00:02 <RazorSharpFang> I hate people who tailgate, but I hate peope who flip-off others in traffic slightly more.

00:02 <RazorSharpFang> I kinda wonder what sort of circumstances the other person would have to be going through in order to behave like that.

00:20 <Snapai> What if part of car regulations required a two-way always-on radio, that diminished in volume based on distance.

00:21 <Snapai> So basically, everyone in the cars around you could hear what you were saying.

00:21 <Snapai> And vice versa

00:21 <Kalastrear> hi Snapai

00:21 <Kalastrear> hi RazorSharpFang

00:22 <DerpingAimlessly> Snapai everyone would be super passive-aggressive  to each other

00:23 <DerpingAimlessly> IMO

00:23 <Snapai> I dunno. I think a lot of road rage comes from complaining at the cars around you and it not having any effect.

00:23 <Snapai> Having to actually interact with the other human beings around you might have a humanizing effect.

00:24 <DerpingAimlessly> It would make some bits e.g merging, a lot simpler and safe

00:25 <RazorSharpFang> Snapai, Okay, but it would be like voice-chat on overwatch or dota. Lots of cursing.

00:25 <RazorSharpFang> And if your voice is female? Oh boy, it's happening.

00:25 <DerpingAimlessly> Some people would sh*tpost (don't wanna upset the mods)

00:26 <RazorSharpFang> Snapai, people are perfectly capable of being complete jerks face-to-face, voice is no limit to them.

00:27 <DerpingAimlessly> Could be helpful to emergency services

00:27 <Snapai> Just like people do in the checkout at walmart

00:27 <Snapai> wait

00:29 <DerpingAimlessly> People can't have nice things...

00:29 <RazorSharpFang> How long are we waiting for?

03:38 <Cepheid> I'm only up because I needed to eat.

03:49 <Cepheid> It's nice that I found a treatment that works wonders for my sinuses and allergies, but now I just wish that the bags under my eyes weren't red/black/purple all the time.

03:57 * Ali flops on Cepheid as she had to get struck by lightning to unlock a shrine

03:57 <Cepheid> Is this the one near Floria Lake?

03:58 <Cepheid> Where a rock is covering a shrine, and it needs to be struck by lightning to bust it open?

03:58 <Ali> Calora Lake

03:59 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah, that's the one I was thinking of.  I was just more familiar with Floria Lake and the falls nearby.

03:59 <Cepheid> You could have just left a metal weapon on top of the rock and ran away.

03:59 * Ali cri

04:00 <Cepheid> You understood the riddle, regardless.

04:01 <Saerydoth> hm...Lake Floria was a place in Skyward Sword, must be another reference

04:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast: Bonus Music #109 [ http://tinyurl.com/yb9obndc ]

04:01 <Cepheid> Given that Skyward Sword is supposed to be the very beginning of the Legend of Zelda timeline, and it came before BotW, it's not surprising.

05:41 <Cepheid> Anything above 80% is considered "good" for me.

05:42 <Finwe> Is 50% pass?

05:43 <Cepheid> If you look at the marking setup, yeah, it is.  But the requirements for passing are a bit stricter than just "get 50%."

05:44 <Cepheid> You need to get 50% on each individual assignment, have no more than 3 missed tutorials/labs, get 50% on each individual midterm, and 50% on the final exam.  Plus whatever other requirements exist.

05:45 <Cepheid> For example, back in college, when I took Compilers, each assignment built on the previous assignment.  And it had to be 100% working and correct by the end of the semester, or you fail, regardless of the rest of the material.

05:45 <Finwe> We usually have midterm exams and final exam as mutually exclusive ways of completing a course.

05:46 <Cepheid> In our case, everything needs to have been "passed" at a 50% mark.

05:46 <Finwe> Sometimes there are only assignments, sometimes only exam.

06:24 <Finwe> Among the good European things must be counted the fact that our Internet prices aren't being kept criminally high by T&T, Comcast and Verizon.

06:25 <Cepheid> Don't forget Rogers, Telus and Bell in Canada.

06:25 <Cepheid> For reasonable services, it's criminally expensive.  And let's not talk about mobile data plans($400 for 80GB/mo)

06:27 <Finwe> Whoever can transfer over 80 gigabytes of data with mobile phone?

