[00:13:25] <SirFinkus> just got a KFC famous bowl, for when eating everything you can get at kfc separately is too much trouble.
[00:14:06] <SirFinkus> it's good for you
[00:14:18] <SirFinkus> it hardens the arteries, and makes them more resiliant

[00:37:42] <SirFinkus> I'm trying to learn how to do this
[00:38:48] <Ethanol-fueled> Those are some wicked rasguedos
[00:39:15] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Google DeepMind's AlphaGo Beats "Go" Champion Using Neural Networks - http://sylnt.us - going-deep
[00:39:22] <Ethanol-fueled> he can do them machine-gun style. The best I can do is one up-down and way slow at that.
[00:39:44] <SirFinkus> I'm going to start with the clapping and work my way up
[00:39:55] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahaha
[00:40:00] <SirFinkus> is rasguedos when he smacks the strings with the backs of his fingers?
[00:40:02] <SirFinkus> using his nails?
[00:40:14] <SirFinkus> I think that's what he's doing anyway
[00:40:21] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, it;s kinda like a "harp roll" or "glissando"
[00:40:34] <Ethanol-fueled> you dont necessarily use nails, you can use the fingertip flesh
[00:40:57] <Ethanol-fueled> he does them as fast as I can speed-pick only one note.
[00:41:15] <SirFinkus> I've tried that, but I can't get the notes to separate, so I suspect there's some sweep picking like motion with the left hand
[00:41:38] <Ethanol-fueled> that's pretty much what it is - sweep-picking with your fingertips.
[00:42:37] <Ethanol-fueled> for effect you can do slower ones up and down the length around the soundhole to get tonal variations
[00:42:52] <Ethanol-fueled> kinda like a sideways "s" pattern...or perhaps a tilde pattern.

[00:46:17] <Ethanol-fueled> Now that's a bastard with two gimmicks - a fuckfat-necked guitarra and the ability to fingerpick slow melodies while rapid-picking pedal notes with his m and a fingers
[00:46:47] <SirFinkus> that's neat
[00:46:50] <Ethanol-fueled> er, the a and the pinky fingers.
[00:47:32] <SirFinkus> the guitar seems like a gimmick
[00:47:35] <Ethanol-fueled> No, I got that wrong.
[00:47:50] <SirFinkus> it's pima, I don't know what pinky is
[00:48:05] * SirFinkus never picks with his pinky
[00:48:07] <Ethanol-fueled> he's not that good , he's playing the melody with hsi thumb and wasting the rest of his fingers with the budbudbududbudbddbebebdbebdebdbebdb
[00:48:18] <Ethanol-fueled> use that pinky, bro. Make it strong.
[00:48:40] <SirFinkus> I've only just started using my fingers
[00:49:01] <SirFinkus> pretty hardcore left hand pinky skills though
[00:49:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Learn the exotic seventh chords and fret the "D" chord with your pinky on the 4th fret of the 4th string (rather than using an open 4th string)
[00:49:24] <cmn32480> how were you playing before? with yer toes?
[00:49:26] <SirFinkus> I just don't use it picking
[00:49:30] <SirFinkus> using a pick?
[00:49:37] <cmn32480> picking your nose?
[00:49:41] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh, derp.
[00:50:01] <Ethanol-fueled> when you get it strong it helps wtih arpeggios

[00:50:40] <SirFinkus> I can even pull off the occasional full step bend with it, I don't very often though
[00:50:52] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh, nice. and the next flamenco youtube vid is the "hey look, I'm a girl doing this" vid. NEXT!
[00:51:21] <SirFinkus> like, youtube girl, or professional musician?
[00:51:30] <Ethanol-fueled> pro, but still.
[00:51:48] <SirFinkus> meh, at that level you've got to be good
[00:51:56] <SirFinkus> I'd give her some credit
[00:52:15] <SirFinkus> it's not stand up comedy
[00:52:20] <Ethanol-fueled> I'd say she's better than I am ( which almost anybody is at this point) but not groundbreaking.
[00:53:38] <Ethanol-fueled> Female stand-up comedy is pretty horrible.
[00:53:50] <Ethanol-fueled> The males are bad too, but they were at least good back in the day.
[00:53:55] <SirFinkus> surprised nobody took that bait

[00:54:32] <crutchy> why does this remind me of that 'plague' game?
[00:54:35] <SirFinkus> there are still a few good comics out there, but I've never seen a funny female standup
[00:54:47] <SirFinkus> because it's a plague?
[00:55:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Female comics are like, "I have a vagina." *pauses for audience laughter* "I have lots of sex, often with Black men" *pauses for audience laughter*
[00:55:28] -!- Subsentient has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:56:04] <SirFinkus> occasionally I go heckle the local comics, the females aren't even on that level, they'll just tell a story and expect it to be funny
[00:56:11] <SirFinkus> you know, girl stories
[00:56:23] <SirFinkus> the guys at least try and write jokes
[00:57:02] <Ethanol-fueled> The best joke I heard from a local female comedian was that "Black guys" and "Black eyes" were the same
[00:57:15] <SirFinkus> last time I went, a landwhale was talking about how she was walking around the house naked and forgot she left the blinds open and was SO embarrassed
[00:57:28] * Ethanol-fueled kneads dick
[00:57:47] <SirFinkus> I was trying to bait an amy schumer response, given current events
[00:58:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeech. She's like Lena Dunham. Not funny, but a Jew, so everybody gets to know about her.
[00:58:35] <SirFinkus> naw, dude, she's been mencia'd
[00:58:43] <SirFinkus> she's been ripping off jokes for years
[00:58:55] <SirFinkus> and it just went "viral"
[00:59:03] <SirFinkus> as much as I hate the term
[00:59:07] <Ethanol-fueled> that's so lame.
[00:59:11] <SirFinkus> it was on GMA
[00:59:29] <SirFinkus> it's hilarious, I can't stand amy schumer
[00:59:35] <Ethanol-fueled> I've heard local comedians are using the "Jew-Jitsu joke"
[00:59:47] <SirFinkus> even if the jokes worked, her stage presence is awful
[00:59:54] <SirFinkus> after every joke she begs for laughs
[01:00:06] <SirFinkus> her body language says "I mean, rigth?!?"
[01:01:30] <SirFinkus> oh, and did you that when she was younger she shoplifted over 100k worth of shit?
[01:02:02] <Ethanol-fueled> I didn't hear that but would have no trouble believing it.
[01:02:19] <Ethanol-fueled> shoplifing is the crime of
[01:02:27] <Ethanol-fueled> "pay more attention to me, mommy and daddy!"
[01:03:06] <SirFinkus> I just love watching the implosion
[01:03:20] <Ethanol-fueled> what implosion?
[01:03:23] <SirFinkus> only reason I know about her is that my sister is a huge fan
[01:03:26] <SirFinkus> of her career
[01:03:31] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh, haha
[01:03:36] <Ethanol-fueled> fink, is your sister legal?
[01:03:41] <SirFinkus> yes
[01:03:44] <Ethanol-fueled> Pic or gtfo
[01:03:51] <SirFinkus> don't have one
[01:03:59] <Ethanol-fueled> you cold-hearted bastard.

