[01:44:11] * Deucalion wanders in and clears the fireplace in prep for winter, stacks a huge pile of logs next to it and stashes a couple boxes of dry tinder on the opposite side of the lounge.
[01:50:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> those two make me laugh. it's like they don't get enough hissing and spitting in the comments, so they have to start some up out here as well.
[02:14:11] <lld> they add some entropy to the channel, how else would you get some distraction
[02:15:19] <AzumaHazuki> it's not complicated: asshat pops up, asshat gets smacked
[02:15:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh i ain't around enough for distraction most days. i'll get maybe an hour to sit on my ass in my computer chair and either spend it responding to comments or yacking out here.
[02:16:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, there are more asshats than you have smacks
[02:16:08] <AzumaHazuki> fuckin' tell me about it
[02:16:38] * nutherguy wonders if he should help Deucalion move firewood

[02:17:34] <nutherguy> damn, somebody superglued my ass to the chair - Decalion is on his own
[02:17:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'like moderation. you don't gotta change the whole world yourself. works better if you let other folks help.
[02:18:08] <lld> hah, found an innovative 3rd world internet access point
[02:18:23] <lld> stick a phone inside a water bottle for weather proofing

[02:19:12] * nutherguy plans on stealing the phone when no one is looking
[02:19:37] <lld> well, its a remote village, where everyone knows each other
[02:19:50] <lld> so no, strangers are not welcome
[02:20:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's kinda ghetto hackery. i dig it.
[02:20:21] <lld> cell signals are poor out in these areas
[02:20:28] <nutherguy> dass racisssss!
[02:20:41] <lld> very, they beat stranger ass everyday
[02:21:02] <lld> well, native headhunters
[02:22:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> yanomamo or something?
[02:23:02] <lld> you mean the tribes that live in the interior?
[02:23:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> them guys crack me up. their word for stranger/non-indian is the same as their word for enemy
[02:23:33] <lld> honestly I have no idea, but these are the people who you want as jungle guides
[02:23:44] <nutherguy> With ten thousand years of non-history, that makes sense Buzzard
[02:24:04] <lld> tropical green hell is still hell, these people can navigate it

[02:24:24] <nutherguy> savannah, steppes, forests are more to my liking
[02:24:43] <lld> all kinds of diseases like malaria
[02:25:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> lld, apparently they're about 35k people that live along the brazil/venezuela border
[02:25:50] <lld> vicky2 was right to put the machine gun development as a prerequisite for colonizing tropical jungles in the interrior regions of africa
[02:26:37] <nutherguy> Vicky1 needs roads for transport of truckloads of machine gun ammo
[02:26:38] <lld> yeah, stranger danger is a natural for people living in remote regions
[02:27:17] <nutherguy> How quickly does a machine gun use up a metric buttload of ammo themightybuzzard
[02:27:20] <lld> gotta kill all the mosquitoes with machine gun fire
[02:29:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> buttloads are imperial measures
[02:29:55] <nutherguy> That's disappointing - someone deleted Aristarchus asshole sub

[02:38:19] <nutherguy> do I even want to look at the news feeds? there's more depressing crap than anything
[02:39:22] <nutherguy> Jennifer Anniston shows off new rescue puppy -
[02:39:46] <nutherguy> She'll cuddle the pup for a couple months, then abandon it on some country road
[02:41:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> nutherguy, watch korean cat videos. much more interesting than real life.
[02:41:16] * TheMightyBuzzard buggers off to bed
[02:47:01] <nutherguy> me doesn't understand Korean
[02:47:14] <chromas> Do you understand cat videos?
[02:52:48] <Deucalion> nutherguy, we may be needing a whole forest of it when the power goes out post election. It's OK though, this is SN we had one entire forest chopped down two years ago and stacked for drying under cover. Luckily we have 4 forests so have been replanting fast growing timber where we reap. No such thing as being too prepared :D
[02:59:44] <Deucalion> nutherguy, welcome to "the news" - thus has it ever been so. Over dramatized cherry picked garbage that affects 0.0000001% of anyone yet gets all the attention and blared out in every direction at maximum value for weeks. Paying attention to that stream of noise is enough to send anyone mad or into terminal depression or into submission.
[03:00:50] <Bytram> nutherguy: not sure who did it. fortnately, I had it open in another window. I sent it back asking it be shortened and some other cleanup.

