00:43 <Schism> In Santa Clara, California, a group of thieves stole several thousand dollars worth of GPS tracking devices. They then neglected to turn them off.
00:44 <Cepheid> I heard about that.
00:44 <ADragonDreaming> well done, Ceph!
00:44 <ADragonDreaming> also, that's a big oops
00:44 <Thelema5> I imagine they were apprehended in no time
00:44 <Schism> Hours.
00:45 <Schism> The warehouse in which the thieves stored the stolen material was also host to a variety of drugs and similar paraphernalia.
00:46 <Thelema5> I heard the town name and immediately thought of a certain 1987's vampire film... but that was Santa Carla
00:46 <Schism> The company responsible for the tracking suite was very glad for the theft, as it illustrated how good their GPS trackers really were. XD

09:41 * ConfusionRift keeps checking coin rolls and such, and something doesn't add up.
09:45 <ConfusionRift> So someone is selling a roll of dollar coins, 25 coins to be exact. That is $25 in dollar coins that have not seen a hand and much less a cash register, for $40. Expected. Then there's this one selling a plastic roll of 40 uncirculated nickels for $12. Guy is losing $8.
09:47 <Finwe> o3o
09:57 <RazorSharpFang> Well, that's presuming that the nickles are authentic
10:00 <Finwe> How is he losing?
10:01 <Finwe> What's the on-spot price for brand-new ¢5 coins?
10:01 <RazorSharpFang> 5c
10:01 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, probably those at the bottom of the roll are probably beat unrecognizable. Actually, I was reminded of something a bank teller told me. A guy brought a box full of pre-filled coin rolls to the bank. Customer just wanted to just deposit them and get them all in bills instead. Teller moves the box to the back, opens one of the rolls, and a long lead bar comes out of it.
10:02 <Schism> Pfffsh.
10:02 <ConfusionRift> Basically putting a coin on each side of the roll, and filling the middle with these lead bars to try to scam some cash out. Well, that didn't work.
10:03 <Finwe> RazorSharpFang: So if you sell $2 worth of them for $12, how do you lose $8?
10:03 <ConfusionRift> Wait...
10:03 <ConfusionRift> Wrooong math. Yeah, you're right.
10:04 <ConfusionRift> That's not $20, that's $2.

10:06 <ConfusionRift> A 1961 nickel is still worth 5 cents.
10:07 <Finwe> It's not always that simple.

10:08 <Finwe> It was ruled to be tax evasion to pay an employee's salary in $50 coins in some obscure case IRS vs. the company and the employee.
10:08 * Finwe boops the SunsetShimmer.
10:09 <Finwe> The metal in coins is usually worth more than the face value of the coin.

10:09 * Filly_Nightmares skrees at SunsetShimmer for snugglies!
10:09 * SunsetShimmer snugglies!
10:10 <ConfusionRift> Anything older than 1960 is slightly more valuable, by like 5-10 cents depending. Now, 1942-1945 nickels are 35% silver, so... yeah. Those have something to look for.
10:10 <Finwe> The $50 coin, although usable as legal tender for the face value, is actually worth about $1,200, if you sell it as gold.
10:10 <ConfusionRift> Indeed.
10:11 <ConfusionRift> However, if you have a similar issue with the coinage from around here, you will notice that the smelting value is much less than their face value.
10:14 <ConfusionRift> For example, pennies, which seem to be the case with other countries as well and their smaller coin denominations and pennies. Anything older than 1982 had 75% copper, with the exception of 1943, which was steel and zinc coated. Anything newer than that is now 75% zinc.
10:15 * Filly_Nightmares burrows into SunsetShimmer warms
10:15 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe, Canadian pennies were 98% copper. Hence why I have being keeping the few I have found.
10:17 <ConfusionRift> Decided to gingerly check my coin bank, to see if there was anything interesting. Found two silver dimes. If I hadn't noticed I would have thrown them with the other dimes and used it up.
10:19 * Filly_Nightmares nips at ConfusionRift for food
10:19 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I don't have... well, I do have a brownie.
10:20 <Finwe> In India, there was detected a mysterious shortage of the smallest coins. It turned out that they were trafficked to Pakistan, melted and cast into razor blades and sold back to India.
10:21 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, a lot of places moved from copper, nickel, aluminum, and such for stainless steel.
10:22 <ConfusionRift> Still, that... hehehe.
10:23 <RazorSharpFang> I find coins that are worth less than their materials to be odd
10:25 <ConfusionRift> Well, back then, their worth was determined by the materials used. Nowadays, it's by their tender and face value. But yeah, it's bothersome.

