04:35:00 <doggyrat> good morning Australia
04:35:00 <doggyrat> hello
07:36:00 <gee_man> ey doggyrat
07:37:00 <doggyrat> hello gee_man i am on discord , sorry Bonny but i prefer being here
07:39:00 <doggyrat> working on a tripod holder for a ball , my mister head shot , i will have 10 of them place every 25m or 50m to show the effect of using a different lens on the camera
07:39:00 <doggyrat> tomorrow i will start assembling the printer
07:40:00 <gee_man> ok
07:57:00 <doggyrat> why are you up that early
07:58:00 <doggyrat> i have been donating blood plasma and got 30euro paying off the 3D printer to my wife
07:59:00 <gee_man> i'm a morning person now
07:59:00 <gee_man> i get more shit done in the morning
08:07:00 <gee_man> i wouldn't call it donating plasma if you get paid for it, that's more selling than donating
08:28:00 <doggyrat> ok i just do it for the money yes i do sell plasma
08:29:00 <gee_man> it's not just for the money tho, you're helping people
08:30:00 <gee_man> i'd donate plasma about every 3-6 months or so if i wasn't on medication
08:31:00 <gee_man> never donated before tho, so it depends on how the first donation goes that determines subsequent donations
08:31:00 <doggyrat> i ask about my medication and they told me after 8 hours i took them it would be ok
08:31:00 <doggyrat> i am off for bed
08:31:00 <gee_man> ok seeya
10:26:00 <gee_man> i wonder how long liminal is going to last before they get z-lined
10:32:00 <gremlinz> IRCBet is now live
10:32:00 <gremlinz> Place your bets
10:32:00 <gee_man> lol
11:40:00 <Bonny> hi gee_man
11:41:00 <gee_man> ey Bonny
11:41:00 <Bonny> how are you?
11:41:00 <gee_man> doing well, aside from becoming a dreaded morning person
11:41:00 <Bonny> lol
11:41:00 <Bonny> yeah I'm not much of a morning person either
11:42:00 <gee_man> i usually express my thoughts and ideas best in the middle of the night
11:42:00 <gee_man> but that's changing
11:42:00 <Bonny> ok
11:42:00 <Bonny> why change it?
11:43:00 <gee_man> well, i used to be a morning person, getting up at 4:30am and exercising, and until i burnt out, it was really good for me
11:43:00 <Bonny> wow
11:43:00 <gee_man> but the reasoni burnt out had nothing to do with early wakeups
11:43:00 <Bonny> that's too early for me
11:43:00 <gee_man> it was early for me, too
11:44:00 <gee_man> i didn't actually start exercising until 6am
11:44:00 <Bonny> ahhh ok
11:44:00 <gee_man> took me 1.5hrs to wake up
11:44:00 <Bonny> wow
11:44:00 <gee_man> that was years ago tho
11:45:00 <gee_man> not sure i can do it again without copious amounts of caffeine
11:45:00 <Bonny> hehehe
11:45:00 <Bonny> yeah
11:45:00 <gee_man> when i first woke up in those days, i'd drink 2 cans of energy drinks
11:45:00 <Bonny> that's bad for you
11:45:00 <gee_man> yeah, nowadays i don't even have coffee or tea
11:45:00 <Bonny> that's great
11:46:00 <gee_man> how did your last week on this planet treat you?
11:46:00 <gee_man> (so far)
11:46:00 <Bonny> I had a good week
11:46:00 <Bonny> I work 3 days a week
11:47:00 <gee_man> so, nothing particularly stressful?
11:47:00 <Bonny> nah
11:47:00 <Bonny> I avoid stress
11:48:00 <gee_man> i think that's my problem, i don't avoid stress, i just think i'll handle it
11:48:00 <Bonny> best to avoid
11:48:00 <Bonny> I had the change my lifestyle to avoid stress
11:48:00 <Bonny> to*
11:48:00 <gee_man> yeah, well, i suppose i avoid a lot of stress by not leaving the house
11:49:00 <Bonny> that doesn't help much really
11:49:00 <Bonny> you need to get out of the house too
11:49:00 <gee_man> not in the long term, no
11:49:00 <Bonny> like today I'm going to mum's to pick her up to visit a mutual friend
11:49:00 <gee_man> but my approach to thinking i'll handle any amount of stress when i do leave the house helps
11:49:00 <Bonny> ok
11:49:00 <gee_man> oh ok
11:51:00 <gee_man> whenever i go for walks, i have stalkers follow me
11:51:00 <gee_man> filming me with their mobiles
11:51:00 <Bonny> they're prolly on their own journey of their walk
11:51:00 <gee_man> it's not even covert filming, like it's obvious they're filming the way they hold their phones
11:52:00 <Bonny> why would they want to film you?
