00:03 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony!

00:03 <Cepheid> Morning.
00:04 <Ali> /me licks Finwe
00:04 <Ali> huh, apperently space bar invaded
00:04 <Finwe> o3o
00:04 * DashedRainbows barks at Finwe
00:04 <Finwe> Much space. Such bar.
00:04 <Finwe> Wow!

00:06 * Finwe patpats an Ali.
00:09 * SunsetShimmer snuggles an ali
00:10 * Ali squeaks
00:14 <Cepheid> Hum, that's where my confusion stemmed from. Solved that little bit.
00:16 <Cepheid> When I have a set such as S ={a, b, c, d, e, f, g}, and I want to count all the subsets of S that don't include the sequence {b, g, e}, for example, the resultant set I should count the subsets of is {a, c, d, f, {b, g, e}}, that is, treating {b, g, e} as a single element of S. Thus: 5! I for whatever reason, initially thought it was 4!
00:20 <Cepheid> Weird way of looking at it, I imagine.
00:20 <Cepheid> But it works.

11:54 <Cepheid> Newer system? Meanwhile, I am waiting to head out. We usually leave at 7 AM.
12:01 <ConfusionRift> The Ryzen build I put together last year.
12:03 <ConfusionRift> Thought about giving it a spin for a while. Works well, though I think some software issues, since I can only use Win 10.
12:04 <Cepheid> Driver issues.
12:05 * ConfusionRift nods. "It's the usual suspect."
12:05 <ConfusionRift> Thought I got them sorted. Guessed wrong.
12:05 <Cepheid> Ryzen 7 hardware uses hardware that is not supported out of the box by Windows 8.1 or lower.
12:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Pony Plushie Compilation #308 [ http://tinyurl.com/y95eln7z ]
12:05 <Cepheid> Or rather, Ryzen 2nd gen.
12:06 <Cepheid> If you want to use that, you will need to create a slipstreamed image with the appropriate drivers provided.
12:06 <Cepheid> Tricky, but not impossible.
12:08 <ConfusionRift> ^ Yep. And its early releases were a major pain because of the motherboard bios that support the format were incompatible with the APU. You had to contact AMD so they could send a loaned APU to do the bios update. Luckily, I didn't had to deal with that.
12:10 <ConfusionRift> I think the driver issues are partly caused by Win 10 and its dumb protection to anything that looks remotely weird right out of the box.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> I think I fixed it!
12:13 <ConfusionRift> It was an AMD driver issue.
12:13 <Cepheid> Windows 10 gave me some issues at first, but no. I think the problem is more hardware. More and more hardware needs specialized drivers to function. Generic drivers aren't viable.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's never a good idea to just rely on the generic driver, especially for newer devices.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> One of the problems I had was Win 10 halting any sort of odd driver. I still use plenty of outdated and cheap equipment that do have those "not exactly from around here" or "from a known brand" drivers.
12:18 <ConfusionRift> But you know, it's no longer an issue anymore... sorta.
12:19 <Cepheid> Yeah. Using older hardware or offbrand stuff is risky.
12:19 <ConfusionRift> Now, THIS thing... (points at the GC controller to PC and Switch adapter) ...was nothing but a bad time in both 10 and 7.
12:19 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
12:20 <Cepheid> The CPU itself, if it is 1st gen, there wers known issues with the hardware that required microcode updates. Those were provided by the drivers.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> Ryzen 5 2400g.
12:26 <ConfusionRift> So yeah, just wanted something for basic emulation and some gaming, nothing too too big. I know, I could have gone for the Ryzen 3 or the 1st gen. I just wanted more space for function and video processing.

