04:36 <Thelema5> "hey, sorry, can't really focus on work toda because my wife left me and i don't even know where I'll be living in a few days"

04:40 <Schism> I'm pretty sure he will understand, to be honest.

04:44 <Thelema5> Schism, I'm so messed up right now thank you for talking to me, I've called 2 suicide prevention lines and they were useless. I really value your time right now

04:45 <Thelema5> don't worry, I'm not going to kill myself... no pressure on you

04:45 * Schism nods, "Suicide prevention lines are... one tool among many, and not helpful for everyone. I'm glad that we're able to be here for you, to help."

04:47 *** Joins: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles)

04:48 <Schism> Actually let your boss know what's going on.

04:48 <Thelema5> Yeah, I should

04:49 <Schism> Don't just skive off: let him know what the reason is.  Hell, everyone needs a personal day or two now and then, and you're in deeper need than most, but letting the dude know will help.

04:49 <DashedRainbows> Good luck tomorrow

04:49 * Thelema5 is really messed up right now, emotionally

04:49 <Thelema5> Schism, I'll do that.

04:50 <Thelema5> I THINK he'll understand and be cool with it, I don't really know

04:51 <Schism> Better than telling him nothing and leading him to draw his own (likely incorrect) conclusions.

04:52 <Thelema5> I wish I could just work like it's any other day though

10:13 <ConfusionRift> Some coin stuff, some gaming, some DDR, some music, some informative.

10:14 * Schism boops ConfusionRift with a video about casting obsidian.

10:14 <ConfusionRift> Saw something like that. Obsidian is an absolute paaaaaain.

10:17 <Schism> Yeah, needs a ton of flux.

10:19 <ConfusionRift> The problem with flux is that it diminishes its shine and color, so it slowly stops looking like obsidian and more like tainted glass. And if you don't use enough flux, it's like melding play-doh. Stupid thick and pours to nothing. And then, you have the problem that obsidian is very brittle. So the smallest temp curve shatters it during cooling.

10:21 * Schism nodnods, "And because obsidian is comprised of an uneven mix of minerals... well."

10:21 <Schism> Any given batch of obsidian will have different points.

10:22 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, there's that too. So you can have a completely mixed bag with each iteration.

10:24 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, interesting factoid.

10:25 <ConfusionRift> I knew that US pennies were no longer primarily made of copper, but seems Canadian pennies had the same movement.

10:26 <Schism> Yup!  Though Canadian pennies aren't, anymore.

10:26 <ConfusionRift> They're now mostly steel.

10:26 <Schism> And nickels are mostly made of steel now.

10:26 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

10:26 <ConfusionRift> As for us... zinc.

10:28 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I wanna find this. In 1943, there was a release of zinc-coated steel pennies.

10:30 <ConfusionRift> I'm guessing inducing color toning?

10:30 <Schism> Copper + zinc = brass.  :3

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Aaah, right.

10:32 <ConfusionRift> Fun fact, during the war, some pennies were stamped with munitions shell plating. So they were actually brass, with brass coloration, instead of the heavy copper tone due to the coating.

11:25 <Cepheid> Cool.  On my way to school here.  Gonna get some math work done, then from 11 am to noon I have to sit in a room and answer questions.

11:26 <ConfusionRift> Nice.

11:28 <Cepheid> Followed by some lab work to do for C++.  That will take me about 15 minutes probably.  Followed by a period of math lecturing.

11:29 <Cepheid> Have fun.  I am doing TAing for that basically.

11:34 <Filly_Nightmares> Cepheid, taught!

11:34 <Cepheid> What engine?  We are using Node.js version 8.11

11:35 <Cepheid> Prof prefers LTS software over bleeding edge.  Even if Node.js 10 is introducing a breaking change.

11:37 <Cepheid> Node.js uses require() in version 8 and lower for loading modules.  Version 10 uses import() instead.

11:38 <Cepheid> As import has been the standard since...  2015?

11:39 <Cepheid> I mean breaking as it is, in theory it should just be a case of substituting 'require' with 'import.'

11:40 <Cepheid> To avoid accidental text replacement a substitution with regex is probably better.

11:43 <Filly_Nightmares> Visual Studio!

11:55 <Cepheid> So whatever JavaScript engine Edge uses probably.  Or an internal custom engine made by the Visual Studio crew.

11:55 <Cepheid> But more probably the Edge engine.

12:02 <ConfusionRift> SDK 2015. Yeah, not gonna go any further. Alas, can't.

12:08 <Cepheid> I don't think even Node.js goes past 2016.

12:08 <Cepheid> Especially as JavaScript is so widespread.

12:13 <Cepheid> All Microsoft Docs says is 2015 and beyond.  It could support higher, but there's no indication that it does, aside from 2016.