[01:08:32] <crutchy> ol janet yellen would have been giving herself a good friggin over what the boj did
[01:08:46] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, if those fuckers try negative interest rates on my monies I'm grabbin' muh gun.
[01:09:30] <crutchy> they will because it already has proven to inflate stocks. that's all they care about
[01:09:44] <SirFinkus> I don't understand, why doesn't the government just print more money? Then everybody could be rich
[01:10:08] <SirFinkus> Washington just needs some common sense politicians

[01:10:24] <SirFinkus> you know, guys you'd want to have a beer with
[01:10:52] <Ethanol-fueled> Karl Rove sounds like a cool guy to have a beer with.
[01:10:57] <SirFinkus> actually, it'd be pretty fun to have a beer with one of the real lizard people like Karl Rove
[01:10:58] <SirFinkus> lol
[01:10:59] <crutchy> they only say that printing money is good for a while. if they actually kept printing money they know there's a risk of ending up like zimbabwe
[01:11:05] <SirFinkus> or Cheney
[01:11:10] <SirFinkus> get them drunk and ranting
[01:11:33] <Ethanol-fueled> Cheney would rant, and probably shoot you with his CCW, but Rove would probably be bro-tier
[01:12:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Even Obama would be bro-tier assuming that the "bathhouse Barry" rumors aren't true.
[01:12:23] <SirFinkus> oh shit
[01:12:29] <SirFinkus> you know who the best would be?
[01:12:30] <SirFinkus> putin
[01:12:43] <crutchy> putin would be awesome to have a beer with
[01:12:45] <SirFinkus> he'd probably put polonium in your drink though
[01:12:54] <SirFinkus> bring the geiger counter
[01:12:58] <Ethanol-fueled> putin is kinda weird.
[01:13:02] <crutchy> except i'd probably be shitting myself the whole time
[01:13:19] <crutchy> yeah maybe not awesome
[01:13:26] <SirFinkus> but if you got him talking
[01:13:32] <SirFinkus> you'd hear some shit
[01:13:54] <SirFinkus> he's also pretty funny
[01:14:12] <crutchy> yeah and then at the end "hahaha... yeah... well... so sorry but now i have to kill you"
[01:14:28] <SirFinkus> I watched one of his q/a things during that crimea thing, and he was asked jokingly about taking back alaska too
[01:14:39] <SirFinkus> and he said there were no plans to annex ice crimea
[01:14:47] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHAHAHAH
[01:16:11] <crutchy> if russia invaded alaska, what could the US really do? send bombers and tanks maybe, but at risk of starting ww3. i dunno if any potus would have the balls
[01:16:48] <SirFinkus> angela merkel is afraid of dogs, so once when putin met with her he brought this dog in with him https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com
[01:17:00] <SirFinkus> just to fuck with her
[01:17:01] <Ethanol-fueled> HAHAHAH, if russia invaded Alaska, WWIII would have been started as soon as the radars on the coast and aleutian islands detected the movements.
[01:17:10] <Ethanol-fueled> That was awesome, Fink.
[01:17:30] <SirFinkus> that's a funny thing to do
[01:17:31] <Ethanol-fueled> She's afraid of Black dogs, but she'll invite millions of them into the country
[01:17:44] <crutchy> but would anyone in america really have the cahunas to start a nuclear war with russia?

[01:19:01] <SirFinkus> that's because all the wars have been bullshit
[01:19:02] <Ethanol-fueled> Now at least.
[01:19:16] <SirFinkus> if russia invaded the US, that would change instantly
[01:19:22] <SirFinkus> or any other country
[01:19:27] <SirFinkus> invaded I mean
[01:19:28] <Ethanol-fueled> or if...a FALSE FLAG were to happen.
[01:19:36] <crutchy> maybe. i dunno if russia would buy that though
[01:19:43] <crutchy> they have balls
[01:19:48] <Ethanol-fueled> like the Ziti virus
[01:19:51] <SirFinkus> russia wouldn't do it because they're not retarded
[01:20:03] <crutchy> they might just to test
[01:20:18] <SirFinkus> invade alaska as a test?
[01:20:21] <SirFinkus> lolololol
[01:20:27] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, that is pretty hilarious....because the EU is the only bloc of powers which is acting the most collectively retarted now.
[01:20:29] <crutchy> not full scale invasion
[01:20:35] <crutchy> more like what they did in ukraine
[01:20:39] <crutchy> 'little green men'
[01:20:48] <SirFinkus> not even that crutchy
[01:20:55] <crutchy> then deny it

[01:22:53] <SirFinkus> what does he gain by invading alaska?
[01:23:26] <crutchy> true, but its because he's not dumb that makes him dangerous

[01:38:15] <Ethanol-fueled> what, fink? A shit job or American Beauty?
[01:38:41] <SirFinkus> booze
[01:38:43] <BadCoderFinger> My honesty threshold is 3 beers. After that, you're bloody hearing what I think of you.
[01:38:52] <SirFinkus> hitchen's peak
[01:39:00] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[01:39:19] * Ethanol-fueled wrote all his best troll-journals sober
[01:39:26] <SirFinkus> I read back what I wrote and it isn't incoherent babble, so I must be doing something right
[01:40:03] <Ethanol-fueled> It dumbs you down. And if you think too much, that's a good thing when making a point or communicating with normie scum.
[01:40:16] <SirFinkus> any of my wall of text posts on soylentnew usually involves 2 beers
[01:40:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Those are pretty good
[01:41:34] <SirFinkus> oh, I brought up an uncomfortable question in class today
[01:42:09] <Ethanol-fueled> what was it?
[01:42:26] <SirFinkus> we watched a video (what else would we do in a classroom) about how doctors in india aren't allowed to tell women the gender of their fetus so they won't abort the girls
[01:42:51] <SirFinkus> which everyone thought was terrible
[01:42:58] <SirFinkus> that they'd abort only the girls
[01:43:14] <SirFinkus> so I asked if women should have to justify their abortions
[01:43:20] <SirFinkus> which broke a few minds I think
[01:44:06] <Ethanol-fueled> Brilliant.
[01:44:26] <Ethanol-fueled> Inducing cognitive dissonnance in the cunts.
[01:45:29] <SirFinkus> the conclusion they came to was that it was bad that they were aborting the girls, but better than killing them later
[01:45:51] <SirFinkus> and anger
[01:46:01] <SirFinkus> got the evil eye from some dyke
[01:46:04] <SirFinkus> what does she care?
[01:46:37] <SirFinkus> she's not going to get pregnant from cunnilingus
[01:46:46] <crutchy> abortion is an issue. just not for the federal government
[01:46:53] <Ethanol-fueled> !grab SirFinkus
[01:46:53] <Bender> Added quote 659
[01:47:08] <crutchy> worse case the states can take care of it
[01:47:28] <crutchy> then if someone wants to abort and they're in a state than bans it, they can move to a different state
[01:47:39] <SirFinkus> I don't really care/know enough about the issue to have a good opinion on it
[01:47:40] <BadCoderFinger> People often find the weirdest things to get on a crusade about.
[01:47:42] <Ethanol-fueled> abortion is an issue only for countries where people abort based on gender
[01:47:49] <Ethanol-fueled> philosophy be damned.
[01:48:10] <crutchy> but people seem to still get their knickers in a twist about it, on both sides
[01:48:15] <SirFinkus> both sides seem ridiculously absolutionist, no room for nuance
[01:48:22] <Ethanol-fueled> In modern countries we abort because the babby's unwanted or gonna live a horrible life of being a ratard or vegetabel
[01:48:23] <crutchy> so if they're gunna fight, fight in state legislature
[01:48:50] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[01:49:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Let those people which abort based on gender do so. Let them turn their societies into inbred hives of sex-starved male neets
[01:49:45] <Ethanol-fueled> BahahahahHAAAAAAA
[01:50:03] <SirFinkus> my first suck at the issue is that the first trimester stuff should be legal, and generally available
[01:50:10] <SirFinkus> latter it gets more and more iffy
[01:50:14] <BadCoderFinger> Hey Bytram!
[01:50:16] <SirFinkus> later even
[01:50:48] <crutchy> SirFinkus, i think that's how its looked at here too
[01:50:55] <crutchy> first trimester not normally an issue
[01:51:13] <SirFinkus> but really, both sides of the debate seem retarded
[01:51:19] <crutchy> true
[01:51:21] <Ethanol-fueled> Third-trimester abortion is nasty and no doubt the baby feels pain from it, but would you want to subject a kid to a nasty, brutish life of being unwanted?
[01:51:46] <SirFinkus> the anti abortion guys think life begins when the guy jizzes, and the pro abortion people want to abort all the things
[01:51:55] <Ethanol-fueled> You would rather see a likelihood of somebody living a miserable life than dying quickly before they know what life is?
[01:52:10] <crutchy> so if i whack off am i a mass murderer?
[01:52:13] <Ethanol-fueled> I believe in nuance too, but I also believe in euthanasia. Bahah
[01:52:18] <SirFinkus> at a certain point, it doesn't become the mother's choice

