02:00:40 <electrohead> o/
02:02:08 * Ampera hugs electrohead
02:02:11 <Ampera> how are you doing fren?
02:02:25 * electrohead hugs Ampera
02:02:49 <electrohead> pretty good, just finished up installing the new antenna, and performing some minor wire/feedline 'management'
02:02:51 <electrohead> lol
02:02:53 <electrohead> you?
02:03:08 <Ampera> just finished complete detailed test for an entire piece of software
02:03:29 <Ampera> just porting the tests to our regression test collection, and stripping out tests too detailed for regression testing
02:04:27 <electrohead> sounds like fun :p
02:04:37 <Ampera> there's worse jobs
02:04:37 Quit: hsn ([email protected]) Quit: ZNC 1.9.x-git-77-47e633b - https://znc.in
02:05:00 <Ampera> it's basically highly scientific ruining of people's dreams
02:05:13 <electrohead> lol
02:05:19 <electrohead> nice way to put it, haha
02:05:30 <Ampera> if someone builds a sand castle, it's my paid job to tell them everything that's wrong with it in the most detailed and descriptive way possible
02:06:05 <electrohead> definitely a QA job :p
02:06:25 <Ampera> and then when they tell me it's fixed, it's my job to then tell them why it's not :P
02:07:54 <electrohead> "it's still not done, get on it"
02:09:32 <Ampera> in fairness, I then have to deal with L2 bugs
02:09:44 <Ampera> it's always creepy that my projects get the least amount of L2's
02:09:49 <electrohead> L2?
02:09:59 <Ampera> it means either nobody is using it (which is good), or it works perfectly fine (which is concerning)
02:10:05 <Ampera> Level 2, it's a customer complaint
02:10:10 <electrohead> ahh, ok
02:10:10 <Ampera> highest priority bug
02:10:19 <Ampera> why it's called Level 2, I have no clue

03:32:42 <rust_collector> i am still on wednesday
03:33:22 * Ampera hugs rust_collector
03:33:26 <Ampera> I'm still in 2018
03:33:31 * Ampera falls asleep
03:33:38 <rust_collector> whoooa!
03:34:14 <rust_collector> Ok, so I am missing all the years between 2000 and 2010. I don't know if that is better or worse, lol
03:34:28 <Ampera> so am I really
03:34:35 <Ampera> but for a different reason probably
03:35:00 <rust_collector> maybe some other reason, yes
03:35:23 <Ampera> I think I'll make potato pancakes at some point
03:35:27 <Ampera> not today
03:35:31 <Ampera> just at some point in the future
03:37:17 <rust_collector> sure. We use "lompe" which is either a pancake or soft flat bread, made out of potato, most are used for hotdogs, but you can use them for all kinds of stuff.
03:37:51 <Ampera> what we do is basically hash brown with a flour binder
03:37:58 <rust_collector> not very much taste, but a little bit, so it goes well with most things

03:38:05 <Ampera> served with smoked salmon
03:38:14 <rust_collector> ok
03:38:24 <rust_collector> that sounds like food
03:39:27 <rust_collector> and here I am, on my 3rd day of cheap noodles
03:39:37 <Ampera> mmm, I do like me a cheap noodle
03:39:49 <rust_collector> I think I have to get something at work today.
03:40:37 <rust_collector> these are "beef" noodles, they do not taste anything like beef. or anything else. maybe except salt
03:40:58 <rust_collector> the salt flavor seems pretty realistic
03:41:34 <rust_collector> but, they are cheap, and even if they don't taste any particular thing, they don't taste bad
03:42:00 <Ampera> I actually nicer cheap noodles from the asia
03:42:55 <rust_collector> these are a local store-brand, made and packaged in china
03:43:25 <Ampera> mine are thai, indonesian, and japanese primarily
03:44:12 <rust_collector> I thought these were thai, but i guess not, this week.
03:46:50 <rust_collector> they probably buy them where they get them cheap, as they would do
03:46:57 <Ampera> mine are MAMA, IndoMie, and Nissin
03:47:14 <Ampera> I also believe I have some Sapporo #1 noodles too
03:47:27 <rust_collector> they have numbers?
