[00:06:21] <systemd> ^ 03Britney Spears' conservatorship ends

[00:06:32] <systemd> ^ 03US judge dissolves Britney Spears’ nearly 14-year conservatorship
[00:55:45] <Runaway1956> Kamela's approval rating is now lower than Dick Cheney - the guy who shot his best friend in the face.
[00:57:51] <requerdanos> wait, said friend had a gun. according to you yesterday, that means he should rightly have been shot
[00:58:18] <Runaway1956> Huh? Which friend? I ain't got no friends, so I don't have to shoot anyone.
[00:58:44] <requerdanos> the person that needs shooting so frequently isn't a friend, tbh, just the opposite
[00:59:13] <Runaway1956> Well, I was just going along with you when you said someone should shoot a friend.
[01:00:03] <Runaway1956> I missed the Unit 8200 up above. Does that have some meaning that intelligent people should understand?
[01:00:17] -!- SoyCow6035 [SoyCow6035!~5bc4dcf0@91.196.lgo.qst] has joined #soylent
[01:00:19] <SoyCow6035> If there's one good thing the hoaxdemic did, it was to rally Goyim against the Jews. Jews wanted parents labeled terrorists. Jews wanted everyday Joes and Janes to be labeled "murderers" for not getting the lobbyist-mandated death-juice. Yeah no, fuck you Jew rats. I wonder if Jews running big pharma could be charged with crimes against humanity?
[01:00:53] <Runaway1956> ImoGene . . .
[01:00:57] <SoyCow6035> Well, we'll see.
[01:01:09] <SoyCow6035> Oh look, a shabbos Goy!
[01:01:28] <Runaway1956> No, I won't shag you, Boy.
[01:01:36] <SoyCow6035> We got a real LeBron James here, pretending to be American while sucking off her enemies.
[01:02:09] <Runaway1956> Lemme guess - you're not really EF, you're aristarchus playing a sock puppet?
[01:02:33] <Runaway1956> It all begins to make sense now . . .
[01:02:36] <SoyCow6035> Jews are the ultimate scum of the universe.

[01:03:25] * Runaway1956 hugs Imo in her jeans
[01:10:04] <requerdanos> So the troll
[01:10:53] <requerdanos> has enemies: Jewish people (or the idea of them), mexican people (or, again, the idea of them), and ... people who recognize medicine?
[01:11:35] <Runaway1956> I would like to believe that it's all an act, he just loves shocking people around him
[01:12:02] <Runaway1956> Can't see how a hard core white supremacist survives in San Diego
[01:12:10] <requerdanos> I mean, before I say "no one could be that dumb", have to be very careful, because, sure, there are people that dumb
[01:12:48] <Runaway1956> Most of them live in the city, they wouldn't survive out here in Backwoods, Nowhere.

[01:15:01] <requerdanos> oh, now it's black folk and BLM supporters. Yeah, you're probably right, not actual beliefs, just a shock narrative.
[01:18:01] * Runaway1956 sighs
[01:18:19] <Runaway1956> the problem with clicking a clickbait video on Youtube is
[01:18:27] <Runaway1956> all they offer after that is clickbait
[01:18:42] <requerdanos> now that's truly shocking
[01:18:48] <Runaway1956> You can't just look down the rabbit hole
[01:18:59] <Runaway1956> you peek, they pull the shorings out from under you

[01:19:16] <SoyCow7665> Alooo Judenrats! Man, am I glad I ain't a Jew. They're just like Mexicans, that is, nobody likes them and even their own kind wish they'll fuck the fuck off back to nowhere.

[01:20:40] <requerdanos> other rabbit holes of youtube include searching for people who think the world has another shape than a globe, and some folks who think iirc that magnetism explains gravity
[01:21:06] <Runaway1956> They got it upside down - gravity explains magnetism
[01:21:22] <requerdanos> 'totally convincing evidence for aliens' is another fruit(ful|less) search term there.
[01:21:52] <Runaway1956> Well, don't click "the extraordinary man who has never forgotten anything"
[01:22:13] <Runaway1956> or "the kid who built his own nuclear reactor"
[01:22:49] <Runaway1956> Extrasensory perception, or life after death, or - well - enough
[01:23:45] <requerdanos> the stargate at the montauk project, government-kidnapped missing children being experimented on, -- yeah, enough

[06:46:06] <aristarchus> Such levels of paranoia! "Lemme guess - you're not really EF, you're aristarchus playing a sock puppet? " Yes, I am, Runaway! Your worst nightmare, which is going to tag you to the KKK and Nazis. Sorry.
[06:56:50] <Runaway1956> Tulsi Gabbard is being interviewed by the news media - maybe she gonna be president in 2025?
[06:57:08] <Runaway1956> She'll easily beat Kamel Toe or Biden.
[06:57:30] <Runaway1956> "Democrats ARE pushing racialization . . . "
[06:59:02] <Runaway1956> As for nightmares - you give yourself too much credit aristarchus. You're a nightmare like cholera is a nightmare.
[06:59:04] <aristarchus> Look up the Jagad Guru. Serious cult shit, and Tulsi was raised in that. The dirty things they attempted in Hawaiian politics should steer anyone clear of her.
[06:59:25] <Runaway1956> Tulsi is a Marine. Semper fi motherfucker.
[06:59:47] <aristarchus> Thought she was only National Guard?
[07:00:01] <Runaway1956> I'll support the craziest jarhead in the world, before I'll support your radical left.
