[06:28:29] <Nemesis> Hi, domed Soylentils!
[06:31:40] <janrinok> Hi doomed accounts
[06:37:25] <Nemesis> Getting the hang of the journal entries, janrinok? Getting lots of comments, which is good. Of course, since you have forced all the "true" ACs that way, well you get what you sow.
[06:41:04] <janrinok> The journals are part of our site. We have achieved exactly what we were trying to achieve.
[06:42:15] <Nemesis> Censorship of left-leaning voices critical of the alt-right and fascists? Well done, Chamberlain! Peace in our time!
[06:44:31] <janrinok> Left wing members of our community can also publish journals. And we don't censor any political discourse. Your former journals are still there for anyone to see. And if you have half a brain you would have worked out how you could still post new discussions in your journals. But, of course, you lack even that....#
[06:45:49] <Nemesis> Unless, like aristarchus, they have been banned on false pretences. I am not aristarchus. I am Nemesis called forth by your banning of aristarchus. Repent, or you will be destroyed!
[06:46:33] <janrinok> Funny that you should be using one of aristarchus' emails addresses then........
[06:48:04] <janrinok> Do you really want me to show how big an idiot you are on here for all to see?
[06:48:15] <janrinok> have a good day!
[07:03:36] <Nemesis> I have not registered an account, I am not responsible for anyone who has. Do you not understand how IRC works? Do you really want me to show what an ignorant moron you are, for all to see? But, they already know.
[07:39:04] <FatPhil> It must be wonderful to have the memory of pondlife - every day you can meet the same people at your carehome and make new friends.

[08:10:03] <chromas> hm, Tucker Carlson spotted at 3:27 in that vid
[08:11:42] <Nemesis> Was he engaged in the tanning of the old ballsacks?
[08:12:28] <chromas> those ballsacs don't tan
[08:15:59] <Nemesis> Whiter than white, then? Albino, or sterile and alabaster.
[08:16:35] <chromas> Ya gots ta click the vid to know

[09:00:28] <Runaway1956> Damned boomers are starting to get under my skin
[09:00:41] <Runaway1956> now they want me to join the Silver Sneakers club
[09:00:58] <Runaway1956> I don't wear sneakers, sure as hell wouldn't wear SILVER sneakers
[09:01:13] <Runaway1956> never hung out with old people except my own relatives
[09:01:18] <Runaway1956> don't plan to start now
[09:01:33] <Runaway1956> damned BOOMERS!!
[09:01:45] <FatPhil> We know, you won't give up your crocs for anything
[09:02:09] <Runaway1956> Hey, that would be a good fight: Woleverines vs crocs
[09:02:27] <inz> I'm waiting to join the silver fox club, but alas not quite there yet.
[09:02:31] <janrinok> I figure him more of a sandals and socks man, myself...
[09:02:39] <FatPhil> A german?!?!?
[09:02:52] <janrinok> steady on - I didn't go that far!
[09:03:11] <FatPhil> I reckon waders filled with eels would be a good match
[09:03:19] <Runaway1956> and there's STILL NO RAIN!
[09:03:28] <Runaway1956> can't keep eels in your waders with no rain
[09:04:22] <Runaway1956> and they continue to find old decayed bodies in lakes and rivers because of it
[09:04:47] <Runaway1956> none found with silver sneakers though
[09:04:54] <janrinok> you can't blame the eels for that... Oh, I see what you mean
[09:05:23] <Runaway1956> has anyone made coffee?
[09:06:32] <chromas> oh yeah, it's right here
[09:07:36] <Runaway1956> Ahhhh, the Nectar of the Bolivians, way up there next to the gods
[09:08:26] <Nemesis> But, Runaway is the archetypical Boomer. How does he knot sea this?
[09:08:29] <Runaway1956> Anyway, one of my silly headlines says not to take the heat too Siriusly.
[09:08:35] <janrinok> anyway, it is not grey, it is more correctly termed geriatric blond
[09:11:54] <Nemesis> Geriatric comb-over blond ignorant morons?

[09:17:52] <Runaway1956> never mind that it's costing big bucks for the water bill to water a corner of the garden
[09:18:04] <Runaway1956> and no eels with the water

[11:27:42] <FatPhil> I've lost my google-fu. What's the name of the ratio of the typical lifetime energy generated to the energy required to build/fuel/maintain/decommission an energy source. E.g. fossil fuels are about 25:1, wind's about 5:1, hydro-electric 30:1, nuclear 60:1.
[11:29:01] <janrinok> Energy Return Investment - ERI
[11:29:50] <FatPhil> EROI! Yup!
[11:30:19] <FatPhil> there's an "on" in there, if you want to be grammatical
[11:30:35] <janrinok> Yeah, probably
[11:31:13] <janrinok> one source quotes the O, the second doesn't

[15:12:08] <FatPhil> robotranslation of an announcement for a beer festival "There will be prizes for the best and you can also try your hand at children."
[15:14:16] <janrinok> that could mean so many things ....
[15:22:07] <FatPhil> I think it means there will be prizes for the best (the context is that there will be various games), and children can try their hand too.
[15:22:26] <FatPhil> all disappointingly innocent, alas
[15:23:37] <FatPhil> It's a crazy beerfest - run by a local brewery, one of the earliest craft ones in the country. It normally only has ~40 beers, but me & my mates normally take about 40 of our own, sometimes more, and have our own little festival within a festival.
[15:24:27] <FatPhil> This year it will be different, as last year they were bought out by a Danish macro, and nobody likes them any more. They screwed over their crowdfunders.
[15:24:50] <progo> they got non-alcohol beer for the kids, get them used to the flavor?
[15:26:09] <janrinok> that was my thought too - at least of the more innocent ones.
[15:36:21] <FatPhil> I remember loving "Top Deck" shandy when I was only single digits
[15:36:31] <FatPhil> start'em young!
[15:37:08] <progo> I went to a tavern for brunch recently and it was sweltering weather and I ordered a non-alcohol beer. I forget what it was but it tasted good
[15:37:24] <FatPhil> I also remember being disappointed when it dropped from 1.8% to 1.2%
[15:37:43] <FatPhil> very few LAs are good
[15:38:42] <FatPhil> the poles have (had, alas) a wonderful style called grodzyskie, which is about half the strength of a proper beer
