00:00 <DashedRainbows> why is it that learning ASL is easier than something I already know

00:00 <DashedRainbows> meh meh meh

00:01 *** Quits: danwellby-1 (danwellby@The.lone.griffon) (Connection closed)

00:02 <Lunalaptop> like i only bought a half a pound of the cheese because 8 bucks for a pound of cheese is steep when you are used to paying like 3.40 a pound

00:02 <DashedRainbows> I miss drinking, in small amounts

00:03 <Lunalaptop> I miss drinking, in large amounts

00:03 <Lunalaptop> lol

00:03 <DashedRainbows> .5 is sttill too mmuch for me

00:03 <Lunalaptop> back in high school i was stupid with how much i drank

00:03 <DashedRainbows> maybe .1

00:03 <DashedRainbows> lb of cheese

00:03 <DashedRainbows> at that price

00:03 <Ali> I miss drinking never

00:04 <Lunalaptop> Back in high school I used to drink Everclear 190, EVERY weekend

00:04 <DashedRainbows> I used to, but I prefer  not to lose my  kidney or get gvh

00:04 <Lunalaptop> I prefer to not go into a coma and die because of my medication having poor reactions with alcohol

00:05 <Lunalaptop> so ive been more or less dry for 8 years

00:05 <DashedRainbows> same,  my anti-rejection meds don't mix

00:05 <Ali> Autism + Booze, I never want to know it

00:05 <Lunalaptop> ill have like a mud slide or a mikes hard lemonade on a special occation

00:05 <DashedRainbows> plus wellbutrin + alcohol = seizure

00:05 <Lunalaptop> hell on my honeymoon i had sake in a restaurant

00:06 <Lunalaptop> But Xanax + Alcohol is a potential coma or death

00:06 <DashedRainbows> Aliis smart unlike past me

00:06 <Lunalaptop> plus i think some of my other meds have poor reactions to alcohol

00:06 <DashedRainbows> sometimes I feel  benzos are the easy way out

00:07 <DashedRainbows> I mean nobody here has seen me at my worst yet somehow I survive

00:07 <Lunalaptop> I get 120 mg of xanax a month, ive felt that way before too but life does get better

00:07 <Lunalaptop> Ali has seen me at close to my worse

00:08 <Lunalaptop> Ali i am sure will be the first to tell you once upon a time I was constantly dancing the line of getting banned

00:08 <DashedRainbows> let's just say last weekend was 40% tlhere

00:08 <Ali> Juuuust a tad

00:09 <Lunalaptop> But, that being said I own how bad i used to be, and i would like to think i have gotten better in the last year or so...is that fair to say Ali?

00:09 <DashedRainbows> after my transplant I haven't had any suicidal episodes so that's sgood

00:09 * Ali guesses, hasn't seen anything too bad

00:10 <DashedRainbows> everyone messes up they're own way

00:10 <DashedRainbows> and ugh english why

00:10 <Lunalaptop> im at the point where im 32, and life finally seems to be falling into place with all the meds im on and being honest with myself about who i actually am

00:11 <DashedRainbows> good I guess

00:11 <Lunalaptop> but it was a long very shaky journey to get there

00:12 <DashedRainbows> I wouldn't say honesty with oneself is key but it helps

00:12 <DashedRainbows> I mean some ppl are in obstinate denial and are happy

00:13 <Lunalaptop> DashedRainbows: I was in the closet with EVERYONE about my gender identity for a long LONG time and healing really didnt start till i was honest with myself and that i was really luna, not just in my private life but in every aspect of my life

00:14 <DashedRainbows> I could be honest, get everyone to hate me, and come off as a jerk

00:14 <Lunalaptop> and no Luna wasnt picked cuz of the princess its a name i picked for myself 16 years ago cuz of my love of sitting under the stars and looking up at the moon

00:14 <DashedRainbows> but meh I'm too wimpy

00:15 <Lunalaptop> oh for a good long time i actively tried to make people hate me

00:15 <DashedRainbows> also thast's not honesty

00:15 <Angie> I've only ever had alcohol twice

00:15 <DashedRainbows> but that's lal I'll say

00:15 <DashedRainbows> class is starting late today

00:15 <Angie> My first taste of alcohol on-purpose was about half a solo cup of 151 Smirnoff

00:16 <Lunalaptop> ohhh thats a strong cup to start on Angie

00:16 <Angie> And my second was to drink against my friend's uncle a few months later

00:16 <Angie> We traded shots of 190 Everclear

00:16 <DashedRainbows> tequila for me

00:16 <DashedRainbows> forget which

00:16 <Lunalaptop> my first was vodka

00:16 <Lunalaptop> simple 80 proof vodka

00:16 <Angie> I like vodka and I like Everclear

00:17 <Lunalaptop> what level of ever clear?