[07:00:20] <Runaway1956> You thought? Try again.
[07:00:33] <aristarchus> And what is it, with Navy supply clerks, always sucking up (or down) to Marines? Real fighting dudes?
[07:00:52] <Runaway1956> You're still trying to think, and failing.
[07:01:29] <aristarchus> Runaway is not even trying, and still failing. You need to give it a rest, before you end badly.
[07:03:13] <Runaway1956> "The dirty things they did in Hawaiin politics . . . "
[07:03:33] <Runaway1956> Did you see the shit that the Dems have done in the past few elections?
[07:04:42] <aristarchus> So here is the reality, my deluded Tulsi enamoured Republican! Gabbard served in a field medical unit of the Hawaii Army National Guard while deployed to Iraq from 2004 to 2005 and was stationed in Kuwait from 2008 to 2009 as an Army Military Police platoon leader."
[07:05:12] <Runaway1956> Deployed to Iraq is key to your observation. Made you look, didn't I?
[07:06:10] <Runaway1956> And, FYI, deployed to a combat zone is better qualification than being a parasite in Washington D.C. for fifty years.
[07:07:42] <Runaway1956> Also, before you put her down as "just a medic" or some such nonsense, look up and study '4th gen warfare'. This ain't the 1800s when everyone formed up into ranks and charged as a division.
[07:08:19] <Runaway1956> "Only National Guard", LOL
[07:08:46] <aristarchus> My experience is that combat experience does little to increase the intellectual ability of humans. In fact, it often damages them, morally. And it certainly gives them no greater insight into policy or governance.
[07:09:21] <Runaway1956> You have no experience, all you do is sit around whichever pub you can find some fools to pay for your drinks
[07:09:32] <Runaway1956> while waxing mundane on the human condition
[07:09:38] <aristarchus> Medical unit, Hawaii National Guard. Not bad for a half-Samoan.
[07:09:47] <Runaway1956> Any combat vet can do better than you.
[07:10:06] <Runaway1956> Racist bastard, you don't like Samoans or half-Samoans now.
[07:10:43] <Runaway1956> But, I can see why you like Biden. He's a parasite, much like you.
[07:11:01] <Runaway1956> Parasites have to support each other.
[07:12:17] <aristarchus> You have no idea of my combat experience. I wish it upon no human. And I wish I had avoided it. But in any case, it vastly overwhelms your little experience on a tiny US boat, between wars. You are a coward and a violator of your oath of service, Runaway. That is timeless, and a universal dishonor.
[07:12:36] <aristarchus> A
[07:13:09] <aristarchus> Speaking of half-Samoans, I like the Rock! Might support him for Pres, if the right goes with celebs.
[07:14:24] <Runaway1956> You're still proving yourself a fuckwit. There are no non-combatants aboard a US Navy ship. Not even the corpsman. Idiot.
[07:14:56] <Runaway1956> And, why did you denigrate a half-Samoan just a few sentences back, if you like Samoans?
[07:15:10] <Runaway1956> Hypocrisy, meet thyself.
[07:16:51] * Runaway1956 wonders how many Pacific Islanders the racist has ever met in real life
[07:16:58] <AzumaHazuki> are you arguing with runaway again, ari?
[07:17:45] <AzumaHazuki> it's not worth it. he's long since burned his human card. don't waste your breath. he only exists to be fuel for the flames of his own personal Hell until he burns out his own evil
[07:17:48] <aristarchus> Oh, sorry, Runaway! Did I impinge upon your manhood? How could that be, when I know you only have a legacy 1911 Colt and a Remington with a dangerous trigger, and presumably some sort of a shotgun, to defend your wilted manhood from massive hordes of antifa and normal Americans? My apologies.
[07:18:27] <Runaway1956> You can't impinge on what you don't understand, fool.
[07:18:30] <aristarchus> As usual, Hazuki honto desu.
[07:18:41] <Runaway1956> All you can do is rattle your empty head.
[07:20:18] <aristarchus> Who is the ignorant moron here, Runaway? Tell me again what is the population of China. Tell me the law of self-defense as considers provocation! Tell me what the mean ratio of soybean to corn is in Armerican agriculture!
[07:20:54] <Runaway1956> Don't know WTF you're hung up on China. When did China first reach ~.5 billion people?
[07:22:57] <Runaway1956> "Not bad for a half-Samoan"
[07:22:58] <aristarchus> What is getting to me, is that this is the Bytram alleged landing place for future Soylentils, and when I check in, all I see is the Runaway//FatPhil show (replacing the former Runaway/Buzzard show) about the Rittenhauser trial. Disgusting, and not welcoming at all.
[07:23:25] <Runaway1956> You should find a place you feel more welcome then.
[07:23:46] <Runaway1956> An anti-American like yourself should find a home at CNN easily enough.
[07:24:31] <Runaway1956> And, what's with Rittenhauser - more racism bleeding through?
[07:25:02] <aristarchus> I am welcome here! I am a founding member. I have a voice, and it is you, and your Republican friends who have tried to expell me. Guess what, you racist misogynist facist supporting bastard with no cahones?
[07:25:07] <Runaway1956> You hate Teutonic people, so assigning a Teutonic-sounding name makes Kyle less than human?
[07:25:43] <Runaway1956> You're more like the shit eating dog that everyone tolerates, wandering around the yard, and shitting on the sidewalk.
[07:25:43] <chromas> What in tardation!
