00:09 <Nothing\> i don't expect anyone to be convinced or to believe in god because of what i'm saying. But if they do, hey that's terrific!
00:57 <Nothing\> but yeah i don't like to preach for just that reason. My journey was far too subjective for anyone else to be moved or convinced by it. It would be like trying to make somebody feel a dream you had was just as important as you feel it was.
02:32 <Sigyn> Yes the thinking popular in many megachurches that God will make your life perfect is totally at odds with the experience of early Christians.
04:19 <Nothing\> EXACTLY!
04:30 <Nothing\> they were persecuted almost as badly as the jews are now
04:45 <Nothing\> look at the siege of jerusalem in 70ce
04:55 <Nothing\> and the siege of the temple
05:28 <Sigyn> Well that was a bigger deal for the jews at the time but yeah.
12:26 <Nothing\> bah my teeth suck
12:59 <Nothing\> i only have one pair of pre-molars for chewing on either side so i'm constantly chewing stuff with my gums
13:05 <Nothing\> they're getting awfully tender
13:38 <Nothing\> cuz i lost a crown on my chewing side. Not that i have enough teeth for chewing on that side either anymore
13:57 <Nothing\> but at least i've had more root canals so there's no sensitivity pain on that side
14:20 <Nothing\> but i'd rather chew stuff with my gums than with the insides of my tooth
14:29 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
14:33 <Ampera> how are you doing
14:36 <Ampera> haven't seen you for a while
14:40 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera 
15:05 <Nothing\> i'm doing good, just enjoying a surprisingly hearty bowl of cream of lieutenant broccoli soup
15:41 <Ampera> what
15:52 <Nothing\> it's a star trek reference lol
16:57 <Ampera> ok
17:00 <Nothing\> Ampera, man i'm looking at the achievements for this game you got me
17:06 <Ampera> but his name was barclay
17:15 <Ampera> you mentioned
17:17 <Nothing\> yup you know what i'm talking about :D
17:23 <Ampera> I have no idea
17:34 <Nothing\> yeah, for some reason there are only like 50% people who completed the first dungeon
17:44 <Nothing\> which doesn't even take 30 minutes
18:06 <Nothing\> oh yeah interesting fact about this game Ampera
18:12 <Nothing\> it actually taught me to read
18:38 <Ampera> I don't believe you
18:41 <Ampera> I don't think you're capable of reading
18:44 <Ampera> you're just pulling my leg
19:16 <Nothing\> i got it for xmas with a super nintendo in 1991 and being 6, i couldn't read too well but since it was a JRPG i had to read to be able to know what to do or where to go or even what items i was using so i eventually taught myself to read playing final fantasy lol
19:24 <Nothing\> Ampera, you're right actually
19:36 <Nothing\> i'm completely illiterate, can't read or write

42:07 <Nothing\> Ampera, the human race doesn't deserve literacy
42:15 <Nothing\> it will literally lead to its downfall
42:21 <Nothing\> albeit indirectly
42:39 <Ampera> who said you were human
42:42 <Ampera> you're a canadian
42:51 <Nothing\> through nukes or bioweapons or some other weapon that kills indiscernibly and on a massive level
42:57 <Nothing\> lol
43:16 <Nothing\> yeha we're like neanderthals, a completely seperate species of hominid
43:46 <Nothing\> lol it's funny when i open the window a crack how my cats all crowd around the crack like they're desperately trying to get air
44:25 <Nothing\> they're gonna be really sad come this winter
45:10 <Nothing\> i mean, they already lived through a winter last year, but they probably either don't remember, or figure this is what the weather's gonna be like from now on
45:19 <Ampera> I am excited for winter
45:23 <Ampera> I love it when it's cold
45:38 <Nothing\> i hate the cold, but i'm a sucker for winter scenery
45:45 <rust_collector> hooiooooioioio
45:50 <Nothing\> and white christmases, of course
45:53 <Ampera> the snow can fuck off
45:56 <Ampera> the cold can stay
46:06 <Nothing\> snow can stay until the new year
46:11 <Nothing\> but yeah snow sucks
46:18 <Ampera> speaking of snow, there's the abominable snowman
46:20 <Ampera> how are you doing rust_collector
46:30 <rust_collector> meh
46:34 <rust_collector> lol
46:35 <Nothing\> people who've never seen it before, i tell them walking through snow is like walking through sand that turns into ice water when it gets in your shoes
46:37 <Ampera> good
46:42 <Ampera> don't want to be too happy
46:48 <rust_collector> right
46:49 <Ampera> then you might accidentally start thinking the world is a nice place
46:55 <Nothing\> and holy shit is it ever a workout to walk through a field with waist deep snow
46:55 <Ampera> and we wouldn't want that
46:58 <Nothing\> ever do that?