00:17 <Angie> 190 proof

00:17 <Lunalaptop> cuz like i said i was drinking everclear 190 and that was brutal

00:17 <DashedRainbows> apparently 3 shots is enough to make me do emberasing stuff

00:17 <Lunalaptop> 2 shots of E190 was enough to knock me out

00:18 * Angie giggles.

00:18 <Angie> I had six shots

00:18 <DashedRainbows> ik it's bad but I laugh at alcohol for sedation

00:18 <Angie> And according to all my friends, I wasn't even acting buzzed or drunk.

00:18 <Angie> I certainly didn't feel any different

00:18 <DashedRainbows> benzos and opiates ftw

00:18 <Lunalaptop> when i was hitting the 190 i was also about 115 lbs soaking wet

00:18 <DashedRainbows> legallyh ofc

00:18 <Angie> Lunalaptop, I weighed almost three of you at the time

00:19 <Angie> Plus alcoholism runs in the family, so I have a natural resistance

00:19 <Angie> Also, I love D-Dog.

00:19 <Angie> He is best buddy

00:20 <Angie> Sniffs out bad guys through walls, sniffs out medical plants

00:20 <Lunalaptop> im actually kinda happy with my weight right now, I was in the low 100's through high school then some stuff happened 8 years ago and i plumped up to about 350...im sitting at 225 right now and i feel healthy

00:20 <Angie> I'm at ~283 and I'm okay with it

00:21 <Lunalaptop> i couldnt go back down to the low 100's right now cuz my body is going through re-puberty

00:21 <DashedRainbows> Lunalaptop: for me gender identity isn't really an issue. like I know I'm a guy (I do have a Y chromosome after all) and plus I'm asexual so I don't care either way

00:21 <Lunalaptop> oh it was MISERABLE for me DashedRainbows like I knew when i was 13, I chose my name at 16, I then stayed quiet about it till i was 29

00:22 <DashedRainbows> tick tocks when is class starting

00:22 <Lunalaptop> like i tried to cover up so much i grew out this giant bushy duck dynasty beard just to try and cover up to everyone and prove i was a boy to people

00:22 <Lunalaptop> now im sitting here with bright pink hair

00:22 <Lunalaptop> lol

00:22 <DashedRainbows> that said more often than not when I write in first person it ends up being a female character

00:23 *** Joins: Wicked_Wings (IceChat9@Pony-ina1n5.grko.52ro.1004.2600.IP)

00:23 <Lunalaptop> My biggest problem was acceptance from family like Mom I knew would be fine with it

00:24 <Lunalaptop> Dad though, lets just leave it at Dad is a Trump republican

00:24 <DashedRainbows> you have a Y chromosome so really no need to prove anything imo but you feel differently and honestly I get it as a kid I did get that a lot

00:24 * DashedRainbows is not very manly

00:24 <DashedRainbows> acceptence or embrace?

00:25 <Lunalaptop> Dad is.....coming around

00:25 <DashedRainbows> for example myy sis is bi. do I like it hell no, but her life

00:25 <DashedRainbows> do I mock her, no

00:26 <DashedRainbows> and yuck there'- ppl that are just bad at that

00:26 <Wicked_Wings> acceptance for what?

00:26 <Wicked_Wings> sorry, i'm late to the table.

00:27 <Lunalaptop> I think the fact that i married a trans guy helped with him accepting me

00:27 <Lunalaptop> and hes starting to use the correct name so that is nice

00:27 <DashedRainbows> but then again I'm just your run

00:27 <Wicked_Wings> ohhh, i think i follow.  

00:27 <DashedRainbows> of the mill bible wielding idiot

00:28 <Wicked_Wings> sexual preference talk?

00:28 <DashedRainbows> all I know for sure is I don't like guys orr girls

00:28 <Wicked_Wings> @DashedRainbows:  sounds like a good description of Asexual.

00:29 <DashedRainbows> ik

00:29 <Lunalaptop> I was discussing my struggle with gender identity and stuff Wicked_Wings

00:29 <DashedRainbows> but even that I don't dare tell my dad

00:29 <DashedRainbows> he's rly old fashioned

00:30 <DashedRainbows> Igtg

00:30 <Wicked_Wings> @Lunalaptop:  i also am a Trump Republican.  i'm also southern baptist.  however, i will say this.  it is neither my job nor my wish to give you, or anyone who so chooses, any kind of grief over your preferences.

