00:40 <Finwe> iandalton: Congratulations!

00:40 * Cepheid smashes his head into the desk.

00:40 <Cepheid> I just blew away my Windows 7 install by accident.

00:40 <Finwe> Would you be teaching in English or in Chinese?

00:42 <Finwe> Good night, everypony.

00:42 * Cepheid sighs.

00:42 <Cepheid> This week of suffering, will it EVER BLOODY END!?

00:43 * Finwe retreats to his boudoir.

00:43 <Finwe> Cepheid: On Sunday around midnight.

00:43 <Cepheid> WHat bloody gods did I piss off to get this

00:45 <Finwe> The Great Old Ones?

00:45 <iandalton> Finwe English

00:45 <Cepheid> I am just not having any luck.

00:45 <Cepheid> Whatever.  I'll go install Windows 10, so I can get access to DX12 for toying around or something.

00:46 <Cepheid> That and UI scaling, as Window 7's implementation isn't the greatest.

00:46 <Finwe> I actually think that Windows 10 is almost alright.

00:47 <Cepheid> The issue isn't that it's not alright.

00:47 <Cepheid> It's that my PC usually has some inexplicable problem.

00:52 * Finwe noms on Cepheid's BIOS.

00:52 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm debating installing it in UEFI mode.

00:52 <Cepheid> Oddly enough, even *THAT* might not work.  Linux reports a lot of problems with the UEFI.

00:53 <Finwe> GPT partition table and all.

00:53 *** Ali|Nap is now known as Ali

00:53 <Finwe> Miss Ali.

00:53 * Finwe doffs his hat.

00:53 * ThatAnonPony boops Finwe.

00:53 * Finwe scrunches his muzzle at ThatAnonPony.

00:53 <Finwe> *scrunch*

00:54 <Cepheid> That said, despite the issues that Linux reports, my PC can still use UEFI installs.

00:55 <Cepheid> I'm not even sure it even implements the earliest "stable" version of UEFI.

00:55 <Finwe> Some manufacturers are notorious for providing buggy UEFI.

00:55 <Finwe> Lenovo being the foremost among them.

00:56 <Cepheid> This UEFI implementation was among one of the first ones out.

00:56 <Cepheid> It's that old.

00:57 <Cepheid> Whereas the UEFI on my laptop supports the native resolution of the display, my PC only supports up to 1024x768.  Attempting to set up the UEFI to use UEFI option roms on installed cards causes the system to hang on POST.

01:16 <Cepheid> I'd love a shot of vodka to go with this, but...

01:16 <Cepheid> I'm on the strongest possible dose of anti-depressant, now.

01:16 <Cepheid> Gods knows what I'd start seeing when I combine the two.

01:16 <iandalton> maybe don't find out

01:16 <Cepheid> That's the plan.

01:17 <Cepheid> It's just this week man.  This week is trying to drive me insane.

01:18 * Cepheid extracts the contents of a WIn10 install image to a USB key set up with an EFI partition.

01:21 <Cepheid> Apparently, the install does not like this.

01:22 <Cepheid> Guess I'll do this the annoying way.  Tomorrow.

02:10 <Schism> Ah, Steam is awesome there.

02:11 <Cepheid> GoG in this case.

02:15 <Cepheid> Ye know, there are a LOT of remixes of Lotus Land Story.

02:27 * Cepheid lays back and listens to music quietly. Wishes he had a better chair for this, as his current one hurts.

02:31 <Thelema5> I just bought a new chair last week, I recommend this one: https://www.staples.com/Staples-Sorina-Bonded-Leather-Chair/product_2719542

02:32 <Thelema5> I got mine on sale for $99

02:33 <Cepheid> Looks nice.

02:34 <Thelema5> It's super comfy and I love the flip up arms- makes it easier to manage my cubital tunnel syndrome throughout the workday

02:36 <DashedRainbows> (me licks Thelema5

02:36 <DashedRainbows> Meh

02:37 <Thelema5> :p

02:37 * Thelema5 tastes like cotton candy

02:37 <DashedRainbows> That's good

02:38 * Cepheid still doesn't understand carpal tunnel or how people even manage to get it.

02:38 <Cepheid> I've been typing daily for nigh-on 22 years now.

02:39 <Cepheid> I don't have any of the symptoms of carpal tunnel.  I type 88 words-per-minute using a self-developed technique that's comfortable, but, according to specialists, should be ruining my wrists and hands.