[02:02:42] <paulej72> Once the root is canaled there is not much left to keep you in pain. The nerves are gone.
[02:02:45] * SirFinkus slips cmn32480 a hydrocodone
[02:03:08] * cmn32480 greatfully accepts
[02:03:20] <paulej72> I got a sheet metal cut the other day
[02:03:29] * SirFinkus is listening to The Velvet Underground — I'm Waiting For The Man, from the album The Velvet Underground & Nico
[02:03:50] <cmn32480> I found that the best thing after getting my wisdom teeth out was a wet Lipton (or some other brand) teabag in the socket to help dull the pain
[02:04:15] <SirFinkus> I'd rather have someone piss in my mouth than drink lipton
[02:04:23] <crutchy> o.O
[02:04:44] * crutchy is unable to make such comparison :p

[02:05:48] <paulej72> When I got my wisdom teeth out I was on Percocet, but not for very long. Did not take a full course.
[02:06:11] <SirFinkus> yeah, real talk, that shit scares the crap out of me
[02:06:18] <cmn32480> put a teabag in the socket from the removed tooth
[02:06:21] <cmn32480> nofgra
[02:06:35] <SirFinkus> I take as few as possible
[02:06:39] <cmn32480> and the tea has a natural pain killer in it, and helps to prevent dry sockets
[02:07:04] <SirFinkus> so does cunnilingus
[02:07:17] <SirFinkus> unless it's the *other* socket
[02:07:27] <paulej72> My gums were stitched closed over my wisdom teeth so no sockets to deal with
[02:07:29] <crutchy> my wife drinks dilmah tea
[02:07:34] <cmn32480> the "other" socket requires KY

[02:40:25] <SirFinkus> hyper-miling?
[02:40:34] <Ethanol-fueled> What do you think about engine-braking, Bytram?

[02:41:38] <Bytram> Ethanol-fueled: I'm all for engine braking. even though my current car has an auto transmission, I take advantage of engine braking where I can.
[02:41:39] <SirFinkus> aggressive shifting is much more fun though
[02:42:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Bytram, engine-braking is one of those things I always disliked as a redneck artifact. Sure, it's loud, and if you have passengers who don't know how to drive stick it's fun and it excites them, but it's fuckbad for the clutch.
[02:43:12] <Bytram> never had a problem with it because I always double-clutched to match engine revs before re-engaging gears
[02:43:15] <Ethanol-fueled> and the clutch in an FWD transaxle is a bitch to replace
[02:43:58] <Bytram> oh, let me be clear. I generally do NOT downshift an auto tranny to slow the car down; just let up on the gas and let the parasitic losses and engine slow me down some.
[02:44:10] <Bytram> on a stick shift, then I'd double clutch and down shift
[02:44:26] <Bytram> had the original clutch in that car when I took it in for brakes at 98k miles

[02:45:23] <Runaway1956> EF - engine braking isn't bad, unless an aggressive jerk is doing the downshifting.
[02:45:30] <Ethanol-fueled> just a flick of the wrist, really
[02:45:50] <Ethanol-fueled> Runaway1956, it's bad for the clutch.

[02:46:37] <Runaway1956> I've driven everything up to an 18 speed
[02:46:51] <SirFinkus> it's fine as long as you can match the revs
[02:46:58] <Runaway1956> and no, not all trucks have jake brakes - they cost extra, a lot of owners won't buy them
[02:47:19] -!- BadCoderFinger has quit [Quit: ENOBEER]
[02:47:23] <Runaway1956> That is key to downshifting SirFinkus - get the revolutions right, and it slips into place.
[02:47:49] * Ethanol-fueled once saw a motherfucker drive a car with no clutch
[02:47:57] <paulej72> Thing with 18 speed, you basically rev it up,sir a,few seconds and it is time to up shift again
[02:47:58] <Ethanol-fueled> starting in reverse.
[02:48:11] <SanityCheck> we need to launch a spin off of soylent, that will be total polar opposite of jezebel, and we can talk about autos
[02:48:16] <Ethanol-fueled> pauley, you have like high and low for every gear.
[02:48:57] <Runaway1956> Correct, a flick of the thumb shifts from 5th to 6th, you have to move the shifter to go from 6th to 7th
[02:49:41] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm talking about plebe cars, Runaway1956. You move the shifter in an irregular Benz-style path toward the "D" position.
[02:49:53] <Runaway1956> depending on which transmission you have - not all 18 speeds have the same shift pattern
[02:49:54] <paulej72> Yeah I know, my dad was a coal truck driver. 13 speed Rockwell in a 76 Mack R body with the 8 cylinder Mack engine
[02:50:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Then in that position there is a little upper and lower detent for flicking up or down
[02:50:28] <Runaway1956> Ooooooh - 8 cylinder Mack - I could get excited here!
[02:50:53] <paulej72> He had over a million miles on that truck
[02:51:42] <Runaway1956> Uh-huh, lots of trucks go over a million miles. I've known of two that reached 14 million.
[02:52:20] <Bytram> 500k miles will (approximately) get you to the moon and back
[02:52:28] <Runaway1956> In each case, the owners retired when their trucks got to 14 million. One, an old black guy in New Jersey, the other an old cowboy in Texas.
[02:53:00] <Ethanol-fueled> Runaway, was that before truckers had to keep 2 sets of books?
[02:53:17] <Runaway1956> Truckers no longer keep log books - it's all done by computer.
[02:53:32] <SanityCheck> wait how many digits on the odometer
[02:53:33] <Runaway1956> Us bad boys didn't keep "log books" anyway - we used loose-leaf logs
[02:53:34] <Ethanol-fueled> Does that mean they actually have to sleep now?!
[02:54:01] <Runaway1956> Seven digits on the odometer
[02:54:04] * Bytram offers Runaway1956 a rake to gather his loose leafs
[02:54:10] <Bytram> =)
[02:54:14] <Runaway1956> LOL
[02:54:34] <Runaway1956> Those loose leafs went out the window, thrown into the wind like confetti
[02:54:43] <paulej72> Coal truck driving is very hard on a truck, and you don't put the miles on it like over the road driving
[02:55:01] <Bytram> that's a heavy load
[02:55:08] <Runaway1956> Yeah, coal trucks and mining trucks, and logging trucks all have pretty short lives

[02:56:40] <Runaway1956> Speaking of four wheeling - today's power dividers make all eight drive wheels drive when they are engaged. When I drove, the power divider only powered four wheels
[02:56:49] <Runaway1956> Kids have it so easy today . . .
[02:57:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Now that you mention it, Runaway1956, we do have a runaway truck ramp headed towards home base
[02:57:32] * Bytram remembers seeing some great super-truck videos on you tube
[02:58:05] <Runaway1956> Never used a runaway truck ramp - but it was a near thing one day on Fancy Gap, in Virginia . . .
[02:58:12] <paulej72> I was a diesel mechanic before I could legally drive.
[02:58:40] <Runaway1956> I've heard that from many mechanics, Paulej72
[02:58:47] <Bytram> those are the ones that go back up hill and are filled with pea-sized gravel?
[02:59:06] <paulej72> I would help my dad work on his truck. We did everything in house except block machining
[02:59:25] <Bytram> impressive
[02:59:27] <Ethanol-fueled> Bytram, The one I mentioned doesn't go back up hill. But it gots plenty of gravel.

