[00:08:22] <Runaway1956> My over-easy eggs!
[00:25:46] <Bytram> yep, counts are still not updating (story hits and comment counts)

[00:46:08] <Runaway1956> Maybe I transposed "buffalo" from another article?

[01:04:51] <Runaway1956> Speak of the devil . . .
[01:05:39] <Runaway1956> Have you heard the good news yet AzumaHazuki ??
[01:07:42] <c0lo> Good news? Lemme guess, Runaway1956, they put Trump in jail?
[01:08:23] <Runaway1956> Heck no, c0lo - Trump is eligible to run again in 2024
[01:09:21] <requerdanos> From jail?

[01:09:26] <systemd> ^ 03Donald Trump Acquitted by Senate in Second Impeachment Trial - SoylentNews
[01:10:23] <requerdanos> I am not finding the good news angle here
[01:10:33] <Runaway1956> I can't wait for his third, fourth, and fifth impeachments!
[01:18:21] <c0lo> Running from jail would mean to escape, right?
[01:19:20] <Runaway1956> Whatever gets you through the night c0lo
[01:27:01] <AzumaHazuki> requerdanos: there IS no good news angle. this has set a fatal precedent for the country
[01:27:03] <c0lo> I just waked up, Runaway, already got through.
[01:27:32] <Runaway1956> Lots more nights ahead of course
[01:27:38] <c0lo> A bit better than a fatal president, AzumaHazuki, marginally as it may be.
[01:28:25] <Runaway1956> fatal fatal fatal - doom and gloom - the end is nigh
[01:28:28] <AzumaHazuki> i mean that this is the event historians will point to as "the exact moment in time the US lost its last shred of credibility internationally"
[01:28:35] * c0lo is so touched by Runaway care on the quality of his sleep
[01:29:05] <AzumaHazuki> plus, now it means the GOP has formally embraced the crazy. they own this now. if i actually thought the dems were capable of strategizing i'd almost say this was a smart move
[01:29:18] <AzumaHazuki> but 1) they're not and 2) this has been festering for 160 years
[01:29:56] <c0lo> Runaway, how's that stealing the election play for you? Did you manage to get over it or see the non-doom-and-gloom side of it?
[01:30:22] <Runaway1956> Lemme think about that:
[01:30:33] <Runaway1956> Trump has rallies of thousands even when he is not present
[01:30:45] <Runaway1956> Biden can't rally more than six people when he is present
[01:30:58] * Runaway1956 scratches head and thinks hard
[01:31:08] <c0lo> Not all GOP, Zumi. In fact the "principialed GOPs" want a new party too.
[01:31:20] <AzumaHazuki> is he still flapping his seditious Hell-bound foodsucker? Jesus. i've had him on /ignore for a while now
[01:31:49] <AzumaHazuki> c0lo: good. i hope this splits the base 60/40 or so and leads to these traitors never winning another election for a good half-century so the grownups can start cleaning up this mess
[01:31:51] <Runaway1956> ROFLMAO
[01:32:11] * c0lo suggests Runaway to elect Michael Jackson for president, he had larger audiences
[01:32:34] <requerdanos> um, large audiences bad. covid.
[01:32:36] <Runaway1956> You want to see a kiddy diddler as president?
[01:33:04] <c0lo> I won't vote for you, Runaway, if that's what's you're asking.
[01:33:23] <Runaway1956> no, silly, MJ was the kiddy diddler
[01:34:03] <AzumaHazuki> the presidency is way over 15 years old. No way would MJ be interested in it. also he's dead
[01:34:05] <c0lo> AzumaHazuki, Actually, my assumption from the get-go was that it was done to force legislators to choose a side in a way that goes on their voting record.
[01:34:21] <c0lo> Wadda heck?
[01:34:32] <c0lo> Ignore the pasta, please
[01:34:35] <Runaway1956> LOL, 'Zumi made a funny joke!
[01:34:47] <AzumaHazuki> c0lo: it was, but that's predicated on the idea that the GOP or its voters have any morals, shame, or capability to process other prosocial thoughts. they do not. they don't give a shit

