09:32 <Koopz> with the exception that currently only my metabolism is wrecked while the rest of me seems fine

09:34 <RazorSharpFang> Gave a third attempt at running a lard candle. Produced a constant flame this time, but it was a spitting flame, and was inconsistent in size.

09:35 *** Quits: WurstPon1 (brandon@Pony-3t9.q41.227.23.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

09:35 <RazorSharpFang> I think lard candles just don't work on this small a scale. It's either go big or go home.

09:36 * ConfusionRift puts some denatured alcohol in a cup, puts an oil lamp wick, and lights it. "Done." :P

09:37 <RazorSharpFang> Well, I'm using all home-produced ingredients. :>

09:37 <ConfusionRift> Oh, right.

09:38 <ConfusionRift> Lard is... kinda risky. When no longer solid, it could become a pretty bad hazard. Grease flames are very difficult to shut off.

09:39 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, and chicken lard has a lower melting point too.

09:39 <ConfusionRift> Well, chicken is leaner in fat,

09:40 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, you do have to cook more chicken to get the same amount of lard, but this is about finding /a/ use for the lard, which is already considered a waste product.

09:40 <ConfusionRift> True true.

09:41 <RazorSharpFang> The small-scale test worked, but it wasn't particularly great. A larger scale test will probably produce a more consistent flame.

09:44 <RazorSharpFang> The other problem I have is because the lard turns into /liquid/ I have to use a wick that'll stand up without anything to hold it there.

09:46 <ConfusionRift> I'm sure there are wicks that come already covered in wax, which helps them stand on their own.

09:46 <RazorSharpFang> Right, but because wax and lard are similar, the wax might dissolve into the lard.

09:47 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.

09:48 <ConfusionRift> Maybe use some thin wire and tie the wire to the wick with food grade twine? I dunno.

09:49 <RazorSharpFang> As it happens, charcoal is porous enough to function as a solid wick, but it's still very fragile.

09:49 * ConfusionRift nods.

09:52 <ConfusionRift> Maybe adding something to the bottom as weight? And just clip the top of the wick to some wire or something to keep it standing till it solidified.

09:52 <RazorSharpFang> Well, the lard will melt WELL before it burns. It's actually liquid at room temperature.

09:53 <ConfusionRift> Blarg.

09:53 <RazorSharpFang> Tbh I might have more success spraying it mixed with air like a blowtorch.

09:54 <ConfusionRift> Actually...

09:54 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmmmm...

09:57 <ConfusionRift> Okay, never mind. My idea won't work.

09:57 <RazorSharpFang> What was your idea?

10:00 <ConfusionRift> A super easy way to make an alcohol lighter or stove is by using an absorbent material like paper, cotton, or even fiberglass as a sponge. Then use that as a form of wick. Thing is, what burns is not the alcohol, but rather the vapors that come from the alcohol when it gets hot. I was thinking on probably using a similar principle for the candle idea.

10:01 <ConfusionRift> But lard works differently, since the flame uses the lard itself, rather than its byproduct.

10:01 <ConfusionRift> If you try it that way, the flame with burn off the lard AND the absorbent material.

10:10 <ConfusionRift> Interesting. Well, this guy managed to filter the lard into basically pure fat, so it's very much solid.

10:11 <RazorSharpFang> I don't really have anything to filter it with.

10:12 <RazorSharpFang> I'm just hoping the large-scale tests work. I'll be using a steel can as a holder, instead of the tiny candle-holder.

10:12 <ConfusionRift> I think he just heat it up, and separate the fat from the grease. Then kept doing it till it was nothing but the fat.

10:28 <RazorSharpFang> My lard already IS nothing but fat - I've cooled it until the fat solidifies out, and then I can scoop it off the top of the brew.

10:30 <RazorSharpFang> I'll have to save up quite a bit of lard to do a large-scale test though, I burned through all the lard on the small-scale test, with a flame too small to even warm up a cup of water.

10:30 *** Quits: Tirek (Tirek@Pony-74gguf.hzl2.ptd.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Thing is, I don't think it's gonna do much. It will be a persisting flame, but not much else.

10:31 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, I'm hoping that I'll be able to fry an egg on the flame.

10:32 <ConfusionRift> Maybe the wick makes the difference? Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to make a lard stove.

10:33 <RazorSharpFang> It's a liquid fuel, at least my lard, so you could potentially have it auto-refuel from a canister

10:35 <ConfusionRift> The idea is that with a thicker wick more fuel makes its way to the top, making the flame bigger, hopefully.