12:14 * Schism obtains a couple gil from retainers.

12:15 <Cepheid> They do insinuate that they'll keep up with JavaScript updates though, so it probably has similar support to Node.js

12:16 <Cepheid> In any case, it supports ECMAScript 6, so what Filly_Nightmares will be learning is pretty much the same as what I'm learning.  If you have any questions Filly_Nightmares, I'll try to assist you.

12:21 <Cepheid> Oh geeze I thought my first math assignment was due tomorrow evening.  It's due Sunday evening at midnight.  Even better.

12:21 <Cepheid> ...

12:21 <Cepheid> Oh my friggen gods.

12:21 <Cepheid> The "study plan" for the course, the first section.

12:22 <Cepheid> "Multiply and divide fractions" "Add and subtract fractions" "Simplify using order of operations" "Graph inequalities on number lines and write them as intervals"

12:22 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, what have I done?

12:23 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Finally got to that point in the Get Over It that things sorta... collapses.

12:23 <ConfusionRift> ...fractions...

12:23 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/AmkS_krg/status/1040548096860598272 Amakusa has an unusual geometric style I like.

12:23 * ConfusionRift spotted his weakness.

12:23 <Cepheid> Really

12:23 <Cepheid> ?

12:23 <Schism> ConfusionRift, hehe.

12:23 <Cepheid> 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8

12:24 <ConfusionRift> I cannot, can't, will not do fractions. There's a point where fractions just destroy me.

12:24 <Schism> Wait, wait wait.  Wait.  Wait.  Wait.   You can't add numbers up like that.  They'd go on to infinity.  That's like witchcraft.

12:25 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: It's not an uncommon style, but it is very nice. It gives that simple yet complex feel to it.

12:25 <Cepheid> 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

12:27 <ConfusionRift> Fractions is was brought a B- and destroyed my A+ GPA.

12:27 <Cepheid> Ah, you were one of those students.  The kind that wanted perfect marks?

12:27 <Cepheid> Or got perfect marks all the time?

12:28 <ConfusionRift> No, I was the student who tried his best, proved that did with a nice par score, and then got obliterated on the finishing line with a nailed bat to the face.

12:28 <Cepheid> Despite my supposed intelligence, knowledge and wisdom as advertised by others, I've always been middling.  Ranging anywhere from C- to B+ in elementary and middle school.  Don't recall how I did with my GED, and my college and university years, it's always been "Math gets low marks.  Subjects outside my field are middling.  Subjects in my field are consistently B+ or higher."

12:29 <ConfusionRift> I am not joking. My last class on my last degree was math.

12:30 <Cepheid> I don't think I handle schooling very well to be honest.  I spend a lot of my time studying topics relevant to me or my interests outside of classes a lot, which causes me to screw up assignments or exams a bit.

12:30 <ConfusionRift> A slew of A and A+, and this last one was a B- that almost caused me to redo it again, because my university hated anything below C+

12:30 <Cepheid> I also make a lot of mistakes because of it, but usually it's corrected quickly because whenever I discuss something relevant to me or my interests, I often study it again to refresh my memory alongside the discussion.

12:31 <Cepheid> Case in point my discussion the other day about byte alignment of memory.  Though that was more "outdated information" combined with a bit of misinformation.

12:32 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  If you applied to university with a C+ or lower, they would probably have still accepted you, as the rest of your grades were fine.  You'd at worst, have to take an entrance exam in mathematicsl.

12:32 <Cepheid> Like I said, my grades were middling at best.  College still accepted me, as did the university.

12:32 <Cepheid> I had to take an entrance exam in college, but yeah.

12:33 <ConfusionRift> Funny that. When I moved to the US, they made me take a math entrance exam because I sucked at it, and an English exam because they are idiots... and partly racist.

12:33 <Cepheid> ... Wait, racist?  What?

12:34 <Cepheid> Also I thought you always lived in the US.

12:34 <Cepheid> Guess that shows how much I actually know about you.  o3o

12:34 <ConfusionRift> Let's say something happened during my admission, and they started asking a lot of irrelevant and dumb questions simply because my main language was Spanish.

12:35 * ConfusionRift patpats Cepheid. "I rarely mention it."

12:35 <Cepheid> Oh.  You're from Mexico, then?

12:35 <ConfusionRift> ...

12:35 * ConfusionRift sighs.

12:35 <Cepheid> Or at least a country that speaks Spanish?

12:35 <ConfusionRift> Puerto Rico.

12:35 <Cepheid> Ah.

12:35 <Cepheid> Sorry, it's the closest country I know, and am familiar with here in Canada.

12:36 <Cepheid> Well, country, state, etc.

12:36 <ConfusionRift> No worries. Others have given worse guesses.

12:36 <Cepheid> Geography was actually my absolute weakest class.

