52:00 <Bonny> hot here
52:00 <Devil45> but im not dead (yet)
52:00 <Bonny> so you don't stink then lol
52:00 <Devil45> nope
52:00 <Bonny> :)
52:00 <Devil45> got so many people on youtube claiming covid is over ... ah no it isnt
53:00 <Bonny> dumbarses
53:00 <Devil45> yea
53:00 <Devil45> we copped a lockdown last month because of a teenager lying
53:00 <Bonny> yup
53:00 <Bonny> out of lockdown now?
53:00 <Devil45> it was only 3 days
53:00 <Bonny> cool
53:00 <Devil45> apparently someone convinced the teen to fess up
53:00 <Bonny> we were in lockdown for 4 months
53:00 <Devil45> but our premier was pissed
54:00 <Devil45> he personally wants to kick the guys ass
54:00 <Bonny> fair enuff
54:00 <Devil45> but commissioner stevens says no - let the law deal with it
54:00 <Devil45> worry about staying safe
54:00 <Bonny> the law is weak
54:00 <Bonny> he deserves a kick up the backside
54:00 <Devil45> its got more holes in it than a golf course
54:00 <Bonny> true
55:00 <Devil45> i understand mr marshall being agro about it
55:00 <Bonny> so do I
55:00 <Devil45> im with him on that
55:00 <Bonny> same
55:00 <Devil45> state premiers do a lot of work behind the scenes.
55:00 <Bonny> yup
55:00 <Devil45> nicola spurrier (health minister) is working with him
56:00 <Devil45> so at this moment pizza shops are a dirty word
56:00 <Bonny> yup
56:00 <Devil45> lockdown was so hard last month.. sa was a ghost town
56:00 <Devil45> only 3 days but still - rundle mall was totally desolate
57:00 <Bonny> like vic when we had the curfew
57:00 <Devil45> i used to hate vic
57:00 <Bonny> why?
57:00 <Devil45> idiots in the melb room (and the old telstra servers a few years ago)
57:00 <Devil45> but
57:00 <Devil45>  the covid thing - changed that :)
58:00 <Devil45> and most ebay sellers i buy from are in vic
58:00 <Bonny> ahh don't let a couple of idiot misjudge you
58:00 <Devil45> i cant be hatin'
58:00 <Bonny> true
58:00 <Devil45> and as im often reminded
58:00 <Devil45> life is too short to sweat the small stuff
58:00 <Bonny> that's right
58:00 <Devil45> another well known person passed over the weekend
58:00 <Devil45> charley pride
59:00 <Bonny> yeah I looked him up
59:00 <Devil45> so did i
59:00 <Bonny> first black country singer
59:00 <Devil45> i was told about this in the horse room
59:00 <Devil45> yep he was black - and ive never heard any of his songs
00:00 <Devil45> i was also informed in the same room about babs windsor
00:00 <Devil45> but i knew of her
00:00 <Devil45> i have a horse in the horse room - its got your nick as part of its name
02:00 <Bonny> lol
02:00 <Devil45> "bonny lass" but the horse is male.
02:00 <Devil45> so it should be "bonny lad"
02:00 <Bonny> yup
02:00 <Devil45> damian set them up.
02:00 <Bonny> cool
02:00 <Devil45> hes good like that.
02:00 <Devil45> but hes super busy
02:00 <Bonny> yeah damian is good
02:00 <Devil45> like "da boss"
02:00 <Devil45> aka grem
03:00 <Devil45> ive never needed to see grem about anything - except once re the horse bot
03:00 <Devil45> not bad for 6 years
03:00 <Bonny> yeah gremz has everything under control
03:00 <Devil45> thats how long ive officially been here
03:00 <Bonny> if it wasn't for gremz there'd be no austnet
03:00 <Devil45> since nov 2014
03:00 <Devil45> grem IS austnet
03:00 <Bonny> I've been here since 1997
03:00 <Devil45> i didnt have net then
04:00 <Devil45> didnt get net till 2003
04:00 <Devil45> and been on irc since.
04:00 <Bonny> I had net since 1992
04:00 <Devil45> i dont think sa had any in 92
04:00 <Bonny> ok
04:00 <Devil45> i could be wrong
05:00 <Bonny> you probably didn't hear about it in 92
05:00 <Devil45> its like the old saying about marriage "in a marriage one person is always right - the other is the husband"
05:00 <Bonny> lol
05:00 <Devil45> i heard about a bit of it in 1996
05:00 <Bonny> ok
06:00 <Devil45> when tv ads started using www. things
06:00 <Devil45> then it was all phones.
