[01:21:41] -!- boru has quit [Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by boru`!~boru@hfam-76-975-966-05.dynamic.mnet-online.de))]
[01:21:44] boru` is now known as boru
[01:33:49] <tedious> So now people can't even defend themselves in their kitchen by grabbing a scary looking knife?
[01:34:02] <tedious> How is this supposed to help make people safer?
[01:34:51] <chromas> no you just have to stop supporting local businesses and buy your kitchen hardware from the internet
[01:36:11] <tedious> Please tell me you're kidding and I'm just not good at getting the joke.
[01:36:51] <chromas> you can still have a knoife, it's just that the stores aren't selling them now
[01:37:14] <chromas> or maybe they'll put them behind windows like playstations
[01:40:43] <tedious> So you mean now it's legal to buy a knife from amazon but not a smaller store?
[01:41:20] <chromas> looks like it's just the store deciding not to sell the knives...no new laws or anything
[01:43:12] <tedious> Doesn't that end up at the same place tho?
[01:44:41] <chromas> maybe. the article says they're doing it to protect their employees, who were the ones attacked in that particular incident
[01:44:43] <tedious> What is amazon going to do when someody buys a knife from them and uses it to stab somebody?
[01:44:58] <chromas> doesn't matter as long as it doesn't happen at amazon :)
[01:45:17] <tedious> If I was a lawyer I'd start calling up the families of stabbing victims and offering to sue amazon if that's where the knife came from.
[01:46:30] <chromas> they don't explicitly say it, but I assume the attacker must've grabbed a knife off a shelf
[01:47:41] <chromas> but they also want you to know that it wasn't his faith, culture or ethnicity that caused the attack and also an unrelated white supremacist incident happened once
[01:47:43] <tedious> What if the next one grabs a hammer from a hardware store?
[01:48:27] <chromas> there's no point
[01:48:49] <tedious> But if other stores are doing the same thing this isn't about one incident.
[01:48:53] <chromas> but thumbtacks have points
[01:49:37] <chromas> if new zealand is anything like the states then it was probably provoked by the feds
[01:49:46] <tedious> And I am starting to get really suspicious whenever I see that isis is involved somehow.
[01:49:53] <tedious> Yeah.
[01:50:43] <tedious> How did he get shot and killed in about a minute later?
[01:51:05] <tedious> Did he walk past a cop to grab the knife and decided to go ahead and stab anyway?
[01:51:19] <chromas> maybe they have guns there
[01:51:43] <tedious> For sale in the grocery store?
[01:51:50] <chromas> probably let by the us. have we evacuated any military from there recently?
[01:51:58] <chromas> left
[01:51:58] <tedious> This is all sketch af.
[01:52:24] <chromas> or the gun was a set piece from yet another hollywood movie being shot there
[01:53:23] <tedious> This reminds me of that guy who shot a bunch of people in that grocery store in colorado.
[01:53:43] <tedious> Soopers or whatever it's called.
[01:54:18] <chromas> was he a white supremacist or was he an individual unassociated with his faith, culture and ethnicity?
[01:54:24] <tedious> There was video of one of the greeters at the front of the store just standing around looking at his phone when the camera guy showed up and there are shots coming from inside the building.
[01:54:43] <tedious> And yet the old dude is still standing around looking at his phone.
[01:54:58] <tedious> Like no fucking way is that real.
[01:55:43] <tedious> He was some young muslim guy allegedly.
[01:55:52] <chromas> ah, so the second option
[01:56:02] <Bytram> https://www.the-scientist.com
[01:56:03] <systemd> ^ 03Talking Duck Stuns Animal Behavior Researcher
[01:56:29] <chromas> did the duck really talk or was it just at a political rally?
[01:56:33] <chromas> or was it a tedx talk?
[01:56:53] <Bytram> =asub from the that-is-just-daffy dept. https://www.the-scientist.com
[01:57:09] <Bytram> ???
[01:57:26] <tedious> So we have a fake shooting at a grocery store that looks like it was filmed by clueless high school kids and then we have a stabbing at another grocery store that probably isn't much better.
[01:57:51] <chromas> dunno. it spun off a thread but it's not using any cpu
[01:58:10] <chromas> perhaps it was Captain Stabbin'. Anyone remember him?
[01:58:37] <Bytram> Captain Stubin

[01:58:56] <chromas> he had more than a stub
[01:59:26] <Bytram> stubborn?
[01:59:40] <chromas> no it was a porn series
[02:00:09] <chromas> maybe he was named after the loveboat character
[02:00:10] <Bytram> beats me, then,
[02:00:23] <chromas> no, you do the beating while he does the meating
[02:01:11] <Bytram> you can't have any pudding!

[10:00:58] <TheMightyChickadee> How much longer does the pogrom go on? Asking for a friend.
[10:03:47] <janrinok> Which pogrom? From wikipedia - "A pogrom is a violent riot which is aimed at the massacre or expulsion of an ethnic or religious group, particularly Jews". I have searched all of our stories and cannot find one referring to the subject.
[10:11:21] <TheMightyChickadee> That's it.
[10:15:28] <janrinok> Who has used violence? Which ethnic group is being expelled? My friend would love to help your friend but he hasn't got a clue what you are talking about.

