00:06 <Cepheid> For the love of- Two scales.
00:07 <PinkieShy> Here is how bad the storm was..
00:07 <PinkieShy> Waffle house closed.

00:09 <Ali> WHAT
00:09 <Ali> They never close!
00:10 <PinkieShy> Ali well FEMA uses them as a scale too
00:10 * Ali nod nods
00:10 <PinkieShy> Green everything is fine, yellow limited menu, and red.. Resturant is closed.
00:10 <PinkieShy> They were open tonight with limited menu..
00:12 <PinkieShy> Plus curfew still in effect tonight 7pm to 7am.
00:19 * Ali nods and hugs the PinkieShy
00:23 <Cepheid> Game, why do you do this? Last hunt I have to do, I need one scale. Game gives me 6.
00:24 * Thelema5 looks in and sees a PinkieShy!
00:24 * Thelema5 hugs you
00:24 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 :) hey
00:24 * PinkieShy hugs Thelema5 so tight
00:24 <Thelema5> How are you, looks like you guys got hit hard down there
00:24 <PinkieShy> I was so scared that i would come home to find out I would be homeless :(
00:24 <PinkieShy> no trees fell though
00:25 <Thelema5> That is a scary propect, glad it worked out okay
00:25 <Thelema5> They closed waffle house, that's nuts.
00:25 <PinkieShy> Yep
00:26 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 the hotel we stayed at had memory foam mattress..
00:26 <Thelema5> Did you like it?
00:26 <PinkieShy> Which was strangely very firm.. it hurt my back lol
00:26 <Thelema5> Ouchies
00:26 <PinkieShy> Couldn't hardly sleep.. Got sleep-aid to help me sleep when i found myself couldn't sleep..
00:26 <Thelema5> I've heard they get too warm
00:26 <PinkieShy> ZZZquil to be exact.
00:26 <PinkieShy> That stuff knocked me out and helped me get the best sleep in a while lol
00:27 <Thelema5> Awesome
00:27 <PinkieShy> Anyways came home to find out.. the roof isn't leaking in our home the guy finally fixed the roof this time when he did the vents.
00:28 <Thelema5> That's great! Took a while
00:28 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 Also I think my nike shoes took one for the team majorly :P
00:29 <PinkieShy> Those shoes are damaged.. Like soaked badly.
00:29 <Thelema5> Oh no
00:29 <PinkieShy> Got home and stepped in a puddle.. No choice really and well.. yea.. soaked so much there was water in the shoe on my feet lol
00:33 <Thelema5> It's probably dry out okay
00:33 <Thelema5> It'll
00:42 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 i just did a hack thingy they said to do with the dryer.
00:42 <PinkieShy> Close the dryer door on the shoe strings..
00:42 <PinkieShy> It helped get the shoes dryer than they were :P
00:42 <Thelema5> Oh, that's clever
00:45 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 yea they said that would help not bounce around :P
00:45 <PinkieShy> I'm not going to lose a $70 shoes..
00:45 <PinkieShy> they were a gift from my brother 2016.. I like them.
00:45 <PinkieShy> I should really put me some more on layaway..
00:48 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 i learned the USPS is closed here until further noticed..
00:49 <PinkieShy> I thought the post office ran no matter what.. At least they are putting their employees life first.
00:56 <Thelema5> I've seen them shut down from time to time for emergencies
00:57 <Cepheid> Pretty sure that "Nor rain, sleet or snow" or whatever the phrase was, was before hurricanes became a regularly encountered problem. Also pretty sure it was before OSHA.

01:12 <Thelema5> I'm watching the last episode of the new season of American Vandal, I'll go once its over.
01:12 <PinkieShy> On the way back today..
01:12 <PinkieShy> I saw 4 funnels in the sky as if a tornado was about to form.
01:13 <Thelema5> Scary
01:18 <Thelema5> Half a slice of pizza and a handful of fries is enough food for the day, right?
01:22 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 i had a ton of candy while i was in Georgia..
01:22 <PinkieShy> It was nice to spend time with my mum there.. But I missed home..
01:23 <PinkieShy> She said home is where the heart is.. I told her south carolina is my home.. I love this state.
01:23 * Thelema5 nods
01:23 <PinkieShy> Born and raised in this state..
01:23 <PinkieShy> But want to move to Alaska or Ireland.
01:25 <Thelema5> Why?
01:26 <PinkieShy> Alaska for it being colder.. I love the cold :P
01:26 <PinkieShy> And Ireland for it just from what i hear.. Its peaceful and beatiful
01:26 <Thelema5> I love the cold too
01:31 * Filly_Nightmares chews on PinkieShy
01:41 <Thelema5> Guh, fries reheated in the microwave are terrible
01:45 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Thelema5 fries!

01:49 <Thelema5> This stuff is apparently awesome https://www.herdeztraditions.com/products/taqueria-street-sauce/herdez-habanero-taqueria-street-sauce/

