00:00:08 <TheDude> doesn't even need to be a tractor trailer, a box truck would be just fine
00:00:29 <Ampera> I'd drive a tractor bobtail, but not with a trailer
00:00:45 <rust1> I would like to try some truck wiht an eaton twin splitter again.
00:09:31 <rust1> that was an enjoyable box to use.

00:24:04 * electrohead yawns
00:24:21 * rust1 still coffes as hard as he can
00:25:12 * electrohead goes poof
00:25:26 * Ampera hugs electrohead
00:25:29 <Ampera> how are you doing friend?
00:54:05 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
01:05:54 <electrohead> Ampera: good here, just got off the phone
01:05:59 <Ampera> nice
01:06:02 <electrohead> how about you?
01:06:02 <Ampera> we should do a call some time
01:06:09 <Ampera> I am trying out a new way to update FreeBSD
01:06:27 * electrohead kicks it
01:06:29 <Ampera> building from source, and using their provided make scripts to update the install
01:06:30 <electrohead> did that help? lol
01:06:40 <Ampera> this means that I can, hopefully, automate the process
01:06:45 <electrohead> there you go
01:06:49 <Ampera> since freebsd-update is a nightmare to automate and takes forever for nothing
01:07:00 <Ampera> and I do not like the way templates work for jails
01:07:18 <Ampera> The only other alternative I've tried to entertain is to, instead of updating my jails, destroy and remake them every single time
01:07:26 <electrohead> does an automated way already exist?
01:07:28 <Ampera> because that process would be very possible to automate it
01:07:32 <Ampera> not really
01:07:36 <electrohead> gah, that sucks
01:07:40 <Ampera> The official guidance is templates
01:07:46 <Ampera> but that means everything in /etc is read-only and shared
01:08:00 <Ampera> and I have to make a lot of manual exceptions for what is not, and there's a bunch of pain with union mounts and nullfs
01:08:22 <Ampera> I'd rather be able to make any arbitrary modification I want to any jail I have.
01:12:18 <electrohead> yeah that seems reasonable for what you want to do
01:12:44 <Ampera> There's a lot of benefit to jails being disposable. It means I can recreate it anywhere I want, and it's always left in a clean state
01:13:10 * electrohead yawns and looks for the coffee
01:13:15 <electrohead> I'm fighting staying awake
01:13:34 <Ampera> looks like it went well on my security jail
01:13:35 <electrohead> got to bed at 0500, so .. don't mind me, if I stop talking
01:13:45 <Ampera> I think I'll go forward on my web and db jails now
01:13:51 <Ampera> lol
01:13:57 <Ampera> man I kinda miss being able to do that
01:14:10 <Ampera> the feeling of going to bed right when the sun starts coming up is amazing
01:14:25 <Ampera> being up so long at night, just the feeling of being completely alone
01:14:33 <Ampera> everyone online is in bed, there's nobody out there on the streets
01:14:54 <electrohead> well, I had friends stop down; me and my buddy stayed up until roughly 5, the misses layed down way earlier than that, and their kid went to bed the earliest
01:15:08 <electrohead> yeah, there's three other people here lol
01:15:19 <electrohead> they are at the store right now, so I have chat time, heh
01:15:30 <Ampera> misses?
01:15:35 <Ampera> you're speaking like Ysjoelfir now :P
01:15:41 <electrohead> lol :P
01:15:44 <Ampera> is she live-in?
