00:13:40 <Nothing\> i wonder if my insurance would cover massages as part of my physiotherapy when I get this implant out sometime around christmas
00:14:11 <Nothing\> if they were willing to cover friggin accupuncture for my mum, they probably cover massages
00:14:59 <rust_collector> because you want someone to knead your void. ok
00:15:11 <Nothing\> i really do
00:15:19 <Nothing\> lol
00:15:28 <rust_collector> I want someone to film, lol

00:16:01 <Nothing\> i considered getting a "Special" massage when i lived in a place that had a parlour, but I had no clue what you tip for something like that
00:16:17 <Nothing\> i figured $50 or $100
00:16:44 <Nothing\> lol i've been propositioned by hookers several times. Or more likely a drug addict down on their luck.
00:17:32 <Nothing\> or the best was when i was coming out of city hall in a nice 3 piece suit after doing some business down there. Right in front of the place some guy asks me if I know where to get crack.
00:17:45 <Nothing\> I'm like, uhh do I look like I know?
00:18:20 <rust_collector> oh, you know drug things...
00:18:36 <Nothing\> i understand the desperation of asking random strangers, i've been there myself. But you use discretion lol.
00:18:52 <Nothing\> lol i shoulda sold him a piece of drywall
00:18:54 <rust_collector> what happens, if you put those weird mushrooms in vodka?
00:19:05 <Nothing\> that's a good question
00:19:35 <rust_collector> I think they sort of counteract the effect of eachother a bit, so...
00:19:39 <Nothing\> presumably the alkaloids would dissolve into it and you'd have what my old community used to call "psybooze"
00:19:57 <Nothing\> except their psybooze was the active ingredient in cough syrup, which is like a poor man's ketamine
00:20:18 <Nothing\> rust_collector, you're absolutely right
00:22:08 <Nothing\> gabaergic drugs such as alcohol, benzos, valium, xanax, barbiturates, etc nullify the effects of psychedelic hallucinogens like tryptamines (lsd, dmt, psilocybin mushrooms, etc) or phenethylamines (mescaline... not sure if there are any other popular phens that are psychoactive but like, 2ci, 2cb, bromodragonfly, etc
00:22:45 <Nothing\> lessens the hallucinations and the distinct mental state it puts you in and just nullifies the effects in general
00:23:30 <Nothing\> or from what i understand, antipsychotics do as well. I recall thorazine was the gold standard for somebody having a bad acid trip back in the 60s
00:24:28 <Nothing\> but benzos would work better, and safer. There are some psychoactives where antipsychotics can cause a severe and potentially fatal potentiation of the effects rather than nullification
00:29:26 <Nothing\> https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMicm1313857

00:29:38 <Nothing\> Femoral-Head Dislocation to the Scrotum
00:29:53 <Nothing\> this is why doctors always say they'll never ride a motorcycle
00:47:28 <Nothing\> lol i have a little Canadian flag in my garden. There's this little girl, maybe 2 or 3 years old. Every time she walks past with her mum, she makes her mum stop and sing o'Canada in front of it.
00:48:40 <Nothing\> i'm gonna give her a pin next time. Encourage that patriotism that's so rare in Canadians until Trump started started talking smack.
00:49:39 <Nothing\> it's such a stark contrast to the US, but with their history of revolt against the English, having a strong and independent culture with strong patriotism makes sense.
00:50:57 <rust_collector> they should be happy they are not french?

20:56:39 <Ampera> I won't be here for long
20:56:43 <Ampera> but I heard people might have missed me
20:56:48 <Ampera> so I'm dropping in briefly to say hi
20:56:55 <rc_garage> hey!
20:57:42 <Ampera> sup rc_garage
20:57:44 <Ampera> how are things
20:57:46 * Ampera boops K
20:57:55 * Ampera glomps arch
20:58:27 <rc_garage> things are... ok. I have my first vacation this year. next week also.
20:58:37 <Ampera> I just got off my vacation
20:58:39 <Ampera> I drove to chicago
20:58:50 <Ampera> bought a new dashcam right before, so I got a cool timelapse of it
20:59:14 <rc_garage> mkay... chicago... did you get their version of pizza?
20:59:27 <Ampera> yes
20:59:44 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/nBLbCYCkTJxBdoc/preview
20:59:52 <rc_garage> and you are still able to talk about it. I guess it was ok then
20:59:53 <Ampera> was really good
20:59:56 <Ampera> and also insanely expensive
21:00:41 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/6sqZqjb7WTXiKYg/preview
21:00:46 <Ampera> I also bought a new camera
21:00:48 <Ampera> somewhat recently
21:00:57 <Ampera> my first real digital camera
21:01:11 <K> holla Ampera
21:01:18 <K> is do nominally?
21:01:23 * Ampera hugs K
21:01:24 <rc_garage> that looks serious.
21:01:24 <Ampera> I am ok
21:01:32 <Ampera> still waking up a bit
21:02:15 <K> ew it is a sony.
21:02:23 <K> didn't thake you for a pervert, Ampera
21:02:28 <Ampera> lmao
21:02:34 <Ampera> it's a sony because my prior camera was a minolta
21:02:40 <Ampera> and I am only a pervert for birds
21:03:00 <rc_garage> it is one of those that you hide in a bush to use, I think.
21:03:14 <K> you have to buy the bush too though
21:03:22 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/AKTNHyC2pr6XzNQ/preview
21:03:28 <rc_garage> maybe a shrubbery

