03:05 <PinkieShy> Cauliflower.
03:05 <PinkieShy> It was steamed and it was like a little hard and flavorless but it was amazing.
03:05 <PinkieShy> the hardness of it reminded me of a potato chip.
03:05 <Thelema5> Cauliflower is great. Super versatile.

03:06 <PinkieShy> My mom told me if i like Cauliflower i'd probably like steam broccoli
03:06 <PinkieShy> I need to try that.. :P I'd probably eat it with cheese tho.
03:07 <Thelema5> Broccolis also a member of the brassica family, another favorite of mine
03:07 * Thelema5 loves cruciferrous vegetables
03:07 <Cepheid> Do thimbles even exist in this day and age? I haven't seen one in over a decade now. Have they been replaced by something new?
03:07 <Thelema5> I have a few
03:08 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 i tried it at Golden Corral today
03:08 <Thelema5> I did inherit them from my mother, though... so technically not from this day and age
03:08 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:08 <PinkieShy> I saw they had cauliflower on the buffet so i said what the heck.. I've been wanting to try it so.
03:08 <PinkieShy> I went with my gut, got 1 of it on my plate and boy was it the best choice ever
03:08 <Thelema5> It's yummy!
03:08 <ADragonDreaming> Thimbles will be found in the households of those who sew.
03:09 <Cepheid> Pinkieshy, my experience is that steamed veggies are somewhat easier on the palate for eating. Brocolli tends to work best steamed rather than dry or at room temperature. IIT is a slightly different texture from cauliflower.
03:09 <Thelema5> This is a super easy and delicious recipe https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/54675/roasted-garlic-cauliflower/
03:10 <Cepheid> Dry, uncooked, broccoli is a lot like chewing into a bunch of densely packed miniature leaves. Steamed though, they have a crisp texture I find. I usually eat mine plain. No butter or salt, much to my parents dismay.
03:11 <PinkieShy> at least i am experimenting. :)
03:11 <PinkieShy> And found something i like :P
03:11 <DashedRainbows> I actually did not care for ep 3 much, though I did like them Pie sisters
03:12 <Thelema5> Cepheid, I love cooked broccoli- but raw is not a thing I enjoy
03:12 <ADragonDreaming> provided you haven't steamed it too much.
03:12 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 if i buy Broccoli i'd roast it :P
03:12 <Thelema5> I had a broccoli cassarole as part of my Easter brunch today, super cheesy
03:12 <ADragonDreaming> The cafeteria at my workplace ... grills it? or something. It gets slight char and is salty delicious.
03:12 <Cepheid> Even soggy broccoli is nice one in a while. When it comes to veggies I seem to have a preference for eating them plain.
03:13 <Thelema5> Pinkie_Pie, roasted broccoli is great, just drizzle with olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, ground pepper, and oregano...
03:14 <Thelema5> Simple.
03:14 <Thelema5> Maybe even a touch of balsamic vinegar
03:14 <Cepheid> My thoughts on the book: Alice doesn't quite seem all.... There in the head. Even for a child.
03:15 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 I think you mean me. Not Pinkie_Pie :P
03:15 <Thelema5> Cepheid, the character was based on a real child friend of Dogdeson- who he later photographed, he wrote the story for her and her sister

06:01 <Cepheid> Problem is the retailers are laughing their butts off to the banks in response. They love bit miners because they are making money off of them.

06:01 <ConfusionRift> "Supply and demand, baby. They're our demand, and we're their only supply." (grins)
06:02 <Finwe> Hmm, €647.99 on the European Newegg site.
06:02 <Finwe> But ships without a processor.
06:02 <Finwe> And memory.
06:03 <ConfusionRift> So... just a PCB?
06:04 <Finwe> Add 16 gigabytes of RAM and a Core i7 or Core i5 processor and you have a feasible gaming box.
06:04 <ConfusionRift> $779 on Amazon, for PNY GTX 1080 (not a Ti) 8GB, aaand there it went.
06:04 <Cepheid> And case I assume.
06:05 <Cepheid> Anyway, bedtime for me.
06:05 <ConfusionRift> Alrighty, have a good one.
06:05 <Finwe> Good night.
06:06 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, in factorio, what's the best alternative to chopping down forests by hand?
06:09 <Cepheid> Deconstruction with bots. Automatic rifle with AP rounds. Combat shotgun with AP rounds. Tank with explosive shells. Rocket launcher with rocke
06:09 <Cepheid> With explosive rockets, rocket launcher with nuke.
06:09 <RazorSharpFang> I'm not far enough with the tech-tree for any of those. Dang.
06:10 <Cepheid> Then get a steel pick and start chopping.