02:40 <Thelema5> Cubital tunnel is similar, it just affects the ulnar nerve instead... comes from hardened tissue surrounding the nerve and compressing it.  It's worst for me when I have my elbows bent for a while (like playing guitar) or leaning on them (like armrests on a chair) for a long time

02:40 *** Quits: Chaosweaver (Chaos@Evil.Lives.Here) (Quit: Leaving)

02:41 <Thelema5> I've been typing day in and out professionally for some 35 years, I guess it just happens

02:42 <Thelema5> Maybe you should offer workshops on alternate typing methods for those affected XD

02:42 <Thelema5> Make $$$

02:42 <Cepheid> Hum.

02:42 <Cepheid> It's hard for me to do that, to be honest.

02:42 <Thelema5> Yeah, I know

02:42 <Cepheid> Because I can't even begin to describe my method.  At this point, it's all muscle memory.  I am not even consciously aware of it.

02:43 <Cepheid> I am capable of typing coherently even with my eyes closed.

02:44 <DashedRainbows> How is Thelema5?

02:45 <Thelema5> Okay

02:45 <Thelema5> You?

02:45 <Cepheid> All I need is to know where the F and J keys are on my keyboard.  After that, I can figure out the location of any key on the keyboard.  Ironically I cannot even name the key I have my fingers on, so I somehow know it is the right key, even when I can't see it.

02:46 * Thelema5 tries doing that, with what I assume is liinited suxxess

02:46 <Thelema5> Uh, not tooooo bad

02:47 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 you probably know.. If i were to cut my hair and were to want it very short.. Would a beard trimmer be unwise option to use

02:47 <Schism> This, of course, is why most keyboards have the F and J buttons indented.

02:47 <Schism> Cepheid: asdf asdf asdf adsf asdf jkl; jkl; jkl; jkl; jkl; and so on, and so forth.

02:48 *** Joins: Chaosweaver (Chaos@Evil.Lives.Here)

02:49 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, I'm not sure what you mean by a beard trimmer.  Hair clippers are pretty standard, they look like this: https://www.amazon.com/Wahl-Grooming-boyfriends-Professionals-79524-2501/dp/B0026IBSVE/ref=br_lf_m_cfcv49fngxcg9a8_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&s=beauty

02:49 <Cepheid> PinkieShy, as someone who shaves his head..

02:49 <Cepheid> I would advise against a beard trimmer.

02:49 <Thelema5> They come with guards which allow you to set the length they trim to

02:49 <Cepheid> They're called beard trimmers for a reason.  With the hair on one's head, they tend to get stuck and/or tug at hair.

02:50 <Thelema5> ...ouch

02:50 <Cepheid> You want what Thelema5 linked.  Hair clippers.

02:50 <PinkieShy> Cepheid does not having hair help with the hot weather?

02:50 * DashedRainbows is ok, but a bit sad

02:50 <Cepheid> It does, a bit.  But it brings it's own problems.

02:50 <Schism> Not having excessive hair certainly helps...

02:50 <PinkieShy> My hair is like 15 inches long lol

02:50 <Cepheid> Namely, going out in sunny, summer weather without a hat is a bad idea.

02:51 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, I went from very long hair all my life to super short clipped hair overnight, buzzed it all with a clipper I bought for $30 and a #3 guard

02:51 <Cepheid> You think you know sunburned heads.  You don't know *ANYTHING*.

02:51 <PinkieShy> i don't go outside much :P

02:51 <Cepheid> I just use a pair of clippers with no guard.  Cut as short as possible, then shave with disposable razors.

02:51 <PinkieShy> plus if i had no hair sunblock i would use.

02:51 <Thelema5> That's hardcore Cepheid

02:52 <Thelema5> XD

02:52 <Cepheid> Amazingly, the scalp is very hard to cut.

02:52 <Cepheid> I cut myself shaving my beard almost 100 times more than I do my head when I shave it.

02:52 <Schism> It's true, one's scalp is extremely thick.  This is why head wounds bleed so much.

02:52 * Thelema5 hasn't shaved his beard in... decades?

02:52 <PinkieShy> Is getting it shaved a good experience or bad idea?

02:52 <Cepheid> The first two times I did it, I did happen to scalp myself a bit, but that's because I applied too much pressure.

02:52 <Cepheid> Like, way too much.

02:53 <Cepheid> Honestly, I can't decide.

02:53 <Cepheid> In the US, I'm not sure I'd want to shave my head bald.

02:53 <Cepheid> A bald head used to have a negative connotation associated with it.  Particularly, nazi support and racism.