[07:26:07] <aristarchus> You are an ignorant moron, Runaway. I don't know what I can do at this point but repeat it. You will definitely not understand.
[07:26:13] <Runaway1956> Honestly, no one minds stepping over your dog turds.
[07:26:46] <aristarchus> You are a doo-doo head, Runaway!
[07:27:11] <aristarchus> You can't find Estonia on a map!
[07:27:13] <Runaway1956> Awwwww, losing the discussion, so he resorts to kindergarten name calling.
[07:27:33] <aristarchus> You have no idea what ontological implication is!
[07:27:34] <Runaway1956> East Stonia is right next to West Stonia, right where it belongs stupid.
[07:27:46] <chromas> Here's a boring fact: 100% of the people I've heard/seen unironically use the word "moron" are obnoxious twatwaffles who go around trying to start shit
[07:27:59] <aristarchus> Ask your bosom buddy, FatPhil.
[07:28:23] <Runaway1956> ROFLCOPTERS all around
[07:29:06] <aristarchus> Chromas seems to also be a ignorant moron, but one from the Northwest, where it takes more effort. TMB used to say that chromas was the far right behind SN.
[07:29:12] <Runaway1956> How many centuries have you spent gazing into your navel aristarchus?
[07:29:47] <aristarchus> Close to 24. How many seconds have you spent in self-reflection, Runaway?
[07:29:50] <Runaway1956> And, why do you think the world gives a damn about the lint in your bellybutton?
[07:30:38] <aristarchus> Typical mistake of the optical focal point for the point of the reflection. What a maroon.
[07:30:57] <Runaway1956> Yeah, that's what I just said.
[07:31:19] <chromas> How's that mac?
[07:31:30] <aristarchus> Sure it is, if that is what you want to believe.
[07:31:39] <Runaway1956> I'm still trying to install Windoze on it.
[07:31:59] <Runaway1956> You're the one who mistakes ontological with scatology
[07:32:26] <Runaway1956> You sit on the sidewalk, staring at the turds you just dropped, trying to find meaning in the universe.
[07:33:29] <aristarchus> The emphasis is on the implication, the process of thought, not the physical turd you left behind. I can see that this is a distinction that escapes you.
[07:33:31] <Runaway1956> <aristarchus> You are a doo-doo head, Runaway!
[07:33:47] <aristarchus> And, am I wrong?
[07:34:12] <Runaway1956> You are into dis-stink-shun, correct? Shit up the world, and enjoy the aroma!
[07:35:08] <Runaway1956> Twatwaffle, lol.
[07:37:09] <aristarchus> Yes, typical Arkansasian shithead. Probably voted Republicans, to give tax breaks to the rich, to help out th working man!
[07:37:51] <Runaway1956> I'm still interested in how many Pacific Islanders you have ever met, now that you've denigrated the only one you probably know the name of.
[07:38:02] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[07:39:46] <aristarchus> When you are nearly 2400 years old, and have lived all around this Globe (you may be reminded, I nearly measured it!) you can be sure I have known many Polynesians, and Micronesians, and even Melanesians.
[07:40:08] <Runaway1956> That ROFLCOPTER just keeps getting louder
[07:40:17] <chromas> hm, so ari's an ultra-boomer
[07:40:49] <Runaway1956> flatulence and utra-boomer seem to go together
[07:40:50] <chromas> probably explains why he types to slowly
[07:41:00] <aristarchus> Truly, you are an ignorant moron, Runaway. Do you know the difference between Pacific islanders?
[07:41:21] <chromas> I figured he was just typing one-handed while kneading himself with the other
[07:41:25] <Runaway1956> Perhaps you've missed a fact in your database
[07:41:42] <Runaway1956> My squad leader was a Pacific Islander
[07:41:59] <Runaway1956> I asked him one day, "Nepo, did you ever eat anyone?"
[07:42:08] <aristarchus> Runaway and chromas insults are singularly non-significant. You both are ignorant morons, and your insults do not help your case.
[07:42:12] <Runaway1956> He sez, "I don't know, I ate whatever my mother gave me."
[07:42:41] <aristarchus> And, I may point out, IRC conversation like this is killing SoylentNews. Just saying.
[07:42:59] <Runaway1956> So, why do you come in and start insulting people?
[07:43:18] <Runaway1956> It's your need to dominate and control that brings you in here.
[07:43:26] <Runaway1956> typical authoritarian leftist
[07:43:34] <aristarchus> Only as requested and deserved.
[07:44:01] <chromas> "they were asking for it!"
[07:44:17] <aristarchus> I am controlling you, with the truth, and by exposing your errors, Runaway! Respect my awesome authority!
[07:45:32] <chromas> kyonko's a better bot
[07:45:44] <Runaway1956> If truth came out of the forest and bit you in the ass, you wouldn't recognize it
[07:45:59] <Runaway1956> Tell us more about the racist CRT theories
[07:46:15] <chromas> That's just a conspiracy by Big LCD
[07:47:10] <aristarchus> Well, if you really want to know, but I suspect you do not, and are part of the vast right-wing conspiracy to make white people afraid. They are not even really "white", you know, like Runaway the mostly Polack.
[07:48:12] <Runaway1956> I am perfectly aware that Polacks aren't white - I think I've related that my grandfather could not buy two acres of land that were deeded to be sold to only "white men"
[07:48:23] <Runaway1956> Women and polacks need not inquire.
[07:49:05] <aristarchus> So you side with Neo-nazis that would do the same to you? Amazing.