[03:01:39] <paulej72> We did engines at my grandfathers truck garage all the time. He owned a dozen coal trucks. The trannies lasted longer so we did not do them as often
[03:03:12] <Ethanol-fueled> Nice.
[03:03:17] * Ethanol-fueled is jealous
[03:03:23] * Runaway1956 tore up a tranny one night - ancient International Emeryville
[03:03:31] <paulej72> Breaks, tires, lubing, were common stuff. Rear end rebuilds were common
[03:03:53] <Runaway1956> power divider locked up, and royaly screwed up both axles and tranny
[03:03:57] <Bytram> Runaway1956: how did you do THAT?
[03:04:02] <Bytram> oh.
[03:04:13] <Ethanol-fueled> Yup, a lot of my friends are in that scene. My ex's dat owned an empire of trucks.
[03:04:13] <Bytram> musta made quite a racket?
[03:05:00] <Runaway1956> Oh yes, sent shrapnel into the sleeper and the fuel tanks when the U-joint finally came apart too
[03:05:17] <cmn32480> bytram - I think he meant he tore up a tranny on night in the sleeper of his ancient International Emeryville while parked at a truck stop.
[03:05:37] <cmn32480> least... that's what I read
[03:05:42] * Runaway1956 notes that cmn32480 is evil
[03:05:58] <Bytram> what he do?
[03:05:58] <Ethanol-fueled> cmn, meth and an abundance of lot lizards will do that
[03:06:08] <paulej72> Remember the power dividers and how they whew studded with teeth that would slide in and out to move the power between the axels. The teeth would shear and cause the whole thing to fail
[03:06:11] * cmn32480 notes that Runaway1956 isn't nearly as smart as cmn32480 thought he was if it took this long to figure that out
[03:06:29] <Runaway1956> lol
[03:06:51] <Ethanol-fueled> Pauley, that's some rube goldberg shit
[03:07:07] * Bytram cringes ever time he hears someone miss a shift and grinds their gears... cannot even begin to imagine what it sounded like when that tranny went.
[03:07:25] <cmn32480> probably OOO OOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
[03:07:41] <paulej72> My one uncle did body work and paint jobs. We replaced the entire cab on some of the trucks leaving only the firewall and floor.
[03:07:47] <Runaway1956> Well, it only lasted for fifteen or twenty seconds - then the claws stopped raking through my soul
[03:08:35] <Bytram> Runaway1956: omg; I laughed and cringed at the same time. perfect description!
[03:10:22] <Runaway1956> I just KNEW that I was going to get fired for that, but the boss just laughed. He said those Emeryvilles were known for failing power dividers. Mine was just a little more spectactular than most that fail at low speed.
[03:10:53] <paulej72> Fiberglass hoods were fun to repair. Took two halves of two different model year hoods to make a new one. Has to do some work on the one fender to get it to match the other one
[03:11:08] <Bytram> btw, before I lose this thought: we would do well to scour the stories here and on /. about /. getting sold to see if there are any good suggestions for improvements that we would make to SoylentNews.
[03:11:29] <Bytram> looks like TheMightyBuzzard's implementing UTF-8 was a BIG win in the comments on /.
[03:11:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Bytram - I didn;t read them all, but I read many. And they're itching for more liberty.
[03:12:30] <Ethanol-fueled> First and foremost, to allow more dissenting opinion and implement groupthink-proof measures.
[03:13:10] <Ethanol-fueled> nerds have held unpolular views since they were watching anime while jocks were getting all the girls.
[03:13:16] <Bytram> Ethanol-fueled: that is a difficult thing to write in Perl.
[03:13:53] <Bytram> I skimmed a good bunch of the +2 comments. Need to reread for content.
[03:14:09] <Ethanol-fueled> Bytram, there was one comment which suggested that the code be turn down and re-written from scratch. You guys satisfied a vast majority of their gripes without having to do that.
[03:14:21] <Ethanol-fueled> You refactored rather than rewrote.
[03:14:49] <Ethanol-fueled> The second front of the battle is on your rep. "MRAs, extremists" etc.
[03:14:53] * Runaway1956 hates when the natives are too happy
[03:14:55] <Bytram> well, I came in much later, but yes... the devs here did a GREAT job; Perl is hard to beat when it comes to text manipulation efficiency
[03:16:01] <Ethanol-fueled> To my last point I say, "wait until Trump becomes president. Then it's YOUR turn against the wall, because you didn't fight for free speech....only the speech YOU agreed with"
[03:16:32] <Ethanol-fueled> It'll be McCarthyism all over again, we'll curbstomp those whiny fucks.
[03:17:18] <Runaway1956> Where is there free speech, EF?

[04:25:31] <SirFinkus> we could fix a main break in 24 hours tops in most cases, and have people with clean drinking water within 96 hours of that (mostly waiting for tests from the DOH to get back)

[05:15:14] <SirFinkus> I think I'll let that water discussion shit a little before I comment on it

