00:31:59 <arch> one of the more memorable quotes in this channel: "i made some records of my pooping some years ago but that was partly down to me being constipated"
00:47:11 <DHess_US> Christ, it is too early in the morning for that.
01:33:55 <MrMobodies> After 3 hours

01:34:31 <MrMobodies> That petition against digital ID has got over 1200 signatures
01:34:55 <MrMobodies> that's like 400 signatures an hour.
01:36:03 <MrMobodies> so on average that'd be 295.85 days but this petition started on the 9th of January
01:37:26 <MrMobodies> 365-281=84 days
01:37:46 <MrMobodies> oops
01:38:05 <MrMobodies> Day 281-9=272
01:38:23 <MrMobodies> and this is day 281 in the year
01:42:40 <MrMobodies> 2841618/400=(7104.04/24)=296

09:58:08 <damian> what is it made with
09:58:47 <steve30> what does it do?
09:59:07 <damian> i think it's one of those epenis things
09:59:16 <damian> when you have a small peen IRL so you make flashy things like this to compensate
10:06:04 <Halcyon> ROFL. Some people are just major nerds

10:16:13 <Halcyon> I don't get how it's stamping your text correct but others it isn't ?
10:16:13 <Halcyon> So bizarre
10:16:28 <Halcyon> Ahh
10:16:45 <damian> i assume it's because of ircv3 features, the server is pushing through a datetime and doesnt know about dst
10:17:11 <damian> or maybe a bug in mirc, 'cause if i turn off scripts it comes up the correct time
10:17:11 <Halcyon> Oh there you go. I'm not up to date on new fangdangle IRC
10:18:01 <damian> me neither, still learning!
10:18:04 * Debug output off
10:18:31 <damian> now the real question here, why is microsoft updating notepad?!? if i wanted features in my text pad i would use wordpad, not notepad
10:19:06 <Halcyon> What are they doing to it?
10:20:29 <damian> too much! it's now themed. you can do formatting on different sections of text. it has spell check. it has autocorrect. it has copilot included (with a license). and the latest stupid is that if you have a file open (like a logfile) and you click off / on that notepad window, it'll update the contents from the document
10:21:10 <Halcyon> So rich text essentially?
10:21:24 <damian> yeap
10:21:28 <Halcyon> Maybe they are planning to get rid of Wordpad?
10:21:40 <damian> i thought of that! and they already have! as of 24H2
10:21:47 <Halcyon> I don't use WIndows, so not really keeping up with what they are doing
10:21:56 <damian> that's fair
10:22:25 <damian> they're going to get it to the point where i can't copy data into > out of it without that data being screwed up in some way, it's not going to be good Halcyon!
10:22:31 <Halcyon> I'm hating all this AI being stuffed into everything
10:22:34 <Halcyon> It's annoting
10:22:36 <Halcyon> *annoying
10:22:53 <damian> "quotes" are going to turn into “quotes”
10:23:00 <damian> ITLL BE ANARCHY
10:23:10 <Halcyon> When I was on Windows, I mostly used Notepad ++
10:23:17 <damian> i never liked notepad++, too flashy :P
10:23:28 <damian> that's why i like notepad, it's basic, and that's all i need it to be
10:23:33 <damian> i'm going to have to create my own notepad!
10:23:56 <Halcyon> Does the old edit.com still exist?
10:24:00 <damian> and yeah, i'm similar with ai. i do not mind it being there, but please allow me to turn it off and get rid of it
10:24:28 <damian> it does not, i dont think that's been there since win98 or something though
10:24:35 <Halcyon> Fair
10:24:43 <damian> maybe 2000, once they got rid of the actual cmd shell
10:25:01 <damian> times are changing Halcyon!
10:25:05 <damian> what are you heading to queensland for
10:25:13 <Halcyon> I miss the old Windows versions, I just can't get used to the newer ones
10:25:28 <Halcyon> Nothing in particular, still technically working remotely.
10:25:34 <Halcyon> Catching up with a mate for dinner.
10:26:16 <damian> i do not mind newer windows. my biggest gripe at the moment is webview applications, they're ruining the system
10:26:22 <damian> ah very nice, a little getaway
10:27:22 <Halcyon> I better get going, train is getting packed.

13:37:28 <steve30> hehe
13:38:05 <damian> are you excited for the c64 re-release coming up?