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> Huzzah!
15:33 <CocoPommel> I think you might have a bad doctor
15:33 <Cepheid> Possible. But it is the only doctor I can get right now.
15:33 <CocoPommel> Like, honestly, you shouldn't really be taking antibiotics unless you're dying...
15:34 <CocoPommel> Like if you're life depends on it
15:34 <Cepheid> The downside to Canada's healthcare system. With a majority of doctors and such going to the US after graduation, it leaves existing doctors overburdened.
15:34 <CocoPommel> Your*
15:35 <Cepheid> I have had this damned infection for a month and a half. It gets worse. It gets better. It gets even worse. It gets slightly better. It gets even worse..
15:35 <CocoPommel> But yeah otherwise you're just killing off the good stuff your body really needs
15:35 <Cepheid> Oh fer f- ... I'm gonna put my phone away.
15:36 <CocoPommel> Well yeah sterilizing your entire body is just going to leave you super vulnerable to whatever your immune system comes into contact with
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> Which is why antibiotics are given in a limited regimen
15:37 <CocoPommel> You should be building up your immune system. Not stressing it further with antibiotics.
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> however, antibiotics are a tried and proven method of treatment
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> for a wide range of illnesses
15:37 <CocoPommel> Yeah, like I said, they're good when you actually really need them
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> and in this case, his doctor has decided he really needs them.
15:38 <CocoPommel> You have to also remember, doctors get paid more, the more prescriptions they write.
15:38 <CocoPommel> So if course they'll be inclined to
15:38 <CocoPommel> *of
15:39 <ADragonHoarding> Which is a very broad statement that assumes the worst of every doctor, and this doctor in particular.
15:39 <CocoPommel> If a doctor ever recommends you take a vitamin, you found a good doctor.
15:39 <ADragonHoarding> Are you aware of a history of bad behavior by this doctor?
15:39 <CocoPommel> Yeah.
15:40 <ADragonHoarding> Really.
15:40 <ADragonHoarding> You know the doctor's name.
15:40 <CocoPommel> Nah, but they're Cepheid's doctor. Enough said
15:40 <ADragonHoarding> And are aware of bad bheavior by that doctor in particular.
15:40 <ADragonHoarding> ...
15:40 <ADragonHoarding> No, that's not enough said.
15:41 <CocoPommel> It is really, though. When was the last time they were healthy?
15:41 <Cepheid> Both of you cut it out please. Or bring it somewhere less public. I don't need not want the stress of knowing an argument over antibiotics is going on because of me.
15:41 <CocoPommel> It they had a good doctor, I would assume they wouldn't be suffering from constant ailments
15:41 <CocoPommel> Ok
15:42 <CocoPommel> I wasn't arguing. Idk why some people don't like allowing a conversation to take place without thinking it's an argument. I think it's a generational thing...
15:42 <CocoPommel> Anyways

17:02 <ADragonDreaming> oh?
17:02 <Cepheid> Fortnite being the first game they will allow.
17:03 <Cepheid> That being the game that caused a lot of controversy regarding their stance.
17:04 <Cepheid> Basically if you linked a switch account with your Epic Games account or vice-versa, you were locked out of using the account on the respective opposing console. There was no such issue with XBox One.
17:05 <ADragonDreaming> Wasn't fortnite the game where crossplay was accidentally enabled for a while?
17:05 <Cepheid> Lead to a lot of rage because purchases were associated with the Epic Games account.
17:05 <Cepheid> No that was that car-soccer game.
17:05 <ADragonDreaming> rocket league?
17:05 <Cepheid> I forget it's name.
17:05 <Cepheid> Yeah that.
17:06 <Cepheid> It was enabled by accident but it wasn't supposed to be allowed. Sony shut it down fast.
17:06 <Cepheid> They argued it was because the logistics was too much to get involved. And other lame excuses.

