[11:54:13] <boru> I wonder where people think all of their rubbish actually goes after they throw it away, either in a recycle bin, or general waste.
[11:54:25] <t3> visible garbage is only the tip of the iceberg in pollution
[11:54:37] <boru> Quite so.
[11:57:37] <t3> PFAS is damn near everywhere it's been tested for
[11:58:11] <boru> I must admit, when I am given a task to refactor some very important dark corner of a codebase that people don't go near, I am invariably dismayed about what I find there.
[11:59:27] <chromas> !grab boru
[11:59:27] <Bender> Added quote 1051
[11:59:51] <boru> Today, we've finally hit data rates where corruption occurs because the people who originally wrote the code don't actually understand how peripheral-to-memory DMA works, and their code luckily worked most of the time, and silently failed the rest of the time.
[12:00:24] <boru> Don't grab that, it was bad use of english.
[12:00:40] <boru> I should be dismayed _by_ what I find there.
[12:01:24] <boru> Context switching between languages is doing this to me a lot lately.

[12:05:12] <chromas> it's more of a wisdom grab than a humorous one

[12:33:07] <boru> Well, by the sounds of the accents, they got actors from far and wide. I hear Manx, North Irish, West Scottish, can't place the woman's accent.

[13:36:03] <FatPhil> Don't know Chewin' the Fat at all, just past my time in the UK, not that I had a telly for the last few years.
[13:37:08] <FatPhil> Scotland has a great tradition for its sketch comedy. /Absolutely/ and /Naked Video/ spring to mind, but there was another one too whose name escapes me right now.
[13:38:00] <boru> What's your man's name who did the skits about the live TV RPG thing.
[13:38:15] <boru> Milly or something like that.
[13:38:29] <FatPhil> Doesn't ring a bell
[13:38:54] <boru> Limmy, that's his name.
[13:39:14] <boru> Very apt skits about life in Glasgow.
[13:40:42] <FatPhil> "Limmy has been noted for the parody tributes he often tweets on the announcement of a celebrity's death; he invariably posts that he "had the pleasure of meeting [them] at a charity do once. [They were] surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny". Following the death of nightclub owner Peter Stringfellow, his tweet was mistakenly reported as a genuine tribute by Sky News." - I approve!
[13:41:47] <boru> I don't know if you remember Jam at all. ISTR Limmy was in one of those as well, but I might be misremembering. Jam was bloody weird, but also great.
[13:41:57] <FatPhil> Chris Morris?
[13:42:00] <boru> Yeah.
[13:42:13] <FatPhil> Only seen a couple, couldn't really get into it.
[13:42:18] <boru> That show only really made sense to me at the time it was aired when I couldn't sleep.
[13:42:46] <boru> I think there were only six of them made before C4 thought that they never wanted to make any more of them ever.
[13:44:02] <FatPhil> I seem to remember there was a funny bit about the guy who wasn't really sure he wanted to commit suicide, so jumped from a 1st floor window repeatedly.
[13:44:09] <boru> You might need subtitles: https://www.youtube.com
[13:44:12] <systemd> ^ 03Limmy's Show - Laptop Sketch
[13:44:13] <boru> Yeah, that was Jam.
[13:45:18] <boru> That sketch is a good account of the East End of Glasgow.
[13:45:39] <FatPhil> I'm generally a fan of Morris. Paedogeddon, and the whole Brass Eye series was excellent, absolute classic.
[13:45:58] <boru> That's that fella that does the Dead Parrot thing? He's gas as well.
[13:46:15] <FatPhil> g/f I still say to each other "you're wrong, and you're a grotesquely ugly freak" all the time.
[13:46:19] <boru> Peter Serafinowicz, that's it.
[13:46:30] <boru> I like parody ads: https://www.youtube.com

[13:47:26] <FatPhil> Serafinowicz is a good support guy, not sure if he has the chops to lead a show.
[13:47:47] <boru> I actually haven't seen him outside of that show.

