01:17 <Snapai> *scrolls up*

01:17 <Snapai> I buy celtic sea salt. It's actually a local company, not celtic.

01:18 <Snapai> Has a blend of various salts in it, which makes it a little more interesting than regular salt or lite salt. Unfortunately not iodized. So I mixed in a buncha kelp granules. :D

02:34 <PinkieShy> Schism i went back to windows 10 and its working no issues :)

02:35 <PinkieShy> I wonder if the issue i had before was just because of that 1709 update.. If Microsoft messed up something with AMD.

02:35 <PinkieShy> But fixed it sometime after i left to 8.1 lol

02:46 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)

02:46 <Thelema5> Hello everypony

02:47 <Schism> Hihi.

02:47 <Thelema5> I just asked myself, "Self, why the heck am I working at 10:45 PM?"

02:47 <Thelema5> Not having a good answer, I am now here

02:47 <Stormspark> lol

02:47 <Stormspark> my work had a really shitty time about a half hour before I left

02:47 <Stormspark> the plumbers were 1 floor above apparently unclogging a toilet

02:47 <Stormspark> only someone broke a pipe

02:47 <Stormspark> and it all came down through our ceiling

02:47 <Thelema5> Oh no! Gross.

02:48 <Stormspark> it wasn't right by my desk...but let's just say I'm glad I was leaving soon and am off the next 2 days

02:48 <Stormspark> it smelled like a sewer in there

02:48 <Thelema5> Good thing

02:48 <Stormspark> talk about a shitty situation

02:48 <Thelema5> Someone must have found a $20 bill and went to taco bell to celebrate

02:49 <Stormspark> they had maintenance people in there by the time I left, I offered them some febreeze lol

02:49 <Thelema5> How about some biohazard suits?

02:49 <Stormspark> now this is awesome, new lock screen wallpaper

02:49 <Stormspark> https://i.imgur.com/PdIDABS.png

02:51 <Thelema5> I sometimes work in an old creepy half-abandoned resort hotel, their maintenance guys have the worst job in the world.  Pipes break every day, toilets leaking, leaking ceilings, mold, it's a disaster area

02:51 <Thelema5> The only safety gear they get is gloves :/

02:53 <Stormspark> I just don't really worry about it

02:53 <Stormspark> and I only get sick once every 3-4 years

02:55 <Stormspark> ok, theoretically my Switch should now work again

02:55 <Stormspark> haven't been able to use it since Sunday evening

02:55 <Stormspark> because the SD card in my phone died.  First time I've ever seen one die (granted I had it for 6 years)

02:55 <Stormspark> fortunately I could still read from it but it was impossible to write to

02:55 <Thelema5> The guests at that hotel have no idea how bad some parts are... I have video footage from inside one  of the older, abandoned sections- complete with rooms that have shared bathrooms.  If you look out the windown you can see a roof below- that's an occupied section that has been rennovated

02:55 <Stormspark> so I had to steal the one from my Switch to use for my phone (because phone is more important), 128gb, and ordered a 256gb for the Switch

02:55 <Thelema5> !link https://youtu.be/L7ctk3w34UU

02:55 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

02:55 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Exploring Abandoned Buildings Swallowed Up by a Large Hotel Complex

02:56 <Stormspark> I've always wanted to explore an abandoned buildint

02:56 <Stormspark> it's fun

02:56 <Stormspark> my roommate once explored an abandoned mental hospital, he said it was creepy but a lot of fun

02:57 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

02:57 <Thelema5> I explore a lot of place, I have a exploring channel but it's mostly old mines, crumbling brick factories, hiking trails and kayaking

02:58 <Thelema5> (That video is not public on my channel because, well, I still work there)

02:58 * Stormspark nods

02:58 <Thelema5> <-- is ExploringWithJaye

02:58 <Stormspark> I'd like to check places like that out sometime lol

03:00 <Thelema5> It's funny, I actually have paralyzing anxiety and agoraphobia- I force myself to make these videos as a sort of therapy. It's not easy

03:00 <Stormspark> ah

03:01 <Thelema5> This is probably the coolest place I've explored, the ruined shell of an old 19th century Mountain Retreat Hotel

03:02 <Thelema5> !link https://youtu.be/Hce5_yRkvEE

03:02 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Exploring the Abandonded Ruins of the Overlook Hotel | Catskills Hiking | Ulster County, NY

03:03 <Stormspark> I don't understand this EQG stuff.  If I wanted to see high school kids cosplaying as characters I like, I'd just go to a con x_x

03:03 <Stormspark> I mean, I am going to a con in July

03:03 <Stormspark> but not for the cosplaying

03:04 <Thelema5> I think cosplaying is fun

03:07 <Stormspark> yeah, I'm just making fun of EQG.  I'm just glad it's not canon

03:07 <Stormspark> they went to some effort in the season 7 finale to make sure that was known, rofl

03:08 <Thelema5> :P

03:09 <Ali> Oh its canon

03:09 <SunsetShimmer> You sure seem to go quite eager for noncanon status x3

03:12 <Thelema5> !seen librarian

03:18 <Stormspark> it didn't happen, as far as FIM goes :P  That much is obvious, they've gone out of their way to contradict it 4 times

03:18 <Stormspark> going out of their way, meaning they put extra effort in to contradict it when it would've been less work to leave passive references in

03:19 <SunsetShimmer> The sirens were a thing - thats plenty enough

03:19 <Stormspark> at the same time, in a way I'm glad it exists because it acted as a filter for terrible ideas and kept them out of the show, kind of the same way that Voyager did for DS9

03:20 * Stormspark shrugs, they don't match though

03:20 <SunsetShimmer> They do

03:20 <SunsetShimmer> But its irrelevant

03:20 <Stormspark> all that means is that, once in Equestria there were noodle dragon things that were banished somehow.  Nobody knows where they were sent

03:20 * SunsetShimmer patpats

03:20 <SunsetShimmer> Get over the hate. X3

03:21 <PinkieShy> Why does firefox need 1GB of ram.. lol

03:21 <Stormspark> ...how many tabs do you have opened?

