00:00 * Cepheid shrugs.

00:01 <Cepheid> All I have to do now is implement saving/loading of files.

00:02 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8u7PZjDjII

00:02 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

00:03 <Cepheid> I love kittens when they're protective of their food.

00:04 <Cepheid> I can't decide if it's cute or terrifying though.

00:06 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 怒る子猫

00:27 * Filly_Nightmares huddles up on Cepheid

00:29 * Cepheid pets the nightmare.

00:29 * Filly_Nightmares soft

00:34 * Filly_Nightmares grooms Cepheid face

00:52 * Filly_Nightmares leg thumpies

01:02 <Cepheid> So what's everyone up to?

01:30 <PonyZx> How are you?

01:36 * Cepheid returns from shower. Nose as clear as a whistle, for the time being anyways.

01:37 <Cepheid> One would think that trimming all the hair down in one's nose would have the opposite effect of what it does, but not for me.

01:38 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, my breathing, nose and sinuses all function better when the nose hair is all short as possible.  When it's all nice and long, I seem to have difficulty breathing, using my nose, etc.

01:48 <Cepheid> This tool of mine is complete garbage, but it does what I need it to, so.. *Shrugs*

01:49 <Schism> The worst are those hairs which poke juuust out of the nose, so that whenever you rub your nose, they make you want to sneeze slightly.

01:49 <SunsetShimmer> Ugh, hate those

01:54 <Cepheid> I actually sneeze more from touching something inside my nose.

01:54 <Cepheid> I'm under the impression that my nose either doesn't like cotton, or that's just a natural reflex.

01:57 * PinkieShy officially hates his past.

01:57 <Cepheid> Raise of hands here, who doesn't hate their past?

01:57 <PinkieShy> I used to cuss so much and let my anger get the best of so much meltdown is the only word to describe it.. :( I wish i could go back in time and stop myself from ever doing such stuff.

01:58 <PinkieShy> Even a thought of cussing makes me want to just cry.

02:16 * DashedRainbows squees

02:39 *** Joins: Stormspark (akai@Pony-2i7.fvo.126.65.IP)

02:39 <Stormspark> yeah nose hair causes me problems too

02:39 <Stormspark> I hate it

02:39 <Stormspark> I wish it were easier to remove than it is

02:40 <Schism> Tweezers are one's friend.  o5o;

02:50 <Stormspark> that would freaking HURT

02:50 <Stormspark> omg

02:51 <Stormspark> shaving it makes my eyes water like crazy though

02:51 <Schism> Huh.  Weird, I've never found that it hurts.  X3  Sometimes it results in needing to sneeze several times, though.

03:08 * Cepheid toys with overclocking to get a bit more life out of his system

03:10 <Cepheid> Apparently, the max GPU temp for my video card is..

03:10 <Cepheid> 90C or so.  I'm running at, under full load..

03:10 <Cepheid> 69C.

03:12 <Cepheid> With the fan running at 43% load.  I... think I got some headroom.

03:14 <Cepheid> And currently the stability of the setup agrees.  I'm running 70C at a +220 core overclock and the system is still plenty stable.

03:18 <Cepheid> Aaand I found the upper clock limit.

03:27 <Schism> Cepheid: https://github.com/dylanbeattie/rockstar

03:28 <Cepheid> Heh.

03:29 <Schism> "Increment and decrement are supported by the Build {variable} up and Knock {variable} down keywords."  X3

03:29 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)

03:29 <Thelema5> Hello everypony

03:29 <Cepheid> Current clocks:  1,523MHz(+220MHz from base) for core, +250MHz for memory.  So far... stable.

03:30 <Schism> Noice.  And hiyas, Thelema5.

03:30 <Cepheid> I can't go higher than +220.  Maybe with a voltage increase, but I'm not sure I want to toy with that.

03:31 <Cepheid> Funny thing.  CPU fan is running harder than GPU fan, but CPU temperature is higher than GPU temp.

03:32 * DashedRainbows licks the Thelema5. Tastes painful

03:33 <Thelema5> Yes, DashedRainbows,,, still dealing with a gout flare up and a broken rib

03:33 <DashedRainbows> Did you get any fun drugs for the pain?