47:04 <Ampera> yes
47:09 <Ampera> walking through snow is one thing
47:15 <Ampera> just get a big stick, and good boots
47:17 <Nothing\> and then you start sweating through your winter clothing
47:23 <Nothing\> which makes you even more cold
47:25 <rust_collector> oh, but snow is great.
47:31 <Ampera> shoveling 2-3ft of snow from around your car is the great part
47:40 <Nothing\> rust_collector, it's great to look at and for the first week or two it's around
47:45 <Nothing\> after that, it can suck a dick
47:46 <Nothing\> lol
47:50 <Ampera> the one cool thing about shoveling is when I shovel, I get heated up enough from work that I can take off my winter jacket
47:53 <Ampera> even in very cold weather
48:04 <Ampera> so I'm just out there in a simple shirt
48:12 <rust_collector> as long as it is just around, and you don't get new snow every day
48:19 <Nothing\> i'm actually grateful for climate change because since it's been happening we've been having much milder winters
48:33 <Nothing\> it used to be we'd have snow that stayed on the ground by early november
48:45 <Nothing\> now the last few years that hasn't happened until january
49:15 <Nothing\> a few years when i was a kid i even remember getting snow in october
49:37 <Nothing\> but i never remember as a kid getting snow in january or having a green christmas
50:23 <Nothing\> quite the contrary, i remember after my parents cleared snow from the driveway, my brother and i would dig tunnels through the mounds and make snow forts/houses
51:02 <Nothing\> and when i lived further north, we'd have snow squalls that'd dump so much snow, we'd get drifts at the side of the road the size of houses
51:21 <Nothing\> the one year we got 4 feet literally over night
51:51 <Nothing\> they had to call in the national guard to airlift everybody off of the highways because the snow plows got stuck
52:21 <Nothing\> lol the truckers didn't wanna leave cuz they were all cozy in their cabin with their TV and movies and food etc
52:29 <Nothing\> but it was mandatory apparently
58:54 <Nothing\> that's what i should do
59:04 <Nothing\> i should make a circuit that's like a 32 bit shift register, right
59:23 <Nothing\> and for the input, have a capacitive touch activated switch
59:40 <Nothing\> and get my cat to touch the switch and chase the lights
15:21 <rust_collector> what if your cat is not a capacitor?
27:53 <Nothing\> then god help us all
28:39 <Nothing\> man this is awesome
28:44 <rust_collector> well, unless he is busy playing a game or something
28:58 <Nothing\> the dispensary i go to has a special for $1 joints, though only 1 per customer per day
29:11 <Nothing\> but i've just been going in every day and picking one up for the last week
29:32 <Nothing\> they said they've been doing it for 2 months at least, so i'm just gonna keep stocking up for a rainy day
29:54 <Nothing\> rust_collector, wait, do what now?
30:35 <rust_collector> hmm? I am not doing anyone
30:42 <rust_collector> anything
31:34 <Nothing\> rust_collector, you're making me think of this game called "while: True learn()"
31:42 <Nothing\> minus the quotation marks
32:03 <Nothing\> but in short it's about a guy writing AI code who gets help from his cat
32:06 <rust_collector> does god play that?
33:04 <Nothing\> probably
33:19 <Nothing\> man i feel like sarah goldfarb
33:47 <Nothing\> smoking cannabis extract till i get too groggy to function, then drinking iced cappucinos until i'm awake again so i can smoke more
33:49 <Nothing\> etc
33:55 <rust_collector> oh. well, then he won't help us... you just have to hope your cat is capacitive
34:19 <Nothing\> you mean CATpacitive
35:23 <K> is the cat conductive?