03:21 <PinkieShy> I remember a time back in the day it was only like 300mb of ram.

03:21 <PinkieShy> I have 1.

03:21 <PinkieShy> Its youtube

03:21 <Stormspark> buffering?

03:21 <PinkieShy> I have a theme enabled, joinhoney app, and adblock.

03:21 <Stormspark> only thing I can think of

03:22 <PinkieShy> Yeah probably.

03:22 <Stormspark> I mean streaming video takes a lot of memory

03:22 <PinkieShy> hmm.

03:27 <Thelema5> So on Friday I'm apparently going to an get-together at an iconic abandoned zoo which now offers tentrr sites for rent

03:29 <Thelema5> Tentrr is like airB&B for glamping sites (upscale camping)- landowners let tentrr set up semi-permanent campsites with luxury accommodations which they then rent online; the landown get a cut of the proceeds...

03:30 <Thelema5> I guess my sister rented one of these so I'm meeting her out there for a campfire cookout sorta thing.  Could be fun.  I have lots of fond memories of that zoo as a child before it closed

03:31 <Thelema5> This is actually a brilliant idea, kudos to them https://www.tentrr.com/

03:42 * Filly_Nightmares kneads Schism

03:44 <Stormspark> my cats peed in my laundry

03:44 <Stormspark> fortunately it was my dirty laundry

03:45 <Stormspark> but oh boy it smelled like ammonia

03:45 * Stormspark puts some vinegar in the washer with it

03:46 <Thelema5> Cat pee is the worst

03:47 <Thelema5> One of my cats peed on a brand new couch I had only purchased a few weeks earlier.  Not a cheap couch by any means... it was really my first "quality" peice of furniture (I've been pretty poor most of my life)

03:47 <Schism> Yeeeesh.  ._.

03:47 <Stormspark> I don't really have any furniture

03:47 <Stormspark> don't need it

03:47 <Schism> Huh.  Bitcoin mining now consumes more energy than the Czech Republic, and a single Bitcoin transaction could power a home for a month.

03:48 <Thelema5> I spent two days cleaning that thing

03:48 <Thelema5> Schism, it also produces more wealth, eh?

03:48 * Schism plays the drumroll.

03:48 <Stormspark> honestly, I think it needs to be regulated just for that reason

03:49 <Stormspark> it's actually measurably warming the planet now

03:49 <Schism> But yeah, a single BTC payment uses as much energy as an average US home in a month.

03:49 <Stormspark> it's basically a pyramid scheme anyway

03:54 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5

03:55 * Thelema5 tastes of falafel

03:56 <DashedRainbows> How are you?

03:57 <Thelema5> ... Okay I think?  Not sure.  My life may be crumbling around me, might not be.

03:58 <Thelema5> I have to start seeing a psychotherapist and my life partner may be leaving me, not sure

03:58 * DashedRainbows sighs

03:58 <Thelema5> But otherwise it's business as usual.  You?

03:58 <DashedRainbows> The former is meh I have for over a year

03:59 <Thelema5> Yeah

03:59 <DashedRainbows> Meeeeeh

03:59 <Stormspark> wait, I thought she already left awhile back, did she come back?

03:59 * Stormspark must've missed something o.o

03:59 <Thelema5> No, she just threatened to, it's complicated

03:59 <Stormspark> ohh

03:59 <Stormspark> well I don't know anything about her so I don't know what to suggest, good luck

03:59 <Cepheid> I hope getting access to a therapist goes better for you than it has me, Thelema.

04:00 <Thelema5> Me too

04:00 <Stormspark> I am probably not the best person to ask for relationship advice :P

04:00 <Stormspark> to put it mildly

04:00 <Cepheid> My appointment next month was rescheduled for next year.

04:00 <DashedRainbows> I mean I'm in Texas and I'm doing ok

04:01 <DashedRainbows> And we're ranked 50th in mental health

04:01 <Thelema5> Gah, that's not good

04:01 <DashedRainbows> Though my psychiatrist is so far away

04:01 * Ali stays in flyover country

04:01 <DashedRainbows> Like 20 miles

04:02 <Cepheid> All because the psych doctor wanted to either take the day off, or go on vacation.  The nurses aren't sure which.

04:02 <Thelema5> Cepheid, that seems excessive

04:03 * Stormspark looks up bluetooth keyboards for phone

04:03 <Thelema5> In more positive news, Jonathan Frakes is directing another episode of The Orville in season 2!!!

04:04 * Thelema5 fangirls

04:05 <Thelema5> Gosh I hope they don't cancel that show.  It's my most favorite thing since MLP

04:05 * Ali doesn't want G4 to end T.T

04:05 <Thelema5> I was ready two seasons ago

04:05 <Thelema5> It's going to be ok

04:06 <Thelema5> There's a whole new generation of target audience watching.