11:52:00 <gee_man> nfi
11:53:00 <gee_man> anyway
11:53:00 <gee_man> i bought a treadmill
11:54:00 <gee_man> solves that problem
12:13:00 <Bonny> will you use it tho? like a lot of people buy treadmills and they only use it a couple of times and don't bother anymore
12:13:00 <Bonny> hey JJ
12:13:00 <gee_man> yes, i'm determined to use it 3x a week
12:13:00 <gee_man> at least
12:13:00 <Bonny> ok
12:13:00 <gee_man> i've had one before and it ended up as a clothes hanger
12:14:00 <Bonny> lol
12:14:00 <gee_man> but i've learnt from the experience
12:14:00 <gremlinz> (11:51:03) (+gee_man) whenever i go for walks, i have stalkers follow me
12:14:00 <gremlinz> lol wat
12:14:00 <Bonny> hey gremlinz
12:14:00 <gremlinz> hi Bonny
12:14:00 <gee_man> they don't want no scrubs gremlinz
12:14:00 <gremlinz> paranoid much :p
12:15:00 <gee_man> hanging out the passenger side of their best friend's ride, smartphone recordin' on me
12:15:00 <gremlinz> ahuh
12:21:00 <Bonny> catchyas later.. have a good good friday
12:22:00 <gee_man> they're there, i swear!
14:57:00 <ld0g> chocolate
14:57:00 <ld0g> thats enough now
14:58:00 <gee_man> it's not even sunday dude
14:58:00 <ld0g> i dont care
14:59:00 <gee_man> i think the only people who do are religious nuts
14:59:00 <electrohead> o/
15:00:00 <gee_man> ey electrohead
15:00:00 <electrohead> yo man
15:00:00 <gee_man> i'm learning php
15:02:00 <gee_man> once i gave out the web address to a guy who wanted to learn web development as "w3schools.org" instead of "w3schools.com"
15:02:00 <gee_man> turns out the .org address was owned by some religious nut
15:02:00 <gee_man> the dude i gave the address to came back all angry thinking i wanted to convert him or something
15:03:00 <gee_man> i was certain that it was .org, even after he came back all angry
15:03:00 <electrohead> o.O
15:03:00 <gee_man> the doorway effect basically happened because i was in a different mindstate
15:03:00 <gee_man> disassociation
15:04:00 <gee_man> i told him to check it again
15:04:00 <gee_man> he came back again, all angry, no mention of the website
15:05:00 <gee_man> then he came back again, smiling this time, told me the correct .com address, and i was like "oh, yeah, it might've actually been .com"
15:05:00 <gee_man> disassociation is how 'the doors' got their band name
15:07:00 <gee_man> my memory functions differently when i've entered a different doorway
15:07:00 <gee_man> as does everyone's
15:08:00 <gee_man> advertising breaks on television basically enforce it with a count of every different commercial being a different level of disassociation
15:08:00 <gee_man> then when the show starts again, *BAM* you're back at square one
15:09:00 <gee_man> advertising is the most violent non-violent thing a human can experience
15:16:00 <electrohead> lmfao
15:17:00 <gee_man> you probably don't notice, but if you watch one advertisement, then watch another straight after, your mind will associate them as two completely different segments in your memory
15:18:00 <gee_man> you probably won't make any inferences about why one advertisement was directly before another, or any association between advertisements, whatsoever
15:19:00 <gee_man> cartoons are a different ball-game, but it's the same principle
15:34:00 <gee_man> eventually cartoons will be broadcast into people's minds of whom are in comas with the story analogies being relevant to their lives so that they can be guided to waking up
15:35:00 <gee_man> </rant>
16:17:00 <gee_man> can you imagine what jesus was like when they decided to write a defintiive book about him? jesus: "nah, dude, i don't want a book written about me, i just wanna chill and help out where i can" 12 disciples: "leave it to us, we must spread the word about you" jesus: "ok, but don't be like making shit up about what i'm capable of" 12 disciples: "ok,
16:17:00 <gee_man> sure" *wink wink*
16:35:00 <gee_man> i guess india has control of my connection, now
17:05:00 <gee_man> replace all the canned laughter on sitcoms with demonic chuckling and roaring, and you start to understand that the characters are, indeed, in hell
17:06:00 <JJ> hi all
17:10:00 <gee_man> ey jj
17:10:00 <gee_man> don't upset the locals
17:35:00 <JJ> heya gee man
18:44:00 <JJ> fanks
18:44:00 <JJ> not a fan of coffee tho :P
18:44:00 <JJ> I'll have a tea
18:44:00 <JJ> ;)
18:44:00 <electrohead> :P
18:44:00 <JJ> how r ya ?
