02:28:00 <JedStar> Hey Hey
15:28:00 <e|f> hello :D
15:33:00 <HellFury> theres trouble
15:38:00 <e|f> crazy the world is right now what with corona virus
15:38:00 <e|f> i hope everyone here is safe and remains so
15:39:00 <HellFury> so far so good
15:39:00 <e|f> WHO data indicates currently there is about 5500 infections, 600 recoveries and 30 deaths of corona virus in australia
15:41:00 <HellFury> true
15:41:00 <e|f> and eh, i read earlier the wet markets (where bats and the like are sold for eating; probable origin of corona) were at one point closed recently but have since been re-opened
15:43:00 <HellFury> :S
15:43:00 <e|f> yep
15:44:00 <HellFury> *reaches under table and pats the head bonker
15:47:00 <e|f> scientists are scrambling to find a vaccine; it will all be over soon enough
15:49:00 <e|f> so humbug
15:50:00 <o_> ah
15:50:00 <e|f> you cannot contract corona virus from the beer or your pets
15:50:00 <e|f> :D
15:51:00 <o_> exponential growth
15:51:00 <o_> 2.3:1 infection ratio
15:54:00 <e|f> if ya go out into the open world, wear a fucking mask and wash ya hands frequently with soap and warm water
15:54:00 <o_> 5500 can turn into 3 million in about 10 days
15:54:00 <o_> do you gargle with mouthwash when you come back home?
15:54:00 <e|f> the growth is like considering a chess board - 64 squares; put one grain of rice on the first square, two on second, four on third, eight on fourth, etc etc
15:54:00 <o_> do you use a P2 or N95 mask?
15:54:00 <o_> do you change your mask every day?
15:54:00 <o_> no you don't, because you can't buy them
15:54:00 <e|f> by the time you get to square 64, you gots lots and lots of rice, rly
15:54:00 <e|f> i cover myself in petrol when i come home and light myself up to kill the bacteria
15:54:00 <e|f> just to be safe, ya know
15:54:00 <o_> video proof
15:56:00 <President_Trump> HellFury https://media.thedonald.win/thedonald/post/Bybo05gR.jpeg
15:56:00 <e|f> i'm more worried about passing it on to those i care about than myself
15:56:00 <e|f> i'm reasonably healthy and young - but the virus has shown it's capabale of killing such people anyway
15:56:00 <e|f> capable too
15:56:00 <o_> the big worry is that exponential growth is faster than the rate of new ventilators
15:56:00 <e|f> yea
15:56:00 <President_Trump> she'll be right mate
15:56:00 <o_> if the number of people needing breathing help is less than the number of ventilators, it's under control
15:56:00 <o_> they doubled the ventilator count
15:56:00 <o_> they might have enough money to triple it
15:56:00 <e|f> i'm pretty reclusive anyway so being isolated doesn't bother me too much
15:56:00 <o_> that's linear growth
15:56:00 <e|f> but i have my eagle eye on friends and family
15:56:00 <President_Trump> at least you dont need toilet paper e|f
15:57:00 <o_> that's what pets are for
15:57:00 <e|f> toilet paper is gold
15:57:00 <o_> especially cats, lick themselves clean
15:57:00 <e|f> toilet paper is practically legal tender, eh
15:59:00 <e|f> everyone needs to invest in a bidet if they're really worried about toilet paper, eheh
16:01:00 <o_> woke up at 2am
16:02:00 <o_> pressed the sleep button on the radio
16:02:00 <o_> I mean, at 3am
16:02:00 <o_> the radio person says, it's 2am again, same as an hour ago
16:03:00 <e|f> true
16:03:00 <President_Trump> !seen HellFury
16:03:00 <StatsOP> President_Trump, HellFury is right here!
16:03:00 <President_Trump> hey hun
16:04:00 <e|f> all the clocks go back one hour today but those who live by phone and computer clocks need not worry as the time servers for those such devices will adjust accordingly
16:04:00 <e|f> so ya living in the past
16:05:00 <e|f> and those who lack punctuality need not worry - you thought you were an hour late for that business but actually you were bang on time
16:10:00 <e|f> they have the stimulus packages coming through for disadvantaged people so i guess the sale of flat screen tvs and the like will skyrocket
16:10:00 <o_> if every clock in your home is connected to the internet
16:10:00 <o_> surveillance!