06:28 <Finwe> I have unlimited plan for €5/month.

06:28 <Cepheid> You'd be amazingly surprised.

06:28 <Cepheid> But yeah, our data plans are freakishly expensive, and no unlimited plans exist.

06:28 <Finwe> My data transfer has persistently been under 2 gigabytes per month.

06:28 <Cepheid> Strangely, pure data plans, no talk or text, cost far less.

06:29 <Cepheid> For mobile internet devices, the plans are flexible plans ranging from $10 for 100MB up to $85 for 10GB, and $5/GB after that.

06:30 <Thelema5> I haven't used my phone to talk to someone like... ever

21:40 * Schism starts wiggling the control stick back and forth.

21:41 <Cepheid> By the way, when you apply to jobs, are you handing resumes customized for the position in question, or using a generic variant?

21:41 <Schism> Generic variant with a specialized cover letter.

21:42 <Schism> I should specialize my resumes, too, but in this regard many of those places to which I've been applying are positions within staffing agencies.

21:42 <Cepheid> Ideally, both should be customized, and it's apparently still acceptable to visit potential employers to drop off a resume.  That said, other things that help are networking events, job fairs, etc.

21:43 * Schism nods. "Oh, yes, I do know that visiting potential employers is a good thing."

21:43 <Cepheid> Just making sure.

21:51 * Filly_Nightmares noms the food! She rolls around and vrooms happily!

21:53 <Ali> Great, the US is turning gaming into a disease

21:55 <Schism> People going out and willingly spending hours upon hours of their time on shared hallucinations?

21:55 <Schism> Ban the books!  *cough*

21:56 <DashedRainbows> I can imagine that being overused too

21:57 <Ali> �Gaming disorder� to be recognized as mental illness

21:57 <Schism> I... have a very difficult time believing that would find its way into the DSM.

21:58 <DashedRainbows> I always considered it more of a personality thing if anything

22:01 <Cepheid> Gaming as a whole, yeah, that's not gonna fly.

22:01 <Cepheid> I can see certain types of behaviour involving gaming as a disease, though.

22:01 <Schism> Evidently the type they intend to classify is a type of monomania involving video games.

22:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: GIANT Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #2485 [ http://tinyurl.com/y8z7w3v4 ]

22:01 <Cepheid> Essentially, an obsessive need to play video games.

22:02 <Cepheid> To the exclusion of doing anything else, like working, taking care of one's self, etc.

22:02 * Schism nods. "Precisely."

22:02 <Cepheid> I'm probably close to that definition, as there are times when I'm gaming that I forget to do all sorts of stuff.

22:02 <Cepheid> But last I checked, I still eat, take showers, etc.

22:03 <Cepheid> That puts me above "typical con-goer."

22:03 <Schism> Oi now.  :P

22:04 * Schism has read an interesting fic which has a rather frightening idea. "In MLP, as some of you may now, ponies receive a certain mark upon their flank which describes their special talent. These kyuti marks, as they are called, provide them with some ability in a few fields."

22:05 <Schism> The horror comes when you wonder: what happens when a pony becomes monomaniacal, focusing on their special talent to the exclusion of all else?  And what if the pony has a mark she doesn't want...

22:05 <Cepheid> Heh.

22:06 <Cepheid> Oh.  Fun story.

22:06 <Cepheid> My dad went to Lowes to check out their vacuum cleaners.  He wanted to get a Dyson vacuum cleaner.  They were on for like, $500 or so.  So he goes home, checks online at Dyson's Canadian Website.  They're on sale for $150-$200 off.

22:06 <Cepheid> He prints up the info, brings it in.

22:07 <Cepheid> They check it.  Check the website.  Call the manager.

22:07 <Cepheid> He allows it, no problem.  But he lets my dad in on a little secret.

22:07 <Schism> That they do that on purpose?  <<

22:07 <Cepheid> They were told to sell the Dysons at that $500 price point by a Dyson sales representative.

22:07 <Schism> To be honest, that is not a surprise.

22:07 <Cepheid> And they bought them at a higher price point for sale, too.