03:34 <Thelema5> Moving is difficult.  But at least I'm home now.

03:34 <Thelema5> No fun drugs.  Ibuprophen

03:34 <Cepheid> Wait, broken rib?  WHAT HAPPENED!?

03:35 <DashedRainbows> Not even tramadol. Bleh

03:35 <Thelema5> I tried climbing out of a sea boat with a gout flare up affecting my right foot.  Could not apply the needed pressure so I slipped and smashed my torso against the side og the boat

03:35 <Cepheid> ...

03:35 * Cepheid claps slowly. Then injects morphine.

03:36 <Thelema5> Right?

03:36 * Thelema5 isn't proud

03:36 <DashedRainbows> Darn dea

03:37 * Schism hugs Thelema5. :< "Gaaah."

03:37 * Schism is gentle, tho.

03:38 <DashedRainbows> Getting opiates legitimately is harder than it should be

03:38 <Thelema5> Thanksie.  The broken rib is nothing compared to the gout, More annoying than anything

03:39 * Cepheid holds a bottle of Tylenol with codeine. An opiate. Over-the-counter medicine.

03:40 <DashedRainbows> I feel like an idiot because when my doctor asked if my broken toe hurry I said no

03:40 <DashedRainbows> Not in this great country Cepheid

03:41 <DashedRainbows> Feel the pain like a man...

03:43 <Cepheid> Mind, it's a small amount.  5mg or so.

03:43 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, to be fair there is an opiate abuse epidemic claiming thousands of lives in the US, many of those addictions started with careless prescriptions

03:44 <DashedRainbows> How is the Thelema5 beside in pain?

03:44 <Cepheid> Apparently the NTSB is asking users to stop doing that challenge that involves a Drake song.

03:44 <Cepheid> Er, drivers/people*

03:44 <Thelema5> Glad to be home.  I enoyed my vacation but I am very much a homebody

03:46 * Cepheid lets Unigine Valley run for a bit.

03:46 <DashedRainbows> Thelema5: and everyone knows opiate abuse is less present further north -.-

03:47 <Cepheid> I suffered opiate dependency for a bit back in the early 2010s.

03:47 <DashedRainbows> As did i once

03:48 <Cepheid> I was taking massive quantities of said tylenol for my headaches on a daily basis, the codeine added up and created a very minor dependency.

03:48 <Cepheid> Going off of it made me a tad moody.

03:48 <DashedRainbows> It hurt bad

03:49 <DashedRainbows> Methadone

03:49 <Cepheid> I got lucky then.

03:50 <Thelema5> Sticks with the (mostly useless) ibuprofen

03:50 <DashedRainbows> Like go to the er bad and for me that's bad

03:51 *** Quits: Stormspark (akai@Pony-2i7.fvo.126.65.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

03:51 <DashedRainbows> Tramadol is pretty safe

03:51 <DashedRainbows> Not very strong butt acceptable

03:52 *** Tempo-Work is now known as Tempo

03:54 * DashedRainbows hugs Thelema5 gently

03:55 <Thelema5> Thanksie

03:56 <Thelema5> To add insult to injury I was trying to save time on my trip home from Maine today (10 hour drive) by eating lunch in the car- wound up biting my tongue and now it's all sore and swollen O.o

03:57 <Thelema5> You would think evvolution would have figured that out a long time ago

03:57 <Cepheid> I bite the interior of my mouth regularly.

03:57 <Thelema5> Ouchies

03:58 * Schism randomly offers Cepheid a fun fact: the original nVidia card used quadratic primitives, not triangular ones.

03:58 <Cepheid> Yep.

03:58 <Cepheid> Quads were a thing way back in the day.

03:58 <Cepheid> Now it's been reduced to triangles.

03:58 <Schism> Very, very briefly.

03:58 <Cepheid> Nah, I mean in general.

03:58 <Cepheid> The most frequently seen glBegin enum is "GL_QUADS" and so on.

03:59 <DashedRainbows> Thelema5: that would probably be true

04:01 <Cepheid> My blood pressure appears to have finally dropped to reasonable levels.

04:02 <DashedRainbows> More if only mine would stay stable

04:02 <DashedRainbows> Now*

04:04 <Cepheid> Mine had stability issues, as well.  But now it seems to have stabilized.  Not sure why.  Change of eating habits, perhaps?