04:06 <Thelema5> Gotta update the it

04:07 <Stormspark> hm, this one looks pretty good

04:07 <Stormspark> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0099SMFVQ/ref=psdc_12879431_t3_B0148NPH9I

04:07 <Stormspark> I should probably watch that at some point

04:08 <Stormspark> I have mixed feelings about G4 ending.  G5 is supposed to be more "adult" (whatever that means), but I have a feeling I'm not going to like it for 2 reasons.  I have a feeling they will try to be "edgy".  And 2) if they reuse the same character names for different characters they are going to feel like cheap copies

04:08 <Stormspark> at the same time...I would rather G4 end on a high note than get run into the ground

04:09 <DashedRainbows> So much internal conflict argh

04:09 <Stormspark> just end it gracefully the way SG-1 did.  No stupid framing devices or time skips, just solve whatever the problem is and leave everything else to imagination

04:09 <Stormspark> see when people say "adult" they usually mean "edgy" which is actually LESS mature, and forces stuff in just for the sake of it being there.

04:09 <Stormspark> G4 is one of the most mature shows I've seen

04:10 <Stormspark> I've also heard rumors that "G5" has been delayed and that we may be getting a 10th season

04:10 <Stormspark> but even if it doesn't

04:10 <Stormspark> 9 seasons, with more episodes than SG-1 (which previously held the record for sci-fi/fantasy that isn't Doctor Who) is nothing to sneeze at, it had a good run

04:10 <Stormspark> and the fandom isn't going anywhere

04:11 <Stormspark> conventions and such will continue for decades or more

04:12 <Stormspark> I mean I wish it could continue forever but we know that's impossible.  Eventually the voice actors wouldn't want to do it anymore (seriously, keeping the same ones for 9 years is almost unheard of), writers will get tired, not be able to come up with good stories/etc, and it would jump the shark

04:12 <Stormspark> I'd rather that not happen, and the end be as good as the beginning

04:12 <Stormspark> I just hope they don't screw up the ending with future framing devices, time skips, merging with the elements/ascending to a higher plane of existence, or whatever

04:12 <Stormspark> just solve the problem of the day and let them get on with their lives and just let imagination take it from there

04:12 <Stormspark> ok rant over

04:13 <Thelema5> Stormspark, not to mention that the main character arcs ended a long time ago and they're just dragging it out at this point by bringing in a bunch of new secondary characters

04:14 <Stormspark> I wouldn't say they ended

04:14 <DashedRainbows> Meh now that I have that to think about I should mention something good

04:14 <Stormspark> but yeah, S8 hasn't really had many standout episodes yet.  Although Mean 6 was a LOT better the second time (that episode was pure fridge brilliance - it seemed underwhelming at first but that's only before I thought about it)

04:15 <DashedRainbows> I'm writing a short story

04:15 * Stormspark hmms

04:15 <DashedRainbows> Though it is a bit kinky

04:15 <SunsetShimmer> Season 8 needs more StarTrix episodes

04:15 * Cepheid wanders off to make a hot lemon.

04:16 <SunsetShimmer> That duo is always fub

04:16 <SunsetShimmer> Fun even

04:16 <Stormspark> guess we'll see

04:17 <Stormspark> another thing - time passes VERY slowly in-universe compared to out of universe

04:17 <Stormspark> we are BARELY into the 3rd in-universe year since the first episode

04:17 <Stormspark> it's only been 2 years and some change

04:17 <SunsetShimmer> Lol

04:17 <Stormspark> I think they're doing that because they don't want to age up the CMC (because they will have to if much more time passes)

04:18 <Stormspark> because they are right on the verge of having to transition to teenage models

04:18 <Stormspark> (aka, Fluttershy in Cutie Mark Chronicles flashback)

04:18 <Stormspark> seasons 1-3 all took place in 1 year, season 4 opener was exactly 1 year after the first episode

04:19 <Thelema5> Yeah... I spoke with claire corlette two years ago and she was lamenting the fact that she couldn't make her voice squeak anymore

04:19 <Stormspark> I don't think they want to age people too much

04:19 <Stormspark> because it would change the dynamic

04:19 <Thelema5> No cartoons do

04:19 <Stormspark> so they're just having much less time happen

04:19 <Thelema5> Hell, Stewie has been an infant on Family Guy for 16 seasons

04:20 <Stormspark> I mean, the mane 6 are already adults, they aren't going to really change much at all if they age them up a few years.  But a lot of other characters will

04:20 <Stormspark> well Family Guy is a comedy though

04:20 <Stormspark> comedy runs on rule of funny

04:21 <Stormspark> this show has a pretty coherent timeline, you just have to take into account a lot of season 1+2 episodes are in anachronic order.  They've gotten better about it

04:21 <Cepheid> I just realizer I haven't had a coffee in three days.  Mostly because I have been sleeping for those three days almost non-stop.

04:22 <Stormspark> caffeine has the opposite effect on me :P

04:23 <Thelema5> Heh.  Funny how that works

04:23 <Stormspark> I know, I just have weird physiology

04:24 <Stormspark> I also have super hearing and super smell

04:24 <Cepheid> I think I know why my cat likes being on this table.  Standing fully upright, his head is aligned perfectly with my chin.  Just halls to walk over to me and then *boop* headbutt.

04:24 <Stormspark> well sense of smell, I don't smell

04:24 <Cepheid> Halls - has*

04:24 <Thelema5> Cat headbutts are the best

04:24 <Stormspark> I have sleeping kitty on my pillwow

04:25 <Cepheid> It is basically their way of saying "I love you giant hairless cat with no tail"

04:25 <Cepheid> Apparently according to science, cats just see us as giant hairless cats.

04:25 <Stormspark> just walking around at work, I notice most people freaking stink.  I can smell most people from like 10 feet away

04:25 <Stormspark> even outside

04:25 <Stormspark> I am very sensitive to miniscule odors that most people don't even notice

04:26 <Thelema5> Stormspark, do you work in IT?

