[00:14:11] <Runaway1956> well, yeah, but you should be systemd enabled by now

[13:23:16] <inz> You seem to have a lot of foes today
[13:23:54] <Bytram> resume-writing: (past tense) is it: "Lead fundraising efforts" or "Led fundraising efforts"
[13:24:56] <inz> A mnemonic for lead: it's the opposite of read
[13:26:23] * Bytram was strongly leaning towards "lead", because "led" looks too much like "LED"
[13:26:56] <requerdanos> rhyming with said: led, "did lead"; lead, "heavy metal"
[13:27:58] <inz> Some people claim that finnish is the hardest language to learn, but at least you know how to write a word when you hear it
[13:28:24] <inz> Except if you need to hyphenate, then there's one exception
[13:28:29] <Bytram> it is 90F in my apartment and I can barely put thoughts together. Should I use "lead"?
[13:28:39] <requerdanos> I say "Led"
[13:28:48] <inz> Me too
[13:29:00] <Bytram> TY!
[13:29:07] <requerdanos> "lead fundraising efforts" looks like present tense, "led fundraising efforts" past tense

[13:30:45] <inz> Yes, we would.
[13:30:57] * Teckla chuckles.
[13:31:14] <requerdanos> well, some say coffee has to be bitter and nasty to be authentic. I say drink it however you like it.
[13:31:35] <Teckla> Bytram: I'm not sure if I'm being grammatically correct here, but to me, "lead" implies current tense (i.e., still doing it), and "led" implies past tense (i.e., not doing it anymore). Not sure if that helps.
[13:31:57] <Teckla> That being said, I think lead can be either.
[13:32:16] <Teckla> Bytram: Does your apartment not have air conditioning?
[13:32:21] <Teckla> I'd die without air conditioning.
[13:32:41] <inz> I guess read read read causes some confusion with lead led led

[13:33:17] <requerdanos> I don't put anything in my coffee but cream (or sometimes milk), and enjoy it that way.
[13:33:39] * Teckla also uses cream :)
[13:33:54] <Teckla> Not milk or Half & Half. Pure cream. Not half measures!

[13:34:25] <inz> double cream?
[13:34:32] <Teckla> What's double cream?
[13:34:51] <Teckla> One thing that's really good in coffee is Bailey's Irish Cream. Highly recommended.
[13:35:11] <requerdanos> I feel bad that I don't like coffee with bailey's, but I find it nasty
[13:35:29] <requerdanos> I support it in principle, but don't like the taste.
[13:35:48] <inz> Real cream is around 35% fat, double cream is around 48%
[13:35:58] <requerdanos> aka heavy cream, maybe
[13:36:22] <requerdanos> at 48% you're getting close to just using butter
[13:36:53] <inz> Probably has more names, here we don't even have such product :(
[13:37:53] <requerdanos> what are the milk/cream choices where you are?
[13:38:04] <Teckla> inz: Oh, interesting.
[13:38:15] * Teckla uses heavy cream.
[13:38:32] <Teckla> requerdanos: Do you not like Bailey's in general, or just specifically dislike it in coffee?
[13:38:55] <requerdanos> I have only tried it in coffee, and since I think coffee is yummy, I guess I just don't like bailey's
[13:39:00] <Bytram> Teckla: no A/C. I *could* put in a window unit, but when it rains it makes so much noise I cannot sleep. It's rare to *ever* exceed 90F here, never mind this early in the season and temps should get back in the 70s tomorrow.
[13:39:42] <Teckla> Bytram: Good to hear it'll get back to more comfortable temperatures for you tomorrow.
[13:39:54] <requerdanos> hope you have at least a fan going :)

[13:46:19] <Teckla> My wife buys "heavy whipping cream" -- that's what I use in my coffee.
[13:46:47] <requerdanos> I find half and half to be about 99% as yummy, and much less expensive. Your caffeinated mileage may vary.

[14:32:07] <FatPhil> raxas: how is my statement that someone is a foe by setting a flag different from my statement to someone in a post that they're a foe?
[14:32:32] <requerdanos> "administratively so"
[14:32:46] <FatPhil> what's administrative about my opinion?
[14:32:53] <raxas> if it was just me, I'd do two separate databases by purpose. for security reason and for technical stability reason
[14:33:23] <Runaway1956> If it was me, there would be no database because I don't know how to set it up . . .