12:36 <ConfusionRift> Oooh, I'm no better. :P

12:37 <ConfusionRift> Heck, took me forever to get coordinates and directionals right.

12:37 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:37 <ConfusionRift> I still kinda confuse east and west.

12:37 <Cepheid> Geometry and cartesian stuff is easy for me.  Don't ask me about longitude and latitude, though.

12:37 <Cepheid> Or where various provinces are in relation to Ontario, in Canada.

12:38 <Cepheid> The best I can do, geography-wise, is colour in a map of Canada such that no two adjacent provinces have the same colour.

12:38 <ConfusionRift> Hahahaaa!

12:38 <ConfusionRift> Yep!

12:39 <Cepheid> Which is less geography and more graph theory.

12:40 <Cepheid> That said, I don't see why anyone would complain you're from Puerto Rico, I mean, outside of having been told, I would have never guessed.  Maybe if I saw you in person or spoke with you, perhaps, but even then I would probably guess wrong, and probably wouldn't care either.  It's more just a curiousity type bit of information for me.

12:40 <Cepheid> I like to know if and where people originate from, for some reason.  Gives me a list of places to consider visiting, I guess.

12:41 <ConfusionRift> Well, P.R. is not really a good place to visit right now. It's still a hole since the hurricane.

12:41 <ConfusionRift> Recovering, but still long ways to go.

12:42 <Cepheid> Mmm, I was trying to avoid mentioning that, given it's a touchy subject for some, especially those with relatives there, and given the current political state in the US.

12:43 <ConfusionRift> Ah, no worries.

12:44 * ConfusionRift hooves up. "I's all goood."

12:44 <ConfusionRift> Can't let things like this destroy me.

12:45 <ConfusionRift> The worse thing that happened to us was mainly loss of property. And those family members are staying here with me. So they're fine.

12:46 <Cepheid> The funny thing is, I actually like being around people from Mexico or Puerto Rico more than white folks, regardless of where they're from.

12:46 <Cepheid> Most of the people I've met seem to have a slightly more jovial or "relaxed" tone of voice than I'm used to hearing from other people around me.

12:47 <Cepheid> Accent's also interesting too.  One of the easier ones for me to understand.

12:48 <Cepheid> Leaves me in a better mood and more relaxed.  I get along better with 'em.

12:48 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.

12:49 <Cepheid> Most people around here just seem so... Either formal, stick-up-their-ass, have too much energy, or are just way too loud.  Spontaneous, as well

12:49 <Cepheid> Er, sorry for the swearing.

12:50 <ConfusionRift> No worries, minor infraction and non-repeated offense.

12:50 <ConfusionRift> Well, there's also the "I'm just out of energy" thing that I have been going through lately.

12:51 <ConfusionRift> Harder for me to get out of it, unless things just... uuurgh, like at work. Hence why I avoid discussing it all together. :P

12:52 <ConfusionRift> Just gonna say two thing. "Inventory" and "Low Staff".

12:53 <ConfusionRift> But trust me, I get that. It's... kinda the same here... in its own way.

12:53 <Cepheid> ...

12:53 <Cepheid> Seriously, MathLab?

12:53 <Cepheid> Guh.

12:53 <ConfusionRift> "Yes, seriously." :P

12:53 <Cepheid> (4 * 1/2) * (1 * 4/5)

12:54 <Cepheid> So we get:  2 * 4/5.  AKA:  8/5

12:54 <Cepheid> It didn't accept 8/5.

12:54 <Cepheid> Instead, no, the answer is... 8 * 1/10

12:59 <Thelema5> *next

13:00 * ConfusionRift nods.

13:00 <Cepheid> I guess this is why practice doesn't hurt.  Later knowledge hasn't exactly made me forget, but it has made me confuse certain forms.

13:00 <ConfusionRift> I... I honestly cannot process any of it anymore.

13:01 <Cepheid> When I see an integer preceding a fraction with no symbol in between, I don't assume the whole thing is a fractional number, now.  I see it as a multiplication of a whole number by a fractional number, because of algebra.

13:01 <ConfusionRift> There's something about fractions that doesn't cave in.

13:02 <ConfusionRift> Didn't help that most math instructors and facilitators were butts.

13:02 * Cepheid brings up a quick refresher on fractions.

13:03 * Schism offers Cepheid .142857 of a pie.

13:05 <ConfusionRift> "Okay. Now we're gonna move to fractions, so pay attention." | Okay, this is the part that kills me. Let me get my notebook and note of- | (had already explained it all, and begins erasing the board) "Okay, now to percentage of certainty." | Wh-what just happened?!

13:05 <Koopz> >this will be in the test

13:10 <ConfusionRift> Bah, I'm not gonna need math for anything. | "Okay, for our next assignment, we will be programming a mortgage calculator." | ...(bleeeeep)!!!