01:15:54 <electrohead> nah, they are from pennsylvania
01:16:01 <electrohead> they got here at like, 0100
01:16:09 <Ampera> still, nice that you have someone
01:16:27 <electrohead> oh oh
01:16:36 <electrohead> "the misses" - my friend's girlfriend
01:16:39 <electrohead> sorry for confusion
01:16:42 <Ampera> lol
01:16:43 <Ampera> okay
01:17:01 <electrohead> I'm not used to staying up that late, plus we had a few beers
01:17:11 <electrohead> my mind isn't liking this, heh
01:17:27 <Ampera> for years of my life I got used to my sleep patterns being literally whatever
01:17:37 <Ampera> I had no obligations or things to do for a little while, so it got pretty nuts
01:17:45 <Ampera> it was nice, though. You're basically immune to jetlag
01:17:54 <electrohead> lol, yeah I was like that back in my younger days
01:18:15 <Ampera> Right now, my sleep alternates between being biphasic, with a nap in the evening, followed by a few hours of activity, and sleep till the morning
01:18:23 <Ampera> and just a normal sleep at 10 up at 5-6
01:18:25 <electrohead> nowadays? I pull an overnighter, and my brain/body goes into this weird *woop woop danger* mode, lol
01:19:27 <Ampera> I think I'm probably gonna combine methods
01:19:43 <Ampera> I'm gonna compile the base system, and then use that to rebuild all my jails
01:19:51 <electrohead> you know the woop woop pull up sound I'm talking about from a cockpit? yeah, I totally tried to type that out, and realized "woop woop danger" can look stupid
01:19:55 <Ampera> 40 cores compiles all of FreeBSD pretty quick
01:20:06 <Ampera> I got the jist
01:20:07 <Ampera> gist
01:20:08 <electrohead> 40 cores sounds lovely
01:20:09 <Ampera> whatever
01:20:10 <electrohead> :p
01:20:14 <Ampera> yeah but they're pretty potato cores
01:20:19 <Ampera> Westmere-EX, so like 12 years old
01:20:36 <Ampera> On paper it's about half the performance of a 3950x, so like an 8 core modern Ryzen
01:20:49 <Ampera> actually, that kinda puts it on par to my laptop
01:20:53 <electrohead> I would kill for better hardware right now, for the server setup
01:20:54 <Ampera> workload depending of course
01:21:05 <Ampera> This is an ebay server
01:21:13 <Ampera> but honestly, doing what I did is a BAD idea
01:21:20 <Ampera> I did it because I wanted to, not because it's financially smart
01:21:28 <Ampera> financially smart is buying a VPS from Oracle or DO or someone
01:21:49 <Ampera> because I pay around 100-200USD/mo in power alone
01:21:54 <Ampera> even if all they ever do is idle and run my ZNC
01:22:00 <electrohead> lmao
01:22:11 <electrohead> yeah I have nothing but ebay specials :p
01:22:27 <electrohead> actually, I do have a full size server in the one closet
01:22:29 <Ampera> both my servers are ebay specials, though one I built myself.
01:22:41 <electrohead> but, I totally can't afford to run that currently
01:22:51 <electrohead> well, ok ok, I probably could, to think about it
01:22:54 <Ampera> I actually need to do some physical maintenance very soon
01:22:56 <electrohead> but, it needs hard drives
01:23:09 <Ampera> ...to install some hard drives >.>
01:23:13 <Ampera> and a couple SAS cables
01:23:28 <Ampera> nothing like hauling a big 4U server onto a table to work on it
01:23:28 <electrohead> I need 2.5 inch drives for that full size server
01:23:33 <Ampera> goHardDrive
01:23:36 <electrohead> it was cheap on ebay, and said fuck it
01:23:37 <Ampera> their shit's good
01:23:51 <electrohead> yeah I literally can't buy much right now, money is that tight
01:24:04 <Ampera> I know, just saying
01:24:14 <Ampera> my 40 core server has 8 LFF drive bays
01:24:21 <electrohead> I already have a bunch of drives saved though, from goharddrive
01:24:24 <Ampera> I think I have 4x900GB 10k, and 4x300GB 10k
01:24:43 <Ampera> I need to get my neighbor to do something with his fuckin time
01:24:54 <Ampera> he's a great friend, but he just sits around all day, when he needs to just be doing work
01:25:14 <electrohead> sounds like me currently :D
01:25:24 <Ampera> Like, I mean shit he can do sitting down
01:25:33 <electrohead> lol
01:25:37 <Ampera> he's a mason, among other things, so I'm gonna suggest he make like stone lions or something
01:25:46 <electrohead> however though, I'm totally looking and applying
01:25:57 <Ampera> something he can take his time with and make some cash on. Don't need to haul stone all day, and can have fun with it
01:26:01 <electrohead> yeah
01:26:04 <Ampera> That reminds me
01:26:10 <Ampera> bother me on monday to get you those job listings we talked about
01:26:26 <electrohead> sounds good
01:26:54 <electrohead> heh, I have the imposter syndrome 'thing' going on currently
01:29:40 <Ampera> man, make installworld still takes ages, but it's a damn sight faster than freebsd-update

04:39:04 <steve30> I've been out with my enormous camcorder again. My joints are not pleased.
04:39:19 <steve30> Anyway, I now have about 6 hours worth of footage to cut down into 10 minutes.
04:39:22 <Ampera> buuuuuns

06:51:10 <Nothing\> hey, lemme ask you astronomy nerds something
06:51:27 <Nothing\> have any of you ever seen the Andromeda Galaxy with your naked eye?
06:52:18 <Nothing\> Cuz I've been trying for years, though I live in the city. And could never see anything that was certain. But that whole area is fully of very dim, "fuzzy" stars you can only see out of the corner of your eye.
06:52:46 <Nothing\> But even looking with a rather strong pair of 15x binoculars, I either wasn't able to find it, or wasn't able to see it, being in the city.