[01:34:52] <systemd> ^ 03Exclusive: Dozens of former Republican officials in talks to form anti-Trump third party
[01:35:25] <AzumaHazuki> the "conscientious" Republicans are simply the ones who recognize that societal collapse is bad for their stock options. they love Mammon just a little more than White Aryan Jesus
[01:36:42] <c0lo> Does their reason matter if they get 2-3 parties from the cadaver of former GOP?
[01:37:12] <requerdanos> I think we have got to the good news part.
[01:37:32] <c0lo> I somehow don't think you'll be voting for any GOP splinter, AzumaHazuki
[01:37:55] <AzumaHazuki> you know, I actually might if somehow I'm still stuck here in late 2022
[01:38:00] <AzumaHazuki> just to fuck with the machine
[01:38:15] <c0lo> That's the spirit, Zumi
[01:39:13] <AzumaHazuki> at that point, making sure neither of the splinters get in might be more important than voting for their opposition. whatever fucks them up harder
[01:39:21] <Bytram> just for starters, COVID-19 cases had gone from nothing thru (it will just go away "poof") thru (/me checks https://www.worldometers.info ) 28+ million cases and 496 K deaths. Daily new cases have dropped ~ 60% since Biden took office.
[01:39:22] <systemd> ^ 03United States Coronavirus: 28,196,964 Cases and 496,063 Deaths - Worldometer
[01:39:50] <requerdanos> See? It's those smaller, healthier crowds.
[01:40:07] <AzumaHazuki> Bytram, the virus is a Chinese Democrat hoax, all good patriotic Americans know that. It's been perpetrated by paedophile Democrats in a pizza shop to harvest our adrenochrome and deny our freedoms
[01:40:32] <Bytram> new deaths are *starting* to drop, as well, but that's because it's a trailing indicator and people are usually sick for a couple-three weeks before they die of covid.
[01:41:39] <AzumaHazuki> liiiiiiies. it's all a Democrat conspiracy! why do you hate America? =P
[01:41:47] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: Poe's law. Please don't even say such things in jest. Sat something often enough and people WILL start to believe it is true; cf: WMD.

[01:42:14] <AzumaHazuki> they already do, Bytram. we have a few demented motherfuckers right here on SN who do
[01:44:09] <Bytram> So whacking them upside the head has been... how effective? Just keep showing the how things are getting better, and continue to get better, and the same thing which got them messed up is the very thing which will help them come along. It *will* take time, but it's worth it in the long run.
[01:44:35] <Runaway1956> I believe!

[01:57:41] <AzumaHazuki> the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. I can't make common cause with people like this. but i can at least hope they inflict some karmic justice on themseles
[01:57:56] <Runaway1956> Old news c0lo - the impeachment trial has ended
[01:58:40] <AzumaHazuki> and if, Madokami forbid, I'm still stuck here by late 2022, I may very well vote for the "principled" (hahahahaha!) splinter group just to make sure they and the "unprincipled" (LOL) branch end up stalemating
[01:58:53] <c0lo> The sentiment of "Republican enthusiasm for second Trump term lags" is still there. Whaddya gonna do Runaway?
[01:59:21] <AzumaHazuki> he's going to keep jerking off and ignoring reality as he always has done. stop trying to talk sense into a fanatic. he's not a functioning human
[01:59:28] <Runaway1956> What am I going to do? Probably the same thing I've done for the last six elections
[01:59:32] <Runaway1956> vote third party
[01:59:47] <Runaway1956> Who is running for the Libertarian party next?
[02:00:01] <c0lo> I didn't try to talk sense into it. It was a honest question.
[02:00:22] <AzumaHazuki> you won't get an honest answer, is my guess. he still thinks the election was stolen
[02:00:24] <c0lo> s/it/him/

[02:04:57] <AzumaHazuki> man, even turtlehead mcconnell is basically saying this is all on trump
[02:05:34] <AzumaHazuki> would be hilarious if there was some kind of congressional inquiry after this. especially if it turns out to be bipartisan
[02:06:26] <c0lo> https://www.motherjones.com
[02:06:27] <systemd> ^ 03Senate Republicans just acquitted Trump...and indicted the GOP
[02:06:52] <c0lo> "Yet, as Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the lead House impeachment manager, noted, this view creates a “January exception,” under which a president who loses an election can take extreme and underhanded steps to hang on to the White House without fretting about impeachment should he fail."
[02:07:12] <c0lo> "The acquitting Republicans also endorsed the absurd legal argument put forward by Trump’s B-team lawyers that his speech at the rally (and elsewhere) was protected under the First Amendment and, consequently, could not be the predicate for an impeachment."
[02:07:42] <AzumaHazuki> that's...uh, not something they want to hand the opposition, holy shit
[02:08:07] <c0lo> They did it already, the fuckers.
[02:08:29] <AzumaHazuki> neither of those things. what happens if the dems or some other party decides to stop being civil and start fighting as dirty as the present-day GOP? there's precedent now
[02:08:41] <AzumaHazuki> shit, THIS is what these tribal motherfuckers like Runaway don't get, the precedent being set
[02:09:08] <c0lo> And the Libertarian Runaway1956 is happy for it!
[02:09:16] <AzumaHazuki> but noooo, it's all identity politics with him and his kind. stupid, shortsighted, selfish, revanchist fucking morons

