01:01 <Schism> Have you hugged a Diamond today?
01:02 <PinkieShy> I think its time.. :/
01:02 <Schism> (I believe there's going to be a full-length movie.)
01:02 <PinkieShy> Maybe i should just get a dr appointment for Thrusday afternoon if need be..
01:02 <PinkieShy> Some other ppl have told me.. What if its its not the mattress.. What if its a big kidney stone or something.
01:05 * Schism frowns at the water. It appears to be off.
01:05 <Schism> Oh, there it goes.
01:05 <Schism> Also, a checkup now and then is hardly a bad idea.
01:06 <PinkieShy> Schism I'm sure my doctor would want to know if Ibuprofen isn't working to help with this pain at all.
01:07 * Schism nods. "Absolutely."

01:23 <PinkieShy> Called the doctor's on call answering desk..
01:24 <PinkieShy> They told me call in the morning to make an appointment if they don't think i need appointment they'd tell me what to at least do.
01:24 <PinkieShy> They'd probably do appointment.. I got that feeling

03:15 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 i saw the hr special tonight.
03:15 <Thelema5> I haven't seen it
03:15 <PinkieShy> It was a roller coaster of excitement
03:16 <Thelema5> Or any of the new eps yet
03:16 <PinkieShy> When you do get a chance to see it.. Be prepared for all the new ep to be a total mind blown :P
03:16 <Thelema5> I'll have yo make a point of checking it out
03:16 <Thelema5> *to
03:18 * DashedRainbows relicks Thelema5. interesting
03:23 <PinkieShy> Would it be a spoiler if i say I believe Season 6 will be the finale?
03:23 *** Pony_65196 is now known as Filly_Nightmares
03:26 <Thelema5> Nah, I k now that Rebecca Sugar has moved on to other projects
03:26 * Thelema5 tastes like soup and a sandwich. Was too tired to make anything substantial for dinner
03:27 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 here is the mattress i am planning to get http://www.spinemattressguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Zinus-Memory-Foam-12-Inch-Green-Tea-Mattress-Review.jpg
03:30 <DashedRainbows> I have indigestion and can't take anything for it D:
03:33 <Thelema5> Looks fancy, PinkieShy
03:33 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, sorry to hear that!
03:33 <DashedRainbows> how's the Thelema5 today?
03:33 <Thelema5> Can you not even take sodium bicarbonate?
03:34 <DashedRainbows> nope, because it affects the absorption of my anti-rejection meds
03:34 <Thelema5> I'm sore and extremely tired after digging out from 12 inches of snow and 1/2 of ice
03:34 <Thelema5> Gah, that sucks
03:35 * DashedRainbows sits by Thelema5
03:35 <Thelema5> Hmm... I hate it when I figure out the ending of a movie half way through
03:35 <Thelema5> Maybe I'm wrong about this one

03:41 <DashedRainbows> I never was a social pone, and being stuck at home makes me hate it more
03:41 <Thelema5> Yeah, it helps to set up something in the future you're looking foward to, like a concert or going to a special place... it give us a sense of momentum, and a target.
03:42 <Thelema5> The ONLY thing which got me through December was the thought of going to my SO's mothers place for x-mas
03:43 <DashedRainbows> even if I could go somewhere it's a hassle

