02:11 <filly`Coco> Hi
03:04 * Thelema5 offers everypony Pomegranate Glazed Pistachios
03:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Story Updates - September 17th [ http://tinyurl.com/y9fqmt42 ]
03:45 * DashedRainbows licks the Thelema5
03:46 <Thelema5> me tastes of pomegranit glazed pistachios
03:46 * Thelema5 offers some
03:46 <Thelema5> How are you tonight DashedRainbows?
03:47 <DashedRainbows> so you;re feeling better?
03:47 <DashedRainbows> meh
03:47 <Thelema5> Not really, I feel crushingly lonely and heartbroken
03:47 <Thelema5> But I'm getting by
03:50 <DashedRainbows> another day and sigh
03:50 *** Quits: Arkomeda (Arkomeda@Pony-7vilu5.0lsv.jndg.0587.2a02.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
03:51 <Thelema5> Yeah
03:53 <DashedRainbows> I imagine I''ll feel like this until I get called
03:55 <DashedRainbows> the net result of the past week is that I'm now passable at c++
03:58 <Thelema5> Progress is progress
04:09 <Thelema5> Why is ordering mystery boxes taking over youtube?
04:10 <Thelema5> I mean, I get the intrigue- I subscribe to a vegan snack subscription that sends me a bunch of random stuff every month, it can be fun to be surprised... but these mystery boxes are mostly just filled with garbage
04:15 <Thelema5> My subscription service is definately worth it, my newest one had $35 worth of stuff for $20
04:17 * DashedRainbows shrugs
04:19 <Thelema5> Plus I get a months worth of snacks
04:19 <Thelema5> Fun!
04:20 <DashedRainbows> Vegan :p no cheese
04:23 <Thelema5> True, but I mean things like gourmet popcorn, chocolate peanut butter cups, energy bars, protein drinks, etc.
04:24 <Thelema5> My newest batch even has a bee-free honey made from apples
04:24 * Schism wakes up, noms on Lumindia's tomestones of creation.
04:24 <Thelema5> Which is great because honey grosses me out becaue it contains insect spit and bug parts
04:25 <Thelema5> And bugs are creepy as heck
04:25 * DashedRainbows keeps shrugging
04:28 <Thelema5> my sends DashedRainbows a mystery box filled with ???
04:28 <Schism> Thelema5: Well. Honey, I mean, uh... okay, yeah, it's gross. But it's also wonderfully antiseptic.
04:28 <Thelema5> That's true, but only ecause it's hydrophobic
04:28 <Thelema5> *because
04:28 <Schism> It's also got a lower glycemic index, and is delicious in tea.
04:28 <Schism> (And is almost always pasteurized.)
04:29 * Thelema5 brews mead. Not anti-honey at all. Just slightly grossed out by it
04:30 <DashedRainbows> Ooh, a box
04:30 <Schism> Mmm, fermented honey.
04:30 <Schism> Good, the servers aren't back y--1.8 GB patch, huh?
04:31 <DashedRainbows> Them patches
04:31 <Thelema5> Mead should always be pasturized even though honey is antiseptic- because once you dilute it it loses it's antisptic properties. This fact is still disputed in mead communities... by brewers who frequently have infected batches
04:32 <Schism> Some people really just don't learn.
04:32 * Thelema5 nods
04:32 <Schism> This is why infants should not be fed honey, because it can contain BOTULISM!
04:34 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)
04:34 <Thelema5> As one who preserves and cans garden produce frequently botulism is the main concern
04:35 <Schism> Thelema5: Can I make a small prediction here and guess that the people responsible for said tainted mead think that 'unnatural' production methods = 'evil' production methods?
04:35 <Thelema5> Pretty much, yeah.
04:35 <Schism> Excellent! Let's exile them from society and have them live in caves and jungles, without clothing or tools.
04:35 <Thelema5> PAstursing your honey destroys the natural health benefits! Yeah, like death.
04:37 <Schism> I still find it hilarious that you found yourself working for the sole and singular supplier of supplements who isn't an absurd crackpot.
04:38 <Thelema5> He has some crackpot ideas, I just ignore them
04:38 * DashedRainbows mails Thelema5 a cupcake
04:38 <Schism> Well, I guess many folks do. But that aside, he does try to keep things at least somewhat scientific.
04:39 <Thelema5> "Synthetic vitamins are fine if you have a deficiency, but you should only use whole food vitamins if you're otherwise healthly because syntheitc vitamins don't work!"
04:39 <Schism> !mail Thelema5 A cranberry-walnut muffin with vanilla icing.
04:39 <DerpyBot> Mail delivered! Thank you for using the Derpy Mail Service 6_9
04:39 <Thelema5> If they don't work, they wouldn't help in cases of deficiency
04:39 <Thelema5> Schism, thanksie!
04:39 <Schism> Thelema5, um... yeeeeeah. The body doesn't care where the molecule originated.
04:40 * Thelema5 nods, which is why he still take a multivitamin loaded with synthetic isolates
04:40 <Thelema5> Just don't tell my boss
04:40 <Schism> I don't even know his-... wait, I do. Hm. Nah, don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
04:41 <Thelema5> XD
04:41 <Schism> Tho multivitamins are kinda their own brand of woo, at times.
04:42 <Thelema5> But to be fair, most vitamin pills are produced using mass market factor proceedures with cheap, adultarated raw materials by big-pharma companies
04:42 <Thelema5> There's no regulation, so yeah
04:42 <Schism> And that's reasonable enough, but I referred more to the fact that the majority of the vitamins and minerals within aren't readily uptaken by the body before the multivitamin exits the intestines.
04:42 <Thelema5> True enough!
04:43 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5 again and deflates
04:43 * Thelema5 tastes of salt and vinegar pringles
04:44 <DashedRainbows> Meh
04:44 <DashedRainbows> Pizza ftw
04:44 * Schism offers Thelema5 a set of ruffled, non-vinegary potato crisps, with a sour cream and onion dip (which is really just onion soup mix in sour cream, of course).
04:45 <Thelema5> Although I shoul really further reduce my salt intake... my Blood Pressure driving in to my therapist in the rain tonight topped 148/99, with 96 bpm
04:45 * Schism also offers some garlic and caramel popcorn.
04:45 <Thelema5> Driving at night in the rais is one of the anxiety stressors I'm in therapy about... so kinda counter productive
04:46 <Thelema5> *rain
04:46 <Schism> Yeah... that's like six different stressers.
04:46 <Thelema5> Sorry, I have live BP and BPM data now from a new sensor
04:46 <Schism> Hehe. Kinda fun to watch, no doubt.
04:47 <Thelema5> For sure, until I have a stroke O.o
04:47 * Schism then reconsiders, and replaces the popcorn with some which has garlic, parmesan and onion powder.
04:47 <Schism> Thelema5, so the sensor itself is a stressor...
04:47 <Thelema5> Honestly, it is in a way. I'm terrified that the BP or BPM alarm will go off
04:48 * DashedRainbows analyses Thelema5 and goes to bed
04:48 <Thelema5> G'night DashedRainbows
04:48 <Thelema5> I think that alarm would only increase the problem
04:49 <Thelema5> "Holy cow, my blood pressure is at 180! No, 185! no, Gaaaah
04:50 <PinkieShy> You know..