04:04 <Cepheid> I've been eating a lot more fruit as of late.

04:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast: Music: Steely Hooves - Under My Wing [Acoustic] [ http://tinyurl.com/ycoeucj4 ]

04:05 <Schism> That could do it!

04:05 * Schism also randomly offers Cepheid some cranberry almond oatmeal cookies.

04:05 <Schism> *splorf*  The Wii has no crash handler.  That's impressive.

04:06 <Cepheid> In particular, I'm eating a lot of green apples.

04:06 <Cepheid> Schism:  That honestly does not shock me.

04:06 <Schism> Green apples, with peanut butter?

04:06 <Cepheid> It's one of the ways consoles get improved performance.

04:06 <Cepheid> They don't bother with stuff like exception handling or error handling.

04:06 <Cepheid> If something goes wrong, it just goes wrong.

04:06 <Schism> That makes AEC nice and easy, of course.

04:06 <Schism> ACE*

04:07 <Schism> Which is kind of a bad thing when you're looking at, say, multiplayer games.  Or, you know, anything that requires console security.

04:08 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, it is a side effect of the performance issue.

04:08 <Cepheid> Checking every single result is time-consuming, especially when the hardware prefers batch operations over immediate-mode stuff.

04:09 <Cepheid> You queue up a bunch of commands, *THEN* dispatch them.  If you want the error result, you have to dispatch immediately, wait for the operation to complete, and then get the result.

04:09 <Cepheid> Which introduces a lot of CPU<->GPU communication, which, surprise surprise, SLOWS EVERYTHING DOWN WHEEEE!

04:10 <Schism> This car will go much faster if we just remove the brake cables.

04:10 * Schism coughs. "But yeah. And the hardware on consoles is... not always the fastest, either." He looks at the Gamecube.

04:10 * Schism then looks at the Wii, then back at the Gamecube.

04:11 <Cepheid> Legitimately, it is better to use exception handling and error checking in a debug build.

04:12 * Schism nods, "When you're actually fixing things, yes."

04:12 <Cepheid> Outside of that?  It's better to let the application crash if something went wrong, especially since a good amount of the time, it's out of our hands.

04:12 <Cepheid> As if it's involving the GPU, the crash probably happened in the driver, or the GPU itself just said "Nope".

04:13 * DashedRainbows is ok too

04:18 * Cepheid reduces GPU core speed. System became unstable under constant load and crashed, whee.

04:22 <Thelema5> Gah.  I am in so much freaking pain right now.  Gout is the WORST.

04:23 <Cepheid> Can confirm.

04:23 <Thelema5> I feel like my foot was blasted in half with a landmine and now I'm walking around on the raw, exposed flesh and nerves

04:28 * DashedRainbows is going to be useless elsewhere. Good night

04:28 <Cepheid> Schism:  Touhou Genso Wanderer makes me feel bad about poking Chen with pointy stuff.  When you run into the Chen clones, if they're asleep, they appear as a sleeping black cat. o3o

04:29 <Schism> Well, she is a black cat shikigami.  o3o;

04:29 <Cepheid> Yes.

04:30 <Cepheid> But it still makes me feel bad to poke something that looks like it's sleeping so soundly.  Even if it'll try to kill me after waking up.

04:37 <Cepheid> Right, time to let this thing run, hmm...  30 minutes to test stability.

04:38 <Cepheid> What area code is 416..?

04:38 <Cepheid> ... Who the hell is calling me from Toronto?

04:38 <Cepheid> Let's see..

04:39 <Schism> It's just past midnight, what the heck?

04:39 <Cepheid> Left a voice mail..

04:40 <Cepheid> ....

04:40 <Cepheid> That sounded like an automated system.  Also, it happened at noon earlier today Schism.

04:41 <Cepheid> The reason why I assume it was an automated system is that A)  It had music in the background, and B)  It appeared to be either in mandarin or Japanese, I could not tell based on how it sounded.

04:41 <Schism> I can only assume that the 416 number is an anonymizer.

04:42 <Cepheid> It's a Toronto Area Code.