06:11 <RazorSharpFang> Initially, I thought the trees would be useful for pollution decrease, but then I just destroyed all the spawners.
06:12 <Cepheid> The spawners will eventually return. The bugs like to expand. Best way to prevent it is to wall off any region you don't want them expanding into.
06:12 <RazorSharpFang> Wait, they respawn?
06:12 <Cepheid> Mind this only applies to free play and such. Campaign and tutorial not so much.
06:13 <Cepheid> In standard free play mode, the map is endless and covered with more bugs and spawners the further you go away from the spawn point.
06:13 <ConfusionRift> Yep, they expand, and expand they will the more spawner you kill.
06:13 <Cepheid> Those bugs can, and will expand.
06:15 <ConfusionRift> And they will become stronger, and angrier.
06:15 <RazorSharpFang> My evolution factor is 0.28 (Time 46%, Pollution 31%, spawner-kills 23%)
06:15 <Cepheid> Also, as time progresses, pollution grows worse, and you destroy more enemy bases, the bugs get stronger. The bases spawn stronger bugs when certain evo factors are reached. Check with the console using /evolution as the command. Console is ~/` key.
06:16 <RazorSharpFang> I noticed enemy bases where there weren't before, and I was wondering if I just mis-remembered, or if it spawned there.
06:16 <Cepheid> 28%. So medium biters should be appearing.
06:17 <Cepheid> They don't necessarily pop out of thin air. The logic creates a group of bugs at one base, which wanders to a spot, dies off and a base appears.
06:17 <RazorSharpFang> Like a bee-swarm.
06:17 <Cepheid> So if you block the bugs from getting somewhere, they won't spawn bases in that somewhere area.
06:18 <RazorSharpFang> Won't they just attack walls?
06:18 <Cepheid> You got turrets man.
06:18 <Cepheid> Line that wall with turrets. All the turrets.
06:19 <RazorSharpFang> I still can't believe that laser turrets have a usage of 24 MW
06:19 <ConfusionRift> Have fun at .90. :P
06:19 <Cepheid> Ammo? Ammo belt path alongside the turrets. Inserters take from belt and load into turrets. Or laser turrets.
06:19 <ConfusionRift> They also have a buffer that have to be recharged.
06:19 <Cepheid> Yeah. That's what the laser turrets fire from. The buffer.
06:20 <Cepheid> The 24MW is only when charging.
06:20 <Finwe> RazorSharpFang: The pulse lasers for 20 years ago had power usage around 1 MW.
06:20 <Cepheid> ... And even then 24 sounds like a lot. You sure it isn't 2.4?
06:20 <RazorSharpFang> Actually, yeah, it might be.
06:21 <RazorSharpFang> 3.1 MW, why'd I say 2.4?
06:21 <Cepheid> 6.4 MW when charging. 24kW drain.
06:21 <RazorSharpFang> The drain is 24KW. That's it.
06:21 <Cepheid> Drain is nothing.
06:22 *** Tempo is now known as Tempo-Sleep
06:22 <RazorSharpFang> I've finally got oil production and processing too - needed the sulfuric acid for the accumilators.
06:22 <Cepheid> Me and Rift have a base with over 300 laser turrets. Powered by solar panels. The base itself also draws from those panels.
06:23 <Cepheid> Something like 2,000 panels and another 5,000 accumulators.
06:23 <RazorSharpFang> How many accumulators per panel is desired?
06:24 <Finwe> What if there were an attack at nighttime? You'd discharge your accumulators with no hope of recharging them.
06:24 <RazorSharpFang> I think that's why there's so many of them
06:24 <Cepheid> Less than one panel per accumulator. Ideally you use substations to create large solar arrays that feed into large accumulator arrays.
06:25 <RazorSharpFang> Should I be aiming to wean my base off of steam-power?
06:25 <ConfusionRift> We got an emergency steam system. Then again, there's like a continent worth of solar panels and accumulators, so by the time everything gets depleted, the sun is up, recharging everything.
06:25 <Cepheid> Finwe, the accumulators store something like 40GJ of energy. The base at full load doesn't even use a quarter of this.
06:25 <Cepheid> Overnight that is.
06:26 <Cepheid> Alien attacks are frequent but small. The drain from the lasers is inconsequential compared to the base.
06:27 <Cepheid> Razor, weaning off steam is an idea yes, but it is a bit hard to get going.
06:27 <RazorSharpFang> Currently, the steam helps me through the night.
06:28 <Cepheid> If you really want to reduce pollution, switch as much as possible to electricity and use efficiency modules. They reduce the power usage and pollution of the buildings they are in drastically.
06:29 <Cepheid> Less pollution, few
06:29 <Cepheid> ....
06:29 <Cepheid> Less pollution, smaller cloud. Smaller cloud, less attacks.
06:30 <Cepheid> Anyways I need sleep.
06:30 <RazorSharpFang> Alrighty, good night. Thanks for the info.

