00:01:42 <rust_collector> I just do not eat insects and weird things from the sea.
00:05:07 <K> shrimps eeew
00:05:51 <rust_collector> right
00:06:01 <coppice> the weird things from the sea are basically insects
00:09:42 <rust_collector> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_cucumber
00:10:38 <rust_collector> over here we call them sea-sausage
00:11:01 <coppice> sea cucumbers are really weird when you are preparing them to cook
00:11:12 <rust_collector> no, they are not
00:11:49 <K> don't you have anything else ot eat over there?
00:11:54 <rust_collector> they are always weird, but I am not preparing them to be cooked
00:12:43 <coppice> They aren't my favourite thing to eat, but I eat them when they are served to me
00:14:05 <rust_collector> I think jellyfish smoothies would be better than that
00:14:35 <coppice> jellyfish are good to eat, but I'm not sure about making smoothies from them
00:15:40 <coppice> most things we aren't familiar with eating seem weird at first. I guess its part of our self protection mechanisms, limiting the chances of eating something that can fight back
00:16:54 <rust_collector> mmm, yes, maybe
00:17:15 <rust_collector> That, and weird things, like strawberries
00:17:58 <rust_collector> I mean, squishy things, that feel weird when you chew on them
00:20:39 <coppice> that could describe my favourite thing to have in my mouth
00:20:59 <rust_collector> mmhmmmm
02:38:24 <Ampera> Shrimp is delicious
02:38:42 <Ampera> Never had sea cucumber nor jellyfish, but I like most things that come from the sea, save for seaweed
03:02:03 <rust_collector> i have had some sea cucumbers, when we were out fishing. I never even thought about eating them. Shrimp is ok.
03:03:53 <rust_collector> I am going to nuke the install on this computer. We will see what I install later. Have fun, if I just disappear, and never return. it is probably just some config file somewhere I can not figure out, lol

03:41:29 <K> they don't sugarcoat becase the fat ppl will eat the damn coating as well
03:42:00 <DHess_US> If we had labels like that in the US, maybe we would have less obesity.
03:42:09 <DHess_US> Label shaming!
03:42:17 <K> get sued in 1 2 3

07:33:27 <DHess_US> I've played that game.

07:35:53 <DHess_US> Serial number 4.
07:37:20 <T3sl4> isn't that serial number 1? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQIIjl0XUAUoo44.jpg
07:38:10 <DHess_US> Still 4 but you might argue 2 if the thumb does not count.
07:38:52 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/gl3wACI.jpg what now
07:39:56 <DHess_US> I don't know if you track that sort of thing but the whole self built gun thing is just getting more common.
07:40:25 * T3sl4 points finger guns at DHess_US
07:40:43 <DHess_US> So much so that things like this are showing up, https://www.80percentarms.com/products/0-billet-ar-15-lower-receiver/

11:34:45 <steve30> hi ha
11:34:47 <steve30> Halcyon,
11:34:50 <Halcyon> Heya
11:35:08 <Halcyon> I just got up not long ago
11:35:19 <steve30> I'm hopefully going to bed in the near future.
11:35:23 <steve30> I put clean sheets on :)
11:36:06 <steve30> My cold seems worse today than it was yesterday :(
11:36:13 <Halcyon> Oh no
11:36:17 <Halcyon> But yay for clean sheets
11:38:51 <steve30> I've got Roger coming round in the evening for an Indian takeaway, and he's bringing his chinese CNC milling machine to show me :)
11:39:19 <Halcyon> Who is Roger?
11:39:53 <steve30> A bloke who my Mum knows who also happens to be into computers/electronics
11:40:09 <Halcyon> Ah nice
11:40:20 <Halcyon> I wouldn't mind some curry actually
11:40:41 <steve30> I just had some left over paneer packoras as a snack :p
11:41:22 <Halcyon> Num nums
11:43:08 <Halcyon> Haha https://youtu.be/wj2CiL3k4dk?t=27
11:43:50 <steve30> aww

11:44:01 <Halcyon> Heheh
11:44:56 <steve30> I'm up to Series 2 Episode 1 of the IT Crowd. I can now see why you like it :p
11:47:05 <Halcyon> Uhuh :)
11:47:22 <Halcyon> You have to be a nerd to get it
11:48:09 <Halcyon> I think you would also like the series "Vicious"
11:48:12 <Halcyon> That is also on my server
11:48:59 <steve30> What's it about?
11:49:24 <Halcyon> It's about an elderly gay couple
11:50:02 <steve30> cool

11:51:22 <steve30> I'll watch that sometime
11:55:52 <Halcyon> You can tell by my taste in television that I don't like the mainstream crap these days
11:56:02 <Halcyon> Big fan of UK comedy
11:58:32 <steve30> I'm off to bed.
11:58:36 <steve30> Good night
11:59:02 <Halcyon> Night
12:05:29 <Ampera> Halcyon,
12:05:30 <Ampera> how do
12:05:39 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
12:05:41 <Halcyon> Not bad, you?
12:05:45 <Ampera> I had actually forgotten about you :P
12:05:49 <Ampera> fuck today was a pain in the ass
12:05:57 <Halcyon> That's OK, I didn't get up until about an hour ago
12:06:00 <Ampera> they seem to just keep getting worse
12:06:06 <Halcyon> Not in the good way I take it?
12:06:31 <Ampera> yes it keeps getting worse in a good way
12:06:43 <Halcyon> ?
12:06:55 <Ampera> your message appeared before mind
12:06:56 <Ampera> *mine
12:07:11 <Halcyon> Ah

