[00:44:25] <Runaway1956> Ioannidis is a subversive, and FatPhil is pushing subversive publications
[01:00:42] <FatPhil> plos kinda was subversive once.
[01:01:28] <FatPhil> but stanford is hardly anti-establishment, and he's stanford, isn't he?

[01:03:26] <FatPhil> didn't plos invent scientometry, because they weren't happy with how the impact of science was being measured?
[01:04:51] <FatPhil> impact factors were already being gamed, so heading towards meaninglessness.
[01:05:39] <FatPhil> i could be making all this up, the memories are dim and dusty.
[01:38:21] <Runaway1956> Good God, the spin machine
[01:38:24] <Bytram> FatPhil: "dim and dusty" -- for some reason that reminded me of playing "Adventure" way way back in the late 1970s -- which is double strange as that phrase appeared nowhere in the game that I can recall!

[01:43:51] <FatPhil> what's so odd? our restaurant just decided to close for the covids.
[01:53:12] <Runaway1956> Few, if any, restaurants "decided" to close - they were shut down by the state and/or the county
[01:53:59] <Runaway1956> A decision to only have 25% or 50% capacity would have been the route that most would have gone
[02:02:32] <FatPhil> yup, we were limited to 25% and to shortened hours, and there were other complications, so the decision was made that it wasn't worth it until things changed.
[02:03:38] <FatPhil> we're right in the middle of a 4th wave here presently, and we got off lightly before, ao there's plenty of room for exponential growth.
[02:04:09] <Runaway1956> Do you serve exponents in your restaurants?
[02:04:53] <FatPhil> we were all smug 9 months ago, but thee govt made some insane decisions 6 months ago, and it's really biting us in the arse now.
[02:05:24] <FatPhil> we serve everyone equally, no matter how powerful they appear.
[02:07:07] <FatPhil> don't for one minute think that govt decisions in the intervening months have been less insane, quite the contrary.

"Not connecting Tesla cars to Starlink, as our terminal is much too big. This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs," he wrote."

[14:13:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> was subs with * for toppings
[14:14:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> like everything a sub shop would have and about eight more things that caught my eye while i was at the store

[14:16:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, coffee to the rescue. just means i'll sleep really good tonight.
[14:16:57] <Bytram> it's a matter of taste, I s'pose
[14:17:00] <AzumaHazuki> caffeine doesn't work for me past a certain point...i'm anaemic and may be hypothyroid, still waiting on the exam results
[14:17:24] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: here's hoping they can figure it out soon for ya
[14:17:37] <AzumaHazuki> it's an adenosine receptor agonist and (for whatever this is worth) a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. keeps you from sleeping != keeps you awake
[14:17:48] <AzumaHazuki> antagonist*
[14:19:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> eat more liver n onions. if you soak the liver in heavy cream for four hours ahead of cooking it instead of an hour in milk, it's freaking amazing.
[14:20:33] * c0lo feels a gamey taste in TheMightyBuzzard sammiches. And a strong pungent smell of rotting corpses. Blaming it on his sushi-and-banana pizza diet.
[14:21:28] <FatPhil> are you pregnant?
[14:21:53] <FatPhil> just wondering why the choice of sushi and banana toppings
[14:22:15] <AzumaHazuki> gay girls don't usually get pregnant :v not the usual way anyway
[14:22:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you put sushi on a pizza and then cook the pizza, it's not sushi anymore, is it?
[14:22:32] <FatPhil> To be honest, salmon can be wonderful on pizza
[14:22:45] <AzumaHazuki> i've always had odd tastes like that. i'm not at all picky about food and will eat almost anything edible, though i don't like rich or creamy things much
[14:23:04] <AzumaHazuki> salty + sweet though? omgyesplz. cinnamon pretzel = <3
[14:23:54] <c0lo> GTFO with salmon on pizza. Sardines or surströmming.
[14:24:47] <c0lo> Or Vegemite.
[14:25:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> vegemite? you might as well use sheetrock spackle.

[14:26:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm really not picky on pizza toppings as long as some animal died for at least one of them
[14:27:46] <FatPhil> yup, meat on pizza for me is a sine qua non
[14:27:56] <c0lo> Fell free to use as much sheetrock spackle, TMB, more Vegemite left for me.
[14:28:18] <FatPhil> just because you can't handle the real thing - marmite forever!

