00:50:42] <Teckla> Whether I agree with the amendments or not is irrelevant... I agree with most of them, and want to protect them from getting watered down -- so that means they all must be protected.
[00:50:46] <Teckla> Even the ones we dislike.
[00:51:01] <Runaway1956> So get your ass busy trying to restore those rights that have been infringed on
[00:51:15] <AzumaHazuki> teckla, did you know i carried a gun back in PA? :) people make some odd assumptions about me
[00:51:27] <Teckla> AzumaHazuki: wow!
[00:51:29] <AzumaHazuki> there are a lot of centrist gun owners. I'd say leftist, but there are no leftists in the US
[00:51:41] <Teckla> I've never owned a gun and have never shot one
[00:51:44] <AzumaHazuki> anywhere in the civilized world I'd be conisdered centrist, maybe slightly right leaning
[00:51:50] <Runaway1956> WTF ever made you think that you are "centrist"?
[00:51:55] <AzumaHazuki> see previous line :)
[00:52:25] <AzumaHazuki> but yeah, I had a little .22 peashooter back in Erie. Never needed to use it, thank goddess
[00:52:25] <Runaway1956> That's bullshit - the "civilized world" doesn't begin and end with Europe.
[00:52:38] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, Canada's part of it too :)
[00:52:39] <Teckla> Runaway1956: Well, to be honest, right now, I feel like the modern right had gone **so** batshit insane that I tend to vote all democrat.
[00:53:03] <Teckla> Cut out the really dangerous cancer first, *then* heal the rest of the patient.
[00:53:16] <AzumaHazuki> teckla, you are not dealing with a reasonable human being here. he's been radicalized. leave him to the rioters, as he's one of them in all but actual ability
[00:53:19] <Runaway1956> Huh - let's wait and see what the Dems do to your civil rights in the next two years
[00:54:14] <Runaway1956> Nationwide lockdown, if you're seen outside your home after 9:00 you'll be shot on sight
[00:54:30] <AzumaHazuki> you have some odd tastes in pornography, Runaway
[00:54:36] <Teckla> Runaway1956: I'm not happy with the dems either. I'm really not. My dem voted are anti-Republican votes due to their super duper crazy extremism these days.
[00:54:39] <c0lo> Teckla, the constitution and the ammendments must be a living document, otherwise the reality will make them as obsolete as the bible. Granted, one needs to be careful about how it is to be adjusted, but staying as they are forever guarantees their death.
[00:54:53] <Runaway1956> That's your Governor Gretchen, not right wing politics 'Zumi.
[00:55:05] <AzumaHazuki> again...you have some weird tastes in porn
[00:55:10] <FatPhil> c0lo++
[00:55:10] <Bender> karma - c0lo: 21
[00:55:16] <AzumaHazuki> and how in hell is she my governor if I live in NYS, not MI?
[00:55:29] <Runaway1956> Maybe a several million people like you and me should have voted 3rd party Teckla
[00:55:51] <AzumaHazuki> join the Patriot Party, Runaway!
[00:55:54] <Teckla> Runaway1956: I couldn't risk it. :(
[00:55:59] <Runaway1956> She's a liberal, you're a liberal, own her 'Zumi
[00:56:18] <AzumaHazuki> please, please, do your part to split the GOP base into two equal-sized warring factions that will never, ever win another election for a half a century
[00:56:43] <Teckla> I'd like a .22 -- after my daughter leaves the nest. I'd like to learn how to shoot and shoot as a hobby. I've been told to start with something "wimpy"
[00:56:49] <AzumaHazuki> the problem with you fanatics is once your vaunted unity collapses, you get left with TWO groups of fanatics who refuse to budge. you'll spend 50 years ripping one another apart
[00:57:08] <Runaway1956> Teckla - never consider the .22 as "wimpy"
[00:57:09] <AzumaHazuki> poetic, fitting, and as predictable as the moon phase
[00:57:10] <Teckla> I've been told if you start with something too powerful, you can learn bad habits that are hard to unlearn.
[00:57:25] <Runaway1956> More people have been killed with .22 than any other caliber in the history of the United States
[00:57:57] <Teckla> Runaway1956: Oh, I guess by wimpy, I mean "not much kickback"
[00:58:25] <Runaway1956> 9mm and .380 and even the .38 have little kick
[00:58:40] <Runaway1956> How big are you?
[00:58:53] <FatPhil> depends on the mass, because physics.
[00:59:12] <Runaway1956> I was only about 120 pounds when introduced to the Colt .45
[00:59:13] <Teckla> I'm about 6'2" and 190 pounds
[00:59:19] <c0lo> Runaway1956, that's for you and your libhurties to infect others https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
[00:59:21] <systemd> ^ 03Pandemic Disease: A Past and Future Challenge to Governance in the United States
[00:59:28] <Runaway1956> was actually afraid of it, because everyone said it kicked bad
[00:59:41] <Runaway1956> But, I found that it really doesn't kick much
[00:59:51] <c0lo> Note the "officials playing the role of Texas state government ordered National Guard troops to shoot on sight any person trying to cross over their border with Oklahoma"
[01:00:01] <Runaway1956> Just don't "fight it", let it kick, then put it back on target.
[01:00:11] <raxas> do not underestimate the power of democracy: in Democratic Republic Congo, there are 602 registered political parties
[01:01:08] <AzumaHazuki> everything a loonie like runaway says along those lines is projection. it's what he wants to do or have his tribe do
[01:01:13] <Runaway1956> So, uhhhhh, what is your point c0lo
[01:01:15] <Teckla> Runaway1956: Interesting
[01:02:00] <Runaway1956> It is good advice though to start with a small caliber, learn the "right way", then move up to larger calibers if you so desire
[01:02:21] <Runaway1956> It's the big "boom" that screws most people up
[01:02:29] <Runaway1956> not the kick, so much
[01:03:08] <FatPhil> absolutely hated glocks bexause of the kick, that and the stunted grip.
[01:03:11] <Teckla> I heard it can make you flinch. Heh.
[01:03:35] <Runaway1956> Exactly - and flinching guarantees that you never become a good shot
[01:03:50] <c0lo> Runaway1956, the counterpoint to your "Nationwide lockdown, if you're seen outside your home after 9:00 you'll be shot on sight"
[01:04:14] <c0lo> It is not unprecedented and it is not a Dem thing.
[01:04:36] <FatPhil> c0lo: ignore that, that's just one of his fantasies that he dreams of saving the nation from with his massive weapon.
[01:04:38] <Runaway1956> c0lo, if you've followed my posts, you'll remember that I said we weren't authoritarian enough in the early stages of the pandemic
[01:04:47] <Teckla> With the vaccines rolling out, COVID-19 will be more-or-less resolved soon enough. I don't think there's too much reason to worry.
[01:04:51] <Runaway1956> we FAILED to quarantine, when it mattered most
[01:04:58] <Runaway1956> today, lockdowns are just stooopid
[01:05:10] <c0lo> Teckla, for certain values of soon enough.
[01:05:15] <Teckla> I'm more worried about the unseen long term health effects.
[01:05:34] <c0lo> I doubt that it will get over it by the end of 2021.
[01:05:36] <Runaway1956> That is worrisome . . .
[01:06:08] <Runaway1956> I'm afraid that the COVIDS will transform rational human beings into progressives.
[01:06:13] <Teckla> c0lo: Yeah, it's kind of moving slowly, but they're trying. The companies have a very strong financial incentive to manufacture the doses as quickly as possible. ->
[01:06:48] <Teckla> And politicians have a strong political motivation to roll it out as quickly as possible. I think people are generally doing the best they can.
[01:07:03] <FatPhil> there is competition in the market, but that might decrease if some are found sub-par.