13:11 <Cepheid> Usually in such cases, you generally have the formula given to you.

13:12 <Cepheid> FOr example, for yesterday's lab in robotics, we had to calculate KM/H of a 1:81 gear ratio, at 60 RPM.

13:12 * ConfusionRift peers Cepheid. "They didn't. I had to look for it myself."

13:12 <Cepheid> They gave us the formula to calculate it.

13:12 <Cepheid> Oh, great.

13:13 <ConfusionRift> ACTUALLY, another student found the formula for it and shared it to everyone. Goodness protect his kind heart.

13:15 <ConfusionRift> "The formula is in the book." | It isn't. | "Yes it is, look for it." | It. Isn't. | (sighs) "Hold on." (looks for it... looks for it... looks for it) "Huh... this is a problem. Might have to look for it." | (sighs)

13:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, I've had that happen a few times.

13:17 <Cepheid> Like, once or twice.

13:17 <Cepheid> Usually it's brought up with the professor.

13:17 <Cepheid> And they solve the problem for us.  'Tis their job.

13:19 <Cepheid> Gotta keep an eye on the clock.

13:20 <Cepheid> CUlearn being a Moodle implementation by the University.

13:20 <Cepheid> Er, mistell.

13:20 <Cepheid> Context:  The school uses CULearn for publishing materials.  Or, at least, it's supposed to.

13:21 <Cepheid> Many professors go "Eff that" and publish their own websites on the school network.  Unfortunately, this leads to a lot of reminders not to link to the materials.

13:21 <Cepheid> Because it's all covered under IP laws, etc, etc, etc.

13:21 <Cepheid> So they password protect it.  With some of the worst passwords I've ever seen.

13:22 <Cepheid> You can actually guess the username and password for one professor's course materials.  It's the number of the course + section letter for the username, and the password is always the season of the semester, followed by the year as a number, all lower-case, no space.

13:22 <Cepheid> So for example, the passwords are always "fall2018" or "winter2019" and so on.

13:23 <Cepheid> It's like, the worst setup I've ever seen.

13:23 <Cepheid> Another professor uses the same username for all website resources, but is slightly better about the passwords.

13:23 <Cepheid> But he still uses a pattern, so a brute force attack is straightforward.

13:24 <Cepheid> He uses a number, often 2 digits, followed by one or more words all lowercase, with no spaces.

13:25 <Cepheid> So that leaves...

13:27 <Cepheid> ... Actually, that's reasonably secure.

13:27 <Cepheid> It'd take approximately 2^42 guesses to break a 2-digit, 2-word password.

13:28 <Cepheid> Maximum, that is.  On average it's about half that when brute-forcing and using random number generation to generate stuff.

14:18 <CocoPommel> Hi

14:19 <ADragonHoarding> Hello.

14:19 * ADragonHoarding sharpens knives.

14:20 * Thelema5 waves hello

14:20 <ADragonHoarding> Morning, Thelema5.

14:20 * Schism peers at ADragonHoarding, and casts Yun Hon Recovery.

14:21 * ADragonHoarding stabs the physical manifestation of irritation.

14:23 <Schism> Oh man, random map generator is going to be very different in .17.

14:23 <ADragonHoarding> for what

14:23 <Schism> Factorio.

14:37 <Cepheid> Whee.  I am expecting this TA period to go by quietly

14:37 <ADragonHoarding> Huzzah.

14:37 <ADragonHoarding> You won't need to stab anything.

14:40 <Cepheid> Wishful thinking.  If I do have a student bothering me, it will be about OpenStack, which I have no access to, or getting Node.js to work under a VM or non-VM

14:42 <Finwe> Yurgh, JavaScript.

14:42 * Finwe hides under Schism.

14:42 <Cepheid> I am listening to students discussing COMP2402.  I wished them luck.

14:42 <Cepheid> That's not an easy course.

14:42 <Cepheid> Right, I'ma move to the room early to prepare.

14:46 <Thelema5> Good luck!

14:48 <Fn> 2402? that is close to 2501

14:48 <Fn> I bet very few will get the obscure reference in this cryptic joke

14:49 <ADragonHoarding> 2+2 = 5

14:49 <ADragonHoarding> For very high values of 2.

14:49 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:50 <Cepheid> Basically, COMP2402 is "Design, implementation and optimization of algorithms" more or less.

14:50 <Cepheid> And the assignments are a pain in the rear.

14:51 <Cepheid> Mostly because the professor tests speed and memory consumption.  Accuracy and error checking are performed, and I appreciated that(Even if they did miss some obvious stuff sometimes), but the speed and memory tests were a pain.

14:51 <Cepheid> I'll be sticking around on IRC until someone shows up, at which point I'll go silent.

14:52 <Cepheid> Assuming anyone shows up at all.