03:47:28 <Ampera> oh, I also have a couple packages of no name noodles as well, I've never tried them before
03:47:32 <Ampera> Sapporo Ichiban
03:48:08 <TheDude> test
03:48:11 <TheDude> can you see this?
03:48:14 <rust_collector> nope
03:48:25 <rust_collector> try again
03:48:29 <TheDude> something is screwing around with my network
03:48:45 <TheDude> the connections that are established already seem to work fine
03:48:56 <TheDude> opening a new web page seems problematic
03:49:00 <TheDude> I'm guessing DNS problems
03:49:23 <Ampera> if I could erase any word from the english dictionary "problematic" would be it
03:49:23 <TheDude> especially because the new modem/router turd makes itself the DNS
04:15:26 <rust_collector> good night

07:44:42 <Nothing\> man, i'm having too much fun with this google voice assistant thing on my phone
07:44:59 <Nothing\> me: hey google, thank you
07:45:15 <Nothing\> Google: wow, I heard Canadians were polite.
07:45:32 <Nothing\> me: hey google, how did you know I'm Canadian?
07:45:47 <Nothing\> Google: I don't know. There's just something special aboot you.
07:46:05 <Ampera> ya gonna give it your SSI and CC no too?
07:46:16 <Nothing\> it probably already has those
07:46:24 <Nothing\> actually i know it has my CC
07:46:58 <Nothing\> and here, it's SSN, Social Security Number.
07:47:14 <Ampera> I thought it was an SSI there, because it's an SSN here
07:47:26 <Nothing\> oh
07:47:32 <Nothing\> oh no wait
07:47:37 <Nothing\> it's social insurance number
07:47:38 <Nothing\> that's it
07:47:40 <Ampera> aye
07:47:41 <Ampera> SIN
07:47:44 <Nothing\> yup
07:48:05 <Nothing\> i lost my card years ago and have never had reason to use it since so apparently i forgot what they were even called
07:48:26 <Ampera> if you lose your SSN here, you're not in for a good time
07:48:40 <Nothing\> they don't even issue them here anymore
07:48:54 <Nothing\> they just give you a piece of paper with the number on it if you request a new one
07:48:55 <Ampera> they should fuck off with them here
07:49:28 <Ampera> they're the only form of universal national ID
07:49:46 <Nothing\> here they're just used for employment afaik
07:49:55 <Nothing\> and apparently loans and stuff

09:09:08 * electrohead looks around
09:10:37 <T3sl4> i might be playing too much FTL, but now i'm thinking of one random event which starts with that text
09:13:55 <electrohead> FTL?
09:14:28 <T3sl4> https://ftl.fandom.com/wiki/Huge_Rebel_Shipyard
09:17:12 * Ysjoelfir likes FTL
09:17:27 * T3sl4 scraps Ysjoelfir
09:17:50 <T3sl4> oh Ysjoelfir, i saw this the other day
09:18:09 <T3sl4> sector 7 rebel fleet dive
09:18:40 <T3sl4> https://imgur.com/a/1Jjx2CP
09:20:39 <electrohead> ahh, never heard of this until now
09:20:40 <Ysjoelfir> nice :D
11:06:03 <electrohead> it's dead in here, tonight
11:06:42 <Ysjoelfir> indeed it is
11:06:50 * Ysjoelfir prods T3sl4 to make some noise
11:08:49 * electrohead grabs a beer and watches
11:09:07 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir: êoÅ¡éO4
11:09:47 <Ysjoelfir> yay!
11:09:57 * Ysjoelfir hands T3sl4 a glass of cream cherry
11:10:08 <T3sl4> \o/
11:11:13 <Ysjoelfir> adddwdwadasdwadswdawsdwdddaso T3sl4, what are you doing tonight?
11:11:52 <T3sl4> the same thing we do every night sjoelfiry
11:13:11 <Ysjoelfir> whops. I wondered before why I wasn't moving.... :D I think I found the reason
11:13:31 <T3sl4> y is that?
11:13:47 <Ysjoelfir> because I had this window focused and not the game.
