[01:55:35] <Runaway1956> Isn't GTA catching flack for their silly shit?
[01:55:54] <kyonko> well, look at john carmack, ph.d, data scientist
[01:56:05] <kyonko> dr. john carmack to you
[01:56:24] <Runaway1956> I'd rather not - what has he done that is noteworthy in this context?
[01:56:54] <kyonko> good thing that direct x motherfucker died
[01:57:09] <Runaway1956> directx needs to die
[01:57:56] <Runaway1956> plug in your vidya card, and it takes care of everything, no directx needed
[01:58:27] <Runaway1956> soc downloads it's own updates direct from the manu-fukturer
[01:58:58] <Runaway1956> all you have to decide is whether you would rather be owned by Nvidia or AMD
[01:59:56] <Runaway1956> Where you from kyonko? Aren't you the East Stonian?
[02:01:00] <kyonko> what makes you think i'm a fat phill?

[02:03:37] <kyonko> fat phil is so fat, he is finnish

[07:41:59] <FatPhil> what's the difference between a bobba fett and a lando cardassian?
[07:42:27] <FatPhil> maybe I'm not as invested in the franchise as I should be
[07:42:38] <FatPhil> but maybe not
[07:53:14] <chromas> I think lando cardassian is the one with a coordinate system named after him
[07:56:08] <FatPhil> do you want an Argandment about this?
[07:56:40] <FatPhil> that's about as complex as my logic can get at this time of morning
[07:57:09] <FatPhil> my 'local' had a birthday party last night, and beers were drunk...
[07:57:31] <chromas> So they weren't allowed to drive home?
[07:57:55] * chromas imagines drunk beers crashing on the way to FatPhil's mug
[07:58:20] <FatPhil> I left before the end, when the volume started to increase, but I can imagine beers committing suicide at a vast rate
[08:01:06] <chromas> ooh another sports team changing its name. soon we won't have any remembrance of the so-called 'natives'
[08:05:49] <FatPhil> didn't you kill'em all?
[08:07:29] <FatPhil> but, yeah, just in case you didn't - most successful genocide in history, by the way, pat yourselves on the back - it's certainly a good thing to make sure no more references are made to them. I'm surprised you didn't work that out earlier.
[08:13:18] <c0lo> FatPhil "beers were drunk" - a good thing the drinkers were sobber then. They could put those drunken beers to sleep.
[08:14:14] <FatPhil> chemicals were detected in the liquids, and we decided the best thing to do was to filter them out.
[08:15:37] * c0lo looks in admiration to those kidneys that sacrificed themself to keep the environ naturally pristine and free of chemicals
[08:19:10] <FatPhil> the funny thing was that, even though the place was packed, it was packed with all the regulars that I've seen there on various days for the last month, and - until it started getting loud - it didn't feel like the high risk superspreader event that it was.
[08:19:45] <chromas> Did they have their masks on?
[08:19:52] <chromas> and drank with straws
[08:20:06] <FatPhil> the pub with 2 staff, me & g/f, and some useless sneezing yank cunt last week literally felt 10x higher risk.
[08:20:30] <chromas> facts don't care about your feelings™
[08:21:26] <FatPhil> I understand fluid dynamics, and I'm pretty sure it was way lower risk, despite ticking all but one of the bad boxes.
[08:21:51] <FatPhil> the fucking useless yank cunt sneezing all over the place ticked the box that was more important to me
[08:22:02] <chromas> now hold it right there
[08:22:08] <chromas> we yanks check boxes; we don't tick 'em
[08:22:09] <FatPhil> from california, by the way
[08:22:23] <chromas> I'm so sorry for your loss
[08:22:36] <FatPhil> your loss, our "gain"
[08:23:30] <FatPhil> you could see that he was making the staff uncomfortable with his presence, but what are you supposed to do - he is keeping your business alive with his $$$
[08:23:46] <chromas> outside merica, yanks are mericans, but inside, it's a specific region of murikans
[08:23:49] <FatPhil> (technically euros, obv, but fuck non-ASCII)
