00:00:15 <xDR1TeK> it is even worse than not taking a shower
00:00:25 <ThunderSqueak> very much
00:00:54 <xDR1TeK> you know what? thanks, i will never touch it, even more than before
00:01:00 <xDR1TeK> and i never did
00:01:03 <ThunderSqueak> and some people like that smell because it means they can get high
00:01:18 <ThunderSqueak> those of us who do not partake can smell thsoe who do
00:01:31 <ThunderSqueak> it clings to them
00:01:48 <ThunderSqueak> but they are like "I dont smell anything" -.-
00:02:01 <xDR1TeK> like asparagus
00:02:08 <xDR1TeK> except on the inside
00:02:32 <xDR1TeK> it works differently
00:02:37 <xDR1TeK> but you know what i mean
00:02:49 <ThunderSqueak> yeah, ever smell an alcoholic?
00:02:57 <ThunderSqueak> that acrid stench ?
00:03:19 <ThunderSqueak> make that a sickenly sweet rotting smell and multiply by 1000
00:05:19 <ThunderSqueak> you know your drunk when you hit your gag reflex when drinking alcohol
00:05:26 <ThunderSqueak> should I continue... or stop
00:05:29 <DHess_US> I'm not sure that it climgs any more than the smell of tobacco. If someone just walks through a room which has tobacco smoke, I can smell it on their clothes a week later.
00:05:30 <ThunderSqueak> that is the qustion
00:06:03 <DHess_US> There is a sure way to avoid a hangover; don't stop drinking.
00:06:15 <ThunderSqueak> I have never had a hangover
00:06:20 <ThunderSqueak> family trait
00:06:25 <ThunderSqueak> we dont get them
00:06:38 <DHess_US> Then you are not a real drinker.
00:06:42 <xDR1TeK> yeh true, cig smoke smell is sticky
00:06:59 <ThunderSqueak> DHess_US, no, just a genetic disposition
00:07:08 <ThunderSqueak> I have had the DT's before
00:07:28 <ThunderSqueak> and a seizure from stopping about a decade ago, but never a hangover
00:07:30 <ThunderSqueak> XDD
00:07:49 <ThunderSqueak> I still drink, just no where near what I did
00:07:55 <xDR1TeK> the enzyme that breaks down alcohol, if that is abscent, then alcohol will break down some neural cells
00:08:00 <ThunderSqueak> I was hanging out with a bad influence
00:08:23 <xDR1TeK> oh i know that one
00:08:24 <ThunderSqueak> xDR1TeK, I am female, we dont have the enzyme
00:08:27 <ThunderSqueak> or less of it
00:08:36 <ThunderSqueak> XD
00:08:51 <ThunderSqueak> anyway, I also drink like 2-3 liters of water per day
00:08:54 <xDR1TeK> ThunderSqueak i am not sure if it is gender related
00:09:05 <xDR1TeK> good
00:09:13 <ThunderSqueak> but I haeev never had a hangover
00:09:32 <xDR1TeK> moderate consumption is fine
00:09:35 <ThunderSqueak> and since my home was destroyed by the planet
00:09:43 <ThunderSqueak> why the fuck not be drunk
00:09:53 <DHess_US> Alcohol dehydrogenases
00:10:04 <xDR1TeK> the hangover comes from the excessive secretion of the enzymes, not alcohol
00:10:09 <ThunderSqueak> and it is gender related
00:10:28 <xDR1TeK> alright, we admit defeat
00:10:30 <ThunderSqueak> women generally do not metabolize alcohol the same as men
00:10:41 <ThunderSqueak> another genetic thing
00:10:42 <ThunderSqueak> meh
00:10:45 <xDR1TeK> is it due to water retention?
00:10:50 <ThunderSqueak> no
00:11:21 <ThunderSqueak> here, I gotta go pee
00:11:25 <ThunderSqueak> read this https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/enzyme-lack-lowers-womens/
00:11:55 <xDR1TeK> needs a min or 2
00:12:16 <xDR1TeK> from April 16, 2001
00:12:29 <xDR1TeK> oh it is definitely expired science by now
00:12:50 <ThunderSqueak> hah
00:12:57 <ThunderSqueak> its been backed up since then
00:13:00 <ThunderSqueak> anyway
00:13:01 <ThunderSqueak> meh
00:13:11 * ThunderSqueak decides she is a lesbian
00:13:14 <xDR1TeK> i believe anything, dont bother
00:13:25 <ThunderSqueak> men argue with me, so... none for them
00:14:04 <xDR1TeK> Gin myself
00:14:23 <xDR1TeK> but if mixture is out of spec, instant burn
00:14:30 <ThunderSqueak> also, my last BF of 10 years brought home a younger woman and they boinked in the room next to my office and I got to listen... so men are assholes
00:14:43 * ThunderSqueak was bi, but is now a lesbian
00:14:43 <xDR1TeK> wow
00:15:05 <xDR1TeK> running dry since 2011 myself
00:15:29 <ThunderSqueak> do you like your martini wet or dry?
00:15:43 <xDR1TeK> dry
00:15:58 <xDR1TeK> add some soda and basil with it
00:16:27 <xDR1TeK> that olive part i never understood it
00:16:34 <xDR1TeK> too salty with the drink
00:18:34 <ThunderSqueak> personally I prefer a Martinez cocktail, it tastes better
00:18:53 <ThunderSqueak> it is what a martini is based on
00:19:02 <ThunderSqueak> uses sweet vermouth though
00:19:16 <xDR1TeK> ah
00:19:36 <xDR1TeK> might work with the pipe
00:19:43 <xDR1TeK> should give it a try sometime
00:19:47 <ThunderSqueak> I do like them dirty, olive and a dash of the olive juice
00:20:13 <xDR1TeK> olive juice? the oil you mean?
00:20:19 <ThunderSqueak> lots of poeple think a martini must be dry because of james bond
00:20:21 <ThunderSqueak> XD
00:20:27 <ThunderSqueak> but that isnt the case
00:20:33 <xDR1TeK> i admit that
00:20:36 <xDR1TeK> yes
00:21:09 <ThunderSqueak> I figure if your going to drink paint thinner, it might as well taste good
00:21:17 <xDR1TeK> :D
00:21:39 <xDR1TeK> Gordon's Dry Gin, i always chase after those
00:21:47 <xDR1TeK> the one with the boar on the label
00:22:24 <ThunderSqueak> ya if it requires a chaser your drinking the wrong thing XD
00:24:42 <xDR1TeK> i sip for hours, won't have 3 drinks even. I tend to not turn to something if it is not in my FoV directly
00:25:03 <xDR1TeK> focus level 1000
01:33:01 <xDR1TeK> Reception asked me if i can boost the power on her desk unicorn
01:33:21 <xDR1TeK> it got one led and 3 LR44 bats
01:33:42 <xDR1TeK> any more power and the led fries
01:33:47 <xDR1TeK> or bats die
01:33:55 <xDR1TeK> more leds?
01:34:34 <xDR1TeK> use a makeshift boost conv with a D cell bat?
01:34:55 <xDR1TeK> or just 4 AA with a res drop
01:35:37 <xDR1TeK> no, instead of res drop, bias a bjt instead
01:35:57 <xDR1TeK> or not
02:21:21 <Ampera> mmm, people communicatening
02:21:50 <xDR1TeK> no