35:31 <K> low leakage?
37:03 <rust_collector> I guess someone has "esd safe" tattooed on his cat
41:41 <Nothing\> HEY
41:44 <Nothing\> there's an idea
41:51 <Nothing\> i need to put a bleed resistor on my cat
41:58 <Nothing\> make it more ESD safe
42:32 <Nothing\> i guess there are only 2 biaxial female terminals on a cat, huh
42:52 <Nothing\> so there's no mystery where the pins go
43:15 <rust_collector> meh, just coat it in carbon dust
43:25 <Nothing\> oh actually
43:35 <Nothing\> that reminds me of a serious question i was gonna ask
43:41 <Nothing\> or a 1.5 part question
44:22 <Nothing\> 1. what would be best for lubricating door hinges cuz wd-40 just leaves a black gloopy mess behind, and .5 would graphite work?
45:12 <Nothing\> i'm thinking if graphite powder works good on the pins and tumbler of a lock, why not just the hinge of the door?
45:37 <Nothing\> it's the same basic mechanism at play, minus the pins. But it might as well just be a blank tumbler
45:46 <rust_collector> I use lock oil, with teflon, on almost everything other than locks
46:23 <rust_collector> mostly because it is in a handy little bottle
46:25 <Nothing\> heh so that's like, you're golden standard go-to solution for lubrication issues, huh?
46:58 <rust_collector> no, but I only lube door hinges every 10th year maybe
47:23 <rust_collector> it seems to work well
47:34 <Nothing\> yeah the doors here are getting creaky on account of the wood starting to warp from the weather getting colder
47:43 <Nothing\> damn
48:03 <Nothing\> in my one house i used to have to lubricate the doors maybe twice a year using wd-40
48:11 <Nothing\> but like i said, that stuff's crap
48:18 <Nothing\> leaves a terrible mess behind
48:34 <rust_collector> yeah. no, it is good stuff. it is just not meant to be used for that
48:46 <Nothing\> i even tried using vaseline with some success
48:59 <rust_collector> axle grease will work
49:21 <rust_collector> pretty much anything will work. try butter
49:33 <rust_collector> you might get stale hinges, but...
49:38 <Nothing\> heh
49:44 <Nothing\> interesting factoid about butter
49:49 <Nothing\> that's where the name butane comes from
50:15 <Nothing\> because butter would go rancid, producing butyric acid
50:58 <rust_collector> butane comes from dead peoples butter?
51:25 <Nothing\> i forget where the meth-, eth-, and prop- prefixes come from though
51:50 <Nothing\> i used to know cuz i was confused about why they didn't follow the trend that the other prefixes for 5 carbons and up followed
52:09 Quit: Sigyn ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
52:48 <Nothing\> ie pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl etc
54:04 <Nothing\> okay i should make this damn shift register today or i'm gonna be really disappointed in myself
54:12 <Nothing\> i just tried and wound up falling asleep on it
58:14 <rust_collector> how do you make a shift register?
00:26 <Nothing\> usually it's just a bunch of flip flops strung together so the output from one goes into the input of the next one
00:33 <Nothing\> and so on
00:42 <Ampera> by being shifty
00:46 <Ampera> then you get put on a register
00:49 <Nothing\> and if you want you can loop the last one back to the first one
02:24 <Nothing\> or you can tap the register at specific points with xor gates and they'll generate a series of every single binary number it can display, cycling through different depending where you put the taps, how many you put in, how big your shift register is etc
02:26 <rust_collector> so, you use flipflop ics?
02:40 <Nothing\> and somehow that's used in cryptography to generate random numbers
02:46 <Nothing\> don't ask me how
02:57 <Nothing\> rust_collector, you can, that's what i'm using
03:11 <Nothing\> 74hc74 dual D flip flops
03:12 <rust_collector> yes, that is what I was asking about, lol.