21:04:14 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/zFxw5tijamgYzBG/preview
21:04:31 <K> (free bird starts play in background)
21:04:34 <Ampera> lol
21:04:57 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/ronwJjiasFG7SAL/preview I also got a new gas griddle
21:05:03 <Ampera> and have been cooking fun things on it
21:05:08 <Ampera> marinated chicken and fried rice
21:05:21 <rc_garage> do you have a yellow and black version of that blue bird?
21:05:55 <Ampera> I don't have yellow and black, but I do have a red and black
21:06:19 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/f7TNYDnXF2JcsnT/preview
21:06:20 <rc_garage> I think we have a version of that blue one, just in yellow.
21:06:34 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/RRDcccxjcBSeiE4/preview I also have a robin
21:06:52 <rc_garage> no batman? yes I know...
21:07:14 <rc_garage> where is my coat?
21:07:21 <electrohead> !tea Ampera
21:07:21 * EEVBot dunks Ampera in a cup of screaming hot water
21:07:25 <Ampera> fuck off
21:07:32 <electrohead> Mmm, spicy
21:07:37 <electrohead> And, come make me
21:07:41 <Ampera> cya
21:07:42 Part: Ampera ([email protected]) from #EEVblog (Konversation terminated!)
21:07:46 <electrohead> LOL
21:07:49 <rc_garage> ok
21:07:57 <electrohead> that's just amazing
21:08:05 <electrohead> I do the tea thing to be cool ..
21:11:30 <electrohead> well, apparently it was hot tea, lol
21:16:11 <K> eh, i turn away for a minute and this happens?
21:16:18 * electrohead shrugs
21:16:18 <EEVBot> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
21:16:24 <electrohead> fuck me for trying to be nice
21:16:31 <K> !tea electrohead
21:16:31 * EEVBot tea-bags electrohead
21:16:44 <electrohead> <3
21:20:14 <Ysjoelfir> Did I miss something important?
21:21:59 <electrohead> Not sure?
21:29:03 * Ysjoelfir hugs electrohead
21:29:06 <Ysjoelfir> can I have a tea?
21:31:24 <electrohead> !tea Ysjoelfir
21:31:24 * EEVBot hands Ysjoelfir a cup o' tea
21:31:44 * Ysjoelfir bows and cheers to electrohead and everyone else
21:32:54 <electrohead> I now have an actual hatred for that person. Never in my life have I felt so strange and divided over a person as such; sometimes time is supposed to heal things, this is a generalistic statement. I was literally in the middle of typing out "How have you been? How is life?" just to be told to fuck off
21:32:58 <electrohead> Like, ok?
21:34:09 <electrohead> Annnnywho, I'm not here to be an asshole or a PoS, I'd rather be decent and have actual intelligent conversation, at a minimum abuse the bot to break the ice
21:34:20 * electrohead fucks off back to his hole
21:41:23 * Ysjoelfir wanted to say that he reaches into electrohead 's hole to pull him back out, but that would be a bit nasty, so he just pulls him out without fondling his hole
21:41:36 <electrohead> lmfao
21:41:41 * electrohead runs
21:41:46 <Ysjoelfir> But, yes, I understand exactly what you meant. that was very childish
21:42:12 <electrohead> !caffeine Ysjoelfir
21:42:12 * EEVBot runs off with the .. stuff
21:42:20 <electrohead> speaking of abusing the bot
21:42:24 <electrohead> !roflcopter

21:44:36 <electrohead> for quite some time, now
21:44:38 <electrohead> lol
21:44:59 <electrohead> I think the help is currently broke (just need to update and fix one small thing)

21:45:50 <electrohead> !reeb Ysjoelfir
21:45:50 <EEVBot> NOTHING IS OPPOSITE OF BEER
21:45:55 <electrohead> I do remember that one
21:46:10 <Ysjoelfir> though I should tell my client to add the name every time, otherwise it looks funky, lol
21:46:12 <electrohead> oh, and every time you say the word towel, the bot attacks you lol
21:46:12 * EEVBot ninja smothers electrohead with a towel! https://0xznc01.pw:2600/x/tf.jpg