[05:20:47] <Gravis> SirFinkus: i'm just thinking... what if we combined and miniturized water reclamation, water filtration systems and rainwater harvesting into a single in-ground unit that could be installed by every home?
[05:21:04] <SirFinkus> depends on the region
[05:21:34] <SirFinkus> my gut says "no" in a lot of cases
[05:21:54] <Gravis> SirFinkus: "no" what?
[05:22:02] <Gravis> SirFinkus: not possible?
[05:22:18] <Gravis> SirFinkus: remember, money isn't a factor here.
[05:22:28] <SirFinkus> you'd need to supplement it with municipal water to be most efficient
[05:23:57] <SirFinkus> I think collection of non-potable water for flushing toilets and such would be a great idea
[05:24:34] <SirFinkus> the trouble is, most of the places that get lots of rain water don't really have problems with just drilling a well and getting abundant groundwater
[05:24:57] <Gravis> interesting
[05:25:33] <Gravis> SirFinkus: what about for areas that don't get lots of rainwater, massive underground tanks
[05:25:50] <Gravis> so when it does rain, you collect a HUGE amount
[05:26:50] <SirFinkus> we already kind of do that, and it isn't working very well
[05:27:11] <Gravis> aww... why not?
[05:27:30] <SirFinkus> https://en.wikipedia.org
[05:27:31] <shekel> ^ 03Wiki: Lake Mead ( https://en.wikipedia.org )
[05:27:57] <SirFinkus> rainfall and snowmelt isn't enough to keep it full
[05:28:47] <SirFinkus> you did specify underground, but I'm not sure if that would solve the problem
[05:29:04] <Gravis> ok... so what if we capture clouds and hold them hostage until they rain and give us water. :P
[05:29:28] <SirFinkus> I suspect that evaporation isn't a huge factor in what's causing lake mead to be drained
[05:29:32] <SirFinkus> might work
[05:29:36] * SirFinkus fires up HAARP
[05:29:40] <Gravis> lol
[05:32:11] <Gravis> ok... so let's say, we have a public source of seawater running underground. could tap into that and have filtration systems everywhere?
[05:32:43] <Gravis> it would be a MASSIVE pipe
[05:32:55] <SirFinkus> desalinization is pretty energy intensive
[05:33:13] <Gravis> true... but solar power is free
[05:33:22] <SirFinkus> yeah, was about to bring that up
[05:33:30] <SirFinkus> don't know if it would be fast enough though
[05:33:49] <Gravis> SirFinkus: you would have tanks, just like water heaters
[05:34:08] <SirFinkus> if we're talking using thermal power
[05:34:13] <SirFinkus> via distilation
[05:34:38] <SirFinkus> I mean, if you solve the "free energy" thing, shittons of things are possible
[05:34:54] <Gravis> SirFinkus: well... photonic bombardment is a huge amount of power
[05:35:37] <SirFinkus> if only would could tap into the power of ROCK
[05:35:46] <Gravis> LOL
[05:36:43] <Gravis> SirFinkus: i think this is what you mean: http://smg.photobucket.com
[05:37:03] <Gravis> err http://img.photobucket.com
[05:39:55] <SirFinkus> seems about right
[05:40:01] <SirFinkus> he does have a lot of water
[05:40:18] <SirFinkus> shit, he hit a stone with a stick and a spring appeared
[05:40:40] <SirFinkus> or was it milk?
[05:40:47] <SirFinkus> been a while since I read exodus
[05:45:31] <Gravis> SirFinkus: it was water from a broken stone and the fact that he hit it with the staff is why he didn't make it to the promised land. #neverforget
[05:45:44] <Gravis> #toomuchknowledge
[05:46:23] <SirFinkus> yeah, terry davis made a game in temple os about it
[05:47:14] <Gravis> poor bro doesn't even realize he's cracked
[05:48:04] <SirFinkus> he does, it just hasn't been/can't be treated
[05:48:48] <Gravis> he does when he's taking his meds
[05:49:30] <SirFinkus> you seem like the kind of guy who'd know these things, what do you think of templeos on a technical level?
[05:50:05] <Gravis> i haven't really looked at it much
[05:50:28] <Gravis> i've seen and overview and it seems like it's DOS
[05:50:38] <Gravis> well... DOS with graphics... so win 3.1
[05:50:40] <SirFinkus> some parts of it seem neat to me, and other parts (inline graphics) I look and say "huh?"
[05:51:55] <SirFinkus> I've watched a few of the videos of him running it, it seems closer to what unix aspires to than dos
[05:51:57] <Gravis> i think he limits the OS to 10K lines, so that is actually pretty cool for only 10K lines.
[05:52:29] <SirFinkus> blurring the line between using the command line and programming
[05:53:45] <Gravis> hmm... it does appear to have multitasking
[05:54:34] <SirFinkus> I haven't used MSDOS super extensively, but it seemed to be mostly a way to manage files and launch programs to manipulate the files
[05:55:56] <SirFinkus> apparently templeos is based on some kind of jit compiled c variant
[05:56:28] <Gravis> oh well. i'm more interested in things written for generic use with standards rather than anomolies like templeOS
[05:56:38] <SirFinkus> fair nuff
[05:57:03] -!- JamesNZ [JamesNZ!~JamesNZ@60.234.vml.gj] has joined #Soylent
[05:57:05] <SirFinkus> it's interesting to me simply because of the shear madness of the project itself, and the person who wrote it
[05:57:26] <Gravis> agreed... but it's also sad.
[05:57:50] <SirFinkus> not as sad as a lot of stories with mental illness
[05:58:03] <SirFinkus> it seems to be a relatively constructive outlet for him
[05:58:09] <Gravis> true
[05:59:00] <Gravis> but medication is enough to manage a many forms of mental illness.
[05:59:21] <Gravis> can't save 'em all but that's the price we pay for evolution.
[06:00:03] <SirFinkus> my personal philosophy is that mental illness and creativity come from the same place, it's just a matter of the degree of mental illness
[06:01:08] <Gravis> eh... that doesn't quite line up with science but the truth is they are linked.
[06:01:40] <SirFinkus> maybe mental illness is too broad of a term
[06:02:35] <SirFinkus> there's a sweet spot with obsession where an individual can become highly productive and innovative
[06:02:52] <Gravis> eventually, someone with mental illness will have offspring that has the creativity but also the capability to manage it effortlessly. it will be the predecessor of humanity.
[06:03:00] <SirFinkus> it requires a number of factors to line up, but when they do, it leads to greatness
[06:04:00] <Gravis> it will be homosuperior
[06:05:51] <Gravis> though it really depends on how they manage to remove homo sapiens
[06:07:18] <Gravis> i would think their breeding opportunities would go through the roof, especially if they leverage science to the benefit
[06:07:25] <SirFinkus> it seems unlikely that our descendants will diverge into more than one group, given the level of interbreeding we have now
[06:07:25] <Gravis> their*
[06:07:54] <SirFinkus> completely isolated communities are small, and increasingly rare
[06:07:59] <Gravis> SirFinkus: yeah, i'm just thinking how the /first/ one would become the only
[06:08:21] <SirFinkus> and we all fuck each other
[06:08:35] <SirFinkus> any change in that direction would be gradual
[06:08:46] <Gravis> so a convergence
[06:09:05] <SirFinkus> we wouldn't even notice it happening
[06:09:38] <SirFinkus> well, we might through data collection
[06:09:50] <Gravis> assuming we don't end our biological existence
[06:09:50] <SirFinkus> but we wouldn't *notice* it if you catch my meaning
[06:10:10] <SirFinkus> or nuke ourselves down to a 10k population
[06:10:10] <Gravis> i know what you mean
[06:10:29] <Gravis> it's hard to tell you are standing on a round planet if you are so small
[06:11:41] <SirFinkus> I'm not even sure if getting us down to 10k would lead to divergence of the species
[06:11:46] <Gravis> SirFinkus: nuke seems unlikely... killing most everything on planet would do it though
[06:12:19] <SirFinkus> we're constantly trying to determine why humans are so uniquely successful among all the animals
[06:12:30] <SirFinkus> intelligence, language, etc
[06:12:39] <SirFinkus> I think the urge to explore is a huge part of it
[06:12:50] <Gravis> we're also constantly trying to improve upon what is human. <_<;
[06:13:18] <Gravis> so if we manage that whole brain upload deally... who the fuck knows
[06:13:26] <SirFinkus> I mean, the idea of going to the moon, that didn't make a whole lot of sense logically
[06:13:37] <SirFinkus> we had justifications
[06:13:49] <SirFinkus> but I think the main reason we went there is because it was *there*
[06:13:49] <Gravis> yeah, we beat those commie bastards! :P
[06:14:13] <Gravis> SirFinkus: humans are explorers
[06:14:41] <Gravis> SirFinkus: i mean, we are decendents of the monkeys who said, "fuck it, i'm leaving the tree!"
[06:15:12] <SirFinkus> so if we got down to 10k survivors, we'd probably find eachother in a few thousand years and start fucking each other and become a big mess all over again before natural selection had a chance to have our species diverge
[06:16:30] <Gravis> SirFinkus: well, there is shit that kills us that is still thinning the herd even today.
[06:17:17] <Gravis> SirFinkus: though if we manage a colony on another planet, that might do it. :P
[06:17:28] <SirFinkus> yeah, it could
[06:17:34] <Gravis> a self-sustained one that is
[06:18:22] <Gravis> actually... just the gravitational difference alone would be enough for divergence.
[06:18:27] <SirFinkus> depends on the amount of time that passes between offworld colonies being viable, and travel between offworld colonies being viable
[06:18:58] <SirFinkus> if it's as easy to go to mars as it is to fly to europe from the US, no dice
[06:19:15] <Gravis> touche
[06:19:44] <Gravis> planets are slightly further away but i get your point. :P
[06:19:55] <SirFinkus> only slightly
[06:20:03] <Gravis> :>
[06:20:20] <SirFinkus> we got that pesky "speed of light" thing to work out too
[06:20:33] <SirFinkus> so afaik, might not even be possible
[06:20:48] <Gravis> it's not pesky at all. you just get close to C and it's all good.
[06:21:33] <SirFinkus> for all we know, we could eventually reach a peak for what our brains can handle and our senses can perceive and "finish" science
[06:21:37] <Gravis> you lose all contact with the world you knew but it's great for interstellar conlonization
[06:21:38] <SirFinkus> long way off, but it is possible
[06:22:14] <Gravis> SirFinkus: i don't buy that, i think we would go post-biological long before that
[06:22:40] <SirFinkus> I tend to agree, but I acknowledge the possibility
[06:22:43] <Gravis> SirFinkus: and when that happens, there aren't any real restrictions on the power of the mind
[06:22:57] <SirFinkus> assuming we'll figure it all out seems like magical thinking
[06:23:21] <Gravis> oh no... we'll go extinct long before that
[06:24:13] <SirFinkus> it's the same argument as that against investing in renewable energy, the "we've always figured it out in the past before it became a big problem" attitude
[06:24:22] <SirFinkus> well, yeah, if we hadn't, we wouldn't be here
[06:26:31] <Gravis> i wish they stopped using "renewable energy" and instead used "eletromagnetic energy"
[06:26:54] <Gravis> instead of "fossil fuels" they used "chemical energy"
[06:27:40] <Gravis> because that is the very real difference between the two: one is a chemical reaction and the other is electromagnetic capture
[06:28:10] <Gravis> eh... reaction works in place of capture too
[06:28:42] <Gravis> chemical energy sources are non-renewable
[06:29:09] <Gravis> electromagnetic energy sources are power by stars
[06:29:22] <SirFinkus> well, everything is technically non-renewable, it's simply a matter of how long before it becomes an issue
[06:29:58] <Gravis> agreed but we can get a new star when we really need it.
[06:30:22] <Gravis> humans will cease to exist by the time our star runs out
[06:30:23] <SirFinkus> even that, just postponing the inevitably
[06:30:30] <SirFinkus> probably
[06:30:49] <Gravis> SirFinkus: no, i mean, evolution stops for nobody.
[06:31:04] <Gravis> SirFinkus: in a mere million years, humans will be no more
[06:31:33] <SirFinkus> I'm more cynical, I think we'll kill ourselves off before then
[06:32:00] <Gravis> yeah, i'm a 24-bit optimist. :)
[06:32:22] <SirFinkus> we haven't faced a planet killing asteroid yet, once we survive that, we'll talk
[06:32:48] <Gravis> SirFinkus: we'll survive that... because we wont be on that planet. :P
[06:33:07] <chromas> Because we'll have killed ourselves off first
[06:33:08] <SirFinkus> there's that optimism again
[06:33:32] <Gravis> SirFinkus: hey, it'll only take out 99% of humans. we still got some on mars!
[06:34:04] <SirFinkus> but basically, as far as we can perceive, they're random events
[06:34:18] <SirFinkus> if we found a planet killer today, what could we possibly do?
[06:34:24] <Gravis> SirFinkus: less random and more probablistic
[06:34:40] <SirFinkus> I meant as far as our perception goes Gravis
[06:34:50] <Gravis> oic
[06:35:30] <Gravis> SirFinkus: it depends on how much time we have before it will hit us
[06:35:43] <Gravis> SirFinkus: if we have 75 years, we could do a shitload of things
[06:35:57] <SirFinkus> I guess I meant that we have no idea whether a planet killer is going to hit us tomorrow, and we've seen so little of the sky that we couldn't possibly begin to say that it won't happen
[06:36:43] <Gravis> SirFinkus: sure i can, it's what makes me a 24-bit optimist! :P
[06:37:09] <SirFinkus> the likely scenarios I've seen are that we'll have quite a long time to prepare (I think 75 years was in the ballpark) or we'd have no idea what hit us
[06:37:37] <SirFinkus> based on some astrophysicist I heard a while back, couldn't possibly remember the source
[06:38:00] <SirFinkus> probably phil plait or something
[06:38:11] <Gravis> SirFinkus: yeah, the 75 years deal was a dwarf star, right?
[06:38:32] <SirFinkus> maybe, it's been a while since I heard it
[06:38:59] <Gravis> it's fine... it doesn't matter until we can actually do something about it.
[06:39:10] <SirFinkus> I suppose the specific object probably doesn't matter that much, since it's all governed by the same laws
[06:40:01] <Gravis> SirFinkus: well... a choice between the two, i'll take an astroid strike over a black hole any day. :P

