10:15:42 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera, I tried SPAM for the first time yesterday
10:18:06 <Ampera> ok
10:18:16 <Halcyon> What's wrong
10:18:32 <Ampera> nothing
10:26:01 <DHess_US> Cut it into slices and frying it in a pan works well.
10:26:10 <Halcyon> Yeh that's what I did
10:26:20 <Halcyon> Then I made a Spam and Cheese toasted sammich
10:26:27 <DHess_US> It's too salty to throw in with mac and cheese or potatoes.
10:26:38 <Halcyon> I wasn't a fan. Too salty and the texture was strange
10:26:57 <DHess_US> It's pretty salty especially if you are used to not salting your food.
10:27:17 <Halcyon> Yeh I generally don't
10:28:08 <DHess_US> It makes a good camping or hard work food where you should be eating extra salt anyway.
10:28:35 <DHess_US> And of course emergency food.
10:28:39 <Halcyon> I'm not sure the modern diet needs extra salt. I think people eat too much of it anyway.
10:28:52 <Halcyon> Oh yeh, perfect for the zombie apocalypse
10:28:55 <DHess_US> But canned soup is better for emergency food since it provides a better diet and has water included.
10:29:18 <DHess_US> I don't salt my food or use salt when cooking.
10:29:48 <Halcyon> I use small amounts of salt in some cooking and quite a lot when making pasta (but most of it doesn't end up in the finished product)
10:30:10 <DHess_US> If you aren't eating extra salt, then anytime you are sweating a lot like in hot weather or doing hard work, you should be taking more.
10:32:50 <Halcyon> Or just don't work in hot weather :P
10:33:48 <Halcyon> But yeh, I don't think I'll be buying Spam again
10:36:11 <Halcyon> I should get back to my uni work, I have a paper due tonight
10:36:15 <Halcyon> I don't wanna :(
10:36:23 <Ampera> Halcyon, Spam Lite
10:36:37 <Ampera> it has less salt
10:36:52 <Halcyon> Sure, but it's still squidgy
10:37:01 <Ampera> fry it better
10:37:04 <Ampera> cut it thin
10:37:05 <Ampera> spam chips
10:37:18 <Ampera> I also cube it up and put it in my ramen
10:37:26 <Halcyon> Ahh yeh there is a "Less sodium" version
10:37:33 <Halcyon> Spam Lite has the same amount of salt, just less fat
10:37:38 <Halcyon> It's got chicken meat in it
10:37:48 <Ampera> ah
10:38:10 <Ampera> it might be spam low sodium
10:38:12 <Halcyon> Meh, I can just dice up some ham or bacon, it's better
10:38:35 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10:38:37 <Ampera> I like it
10:38:45 <Halcyon> You're allowed to like it :P
10:38:55 <Ampera> thanks for the permission
10:39:18 <Halcyon> Holy crap it has a lot of fat though, I didn't see that bit
10:39:30 <Halcyon> 25% total fat, 9% saturates
10:39:31 <Ampera> fat is good for you
10:41:29 <Halcyon> I was talking to my neighbour last night, he's a good guy but has some interesting ideas about aliens
10:41:44 <Halcyon> Anyway, he was saying he didn't want 5G because it kills people and animals
10:42:37 <Ampera> he sounds like someone who ate tinsel as a kid
10:42:46 <Halcyon> ROFL!
10:42:56 <Halcyon> I think he smoked a bit too much weed when he was younger
10:43:14 <Halcyon> But tinsel! Hahahah! Love it
10:43:32 <Ampera> that's what my grandfather did
10:43:40 <Halcyon> What? Literally ate tinsel?
10:44:47 <Ampera> Lead tinsel.
10:45:13 <Halcyon> Hm
10:45:26 <Halcyon> At least his poop was sparkly?
10:46:09 <steve30> I've never had spam, but I always remember the adverts
10:46:10 <steve30> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSQtfWnFLIs
10:46:52 <Halcyon> Spam for an anniversary?
10:46:55 <Halcyon> Wow
10:47:19 <Halcyon> The Aussie version is just as annoying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e5dTmNzDn8
10:48:21 <steve30> :)
10:52:35 <Halcyon> Here's some ads for you steve30 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOyaP4Kr8R8
10:54:25 <Halcyon> Stupid cats
10:57:01 <Halcyon> OK I'm going to finish this damn paper, laters

11:11:35 <Ampera> The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
11:12:23 <Ampera> Man I love mechanical keyboards, it's so easy to just, on a whim, rip off all the keys, open them up, and vacuum out the insides without either a load of foam pads and/or rubber domes flying everywhere, or it turning into a surgical operation.
12:11:01 <DHess_US> Plus you can hardwire swap caps lock and control.