02:53 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, I really like having short hair now... it's so much easier to manage.  Aside from trimming every 3 weeks there's literally no maintenance

02:54 <Schism> o/` I can't decide, if my hair should live or die, I could probably grow to shoulders, or get neon purple dye...

02:54 <Cepheid> And with recent uh... uprisings of certain groups in the US, I wouldn't be comfortable having a bald head down there.

02:54 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 and Cepheid is it a bad idea tho..

02:54 <Cepheid> Officially?  No.

02:54 <Cepheid> Your family might object a bit.

02:54 <Thelema5> No, not at all if you're not super concerned about appearances

02:54 <Cepheid> But it's a common hairstyle, now.

02:55 <Cepheid> When I went to the networking event a few weeks back, there was an entire table just surrounded by guys that shaved their head.  We joked about it.

02:55 <PinkieShy> I was just thinking of shaving it all off to get rid of any damaged hairs.

02:55 <Cepheid> Just know it'll take some time to grow back.

02:56 <Schism> Humm.  The IoT certainly is a thing.  https://xkcd.com/1966/

02:56 <Cepheid> Schism:  That's why I hate the IoT.  That comic is distressingly 100% true.

02:56 <Cepheid> Though I'd adjust the scaling a bit.

02:56 <Cepheid> Basically, the probability of being a botnet should be around 90% within the first month.

02:57 <Cepheid> And after that, almost 100% by the end of the second month.

02:57 *** PinkieShy is now known as Pinkie93

02:57 <Schism> It certainly seems that way.

02:57 <Schism> I wonder how much money Nest throws at the problem.

02:58 <Cepheid> Too much.

02:58 * DashedRainbows licks Pinkie93

02:58 <Cepheid> I would say it doesn't take a software engineer to figure out that the IoT is a bad idea.  Except it apparently does.

02:58 <Cepheid> And they're promptly ignored.

02:59 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRsOBFhNjVM Schism.

02:59 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

02:59 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Steamed Hams Inc.

02:59 <Cepheid> Also, any Gorillaz and Simpsons fans.

03:03 <Thelema5> heh

03:04 <Cepheid> It's well done.

03:05 <Thelema5> By way of an odd coincidence I had a classic NY smoked ham and swiss on rye with mustard sandwich for dinner

03:05 <DashedRainbows> Yum

03:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast: Electronic Music: TCB - The Princess Of Friendship [Chillout] / Suskii - Top Bug [Dubstep] [ http://tinyurl.com/ydgqleaj ]

03:05 <Thelema5> (there are many sandwiches in my life)

03:05 <Cepheid> My stomach is looking inward and collapsing in on itself again.

03:05 <DashedRainbows> I also went out for food today

03:06 <Thelema5> Cepheid, that's awful!

03:06 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, sweet!  What did you have?

03:07 <DashedRainbows> It was breakfast. A Belgian waffle wrong bacon

03:07 <Thelema5> Ooooh.  Yum

03:07 <Schism> Wrong bacon?

03:08 * Schism offers Cepheid some chocolate chip pancakes.

03:08 <DashedRainbows> With, darnit Google

03:08 <Thelema5> There is no wrong bacon

03:09 <DashedRainbows> Yeah that's not even a possibility

03:09 <DashedRainbows> Unless Google is vegetarian

03:10 <Cepheid> Canadian Bacon is, in my opinion, wrong bacon.

03:11 <DashedRainbows> It's just badly named

03:11 *** Joins: Pi (saxopi@Pony-9vj.3d5.200.112.IP)

03:11 * Thelema5 isn't even mad about canadian bacon

03:12 <DashedRainbows> Just call it breakfast ham

03:12 <Thelema5> Works for me

03:13 * Cepheid refuses the pancakes, by the way. Would like to keep his sugar low.

03:13 <Schism> Ahhh.

03:14 <DashedRainbows> Speaking of good food, melted swiss is amazing

03:15 <Cepheid> That said, I should eat.

03:15 <Cepheid> I think.

03:15 * Cepheid checks blood. Wants to determine if this is due to high blood-glucose or low blood-glucose.

03:15 <Schism> Yes.  I had a Reuben sandwich earlier.  >.>  Corned beef, saurkraut, thousand island dressing, melted swiss, all on a toasted caraway rye with lots of butter.

03:16 <DashedRainbows> I once had that dish with chicken, ham and swiss. OMG

03:16 <Cepheid> 9.5.  Slightly higher than the recent usual.

03:17 <Cepheid> Also, the finger won't stop bleeding.