10:36 *** Joins: Tirek (Tirek@Pony-74gguf.hzl2.ptd.net)

10:36 <RazorSharpFang> Potentially, but I was thinking of more wicks of the same size.

16:48 <Cepheid> So back in January, OC transpo promised up and down that the keys to the LRT would be handed over to Ottawa

16:48 <Cepheid> At the end of March that is.

16:48 <Cepheid> Last night?  "It's now gonna be end of June."

16:49 <Cepheid> And the why?  They are having problems with heating on the trains not working, and apparently in the extreme cold?  Panels are falling off the trains.

16:49 <Cepheid> The trains are falling apart in the cold weather.

16:51 <LibrarianofHope> not to undermine your point, but its sorta cute from a mexican point of view

16:52 <LibrarianofHope> you have authorities who actually care enough to work it

16:52 <Cepheid> I am honestly not taking offense.

16:52 <LibrarianofHope> here they dont care, they just steal and stuff works in the same way a card castle stands

16:53 *** FertileSummer is now known as LadyBlackthorne

16:53 <LibrarianofHope> i wonder why the difference

16:54 <LibrarianofHope> usa has argubly intelligent people running the show bwhind the scenes but they crave power

16:54 <LibrarianofHope> mexican version is just a bunch of utter morons that most people are to busy to care about

16:55 <LibrarianofHope> canada seems like they do care at least

16:56 <Cepheid> Well arguably there are problems with the construction company as well.

16:56 <LibrarianofHope> i feel weird

16:57 <LibrarianofHope> im tired and my arm hurts, the right one

16:57 <Cepheid> The Trudeau government has been caught investing money to cover up and prevent lawsuits against the train company responsible for building the line.  They were also complicit in a major accident a few years back in which a train derailed in a town, caught fire, and exploded, killing numerous people.

16:57 <Cepheid> The train company that is.

16:57 <LibrarianofHope> ok, i retract my previous statement

16:58 <LibrarianofHope> thank you for coming to my press conference

16:58 * LibrarianofHope leaves the conference room

16:59 <Cepheid> I think I might be wrong on that case though.  Lemme investigate to make sure.

17:00 <Cepheid> Okay no.  I'm wrong.

17:00 <Cepheid> The problem is charges of corruption.  Fraud and executives bribing foreign officials.  Moammar Gadhafi.

17:01 <Schism> I was under the impression that the whole construction thing was made up out of whole cloth by the Globe and Mail.

17:01 <Cepheid> The government issues are that all charges were dropped, and there are claims of pressure from the Trudeau government to drop the charges.

17:02 <Cepheid> But yeah.

17:02 <Cepheid> Overall, lots of *yay* going down.

17:02 <Cepheid> Canada is a nice place to live, but the government is just as corrupt as the rest of them.

17:05 <Cepheid> Also, the icing on the cake is what we fine OC and the builders for each delay.

17:05 <Cepheid> 1 million dollars.

17:05 * Schism claps once.

17:05 <Cepheid> Every time they fail to meet the deadline, it is just a puny 1 million.

17:05 <Schism> That's not a fine, that's a pittance.

17:06 <Cepheid> A pittance we riders pay for.  OC is hiking fares soon.

17:06 <Schism> Yeurp.

17:06 <Cepheid> Their reliability is currently under investigation as well because the number of reports of late busses, busses not showing up, canceled trips and the like have spiked considerably.

17:07 <Cepheid> Also busses that have been just driving by with not picking anyone up.

17:07 *** Joins: Quill (Nyah@Pony-jaks4r.res.rr.com)

17:07 <Cepheid> Why just yesterday I had to yell at a driver to open their *bleep* door at a station they just pulled up to.  They were gonna drive off without any of us.

17:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Fanfiction: The Engineer's Wings [ http://tinyurl.com/yyf8jt36 ]

17:08 <Schism> When a 'late bus' reflects more poorly upon a driver than not picking anyone up, then that's to be expected.  Sounds like your standard managerial malfeasance there.

17:08 <Cepheid> Say what you will of the Toronto system, but OC makes Toronto's system look like a godsend.

17:08 <Schism> Even for all my complaints about the KW system, it does sound miles ahead of OCTranspo.  I can't say how well the LRT's going to work yet, though.

17:09 <Cepheid> Is it being handled by SNC-Lavalin?

17:09 <Schism> Shouldn't think so...

17:09 <Schism> Operated by Keolis.