12:22:17 <DHess_US> Interesting. I created a new toolbar just so I could stick the recycle bin on the toolbar and use it. So then I tried doing that with drive F and it didn'twork. So I copied it over and it gave me two copies and I had to delete one.
12:22:42 <Ampera> toolbar?
12:23:36 <DHess_US> Eh, it was a dumb idea anyway because it didn't work. Somehow the recycle bin works but a drive doesn't.
12:23:50 <DHess_US> Ampera, it's the only way to stick a working recycle bin icon on the task bar.
12:23:52 <Ampera> you can put toolbars on the windows desktop?
12:23:58 <Ampera> wha
12:24:39 <Halcyon> Speaking of keyboards, one thing I absolutely loved about the old Apple keyboards was the latching caps lock key
12:24:42 <DHess_US> I wanted a faster way to see how much free space I had.
12:24:53 <Halcyon> When you enabled it, it was held down in a locked position
12:25:03 <Ampera> That's why dockapps are nice
12:25:11 <Ampera> with windowmaker I can have all sorts of widgets like that
12:25:13 <DHess_US> Yea, physically latching keys went away pretty quickly.
12:25:24 <Halcyon> I know, it was a shame :(
12:25:34 <DHess_US> Ampera, Microsoft neutered the ability to do that on Windows 7 and later.
12:25:48 <Halcyon> Wasn't that called "Active Desktop" ?
12:26:00 <DHess_US> LIke the fucking reveal desktop icon. They moved it to an active corner which is fucking useless when you have more than one monitor.
12:26:52 <DHess_US> You can't just drag the mouse to the active corner becauase it misses unlike if you have just one monitor.
12:27:11 <DHess_US> Two monitors is apparently too hard for Microsoft.
12:27:41 * Ampera nudges a copy of X.Org at DHess_US
12:29:44 <DHess_US> Going to build a new Win 10 system, transfer over to it, and then stick Gentoo on this one.
12:36:27 <Ampera> Don't you get it, old man? Arch is the new Gentoo!
12:40:45 <Halcyon> DHess_US, I'm surprised you aren't already a Linux convert
12:40:52 <Halcyon> I can't fucking stand Windows 10
12:45:54 <Ampera> Do you have time in your day to talk about our lord and savior, Linus Torvalds?
12:48:46 <Halcyon> Hahaha
12:48:52 <Ampera> how do halcyon
12:50:05 <Halcyon> Procrastinating, I need to stop
12:50:21 <Ampera> essay?
12:50:48 <Halcyon> Yup

13:01:12 <DHess_US> I've chatted with Linus before. I have more FreeBSD systems than Linux systems.
13:10:28 <Ampera> I have 3 Linux systems and 1 FreeBSD system
13:10:50 <Ampera> Overall Linux has not become anything special to me because of it's mundane place in my life. I rely upon it entirely now.
13:11:21 <Ampera> FreeBSD I like for being different and familiar. It simplifies a lot of Linux concepts, and has a really nice kernel module system that I quite like.
13:11:36 <Ampera> It has inferior software support however.

15:12:06 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera, can I send you a part of my paper to read and give me your opinion?
15:12:11 <Ampera> Sure
15:12:11 <Halcyon> Input etc...
15:14:55 <Halcyon> Emailed it to you
15:16:16 <Halcyon> I'm just wondering what else I can talk about
15:16:30 <Halcyon> It's a very high-level paper, don't expect too much technical detail
15:17:31 <Ampera> First suggestion: Get rid of the justified spacing.
15:17:39 <Ampera> It really stretches out some segments and makes them weird to read.
15:19:08 <Ampera> It's just me, but it's also annoying to read a document proclaiming facts without some sort of rudimentary set of inline citations, however that may not be allowed, required, or desirable for this assignment.
15:19:44 <Ampera> (to ensure the security of your document I will be continuing this in private)

19:26:55 <Halcyon> :)
19:27:09 * damian throws a grenade into Halcyon's lap
19:27:17 <Halcyon> Hehe
19:28:10 <damian> flat earthers make me giggle
19:28:33 <Halcyon> I honestly don't know how a person can delude themselves to that degree
19:28:43 <Halcyon> I mean I know, they have mental issues, but still
19:28:46 <damian> man there's some great quotes in this
19:29:36 <damian> 'so pretend it's a dinner plate. if you stood on the outside and spun it you would zoom of. if you stood in the middle you don't
19:29:50 <Halcyon> Heh yep
19:29:51 <steve30> I propose a compromise. Cube shaped Earth.
19:30:02 <damian> yeah, lets start a new cult. the cubers
19:30:04 <Halcyon> Even between themselves, they can't get their stories straight
19:30:20 <damian> yeah
19:30:41 <damian> oh this guy just hit the nail on the head
19:30:49 <damian> 'its about love!'
19:30:56 <Halcyon> Hahah
19:31:05 <Halcyon> Well at least he doesn't pretend it's science
19:31:23 <damian> all of these people need love so they're finding people who they can stand together with
19:33:00 <damian> 'how can that be hanging there like that anywhere in the world'
19:33:05 <damian> 'well .. gravity, right?'
19:33:09 <damian> 'in your imagination, yes!'
19:33:10 <damian> wat
19:33:15 <Halcyon> Yuhuh
19:33:26 <damian> 'how does a lunar eclipse work?'
19:33:27 <damian> hahahaha

19:33:32 <damian> who is he
19:33:55 <damian> 'what does that have to do with the flat earth?'
19:33:55 <Halcyon> *shrug*
19:33:56 <damian> 'nothing!'