[07:49:33] <Runaway1956> No, I stand in opposition to you and your CRT and all the rest of the crap you gush
[07:50:04] <aristarchus> That's nice. Might be important, if you understood any of it.
[07:50:33] <Runaway1956> I understand perfectly that the Dem party would like to see a race war.
[07:50:45] <Runaway1956> Which party is pushing for segregation today?
[07:51:03] <Runaway1956> That would be the Race-O-Crats
[07:51:16] <aristarchus> Statements like that are direct evidence that you have no idea what CRT is. You are stupid beyond belief, Runaway!
[07:51:40] <Runaway1956> Correction: You wish I were stupid enough to believe the crap you gush.
[07:52:04] <Runaway1956> How about that 1313 project?
[07:52:33] <Runaway1956> Like CRT, they state that facts are unimportant, it's how you feel about history that matters.
[07:52:44] <aristarchus> No, really, you are an ignorant moron. I have advanced education, I am smarter than you, I know more, and from my perspective, which is better than yours, you are an ignorant moron.
[07:53:01] * Runaway1956 yawns
[07:53:01] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into Runaway1956's gaping mouth
[07:53:08] <chromas> Kinda weird you've never demonstrated any sort of education.
[07:53:15] * Runaway1956 laughs at the twatwaffle
[07:54:04] <Runaway1956> Ari's "philosophy" in a nutshell: I think that I am superior, therefore all others are inferior.
[07:54:20] <Runaway1956> Sounds a lot like Neitsche and Hitler.
[07:55:10] <Runaway1956> Chromas - he spelled ontology or ontological a little earlier, he *MUST BE* edumacated.
[07:58:14] <aristarchus> This is the thing about ignorant morons, they do not know they are, and they do not care. The Dunning–Kruger effect is strong in Runaway, invincible, mostly.
[07:59:10] <aristarchus> And, actually, in all factual matters, let alone mathematics and metaphysics, I have been superior to our GED Runaway.
[08:00:44] <Runaway1956> Which colleges have you attended, and which ones awarded you degrees?
[08:01:19] <Runaway1956> I'm quite sure you have a gallery dedicated to your degrees, each carefully framed in mahogany.
[08:01:55] <aristarchus> Taught at the School of Alexandria, which you would know, if you could read, and do history.
[08:02:37] <Runaway1956> No, seriously. I'm not asking about the real Aristarchus, I'm asking about the lardass progressive sitting at your keyboard.
[08:04:40] <aristarchus> Are you accusing me of not being who I say I am?
[08:05:09] <Runaway1956> We all know your type - never been anywhere, never done anything, never met anyone, can't do anything but whine.
[08:05:42] <Runaway1956> I told you last night that no one beleives you are who you say you are.
[08:05:49] <aristarchus> I have never asked you who you really are, besides some Finland employed Arkansas dirt farmer and former trucker.
[08:06:03] <Runaway1956> You change personnas like most of us change underwear.
[08:06:37] <aristarchus> I was not on IRC last night. Clearly you have me confused with another of your demons that haunt your Republican brain.
[08:06:40] <Runaway1956> Never asked who I am - you've just built a database on me, trying to intimidate me to shut up?
[08:07:59] <aristarchus> Oh, my dear Runaway, only late in the game did you realize the value of not posting personally identifying details online, like your SilverWing and Trailblazer, and letters to various editors.
[08:08:43] <aristarchus> Your real identity is safe with me. Can't speak for other Soylentils, however.
[08:08:43] <Runaway1956> There is no value in those things you cherish - I did NOT say that I am intimidated, I only point out that you TRY to intimidate me
[08:11:18] <aristarchus> Are you afraid. Runaway? Did you not have your sockpuppet post a long diatribe against SWATing. Are you afraid?
[08:12:29] <Runaway1956> Ain't skeered, fool. But SWATing is against the law, and you know it. You should come visit in person, and tell your tales of woe to the county sheriff eyeball to eyeball
[08:12:50] <Runaway1956> He would probably be happy to personally make up a bed for you in the county jail.
[08:13:57] <Runaway1956> In all the years you've been making an ass of yourself you are the only one who has made threats of any kind.
[08:14:06] <aristarchus> FBI has been there before me, fool.
[08:14:59] <Runaway1956> The FBI has more interest in your threats of SWATing than anything I have ever said or done. Go ahead, call them - again.
[08:16:10] <aristarchus> Never threatened any such thing. But you have things to worry about, with your support of illegal insurrection, and racial genocide, and what not.
[08:17:14] <aristarchus> BTW, aren't you supposed to be working now, tending the vacuum injectors?
[08:17:25] <Runaway1956> I has nothing to worry about. But, feel free to come down to the world famous Boggy Marsh Swamp for a visit.
[08:17:55] <Runaway1956> You should call HR and ask them. They'll tell you that Runaway does whatever the hell he wants to do.
[08:19:23] <aristarchus> Cool story, bro! Not worried about them finding out that whatever you want to do is of no value to your employer?
[08:19:44] <Runaway1956> Not worried at all. I've spent a lifetime doing whatever I want.
[08:20:27] <Runaway1956> I've stopped to talk to the Aleut, the Apache, the Moro, the Puerto Rican, and dozens more
[08:20:41] <Runaway1956> unlike yourself who has never met a Pacific Islander
[08:21:21] <Runaway1956> I've never knowingly stooped to talking to Greeks though.