06:53:49 <Nothing\> from what I understand it's pretty spread out. But it's also supposed to be fairly bright in terms of its magnitude. But I don't know if that's the magnitude of the entire object summed together. Or just the magnitude of the brightest point. Or how that work. With a star it's usually a given that the magnitude originates from a singular point.
06:54:19 <Nothing\> But I understand galaxies are more nebulous in their appearance. Being kind of hazy of smudged looking.
06:55:03 <Nothing\> i've only ever seen one nebula first hand though, the famous Orion Nebula. Which you couldn't miss for the life of you, provided you know what to look for.
06:55:49 <Nothing\> Even before I knew what it was it fascinated me because it's just this fuzzy smudge of blue glow with maybe a few stars visible in it. Very unlike anything else in the night sky.
07:02:04 <Nothing\> oh, also
07:02:37 <Nothing\> since nobody's here, i'm gonna post this interesting tidbit i just noticed in my buffer history from last night
07:02:56 <Nothing\> oh wtf where'd it go
07:02:58 <TheDude> I'm here, I just refuse to respond
07:03:04 <Nothing\> ctrl+f won't even work
07:03:12 <Nothing\> TheDude, most people do. I don't mind.
07:04:22 <Nothing\> what i'm doing aside from barfing my inner monologue into the channel is sort of throwing various topics at a wall to "see what sticks" in terms of striking up a conversation or hitting on a subject that interests or is relevant to somebody who may be reading or may read at a later point
07:04:27 <Nothing\> ideally, anyways
07:05:07 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
07:05:45 <TheDude> I have very little knowledge of astronomy, so I can't really partake in the convo
07:06:19 * Ampera is having cajun boil
07:06:25 <TheDude> looking at pretty pictures that james webb makes is about where my interest stops
07:06:53 <Ampera> crawfish, clams, scallops, shrimp, corn, sausage, potatoes
07:07:14 <TheDude> that sounds pretty good
07:07:16 <TheDude> pics?
07:08:06 <Ampera> when round 2 is done
07:09:34 <Nothing\> hey Ampera
07:09:37 <Nothing\> how you doing buddy?
07:09:37 <Nothing\> also
07:09:50 * Nothing\ jumps enthusiastically into Ampera's big, strong arms
07:09:59 <Nothing\> or at least bigger and stronger than mine probably lol
07:10:09 <Nothing\> i think last time i measured my biceps they were 14in
07:10:39 * steve30 has been sportsball-ing all day
07:10:52 <Ampera> not reaply
07:10:57 <Ampera> I have nice smol arms
07:11:21 <Ampera> also thanks for jumping straight on me, you made fucking crawfish go EVERYWHERE
07:12:15 <Nothing\> almost no upper body strength at all. But I have this weird motor agitation I guess you can call it RLS but it's never been diagnosed. Anyways the result is that I'm incredibly restless almost 24/7 (especially while trying to sleep or relaxing my muscles) which results in me bouncing my knee up and down at a rate of 3-4hz for 10-16 hours a day for the past 25 years
07:12:25 <Nothing\> so as a result of that, my legs are pure muscle
07:12:33 <Ampera> I don't really want a big strong body
07:13:18 <Nothing\> i don't either. But I'd at least like a strong enough core that I can stand upright for more than an hour before getting awful lower back pain and having to sit down for a few minutes, or lean forward and rest my elbows on my knees with my back arched.
07:13:42 <Nothing\> it sucks when i'm out for a walk and i get it in a place where i can sit down
07:14:16 <Nothing\> lol the one time i was sitting on the curb at the bank and an old lady asked me what was wrong and i told her about my back pain. I was surprised that instead of scoffing, she was actually empathetic
07:14:38 <Nothing\> i figured she'd be like "oh YOU'RE in pain? Let me tell you about pain..."
07:14:51 <Nothing\> well, not really. But I felt like that's what she should have said to me
07:14:56 <steve30> My shoulder is aching from video-camera-ing
07:15:16 <Nothing\> steve30, they need to make a shoulder mounted selfie stick
07:15:23 <Nothing\> although they probably do
07:15:42 <Nothing\> but you don't strike me as the selfie type, though i guess you could turn it around and use it as a mount just as easily
07:16:26 <steve30> I was using the murder weapon grade camcorder. Selfies are incredibly impractical with that. I did use it to interview some armed police though.
07:16:41 <Nothing\> but yeah, i imagine something like one of those neck braces they put on cervical trauma patients. Not the foam ones, but the ones that are rigid and sit on your collar bone...
07:16:51 <Nothing\> but with a selfie stick sticking out of it
07:17:00 <Nothing\> and without the neck brace part, just the shoulder harness part
07:18:18 <steve30> They did a march from the town centre to the sportsball ground, so that was a good exercise in walking backwards :)
07:18:24 <Nothing\> oh man so my dispensary had this customer appreciation day going on today. I lucked out.