04:43 <Schism> Yeah, but I get anonymized calls from 519 and 226 numbers.

04:43 <Schism> Mostly duct cleaning services.

04:43 <Cepheid> True.

04:43 <Cepheid> Well, whatever.

04:44 <Schism> Hm, interesting.  So a series named "Channel Zero" brought Candle Cove to actual TV.

04:46 <Cepheid> I am legitimately not surprised.

04:46 <Schism> Nor am I.  It's a good creepypasta, to be sure.

04:46 <Cepheid> This Twitter moment is making me facepalm.

04:47 <Schism> The Toronto idiot?

04:47 <Cepheid> Apparently, the people who are raising a ruckus about confederate monuments are now suggesting that Austin, Texas be renamed, because of a namesake.

04:47 <Cepheid> Nah.  Ford doesn't make me facepalm anymore.  I know he's being an idiot.

04:47 <Schism> Oh, that.  And actually, not Toronto, I meant the Stoney Creek one.

04:48 <Cepheid> Ah, the guy who hit the woman with his truck?

04:48 <Schism> Yeah.

04:49 * Schism looks at Twitter. "Darnit, now I want a pizza."

04:49 <Cepheid> I'm admittedly a tad shocked that this kind of *YAY* is starting to happen in Canada now.

04:49 <Cepheid> I think maybe we should have closed the border to illegal American immigrants.  *Gets shot*

04:49 <Schism> I'm surprised that it's spreading outside Alberta.

04:50 <Schism> Heh, sadly, we have our fair share of homegrown jerkfaces.  I mean, just look at that professor.

04:51 <PinkieShy> Wait a second..

04:51 <PinkieShy> If the 12th doctor of Doctor who plays the voice of rabbit in the Christopher Robin movie..

04:51 <PinkieShy> Does that make Rabbit a time lord? o_o

04:51 <Schism> (And Canadians still need to keep apologizing to the rest of the world for creating Justin Bieber.)

04:52 <Cepheid> Yeah, we do have our own troublemakers.

04:53 <Cepheid> Dear Sinuses, please go [REDACTED], yours kindly, Andrew Dionne.

04:53 <PinkieShy> Cepheid is that your name?

04:54 * Thelema5 repeats that sentiment towards his broken rib and his right foot

04:54 <Cepheid> Yes.

04:54 <Cepheid> And no, I am not related to the Dionnes that just recently won a fraction of the $60,000,000 lottery the other week that also happen to live in Orleans.

04:55 <Schism> Which is a shame.

04:55 <Thelema5> Did such a thing happen?  Nows the time to build your case!

04:56 <Cepheid> It did, yes.

04:56 <Cepheid> Apparently a group of six guys bought a ticket JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM ME, and won $60,000,000.

04:56 <Thelema5> "My great, great, great uncle on my father's side is the second cousin twice removed of the Dionnes which won the money- therefore I'm entitled 10 1/3

04:57 <Thelema5> *to

04:58 <Cepheid> Heh, yeah I don't think that'll work.

04:58 <Cepheid> But yes, we've been getting the question "You related to them?" a lot lately.

04:59 <Thelema5> Heh

04:59 * Cepheid solves his sinus issue by subjecting them to the horrors of spiced tomato soup.

05:00 <Cepheid> Afterwards, I'm going to apply a nasal rinse as well.

05:00 <Cepheid> Clean out them sinuses something fierce, yo.

05:01 <Schism> Cepheid: Hmm.  I was considering making something like that.  Maybe some spicy macaroni and cheese.

05:02 <Schism> Or I could boil up some gnocchi and stir them up with tomato sauce.

05:02 <Cepheid> Basically this is just a haphazard mix of campbell's tomato soup, an unknown quantity each of Worcestershire Sauce and Tabasco Sauce, with white pepper and spicy pickling juice for jalapenos.

05:03 * Schism hmms, and nodnods. "You should get yourself some Dave's Insanity Sauce for to mix in with tomato soup."

05:04 <Cepheid> The last time I consumed this mixture, I add sriracha to it.  And that was too much.

05:04 <Cepheid> It was burning going down.

05:04 <Cepheid> Dave's Insanity Sauce would likely kill me, as well.