01:54 <Cepheid> My favourite "dip" these days is a salad dressing. Renee's chunky blue cheese dressing.
01:55 * Ali boops Thelema5 off to that shower
01:56 <Thelema5> Sorry Ali, I honestly just don't have the motivation right now, I know you're right and I appreciate you're enthusiasm. But I'll get there eventually
01:56 <Thelema5> Cepheid, blue cheese dressing is my #1 food weakness
01:56 <ADragonDreaming> So, the next time you have to use the rest room
01:56 <ADragonDreaming> just take a shower immediately after.
01:57 <Thelema5> ok
01:59 <ADragonDreaming> It will be easier, because you're in there already.
02:00 <Thelema5> Makes sense
02:01 <Thelema5> Hmm, I may even be ready for some more microwaved leftover fries
02:02 <Schism> Shred cheese over them?
02:02 <Cepheid> Or i could get my whacking stick and start swinging it at you until you listen.
02:02 <Thelema5> Maybe with blue cheese this time
02:02 <Cepheid> So ADra. Lagia learned a few new moves.
02:03 <Cepheid> Probably to make up for lack of swimming.
02:07 <Thelema5> Hmm, my BP seems to keep hovering around 135/92
02:07 <Thelema5> Is that super bad? Been monitoriing it for three days now
02:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1562 [ http://tinyurl.com/ya6ajb9a ]
02:08 <Thelema5> I know 120/90 is baseline high for normal, but am I about to have a heart attack?
02:08 <Cepheid> Nah. Little high on the lower number but okay otherwise.
02:08 * Thelema5 phews
02:08 <Cepheid> I hover around 130 over 85. Which is about where I am supposed to be.
02:08 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: probably
02:09 <Thelema5> This new fitness monitor is making me super paranoid
02:10 <Cepheid> It could be far worse. A while back it wouldnhover around 150 over 100.
02:10 <ADragonDreaming> Since you're getting BP readings, Thelema5: https://www.healthline.com/health/high-blood-pressure-hypertension/blood-pressure-reading-explained
02:10 <Thelema5> My resting heart rate has been averaging about 88 bpm
02:10 <Thelema5> Thanksie!
02:11 <Thelema5> Now that I'm living alone I've been terrified that I'll have a heart attack and die
02:11 <ADragonDreaming> 120 is the high end of normal for systolic, 90 is somewhat higher than normal for diastolic
02:11 <Cepheid> Interesting. My BP monitor suggests differently.
02:12 <Thelema5> ADragonDreaming, that's what i've read as well
02:12 <Cepheid> But still. 130 over 85 is still better than 150 over 100.
02:12 <Cepheid> Might get even lower if i could cut out coffee.
02:13 <Thelema5> Yes, last time I went to a clinic I was something like 180 over 100, they were super concerned and wanted to send me for emergency care...
02:13 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, you're not anywhere near the danger zone, Thelema.
02:13 <ADragonDreaming> oh, yeah, 180/100 is very high blood pressure.
02:13 <Cepheid> Think i kight try doing that again. Coffee has been making mr particularly jittery as of late.
02:14 <Thelema5> I explained that it's because I have medical anxiety, but they didn't really accept that. Since then I seriously cut down on my sodium intake
02:14 <ADragonDreaming> I would not be surprising the 90 diastolic you're seeing is due to recent stress.
02:14 <ADragonDreaming> *surprised if
02:14 <Thelema5> I think you're right
02:15 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, I'm not sure medical anxiety would explain 180/100 all on its own. contributory, certainly
02:15 <Cepheid> 180/100 sounds like panic attack, too much coffee, or too much alcohol. Or severe issues. But if it isn't constantly steady there it's okay.
02:15 <Thelema5> To be fair I was eating instant ramen almost every day at the time
02:15 <Cepheid> That might contribute as well.
02:15 <Thelema5> And yes, I have panic attacks when being examined by doctors
02:15 <Cepheid> Lot of sodium there. Myself the problem seems to be breathing.
02:16 <Thelema5> Well I'll continue monitoring and being paranoid
02:16 <Cepheid> Normal breathing for me is extremely shallow. Causes my blood pressure to go up. Breathe more deeply and steadily, it drops like a rock.
02:17 <Thelema5> Cepheid, how does that work?
02:17 <Cepheid> Oxygen content in blood.
02:17 <Thelema5> Aaaah
02:17 <ADragonDreaming> yep
02:17 <ADragonDreaming> probably one reason asthma episodes raise heart rate
02:17 <Thelema5> Is that why my psychologist wants me to do breathing excercises?
02:18 <Thelema5> When under stress
02:18 <Cepheid> One reason yeah.
02:18 * Thelema5 nods
02:18 <Cepheid> The other is to prevent hyperventilation.
02:18 <Thelema5> Makes sense
02:19 <Cepheid> Which contributes further to stress and anxiety. Ironically it is caused by stress and anxiety. Feedback loop.
02:19 <Cepheid> Only problem is noticing that it is happening.
02:20 <Cepheid> Once you reach that point your brain is probably not gonna notice it.
02:20 * Thelema5 nods emphatically
02:21 <Cepheid> Reminds me. Gotta stop by the psychs office tomorrow. Pay some money out for forms to be filled.
02:21 <Thelema5> Hope it's not too far from home
02:21 <Cepheid> Declaring myself as disabled to OSAP. Also looking into disability pension on my parents advice and orders.
02:22 <Thelema5> Probably a smart step
02:22 <Cepheid> Given how this
02:22 <Cepheid> Er..
02:23 <Cepheid> Given how this mental health stuff is making it harder and harder to function in everyday life, it does make some sense.
02:24 * Thelema5 nods
02:26 <ADragonDreaming> I think deep breathing helps calm people down for multiple reasons. Possibly because deeper, slower breaths are also part of sleep.
02:27 <ADragonDreaming> hm. I bet breathing exercises are one way to help one sleep.
02:27 <Thelema5> Related, I spoke with my partner on the phone today, asked her if I could call her later through text. She agreed and we spoke a bit- she referred to us as "having some problems right now" (as opposed to being totally done), she affirmed that she stills loves me, and she talked about me getting the help I need. So all is not lost if can manage to get on the right treatment track, it seems
02:27 <ADragonDreaming> IRC may have cut you off at "it seems"
02:28 <Thelema5> Even if it's just a 1% chance, it means the world and gives me something to shoot for
02:28 <Thelema5> Nah, that was the end of my sentence XD
02:29 <Thelema5> Just using poor punctuation
02:30 <ADragonDreaming> ah, okay
02:30 <Cepheid> Lungs. Stop being sick. Hearing and feeling bubbles and/or webs in my chest is getting annoying and making it difficult to sleep