00:30 <Wicked_Wings> we were all created with free will

00:30 <Lunalaptop> later DashedRainbows

00:30 <Wicked_Wings> and the Bible says to love thy neighbor as thyself.  it does not say 'unless'

00:31 <Wicked_Wings> therefore, i don't care if you're red, yellow, black, white, transgender, asexual, homosexual, pansexual.... doesn't matter.  what matters is who you /are/

00:31 <Lunalaptop> Wicked_Wings: he went from being a die hard Pence follower as far as this specific topic goes, to being reasonably accepting

00:31 <Wicked_Wings> pence is a good vp, but he's Christian extremist.  

00:31 <Wicked_Wings> if he read the bible like he claims to, he'd know it says LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.

00:32 <Wicked_Wings> it doesn't have provisions on people.  as a christian we are supposed to love unconditionally.

00:32 <Wicked_Wings> i may be straight, and only interested in women, but that doesn't mean i must foist my belief on those who feel differently.

00:33 <Lunalaptop> and I will say as an agnostic that I will respect anyones religious beliefs as long as they are respectful

00:33 <LunaNightwind> Respect me and you get the same from me

00:34 <Wicked_Wings> agreed.  i'm what's known as a progressive christian.  i believe that Christ loved all unconditionally.  that's why i do the same.  that's why i punched a former friend in the face when he was harrassing two lesbians at a bar.

00:34 <Wicked_Wings> he was wrong.  and he said 'why did you do that, i thought you were a christian and nonviolent'

00:34 <Wicked_Wings> i told him 'god's busy with other stuff, so i helped him out.'

00:35 <Wicked_Wings> different means different, not wrong.  if more people understood that tidbit, this world would be a much better place.

00:35 <Wicked_Wings> let gays be gay, let straights be straight, let the gun lovers have guns, let the climate change people have their stuff.

00:36 <Wicked_Wings> i disagree with forcing everyone into one ideal.  we're all entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:36 <Wicked_Wings> if a man makes you happy, go for it.  

00:36 <Wicked_Wings> if having seven wives and a goat lover makes you happy, hey, do your thing.

00:36 <Wicked_Wings> what ISN'T cool is treating others badly because they're different.

00:37 <Wicked_Wings> how's that for a republican.  i could teach your dad a few things.

00:37 *** Quits: Lunalaptop (Lunalaptop@Pony-acfiub.nh.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

00:37 <LunaNightwind> Ill disagree with the goat just because I believe that consent should always be paramount thats just respect to me

00:37 <LunaNightwind> and animals cant consent

00:37 <Wicked_Wings> true.

00:37 <Wicked_Wings> bad example, but my point is that people shouldn't bash others for differences in opinion and taste.

00:38 <Wicked_Wings> if we all liked red-headed women, all drove ford f150 trucks, and all worked at a cookie factory, it'd be a boring world.

00:38 <LunaNightwind> but i will agree with you on everything else, gay straight bi pan asex trans it shouldnt matter whats in your bedroom or in your pants thats my take on it

00:38 <Wicked_Wings> ^what you do with who you do it with is all you.  it's not my right, or anyone elses, to try to stop you.

00:38 <LunaNightwind> :-)

00:39 <Wicked_Wings> in fact, i'd be the guy decking the guy talking smack to you.

00:39 <LunaNightwind> I shall return its 830 pm and i havent eaten at all today i gotta get something but i SHOULD return

00:39 <Wicked_Wings> getchu some food man, don't let your body starve.  s'unhealthy.

00:42 <LunaNightwind> im back

00:42 <LunaNightwind> and its not letting my body starve its a matter of my meds can cause a lack of appetite and if i dont remember to eat i dont eat

00:42 <LunaNightwind> its for that reason i try to always have quick heat meals in the house

00:44 *** Joins: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP)

00:44 <LunaNightwind> but I am on meds for so much crap it dumb

00:46 <Wicked_Wings> yeah i used to be on medicine for ADHD

00:46 <Wicked_Wings> it turned me into a zombie

00:46 <Wicked_Wings> so i quit taking it.

00:47 <Wicked_Wings> now i've learned to live with my disorder

00:51 <LunaNightwind> PTSD, Agoraphobia, Trauma syndrome, gender dysphoria, generalized phobia of males and females, schizophrenia, dissassociative identity disorder (multiple personalities) among other things

00:52 <LunaNightwind> I cant just live with my disorder

00:52 <Wicked_Wings> yeaaaaaaah.... mine just makes me hyperactive and unable to focus.

00:53 <DashedRainbows> and I is back

00:53 <DashedRainbows> easy 1st part

00:53 <LunaNightwind> yeah ADHD...i was diagnosed with when i was young but never got treated for it

00:56 * Ali deals with her autism.. but every profession just calls it a 'kids disease' and to get over it.

00:56 <LunaNightwind> but that was 22 years ago that i was diagnosed with ADHD when EVERYONE was getting dianosed with it

01:14 * Cepheid awakens, screaming something about a haunted city covered in mist. Oh, and moon's haunted.