05:04 <Thelema5> For clearing the sinuses, I have to suggest this herbal product my company sells. It contains horseradish root, Echinacea Angustifolia root,  fresh Spilanthes herb, Elderberry, Garlic bulb, Cayenne fruit, Peppermint oil, Olive leaf, Horehound herb, Licorice root, Goldenseal root, Wild Cherry bark, fresh Osha root, Andrographis herb, Onion, and Yarrow herb

05:05 <Thelema5> https://www.villagevitality.com/products/sinus-blaster-2-oz-liquid

05:05 <Thelema5> People swear by it.

05:05 <Cepheid> Or at least land me in a hospital for breathing issues.

05:05 <Schism> That will certainly do the trick.

05:05 <Schism> I dunno, Cepheid.  As opposed to sriracha, you only add one drop of Dave's.

05:05 <Cepheid> That's a tad expensive for my tastes, Thelema5.  I'll stick to the usual treatment.  It's starting to work again, as it's starting to cool off finally.

05:05 <Cepheid> No more 90% humidity at 30+C.

05:06 <Cepheid> I think my symptoms just got worse because of the humidity, as when it cools off, I start to feel better.

05:07 <Schism> Smirnoff Vodka ad: "Made in America, but we'd be happy to talk to our ties to Russia under oath."

05:07 * Schism also nods, "Humidity does suck greatly."

05:07 * Thelema5 shuffles off to bed, grunting with every move

05:07 <Thelema5> G'night!

05:08 *** Quits: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Chicks dig it)

05:08 <Cepheid> Hum, looks like stability is best at 195/150MHz boost.  Unigine Valley's been running at 4k for the last 30 minutes and hasn't crashed.

05:08 <Schism> Try to sleep well, and hope you feel better in the morning!

05:17 * Filly_Nightmares nestles wif Schism

05:22 *** Quits: SunsetShimmer (DJPon3IsHer@DJ.Wub.Wub) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

05:25 <Schism> "Marisa blasted Dio Brando into his constituent atoms, implying that she has a bit of a dislike for him."

05:27 <PinkieShy> Is it possible to make a Dinosaur be a world in Unity?

05:27 <PinkieShy> Like super size a Dinosaur Avatar and turn it into a world.. anyone know if not i'll google it

05:27 * Schism blinks. "I... can't imagine why you couldn't make a Fantastic Voyage-themed world inside a dinosaur."

05:28 <PinkieShy> I'm thinking of making an Avatar world in Unity for VRChat.

05:28 <PinkieShy> But make the avatars be on the back of a T-REX

05:29 <Schism> A giant zombified T-Rex named Sue?

05:31 <Cepheid> It should be possible.  How it'd be done, I have no idea as I don't use VRChat.

05:32 <PinkieShy> Schism and Cepheid there is some weird worlds on VRChat.

05:32 <PinkieShy> Would you believe me if i told you there is a world with a bed on the roof with a ronald mcdonald sitting upside down spinning in place?

05:33 <Schism> I've been on Second Life before.  These things don't exactly shock.

05:33 <Cepheid> I've seen what can exist in Second Life, and I see a lot of VRChat screenshots on Twitter due to the Japanese populace being just infatuated with it 'cause of the avatar system.

05:34 <Cepheid> So yes, I would believe you.  Nor would it shock me.

05:34 <Schism> Oh wait.  From earlier: A giant zombified polka-powered T-Rex named Sue.

05:34 <PinkieShy> VRChat is like to me a huge step in the right direction for gaming worlds.. It has the idea right.

05:34 <Cepheid> Except it's nothing new.

05:35 <Cepheid> It is literally Second Life with VR control, that's pretty much it, from what I've seen.

05:35 <PinkieShy> Cepheid its worse than second life i can tell you that lol

05:36 <PinkieShy> You can make an avatar have so much effect it can kill a gpu lol

05:36 <PinkieShy> someone did one that made my screen go black for like 3 minutes.. Until the PC realized what was going on and it needed to reboot the drivers.

05:36 <Cepheid> I looked into VRChat for all of 15 minutes.

05:36 <Cepheid> It struck me as a stuttery mess to begin with, so killing a GPU doesn't surprise me.