22:07 <Cepheid> So they're losing money now.

22:08 <Cepheid> The manager was pissed off.

22:08 <Schism> That is... painful.  I bet he was bloody well pissed.

22:08 <Cepheid> Yeah, so he asked to keep the printout, and promptly called a Dyson sales representative in.  After that, no idea what happened.

22:09 <Cepheid> I imagine a lot of yelling and/or uncomfortable discourse.

22:09 <Schism> I mean, the store could keep selling them at the $500 price point and only bothering to lower the price for the customers who complain - but that would be fundamentally dishonest.

22:09 <Cepheid> It would be.

22:10 <PinkieShy> I'm officially on Ubuntu.

22:10 <Schism> Hopefully it'll go better than those failed Windows installs...?

22:10 <PinkieShy> Windows 10 broke so bad today i couldn't do anything on it.. Couldn't interact.

22:10 <PinkieShy> Schism everything is so fast.

22:10 <PinkieShy> Right now i could open firefox by a click and it opens instantly for me

22:10 <Schism> No doubt!

22:10 <Lumindia> So here's something I just discovered exists

22:10 <Lumindia> Spicy Skittles

22:11 <Schism> Lumindia: ... now I want some.

22:11 <Lumindia> like, I see a packet of skittles with flames on it, and I"m like 'what the heck?"

22:11 <Schism> And Starbursts of the same type, I see.

22:11 <PinkieShy> I like how everything i used on Windows is right in the package manager

22:11 <Lumindia> Sweet Heat: Fruity Flavors with a spicy kick

22:11 <Schism> PinkieShy: Hee.  Got that with Mint, too.

22:12 <Lumindia> It's quite mild compared to my usual spice taste

22:12 <Lumindia> but it would definitely catch someone off guard if they weren't prepared for it

22:12 <Schism> Mix 'em up, a la Bertie Botts' Every Flavour Beans.

22:12 <Lumindia> haha

22:13 <Lumindia> I have a few boxes of "Beanboozled" and a jar of spicy jalapeno jelly beans

22:13 <Lumindia> not only do you have to worry about picking one of the disgusting flavors, you have to worry about your mouth being set on fire! :D

22:13 <Schism> Apropos of nothing: Black liquorice jelly beans are the worst.

22:13 <Cepheid> I feel like having one of those ciders my sister got me.

22:13 <Cepheid> Anything black liqourice is terrible, Schism.

22:14 <Schism> Somersby, Strongbow or something else?

22:14 <Cepheid> Craft ciders.

22:14 <Cepheid> Let's see..

22:14 <Schism> Oh, nice.

22:15 <Night_Blitz> crafty

22:15 <Golden> Heading out for food.

22:18 <Cepheid> Brickworks cider.

22:19 <Cepheid> Given the packaging, a Toronto-local brand, I'm guessing.

22:20 <Schism> North York, yeah.  Neat.  I think I might have seen a few in the LCBOs down here, but infrequently.

22:20 * Filly_Nightmares is in New York City!

22:20 * Filly_Nightmares kneads Schism

22:20 <Schism> Wrong York!

22:20 <Schism> North York is a borough of Toronto.  o3o

22:21 <PinkieShy> Somebody mention my name.. I wanna see how hexchat will notify me when i am highlighted in IRC

22:21 * Schism boops the Filly_Nightmares and the PinkieShy with some coconut-and-date rice balls!

22:21 <PinkieShy> I like that.. :D

22:21 <Cepheid> PinkieShy.

22:21 <PinkieShy> Its like shaking on the launcher

22:22 <Cepheid> Heh.

22:22 <Cepheid> I see a flashing icon in the status bar, myself.

22:22 <Cepheid> And the line that mentions my name is highlighted in green.

22:23 <PinkieShy> O.o

22:23 <Schism> Filesend works fine, that's good to know.  o3o

22:23 <Filly_Nightmares> Yas

22:23 * Filly_Nightmares kneads PinkieShy

22:23 <Cepheid> PinkieShy:  I'm using a dark colour theme.

22:23 <Cepheid> Everything on my laptop is utterly dark.

22:24 <Schism> Hmmm, doesn't seem to work from your end, but then, Windows Firewall decided to be silly.