01:19 <PinkieShy> Is thaat from Destiny 2 or something?

01:22 <Cepheid> Originally from Twitter.  Associated with Destiny 2 by comic about Destiny 2.  Later used by Bungie on a dare and with prrmission for their latest expansion.  Which takes place on....  The moon.

01:22 * Ali flops over the Cepheid

01:26 <Cepheid> I am aware of the new version of factorio.

01:26 <Ali> I wasn't!

01:27 <Cepheid> Hrh.

01:27 <Cepheid> Heh*

01:27 <Cepheid> I'll update the server tomorrow.

01:32 <LunaNightwind> hey Cepheid hope you are having a good night

01:34 <Cepheid> So-so.  Woke up from a five hour sleep just to eat a bit, take antibiotics, then head straight back to bed.

01:34 <Cepheid> Gonna go in to school tomorrow come hell, high water, or horrible body agony.

01:35 *** Angie is now known as Dranae

01:35 * Dranae sits next to Cepheid. Wraps a great big feathery wing over them. This will make them warm and comfy.

01:37 <Cepheid> I appreciate the concern.  That said this is a normal, regular occurrence for me.  I'm cursed. o3o

06:37 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:37 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:38 <ConfusionRift> ...sorry. Didn't realize... I really am out of it today.

06:38 <Wicked_Wings> you okay bud?

06:38 * Dranae flops atop a Googie bug.

06:39 <ConfusionRift> Just work and such.

06:39 <Wicked_Wings> need to talk about it?  i find that talking about a stressor helps to deal with it

06:40 <ConfusionRift> Nah. It's just the usual mess. It would feel like a broken record. I'm fine, just tired.

06:42 <Wicked_Wings> ok, but i'm here for a little while if you change your mind.

06:42 * Wicked_Wings is a good listener.

06:43 <ConfusionRift> To all of you working, or thinking of working (don't know why) at Walmart, it is confirmed. They will be reducing dept. manager positions and have them more as "team leaders", and department associates will be condensed from one team each to 3-4 teams into one.

06:44 <ConfusionRift> It'll be happening some time next year.

06:45 <Wicked_Wings> so.... people are going to be without jobs?

06:46 <ConfusionRift> No. It just means they will be condensing into larger teams. As for dept. managers, to my understanding, they have to choice of stepping down or transferring.

06:47 <ConfusionRift> That is if they space gets too packed for them to stay.

06:47 <Wicked_Wings> 'stepping down' as in taking a demotion?

06:47 * ConfusionRift nods.

06:48 <ConfusionRift> *the choice

06:48 <ConfusionRift> I'm not one, but I'll hate if they decide to just grab other people as dept. managers.

06:49 <ConfusionRift> Actually, now that I think of it, there's a chance they will be letting go some people.

06:49 <Wicked_Wings> if they step down, do they get a pay cut as well?  that seems highly unfair, since they're trained to a higher standard than the regular employee

06:49 * ConfusionRift nods

06:50 <Wicked_Wings> very uncool.

06:50 <Wicked_Wings> walmart seems to be inserting their heads up their tails very far.

06:50 * Wicked_Wings has to watch his wording here, this is a pg channel

06:51 <ConfusionRift> They're trying to ease the workload for assist. managers and dumping more on the associates.

06:51 * ConfusionRift gasps. "You said... tail." :P

06:52 <Wicked_Wings> that also seems unfair to the associates.

06:52 <Wicked_Wings> i assume the associates will not be receiving pay raises to go along with the new amount of work?

06:52 * ConfusionRift laughs.

06:53 <Wicked_Wings> i.... said something funny?

06:53 * ConfusionRift laughs maniacally.

06:54 <ConfusionRift> Oh... sorry. Thought it was funny. Nope, no payment change.

06:58 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I think the payment hike is what's killing everyone. "You're getting paid way above minimum, so you're expected to work as such."

06:58 <ConfusionRift> Don't matter when they don't give the hours.

06:59 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and forget about full time. Nowadays, that's a privilege.

07:06 <ConfusionRift> I think I'm more worried about what's coming soon. Like, real soon.

07:16 <Wicked_Wings> what's coming real soon

07:19 <ConfusionRift> The rush months. It starts at the end of October (Halloween) and ends around the end of February (some time after Valentine's).

07:31 <Wicked_Wings> fun.

07:33 <Wicked_Wings> well, i am going to sleep.  i've been awake for nearly 19 hours straight.  i am becoming delirious.

11:14 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)

11:19 <Cepheid> Dunno how much time I have left, but good morning.

11:20 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.

11:20 <Cepheid> How goes it?

11:21 <ConfusionRift> Doing alright, was playing earlier. Kinda chillin' for now.

