[07:53:05] * Soybull wanders into the china closet out of curiosity
[08:16:56] <FatPhil> Soybull: I own the domain asdf.org - I get 9999 scam emails per fucking day. I've not noticed anything increase!
[08:17:46] <FatPhil> it's almost as if when faced with an "email address" box on a form, people just strum their fingers on the keyboard in boredom.
[08:18:54] <Soybull> lol - I was just wondering, my spam filters work pretty good, when I see one, I have to wonder
[08:19:51] <FatPhil> My spam filters are about 99.9% efficient. You do the maths...
[08:21:33] <FatPhil> 99.8% is more accurate. My mail server is doing something every few seconds, and I get about 20-30 in my inbox per day.
[08:21:54] <FatPhil> Do I regret buying the domain? No fucking way!
[08:25:23] <boru> I suppose you have to get your jollies any way you can in quarantine.

[08:57:15] <chromas> Of course you don't see an increase. You're maxed out at 9999
[09:01:03] <FatPhil> boru: I only went to 2 bars and one restaurant yesterday. Loving this quarantine thing!
[09:01:39] <janrinok> I saw a person - from afar of course - yesterday. You can imagine my excitement!
[09:02:41] <FatPhil> Did you shoot him?
[09:02:48] <FatPhil> He could have been a looter
[09:02:59] <janrinok> fortunately, we have a pair of Robins that have started nesting. Do you know how many pieces of grass it takes to build a nest? Bloody thousands apparently...
[09:03:29] <janrinok> I was a 'her' and she wasn't carrying any TP - hardly worth the effort
[09:04:09] <FatPhil> Yup, after the apocalypse, females will be valuable for regenerating the species. You made the right decision.
[09:04:41] <janrinok> I think she was past the stage that I would consider her for regeneration - but maybe she has a family...

[09:06:30] <janrinok> agile? - I can only just remain seated
[09:07:00] <boru> Not agile enough. Please work on your enthusiasm this sprint, or you will be sent for reconditioning.
[09:07:13] <janrinok> a beautiful sunny day here - the only thing outside enjoying it is CoronaVirus apparently
[09:07:43] <FatPhil> Anyone caught interfering with collection of coronavirus WILL BE SHOT/
[09:07:52] <janrinok> can I look over your shoulder while you type the code?
[09:08:53] <boru> Only remotely. Phil will have to mount a webcam on his shoulder.
[09:09:49] <boru> It's nice out here as well, though the weather is a bit bananas at the moment; +20C last week, -6C this week.
[09:10:18] <boru> Which bot does weather again?
[09:10:23] <boru> ~weather Munich
[09:10:23] <janrinok> FP - could you live stream your restaurant visit today, in particular the beer drinking?