[13:55:57] <FatPhil> Last thing I saw Serafinowicz in was /Spy/ with Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham, IIRC.
[13:55:59] <chromas> Maybe they didn't reset

[14:24:44] <chromas> When did the H become silent in words like "neanderthal" and "anaesthesia"?
[14:26:40] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Climate Changed the Size of Our Bodies – and Our Brains - https://sylnt.us - ho'mongus—it-big-brain-time
[14:29:10] <Bytram> chromas: not exactly *silent*; here it is pronounced more like "t" and *then* "h", instead of like in "this" and "breath".
[14:29:11] <t3> relatively recently, americans still say it in both of those
[14:29:33] <Bytram> yep
[14:29:45] <Bytram> really gtg; laters!
[14:30:28] <chromas> was that pronunciation invented by people who say "hwite" and "ve-hhhicle"?
[14:33:50] <t3> probably, I recall reading that american accents are much more similar to historical old-world accents than their modern counterparts
[14:34:23] <chromas> The Brits didn't want to be associated with us peasants

[15:11:16] <raxas> you just failed to pass our easy foreign agent detection method
[15:18:24] <chromas> cool. that means you think I'm not foreign, right?
[15:33:31] <FatPhil> I always consider that to be more of a voiced fricative than a trill. Then again, that's because I'm entirely non-rhotic, and can't get a hint of a trill out of my attempts to pronounce it.
[15:51:52] <chromas> If you don't have rhoticity, you could at least have rotisserie

[22:18:13] <requerdanos> Today I saw someone in the wild wearing a shirt declaring "Fauci Lied - People Died - Trump Won". Oops, pretend I said that in #politics
[22:28:04] <FatPhil> more appropriate in #mentalillness
[22:32:51] <chromas> What's the difference?
[22:33:59] <Bytram> hmmm, I wonder if rust could be considered metalillness?
[22:34:10] <chromas> I guess one's a subset of the other
[22:34:41] <chromas> Bytram: kinda flaky
[22:34:56] <Bytram> the opposite of subset it superstand!
[22:36:13] <chromas> Does that mean the opposite of substantial is supersitial?
[22:36:16] <chromas> or supersetial
[22:37:05] <Bytram> I think there's some mis-oversitting going on here
[22:38:37] <chromas> misterunderlying coming off there
[22:39:11] <requerdanos> I mean, they guy was remembering to breathe and all, but wanted everyone to know he was not bright enough to participate in reality
[22:40:21] <chromas> he rejects your reality and substitutes his own
[22:41:28] <Bytram> He just though that since he was entitled to his own opinion, he was also entitled to his own facts.
[22:42:39] <requerdanos> I, somewhat controversially at times, believe in an actual objective reality. His advertised facts and beliefs are not a part of that reality, also known as "Actual Reality" or just "Reality". The controversy over that takes me by surprise at times.

[22:46:15] <chromas> What do you think the grandparents' bed smelled like since they apparently lived in it 24h/day for decades?
[22:46:20] <requerdanos> I infer from the guy's shirt wording that (1) the dead people are because of someone's screw-up, and (2) he denies any trump responsibility for same, instead it's all fauci's fault
[22:46:43] <chromas> yeah he should've mentioned cuomo instead
[22:46:52] <requerdanos> I try not to think about willy wonka bed fragrances tbh
[22:48:22] <FatPhil> it's alright, they had a plastic undersheet
[22:50:12] <FatPhil> damn, looks like I missed some good stories over the weekend. just playing catchup now.
[22:52:18] <Bytram> Maybe that was catsup? Or possibly ketchup?
[22:52:51] <requerdanos> or mustard. As in, I musta read that somewhere.
[22:53:18] <Bytram> aka rodent droppings
[22:54:38] <requerdanos> the plastic undersheet thing is killing me. How plastic bedcovers do more than make the smell portable is beyond me