03:43 <Thelema5> We'll you're still recovering. In a few moe months you'll be out and about
03:44 <Thelema5> *more
03:44 <DashedRainbows> sigh I guess
03:44 <DashedRainbows> for now it's hard
03:46 <DashedRainbows> the meds are screwing with my already broken emotions
03:46 <DashedRainbows> but sigh
03:47 <Thelema5> Yeah.
03:47 * Thelema5 hugs you again
03:49 <DashedRainbows> my days as of late have been watching anime and cartoons and eating
03:50 <DashedRainbows> yet I weigh less than before; the body is weird
03:51 <DashedRainbows> also it's amazing how swollen you can get; 11kg in like a week
03:52 <Thelema5> Yeah, swelling sucks
03:53 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, that's pretty much my life too. Well, reddit and watching cartoons.
04:00 <DashedRainbows> literally laying for hours watching anime
04:01 <DashedRainbows> I'm glad I own a roku stick makes it easy to switch tv
04:04 <Thelema5> Gah, turns out I was right about the ending of this movie after all
04:04 <Thelema5> :/
04:05 <DashedRainbows> lol I laugh because it makes me feel better about my life
04:09 <Thelema5> Hmm. So I this happen the other night (gore warning, blood!) https://imgur.com/mdbdWdT
04:09 <Thelema5> It finally seems to be healing. Stopped bleeding at any rate.
04:10 <DashedRainbows> meh. just a minor flesh wound...
04:10 <Thelema5> It mostly sucks because I habitually suck my thumb. THIS one. So I've been on edge ever since
04:10 <DashedRainbows> ah
04:10 <Thelema5> Can't manage to relax at all
04:11 <DashedRainbows> I used to use drugs for that but that's hardly advisable
04:12 <Thelema5> Heh, I have as well. And no, not too advisable
04:12 <DashedRainbows> post-chemo I was mega anxious and was on diazepam
04:13 <DashedRainbows> and even then...
04:14 <Thelema5> I'm on lorazapam, same drug class and family. It helps, but screws with my memory
04:15 <Thelema5> Did you have that problem with diazepam?
04:15 <DashedRainbows> some ppl get all the fun ones. all I got now is a bunch of known anxiogenics and a mild opiate
04:16 <DashedRainbows> my memory was *yay* anyway because I want to forget that part of my life
04:16 <DashedRainbows> so I wish, but not enough
04:17 <DashedRainbows> in short, yes I suppose
04:17 <Thelema5> makes sense
04:20 <DashedRainbows> you could try gabapentin, but if you're unlucky getting off it might be hell
04:22 <DashedRainbows> lyrica is more effective but screws with vision and is harder to get off
04:22 <Thelema5> Yeah, I am already an alcoholic- I should probably avoid drugs with a tendency towards abuse
04:22 <DashedRainbows> yet you take benzos...
04:23 <DashedRainbows> apparently drinking is really discouraged on lyrica
04:23 <DashedRainbows> oopsie
04:24 <DashedRainbows> at least it only was one large beer
04:27 <Thelema5> I don't drink when I take benzos... it's actually a limiting factor for me- I have to decide "do I want to take this now, or drink later"
04:29 * DashedRainbows nods
04:30 <Thelema5> That's probably why I haven't started abusing them, tbh
04:33 <DashedRainbows> I'm upset that all my immunosuppressants are anxiogenics
04:37 * DashedRainbows wags her tail to the beat
04:39 <Thelema5> I don't know what those are
04:39 * Thelema5 is not a smart pone
04:40 <DashedRainbows> they're drugs that supress the immune system
04:40 <DashedRainbows> in this case to prevent rejection
04:40 <Thelema5> Aaah, gotcha

06:16 <PinkieShy> Instead of a new mattress for the time being.. Got a new memory foam topper coming..
06:17 <PinkieShy> Instead of 3" this is a 4" foam which reviews said 'cloud-like' hopefully it helps for the time being.. At least with this i can even add to a new mattress as well to make it even softer :3
06:21 <PinkieShy> I guess $140 is a small price compared to $300 for a new mattress to see..
06:22 <PinkieShy> $140 for the topper.. Cheapest i could find right now..

09:14 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, I'm basically self-ejecting myself from that crud pit. I got real tired of their bad decisions these past three months, and it's gonna take a few more months for them to actually correct or regulate anything.
09:15 * Schism nods. "Time you're not willing to spend when you could be looking for better options."
09:15 <ConfusionRift> Exactly.
09:17 * Filly_Nightmares uses ConfusionRift as a bed and Schism as a blankie
09:17 <ConfusionRift> The last straw was that, just today, they decided to FURTHER reduce our backroom space from two steel rack on two sides to a single side single rack, and gives us a lousy, lazy, horrible, insufferable backroom associate as a dept. manager.
09:18 <Schism> Ah. Thaaaaat will do it.
09:18 * Schism pours some warm wuv and herbal tea into Filly_Nightmares!
09:19 <ConfusionRift> This one power licked the shoes of our terrible co-manager and got the free position.

09:48 * Schism blinkblinks at ConfusionRift. Also, snuggles the Filly_Nightmares! "Sleep well!"
09:49 <Schism> What game's that then, CR?
09:51 <ConfusionRift> RDR2. Aside from you health, energy, and dead eye bars, you have the primary cores to worry about. The lower they are, the slower the recovery. Your horse also has this same mechanic, sans the dead eye.
09:51 <ConfusionRift> *your health
09:53 <Schism> Ah, I think I see how those work. *checked article* And yeesh.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> Basically, the normal bars work as in most games (energy use during sprinting, health reducing upon getting hit, etc.). The cores serve as a form of degradation as time passes, which affect the recovery speed of the normal bars. You can replenish them with some foods and other items, but resting is the most effective at the cost of time.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> Yep, like other Rockstar games, time affects the game.
09:58 <Schism> Makes sense. Gotta complete things in a sensible timeframe, et cetera.
09:59 <Schism> As opposed to games where you can just bop around and do nothing for days on end, and quests only become important when you want them to be.
10:01 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's more of certain quests and options being open at certain times of day, mostly like in real life.