16:11:00 <e|f> what about tvs connected to terrestrial - they will auto update too without interweb
16:11:00 <o_> the DAB2 radio gets the time from the broadcast signal
16:11:00 <e|f> yea
16:11:00 <o_> I presume the TVs do too
16:11:00 <e|f> yup
16:12:00 <o_> the microwave has to be set manually
16:12:00 <o_> and the old clock radio
16:12:00 <o_> and usually the wristwatch, but it's waiting for a new battery
16:12:00 <e|f> what about wristwatches with automatic or manual movements
16:13:00 <e|f> wind them or movement activated
16:13:00 <o_> they still exist?
16:13:00 <e|f> of course they do
16:16:00 <e|f> if not, just set the hour hand to 10 (pm), the minute hand to 2 (pm), the seconds hand to 6 (pm) and be happy with the pleasing aesthetic symmetry
16:16:00 <e|f> it will be that time twice in one day
16:17:00 <o_> https://www.amazon.com/LUCH-Mechanical-Wristwatch-Strap-015236757/dp/B07VV6TJJY
16:17:00 <o_> a one-handed mechanical windup
16:18:00 <e|f> what did Einstein say, eh - I do not know what weapons will be used in the third world war, but in the forth - rocks!
16:19:00 <e|f> something like that anyway, disputed quote but interesting nonetheless
16:21:00 <o_> einstein rarely wrote, so there are very few einstein quotes which can be reliably sourced
16:21:00 <e|f> yep
16:22:00 <o_> he spoke to schools a lot
16:22:00 <e|f> he is a symbol of genius and as such there are loads of quotes (not by him) along with his classic mad scientist image floating around on the internet
16:23:00 <e|f> i think there was a book published on his verifiable quotes by princeton at some point
16:23:00 <e|f> maybe 1980s 1990s
16:30:00 <e|f> yeah
16:30:00 <e|f> it's called the Quotable Einstein
16:30:00 <e|f> 1996 it says
16:31:00 <e|f> The Quotable Einstein is a complete compendium of quotes from the great physicist, organized thematically, usefully indexed, and thorough in its inclusion and documentation of attributed material, sources, and dates. As a resource for the Einstein scholar or hardcore fan, The Quotable Einstein will prove invaluable. As a book for browsing, it puts the profound thoughts of Einstein on topics scientific and spiritual beside the mundane mutterings of
16:31:00 <e|f> any normal biped. This juxtaposition emphasizes both the man's unique genius and his common humanity.
16:32:00 <e|f> Publisher: Princeton University Press (September 16, 1996)
16:32:00 <e|f> etc etc
16:37:00 <e|f> and one his quotes "Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler"
16:38:00 <e|f> so i guess they oughta change the date from 'Sept. 16, 1996' to '16 Sept. 1996'
16:38:00 <e|f> but it's american so there you go
16:59:00 <e|f> so i'm gunna develop a drug to both cure male pattern baldness and erectile dysfunction
16:59:00 <e|f> imma call it Viagradol
17:00:00 <e|f> or Minoxogra
17:00:00 <e|f> hahaha
17:01:00 <HellFury> :S
17:01:00 <HellFury> idiot went to put compost bin just assembled in a spot in new garden
17:01:00 <HellFury> idiot walks into a damn spider web and did the moon walk while throwing both phone and bin on ground
17:02:00 <e|f> it would be a non-harmful spider in this country
17:03:00 <HellFury> old house mate knows
17:03:00 <e|f> funnel webs and red backs build their webs close to the ground
17:03:00 <HellFury> i think shes a garden one
17:03:00 <e|f> yep
17:03:00 <HellFury> john said that the females are bigger
17:03:00 <HellFury> still thou
17:03:00 <HellFury> i hate spiders
17:03:00 <HellFury> no matter the size
17:03:00 <HellFury> so i almost had a heart attack walking into it
17:04:00 <e|f> only ones with lingering bites requiring attention are funnels, reds, and white tails
17:04:00 <e|f> none of those there
17:04:00 <HellFury> i think bro has a clear pic of it
17:05:00 <e|f> probably one of those beautiful orb weaving spiders (harmless)
17:05:00 <e|f> relatively
17:05:00 <HellFury> i remember John picked up a spider and held it near me
17:06:00 <HellFury> hes lucky i didn't smack his head in
17:06:00 <e|f> lol
17:06:00 <HellFury> i'm mild arachnophobic
17:06:00 <HellFury> so you come near me big or small with a spider
17:06:00 <HellFury> i will run
17:06:00 <e|f> i'm phobiaphobic (the fear of phobias)
17:06:00 <e|f> :P
17:07:00 <HellFury> my baby bro used to put spiders down my shirt and squash them