07:19:39 <Nothing\> they were giving some things away and i got a bottle of oral THC oil, a little e-cigarette for vaping extracts, and a couple of little stickers and kitchy things.
07:19:48 <Nothing\> and a raffle for something I'm not sure what it is.
07:19:57 <Nothing\> looked like merch
07:20:18 <Nothing\> branded lighters, pipes, a skateboard of some sort, stuff like that
07:20:41 <Nothing\> which i can just imagine how great it'd go down if a guy got stoned and tried out his new skateboard for the first time lol
07:20:57 <Nothing\> I'd just end up riding it down the driveway like I did when I was 10
07:21:02 <Nothing\> like a luge
07:21:15 <Nothing\> shoulda mentioned the part about being on my bum
07:22:27 <Ampera> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/449968711789445127/1000512917634023444/20220723_171609.jpg
07:22:32 <Ampera> cc TheDude
07:23:13 <TheDude> sausage is a bit of an unusual combo with the seafood, but okay
07:24:18 * steve30 had sausage roll earlier
07:28:45 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
07:31:50 <Nothing\> lol pope francis is visiting canada
07:32:11 <Nothing\> i hope the indigenous people fucking lynch his waste of an ass
07:33:26 <Nothing\> they're already saying they're going to press him for a more genuine apology than the token one they got after like a year of asking for one after discovering the catholic church was involved in the genocide of indigenous canadians up until the mid to late 90s at least
07:34:11 <Nothing\> finding dozens of mass unmarked graves of hundreds of children from the church
07:34:27 <Nothing\> that is, dozens of sites with hundreds of bodies a piece
07:34:34 <Nothing\> at least
07:35:05 <Nothing\> then there's the issue of all of the indigenous artifacts the catholic church has in their possession which they claim were "gifts"
07:35:09 <Nothing\> but were obviously stolen
07:36:05 <Nothing\> why give gifts to the people who are wiping out your race, other than to appease them as one would appease a spiteful (polytheistic) god in the midst of an eclipse. Lest their maize crops be flooded.
07:36:17 <Nothing\> which is to say, they were smarter than that
07:36:49 <Nothing\> oh yeah, on a different note
07:36:54 <TheDude> the roman catholic church is an evil organization, zero fucking doubt about that
07:37:03 <Nothing\> apparently astronomers found a trinary solar system
07:37:16 <Nothing\> i'm not sure about it though. They said it's trinary, but there are 4 stars.
07:37:44 <TheDude> some years ago they were collecting donations here in Slovenia for some orphanage that was supposedly being built whoknowswhere
07:37:49 <Nothing\> I just thought it was cool because I just watched Contact a couple of weeks ago, and the solar system she goes to is part of a Trinary system.
07:38:20 <TheDude> they later traced that the money was used to remodel the luxurious apartment of some Slovenian cardinal in Vatican
07:38:46 <Nothing\> I'm not even sure if they've known of any such solar systems before. I just know that 3 orbiting bodies is one of those classic demonstrations of the behavior of a chaotic system and how tiny differences in the starting conditions cause unpredictable changes to it.
07:38:51 <Nothing\> like a double pendulum
07:39:09 <Nothing\> TheDude, that's disgusting
07:39:15 <TheDude> they will bullshit dumb people about heeding Jesus' teachings and guilt them into their version of morality
07:39:31 <TheDude> and they will do the polar opposite when it comes to their actions
07:41:37 <Nothing\> TheDude, I'm a very firm believer in God. I believe that the God of Chrstianity is the God of Islam is the God of everyone else. But that everyone's experiences with that God are very different, since everybody is so different from one person to the next. It would stand to reason that their perception of their experiences with God and perhaps the experiences themselves would be very different from one person to the nex
07:41:38 <Nothing\> that any organized religion can be applied universally to everyone the way they (ideally) try to. Although it's obvious that most organized religions have merely usurped the name and will of God and twisted it to keep control of their subjects and basically perpetuate an empire without borders
07:42:45 <TheDude> the simplest solution is usually the right one, from my experience
07:43:31 <Nothing\> and in my eyes, there's nothing more immoral, more disgusting than usurping the name and especially the will of God. Because it creates atheists. IME anyways, a lot of atheists point to the Christian church for reasons why they're atheists. That they don't believe in a God who does the twisted things described in the old testament, for example. And that's the basis, among other things of course, for their atheistic bel
07:43:31 <Nothing\> my case. I was a staunch atheist myself for the better part of 20-25 years.