05:42 * PinkieShy screams Run Forrest Run!

05:42 * Schism builds a castle next to Cepheid's town.

05:43 <Cepheid> Some of the avatars are pretty, though.  A lot of artists I follow on Twitter have turned their OCs into avatars, and did a good job.

05:44 <Cepheid> Mine would be somewhat troublesome to implement at this point in time.

05:44 * Cepheid also wonders what game Schism is playing. :P

05:45 <Schism> Cepheid: Heh, just referencing this insane project.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NzjasHIQUk

05:46 <Schism> Well, not that one.  There's a particular custom castle bit...

05:47 <PinkieShy> There is fluttershy avatars

05:47 <PinkieShy> and MLP avatar world

05:47 <PinkieShy> oh and ponyville.

05:50 <Cepheid> Heh.

05:51 * Cepheid implements saving for his file format in 5 minutes. o3o

05:53 *** Quits: PinkieShy (Brony@Pony-7elts9.159-117-185-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

06:02 <Cepheid> Aaaand file loading.

06:04 <Cepheid> And with that, I've done about two days work, according to one of my professors.

06:09 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Mom cat trying to hide the rest of food with imaginary sand

06:11 *** Tempo is now known as Tempo-Sleep

06:18 * Cepheid hands Schism plushes of the Prismriver Sisters.

06:18 * Schism plays a small violin.

06:30 <Cepheid> Oh, fun twist in Touhou GS.  I can play as Cirno, weilding... a Cirno Doll as a weapon.

06:33 *** Ali|AFK is now known as Ali

06:45 * Cepheid yawns and stretches Feels tired.

06:47 <Cepheid> On the upside, the sinuses cleared up and are no longer in horrible agony.

07:03 * Cepheid face plants onto the desk.

07:04 <Cepheid> I think I'm gonna go lay down for a bit.

07:08 <Schism> Rest is definitely a good idea.

07:29 <RazorSharpFang> Rest APIs are great. :P

07:30 *** Joins: R0adkill (R0adkill@Pony-roh.ceg.16.184.IP)

07:30 <R0adkill> Apparently I won't being giving up computer science completely. I just won't be majoring in it.

07:31 <R0adkill> My university says I have to have 30 hours of computer science courses to get my astrophysics degree.

07:31 <R0adkill> Fun.

07:31 <RazorSharpFang> Well, comp-sci ain't all that bad.

07:31 <RazorSharpFang> a third of it is just complexity management.

07:32 <R0adkill> I know. I just didn't wanna major in it. (I was going to major in it, but I felt unfulfilled in the field. It's just not for me, I feel like I'm not doing enough when I program.)

07:33 <RazorSharpFang> Well, programming isn't for its own sake, normally. You program to have the program DO something.

07:33 <R0adkill> I was a pretty big computer science nerd. I worked as a technician for about 2 years at my high school. I tried to get into AP comp-sci, but our school sucks, so I opted to just take other AP sciences like psychology and chem. God, I loved chem.

07:34 <R0adkill> Food Chemist is one of my back-up careers. I would love to be just some Willy Wonka mad scientist person in the future if my dream career doesn't work out, just inventing different candy by throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

07:35 <RazorSharpFang> As long as you don't create illicit candy.

07:35 <R0adkill> Illicit is a strong term...

07:35 <R0adkill> As long as nobody sees it, is it really illegal? I mean, really.

07:36 <RazorSharpFang> Well, you might get some interesting customer reviews of LSD-candy.

07:36 <R0adkill> "Ingest to get a free pet tiger."

07:36 <R0adkill> Customer reviews: "It REALLY works! My ears are bleeding!"

07:41 <R0adkill> Those are my three jobs I'd love to have. I'm really trying to get into this school so I can become a research astrophysicist. If that doesn't work out, I wanna do food chemistry or urology.

07:42 <R0adkill> If those three don't yield positive results, I'll just be some indie game developer junkie. I originally wanted to go to school to be a game dev anyway. I'm a pretty good programmer and I have a lot of great ideas.