11:22 <Cepheid> Cool.  Just sitting on a train right now myself.  Today should be interesting.  I decided to stop taking all my usual painkillers as they aren't good for my liver, and I'm sick, to boot.

11:23 <ConfusionRift> Uuuurgh. Sucks.

11:26 <Cepheid> It's the usual culprit.  Sinus infection worsening.  So nothing I'm unfamiliar with.  Got antibiotics.

11:26 <ConfusionRift> Having to deal with sickness, and in a sardine can with a lot of people to boot. I suppose a lot of fluid should help.

11:27 <Cepheid> Not a sardine can  actually.

11:27 <Cepheid> Ottawa is only 1 mill people.  Not like the US where populations are in the tens of millions in the worst cases.

11:28 <Cepheid> End rrsult is that while there are people standing, there is a lot of breathing room and open space.

11:29 <Cepheid> Exception to this would be line 2 during the busy hours.  Line 2 is getting a little out of date.  Only two-car trains.  And it ferries a lot of students leaving from, and going to, a university campus.

11:30 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, line 1 goes straight across the city, and uses four-car, 2-wagon trains.

11:30 <Cepheid> And has enough trains that one would just have to wait a grand total of four minutes maximum for the next train.

11:31 <Cepheid> Aside from hiccups here and there as a result of being entirely brand new, it is working out pretty great.

11:32 <Cepheid> Biggest thing that needs fixing are the doors, and for the command center to get back to it's satellite folks for information.

11:35 <Cepheid> Apparently the motors on the doors burn out easily if forcd is applied to them from an external source.  That is, if someone grabs the doors and pulls them open, they break and the train has to go to get repaired.

11:36 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, when things break down, the personnel often have no idea what's going on because their superiors don't say anything.

11:37 <Cepheid> You know, I wonder.  Had my parents got me toy train sets, woukd I have enjoyed them?  I seem to like trains.  And logistics in general.

11:38 *** Joins: coppertiger (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net)

11:39 <Cepheid> Prolly why I like Factorio.  Despite its shortcomings.  I want overpasses/underpasses for trains.

11:39 <Cepheid> So I can create some gnarly looking junctions.

11:40 <Cepheid> Only way it could work right now is through disabling collision checks when approaching certain types of intersections.

11:47 <ConfusionRift> You know, never really got into trains. As in, really got in-depth with railing and route logistics in Factorio. Always wanted to, but then I jumped into the tutorial... and that was pretty lengthy. :P

11:49 <ConfusionRift> I know, the game gives you a routing map when placing lights and such, but at times it doesn't go as expected and never really got as to why.

11:51 <Lumindia> hey, hey guess what everyone?

11:51 <Cepheid> Yeah.  It takes a bit of practice.  It's made worse by thr lack of overpasses and underpasses.

11:51 <Cepheid> Whats up Lumindia?

11:52 <Lumindia> you're all lovely people and I hope your days go well

11:52 <Lumindia> o vo

11:52 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:52 <ConfusionRift> :P

11:52 <Lumindia> that's been my thing, going into discord servers, asking that question, then giving that response

11:52 <Cepheid> I'll see you guys in a bit.  Phone's about to die and I need to wander anyways.

11:53 <ConfusionRift> Okaday.

12:01 <Cepheid> Back.

12:01 * ConfusionRift wavies.

12:05 <Cepheid> I'm not sure if it's an addiction to something, but man is my body freaking out today.

12:06 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

12:06 <ConfusionRift> Could be. You kinda cut the pain killers fast.

12:07 <ConfusionRift> Or at least developed some form of dependency.

12:09 <Cepheid> I only took aleve, though.  It's not addictive.

12:10 <ConfusionRift> Was it prescribed?

12:12 <Cepheid> No.  I took it on a daily basis as per my own choice to keep the pain down.

12:12 <ConfusionRift> Whoa... eeerm, those side effects are... hmmm.

12:12 <Cepheid> Yeah.

12:12 <Cepheid> That's why I stopped.

12:12 <Cepheid> I figured it's not good for me, so I'm just gonna apply various other, less destructive treatments.

12:12 <Cepheid> Nasal sprays, nasal rinses, etc.

12:14 <ConfusionRift> Eerm, it's not really for sinuses though.

12:15 <Cepheid> No, it's not.

12:15 <Cepheid> But it stops inflammation, which causes the headaches.

12:16 <ConfusionRift> And because is affects blood flow in order to soothe the pain and inflammation, there's a chance that a quick cut might cause some imbalance. Not saying it's certain, but it happens.

12:17 <ConfusionRift> It should clear out anyways.

12:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'll be fine.

12:22 * Cepheid decides to check see if it's possible to force an inventory of a wagon to accept only certain types of items.