13:39:18 * steve30 has no idea what that is
13:39:30 <damian> haha
13:39:41 <damian> sorry, i just had a quick look at your website and it says you're interested in amiga
13:39:58 <damian> so i assumed you'd know about the commodore 64 ultimate that's coming out soon. it's a re-release of the original c64
13:40:05 <steve30> I have an assortment of amigas, don't use them much though now
13:40:40 <steve30> ah, I don't really pay attention to any retro computing stuff. Also I've never used a C64. I'm more of a BBC Micro person :)
13:41:31 <damian> interesting!
13:41:36 <damian> i figured they're all pretty much related
13:42:03 * Vampera pets steve30 and damian
13:42:14 <Vampera> I have an assortment of amigas and amigos
13:42:28 <damian> howdy
13:42:30 <damian> hahahah
13:42:32 <damian> im scared to ask
13:42:37 <Vampera> ask what
13:42:57 <Vampera> nothing scary about me
13:43:06 <Vampera> I'm just your friendly neighborhood blood sucking vampire
13:43:13 <damian> where you keep them all
13:43:28 <Vampera> well they wouldn't very much be my friends if I kept them prisoner
13:43:51 <Vampera> do you not have friends?
13:44:15 <damian> i try not to, they're a pain in the ass usually
13:45:16 <Vampera> damian, I mean if you're into that sorta thing, who's to judge
13:45:25 <damian> true true
13:45:38 <Vampera> I mean I'd try it
13:45:45 <Vampera> for all I know I'd enjoy it
13:45:56 <damian> im sure you would, you dirty vampera
13:46:04 <Vampera> :(
13:46:05 <Vampera> mean
13:46:13 * Vampera sinks her fangs into damian
13:46:19 <Vampera> imma steal ur blood for making me sad
13:46:55 <damian> i dont like my blood being stolen though
13:47:22 <Vampera> well I don't like being called dirty either q.q
13:47:43 <Vampera> I'll have you know I am a perfectly well kempt slut.
13:48:35 <damian> i will keep that in mind!
13:48:39 <damian> both things!
13:48:42 <Vampera> ty
13:48:43 <Vampera> and
13:48:45 <Vampera> uh
13:48:47 <Vampera> you can have your blood back
13:48:50 * Vampera spits it back out
13:48:55 <damian> thank you sir
13:49:02 <Vampera> you're welcome ma'am
13:50:17 <damian> what projects have you been working on lately
13:50:45 <Vampera> trying to put together more interesting outfits and trying more clothes
13:51:25 <Vampera> I might try putting together my own DNS over HTTPS provider so I don't have to keep dealing with the annoyance that is switching it on and off on my phone each time I want to access local network services
13:53:48 <Vampera> watchu up to damian
13:54:31 <damian> i gave up on looking good a long time ago, i go with comfort these days! which is funny, because i work for a fashion brand
13:54:42 <damian> what do you use dns over https for?
13:57:39 <Vampera> damian, DNS privacy on networks which aren't my own
13:57:45 <Vampera> which are many of the ones I use my phone on
13:57:54 <damian> that's fair
13:57:58 <Vampera> android does not generally let one pick their own DNS provider unless it's HNS over HTTPS
13:58:01 <Vampera> *DNS
13:58:06 <Vampera> which I think is ridiculous
13:58:07 <Vampera> but
13:58:14 <Vampera> c'est la vie
13:58:22 <damian> who do you currently use to serve you?
13:59:57 Join: Nothing\ ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
14:00:02 <Nothing\> well this is odd
14:00:22 <Nothing\> these 250ma fuses i bought years ago apparently won't pop until the current is well above 1 amp
14:01:55 <Nothing\> i dunno if that's how they were to begin, I didn't have a voltage/current supply to test it at the time. But, that seems impluasible.
14:03:07 * Vampera hugs Nothing\
14:03:30 <Vampera> damian, I have unbound running in opnsense, though it doesn't seem to support this usecase
14:03:45 <Nothing\> oh heya Vampera heh
14:03:46 <Vampera> (when running under opnsense specifically)
14:03:55 * Vampera sinks her teeth into Nothing\
14:04:11 <damian> you don't trust using google or cloudflare public dns?