[09:10:44] <boru> #weather Munich --use-real-units
[09:10:46] <MrPlow> Could not get geo coordinates for 'Munich --use-real-units'.
[09:10:51] <boru> Feh.
[09:11:56] <janrinok> perhaps it wants Muenchen or even the umlaut?
[09:12:30] <boru> It got the right one, but it's using silly units.
[09:12:45] <chromas> Damn percentages
[09:12:45] <boru> Rankin, or whatever those silly units are.
[09:12:59] <janrinok> oh, do people still use those.... (giggles to himself)
[09:13:40] <janrinok> mph, Fahrenheit
[09:13:46] <boru> _Some_ people do. "We're independent, but still use the units of our former oppressors"
[09:14:11] <janrinok> not if you don't pay the taxes due for using them - make up your own units!
[09:14:46] <janrinok> gtg afk 30mins
[09:21:27] <FatPhil> janrinok: I can live tweet the beer drinking, I'm not hi-tech enough for video
[09:22:16] <FatPhil> boru: don't believe the Réaumurs
[09:24:40] <FatPhil> was quite a heavy night last night. Pub basically said "when we close, anything in kegs gets poured down the drains".
[09:25:03] <FatPhil> People were bringing 5L water bottles for take-away.
[09:25:22] <boru> Rough. I wouldn't drink there if they refered to me as "the drain".
[09:26:13] <chromas> Can you just borrow the kegs?
[09:27:51] <boru> That's what the pubs do.
[09:28:00] <boru> Full kegs come in, empty kegs go back.
[09:28:12] <boru> Hence emptying them.
[09:28:25] <boru> At least for properly made beer that doesn't have all of tha preservative bullshit in it.
[09:33:37] <FatPhil> not any more, keykegs are disposable
[09:33:55] <FatPhil> because there's not enough plastic waste in the world presently.
[09:34:25] <FatPhil> #PagingGreta
[09:34:44] <boru> I haven't heard of those or seen them.
[09:35:01] <boru> A lot of places still use wooden kegs here.
[09:35:09] <FatPhil> Germany will first see them some time around 2150, I guess.
[09:35:10] <boru> And they tap them the old way with brass taps.
[09:35:27] <boru> So around the time the rest of the world will start making real beer?
[09:35:40] <FatPhil> I've been to Cologne and Dusseldorf, I've seen the casks.
[09:35:59] <FatPhil> g/f nearly got run over by a replacement barrel in Dusseldorf.
[09:36:13] <boru> Ah, Outer Bavaria. I wouldn't know. I don't associate with the peasants.
[09:36:27] <FatPhil> Hahah!
[09:36:43] <FatPhil> Still not been to Bavaria, was looking forward to a trip there some time soon.
[09:36:44] * boru gallops away on his Alpine high horse.
[09:36:51] <FatPhil> maybe the year after next.
[09:37:09] <FatPhil> I've seen the Swabian alps, they're nearly as good, right?
[09:37:10] <boru> Give me a shout if you do. I'll take you to a few local haunts.
[09:37:37] <FatPhil> Definitely.
[09:38:20] <boru> Some places went ahead with the Starkesbier festivals, and caused a severe covid outbreak and are now under army curfew.
[09:38:29] <boru> Silly billies.
[09:39:01] <FatPhil> actions have consequences.
[09:39:11] <boru> But at least the Gretränkemärkt are still open.
[09:39:51] <FatPhil> CAMRA's cancelled all BFs in Britain until at least late summer.
[09:39:51] <boru> Getränkemärkte, even.
[09:40:03] <boru> Well, nothing of value is lost.
[09:40:09] <FatPhil> boo hisss!
[09:40:14] * boru chuckles.,
[09:40:32] <FatPhil> Had a very good lager last night. Wrote in my review "almost as good as a bitter"
[09:41:05] <boru> Ha ha
[09:41:19] <FatPhil> If you like your lagers, and feel like exploring eastern Europe, I highly recommend Lithuania.
[09:41:49] <FatPhil> They have an almost unique barley strain which makes the most delightful malty lagers.
[09:42:55] <boru> Malty I like, but lagers I don't.
[09:42:57] <FatPhil> Oooh, one of the brewpubs here, after 10 years of selling the same 7 beers, has finally added a new beer to the list - a rauch!
[09:43:02] <boru> Helles is about as close to lager as I get.
[09:43:28] <FatPhil> Helles is pretty much the definition of lager! (don't let the czechs hear me say that)
[09:43:43] <boru> Or Nord Deutschland.
[09:44:12] <boru> And for Helles, I tend to go for Augustiner.
[09:44:21] <boru> Not for weiß though.
[09:44:31] <FatPhil> Everything from Augustiner is excellent, including the hefeweisse.
[09:44:48] <boru> Well, there are some better weiß out there.
[09:44:55] <FatPhil> Ayinger is right up therre
[09:45:03] <FatPhil> Urweisse - wow!
[09:45:14] <boru> Yeah, that's interesting.