03:17 <rust_collector> ok
03:34 <Nothing\> or you can buy ready made shift registers as an IC
03:47 <rust_collector> I think a shift register was the second kind of ic I ever bought
04:22 <Nothing\> like the 74hc595 which is an 8 bit shift register with a separate set of latch registers and tri-state outputs
04:37 <Nothing\> rust_collector, second one i ever bought was a 4017
04:43 <Nothing\> first one of course was a 555
04:52 <rust_collector> yes
05:10 <Nothing\> then the natural progression was to use a 4017 to make an LED chaser
06:02 <Nothing\> which, actually the 4017 works pretty close to how a shift register works now that i think about it
07:23 <Nothing\> heh before i figured out where to buy ICs I would just try to recreate them with BJTs
07:47 <Nothing\> so i'd have some unholy monstrosity of a rat's nest just to add 2 bits
08:35 <Nothing\> i dunno how people did it back in the day before ICs and you had to make all of that stuff from tube
09:54 <Nothing\> actually the 74hc595's real useful because you can apparently use it to expand the IO pins on MCUs
12:39 <Nothing\> rust_collector, has du etwas kartoffel fur mich katzen? mein nippels brenen mit gluck
13:23 <Nothing\> my german lessons are coming along nicely
16:27 <rust_collector> sorry, I don't have somewhat potato for you cats
16:52 <Nothing\> :(
16:56 <Nothing\> nobody does
17:27 <rust_collector> mich is me, is a thing I can say
17:43 <Nothing\> yeah i have trouble with my "ich" sounds
18:10 <Nothing\> they come out more like "ick" than that throat clearing noise they use for "ich" in german
18:20 <rust_collector> that is not uncommon, I think, but you should still be able to type the correct word, even if you make the wrong sound?
18:38 <Nothing\> oh yeah
18:39 <Nothing\> for sure
19:01 <rust_collector> Not that I will pretend to know much german
19:06 <Nothing\> i think it's down to how it's human nature to be sort of "lazy" when it comes to pronunciation
19:38 <Nothing\> like we have a tendency to shorten syllables or soften them to make a word take less effort to say
20:00 <Nothing\> i watched an interesting video about how a schwa is one of the most common sounds in english because of this
20:11 <Nothing\> schwas are just easier to say than other vowels
21:10 <Nothing\> in fact in the chart of vowels they had rated from easiest to hardest to pronounce and schwa was right near the top
21:33 <Nothing\> so it's one of the easiest, it's basically like a soft e sound
22:11 <rust_collector> that depends on what you are used to, I would think. if you are from some village out in nowhere, where you use clicking sounds, it might not be that easy
27:09 <rust_collector> ha ha haaa. dinner is ready

14:56 <Nothing\> mind you you can use other combinations of flip flops though
15:17 <Nothing\> like in the 595 they use SR registers instead of JK

40:51 * T3sl4 SCREAMS IN AMPERA'S EAR

48:42 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
05:25 * Ampera hugs Ysjoelfir 
05:40 <Ampera> good morning ysguy
05:54 <Ysjoelfir> morning my current love
06:28 <Ysjoelfir> I just got a call from the mechanic who is working on the volvo right now. he finished, yay :D I get back the car tomorrow.
06:44 <Ampera> I need to get a car
07:10 <Ampera> In theory I could get one whenever I want, but the main problem is the international automotive shortage
07:17 <Ampera> so it's rather hard to do that
07:37 <jaymax> Are SmartCars in limited supply too?
07:55 <Ampera> Probably not, but I'm not stupid enough to buy a smart car.
08:02 <jaymax> LOL
08:58 <jaymax> Find and F-150 abandoned in a field or ravine.
20:17 <Ampera> Are you kidding? Vintage F-150's are stupid expensive
20:58 <jaymax> Abandoned don't necessarily mean vintage, nor purchased.
21:46 <Ampera> Stealing is immoral, like drinking or smoking.
22:21 <jaymax> How do you steal something that was illegally dumped in the first place?
22:34 <Ampera> The same way you murder a prisoner.
22:46 <Ampera> For fun.
26:13 <jaymax> Then I don't know how large garbage *ever* gets removed, nor how to help your situation.