14:04:23 <Nothing\> heh i've been watching adventure time lately and there have been some vampire episodes
14:04:37 <Nothing\> dunno if you ever watched it but i sugggest it if you like fantasy type stuff
14:04:48 <Nothing\> like that Matt Groening cartoon... what was it
14:04:59 <Nothing\> Disenchantment
14:06:01 <Nothing\> I always thought it would be cool to be a vampire
14:06:22 <Vampera> damian, I have some local network services that I'd rather not describe on public DNS
14:06:44 <Vampera> Nothing\, I tend to be more of an anime person
14:07:06 <Nothing\> there are times of the year where I spend literally every waking moment at night time because it's dark from like 5pm until 7am
14:07:56 <Nothing\> Vampera, I always liked the Portrayal in the 1987 movie "My Best Friend is a Vampire"
14:08:13 <Vampera> idk what my favorite portrayal of vampires is
14:08:16 <Nothing\> which had the guy who played the one doctor in House when he was like 16
14:08:19 <Vampera> in terms of rules and specifics
14:08:28 <Vampera> but my favorite vampire show/movie is Shiki
14:08:54 <Nothing\> Interview with a Vampire was pretty cool too. But it was more your typical romantic, baroque period type french sissy vampires
14:09:11 <Nothing\> but damn did Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise nail it
14:09:46 <Nothing\> the book/series had a lot more homosexual overtones
14:10:08 <Nothing\> It was uncomfortable
14:10:12 <Nothing\> for the 90s
14:10:48 <Nothing\> omg though Vampera
14:10:53 <Nothing\> it's good to talk to you
14:11:28 <Nothing\> literally everybody have become robots/NPCs if you know the meaning of the term
14:11:36 <Nothing\> ein uhrwerkmensch
14:11:52 <Nothing\> menchen?
14:12:08 <Vampera> sent you some recent pics of me
14:12:12 <Vampera> in a couple new outfits

19:46:09 <MrMobodies> Absolutely Disgusting. Another Rise.
19:46:22 <MrMobodies> They'd be happy with no rise
19:46:40 <MrMobodies> they'd only be happy with keep on rising and rising and rising
19:47:22 <MrMobodies> last year a new CEO joined Anglia water
19:48:45 <MrMobodies> "to pay for infrastructure upgrades" what infrastructure?
19:49:39 <MrMobodies> https://www.anglianwater.co.uk/news/board-succession-announcement-mark-thurston-to-be-appointed-as-anglian-water-chief-executive/
19:49:39 <EEVBot> [url] Board Succession Announcement | www.anglianwater.co.uk
19:49:50 <MrMobodies> "biggest infrastructure enhancements"
19:50:01 <MrMobodies> early this year
19:51:05 <MrMobodies> then this according to Archive was put up in February

19:51:42 <MrMobodies> and they want further rises
19:52:13 <MrMobodies> So it looks like the meters are the "infrastructure upgrades" they were taking about.
19:55:13 <MrMobodies> When there is a meter and resident charged by one after a year they can't go back and if a new occupant moves in they may not have a choice and not even in new build houses so very unfair. They probably only use less by being penalized through their water bill on the bonuses, dividents and shareholders so it's their usage no longer reflects the price of just the value they put on water.
19:57:23 <MrMobodies> They were putting up large water pipes in Wisbech but I see they have stalled
20:00:00 <MrMobodies> Removing the more expensive unmeasured rates (where meaured rates were suppose to be a fraction of that) then there'd be no comeptition or incentives to keep prices lower. They could raise the measured rates higher as high as they want. so It's no longer about the environment. It's about what they perceive as "the fairest way".
20:00:40 <MrMobodies> and that is a company banned from giving out bonuses
20:00:50 <MrMobodies> Do you think that is absolutely appalling?

22:11:27 <Nothing\> the future sucks
22:11:48 <Vampera> hi Nothing\
22:11:53 <Nothing\> ohai Vampera
22:12:12 <Nothing\> sorry bout earlier, internet crapped out and i had to get ready for bed anyways for the early morning
22:12:47 <Nothing\> waking up at this hour for me is like a normal person waking up at like midnight
22:13:40 <Nothing\> man i'm pissed
22:13:56 <rc-garage> on or off?
22:14:13 <Nothing\> off, for now
22:14:15 <Vampera> I fell asleep anyways
22:14:29 <Nothing\> i ordered a sisal scratching post for my cats. Which I like sisal because it's natural, so no microplastic shit and the fibers are easy to clean up
22:14:38 <Nothing\> i made damn sure it was sisal
22:15:44 <Nothing\> but they sent me this one wrapped in shitty nylon rope that was so frayed you coulda sworn it had already been used, with the frayed bits being really pokey and rough. Where sisal is soft and doesn't fray like that.