04:27 <Stormspark> my work doesn't allow smoking anywhere on the property (even outside), so that isn't as big of an issue...but like at my last job, I could tell if someone came in the outside door after smoking.  Even though they'd have to go thoruhg 2 more doors to get to where I was, I could tell the instant the outside door opened

04:27 <Stormspark> yep

04:27 <Stormspark> but my building has 11,000 people in it

04:27 <Thelema5> Well there ta go

04:27 <Thelema5> *ya

04:27 <Stormspark> a lot more than just IT in my building

04:27 * DashedRainbows sits on Thelema5 and breathes

04:28 <Cepheid> I actually worry over whether or not I smell.

04:28 <Stormspark> it's weird to walk around when there are groups of people.  Humans feel like aliens to me

04:28 <Thelema5> General rule of thumb... if someone notices even a slight odor from themselves, everyone else will notice X100

04:28 <Stormspark> well yeah I know that, but my sense of smell is way more sensitive than what humans are supposed to have

04:28 <Stormspark> hearing too

04:28 <Cepheid> Especially as there is a "scent" in my room that only I seem able to detect.  At first I assumed it was because my family was used to my presence and thus whatever smell I was giving off.

04:28 <Stormspark> and despite being nearsighted, my eyesight is VERY good in all other aspects (especially color perception)

04:29 *** Quits: SunsetShimmer (DerpDerp@DJ.Wub.Wub) (Quit: Nini)

04:29 <Cepheid> But then I asked my brother-in-law and he didn't smell anything either.  So only I can smell it.

04:29 <Thelema5> I'm generally sure I don't smell when out in public, I shower mid-day and use a prescription strength deodorant... I change my undergarments (including socks) three times a day, and I practice impeccable hand sanitation

04:30 <DashedRainbows> 0.o

04:30 <Cepheid> As for my hearing, it is more sensitive than I am used to.  Went from 70% hearing loss to 0%, and I can't tune out noise.

04:30 * Thelema5 sucks his thumb, so hand-washing is a constant thing

04:30 <Thelema5> Cepheid, you still haven't found a solution to that?

04:31 * DashedRainbows wishes he did something healthy to cope

04:31 <Thelema5> meditation, maybe?

04:32 <DashedRainbows> Maybe

04:32 <Stormspark> I never wash my hands unless I actually get them dirty

04:32 <Cepheid> Nothing that works longterm no.  Best solution for coping seems to be my antidepressant.  Alongside dealing with my depression, it sedates any anger or annoyance I feel from background noise.

04:32 <Stormspark> my ears build up wax really fax because my hearing is too sensitive

04:32 <Cepheid> Speaking of meditation and yoga, I am debating signing up for yoga courses at the school.

04:32 <LibrarianofHope> No good way to put this, someone just got shot outside my house

04:32 <LibrarianofHope> Im scared

04:33 <Cepheid> Geezus.  Are they still alive?

04:33 <DashedRainbows> Damn

04:33 <LibrarianofHope> No clue

04:33 <Stormspark> Unless I actually get dirt or sticky stuff on my hands I never wash them (well except in the shower)

04:33 <Stormspark> hmm

04:33 <LibrarianofHope> I heard 10 shots while reading and watching pawn stars

04:33 <Thelema5> Gah, I wash my hands every time I am out in public, use a public door, touch anything unfamilar, and when I have to do unsanitary chores... I even wash them seperately after washing dishing using a neutral castile soap

04:33 <Thelema5> *dishes

04:34 <Stormspark> I mean, if I get stuff on my hands I wash them, otherwise I don't bother

04:34 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, stay safe...

04:34 <Ali> LibrarianofHope, you heard Old Man died?

04:34 <LibrarianofHope> I called 911 and im in my bed with my doggies so they go to the roif

04:34 <Cepheid> I wash my hands regularly.  After dealing with my nose, after using the washroom, after eating...

04:34 <Thelema5> Castile soap is boss, I wash with it at least 12 times a day

04:34 <Stormspark> yep never wash my hands for any of that

04:34 <Thelema5> O.o

04:34 <Cepheid> Sometimes even just randomly because my hands feel inexplicably grimy.

04:34 <Stormspark> yeah if they feel grimy for some reason I will

04:35 <Thelema5> So many germs, so many...

04:35 <Cepheid> Storm, at the least wash your hands after using the washroom.  That's disgusting otherwise.

04:35 <Stormspark> I don't really care about germs

04:35 <LibrarianofHope> Im terrified, this was not supposed to happen

04:35 <DashedRainbows> Not even the restroom...

04:35 <LibrarianofHope> 😭😢

04:35 <Stormspark> well, not unless I actually get my hands dirty

04:35 <Cepheid> What about those around yuo?

04:35 <Thelema5> I guess I'm just hyper sensitive to it because of my habits

04:35 <Stormspark> I have my own desk that noone uses but me

04:35 <Cepheid> You still touch door handles, stair railings and the like.

04:35 <Stormspark> I'm not scared of germs...and I never get sick.  I've only been sick twice since I started watching FIM in 2011

04:36 <Stormspark> both times were flu, and only hit me for 2 days, while everyone else that got it was 2 weeks or more

04:36 <Thelema5> Cepheid, this.  Stair railings are the worst

04:36 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I am consistently sick due to a chronic sinus infection that won't pack up and leave.

