20:00:08 <Halcyon> My banana is girthy
20:23:17 <Ampera> hi Halcyon
20:39:13 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
20:39:53 <Ampera> hullo
20:40:09 <Halcyon> What's doing ?
20:40:36 <soulreap> hi
20:40:42 <Halcyon> Hey soulreap
20:40:52 <soulreap> hi Halcyon
20:41:08 <soulreap> cold tonight
20:41:42 <Halcyon> Where you at?
20:41:53 <soulreap> tasmania
20:41:58 <Halcyon> Ahh yeh that's right
20:42:01 <Halcyon> Yeh it would be there
20:42:12 <Halcyon> I'm about 800 metres ASL and it's getting cold here too
20:42:39 <Ampera> it's 54 where I am
20:42:49 <Ampera> 91% humidity
20:43:11 <soulreap> it raind too
20:43:15 <Halcyon> Winter here soon so it's drying out
20:43:38 <Ampera> we, with the rest of the civilized world, are in spring, nearing summer.
20:44:02 <Halcyon> I can't help that we're advanced :P
20:46:15 <Ampera> Bricks were advanced compared to simply forming some dirt into walls
20:47:43 <Halcyon> Yup
20:47:59 <Halcyon> Except for the NBN, that's put us back about 20 years
20:48:08 <Halcyon> Thank fuck for wireless
20:50:35 <Halcyon> It's almost at the point here where fixed wire is for backhaul and customers are on wireless
20:50:48 <Halcyon> Unless you're close to a node
20:51:19 <Ampera> No Broadband Network
20:51:40 <Ampera> We're also allowed to open packages in public, but I won't get into that.
20:51:53 <Halcyon> ?
20:52:33 <Ampera> We have these things called swiss army knives, quite useful if you, you know, buy something, and have the audacity to want to open it :P
20:52:55 <Halcyon> You realise we are allowed knives for utilitarian purposes right?
20:53:08 <Halcyon> As I've always said
20:53:39 <Ampera> That's not a job though, that's a generic, I want a knife to use it for general purposes, consideration.
20:53:55 <Halcyon> Wha!?
20:54:14 <Halcyon> If you have a valid purpose, you can carry one. If you want to carry it "just because", that's bullshit.
20:54:17 <Ampera> Halcyon, can I carry around a swiss army knife without a predestined reason besides using it for general purposes.
20:54:31 <Halcyon> But that's stupid? Why carry it for no reason
20:54:40 <Halcyon> It's like taking an umbrella on a sunny day
20:54:41 <Ampera> As I said, if I buy something and wish to open it
20:54:44 <Ampera> remove a tag
20:54:55 <Ampera> There are small scissors on mine, bottle and can opener
20:54:56 <Halcyon> We have fingers and hands for that kind of thing
20:54:57 <Halcyon> But you know
20:56:59 <Ampera> Don't misunderstand me, I'm not complaining, I'm making fun of you.
20:57:28 <Ampera> because you seem to live in a society where trusting people with swiss army knives is such a problem it needs to be made illegal, and cause purpose for random searches
20:57:55 <Halcyon> Correct
20:58:02 <Halcyon> Because people are fucked
20:58:21 <Ampera> and they are going to do what with a swiss army knife?
20:58:40 <Ampera> It's about as useful as a screwdriver for stabbing
20:58:42 <Halcyon> Knives can be used to stab/threaten people
20:59:04 <Halcyon> Screw drives can be used for stabbing too
20:59:19 <Halcyon> And I suspect the average citizen would still be fearful
20:59:19 <Ampera> If someone was sad enough to use a swiss army knife to rob me, I'd probably give them money out of pity not fear
20:59:27 <Halcyon> Yes, that's you
20:59:31 <Halcyon> Most people don't think that way
20:59:45 <Ampera> Have you ever seen a swiss army knife?
20:59:56 <Halcyon> Is that a serious question?
21:00:21 <Ampera> I'm wondering if you're being serious, because the UK and AU are two of the only countries I know of that even do this
21:00:36 <Halcyon> You know they aren't all just small tiny blades right?
21:00:44 <Halcyon> Victorinox and Leatherman make large ones
21:01:13 <Halcyon> And it doesn't take much if you're stabbed in the throat
21:01:59 <Ampera> I just can't get this through my head, it's the stupidest law I've ever heard
21:02:07 <Halcyon> But it works
21:02:12 <Halcyon> That's the brilliant thing about it
21:02:14 <Ampera> Germany doesn't do this.
21:02:21 <Ampera> They're not burning to the ground
21:02:28 <Ampera> UK does do this, and they have a rampant knife crime problem.
21:02:38 <Halcyon> UK Police also aren't armed
21:02:49 <Halcyon> Whilst a baton can break legs, it's not so great in a knife/gun fight
21:02:59 <Ampera> I'd take the steel baton over a swiss army knife
21:03:05 <Ampera> or most knives
21:03:20 <Halcyon> I prefer my firearm, but yeh sure, each to their own
21:03:47 <Halcyon> We are trained not to bring batons or OC spray to a knife/gun fight
21:03:57 <Halcyon> Taser... MAYBE
21:04:24 <Halcyon> But even still, you only have 2 shots with a Taser with a reload in between
21:04:30 <Halcyon> With a Glock we have 30 rounds

21:53:01 <Halcyon> Oh wow, Huawei phones have a "Huawei ID" for all your cloud-based goodness
21:53:11 <Halcyon> That doesn't have Chinese spy all over it does it?
22:00:22 <steve30> I think anything of that nature is spying