12:55 <Schism> Er, heh. Bayshore, not Bayview. Not sure why I thought the latter.
12:55 <Cepheid> Also, some suckage. Them boots I bought the other day? They fit very nice, but I am noticing a problem now that i have been wearing them for 40 minutes now.
12:55 <Schism> Rubbing against one part of your foot?
12:55 <Cepheid> Probably because Bayview is the station that suffered a bus-related injury.
12:56 <Schism> Ah yes, that explains the conflation.
12:56 <Cepheid> Nah. Poor blood circulation. They fit
12:56 <Cepheid> They feel like they are a bit tight, despite initially feeling like they fit well.
12:57 <Cepheid> This would have taken almost 40 minutes to notice when buying. So no way to tell. That or it isn't blood circulation, but the cold.
12:57 <Cepheid> It is something like -27 out there. These boots are rated at -10 to -20.
12:58 <Schism> Ah. @_@
12:58 <Cepheid> And on the bus my feet are starting to feel better.
12:58 <Schism> Reminds me, I need to run to Shopper's before it gets down to -22.
12:58 <ADragonDreaming> polar vortices are lovely things, ain't they
12:59 <Cepheid> Yep. As is living in Canada in general during Winter.
13:03 <Cepheid> Fun thing. I bought these boots to reduce slipping. So far, so good.
13:04 <Schism> Excellent.
13:04 <Cepheid> Problem is, I am an idiot and try to climb down a steep hill.
13:04 <Schism> ...not so excellent.
13:04 <Cepheid> I nearly slipped and fell.
13:05 <Schism> Hrm, there's a pretty high-grade incline going down Guelph street. I should probably just take the circuitous route down Moore to Erb, but that's got its own set of issues.
13:05 <Cepheid> Yeah. It isn't poor circulation. My feet have warmed up now.
13:06 <Cepheid> It's the ultra cold weather. Still better than my shoes.

13:51 <Cepheid> Hmm, Rifty? Problems with animals back home?
13:52 <ConfusionRift> Lived in the mountain side, and had some situations with animals. It would have also helped with people getting lost.
13:53 <Cepheid> Yeah, but it also dependw on the size of the community too I think. A warnkng system like that is tricky to set up locally. And the more remote, the harder it is.
13:54 <Cepheid> Because of the whole reliance on cell towers. Which are installed and configured by the telecoms.

13:55 <Cepheid> Ah. Yeah. Probably.
13:55 <Schism> I've seen a few phones with radio receivers.
13:55 <Schism> Not exactly common, though.
13:56 <Cepheid> Indeed.
13:57 <Cepheid> But with an FM receiver or two, a local radio alert system could be implemented.
13:57 <Schism> Perhaps distribute FM radios with flashlights attached.
13:58 <Cepheid> Write a program that takes control of the receiver, set it to listen to a certain frequency. Any local transmissions sent out would be received, decrypted, and then interpreted.
13:58 <Cepheid> There is that too.
13:58 <Cepheid> Just hand out simple FM receiving devices.
13:59 <Cepheid> The purpose of having them on a phone though would have been for people out and about. But light-based systems you can see woukd work too. Could be placed outside.
14:00 <Cepheid> And with variable colour LEDs, you could get away with just using a colour-coded system. But... That would be risky. Colour-blind folks.
14:02 <Cepheid> I don't know why I've become so concerned about people with those conditions when designing systems. Colour-blindness, hard-of-hearing or deafness, readability for folks who are partly blind, etc.
14:03 <Cepheid> Speaking of, Schism, you don't have to concern yourself with people who need enlarged visuals to read and such, for puzzles and stuff. I'm.. actually not sure I can accomodate them with my game.
14:03 <Schism> Yeah... that's one of those things that's really, really hard to put into a game.
14:04 <Cepheid> The best I could advise for such people is to use a much larger screen. I can probably also scale up the UI or parts of the UI that are relevant.
14:05 <Cepheid> Such as money, ammo counts, etc. Text in textboxes can also be scaled up.
14:05 <Cepheid> Of course, the latter will mess with formatting.
14:06 * Schism nods.
14:07 <Cepheid> Colour-blindness is easy. Use hue shifting to shift the appropriate colours. That can be done in shading, these days.
14:07 <Cepheid> It's actually kind of amazing that it's not more commonplace.
14:08 <Cepheid> Admittedly it impacts performance ever so slightly, running one more pass over the completed image before displaying the screen isn't that difficult.
14:09 <Cepheid> For people with normal or near-normal colour vision, it's just a case of making a passthrough shader.
14:09 <Cepheid> Or, not even bothering with that extra pass.
14:09 * Schism nods, "Though of course there are multiple types of colourblindness."
14:09 <Cepheid> For people with colour-blindness, it's just an extra shader pass. The difficulty comes in picking the correct colour shifts for the shader.
14:10 <Cepheid> And a single shader is all that's needed for any number of such colour-blindness cases. You are just hue shifting the red, green and blue components.
14:10 <Cepheid> You can specify the shifts using uniform variables in the shader.
14:10 <Cepheid> Which can be configured from the application side.
14:11 <Cepheid> Poor vision, not much can be done with that, if at all on standard displays.
14:11 <Cepheid> VR displays are a bit different.
14:11 <Cepheid> Near-sighted folks won't have any issues with that. Far-sighted..
14:11 <Cepheid> I wouldn't be surprised if applying a shader could help correct the issue.
14:12 <Schism> Seems plausible, or making the colours 'pop' more.
14:12 <Cepheid> It's about adjusting how the light hits the eyes so that the light focuses on the right point.
14:12 <Cepheid> So it'd involve some projection stuff.
14:12 <Cepheid> Applying curvature, changing size of elements at certain points, etc.
14:13 <Cepheid> There's a mathematical model for correcting vision using lenses, so in theory, that model should be applicable to VR displays to adjust how the image looks for purposes of far-sightedness.
14:13 <Cepheid> Alas, I am near-sighted, so I have no way of confirming this.
14:13 <Cepheid> VR systems would work just fine without my glasses, as a result.
14:13 <Cepheid> No, the trouble I'm likely to have with VR systems is the heat buildup on my face and head.
14:15 <Cepheid> ... I can't imagine how confusing everything I talk about is for other people.
14:15 <Cepheid> I talk a lot of technical stuff here, despite there being a channel dedicated to such a thing RIGHT NEXT DOOR to this channel.
14:15 * Schism chuckles, "It's not all that confusing to me, though I'm a bit of an odd case as well." He looks outside, and frowns. "An odd case who's putting off bundling up and getting his insulin."