[01:07:21] <c0lo> Teckla, it's a bit more than a production issue. It's more a logistic one, keeping into account that the immunity wanes over time.
[01:07:22] <Runaway1956> Hey!! Nobody made coffee!
[01:07:38] <raxas> not sure about you people, but we have a 3rd wave of covid here, clearly seen in statistics. same intensity as 2nd wave. lockdowns helped... a bit
[01:07:45] <c0lo> Keeping track for revaccination means a system in place we don't have today.
[01:08:07] <FatPhil> tattoos on foreheads
[01:08:18] <FatPhil> date stamp QR code, simples.
[01:08:26] <c0lo> And I don't think such a system can be rolled out and functioning by the end of 2021.
[01:08:45] <Teckla> c0lo: When it comes to the US, I'm hoping Biden can improve the logistical issues.
[01:09:17] <Teckla> Here in Minnesota, we are having a devastating and terrible third wave.
[01:09:59] <c0lo> And I can hope that the vaccines offer immunity long enough to get 'rona eradicated. But I won't hold my breath.
[01:10:20] <Teckla> I'm not sure it'll ever be eradicated.
[01:10:22] <FatPhil> teckla - actual wave, or just an xmas bump?
[01:10:38] <c0lo> Xmas was more that 3 weeks ago.
[01:11:01] <FatPhil> we had an xmas/ny bump, and will have another russian xmas/ny bump soon.