[02:14:32] <AzumaHazuki> i've come to the conclusion that the human race is essentially distributed-Cthulhu. Individual pieces of it make sense at individual points in time, but taken as a whole, they're a mindless gibbering cosmic horror

[02:16:07] <AzumaHazuki> Bytram: if people like runaway thought that way we wouldn't be in this mess. the fact is, large chunks of the US do not, or possibly cannot, think this way
[02:16:31] <Runaway1956> Isn't that enough of hatefulness 'zumi?
[02:16:39] <AzumaHazuki> well, it's on the states now. i can only hope that NY and/or GA have the guts to do what our gutless Senate didn't.

[02:19:25] <Bytram> It has oft been said that the wheels of justice grind slowly (Just try getting a speedy trial these days), but they do grind on and on and on.
[02:19:51] <Runaway1956> They tend to grind people, rather like cornmeal
[02:20:23] <AzumaHazuki> there is no justice but what we make, and to make justice requires power
[02:20:44] <AzumaHazuki> all this comes down to power. it's ugly, but no matter how finely you grind the universe down, you will never find an elementary justice boson or fermion
[02:20:46] * c0lo hands Zumi some solar panels.
[02:20:48] <Bytram> Trump will get what he's due, one of these days, and as the saying goes "sucks to be him". IOW, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
[02:21:03] <Runaway1956> Ooooooh - now she expresses her dream - POWAH!! MUST HAVE POWAH!!
[02:21:21] <AzumaHazuki> oh, he will, but most likely it'll be out of sight of any of us. he will end up in Hell, and thanks to his mishandling of the pandemic, he'll be there as long as people like Saddam Hussein
[02:21:28] <AzumaHazuki> but...that does the dead and suffering no good

[15:10:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> two impeachments and two acquittals. it's official, trump's the most innocent president in history.
[15:11:29] <Bytram> acquittal != innocent
[15:11:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> is legally
[15:12:18] <requerdanos> "O.J. Was Acquitted. He Was Found Innocent." <-- like this
[15:12:27] <Bytram> no, "not guilty" != "innocent"
[15:12:59] <Bytram> not FOUND quilty == acquittal
[15:13:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> that is correct on a plea. on a verdict it means the same in the eyes of the law though.
[15:13:29] <Bytram> ?? [citation needed]
[15:13:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> in any case, you're messing up a perfectly good bit of shit talking
[15:13:40] <requerdanos> innocent, as in innocent until proven guilty, therefore not proven guilty = still innocent.
[15:14:11] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: unrelated, but where in the DB can I find the title to a comment?
[15:14:28] <Runaway1956> To my knowledge no one in the American legal system is ever found "innocent"

[15:19:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> for tuesday though

[15:20:34] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: only if you make a small stew... /me usually makes 4-5 gallons at a time
[15:20:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, i gotta quit dicking around and go get some work done. TR informs me that being a basement, the bit of the church we're working on isn't making it down to freezing and we can paint if we warm the air up first.

[16:05:47] * Bytram once spilled a drink into an old PC-compatible's keyboard. We're talking 80286. Feared it would let out the magic smoke. Let it dry out for several hours. Gave it a try. All seemed okay. But then some keys got really sticky. Pulled the thing apart, but the thing under the shower for a couple minutes. Dried it with a blow-dryer. Waited a couple hours just to be safe. Worked like a champ -- no problems at all!

