02:13 * PrincessRainbows runs around barking and whinnying

02:26 * Schism wraps Sleeping_Nightmares in burritos and provides plenty of seasoning.

02:26 <Schism> (Wuv.)

02:27 * Ali curls into Schism and yawns

02:27 * Schism also snugs the Ali, then attempts to get some sleep. This... is a difficult task.

02:29 * PrincessRainbows kicks at her collar and noses Ali

02:29 * Ali grabs PrincessRainbows and snuggles

02:35 * PrincessRainbows pants and boops ali

02:37 <Schism> May I please note that this is how public domain should actually WORK?  In general?  https://guides.library.ubc.ca/c.php?g=698822&p=4961440#s-lib-ctab-15622469-1

02:38 <Schism> 50 years is plenty of time, and while many will consider it to be a little much, at least that pin is -there.-

02:38 <Schism> I am annoyed that Heinlein's works won't be available for a long while yet, but at least I know they will be.

02:41 <Schism> It's a bad sign that now I kind of want to curate a free library for my coworkers.

02:46 <Schism> In another few years, JRR Tolkien's works will hit public domain status in Canada.  Looking forward to that.

02:47 * Ali flops over the Schism, fears we lost the Shimmerbutt

02:48 <Schism> We've lost her before, we'll get her back eventually, I'm sure.

02:48 <Schism> As shimmerbutty as ever.

02:48 <Ali> But for this long?  Their account will be dropped in a few more weeks

02:48 <Schism> Mlrp.  Hopefully they'll come back.  :<

02:50 <Ali> !seen SunsetShimmer

02:50 <DerpyBot> Ali: The last time I saw SunsetShimmer was 2019-11-01 05:22:52 UTC

02:50 * Schism whrfs. "Hopefully they're okay."

02:54 * Ali nibbles on Schism ankles, a nid update is soon approaching, prepare your ankles to be nommed

02:58 <Schism> I shall gird my ankles.

02:58 * PinkieShy hugs Ali

02:59 * Ali leans into the PinkieShy hugs

02:59 <Schism> Fnark, even Ray Bradbury died in 2012.  It's not like I'm especially het up about them dying so late, but why have all the really good sci-fi authors died within my lifetime?

03:00 * Ali ponyshrugs

03:01 <Schism> Meanwhile, Pterry contracted early-onset Alzheimer's and died fastish.  Gods damnit all.

03:01 <Schism> C.S. Lewis died in 1963, he's fair game.

03:02 <Schism> But one reading of Narnia is quite enough.

03:03 <Schism> I'm of half a mind to subject my coworkers to the fine prose of Timothy Dexter.

03:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: New Models for the Giant Pony Statues Over on Asia  [ http://tinyurl.com/uvzlgke ]

03:06 <Schism> "A combination of the best of e.e. cummings and James Joyce..."

03:08 <Schism> The man himself was made of sheer, distilled luck.

03:20 <PinkieShy> Finally shaved my legs after like 7 months of not shaving them.. I missed them being this smooth XD

03:22 <PrincessRainbows> Different strokes I guess

03:22 <PinkieShy> Just takes a long time to get them this way.. >_>

03:22 * Cepheid taps Spitfire on the nose for chewing on a cable. Watches him back off, all offended looking.

03:22 <Schism> Well, they're just -there-.  Obviously they're meant to be nommed upon.

03:23 <Cepheid> Same when my head and beard grow too long.  That is, too short for clippers to trim down, too long for razors to shave in one pass cleanly.

03:24 <Schism> I reiterate also that HDB's US team can jump in a volcano.

03:24 <Schism> Not the Housing and Development Board.

03:27 <Schism> Rather, the company existing in Portland, Oregon, who make the majority of their profits off buying our product and reselling it overseas.  While they provide us with a reasonable amount of dosh in turn, the amount of time they spend tying up our phone lines and making our customers angry at us is beyond the pale.

03:27 <Schism> Goodwill is a thing, and they sap it like a syrup distillery.