17:10 <Schism> And... ah, GrandLinq Contractors.

17:10 <Cepheid> It'll be fine.

17:11 <Schism> When it eventually comes to fruition, perhaps.  It's been beset by delays and funding balloons due to scope insensitivity and failure to do the research.

17:12 <Schism> They're saying it'll be this spring.  And the trains /are/ in testing.  Buuut...

17:13 <Cepheid> I'm starting to think people need to receive regular training updates for risk assessment, financial management and techology.

17:13 <Cepheid> Because some of these folks are working on knowledge acquired from the early 2000s to as far back as maybe the 80s?

17:13 <Schism> Especially those in charge of the infrastructure.

17:14 <Cepheid> Meaning that their skills are not being kept up to date with advancements in technology and construction techniques/revisions to standards.

17:14 <Cepheid> Anyone in management should be subject to it, Schism.  Like, once wvery 4 or 5 years.

17:15 <Cepheid> Because technology, standards, laws and the like are things that change rapidly.

17:15 <Schism> Absolutely.

17:16 <Cepheid> Giving quick 4-month courses every few years to help keep them up to date on current trends would probably do a lot to reduce issues like delays and failure to meet deadlines.

17:16 <Cepheid> Because, and I don't mean to call folks in managing or financial-relates areas(marketing and sales especially) stupid, but...

17:17 <Cepheid> They set deadlines and make promises based on a flawed, limited or educated guess as to what technology, standards and the like can provide.

17:18 <Cepheid> Anyhow...  Enough whining from me.

17:18 <LibrarianofHope> i went to da generic pharmacys doctor to check while i was feeling weird

17:18 <LibrarianofHope> i have a cold

17:18 <Cepheid> Schism.  My cat does not like the idea of being left with someone else.

17:19 <Schism> Can't imagine why not.

17:19 <Cepheid> Librarian, get to bed.  Drink fluids.

17:19 <LibrarianofHope> im get whined at by my bro cause of it

17:19 <Cepheid> Schism, yesterday we had to take him to the vet for a teeth cleaning at 8 AM.  We had to leave him there until 3 PM.

17:20 <LibrarianofHope> the nice thing is im pretty much ahead of work schedule, so i leaving

17:20 <LibrarianofHope> see ya laters

17:20 *** Quits: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-h1c.afo.207.187.IP) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

17:20 <Cepheid> Apparently he spent the entire time under the towel they put on him mewling sadly.  And when we arrived to pick him up, he was suddenly extremely energetic and happy.

17:21 <Schism> Well, thrust into an unfamiliar location for a long period of time, none of the familiar scents around, it'd make sense.

17:21 <Cepheid> At home, he has been continuously flopping over and asking for belly rubs from me.  He's also purring several times louder than usual.

17:22 <Cepheid> Probably thought we were never coming back.

17:22 <Schism> Mmm.  Like a kid who got lost.

17:24 <Cepheid> I don't think we would ever be able to hand him off to someone else for a long time.

17:24 <Cepheid> I suspect he'd get depressed and stop eating.

17:24 <Schism> Seems that way... well, blast.

17:25 <Cepheid> Some cats are known to starve themselves to death when separated from their owner for extended or permanent periods.

17:25 <Cepheid> And whats up Schism?

17:26 <Schism> Eh.  Nothing really.  Been a little sickly, but that's normal for this time of year and all.

17:27 <Schism> You been doing alright?

17:30 <Cepheid> Great actually.  Got antibiotics for my scalp issue.  Got appointment for my CT scan.  Otherwise I'm doing fine.  My sister is the sick one.

17:30 <Cepheid> She has pneumonia.

17:31 <Schism> Augh.

17:31 <Schism> There any suitable treatment facilities near Igloolik?

17:34 <Finwe> Messrs Cepheid and Schism.

17:34 * Finwe doffs his hat.

17:35 <Cepheid> No.  A small clinic, thats about it.  It isn't equipped or stocked with a lot of medicine either.

17:35 <Cepheid> She would have to go to Iqaluit for major treatments.

17:36 * Schism nods. "I hope it won't come down to that, but considering it's pneumonia..."

17:40 <Cepheid> She got meds for it.  It's a common problem there so they keep antibiotics for it.

17:40 <Cepheid> But yeah she doesn't sound too good.

17:40 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I'm doing great.  Still coughing, but it can be managed with cough syrup and asthma meds.  Have noticed a trend about it though.

17:41 * Finwe feels weary.

17:41 <Finwe> Must be because I woke up at half past five this morning.