[08:24:28] <FatPhil> yeah, I just didn't want to be accused of redstate/bluestate bias.
[08:24:30] <chromas> everything is ASCII if you have the right cideoage
[08:24:35] <chromas> frack
[08:24:39] <chromas> codepage
[08:24:47] <FatPhil> He was very bluestate, and a completely useless cunt.
[08:25:10] <chromas> sounds like a californian
[08:25:14] <FatPhil> if you have the right ciderpage - now you're talking my language
[08:25:16] <chromas> or portlandian or seattlite
[08:25:36] <chromas> oh you running apple products?
[08:25:56] <FatPhil> not sure what happened to the G5, I used to have one.
[08:26:01] <FatPhil> was a good server
[08:26:12] <chromas> the one with the sweet metal case?
[08:26:21] <FatPhil> Yeah. 'geespaz' was its name
[08:26:45] <chromas> is cider an apple thing or can there be other-fruit-based ciders?
[08:26:54] <chromas> pear cider
[08:27:10] <FatPhil> https://bench.cr.yp.to
[08:27:11] <systemd> ^ 03Computers used for benchmarking cryptographic systems
[08:27:42] <FatPhil> in UK law, you can have up to 49% pear juice in a apple cider and still call it an apple cider
[08:27:56] <chromas> I see your secret name on there
[08:28:20] <chromas> anything beyond and it's "cider product"?
[08:28:21] <FatPhil> when you reach 51% pear juice, even though it's 49% apple juice, you have to call it 'perry'.
[08:28:40] <FatPhil> I've posted my full address and telephone number on this channel before.
[08:28:45] <chromas> what about 50%?
[08:28:53] <FatPhil> lawmakers explode
[08:29:08] <chromas> ooh, I should send some perry and cheese product
[08:29:41] * chromas isn't gonna tho
[08:29:57] <chromas> hm, alcoholic cheese?
[08:30:09] <chromas> is such a thing even possible?
[08:30:43] <FatPhil> you'd have to ask a biochemist, I think the pathways don't overlap much
[08:31:08] <chromas> looks like you can get alcohol-infused cheese. that's lame. I want the fermentation to go both ways
[08:31:15] <FatPhil> but it is a mold, so there's some chance it eats the same way
[08:31:21] <chromas> er wait, is cheese even fermented?
[08:31:33] <FatPhil> Chimay cheese is, were I not atheist, divine
[08:32:41] <chromas> you don't have to believe in a deity to believe in divinity; just visit your local sweets shop
[08:33:28] <FatPhil> cheesiness is sometimes encountered as a brewing flaw, but that's because there are non-saccharomyces buggies in your brew.
[08:33:57] <FatPhil> I don't have a sweet tooth, sweeties are the devil's work.
[08:33:58] <chromas> Can you skim it off and use it to start a cheese?
[08:34:48] <FatPhil> you'd have to ask a cheese technician or a biochemist, I'm neither
[08:35:14] <chromas> is it mathematically or grammatically possible?
[08:35:56] <chromas> Gotta tell you, I'm quite disappointed you don't know everything :(
[08:37:28] <FatPhil> I definitely would like to learn more about cheese
[08:37:42] <FatPhil> we have a couple of artisinal producers locally
[08:38:06] <chromas> Boot up a cheese-rating website and start touring
[08:38:09] <FatPhil> well, by locally I mean "in the country", but that limits them to about a 150km radius
[08:38:47] <chromas> Next hipster fad—microdairies
[08:38:53] <FatPhil> I'm gonna plug Latvia again, but they have even better local cheese to go with their even better local cider.
[08:39:10] <FatPhil> Ben & Jerry's did that in the ?70s
[08:39:27] <FatPhil> before they sold out
[08:39:37] <FatPhil> (((I can't remember to whom)))
[08:40:44] <chromas> oh yeah, they just came out with a Colin Kaepernick flavor
[08:40:51] <FatPhil> However, the hipsters of today don't even know what the 70s even was, apart from ancient history where you had a civil war, and a revolution, so can repeat things as if they're inventing it themselves.
[08:41:06] <FatPhil> "non-dairy icecream"
[08:41:21] <chromas> they should've called it "Benched"
[08:41:22] <FatPhil> fake and sexually ambiguous.
[08:41:53] <FatPhil> fake and whey
[08:42:13] <chromas> nice