22:15:57 <Nothing\> mothefuckers are trying to castrate me and call it a handjob
22:16:19 <Nothing\> thankfully the return process seems easy enough
22:17:21 <Nothing\> the last thing I remember anyone returning was my friend returning his ORIGINAL XBox because of some common issue with it and having to pay out the ass for shipping and then waiting so long that the 360 was out and cheap enough to buy before he got it back
22:17:43 <Nothing\> oh Vampera
22:18:09 <Nothing\> i found a cd-r from god knows when that's part of Redhat 9
22:18:25 <Nothing\> because it came in a 3 iso set from linuxiso.org
22:18:33 <Nothing\> i also found a copy of mint linux
22:18:41 <Nothing\> remmeber when that was popular
22:19:08 <Nothing\> it's funny that going through my old CD/DVD spindle is as nostalgic as going through an old photo album
22:19:40 <Nothing\> i even found an AOL free trial CD. Man, how many bachelors in their early 20s got by on AOL dialup back in the 00s
22:20:14 <Nothing\> i'm gonna go talk to the cardinal in my back yard
22:20:34 <Nothing\> a little birdy told me little birdies are good for learning secrets
22:20:52 <Vampera> cool
22:21:01 <Vampera> I haven't burned linux to a CD in a hot minute
22:21:09 <Nothing\> haha me neither
22:21:10 <Vampera> it got kinda hard to find a distro that would even fit on one
22:21:19 <Vampera> I think archlinux still does
22:21:45 <Nothing\> i remember downloading redhat 7 on dialup as 3x 700mb isos. It took over a week. Thankfully I was spoiled and had a dedicated phone line for dialup
22:22:12 <Nothing\> the last time i tried linux was when everyone was swooning over ubuntu
22:22:54 <Nothing\> i used it with unity for 5 seconds and thought it was more like something Steve Jobs/Apple would shove down our throats than something becoming of a linux window manager
22:23:08 <Nothing\> window manager? X client? i have no clue what the right name is
22:24:02 <rc-garage> depends on what you mean, lol
22:24:14 <Nothing\> well i was talking about Unity on Ubuntu
22:24:26 <Vampera> Unity is gone
22:24:33 <Vampera> they use GNOME now I think
22:24:34 <Nothing\> or others, like KVM, gnome... windows manager
22:24:36 <Vampera> with their own fancy nonsense
22:24:39 <rc-garage> unity was a desktop environment, I think
22:24:57 <Nothing\> wait was KVM in that
22:25:01 <Nothing\> i remember one with a K
22:25:03 <Nothing\> KDE?
22:25:14 <Vampera> X is a display server standard. It's the standard for how applications connect to and draw GUIs on a linux/unix system.
22:25:21 <Nothing\> dangit what was gnome's rival
22:25:32 <Vampera> Xorg is the reference implementation that is used on pretty much everything not weird
22:25:40 <Vampera> Nothing\, KDE/Plasma
22:25:52 <Nothing\> that's what i thought. KVM is a switch
22:25:54 <Vampera> KVM is the kernel virtual machine, basically a hypervisor built into the linux kernel
22:25:56 <Nothing\> oh haha that reminds me
22:26:05 <Vampera> or KVM is also a keyboard/video/mouse switch
22:26:09 <Nothing\> I was looking at the less popular items on newegg the other day
22:26:18 <Nothing\> and they sell a friggin pill making kit
22:26:44 <Nothing\> made for filling gelcaps of all sizes with powder
22:27:38 <Nothing\> better than a pill press, I suppose. In legal terms. Most illicit operations seem to use a press over gelcaps. I guess it's easier to just squeeze em into little nuglets
22:28:49 <Nothing\> lol speaking of crime. There was a story in the news abotu how our local police made a WHOPPING TWENTY DUI busts in the entire month of August (city size of 110,000)
22:29:27 <Nothing\> then there was a story the next week saying that the crown (district attorney) has dropped over 250,000 traffic related offences in 2024
22:29:41 <Nothing\> and 360,000 since 2019
22:29:59 <Nothing\> so chances are, every one of those charges is getting tossed out
22:30:24 <Nothing\> some of it wasn't even petty stuff. A few were pedestrian hit and runs that left the victim crippled/maimed for life
22:30:34 * steve30 chomps on Vampera
22:30:40 * Vampera moans
22:30:59 <Nothing\> I guess our justice system is in such shambles that even our crown prosecutors don't have the funding/resources they need to do their job
22:31:33 <Nothing\> hey ho steve-o
22:31:40 <Nothing\> how go...es?