11:13:50 <Ysjoelfir> a great game btw
11:13:54 <Ysjoelfir> I highly suggest it to you
11:13:55 <T3sl4> the best game
11:14:08 <Ysjoelfir> not THE best, but its probably in the higher ranks, yes
11:15:34 <T3sl4> the most dangerous game
11:15:54 <T3sl4> ( https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2009-04-16 )
11:17:21 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^ no, just factorio. its addictive (playing on this map now for 3 days, 18 hours, 54 minutes and ~20 seconds) but not dangerous
11:17:52 <T3sl4> dangerous if you play it for three days without moving and get a stroke and die
11:18:31 <Ysjoelfir> this happened over several months^^
11:18:38 <Ysjoelfir> acquiring the playtime on this map I mean
11:19:04 <coppice> T3sl4: I hope those are electric fly swats, and not tennis rackets. gotta make sure you have the maximum zing
11:19:18 <T3sl4> coppice: indeed
11:19:28 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir: heh, i would hope so
11:20:36 <T3sl4> i'm making reference to (a) case(s) of gamers dying, this being the most famous case probably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY-k_YVkRKs
11:21:42 <coppice> Assume this has some kind of oddly socially distanced audience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqaihfiM-1I :-
11:24:25 * Ysjoelfir shared half dead gamers bread, socially distanced off course
11:24:41 <Ysjoelfir> also, fresh and home made
11:25:15 * T3sl4 dips it in the cream sherry
11:25:27 <T3sl4> wait, cherry
11:25:39 <Ysjoelfir> sherry xD
11:25:51 <Ysjoelfir> I had already some, so writing becomes more difficult
11:25:58 <T3sl4> i had to double check, and then got really suspicious
11:26:01 <T3sl4> :D
11:26:21 <Ysjoelfir> I also alternate it with amaretto
11:26:30 <Ysjoelfir> which probably doesn't help
11:26:44 <T3sl4> amaretto is kind of cherry, there, it works
11:27:25 <coppice> black forest gateau is also cherry based, but its hardly interchangeable with amaretto
11:28:55 <T3sl4> or erm, cherbourd? the stuff in the round bottle
11:35:32 <T3sl4> oh, -bord. raspberry, nevermind
11:35:39 <T3sl4> though quite tasty nonetheless :)
11:40:00 * Ysjoelfir hasn't tasted that before
11:40:08 * Ysjoelfir enjoys cocoa with amaretto instead
11:42:37 <T3sl4> mmm
11:57:00 <rust_collector> OI!
11:57:11 <Ysjoelfir> Öi"
11:57:34 <rust_collector> øøøh
11:57:57 <DogWomble> Wee?
11:58:18 <rust_collector> vlooooh
11:58:35 <DogWomble> ging gang goolio giooilie goolie goolie whatis ging gang goo
11:59:00 <rust_collector> ah! hahaha yes
12:00:50 <MrMobodies> I have got an idea but a crude one.
12:00:56 <MrMobodies> oh window stuck
12:01:16 <MrMobodies> I am thinking of making something
12:01:24 <rust_collector> ok, do it
12:01:55 <MrMobodies> small and portable that involves a speaker and pir
12:02:11 <MrMobodies> you see, when the pir picks up movement it plays a pre recorded sound
12:02:48 <MrMobodies> it will record my coughs
12:03:12 <rust_collector> do you think you move enough?
12:03:15 <MrMobodies> so I place it somewhere in the supermarket... they will go looking for someone who isn't wearing a mask
12:03:24 <rust_collector> oh
12:03:42 <MrMobodies> an idea and a pratical joke for awareness too
12:03:43 <rust_collector> hmm, I like it. go go go
12:04:01 <rust_collector> don't end up in jail much
12:05:40 <T3sl4> keep it oxidized
12:09:38 <MrMobodies> this one looks okay
12:09:40 <MrMobodies> https://www.elprocus.com/voice-recording-and-playback-circuit/
12:10:49 <MrMobodies> oh I see low in Khz
12:11:57 <rust_collector> hmmm?