[07:04:07] -!- _NSAKEY [_NSAKEY!~nsakey@uwnwgtzobx.abigisp.com] has joined #Soylent
[07:04:12] <crutchy> does she have a decent butt or do you have to go looking with a magnifying glass?
[07:04:24] <SirFinkus> meh
[07:04:52] <Gravis> SirFinkus: but will she want you to touch them?
[07:05:08] <SirFinkus> pretty sure she will Gravis
[07:05:15] <SirFinkus> but we'll see
[07:05:58] <SirFinkus> she'll probably blow me in the car
[07:05:59] <Gravis> SirFinkus: foolproof plan: write "place boobie here" on the palms of your hands. :P
[07:06:05] <SirFinkus> I'm a 24bit optimist!
[07:06:11] <crutchy> lol
[07:06:28] <crutchy> how much extra do you have to pay for that?
[07:07:06] <SirFinkus> only the pleasure of my company crutchy
[07:07:14] <SirFinkus> I'm a charming motherfucker, in case you haven't noticed
[07:07:52] <crutchy> do you have a SJW mode? some chicks are all into that shit
[07:08:36] <SirFinkus> I could if I wanted to
[07:09:14] <SirFinkus> but I'm not that dishonest
[07:09:20] <crutchy> just tell her your cock is the fountain of youth :p
[07:09:38] <SirFinkus> only a little dishonest with my initial "I'll help you with guitar" bit
[07:09:45] <SirFinkus> but that's just ulterior motives
[07:10:02] <SirFinkus> and I suspect she took my invitation with full knowledge of those motives
[07:10:27] <SirFinkus> and it's irrelevant now since I've swapped it to a romantic context
[07:10:45] <crutchy> just be sure to look behind her, in case she's dragging a chain of baggage
[07:11:04] <SirFinkus> probably a great deal more, once I'm through with her
[07:11:28] <crutchy> hah. thats sounds like tmb
[07:11:54] <SirFinkus> I assure you I am not dating TheMightyBuzzard

[07:18:54] <SirFinkus> you never know
[07:19:09] <SirFinkus> it could even be crutchy
[07:19:41] <SirFinkus> and he knows that I'm only going on a date with her so I can try to touch her boobs
[07:19:52] <SirFinkus> my plot has been foiled
[07:39:46] <chromas> Ask her about her whiskers

[09:11:29] <Thouren> dyingtolive, you made my night
[09:11:32] <Thouren> Fucking helicopter
[09:12:26] <dyingtolive> the car with hay (or whatever that was) strapped to the top was really my favorite i think.
[09:13:04] <dyingtolive> though the guy with the gas pump line coming out of his car still deserves honorable mention
[09:13:08] <Thouren> Honestly I loved the first one, how the dubstep he was playing at the beat drop at the perfectly moment
[09:13:56] <dyingtolive> oh yeah. that was classic.
[09:14:11] <Thouren> I keep buying phone chargers and usb power banks to get my amazon orders over $35 to get free shipping, what is wrong with me
[09:14:56] <dyingtolive> the power banks make amazing batteries for arduino/pi projects. charging ciruit and overload protection (in theory) already built in.
[09:15:18] <Thouren> Yeah I always buy ones with the IC (Intelligent Circuit) labels on them
[09:15:43] <dyingtolive> i was working out the requirements for a man portable tesla coil (don't ask) that could be powered off of those a year or so ago.
[09:15:50] <Thouren> I haven't had any reason to buy a pi yet, have a home server so I just fire up a VM when I want to mess with something
[09:16:07] <Thouren> dyingtolive, I will ask, why make that? Sounds either really cool, really dangerous, or both
[09:17:17] <dyingtolive> really the biggest sell on the pi (over a 'regular' computer for me anyway) is the gpio pins. if you don't want to interface with meatspace, meh.
[09:17:18] <Thouren> dyingtolive, some cool ideas here if you're into bikes https://www.reddit.com
[09:17:18] <shekel> ^ 03Too Many Requests
[09:18:14] <dyingtolive> heh. the tesla coil idea stemmed from a wizard staff i wanted to make for gencon that arced lightning across it. i eventually gave up due to safety concerns (and they're stupid loud)
[09:18:23] <Thouren> Hey, still sounds cool
[09:18:57] <crutchy> any pilots here? check out this landing strip: https://youtu.be

[09:19:03] <crutchy> fucking insane
[09:19:35] <dyingtolive> i'm sure it would have been. just didn't feel comfortable with the idea of walking around areas so thick with people wearing flammable materials with lightning shooting out of a big piece of wood.
[09:19:37] <Thouren> I have serious respect for bush pilots, those guys are insane
[09:19:53] <Thouren> dyingtolive, sounds like a solid plan to me
[09:20:38] <dyingtolive> not to mention that my "ground plane" was going to be a piece of copper attached to the bottome of my shoe.
[09:20:58] <Thouren> Woah that pilot is nuts
[09:21:01] <Thouren> Mad respect