14:52 <Cepheid> There hasn't been anything that could be considered "confusing" taught in the lectures yet

14:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, looks quiet.

14:54 <Cepheid> There's like, 2 hours of TA for 2406 here, I've "started early" so to speak.  There's another 2406 TA here, 10:00-11:00, they've been doing nothing the entire time except relaxing.

14:57 <Fn> Cepheid, 2501 is an advanced AI from "Ghost in the Shell" that became self aware and escaped.

14:58 <Fn> Project 2501

14:58 <Fn> Not far in numerical order from 2402

14:58 <Cepheid> Never watched Ghost in the Shell.

14:59 <ADragonHoarding> I have only watched an episode here and there.

14:59 <Fn> You are missing out on something iconic.

14:59 <Fn> GitS isn't your typical anime.

15:00 <Fn> I'd argue that it is very un-anime and much more just a CGI movie series

15:00 <ADragonHoarding> Eh. Watching a show is an investment of time and effort.

15:00 <Fn> With a very very deep philosophical pondering in it

15:00 <ADragonHoarding> Even with excellent shows, there's only so much of that to go around.

15:01 <Fn> Yes, GitS is intentionally slow paced, with occasional awesome action moments

15:01 <Cepheid> Think it'd be unprofessional if I started playing like, TIS-100 or Shenzen I/O while waiting?

15:01 <Googie> Putting my hand up that Ghost in the Shell is amazing.

15:01 <Cepheid> I mean, I don't have much going on.

15:02 <Fn> Btw, Matrix was inspired by GitS. And Wachowski even copied a few scenes into their movie as an homage

15:03 <ADragonHoarding> for me, at least, what I saw was interesting...

15:03 <ADragonHoarding> but it wasn't enough to make me go seek it out to watch the whole thing.

15:03 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/99If3gg.gif

15:04 <ADragonHoarding> Ceph: you can probably get away with it.

15:12 <Cepheid> Not surprisingly, COMP2402's table is the busiest.

15:12 <Cepheid> REst of us are just sitting around, gaming or doing nothing of value.

15:15 * Thelema5 is watching the first Star Trek: TNG episode

15:18 <CocoPommel> Everyone says the first season is bad but has it's moments

15:19 <Thelema5> It's okay, they were gettig their footing.  Still an epic and historic series

15:19 <CocoPommel> Too bad Yar didn't stick around though. Guess she wanted more money or something, I forget the exact details

15:20 <Thelema5> She was eaten by a tar monster

15:20 <CocoPommel> Lol

15:20 <Cepheid> So, fun note.  I poked at my right hand, the bone I broke etc.

15:20 <Cepheid> Apparently the bone didn't heal quite as well as I thought it did.  Not broken or anything, just..

15:20 <Cepheid> It healed slightly out of place.

15:20 <Thelema5> Seth MacFarlane has made a new show called The Orville which is a serious love letter to TNG

15:21 <Thelema5> I love it, it's the best thing happening right now

15:21 <Thelema5> Cepheid, are you having trouble using it?

15:21 <Finwe> Messrs Thelema5 and Cepheid.

15:21 <Cepheid> Nah.  Was just curious about whether it healed right.

15:21 * Finwe doffs his headphones.

15:21 <CocoPommel> Yeah I've watched it. They recycle a lot of ideas and stories, but overall it's a fun show

15:21 <Cepheid> Far as I can tell, I got all the flexibility, and no degradation of use or function.

15:22 <Cepheid> It's just the knuckle on the specified finger is lower by about half a centimeter.

15:22 <CocoPommel> Also one of the guys on the orville is a well known child actor, can't remember from what at the moment though

15:22 <CocoPommel> The guy with the beard and orange hair

15:22 <CocoPommel> He was in something as a kid

15:23 <Thelema5> A lot of TNG cast have been involved in the orville, Jonathan Frakes has even directed a few episodes

15:23 * Finwe applies the Riker manoeuvre on Thelema5.

15:23 <CocoPommel> Cepheid I've never broken a bone but I did bust my knuckle once. I think it's called a boxer's knuckle

15:23 * Thelema5 giggles

15:24 <CocoPommel> Was the pinky knuckle. Never went to the doctor for it. It eventually healed ok though I guess

15:24 <CocoPommel> Doesn't give me problems

15:25 <Cepheid> Boxer's break.

15:25 <CocoPommel> Ah yeah

15:25 <Cepheid> It's a broken bone, still.

15:25 <CocoPommel> Really?

15:25 <Cepheid> It's where you break the fifth metacarpal before the knuckle.

15:25 <Cepheid> And yes, it's a broken bone.

15:25 <CocoPommel> I thought it was just torn ligaments

15:25 <CocoPommel> Hm ok

15:25 <Cepheid> Nope.  Broken bone.