19:46 <ADragonHoarding> Was said in reference to Cepheid's statement
19:46 <Ali> Ah, must be too far back for the autolog to show.
19:47 <ADragonHoarding> yes, 20 mins.
19:47 <ADragonHoarding> "CepheidSomething is going down in the mall. Two ambulances, a fire truck and two police cruisers."
19:49 <Ali> Could've been someone had a medical emergency is all
19:49 <ADragonHoarding> Yep.
19:49 <ADragonHoarding> Could also be a shoggoth.
19:51 <Cepheid> Yep.
19:52 <Cepheid> Given fire department showed up, it was likely more a case that one of the restaurants caught fire.
19:52 <Cepheid> Only the fire department can disable alarms and all that.
19:52 <Ali> Cepheid, fire trucks here often run along ambulances
19:53 <Cepheid> Not here, unfortunately. Usually it's "closest responder first"
19:53 <Cepheid> And ambulances tend to be all over the place, waiting or driving around.
19:55 <Cepheid> http://a.co/d/9jgRBmh This looks like something outta Monster Hunter.
19:56 * Schism sets up 20 coins in front of ADragonHoarding. "Each turn, we'll each take one, two, or three coins from the pile. The person who takes the last coin wins. You go first!"
20:00 * Ali has seen this trick before
20:00 <ADragonHoarding> Wins what?
20:01 <ADragonHoarding> Also, the key is to the second person to go when there's only 5 coins left.
20:01 <Schism> The coins? >.>
20:02 <Schism> And heh. :3
20:02 <Ali> Wrong
20:02 * Ali shrugs, math is hard
20:02 <Schism> The trick is to make sure that the opponent goes on every turn where the coins are a multiple of 4.
20:02 <ADragonHoarding> But if you are the second person to go when there are only 5 coins left, then you are guaranteed to win.
20:03 <Schism> So 20 coins, you take two, I'll take two as well. You take one, I take three. It therefore goes down to 16, then 12, then 8...
20:03 <Ali> You want it to be their turn with 4 coins left
20:03 <Ali> But you'll never get to 5
20:03 * Cepheid looks at the Total War: Rome II forum on Steam. Nopes out there.
20:03 <Ali> Cause they'll always make sure its a multiple of 4
20:03 <Ali> Thus going first, you'll never win
20:05 * ADragonHoarding just takes the pile.
20:06 <Ali> Just what a dragon would do :P
20:06 <ADragonHoarding> oh wait, 5 coins is wrong because the first person could take 1. I miscalculated.
20:06 <ADragonHoarding> But yes.
20:07 <ADragonHoarding> Alternately, add a coin to the pile.
20:07 <Schism> If you're being tricksy, yes. :S
20:07 <Cepheid> Ali: You ever play Towers of Hanoi?
20:07 <Ali> Nope
20:08 <ADragonHoarding> Did you ever play Knights of the Old Republic?
20:08 <Schism> Ali: It's a simple game! You get three pillars, and a set of rings stacked, in order of size, on one of them.
20:09 <Schism> Each turn, you can move the topmost ring from one pillar to another. You can only move the rings onto those which are larger than them, though.