12:22 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to use the item feeding function as an inventory filter for it.

12:24 <Cepheid> I want specifically to make logistics of trains a bit more interesting.

12:24 <Cepheid> As it is, cargo wagons can hold anything.

12:24 <ConfusionRift> I know. You want to make wagons that hold specific items.

12:25 <ConfusionRift> Like, making a special wagon that only carries specific good, like it TTD. Right?

12:26 <Cepheid> You can set filters in the wagon inventory.  Not directly in the game, but through scripts.  And yes.

12:26 <ConfusionRift> Oh, okaday.

12:27 <Cepheid> Basically, all I need to do now is figure out if I can apply a filter via the entity description files.

12:31 <Cepheid> My guess is, it's not.  It's probably something hardcoded into the type of entity.

12:33 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

12:33 <Cepheid> This game doesn't quite use the best entity system.

12:33 <Cepheid> It uses a hierarchal setup, instead of say, an ECS.

12:34 <Cepheid> So various classes in Lua have all these accessible attributes, but whether or not they can be accessed is dependent on the underlying data type.

12:34 <Cepheid> For example, you can call get_inventory() on any LuaEntity, but if said entity doesn't have an inventory to begin with, it'll just return nil.  And there are a lot of entities without inventories.

12:35 <Cepheid> One way around it would be to listen for an "on build entity" event, check if it's a cargo wagon, then set the appropriate filters based on the cargo wagon type.

12:35 <Cepheid> Which can be encoded in the name.

12:37 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, for overpasses and underpasses..

12:37 <Finwe> Mr Cepheid.

12:37 * Finwe doffs his hat.

12:38 <Cepheid> Finwe.

12:40 <Cepheid> Officially, the only approach I can think of is to either put an event trigger for when a train crosses a rail segment barrier, to check see if the next segment is a bridge/underpass segment.  If it is, then as each car of the train goes over the segment, it becomes invisible to the pathing system, then becomes visible again as it leaves the segment.  Also, disable collision detection.

12:41 <Cepheid> Which can result in weirdness where the player can stand on that segment and never get hit by trains.

12:41 <Cepheid> THere's a mod that does what I want, but I don't like how it looks.  o3o;  I also don't want to cheat and see how they did it.

12:42 <Cepheid> That said, that approach is not viable.  Collision box is read-only.

12:44 <Schism> Mornin'.

12:44 * Schism flops in.

12:45 <Finwe> Mr Schism.

12:45 * Finwe doffs his hat.

12:47 * Cepheid checks mod, just for the sake of understanding.

12:47 *** Joins: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)

12:49 <Cepheid> Hum.  This mod doesn't make any sense with how it works. o3o

12:50 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

12:51 <Cepheid> Hmm.

12:54 <Cepheid> It looks like if an entity has multiple "rail" definitions associated with it, each one is treated as distinct, allowing for situations where, if two rail definitions cross one another, the game handles it sanely just fine.  Whether a bug or not remains to be seen, especially since the game doesn't like it when trains self-intersect.

12:55 <Cepheid> And apparently, when dealing with these special segments, if a train enters it a second time while it is in the segment, it self-intersects anyways.

12:55 <Cepheid> As a result, the train just stops, even if part of it is meant to be on the "lower" rail.

12:56 <Cepheid> Straight up, in order to do overpasses and underpasses, it'd probably require something more akin to SKSE.

12:56 <Cepheid> I'd need to create an executable that hijacks the game's pathfinding and collision detection routines to override their behaviour so that special cases can be added in.

13:02 <Cepheid> Why do people assume headphones = "I'm trying to ignore you all?"

13:02 *** Quits: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

13:06 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

13:06 <Cepheid> Right, I gotta reboot.  System update to avoid system breakage everywhere.

13:07 <Cepheid> I kind of wonder what was sacrificed in order to get such fast reboot/boot times

13:11 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

13:11 <Cepheid> I'm annoying you aren't I, ConfusionRift?

13:12 <ConfusionRift> Not really, why? o_0

13:12 <Cepheid> You keep shrugging to everything I'm talking about. :P

13:12 <ConfusionRift> Oh... repeated responses... sorry. :P

13:12 <Cepheid> Heh.

13:13 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, time to do some work.  o3o

13:14 <ConfusionRift> I honestly have no clue why is the newer OS booting faster. Well, in my case, it's an SSD.

13:15 <Cepheid> I have an SSD as well, but even then..

13:15 <Cepheid> It still boots faster than my PC at home.

13:16 <Cepheid> My guess is, being a laptop with a set design, they stripped unecessary code for parsing and initializing hardware.

13:16 <ConfusionRift> Might be less on-boot software?

13:16 <Cepheid> So no need to query the bus for any special hardware, etc.