15:25 <Finwe> It was because some injury or something that Jonathan Frakes has that forced him to use the Riker manoeuvre, right?

15:26 <Cepheid> It's supposed to get resetting.  My guess is, it doesn't matter if the bone is in a bad position or not, since the finger isn't really used a lot for anything.  Or you got lucky.

15:26 <Cepheid> And the bone just happened to reset to the initial position it was in.

15:27 <Cepheid> I hope your reason for the break was better than mine.  I punched a bench in a fit of sleep-deprived frustration.

15:27 <Cepheid> Also, to give you a comparison of how difficult COMP2402 is compared to other 2nd-year courses...

15:27 <Cepheid> I'm sitting in the TA room right now.  There is 6 TAs here, sitting at their respective empty tables

15:27 <Cepheid> The COMP2402 table has a staggering 7 students waiting for help.

15:30 <CocoPommel> Nah I punched a fridge

15:30 <CocoPommel> Saw someone at college once who had punched a brick wall lol

15:30 <Cepheid> Okay then, similarly stupid reason then. :P

15:30 <CocoPommel> Ya, it happens

15:30 <Cepheid> Were you in Ottawa at the time?  Might have been me. :P

15:31 <CocoPommel> I think it's a right of passage for the ill tempered maybe heh

15:31 <CocoPommel> Pff nah

15:31 <Cepheid> Perhaps.

15:31 <CocoPommel> It was in Texas

15:31 <Cepheid> Ah.

15:31 <Cepheid> Yeah, I punched a few walls back in college.  The hand breaking was the last time I punched something solid.

15:32 <CocoPommel> Yep. Some things just have to be learned the hard way I suppose...

15:32 <Cepheid> Yup

15:32 <Cepheid> Anyhow, I'm better these days.

15:32 <Cepheid> But it's still interesting to see the difference between the broken hand and my good hand.

15:33 <Cepheid> The knuckle/joint on my broken hand is lower by at least half a centimeter.  Doesn't feel like the joint is in the right position along my hand, either.  As if the part of the bone that broke off healed over and became like, a free-floating bone.

15:40 <Cepheid> Doesn't look like anyone's in need of help for 2406A.  Not surprised. o3o

15:41 * Cepheid looks to see if it's possible to operate his wifi card in both AP and client mode.

15:42 <Cepheid> Apparently not.

15:44 <Cepheid> Though the hardware says otherwise.

15:47 <Cepheid> I'll figure it out when I get home, where I don't have to worry about breaking stuff.

15:49 <ADragonHoarding> I need this weekend to get here so I can ignore work for two days.

15:49 <CocoPommel> Oh Cepheid, push up underneath the knuckle, like push up on the palm of your hand.

15:49 <CocoPommel> That should set it the right position

15:50 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)

15:50 <CocoPommel> At least while you're pushing. Unfortunately I didn't learn about this until mine had already just about finished healing

15:50 <Cepheid> Oh, this was a while back.

15:50 <CocoPommel> *in the right

15:50 <Cepheid> Like, 2011.

15:50 <CocoPommel> Ah ok

15:50 <Cepheid> I am only just looking at it NOW and realizing how weird it is.

15:50 <CocoPommel> Oh, yeah it's too late now lul

15:50 <CocoPommel> Ah, yeah

15:51 <Cepheid> I had it set.  The problem is that it's probably out of place because of stupidity on my part.

15:52 <Cepheid> When I got home, I broke the cast to bits.  Next day I had it cut off and they gave me *YAY* about it, had another x-ray done, and then told me that breaking the cast didn't do anything to me at all, and that they were surprised I had a full cast.

15:52 <Cepheid> They gave me a half-cast, which could be removed.  Got home, took it off, never put it back on again.

15:54 <Cepheid> The main reason for all that stupidity is that I broke my dominant hand.

15:54 <Cepheid> So I couldn't type, couldn't write, etc.  I wasn't gonna put up with that for long.  Apparently I basically re-enacted my dead uncle's high school years.  Broke his hand, same type of break, full cast.  Only he cut his cast off with a bandsaw during woodworking class.

15:58 <ADragonHoarding> And my head told my heart, "Let love grow." But my heart told my head, "This time no; This time no."

16:01 <Cepheid> Anyhow, I'm done now.

17:48 <Cepheid> Man I am almost certain I got sunburn now on my head.

17:48 <Ali> My struggles are mainly early game

17:48 * Ali grabs SunsetShimmer and noms for bacon

17:48 <Cepheid> If you want to reduce the troubles of generating a world with all the resources you need...

17:49 <Ali> I don't mind the exploring and such

17:49 <Cepheid> Check out the Resource Spawner Overhaul.  It generates resources differently.  Better spaced, more sane quantities and densities.  And finally...