07:53 <RazorSharpFang> I think Factorio is "I need more [iron/copper/etc]" - the game.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Yeeeeep!
07:53 <RazorSharpFang> Will I just have to keep extending out when I deplete the local resources?
07:54 *** Quits: Reia (Reia@TheCowPony) (Connection closed)
07:55 <ConfusionRift> You will eventually have to. Resources are not infinite, so you will have to look for spots with greater yield. The starting point has resourceful areas, but not as yielding as the further away areas.
07:55 <RazorSharpFang> For some reason, the oil's lasting for eons.
07:55 <ConfusionRift> Also, the game's research WILL urge you to look for other resources outside iron, copper, coal.
07:56 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah like stone.
07:56 <ConfusionRift> To my understanding, that's the only resource that doesn't really run out, but it will decrease in yield.
07:56 <RazorSharpFang> Oh, so it'll just slow, but never really run out?
07:56 * ConfusionRift nods.
07:56 * Finwe nodnods.
07:57 <RazorSharpFang> I don't suppose I could just keep planting more pumpjacks on the same oil patch?
07:57 <ConfusionRift> That won't do much. Aside from upgrading the jacks with modules.
07:59 <ConfusionRift> It would be very costly though.
08:00 <ConfusionRift> Remember that you can have only one jack per oil spot.
08:00 <RazorSharpFang> Ah
08:01 <ConfusionRift> They will eventually run down to 2 units per second, in which point, you can only increase it with speed modules and beacons.
08:04 <RazorSharpFang> How far off from am I from module making if I've just done oil refignment?
08:07 <ConfusionRift> After that, you would have to finish Plastics, Advanced Electronics, and finally Modules research.
08:09 <ConfusionRift> Right after Advanced Electronics, you can move to Electric Engine. Bot researches open from there.
08:10 <RazorSharpFang> What's the minimum yield for an oil field?
08:10 <ConfusionRift> 2/s.
08:10 <ConfusionRift> That's the minimum, and when it basically dries out.
08:11 <RazorSharpFang> 3.9/s right now... so... not great.
08:12 <ConfusionRift> How many jacks?
08:12 <RazorSharpFang> Just one, that's all that can fit on it.
08:13 <ConfusionRift> So you found a single spot of oil? Hmm, that won't do. You will have to venture into the wilderness soon.
08:13 <RazorSharpFang> So far it has meant that I don't have to burn coal for fuel anymore - I now use solid fuel.
08:14 *** Quits: Persona (Tilde@Pony-b0l7hh.res.rr.com) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
08:17 <RazorSharpFang> So convenient to have a copper ore field next to a coal field.
08:17 <ConfusionRift> Once it drains, you can still use it for fuel production to power steam. But you will need a larger field for plastics, fuel, petroleum gas, lubricant, and some other machines.
08:17 <ConfusionRift> Very convenient. :P
08:19 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-cvibue.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)
08:19 <RazorSharpFang> It was mentioned earlier that the spawners kinda... reproduce(?) on free-mode. How can you tell if it's going to?
08:22 <ConfusionRift> They don't really "reproduce". At least from what I have seen. What they do is they send a group of biters to a random spot on the map near a base, and create a base there. So, any open area where a biter can get to is free game for them to expand.
08:23 <RazorSharpFang> Is there any way to know which ones are likely?
08:24 <ConfusionRift> Areas next to bases. They won't create bases in enclosed areas where biters can't get to.
08:24 <RazorSharpFang> When you say bases, do you mean enemy bases or my base?
08:25 <ConfusionRift> Enemy bases, or enemy spawn points.
08:25 <ConfusionRift> That mess of flesh where biters come out of is called a base.
08:26 <RazorSharpFang> So far I've been driving around the border of where the pollution is, and looking for enemy spawners - I've seen one crop up twice so far.
08:27 <ConfusionRift> They won't make any bases too close to your base, at least I haven't seen them do that.
08:29 <ConfusionRift> "Every 4-60 minutes, a group of 5-20 biters will leave their base to create a new base. This group will search for a suitable spot that's 3-7 chunks away from existing bases. Once they have found a suitable spot, the group dies and forms a new base. This new base will at first be very small (about one nest and a few worms), but will grow as time passes."
08:30 <RazorSharpFang> Is that "time" the evolution criteria or nah?
08:32 <ConfusionRift> That time frame is not affected by evolution. Evolution factor basically indicates how they grow. At low percentages, biters and spitters are small and weak enough to deal with using your service pistol. On higher percentages... well, let's say that you will need either turrets with uranium ammo, or laser turrets with a bunch of accumulators.
08:33 <RazorSharpFang> And presumably walls.
08:33 <ConfusionRift> Suggestion of at least three layers thick.
08:34 <RazorSharpFang> So far it's been real peaceful - probably because I go out and hunt spawners that are near the pollution border.
08:35 <ConfusionRift> I should point out that killing bases will increase the evolution factor the most.
08:35 <RazorSharpFang> So far only 21% is due to spawner kills.
08:38 <RazorSharpFang> Is that 3 layers of stone wall, or which type of wall?
08:38 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, each game second increases the evolution factor by 0.0004%, each each 1000 units of pollution by 0.0015%, and each destroyed base by 0.2%.
08:39 <ConfusionRift> As far as I know, there are only stone walls at the moment... unless that changed/
08:40 <RazorSharpFang> I've just been playing a while, and slowly I guess.
08:41 <ConfusionRift> It does take a while at the start, especially with limited resources.
08:45 <RazorSharpFang> Is there no way to increase the range of your radars?
08:49 <ConfusionRift> As far as I know, no.
08:50 <ConfusionRift> The more radars, the faster map surveying coverage. But each radar has their own local scan range.
08:50 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, I wanted a higher local scan range.
08:52 <RazorSharpFang> So far I've researched laser-turret shooting speeds/damage 4.

