[08:26:40] <Mos_Heisenberg> chromas, we all know, has that fungus that makes ant climb up the Republican ladder, until they are eaten by Devin Nunes Cows.

[09:58:47] <FatPhil> it does make sense - they do amazing beef *jerky*, we always by several portions to take away, and have run out.
[09:59:08] <FatPhil> And they did a special beer for bitches day (g/f called it that, don't blame me

[13:48:06] <Runaway1956> It's quiet because of the snow
[13:48:28] * Runaway1956 doesn't even want to go outside
[13:48:44] <janrinok> it's quiet here - but there is no snow. It is 12 deg C and sunshine.
[13:49:19] <Runaway1956> I put the dog outside, he didn't go far, came back in whining because his pee-pee was cold
[13:49:43] <janrinok> Life's a bitch - or in this case a dog.
[13:50:36] <Runaway1956> I don't mean to imply that the snow is deep - the dog has short legs, lol
[14:19:34] <Runaway1956> I want that shredder / chopper / grinder!

[14:20:07] <Runaway1956> I've worked on a LOT of grinders, but nothing that would eat a rifle like that!
[14:21:41] <Runaway1956> I've worked on a couple of grinders that someone dropped a bolt into, the blades shatter like glass when they hit
[14:25:48] <Runaway1956> I wish that lady didn't stick her hand down the chute - stuff flies up into and even out of the chute sometimes!

[15:30:51] <FatPhil> what's the point of destroying the rifle? seems like a bizarre religious ritual, as if there's some evil in it that needs to be destroyed.
[15:32:12] <janrinok> what else would you do with it? The police in the UK do the same with knives that they take off the street. They all get melted down and recycled.

[18:08:38] <FatPhil> Now I'm conflicted. A new pub, with an enormous range of self-imported new beers, only ever has russian-speakers in it, so me and my beerbuds don't particularly like being there. However, last week, they raised 1000e for the refugees that have now started to arrive.

[19:11:32] <chromas> FatPhil: go support your 'local' supporters
[19:16:52] <FatPhil> I'm genuinely thinking of buying a couple of crates of beer from the brewpub and taking them to the refugee processing centre. toothbrush, noodles, and lager, that's all anybody needs.
[19:17:06] <FatPhil> 10000 cans of lager might get a bit expensive though.

[20:06:40] <Runaway1956> agree with FatPhil - melting inanimate items down to atone for some sin is a bizarre religious ritual
[20:08:07] <chromas> Sounds a little antisemitic

[22:11:35] <FatPhil> holy jesus, windows is horrible.
[22:13:05] <FatPhil> helping our cranky neighbour pay some bills, download some docs, and stuff before she flies back to the US. stuff that would take a millionth of a second in linux took about half an hour of head-scratching and then 10 minutes of idiotic round-the-houses clicking and swiping.
[22:15:52] <FatPhil> she's well into her 70s, and it's even more confusing to her.
[22:16:14] <tedious> boru: Did you ever find a way to get all those pdf's?
[22:16:15] <FatPhil> it's not so much doing what you need, it's more tricking the computer into letting you do what you need.
[22:24:01] <chromas> If you used windows a lot more, you could probably get that down to 20 minutes
[22:30:04] <halibut> I think this is what was being quoted: https://www.youtube.com
[22:30:05] <systemd> ^ 03Mac Switch Parody by Hunter Cressall
[22:30:39] <halibut> I do not care for the usage of ``PC'' to mean ``running a MS OS'', but I realize that is common usage.
[22:46:19] <FatPhil> It's IBM's trademark, blame them.
[23:28:05] <sqrlgrrl> here in the united states we used the term 'personal computer' before the ibm pc came out, ymmv in different countries.
[23:29:04] <sqrlgrrl> you can dig up pre-ibm pc advertisements online that refer to those early 8 bit computers as 'personal computers'.
[23:35:12] <Bytram> first computer I bough was an 8-bit w/ 2 (4?) k of memory.
[23:36:20] <Bytram> Windows was years later
[23:38:15] <Bytram> anybody remember CPM ?

[23:40:21] <Bytram> and, still earlier: TSS/8
[23:40:42] <Bytram> =w TSS/8
[23:40:44] <systemd> TSS/8 is a discontinued time-sharing operating system co-written by Don Witcraft and John Everett at Digital Equipment Corporation in 1967. DEC also referred - https://en.wikipedia.org
[23:45:31] <FatPhil> Yeah, on its own, just "PC" probably isn't even trademarkable, but it is embedded in their other trademarks.
[23:45:50] <FatPhil> e.g. PCJr, or PC/AT
[23:46:02] <Bytram> =w BASIC-8