17:41 <Cepheid> Seems to get particularly bad after drinking certain things, or eating certain foods.  Like I'm allergic to something I'm consuming.

17:41 * Finwe curls up on Surreal_Nightmares and naps.

17:41 <Schism> hmm.  Time for more scratch tests?

17:43 <Cepheid> Considering it.  But I'd like to try and shrink the possible items.

17:46 <Cepheid> As it is, I only notice i have coughing fits after I eat or drink.  I don't keep track of what it was I ate.

17:47 <Cepheid> And it's not a case of food or water down the wrong hole.

17:47 * Schism nods. "Possibly some spice or another, then."

17:48 <Cepheid> Because it starts like, 5 to 10 minutes after I finish eating.  And it is a sudden and intense production of fluid.

17:48 <Schism> Huh.

17:50 <Cepheid> As for it being a spice, entirely possible.  It mostly happens after dinner, which is one of the few "home-made dishes" I eat.  My parents usually make stuff that is spicy or has spices mixed in a lot.

17:52 <Cepheid> So i should probably keep track of the major meals of the day that I eat, and then put a checkmark after the item in question if I suffer a coughing fit.  Narrow down potential ingredients.

17:53 <Cepheid> Once i got it down to few common factors, I'll go to the doctor and discuss it with him.

17:57 <Cepheid> Meanwhile..

17:57 <Cepheid> I know someone here once mentioned they had a fungal infection in their lungs.  Do you remember who it was?  I want to ask them some questions.

17:58 <Schism> I'm afraid I don't, but I'd not be surprised if that was DashedRainbows.

17:58 <Cepheid> Thats what I was thinking too.

17:59 <Cepheid> Also, this classroom is so incredibly warm I'm not sure I'll be able to stay in it for the entire lecture.  The air tastes foul and weird because of the warmth.

19:43 <Cepheid> The problem with non-conformity is that we conform to a concept that doesn't conform to the accepted standard of the concept.  That is, we conform to a different idea that other people conform to.

19:44 <Cepheid> Being truly non-conformist is difficult, if not impossible.

19:45 <Schism> Indeed it is fnord.

19:46 <Cepheid> Instead of being non-conformist or conformist, just be your bloody self.  Don't try to fit in.

19:47 <Cepheid> Fitting in means accepting concepts and ideals you may not agree with anyways.  It'll leave you conflictes and unhappy.

19:49 * Ali doesn't fit in anywhere!

19:49 <Schism> Don't see much point in fitting in.

19:50 <Schism> Aside from the old adages about nails sticking out and grass growing too high.

19:52 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I am fitting in less and less.  Since the introduction of severe, wildly brain-affecting chemicals, I am slowly loosening up and morphing into more of the kind of person I want to be, regardless of what others expect or want me to be.

19:53 <Cepheid> All I legitimately care about at this point is whether or not my behaviour is breaking local laws, or hurting someone.  In which case I suppress that behaviour.

19:54 <Cepheid> The definition of "hurting someone" however is much larger than it sounds.

19:54 <Cepheid> It is more a collection of my moral thoughts on what is a wrong thing to be thinking or doing in regards to others around me.

19:56 <Cepheid> With clarity in my head, I am becoming an interesting type of person to deal with.

23:23 <Cepheid> Ah that's where the other buzzcut spot is on my cat.

23:24 <Cepheid> They couldn't find a vein for the IV in the first spot so they buzzed down another spot.  First spot is on the front-right leg.

23:24 <Cepheid> Other is on the underside of the lower rear-left leg.

23:26 <LibrarianofHope> thats fairly usual

23:26 <LibrarianofHope> happened to my boi dog when he was a puppy, tended to get sick

23:28 <Cepheid> Fortunately for him it was just dental work.

23:28 <LibrarianofHope> still tricky

23:29 <Cepheid> But he clearly did not like being in an unknown environment without me around.  He's acting as if he thought we abandoned him.  Acting super cuddly.

23:30 <Cepheid> Interestingly his skin colour is not what I expected it to be.

23:33 <Cepheid> It's grey ash-coloured.

23:34 <Cepheid> Like roughly 0.75 on a scale of 0 being pitch black and 1 being pure white.

23:41 <LibrarianofHope> if you just never came back they would miss you and be confused

23:43 <Cepheid> Yeah.  I know my cat would jump to my defense.  And the confusion if I never returned.  I'm more concerned if he would just stop eating.  Cats are known to starve themselves to death because of separation from their owner in some manner.