06:00 <Bonny> these days they don't really use the www anymore
06:00 <Devil45> the www is redundant - still exists in some urls but https: takes care of most
06:00 <Bonny> yup
06:00 <Devil45> so when you enter a url you dont need to put www
06:00 <Bonny> nup
07:00 <Devil45> eg banksa
07:00 <Bonny> yup
07:00 <Devil45> just the name - the domain and location (au)
07:00 <Devil45> my bank site doesnt display correctly in chrome on win 7
07:00 <Devil45> but works fine on win 8.1
07:00 <Bonny> why's that?
07:00 <Bonny> ok
07:00 <Devil45> not sure since chrome updates on both
07:00 <Bonny> yeah
08:00 <Devil45> i think maybe it "senses" the os
08:00 <Bonny> could do
08:00 <Devil45> google is spying
08:00 <Bonny> lol
08:00 <Devil45> if you try to access your history on youtube
08:00 <Devil45> you cannot see comment history unless it opens a new tab
08:00 <Bonny> ok
09:00 <Devil45> and someone else reckons youtube censors covid in comments
09:00 <Devil45> so if its a bad driving video - just call it car-vid 19
09:00 <Bonny> I don't use youtube often
09:00 <Devil45> and bypass the system
09:00 <Devil45> and you get spammers as well
09:00 <Bonny> ok
09:00 <Devil45> speaking of
09:00 <Devil45> bots seem under control
09:00 <Bonny> yup
09:00 <Bonny> I've been on a rampage
10:00 <Bonny> zlining them 
10:00 <Bonny> lol
10:00 <Devil45> they sneak in
10:00 <Bonny> but I find them
10:00 <Devil45> if i were to get a mrc file (a small bot/socket) id ASK if it was ok to bring it
10:00 <Bonny> they must have ran out of ip's to use
11:00 <Devil45> id go in asd and ask once
11:00 <Devil45> but i dont have one - dont need it
12:00 <Bonny> they're more trouble than they're worth
12:00 <Devil45> needing a bot is like a man needing a third leg when the two he already has are fine.
12:00 <Bonny> exactly
12:00 <Bonny> don't need lx either
12:00 <Devil45> thats why its not in here
12:00 <Bonny> I don't have lx in my channel and it's running fine
13:00 <Devil45> i said it was ok to park lx in the chan i set up 2 years ago
13:00 <Devil45> to keep chanop company
13:00 <Devil45> its no biggie
13:00 <Bonny> nup
13:00 <Devil45> even if he asked and you said no or yes - its not important
14:00 <Bonny> I keep on top of everything
14:00 <Bonny> the old fashion way
14:00 <Devil45> the best way
14:00 <Bonny> yah
14:00 <Devil45> its like frank sang "i did it my way"
14:00 <Bonny> lol
14:00 <Devil45> cruise 1323 plays that a lot
15:00 <Bonny> cool
15:00 <Devil45> they also play lot of abba
15:00 <Devil45> and the easybeats
15:00 <Devil45> triple m plays powderfinger and ac/dc
16:00 <Devil45> so if you tune into a radio station on fm and hear "shot in the dark" be assured its ac/dc
16:00 <Bonny> just got a bot
16:00 <Devil45> from their new album
16:00 <Devil45> mmm
16:00 <Bonny> trying to hide by not joining the channels I'm in
16:00 <Devil45> i was mentioning this to someone the other day
17:00 <Devil45> no he simply said you catch them
17:00 <Bonny> oh ok
17:00 <Bonny> yeah I do
17:00 <Devil45> because i noticed several bots with copied nicks
17:00 <Devil45> or mirc idents
17:00 <Bonny> not nicks.. identds
17:00 <Devil45> yea
17:00 <Devil45> mirc id
18:00 <Bonny> yup
18:00 <Devil45> i wonder if any came in with my mirc id
18:00 <Bonny> I haven't seen one with your identd
18:00 <Devil45> the trick is to /whois
18:00 <Devil45> should show "identified to services" and a real name
18:00 <Bonny> I don't whois to see their idends
18:00 <Devil45> the real name i should edit
18:00 <Bonny> I get their full ip when they connect
19:00 <Devil45> ah yes opers see ips
19:00 <Bonny> yup
19:00 <Devil45> id forgotten that
19:00 <Bonny> :)
19:00 <Devil45> and yet a decade ago i was one on another network
19:00 <Devil45> memory loss
19:00 <Bonny> ok
21:00 <Devil45> i was able to edit the full name 
21:00 <Devil45> which greys out if connected (but i had a status not connected and edited there)
21:00 <Devil45> so now you will no longer see "welcome to my world.."