12:12:21 * electrohead adds a few megahertz
12:13:07 <MrMobodies> 4 to 6.4 KHz I wonder if that is enought
12:14:15 <rust_collector> sampling frequency. I guess you do not need super hifi coughing?
12:15:13 * Halcyon licks Ampera
12:15:15 * rust_collector discover pizza in fridge. sets ovenizer to "yes"
12:15:22 <MrMobodies> just enough for the staff to hear
12:15:26 <Ysjoelfir> XD
12:15:40 * Ysjoelfir hands rust_collector a glass of sherry
12:15:41 <Halcyon> rust_collector: You need a food re-hydrator, much quicker :P
12:16:00 <rust_collector> eh? I don't want wet pizza
12:16:18 <rust_collector> we do have running water up here still
12:16:24 <MrMobodies> I had one today my mum made it
12:16:33 <rust_collector> and sherry, it seems like
12:16:40 <MrMobodies> pineapple ham tomatores
12:16:42 <rust_collector> WOOHOO!
12:16:46 <MrMobodies> I like it cold though
12:17:00 <rust_collector> your mom has a sick sense of humor MrMobodies
12:17:02 <MrMobodies> after it cookes i leave to get stone cold and the cheese is nice and hard
12:17:07 <MrMobodies> oh
12:17:17 <MrMobodies> well she likes it hot I like it cold
12:17:30 <MrMobodies> otherwise the cheeses is too soft and becomes runny
12:17:55 <rust_collector> if you bake it a bit longer, it stops being runny
12:18:05 <MrMobodies> and the tomato juices run as well when hot
12:18:26 <rust_collector> righ
12:18:29 <MrMobodies> well they were getting a bit burn't when they tried that
12:18:34 <rust_collector> yes
12:18:37 <rust_collector> but dry
12:19:27 <rust_collector> well, if you like it cold, that is ok
12:19:33 <rust_collector> saves energy too
12:20:38 <rust_collector> ovenizer says "YES" so I guess it is time
12:21:46 <rust_collector> hmm, I saw klf was doing things again. that is something
12:27:14 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, how about seeing the klf in poland in august?
12:27:44 <rust_collector> ok, you probably hate them
12:27:53 <Ysjoelfir> I have no idea what that even is? :D

12:30:50 <Ysjoelfir> sounds good. :) lets take T3sl4 and the electrohead with us
12:30:56 <rust_collector> heh, that was the K foundation
12:31:11 * T3sl4 coughs
12:31:39 <T3sl4> actually, the vaccine will probably be done distribution by then huh, i might actually have to come up with excuses not to travel by then
12:32:13 <rust_collector> nah, it won't.
12:33:14 <T3sl4> oh. then perhaps i shall lock in my excuse already
12:33:35 <electrohead> 'the electrohead'
12:33:37 <electrohead> :P
12:33:47 <rust_collector> the electrohead hates this stuff, so forget that
12:36:50 <Ysjoelfir> is that so?
12:37:04 <rust_collector> probably
12:37:33 <rust_collector> he only likes the human thumb, and that stuff

13:10:11 * T3sl4 thumbs-downs coppice
13:18:45 <steve30> o/
13:21:51 <T3sl4> mornin steve
13:22:13 <Nothing\> man once again i was screwed by playing through a modern game on the ps3
13:23:01 <Nothing\> apparently they cut/omitted a LOT of extra content from GTA V on the PS3 version cuz I'm seeing all kinds of vehicles, NPCs, even animals I never saw in the PS3 version. Even some new weapons.
13:23:44 <Nothing\> not to mention, with the graphics maxed out at 120fps it looks gorgeous.
13:23:56 <Nothing\> i get 120-150fps
13:24:29 <Nothing\> which begs the question, if you're using a display with say a 60hz refresh rate, what's the point of a 120fps framerate?
