[04:43:20] <AzumaHazuki> more to the point, reality has become impossible to satirize any longer. it's too ridiculous
[04:46:30] <khallow> I think the people having the difficulty now, would have difficulty no matter what reality was doing.
[04:50:32] <AzumaHazuki> so do you just reflexively insult all and sundry who aren't you? it really seems like you take any and every chance to dump on the world + dog

[06:34:49] <FatPhil> AzumaHazuki: why did you just reflexively insult khallow, who isn't you, within 1 minute of him joining the IRC channel? it really seems like you take any and every chance to dump on the world + dog
[06:35:31] <Runaway1956> Thank you FatPhil
[06:35:53] <AzumaHazuki> FatPhil, a few things wrong with that. 1) that wasn't reflexive or spontaneous, but in response to what appeared to be automatic mindless snark. 2) i take any and every chance to point out, at the appropriate times, when someone's being a dick
[06:36:18] <AzumaHazuki> please do look closer at the content. that is bordering on tone trolling, and i know you're both smarter and a better person than that
[06:36:39] <Runaway1956> *sigh*
[06:36:55] <FatPhil> AzumaHazuki: the only way that could be true is if "06:48 < khallow> howdy" can be considered mindless snark.
[06:37:58] <Runaway1956> I think maybe someone regards IRC as her own personal domain, where she makes the rules?
[06:38:04] <AzumaHazuki> <khallow> I think the people having the difficulty now, would have difficulty no matter what reality was doing.
[06:38:54] <FatPhil> Yes, but you reflexively insulted khallow before then. And even when that is now drawn to your attention, you don't see it.
[06:40:25] <AzumaHazuki> you mean "oh gods, it figured out IRC?" That wasn't an insult, that was a paroxysm of mild despair
[06:42:24] <Runaway1956> Morally superior people are entitled to their despair?
[06:44:33] <FatPhil> so explicit dehumanisation, and implicit expression of him being unwelcome aren't an insult now?
[06:48:16] <FatPhil> But anyway, good morning all.
[06:49:25] <AzumaHazuki> it's not my call as to whether he's welcome or not, since it's not my channel. that said, if it were my channel, he'd be about as welcome as a small puff of methane in a crowded elevator and for mostly the same reasons...

[07:05:16] <khallow> [00:40] <AzumaHazuki> you mean "oh gods, it figured out IRC?" That wasn't an insult, that was a paroxysm of mild despair

[07:06:43] <Runaway1956> Don't mind her khallow - Buzzard and I are both on her "ignore" list
[07:06:53] <khallow> was indeed a reflexive insult. Same goes for the accusation starting with the leading question "so do you just reflexively insult all and sundry who aren't you?"
[07:07:23] <khallow> Just drop me in your killfile so we can stop wasting time
[07:08:37] <AzumaHazuki> good idea. i shouldn't have wasted the keystrokes
[07:09:16] <Runaway1956> She doesn't mind wasting oxygen, lol
[07:11:32] <khallow> anyway posted a journal. Perfectly good math wasted by well not working.

[07:40:23] <khallow> yea. really hard to talk about it at all, much less in a journal.
[07:41:27] <khallow> And I keep coming up with weird crap like not being able to evaluate polynomials

[08:55:16] <boru> I use DarkReader everywhere. The "dynamic" mode is a bit slow, though.
[08:55:31] <boru> But it does the right thing.
[08:55:35] <chromas> DarkReader's pretty noice
[08:56:09] <boru> I used to use another plugin, but then mozilla lost their mind and switched to this new shite plugin framework, and the author discontinued it.

[09:29:44] <FatPhil> maybe to a 'why', he says 'why not?'?
[09:34:19] <boru> Interesting. Looks like some Chinese logistics companies will have fully autonomous air freight networks next year. That's pretty neat. I wonder when we'll get them.
[09:35:00] <boru> Seems like a German company are doing the control systems, whereas a Slovenian company are doing the air frame.
[09:37:52] <boru> Autonomous freight is probably one of few reasonable applications for autonomous air/sea/land vehicles, imho.
[10:03:15] <FatPhil> I know knee-jerk progressive liberals will get triggered, but given that this Daunte Wright thing just happened, they really ought to watch "What Killed Michael Brown?"

[12:15:34] <Ingar> Fully autonomous air freight network will be fully autonomous 'till the first accident
[12:16:18] <FatPhil> which will be in early trials
[12:17:33] <boru> Not in China. Most of the drone fleet will be operating in high desert regions, so a very low risk to humans.
[12:18:35] <boru> I doubt you'll see operations in dense urban regions.
[12:19:02] <boru> Seems more like a peripheral/boundary network.
[12:19:06] <Ingar> boru: a desert region could make the situation worse if the cargo is valuable :D
[12:19:15] <boru> e.g. drop it off to the edge of a city, let human driven trucks take it from there.
[12:19:30] <boru> _If_ cargo is valuable.
[12:20:23] <boru> There are some charities on the African continents using part-autonomous freight carriers to drop off medical supplies to remote areas.
[12:20:44] <boru> I think it's a pretty neat idea.
[12:21:15] <boru> Much lower cost, and could be constructed by native companies.
[12:27:22] <Ingar> boru: than there are the stories of poor africans being crushed by supply drops :D
[12:28:12] <boru> You're right. We should just stop trying to innovate.
[12:28:38] <boru> The African continent should be captive to the West for technology forever.

