[00:00:53] <FatPhil> Single best live music performance I've seen in my whole life ^^^
[00:04:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> mine was cracker, the screaming trees, matthew sweet, and the eddie bush group. but mostly because the drummer for the eddy bush group was my guitar teacher and got me backstage at 16 with all the bands and bottles
[00:04:31] <FatPhil> OK I'm prog deep down, but I do love metal for the brainstem elements. However, the worst gig I ever went to was Zack Wilde / BLS. He was just dicking around
[00:05:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> worst show i ever saw, yes, even including house bands, was bob dylan
[00:05:46] <FatPhil> I've chugged jagermeister backstage with some of the best bands in Finland.
[00:06:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> i swear, i know every dylan song ever recorded and i didn't recognize anything until three bars or so like halfway through the sixth song.
[00:07:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> you could have replaced him with a wino off the street and told him under no circumstances sing anything bob dylan has ever sung and i couldn't have told the difference

[00:08:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> it was probably aristarchus in a clwon wig dyed brown trying to preemptively torment me
[00:09:03] <aristarchus> Like Harry, I don't torment Buzzards, I just tell the truth and they think it is torment.
[00:09:25] <FatPhil> maybe it's your breath?
[00:09:28] <RandomFactor> heh, either they just segued into deep purple or deep purple stole it from them
[00:10:26] <FatPhil> RandomFactor: ooh, what's the DP ref?
[00:10:33] <RandomFactor> Wishbone ash
[00:10:46] <RandomFactor> still playing had to pause it to take out the dog for a couple
[00:10:51] <FatPhil> but where? I'm *VERY* familiar with both bands
[00:11:02] <RandomFactor> lemme back it up, sec
[00:11:41] <RandomFactor> about 6:30
[00:12:24] <FatPhil> didledy-didledy-didledy dum

[00:13:20] <RandomFactor> the guitar riff over about 10 or 15 sec later goes with it
[00:14:38] <FatPhil> it's just the 3 notes from a chord, nothing terribly creative

[00:36:48] <RandomFactor> That beer wall.... Not bigger than the one we built, but a lot more consistent.
[00:37:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, nite
[00:37:13] <FatPhil> you don't need me any more
[00:37:16] <RandomFactor> ok, maybe bigger

[00:46:33] <AzumaHazuki> oh, lovely, another cold. right before orientation monday for the new job too
[00:46:40] <AzumaHazuki> goddammit. this better be just a cold.
[00:46:55] <RandomFactor> better'n the covids
[00:47:20] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, the symtomology isn't consistent with corona, but there's always that fear, you know?
[00:47:43] <AzumaHazuki> some jackoff at a pharmacy i floated to had a head cold and wasn't masking properly...aaaand i had to use her workstation after
[00:48:02] <RandomFactor> joy and happiness
[00:48:23] <AzumaHazuki> yup. well...did the epsom bath, took my vitamins, am sipping all kinds of ridiculously heavy spiced tea...
[00:48:39] <AzumaHazuki> i got over the last one in 2 days so here's hoping
[00:49:18] <RandomFactor> When they sent us home I didn't fully understand the duration. haven't seen my desk since this started. ON the bright side i have a better chair then the crap at work.
[00:50:20] <requerdanos> Sorry about your cold.
[00:50:27] <AzumaHazuki> wish i could work from home LOL
[00:50:46] <AzumaHazuki> oh well, you works in healthcare, you takes your chances
[00:51:21] * RandomFactor Notes that Azuma started talking when TMB stopped and thinks back to Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent
[00:52:05] <AzumaHazuki> i zonked for a few hours...was laying there in the bed with laptop next to me. opened my eyes and went "why is it dark?"
[00:53:03] <requerdanos> My first thought this morning seems to have been the opposite, why is it light? I thought I was waking up to the sound of my fiancee returning from work, usually a midnight thing, but it was really just waking from an odd dream
[00:53:45] <requerdanos> I even went to check to see who was at the door, if not her coming in. (answer: no one, wrong reality)
[00:54:44] <AzumaHazuki> does feeling ill make your heart pound a bit?
[00:55:05] <RandomFactor> I think at a certain point your heart pounding a bit makes you feel ill.
[00:55:43] <AzumaHazuki> i'm also putting some incredibly hot cayenne tea down myself so that might be part of it. this should speed circulation, and the next cup will be ginger, turmeric, and black petter with a few star anise

[13:17:55] <systemd> ^ 0360 Employees Leave Coinbase Over CEO’s Pledge To Be Apolitical ( https://www.forbes.com )
[13:18:10] <driveby> Allowing the inmates to run the asylum, as Google and the NBA do, is a certain path to corporate extinction. Don't be surprised to see other companies not only following Coinbase's example, but getting considerably more proactive about not permitting them to infest the organization in the first place.
[13:18:23] <driveby> It's not going to take long before there is a copious amount of conclusive evidence incontrovertibly proving that
[13:18:23] <driveby> diversity, equality, and inclusion are objectively bad for business.

[13:29:46] * RandomFactor waves at driveby
[13:32:26] <RandomFactor> Activism 24x7x365 irritates a lot of people off into -actively- avoiding businesses at this point. I've certainly avoided purchases from companies whose activism impinges upon my consciousness.
[13:35:18] <lld> >60 Employees Leave Coinbase
[13:35:25] <lld> oh no there are 60 more job openings
[13:35:32] <RandomFactor> Doesn't matter which side, it cuts out part of your customer base. As Michael Jordan once said "Republicans buy sneakers too"
[13:35:55] <RandomFactor> yep
[13:36:38] <lld> you can see where the employee's priority lies
[13:36:53] <lld> it seems activism is more important than a stable income
[13:37:03] <RandomFactor> I would prefer my employees be excited about making the business successful.
[13:37:13] <lld> lots of people are excited about stable incomes
[13:38:05] <RandomFactor> So paying some severance to get employees that more closely align with the goals of the company can be a good move.
[13:38:44] <RandomFactor> They should save their political blather for SN :-)
[13:40:03] <RandomFactor> It's wierd, my generation certainly. But I don't know if it is as pervasive now. The mindset that you'll be taken care of by pater patriae has certainly grown.
[13:41:48] <lld> all this talk about revolution, I don't understand how these people can even survive outside of society to start one
[13:42:16] <lld> they're so dependent on the system that they want to bring down
[13:42:31] <RandomFactor> yeah, idiots that think an umbrella wall is a military tactic
[13:43:04] <RandomFactor> Our history teachers have failed generations.

[19:45:25] <AzumaHazuki> the cost is good too, $3 a pound. that's cheap for the nutritional value represented here
[19:47:51] <Bytram> that IS good