[09:27:18] <dyingtolive> P3D looks cool. those licensing costs though.
[09:27:55] <Thouren> Uh, check out the Academic edition
[09:28:15] <Thouren> There are a bunch of FSX addons that are compatible too
[09:28:39] <dyingtolive> i could shell out 60 for it, long as you don't have to "prove" you are a student. do you know how gimped it is compared to the other versions?
[09:28:44] <Thouren> FSX is a pain because even modern high end systems can't max it out with good fps, just because of the engine limitations
[09:29:03] <Thouren> dyingtolive, I don't think there's any gimping. I use academic and it's amazingly full featured
[09:29:33] <dyingtolive> fair enough. i'll have to put that on the "nice to have list" and see if i can find a decent usb joystick.
[09:29:57] <Thouren> http://www.amazon.com
[09:29:59] <shekel> ^ 03Amazon.com: Extreme 3D Pro Joystick for Windows: Artist Not Provided: Electronics
[09:30:04] <dyingtolive> still have my MS sidewinder, but if i'm going to have to buy a card with a joystick port, i might as well get a new stick altogether.
[09:30:07] <Thouren> Solid choice if you want a good quality basic stick
[09:30:34] <dyingtolive> i like logitech. i could go with that.
[09:30:47] <Thouren> If you want something fairly high end with tons of features, look for a used Saitek x52 on ebay, I snagged one for $90. For DCS you really need a full HOTAS
[09:30:48] <dyingtolive> not feeling like it's going to break in my hands in more important than features anyway
[09:31:07] <Thouren> I've used the extreme 3d pro, solid but basic stick
[09:31:39] <Thouren> Don't get me started on flight sims or motorcycles, I'll never shut up
[09:32:27] <Gravis> "<dyingtolive> still have my MS sidewinder..." <-- that makes two of us! :P
[09:32:35] <dyingtolive> heh. i was never a huge flightsim nerd, but every once in a while, there was just something awesome about setting up a flight from chicago to NY in FSX and just chilling for a few hours.
[09:32:49] * crutchy had one of those. not sure if i still got it though. probably not
[09:33:04] <dyingtolive> and then at the end right before i land? HAMMERHEAD IN A 747!
[09:33:05] <crutchy> fukkers dropped support after windows 98 :|
[09:33:10] <Thouren> dyingtolive, check out FSX: Steam Edition. Well worth buying when on sale simply for the steam multiplayer
[09:33:25] <Thouren> Ever want a copilot for a flight you give me a shout
[09:33:37] <dyingtolive> ooh.. yeah, i don't play with randos, but if it's on steam, i could probably get a couple people to join me. i'll keep that in mind. :)
[09:34:30] <Thouren> The steam multiplayer support just makes it really easy, previously used have to use a vpn or whatnot for multiplayer

[09:35:42] <dyingtolive> yeah, i remember that in the old days. friend of mine in high school and i figured out how to run one of them (pre FSX i think) over a direct dial connection. those were the days.
[09:36:44] <dyingtolive> i like the video on their store page with the dude in the coffee shop. okay, springing for this.
[09:36:59] <Thouren> Kids these days don't have any appreciation for how hard setting up games was back in the day
[09:37:04] <Thouren> and I'm only 22
[09:37:15] <Gravis> /facepalm
[09:37:28] <Thouren> haha
[09:37:37] <Thouren> I did use dialup my whole childhood :(
[09:37:39] * chromas sets Gravis' irq
[09:37:40] <crutchy> how hard?
[09:37:59] <Thouren> crutchy, much harder than minecraft
[09:38:01] <dyingtolive> we also had the 8 hour dial up marathon of starcraft starting at about midnight. man, my dad was pissed about that.
[09:38:06] <Thouren> Sometimes we even gave up and went to play outside
[09:38:13] <crutchy> all it took was LOAD "*",8,1
[09:38:15] <dyingtolive> perish the thought!
[09:38:21] <Gravis> chromas: sorry, masked.
[09:38:31] * crutchy had to look that up. all i could remember was the ,8,1 bit :p
[09:38:43] * chromas glues Gravis' jumpers onto the wrong pins
[09:38:59] <dyingtolive> okay, THAT'S not cool.
[09:39:12] * chromas toggles crutchy's dip switch
[09:39:23] <chromas> it's ,9,1 now! HAHAHAHA
[09:39:30] <crutchy> lol
[09:39:38] * crutchy grabs hold of chromas' joystick
[09:39:49] <dyingtolive> gluing someone's jumpers is almost as bad as sneaking into someone's house at stripping all their screws.
[09:39:59] <chromas> they went up to 11. that's how we know c64s were better than the others
[09:40:18] <crutchy> it was amiga after c64
[09:40:22] <crutchy> for me anyway
[09:40:44] <chromas> that sounds like something I'd do. Sneak in, carefully unscrew all the screws, strip the threads, then meticulously set them all back into place

[09:42:48] <Thouren> dyingtolive, don't buy FSX dlc off steam
[09:42:57] <chromas> Just think of all the jihads you could instigate with that though
[09:43:52] <dyingtolive> man, i don't need $20 dollar helicopters to fly 747s into buildings. my own ineptitude will cover that just fine.
[09:44:14] <chromas> is there a building-collapse-physics add-on?
[09:44:48] * chromas rates it 9/11, would buy again
[09:45:12] <dyingtolive> doubt it. i kind of remember that you had to "start over" if you crashed. that'd be neat though. maybe an addon that keeps track of how many people your goofy stunts have killed during a flight too.

[11:58:31] <nick> i'm guessing the coffee drinkers of the house wont appreciate it if i use the last of the milk in my porridge
[11:59:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> real coffee drinkers can limp by on black coffee long enough for someone who's awake to run to the store.
[11:59:49] <nick> yeah that's not going to happen here
[11:59:59] <nick> coffee in this house is half milk every time apparently
[12:00:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahhh
[12:00:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> in that case just throw extra butter in the porridge
[12:00:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> half a stick should do
[12:02:01] <nick> not so sure about that, i could probably get to the store and back in 5 minutes if it's not busy

[16:33:47] <Runaway1956> Oooooooh, I could write that up quite well, Bytram - it's a long story though.
[16:34:20] <Bytram> what is long, the story, or the telling of it? ;)
[16:34:25] * Runaway1956 clicks link
[16:34:32] <Runaway1956> Yeah, both
[16:35:34] * Bytram has followed his blog for years... I've found him to be a professor who takes his teaching very seriously and tries very hard to *educate* and to help his students learn
[16:35:44] <Runaway1956> Shortest summary possible, in boot camp, I was made the "education petty officer" - and pretty much remained the EPO throughout my Navy career.
[16:36:33] <Bytram> and, I take it that you had some, ummm, difficulties explaining things in a way that they could all understand and take to heart?
[16:36:50] <Bytram> there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to education
[16:37:13] <Runaway1956> Actually, yes, but that was short lived. I discovered that I had to study three times as hard, to be able to get the point across to each and every soul who was listening.
[16:37:24] <Bytram> nod nod
[16:37:37] <Runaway1956> Have to know the material far better than "good enough".
[16:37:57] <Bytram> I'm a visual guy. Give me a step-wise break down in text and pictures and I can vacuum information up like crazy; just be sure to give good coverage of the permutation space.
[16:38:26] <Bytram> otoh, if you 8talk* to me, it's gonna take me a hole lot longer as I have to parse the sound into text that I can then understand
[16:38:42] <chromas> "It seems fitting that Minsky left us the same week that Google published the paper Mastering the Game of Go with Deep Neural Networks and Tree Search,"
[16:38:46] <Runaway1956> NYECHT!! THERE WILL BE NO PERMUTATIONS PERMITTED! NYECHT NYECHT NYECHT!!
[16:38:50] <chromas> has anyone seen the movie Antitrust?
[16:38:51] <Bytram> to your point, in short, "If you really want to understand something, try explaining it to someone else."
[16:39:05] <Runaway1956> Yep, you got it.
[16:40:16] <Bytram> what seemed so clear in my mind, at first, oftentimes turns to an ethereal vapor in very short order, as I go about trying to explain it. It is only when I can easily and clearly explain something that I have some confidence that I *do* have an understanding of the material.
[16:40:36] <Bytram> IOW, you can't teach what you do not know.
[16:41:14] <Runaway1956> Precisely.
[16:41:59] <Bytram> well, that does overstate things a bit. It is indeed possible for me to follow a syllabus, and present information to a willing student in such a way that I do not personally understand it, but the student can still learn the material all the same.
[16:42:17] <Bytram> but, it takes a special kind of student, and syllabus / lecture notes, to be able to make that happen.
[16:43:06] <Runaway1956> LOL - finally scrolled down far enough to find the specific blog you were referring to.
[16:44:21] <Bytram> Runaway1956: why not take a stab at writing it up? Seriously. Could start off with a link to the above blog article, mention it resonated for you, and here is your submission based on personal experience. Then, maybe, pose a couple questions. Any fellow Soylentils run into similar challenges? How'd you ovvercome them? Or, reversing things, ever have an excellent / terrible instructor and what were the key differences?
[16:44:43] <Bytram> yeah, his links are, 'not the best'
[16:45:43] <Runaway1956> I might do that - I'm always wanting to write things up, but never seem to get around to it. Chances are, before I've skimmed all of this morning's news, I'll get sleepy, and go to bed . . . old, old story