21:00 <Bonny> just zlined 3 of them
22:00 <Devil45> instead " Devils�Like�To�Sleep�In�Satan�Sheets "
22:00 <Devil45> which matches the vhost
22:00 <Devil45> this should take effect here next connect time
22:00 <Bonny> cool
22:00 <Devil45> wife got mad at me for not changing the original name
22:00 <Devil45> i told her its based on a nightmare on elm street film
23:00 <Devil45> but a change is as good as a holiday
23:00 <Bonny> brb coffee time
24:00 <Devil45> banning bots is thirsty work
29:00 <Bonny> that's better
38:00 <Devil45> nothing like a nescafe blend 43
38:00 <Bonny> I drink maconna
38:00 <Bonny> moccona
39:00 <Devil45> thats expensive coffee
39:00 <Bonny> we get it cheap
39:00 <Devil45> mmm
39:00 <Bonny> lol
39:00 <Devil45> a tin of nescafe blend 43 is 20 bucks in woolies
39:00 <Bonny> cheapskates
39:00 <Devil45> but thats a 500g tin
40:00 <Devil45> big - lasts 3 weeks.
40:00 <Bonny> we get 400 gm jar for 12
40:00 <Devil45> so not exactly cheap
40:00 <Devil45> 20 bucks for nescafe is not cheap - 10 bucks is
40:00 <Devil45> and 85 bucks for a pack of 50 cigs
40:00 <Devil45> isnt cheap either
41:00 <Bonny> I don't smoke.. so don't care lol
41:00 <Devil45> after 35 years are you kidding
41:00 <Bonny> I quit 7 years ago
41:00 <Devil45> i already cut down
41:00 <Devil45> the wife doesnt want to lick an ashtray... which is what she reckons kissing a smoker is like
41:00 <Bonny> it stinks
41:00 <Devil45> but im not a heavy smoker
42:00 <Bonny> still stinks
42:00 <Devil45> anyone who smokes rollies - those stink
42:00 <Bonny> when you're a smoker you don't smell it
42:00 <Bonny> but when you quit the smell is overpowering
42:00 <Devil45> my old man was a big time smoker - used to smoke in the car - at home and at work
42:00 <Bonny> same as my dad
42:00 <Devil45> these days if you got kids under 18 in the car - its illegal to smoke
42:00 <Bonny> good
42:00 <Devil45> but this was the 70s
42:00 <Devil45> different era
43:00 <Bonny> same
43:00 <Bonny> I use to buy the 50 pack horizons
43:00 <Devil45> i could go through a carton of escort red or pj dark blue in a week years ago
43:00 <Devil45> thats EIGHT packs a week
43:00 <Devil45> at 25 smokes per pack
43:00 <Devil45> so a pack a day 
44:00 <Bonny> I started smoking when I was 14
44:00 <Devil45> now i smoke maybe one or two cigs per day tops. thats real cutting down.
44:00 <Bonny> and never quit till 7 years ago in 2013
44:00 <Devil45> compared to my teen years
44:00 <Bonny> it's still bad for you
44:00 <Devil45> i know
44:00 <Bonny> no matter how many you smoke
45:00 <Devil45> interestingly im the only one in the household who smokes even just 1 ciggie a day.
46:00 <Devil45> the wife gave them up about a month or so after she met me - she claimed it was getting too expensive.
47:00 <Devil45> its a teenage trend
48:00 <Bonny> but you're no longer a teenager
48:00 <Bonny> time to quit.. :P
48:00 <Devil45> story of my life
48:00 <Bonny> you'll be able to breathe better
48:00 <Bonny> and smell and taste things better
49:00 <Devil45> i blame my old man and peer pressure for starting it
49:00 <Devil45> because back in the 80s everyone in high school who was cool smoked - in the toilets at lunchtime
50:00 <Devil45> and at that time the minimum legal age to buy them was 16
50:00 <Bonny> excuses excuses
50:00 <Devil45> now you gotta be 18. to drink vote smoke and drive.
50:00 <Devil45> i gave into temptation
51:00 <Bonny> yup and you can get yourself out of it
51:00 <Bonny> since you managed to cut down which is the hardest thing to do, you should be able to quit
51:00 <Devil45> that is true
51:00 <Devil45> if it was a pack aday
51:00 <Devil45> harder
52:00 <Bonny> yup
52:00 <Devil45> but its only 1 ray/cig per day. maybe 2 if im stressed.
52:00 <Devil45> never more than 4 a day
52:00 <Bonny> smoking causes stress
52:00 <Devil45> i wonder if it causes panic during sleep - to where you wake up gasping for air and cannot exhale
52:00 <Devil45> for like a minute
53:00 <Bonny> yup
54:00 <Devil45> its happened to me a couple of times - usually i recover and sleep ok after that. seen a doc. he says stress does that. best bet - avoid dairy products before bed. so dont drink egg nogs.
54:00 <Bonny> ok
54:00 <Devil45> never have milk before sleep
54:00 <Bonny> I have coffee b4 i go to bed
54:00 <Bonny> with milk
54:00 <Devil45> but its ok to drink a bit of oj
54:00 <Devil45> or water
54:00 <Bonny> doesn't affect me
55:00 <Devil45> thats because you dont drink egg nog oaks
55:00 <Bonny> during xmas I do
55:00 <Devil45> i buy a dozen of those.
