[00:04:05] <AzumaHazuki> 106, wow
[00:04:15] <AzumaHazuki> ...think they'll put his corpse in cold storage? :D
[00:19:14] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: looks like your comment got an icy response.
[00:19:22] <AzumaHazuki> indeed
[00:19:32] <AzumaHazuki> you could say it had a chilling effect
[00:20:17] <Bytram> That's cold, man; really cold!
[00:21:34] <Bytram> Was Friendly's the chain that advertised the happy ending desert sundae?
[00:21:51] <AzumaHazuki> please tell me that didn't involve a banana somewhere in it
[00:21:53] <Bytram> Or was that Denny's? Or...?

[01:22:14] <systemd> ^ 03A cheerleading competition that may draw 40,000 people raises concerns about a superspreader event ( https://www.cnn.com )
[01:23:40] <Bytram> ^^^ ...the event is taking place just as the new, more contagious Covid-19 variant is becoming more widespread in Atlanta. "The fear is that these people will gather and then take the variant home with them to their communities and plant the seed," [Mercer University School of Medicine assistant professor Amber] Schmidtke told WXIA.
[01:39:43] <Sulla> Sporting events in general, with large numbers of condenced people yelling, seem like an easy vector
[01:54:40] <Bytram> Yes, but this is even worse. There are teams coming from all across the country. One of the new COVID-19 strains has reached their area, never mind what any of the participants bring WITH them. Cheerleading involves lots of exertion and yelling (i.e. easy transmission. When the competition is over, they all return to their home city/state -- and spread whatever they caught to their home area.

[09:05:01] <Ingar> is it safe to smell farts? can they contain coronavirus?
[09:05:25] <Ingar> shouldn't people be wearing ass masks
[09:06:39] <FatPhil> if you're not wearing 2 layers of cloth over your arse, then you're probably not the kind of person I wanna hang around with.
[09:07:00] <FatPhil> and you did the loon shiboleth - you counted "masks".
[09:07:18] <Ingar> don't worry, I'm skinny. In this kind of weather I have more layers than ogres
[09:07:58] <FatPhil> wasn't shrek an ogre? he had 0 layers. More than 0 really isn't hard.
[09:08:26] * Ingar hands FatPhil an onion
[09:17:05] <chromas> /me contributes some garlic
[09:24:27] <FatPhil> if you think a layer of onions or garlic is a "layer", then you must have confused me for a Frenchman.

[10:03:18] <FatPhil> one of them *was* a viking vomiting blood, I'm sure of it.
[10:03:30] <FatPhil> she insists it was his beard, but she's wrong.
[10:03:32] * c0lo if you grow a beer belly, do it properly
[10:03:49] <chromas> Probably an Alice reference. "Drink me", "eat me"
[10:07:34] <FatPhil> I once knew a girl called Alice. I think she said such things.

[10:45:44] <FatPhil> And other classics
[10:47:03] <FatPhil> Hmmm, actually, I don't think he had any other classics. I also have evidence for that claim. He left both of those songs for encores.

[10:59:40] <FatPhil> ugh. listening to stuff through PC speakers currently, it's pure pain.
[11:01:22] <FatPhil> the problem with the computer visuals was not the pc or the telly, it seems the receiver is borked
[11:01:56] <FatPhil> so I've lost 400W from the loop, which makes Fatboy Slim sound a bit gutless.

[11:16:38] <FatPhil> In fact, it was Ram Jam's /Black Betty/ that convinced me that a good tape deck is as good as a CD player.
[11:17:14] <FatPhil> Did an ABX, and the Nak was as good as an Arcam CD player. Absolutely indistinguishable,
[11:17:44] <FatPhil> Was a mate's Nakamichi, and I went out and bought the same model the next ... year.
[11:20:15] <FatPhil> Nah, that cover version added nothing to the original, no need for it.

[11:23:36] <FatPhil> They just looked so Finnish, as did the landscape. I had to google them, and yup, suspicions confirmed.
[11:24:14] <FatPhil> Gonna spam you with amazing Finnish music now!

[12:14:21] <c0lo> Nah, why would they? Statewide lockdown is more damaging.
[12:17:54] <c0lo> And that because of fucking public-private parnership in managing the quarantine. A nebulizer dunnit, one that the doctors knew mustn't be used in quarantine, but... meh, that's just a detail somewhere for bureacrats and their private pardners.

[23:03:29] <Runaway1956> I've been on black ice in London, Indiana, and Effingham, Ill
[23:03:37] <Runaway1956> once you're on it, you can't do anything
[23:03:59] <Runaway1956> can't stop, can't speed up, can't steer, all you can do is ride it until you coast to a stop
[23:04:43] <Runaway1956> or, as we see here, you pile into something big enough to stop you
[23:05:16] <Bytram> I lost track of how many 18-wheelers piled in there
[23:05:46] <Bytram> at least TWO Fed-Ex trucks
[23:06:03] <Runaway1956> I'm imagining myself pinned into that mess - and all you can hear are more vehicles piling on
[23:11:19] <Bytram> A quick count (there may have been a replay in the middle) but I saw about 10 tractor trailers in that pileup!
[23:14:04] <Bytram> that is F-ing SCARY!
[23:16:08] <Runaway1956> The weather conditions to watch for are, high humidity, and temperature dropping past freezing
[23:16:29] <Runaway1956> it's got to be foggy, misty, or drizzling the lightest of rain, while the temp falls
[23:16:35] * Bytram has been on black ice before, but the conditions were so bad, I was only creeping along, anyway.

[23:17:51] <chromas> What does happen when on a bride though?
[23:18:01] <Runaway1956> Hmmm - never saw it form on a bridge - usually a different kind of ice there - but yeah, if black ice is forming, it will be on the bridge first
[23:18:37] <Bytram> Doesn't matter how good your tires are when the idjit behind you is barreling along on bald tires and plows into you.
[23:19:05] <Runaway1956> No tire helps on that stuff, except studded snow tires
[23:19:33] <Bytram> which I doubt they have much of in DFW
[23:19:36] <Runaway1956> studded tires illegal almost everywhere today