20:09 <Schism> The goal is to move all the rings over from one side to the other.
20:09 <Schism> (It's said that there are a group of ancient monks who have a 64-piece Tower of Hanoi puzzle. They make one move per second, and when they've finished, the universe will end.)
20:10 <Cepheid> I just asked 'cause of the coin game thing. Your response was interesting, since not everyone can see the problem immediately, nor knows of it. Lotta students in Comp. Sci. who wouldn't figure it out until after a few games. If they're lucky.
20:10 <Cepheid> That alone tells me you either have recognition of patterns, or have experienced it before. :P
20:10 <ADragonHoarding> Towers of Hanoi was in Knights of the Old.
20:10 <Cepheid> And Towers of Hanoi is a game not really based in strategy, but knowledge of patterns.
20:11 <ADragonHoarding> Except it was disguised as a power transfer thing.
20:11 <Schism> One thing about the Towers of Hanoi is that the algorithm used to solve that is, in part, also used in Freecell.
20:11 <Cepheid> Amazingly students can't figure out that algorithm, Schism.
20:11 <Ali> I've seen the coin trick before so sorry
20:11 <Cepheid> Ah, still.
20:11 <Schism> The coin game is known as 'Nim', and it's very, very old.
20:11 <Cepheid> For some reason, Towers of Hanoi confuses students.
20:12 <Cepheid> In comp sci that is.
20:12 <Cepheid> Whenever it's brought up, a lot of students have trouble solving even the 3-disc case.
20:12 <Schism> The algorithm requires that you have to make a move which seems counterintuitive.
20:12 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
20:13 <Cepheid> I have the algorithm floating around in my brain somewhere, possibly quite literally 'cause neurons and all that floating about.
20:13 <Jon_the_Bronynerd> Ugh
20:13 <Cepheid> So it doesn't throw me for as much of a loop as it does the rest.
20:13 <Jon_the_Bronynerd> Cozy's mane is just so exaggerated
20:14 <SunsetShimmer> Well yeah, she's a little darla dimple
20:14 <Cepheid> The only real issue with Towers of Hanoi is that for each disc you add to the stack, the number of steps required to solve it grows considerably. I think it's exponential scale, but I can't recall.
20:14 <Cepheid> Yeah, exponential growth.
20:15 <Cepheid> 2^n - 1 steps. So 3 discs is 7 steps, 4 discs is 15 steps, 5 discs is 31 steps and so on.
20:16 <Cepheid> Eventually it just gets to a point where doing it in your head is silly.
20:16 <Cepheid> Or doing it by hand.
20:16 <ADragonHoarding> I can tell you the correct first move for any size towers of hanoi puzzle.
20:16 <Cepheid> You don't say.
20:17 *** Tempo-AFK is now known as Tempo
20:17 <ADragonHoarding> Where N = number of discs, where N is odd, move first disc to third pole, and where N is even, move first disc to middle pole.
20:18 <Cepheid> Yep.