13:25:11 <T3sl4> faster refresh for part of the frame
13:25:22 <T3sl4> you get frame tearing, but the torn piece is newer
13:25:57 <Nothing\> especially with something like Vsync on
13:26:21 <T3sl4> vsync limits frame rate
13:26:44 <Nothing\> aye i thought the first thing you said at first as well until i thought about vsync
13:26:53 <Nothing\> i'm not even sure what the refresh rate is on my monitor
13:27:00 <Nothing\> er, tv
13:27:08 <Nothing\> probably not that high if it's just a tv
13:27:35 <T3sl4> back in the day, i had a 85Hz CRT, which was great for that sort of thing
13:28:01 <Nothing\> yeah, CRTs were pretty standard at 60hz weren't they?
13:28:10 <T3sl4> i played quake 2 with cl_maxfps at 90 or 120 i think, somewhere around there there's a quirk in the physics that allows you to jump higher in some circumstances
13:28:43 <T3sl4> well, VGA was based on NTSC at 60Hz, but various SVGA additions went higher
13:29:03 <Nothing\> I remember on this app note I read a year or so ago it gave figures for the update times required for certain resolutions, and once you got into the HD resolutions they times were just a few dozen pS
13:29:06 <T3sl4> think that monitor could do 144Hz even, tho only at like 800x600
13:29:21 <T3sl4> picosiemens?
13:29:35 <Nothing\> that was a damn good app note. TI one about the workings of CRTs from the 80s
13:29:46 <Nothing\> yeah i wasn't sure how the capitalization worked
13:30:02 <Nothing\> btw, you hear trump's twitter account was suspended? permanently.
13:30:10 <Nothing\> and he was banned from facebook
13:30:25 <Nothing\> social media doesn't want anything to do with him anymore
13:30:50 <Nothing\> not so much because of Monday, but more because he keeps saying the same shit and they don't want him inciting more sedition.
13:31:23 <Nothing\> and apparently the death count at the capitol is at least 5 people now
13:31:38 <T3sl4> erm
13:31:49 <T3sl4> more because they don't want to be sued, or more importantly, lose stock value
13:32:13 <Nothing\> a lot of people are really pissed off that there was a military presence at the black lives matter protests last year before the protests even began, where this didn't bring in the national guard until after shit got real.
13:32:38 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah, if there's one thing i've learned it's that everything comes down/back to money
13:33:06 <Nothing\> you follow the rabbit hole long enough, you'll find money behind a lot of decisions and events
13:33:11 <Nothing\> even if just indirectly
13:33:13 <T3sl4> all*
13:33:20 <Nothing\> aye
13:33:22 <T3sl4> oh definitely all, if you're going to add that
13:34:23 <Nothing\> T3sl4, well i was taking into account average people and their lives as well when i said that. I mean, it's a dangerous generalization to say everything everybody does is motivated/affected by money. But now that I think about it, I'm not so sure that's true.
13:34:46 <Nothing\> it's just the other side of the coin where they're being controlled/manipulated through financial means
13:35:09 <T3sl4> in the context of decisions that affect more than a couple people, it more or less works
13:35:26 <T3sl4> so, speaking of national level events, yeah
13:36:02 <Nothing\> frankly i think money is an archaic thing and we should develop an economy which works (somehow) without it. But damned if I know what that is.
13:36:19 <Nothing\> and i don't mean barter
13:36:53 <rust_collector> heh, good luck coming up with a good idea for that
13:37:08 <Nothing\> hey, if Karl Marx can do it, why not me? :P
13:37:16 <rust_collector> could he?
13:37:18 <T3sl4> it makes sense enough when you consider it as a physical manifestation of abstract value
13:37:23 <Nothing\> rust_collector, well i mean
13:37:32 <Nothing\> communism works... in theory
13:37:41 <Nothing\> looks nice on paper
13:37:56 <rust_collector> yes, I think it is a great idea. it is just that it does not really work
13:38:05 <T3sl4> realize that money has no intrinsic value, only in relating everything to everything else
13:38:26 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: Damn, I've just been overtaken by Trump on @OdyseeTeam https://t.co/Y4XrEerdj2
13:38:34 <T3sl4> if there's one thing US propaganda has been eminently successful on, it's convincing us all that we're a bunch of selfish fucks
13:38:44 <Nothing\> rust_collector, you think that's down to the inevitable corruption it'll lead to? Or just because it's inherently flawed?