[01:23:04] <systemd> ^ 03Situation Update for COVID-19 - Minnesota Dept. of Health
[01:23:13] <Runaway1956> Maybe because more women in health care than men?
[01:24:31] <FatPhil> Runaway1956: you need to control for age - women are older
[01:24:32] <Teckla> I think more women than men get tested, so you end up naturally seeing more C19 cases in women than men. (Corrections welcome)
[01:24:47] <Runaway1956> Makes sense, I guess
[01:25:18] <Teckla> I think it's because women are more drama llamas and thus get tested more, and men are more macho "I'll be fine" fucking morons and thus don't get tested enough.
[01:25:50] <Teckla> Both sexes suck. ;)
[01:25:53] <FatPhil> also why some studies showed smokers are "less susceptible" - the older smokers were much fewer in number. less covid.
[01:26:20] <c0lo> They die before being tested :grin:
[01:26:34] <AzumaHazuki> nope, totally because more women than men in healthcare and that's misandry and sexism they hate men and want men to die wharrrgarble omg
[01:27:09] * Teckla chuckles
[01:27:11] <Runaway1956> FFS zoomie, I get two intelligent if speculative answers, then you chime it
[01:27:42] <Teckla> There's a stupid stereotype in the U.S. that men aren't supposed to be nurses, only women. Not sure what it's like in other countries
[01:27:43] <AzumaHazuki> up a rope, you may piss, so sayeth Yoda
[01:28:02] <AzumaHazuki> in the ass, do not let, the doorknob hit you
[01:28:30] <FatPhil> I only know 2 nurses, both are male. small, sample size is.
[01:28:41] <Runaway1956> That stereotype is weakening . . . I've dealt with three male nurses who seemed quite good at their jobs
[01:29:27] <AzumaHazuki> i meet guys doing nursing at work. I'm always impressed with them too
[01:30:43] <FatPhil> as lng as the person doing the stitches in A&E is female, that's the important thing. Males would rather just use a staple gun.
[01:31:02] <Runaway1956> Hilti brand staple guns, lol
[01:31:12] <Teckla> My wife is a Registered Nurse, so I've known... a lot of nurses.
[01:31:34] <FatPhil> at christmas parties
[01:31:36] <raxas> I'd pick a robot nurse over a nurse dude at any moment, I can tell
[01:31:48] <Teckla> The "nurses should be women" stereotype is mostly the fault of men, though I know some women that feel the same way. It's pretty weird.
[01:32:27] <Runaway1956> Well, early in my life, I thought all teachers were women
[01:32:37] <Runaway1956> I got to junior high, and learned differently
[01:32:41] <Teckla> I generally prefer female healthcare providers as they have seemed more patient.
[01:34:30] <FatPhil> borne out by my stitches
[01:35:36] <FatPhil> I was once complimented on the neatness of the stitches when they were being removed. OK, the (female) nurse who put them in was the one actually being complemented.
[01:36:03] <Runaway1956> Those Mormons are at it again - - -
[01:36:03] <AzumaHazuki> if at all possible i want other women working with/on me. i don't quite trust men in a position like that when i'm that vulnerable

[08:20:01] <FatPhil> All he's got is one paper that says its "possibly carcinogenic", but that is a very mild warning; equivalent "if you overdose rats with it, some become cancer". The list of "possibly carcinogenic" substances is very long.
[08:33:59] <c0lo> FatPhil - maybe we can persuate him to run for the president of some country, the CT and senile seem like two strong points.

[11:57:19] <systemd> ^ 03DC on lockdown and on edge before Biden's inauguration
[11:57:45] <c0lo> Even in the hours before the event, federal agents were monitoring “concerning online chatter,” which included an array of threats against elected officials and discussions about ways to infiltrate the inauguration
[11:58:06] <c0lo> And 12 National Guard members were removed from the security operation after vetting by the FBI, including two who had made extremist statements in posts or texts about Wednesday’s event.
[11:58:38] <chromas> I wonder what percentage of that chatter is undercover feds egging each other on
[11:59:01] <requerdanos> so, they removed the trump-supporting guardsmen based on their nuttiness index?
[11:59:45] <c0lo> the Secret Service issued a bulletin over the weekend... read, “No service members should be posting locations, pictures or descriptions online regarding current operations or the sensitive sites they are protecting” and urged them to stop immediately.
[12:00:03] <requerdanos> service members ought to know better anyway
[12:00:25] <Ingar> wnated to say that, should have already been standard procedure

[12:01:35] <Ingar> later I learned what kind of misguided propaganda it was
[12:02:08] <requerdanos> Imagine my consternation to be part of that invading force, then later learn what kind of misguided etc.