[08:21:35] <Runaway1956> Or, faux Greeks.
[08:22:04] <aristarchus> You are truly the perfect asshole, Runaway!
[08:22:27] <Runaway1956> Finally. You recognize me. Yes, I am an asshole. And, yes, I am perfect.
[08:22:49] <Runaway1956> You could aspire to that level. You'll never reach it, but you could aspire.
[08:23:31] <aristarchus> Aspire implies upwards, as in ad astra aspera, not downwards to your level.
[08:24:02] <Runaway1956> In your upside down progressive world, you wouldn't know up from down, left from right, inside from outside.
[08:24:27] <Runaway1956> Tell us more about CRT segregation?
[08:26:27] <Runaway1956> We've fought with many men acrost the seas,
[08:26:27] <Runaway1956> An' some of 'em was brave an' some was not:
[08:26:27] <Runaway1956> The Paythan an' the Zulu an' Burmese;
[08:26:27] <Runaway1956> But the Fuzzy was the finest o' the lot.
[08:26:58] <Runaway1956> We never got a ha'porth's change of 'im:
[08:26:58] <Runaway1956> 'E squatted in the scrub an' 'ocked our 'orses,
[08:26:58] <Runaway1956> 'E cut our sentries up at Sua~kim~,
[08:26:58] <Runaway1956> An' 'e played the cat an' banjo with our forces.
[08:27:16] <Runaway1956> So 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan;
[08:27:17] <Runaway1956> You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
[08:27:17] <Runaway1956> We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
[08:27:17] <Runaway1956> We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.
[08:29:36] <aristarchus> America has lost every "war" it has been in after WWII, and indeed, there has been no legal state of war, after WWII. Sorry to say, any operations you were involved in, that seemed like "war", were actual illegal military actions. Sorry.
[08:29:45] <Runaway1956> We took our chanst among the Khyber 'ills,
[08:29:45] <Runaway1956> The Boers knocked us silly at a mile,
[08:29:45] <Runaway1956> The Burman give us Irriwaddy chills,
[08:29:45] <Runaway1956> An' a Zulu ~impi~ dished us up in style:
[08:29:45] <Runaway1956> But all we ever got from such as they
[08:29:46] <Runaway1956> Was pop to what the Fuzzy made us swaller;
[08:29:47] <Runaway1956> We 'eld our bloomin' own, the papers say,
[08:29:49] <Runaway1956> But man for man the Fuzzy knocked us 'oller.
[08:29:51] <Runaway1956> Then 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' the missis and the kid;
[08:29:53] <Runaway1956> Our orders was to break you, an' of course we went an' did.
[08:29:57] <Runaway1956> We sloshed you with Martinis, an' it wasn't 'ardly fair;
[08:29:59] <Runaway1956> But for all the odds agin' you, Fuzzy-Wuz, you broke the square.
[08:30:02] <chromas> buurrrrrrrr
[08:30:03] <chromas> pp
[08:30:23] <aristarchus> So, a Polack (mostly) that identifies as a Brit? Curious.
[08:30:32] <Runaway1956> 'E 'asn't got no papers of 'is own,
[08:30:32] <Runaway1956> 'E 'asn't got no medals nor rewards,
[08:30:32] <Runaway1956> So we must certify the skill 'e's shown
[08:30:32] <Runaway1956> In usin' of 'is long two-'anded swords:
[08:30:32] <Runaway1956> When 'e's 'oppin' in an' out among the bush
[08:30:33] <Runaway1956> With 'is coffin-'eaded shield an' shovel-spear,
[08:30:35] <Runaway1956> An 'appy day with Fuzzy on the rush
[08:30:37] <Runaway1956> Will last an 'ealthy Tommy for a year.
[08:30:39] <Runaway1956> So 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' your friends which are no more,
[08:30:41] <Runaway1956> If we 'adn't lost some messmates we would 'elp you to deplore;
[08:30:43] <Runaway1956> But give an' take's the gospel, an' we'll call the bargain fair,
[08:30:45] <Runaway1956> For if you 'ave lost more than us, you crumpled up the square!
[08:31:00] <chromas> is this the crapflooding channel?
[08:31:21] <aristarchus> Wait for the women to come for you, on the plains of Helmand.
[08:31:24] <Runaway1956> Yes, chromas - ari has been crap flooding us for awhile
[08:31:49] <aristarchus> Not me, Runaway. Found militaristic poetry, it seems.
[08:32:14] <Runaway1956> I've often quoted or at least mentioned Kipling - you should check your database
[08:33:00] <aristarchus> Yes, I knew who you were quoteing. But as usual, no citation given? You need to learn the ropes, Runaway the ignorant!
[08:33:06] * Runaway1956 observes that ari has never met Fuzzy Wuzzy, any more than he has met a Maori, or any other Pacific Islander
[08:33:40] <Runaway1956> Learn the ropes? Are you threatening me? Democrats are into lynchings!
[08:33:41] <aristarchus> Speculation on your part is not helpful.
[08:34:32] <aristarchus> Yes, Runaway, we are all heading over to your place your a formal "necktie" party, like in the old days, but with the colors reversed.
[08:34:59] <Runaway1956> Yellow on not-quite-white, huh?
[08:36:08] <chromas> I'll bring a power tie. A white one
[08:36:46] <aristarchus> Trump prefers red. Not sure why.
[08:37:07] <Runaway1956> I think it's because red bothers you for some reason?
[08:37:22] <Runaway1956> It reminds you that the Soviet fell.
