00:36:24 <Ampera> My finger I press down on the fret doesn't hurt anymore, it's my plucking hand that does

13:12:44 <T3sl4> "The blinds store is curtain death"
13:15:31 <DHess_US> I'm watching to see what powers you get when bitten by a radioactive commie.
13:16:14 <T3sl4> Chernobyl Man?
13:16:36 <DHess_US> Yea, I could see that as a comic.
13:17:02 <T3sl4> "The Liquidators" would make a fine graphic novel
13:17:24 <DHess_US> Hasn't that been used?
13:17:39 <T3sl4> probably
13:17:58 <DHess_US> I'm watching this thinking, "How could anybody be this fucking stupid?"
13:18:04 <DHess_US> But they really were.
13:18:30 <T3sl4> there are physical limits on intelligence, but not on stupidity
13:18:58 <DHess_US> But dummies don't design and build working nuclear power plants.
13:19:15 <DHess_US> Did no operators at the plant understand xenon poisoning?
13:19:47 <T3sl4> positive void coefficient, hardly a genius design
13:20:15 <DHess_US> A negative void coefficient wouldn't have saved it.
13:21:00 <T3sl4> just one parameter among many aspects
13:21:21 <T3sl4> many combinations of which, wouldn't have failed, or so dramatically
13:23:34 <DHess_US> All graphite moderated reactors have a positive void coefficient. That's a given. But xenon poisoning depends on operating conditions. It is like integrator windup.
13:25:16 <DHess_US> http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/NucEne/xenon.html
13:28:10 <T3sl4> yeah
13:29:22 <DHess_US> Any other reactor suffers from the same problem. Run it at high power, SCRAM, and then after the xenon builds up, you cannot restart it even with all of the control rods removed. And if you do remove them all, you are fucked.
13:29:23 <T3sl4> among many possible psychological factors, the one that humans are bad at controlling long time constants is probably important
13:29:47 <DHess_US> Oh, that isn't what I was thinking.
13:30:10 <DHess_US> I was thinking about the psychological experiments showing how easily people submit to authority even when they should know better.
13:30:25 <T3sl4> yes, that's the most important one
13:32:34 <DHess_US> I wonder how close the drama is to what happened.
13:33:52 <DHess_US> The script seems authentic. I haven't read the transcripts and interview in years.
13:41:49 <T3sl4> should be reviews out there
13:50:28 <DHess_US> I was right. "llarion Pavlovich Ramskov was a Russian soldier who was mutated by exposure to the faulty controls at Chernobyl nuclear facility. While being treated in New York, he was labeled Powersurge after escaping and causing danger to civilians with this nuclear radiation. He was encased in a containment suit to maintain his energy levels."
13:55:05 <DHess_US> Huh, the rest of the world calls them "American Pancakes". I didn't know we had a food named after us.
13:56:04 <DHess_US> So not too far off, https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/05/231565/chernobyl-hbo-cast-character-guide-real-people#slide-4
14:13:43 <T3sl4> i'm suddenly very concerned how local food comes into this :S

19:33:08 <T3sl4> e :)
19:33:32 <T3sl4> whoa how did i get here
19:33:37 <T3sl4> i was typing in another tab
19:33:45 <Halcyon> You just love us :)
19:33:55 <Halcyon> Are you cheating on me?
19:34:11 <T3sl4> it's not cheating if you got no game
19:34:17 <T3sl4> fucking owned
19:34:30 <steve30> Halcyon, I went to the gym this morning. Not much eye candy unfortunately.
19:34:39 <Halcyon> So just you then Steve? :P
19:34:42 <steve30> yup
19:34:48 * T3sl4 hugs steve30
19:34:57 <steve30> *purr*
19:34:57 <Halcyon> Still waiting for more of your pics :P
19:35:36 <steve30> which one do you want to see?
19:35:41 <Halcyon> Peen
19:35:55 <Halcyon> Unless T3sl4 has other ideas?
19:36:09 <steve30> Don't you see enough private parts at work?
19:36:19 <Halcyon> Pfft no. Work is work.
19:36:31 <T3sl4> that would be against the law
19:36:36 <Halcyon> Exactly
19:36:43 <T3sl4> since, it takes the full force of the law for Halcyon to not be a fucking pervert
19:36:45 <Halcyon> I'm actually very professional between 0700-1700
19:37:12 <Halcyon> T3sl4, forgive me, Steve has a big penis
19:37:20 <Halcyon> As if you aren't a little curiour
19:37:22 <Halcyon> curious
19:37:42 <T3sl4> you're projecting
19:37:53 <steve30> I don't take photos of my penis.
19:37:57 <Halcyon> I can show you mine if you like?
19:38:00 <steve30> Penis photos are boring.
19:38:12 <Halcyon> Not to me :)
19:38:16 <Halcyon> But surprise me Steve
19:40:36 <steve30> I'm in this one. I actually look cuter in the high quality copy of the photo which I bought.
19:40:38 <steve30> http://stevecoates.net/photos/idahot_paper.jpg
19:46:41 <Halcyon> Dammit Steve
19:47:26 <steve30> I thought you might approve of me advocating for gay rights :)
19:49:40 <K> hello
19:52:06 <steve30> Here's the high quality bit
19:52:06 <steve30> http://stevecoates.net/photos/steve_paper.jpg
20:24:33 * DogWomble waves
20:39:07 <K> yes.
20:47:37 <DogWomble> Maybe
20:48:11 <K> but not today?
21:16:33 * steve30 is sleepy