[09:05:20] <chromas> Reaction to what though? Vaccines? Or press conferences?
[09:05:33] <carny> vagus nerve allegedly
[09:05:38] <carny> i don't belive that for a second
[09:05:59] <carny> as a nurse she'd be passing out daily just trying to do her job
[09:08:22] <chromas> Well she is on the front line, working 72-hour shifts to get the latest tiktok videos made ;)
[09:10:24] <carny> i'm more ready to believe that ;]
[09:15:27] <carny> if you download the facebook video you can see that she's in extremis for a good 3 minutes before they cut off the camera

[09:16:02] <carny> and the whole time everyone is speaking in whispers so they haven't gotten her on a stretcher and removed her yet
[09:16:50] <carny> i'm a bit dubious because there's not a hint of perspiration at her hairline and her pupils don't deviate a bit
[09:17:21] <carny> however her hands are somewhat blotchy from the beginning so it's hard to say
[09:19:58] <chromas> Probably a crisis actor hired by the conspiracy nuts
[09:24:32] <c0lo> What??? They didn't even injected her with a real vaccine to make her pass out?
[09:27:00] <chromas> oh good point. did she get a real vaccine or one of those empty syringes?
[09:41:09] <FatPhil> full of hot air?

[09:59:04] <FatPhil> it's surprising trump was prepared to go anywhere near the stuff
[09:59:22] <FatPhil> maybe trump's been using placebo bleach all his life
[09:59:45] <chromas> Where else is he going to get his white power?
[10:00:59] <FatPhil> not sure there's much power left, he seems quite impotent presently.
[10:01:37] <chromas> That's because of the erection fraud
[10:02:42] <FatPhil> nailed it

[10:20:10] <chromas> They should just let it through
[10:20:23] <chromas> Wasn't it recently discovered that most EU sites weren't compliant anyhow?
[10:20:23] <FatPhil> So's twitter now. The changes that they rolled out on 15th for the main site they rolled out on the mobile. site too yesterday.
[10:21:29] <FatPhil> I'm old enough to have seen the internet grow by 6 orders of magnitude, and then to start shrinking again!
[10:23:13] <chromas> Speaking of stupid EU regulations, if a web server sets cookies on my box without getting affirmative consent, is that webrape?
[10:24:33] <FatPhil> servers don't set cookies, clients do
[10:24:40] <FatPhil> servers send cookies
[10:25:29] <chromas> Yes. So really, browsers should be the ones asking for continuous enthusiastic affirmative consent, instead of websites having giant popups
[10:25:30] <FatPhil> what you're experiencing is more like web-jizz just floating in the air
[10:26:21] <chromas> ah yes, the web cummies

[10:30:09] <chromas> No use having the same thing more than once when you could have something new
[10:30:26] <chromas> You must try it all
[10:36:41] <FatPhil> I've tried all the curry houses within 1km, I can assure you of that.
[10:37:12] <FatPhil> To be honest, my favourite curries come from an ex-pat pub, one with "cheap shots!" and karaoke.
[10:37:14] <chromas> You have to try everything from each of them
[10:37:41] <FatPhil> even the curry houses that suck?
[10:37:54] <FatPhil> that's almost as stupid an idea as my beer hobby
[10:38:09] <chromas> Maybe they only suck at what you've tried so far. You need more data to be sure.
[10:38:25] <FatPhil> what if the *chef* sucks?
[10:38:38] <FatPhil> well, that costs extra, boom tish
[10:38:47] <chromas> Then you've got a date
[10:38:50] <c0lo> Satisfaction.

[10:51:02] <FatPhil> Remind me exactly how much swamp draining Trump did?
[10:51:26] <FatPhil> 95% of the people he got rid of were people he put there in the first place.
[10:56:04] <c0lo> I don't know how much swamp Trump drained but I'm pretty sure he'll take all his shit with him next month.
[10:57:54] <FatPhil> I reckon he'll take a dump on the carpet before he leaves
[10:58:44] <c0lo> (otherwise, I'll need a bit of re-tuning, but that's what the presidents are primarily, a target for mockery)

[11:05:29] <FatPhil> I'm not going to name him, lest you conclude I'm a republican, and I wouldn't want to be tarred with those feathers.