[08:40:45] <Runaway1956> Anyway, faux-Greek, I'd like to introduce you to some Persians. All they ask is a bit of soil and a few drops of water.
[08:41:26] <chromas> I'm glad someone was finally able to inject Trump into the conversation. I was getting worried he wouldn't be mentioned this hour
[08:42:16] <aristarchus> Why are they advertising your job, Runaway? Is there something that you should know?
[08:42:38] <Runaway1956> I need help. It sucks to have to make my own coffee every night.
[08:43:03] <chromas> Make some coffee cheesecake brownies
[08:43:11] <Runaway1956> You are one sick puppy, checking the help wanted ads for a job that you can't qualify for.
[08:43:29] <Runaway1956> In a city you've never been to, never will visit.
[08:43:32] <aristarchus> $19.43 an hour? Big money, for the sticks of Arkansas!
[08:44:14] <Runaway1956> Of course. We can buy computers, cars, homes, anything we want, because we are valued.
[08:44:48] <Runaway1956> Unlike yourself, who can't find a $15/hr job on the east coast of Yankeeland.
[08:44:48] <aristarchus> Stolen MacBooks, and obsolete Opterons? One has to wonder.
[08:45:13] <Runaway1956> Speaking of obsolete - how are you feeling tonight, ari?
[08:48:35] <aristarchus> Hope you got full medical, given your recent history, Runaway.
[08:54:08] <chromas> Hold on my car runs on cringe and this will keep it running for years.
[08:55:56] <janrinok> Runaway1956, aristarchus - which bit of 'keep it civil' do you not understand? Take your fight to the playground where you both belong. Idiots.
[08:56:38] <aristarchus> I have been being most civil, my dear janrinok! Just check the thread!
[08:57:12] <janrinok> and this is off-topic - take it to #politics because we don't have a #creche
[08:57:47] <aristarchus> Oh, there was a topic? I thought this was the "landing point".
[08:58:06] <janrinok> so land - then move on. You are incredibly dim#
[08:59:19] <aristarchus> I have watched several very erudite soylentils try to explain things to you, janrinok, and fail terribly. I tend to think the fault was not theirs.
[09:06:46] <aristarchus> Oh, crap, Runaway had to actually do some work? FatPhil not up yet? Janrinok exhausted? Such is SoylentNews, these days.
[09:08:46] <FatPhil> do I need to read the miles of diarrhoea, or is it all safely ignorable?
[09:10:34] <janrinok> usual crap from the children
[09:10:40] <aristarchus> Do try to keep up, old boy!
[09:12:22] <FatPhil> I'd rather not, life's to short for examining other people's nappies.
[09:14:03] <aristarchus> They're called "Depends" in America, for gents of Runaway's vintage.
[09:15:42] * Runaway1956 yawns

[09:17:03] * Runaway1956 observes that EVERYONE is an idiot, except ari
[09:18:43] <aristarchus> Wonders what criteria or faculty Runaway is employing?
[09:23:38] <FatPhil> criterion
[09:25:33] <aristarchus> No, plural, "criteria". Of course, the bare idea that Runaway could have multiple faculties if preposterous on it's face.

[17:15:50] <FatPhil> what's the simplest way of running an ubuntu VM on my ancient devuan?
[17:17:27] <FatPhil> I need ubuntu to do official crypto shit (signing company accounts, etc.) and they only support ubuntu.

[20:15:55] <Bytram> FatPhil: dunno about running an Ubuntu *VM* ... *but* my main machine is a laptop running Ubuntu MATE 1.24.0 on an OLD (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 540 ) which has only 4 GiB of memory (and a 1 TB SSD)! Had it for a few years, now. Maybe you can pick a cheap, used box and install on that? Got mine for $25 at a thrift store.
[20:17:45] <FatPhil> Don't want scrubuntu as a main OS, wanna pop in, do the stuff, make it disappear
[20:18:04] <FatPhil> don't even need object permanene.
[20:18:26] <FatPhil> modulo typos
[20:27:35] <chromas> Maybe you can run it in a chroot
[20:33:59] <chromas> I have a Linux installation in a directory. I 'boot' it with systemd-nspawn, and it's got tigervnc in it so I can get a graphical desktop on it
[20:38:47] <FatPhil> my devuan doesn't have any systemd-anything
[20:39:55] <Bytram> FatPhil: What I was suggesting is that you might get a cheap box, install the OS, and just run it when you need to. FWIW, mine is a Dell Latitude E6410
[20:39:58] <chromas> if you don't want to screw around with x forwarding through a chroot you could probably just install virtualbox
[20:45:25] <requerdanos> "just install virtualbox" probably also fulfills "simplest solution"
[20:45:33] <requerdanos> virtualbox has debs on their website
[20:46:14] <FatPhil> oooh, yeah, we have a shitty retired lappy carcass tat we could put ubu onto
[20:46:33] <FatPhil> Bytram++
[20:46:33] <Bender> karma - bytram: 176
[20:47:00] <Bytram> =)
[20:47:49] <Bytram> HTH!
[20:47:51] <FatPhil> chromas++ 'virtualbox' - I think that's what I used in the past, and it worked quite well sticking a windoze inside a liinux
[20:47:51] <Bender> karma - chromas: 405
[20:48:13] <Bytram> break time
[20:48:23] <FatPhil> I think we'll try the resurrection of dead lappy first
[20:49:13] <FatPhil> It used to freeze a couple of times a week. but if we only need it for 10 minutes, pffft, that's fine.