14:22 <ConfusionRift> Whoever thought putting one way screws in a motherboard kit should get fired.
14:23 <ConfusionRift> I found the bag full of the screws I was looking for way too late.
14:25 <Cepheid> One-way screws? Aren't they all one-way? :P
14:29 <ConfusionRift> There are screws that have very small serrations or slopes that are meant to prevent the screw from getting loose. The old cheapo case I had for my old system was gonna get replaced for a large case; slight future proofing. During the move, I forgot the motherboard was held by those screws, and gave me a bit of trouble removing them. I wanted to replace them with regular ones, but couldn't find them. Oh well.
14:30 <Cepheid> Oh, that kind of one-way screw.
14:30 <ConfusionRift> Those screws are meant for metal work and construction. (shrugs)

14:34 <Cepheid> Where do you live that you can find such cheap, apparently(?) offbrand(???) hardware so easily?
14:37 <ConfusionRift> 1) Family here were hoarders, so there's plenty of cheap hardware laying around. 2) We sometimes get opportunists when we see the chance, and buy/find for the cheap. 3) I live near the border, so some offbrand stuff makes its way here. 4) I got some PC parts I bought during the CompUSA foreclosure.
14:38 <Cepheid> Ah.
14:39 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, PC Tech also sold a lot of cheap offbrand stuff for PC builders.
14:40 <ConfusionRift> Not that I would trust any of it. Just some stuff to get when on a real pinch.
14:41 <ConfusionRift> An 880w PSU for $20? Yeah, real sketchy.
14:42 <Cepheid> Yeah, the local store has their own brand of parts.
14:42 <Cepheid> They aren't the most reliable, especially the HDMI cables.
14:43 <Cepheid> Remember that audio signal interference issue I was having a while back with my Switch and PC when they were both connected to the TV?
14:43 <ConfusionRift> Oh noooo. I don't trust offbrand cabling. Have had too many bad experiences.
14:43 <Cepheid> Yeah, the cables I was using were store-brand cables.
14:43 <Cepheid> They appeared to lack any and all reliable shielding.
14:43 <Cepheid> Signal interference is a heavy issue I deal with, and it shows.
14:44 <ConfusionRift> Not really? Were you streaming? Because... well... I think it's been like a week since we actually talked more than 15 minutes. :P
14:44 <Cepheid> Occasionally, the interference gets so bad that somehow, the colour information falls out of sequence with the luminance information.
14:44 <Cepheid> I see double images, one in colour, one in black and white.
14:44 <ConfusionRift> Oh man.
14:44 <Cepheid> It lasts for a few seconds before it resynchronizes.
14:44 <Cepheid> And this is over *HDMI*
14:45 <Cepheid> And yeah, it's hard to talk when you're only on in the morning. Only way for me to catch you is to usually wake up at 6 AM. I'm gonna try this week to do that every day, and establish waking up at 6 AM naturally, even on weekends.
14:46 <ConfusionRift> Actually, this is usually my crashing time. I just don't feel tired, and am off today. :P
14:46 <ConfusionRift> But did hear about those cables.
14:47 <ConfusionRift> I think my cousin bought a set for his PC, and one of them just broke off one of the ends.
14:47 <RazorSharpFang> The best sleeping schedules are erratic sleeping schedule.
14:48 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony.
14:48 <ConfusionRift> He accidentally pulled on the cable and one of the ends remained plugged to the monitor.