[18:33:53] <Runaway1956> Aristarchus is my psychotic side, lol
[19:29:08] <FatPhil> so do you have anything apart from the 2 psychotic sides?
[19:33:36] <raxas> I've seen that. or something very similar. two guys in a room, sitting at ends of the same desk, sharing a kettle of coffee, engaged in a brutal flamewar escalation on a mailing list

[20:33:26] <requerdanos> that's a great description of diana ross and the supremes under phil specter
[20:34:11] <chromas> Was it hipster music or do I need to refine my definition?
[20:35:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, no idea. i first heard it when some chick was digging on it. she lost her cheese when i told her it's a school shooting song, like two days after a school shooting.
[20:37:05] <chromas> Did you help her find her qis?
[20:37:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> no but i had a pretty good laugh
[20:37:52] <chromas> "I accidentally played this song in class now everyone’s tryna be friends with me for some reason. Weird"
[20:38:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, unless it's louie louie or really good blues, not knowing the lyrics to a song you like isn't excusable.

[20:46:43] <FatPhil> FUCK!
[20:47:01] <FatPhil> I've just nuked my crontab, any idea where I can look to recreate it?
[20:47:30] <FatPhil> auth.log shows me when I was doing stuff, but I don't know exactly what I was doing (set things up sometimes years back)
[20:48:12] <chromas> You could check your backup but you'll have to check your crontab to find out where the backups go
[20:48:20] <requerdanos> `crontab -e` will cheerfully create you an empty one
[20:48:35] <raxas> depending on which sedbot you use, there may be some danger in it. there are some sedbots on github I would not touch with a baton
[20:49:38] <chromas> raxas: s/sedbot/crond/g
[20:49:38] <SedBot> <chromas> <raxas> depending on which crond you use, there may be some danger in it. there are some cronds on github I would not touch with a baton
[20:50:16] SedBot is now known as cron
[20:50:25] <raxas> lol
[20:56:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, unless you have backups or extremely verbose logging, you're just fucked.
[20:56:55] <FatPhil> I'm fucked
[20:57:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> personal or system?
[20:58:05] <FatPhil> looking at auth.log, i've worked out the time of day one script ran: 5 1-22/3 * * *, but fuck knows the rest of the line
[20:59:03] <FatPhil> personal, I think it only had 3 jobs in it, but I have no idea what they were now - they were quite parameter heavy, IIRC
[20:59:10] <chromas> No crontab.old or anything?
[20:59:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, my crontab has nothing in it except SHELL,PATH,MAILTO,HOME
[20:59:23] <FatPhil> where are the files stored?
[20:59:24] <chromas> can you undelete?
[21:00:01] <requerdanos> debian keeps them in /var/spool/cron I think
[21:00:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> all the commands are stored in /etc/cron.foo
[21:00:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> daily/hourly/weekly/etc...
[21:00:53] <chromas> Here lies the danger of long-running systems—you forget how they work :)
[21:01:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> not if you break them regularly
[21:01:33] <chromas> if it's long-running then you haven't broken it enough. keep going

[21:02:22] <FatPhil> als, no .old
[21:02:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothing in /var/spool/cron/crontabs for me
[21:03:17] <FatPhil> It's late, I'm tired (hence typing ``crontab -r'' to 'read' the crontab, rather than ``-l''), I'll fix it tomorrow
[21:03:57] <FatPhil> I know one of them runs on thursday mornings, ...
[21:08:56] <FatPhil> woh - syslog has the commands!
[21:09:04] <FatPhil> I was grepping *.log, not *log
[21:09:29] <Fnord666> Not only does Linux give you enough rope, it gives you enough that you hit the ground/water first!
[21:10:28] <Fnord666> Windows is kind enough to tie the rope around your neck and give you a gentle shove.
[21:12:02] <chromas> They're both great though in that the event that causes a pc to crash usually doesn't show up in the logs on either system
[21:13:16] <FatPhil> cross fingers - I think i've rebuilt it!
[21:14:00] <FatPhil> it looks like I had put a wrapper shell script in the relevant directories so that cron itself wouldn't need to know what other paramerters were required
[21:14:12] <FatPhil> cross fingers, I'll find out in 3 hours....
[21:14:22] <FatPhil> thanks for at least teddy-bearing
[21:15:56] <FatPhil> I'm apparently not the only one who's complained about -e being a nuke with no confirmation. It's right next to -e, for example, so can be fat fingered easily.