32:17 <Ampera> million bucks would work
32:42 <jaymax> I don't even have a million box.
33:32 <jaymax> If I did, I'd have extracted the singles out of every compartment.
33:34 <Ampera> do you have a million cocks?
33:43 <Ampera> that wouldn't help me with a car, but it would be nice to have
34:10 <jaymax> Gweneth Paltrow does.

25:02 <steve30> Cats don't strike me as the kind of things that ought to be socially distanced.
25:46 <T3sl4> do they breathe?
26:00 <steve30> but yay furry things :)
26:34 <Ampera> needs more cats
26:38 * Ampera puts steve30 on the bed
26:53 * T3sl4 shoves a dozen cats inside Ampera
27:13 <Ampera> no you're supposed to put things inside a pussy, not a pussy inside things
27:18 <Ampera> you have this the wrong way around
27:28 <T3sl4> you're the wrong way around
27:46 * Ampera turns 540 degrees
30:46 <Ampera> speaking of degrees, there's only 45 of them outside
34:16 <T3sl4> 45 littlecircles?
34:20 <T3sl4> 45 stiffnipples?
38:26 <K> sniffles
40:24 <T3sl4> stiffies
50:45 <K> one stiffle is enough
52:15 <steve30> The severed floating dave head looks creepy
52:21 <steve30> but i still like it for novelty value

02:51 <Halcyon> Hello handsomes
09:15 <steve30> hi Halcyon
09:36 <steve30> I thought about you when I was taking about eBay this morning
10:51 <Halcyon> Oh?
11:46 * Ampera hugs Halcyon 
12:17 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera :)
12:18 <steve30> I was on about eBay listings titles "VHS TAPE"
12:29 <Halcyon> Did you find anything good?
14:59 <steve30> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194302007523?hash=item2d3d4d58e3:g:JHMAAOSwUxNhIL5e
15:01 <EEVBot> [Title] - VHS TAPE GAY INTEREST PRICE FOR ONE TAPE | eBay
15:11 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
15:29 <Halcyon> Tired, just finished work
15:36 <Halcyon> Having some relaxation before bed
16:21 <Halcyon> 10 pounds for crap quality porn?
16:22 <steve30> bed sounds nice
16:23 <Halcyon> Meh
16:50 * steve30 is watching floating severed dave-head
17:09 <Ampera> interesting
17:29 <Ampera> US passport holders have 90 day visa free access to Serbia, but Serbians don't have visa free access to the US at all
17:54 <Halcyon> Why would you want to go to Serbia?
18:09 <Ampera> Did I say I did?
18:25 <Halcyon> I don't mean you specifically, generally speaking
18:36 <Ampera> Why would one want to go anywhere.
18:48 <Halcyon> *shrug*
18:51 <Ampera> Serbia is just on the edge of too authoritarian for me to want to visit
19:10 <Halcyon> Yeh just a bit
19:21 <Ampera> I would be interested in it, but they've only a bit less than Belarus, and they have a reputation for being massive massive racists
19:28 <Ampera> sorta like Australia
19:28 * steve30 snuggles up in Halcyon's duvet
19:46 <Halcyon> Australia is one of the least racist countries
20:15 <Halcyon> Steve: The station I'm working from this week has a black station cat
20:18 <Halcyon> Black cats matter
20:19 <Ampera> Says a person who believe asians as a race lack the mental faculties to operate a motor vehicle safely
20:24 <Ampera> >:D
20:42 <Halcyon> Way to take my words way out of context
20:43 <Ampera> never gonna let you live that one down btw
20:46 <Halcyon> This is how fake news starts
20:49 <Ampera> I didn't, but go on.
20:53 <Halcyon> Well you did
20:55 <Ampera> you're just mad that you said what you said
20:55 <steve30> A police-cat eh?
21:09 <Halcyon> You even copied and pasted a log and it wasn't what you claimed it to be
21:12 <Halcyon> So *shrug*
21:14 <Ampera> no I didn't
21:26 <Halcyon> Yeh apparently Steve, it even has its own bowl and climbing thingy
21:30 <Ampera> The log was as it was written, and there was no context of significance which made it better.