03:17 <Schism> Cepheid: Heh, dial your lancet back?

03:18 *** Quits: Chaosweaver (Chaos@Evil.Lives.Here) (Quit: Leaving)

03:18 <Cepheid> If I dial it back, I don't bleed at all.

03:19 <Thelema5> Schism, that sounds amazing.  I have the same scheduled for later this week.  Deferered Deferred Fulfilment is worth it

03:19 <Cepheid> There's no in between.  Four is too low, five is supposedly too high.

03:19 <Schism> Perhaps, perhaps... and huh.  @_@  Weird, Cepheid.  Maybe press down manually, a bit more?

03:21 * Cepheid just stabs himself with a knife. It's easier.

03:22 <Schism> ...

03:23 <Cepheid> Actually that raises a question I've wondered.

03:23 <Schism> A high school in California was the site of injuries yesterday, when, during a firearm safety course, a teacher fired a gun inside a classroom, wounding three.  None of them were hit with a bullet.  No, they were struck by debris falling from the ceiling that the teacher fired multiple rounds into.

03:23 <Cepheid> Does it have to be blood from the finger?

03:23 <Schism> Nah.  Extremities just bleed more easily.

03:24 <Schism> Some folks will prick their arm.

03:24 *** Quits: Pi (saxopi@Pony-9vj.3d5.200.112.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

03:24 <Schism> Regarding that firearm discharge: the teacher was 'checking if the gun was loaded'.

03:24 <Cepheid> I'm not sure I want him instructing me on gun safety.

03:26 <Schism> Not particularly, no.

03:28 <Cepheid> Forgets to check if gun is loaded before going into school.  Forgets to check if safety is turned on.  Brings gun into school.  Does safety checks *AT* the school.

03:28 <Cepheid> Given recent events, this is like, the worst possible sequence of actions one can perform.

03:29 * Cepheid noms on a container of raspberries despite just moments saying he didn't want to eat a lot of sugar.

03:30 <Schism> Cepheid: Well, to be fair, if you leave an unloaded firearm unattended for more than five seconds, then it's loaded.

03:31 <Cepheid> And in the hands of the inexplicable two-year-old-out-of-nowhere.

03:31 <Cepheid> Attempting accidental murder against maniacal rich men who run power plants.

03:31 <Schism> I can't possibly imagine what show you've been watching.

03:32 <Schism> (That was an interesting two-part episode.)

03:33 <Cepheid> Nah, just saw a reference recently.

03:33 * DashedRainbows glomps Thelema5

03:33 <Cepheid> You know, I just realized something horrible.

03:34 <Cepheid> There's a colleague at my university who's into memes a lot.  Like, a LOT.  I'm a Lite version of him.

03:34 <Schism> Yeeesh.  o.o;

03:35 <Cepheid> Hey shadow creatures.  Running around a lot today, hmm?

03:44 <Cepheid> Lately, a kitten has been coming by and harassing our cats.

03:44 <Cepheid> The kitten seems to instigate fights between Tizzy and Spitfire.  From what I've seen in the past, Tizzy tries to attack the cat outside the house, hits the window, and Spitfire reacts by attacking Tizzy.  The two fight, and lots of fur ends up on the floor.

03:48 <Cepheid> And now Spitfire is strangely interested in the clothing basket I put on the floor.

03:48 <Cepheid> Also, my dad thinks he figured out why Spitfire keeps chewing specific cables.  Apparently, modern cabling uses a plastic that's made from soybean oil.

03:49 <Cepheid> Which apparently smells good to various animals.  Particularly mice and cats.

03:49 <Cepheid> So it's possible that's what these cables are made of.

03:55 <Schism> Hmmm, that could certainly do it.

04:50 <Schism> Thelema5: Folks at the University of Winnipeg have reconstructed a 4th-century AD Greek beer recipe.  It involves sourdough.

04:50 <Pinkie93> Thelema5 I'm still worried/scared

04:50 <Schism> Oh wait.  An Egyptian one.  http://www.france24.com/en/20180314-canada-profs-4th-century-beer-classic

04:51 <Pinkie93> I hope everything goes back to normal.. What's happening to me is making me want to cry :/

04:52 <iandalton> Snapai I got this email last night: "We are beginning a search for a math teacher for the 2017-2018 school year. If you are still interested, let me know when you would be available for an interview, either in person or via Skype."

04:52 <Snapai> Neat!

04:52 <iandalton> Schism that makes more sense, the Greeks were always suspicious of beer as a foreign drink

04:56 <patrick> critically important question here

04:56 <patrick> are yoshis a kind of pony?