[12:59:48] <Bytram> what's their annuallized appreciation rate?
[13:01:15] <boru> Probably on finance.yahoo.com or some such.
[13:01:39] <Bytram> is that their ticker symbol?
[13:01:48] <boru> Yeah
[13:01:57] <Bytram> kewel, tx!
[13:03:16] <boru> I mentioned them mostly wrt FP's comment about overproducing maniacs.
[13:03:24] <boru> Semiconductor fab is off the charts at the moment.
[13:06:38] <Bytram> to be expected, yeah. cars can't even get the 24nm chips they need, nvm AMD/Apple/etc. down at ~5nm
[13:07:03] <boru> Yeah, that fab size is a bit bonkers.
[13:07:11] <boru> That said, home fab is really coming along, also.
[13:07:32] <boru> I think I read recently on another net, some guys doing sub-40nm at home.
[13:08:02] <Ingar> it's not like fabs can just quickly switch their process
[13:09:01] <FatPhil> I swore I'd turn my back on the monster that is the stock market, but right now lots of mining companies are very very tempting....
[13:09:49] <boru> Indeed they are.
[13:10:17] <boru> I've got a few others in mind I'll invest into this year, also, based on where I see things going.
[13:12:45] <FatPhil> I'm kinda enjoying the slow and steady of my whisky. I'm definitely becoming more risk averse as I age.
[13:13:13] <FatPhil> I've learnt that when banks who manage your money in funds talk about "risk", what they mean is "stupidity".
[13:14:44] <boru> Well, index funds are good for stable long term investments i.e. approaching retirement.

[14:46:56] <FatPhil> I'm getting itchy for some scifi series to watch - and /Primeval/ has been dangled in front of me - did anyone watch it?
[14:47:20] <FatPhil> https://en.wikipedia.org
[14:47:21] <systemd> ^ 03Primeval (TV series) - Wikipedia
[14:47:56] <Bytram> not me; limited data cap and don't have much time for watching video or TV
[14:49:10] <boru> Watching the latest season of The Expanse at the moment. Haven't seen Primeval, but I'll check it out.
[14:51:42] <Bytram> time to go; laters!
[14:58:32] <FatPhil> The thing that made me think Primeval would be worth watching was the Charlie Brooker quote in the reception section. I was quite a fan, though a critical one, of Torchwood, and so anything which gets compared favourably to that gets my attention.
[14:59:08] <FatPhil> And I like Brooker's own creative output too, namely /Black Mirror/, so I trust him to know what he's talking about.

[15:18:14] <Runaway1956> @ FatPhil - I don't even know where Brooklyn Center is - guess I need to read up . . .