[09:45:52] <boru> Hefe is probably my go to, but on a hot Summer's day, a hoibe of Helles hits the spot.
[09:45:57] <FatPhil> Pretty much my favourite brewery in the world is Heller, from Bamberg. You might know their "Schlenkerla" brand.
[09:47:20] <boru> Doesn't ring a bell.
[09:47:27] <FatPhil> It took me ~15 years away from the UK to appreciate lager, but I'm so glad my eyes are now opened.
[09:47:42] <FatPhil> All their beers (like much from Bamberg) are smoked.
[09:48:05] <FatPhil> "Bacon beer"
[09:48:37] <boru> I like Franziskaner Hefe on draught, if I can get it.
[09:49:02] <boru> Not as nice out of the bottles, naturally.
[09:49:34] <FatPhil> NEver had it draught, one of my favourites in bottle. Erdinger too.
[09:49:57] <FatPhil> Do you do dunkelweisses? Erdinger's probably my favourite.
[09:52:06] <FatPhil> the only kraut muck we can get on tap here is Paulaner, which is perfectly serviceable.
[09:52:45] <boru> Yeah, some of them are alright.
[09:53:03] <boru> The only thing I like from Paulaner is Spezi.
[09:54:02] <FatPhil> Don't know Spezi
[09:54:54] <boru> I didn't either until I moved here. It's basically a mix of fanta and coke.
[09:55:08] <boru> I thought it was bizarre until I tried it.
[09:55:39] <FatPhil> Argh!
[09:56:01] <boru> That and {apfel,maracuja}schole are nice and refreshing.
[09:56:56] <FatPhil> {ar}schole
[09:56:58] <boru> Schorle, even.
[09:57:14] <boru> My typing is really very bad today.
[09:58:11] <FatPhil> I do approve of a good radler, but what you've described doesn't seem to fit that description.
[09:58:49] <boru> It's not beer.
[09:59:14] <boru> You might like Russn, if you like Radler.
[09:59:28] <boru> It's make with Weiß instead of Helles
[09:59:36] <FatPhil> Because I drink everything that comes on the market here, that includes terrible lagers, and if they're truly terrible, I'll just make a radler out of them to have in the sauna.
[09:59:57] <FatPhil> Schofferhoffer do a nice grapefruit weisse.
[10:00:16] <boru> Yeah, I'm not really into that stuff.
[10:00:50] <FatPhil> I'm happy to be positively surprised occasionally.
[10:01:09] <FatPhil> But nothing compares to the enjoyment of a world-class horror.
[10:01:39] <boru> Spezi probably fits into that category. I wouldn't try anything other than the Paulaner one, though.
[10:02:13] <FatPhil> g/f once recorded us without us knowing as we shared a can't-be-anything-but-pure-terror radler. It was 5 minutes of just laughter and "oh god!"
[10:02:46] <boru> Sounds like a trip to Brew Dog.
[10:04:18] <janrinok> just arrived back at my keyboard - and now you have made me thirsty!
[10:04:46] <boru> You mentioning you are thirsty has made me thirsty.
[10:05:05] <boru> I shall do groceries and go to the getränkemarkt shortly.
[10:05:17] <janrinok> time for me to apply the camouflage and try to leopard crawl to a bar....
[10:05:30] <boru> No off-licences open there?
[10:05:33] <janrinok> nope
[10:05:39] <boru> Horrifying.
[10:06:07] <janrinok> supermarkets sell beer but not the best stuff - just the usual rubbish drunk by the French. Good for wine though
[10:06:13] <boru> Where are you? We'll send an airdrop with aid.
[10:06:22] <janrinok> NW France
[10:06:32] <boru> Bretagne?
[10:06:51] <FatPhil> boru++ brewdog=horror!
[10:06:51] <Bender> karma - boru: 39
[10:06:58] <boru> I know someone who makes good calvados there. I'll dispatch them to your location.
[10:07:38] <boru> Decades of consuming irn-bru has destroyed Scots' tastebuds, and so brewdog was born.
[10:07:40] <janrinok> drop it anywhere - I'll fight off anyone else trying to get to it. I've lived in Germany 3 times now, twice in Berlin and once near Dusseldorf - but that was a long time ago.
[10:07:51] <FatPhil> oh, god, the cider
[10:07:59] <boru> I moved here to Bavaria last year.
[10:08:07] <FatPhil> france makes amazing ciders
[10:08:10] <boru> It does.
[10:08:13] <janrinok> I envy you
[10:08:28] <boru> Cider is probably the only thing the brits do half well, also.
[10:08:39] <boru> At least in Somerset.
[10:09:02] <FatPhil> Our pub for lunch today has draught scrumpy
[10:09:08] <janrinok> yes, this region (Brittany) makes good cider - but I need the right moment to drink much of it. It is good with certain foods too
[10:09:16] <boru> Draught scrumpy -- you lucky fecker.
[10:09:24] <FatPhil> g/f's just left, and I told her to get one to accompany the burgers
[10:09:31] <janrinok> agreed! I am filled with envy
[10:10:04] * FatPhil :-D's