04:36 <Stormspark> I'm probably due to get a cold or flu this year actually, it's been 3 years since I was sick

04:36 <DashedRainbows> As a future transplant patient I say don't do that to people

04:36 <Thelema5> I always feel so gross after walking up a public stairwell

04:37 <Stormspark> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X29lF43mUlo

04:37 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

04:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about George Carlin - Germs, Immune System

04:37 <Cepheid> Indeed. Dashed.  People with compromised immune systems for any reason are at the greatest risk.

04:37 <Cepheid> Storm, just because your immune system is good does not mean other peoples immune systems are.  Some have weakened or outright suppressed or compromised immune systems.

04:38 <DashedRainbows> Hell I got shingles at 22 so my immune system already sucks

04:38 <Thelema5> Stormspark, this is funny, but isn't accurate.  Hygine saves lives.  Millions of lives.

04:38 <Stormspark> I have hygiene

04:38 <DashedRainbows> It happens

04:38 <Stormspark> I have great hygiene actually

04:38 <Cepheid> Judging from what yoiu just told us...

04:39 <Stormspark> I just don't pee on my hands :P

04:39 <LibrarianofHope> ......

04:39 <Cepheid> I'm calling bull*yay*.

04:39 <LibrarianofHope> I need a hug people come on

04:39 <LibrarianofHope> Get with the program owo

04:39 * Thelema5 hugs LibrarianofHope greatly!

04:39 * DashedRainbows hugs LibrarianofHope

04:39 * Stormspark hugs

04:39 * Thelema5 hugs his good friend

04:39 <LibrarianofHope> They do say humor is a defense method

04:39 <DashedRainbows> Group hug!

04:40 <LibrarianofHope> What the heck do i even do?

04:40 <Thelema5> Also, Stormspark... pee is generally sterile unless there's an infection

04:40 * Stormspark nods

04:40 <Stormspark> I'd say...stay inside, and don't draw attention to your house

04:41 <LibrarianofHope> They put some stupid signs against crime on the streets

04:41 <LibrarianofHope> Not a peep in 20 plus years living here

04:41 <Stormspark> most of the time, stuff like that is a drug deal gone wrong, or someone with a personal vendetta against someone else

04:41 <DashedRainbows> I can feel the germs across irc

04:41 <Stormspark> it's not likely that they are going to break into a random person's house that they don't know

04:41 <LibrarianofHope> Im betting on vengeance

04:42 <Thelema5> LibrarianofHope, at least Mexico is going to compete in the big sportsball thing, right?

04:42 <LibrarianofHope> More so with everyone this alert

04:42 <LibrarianofHope> Is that sarcasm?

04:42 <Stormspark> like in a place I used to live, one time in the building across from me, I saw some dude run up stairs, kick the door in, rush inside, come out fighting with someone, shove a knife through his head, and toss him over the balcony

04:42 <Stormspark> that was...something to see

04:42 <Stormspark> turns out they were fighting over a girl or something

04:42 <Thelema5> LibrarianofHope, no... I just don't know anything about sports

04:42 <Stormspark> I guess that fight ended there

04:43 <Cepheid> As for what to do, lock all doors and windows, call police and tell them what happened?

04:43 <LibrarianofHope> OwO

04:43 <LibrarianofHope> Done that

04:43 <Stormspark> that's all you can do then, just stay where you are and don't panic and try not to draw attention

04:43 <LibrarianofHope> I have huge bolts and gates everywhere

04:43 <Thelema5> What about your dogs?

04:44 <Stormspark> as you said, it's probalby a vendetta, and it's doubtful they will just go into some random house since they probably already got the person they wanted

04:44 <Cepheid> Only recent shooting incident I am familiar with here in Canada was the gang shooting at a children's playground.  It caught attention 'cause two girls, 7 and 9, were hit.

04:44 <LibrarianofHope> I told them firmly to stay with me

04:44 <Thelema5> Your doggos will protect you

04:44 * DashedRainbows rides Thelema5 off. Night

04:44 <LibrarianofHope> I actually want them to feel safe

04:44 <Thelema5> Are they scared?

04:44 <LibrarianofHope> Confused

04:45 <Thelema5> I get that.

04:45 <Thelema5> Huddle together.  Very primal

04:45 <LibrarianofHope> They dont understand my mood, im usually jolly around them

04:46 <LibrarianofHope> I dint scream at them, just told them firmly to stay put

04:46 <Thelema5> I lived in a place like that for a while, whenever gunshot happened I just hunkered down in place, made sure the doors were locked, and waited for stuff to end

04:47 <LibrarianofHope> I feel better, i did know medium level drug guys live around

04:47 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/taichi093/status/1011492098300755968

04:47 <Thelema5> My pets were scared, but we managed to get through it together

04:47 <Cepheid> Likely they don't.  Could have been wandering through.

04:47 <Thelema5> Just be there for them, and let them support you

04:49 <Cepheid> Oh gods I just realized something.

04:49 <Cepheid> Sunday is July 1st.

04:49 <Cepheid> I am gonna be hearing fireworks all weekend.

04:49 <Stormspark> ugh

04:50 <Stormspark> at least I'm off on the 4th

04:50 <Stormspark> but yeah that's gonna suck

04:50 <DashedRainbows> People are crazy

04:50 <Cepheid> Oh right.  Also got the fourth.  Probably hear fireworks over the week too.

04:50 <Cepheid> Canadians like to use both dates as excuses to launch as many fireworks as possible.

04:51 <Stormspark> I mean i like fireworks, but don't set them off in residential areas

04:51 <Cepheid> Alas it is allowed.  Nothing I can do.

04:51 <Stormspark> there's no excuse for any fireworks in the US this year

04:51 <Cepheid> Meanwhile in Canada...