18:45:00 <electrohead> pretty good! just working on some stuff right now, trying to get the correct damn setup for my one laptop and external monitor
18:45:00 <electrohead> these hybrid graphics card setups can blow me.
18:45:00 <electrohead> >.<
18:46:00 <JJ> oh okay.
18:46:00 <electrohead> lol
19:01:00 <liminal> what os are you using?
19:02:00 <electrohead> arch linux
19:03:00 <electrohead> I'm using the monitor connected via HDMI right now, but the LVDS1 screen is currently turned off
19:03:00 <liminal> im currently using pop with a laptop hybrid nvidea setup, seem to work ok, but I was thinking of hoppinh to arch
19:03:00 <electrohead> pop?
19:03:00 <liminal> pop!_os
19:03:00 <electrohead> ahh
19:03:00 <electrohead> barely heard of that
19:03:00 <electrohead> lol
19:04:00 <electrohead> this is an older laptop, therefore I have to use the fucking nvidia390 legacy drivers
19:04:00 <liminal> yeah, its gaining popularity i guess. people claimed its what you should use with hybrid setups
19:04:00 <doggyrat> hello
19:04:00 <liminal> ahhh yeah not sure about that
19:04:00 <electrohead> and because of that, I'm having weird issues trying to get the monitors to work how I want them
19:04:00 <electrohead> it's frustrating, lol
19:05:00 <electrohead> hey doggyrat
19:05:00 <liminal> yeah, nvidia is always a bit more of a pain i guess
19:05:00 <doggyrat> hello electrohead
19:05:00 <doggyrat> hello liminal
19:05:00 <liminal> hey doggyrat
19:06:00 <doggyrat> liminal: you seem to be new in that channel
19:06:00 <liminal> give pop!_os a go if you really can't get it working on arch. but it is gnome by default
19:06:00 <liminal> yeah ive poped in once before
19:06:00 <JJ> hi doggyrat
19:06:00 <liminal> and had a talk with you
19:06:00 <liminal> actually
19:07:00 <liminal> but yeah, im new
19:07:00 <electrohead> but.. why? it's just drivers and configurations, no need to switch to a completely different distro just for that
19:07:00 <doggyrat> sorry i am old and do have a rat brain , that works to find food
19:07:00 <doggyrat> hello JJ
19:08:00 <JJ> how r u ?
19:08:00 <liminal> Yeah, maybe you can just try their nvidea drivers, they did some work on it, never bothered to look into it
19:08:00 <electrohead> whose nvidia drivers? ... nvidia's?
19:08:00 <electrohead> lol
19:09:00 <electrohead> nvidia drivers are closed source
19:09:00 <electrohead> are you thinking about the open source nouveau driver?
19:09:00 <electrohead> because that's the current driver I'm using right now, and it's working out better than the nvidia driver :P
19:09:00 <liminal> no its not nouveau drivers
19:09:00 <liminal> https://support.system76.com/articles/system76-driver/
19:10:00 <liminal> yeh fair
19:10:00 <electrohead> "the System76 Driver with NVIDIA graphics drivers built-in"
19:10:00 <electrohead> "In addition to the standard packages, that will pull in the latest NVIDIA drivers as packaged by System76, and all related packages needed to take full advantage of your dedicated NVIDIA graphics card."
19:11:00 <liminal> yeah i dunno lol
19:11:00 <electrohead> that is just system76 repackaging something, along with installing the *same* driver you would install from nvidia, themselves
19:11:00 <liminal> yup
19:11:00 <liminal> but it seems to work better for hybrid systems
19:11:00 <liminal> i dont know why
19:11:00 <liminal> or if that claim is true
19:11:00 <liminal> but it worked for me
19:12:00 <liminal> but im on a new system
19:12:00 <electrohead> because they probably have configs pre-written for certain hardware, to be tossed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
19:12:00 <liminal> yeah id say so
19:12:00 <electrohead> and *poof*
19:12:00 <electrohead> :p
19:13:00 <electrohead> but on that note, I've been up for three fucking hours at least, as I crashed early. it's now 0513 here, guh
19:13:00 <electrohead> need. sleep.
19:13:00 <liminal> yeah sleep mate
19:13:00 <electrohead> g'night mate, have a good one o/
19:13:00 <liminal> yu[p
19:16:00 <electrohead> before I leave the lab area, had this pulled up - https://github.com/pop-os/system76-driver/tree/master/quirks - wanted to share that with you, cheers!
19:19:00 <gee_man> labor is going to win, however the 48 hours before may 21 will determine if there's going to be a hung parliament
19:20:00 <gee_man> judging by the meme armies, this is a very real possibility, depending on the highest bidders