55:00 <Bonny> they're yum
55:00 <Devil45> freeze em
55:00 <Devil45> have one after lunch
55:00 <Devil45> with a tim tam
55:00 <Bonny> tsk
55:00 <Bonny> what's your weight like?
55:00 <Devil45> i buy the large value pack tim tams
56:00 <Bonny> apnea can cause you to wake up during the night gasping for air
56:00 <Devil45> its average
56:00 <Bonny> apnea is caused by obesity
56:00 <Devil45> nah im not overweight
56:00 <Bonny> ok
56:00 <Devil45> not underweight either - sort of inbetween
56:00 <Devil45> only person in my family who ever got bigger was mum
56:00 <Bonny> so your problem could be the ciggies
57:00 <Devil45> but she quit the cigs before i was born - so she could save for a car
57:00 <Bonny> cool
57:00 <Devil45> and the whole time ive known her she never once lit up
57:00 <Bonny> that's well done
57:00 <Devil45> my old man however never stopped
57:00 <Bonny> I haven't touch a ciggie since may 2013
57:00 <Devil45> the house would smell like a pub.
57:00 <Bonny> it's yuck
57:00 <Devil45> the car - same
57:00 <Devil45> the kitchen table same
58:00 <Devil45> he smoked every 30 mins
58:00 <Devil45> he also drank
58:00 <Bonny> like my dad
58:00 <Devil45> what is it about dads and drinking?
58:00 <Bonny> my dad is 88 and has dementia.. he has quit the ciggies but if he sees alcohol he drinks it
59:00 <Devil45> you need to lock the liquor cabinet when hes around
59:00 <Bonny> so he is an alco but still remembers the booze even tho he has dementia
59:00 <Devil45> "no dads allowed beyond this point" on the door of the cabinet
00:00 <Devil45> thats another thing
00:00 <Devil45> withdrawals can cause mood swings
00:00 <Devil45> so quitting cold turkey may not work for every smoker
00:00 <Bonny> I didn't quit cold turkey
00:00 <Devil45> ive heard of vapes
00:00 <Bonny> and I didn't cut down either
00:00 <Devil45> e-cigs
00:00 <Bonny> they're crap.. they do nothing
00:00 <Devil45> yea
01:00 <Devil45> may as well smoke a plastic toy
01:00 <Bonny> yup
01:00 <Devil45> or as i was once told "a dildo"
01:00 <Devil45> thats what vapes and e-cigs are. useless
01:00 <Bonny> does that work?
01:00 <Devil45> hypnotist?
01:00 <Bonny> yeah
01:00 <Devil45> mmm hypnotherapy
01:00 <Devil45> convincing the subconscious that you dont need something
02:00 <Bonny> he made a killing
02:00 <Devil45> a tidy profit
03:00 <Devil45> if you paid that much. 45 bucks a head at 120 people = over 5k
03:00 <Devil45> 5400
03:00 <Devil45> compared to the cost of a packet
04:00 <Devil45> if it had been me there id have said i dont have a lighter - i borrowed someone elses. especially if it has a topless lady on it. no way would i hand that to a hypnotist.
05:00 <Devil45> but if its one on one - its a small price to pay for therapy
05:00 <Devil45> i wouldnt go to a meeting with 119 other people there
05:00 <Devil45> only time ive gone somewhere with a crowd was a rock concert
06:00 <Devil45> when guns n roses played adel oval some years ago.
07:00 <Devil45> patches work but only partly
07:00 <Devil45> nicorette doesnt work - a lot of women who have tried to quit claim it does nothing
07:00 <Devil45> so thats why you smile a lot now?
08:00 <Devil45> knowing you wont get sick or pay a fortune for packs
09:00 <Devil45> i wouldnt light up around a non-smoker or someone who quit
10:00 <Devil45> where i work is a non-smoking place - you gotta smoke - do it outside - and use the designated smokers please trays
10:00 <Devil45> no butts on the ground
11:00 <Devil45> got a milo tin outside for butts at home.
12:00 <Devil45> when i did work experience years ago - i used to sneak a smoke every hour
13:00 <Devil45> yea the spray painter complained to the boss
13:00 <Devil45> because of the flammable paint
13:00 <Devil45> was a crash repair business so cars got fixed. spray painting - being automotive is highly flammable
13:00 <Devil45> fire risk. he told the boss.
14:00 <Devil45> and i was told to go outside if i had to sneak smokes that badly - not around the painter
14:00 <Devil45> go outside and smoke or go home. your choice he said. i never smoked inside a place like that again after that :)
15:00 <Devil45> and people say im a slow learner - pfft.
24:00 <eddie> burrrrrr cold here today...