22:24 <Schism> PinkieShy: What think ye of my dark scheme?  o3o

22:24 <PinkieShy> I like it :P

22:25 <PinkieShy> https://i.imgur.com/dqoxu9o.png

22:25 <Schism> And of course, it's in monospace, as IRC is _meant_ to be.

22:25 *** Quits: CleverDerpy (CleverDerpy@Clever.Girl.Silly.Filly) (Connection closed)

22:26 <Schism> Light grey on black should be the default colour for all IRC clients, in any event.

22:27 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/uwdyH5j.png

22:28 <Schism> Or I suppose white on dark grey.

22:28 <Cepheid> Everything is roughly dark like that.

22:28 <Cepheid> Even my IDEs.

22:28 <Schism> It's a nice appearance, very neutral.

22:28 <Cepheid> I use it to keep the brightness down in my dark bedroom.

22:28 <Cepheid> Otherwise, it can interfere with gaming.

22:28 <Cepheid> Since I use this laptop for communication when gaming.

22:29 <Fn> I have an idea

22:30 <Fn> But I am not gud at programmen

22:30 <Fn> Basically QWOP but with vehicle

22:31 <Fn> A game where you control a 4-wheel leaning car and on top of that you drive or brake each wheel with a separate button

22:32 <Cepheid> Funny thing is, a car like that can actually exist, now.

22:32 <Cepheid> Pure electric cars.  Many of them have each wheel with a separate motor.

22:33 <Cepheid> So you could in theory hook each individual motor up to a separate button or control, to control which motors are getting power individually.

22:35 <Schism> Fn: Have you played I Am Bread?

22:37 <PinkieShy> Installing my AMD drivers..

22:37 <PinkieShy> Hopefully it don't mess anything up xD

22:38 <PinkieShy> I'm using open source drivers right now..

22:38 <PinkieShy> gallium i think its called xD

22:43 <Fn> Cepheid, there are in fact cars like that in a "hillclimb" category

22:43 * Cepheid installs his new 128GB SD card into his Switch. >.>

22:43 <Cepheid> Fn:  I am not surprised.

22:43 <Fn> Those cars that conquer insane inclines that is

22:44 <Fn> Each wheel has a motor and computer as well as driver select which wheels to spin when

22:44 <Schism> Fn: It's a game about moving a slice of bread around a room in order to make it into toast!  Each of four buttons causes a corner to 'grip', at which point the toast moves based on the control sticks.

22:44 <Fn> They also are all steered

22:44 <Fn> Rear just steers less

22:44 <Fn> Schism, I know what that gaem is

22:44 <Fn> I have seen youtuber rage-play it

22:44 <The_Nostalgia_Mare> Cepheid, lock and load? *noms*

22:46 <Cepheid> The_Nostalgia_Mare:  Hmm?

22:48 <Schism> What weirds me out is that there are 128GB MicroSD cards.  And they're, like, $55.

22:49 <Cepheid> Indeed.

22:49 <Schism> Just think of it this way.  That's 128 thousand books.

22:49 <Cepheid> I'm not that surprised.

22:50 <Schism> 256GB ones too, but those cost a ton.

22:50 <Cepheid> We've got laptop drives that hold up to 4TB now.

22:50 * Schism looks at an Amazon item that purports to be a $18 CAD 128-GB MicroSD card.

22:50 <Schism> an*

22:54 <Cepheid> MicroSD.

22:54 <Cepheid> It's all the Switch supports.

22:55 <Schism> ... Huh.

22:55 <Schism> Well then.  o.o

23:06 <Cepheid> -22C.

23:20 <Schism> Not a cherry fan, I take it.

23:20 <Schism> Too tart for ya?

23:20 <Cepheid> Too sweet.

23:21 <Schism> Huh.  That's different.  Usually cherry or cranberry make things too tart.

23:22 * Cepheid sighs.

23:22 <Cepheid> I did an update to my system, and now Eclipse is complaining that the various include files don't exist.

23:23 * Schism offers Cepheid some rigatoni with leftover pot roast. Then blinks. "Ouch."

23:26 <Cepheid> The project file was simple though, so I just recreated it.