18:04 <Cepheid> One thing I hate about heavy bass in songs: I can't tell if the bass is too loud or not, as I can both feel it in the floor(Which indicates it's too loud), but I can also feel it "through the air" so to speak.

Though it's a bit worse for me, as I am by nature hearing impaired, so I turn things up a bit more than most people to hear things clearly. However, I try to keep a sense of how loud things might be, and... well, bass makes that hard to do.

18:21 <RyuImperator> don't drink too much, or you stop time :D
18:21 <Cepheid> I can't drink more than a cup or two a day.
18:21 * Tempest-Shadow chuckles
18:21 <Cepheid> If I try, I go insane.
18:22 <Cepheid> So I can't recreate Fry's experience.
18:22 <Tempest-Shadow> I'm the one where the coffee ends up going to around here
18:22 <RyuImperator> good

18:32 <ADragonHoarding> Indeed.

18:56 <Cepheid> I'm trying to add a service to the Minix kernel, but have little documentation to work with, and I'm bodging my way through trial and error.
18:57 <ADragonHoarding> ah.
18:58 <ADragonHoarding> Being in the call center business, the word "Minix" has unfortunate associations.
18:58 <ADragonHoarding> Not so much the kernel as the company.
18:59 <RyuImperator> minix is the Operating system from Tannenbaum or?
19:01 <Cepheid> Yes.
19:01 <Cepheid> My class project for Operating Systems is to implement POSIX asynchronous I/O in Minix 3.
19:03 <Finwe> Modern Operating Systems by Andrew S. Tanenbaum?

19:04 <Finwe> Tanenbaum was born in New Amsterdam, but he lives in the original Amsterdam nowadays.
19:05 <Cepheid> I just wish, ye know, my brain functioned for much of the semester. Instead, I had to go as far as ending up in a FRIGGEN HOSPITAL before it started functioning again.

19:07 <Finwe> Cepheid being annoyed or Sethisto's post?
19:09 <Cepheid> The post.
19:11 <Cepheid> Just adding a new service to MINIX requires changes in multiple source code files to replicate various things. In the kernel itself, I need to add a new endpoint/proc number. Then in the reincarnation server, adjust the system services and private boot image table, and a number of other tables everywhere else.