02:50 <Cepheid> So I unlocked the key item to make a new gun earlier today. Lack the rest of the mats to make it though. Black Parasol. An umbrella.
02:50 <Thelema5> What sort of gun is that?
02:51 <Cepheid> Monster hunting kind.
02:51 * Thelema5 nodnods
02:51 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)
02:51 <Cepheid> It doesn't have to make sense. I mean hells alive I have a cat doll gun.
02:51 <Schism> The various weapons in Monster Hunter range from the ordinary to the absolutely ridiculous, like a plush cat that launches crossbow bolts.
02:52 <Cepheid> It fires bullets from the tail. Comes with several rounds of dung shots.
02:52 <Schism> (The various pieces of armor are likewise strange, like the Wiggler Head.)
02:52 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
02:53 <Ali> Oy, nothing better than firing crap from an umbrella
02:53 <ADragonDreaming> Have you seen the Grim Cat, Schism?
02:53 <Cepheid> It meows when I fire it, pull it out, or put it away.
02:53 <Schism> Hmm, interesting. Hadn't seen that one before.
02:53 <Cepheid> Ali, the poop bullets are on the cat gun.
02:53 <Ali> Even worse
02:53 <ADragonDreaming> or the gouda axe?
02:54 <Schism> The Grim Cat is, of course, a swaxe. And the Gouda Axe is just silly.
02:54 <Ali> Not the worst cheese it could've been
02:54 <ADragonDreaming> I like the hunting horn designs overall
02:54 <Cepheid> At least it was a sharp cheese.
02:54 <ADragonDreaming> they're all instruments of some kind
02:54 <ADragonDreaming> which is because the hunting horn is an instrument.
02:55 <ADragonDreaming> So Cepheid, I have a theory
02:55 <Cepheid> Nothing like slsmming a guitar into a monsters head.
02:55 <Cepheid> Oh?
02:56 <ADragonDreaming> IT's based off that idea of the world of Monster Hunter being one set on a planet completely different from earth, far far into the future, with "humans" being the descendants of genetic super soldiers and the monsters being a remnant of biological weapons programs.
02:56 <Cepheid> Woukd explain atlal ka and the mech.
02:57 <Cepheid> Weapon designed around a monster.
02:57 <ADragonDreaming> What everyone calls "sharpness" is really just overall durability and weapon effectiveness
02:57 <ADragonDreaming> forging incorporates super-advanced molecular manipulation techniques to create incredibly strong weaponry
02:57 <Cepheid> Well yeah.
02:58 <ADragonDreaming> whetstones are a focus for that skill which is innate to every human
02:58 <ADragonDreaming> and thus why a hammer gets dull and a whestone scraped across its handle "Sharpens" it.
02:58 <Cepheid> Hence sharpening hammers and instruments.
02:58 <ADragonDreaming> yes
02:59 <ADragonDreaming> also why it works on massive greatswords when scraped 4 times across a very small part of the blade.
03:00 <Cepheid> Or the stone just cleans off various gibkets and viscera that builds up on weapons making them less effective.
03:00 <Cepheid> Giblets*
03:00 <ADragonDreaming> well, possibly. but if that were the case, why not re-usable cloth?
03:00 <ADragonDreaming> and why not roll in water?
03:02 <Cepheid> True.
03:05 <Cepheid> Or we can just assume that the world exists in some sort of absurd alternate reality. I mean, even the peole of the villages progressively start to show less and less sense, or think that what we do is insane, inexplicable, absurd or stupid.
03:05 <ADragonDreaming> yes.
03:05 <ADragonDreaming> on the other hand, if hunters didn't hunt
03:05 <ADragonDreaming> jaggis would eat everyone.
03:06 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure a kid could kill a jaggi with a plastic knife.
03:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast: Music: Intersekt - Conchorde [Drum & Bass] [ http://tinyurl.com/y76sxkpl ]
03:08 <ADragonDreaming> at which point that kid would be a hunter!
03:10 <Cepheid> The lack of any sort of sense of danger in many if the people suggests that things aren't always as bad as they seem. Especially when the guild quest giver hints at the idea that what you are about to go do is going to get messed up by an improbable series of inconveniences. Like not starting at the camp. In front of the thing making the blade sharpening noises, and other fun stuff.
03:11 <Cepheid> Or being asked to tame a gammoth to give rides to folks as a way of increasing a villages presence.
03:20 <Thelema5> Schism, I'm pretty sure I'd be screwed if I was diagnosed with diabetes... because I'm finding it very, very difficult to force myself to eat when not feeling hungry

04:19 <Schism> There is that at least...
04:20 <Schism> What about a yogurt sauce, like tzatsiki, for a veggie pita?
04:20 <Schism> tzatziki*
04:20 <Schism> With falafel in there.
04:21 <Thelema5> I do like Tazitiki, falafel is awesome. But most of my local places cut the ypgurt with mayo
04:21 <Thelema5> Fries dipped in Tazatsiki are tbes best
04:22 <Schism> They aaaaare.
04:22 * Schism puts some french fries in a pita, and smothers them with tzatziki.
04:22 <Thelema5> Match made in culinary heaven
04:24 <Thelema5> I went into town today and bought "an" order of fries to try and boost my calories... they seriously gave me enough fried to feed 6 people
04:24 <Schism> Hehe, fries are nice and inexpensive to make.
04:24 <Thelema5> They're in my fridge now after I've had two meals from them
04:25 <Schism> Next time, melt some cheese and onion gravy over them?
04:25 <Thelema5> I guess so, I would have been happy with half as much
04:25 <DashedRainbows> BBQ French fries hmm
04:25 <Thelema5> Schism, they won't do that here, it's just a local pizza place. My options are limited
04:26 <Thelema5> Old italian guy making the same recipe for 40 years
04:27 <Thelema5> You want fries? Okay, Wait 10 minutes and we'll see what you can do. Buy some pizza too
04:28 <Thelema5> I ate half the pizza slice, but the fries were moster sized
04:28 <Thelema5> *monster

04:28 <Thelema5> It'll be my lunch and dinner tomorrow. I'll be back.

04:45 <Fn> Foxes from a russian experiment
04:46 <Thelema5> FN, I saw that via youtube last night
04:46 <Thelema5> $9,000 though
04:46 <Fn> They are friendly to humans, but still foxes
04:46 <Thelema5> O.o
04:46 <Fn> That's typical for a thoroughbread animal

04:46 <Thelema5> I think we saw the same report
04:47 <Fn> Yeah, animals that are sought after are expensive
04:47 <Thelema5> That one couple had like 4 or 5
04:47 <Thelema5> So much money
04:47 <Fn> I am a bit concerned that people may overhype domesticated foxes and then not be able to keep them properly
04:47 <Thelema5> Me too
04:48 <Fn> 2 of those foxes are human-raised wild foxes
04:48 <Thelema5> They seem sweet but are definately not gods
04:48 <Fn> Other three are domesticated

04:48 <Fn> They will never be dogs
04:48 <Thelema5> Nope, they'll be domesticated foxes
04:48 <Fn> Foxes behave very differently and bond in a different ways

04:49 <Fn> Yeah. But I knew it before the video
04:49 <Thelema5> That's so cool

04:57 <Emmis> howdy
04:57 <ConfusionRift> Slightly early. I leave work at 10pm this week, and had a small stop to make before heading here. Usually, I leave at 11pm, which leads me to jump at around 12am. Well, all MST here.

