22:11 <Mekkis> 1. Gattermann[1] recommends that the operator smoke during the preparation, for he found that a trace of hydrogen cyanide is sufficient to give the tobacco smoke a highly characteristic flavor. This preliminary warning is useful in case of leaky apparatus or a faulty hood.

05:55 <Mekkis>  as long as most a majority of low income people still vote for a party that will tax the low incomes but cover the high incomes, they get what they deserve I guess :-\

05:53 Ballig is now known as Ballig1
10:34 Ballig1 is now known as Ballig
10:36 <Ballig> w/e
29:10 <Avatar> Mekkis: is there a party that doesn't do that
58:35 <Mekkis> Avatar, in general, Australia tends to tax the high incomes more
11:07 <Avatar> I got a census
11:20 <Avatar> like just in case I want to submit a paper census instead of doing it online
11:37 <Avatar> maybe they think I will want to pretend I am a neanderthal that night
11:48 <Avatar> quite considerate of them to give me that option I think
13:18 <Ballig> when is the census night
13:40 <Avatar> 9th aug
13:59 <Avatar> anyone know a way to manipulate the answers so that people like us get free shit
14:12 <Ballig> what's "free shit"
14:20 <Avatar> you know, free health care and whatnot
14:42 <Ballig> we get free health care
15:00 <Avatar> I don't
15:04 <Ballig> yes you do
15:07 <Ballig> what do you think your medicare card does
15:20 <Avatar> that's not free enough
15:45 <Ballig> it's just that doctors want to charge more than medicare pays
16:00 <Ballig> that's what "free health care" is though
16:03 <Ballig> there's also free public hospitals
16:11 <Ballig> you can go and get surgery and not pay a cent
16:37 <Avatar> well you know, other things
16:51 <Avatar> other free shit
17:02 <Avatar> that don't require you to be married and have a kid or three
17:04 <Ballig> you realise that's not how censuses work, right
17:12 <Avatar> of course it is
17:13 <Ballig> a census just collects data
17:15 <Avatar> that's what they told us
17:16 <Ballig> it's not used to give you free stuff
17:20 <Avatar> it will help them where to allocate funding
17:28 <Avatar> they should allocate it to us
17:30 <Avatar> to more d&d
18:10 <Ballig> doesn't help them allocate funding at all
19:14 <Avatar> that's what they say it does
19:33 <Ballig> you know that it doesn't
19:45 <Avatar> “It’s so important to complete the Census form accurately because it will shed some light on your community. Census information is used to allocate funding for critical infrastructure and services such as roads, schools, parks and hospitals,” Mr Lowe says.
20:12 <Ballig> it doesn't, though
20:19 <Ballig> that's just how they convince you to do it
20:28 <Avatar> then I'm not fucking doing it
20:35 <Avatar> what is the point
20:44 <Avatar> I will just tell them I am a muslim
21:03 <Avatar> that way maybe they will think I might start a holy war 
21:08 <Avatar> for false advertising for the census
25:49 <Avatar> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxGS-2M6_5I
30:46 <Brunius> Avatar, you are legally required to submit a census.
31:12 <Brunius> (form)
31:25 <Avatar> yeah I will just tell them I am a muslim
31:39 <Avatar> no I can't do that if I want money can I
32:00 <Avatar> do you reckon they will look after you better if you pretend to be upper or lower class
33:28 <Ballig> you clearly don't understand censuses
35:06 <Avatar> oh here we go, aboroiginal
35:11 <Avatar> aboriginal*
37:48 <Ballig> are you expecting to put "aboriginal" on your census and then receive a cheque in the mail a few weeks later?
37:56 <Avatar> no but they will give me free shit
38:03 <Avatar> this 'area'
38:51 <Ballig> nope
39:13 <Ballig> let's say that you got yourself and 500 of your neighbours to all put yourselves as aboriginal or torres strait islander
39:43 <Ballig> all that might accomplish (still unlikely) is make the government think "oh, shit, there's a relatively large community of indigenous people in X suburb. maybe we should consider opening some more indigenous-specific services there."
40:34 <Ballig> so if your end goal is to get an aboriginal tenants advice and advocacy service started in your area, go for it
40:53 <Ballig> (hint: you won't actually be able to use the service, it will be for indigenous people only)
40:55 <Avatar> haha
40:59 <Avatar> well maybe something else
41:10 <Avatar> you are probably on the money with that one
41:20 <Brunius> Avatar, it's not going to work.
41:23 <Avatar> no to schooling
41:23 <Brunius> Just accept it.
41:31 <Avatar> Brunius: that's a losers attitude
41:45 <Avatar> don't you want to be a winner
41:46 <Brunius> That's a loser's attitude because it's not going to work.
41:51 <Avatar> don't you want to be a winner
41:55 <Brunius> I'm bi-winning.
41:58 <Brunius> :P
42:33 <Brunius> Don't forget to put your religion down as Jedi!
52:19 <Avatar> fucking electricity bill came
15:44 <Brunius> I hate you VCE
15:47 <Brunius> I hate you.
16:01 <Avatar> don't you have to be in grade 12 to do that
16:11 <Brunius> ...
16:19 <Brunius> I'm going into VCE next year.
16:28 <Avatar> what am I thinking of
16:34 <Brunius> Gotta make subject choices now.
16:46 <Avatar> what are you thinking of choosing
16:56 <Brunius> Craft Of Writing
16:56 <Brunius> Classical Studies
16:56 <Brunius> Engineering Project
16:56 <Brunius> English			1/2
16:56 <Brunius> Literature			1/2
16:56 <Brunius> Business Management	1/2
16:56 <Brunius> General Mathematics		1/2
16:56 <Brunius> Maths Methods		1/2
16:56 <Brunius> Chemistry			1/2
16:56 <Brunius> Physics			1/2