[12:14:23] <nutherguy> Yeah, updates on windows screw things up, and pretty frequently
[12:15:03] <nutherguy> I read another interesting tidbit a little bit ago, claims that Win7 doesn't manage multi-core installation very well in a virtual machine
[12:15:05] <Ingar> no I mean, windows update can't install some updates because the updater needs an update or something
[12:15:27] <nutherguy> suggestion was to decrease cores to 2, so I'm trying that next
[12:16:05] <nutherguy> Oh, I see what you mean - windows update got updated first, as near as I could tell it was working properly before I turned updates off
[12:16:12] <nutherguy> just killed the service
[12:16:56] <Ingar> apparently I have KB3050265 KB3102810 KB3138612 for manual intall in my win7 setup directory

[18:27:35] <FatPhil> who's got their math-brain installed today?
[18:28:55] <FatPhil> If I have 2 coordinates (x,y) and (a,b) which are known to be a knight's move apart, what's the coordinates of the point diagonally touching (a,b) that is also a knight's move away from (x,y)?
[18:29:33] <FatPhil> I had a fucking guru expression, but Perl evaluates it wrong because it gets confused with logic operations on negative numbers.
[18:30:13] <FatPhil> Hmmm, I guess I could just fixup the fuxup it makes with some post-processing.
[18:30:56] <requerdanos> x-1, y-1 looks pretty likely
[18:31:11] <FatPhil> not a knight's move from (x,y)
[18:31:13] <requerdanos> nvm, math brain not installed
[18:31:49] <requerdanos> how bout x, y+2
[18:31:50] <FatPhil> the expression I had was x+((a-x)^3), y+((b-y)^3)
[18:32:27] <requerdanos> no, that's a knight's move from a,b
[18:32:40] <requerdanos> yeah, ok, I will leave you alone and shut up now.
[18:33:00] <FatPhil> if (a-x) (or b-y) is 1, it becomes 2, if it's 2, it becomes 1, if it's -1 it becomes -2, and if it's -2 it becomes -1. But perl doesn't do ^ on negative numbers correctly.
[18:33:59] <requerdanos> I swear x+2, y-1 looks right
[18:34:26] <FatPhil> that's the answer if a,b was x+1,y-2, but there are 7 other cases.
[18:43:48] <FatPhil> nah, that ^3 thing just doesn't work at all.
[18:44:20] <FatPhil> not completely sure why at the moment, but not sure if I shoudl work out where my thinking went wrong.
[18:50:30] <requerdanos> seems like two cases (a,b is x+1, y-2 and a,b is x+2, y-1) reflected horizontally and vertically. deceptively simple-looking.

[23:03:58] <Bytram> ^^^ "Electronic Benefit Transfer" kind of like Food Stamps but now in the appearance of a debit card.
[23:14:20] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: that *is* a tad bit early, indeed!
[23:14:28] <Bytram> good luck.
[23:16:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> Bytram: food stamps have been delivered via EBT card for many years now.
[23:17:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> At least since I started working for Fifth Third Bank in 2003.
[23:17:55] <AzumaHazuki> yeah...training is going to be 6 weeks or so of this, so odds are i'll be doing this for almost 2 months. not my idea of a good time.
[23:18:43] <Fnord666> EBT was created to cut down on food stamps fraud and/or sales of benefits to others
[23:37:02] <requerdanos> So we think EF is going by the nick EBT-whatever because he is on food benefits?
[23:37:36] <AzumaHazuki> not likely