05:20 <Thelema5> For the record, the office is about 15 miles from home and i can't really drive
05:21 <ConfusionRift> That is a problem. I really don't know, especially with little to no public transport and it being so far away.
05:21 <Thelema5> Maybe I can walk? How long would that take? I'm totally out of shape though
05:21 <Thelema5> There's no wal I would walk 30 miles round trip come to think of it
05:21 <Thelema5> *way
05:22 <Thelema5> I guess maybe I can try driving like... a mile or two at a time and pull over?
05:23 <Thelema5> I'm just afraid that I'll get there and not be able to get home
05:24 <ConfusionRift> Maybe, and only if you really feel safe about it. And maybe try asking for help on your way back. Someone should understand the situation and difficulties to offer an aid.

05:27 <ADragonDreaming> let me see if I can figure it out
05:27 <ADragonDreaming> do you know your route?
05:28 <ADragonDreaming> if not, google might have the answer
05:28 <Thelema5> No, I have to get to 124 Green Street Kingston, NY 12401
05:28 <Thelema5> From Stone Ridge, NY 12484
05:28 <ADragonDreaming> okay

05:30 <Thelema5> I think I'll have to drive
05:30 <ADragonDreaming> https://goo.gl/maps/jnSiyb8UnYR2
05:31 <ADragonDreaming> make the start point more specific and see what it says
05:31 <Thelema5> Hmm, thanksie! I;ll look at that
05:31 <ADragonDreaming> also, you can set it to "arrive by" a certain time

05:34 <ADragonDreaming> get singles and quarters
05:34 <Thelema5> Sorry, I'm a total hayseed hick, new to stuff like this
05:34 <ADragonDreaming> use the map to know where and when to depart from
05:34 <ADragonDreaming> and what bus to get on
05:35 <ADragonDreaming> in this case, apparently EU
05:35 <Thelema5> These times seem to work, I might be able to do this
05:35 <ADragonDreaming> when you get on the bus, tell the driver your final stop
05:35 <ADragonDreaming> apparently kingston plaza
05:35 <ADragonDreaming> bus driver will tell you if you need a transfer pass or what and what it cost
05:35 <Thelema5> What about getting home?
05:35 <ADragonDreaming> reverse the directions.

05:37 <ADragonDreaming> where did you get on? That's now your destination.
05:37 <ADragonDreaming> Where did you get off? That's now your departure point.
05:38 <Thelema5> ADragonDreaming, thanks for your help
05:38 <ADragonDreaming> from the page you linked, bus fare is either $1.50 or $2.00 per trip, so make sure you have at least $4 on hand in singles and quarters.
05:38 <ADragonDreaming> change may not be something they do, depends on the quality of the service.
05:39 <ADragonDreaming> if this works out for you, I'd seriously consider using the buses more often, given your issues with driving.
05:39 <Thelema5> I'll keep thinking about it

06:04 <CocoPommel> It's legal here anyways and I find some benefits

06:05 <CocoPommel> Everyone is different
06:05 <Thelema5> It's literally killing me and has ruined my relationships, I don't know what to do
06:05 <CocoPommel> I say that now but I'll probably get some cravings in a couple days. But I want to stop because of what u just mentioned

06:22 <Emmis> which fries do you guys like better from food joints? from food chains and stuff i guess
06:23 <Thelema5> Same here, Emmis, these fries are left over from 12:00 PM, noon, I got them from a local pizza joint
06:23 <Emmis> oh neat

06:23 <Emmis> are they the really thick ones?
06:24 <Thelema5> I'm a vegetarian and I'm pretty sure these were fried in the same oil as their meat stuff, but honestly I'm beyond caring right now

06:25 <Thelema5> Emmis, they're thick and I think they're covered in rice flower jugding my the texture

06:25 <Emmis> Neat
06:25 <Emmis> aaaaaa why you gnawing on me
06:25 * ConfusionRift pets Filly_Nightmares.

06:28 <Thelema5> Maybe I should just do that
06:28 <Thelema5> He actually encouraged it
06:28 <ADragonDreaming> probably a not bad idea
06:29 <Thelema5> Hmm
06:29 <ADragonDreaming> when does work start for you?
06:29 <Thelema5> He told me "Dude, you have have another 40 hours PTO, us it if you need to"

06:30 <ADragonDreaming> yes
06:30 <Thelema5> 6 and a half, actually
06:31 <Thelema5> I've not slept in 20 hours, not bathed in 72
06:31 <ConfusionRift> I would straighten things up before going to work. I would suggest to take that day off for that.
06:32 <Thelema5> Gah
06:32 <ADragonDreaming> take the day to get yourself in order before working again, yeah
06:32 <ConfusionRift> In the end, up to you, broh.
06:32 <Thelema5> No, you're right. I should get things together

06:34 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
06:34 <Thelema5> I should maybe skip it?
06:34 <ADragonDreaming> two questions:
06:34 <Thelema5> For the record my boss is super cool and understanding
06:34 <ADragonDreaming> will you learn anything useful you couldn't learn later?
06:34 <ADragonDreaming> will you be able to effectively contribute in your current state?
06:34 <Thelema5> Probably nothing a quick email won't solve
06:35 <Thelema5> ADragonDreaming, I hoped so... but honesty, probably not
06:35 <ADragonDreaming> third question: you haven't made a habit of missing them, right?
06:36 <Thelema5> No, never missed a day until my recent situation
06:36 <ADragonDreaming> you'll be fine.
06:36 <ConfusionRift> In that case, I would skip it. But when you do call, ask him if he can give you a sit-rep via email or text.
06:36 <ADragonDreaming> if you're taking the day, take the day
06:36 <Thelema5> I'm known for my punctuality
06:36 <ADragonDreaming> if you're gonna go to the meeting, just go to work
06:36 <ADragonDreaming> don't do things by halves
06:37 <ConfusionRift> Hence the sit-rep by communicate.
06:37 * Thelema5 nods
06:37 <Thelema5> I agree with that
06:38 <Thelema5> I guess I'll decide in the morning
06:38 <ConfusionRift> But more importantly... sleeeeeeeeep... and a shower.
06:40 <Thelema5> I can't seem to bring myself to that last one, which is super strange, as I'm usually very structured with personal sanitation
06:41 <ADragonDreaming> well, you broke that structure
06:41 <ADragonDreaming> so now you're outside of it

07:08 <ADragonDreaming> probably got posted prematurely.
07:08 <Emmis> pony OCs have changed a lot
07:09 <ADragonDreaming> mmm... nah.
07:09 <ADragonDreaming> That's a well-executed version of the some of the more out-there concepts people have been coming up with since gen 4 started.