14:49 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:49 <Cepheid> Hey Finwe.
14:49 <Finwe> Hullo.
14:49 <Cepheid> おはようございます、ふぃんうぇさん。
14:49 <ConfusionRift> And the other started having audio issues, and eventually the image started going out.
14:49 <Cepheid> Right, names are in katakana, not hiragana like that.
14:50 <Cepheid> Need to figure out the "switch kana mode" combo for Linux.
14:50 <ConfusionRift> What did you call me?! :P
14:50 <Cepheid> フィンウェサン
14:50 <Cepheid> That was directed at Finwe.
14:50 <Cepheid> A Japanese approximation of how I pronounce his nickname, which I am sure is incorrect.
14:50 <Cepheid> As I assume the name is using Finnish pronunciation.
14:50 <RazorSharpFang> Katakana for a name is indicative of foreign.
14:51 <Finwe> Ohayogozaimasu Fuin'ue-san?
14:51 <Cepheid> Yes.
14:51 <Cepheid> I pronounce the "Fin" as English "Fin", and "We" as a sort of mix between "Wei" and "Way".
14:52 <RazorSharpFang> I pronounce it as "phin-wheay"
14:52 <Cepheid> Sort of as if it were a slang for "Finnish Way"
14:53 <Cepheid> I can use IPA, if you'd prefer, Finwe.
14:53 <Cepheid> I for some reason suspect you'd be more familiar with that, than all the sounds of English, Japanese, etc.
14:54 <Cepheid> This book only covers up to 20 minutes, then jumps to 30. Hum. I'm going to assume then, that the 10s of minutes follows the same pattern as the ones position.
14:54 <Finwe> The "e", or "ë", is supposed to sound like "e" in e.g. lend.
14:55 <Cepheid> So next would be yonjuppon, or yonjippun for :40. Then gojuppon and gojippon for :50.
14:56 *** Quits: matttheshadowman (mattthesha@the.shadowy.corners) (Quit: I will return to the shadows)
14:59 <Cepheid> So a better approximation then might be "finua" フィンウア. It's hard to figure out right now as I'm still not good with combination sounds, and examples I've listened to are... weird.
14:59 <Cepheid> Or, as you stated, ue
14:59 <Cepheid> So フィンウエ
15:00 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift would be...
15:00 <Cepheid> コンフシアンリフト or something approximate like that.
15:00 <Cepheid> Depending on how you pronounce 'confusion' anyways.
15:01 <Cepheid> I've heard variations that add a short long e sound between the f and u.
15:01 <Cepheid> Others just transition to a "fu" sound.

15:08 <Cepheid> She made me nervous, I didn't say anything and she wandered off.
15:08 <RazorSharpFang> Suspicious.
15:09 <Cepheid> Sometimes, I wonder if my hairstyle might cause trouble.
15:09 <Cepheid> It kind of has a bad history associated with it.
15:09 <RazorSharpFang> What is your hairstyle?
15:09 <Cepheid> Bald.
15:09 <RazorSharpFang> And here I thought you had a mullet.
15:09 <Cepheid> Nah.
15:09 <Cepheid> I'm balding too much for that.
15:09 <RazorSharpFang> Doesn't your head get cold during the winter?
15:09 <Cepheid> At most, if I have any hair, it's a U-shaped line around my head.
15:09 <Cepheid> Nah.
15:10 <Cepheid> Anyhow, the negative association with it is more historical than anything these days, I think.
15:11 <RazorSharpFang> People shouldn't be judgemental based on hairstyles anyway.
15:11 <Cepheid> The term "skinhead", which is a term for someone who's racist or a nazi supporter/nazi, is associated with people who are bald. Often shaven.
15:11 <RazorSharpFang> I've talked to a few skinheads, they're not happy people.
15:11 <ConfusionRift> Acting by assumption is noooo goooooood.
15:12 <Cepheid> I just shave my head bald because it's more dignified.
15:12 <Cepheid> All the hair on my head has two properties. It curls, and it is either black or white.
15:12 <Cepheid> So I have patches of curling white hair wherever my hair grows in.
15:12 <Cepheid> Also, it dries out rapidly.
15:12 <Cepheid> So it is easier to just keep it short, or shaven off completely.