17:49 <RazorSharpFang> Tbh, Vanilla Railworld is probably decent enough, but I'd turn the starting area size all the way up (larger distance from biters)

17:49 <RazorSharpFang> RSO is great tho

17:49 <Ali> But I wish the raduis of the biters is a little too close I feel?  And even worse when you're in a dessert area

17:49 <Cepheid> It generates patches of all the basic resources in then starting area, guaranteed.

17:50 <RazorSharpFang> If we're running RSO, tick the "Oil in starting area" option

17:50 <Cepheid> It also adjust biters.

17:50 <RazorSharpFang> Also, have expansion off. :3

17:50 <Cepheid> RSO assumes rail world type setup.

17:50 <Cepheid> So it changes enemy spawning to spread out the bugs.

17:51 <Ali> RazorSharpFang, Railworld auto has expansion off

17:51 <Cepheid> Yeah the world gen has bugs regarding the bugs.

17:51 <Cepheid> You can disable everything but there will still be attacks and expansions.

17:52 <Cepheid> You are better off slowing everything down such that bugs become inconsequential.

17:53 * Ali headtilts

17:53 <RazorSharpFang> I'm fairly sure that turning expansion off isn't bugged. I didn't have any expansion on my file.

17:53 <Cepheid> Ah.

17:54 <Ali> Expansion off just stops them from expanding

17:54 <Cepheid> I'm thinking of peacefulness/no bugs.

17:54 <Ali> Which is needed on railworlds cause they could just pop up in the middle of your train paths

18:37 <Cepheid> True.

18:37 <RazorSharpFang> I'd say that turning the starting area resources all the way up and the starting area size all the way up with expansion off ought to be sufficient.

19:33 <Cepheid> Right, right.  I'll wait for you to pop onto it whenever.

19:33 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, Taking evo off is probably a bad idea. It'd be better to kill the pollution and time, but leaving the base destruction

19:33 <RazorSharpFang> That way the enemies only get stronger when you take territory

19:34 * ADragonHoarding takes all the territory immediately.

19:34 <Cepheid> Ali, that okay with you?

19:34 <Ali> Cepheid, its gonna be a long wait like I said before

19:35 <Ali> I have staff coming here in an hour, then FNM after that, so it'll be quite late

19:35 <Cepheid> That's fine.

19:36 <RazorSharpFang> Speaking of, it's sleep time for me. Cyas.

19:36 <Cepheid> Laters, RazorSharpFang.

19:36 <Cepheid> But yeah, leaving evo on sounds reasonable, while disabling pollution and expansion.

19:37 <Cepheid> Maybe increase density a tad to account for lack of pollution.

19:37 <RazorSharpFang> Eh, I meant neutering the pollution modifier. You could increase the amount of pollution trees absorb or something

19:37 <Cepheid> You just want pollution there so you can see it?

19:38 <RazorSharpFang> I like my fart clouds.

19:38 <Cepheid> I'll leave pollution on then.

19:38 <Cepheid> And neuter bugs.  Basically from here on, any attacks will simply be caused by us being jerks.

19:38 <Cepheid> And not because bugs moved in.

19:38 * ADragonHoarding can be a jerk.

19:40 <Cepheid> Yes, I know.

19:40 <Cepheid> Time and pollution factors are reduced.  Basically in order to increase evo, we need to murder.  Should I increase the destroy factor?  Thinking 2x or 1.5x

19:41 <Cepheid> Otherwise, I just increase base density.

19:41 <RazorSharpFang> Nah, the default's plenty fine.

19:42 <Cepheid> Geezus cripes.

19:42 <Cepheid> One gen spawed 40+ oil fields.  Nothing else, though.

19:42 *** Quits: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

19:43 <Cepheid> And I just found one with what appears to be at least 60 oil wells in the starting area.

19:43 <Cepheid> It has everything except stone.

19:43 <Cepheid> And uranium.

19:44 <RazorSharpFang> Are you sure you're running ESO?

19:44 <Cepheid> I'm not actually.

19:44 <Cepheid> I'm debating running it.

19:44 <Cepheid> Only problem is, we all need to be using it.  Fortunately *THAT* in itself isn't difficult.

19:44 <Cepheid> But yeah, I'm gonna go turn it on.  This is silly.

19:45 <RazorSharpFang> The alternative is mashing regenerate.

19:47 <Cepheid> Part of me wants to set up an Arrakis-like world.

19:47 <Cepheid> But I'll just leave it at railworld defaults.

19:48 <Cepheid> ... Actually, wait, no.  With RSO enabled that's a bad idea.

20:08 <Cepheid> ADragonHoarding, Ornifex?

20:09 <ADragonHoarding> Ornifex.

20:09 <ADragonHoarding> I should try and finish that Dark Souls run at some point.