15:28 * Cepheid is drinking, now.
15:28 * Cepheid also confirmed how the vending machines work, regarding transactions with debit/credit cards and student cards.
15:28 <Cepheid> I was able to buy two drinks using my card only once.
15:28 <Cepheid> It leaves the transaction open for about 30 seconds.
15:29 <Cepheid> So if you don't hit the red button, it leaves it open, and someone else could come up and get a free drink using your money.
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> Yes.
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> That's pretty standard.
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> The card readers usually tell you to press the button when finished.
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> The entire intention is to allow for multiple purchases on a single swipe.
15:41 <Cepheid> In this case, the system makes no indication.
15:41 <Cepheid> In fact..
15:41 <Cepheid> You won't even know it's doing it, in a typical situation.
15:41 <Cepheid> Because what happens is you tap, it authorizes that you can make the purchase, and then you input your decision, that's all straightforward.
15:42 <Cepheid> But after the drink is dispensed, it spends about 20 seconds displaying "Settling products." and then finally displays "Please make another seelction" for another 15-20 seconds.
15:42 <Cepheid> By the time it even gets to that point, you're long gone.
15:42 <Cepheid> And there's no messages about ending the transaction via pressing the "Fin" button, and no indication on the vending machines at all.
15:44 <Cepheid> It'd have been safer to provide a button instead, that during the settling phase, would indicate you wanted to make another purchase.

18:31 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o SunsetShimmer
18:36 <Cepheid> Not as far as I know.
18:37 <Cepheid> Unless the tablet allows adjusting sensitivity. Those are restricted primarily to tablets using magnetic styluses, like the S-Pen or a Wacom tablet.
18:37 <LibrarianofHope> blehh
18:45 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-jef.eoa.56.172.IP)
18:45 <Cepheid> The most common type of touchscreen works via capacitance. That is, creating a connection between two or more very close electrical lines. This isn't exactly a reliable system, and is prone to detecting touches when there aren't any. And due to the unreliable nature, sensitivity calibration is difficult.
18:46 <Cepheid> Also, I am going to regret what I am about to do next week..
18:46 <Cepheid> There is a singing competition coming up in March. It is for students learning a foreign language, open to all levels.
18:47 <Cepheid> I'm gonna sign up. I need to start getting outside my safety bubble regarding a number of social things.
18:47 <Cepheid> I feel like this would be a good start.
18:48 <LibrarianofHope> you sing?
18:49 <Cepheid> Not much but I do occasionally follow along with songs.
18:50 <Cepheid> I follow a lot of musical things. For someone with a hearing impairment, i sure seem to have a good grasp on tone, tempo and the like.
18:52 <LibrarianofHope> i can hear some subsonic stuff owo

18:52 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
18:52 <Cepheid> I can hear noise and understand speech with earplugs in. The latter is easier if I can see the person's lips.
18:57 <Cepheid> Such hearing is called bone conduction hearing. For some reason people don't seem to be very aware of it.
18:58 <Schism> It's why your voice sounds different when you speak, then when you hear yourself on a microphone.
18:58 <Schism> er, than.*
18:58 <Cepheid> Basically, sound waves travel through your skull, the bones in your head. The vibrations from the wave reach your ear, and start shaking the bones in your ear.
18:59 <Cepheid> Because of this, earplugs are useless for me.
19:00 <Cepheid> Even with them in, I still hear noise. For reasons unknown, this actually makes bone conduction much, much louder.
19:01 <Cepheid> It is muted in a sense though. Sounds like listening to a person attempting to speak to you when you are both underwater.
19:01 <Cepheid> Presumably because the waves travel nearly instantaneously through bone, similar to noise made underwater.

19:18 <Cepheid> The best approximate way to experience conductive hearing is basically to take a pair of on-ear headphones, put some music on, and press one or both of the earpieces against your skull.
19:19 <Cepheid> Doesn't work well or at all with over-the-ear headphones, though.
19:20 <Cepheid> Songs with bass also tend to fare better.