04:56 *** patrick is now known as Starwatcher

04:57 <Starwatcher> or are ponies a kind of yoshi?

04:57 <Schism> Yes.

04:57 <Schism> To your questions, that is.

04:57 <iandalton> i thought yoshi was a lizard

04:59 <Schism> More precisely, "Yes, with an if; no, with a but."

05:00 <Snapai> Spike is a goomba

05:03 * DashedRainbows licks Starwatcher

05:05 <Starwatcher> hahahah

05:05 <Starwatcher> but look

05:05 <Starwatcher> yoshi snoots look like pony snoots

05:05 <Starwatcher> they are the same minus the mane and 4 legs instead of 2

05:05 <Starwatcher> don't you see?

05:06 <DashedRainbows> How are you, Starwatcher?

05:06 <Schism> Starwatcher, also, Pinkie Pie's tongue is probably about as long as a Yoshi's.

05:10 <Snapai> blegh, I put too much soysauce on this natto and rice but I'm gonna eat it anyway x.x

05:11 <iandalton> ugh, natto

05:11 <Snapai> I probably should have mixed this with pudding, it had a more caramel-y smell

05:12 <Snapai> iandalton, I am not crazy about natto. Perhaps I don't have the smell/taste receptors for it, but tho it tastes and smells a bit off it doesn't seem particularly strong to me.

05:12 <Snapai> So I can manage to eat it. Though some part of the flavor/smell keeps my body going "....are you SURE we should be eating this?"

05:14 <Snapai> For those that eat it.

05:15 <Snapai> Annoyingly, I can get natto extracts at the local healthfood store...for about $1-$2 a pill, and they've separated it into its component parts so you need to get like, four different bottles to get the same benefits as downing a serving of natto....I don't need to spend $10 a day on supplements when the natto itself is $1 a serving, less if I ferment it myself. x.x

08:00 <Tirek> Greetings.

08:01 <Tirek> Last night I made turkey burgers with feta and basil. Next time, I'll need to add less basil, but overall they were really good. I didn't even have to add condiments to them, though I suspect I should have lettuce and tomato on them next time around.

08:03 <Tirek> I still have that basil aftertaste, 10 hours later.

08:05 <ConfusionRift> Heh. That be a lot of basil.

08:07 <Tirek> The recipe called for 4 tablespoons per pound.

08:07 *** Joins: Pi (Mibbit@Pony-13f.262.94.119.IP)

08:07 <Tirek> Next time, I'm going to put only one in.

08:07 <Tirek> And maybe a tablespoon of garlic powder.

08:08 <Tirek> I like garlic.

08:08 <Tirek> Anyway

08:08 <Tirek> Dunno if I showed the "finished" version of this.

08:10 <ConfusionRift> I did see it, and I still like it alot. :)

08:11 <Tirek> I started trying to figure out how to do foreground objects today.

08:11 <Tirek> I'm struggling to make a tilable rocky fascade.

08:13 <Tirek> Programmer also started trying to figure out stuff today, too, we're culling unnecessary bloat in the prefab.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> These are also nice, and they do go well with the colors of the background, without them blending in.

08:14 <Tirek> I may have to do a separate foreground palette, but if I do, that's easier to do than assets themselves.

08:15 <Tirek> And I could probably pull it off by reducing the amount of hueshifting in the current palette.

08:16 <Tirek> Current palette only uses 19 colors, so.

16:01 <Cepheid> Okay, so, there's this hous nearby my place that burned down four years ago.  Like, to the foundation.  They investigated, found nothing suspicious, and then started rebuilding.

16:02 <Cepheid> Last month, it caught fire again.

16:02 <Cepheid> It didn't burn down completely though, so they were able to investigate it further.  It was declared a suspicious fire, because the house hadn't been completed after rebuilding from the last fire.

16:02 <Cepheid> This morning, it caught fire *AGAIN*.

16:02 <Schism> what.

16:02 <Cepheid> That was my response, too.

16:03 <Schism> Yeah, that's either a curse or someone's playing arsonist for funsies.

16:04 <Schism> Got a link to an article, or is it just on the local news?

16:04 <Cepheid> It was actually reported by parents.  Both drove by it as it was on fire.

16:06 <roflin> setting a building on fire "for teh lulz" doesn't seem like a particularly smart idea.

16:07 <Cepheid> I don't think it's "for the lulz" to be honest.

16:08 <Cepheid> It's the same house every time.

