[00:12:54] <AzumaHazuki> you know, couching renewables and energy independence as a matter of national security might have been a good idea
[00:15:58] <tedious> Usually nuclear power is considered national security but that didn't keep germany from getting rid of them and relying even more on russian energy correct?
[00:16:23] <AzumaHazuki> yes, and i was wtf'ing from day 1 about that
[00:17:25] <tedious> It's like nobody in the green party understands that nuclear power is only dirty in a very small place and if you're careful you can keep all the polution stuffed into barrels underground.
[00:17:52] <tedious> s/polution/pollution/
[00:17:52] <SedBot> <tedious> It's like nobody in the green party understands that nuclear power is only dirty in a very small place and if you're careful you can keep all the pollution stuffed into barrels underground.
[00:33:07] <FatPhil> Learn some grammar. Grammatically, "yet" can only pair with "freezing".
[00:34:21] <FatPhil> And therefore "it turned off the russian gas supply" can only be taken as a presumption of fact in order for the question to make any sense at all.
[00:35:12] <halibut> Perhaps true, but ``if you're careful'' could entail quite a bit. I particularly like this story about the difficulty of one tiny aspect of ``if you're careful'': https://www.bbc.com (note: WIPP is storing materials that are probably worse than the byproducts of your typical energy-production fission reactor)
[00:35:15] <systemd> ^ 03How to build a nuclear warning for 10,000 years’ time
[00:35:47] <halibut> ^^^ Whoops. I was responding to the ``nobody in the green party understands...'' comment.
[00:36:02] <FatPhil> If you want to ask whether europe has turned off the russian gas supply, ask if europe has turned off the russian gas supply. Don't try to wrap it in some snarky rhetoric that you can't even render in English corrently.
[00:36:42] <FatPhil> However, the fact that you're asking the question implies you know the answer, in which case, you're just being snarky.
[00:38:28] <chromas> "Is (europe freezing to death because it turned off the russian gas supply) yet?" there you go
[00:38:55] <chromas> Parentheses save the day yet again.
[00:43:12] * chromas always has the most correntest grammers
[01:22:06] <tedious> FatPhil: I didn't realize you were supportive of the corrupt european politicians who got us into this mess.
[01:27:06] <Runaway1956> Careful tedious - Russia evil, Europe vestal virgin, you may not question the narrative, or you may be like me!
[01:41:59] <tedious> You and I can both fit comfortably on the group h bench. :)
[02:02:41] <Runaway1956> Group H went right past me - have no idea what you're talking about.
[02:02:51] <Runaway1956> But, I'm not much of a bench warmer anyway.
[02:04:21] <Runaway1956> Hostiles 13 mile west of Kiev, and 28 miles east. They'll soon be feeling the squeeze, I think.
[02:08:30] <Bytram> Runaway1956: Maybe it was a typo and tedious miss-typed: "Preparation H"? ;)
[02:09:07] <Runaway1956> lol

[07:45:45] <FatPhil> chromas: that would be "from turning off" rather than "because it turned off". Different aspects for the verbs.
[07:47:51] <chromas> lol
[07:57:35] <FatPhil> If you don't understand aspects, pretend I said tenses.

[13:39:16] <janrinok> quiet today
[13:40:23] <Runaway1956> whowas Mos_Bestine
[13:42:35] <janrinok> You will work it out
[13:43:09] <Runaway1956> I figure I know who it was, but the whowas reply doesn't support it
[13:43:26] <janrinok> who was Mos_Eisley yesterday?
[13:44:03] <Runaway1956> another soylentcoward, without a long list of alternative logins
[13:44:21] <Runaway1956> I figure it was the same person I figure this time though
[13:44:51] <Runaway1956> doing whowas that individual gives you a 99 page printout, lol
[13:45:43] <FatPhil> Don't forget Mos_vespa the day before.
[13:45:51] <Runaway1956> my brain is starting to function, but it's not really there yet . . .
[13:46:16] <janrinok> I don't appear to have a 'whowas' command...
[13:46:43] <Runaway1956> I think you do - /whowas works from the server I think
[13:47:07] <Runaway1956> I could be wrong . . .
[13:47:36] <FatPhil> some clients, if you do a whois on an absent person will translate that into a whowas to the server, I think
[13:48:41] <Runaway1956> I tried it, doesn't work that way for me
[13:48:43] <janrinok> It doesn't tell me anything other than a SoylentCoward. But I have other means and methods
[13:49:12] <Runaway1956> lol - don't say that in public or you'll be accused of nefarious deeds
[13:49:37] <FatPhil> /mode +nefarious #soylent janrinok
[13:49:46] <Runaway1956> Of course, I would never accuse you of NOT being nefarious
[13:50:06] <janrinok> I don't need anything like that - but some people are creatures of habit and become very predictable
[14:01:51] <FatPhil> Creatures of habit say ~ "Obey fate, Aristarchus" (anagram)

[15:24:46] <FatPhil> inz: how "upcoming"? it looks like I'm half way through the block, and with no means to resume a partial block. Fortunately blocks are only a day and a bit long.
[15:27:01] <inz> FatPhil, I guess I can trust my users for a day or so (the vuln was already disclosed a couple of days ago)
[15:28:42] <FatPhil> downgrade to 5.8, to avoid the problem!
[15:33:01] <inz> I'll try livepatching, never done that before :)
[15:51:23] <inz> whee, finally patched my dismiss-the-overlay to do: html { position: static !important; }
[16:16:28] <inz> Hmm, seems it cannot be live patched :(