16:57 <Brunius> Chemistry			3/4
16:57 <Brunius> Physics			3/4
16:57 <Brunius> IT Software Development	3/4
17:24 <Avatar> you can choose all of that?
17:34 <Brunius> Three Year VCE
17:38 <Brunius> I get 16 subjects
17:47 <Brunius> As opposed to the normal 11
18:01 <Avatar> I did chemistry and was fucking it right up
18:06 <Avatar> got out of there and switched to easy maths
18:15 <Avatar> while I was also doing semihard maths
18:18 <Brunius> I like Chem
18:26 <Brunius> I remember the stuff pretty easily
18:58 <Avatar> I was failing the shit out of semihard maths as well, but I needed it for my IT degree, so I tortured myself with it for another year
19:24 <Avatar> in the end my OP counted for nothing anyway
19:50 <Brunius> Semihard is Probably further maths
20:09 <Avatar> then there's stupidhard maths
20:10 <Brunius> I'm pretty crap at math but I'm thinking going into engineering and I need it for that.
20:18 <Brunius> (Need methods, that is)
20:25 <Avatar> I'm not sure it is actually stupidhard, I don't know enough about it
20:28 <Brunius> stupidhard is probably methods or AGM
20:32 <Avatar> different strand or something
20:54 <Avatar> drama was my best subject
21:15 <Avatar> drama/IT were the repreieves
21:24 <Avatar> I was pretty decent at english
21:44 <Avatar> you're doing mostly maths and science
21:52 <Avatar> you're game
22:44 <Avatar> I got an OP 15, where 1 is the best and 25 is the worst
22:52 <Brunius> OP?
22:53 <Avatar> I expected 15-18, so I was pretty satisfied with that
22:59 <Avatar> it's qld's rating system
23:02 <Brunius> Ah
23:10 <Brunius> They call it ATAR down here
23:18 <Avatar> I got uh
23:27 <Avatar> 3 B's, a C and 2 E's in my subjects
23:40 <Avatar> and they don't count your lowest mark
24:05 <Brunius> Night.
24:10 Brunius is now known as Brunius_AFK
24:15 <Avatar> are you leaving
24:20 <Avatar> we are having a good old chat about education
25:54 <Avatar> Ballig: seems like every time I am checking Bob, I am always doing carpentry now
26:06 <Avatar> because I am never exhausted and don't fucking gain
26:25 <Avatar> too slowly anyway