16:08 <Cepheid> I am starting to suspect it's a case of "Attempting insurance fraud."  Why set it on fire again? "Evidence was left behind.  Burn the house down completely."

16:09 <Cepheid> That house has now been under renovation/rebuilding for over a decade.

16:09 <Cepheid> Before the first fire, all renovation had been stalled for over two years.

16:09 <Cepheid> After the first fire, rebuilding started.  Then stopped for a year.  Then restarted.

16:10 <Cepheid> Then the fire in January, and now it's being investigated as a suspicious case.  And then again for a third time.

17:08 <Finwe> Good evening, my tiny equines.

17:12 <Cuddlepone> hello

17:12 * Cepheid sits atop Princess-Luna

17:12 <Cuddlepone> lol

17:12 <Princess-Luna> x3

17:13 <Schism> Ahahahah.

17:13 <Schism> A Vancouver driver managed to rack up two distracted driving tickets in 7 minutes.  Both for using a cell phone while driving.

17:14 <Cuddlepone> what does that got to do with ponies

17:15 <Princess-Luna> This isn't a purely pon' chat. :P

17:15 <Cepheid> Indeed.

17:15 <Cepheid> We discuss anything and everything here, so long as it's PG.

17:15 <Princess-Luna> we talk about them now and then, but this is very much a general lounge of discussion.

17:16 * DashedRainbows curtsies. Sir Finwe

17:16 <Finwe> Miss DashedRainbows.

17:16 * Finwe doffs his hat.

17:16 <Finwe> Time for some shopping. See you later.

17:16 <DashedRainbows> Howdy Cuddlepone

17:16 * Finwe flies off.

17:17 <Cepheid> Apparently the entire house is now cordoned off and police surrounding it.

17:17 <Cepheid> I don't blame them at this point.  Two fires in rapid succession on a house that burned down in three years ago.

17:19 <Princess-Luna> Sure isn't because somebody left the stove on

17:19 <Princess-Luna> thats for sure

17:19 <Cepheid> The house wasn't even filled with stuff prior to the first fire.

17:20 <Cepheid> It was still in construction, waiting to be sound for 1.2m dollars.

17:20 <Cepheid> Er, sold*

17:23 <Cepheid> The reason I consider it suspicious from the get go is that, when it burned down, it was under disconinuous renovation for over five years prior.

17:23 <Cepheid> As in, renovations would begin for a week or two, then stop for several months, then start up again for a couple of weeks, then stop again for a year, etc.

17:24 <Cepheid> Then it just burned down.  And it went up quickly, too.  It burned down to the foundation.  All that was left were a few charred wooden poles.

17:24 <Cepheid> Reconstruction afterwards was... ittermittent.  Periods of work, followed by long periods of nothing, then work again.

17:25 <Cepheid> Then a week or two after it essentially "looked complete" so to speak, it caught fire again.

17:25 <Cepheid> Apparently they have been having trouble selling the place, as well.  It initially started at 1.2 million dollars, then they reduced it to 1.0 million.

20:05 <Cepheid> There we go.  Got it doing what I wanted.

20:06 <Cepheid> For a platter drive, data=ordered is great.  Improves performance, at the risk of data loss.  But for a solid state drive, it's kinda pointless.

20:06 <Cepheid> Better to prevent data loss.

20:08 <Cepheid> Woman buys katana, stabs boyfriend for claims of cheating and playing too much PUBG.  Reality:  Video games don't make gamers violent.  They make people near the gamer violent.

20:08 <Lumin> hahaha

20:11 <Cepheid> ... *Sighs as he looks at some more news.*  "Pedestrian bridge in florida collapses, killing people."

20:12 <Ali> And Toys R Us is defunt

20:12 * Ali flops over Cepheid and sighs

20:12 <Cepheid> The US is falling apart, internally, morally, and structurally.

20:13 <Ali> People obviously don't watch enough pony

20:14 <Lumin> moar poni is needed

20:14 * Ali is not Hasbro, but S8 will start next week

20:15 <Lumin> This is sufficient

20:15 * Lumin noseboops her with his own nose

20:17 <Cepheid> Tonight, my plan is to fix my PC up.

20:19 * Lumin boops Ceph as wel

20:22 <Cepheid> I blasted my Windows 7 install by mistake.  I figure it might be time to clear everything away, and also do some maintenance on the PC.

20:22 <Cepheid> I want to attach the drives to appropriate ports, and figure out why the system keeps regularly finding that the GPU is missing or something similar.