20:09 <ADragonHoarding> Including killing all NPCs that drop equipment.

20:10 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:11 * Cepheid reads an article about Trump and his tower and just...

20:11 *** Joins: Double (double@Pony-20c.bks.84.84.IP)

20:11 * Cepheid sighs.

20:11 <ADragonHoarding> Did it fall down?

20:12 <Cepheid> No.

20:12 <Cepheid> Apparently reports are saying that he ordered the removal of braille text in Trump Tower.

20:13 <Ali> Media is digging hard for dirt aren't they

20:13 <Cepheid> Apparently this incident occurred before the presidential election and all that.

20:13 <Cepheid> Nah, it's being brought up because of commentary in that one book.

20:13 <Cepheid> Also, removing braille's a federal crime.

20:14 * Ali flops over ADragonHoarding and Cepheid. "Why do people never leave a hurricane when told to evac..."

20:14 <ADragonHoarding> because their employers are evil.

20:14 <Cepheid> That's one possible reason.

20:14 <ADragonHoarding> or they believe they are invincible.

20:14 <Cepheid> Other possible reasons is becau-  That, yeah.

20:15 <Cepheid> Or they think the storm will weaken to a point where it's safe.

20:15 <Ali> I understand weather stations and the like

20:15 <Ali> It made landfall as a Cat 1

20:15 <Ali> Which to me was no surprise

20:15 <ADragonHoarding> is that worse or better than cat 2?

20:15 <Ali> Cat 1 is 75-90 winds

20:15 <Cepheid> Mandatory evacuations are mandatory only in that if you end up trapped, the city isn't gonna go save your butt.

20:16 <Ali> Might be a tigher window but its not a cat 4 like it was with 130mph

20:16 <Ali> Cepheid, there's people in 'dire need' of evacs right now

20:16 <Cepheid> Yes, well, tough luck for them.

20:16 <Cepheid> They were told to evacuate.

20:16 <Ali> Problem is there's only feet of water blocking them

20:16 <Ali> I know

20:16 <Ali> But the media drives on this in a way

20:17 <Cepheid> Of course it does.

20:17 <Ali> And I'm more like YOU IDIOT rather than awwwww

20:17 <Cepheid> It's the media.

20:17 <ADragonHoarding> Send them rowboats

20:17 <Ali> And since the storm is still raging, there's little to no way rescue teams can get out

20:17 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I really, really could not care even a fragment about the people trapped.

20:17 <Cepheid> It was their choice to stay.

20:17 <Ali> I know

20:17 <Cepheid> No, what I am concerned about are the pets.

20:17 * Ali nod nods

20:17 <Ali> Those poor things never got a choice

20:18 <Cepheid> People abandoning them, leaving them to fend for themselves.  Most of these pets probably can't even get out, or have food available.

20:18 * Ali is glad to be in flyover country, doesn't have shit like this to worry about.

20:19 <Cepheid> Same.  The hurricane can and will hit us here, but by the time it does, it'll just be a really bad rainstorm.

20:19 *** Quits: CocoPommel (coco@Pony-ap8dnm.res.rr.com) (Quit: https://tinyurl.com/ycampat7)

20:19 <Ali> Same

20:19 <Cepheid> Because A)  I'm inland, and B)  Nowhere near the coast it's hitting anyways.  Far to the north.

20:19 <Ali> I have more worries about a rare ice storm than a hurricane

20:19 <Cepheid> Yeah, those are the biggest issues we have to deal with.

20:19 <Ali> Flooding is rare here as well as Tornados

20:20 <Cepheid> Ice storms or high-winds storms.

20:20 <Cepheid> Flooding is only a problem for housing on the river.

20:20 <Cepheid> Much to their discovery a couple years back.

20:20 <Ali> Never heard of lowland flooding?

20:20 <Cepheid> River flooded, damaged a bunch of homes.  Very few of the people in those homes didn't have flood insurance.

20:21 <Cepheid> The issue being that the river usually doesn't flood.  In fact, that was the first I heard of it flooding since I moved to the city.

20:21 * Ali nod nods

20:21 <Ali> I mean most of those issues are extremely rare here

20:21 <Ali> No worries of forest fires, earthquakes are very very rare and weak.

20:22 * Ali will stay here and not go to California that likes to self combust every year.

20:23 <ADragonHoarding> Detroit also tends not to get these issues.

20:24 <Ali> I think in almost 35 years down here, there's only been like 2-3 tornado's within 5 miles of me.

20:24 <Ali> Anyway I've got staff coming shortly

21:57 <Cepheid> It's extremely warm in my room.  Got warm today as well.

21:58 <ADragonDreaming> that could do it

22:10 <ADragonDreaming> also, you can't use your weapon

22:12 <ADragonDreaming> thunder attack 2 and negate bind.