22:33:17 <Nothing\> it's sad when i go on Steam LOOKING for a game to buy, and after 30 minutes I can't find a thing
22:33:30 <Nothing\> i can find a few preorders but i learned my lesson on that
22:42:24 <rc-garage> you dont need more games
22:42:42 <Vampera> rc-garage, you don't need more beers
22:42:56 <rc-garage> mm, right
22:43:11 <rc-garage> I can not drink beer, so...
22:46:04 <steve30> i've accumulated quite a few £2 coins this last couple of weeks
23:06:06 <steve30> seriously, why does a website need to put a circle round my mouse pointer?
23:06:07 <steve30> t101.com
23:08:21 <Nothing\> rc-garage, you're right. I really don't need any more.
23:08:59 <Nothing\> truth be told, I buy them in a vain attempt to feel something positive but it never works
23:09:30 <Nothing\> it's very rarely as much fan as I expect it to be. But at least I'm learning not to fall into that trap
23:09:44 <Nothing\> after buying like 300 games over 5 years
23:09:56 * steve30 isn't very good at computer games
23:10:00 <Nothing\> at least 1/3 of which i haven't even played once
23:10:05 <rc-garage> try some of those you forgot you already have
23:10:24 <Nothing\> rc-garage, that's what I've been doing. And having a rather good time of it, at that.
23:11:18 <Nothing\> steve30, to each their own. I've played video games since I was old enough to hold a controller.
23:11:34 <Nothing\> the NES and Super Mario Bros was released like a month after i was born
23:11:51 * steve30 always liked Super mario
23:12:09 <Nothing\> but we had a commodore, an atari knockoff, an Adam computer, and some other stuff
23:12:20 <Nothing\> well before i was even born
23:12:30 <MrMobodies> Atari Knockoff?
23:12:31 <Nothing\> steve30, you can't go wrong with mario. Especially the classic 2d ones.
23:12:35 <MrMobodies> the one with the cartridges?
23:12:47 <Nothing\> nonono this was a 1970s vintage knockoff
23:13:01 <Nothing\> it had the functionality of an Atari, but had nothing to do with the company
23:13:08 <Nothing\> which, imagine that nowadays lol
23:13:11 <MrMobodies> the ones that had built in games?
23:13:29 <MrMobodies> and either had a composite output or rf aerial
23:13:36 <Nothing\> no it had the same functionality as an atari. Same hardware and everything. It used cartridges like any other.
23:13:36 <rc-garage> I never had any of those game things. well, I had a gameboy color, but that was in 2003 or 4
23:13:40 <steve30> I have a Gameboy but I prefer to use an emulator on the computer as the bigger screen is much easier to see
23:13:47 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, it was literally just an atari 2600 with another name
23:13:53 <MrMobodies> I use to have an Atari 1040ste
23:13:57 <MrMobodies> not pleased with it
23:13:57 <Nothing\> the "Gemini"
23:14:07 <MrMobodies> full of games games games and that's it
23:14:11 <MrMobodies> I did like a few
23:14:16 <MrMobodies> but it sounded great
23:14:22 <Nothing\> yeah atari games haven't really aged that well, tbh
23:14:24 <MrMobodies> I mean the synthesizer
23:14:25 <Nothing\> and i used to love them
23:14:36 <Nothing\> there are a few that are a lot of fun to play still
23:14:48 <Nothing\> ahh dammit
23:14:55 <Nothing\> the squirrel's at the door wanting food
23:15:04 <Nothing\> lol she's literally begging like a dog would
23:15:13 <Nothing\> and has tits bigger than dolly parton
23:15:17 <MrMobodies> I dad's friend soldered on this Motorola processor onto it
23:15:29 <MrMobodies> and there was this MSDOS floppy
23:15:39 <MrMobodies> normall it would emulator but with that installed
23:15:45 <MrMobodies> and you could run stuff quick
23:15:53 <MrMobodies> I can't remember the name of it now
23:16:20 <MrMobodies> PC dittor
23:16:24 <MrMobodies> oops Pc Ditto
23:16:40 <MrMobodies> we had this Golf game
23:16:44 <MrMobodies> and it took 5 minutes to load on it

23:18:19 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, you ever watch any of the classic 80s british comedies
23:18:39 <Nothing\> young ones, bottom, black adder, fry and laurie, stuff like that
23:18:47 <MrMobodies> Not in the 80's and I could understand them even when I was 10
23:18:58 <MrMobodies> but I did like some of them in the 2000's
23:18:59 <Nothing\> lol i love them
23:19:04 <MrMobodies> I mean ht e80's stuff
23:19:09 <Nothing\> and shows like bottom, there's nothing to understand
23:19:10 <MrMobodies> Kenny Everett for example
23:19:16 <Nothing\> just senseless violence
23:19:22 <Nothing\> and lots of screaming
23:19:34 <MrMobodies> "I was down the park the other day, feeding the pigdeons............ to my cat"
23:19:48 <rc-garage> guest house paradiso. that was a thing
23:19:55 <Nothing\> that reminds me of another joke i heard once
23:19:56 <MrMobodies> that one was one my favourite quote
23:20:16 <Nothing\> "my grandfather died in Auschwitz. He fell out of a guard tower."