03:32 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/plastiboo/status/1198773875485630469?s=19

03:33 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/JennyJinya/status/1198631966343606276?s=19

03:34 <Schism> Awrr...

03:35 <Cepheid> It has a happy ending of sorts.  But yeah, black cats get unfair treatment due to superstition.

03:36 <Schism> Yup.  :<

03:36 <Schism> Have something slightly cuter.  https://twitter.com/buitengebieden_/status/1198684358925783042

03:39 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, you'd find a cat sleeping atop one of the sheep.  Or making biscuits on one.

03:39 <Schism> They're eating him!  And then they're going to eat me!  Oh my gooooooooooooo  https://twitter.com/Naturanotitia/status/1197417355560865792

03:41 <PrincessRainbows> Cool

03:44 <Cepheid> Heh.

03:47 <Cepheid> I wish I could slide Spitfire up to my chest so I could hug him.  But if I did, he'd run off.

03:54 <Schism> "What idiot called it the Cybertruck, and not the Man-Delorean?"

03:56 <Cepheid> The idiot who didn't want to face the single worst event in the entirety of their life: A Disney lawsuit.

03:57 <Schism> Yeah yeah.  Though I have a still better name for it: the Angle Grinder.

04:03 * Ali snugs into Cepheid and Schism. At least tries to

04:05 * Cepheid is crushed under the combined volume and mass of a cat, a pony, a sweater, two blankets, and a dust bunny.

04:06 * PrincessRainbows flops on Ali. Magic horsey!

04:07 * PinkieShy hugs PrincessRainbows

04:10 <PrincessRainbows> Another magic horsey!

04:10 * PrincessRainbows boops PinkieShy's horn

04:10 <Schism> On consideration, this is very much a Luna song.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xz4NV0zsbY

04:12 <Cepheid> Hey, Schism.  I learned something interesting about the save file format of EO3.

04:12 <Schism> Oh?

04:13 <Cepheid> It makes two copies of the save.  If one copy gets damaged(uses a checksum to verify), it will load the game from the second copy.  If both get damaged, it deletes the saves.

04:13 <Schism> Sounds pretty straightforward.  I think Pokemon does something similar.

04:14 <Cepheid> I learned this through poking with emulation.  I need to figure out the checksum algorithm too.

04:14 <Schism> Of course.  For mimicry or trickery?

04:14 <Cepheid> I want to see if it is possible to use an impossible class-subclass combo.

04:15 <Schism> That sounds like one of the checks the program itself would perform.

04:15 <Schism> s/would/should/

04:15 <Cepheid> You can't subclass to Yggdroid, for obvious reasons.

04:16 <Cepheid> No turning the humans into cyborgs.

04:18 <Schism> Meanwhile, I should get some sleep shortly.  Gotta be out of here by 7, I'm working earlier tomorrow and Tuesday.

04:20 <Cepheid> I should get some sleep too.  Need to be up by 6.

04:22 <PrincessRainbows> For the greater good!

04:22 <Schism> "You can't turn into rock.  Not for real." "Wanna bet?  You're mostly right, but I can turn my chitin into stone, and mimicry of Earth Pony abilities gives me a bunch of options." "That's cheating." "Says the pegasus who breaks the sound barrier.  You stop cheating first." "But!" "But, but, but.  Mitigate your speed, and you can beat me." "za?" "Think about it."

04:31 <Schism> Cepheid: https://twitter.com/ice_foxx/status/1198725162863955969

04:34 <Cepheid> Heh.

05:13 * PrincessRainbows chews on a squeaky toy and then boops Ali with it

06:04 <Cepheid> Spitfire, you are aware there are other parts of my body to sleep on right?

15:35 <lumitac> I possess the force of dark literature.

15:35 <lumitac> Fear thy devil.

15:39 <Cepheid> I think I did long-term damage to my hand.  All of last night, my two most-injured fingers had sensitivity and pain problems.

15:45 <Cepheid> It's fine now, but yeah.  Probably nerve damage.  That, or I did something to it last night, because the structure of my hand doesn't feel right either.