21:33 <Halcyon> So I guess they decided to keep it?
22:05 <Halcyon> I stand by what I wrote and the context I wrote it in. I don't however support what you just wrote, because it was mis-quoted and incorrect.
22:17 <Ampera> So you are a racist
22:18 <steve30> Are kitties good at fighting crime? I guess the claws could come in handy.
22:21 <Halcyon> Nope
22:24 <Halcyon> See how that works?
22:25 <Ampera> I hear you're a racist now father.
22:42 <Halcyon> Steve maybe they keep it around for chasing mice and spiders?
23:02 <K> so i hear you are a racist now, father Halcyon
23:07 <Ampera> hahahaha
23:13 <Halcyon> Apparently K, however this is news to me
23:22 <Ampera> It's not the greeks he's after, it's the Chinese!
23:50 <Halcyon> The issues I have with China are not down to the general population, it's to do with their government and how they carry on
24:16 <Halcyon> I do however enjoy their cuisine very much
24:18 <steve30> Well, police often employ police dogs, but I guess that's speciesist, so maybe they should now employ police cats to promote diversity and inclusion.
24:31 <Halcyon> Hahaha good idea Steve :P
24:42 <Ampera> You never said the Chinese, you said Asians.
24:47 <Halcyon> But we have both Black and Blonde labradors.
24:51 <Halcyon> All labs matter
25:01 <Halcyon> No, you said the Chinese
25:05 <Halcyon> I was just responding
25:47 <Ampera> So you hate the Chinese and the Asians?
25:51 <Ampera> That's just sick.
25:56 <Halcyon> Again, news to me
26:14 <Ampera> I forgot is not a legal defense.
26:23 <Halcyon> Never said it was?
26:34 <Ampera> I never said you said that it was.
26:43 <Halcyon> I guess all my multicultural friends would disagree, but hey, what would they/I know?
27:11 <Ampera> You can be racist towards people you consider friends.
27:22 <Halcyon> Sure, you can... but I'm not
27:33 <Ampera> I don't know if you are, as I don't know if you have Asian friends
27:53 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/846178000722853898/892523945591443456/20210928_172146.jpg
27:55 <Ampera> Halcyon,
27:58 <Halcyon> I'd told you I'm not and I do have friends from various parts of Asia
28:26 <Halcyon> That's racist Ampera
28:35 <Halcyon> White meat
28:39 <Ampera> Do you believe that Asians are, in general, born and grow without the mental capacity to safely operate a motor vehicle on the road
28:42 <Ampera> no it's not, it's dark meat
29:29 <Halcyon> Well, you're not the only one who can make up bullshit here :P
29:34 <Halcyon> Let me have a go sometimes
29:45 <Ampera> answer the question though
29:47 <Ampera> I am curious
29:57 <Halcyon> Everyone is born without the mental capacity to operate a motor vehicle. It has nothing to do with race.
30:11 <Halcyon> How you are taught and under what rules matters
30:12 <Ampera> "born and grow"
30:47 <Halcyon> I'm sure if you stuck me in a country that has icy/snow roads, I'd be awful too
30:57 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Rigol oscilloscope spotting! Name the movie for 10 Internet points. https://t.co/f0Uorfjf7J
31:10 <Halcyon> As I wasn't taught to drive in snow, I've had to learn from the very limited times I've actually driven in snow
31:15 <Ampera> as in, are asians, as a geographic concept, without the mental sophistication to drive motor vehicles
31:20 <Ampera> y/n
31:47 <Halcyon> No, it's an individual thing. People from all over the world lack the aptitude to be good drivers, regardless of education
31:48 <Ampera> most of the same rules for driving in the rain apply
32:03 <Ampera> don't go fast, breaking distances are greater, avoid bad road conditions
32:12 <Halcyon> Yeh pretty much
32:21 <Ampera> it gets fun when you have black ice
32:26 <Halcyon> No, no it's not
32:31 <Ampera> the secret to driving on black ice is to not drive on black ice
32:43 <Halcyon> Yeh well done
34:05 Quit: K ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds

34:20 <Ampera> have you people never seen chicken thighs before?