[15:20:47] <systemd> ^ 03Brooklyn Center, Minnesota - Wikipedia
[15:22:35] <FatPhil> Oh, thank you for the 'thank you' earlier.
[15:23:04] <FatPhil> I had just got up and the first thing I saw was petty insults, I felt I had to say something.
[15:23:27] <Runaway1956> That seems to be her life's work or something
[15:23:52] <FatPhil> The projecting was strong, which is why I chose to use her own words.
[15:29:43] <Runaway1956> I guess there's no video on the Wright shooting
[15:30:24] <FatPhil> bodycam apparently exists, but hasn't been released yet
[15:34:31] <Runaway1956> I see no suggestion that Wright had a weapon - if he had, the cops would be saying so
[15:34:56] <FatPhil> he was armed with an air freshener!
[15:35:05] <Runaway1956> I don't want to use the words "reckless abandon" but sometimes it looks like that's the police MO
[15:35:11] <FatPhil> sharp pointy pine needles!
[15:36:20] <khallow> If the news is correct, there has been one improvement
[15:37:04] <khallow> Wikipedia is alleging that CPR was administered at the scene.
[15:37:12] <boru> The police in the USA seem to be getting a lot of flak and scandal lately. Is it to distract people from their goverment carpet bombing Syria?
[15:37:34] <Runaway1956> citations for carpet bombings
[15:37:49] <boru> It's Snopes!
[15:38:04] <boru> I was being partially facetious, in case that wasn't obvious.
[15:38:16] <Runaway1956> Snopes lost all credibility when they hired a left wing agitator to "fact check" their political stuff
[15:38:21] <boru> Are some bombings okay?
[15:38:34] <Runaway1956> as long as they don't damage the carpte
[15:38:38] <Runaway1956> carpet
[15:38:57] <boru> It's not your carpet.
[15:39:18] <Runaway1956> One damaged carpet affects all of us
[15:39:28] <boru> ...
[15:39:34] <khallow> my brother found he could prevent carpet bombing by keeping the dog away from carpeted areas.
[15:40:05] <Runaway1956> This is the 2020s, we don't bomb carpets anymore, we drone weddings
[15:40:31] <Runaway1956> Somehow, that seems to be the preferred image
[15:41:00] <boru> Anyway, my thinly veiled point was highlighting how much people are getting worked up over these shootings, but seemingly couldn't care less about bombing people in other countries.
[15:41:26] <boru> Where are the protests? The candlelight vigils?
[15:41:36] <boru> 24/7 media coverage etc.
[15:42:06] <Runaway1956> You hadn't heard the news? Black lives matter, not brown.
[15:42:30] <Runaway1956> And, Dog Lives Matter too - https://www.msn.com
[15:42:31] <systemd> ^ 03New Orleans police officer fatally shoots 18-week-old puppy while responding to noise complaint
[15:43:11] <Runaway1956> "One of the responding officers was also injured by flying shrapnel, according to NOLA.com."
[15:43:28] <Runaway1956> Cop not only shot the dog, he apparently narrowly missed shooting his own partner
[15:43:43] <boru> Isn't that normally what the ATF and the FBI do over there?
[15:44:18] <Runaway1956> No, that's mostly local cops - ATF and FBI wear suits and sit in offices most of the time
[15:44:31] <Runaway1956> unless they're organizing a kidnap attempt or some such
[15:55:58] <FatPhil> what if they're organising the dunkin' of donuts?
[15:57:03] <FatPhil> And in sweet-treats-slash-globalisation news - Tallinn is getting a Baskin Robbins, right on the central square.
[15:57:36] <progo> there's enough FUD out there to make it a life rule: only ask cops for help as a last resort because they shoot pets and people having autistic freak-outs
[15:58:21] <FatPhil> One of my fears is that once the pandemic clears up, the big multinationals will jump on all the now-cheap rents.
[15:59:07] <FatPhil> I guess I see about 2 small businesses close per week as I walk around town. Something will eventually take their place.
[15:59:50] <progo> New York City is systematically pushing small businesses out
[16:00:15] <progo> it is a VERY bad decision for an NYC entrepreneur to start a small business without moving somewhere else first
[16:00:26] <Runaway1956> Small business has been under constant attack since the COVIDS started
[16:00:36] <Runaway1956> nationwide
[16:00:37] <progo> started in NYC years ago
[16:00:53] <Runaway1956> Maybe, I can't address that
[16:01:44] <Runaway1956> Of course, in NY, it takes as much money to start a small business as it would take to start a major corporation elsewhere
[16:02:01] <FatPhil> probably some mafia you need to bribe too!
[16:02:13] <Runaway1956> Rent on a small storefront in NY would buy ten city blocks in some other cities
[16:02:42] <Runaway1956> Or a hundred acre farm in flyover country
[16:02:43] <FatPhil> hey, dey're a family business too, capice?
[16:03:50] <progo> all the unoccupied NYC storefronts are literally asking for more rent money (a year ago) than what the market is willing to pay. no business comes to them and says "yes I can make enough revenue to cover the rent you're asking". the MORTAGE on the building stipulates a certain property value which dictates rent. rent CANNOT go down because the MORTGAGE is owned by a loose collection of investors who don't even know each other; not owned by a bank
[16:03:50] <progo> with an account manager
[16:03:57] <progo> it's gridlock
[16:04:15] <progo> you can't negotiate with a bunch of investors that don't know each other
[16:04:31] <khallow> FatPhil, my bet is someone is already buying up those properties.
[16:05:14] <FatPhil> possibly. quite possibly russians...
[16:05:23] <progo> other cities' profits in Starbucks and Verizon stores pay for NYC chain stores because they HAVE to have a presence here
[16:05:33] <Runaway1956> Why is it always the Russians? My money is on the Chinese!
[16:05:44] <FatPhil> proximity
[16:05:54] <FatPhil> there's only one river between us
[16:06:14] <FatPhil> (with 2 rather pretty castles on either side, recommended if you ever do tourism round the baltic)
[16:06:19] <Runaway1956> well you need a proximity fuse on that river
[16:06:27] <Ingar> see Louis Rossmann's rents on NYC business property
[16:07:41] <progo> yeah Louis Rossman's videos are the source for my rant
[16:08:39] <FatPhil> Woh - TIL Baskin Robbins is part of Arby's
[16:09:25] <FatPhil> Which is also associated with Dunkin' Donuts.

[20:30:58] <requerdanos> Looks like the body cam video from here. Odd.
[20:37:28] <Runaway1956> OK, the video is there, but the page has been updated since you posted it - I had to watch two other videos before I got to the bodycam
[20:38:47] <Runaway1956> As usual, multiple cops standing around, none of them are willing to get physical and force the guy to submit - their solution is always a weapon
[20:39:17] <Runaway1956> in this case, I can believe she meant to fire her taser, but still, three cops can't physically subdue one man
[20:39:32] <Runaway1956> "Oh, I might get a bruise!"
[21:26:28] <FatPhil> didn't you read the report - he was armed with an air-freshener!