07:43:38 <TheDude> and the simplest solution is that god, or any other omnipotent being, is a figment of imagination of some dudes a long time ago
07:43:49 <Nothing\> TheDude, that's funny because Occam's Razor comes up in Contact a lot
07:43:57 <Nothing\> it's very interesting you mentioned that
07:44:34 <Nothing\> i believe synchronicities are a way that God uses to try to communicate with me. Though what they mean or how to interpret them is way beyond my understanding. I just know they're rarely, if ever, meant to be taken literally.
07:44:47 <Nothing\> if you know what a synchronicity is
07:44:54 <TheDude> I don't
07:44:58 <TheDude> please explain
07:45:24 <Nothing\> it's a pretty obscure concept coined by an early psychologist name Carl Jung, who was a contemporary of Freud's.
07:45:53 <Nothing\> it's sort of like a meaningful coincidence, I guess. In a nutshell anyways. There's obviously a lot more to it.
07:46:01 <Nothing\> Jung was much more spiritual than Freud was.
07:46:33 <Nothing\> i'm unsure of how they connect with psychology, if at all
07:46:37 <TheDude> can you give me an example of such meaningful coincidence?
07:46:46 <TheDude> like from your personal experience
07:46:47 <Nothing\> or if it was just part of his studies into other topics, like spiritualism for instance.
07:47:24 <Nothing\> TheDude, gladly. I actually wrote some down. And I've had shared ones so it's not just something where i'm crazy or seeing what i want to see. But these examples are not shared i don't believe.
07:47:29 <Nothing\> let me see what i have
07:47:51 <Nothing\> i don't usually write them down because i feel it's for me and me alone so there's no point in writing it down
07:48:09 <Nothing\> or at least important to me
07:49:39 <Nothing\> here's a relatively benign seeming one that's easy to sum up. As you can imagine some of these get to be quite lengthy being life experiences
07:49:44 <Nothing\> While doing some random browsing, I came across an article mentioning a Tory politician named Candice Bergen. Whose name confused me because she shared the name of a famous sitcom actress from the 90's who's become obscure now and I wondered if somehow it might have been her. So I looked her up and just confirmed they weren't the same person. It was nothing more than a passing curiosity.
07:49:44 <Nothing\> Several days later while browsing the news, I come across a headline about how the current leader of the Tory party was ousted, and Candice Bergen was installed as their new leader. I had never heard of her until the day I came across her accidentally.
07:50:39 <Nothing\> and i mean it's not so much any one of these events
07:50:49 <Nothing\> but the fact that things like this happen multiple times a day sometimes
07:50:55 <Nothing\> at least multiple times a week
07:51:23 <TheDude> okay
07:51:52 <TheDude> let's say that it indeed is god's obscure way of trying to communicate with you
07:52:01 <TheDude> what would be the message here?
07:52:06 <Nothing\> that's the question
07:52:10 <Nothing\> i don't even know how to interpret it
07:52:17 <Nothing\> whether it's meant to be literal somehow or symbolic
07:52:37 <Nothing\> after more than 15 years of this happening I've yet to discover any pattern or rhyme or reason to it
07:52:43 <Nothing\> for all i can tell it's completely random
07:52:53 <TheDude> so...
07:52:57 <Nothing\> so i don't put much stock into any sort of interpretations or anything
07:53:02 <Nothing\> i just find them interesting
07:53:13 <Nothing\> and if there is a message or something, i think it would be important to find it
07:53:14 <Nothing\> if it's there
07:53:23 <TheDude> god is omnipotent, he can do whatever your wildest imagination can think of
07:53:26 <Nothing\> and yeah i know it sounds nutso lol
07:53:34 <TheDude> and is trying to convey some sort of message to you
07:53:40 <Nothing\> TheDude, god is omnipotent according to The Church
07:53:50 <Nothing\> the truth is we don't know the extent of God's power
07:54:00 <Nothing\> maybe god just seems omnipotent compared to humanity
07:54:03 <TheDude> would it not be easier to just spawn as a man and knock on your door? Bruce Almighty style
07:54:17 <Nothing\> ie, an alien or some other type of being not of this world with highly advanced technology
07:54:28 <Nothing\> not omnipotent, but for all intents and purposes, still godlike
07:54:48 <TheDude> the alternative is that coincidences happen from time to time and that's it
07:54:51 <TheDude> seems rather simple
07:54:53 <Nothing\> TheDude, i don't think it's that simple.
07:55:09 <Nothing\> I think if God could take no a physical form, He would have
07:55:15 <Nothing\> or perhaps God IS the universe
07:55:25 <Nothing\> i really don't know, but that's part of my beliefs
07:55:31 <TheDude> aye
07:56:05 <Nothing\> God is just so absolutely... unlike anything we know as humans, we simply lack the capacity to even come close to understanding who or what God is or what His or its intentions are
07:56:22 <Nothing\> i use male pronouns like He and His out of convenience. I don't think God has any use for a penis.