[20:49:27] <FatPhil> so obvious, and we overlooked it.
[20:49:34] <FatPhil> thanky thanky thanky
[20:50:07] <FatPhil> It's pretty lucky we didn't actually trash it. It's just sitting in a corner currently.
[21:01:10] <halibut> Another option, for either computer: Copy the liveCD onto a USB, and boot either computer off of that. You should be able to install a few things on the USB drive while it is running, and then wipe the USB drive (or not) once you are done.
[21:02:22] <halibut> qemu is relatively lightweight for running VMs. If you have 2GiB of RAM, you can probably install an image and and run a VM using 1GiB of RAM; I think (am not positive) that Ubuntu will run in that. The USB boot and/or other computer is probably a better option, though.
[21:05:59] <FatPhil> If I'm using a non-burner lappy, then I'm not going to want to "boot into" anything. Once the machine's on, it's on.
[21:06:37] <halibut> I am of a similar mind about my computers.
[21:07:04] <halibut> Anyways, just my 2¢.
[21:08:47] <Bytram> halibut: With 4 GiB of RAM I struggle for space, but that's running: Thunderbird, Firefox (32 tabs in 4 windows), HexChat (18 tabs), and about 10 terminates, too.
[21:09:36] <FatPhil> the nice thing is that it's literally for firefox, logging on, doing shit, ^C
[21:09:51] <halibut> Firefox with a lot of tabs, particularly if JS is enabled, tends to eat a lot of RAM.
[21:10:22] <Bytram> right now I have 3.2 GiB of RAM in use (out of 4 GiB)
[21:10:28] <FatPhil> old lappy is probbably only 1/2G or 1G
[21:10:52] <Bytram> *in use
[21:11:06] <FatPhil> 256KB should be enough for anyone (yes, I remember the urban legend from before the time it was 640KB)
[21:13:42] <Bytram> I remember when 1 MB of RAM could be *made* to work with custom autoexec.bat and confic.sys
[21:14:23] <halibut> It probably seemed extra special, since it took work to get it, right?
[21:14:35] <Bytram> my first computer had 2 KB of RAM
[21:15:39] <Bytram> that, and having to boot from floppies!
[21:59:36] <Runaway1956> FatPhil - I'll vouch for VirtualBox
[22:00:19] <Runaway1956> VMWare is arguably better, but it's more resource hungry, IMO
[22:01:46] <Runaway1956> Finally got the Mac to try booting from a Windows installation, migrated to an external drive
[22:02:11] <Runaway1956> boot failed, but now I have a drive which I can "upgrade" windows on -
[22:02:26] <Runaway1956> I may have it working by evening
[22:03:58] <Runaway1956> @ Bytram - I don't remember just how much memory that first TRS-80 had, but I know it wasn't much
[22:04:46] <Runaway1956> I think first 386 had like 96 meg? Not sure that even sounds right, but 96 comes to mind
[22:06:02] <Bytram> =w TRS-80
[22:06:03] <systemd> The TRS-80 Micro Computer System (TRS-80, later renamed the Model I to distinguish it from successors) is a desktop microcomputer launched in 1977 and - https://en.wikipedia.org
[22:06:23] <chromas> should've been about 8 or 16K
[22:06:46] <FatPhil> I started in a ZX81 with 1K, then 16K
[22:06:48] <chromas> ah, 4
[22:07:03] <chromas> 4K UltraHD!!!12
[22:07:06] <Bytram> >>> The TRS-80 has a full-stroke QWERTY keyboard, the Zilog Z80 processor, 4 KB DRAM standard memory, small size and desk footprint, floating-point Level I BASIC language interpreter in ROM, 64-character per line video monitor, and a starting price of US$600[1] (equivalent to US$2,600 in 2020). A cassette tape drive for program storage was included in the original package.
[22:07:18] <FatPhil> we had a TRS-80 at school
[22:07:33] <Runaway1956> 48 kb sounds about right
[22:08:06] <FatPhil> When we had a photographer come round and take photos for the prospectus, I was the person in front of the TRS-80, with completely random text on screen!
[22:08:54] <FatPhil> nice keyboard, compared to all the others we had access to.
[22:08:58] <Runaway1956> And, the cassette tape drive was somehow unique - it read data from the TRS branded drive faster, and more reliably than any other drive I experimented with
[22:09:01] <FatPhil> nicely clicky
[22:09:59] <Runaway1956> Did your TRS-80 have floppy drives fatphil ???
[22:10:09] <Runaway1956> That was probably a model 1000
[22:10:14] <FatPhil> Oooh, not sure, possibly not
[22:10:20] <FatPhil> the BBC had a floppy
[22:10:41] <chromas> it was too big to hold all the blood
[22:10:43] <Runaway1956> The model 1000 is the first computer my kids ever got to mess with
[22:10:46] <Bytram> might it have been a Cherry keyboard? That's what my OSI C-4P had
[22:12:18] <Runaway1956> Almost forgot about that second TRS 1000 - picked it up for $20 when everyone started upgrading to 286, and then 386
[22:12:28] <Runaway1956> tons of floppies with it too
[22:13:36] <Deucalion> When I were a lad we used to toggle the bootstrap into the computer with the switches on the front, then load the punch cards into the sorter (cue joke about dropping them on the floor and having no index) (cue joke about mischievously punching an additional hole in a few cards of the hated colleague).... something something
[22:13:56] <FatPhil> that machine was 100% TRS-branded, not a separate kbd
[22:14:52] <FatPhil> the particular model was a just an amber (or green, I'm colourblind) text mode thing, if that helps narrow it down.