20:34 <Schism> Yeah, the clicking sound varies depending on the language, too, and the means by which it's produced.
20:34 <Cepheid> I made this tomato soup way too spicy.
20:34 <Schism> Blasphemy!
20:35 <Cepheid> You're right. It must just still be too hot, temperature wise, that it's burning a bit more than usual.

20:43 <Cepheid> Also learned something I imagine Quebec's government isn't too pleased about. Apparently a number of my classmates in linguistics, they learned French as part of their elementary and grade school curriculum, but apparently it was not Quebec French.
20:43 <Cepheid> It being somewhat more functionally useful to learn France dialect of French. o3o
20:44 <Schism> I've found it interesting to see how the French government wants to preserve the purity of their language, and as such want to render it a dead language.
20:45 <Schism> But anyroad, yeah, heh.
20:45 <Schism> Canadian French is like American English. o3o
20:45 <Cepheid> I don't entirely understand how their purity concept works, given that the words in question are just foreign words with a few letters changed to make it distinct enough from the base language in appearance.
20:46 <Cepheid> That's not maintaining purity of a language, that's just butchering loanwords. Every language does it to some extent.
20:46 <Schism> Yah.
20:46 <Schism> As James Nicoll put it... well, the quote isn't PG. o3o;
20:46 <Cepheid> Send it to me in a PM.
20:47 <Schism> He referred to the 'purity of the English language', but it works for any language, really.
20:47 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
20:47 <Cepheid> Even Japan does it. It's more apparent when you consider such words are written in a different script, though.
20:47 <Cepheid> Katakana is primarily used for names and loanwords from other languages.
20:49 <Schism> Yupyup.
20:49 <Schism> Every language does it, because no language exists in a vacuum.
20:50 <Thelema5> What about constructed languages?
20:50 <Cepheid> Even those at some point will adopt words, simply because it must.
20:50 <Cepheid> Otherwise you have the problem of the language being unable to express common concepts.
20:51 <Cepheid> Imagine pointing at a computer, but not having a 'native' word for computer?
20:51 <Schism> Conlangs are generally centered around concepts which are at least readily distinguished in their speakers' native languages.
20:51 <Schism> This is in contrast to natural languages, which evolve based around the concepts introduced to them.
20:52 <Schism> Well. That didn't quite come out right...
20:52 <Cepheid> My favourite word for "computer" outside of the English still remains the "colloquial" term that Japan uses.
20:52 <Cepheid> "pasokon"
20:52 <Cepheid> Short for Personal Computer
20:54 <Cepheid> The Japanese "a" sound is commonly used to approximate English "ɹ"
20:54 <Cepheid> Which is that "eeerrr" sound that you hear in "finger" "hunter" "runner" and so on.

20:59 <Cepheid> Do I want to relax and play Monster Hunter tonight, or do I want to play something else?
21:02 <Schism> You ever get very far in Stardew Valley?
21:03 <Cepheid> Nope.

21:04 <Schism> Might be worth playin' then. o3o
21:06 <Cepheid> Perhaps. Alternatively I feel up for some Minecraft with RotaryCraft instead. Too bad that's restricted to 1.7.10
21:07 <Ali> Good old Rotorycraft
21:07 <Ali> That made my head hurt SO MUCH
21:08 <Cepheid> Not a fan of gear ratios and stuffs?
21:08 <Cepheid> Myself, the robotics class I take has reintroduced me to playing with gears, and I have this unending compulsion to PLAY WITH GEARS.
21:09 * Cepheid plays with 914.
21:15 * Schism purchases 5 mechanical brass alarm clocks, and puts them into 914 on various settings. Rough: a pile of brass chunks. Coarse: A brass sundial, with glass inlay. 1:1: A Mickey Mouse alarm clock, circa 1950s. Fine: An digital alarm clock radio. Very Fine: A steampunk-esque timepiece which, when the alarm goes off, renders all beings in its vicinity unable to sleep for 48 hours.

21:17 <Cepheid> Heh.

21:18 <Schism> This is nice and straightforward. http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-j
21:19 <Schism> Of course, you upvoted that one six years ago.
21:19 * Filly_Nightmares roll
21:23 <Cepheid> Pretty much.
21:23 * Schism rolls over and boops Filly_Nightmares wif some grilled cheez sammiches.
21:24 <Schism> "Could it be? Has 914 actually made something useful for once? Scratch that. Apparently 914's idea of what "Germs" are also includes human skin, so now I have chemical burns." "Frankly, I think you walked right into that one."

21:26 <Cepheid> Yeah, the only other game I'm interested in touching besides MH and Minecraft + RotaryCraft is...
21:26 <Cepheid> Valkyria Chronicles.
21:27 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/hakusama0906/status/828083560493965312 ... Something is missing here.
21:28 <Schism> Well, it seems to be reacting normally to stimuli.
21:29 <Cepheid> The ears. Where are the ears.
21:29 <Cepheid> Obviously held low to the head.
21:29 <Cepheid> As the twitter account shows the cat with ears. It's just they blend in so well with the fur I can't see them.
21:30 <Schism> This is a perfectly fine blep. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dn1uPmeXkAALrSQ.jpg:large
21:30 <Cepheid> Yep.
21:32 <Schism> Heh. https://twitter.com/hakusama0906/status/1026310420317921280
21:38 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/vzd3g4rbwlo11.jpg I'd be a bit more insulted, but to be honest, the only people comp sci students like are other comp sci students, usually.
21:39 <Schism> Well, it is one of those disciplines which lends itself well to comparisons of monastic study.