19:34 <RyuImperator> well the interpration of the 3. means here: The one who is in charge
19:34 <Cepheid> Someone's gotta keep the US from ruining itself. Unfortunately, we're not doing a very good job of it.
19:39 <Ali> Cepheid, you forgot one
19:39 <Cepheid> Oh?
19:39 <Ali> Future 51st state *FLEES*
19:39 * Cepheid throws a whiffle bat at Ali as she runs.
19:41 * Cepheid also catnaps Ali's kitties while she's gone. o3o!
19:41 <RyuImperator> which 51 state?
19:41 <Ali> Canada of course!
19:42 <Ali> They're already high on nip Cepheid so jokes on you! :P
19:43 <Cepheid> RyuImperator: It's a common joke in the US, that Canada is the 51st US state.
19:43 <Cepheid> Though it'd never work out. We're too socialist for the US.
19:44 <Ali> Usually ticks the Canadians off more than that
19:44 <Cepheid> The more frequently you hear that joke, the less of an impact it has.
19:45 <Ali> Guess you hear it a lot then huh?
19:45 <RyuImperator> I think everyone is to socialist for the US, even our right parties here in Germany are to socialist
19:45 <Cepheid> More than I'd like to, yes.
19:45 <Ali> I don't use it that often
19:45 <Ali> Only the 2nd time I've ever done that line. I only do it to tease
19:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, but I hear it outside of IRC.
19:46 <Ali> Sorry :P
19:46 * Ali tried Canadian Sorry, its not very effective.
19:47 <Cepheid> Besides, it goes the other way too. The common stereotype of Americans these days is... It's different from a few years ago, let's leave it at that.
19:48 <Ali> Heh
19:49 <Ali> Just how common is the Canadian Sorry Cepheid?
19:49 <Cepheid> Common enough that I've been yelled at for apologizing too much.
19:50 <Cepheid> I went to the Netherlands a few years back. I was there for 10 days. By the third day, my hosts were getting annoyed with me apologizing all the time. By the end of the trip one of them was slapping me every time I said "Sorry."
19:50 <Ali> Wow
19:51 <Cepheid> As it is, I apologize every time I think I am an inconvenience, annoyance or think I'm in the way.
19:51 <Cepheid> Which is almost all the time.
19:53 <Cepheid> Walking down a tunnel and I'm moving too slowly? I cram myself off to the side to get out of people's way, and apologize. On a bus, and my bag lightly touches someone? "Sorry" and I find some way to keep it from happening again. Someone bumps into me? "Sorry."
19:54 <Ali> You're just too kind Cepheid
19:54 <Tempest-Shadow> Wanna play a board game... " Sorry! "
19:54 <Tempest-Shadow> :P
19:54 * Ali bonks Tempest-Shadow for that bad joke
19:55 <Cepheid> As it is, I see myself as a burden upon society, both since birth and presently. So I try to account for it by getting out of people's ways, among other things.
19:55 <Cepheid> Whether that's actually the case is up for debate.

21:42 <ADragonDreaming> Always.
21:44 <Cepheid> Tempest. Tempest 2000, Tempest X3(Also known as Tempest 3000), and now Tempest 4000.
21:44 <ADragonDreaming> like rez
21:44 <ADragonDreaming> or asteroids
21:47 <Cepheid> True.
21:48 <Cepheid> Admittedly, the nature of these older games is that they are simple to implement, so a great way to practice game development, or toy with hardware you're not familiar with.
21:48 <Cepheid> Though oddly enough, replicating games like Tempest, Asteroids and other such games from that era are *HARD* to do.
21:48 <ADragonDreaming> also simple gameplay is fun.
21:48 <Cepheid> Especially if you try to replicate the visual nature.
21:49 <Cepheid> Those games were designed with X-Y displays in mind. Those displays did not use rasterization like current tech does.
21:49 <ADragonDreaming> raster the wigmam?
21:49 <ADragonDreaming> *wigwam
21:50 <Cepheid> It's possible to implement, but tricky as OpenGL and D3D were not designed with wide lines in mind.
21:50 * ADragonDreaming creates another stack of dirt.

23:16 * Cepheid upgrades a bunch of gear by infusing it with crystalized blood. o3o Mostly A and B type blood.
23:27 <Cepheid> As for the game, it seems to be loosely based on a number of fairy tales. I say loosely because I'm pretty sure none of them involved utterly twisted and warped depictions of insanity. The City Streets area seems to be focused around Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and is represented by a haunted castle full of card-themed enemies, card- and jail-themed walls, and heart-shaped gates. The graveyard, heck if I know.
23:32 <Cepheid> Hey there creepy eye. I don't know why the game drew attention to your existence, but every time I see you in an area, I'm creeped out now. Because *WHAT* do you do? I can't interact with you.

23:50 <Cepheid> If the header for the graveyard is any indication, it's association may be Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. It consists of apples, tombstones and vines entwined around the word "Graveyard".
23:52 <Cepheid> No.
23:53 <Cepheid> It'd probably be closer to Sleeping Beauty. Though, unfortunately it's hard to verify or confirm.