04:31:06 <K> gas?
04:36:20 <DHess_US> No. It looks like the floor was covered in planks and the unburnt powder got swept into the cracks.
04:36:40 <DHess_US> I've seen that happen before. It looks exactly like a smokeless powder fire.
04:41:22 <DHess_US> When I was in high school, a friend worked at a gun range and they would sweep the unburnt smokeless powder into a steel pail and light it. Fun times.
04:45:49 <K> i dont know much about guns, but i thought powder burns up
04:50:17 <DHess_US> It depends on the cartridge load and barrel length. Slower burning powders require heavier bullets and longer barrels to completely burn. The daily maintanance at a shooting range includes sweeping up unburnt powder and disposing of it properly.
04:51:39 <K> eh, somebody was lazy then
04:52:22 <DHess_US> So for instance the heaviest load with the heaviest bullet in 30-30 using IMR4350 smokeless powder never completely burns and you end up with tiny pieces of unburnt smokeless power that looks like macaroni everywhere.
04:52:32 <K> but it did look like fire suppersion kicked in fairly quick
04:52:46 <DHess_US> Well, they were just dumb to put planking down on the floor with cracks where the unburnt powder would fall.
04:53:06 <DHess_US> That wasn't fire supression. That was smoke from the fire.
04:53:17 <DHess_US> That range wasn't ventilated properly either.
04:53:49 <K> oh
04:54:24 <K> otoh you probably need special suppression for gunpowder anyway
04:54:35 <DHess_US> Eh, just water.
04:54:56 <K> doesnt it produce it's own oxygen?
04:54:57 <DHess_US> You can't smother it because it doesn't require oxygen to burn.
04:55:12 <K> ah, but when wet it wont have the energy
04:55:14 <K> makes sense
04:55:21 <DHess_US> The only thing you can do it lower the temperature which water is good at.
04:55:45 <DHess_US> Black powder is a whole different thing though. You con't put out black powder. It just explodes.
04:56:17 <DHess_US> Smokeless powder just burns vigorously.
04:58:55 <K> welp, guns be dangerous yall

19:24:17 <Halcyon> Interesting, we should have the first 5G phones and mobile hotspots next year
19:24:59 <Halcyon> Also the Nighthawk M2 is due out shortly, 2Gbps over LTE

20:50:29 <damian> telstra already have 5g available right? optus is 'coming in february' so they told me when they called me spruking the othe rday

23:31:07 <Ampera> Sorry Halcyon, I had to get up early to try to convince Comcast to refund an 80 dollar boxing match recording my grandfather managed to buy on his TV without realizing it
23:32:05 <Ampera> so needless to say, he's going to somone else. From what I can tell Frontier has apparently bought up the fiber lines Verizon apparently stuck in the area, under the same brand name that I get (just slower speeds)
23:32:21 <Ampera> so they are offering 200/200 FttP for 50 USD/mo
23:33:11 <Ampera> This is compared to the 250/5 (yes 5) MoCA internet he gets now with TV and Phone for 200USD/mo
23:34:45 <Ampera> As for the 5G connections, that's pretty damn impressive, but I wonder what speeds you actually get, and which ones they intend to sell to you.
23:46:29 <coppice> 50 USD/mo is very expensive
23:49:11 <T3sl4> not in the US
23:52:37 <coppice> you folks are soooo RICH!