[17:18:10] <Runaway1956> Isn't that something like TWO WHOLE DAYS?!?!!?!
[17:18:28] <Bytram> nah, more like 4 half-days. ;)
[17:18:37] * Bytram slinks away
[17:18:41] <cmn32480> yep
[17:18:45] <Runaway1956> Oh, well, that's slightly less impressive
[17:19:01] * cmn32480 tosses a grenade down bytram's rabbit hole
[17:19:14] <Bytram> I'm late! I'm late!
[17:19:21] <cmn32480> the story page in the admin console was almost full of new stories
[17:19:22] <Runaway1956> I could do better than a grenade
[17:19:30] <cmn32480> tis all I had handy
[17:19:50] * Runaway1956 tosses a tasmanian female sex scent down after Bytram
[17:20:00] <cmn32480> oh boy
[17:20:23] * Runaway1956 opens the gates at the tasmanian devil zoo enclosure
[17:20:41] * Bytram notes that it took him well over a year to be able to say that 'Tanzanite' came from 'Tanzania' instead of from 'Tasmania' =)
[17:21:14] <Bytram> "Why for you bury me in the cold cold ground?"
[17:21:22] <chromas> tanzanite--
[17:21:22] <Bender> karma - tanzanite: -1
[17:21:26] <Runaway1956> Yeah, but you can't teach tasmainian devils how to pronounce tanzania
[17:21:37] <Bytram> but, I bet YOU can!
[17:21:55] <Runaway1956> Nahhh, they all have cleft palates and hare lips
[17:22:21] <Runaway1956> and, no, I didn't mean hair lips or hairy lips
[17:23:02] <cmn32480> then they need a brazilian
[17:23:12] <Runaway1956> might work
[17:23:15] <Bytram> how many is a brazilian?
[17:23:20] <Bytram> nograb
[17:24:42] <Runaway1956> http://lmgtfy.com
[17:24:43] <shekel> ^ 03Let me google that for you
[17:26:15] <cmn32480> an oldie but goodie
[17:27:06] <Runaway1956> Either I never heard that one before, or I forgot it - How many millions in a Brazilian asks George Bush
[17:27:40] <cmn32480> I menat lmgtfy.com
[17:27:45] * Bytram was hoping you'd get the reference
[17:28:05] <cmn32480> it was a forgotten/never known for me too
[17:29:02] <chromas> Well sure; if he knew about Brazilians, he wouldn't be a Bush
[17:30:18] <cmn32480> googling brazilian on the images tab was probably a bad idea
[17:30:38] <Bytram> lemme guess, you got a brazilian hits on it?
[17:30:46] <cmn32480> I did... browser overload
[17:30:52] <cmn32480> and my kids are now in the room
[17:30:57] <cmn32480> including the one who can read
[17:31:02] <Bytram> oops.
[17:31:11] <cmn32480> doesn't know the meaningof the word
[17:31:37] <Runaway1956> ROFLMAO
[17:31:47] <cmn32480> he's 7
[17:31:51] <cmn32480> give him a break
[17:32:00] <cmn32480> runaway
[17:32:06] <Runaway1956> ??????
[17:32:08] <cmn32480> my kids are 7, 5 and 4
[17:32:27] <cmn32480> 1 of 3 can read at this point
[17:32:35] <Runaway1956> Those are good ages - they don't yet know everything, and they haven't yet realized that Daddy is an idiot
[17:32:42] <cmn32480> uh huh
[17:32:50] <cmn32480> to them I'm still almost God-like
[17:33:07] <Runaway1956> You've got about five more years . . . if you're lucky.
[17:33:21] <cmn32480> nope
[17:33:24] <cmn32480> not even
[17:33:34] <cmn32480> the 7 is already showing signs of independance
[17:33:45] <cmn32480> and worse questioning of us
[17:33:51] <Runaway1956> You should probably boil him for dinner, before it's to late.
[17:34:06] <cmn32480> he's really skinny... not much meat on the bones
[17:34:29] <Bytram> stone soup
[17:34:33] <Runaway1956> Well, keep him in a small pen, and feed him all the corn he'll eat. That's what we do.
[17:35:01] <Runaway1956> Of course, we don't usually let the piglets reach 7 years old.
[17:35:18] <Bytram> winnie the pooh knew piglet
[17:35:38] <Runaway1956> Yes - and did you ever notice how fat Winnie is?
[17:35:48] <Runaway1956> He apparently knew lots of piglets.
[17:36:13] <Runaway1956> Winnie IS an omnivore, after all.
[17:36:28] * chromas hides the hunny jar
[17:37:43] <Runaway1956> "The time has come," the Walrus said,
[17:37:43] <Runaway1956> "To talk of many things:
[17:41:59] <Bytram> I am the walrus
[17:42:07] <Bytram> ka cook a chew
[17:42:12] <Runaway1956> koo koo ka choo
[17:42:32] <Runaway1956> you beat me, lol
[17:42:51] <Bytram> with a wet noodle, FSM FTW
[17:42:59] <Bytram> ;)
[17:43:08] <Runaway1956> http://www.jabberwocky.com
[17:43:14] <Runaway1956> more like a steamed oyster
[17:43:35] <Bytram> coded in pe[a]rl?
[17:44:53] <cmn32480> back in a whjile
[17:45:00] <Runaway1956> Well, speaking of many things, I can hear my pillow calling me - I suppose I had better go abuse it.
[17:45:00] <cmn32480> gotta do some stuff w/ the kids
[17:45:02] <Bytram> likewise
[17:45:17] * Bytram needs a quick nap and shower before heading in to work today

[23:53:13] <Ethanol-fueled> noice
[23:53:22] <Ethanol-fueled> that's some hardcore gourmet shit right there.
[23:53:35] <SirFinkus> err
[23:53:39] <SirFinkus> "Macaroni and Beef Casserole"
[23:53:48] <SirFinkus> (it's hamburger mac and cheese)
[23:53:55] <SirFinkus> http://cooking.nytimes.com
[23:53:55] <shekel> ^✓ 03Macaroni and Beef Casserole Recipe - NYT Cooking
[23:53:59] <Ethanol-fueled> Have you ever got a handjob from Hamburger Helper?
[23:54:07] <SirFinkus> I can't wait to have this inside me
[23:54:14] <SirFinkus> nope
[23:54:25] <Ethanol-fueled> http://mealsandmovesblog.com
[23:54:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Ultimate creamy stroganoff
[23:54:36] <SirFinkus> ever get an handjob from a salvation army bell ringer?
[23:54:45] <SirFinkus> they're really good
[23:55:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Holy fuck that's some good mac and beef casserole
[23:55:07] <Ethanol-fueled> that is some gourmet shit
[23:55:16] * Ethanol-fueled would leave out the basil and oregano tho
[23:55:41] <SirFinkus> I'm going to try it with both, it's for the tomato shit
[23:56:40] <Ethanol-fueled> What's the most complicated thing you ever cooked?
[23:56:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Without help?
[23:57:04] <SirFinkus> hmm, nothing really impressive
[23:57:18] <SirFinkus> I've made sushi, which impresses people who don't know how fucking easy it is to make
[23:57:32] <Ethanol-fueled> can you do rolls?
[23:57:38] <SirFinkus> easy as fuck
[23:58:10] <SirFinkus> if you know how to chop shit up, you can do rolls
[23:58:19] <SirFinkus> the only part where you can really go wrong is the rice
[23:59:04] <SirFinkus> retards try it with enriched long grain rice, or even worse, sticky rice
[23:59:48] <SirFinkus> sometimes the use the correct type of rice, but don't rinse it first