04:51 <Stormspark> well other than "who needs an excuse for fireworks"

04:52 <Cepheid> Especially with legalisation of a certain plant here in Canada.

04:52 *** Quits: PinkieShy (Brony@Pony-7elts9.159-117-185-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

04:52 * Stormspark waits for someone to make weed fireworks

04:53 <Cepheid> Best you'll probably see is carrying bags made with hemp.

04:53 <Thelema5> Cepheid, sorry... I am guilty of being a guy who sets off fireworks...

04:54 <Thelema5> I used to import them illegally from Pennsylvania, but my own state recently legalized them- so I go all out

04:54 <Stormspark> I mean, I have before

04:54 <Stormspark> but

04:54 <Stormspark> I never did it late at night or anything

04:54 <Cepheid> I don't care too much.  It is more the cats I am concerned about.

04:54 <Stormspark> they did a fire alarm test in my building today and my cats were terrified

04:54 <Cepheid> As it is I tend to be awake late at night anyway, so it is generally moot.

04:54 <Stormspark> first they were stalking the alarm

04:55 <Stormspark> then when it kept going off they all hid under my computer table

04:55 <Cepheid> There is a video on YouTube that demonstrates the effect of a tornado warning system test on a cat.

04:56 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/KlcJs3ogHoE

04:56 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

04:56 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Tornado Siren?! Cat Reacts to Emergency Warning Alert System!

04:56 <Thelema5> Hopefully my state will also legalize marijuana soon... it's a hot topic, and one which will certainly influence my vote

04:56 <Schism> Whenever there's an Air Raid siren, I get a bit concerned, especially when fog is also rolling in.

04:56 *** Joins: Firestar (AndChat3302@You.Know.Who.It.Is)

04:57 <Thelema5> Air Raid sirens are captivating, for sure

04:57 <Thelema5> Kinda what they were designed to do

04:57 <Schism> Thelema5: Oh, did you catch that Ocasio-Cortez is now up in the 14th District?

04:58 <Thelema5> Yep.  Very happy about it

04:58 <Schism> She's pretty flippin' awesome.

04:59 <Thelema5> Yep. Unfortunately her "district" is worlds away from me

04:59 * Schism nods, "You're nowhere near Queens."

05:01 <Cepheid> But yeah.  The cats don't like fireworks.  Spitfire freaks out and hides, Tizzy just looks alert and confused.

05:01 <Thelema5> Yah, I'm a hundred miles away in the mountains.  Our representitives are generally gun-toting conservatives

05:01 <Stormspark> my cats were trying to stalk the fire alarm when it first started

05:01 * Ali hates fireworks now...her poor pony ears..

05:01 <Thelema5> But this gives me hope

05:01 <Stormspark> then when it kept happening, they all hid under my table

05:02 <Cepheid> How are the sisters doing, Ali?

05:03 <Stormspark> they are probably cats by now instead of kittens

05:03 <Ali> Sunmeow and Moonmeow are doing fine Cepheid

05:03 <Stormspark> hehe those are funny names

05:03 <Ali> They're Tia and Luna dear

05:03 <Cepheid> Ah, and their adopted sister?

05:03 <Stormspark> I nkow

05:03 <Stormspark> *know

05:03 <Ali> Oh Lilly?  She's a pain in the flank

05:03 <Stormspark> but it was still funny

05:04 <Cepheid> How so?

05:04 <Ali> You rub and love on her, and she tries to rip your arms off

05:04 <Thelema5> kittens provide 24/7 fun

05:04 <Stormspark> yes but they don't stay kittens for very long

05:04 <Thelema5> yep

05:05 <Ali> Technically they're kittens for 1 year

05:05 <Cepheid> Ah, one of those kinds of cats.

05:05 <Thelema5> Before long they'll sleep for 17 hours a day an then ignore you for the rest of the time

05:05 <Cepheid> The kind that only want attention when they want it, not you.

05:06 <Stormspark> most cats are like that to an extent

05:06 <Stormspark> one of mine is an exception though

05:06 <LibrarianofHope> Seems to have chilled down

05:06 <Ali> Tia and Luna still come up to me and demand attention, also still love to show their affection with mooning

05:06 <Stormspark> he demands pets 24/7

05:06 * Stormspark is getting tired

05:06 *** Quits: Firestar (AndChat3302@You.Know.Who.It.Is) (Quit: Bye)

05:07 <Cepheid> Tizzy gets attention when she wants it.  Otherwise she claws and bites.  Also claws and bites if you ignore her or give her too much attention.

05:07 <Cepheid> Spitfire meanwhile, I'm not actually sure it is possible to give him too much attention.  And he isn't picky about it either.

05:07 <Thelema5> That's great!  My two cats sleep almost all day, and then demand attention during feeding time and a bit afterward... then they go back to sleep

05:08 <Cepheid> That is pretty normal for cats yes.

05:08 <Cepheid> Sleep for 2/3rdas their lives almost.

05:08 <Thelema5> I swear they sleep 22+ hours a day.  Is that healthy?

05:08 <Cepheid> Yes.

05:08 <Thelema5> OK

05:08 <LibrarianofHope> OwO

05:08 <Cepheid> Cats sleep an excessive amount compared to humans.

05:09 <Thelema5> I was worried

05:09 <Cepheid> They sleep to conserve energy for when they go out hunting for food.

05:09 <Stormspark> yep that's totally normal for cats

05:09 <Thelema5> Housecats don't hunt, though

05:10 <Stormspark> doesn't matter, cats aren't actually domesticated, so they retail all of their wild behaviors

05:10 <Stormspark> *retain

05:10 <Cepheid> Problem is, their food is often stationary so they conserve that energy for no reason.  Eventually I think it just reaches a breaking point and they start running around the house a lot to expend it.