[14:40:44] <Runaway1956> ORCA would sound cool, stuck in there somewhere, swirling around at random

[14:44:48] <Runaway1956> You can claim to be related, go to a judge for a red flag hearing, have his databases taken away
[14:45:59] <raxas> I can handle ancient dbf files in post-modern awk, call that an elitism. but the problem of collective project like sn is _stable_ technology. mysql is not such
[14:46:19] <raxas> it just collapses now and then, for no apparent reason
[14:46:39] <raxas> that was why "clouds" were invented
[14:46:50] <FatPhil> that's not my problem with mysql/mariadb
[14:47:21] <raxas> do you have a post-mortem analysis what really happened in last incident?
[14:47:27] <FatPhil> my problem is that you are forced to make too many choices between too many things that are all just a bit sub-par.
[14:49:00] <FatPhil> I define the data and how bits of it relate to other bits of it. It is *absolutely not my job* to select the implementation that's best, that's the engine's job.
[14:49:02] <Teckla> raxas: Thanks for the information about separating database concerns.
[14:49:48] <FatPhil> innodb vs. isam vs. wtfdb? GFY.
[14:50:03] <requerdanos> uh, innodb.
[14:50:25] <requerdanos> or the wtfdb would be okay too, now that I think about it
[14:54:57] <raxas> another question is what a hosting is able to provide. mysql and other cheap relatives for unwashed mass consumers only

[16:03:40] <FatPhil> If you were taking a photo of something distant, and I asked you to point to the "focal plane", would you point at the thing you were photographing, or would you take your lens off and jab your finger at the sensor?

[19:58:00] <raxas> girls do that in any age. instinct?

[19:58:09] <kyonko> girls do that in any age?

[20:07:45] <raxas> even trivial tasks as neatly combing their hair or cooking good food makes girls happy. it's about dedication and intent to care
[20:07:49] <kyonko> not really in the mood for this, but you treat the cursed princess like a leper and doing so causes some (sexual) healer to appear and fix her
[20:09:22] <raxas> cursed princess was divorced, she was really broken by her husband

[22:07:38] <kyonko> so you were there when the girls started getting the pig tails with the marble elastic bands
[22:07:39] <requerdanos> probably explains my ignorance in the matter of electronics.
[22:09:49] <kyonko> electronics are damn near impossible to understand
[22:10:24] <kyonko> if anything works at all is by parroting something lacking philosophy and art
[22:11:02] <kyonko> like parroting 'earth is round'

[22:18:16] <kyonko> look at how getting government permission to emit radio waves has turned out
[22:18:32] <kyonko> its the electronic equivalent of gun control
[22:18:43] <kyonko> but do you need permission to generate electric light?

[22:19:56] <kyonko> well only "god" knows

[22:20:24] <kyonko> yeah and then there is cool down to rigor mortis
[22:20:30] <FatPhil> It's a broad spectrum
[22:21:08] <AzumaHazuki> well, yes, everything above 0K has a characteristic blackbody spectrum
[22:21:39] <kyonko> why is butcher meat not in rigor mortis?
[22:21:47] <kyonko> because of the kosher rabbi present?
[22:21:52] <AzumaHazuki> Wien's Law IIRC gives the peak emision as a function of temperature, and Stefan's Law the luminosity as proportional to the fourth power of temperature...which strikes me as really weird
[22:22:11] <kyonko> you..... memorized that?
[22:22:18] <AzumaHazuki> of course
[22:22:26] <kyonko> and you are just a pharmacy tech?

[22:26:00] <kyonko> beans are good, but in some people, like me, they cause satanic emanation
[22:26:17] <AzumaHazuki> sorry to hear that. they just make me fart
[22:26:26] <kyonko> in latin american culture, the virgin mary smells like roses
[22:26:32] <kyonko> oh yeah you just pass wind
[22:26:59] <AzumaHazuki> right, but not, like, evil spirits. you should get your colon exorcised
[22:27:15] <kyonko> uh huh yeah I know about the colonoscopy, it needs a lot of care
[22:27:26] <kyonko> or you can swallow the cam pill
[22:27:36] <kyonko> which requires less care
[22:27:38] <AzumaHazuki> make sure you pay your exorcist or you'll get re-possessed :v

[23:31:23] <mechanicjay> nice. I picked up a teletype off the side of the road in the fall.
[23:31:51] <mechanicjay> Gave it to my friend who has a better capacity to fix it up -- and also the proper machine to pair it with :)

[23:34:24] <Bytram> clicky
[23:35:30] <mechanicjay> if you go up a directory level, you can click a few others for some detail shots -- I coiuldn't be arsed to link the auto-gallery script to that dir
[23:35:40] <Bytram> np
[23:36:02] <Bytram> I see the paper tape reader and punch on the LHS
[23:36:40] <Bytram> built-in keypad for dialing out?
[23:38:10] <mechanicjay> Yeah, so that unit, *looks* like it was a Western Union telegram machine. It has the dial pad and underneath the "data set" or the modem if you will. All all in one machine, to dial another office's machine and chunk out a message!
[23:40:38] <Bytram> are ALL of those pics of that teletype, including: http://archives.smbfc.net
[23:41:03] <Bytram> look at all those relays and huge capacitors!
[23:41:33] <mechanicjay> Yep, that's the Data set -- 110 BAUD!
[23:43:15] <Bytram> I distinctly recall it was *heavy* for such a relatively small device... now I know why!
[23:52:43] <mechanicjay> I really like the old stuff, when computing was a full sensory experience. I don't really have the room for the bigger older stuff. So I stick to late 70's / Early 80's micro-computers for the most part -- which is still an engangin sensory experience.