[10:20:49] <janrinok> You, Sir, are a star! I hope you both enjoy your luc
[10:20:55] <janrinok> lunch and your drinks!
[10:22:25] <FatPhil> I consider it a duty to support every business that I appreciate as much as I can.
[10:23:10] <FatPhil> thanks for your encouragement. The orchard dew is lovely.
[10:23:37] <FatPhil> I suspect this pub won't be open tomorrow, we are the only customers.
[10:24:03] <FatPhil> one of the other regular favourites was closed.
[10:24:25] <FatPhil> tomorrow, we'll only have a choice of 2 in our local cluster.

[12:11:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> my birthstone, peridot, glows in nudie bar black lights, so i don't have to suffer the flavor of christmas trees.
[12:12:05] <FatPhil> when I was a student, the best PPP was some own-brand martini clone from a local offy chain
[12:15:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> best value when i was po was punch made with everclear, kool-aid, and peaches off the peach tree outside the back door
[12:21:26] <FatPhil> yay, 2 mentions of everclear in 24 hours - that's what the world's done to us!
[12:23:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> cheapest drunk there was back in the day if you didn't mind mixing
[12:27:19] * Bytram had heard of, but never had occasion to try, everclear.

[13:42:50] <Soybull> Heh - can''t win for losing sometimes
[13:43:10] <Soybull> little town of Lockesburg sits a fair distance from any medical facilities
[13:43:33] <Soybull> Lansdell built a little clinic right in "downtown" lockesburg
[13:43:47] <Soybull> They opened it up just last Thursday
[13:44:08] <Soybull> It's closed down, as of today, because one of the techs working there had the covid virus
[13:44:21] <Soybull> Two days in operation . . .
[13:44:47] <Soybull> So, what do they do when someone at the regional medical center gets the virus, they close it down too?
[13:55:53] <GrandFireWizard> probably just sterialise the place
[13:58:25] -!- dx3bydt3 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[14:00:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> sterilizing the place is supposed to be a given for medical facilities

[14:11:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> then you won't need to stock up on tp

[15:23:37] <carny> TheMightyBuzzard: you don't want to do some good in the world and expand the user base?
[15:24:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm saying that a well formatted and analyzed sub would be way, way above what we normally get.
[15:26:06] <janrinok> expanding the user base to replicate twitter, facebook or reddit is not one of my objectives, that is for sure
[15:26:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> truth. i prefer the higher quality group of knuckleheads we have now to the knuckleheads on big sites.
[15:27:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> but mostly i mean don't sweat making a sub a work of scholarly art if it's a bother. it would be overkill for us.
[15:28:17] <AndyTheAbsurd> Things like twitter and facebook are highly variable - the quality of your experience is significantly tied to who you follow on those platforms.
[15:29:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> i know, right? i followed all these awesome trolls and shitposters on twitter but humorless twits kept butting in anyway.

[18:57:37] <FatPhil> Or it could be the demographic that has money for fancy beers being willing to go out of their way to ensure their favourite venues remain solvent.
[18:58:44] <janrinok> which would be nice - I hope it is true. By the way - thanks for the image of the cider pumps. Made my day!