05:10 <Cepheid> And what Storms park said.  Cats are not as domesticated as dogs are.

05:11 <Cepheid> I think its only been like, 5000 or so years?  Compared to 10000 or so for dogs I think.

05:11 <Thelema5> I've seen one of my cats do that, the other one weighs 25 lbs, is diabetic, and doesn't run at all

05:11 <Stormspark> dogs have been bred though, cats haven't

05:11 <Thelema5> He just begs for food all day, its sad

05:12 <Stormspark> humans just "tolerate" cats and let them live with them

05:12 <Stormspark> there hasn't been any domestication

05:12 <Stormspark> this is the wild ancestor to the cat - the same as the grey wolf is to the dog

05:12 <Stormspark> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Parc_des_Felins_Chat_de_Gordoni_28082013_2.jpg/1280px-Parc_des_Felins_Chat_de_Gordoni_28082013_2.jpg

05:13 <Schism> I'm not sure if you've ever had a cat, Stormspark.  Cats tolerate humans and allow us to think that we're their owners.

05:13 <Stormspark> haha

05:13 * Stormspark has 3 cats actually

05:13 <Stormspark> but yeah I know

05:14 <Thelema5> Once I stared workig from home, I was able to observe my cats daily behavior... which I found to be sleeping.  A LOT.

05:15 <Cepheid> That is normal.

05:15 <Thelema5> I've had many cats throughout my life. I currently have 2.  They spend their entire day sleeping.

05:15 <Thelema5> And most of their night.

05:15 <Thelema5> Lazy bums

05:15 * Schism watches a kitten climbing up their caretaker's pants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68deEAd37Zs

05:15 <LibrarianofHope> Im having plum liqour, for them nerves

05:15 <Cepheid> But yes, the domestication of cats is also wildly different from that of dogs.  They arentn quite as gungho to do our bidding or protect us.

05:15 * Stormspark is falling asleep, gonna go to bed

05:15 <Stormspark> nightnight

05:15 <LibrarianofHope> Night

05:16 <Stormspark> although you would be surprised at how loyal cats are.  Most people confuse loyalty with obedience and don't know the difference

05:16 <LibrarianofHope> I dont know

05:16 <Cepheid> I am aware yes.  We tested Spitfires attachment to me.

05:16 * Stormspark thuds

05:17 <Cepheid> My dad pretended to attack me.  Spitfire ran up and started bapping him to stop.

05:17 *** Quits: Stormspark (akai@Pony-2i7.fvo.126.65.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

05:17 <LibrarianofHope> My dogs love me but tend to  do as they please at times

05:17 <Thelema5> I've watched my cats sleep in one room for a few hours, move into another for a couple, and then move into another for the next couple.  I don't know why.  They'll then move back to the first room, and sleep some more.  Is this an enviromental thing?  Have something to do with the sun?

05:17 <Cepheid> Loyalty is a pet that will protect you, when push moves to shoving and injury.

05:18 <Cepheid> Obedience is following orders, even in stressful situations.

05:18 <LibrarianofHope> My big akita boy is a huge silly baby

05:18 <Cepheid> Most dogs tend to be loyal.  Obedience comes with specific training.

05:18 <LibrarianofHope> I just saw him move in anger once

05:18 <Thelema5> LibrarianofHope, is that the one that bit that guy's face?

05:19 <LibrarianofHope> It wasnt a bite, it was an accidental scrape

05:19 <Thelema5> Ah

05:19 <Cepheid> Cats can be loyal, and obedient, but it is less noticeable.  Either because the cat can't really do much, or it is just that aloof.

05:19 <Thelema5> LibrarianofHope, how many stitches?

05:19 <LibrarianofHope> Difference is if he had attacked on piroyse the face would have gone off

05:20 <Cepheid> But they have reportedly saved lives.  Either warning their owners to something, waking them up, or being found trying to operate things to get help.

05:20 <LibrarianofHope> I dont remember to be honest

05:20 <LibrarianofHope> But he is just friendly normally, he just wanted to say hi and lick him

05:21 <Thelema5> Hmm.  You're my friend and I love you. But if I had a dog that bit someones face and the wounds required medical attention, I would get rid of the dog

05:21 <LibrarianofHope> Nope

05:22 <LibrarianofHope> I rather get rid of me

05:22 <Thelema5> kk

05:22 <LibrarianofHope> And im stick with me

05:22 * Thelema5 is not a dog person

05:22 <LibrarianofHope> I reiterate, he didnt attack or bit

05:23 <LibrarianofHope> Seems like nitpicking, but there is quite a difference

05:23 <Thelema5> Maybe, but what would the victim say?

05:24 <LibrarianofHope> https://imgur.com/a/jF03nll

05:24 <LibrarianofHope> This is him

05:24 <LibrarianofHope> We got him to a doctor at once

05:24 <Thelema5> If anything ripped my face open so that i required stitches I'd be talking to a lawyer

05:25 <LibrarianofHope> The guy was surprinsgly chill

05:25 <Thelema5> Cute pup

05:25 <LibrarianofHope> Hes ma baby

05:25 <Thelema5> ...but still... face ripping isn't shill

05:25 <Thelema5> *chill

05:25 <LibrarianofHope> And it was just an accident

05:25 <Thelema5> Ok

05:26 <LibrarianofHope> Think what he could do if angry

05:26 <LibrarianofHope> Im getting sleepy

05:27 <LibrarianofHope> Adrenaline wore off

05:28 <Cepheid> Here is to hoping sometime this week I can get out of bed and do some work.  I appear to be sick with something causing me to sleep all the time.  I am feeling better compared to the last few days but I am still sleeping a lot.