07:56:27 <Nothing\> or gender
07:56:47 <Nothing\> on that note though, I was thinking about the story of the Virgin Mary
07:57:33 <Nothing\> and if the roles were reversed and God came to Earth as a human and a man impregnated... I guess Her and God gave birth to the equivalent of Jesus. I'm pretty sure in the eyes or most churches, that would be extremely blasphemous
07:57:56 <Nothing\> the notion of a man having sex with god and impregnating him with his "impure human seed"
07:58:05 <Nothing\> it's a strange double standard
07:59:14 <TheDude> all of this seems a bit far fetched
07:59:28 <Nothing\> I do think there's a lot of good knowledge to be gleaned from religious texts, though. Like The Bible. But I don't think much, if any of it really happened. They're just stories with morals or to be taken symbolically or whatever.
07:59:29 <TheDude> I say a bit, but I mean the exact opposite
08:00:31 <Nothing\> yeah it's really hard to say
08:00:45 <Nothing\> but that's religion, more questions than answers
08:00:52 <Nothing\> that's how you know you're on the right path.
08:01:01 <Nothing\> anyone who claims to have more answers than questions is full of it.
08:01:38 <Nothing\> it's very much like science in that respect, come to think of it.
08:02:04 <Nothing\> constantly searching for truth, but always finding more questions than answers.
08:02:38 <TheDude> no, that's the exact opposite of science
08:03:06 <TheDude> science is about taking a thesis and trying to prove it or disprove it, based on the evidence that you observe
08:03:30 <TheDude> religion is based on belief that some ancient storybook is telling the truth
08:03:38 <jaymax> I never approached Aesop's Fables as having more questions than answers.
08:03:40 <TheDude> and that truth shall not be questioned
08:04:52 <TheDude> and religion has been used throughout history as an excuse to slaughter other humans
08:05:31 <jaymax> > religion is based on belief that some ancient storybook is telling the truth
08:05:31 <jaymax> The word of God. Joseph Smith had that expectation.
08:05:39 <TheDude> thou shalt not kill, unless... <wide list of exceptions>
08:06:24 <jaymax> Now that just sounds like intersectionality.
08:08:22 <jaymax> Someone should have a sect of LDS called wokism. Seems like a sensible way to separate church and state, once again.
08:22:38 <rust1> I vote for teletubbies for president
08:26:48 <jaymax> Seems reasonable. They're already puppets in the most literal sense of the word.

08:57:06 <steve30> I could do with some food
08:57:32 <steve30> I've had pasta this evening, and sausage roll this morning, but having not eaten properly for a couple of days before, I'm rather hungry.
08:57:51 <rust1> I have extra pizza,(pizzarandabschneider) if you want it
09:06:10 <DHess_US> Made myself a chicken melt for lunch. Yummy.
09:06:57 <DHess_US> sliced chicken, cheddar, texas bread, tomato slice.
09:19:35 <Nothing\> bah it's that exact half hour of the day when the sun glares off of my TV and makes games or movies/videos impossible
09:19:51 <Nothing\> which frankly i think is the cosmos' way of telling me to get off my ass
09:20:17 <Nothing\> it seems to do that a lot lol
09:20:41 <Nothing\> oh man i dunno what it was but i was so damn sick this morning
09:21:32 <Nothing\> woke up with bowel cramps and the runs. Which turned into about an hour of vomiting my dinner from the night before off and on until it was all out of me, and then some.
09:21:50 <rust1> hey Nothing\
09:21:52 <Nothing\> i feel better now, thank god, but still no real apetite.
09:21:59 <Nothing\> hey rust1 how ya doing?
09:22:01 <rust1> get off your ass!
09:22:07 <rust1> oh, not bad.
09:22:10 <Nothing\> lol
09:22:13 <Nothing\> that's good
09:22:16 <Nothing\> shouldn't you be in bed?
09:22:19 <rust1> I have had a super low energy day today.
09:22:24 <rust1> and yes, I should
09:22:27 <Nothing\> story of my life, my friend
09:22:39 <Nothing\> i either have super low energy or i'm riddled with anxiety
09:22:52 <rust1> it is my first day off for the summer. I have 3 weeks off now
09:23:02 <Nothing\> ah right on. got anything planned?
09:23:06 <rust1> so, it makes sense that I got up and did nothig at all all day
09:23:23 <Nothing\> heh well as long as that's what you enjoy, that's what's important.