23:20 <LibrarianofHope> imma try the power will kill user trope
23:21 <LibrarianofHope> up the stakes
23:29 <LibrarianofHope> so continuing the singing conversation
23:29 <LibrarianofHope> what language are you going to sing in?
23:31 <Cepheid> Japanese, it has to be the language we are getting education/training in.
23:31 <LibrarianofHope> got a song yet?
23:32 <Cepheid> Not yet. I got a list of songs I'd like to try.
23:32 <LibrarianofHope> no anime stuff?
23:32 <LibrarianofHope> too cliche?
23:33 <Cepheid> Nah, that's allowable.
23:33 <Cepheid> Any song, so long as it's done in Japanese. Can even take an existing song in a language I understand, and translate it to Japanese, then sing that.
23:33 <LibrarianofHope> all the songs i like are meant for female sinngers
23:33 <Cepheid> Apparently a few years back, someone did Stairway to Heaven in French.
23:33 <Cepheid> I don't think that matters.
23:34 <Cepheid> I mean, it'd be preferential to use a song that's sung by the same gender, but..
23:34 <Cepheid> So long as you can match the tone, pronounce all the syllables, and so on, it's good.
23:34 <LibrarianofHope> ever tried enka ballads?
23:34 <LibrarianofHope> imagine sinatra a la samurai
23:36 <Cepheid> I'd have to look into it.
23:36 <Cepheid> I'm preferential towards songs I know have a positive effect on my mood, though.
23:36 <LibrarianofHope> umm
23:37 <LibrarianofHope> my all time favorite is the vocaloid song matryoshka
23:37 <Cepheid> So basically it's going to be a personal choice regardless of suggestions. I'll listen to the music that's suggested to me, so..
23:37 <LibrarianofHope> of course
23:37 <LibrarianofHope> but music is a heavy part of my writing method
23:38 <LibrarianofHope> i like giving tips
23:40 <LibrarianofHope> give witch hunt , a vocaloid song, a look
23:40 <LibrarianofHope> a male rendition would be great.
23:41 <LibrarianofHope> i havent even heard you sing,
23:41 <LibrarianofHope> what kinf of voice you have?
23:42 <Cepheid> That's a tricky question to answer. It's variable.
23:42 <Cepheid> Average talking, it tends to be somewhere in the middle of loudness and deepness.
23:42 <Cepheid> But if I'm quiet, and focused on something, my voice gets deep.
23:42 <LibrarianofHope> umm
23:42 <Cepheid> It's weird.
23:43 <LibrarianofHope> nah, pretty standard
23:43 <Cepheid> Overall, I'd say "deep"
23:43 <Cepheid> But I can adjust it to varying levels.
23:43 <LibrarianofHope> witch hunt would be right up the deep alley, try it for a spin
23:43 <LibrarianofHope> what is on your current list ?
23:44 <Cepheid> Mostly because rather than hum to music, I tend to follow the lows and highs of music with a whispering humming type thing, where I adjust my vocal chords to meet the rough approximation of the sound.
23:45 <Cepheid> As for my list, it's varied. Got a few songs from an old anime I used to watch, learned how to sing one of them. It's workable because the singer in that case was male.
23:45 <Cepheid> There's a few songs from a Japanese band I can't recall the name of(But can look up at any time)
23:46 <Cepheid> Then, contradictory to gender, I'd like to try one of the more recent songs I've heard, from the Azure Striker Gunvolt series. I want to sing one of Lumen's songs from that game.
23:46 <LibrarianofHope> there is an old one called servant of evil, vocaloid as well.
23:46 <LibrarianofHope> its a soulfull male one
23:46 <Cepheid> And yeah, there's at least two vocaloid songs.
23:47 <LibrarianofHope> which ones owo?
23:47 <Cepheid> Double Lariat, by Luka Megurine. Secret, by Luka Megurine.
23:48 <LibrarianofHope> double lariat is a classic owo
23:48 <LibrarianofHope> its unisex, its a fantastic choice
23:49 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
23:49 <Cepheid> Double Lariat is a good choice, for sure.
23:49 <Cepheid> It's also not too fast.
23:49 <Cepheid> My biggest issue with singing overall is speed, I can produce all the syllables just fine, but some combinations make me "trip"
23:49 <LibrarianofHope> i remembered one called million dollar dreamers
23:50 <Cepheid> 「はじめまして」 - hajimemashite
23:50 <Cepheid> This is the most prominent example of me tripping.
23:50 <Cepheid> When I try to pronounce it, the "mema" part trips me.
23:50 <LibrarianofHope> i reallly like vocaloid owo, revolutionazied my writinfg
23:51 <LibrarianofHope> i just keep rembering the oldies
23:51 <LibrarianofHope> whats your kind of music anyway?

23:52 <LibrarianofHope> dont eat that
23:55 <Cepheid> J-Pop, instrumental music of certain speeds, dance, electronica. Basically anything with a particularly energetic beat to it, or high BPM. But there are outliers, of course.
23:56 <Cepheid> These are more generally the direction my tastes go, but because of the outliers, it's hard to be definitive about it.