10:31 <Cepheid> I didn't fall into another dimension, have I?
10:32 <coco> I can't sleep tonight
10:32 <Schism> Cepheid: Hm?
10:32 <Schism> coco: Egh. Something like this? http://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/2018/08/24/1788-creak/
10:32 <Cepheid> Linux Torvalds is taking time off to reflect about his attitude and use of language on the Linux mailing list.
10:33 <Cepheid> Er Linus*
10:34 <Cepheid> Point is a man known for his abrasive and relatively insulting attitude is taking a small hiatus to see about fixing that. It woukd be like Gordon Ramsey taking time off to learn anger management and how to stop swearing for five seconds.
10:35 <Schism> I know. But you can tell you're still in the right dimension, because his first preference is to look into an e-mail filter.
10:38 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:39 <Cepheid> Anyhow I slept terribly. In fact I am not entirely sure I slept at all. I feel a bit rested but I dont remember any sort of period where I wasn't conscious of my surroundings. I can't breathe very well.
10:39 <Schism> Erg. Sounds like apnea preventing REM..
10:41 <Cepheid> Whatever is wrong with my lungs it is getting worse. Still no fever.
10:43 <Schism> How's your blood sugar?
10:44 <Cepheid> Fine. I'd go check but I just ate a bowl of cereal.
10:45 <Schism> Mm. Do you feel anything sloshing about in your chest when you breathe or move about?
10:47 <Cepheid> Nope. Just a sticky, wet, thick fluid stuck to the sides of my windpipe, tightness in my chest and wheezing/bubbles when I inhale and exhale. I've been x-rayed and it is clear.
10:48 <Schism> Okay, I suggest you take a look and see if you can't pick up some guaifenesin from Shoppers.
10:48 <Schism> That's just Benylin.
10:50 <Cepheid> I was planning to buy something and take it regularly throughout the day with my asthma meds.
10:51 * Schism nods, "I suggest Benylin then, as it's an expectorant and nothing else."
10:51 <Schism> Guaifenesin is less likely to react with your regular meds.
10:54 <Cepheid> Benelyn doesn't react with my meds.
10:55 <Schism> Seems a good choice, then. Just be prepared to hack up a giant ball of snot.
10:56 <Cepheid> You mean like I've been doing for the last week? No problems there.
10:57 <Cepheid> But yeah I have the opposite of a fever. Temperature is lower than normal. I hover around 98.8. im at 97.3.
11:04 <RazorSharpFang> I've finally set up a nuclear reactor in the multiplayer Factorio server.
11:04 <RazorSharpFang> We're going nuclear!
11:05 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:05 <Cepheid> Nuclear is amazingly simple to start. Maintaining it is the problem.
11:06 <RazorSharpFang> It's kinda costly to start as well. It has scaling weirdness.
11:06 <RazorSharpFang> I'm starting with a 2x2 setup for 480MW
11:06 <Cepheid> It consumes fuel whether or not the heat being consumed is used or not.
11:06 <Schism> Cepheid: Hmm, a chill.
11:07 <Cepheid> So you either want to roughly match production with consumption, or store steam in massive batteries of fluid tanks.
11:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1338 [ http://tinyurl.com/y6ugzool ]
11:11 <RazorSharpFang> My current problem with my nuclear setup is getting enough water into the reactors.
11:20 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/kokonananya/status/1041628572975128576?s=19
11:20 <Cepheid> I've seen Tizzy do this at our front door. Just sit there pawing at the window relentlessly until we open the door and go inside.
11:21 <RazorSharpFang> Our new cat does that too at my bedroom door
11:21 <Cepheid> After which she walks away and meows. Then we find Spitfire on the black mat we leave our shoes upon. He blends into it. Really wish the parents would use another colour, so close to the front door like that.
11:22 <Cepheid> What? Do you lock your cats out of your bedroom?
11:22 <RazorSharpFang> Yes, because they never sit still when we're sleeping
11:22 <RazorSharpFang> And if we close the door with them inside they want to go outside.
11:23 <Cepheid> You are just as bad as my parents.
11:24 <Cepheid> I am the only one that leaves my bedroom door open at night. I never have any problems. The cats find their spot and lay down quietly.
11:24 <RazorSharpFang> No, you don't understand. If my door is open, the cat will paw at a different closed door.
11:24 <RazorSharpFang> Eventually, the cat will be pawing at closets
11:24 <RazorSharpFang> He wants ALL doors and closets open
11:25 <Cepheid> My parents claim when thry lrave their doors open, that the cats start annoying them. Tizzy likes to lick my dads face. Spitfire likes to hide underneath my mothers bed, and apparently starts meowing and chirruping.
11:26 <RazorSharpFang> Even things like Pantries.
11:27 <Cepheid> One could argue that behaviour is indicative of abuse from previous owners, assuming the cat was owned by someone prior to being left at the shelter.
11:27 <Cepheid> Abuse in the form of the cat being locked in rooms on regular occasions.
11:28 <RazorSharpFang> I dunno, it's just really odd behaviour.
11:29 <Cepheid> The only reason I suggest the possibility of the above is that the behaviour you're describing makes it sound like the cat dislikes closed doors because it feels it's being locked in or out from somewhere.
11:29 <Cepheid> Otherwise though, I assume he is doing well?
11:30 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, the cats are currently coexisting in the same places.
11:30 <RazorSharpFang> Hissing/growling/batting still occurs when personal space isn't respected however.
11:30 <Cepheid> That's about normal. In fact, it's better than Tizzy and Spitfire.
11:30 <Cepheid> Though even they are getting a bit better at it. Even if... weird.
11:31 <Cepheid> Spitfire did that thing again where he walks up to Tizzy, and plants his face into her fur. Not biting or anything, just... planting his face into her fur and sniffing?
11:31 <Cepheid> I know he's not biting, because Tizzy just sits there and doesn't do anything.
11:32 <Cepheid> It's like, the most confusing interaction I've ever seen. Never get to see where it goes, though, because the parents always separate the two by yelling at Spitfire to stop it.
11:32 <Cepheid> Honestly I wish my parents would stop that. Probably why they haven't acclimated to each other. They disrupt interactions between the two a lot.
11:33 <Cepheid> But as we have noted, getting my parents to listen to me is mostly a lost cause.
11:33 <Cepheid> I finally got them to buy oven mitts yesterday though.
11:35 <RazorSharpFang> That's good
11:38 <Cepheid> It basically involved threats of harassing my dad, subjecting him to the yodelling pickle, and threats of getting my mother to harass him about the oven mitts before he listened.
11:39 <RazorSharpFang> It's a good thing I moved from oil-based steam engines to nuclear power. Oil's been running very low.
11:41 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
11:42 <Cepheid> The big thing about oil though is that it is infinite. Find a large enough patch, you can just keep producing solid fuel forever. Of course, there's the space and pollution concerns.
11:43 <RazorSharpFang> Infinite, but too slow right now.
11:43 <Cepheid> Like I said, large enough patch.
11:43 <Cepheid> The original map gen can be crazy with that.
11:43 <Cepheid> I once generated a map that had something like 60 oil wells in the starting area.
11:45 <RazorSharpFang> I had the same thing once. It was both a blessing and a curse.
11:45 <Cepheid> So much pollution.
11:45 <RazorSharpFang> Infinite oil! But dang, it's painful to use.
11:46 <Schism> Setting it up so that the oil powers itself, and then whatever's left is turned into product...
11:47 <Cepheid> I'm not even sure if that's possible.
11:47 <Cepheid> As that'd be an infinite-energy situation.
11:48 <Schism> Oil is, more or less, infinite product.
11:48 <Cepheid> That doesn't mean it generates enough fluid to keep a cycle going continuously.
11:48 <Schism> Mmm.
11:49 <Cepheid> Let's see..
11:51 <Schism> You're probably right - pumpjacks take 90kW running, and on a depleted field providing 2 oil/sec, that's probably not enough...
11:51 <Cepheid> Minimum speed of oil well is 2 oil per second. That means 50 seconds runtime to get a single cycle at a refinery. That's 4.5 megawatts.
11:52 <Cepheid> Hmm.
11:52 <Cepheid> It is possible.
11:52 <Cepheid> A single unit of solid fuel has 25 megajoules of energy
11:52 <Cepheid> It'd be enough to run a pumpjack for 250 seconds or so.
11:52 <Schism> Hmm. So not just possible, but viable.
11:53 <Cepheid> And each unit of solid fuel takes 10 light fuel.
11:53 <Cepheid> Er, 10 light oil.
11:53 <Cepheid> And a refinery outputs 30 light oil in the minimal case.
11:54 <Schism> Heck, 10 light, 20 heavy, or 20 gas.
11:54 <Schism> Cracking heavy to light is preferable, of course.
11:54 <Cepheid> Too.
11:54 <Cepheid> Er, that too*
11:55 <Cepheid> Basically, the end result is that you could run a self-contained oil system.
11:55 * Schism nods, "And wind up with some excess."
11:55 <Cepheid> I should test this out, see if I'm right.
11:55 <Schism> To the map editor!
11:56 <Cepheid> Pretty much.
11:57 <RazorSharpFang> I've now configured my steam engines (Solid fuel powered) to turn on only if my nuclear reactor fails.
11:57 <RazorSharpFang> So I have backup power.
11:58 <Cepheid> Yep.
11:58 <Cepheid> That's what I do.
11:58 <RazorSharpFang> The detection is for a accumulator to discharge. If it discharges, it's assumed that the nuclear reactor is failing.
11:58 <Cepheid> But remember, fuel in the reactor is expended at a constant rate, regardless of heat usage, so keep an eye on that.
11:58 <RazorSharpFang> I have used a pre-built blueprint that keeps the reactors on only if the steam tanks go below a threshold.
12:00 <Cepheid> That's good.

12:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Australian "ABC" Radio Interviews a Brony [ http://tinyurl.com/y6ujan7c ]
12:09 <Cepheid> Yeah, it works.
12:09 <Cepheid> It's a self-contained system.
12:10 <Cepheid> Crack heavy oil to light oil. Process petroleum to solid fuel. Light oil to solid fuel.
12:10 <Cepheid> Feed into a double steam engine + boiler. Produces enough electricity to feed itself, so long as it's given a starter of fuel to work with for the boiler.
12:10 <Cepheid> And this is on a 20% yield oil well(Minimum yield.
12:11 <Schism> Sweet. And it'll scale up nicely, no doubt.
12:11 <Cepheid> Of course.
12:14 <Cepheid> Whoops. Forgot to hook up heavy->light to the light->solid fuel.
12:14 <Cepheid> ... Which means that just light oil alone from the refinery would be enough to keep the cycle going.
12:14 <Schism> Makes sense.
12:14 <Schism> But that does mean that the output is a much nicer return than you would expect.
12:15 <Cepheid> It's worth keeping this setup in mind for the future.
12:15 <Cepheid> It'd be useful for generating an endless supply of rocket fuel.
12:15 * Schism nodnods.
12:15 <Cepheid> Or even flamer fuel.
12:16 * Schism combines 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen into rocket fuel.
12:16 <Cepheid> Rocket Fuel in Factorio is nice as it speeds up vehicles.
12:17 <Cepheid> Also contains a staggering 225 megajoules of energy for burners.
12:17 <Cepheid> Mix in a single unit of U-235, and it jumps to 1.21 Gigajoules.
12:17 <Cepheid> Which would be enough to feed a pumpjack for...
12:18 <Cepheid> 74 hours roughly.
12:19 <RazorSharpFang> Well, don't forget that you gotta burn it in a boiler
12:19 <Cepheid> Yes.
12:19 <Cepheid> The boiler however, unlike nuclear reactors, only burns fuel when it needs to.
12:20 <Cepheid> Which slows down consumption considerably when all you have is a single steam engine attached to the boiler.
12:20 <Cepheid> The downside is pollution cost.
12:20 <Schism> Boilers also only have a 50% efficiency.
12:20 <Cepheid> Also, wasted efficiency of U-235.
12:20 <Cepheid> Oh, right.
12:20 <Cepheid> So half the 74 hours then.
12:20 <Cepheid> So 37 hours.
12:21 <Cepheid> That's still a hell of a lot more time than it takes to collect up 1000 oil from a 2 oil/sec well.
12:21 <Cepheid> 8 minutes, 20 seconds.
12:22 <Schism> At that point, you can perhaps start throwing on a productivity module or two.
12:22 <Cepheid> Indeed.
12:22 <Schism> Or rather, speed modules.
12:23 <Cepheid> By the time you even need a new cell for the boiler hooked up to the pumpjack, you could probably have created another 200 nuclear fuel items.
12:23 <Cepheid> So that patch of oil you no longer use? Isolate it.
12:23 <Cepheid> Then designate it for solid fuel production with a self-feeding setup.
12:24 <RazorSharpFang> Could always set up a few storage containers and enable the train stop when they're fullish
12:24 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
12:24 <Cepheid> And then distribute the solid fuel around to various sites with water, for burning into electricity.
12:25 <Schism> One speed module 3 and one efficiency module 3, and Bob's your uncle.
12:28 <Cepheid> What would that result in for oil?
12:28 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
12:29 <Schism> 3 oil/sec, at a mere 20% additional power cost.
12:30 <Cepheid> 50% increase for 20% power cost.
12:30 <Cepheid> Not bad.
12:30 <Schism> Or you could go for a 100% increase in speed for a 140% increase in power.
12:32 <Schism> Rather less efficient, there.
12:37 <Cepheid> So I discussed my breathing problems with my mother.
12:38 <Cepheid> She's thinking it's the same problem I had during my early life. The problems where I'd stop breathing and have fluid in my lugs.
12:38 <Cepheid> Er, lungs*
12:38 <Schism> Would make sense.
12:38 <Cepheid> Especially since the symptoms are extremely similar.
12:38 <Cepheid> I would stop breathing, fluid would be in my lungs to the point of coughing up lots of it. And I didn't have a fever.
12:39 <Cepheid> And before anyone asks, yes, I've been checked numerous times for stuff like cystic fibrosis and other issues that result in fluid in the lungs.
12:39 <Cepheid> Apparently I was checked for a lot of things as a child in an attempt to figure out what it was. It wasn't conventional asthma, either.
12:39 <Cepheid> They never did find out what it was.
12:40 <Cepheid> All my mother knows after all the checks is that it just up and left one day, and she was told it may reoccur later on in life.
12:41 <Cepheid> And apparently it has before, and I just don't remember it.
12:42 <Cepheid> Apparently my university has employed a number of students to go around with therapy dogs.
12:42 <Cepheid> I'd prefer therapy cats, myself.
12:45 <Cepheid> I'm guessing MHWorld's biggest issues have been completely fixed now. Game has since crept up from 40% to 51% in the last two weeks.