13:18 <Cepheid> The thing about laptops and PCs, is that PCs are extremely generic.  Laptops, not so much.  A laptop is closer to a console than it is a PC.

13:18 <Cepheid> Most of the hardware is integrated onto the system board.  Only a few components are separate.

13:18 <Cepheid> As far as I know, these components are... RAM, wireless card, and hard drives.

13:20 <ConfusionRift> In most circumstances, yeah.

13:20 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

13:21 <Cepheid> Though some components are becoming less integrated.  Especially in full-size laptops.

13:21 <Cepheid> This laptop of mine is not a full-sized laptop, so the only components that can be changed are RAM, storage, and wireless card.

13:21 <Cepheid> Speaking of laptop wireless cards...

13:21 <Cepheid> I hate them.

13:22 <ConfusionRift> Is it a "wireless module"?

13:24 <Cepheid> It's a wireless module, yeah.  My complaint is more the antenna connections.

13:24 <Cepheid> Those little connectors are a PAIN to work with.

16:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Post-Finale Music: Koron Korak - Follow the Little Light [Orchestral] [ http://tinyurl.com/yxnpl5sv ]

16:02 <Cepheid> I want to injure myself.  I can't contain the emotions anymore.  I need to let them out, but I don't want to end up in the hospital again.  I don't want to repeat the cycle.  I just want to empty the rage within me, and get back to work.  And I don't know what to do.

16:02 <Cepheid> Since no matter where I go, someone will call security on me.

16:05 <Cepheid> Gotta play by the rules.  Be nice.  Don't start fights, incidents, don't hurt myself.  Friggen ridiculous, really.

16:07 <Cepheid> If people actually gave a damn, they would just let me get it over with and move on without worrying about me.  It's the only approach that works for making me feel better.  But nah.  Gotta find alternative ways.  Bottle it all up.  Talk about things when they get to me.  Waste of time.

16:08 <Cepheid> It is cyclical.  It will happen again, and again, and again.  There is no stopping it.

16:09 <Cepheid> Stop telling me how to handle something you know nothing about, haven't experienced, have no comprehension of what it feels like.  The fear.  The self-hatred.  That endlessly running furnace.  It. Will.  Not.  Stop.

16:09 <Cepheid> Be all analytical on me if you want.  But nothing that is suggested as an alternative will work

16:11 <Cepheid> It isn't.anger management.  It is frustration.  It is self-hatred for who and what I am.  It is an unending desire to suffer, to punish myself, the belief that it is what I deserve, evidence be damned.

16:11 <Cepheid> The more I contain it, the worse the outburst is.  But no, not allowed to vent it.  Have to hold it in.

16:12 <Wicked_Wings> are... you okay?

16:12 <Cepheid> It is hatred for myself.  Hatred for my parents for not punishing me like I deserve.  It is hatred for people constantly trying to encourage me I to believing I'll do better, thus perpetuating the cycle.

16:12 <Cepheid> No.  I am not okay.

16:13 <Cepheid> But I have no choice but to endure.  Any help I seek will land me in places that do eff all to help.

16:14 <Cepheid> I want this to end.  But no one will let me end it on my own terms.  I'll continue living as usual, maybe with a good, bruised or broken hand.  But that isn't allowed.  Everyone doesn't want to see me get hurt.  At the same time, they have this conflicting desire to see me get better.

16:16 <Wicked_Wings> i'm sorry to hear that.  nobody wants to see you hurt because nobody wants to wish ill upon someone.  nobody who isn't a murderer, anyway.

16:16 <Cepheid> It makes no sense to me.  People want me to get better.  But then theh stop me under the auspices of me not injuring myself.  Why?

16:17 <Cepheid> Why do people insist I not get better with their conflicting comments and behaviour?

16:18 <Cepheid> Do you know me better than I?  Are you an expert on what's best for me?  If you knew me better than I know myself, then I'd like to hear why I am like this.  Because clearly you know me better than I know myself, so you must know.

16:18 <Cepheid> This is why I can't have friends.  I'm too much trouble for them to take care of.  And they only get in the way of what's best for me.

16:21 <Cepheid> I have work I need to do.  Can't deal with this.  Gotta do something.

16:21 <Cepheid> Gotta be somewhere I can go where people won't see me injure myself.

16:23 <Cepheid> There is way too many people here.

16:28 <Cepheid> No matter where I go, prying eyes.  Endless amounts of students.

16:28 <Cepheid> Professors, TAs, security.

16:30 <Cepheid> Bah.  Fine, I got no other recourse.  Just gonna suppress it and get back to work.

16:38 <Cepheid> Man, people really are friggen helpless without me, aren't they?  Getting harassed by my group mates who can't bloody figure out anything on their own.