23:20:55 <MrMobodies> oh
23:21:02 <MrMobodies> what a shame

23:21:06 <MrMobodies> That's the thing he had
23:21:19 <MrMobodies> he had a hard disk too that plugged into his Atari
23:22:24 <MrMobodies> Nothing i didn't get the joke sorry
23:23:01 <MrMobodies> Granfather dies in Auschwitz, he fell out of a guard tower
23:23:23 <MrMobodies> Now, I don't understand the joke, was he a guard of a prisoner.
23:23:35 <MrMobodies> that's stops me understanding I can't tell which
23:23:52 <Nothing\> lol the squirrel's tapping on the damn window
23:24:19 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, it's all good, MrMobodies =)
23:24:41 <Nothing\> just look at the nuissance-squirrel

23:25:34 * steve30 pets the squirrel
23:26:23 <Nothing\> or have you ever seen a squirrel with tits?
23:26:25 <Nothing\> https://i.ibb.co/MDbcT3kP/20251009-081616.jpg
23:26:45 <steve30> no, but i guess it makes sense that they have them
23:26:49 <Nothing\> steve30, she's a chubby momma. I dunno why they always have babies just before winter though
23:27:13 <Nothing\> steve30, just when pregnant but yeah you just don't think about these things that should be common sense
23:27:48 <MrMobodies> It wants to say hello
23:27:57 <steve30> i should probably have a shower and go to bed
23:28:01 <Nothing\> it's like the argentinian lake duck. During mating season, its penis grows to about 1.5x the length of its entire body, making it the largest penis relative to the animal's size in the world
23:28:02 <MrMobodies> and a friendly visitor
23:28:05 <steve30> the computer screen isn't doing my eyes any good
23:28:18 <MrMobodies> Steve30 you got a cold?
23:28:26 <MrMobodies> I was ill last night, felt like vommitting
23:28:30 <steve30> nope, i just look at a computer too much
23:28:33 <MrMobodies> and had like 14 hours of sleep
23:28:43 <steve30> ouch
23:44:25 <Nothing\> i hate nausea
23:44:48 <Nothing\> i used to vomit and it wouldn't faze me at all. I'd be walking along and start puking and just keep walking as I puked.
23:45:54 <Nothing\> Or playing guitar hero when it was popular, drinking with my friends, I threw in mid-song, but I kept playing as I threw up. Barely skipping a beat... then I took off my pants and used them to try (key word) to wipe up the vomit
23:46:09 <Nothing\> nowadays, it's so painful it's terrifying
23:46:27 <Nothing\> all I can do is lie on the floor vomiting as i may
23:46:41 <Nothing\> actually i believe the medical term they use for what i do is "scromiting"
23:46:48 <Nothing\> a portmanteau of scream and vomit
23:46:59 <Vampera> cracking toast, scromit
23:47:00 <Nothing\> it's bloody loud
23:47:12 <Nothing\> lol yeah i feel like scromit is from something
23:47:18 <Nothing\> wallace and scromit?
23:47:19 <Nothing\> lol
23:47:55 <Nothing\> post man pat post man pat post man pat and his black and white cat