04:51 <Thelema5> Oh, right
04:51 <PinkieShy> Schism my home is still standing and no roof leaks..
04:51 * Schism nods, "You are luckier than many."
04:51 <PinkieShy> But my brother didn't get lucky
04:51 <Schism> Mnrgh. :<
04:51 <PinkieShy> his home/rental mobile home has alum roof.. It leaked and the ceiling caved in.
04:52 <PinkieShy> Landlord told him today that he is putting them in a hotel for a few days while he works ont he mobile home to repair the ceiling and while some people comes to fix the alum roofing.
04:52 <PinkieShy> alum/metal roofing..
04:52 <PinkieShy> Whatever you want to call it..
04:53 <Thelema5> What about fixing the internal damage?

06:59 * Schism doffs his moon.
07:05 <Schism> "What... IS that metal?!" "Turns out that Sunsteel and Moonsilver don't cancel out. A mokume-gane works well with the pairing. Shouldn't, but... well, that's magic for you."

07:26 *** Quits: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
07:27 <Schism> That's mostly moonsilver...
07:28 <Schism> Though most examples of mithril could be construed as titanium.
07:29 <Schism> Or aluminium. o3o
07:29 <Finwe> Did you mean: "mistarille"?
07:29 * Finwe refuses to speak sindarin.
07:30 <Schism> Sun steel, meanwhile, could well be electrum, a metal which contains silver as a hardening agent and which is generally much easier to work with, while retaining its Shiny! properties.
07:32 <Finwe> Elektron is, in reality, amber, right?
07:32 <Finwe> Electrum being the Latin name for the same substance.
07:33 <Schism> Kiiinda. Electrum metal was used in coinage, and is a mixture of silver and gold, the latter foremost. The precise mixture varied over time, which lead to inaccuracies in coinage.
07:34 <Schism> This in turn led to different civilizations deciding upon different metals entirely.
07:36 <Finwe> Hmm, indeed, the Greek word ἤλεκτρον was used of both amber and a naturally occurring alloy of gold, silver and some trace metals.
07:38 <Schism> The similarities in colour were of course the primary reason.