13:38:45 <T3sl4> easily the best way to defend against communism
13:38:51 <Nothing\> or a combination of the two?
13:39:08 <rust_collector> Nothing\, i think yes, both
13:39:21 <Nothing\> speaking of which, you hear the president of belarus said he's never stepping down
13:39:29 <Nothing\> who is a crooked piece of shit
13:39:36 <T3sl4> communes work on a small scale, alas there are few studies of anything broad enough to call state-level
13:39:44 <Nothing\> he's half the reason the country's in such a sorry state
13:40:04 <rust_collector> well, you don't know what they would be with a different leader
13:40:17 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah but of course in america, the second you say or do anything the least bit socialist, you're automatically evil.
13:40:39 <T3sl4> i just said that
13:40:56 <Nothing\> ah i missed that
13:42:14 <Nothing\> man it's gonna be fun/interesting to see what these guys who breached the capitol get charged with
13:42:32 <T3sl4> yep
13:42:43 <Nothing\> the two main things i've heard being thrown around are either sedition, or conspiracy to commit sedition
13:42:46 * electrohead waves at Nothing\
13:42:55 <rust_collector> I have to admit that I have not bothered looking up what happened.
13:42:58 <Nothing\> which carry a 20 and 10 year max sentence respectively
13:43:02 <rust_collector> which is fine
13:43:03 <Nothing\> hey electrohead
13:43:09 * Nothing\ hugs electrohead <3
13:43:13 <Nothing\> and while i'm at it
13:43:22 * Nothing\ hugs rust_collector and T3sl4, too
13:43:25 <Nothing\> group hug
13:43:28 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\ and electrohead
13:43:34 * T3sl4 also waves at rust_collector
13:43:43 <rust_collector> WHOOOO!!! careful, you will get some communist on you
13:44:02 <Nothing\> hey, Canada's flag IS red
13:44:10 <Nothing\> what do you expect?
13:44:43 <rust_collector> well... i am not going to tell you about that right now. meybe when we are done
13:44:48 * electrohead accepts said group hug
13:45:05 * rust_collector group hugs only electrohead
13:45:32 <electrohead> now it's a party :p
13:45:42 <rust_collector> yeez
13:46:20 <rust_collector> i have my techno stuff in my ears, and group hugs... yep
13:47:28 * rust_collector group waves to T3sl4
13:47:38 * T3sl4 flusters
13:48:00 * electrohead waits for the group sechs
13:48:28 <T3sl4> comrades! https://i.imgur.com/xtSGsxj.jpg
13:49:04 <rust_collector> i wonder if I will look like stalin when I grow up
13:49:56 <rust_collector> I mean, i would have to buy hair, but
14:02:17 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/j2ghndM.jpg
14:02:50 <rust_collector> yes, that is a thing
14:04:42 * electrohead is in possession of a new/old webTV
14:06:12 <T3sl4> i'm sorry to hear that
14:07:07 <Nothing\> welp, good news
14:07:41 <electrohead> https://i.imgur.com/IJ55O46.jpg
14:08:01 <Nothing\> in light of this being the most stressful week I've had since my sentencing hearing last year, I think I've managed to get over this pot/shatter smoking thing
14:08:14 <steve30> Can you browse the WWW on it?
14:08:32 <Nothing\> i just threw away all of the shatter i have downstairs, but I found out my brother's cat is dying so i'm saving the rest of what I have for him.
14:08:33 <rust_collector> awesome. try to keep it that way
14:08:39 <Nothing\> rust_collector, that's the plan
14:09:07 <Nothing\> despite constant anxiety attacks and stress, that's the one thing I've held strong about.
14:09:36 <Nothing\> not to mention rumination, but pot just tends to make that worse
14:09:42 <Nothing\> and a lot less rational
14:09:47 <electrohead> steve30: that's part of the plan :D
14:09:52 <rust_collector> well, you know you will probably keep having those.... you just have to figure out a reasonable way to deal with it
14:10:00 <electrohead> enhanox made me do this >.<
14:10:02 <electrohead> lol
14:10:18 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i'm giving genuine consideration to checking into a mental health facility
14:10:21 <rust_collector> electrohead, where is the tv bit of it?