15:16 <Cepheid> This is true.
15:16 <Cepheid> I legitimately have no idea what that is. I'd assume black leather jacket, black boots, black pants.
15:16 <ADragonHoarding> On the flip side, Sir Patrick Stewart has been deliberately bald for ages.

Most common visualization is that of a massive stream of superheated plasma venting from my back. It emits no force upon me. Don't know exactly what it's meant to represent, but if I had to guess, negative emotions, energy, and the like. *Shrugs* My brain be stupid and weird.

15:32 * Cepheid gets to his right wrist.
15:33 <Cepheid> *Sounds of cars crashing, a wilhelm scream, and ambulances are heard as he cracks his right wrist. Amazingly it doesn't hurt.*
15:34 <Cepheid> For my right hand, I honestly think slamming my wrist multiple times up against a cement pillar damaged it in such a way that prevents me from suffering carpal tunnel syndrome in that hand, in return for some of the loudest cracking one will ever hear from it.
15:34 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, for the left hand, I'm assuming it doesn't suffer carpal tunnel because of how I leave my wrist resting upon a surface, instead of that weird, raised position one is meant to keep it in when doing home-row typing.
15:35 <Cepheid> By developing my own style of typing, I may have avoided the typical symptoms of carpal tunnel that people a decade or so younger than me inexplicably experience.
15:36 <Cepheid> And someone just knocked out the local wifi.
15:38 <Cepheid> Okay, I'm surprised.
15:39 <Cepheid> Apparently, Microsoft's compiler is the first one to have complete C++11, C++14, and C++17 support. GCC and LLVM/clang are missing some C++17 features.