22:02 <Filly_Nightmares> Eee
22:02 <Thelema5> I could have some more of that chili I made, I've three more servings in the freezer... and there's some left-over veg lasagnein the freezer as well, I could make that with some meatless balls I have on hoof... Or I could cook up the "Chikn" strips I have with a stir-fry sauce and serve them over ramen noodles with asian vegetables...
22:02 <Thelema5> *lasagne in
22:03 <Thelema5> Or I could just do soup and a sandwich
22:03 * Thelema5 is not much of a cook
22:04 <Thelema5> I guess burgers and / or hotdogs are always an option. I do have some tots on hoof
22:05 <Schism> Options are always nice. I'm thinking I might just make up some tomato soup and grilled cheese tonight.
22:05 <Cepheid> This is silly.
22:05 <Cepheid> I don't want to sit in front of my computer or monitor to play games, but I am fully content to sit here on this lay-z-boy chair and not do anything.
22:06 <Thelema5> Heh
22:06 <Schism> That sounds like some ennui. Maybe read something instead?
22:06 <Thelema5> Schism, that might be a good option too.
22:07 <Cepheid> https://www.robotshop.com/en/58mm-plastic-omni-wheel-compatible-servos-lego-mindstorms-nxt.html Someone buy me three of these and send them my way.
22:07 <Schism> Needn't be anything major - find a book, read a book? The Gutenberg Press has a wide variety of options if nothing in your place appeals.
22:07 <Schism> Cephy: Heh.
22:08 <Cepheid> I actually need some to do tomorrow's robotics lab. Normally the prof would provide me with some, but uh..
22:08 * Cepheid looks at his 10:00 AM scheduled appointment, which is in the middle of said lab.
22:09 <Schism> E-mail your prof, let her know that you've got that nonsense going on and you're short just a few pieces.
22:09 <Schism> So long as you keep them up to date on what's going on, most folks are more reasonable about this sort of thing than you'd expect.
22:10 <Cepheid> He already knows, I asked him for some suggestions, the above is what he came up with.
22:10 <Cepheid> Missing the lab is fine, it's just I'd still like to be able to do it.
22:10 <Schism> Hrmm.
22:10 <Cepheid> In my own time, of course.
22:10 * Schism nods.
22:12 <Cepheid> I'll likely just do the lab after I get my OSAP money or first pay. And speaking of OSAP...
22:12 <Cepheid> ...
22:12 <Cepheid> The paperwork still hasn't been applied to my application. Gonna have to go bug the school on Friday to see if they ever submitted the paperwork like they said they would.

22:18 <Cepheid> (Hint: There are approximately 6.28 radians in a full circle.)
22:24 <Schism> Ah, good. Landlord came in to turn on the heating (read: insert the fuses which control the heaters). It all went perfectly smoothly.
22:24 <Schism> I'd worried a confrontation might be at hand, but nope.
22:25 <Schism> The guy is definitely not healthy, though.
22:26 <Cepheid> I'd ask why there'd be a confrontation, but I'm not sure I want to know.
22:27 <Schism> The gentleman has been... tetchy for the past while. To be fair to him, my aunt has given him severe reason to be.
22:28 <Schism> But that's how it goes. I can handle a transactional relationship there, where we nod, smile, say the right things, and generally ignore one another.
22:28 <Schism> It'll never be ideal, of course.