14:11:02 <rust_collector> Nothing\, well, I am not a specialist in that stuff, but do what you can
14:11:22 <rust_collector> i am pretty sure it is going to suck, lol.
14:11:36 <rust_collector> but good luck with it anyway
14:11:44 <Nothing\> it's not so much i'm worried about myself or others but I've gotta do something other than how i used to cope 20 years ago.
14:11:49 <electrohead> I have plenty of monitors and screens with RCA inputs
14:11:51 <Nothing\> thanks man, i appreciate it
14:12:02 <Nothing\> and yeah it won't be easy, but it'll be worth it in the long run.
14:12:30 <electrohead> Nothing\: so you're getting off the marijuana?
14:12:52 <Nothing\> electrohead, yup, it's been a week now.
14:12:58 <electrohead> \o/
14:13:03 <Nothing\> i mean i don't wanna say i've quit for sure. There's always a risk of a relapse
14:13:14 <Nothing\> but each day it becomes more and more likely it's gonna stick.
14:13:20 <rust_collector> send the rest over here
14:13:40 <Nothing\> nah i'm giving it to me brother cuz his cat's dying :(
14:13:48 <Nothing\> slowly and painfully
14:13:54 <Nothing\> old age
14:14:12 <rust_collector> well, that is probably no fun, but I doubt he can train his cat to smoke
14:14:27 <Nothing\> he stopped eating, stopped going to the bathroom, won't play or do anything but sit on the bed next to my brother.
14:14:39 <Nothing\> and he's 17
14:14:46 <Nothing\> so it seems his time's come
14:14:51 <rust_collector> probably
14:14:57 <Nothing\> i just hope it's quick
14:15:13 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
14:15:19 * Ampera hugs electrohead
14:15:22 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
14:15:23 * Ampera gives rust_collector a tuna
14:15:26 <Nothing\> hey buddy
14:15:32 <Ampera> hi Nothing\, how are you doing
14:15:40 <Nothing\> as well as ever
14:15:45 <Nothing\> ie, not very
14:15:50 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ again
14:15:53 <Ampera> stop doing that
14:15:54 <Ampera> >:(
14:15:56 <Ampera> be, better
14:16:03 * rust_collector shakes "a tuna"
14:16:03 <Ampera> or else
14:16:07 <Nothing\> i try but shit keeps coming up
14:16:24 <Ampera> sounds like you need a check valve in your plumbing
14:16:27 <Nothing\> and what makes this thing with my brother's cat harder is i owned him for several years
14:16:29 <Ampera> shit should not be coming up
14:16:40 <Nothing\> so we developed a close relationship
14:16:46 <Ampera> oh, I should read the backlog on that one
14:16:54 <Nothing\> it's okay
14:17:09 <Nothing\> i'd have done the same
14:17:27 <Ampera> you see, I don't know how to read
14:17:31 <Ampera> so that's my excuse
14:17:40 <Nothing\> same
14:18:21 <Ampera> I'm going to get passports tomorrow
14:18:28 <Nothing\> i've just been faking it this whole time, writing jibberish on irc that happens to be exactly the right thing to say
14:18:38 <Nothing\> right on
14:18:42 <rust_collector> cut and paste is great

14:26:18 <electrohead> I'm doing
14:26:36 <Ampera> electrohead, then stop doing that
14:26:36 <Nothing\> every time i try to play a game, i'm nodding off by the time the splash screens are done and the main menu comes up
14:26:45 <electrohead> :p
14:27:01 <Ampera> Nothing\, please give me your somnia, I'm not having an easy time sleeping
14:27:10 <Ampera> obviously, it being about four hours past my bed time
14:27:22 <rust_collector> heh
14:27:31 <rust_collector> you can have some of mine
14:27:42 <rust_collector> I am still on wednesday
14:28:16 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah i've only been sleping a few hours at a time, too
14:28:56 <Ampera> rust_collector, you said that yesterday, impressive

14:39:13 <Ampera> if it does, it's because I programmed it to
14:39:14 Nick: DaveJones is now known as steve30
14:39:26 <T3sl4> hi Ampera