09:23:24 <rust1> nah, I will just get some stuff done around the house
09:23:34 <Nothing\> i know that's not everybody's idea of a nice day
09:23:47 <rust1> and no, I did not enjoy it, I just did not feel like doing much
09:24:08 <Nothing\> some weirdos prefer to work for leisure. Which I guess is no more weird than how I study or watch college/uni lectures for recreation
09:24:14 <Nothing\> it's just the physical version of it
09:24:32 <Nothing\> rust1, aw i'm sorry to hear that
09:24:37 <Nothing\> that's a shit feeling to have
09:24:48 <rust1> yes, I don't think I really like work that much, but it is nice, when you are done with it
09:25:02 <Nothing\> especially when it turns into a feedback loop and just makes you do even less, which makes you feel worse, etc
09:25:11 <rust1> yep
09:25:30 <rust1> oh well. maybe I will do something tomorrow
09:25:31 <Nothing\> well, i hope whatever's causing that resolves soon.
09:25:45 <Nothing\> yeah that's the key, I find. Keep yourself busy and distracted.
09:26:01 <Nothing\> that's part of why I study "for fun" it keeps me from thinking about stressful things.
09:26:07 <rust1> I wonder if it was just my brain saying that I have today off, so I don't have to...
09:26:15 <Nothing\> which my brain does involuntarily any time it gets the chance
09:26:39 * Ampera kisses Nothing\
09:26:48 * Ampera hugs rust1
09:26:48 * Nothing\ fondles Ampera
09:26:51 <Ampera> how are you frens doing?
09:27:00 <Nothing\> i'm pretty good, NOW
09:27:05 <Ampera> WOW
09:27:07 <Nothing\> but i was sick as hell this morning
09:27:17 <Nothing\> puking out both ends
09:27:30 <rust1> that sounds efficient
09:27:46 <Nothing\> which, i haven't actually vomited in almost a year so that was unpleasant. It's always so painful now for some reason.
09:28:15 <Nothing\> before, it didn't even faze me. I'd be walking along and start puking and just keep walking as i puke like nothing's happening
09:28:37 <Ampera> Nothing\, did you see what I had for dinner?
09:29:14 <Nothing\> or playing guitar hero drunk, i puked while i was in the middle of the song but never stopped playing and never missed a note (well maybe 1 or 2) then when I was done playing, I took off my pants and used them to wipe my puke all over my friend's floor in a vain attempt at cleaning it up.
09:29:21 <Nothing\> Ampera, i did not
09:29:25 <Ampera> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/449968711789445127/1000512917634023444/20220723_171609.jpg
09:29:41 <Nothing\> oooh nice
09:29:46 <Nothing\> i love me some shellfish
09:29:59 <Ampera> had a cajun boil with a neighbor who used to live in New Orleans
09:30:22 <Nothing\> right on. I was gonna say that reminds me of something cajun with crawfish or something.
09:30:40 <Nothing\> i can't tell if those are crawfish or shrimp
09:30:59 <Nothing\> i haven't seen enough intact shrimp to know what they're supposed to look like
09:31:17 <Nothing\> and only seen crawfish like 3 times ever
09:31:17 <Ampera> There are shrimps, and there are crawfish
09:31:23 <Nothing\> ah
09:31:30 <Ampera> so you are both right and also right
09:31:37 <Nothing\> oh yeah i see the crawfish
09:31:40 <Nothing\> it's a bit darker
09:31:48 <Ampera> well the crawfish is looking at you
09:31:50 <Ampera> the shrimp isn't
09:32:05 <Nothing\> oh weidr
09:32:11 <Nothing\> i woulda thought the other way around
09:32:15 <Nothing\> so there are 2 crawfish?