34:39 <steve30> ah, i thought it looked a bit like chicken
34:57 <Halcyon> He said he was going to smoke chicken
35:03 <Halcyon> You may have missed it
35:35 <Ampera> I used pecan wood
35:40 <Ampera> it was so good I bought two more bags
35:43 Join: K ([email protected]) to #eevblog
36:20 <Ampera> Anyways, Halcyon, congratulations, I am now giving you my official Ex-Racist certification, you are no longer a racist.
36:35 * steve30 has been daydreaming about snuggling up with cute guys
36:39 <Ampera> now if only we can get you to stop being an authoritarian....
37:16 <Halcyon> Thanks?
37:36 <Halcyon> I had a lady tell me today she doesn't believe in COVID
37:42 <Halcyon> And that "all laws were illegal"
38:08 <Ampera> well she shouldn't
38:10 <Ampera> COVID isn't a thing
38:17 <Halcyon> Apparently not on her planet
38:23 <Ampera> it's just the flu, and we're being conned by the biggest scam job big pharma has ever done
38:33 <Ampera> why do you think they want everyone to get third, fourth, and fifth shots?
38:40 <T3sl4> oh dear, a sovreign citizen?
38:41 <Ampera> it's just saline, it doesn't do anything
38:44 <steve30> Does she not consent to them?
39:14 <Ampera> The only reason people get sick is as a punishment from god
39:16 <Halcyon> On no, she told me it wasn't big pharma. It was the goverments all around the world operating underground and orchastrating this whole thing and we were all just computer programs like in Terminator
39:26 <Ampera> oh sweet
39:29 * Ampera deletes Halcyon 
39:29 <Halcyon> Apparently she was privvy to all this and no one else is
39:31 <Ampera> much better
39:38 * Halcyon undeletes
39:55 <Halcyon> So yes, that conversation killed 30 minutes of the day
40:04 * steve30 got a bit fed up of sovereign citizens
40:26 <Halcyon> Oh I got her, at one point. She kept saying to me "You need to do your own research"
40:45 <Ampera> She missed a trick
40:57 <Halcyon> But then when I quizzed her about her knowledge of the public health orders, she said she didn't know as she doesn't watch TV. So I said "Well, you're on the internet, you need to do your own research"
40:58 <Ampera> What you're supposed to do is ask a person if they've read some book by some author you make up on the spot
41:03 <Halcyon> I think I broke her brain at that point
41:13 <Ampera> and when they inevitably say no, you say, well if you were a bit more well educated you'd know what I was talking about
41:22 <Ampera> Completely dismissing them out of hand, in the most obnoxious and disgusting way possible
41:55 <Halcyon> Hahaha she was clearly suffering from delusional disorder and probably something else. I didn't want to mess with her too much.
42:13 <steve30> I have some video of someone talking to a mounted police officer about some QAnon stuff. I felt sorry for the policeman :)
42:14 <Ampera> I try not to call stupid people delusional
42:36 <Halcyon> Oh no, she wasn't stupid, she was clearly suffering from some kind of mental illness
42:38 <Ampera> Q is legit though
42:43 <Ampera> haven't you guys seen star trek?
42:46 <Halcyon> She was actually quite articulate
42:52 <Halcyon> Hahah she asked me that too
42:59 <Halcyon> She said Star Trek was real
43:19 <Ampera> it is
43:23 <Halcyon> I said "No, I only watch good movies"
43:34 <Ampera> it had like 5 different shows or more
43:49 <Halcyon> I actually feel sorry for the old duck
47:01 * Halcyon poops on Ampera
47:19 <Ampera> did you see Amazon is releasing a killbot for the home?
47:33 <Halcyon> No? Does it shoot projectiles at cats?
47:37 <Ampera> named Astro too, so you know it has emotions, rockets in its hands and feet, and a machine gun in its ass
48:47 <Ampera> I think its design is a great example of why the 2020's will be a terrible decade
50:08 <Halcyon> Is it made in China?
50:51 <Ampera> no clue
51:26 <K> china is made in Amazon!
51:43 <Halcyon> Ahhh
55:10 * steve30 hugs Halcyon