[22:15:10] <Runaway1956> Only punch cards I ever handled were given to us children when we visited the Carnegie Melon institute in Pittsburgh
[22:15:17] <Runaway1956> Never touched one again
[22:15:23] <FatPhil> where you could see the gaps between the scanlines
[22:15:31] <Deucalion> Affectionately known as trash80
[22:16:18] <FatPhil> in the UK, yup, was "trash 80"
[22:16:50] <Runaway1956> It's all I knew to call it - why spell out T R S when everyone referred to is as trash anyway?
[22:17:07] <FatPhil> tea-are-ess-80
[22:17:10] * Deucalion celebrates having a memory
[22:17:27] <FatPhil> 256KB should be enough for anyone
[22:17:44] <FatPhil> which is where ... we came in
[22:22:17] <Deucalion> We did? When?
[22:24:26] <Bytram> Deucalion: kinda same, 'cept toggled in a program, so it could read in a RIM format paper tape, which we used to read in an ASCII paper tape, which we used to read in a DEC TAPE, which (finally) let us read the OS from the RK-11(???) disk drive. That was a PDP-11 with ~24 K CORE memory.
[22:24:50] <Deucalion> I am trying to RMA my memory, it seems to be failing
[22:26:18] <Bytram> Oh, wait,. that was a PDP-8, the PDP-11 came a few years later!
[22:26:32] <Deucalion> Before my time
[22:26:42] <Bytram> =w PDP/8
[22:26:42] <systemd> The PDP-8 is a 12-bit minicomputer that was produced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). It was the first commercially successful minicomputer, with - https://en.wikipedia.org

[22:27:14] <systemd> The PDP-11 is a series of 16-bit minicomputers sold by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from 1970 into the 1990s, one of a set of products in the Programmed - https://en.wikipedia.org
[22:28:03] <Deucalion> I know what they are and saw them in action as they tailed out... never had to admin one though... being a young sprig as I am :D
[22:31:24] <Deucalion> Every tech generation likes to feel (even adamantly believes) that the tech they deal (or dealt with back in th day)
[22:31:28] <Deucalion> umm
[22:33:17] <Deucalion> Every tech generation likes to feel (even adamantly believes) that the tech they deal with (or dealt with back in the day) is superlative to anything that had come before or after. Those before - cast them as luddites. Those who dare to progress - burn them as witches - it was perfect the way it was.
[22:33:55] <chromas> The technology is better now; it's the people that are dumberer
[22:34:55] <Deucalion> The reality is very dull... technology inexorably grinds on and it is all just rose tinted spectacles.
[22:36:32] <FatPhil> rose tainted testicles
[22:37:12] <Bytram> !grab FatPhil
[22:37:13] <Bender> Added quote 1058
[22:37:17] <Bytram> ewww!
[22:38:21] <FatPhil> we really need to start doing something with all those quotes
[22:38:47] <Deucalion> YES!!!! Let's monetise them!
[22:38:53] <chromas> put them into the motd on the sn servers
[22:39:34] <Deucalion> Ummmm.... poiny of order
[22:39:42] <Deucalion> pony of order
[22:41:17] <FatPhil> message of the day = do safe gay themes
[22:42:25] <Deucalion> Here we are in #soylent having a staff discussion.... I look over to the user list pane... I see staff, bots and an occasional community member.
[22:42:58] <Deucalion> I think there are more bots than people
[22:43:05] <chromas> where's the staff discussion?
[22:43:26] * Teckla recalls his TRS-80 Color Computer with 32k RAM and Extended Color BASIC
[22:43:47] <Teckla> Other than the 6809 CPU, it was kind of a piece of crap :)
[22:44:25] <Bytram> Teckla: matches what I'd heard, sadly,
[22:45:57] Deucalion is now known as juggs
[22:46:01] <Teckla> I liked the Commodore 64 I got years later much better in every respect, except the 6510 CPU felt bass-ackwards after using a 6809 :)
[22:46:30] <Teckla> "No 16-bit index registers?! What kind of primitive POS is this?!"
[22:46:57] * juggs jiggles and rotates in an unnecessary way.
[22:47:09] juggs is now known as Deucalion
[22:51:04] <Bytram> that's what made the VAX so awesome (IIRC) its addressing mode were *complete* and orthogonal. Granted we're talking 40 years old memories, as this point!
[22:51:19] <Bytram> =w VAX computer
[22:51:20] <systemd> mid-1970s. The VAX-11/780, introduced October 25, 1977, was the first of a range of popular and influential computers implementing the VAX ISA. The VAX family - https://en.wikipedia.org

[23:31:07] <FatPhil> I've been to Chevy Chase!
[23:32:26] <FatPhil> There was a small supermarket there, we did some grocery shopping there in order to ensure our entire diet wasn't maccy-d's and dunkin' donuts.
[23:34:05] <Bytram> not exactly Chevy Chase, but have been to Annapolis, Gaithersburg, DC, and Bethesda
[23:36:52] <FatPhil> woh - looks like chevy chase is a district. I saw a street in DC that was named "Chevy Chase". I never went to Maryland apart from a visit to Arlington.
[23:37:10] <FatPhil> maybe those crazy DC-ers were taking the piss