15:40 <Cepheid> Oh, none of the compilers out there appear to have any of the C++11 dynamic pointer safety feature.
15:40 <Cepheid> The garbage collector support, specifically.
15:41 <Cepheid> Also, this only seems to be core compiler support. Library support seems mixed.
15:45 <Cepheid> The network reliability seems to be due to a bunch of folks attending some sort of event.
15:45 <Cepheid> The sudden increase in the number of people seems to break the wifi in the area.
15:50 <Cepheid> Appears the event is called "Abstentions".
15:53 <ADragonHoarding> I've never understood the raised hand thing
15:55 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: 'Rarity's Biggest Fan' - New FiM Short [ http://tinyurl.com/y9q8vv7h ]
15:56 <Cepheid> Neither have I. I look at it, and all I can think, is "that looks uncomfortable."
15:57 <Cepheid> And it is. I have no idea how such a thing came to be. Same goes for home row stuff. That only slows people down and increases risk of mistakes.
15:58 <ADragonHoarding> home row works
15:59 <ADragonHoarding> at least for index and pinky.
15:59 <ADragonHoarding> my fingers usually rest on awef and jio;
15:59 <Cepheid> Okay time to relax. Spent time going over flash cards, making new decks for hourd, minutes and age. Took me 2 anf a half hours. Class in 30, so relax.
15:59 <Cepheid> I legitimately don't know where my fingers rest.
16:00 <Cepheid> I use a particularly convoluted style. Most of my left hand, and at most, the thumb, index and pinky finger on my right hand.
16:01 <Cepheid> It sounds inefficient, but I can easily reach 80 words per minute with a 99% accuracy rate.
16:04 <Cepheid> I appear to be sitting next to my old self.
16:05 <Cepheid> A student writing and studying 2nd-year Japanese. His demeanour however indicates agitation.
16:05 <Cepheid> The kind I used to show. He keeps getting distracted by the students nearby who are talking non-stop in a loud voice. And he looks stressed. About ready to tell ths others to shut up already.
16:07 <ADragonHoarding> Cepheid: see, it is possible to achieve high typing rates with other typing styles, but home row does actually work for the majority of people
16:07 <ADragonHoarding> those people who hit 120 wpm are using home row. the advantage it has is that affords easy access to the whole of the keyboard. with practice, it becomes blisteringly fast.
16:09 <Cepheid> True.
16:09 <Cepheid> I could probably achieve a higher rate if I coukd involve my remaining fingers.
16:10 <Cepheid> But then... The current setup I use may be more of a specialized setup with a purpose.
16:10 <Cepheid> I write code. The most common letters for keywords, and various symbols, may be more accessible to me with this setup.
16:11 <Cepheid> Also the guy next to me. Checked up on him. He is agitated because for his Japanese class, he has to write a daily journal. He doesn't know what to write about.
16:12 <Cepheid> I just went "Just talk about how some random guy started talking to you."
16:13 <Cepheid> I seem to be getting better at that these days.
16:14 <Cepheid> Just up and talking to someone. I use peripheral vision, my weird hearing, and the occasional "sorry to interrupt, but..." to start a conversation.
16:15 <Cepheid> Contrary to what it looks like with me, but I can follow going ons in my peripheral vision. And my hearing allows me to follow conversations whether I want to or not.
16:16 <Cepheid> So I can tell if someone looks stressed, or needs a distraction for a few minutes, and I can join into conversations.
16:17 <Cepheid> As for nervousness... It is still there. Worst case scenario, the person doesn't respond or tells me to shut up. No big deal in that case.
16:18 <Cepheid> Besides, best case scenario, I converse with someone, we have something in common, and I make a friend.
16:18 <Cepheid> Average case, we have some small talk about something in common, and go back to what we were doing.
16:20 <ADragonHoarding> excellent
16:21 <ADragonHoarding> and yeah, daily journal in this case is about practicing with the language, as opposed to writing something you'd necessarily want to distribute for general reading. Write about going to class, what the class topic was, what you did for lunch, etc.
16:24 <Cepheid> Yeah.
16:24 <Cepheid> Speaking of journals I am supposed to be keeping one.
16:25 <Cepheid> Mostly about all the changes I have noticed while on my meds.
16:25 <Cepheid> Fortunately Unixkitty logs everything I say, so I can just go back, grab that and reword it for journal-like purposes.
16:26 <ADragonHoarding> hehehe
16:26 <Cepheid> I need to measure my coffee better though. Something about the stuff I drink at home is making me hyped up like a chihuahua on speed.
16:26 <ADragonHoarding> I heard there's some restrictions on MH World's multiplayer things?
16:26 <Cepheid> What have you heard?
16:27 <Cepheid> I cannot verify without knowing what it is you've heard.
16:29 <ADragonHoarding> something about cutscenes
16:30 <Cepheid> Ah that.
16:30 <Cepheid> You can't have others join you until a certain point on key quests and urgents.
16:31 <Cepheid> You can do a
16:31 <Cepheid> You can do an SOS call after that point. The game announces it.
16:31 <Cepheid> Short cutscenes, like a monster appearing on scene have no such effect.
16:32 <Cepheid> Beyond that... A player session allows a maximum of 16 players.
16:32 <Cepheid> But a quest is limited to 4.
16:33 <ADragonHoarding> ah, so it's just the main questline
16:37 <Cepheid> Yeah. Anyway, lecture time.
16:45 <ADragonHoarding> basically you have to solo until you can do the SOS call, and then the SOS call lets you call in people who have already seen the cutscene.
16:45 <ADragonHoarding> so Cepheid if you do start working your way through those while I'm online let me know and I'll pop in to help wreck shop.

19:12 <Cepheid> I see ITS isn't doing their job today. Wifi is spotty everywhere.
19:12 <PinkieShy> The gain pods are releasing a stronger smell than the regular liquid detergent non-pod form..
19:13 <PinkieShy> Interesting..
19:15 <Ali> Maybe Gain wants in on the tide pod challenge *shot*
19:15 <PinkieShy> >.>
19:17 <PinkieShy> The only tide pod challenge Ali that should have existed is.. If Tide pod cleans better than the regular tide
19:18 <Ali> Pretty much, or better than the competition