05:28 <LibrarianofHope> You too?

05:29 <LibrarianofHope> I have weird tiredness recentku

05:30 <Cepheid> It is something in my sinuses.  Possibly weather-related.  Feels like something is pressing down on my face painfully.  Though today that was absent so I suspect it is getting better.

15:23 <Stormspark> that would be a great idea

15:25 <Stormspark> but still not as good as the best idea ever...that won't ever happen because Nintendo/Hasbro, but omg I would THROW money at them if it did

15:26 <Stormspark> I would throw money, buy collector's editions, amiibos, stuff like that.  If only.  But it won't happen

15:26 <Schism> Funny fact: did you know that the VA of TWilight Sparkle is also the voice of D.Va?  (In Germany.)

15:26 <Stormspark> nope, I don't know anything about the voice actors for other dubs

15:27 <DashedRainbows> I still remember

15:28 <Stormspark> couldn't remember if I mentioned it before

15:58 <Cepheid> So, tried to get a new psych appointment.  Three psychiatrists are retiring this week, three aren't accepting new patients and the rest are already out of business or would make me wait until 2020.

16:03 <Schism> Sweet merciful crap.

16:07 <Cepheid> Best I can manage is "a couple of months" through the Royal Ottawa Hospital and even that isn't a guarantee.

16:08 <Cepheid> In the meantime my parents have apparently been discussing alternative medicine for my mood.

16:17 <Cepheid> I do kind of wonder what kind of mind it takes though to skimp out on a confirmed appointment with a patient and then reschedule it for a year later.

22:04 <Cepheid> One thing I'll never get used to with Windows is it's lack of standardization regarding where libraries and header files go.

22:12 <Stormspark> because it doesn't really have any system for that at all, application developers have to do it themselves

22:13 <Stormspark> hmm, I keep finding new updates for Fighting is Magic, here's one from just a few months ago

22:13 * Stormspark checks it out

22:16 <Schism> Hm, level 24, game offers me a choice between a cat or a dog.

22:17 <Stormspark> I checked out the game that FIM became after Lauren helped them make new characters...and I just don't like it.  It's a well made game, and the characters are really well designed from an artistic point of view...but I can't enjoy the game because I don't like the characters

22:17 <Stormspark> so I'll stick with fighting is magic

22:18 <Stormspark> I mean, I already have a collection of Street Fighter games on my Switch, and since I don't like the characters in that game I might as well just play SF3 Third Strike because it's practically identical except for art assets

22:22 <Schism> There's a speed buff that this quest gives at various stages.  It's described in its tooltip as a rooting debuff.  That's possibly the most Bethesda thing I've seen.

22:22 <Cepheid> XD

22:22 <Cepheid> Even in MMOs, Bethesda bugs.

22:22 <Schism> Especially there.  XD

22:23 * Cepheid needs to clean up this old code.

22:25 <Stormspark> what game?

22:25 <Stormspark> ESO?

22:25 <Stormspark> That's the only MMO I can think of (and technically Bethesda didn't make it)

22:26 <Stormspark> but it's the only MMO I can think of that falls under Zenimax

22:27 <Schism> Yeah, Stormspark.

22:39 <Stormspark> keep in mind Bethesda didn't have anything to do with that

22:39 <Stormspark> Although Zenimax Online is in the same building as the Bethesda guys.  But the only real contact they had was Todd making sure the lore fit in the ES universe

23:11 <RazorSharpFang> That's a pretty neat idea, Snapai

23:12 <RazorSharpFang> It'd be like the CPM model, except it'd be free if they click.

23:12 <RazorSharpFang> But... that might encourage click-bait.

23:12 <RazorSharpFang> "Doctors hate her! Find out this one weird trick to prevent people from voting against your candidate!"

23:13 <Snapai> Couple it with a reporting tool for the ad.

23:13 <Snapai> If it's really user oriented, "This is clickbait" should be a valid objection.

23:14 <Snapai> I thought of the idea when I was thinking about how useful all the modern advertising metadata COULD be, if advertisers weren't automatically acting in bad faith.

23:15 <Snapai> THe paradigm is "We need to find people to trick into trying our product" and it should be "We need to find the people for whom using our product will confer a benefit greater than the cost" :P

23:16 <Snapai> What if every ad you actually saw was something you could afford, and would make your life significantly better (or at least more than it will cost you)

23:17 <Snapai> Ads where if you actually subscribed to every one of them, your life would be better, happier, and more lucrative. If advertisers conspired to make you better able to afford their wares.

23:28 <Cepheid> To be honest, right now my biggest concern is whether or not I want to "oust" the fact that mental health services are GARBAGE in this city.

23:28 <Cepheid> Even the Royal Ottawa declared what the psych did to me to be "deplorable"

23:31 <Schism> Contacting a paper certainly wouldn't be a bad idea.  It'd be an interesting lede.

23:50 <Cepheid> Dunno, but finding out that three psychiatrists are retiring this week alone is... interesting.

23:51 <RazorSharpFang> I could totally see your incident being spun into a "This is why socialised healthcare sucks" argument.

23:51 <RazorSharpFang> As if you can pull out from a specific incident to a general rule

23:52 <Cepheid> Apparently the reason for the sudden disappearance is that there was a loophole closed in some law, and apparently psychiatrists don't get as much money now.

23:53 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmmm...

23:55 <RazorSharpFang> Really makes you think