14:39:26 <Nothing\> T3sl4, kudos to you for protecting names similarto yours
14:39:36 <Nothing\> that's some pretty forward thinking
14:39:51 * T3sl4 confuse
14:40:03 <Nothing\> oh wait
14:40:04 <Nothing\> dur
14:40:16 <Nothing\> i think the l in your name was a 1
14:40:31 Nick: Nothing\ is now known as T3s14
14:40:45 <T3s14> see i was trying to do this, but with an L instead of a 1
14:40:49 <T3s14> cuz i thought you were using a 1
14:40:54 Nick: T3s14 is now known as Nothing\
14:41:33 <Nothing\> somebody could easily pose as you like thta if they wanted to
14:41:58 <Nothing\> speaking of which, i really should register my name
14:42:37 Nick: steve30 is now known as N0thing\
14:42:49 <N0thing\> o/
14:42:56 <Nothing\> lol
14:43:09 <T3sl4> bahaha
14:43:13 <T3sl4> so i'm playing FTL again
14:43:22 <T3sl4> doing a teleporter run
14:43:32 * N0thing\ foods
14:43:35 <T3sl4> just defeated a ship and got the zoltan shield bypass item
14:43:40 <T3sl4> very next jump, zoltan ship
14:43:42 <T3sl4> \o/
14:43:49 <Nothing\> lol that's how it usually goes
14:44:01 <Nothing\> i mean with roguelikes in general, not just FTL
14:44:41 <Nothing\> although i wouldn't really call FTL a roguelike. Even though that's what it's being marketed as.
14:45:11 <Nothing\> what was the word i read for those kind of games, it was like faux-like or something
14:45:57 <Nothing\> so like, do i have to use a real email address when registering my name?
14:46:30 <Nothing\> actually, i'll use my real email address that looks fake but is the only one that contains no identifying information about me in the address
14:46:57 <Nothing\> lol
14:48:14 <Nothing\> actually it shoulda been 6433832
14:48:27 <Nothing\> i mistyped and put a 5 in place of the 4
14:54:55 <Nothing\> there, finally registered
14:55:52 <Nothing\> excetp i realized i used the wrong number for the password, but oh well
14:56:23 <Nothing\> i'll just have to make some mental connection to it
14:59:15 <Nothing\> now for the only supper i can stomach; a single piece of white bread with the crust removed a tiny bit of margarine on it
14:59:41 <Nothing\> btw, was that the correct use of a semi-colon? i've always been fuzzy about those things
15:00:19 <rust_collector> I have never figured out why they exist, except to end a line in some languages
15:00:29 <T3sl4> that should be a :
15:00:44 <T3sl4> ; is closer to . but when the sentences are closely related
15:01:00 <T3sl4> also in lists, when items in the list have commas already
15:02:44 <rust_collector> so, a comma-comma
15:12:21 Nick: N0thing\ is now known as steve30

15:35:32 <Nothing\> so this guy 2 doors down from me has a sign saying something about getting rid of mandatory use of face masks
15:36:16 <Nothing\> i've already decided that i'm going to steal the sign, but i'm just trying to figure out where to put it that he won't get it back and how
15:36:38 <Nothing\> actually i'm pretty sure it's just a metal frame with a piece of plastic over it
15:36:48 <DonaldJTrump> Hi im new to the internet. Whats happening?
15:36:55 <Nothing\> maybe i could just slip the plastic off and shove it into my pocket
15:37:02 <Nothing\> then dump it in a public rubbish bin
15:37:40 <rust_collector> hang it on your wall. it will remind you of the good old days
15:37:46 <Nothing\> DonaldJTrump, didn't you hear, you've been banned from the internet
15:38:18 <Nothing\> and i think because i've talked to that neighbour before and he knows my coat, i'll wear a different one
15:38:21 <DonaldJTrump> Thats not me must be someone else.

16:28:59 <Nothing\> it seems it's youtube's doing, cuz the videos themselves allow you to write comments, but the "post" button or whatever is greyed out. Instead of it just outright saying "comments are banned for this video"