[14:31:53] <janrinok> oh dear - my weather alert has just told me that Hurricane Larry is only 3271 miles away!
[14:32:56] <janrinok> Best I board up the windows and stock up on chlli chips just in case. Oh, and get plenty of beer in too
[14:42:59] -!- inky [inky!~inky@45.91.org.wv] has joined #soylent
[14:51:48] <FatPhil> is it 3271 and gaining, or 3271 and retreating?
[14:51:58] <FatPhil> if it's the latter, you're going to need even more beer...

[14:54:49] <janrinok> good point - I don't know, so I had best take the safest option.
[14:58:07] -!- soybull has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[15:05:27] <Runaway1956> I would leave the boarding of windows to Homeland Security, since they do such a good job of boarding migrants.
[15:05:38] <Runaway1956> Or FEMA.
[15:06:05] <janrinok> FatPhil, you appear to have survived the beer festival - did you manage to meet with your 'least favourite' brewery rep?
[15:07:45] <janrinok> your whole country is made up of migrants apart from a few indigenous Indians who didn't get treated very well, as I recall.
[15:07:59] <janrinok> Runaway1956, ^
[15:08:19] <Runaway1956> Our Indians aren't from India, we think they're from Siberia
[15:08:34] <janrinok> and how is your server serving?
[15:08:39] <Runaway1956> I should have been playing Cowboys and Siberians when I was a kid
[15:09:06] <Runaway1956> The server seems to work alright - but when it operates in DNS server role, it screws up my network
[15:09:16] <janrinok> how come?
[15:09:22] <Runaway1956> and I'm not smart enough to figure out what I've done wrong
[15:09:46] <janrinok> I am assuming that you only have 1 DNS server working at a time?
[15:09:51] <Runaway1956> I'm still working on first cup of java, can't think that deeply
[15:10:06] <Runaway1956> Well, there's the modem/gateway
[15:10:26] <janrinok> is that providing DNS too
[15:10:35] <Runaway1956> Yeah, does so by default
[15:10:57] <Runaway1956> Maybe if my brain unfuzzes, I'll start looking at that.
[15:11:08] <janrinok> there's your problem I would guess. They are probably trying to allocate different addresses to each computer
[15:11:42] <Runaway1956> Yup, something like that - it seems to work for some hours, then it falls apart
[15:12:02] <Runaway1956> It would be nice if it fell apart immediately, then I could play with things, and know they work
[15:12:07] <Runaway1956> or, know they don't work
[15:12:51] <janrinok> understood, I would try turning the modem/gateway DNS off, and seeing if your new shiny takes over.
[15:13:30] <Runaway1956> Yeah, I'm thinking in that direction, but if family tries to go on the interwebz and can't find anything, they'll cry
[15:13:58] <janrinok> yep - that happens
[15:14:01] <Runaway1956> can you imagine 87 people sniveling because they can't facebook
[15:14:27] <janrinok> you need to stop procreating if your family is that big....
[15:14:59] <Runaway1956> Well, the procreating stopped some years ago, but then the family started procreating and recreating and etc
[15:15:23] <janrinok> damn, you will have to find out what is causing it...!
[15:15:33] <Runaway1956> lol
[15:15:58] * Runaway1956 creates a procreating free zone
[15:16:32] <janrinok> that'll go down well, especially if there is no alternative like Facebook to fill the void
[15:16:47] * Runaway1956 also decides to remove DNS server role from the server again
[15:17:00] <janrinok> that is another good solution
[15:17:36] <Runaway1956> There is also that advice from The Expanse - watch the doors and corners
[15:17:46] <Runaway1956> and just break out all the windows
[15:18:07] <janrinok> I wondered where that was going for a few moments there
[15:18:53] <Runaway1956> This may be a bad day - first cup of coffee has done nothing for the fuzzy muzzy headedness
[15:19:10] <janrinok> have another and keep filling the pot
[15:19:14] <Runaway1956> coffee++
[15:19:14] <Bender> karma - coffee: 5588
[15:20:38] <janrinok> I'll leave you to finish your morning topping up and chat with you later

[18:08:52] <Runaway1956> Oooh I checked traffic cameras in Louisiana - 4 cams operating in Kenner and Metarie showing moderate traffic
[18:09:28] <Runaway1956> 5 more cams in New Orleans, showing moderate traffic, one of them moving pretty slowly
[18:09:36] <Runaway1956> make that six cams

[18:12:58] <Runaway1956> Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Lake Charles are all normal - none of them really got hit hard
[18:13:21] <requerdanos> I see
[18:15:10] <Runaway1956> The Entergy map seems to show that most of New Orleans area has electricity on, still a couple big red patches, and some red spots here and there
[18:16:11] <Runaway1956> huge red zone north west of New Orleans proper
[18:16:28] <requerdanos> probably less population-dense?
[18:16:52] <Runaway1956> Uhhhhh, not really, probably suffered more severe damage
[18:17:37] <Runaway1956> Going further west, past Laplace, the population density drops off quickly
[18:17:54] <Runaway1956> All of Laplace is in the red
[18:19:04] <Runaway1956> So, they are obviously recovering much quicker than after Katrina
[18:20:11] <requerdanos> Well, you know, no bush-president working against them chanting bad weather-event juju over them
[18:20:31] <Runaway1956> What I no longer see on their map, is the estimate of how many Entergy customers are without power
[18:20:57] <Runaway1956> the initial estimate was 1 million customers, I saw it drop down to 900,000, now it's just missing

[18:22:42] <Runaway1956> Yeah, outages are down to 446,000 - they've done a lot of work