13:00 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/vress_shark/status/1041673038205349889 Schism, you want one.
13:00 <Schism> That is cute, yes.
13:01 <Cepheid> I need an idea or something for a toy to make for Spitfire with my lego set. The immediate item that comes to mind is a device that spins a feature around at varying speeds and in varying directions.
13:04 <Schism> He still like playing with that hexbug?
13:04 <Cepheid> Yes, but I find it hard to control. So I want to create say, a remote control bot. In that vein..
13:05 <Cepheid> I'm thinking maybe a knitted yarn ball attached to some more yarn, which is then tied onto the back of a fast, speedy bot.
13:05 <Cepheid> Then use that thing to drive around really quickly, do 180 degree turns to flip the ball around, and so on.
13:07 <Cepheid> Only issue is that I'd keep having to disassemble it, 'cause class
13:07 <Cepheid> Speaking of, tomorrow we have a building/programming competition for lego robots.
13:08 <Cepheid> I still need to figure out how to get my wifi adapter in this laptop to function as both an AP and a client at the same time. Apparently it supports this.
13:08 <Cepheid> Alternatively, I just take the old wifi adapter off my PC and plug that sucker in when I need it.

15:12 <Schism> Eh, ingrown probably. They suck.
15:13 <Cepheid> Yeah. Looks that way. Doesn't hurt to touch it, so it can't be serious.
15:14 <Cepheid> Also, thought on my lungs. Do fungal infections cause a fever reaction if in the lungs?
15:15 <Schism> I would think some sort of infection, but if it's fungal, not bacterial, I'm afraid I honestly don't know. Call up your ENT and ask if there's some way that could be looked at ahead of time?
15:15 <Cepheid> I'm getting a referral to a specialist so I'll just wait on that.

17:25 <coco> Did thelema go to work today? Don't they work from home?
17:25 <Schism> No, I don't think Thelema5 is at work.
17:26 <Schism> I'm pretty sure they're just sleeping, and may head to a psych appointment soon.
17:26 <Schism> Also, fun fact. The original peanut was a genetic sport, a strange trick of evolution which should never have happened. The fact that it's become so ubiquitous is a complete accident.
17:26 <coco> Ah
17:26 <Schism> Which is kind of how evolution works...
17:33 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure Thelema works from home, as well. They've mentioned doing work from home in the past.