09:32:20 <Ampera> 3
09:32:25 <Ampera> the shrimp is behind them
09:32:28 <Nothing\> ohhh
09:32:30 <Ampera> it's pink
09:32:51 <Nothing\> oh yeah the gutted and prepared shrimps
09:32:55 <Nothing\> lol they just kinda blended in
09:32:59 <Ampera> nah
09:33:01 <Ampera> just decapitated
09:33:04 <Nothing\> i was expecting i guess they're called prawns officially
09:33:05 <Ampera> they still needed to be peeled
09:33:11 <Ampera> they're not
09:33:13 <Ampera> prawns are freshwater
09:33:16 <Ampera> shrimp is saltwater
09:33:18 <Nothing\> where it's not prepared or peeled or anything. It's just one whole animal
09:33:22 <Nothing\> oh okay
09:33:28 <Ampera> it's not
09:33:41 <Ampera> they're different creatures
09:33:44 <Ampera> kinda like trout vs salmon
09:33:57 <Nothing\> ah i always wondered about that
09:34:08 <Nothing\> at most i thought prawns were maybe a larger species of shrimp
09:34:13 <Ampera> I have never had a prawn
09:34:17 <Nothing\> me neither
09:34:23 <Ampera> tons of shrimp though
09:34:29 <Ampera> there's also clams and scallops on that plate
09:34:32 <Nothing\> i've never had any freshwater shellfish actually
09:34:34 <Ampera> and a beer bratwurst
09:34:39 <Nothing\> i bet it makes all the difference
09:34:51 <Ampera> crawfish is freshwater
09:34:53 <Nothing\> i mean that meat is basically marinating in brine for its entire existence
09:34:58 <Nothing\> aye
09:35:04 <Nothing\> i've seen wild crawfish
09:35:04 <Ampera> eh
09:35:07 <Ampera> I'm not sure about that
09:35:09 <Ampera> but whatever
09:35:18 <Ampera> I can't prove you wrong just as much as I can't say you're right
09:35:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah that's true. It's not like the cells themselves are actually swelling with salt water
09:35:52 <Nothing\> i wonder how that even works
09:36:59 <rust1> works fine
09:37:03 <Nothing\> cuz i've seen demos where there's a microscope slide with cells, and they add salt water to it and the cells will shrivel up as the water gets sucked out of them
09:37:46 <Ampera> that's relative salinity
09:38:23 <Nothing\> rust1, clearly lol. I'm just wondering how. Like the way hibernating frogs can freeze solid in winter because they have a special "antifreeze" protein that keeps sharp ice crystals from forming
09:38:28 <Nothing\> or any ice crystals
09:39:06 <Nothing\> Ampera, granted, I'm sure many cellular processes would go awry if the salinity wasn't just right.
09:46:44 <rust1> watching videos about people who are not good at running excavators, running excavators, is pretty amusing
09:50:35 <Ampera> rust1, watching people who don't know how to drive, drive, is also pretty amusing
09:50:42 <Ampera> so long as I am not actually there in the car next to them
09:51:19 <rust1> sure, but cars are sort of limited in what you can make them do. even if some people manage to do incredible things to them, lol
09:56:08 <rust1> ok, time for a nap, have fun or something

17:50:55 <Halcyon> Hello hsn
17:50:59 <hsn> is it an insult to call people muppets ?
17:51:02 <T3sl4> Hah
17:51:16 <hsn> hello Halcyon how is life ?
17:51:18 <Halcyon> Sort of not really...
17:51:26 <Halcyon> It's like calling someone silly/stupid
17:51:35 <Halcyon> Life is dandy hsn, how about you?
17:51:52 <hsn> Halcyon, our tutor used to call us muppets and we used to love it :D
17:52:54 <hsn> Halcyon, its going to get dandy i hope .. tommorow is supposed to be my last day at this .... company ....
17:53:08 <T3sl4> how are you, oh sandy one?
17:53:14 <hsn> this dum salary delay issue is going to be no longer ..
17:53:26 <hsn> yes T3sl4 sandy is what i ment
17:53:58 <hsn> the indian static analysis company who is supposed to fix our code .. is doing .. funny
17:54:42 <T3sl4> i prefer satanic analysis
17:54:46 <hsn> they are supposed to fix the code becasue their static analysis tool is complaining about our code .. and look at their changes ..
17:59:26 <hsn> https://i.imgur.com/QPFi3un.jpg
18:00:16 <T3sl4> that's an... interesting bool cast
18:00:20 <hsn> i mean code is not written by me i dont like "delayer" name .. but eh ..
18:00:44 <hsn> someone is booling "uint32_t" millis() time stamp :D
18:01:01 <hsn> this is one example .. imagine the rest ..
18:01:07 <DogWomble> evenm as someone who is rusty with their coding skills ..... converting at imestamp to a boolean?
18:01:12 <hsn> flipping if conditions .. doing funny stuff ..
18:01:18 <DogWomble> that makes. ... what sense exactly?
18:02:06 <hsn> Few more logic were found as change. This is really not good. it’s like mines implemented to be discovered later.
18:02:19 <hsn> I believe that this is because the code was modified by multiple people and originally by junior developers and then reviewed by senior within Sloki?
18:02:35 <hsn> oh crap .

18:04:31 <hsn> casting unsigned 16 to bool then comparing it back to a number .. :D
18:11:27 <T3sl4> i think bool is just int anyway, so it shouldn't do anything, but you're also telling the compiler it can take the logical rather than arithmetic value of that variable and it's probably not going to end well
18:12:17 <T3sl4> i know it depends, e.g. bool on AVR is 1 byte
19:08:25 Join: cheeseandchives ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:20:15 <Ampera> bool as int?
23:20:32 <Ampera> that's either a small int, a waste of space, or a really weird arch
