[21:35:55] <raxas> got first batch of extremely strong magnets yesterday. built a halbach array from these. need more of the same
[21:37:23] <raxas> fun fact: vaxxed people around me getting crazy about them, urging me to get rid of them immediately. they say touching this hurts them badly with pain
[21:37:48] <raxas> the same people who kept telling mi magnetism in vaxxed people is a hoax
[21:38:29] <raxas> I keep telling them their pain feeling is just a hoax and never touch my magnets

[22:38:59] <Bytram> Runaway1956: Possibly. Or maybe Trump & friends have been *really* encouraging the gun-loving folk with a never-ending stream of conspiracy theories -- they either give up on Trump or buy[*] in even more? [*] pun intended.
[22:39:51] <Runaway1956> There's not real conspiracy theory - Biden, Chipman, and several others are constantly making comments about kicking doors in to confiscate weaons
[22:40:28] <Runaway1956> Most recently, Biden made asinine comments condemning 9mm handguns
[22:42:13] * Bytram is not aware of any of these. Not saying didn't happen, just that I am not aware. Do you have any links?
[22:42:28] <Runaway1956> Wait one -
[22:43:20] <requerdanos> I am sure "the propaganda about guns" has some juicy tidbits in that vein.

[22:43:30] <systemd> ^ 03Did Joe Biden Really Call for a 9mm Handgun Ban?
[22:43:38] <FatPhil> funny how you should only remember the calibre, not the magazine size. his comment was actually about magazine capacity more than anything else.
[22:43:59] <FatPhil> but I wouldn't expect you to remember any of the facts that don't support your rather narrow narrative.
[22:44:16] <Runaway1956> I suspect that Biden didn't really mean what he said - he's not smart enough to know the difference between a .50 cal machine gun and a semiauto 9mm
[22:44:22] <FatPhil> so the answer to that betteridging is "No".
[22:44:37] <FatPhil> you've performed a grade school "some therefore all" fallacy
[22:45:01] <Runaway1956> Why do you hate 'Murica, FatPhil?
[22:45:05] <Bytram> Runaway1956: I should have been more specific. I was looking for a video link -- and preferably not a short sound bite taken out of context.
[22:45:26] <Runaway1956> You want to see us disarmed like Castro disarmed Cuba

[22:46:07] <Bytram> k
[22:46:52] <Bytram> ugh.
[22:47:28] <requerdanos> Is there anyone who doesn't smell like gun oil and propaganda who is saying Biden is anti-pistol?
[22:47:29] <Runaway1956> I think this is the speech, which starts off with lies, and goes on to bigger lies

[22:48:31] <FatPhil> I hate the stupid bits of 'Murica. You're committing a grade school "some therefore all" fallacy.
[22:48:47] <FatPhil> Noticing a pattern?
[22:49:11] <Runaway1956> Fatphil - the Dems forced this senile bastard on us - they can live with it
[22:49:12] <Bytram> Runaway1956: I cannot seem to d/l that with youtube-dl -- I really prefer to not leave a trail across a trail of (possibly biased) web sites. Do you have something om youtube?
[22:49:56] * Bytram just saw last link
[22:49:57] <chromas> That was om youtube
[22:50:05] <requerdanos> "The Dems"? sure, they nominated him, but there was a free and fair election in which voters made the choice to put Biden, like him or not, into office...
[22:50:09] <Runaway1956> That last one was on youtube
[22:50:24] <chromas> #NotMyPresident
[22:50:33] <Runaway1956> #resistance
[22:50:41] <requerdanos> I mean, "The Pubs" nominated someone too, and look what that got em
[22:50:47] <Bytram> yes, I was finishing typing while that came in
[22:50:51] <Bytram> retrieving now
[22:51:03] * chromas screams to the sky
[22:51:30] <requerdanos> The libertarians also nominated someone. IIRC the greens did too.
[22:51:59] * Runaway1956 sees that Bytram has caught on the vast right wing conspiracy to track people across the internets
[22:52:21] <Runaway1956> whoops, my mistake - that's mostly liberals doing the tracking - Bit Tech Liberals
[22:52:24] <requerdanos> that's kind of a multi-wing patriot act-ish NSA type thing
[22:52:27] <t3> Democrat talk about guns is all about inner-city crime, but they can't say it like that in public or their base would flip
[22:52:29] <chromas> only left-wing tracking from google and facebook is good

[22:53:50] <chromas> I've seen that link somewhere before
[22:53:52] <chromas> oh wait
[22:54:17] <requerdanos> so that's a video from a neutral source? or perhaps from people who want guns banned? What, no, just more gun nuts ranting?
[22:54:35] <requerdanos> It's almost as if a pattern is forming
[22:54:46] <Bytram> Runaway1956: ^^^ struck me as NOT advocating the end of 9mm; more to ending high capacity magazines.
[22:54:59] <chromas> if Joe Biden is a gun nut
[22:55:04] <Runaway1956> I don't see what's wrong with 120 shot capacity - Hollywood can fire thousands of rounds without reloading!
[22:55:19] <requerdanos> Joe Biden likely didn't write the inflammatory "Biden is working to ban the sale of handguns"
[22:55:34] <Bytram> requerdanos++
[22:55:34] <Bender> karma - requerdanos: 37
[22:55:37] <Runaway1956> Sure, we can rationalize his lack of understanding of firearms
[22:55:47] <chromas> But he's the ranting gun nut in the video
[22:55:51] <Runaway1956> most gun control people know nothing about guns after all
[22:56:31] <Bytram> Runaway1956: s/gun control //
[22:56:31] <SedBot> <Bytram> <Runaway1956> most people know nothing about guns after all
[22:56:54] <Runaway1956> lolol
[22:57:12] <requerdanos> I am pretty sure that without guns we'd have less gun violence and more of other types of violence instead.

[22:59:51] * Bytram had bought his own 12-gauge shotgun and 30-30 while a teenager. Was grilled on gun safety from the very start. Sadly, that does not always happen. Jut because you can buy and shoot a gun does not make it safe.
[23:00:27] <chromas> But like Biden said in the video, they're not buying the guns legally anyhow

[23:00:44] <chromas> probably buying from the feds
[23:00:58] <Runaway1956> Fast and Furious, baby!!
[23:01:10] <Bytram> best what? hot dogs? lies? worthless videos?
[23:01:19] <requerdanos> Of course, if you consider those buying guns illegally, you have to wonder what effect further laws would have on that sort of crowd.
[23:01:27] <chromas> shhhh
[23:01:49] <Runaway1956> We're not supposed to think like that requerdanos!
[23:01:59] <Runaway1956> The thought police will be visiting you soon.
[23:02:04] <requerdanos> because I am pretty sure it's already illegal to shoot someone outside pretty rare circumstances.
[23:02:28] <Runaway1956> You'll look long and hard before finding wiser words.
[23:02:36] <chromas> I also like how he mentioned some legislation from when he was a senator, but not a certain other bill
[23:02:40] <Runaway1956> Criminals are gonna criminal.
[23:02:43] <Bytram> well, time for to butt out and watch some olympics and maybe push out a story or two.
[23:03:01] <chromas> speaking of worthless video
[23:03:05] <Runaway1956> Mask up before watching the olympics!
[23:03:49] <Bytram> chromas: FatPhil: speaking of which, I subbed a ready-to-go story (which is still in the submissions queue) last night
[23:04:19] <chromas> didn't look interesting
[23:05:24] * chromas sets dickery mode to 3
[23:05:59] <FatPhil> on dumbphone, can't do web 2.0