20:30 <Starlight_Glimmer> If pretty much all of the official merch wouldn't suck as much I'd buy more :3

20:30 * Starlight_Glimmer burries Ali in brushables

20:31 * Ali squeaks

20:31 * Lumin dives into the pile, boops her nose again

20:32 * Lumin pulls GlimGlaim in

20:32 <Cepheid> Maybe re-install my old sound card as well.  Only issue there is it reduces the PCI-E speed of my video cards.

20:34 <Cepheid> Is it just me, or are people on the Internet a little too jumpy these days?  I made a Dihydrogen Monoxide joke.  Someone responded that Dihydrogen Monoxide is why they don't vaccinate(as a joke), and a person responded with "Please don't pro-create, and kill yourself."

20:36 * Starlight_Glimmer considers Lumin. Has a need for a stuffed horse.

20:37 * Lumin is considered

20:39 * Lumin considers GlimGlam

20:39 * Cepheid toys around with prolog.

20:39 * Cepheid applies it to Lumin.

20:39 <Lumin> o.o?

20:39 * Lumin flips Glimmy over, bellyrubs!

20:40 <Princess-Luna> New season of the AA anime announced....aaaaaaaaand of the 3rd game entirely? <3 The gods smile on me.

20:40 <Princess-Luna> I have hoped and desired for such a thing

20:40 * Lumin bellyrubs Luna as well

20:40 <Lumin> O 3O

20:40 <Cepheid> Prolog is a language that queries a database to perform stuff based on logic.

20:41 *** Joins: FreezeFrame (Dani@Pony-95rqkk.fios.verizon.net)

20:41 <Cepheid> So for example, if I put in the database, the following line:  "pony(Lumin).", and then typed "pony(lumin)." in a prolog interpreter that has loaded the database, it'll return true.  If I try "pony(Princess-Luna)." it'll return false as I have not declared Princess-Luna to be a pony.

20:41 <Cepheid> It's a pain in the butt.

20:42 <Cepheid> The prof even notes that knowing this will serve me no practical use in the field, other than giving me some knowledge about declarative programming.

20:42 <FreezeFrame> Had my first interview under my name, and I'm stressed but I don't think I did poorly

20:43 <Cepheid> It won't open any doors for me, nor will get me a job.

20:43 <iandalton> Cepheid you may see different solutions to problems. I know I tend to write Lisp in any language, even Java.

20:43 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:44 <Cepheid> I see some practical use to this language, in that it's good for practicing formal logic and such, but for writing programs?

20:44 <Cepheid> Not going to be of much use.  It'll help me figure out small chunks of logic here and there, but that's about it.

20:44 <Cepheid> As for Lisp, Lisp can burn.

20:44 <Cepheid> It can BURN.

20:44 <iandalton> What was prolog developed for originally?

20:45 <iandalton> You can take my Emacs when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!

20:46 * Cepheid steals iandalton's cold, lifeless hand he scavenged off a corpse, and pries Emacs from it.

20:46 <roflin> had to verify an small CPU in ACL2 (lisp dialect) *shivvers* never again.

20:46 <Cepheid> In reality I don't mind Lisp.

20:46 <Cepheid> But it's not my kind of language.

20:46 <Cepheid> I'm using a dialect called Scheme, too.

20:47 <roflin> yeah I hear you, functional languages aren't that bad... as long as the function abstraction is not too tedious te write... guess what is very tedious to write in Lisp...

20:48 <Cepheid> Functional languages, imperitive languages, declarative languages, etc, etc, etc.  They all serve a purpose.

20:48 <Cepheid> Some are simply teaching.  Others are production languages.

20:49 <iandalton> They all serve a purpose, but the overwhelming use of object-oriented languages isn't purely because they happen to be most suited for the job

20:50 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

20:50 <Cepheid> It's simply because at the moment, they are the easiest languages to utilize and express our world in.

20:53 <Cepheid> ... I just put in "P." in SWI Prolog.

20:54 <Cepheid> It responded "%...1,000,000 years.....10,000,000 years later.  >> 42 << (last release gives the question)"

20:55 <Cepheid> Apparently it does this when you request any sort of fact that doesn't exist.

22:46 <Thelema5> jimm, that sounds awesome to be honest

22:46 <Cepheid> ... How does this even come off?

22:47 <Thelema5> Hatchet?  Chisel?