[14:28:22] <SedBot> <c0lo> feel free to use as much sheetrock spackle, TMB, more Vegemite left for me.
[14:28:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> lately i've been going with the bacon cheeseburger toppings. bacon, ground beef, and moar cheese. but that's because three topping larges are the manager's special and quite cheap.
[14:28:42] <AzumaHazuki> oooh, i love lots and lots of veggies on pizza. mushrooms, broccoli, tomato bits, onions, olives...
[14:28:43] <c0lo> Marmite is sweet as hell.
[14:29:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, garlic soaked tomato chunks are badass
[14:29:15] <FatPhil> that's not the normal criticism of it
[14:29:43] <FatPhil> Pizza always benefits from sun-dried tomato
[14:29:45] <c0lo> I don't get you guys. Why take the room for meat on the topping with cheese?
[14:30:14] <FatPhil> because cheese is awesome, in particular when it browns and goes crunchy at the edges
[14:30:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, not dried. juicy and garlicy
[14:30:45] <c0lo> Can't be awesomer than bacon.
[14:31:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> c0lo, it makes the bacon not fall off when you pick the slice up
[14:31:05] <FatPhil> fresh or marinaded tomatoes are too wet
[14:31:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> chunks the size of your thumbnail. the outside dries out but the inside gives you a little burst of tomato n garlic flavor.
[14:32:30] <c0lo> You're fooling noone, TMB. That's what Vegemite is for, fixing the bacon to the rest of the pizza.
[14:33:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's not a pizza without cheese
[14:34:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, wait, THAT's why OZ has so many poisonous things. divine retribution for pizza blasphemy.
[14:35:05] <c0lo> =w pizza marinara
[14:35:06] <systemd> Pizza marinara is a style of Neapolitan pizza in Italian cuisine seasoned with only tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, oregano and garlic. The name has - https://en.wikipedia.org
[14:35:15] <c0lo> Note: no cheese.
[14:35:26] * AzumaHazuki would eat it anyway :9
[14:35:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> we call those bread sticks here
[14:35:55] <AzumaHazuki> also am i like the only one who doesn't get the "NYC vs Chicago" pizza wars? I love them both. they're different but they're different in awesome ways
[14:35:59] <FatPhil> I used to share a flat with an Italian, I've had all sorts of pizzas without cheese. Potato pizza was a wierd one.
[14:36:48] <c0lo> Well, when you put sushi and banana on top, you can call it whatever you like, TMB
[14:38:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, shurg. i am not a deep dish fan. pizza needs to be portable. preferably foldable so the toppings don't spill off on the go.
[14:39:58] * c0lo always carry his pizza in his belly. Portable, see?
[14:40:28] <Bytram> how 'bout how the pizza is baked? Brick oven vs NY style (lotsa oil)
[14:41:09] <AzumaHazuki> lol
[14:41:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> ain't that picky as long as i can grab a slice and walk around with it. chicago deep dish is quite good, mind you, but it's a casserole not a pizza.
[14:42:34] * Bytram favors brick oven, but I must admit (though it's been decades) there was a time when a Large Pizzareia Uno deep dish pizza made a (very filling) meal for me.

[15:00:56] <c0lo> Lemme think. I has 2 sammiches with cottage cheese at 11AM, some dumplings at 17... that's why I was hungry.

[16:22:35] <FatPhil> Yes, the name is "fucking useless bank is fucking useless, and didn't transfer my gravy last month, which might get flagged as a default against the social security system, and disrupt my health insurance"
[16:22:49] <FatPhil> I love banks, me.
[16:25:06] <FatPhil> One of the banks we use have finally confessed to having an utterly useless web interface. They owned up to having *way too many people coming into the branch to do transactions* right now, and complaining about the web banking. (And we are at a hospitals-full covid peak currently, so not good optics.)
[16:25:44] <FatPhil> Well, that's the optimistic view, the pessimistic view is that we're not at the peak yet.

[22:25:40] <Ellenor> :/
[22:25:42] <FatPhil> Left the UK 21 years ago, been Eurozone practically the whole time since.
[22:26:39] <Ellenor> FatPhil: Do you plan to switch your current account to a different bank, since yours is jerking you around?
[22:27:27] <Ellenor> Do they call them chequing accounts in your current country like they do in Canada and the US?
[22:27:56] <FatPhil> Both the personal account and the business account are with that bank, and all my standing orders are set up from there. It's too much hassle to move, and I don't believe any other bank would be better.
[22:28:22] <FatPhil> Checks are so last-century!
[22:34:25] <FatPhil> I don't think the current country of Estonia has ever seen a check. When they created their banking system with a clean slate, they skipped all the legacy shit.
[22:34:55] <Ellenor> FatPhil: So, the last time they used cheques was under Soviet occupation?
[22:35:38] <chromas> Have they seen any Czechs though?
[22:35:53] <Runaway1956> Czechs are not legal tender
[22:40:00] <Ellenor> neither are cheques
[22:40:08] <Ellenor> cheques tend to be negotiable instruments