22:29 <Cepheid> Buuut I'm not gonna poke a hornet's nest.
22:29 <Schism> True, but how many people do you know who are perfectly professional?
22:29 <PinkieShy> Snaking a drain is so gross.. >_>
22:29 <PinkieShy> But it had to be done.. Hair was making tub drain not well drain..
22:30 <Schism> I'm actually not that upset about him.
22:30 <Schism> Also, yees. That sucks, PinkieShy. :< But at least that's fixed now.
22:31 <Schism> Cepheid: It helps that the aunt in question is the black sheep, so to speak.
22:31 <Schism> 'Helps'.
22:42 * Cepheid reinstalls Valkyria Chronicles. May as well finally get around to playing it.
22:42 <Cepheid> Any advice for it, ADragonDreaming?
22:43 <ADragonDreaming> Depends on your goals.
22:44 <Cepheid> Enjoying the story to the best of my abilities.
22:44 <ADragonDreaming> Okay. Game ranks your performance on, well, speed.
22:45 <Schism> Sounds like you should do one run to just relax and enjoy it, and then a second to be as fast as possible. Like a Metroidvania.
22:45 <ADragonDreaming> So decide ahead of time whether you care about the ranking system, and adjust tactics accordingly.
22:46 <ADragonDreaming> Mentally prepare yourself to start maps over after you've gotten your head bashed in by the ambush.
22:47 <ADragonDreaming> Also realize that this isn't fire emblem - if a squaddie goes down, they aren't necessarily out.
22:48 <ADragonDreaming> when they go down, they bleed out for three turns. Finish the map or rescue them before then and they'll be back for the next map.
22:49 <Cepheid> Right.
22:49 <ADragonDreaming> that's all the general advice I have
22:49 <Cepheid> Sounds good.
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> If you hit a wall in a specific mission I might be able to advise but it's fairly straightforward honestly.
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> trial and error will see you through
22:50 <Schism> That means in which squaddies die sounds very similar to FFTactics.

23:11 <Thelema5> I hope you find it, Schism
23:11 <Schism> I found it. Otherwise, it would have been 60 minutes.
23:12 <Schism> This is how my life goes. XD
23:13 <Thelema5> At least you have a cleaner area now
23:13 <Schism> This apartment is in a better shape than it's been in months, and it's all due to a collection of hilarious misconveniences.
23:14 <Schism> Piano's nice and playable once more.
23:15 <Thelema5> Nice!
23:15 <Thelema5> Do you play?
23:16 <Schism> I occasionally tinkle on the ivories. And have spent way too much money on doing so.
23:16 <Thelema5> Hmmm.
23:17 <Thelema5> That was an understanding kind of Hmmm. Not a questioning kind of Hmmm
23:17 <Schism> Though... $400 for a full-scale keyboard with a USB interface, and a bit like $300 for a full-fledged suite, seem like pennies on the dollar.
23:17 * Thelema5 nods!
23:17 <Schism> Many people have spent much more for much less.
23:18 <Thelema5> Music stuff is expensive
23:18 <Schism> Naturally, it only matters if I do something with them instead of letting these things sit.
23:19 <Schism> I am, however, tempted to take this keyboard's collections of soundfonts and play DOOT.
23:19 <Thelema5> You could start selling original theme intro music for second rate youtube channels
23:19 <Thelema5> XD

23:38 <Cepheid> I'd need money to do that, and I'm unwilling to use the credit cards I have on me for it.
23:38 <Schism> Reasonable enough.
23:39 <ADragonDreaming> 'tis the weakness of ragnite, Cepheid
23:39 <ADragonDreaming> The radiators are necessary or the tank goes boom.
23:40 <Cepheid> Yeah, but it's a little obvious, ya know.
23:40 <ADragonDreaming> yep
23:42 <Schism> Cepheid: I wish I could, in good faith, just send you some omniwheels in return for such a favour.
23:42 <Cepheid> Heh. Nah, dun worry about it.
23:43 <Schism> Stuff and nonsense. I just mean I wish that equivalent exchange could work there.
23:43 <Schism> Much less workable on your end than mine, so it doesn't fit.