22:48 <Thelema5> iandalton, I'm too lazy for shakes.  I've just been adding chocolate syrup to make chocolate flaxmilk

22:48 <Thelema5> a few grams of sugars and flavors makes the medicine go down, the medicine go doooown, the medicine go down

22:49 <iandalton> yep

22:50 <iandalton> woo, the other school I wanted to apply to finally has their website up again, I sent off an application

22:50 <iandalton> Now I should look into applying for similar schools in China

22:51 <Thelema5> Good luck!

22:52 <iandalton> Thanks :D

23:04 <Cepheid> DEAR LORD!  What is wrong with this case and the cats!?

23:06 <Cepheid> Well the front fan doesn't look TOO bad.

23:06 <Cepheid> But that's only because it had a filter in front of it.

23:06 <Cepheid> A filter that was caked in dust.

23:06 <Cepheid> There is no way air was getting through it.

23:07 <ADragonDreaming> cleaning time

23:09 <Cepheid> I already cleaned it.

23:09 <Cepheid> Now I have to decide on how I want to set up cooling.  Negative pressure or positive pressure.

23:10 <ADragonDreaming> one last call for alcohol

23:11 <Cepheid> Looks like positive pressure is what I should use, given the GPU setup.

23:11 <Cepheid> Nah, negative pressure.  Examined the GPUs a bit better.

23:12 <Cepheid> Which means that the front fan needs to pull in, and the rest need to push out.

23:13 *** Quits: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP) (Quit: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mircea/)

23:21 <Cepheid> Right, these case fans are the same size, same model.  So they're probably about the same CFM.

23:23 <Cepheid> Well, that's the best I can do now.  Time to put it all back together.

23:24 <Cepheid> ...

23:24 <Cepheid> I've been running my SSD on the wrong bloody port.

23:24 <Cepheid> It's on a 3Gbps port, rather than one of the 6Gbps port.

23:27 <ADragonDreaming> That sounds like a thing you should fix

23:27 <Cepheid> I did.

23:27 <Cepheid> I wanted to re-order all the drives in the BIOS.  Turns out I had them all on SATA 3Gbps.

23:28 <Cepheid> So I moved the SSD to slot 1 6G, my terabyte to slot 2 6G, and the rest are in 3 and 4.

23:28 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid, how big should I make my passive spawn mob farm?

23:28 <Cepheid> Hell if I know.  As big as you can dream?  I'd start at 64x64 myself to see how it fares.

23:28 *** Quits: Chaosweaver (Chaos@Evil.Lives.Here) (Connection closed)

23:28 <Cepheid> Let's see, what other things can I change?  *Reads manual*

23:28 <ADragonDreaming> 64x64 would be the largest single construction in my base so far.

23:29 <ADragonDreaming> Perhaps I will sudoku it.

23:29 <Cepheid> Disable TPU.  Disable EPU.

23:29 <Cepheid> Sorry, I just happen to like powers of two.

23:29 <Cepheid> If you want smaller, 32x32.

23:30 <ADragonDreaming> still the largest single construction.

23:30 <ADragonDreaming> ...I should put it at the bottom of the void.

23:31 <Cepheid> Otherwise, a cursory glance of this motherboard reveals it's in perfect condition.  Bit of dust here and there, but no burst caps, bloated caps, or scorch marks anywhere.

23:32 <Cepheid> Though for reasons unknown, I have my memory in A2 and B2 instead of A1 and B1.

23:32 <Cepheid> Though that doesn't seem to matter.

23:34 * Cepheid looks for old sound card, to see what type of PCI-E it is.

23:34 *** Quits: Thelema5|away (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

23:35 <ADragonDreaming> 64x64 is unreasonably large.

23:36 <Cepheid> Okay okay, 21x21

23:36 <Cepheid> Also, found card.  PCI-E 1x.  I can still install it.  THought I wouldn't be able to because second video card is in a tight spot.

23:38 <Cepheid> Just found an offboard network card.  Should I install it?  I think I have the space.

23:39 <Cepheid> No, wait, I don't.

23:44 <Cepheid> Aaand that's all the backplates closed off.

23:48 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP)

23:48 <Cepheid> I am going to assume this sound panel, or the disc drive, should be moved into a different bay to prevent electrical interference to the audio.

23:51 <Cepheid> Aaand I appear to be missing some cables to hook up the audio panel.

23:56 <Cepheid> Okay, you know what?

23:57 * Cepheid takes two boxes of cables, and grabs four garbage bags.

23:57 <Cepheid> It's time to clean up.

23:57 <Cepheid> This is utterly ridiculous.  I know I have the cables here somewher.  I just need to find them.

23:58 <Cepheid> But while I do that, I may as well clean up.