[13:22:45] <c0lo> FatPhil, he may be #1, but not invincible. Most recently, he almost had it in his reach, but he lost to a senior years older than him. Look, I don't agree with them, but some are calling him a clown for it and think that's as predictable as any boring thing.
[13:25:10] <requerdanos> Orange Man Bad, like Creepy Uncle Joe
[13:25:10] <c0lo> Will he be able to raise his game next time? He certainly has potential and a good fan base, but sooner or later he will have to deliver for those fans.
[13:25:49] <requerdanos> he has already delivered/is already delivering whatever those fans want, to hear them tell it. I doubt your assertion there that he "will have to" deliver.
[13:35:56] <FatPhil> I'm willing to put money on him winning again
[13:36:06] <FatPhil> Maybe sooner than you think, too...
[13:37:08] <requerdanos> What timeframe are you (erroneously) thinking?
[13:38:12] * c0lo reads requerdanos last comment, chuckles uncontrollably and looks forward to one more month of fun ahead (assuming Trump doesn't concede earlier)
[13:39:44] <AzumaHazuki> he's already won, in the long run. he's damaged the basis of the country irrevocably and mobilized 75+-million idiots
[13:39:59] <AzumaHazuki> the country's not going to make it to 2024 at this rate
[13:40:07] <FatPhil> I reckon there's at least a 1/16 chance he'll win by 17th Jan.
[13:40:21] <FatPhil> And I know c0lo wouldn't bet against me on that.
[13:41:56] <requerdanos> any basis for this reckoning? genuine morbid curiosity
[13:42:08] * FatPhil racks his brain to work out what c0lo's chuckling at
[13:42:18] <FatPhil> Well, if you knew what I knew, just sayin'
[13:42:32] <requerdanos> maybe that I am saying it's flat out erroneous, whereas you are saying it's possible?
[13:42:59] <AzumaHazuki> well, enlighten us, phil
[13:43:53] <requerdanos> maybe it's the "mountain of evidence pouring in" (flow of conspiracy theories)?
[13:47:51] <c0lo> FatPhil, 1/4 chance he'll score a victory by Dec 20, well before the Jan 17 one.
[13:48:54] <c0lo> But I'll stop short, wishing Trump to break a leg.

[13:53:20] <c0lo> carny, please. #US_election is for conspiracy theories. Here we are discussing serious things about Trump.
[13:54:23] <c0lo> Things that those Q lunatics never dreamed about.
[13:54:54] <FatPhil> has there been any Q action recently?
[13:55:36] <c0lo> New? Nothing out of the usual, still qlueless.
[13:55:42] <carny> here's fauci's latest highly scientific advice http://feedproxy.google.com
[13:55:43] <systemd> ^ 03Dr. Fauci Insists He Never Told Americans To Cancel Christmas ( https://www.zerohedge.com )
[13:56:30] <AzumaHazuki> he did say we can't do christmas as usual