07:44 <R0adkill> For example, I had an idea for a game the other day. Like, you're the general of an ant farm, and you start off with tiny little ants that suck, but you can open up new schools for the ants and you can make ants that practice magic and become warlocks, and then you can upon up a church on your ant farm and then you get paladin ants, and then you ca

07:44 <R0adkill> n breed like a paladin ant and a warlock ant and get a dark paladin ant. And then you can use your ant farm to fight other ant farms.

07:46 <R0adkill> For a 17-year-old kid, the one thing that I'm glad I've always kept throughout my whole life is my powerful imagination.

17:47 <Thelema5> Hello everypony

17:47 * Schism waves to Thelema5, offers some vegetarian fajitas with extra spice. "Are you doing any better than last night?"

17:52 <Thelema5> Thanksie!

17:52 <Thelema5> Meh, about the same

17:58 <Thelema5> Came home to find my vegetable garden at max production... I have far too many tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and peas

18:01 <Schism> This is good news.  The obvious thing to do is obvious.

18:01 * Schism passes Thelema5 the dill, vinegar, sugar, citric acid and assorted mason jars.

18:01 <Thelema5> :p

18:13 <Schism> Thelema5: Of course, creamed peas on toast is always a worthwhile meal.  o3o  Though you might have to overcook the peas first to get them properly mushy.

18:15 <Schism> Of course, for preserving peas, there's just water, salt, peas.  And pressure cooker.  http://www.wellpreserved.ca/canned-peas-winter-is-gonna-taste-great/

18:16 <Thelema5> Schism, that menu seems ideal

18:16 <Schism> It certainly seems to work.  X3

18:54 <Schism> With almonds, of course.

18:58 <SunsetShimmer> Almonds are literally 100% the *best* nut

19:00 <Schism> I dunno, walnuts are sometimes good.  Say, in banana bread, or covering a jammy biscuit.  o3o  

19:00 <Schism> Almonds also take a looooot of water to grow.

19:02 <SunsetShimmer> Pffft

19:02 <Schism> Really, jammy shortbreads with walnuts are great.  >>

20:12 <Thelema5> Hmm, an Alpha Black Lotus just sold for $87,000

20:13 <Schism> They just keep increasing in price.

20:14 <Thelema5> I had so many beta rares back in the 90's... gah

20:15 <Thelema5> I sold off the last of my cards three years ago to buy kayaks and paddling equipment, totally worth it to me.

20:16 <Thelema5> Huh, neat!  Marina Sirtis is going to appear on The Orville, in an episode directed by Jonathan Frakes

20:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah these Maigc The Gather folks are weird

20:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> Basically a piece of paper

20:19 <PinkieShy> I said this in another channel but i'll say it here as well..

20:20 <PinkieShy> Why would vitamin company makes the supplements to taste like the welch's fruit snacks lol

20:20 <PinkieShy> I remember growing up with Flintstone vitamins.. Those things were sour

20:20 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)

20:20 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, to get kids to eat them

20:20 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 no its not the kiddie ones lol

20:20 <PinkieShy> Its the Adult vitamins

20:21 <PinkieShy> MultiVitamin.

20:21 <Thelema5> I guess to mask the nasty flavor of 30 different minerals and vitamin compounds

20:21 <PinkieShy> I bought some since.. Really don't eat enough to get enough Vitamins most likely.

20:21 *** Joins: Stormspark (akai@Pony-2i7.fvo.126.65.IP)

20:21 * Stormspark kerflops

20:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> Eat proper fruits instead - way healthier and tastes good ;)

20:22 <Stormspark> fruits won't give you a lot of the vitamins you need

20:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> nonsense

20:22 <Stormspark> you can't live on fruits

20:22 <PinkieShy> Starlight_Glimmer what if the person can't eat the fruit? What if it makes them gag

20:23 <SunsetShimmer> Nobody says to live on fruits, geez. xD

20:23 <Thelema5> I work for a supplement company and my boss (the owner) will be the first to insist that multivitamins don't work because they are composed of synthetic isolates which are not the right forms used by the body; they are poorly absorbed and ineffective.

20:23 <Stormspark> most fruits are also very high in sugar

20:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah how about you drop them soda pops instead?