18:54 <Schism> The bugs that you also didn't know were up there.
18:55 <Schism> As you might imagine, it becomes a tad concerning.
19:00 <Cepheid> SO! My sister found something unusual in a garbage bin up in Igloolik, outside the school she works at.
19:01 <Schism> Was it a piece of metal in an L shape?
19:01 <Cepheid> Nah.
19:01 <Cepheid> German Shephard-Husky mix puppy.
19:01 <Schism> Well, that at least is better than my worst expectations--
19:01 <Schism> wha
19:01 <Cepheid> Alive and well.
19:01 <Cepheid> Someone abandoned it.
19:01 <Schism> And. ... okay.
19:01 <Schism> She's already named it, hasn't she?
19:02 <Cepheid> Not as far as I know.
19:02 <Schism> Please tell me she's going to find a shelter for it.
19:02 <Cepheid> She's called the humane society though.
19:02 * Schism claps his hands together. "Thank Eris."
19:03 <Cepheid> Little dirty, but she took it in, plans to give it a bath and such. Has it separated from her dog for obvious reasons, but the thing seems to be alive and well.
19:03 <Cepheid> So my sister discovered it early enough.
19:03 <Schism> Well, that's fortunate at least.
19:04 *** coco is now known as lonely`coco
19:05 <Schism> What in the name of all that is--
19:05 <Cepheid> Possible cause of abandonment might have to do with the community.
19:05 <Cepheid> They use dogs as workers.
19:05 <Cepheid> Not pets.
19:05 <Schism> Mmm.
19:05 <Cepheid> She's in Igloolik, the arctic circle.
19:05 <Cepheid> Tundra for miles.
19:05 <Schism> I know... and pets are not viable there.
19:06 <Cepheid> Oh, they are.
19:06 <Schism> Pets for the sake of /pets/.
19:06 <Cepheid> It's just that the general mentality is to use them for work and pack animals.
19:06 <Schism> Mm....
19:06 <Cepheid> There are worse things they could be using dogs for. It's not much different from K9 units and the like, when you think about it.
19:07 <Schism> No, I get it, and I appreciate that.
19:07 <Schism> I'm sorry, I'm kind of torn in three directions at once today.
19:07 <Cepheid> Nah, it's fine.

19:08 <Schism> Freakin' laptop is being a bit of a nuisance.
19:08 <Cepheid> Hmm? What's MBAM?
19:09 <Schism> Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Old Win7 crap, Avast is up to snuff, but there might be something lurking, and I'm running the full suite of cleaners.
19:10 <Cepheid> Ah.
19:11 <Schism> Cephy: It's not a bad idea to run even on your own Windows boxen, even if you're certain they're clean.
19:11 <Schism> Windows VMs or otherwise.
19:13 <Schism> As an added advantage, I get to see what happens in real time when an old version of Firefox and a new version of MBAM get installed at the same time.
19:13 <Schism> "Pretty much a crash," but hey.
19:14 <Schism> Though I begin to wonder.
19:15 <Cepheid> Phone, could you not automatically download stuff without my consent when you are on LTE?
19:15 <Schism> But however will you keep up with all of your Twitter notifications otherwise?
19:15 <Cepheid> I'm talking updates.

19:16 <Schism> Honest, why don't you just turn data usage off?
19:17 <Cepheid> I did.

19:24 <RazorSharpFang> More or less fat though?
19:24 <RazorSharpFang> I've heard that fats are anxiety-relieving to a small degree.
19:29 <Cepheid> Less fat.
19:29 <Cepheid> Primarily lean meats and stuff.
19:29 <Cepheid> Or chickpeas. Speaking of-
19:32 <Schism> Falafel remains fantastic.
19:32 <Schism> And hummus. Freakin' HUMMUS.
19:36 <Cepheid> Falafel is what?
19:37 <Schism> Chickpeas and fava beans, ground up and rolled into balls and deep-fried with spices.
19:37 <Cepheid> But no, what I want to make is chickpea salad.
19:37 <Schism> I've had that. It's good, but... temper your expectations, I've never had a /great/ chickpea salad.
19:37 <Cepheid> Oh, no.
19:37 <Cepheid> I've had it.
19:37 <Cepheid> I like it.
19:38 <Schism> Except that one time when I've eaten chickpeas ground into little balls, a la, um... couscous, yes. Chickpea couscous is actually quite palatable.

20:07 <Schism|Adagio> I haaaaaave things like 4 GB of City of Heroes on here.
20:08 <Schism|Adagio> And I'm not sure if I want to get rid of that.
20:11 <Cepheid> Just how old *IS* that machine?
20:11 <Cepheid> *It turns out Schism even has PSO Blue Burst on it.*
20:11 <Schism> Cepheid, are you at all familiar with the Ship of Theseus argument?
20:13 <Schism> I keep replacing one part or another of a box, and some parts remain until they're no longer useful, at which point they're replaced, and the entire box is inevitably different from how it started -- but because there's a chain of parts, it remains the original box nonetheless?
20:14 <Cepheid> I have never dealt with that argument, no.
20:14 <Schism> I have files from 1991.
20:14 <Cepheid> Okay then.
20:14 <Cepheid> That's before even I had a computer.
20:14 <Schism> So yes, this is a 27-year-old box, by at least one metric.
20:15 <Schism> By another, that's a ridiculous idea, but it amuses me to think that this box is older than most of the people on this channel.
20:17 <Schism> Cepheid: Simplified, the Theseus thing goes, "Okay, I have an axe. At one point, the blade wears out, so I replace it. Still the same axe, right? Then the handle wears out, so I replace /that/. Still the same axe... /right?/"
20:17 <Cepheid> It's not older than me.
20:17 <Cepheid> Depends on how you want to look at it.
20:17 <Schism> It's a cutesy little philosophical exercise.
20:18 <Cepheid> Atomically, it's not the same object.
20:18 <Schism> And it does have its bases when it comes to the human body, too - remember, we tend to replace every atom in our body, once every 7 to 20 years.
20:18 <Cepheid> Functionally however, it is the same.
20:20 <Cepheid> From my perspective, from a functional sense, the items are the same. From an atomic sense or material sense, they are not.
20:20 <Schism> One way or another, it's still a pretty good axe.
20:20 <Cepheid> A copper blade is not the same as a blade made of iron.
20:21 <Cepheid> But yeah, it's still a pretty good axe. Provided the materials are of the same level of quality.
20:21 <Cepheid> I mean, you wouldn't want to replace the wooden handle with a handle that's full of knots and holes.

20:55 <Ali> There's about a 1k field and a 700 field but its close to some bug bases, along with a 5M iron
20:55 <Schism> Myerf. Sounds like you'll need to do the old encapsulation route.
20:56 <Ali> Hmmm?
20:56 <Ali> I just can't make my pollution cloud to much larger due to annoying the bugs
20:57 <Schism> Move deeper into alien territory, creating walls and turrets just ahead of yourself, then breaking the old walls.
20:58 <Schism> Eventually, get enough walls that the aliens can only move in one direction - into a turret fort - and destroy their bases.