[13:56:31] <systemd> ^ 03Fauci Wants Christmas Canceled: "Just One Of The Things You're Going To Have To Accept"
[13:56:59] <carny> at least he's getting faster at his flip flops
[13:57:01] * AzumaHazuki is unsure why he's walking this back now. canceling the travel and gatherings is just the smart thing to do
[13:59:19] <carny> do you consider 'q' to be the same as the narrative that trump has been planning on crushing his enemies since his 2018 executive order on foreign election interference?
[14:00:18] <c0lo> Trump never makes plans years ahead, that's a sure thing.
[14:00:25] <requerdanos> ^^
[14:00:30] <carny> my understanding of q is that it has been around for 4 years or so and involves some ridiculous number of 'sealed indictments' which have been growing steadily and most likely don't actually exist
[14:00:51] <carny> but i'm sure there's much more i don't know about
[14:01:01] <requerdanos> 'q' is a bunch of nuts who think trump is secretly competent. not much to know about, really.
[14:01:31] <requerdanos> though there is admittedly plenty to read if one is so inclined
[14:01:44] <requerdanos> pardon me, not read, listen-to-rants-about-on-youtube
[14:02:02] <c0lo> q surely doesn't exists. q-idiots do, tho'. And while they may think they have any relation with Trump, they are deluded.
[14:02:31] <carny> it can't be denied that he has been making significant changes in the government in the past few weeks
[14:02:33] <requerdanos> yeah that's who I mean by 'q' as a group, not the "secret informer q" named after John Delancie's character in star trek
[14:02:39] <carny> especially in the military
[14:02:46] <FatPhil> they're connected by bits of string on a cork-board with lots of newspaper cutouts on it
[14:02:52] <requerdanos> sure it can. heck, I hereby deny it.
[14:03:38] <carny> i'm curious what you'd consider to be significant if not conclusive evidence that he plans on some drastic action?
[14:04:06] <requerdanos> significant change comes through legislation, which you have to have 'the art of the deal' to pull off. Trump doesn't, and just issues fiats, which any president can un-issue.
[14:04:21] <c0lo> Or maybe he's giving his accolites a job that pays benefits at retirement?
[14:05:29] <requerdanos> if Trump plans drastic action, he is not telegraphing it very strongly.
[14:05:34] <carny> such as if i were to war game out a plan for declaring martial law and fighting a civil war against the communist infestation and listed the top 20 actions how many would trump have to do before you said 'uh oh it looks like he's doing it'
[14:05:38] <AzumaHazuki> he's laying the groundwork for a turnkey takeover, and he's not even aware he's doing it. someone is coaching this
[14:06:09] <AzumaHazuki> like i said...this country will not survive 2024. the fascists have the SCOTUS in hand and are going to run someone competent next time
[14:06:35] <requerdanos> carny, i am not sure it's the number of actions so much as their character and perceived weight, make sense?

[14:07:46] <requerdanos> by 'fixed' you mean tilt in their favor?
[14:08:18] <FatPhil> there's a 2-3% tilt in favour of the pugs currently
[14:11:11] <Bytram> requerdanos: yes, of course that would do it, but I strongly suspect if Gerrymandering were outright forbidden, blocked, or even programmatically determined based on sum(minimal area per district) or some other algorithmic mechanism, it would still led in the Dems favor.

[14:16:45] <Bytram> requerdanos: I'm wondering how it could be worse than explicit/intentional bias?
[14:17:42] <requerdanos> if there's one or more factor leading to bias, they could inadvertently cascade to a larger bias than the powers that be have already engineered
[14:19:26] <Bytram> min( sum(population_of_districts) ) ??
[14:20:25] <Bytram> nope. min( sum(area_of_districts) )
[14:21:00] <requerdanos> depends on the composition of the districts, I would think. You would almost have to cook the books to make them work out, which is little more than gerrymandering for the neutral party I guess

[23:29:49] <Deucalion> Maybe wasn't clear on the xray due to swelling. Or there were faint lines on some tarsals / metatarsals that may or may not have been a break rather than a crack not a clean break through. 11yrs after it still hurts.... unless the broken bone did not fuse yet somehow, tissue damage. Ligament, tendon etc. can go on for many years
[23:30:09] <Runaway1956> Old "maybe broke" sometimes hurt for a long, long time -
[23:30:39] <Runaway1956> I had an overextension of the foot that must have pained me for a year, before it finally stopped
[23:30:59] <Deucalion> Did a bone break?
[23:31:20] <Runaway1956> For me, not certain - I had no insurance at the time, never went to a doctor
[23:32:07] <requerdanos> I did go finally get an x-ray a couple years ago and they tell me no clear break but lots of "degeneration" which upon questioning turned out to be arthritis, all out of proportion to the other foot. Guess I should have gone to the doctor when I fell originally.
[23:32:40] <Runaway1956> In my perfectly non-professional opinion, I kinda think that dear wife may have cracked a bone
[23:32:49] <Deucalion> I had an ankle overextension at age 14 - still bothers me now over 3 decades later - nothing broke. Thankfully I live in a commie country where health care works and we can get answers.
[23:32:53] <requerdanos> Originally, I had just said "ah, no need to go to the doctor, it will feel better when it quits hurting" which was, in hindsight, quite the wrong choice
[23:33:44] <Runaway1956> If our foresight was as good as our hindsight, we'd all be much better off