16:40 <Cepheid> As if I already didn't have a bad enough headache.  Sinus headache is spreading all across my face and is agonizing.  Still not enough to sate the self-punishment.

16:47 * DashedRainbows boops Ali's horn repeatedly

16:48 <Cepheid> There's no point in me staying here.  No matter where I go, there are chatterboxes who don't understand the concept of being quiet.

17:35 <Wicked_Wings> you just need a firmer grasp on time management

17:35 <Cepheid> Yeah.  What of it?  I get Ds and Cs.  No one would hire me with marks like that.

17:36 <Cepheid> Oh my gods is this really happening again?

17:36 <LibrarianofHope> im not doing the hope thing, its just logic

17:36 <Wicked_Wings> passing is passing.  you know the material.  if you're getting passing marks without studying, just set yourself a few hours a day to study.  and this is logic.  logic says study time brings c's and d's up to a's and b's

17:36 <Wicked_Wings> cold hard logic:  20 minute study sessions, because the human brain takes in the most information in the first 20 minutes

17:37 <Cepheid> The only way I will succeed is if I cut out everything that distracts me.

17:37 <Wicked_Wings> take a break between.  40 minute break.  gives your mind the time it needs to recharge.

17:37 <Wicked_Wings> go back to it for another 20 minutes.

17:37 <Wicked_Wings> rinse and repeat.  it's a proven study tactic.

17:37 <LibrarianofHope> i agree with that cepheid

17:37 <ADragonHoarding> I unfortunately can't weigh in heavily

17:37 <Cepheid> You know.  I know how to study.  I do it.  I still screw up anyways.

17:37 <Wicked_Wings> how do you study

17:38 <ADragonHoarding> but "cut out all distractions" only works in small amounts

17:38 <Cepheid> Nah.

17:38 <ADragonHoarding> "work all the time" leads to burnout

17:38 <Cepheid> I have to remove it all.

17:38 <Wicked_Wings> you can't cut everything but studying out of your life.  then you get mental burnout, and studying doesn't help at that point.

17:38 <Cepheid> I have no concept of enough is enough.

17:38 <LibrarianofHope> doing things in absolutes will make you feel sick

17:38 <LibrarianofHope> if you are sick you will fail anyway

17:38 <ADragonHoarding> I can't force you to agree with me

17:38 <Cepheid> Oh for the love of...

17:39 <ADragonHoarding> but what I see you espousing is a recipe for burnout. I'm not saying to not cut out certain things

17:39 <Wicked_Wings> removal of ^

17:39 <Wicked_Wings> woops

17:39 <Wicked_Wings> i mean ^

17:39 <Wicked_Wings> agree with dragon

17:40 <Cepheid> I would rather burn out than waste my time doing frivilous crap when I should be working to make a future for myself and anything I care about.

17:40 <ADragonHoarding> Burnout is counterproductive.

17:41 <Cepheid> So is playing video games, reading, sleeping, and so on.

17:41 <ADragonHoarding> reading is necessary to learn. sleeping is necessary to live.

17:41 <LibrarianofHope> videogames are a good thing to remove yes

17:41 <LibrarianofHope> it would be great to remove sleep as need actually

17:42 <ADragonHoarding> This is not something that can be done.

17:42 <LibrarianofHope> nope, not sleeping can kill you

17:42 <Cepheid> I can reduce the amount I get.

17:42 <ADragonHoarding> Do not reduce to less than 7.

17:42 <ADragonHoarding> It is unhealthy and harms your ability to learn.

17:43 <Cepheid> In any case, my sole purpose for existing is to write code.  If I can't do that, or can't prove I can do that, then I may as well not be alive.

17:43 <LibrarianofHope> you still need something to prevent burnout, even the one thing

17:43 <ADragonHoarding> If you wish to write code, make sure you sleep and eat.

17:43 <LibrarianofHope> you wont be able to write code if you burnout

17:43 <LibrarianofHope> its an issue of bioligy, not of will

17:44 <Cepheid> This is a waste of my time.

17:44 <ADragonHoarding> Starving yourself and making plans to not sleep is indeed a waste of your time.

17:44 <Cepheid> Instead of arguing with a wall, I could have been reading my textbook.

17:45 <ADragonHoarding> Have you eaten anything today? Have you drank water?

17:45 <Cepheid> Yes.

17:45 <ADragonHoarding> My main worry is that you were espousing neglecting basic needs.

17:45 <ADragonHoarding> Please do not neglect basic needs.

17:46 <Cepheid> I have work to do.  I'll be back later.

18:21 <Cepheid> It's not stress either.  It's the sinus infection.  Don't ask how I am certain of this.

18:23 <ADragonDreaming> I approve of this plan.