20:23 <Thelema5> Regardless, I still take a multivitamin every day

20:23 <Stormspark> yep me too

20:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because they're the issue - not fruits :P

20:24 <SunsetShimmer> Fruits are still good for ya. o3o

20:24 <Stormspark> the whole "not the right forms" thing is only true of a couple of compounds, not the majority of what's in multivitamins

20:26 <SunsetShimmer> Whole lot of statements with no proof rolling around in here - if nobody can prove the thing, don't say the thing.

20:29 <Filly_Nightmares> Eee

20:30 <PinkieShy> I can't stop Soda.. lol

20:30 <PinkieShy> Soda is better than getting addicted to Beer..

20:31 <Thelema5> I used to drink 2-3 liters of soda a day; it wasn't easy but I transitioned over to drinking water instead

20:31 * PinkieShy loves Pepsi and Coke

20:31 <Thelema5> Been 2+ years now, definately feels better

20:32 <Filly_Nightmares> Eee

20:32 * PinkieShy hands Thelema5 a Southern Sweet Tea with a slice of Lemon and a slice of Peach

20:33 <Thelema5> Thanksie! A treat now and again won't hurt.

21:07 <Thelema5> Schism, that's pretty funny.  I hope they're not too rough on that gopro, though... I don't know which model they're using but mine cost $400

21:07 <Schism> Eh, those things are pretty robust, I've heard.  And I'm sure it didn't really come to harm.

21:09 <Thelema5> Quite robust.  I've taken mine all over the place hiking and kayaking

21:16 * Filly_Nightmares gnaws on Thelema5 GoPro

21:17 <Thelema5> Silly Filly, it's locked away in my hiking backpack

21:18 * Filly_Nightmares floofs up and curls up into a sausage curl

21:20 * Thelema5 is having a sausage and pepper wedge for dinner

21:21 <PinkieShy> I've never been to a BronyCon ever and apparently Never will..

21:21 <PinkieShy> Next year they announced on twitter is the very last BronyCon :(

21:21 * Schism peers thereto, and then offers Thelema5 some flatbread in which to wrap it.

21:22 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, oh?  I'm not surprised... attendance has been flagging these past few years

21:24 * PinkieShy would have loved to been able to go to a BronyCon and meet some of yous

21:24 <Thelema5> There are still other cons out there

21:26 <Thelema5> It's really hard to make cons profitable when ticket sales decline... you wind up overprojecting your budget and losing money

21:28 <Thelema5> When I was working at that old hotel we had a lot of event promoters go broke because they didn't make their sales numbers.  They have to guess how much they'll sell and then base their budget for staff, guests, sets, room rental, vendor space, etc based on that guess.  If tickets don't sell, they're still responsible for paying for all of that- often out of pocket

22:05 <Stormspark> bronycon suffered from being the first, in a way.  When it started it was the only one and it absolutely exploded.  But it grew too fast and became unsustainable

22:05 * Schism offers Thelema5, also, a wedge of red leicester.

22:05 <Stormspark> and with smaller local cons popping up everywhere giving alternatives, fewer people go to the big one

22:06 <Stormspark> so far, all the other cons are reporting increases in attendance vs last year

22:06 <Stormspark> Galacon in Germany had a 10% increase.  Trotcon where I am had a 15-20% increase

22:11 <Thelema5> Thanksie, Schism.  Red Leicester is a bit waxy for my tastes

22:11 <Schism> Ah, alas.

22:11 * Schism also snickers at a poem about Stilton.

22:13 <Filly_Nightmares> Eee

22:14 <DashedRainbows> How is the Thelema5?

22:15 * PinkieShy hands DashedRainbows a hot fudge sundae

22:15 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, I'm okay.  You?

22:15 * Thelema5 is binge-watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt while recovering

22:17 <DashedRainbows> Yay! Now I'm less hungry. Still sad tho :(

22:18 <Schism> Oh, what'd you wind up watching on that road trip (or two) the other week?

22:19 * Filly_Nightmares meows

22:21 * DashedRainbows barks

22:27 <Thelema5> Schism, this

22:27 <Schism> Ahh, so a lot there to watch.

22:27 <Thelema5> A few seasons, yeah

22:28 <Thelema5> Quirky slice of life character-study comedy

22:44 <Thelema5> ...and it costars Carol Kane

22:44 * DashedRainbows should do something