[16:36:00] <m> ok now keyboard works again, was annoying to type with w-key getting stuck
[16:38:56] <m> Bytram: should preferably use distilled(battery cell water) water and not regular
[16:39:14] <m> cos regular tap water is gonna leave minerals that might eat up the pcb eventually
[16:39:36] <m> when washing a kb that is :)
[16:42:12] <Bytram> good point. though, back then, traces were huge and well-spaced-out.
[16:42:33] <FatPhil> coke's acidic, I'd hate to see the state of the contacts in the keyboard. beer at least is about pH 4.5, but fizzy pop is ~2.5
[16:42:58] <FatPhil> tap water is not that damaging at all, that's a myth.
[16:43:11] <m> the coke in this kb had eaten away some traces and springs
[16:43:14] <FatPhil> I think it's an extension of the "don't mix water and electricity" myth.
[16:43:26] <m> had to solder some jump wires and replace a few springs, but now it works great
[16:43:32] <FatPhil> springs indeed would be the first thing I'd expect to go
[16:43:50] <m> ye possibel its not as bad as i think tap water FatPhil, its just what ive read
[16:44:05] <FatPhil> of course, different taps are different...
[16:44:24] <Bytram> tap water was pretty good where I was -- not at all "hard water"
[16:44:36] <FatPhil> our office and our flat are only 400m away, and one has drinkable water, the other has liquid rust.
[16:45:20] <Bytram> I wonder if it has to do with the state of the pipes leading into -- and within -- the buildings.
[16:45:43] <m> must be if its in same area
[16:46:09] <m> didnt you live in .fi FatPhil, great tapwater there
[16:46:31] <FatPhil> most of the pipes in town are soviet-era ~1950s-ish, I think. They're gradually being replaced, but strangely the water seems to not change.
[16:46:40] <FatPhil> m: Now in Estonia
[16:46:57] <m> ah ok
[16:47:42] <m> maybe someone is selling the new copper pipes themself
[16:47:51] <m> and leaving the old ones in the ground
[16:47:51] <FatPhil> the Helsinki tapwater, that was from Paijanne, was great. but when we lived in .fi, we were in Espoo, not so good.
[16:48:15] <m> hm only have experience of vaasa and turku tap water
[16:48:28] <m> but usually the bigger the city the shittier the water
[16:48:32] <m> for some reason
[16:48:48] <FatPhil> turku was ok water, lived there for a while.
[16:48:57] <m> ah neat :)
[16:49:09] <FatPhil> Humalistonkatu, very appropriate for me.
[16:49:15] <m> i was recently there for 6 months to finish my degree
[16:49:33] <m> hehe cant remember seeing that street
[16:49:33] <FatPhil> uni, or acadamy?
[16:49:42] <FatPhil> leads to the station (ish)
[16:49:49] <m> academy
[16:50:00] <m> ah right, ye right next to railway station it seems
[16:50:27] <m> i lived in yo-kylae and then later rented an apartment next to teh stadium
[16:52:20] <m> thinking about moving back to .fi soon, but thought of helsinki feels depressing
[16:54:58] <Runaway1956> Ohhhhh-kay - ten quarts of stew are just now coming to a simmer
[16:55:37] <Runaway1956> Biggest thing I have to cook in, unless I grab the kid's big ass stock pot
[16:56:08] <FatPhil> we still visit helsinki quite often, or did pre-covid, we still like the place.
[16:56:17] <FatPhil> But I do have 28 years of history
[16:56:55] <m> well, im sure its nice to live there :)
[16:57:08] <m> i just have never spent much time there at all, sucks building up new life
[16:58:01] <m> to estonia its very short trip too
[16:58:07] <FatPhil> spent a year there in '93-'94, but then had 10 years 2000-2010
[16:58:43] <FatPhil> I'd recommend Estonia above Finland any day, if only for the cost of living!

[17:02:32] <Runaway1956> QOTD lol
[17:03:29] <FatPhil> when I was living in finland, I was working for a foreign company, so don't even have a finnish pension :(
[17:04:44] <FatPhil> however, that was all part of a tax-avoidance scheme, so it basically let me put that money into a future investment for when I'm old rather than trusting the government to do it for me. (or future generations of taxpayers).
[17:05:23] <FatPhil> I'm not expecting to draw a state pension anywhere. I've lived in too many different places, the whole idea's incoherent.
[17:07:07] <m> hehe
[17:07:38] <m> got same issue
[17:08:02] <m> altho been living abroad, but there is no such thing as pension here
[17:09:01] <FatPhil> The idea of a state pension makes sense if you assume that people can't manage their own money. Alas, that's necessary. However, those of us who can are penalised by this stance.
[17:09:15] <m> yea, but most people are incapable of it
[17:09:21] <FatPhil> Yes yes yes, I'm channelling Ayn Rand here. And she was wrong about almost everything.
[17:09:38] <m> a week after payday the money is gone for a large chunk of population

[17:11:31] <FatPhil> Yeah, lowish taxes, unlike the Scandinavian countries.
[17:11:56] <m> it was kinda cheap around 2005 in .fi as well, but they raised tax again for some reason
[17:12:21] <m> and banned bulk-discounts
[17:12:32] <FatPhil> There was a slow and steady increase over time. beers were 6e, then 7e, then 8e, then 9e. Waaaaat?!?!?!?
[17:12:54] <m> yea crazy expensive going to bar there now
[17:13:17] <m> who wants to pay 10eur for a damn beer
[17:13:40] <FatPhil> I'm a beer ticker, hunting out as many different beers as possible, and I'm super happy that most bars now do 100ml pours - that keeps the cost down!
