[12:08:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> LOL
[12:09:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> It is my experience that at least 98% of humans, regardless of sex or sexual orientation, love boobs.
[12:09:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> ...but I've found like three gay guys that don't.
[12:09:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's just a mental disorder
[12:10:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> being gay or not liking boobs?
[12:11:03] * AndyTheAbsurd assumes "not liking boobs"

[12:14:02] <Bytram> have a great day everyone!
[12:14:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, both really. one from an evolutionary perspective and one from an OMGWTFBBQ perspective.
[12:15:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> neither is in need of treatment or curing though cause both mean more boobies for me.
[12:49:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... need to handle rollover of milliseconds since boot in an unsigned 32bit int.
[12:50:02] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his chin and ponders using the RTC instead
[12:55:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah. looks like the library for it only handles down to the second and i need at least milliseconds.

[13:18:22] <pinchy> you still working on that project? whats taking so long?
[13:19:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> hardware's finicky. took them a week to get back to me to tell me to hit the reset button twice in quick succession in case of a bad program flash.
[13:22:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> and the first bad program flash happened roughly two hours after i started programming for the thing
[13:27:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> just got the answer back yesterday, so i've had roughly ten hours of coding time intermixed with morning news checking time.

[13:47:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> Nah, pedestrians in NYC just yell "C'mon! I'm walking here!"
[14:04:03] <pinchy> the good ol "hit reset twice real fast"
[14:08:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm glad they thought to build that into their bootloader at least. it'd be a pain in the ass having to RMA it every twentieth or so time you try to flash a program.
[14:23:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg, getting a headache. time to switch to something that don't require thought.

[19:59:45] <takyon> good choice, I linked you an age restricted one
[20:01:46] <Sulla> Dem feels when you run a query without setting system restrictions and forget to add criteria
[20:02:03] <Sulla> Cant kill process either
[20:02:12] <Sulla> ITs gonna be happy about this
[20:02:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'why i run them from a mysql prompt. ^C kills an overly long query same as it kills a process.
[20:02:54] <takyon> if the amazon HQ2 sub runs, i'm definitely going to make a comment about roko's basilisk. like if you don't shake your ass to become the next HQ2 site, Amazon will punish your city in the future somehow
[20:04:06] <Sulla> Will be nice for the city that gets it
[20:04:55] <Sulla> Google wanted to open a shop in Eugene but the mayor said no because big business is evil. Then they bitch that companies arent hiring

[21:10:35] <Sulla> I think I missed a memo, why are we in africa? Are we there just to kill muslims or are we trying some fool attempt at blocking chinese hegemony?
[21:11:08] <boru> Oil.
[21:15:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'why we went to the moon and antarctica too
[21:16:15] <boru> Indeed. Moon oil has turned out to be quiet lucrative.
[21:16:29] <boru> Quite, even.
[21:16:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. they just keep quiet about it because of muh russians.
[21:17:26] <boru> Indeed. Russia has always been at odds with reptilian interests.
[21:20:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> which is odd cause the lizard men are just a front for the nabisco/comcast/google syndicate
[21:21:07] <boru> That's what the Illuminati want you to think.
[21:21:26] <mechanicjay> mmm nabisco
[21:21:49] <boru> Chemtrails claim another victim.
[21:21:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> the illuminati are just jv masons
[21:22:21] <mechanicjay> True Story: My dad used to live by the big Nabisco bakery (Factory?) in Hawthorn, NJ. Some days the entire area would smell like baking cookies...my god...it was wonderful.
[21:22:29] <boru> Who, in turn, are Zeta Recticulans.
[21:23:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, ya, i've lived by bakeries before too. it's chemical warfare.
[21:23:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, from the mirror universe no less.
[21:24:55] <mechanicjay> Fucking food warfare. "I have a strong desire to consume massive amount of Nilla Wafers every day!"
[21:25:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> who doesn't though?
[21:25:34] <boru> Mirror universes. Feh. You've been drinking too much tap water. The fluoride has made your mind malleable to Recticulan will.