12:07:55 <Ampera> just feel like it

12:08:13 <Halcyon> Back shortly...
12:27:21 <Halcyon> Ampera, are you able to call me on my mobile in about 5 minutes?
12:27:26 <Halcyon> I need to go to the post office/shops
12:27:32 <Ampera> I should be able to.
12:27:36 <Ampera> Five minutes exactly?
12:27:42 <Halcyon> Did you need me to give you the number?
12:27:48 <Halcyon> Yeh 5 ish... Just got to get shoes on
12:27:48 <Ampera> already have it
12:28:14 <Halcyon> Make it like 3-4 mins
12:39:13 <DHess_US> Oh for fuck's sake, https://www.mattelgames.com/en-us/uno-nonpartisan
12:41:03 <T3sl4> haha
12:41:08 <T3sl4> greens tho
12:42:39 <coppice> yeah, but we know the greens are never serious
12:42:48 * DHess_US triggers on Greens!

12:47:07 <T3sl4> and does yellow mean a vote for Andrew Yang?
12:50:35 <DHess_US> This is funny if you know the history, https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1141351019667972096/M41uNNku?format=jpg&name=600x314
12:51:16 <DHess_US> Unlike cobras, marmots do not go after rattlesnakes because they are much faster.
13:30:29 <Halcyon> Bloody Greens
13:30:33 <Halcyon> Absolute nutbags
13:30:43 <Halcyon> It seems almost universally so
13:31:27 <DHess_US> https://img.pr0gramm.com/2019/11/22/db7b830bfa453d5e.png
13:33:35 <Halcyon> Hah, stupid cat
13:35:45 <DHess_US> Why stupid?
13:35:53 <Halcyon> Because cats are stupid?

13:38:34 <DHess_US> Cat vs Dog - Best Support Class
13:49:16 <Halcyon> I hate that cats kill birds
13:49:24 <Halcyon> And possums
13:49:56 <Halcyon> Cats are just selfish assholes
13:50:04 <Halcyon> Where as dogs can do things
13:55:21 <DHess_US> Dude, if cats did not control them, the avian dinosaurs and marsupials would kill you and everybody you love.
13:55:41 <Halcyon> I doubt that
13:56:09 <DHess_US> https://babylonbee.com/news/impeachment-inquiry-canceled-after-5-episodes-due-to-low-ratings
13:56:26 <Halcyon> Oooh there is thunder outside
13:58:22 <DHess_US> Double check. It might be the martians landings. They are tricky like that.
13:58:56 <Halcyon> Could be
13:59:03 <Halcyon> Although it's broad daylight outside
13:59:22 <DHess_US> Daylight won't stop the martian landings according to the historical documents.
13:59:41 <DHess_US> Also, if a giant iPod emerges from the ground, run.
13:59:48 <DHess_US> Obscure?
14:00:36 <Halcyon> Heh
14:01:01 <DHess_US> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sytaAcOUnnE
14:01:25 <Halcyon> Is $600 too much to spend on a computer chair?
14:01:45 <DHess_US> Not if $600 is insignificant to you.
14:01:51 <DHess_US> But I would say so, yes.
14:01:59 <DHess_US> You can get a fine computer chair for much less.
14:02:38 <DHess_US> I have a net back one which is nice.
14:02:42 <Halcyon> Hmmm
14:02:45 <DHess_US> Also nice and inexpensive.
14:03:01 <Halcyon> I currently have Ikea chairs, they are OK, but my other half wants a new one
14:03:03 <DHess_US> Arm coushins fell apart but that is what duct tape is for.
14:03:32 <DHess_US> Oh, significant other faction quest
14:03:50 <Halcyon> Looking at these: https://secretlabchairs.com.au/
14:03:57 <DHess_US> Sure she won't take 20 rat tails or something?
14:04:07 <Ampera> night Halcyon
14:04:13 <Halcyon> Night Ampera
14:04:15 <Halcyon> *He
14:04:32 <Halcyon> He's usually up all night playing games
14:04:47 <DHess_US> So 20 mouse tails?
14:04:55 <Halcyon> *shrug*
14:05:40 <DHess_US> I've just got a cheapo net back adjustable chair from Office Depot.
14:06:33 <DHess_US> Ikea doesn't have nice chairs?
14:06:52 <Halcyon> They do
14:07:06 <Halcyon> I mean I have no issue with them
14:07:23 <Halcyon> But maybe they aren't designed for sitting hours on end?
14:15:54 <DHess_US> Anyway, a mesh back is very nice especially in a warm climate.
14:21:27 <Halcyon> Yeh I agree
14:23:17 <DHess_US> https://i.redd.it/vb215y6gl4041.jpg

18:46:14 <T3sl4> Dave should play ClusterTruck