17:01 <RazorSharpFang> Woo
17:03 <Ali> So I'm still bad at the starts so I even tried a peaceful mode to aid me
17:03 <Ali> Well the game puts all the enemy bases ON TOP of the resources.
17:03 <RazorSharpFang> Oof
17:05 <Ali> 5m iron was camped, over 2.5m stone camped
17:05 <Ali> Its like the game's personal troll effect
17:07 <RazorSharpFang> I'm fairly convinced that the game will attempt to replace enemy bases on top of nearby mines.

17:09 * Ali nods and flops more over RazorSharpFang
17:45 <Ali> So RazorSharpFang, just built 6 radars to scan the area in SP, the first six scans reveal about 10 bug bases
17:46 <RazorSharpFang> Oof
17:47 <Ali> What is up with this mod and putting bugs so darn close to base
17:52 <Cepheid> Change the mod settings to disable the mod's biter spawning algorithm.
17:52 <Cepheid> Then set the start area to the maximum setting in the standard game settings.
17:53 <Cepheid> You can also reduce the chance of biter spawns in the mod settings.
17:55 <Cepheid> Set the spawn chance to 0.01, and you basically remove all biters.
17:56 <Schism> Or set peaceful mode on and disable all pollution.
17:56 <Cepheid> That requires murdering bugs.
17:57 <Schism> Oh.
17:57 <Schism> Cepheid: So, the finale of Omegascape was fantastic.
17:58 <Schism> But on the other hand, ... I just... O12 was a thing.
17:58 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:00 <Ali> Cepheid, so uncheck RSO biter generation?
18:02 <RazorSharpFang> I thought RSO biter generation was MORE sparse than vanilla.
18:02 <Cepheid> It is.
18:02 <Cepheid> But it ignores the config settings on mapgen, sort of.
18:02 <Ali> Then why did I have 15 bug bases in my starting area
18:03 <Cepheid> You want to remove bugs altogether, keep the RSO Biter Generation enabled, and set the spawn chance to 0.01
18:03 <Ali> Like 3 tiles away from the basic sight square
18:03 <Ali> I don't want them removed
18:03 <Ali> I'd like them a bit further away
18:03 <Ali> I don't like them in my starting area cause you can easily aggro them before you're even at turrets

18:08 <Cepheid> Actually, even better.
18:08 <Cepheid> Mod Settings, Map, Size of generation region.
18:08 <Cepheid> Higher numbers result in a larger area devoid of bugs.
18:09 <Cepheid> ...
18:09 <Cepheid> But that's not what it does, it seems.
18:09 <Cepheid> It affects the distance scaling of resources. So..
18:09 <Cepheid> So Starting Area under Terrain Settings at max will have the best effect.
18:13 <Cepheid> Otherwise, to affect how much farther it goes out, a separate bug spawning mod would be needed.

18:48 <Schism> A downside there (I say as I return from a shower): increasing the Starting Area size will also limit the number of resources that spawn close to you.
18:48 <Schism> And some resources will not spawn at all within your Starting Area, depending upon settings and version.

20:07 <Cepheid> My mother went upstairs and was going to give the cats some treats. Normally Spitfire comes running when the bag is moved, both cats do in fact.
20:07 <Cepheid> However, Spitfire, for a good five minutes, despite shaking the bag and calling for him, did not show up.

20:09 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)
20:09 <Cepheid> He eventually did wander out after another couple of minutes, still half-asleep. He wandered out from underneath my mother's bed. A bed that's not easy to check under in any way shape or form.
20:10 <RazorSharpFang> A bit of a scare when that happens.
20:10 <Cepheid> He was probably in one of those rare cases of excessively deep sleep.
20:10 <RazorSharpFang> You start to think "What if they got out!"
20:10 <Cepheid> I actually thought that, because there was a case where he could have gotten out.
20:10 <Cepheid> And I actually went outside to try calling for him.
20:11 <Cepheid> Basically a maintenance technician came by to examine all our fire alarms, laundry equipment and a few other things. My mother herself was still half-asleep when she let him in and closed the door behind him after he left.
20:12 <Cepheid> So yeah, perfect time for a cat to sneak out. And it doesn't help that right next to the front door is a black mat that he blends into.
20:12 <Cepheid> In any case, I now owe my mother an apology, and my cat won't eat the treats or come near me because he thinks he's in trouble.

22:33 <ADragonDreaming> odd
22:34 <Cepheid> The problem with her bed is that there's no lighting, and not much space to look through. There's also a pair of rolled up carpets and rugs under it.
22:34 <Cepheid> He was likely hiding in between them, in a spot such that I couldn't see him.
22:34 <ADragonDreaming> aye
22:34 <Cepheid> Best guess is that he went under the bed to sleep, and went into one of those rare extremely deep sleeps that cats sometimes go into.