17:07:00 <e|f> lol
17:07:00 <HellFury> ironically his 3 girls now are petrified of them
17:07:00 <HellFury> he got bit by one too so lesson learned
17:07:00 <e|f> yea
17:10:00 <President_Trump> STOP THE SPREAD
17:11:00 <e|f> donald trump won't wear a mask
17:11:00 <e|f> what do you think of that
17:11:00 <President_Trump> why would he
17:11:00 <HellFury> we were so busy starting march 26- April 3 moving cleaning and then i spend 3 days with the gardener on monday, tuesday was a open house at te other place and thursday bond cleaners i haven't completely wound down
17:11:00 <e|f> he might rule the world but he's still vulnerable like anyone else
17:12:00 <President_Trump> hes not catching the subway
17:12:00 <HellFury> https://imgur.com/lxuYlCB
17:13:00 <e|f> eh the virus doesn't discriminate
17:13:00 <HellFury> one of those webs i walked into lol and moon walked
17:13:00 <e|f> yeah that spider is harmless from a toxicity perspective
17:13:00 <HellFury> yeah still a big one though enough for my hair to turn white when i saw it
17:14:00 <e|f> yep
17:15:00 <HellFury> Nephilia genus
17:15:00 <HellFury> or
17:15:00 <HellFury> Golden silk orb-weavers
17:15:00 <HellFury> you were right
17:15:00 <e|f> :D
17:15:00 <HellFury> big as she is
17:16:00 <HellFury> i'd say thats the female
17:16:00 <HellFury> the males are smaller
17:16:00 <HellFury> good to know
17:16:00 <HellFury> Orb weavers are reluctant to bite
17:17:00 <HellFury> huntmans are my pet hate
17:17:00 <HellFury> wish one would bite trumps nose
17:17:00 <e|f> one time i opened the sliding door to the garage and noticed a bunch of tiny spiders crawling up my arm. the next day or whatever i went to investigate. recently pregnant red back found there by the skirting board
17:18:00 <e|f> cringe material
17:19:00 <e|f> we have our share of poisonous critters in this country
17:20:00 <e|f> i've lived here 20 years and have seen a sydney funnel once
17:22:00 <e|f> and there is the mouse spider (looks very much like a funnel but lacks the venom)
17:23:00 <e|f> https://www.rentokil.com.au/blog/dangerous-spiders-in-australia/
17:24:00 <e|f> Funnel web spiders can be quite aggressive when threatened. The Sydney Funnel Web Spider is one of the world’s most deadly spiders as they carry one of the most dangerous toxins. They burrow in humid sheltered places and are known to enter homes when looking for a mate.
17:25:00 <e|f> guess the one i saw inside was looking for a sheila. should've tried the pub instead
17:31:00 <HellFury> :S
17:31:00 <HellFury> bloody cat
17:32:00 <HellFury> she knows we have wooden floors
17:32:00 <HellFury> so she runs around
17:32:00 <HellFury> all you can hear is her paw thuds
17:32:00 <e|f> haha
17:33:00 <HellFury> and she will do that for a good hour after we go to bed
17:33:00 <HellFury> run in
17:33:00 <HellFury> run down the hall way
17:33:00 <HellFury> run back out
17:33:00 <HellFury> run back in
17:33:00 <HellFury> skids to a stop
17:33:00 <HellFury> i sit there itching my head at Dara
17:33:00 <HellFury> Sara even
17:34:00 <e|f> if you videoed that it might go viral
17:34:00 <HellFury> i got a vid of the black cat yesterday bouncing on shade cloth
17:34:00 <HellFury> that covers car
17:34:00 <HellFury> chasing 4 geckos
17:35:00 <HellFury> we changed her name to bouncy
17:35:00 <e|f> lol
17:35:00 <HellFury> she used to be a outside cat now she sleeps inside
17:35:00 <e|f> you've domesticated her
17:36:00 <HellFury> other house we were in a small space and small room mostly
17:36:00 <HellFury> so she had no chance of getting much love unless i went out back
17:36:00 <HellFury> here though
17:36:00 <HellFury> open and airy
17:36:00 <e|f> yea
17:37:00 <HellFury> so now Pixie decided she was a inside cat 3 yrs
17:37:00 <HellFury> and back to sleeping in house again
17:37:00 <e|f> is landlord lax on how many pets you have
17:37:00 <HellFury> RTA i think is 2
17:38:00 <e|f> yea
17:38:00 <HellFury> but we could sneak in a 3rd
17:38:00 <e|f> exactly
17:38:00 <e|f> nobody would mind
17:38:00 <HellFury> nope but the two cats i got here would kick a stink
17:38:00 <e|f> yeah true
17:38:00 <HellFury> Sara is 10
17:38:00 <HellFury> whereas Pixie is 6
17:40:00 <e|f> they are part of the family, after all
17:55:00 <e|f> ok phriends and phoes