15:47 <lumitac> Are you ok? :(

15:56 <Cepheid> I'm fine now.  The injuries were sustained during a period of depression.

15:57 <Cepheid> I've since resolved the cause.

15:57 <lumitac> <3

15:59 <Cepheid> Anyway, BRB.  Switching to train.

16:00 *** Joins: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

16:06 <Cepheid> ... oh gods.

16:06 <Cepheid> The train closed it's doors but isn't moving.

16:06 <lumitac> Maybe there's another train on the track that'll have to move first.

16:12 <Cepheid> System is a two-lane setup.  More the likelihood is more of OC Transpo's inability to run a service.  They are getting a lot of news coverage because of how bad their transit service has been, on top of all the legal woes and fines they are suffering.

16:13 <Cepheid> The service reliability and usefulness has degraded so much that they are no longer allowed to hike fares until April at least.  And even then.

16:13 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/zimmerltw/status/1198539155669536768?s=19

16:16 <lumitac> Hrm. Hope it works out.

16:18 <Cepheid> Hard to say.  Confidence is not high.  As it is, the LRT project finished 2 years late, and it seems anyone involved in it had no idea what they were.  Fines for late delivery were $1,000,000.  A metaphorical slap on the wrist.  Then there is the extension plan.

16:19 <lumitac> shit.

16:19 <Cepheid> They want to extend the rail out further east and west.  In the process they want to shut down the other LRT line during the full extension development.

16:20 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the extension is being handled by SNC-Lavalin.  The same SNC-Lavalin which is part of the Trudeau government scandal involving lawsuits, investigations, accusations of fraud, etc.

16:21 <lumitac> Doesn't sound very hopeful at all.

16:21 <Cepheid> They was also controversy about giving them the contract in the first place, as their plan among other things failed to meet minimum criteria for being awarded the contract.

16:22 <Cepheid> And yet despite that, the contract was given to them, and it was expedited too.

16:22 <Cepheid> Contract deliberation was meant to go on much longer than it did.  It ended early because someone just up and awarded them the contract.

16:23 <Cepheid> So yeah.  It's a mess.

17:15 <Cepheid> Not sure about here.  Lemme see.

17:17 <PrincessRainbows> Lead is perfectly safe /s

17:18 <Cepheid> 12 percent of the tests in Ottawa failed.  So approximately 12 percent of Ottawa has more than 10 parts per billion of lead in the tap water.

17:20 <Cepheid> Anyways, time for me to head out to the group meeting at 1.

17:34 <lumitac> Yay! I just got a new bulb. I can see again!

17:36 * Cepheid burns the bulb.

17:37 <lumitac> Haha it's a dark magic bulb!

17:37 <lumitac> Obey thy bulb.

17:37 <Cepheid> I still need to check when my next eye doctor appointment is.  I need to inquire into the possibility of UV or just regular light sensitivity.

17:37 <lumitac> monk i do too

17:37 <lumitac> stop being coincidental, me no like

17:37 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I have a couple of unusual light bulbs at home.  They are programmable LED bulbs with colour capability.

17:38 <lumitac> I want one but they're so fricken expensive

17:38 <Cepheid> I only bought two myself.  50 dollars for the both.

17:38 <Cepheid> Still need to write my own software to control them.  Got a proof of concept.

17:38 <lumitac> Ah.

20:16 <Cepheid> Friendly reminder given recent Twitter posts.  It is not against the law to mute, block or ignore people who make comments that you dislike for any reason.  You are not required to listen to the opinions and comments of every other person around you, regardless of how much yelling, screaming, and raging that they do that suggests otherwise.

20:18 <LibrarianofHope> owo

20:18 <LibrarianofHope> aint that something

20:20 <Cepheid> People forget this.  It is only a social custom that implies that you have to listen to others.  It isn't a rule or law.  You are free to ignore people you disagree with.  Whether that is a good thing or bad thing is up to you.  Not them.

20:21 * LibrarianofHope is very amused

20:21 <LibrarianofHope> and hungry

20:21 <LibrarianofHope> mostly hungry

20:21 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, also as a reminder, places you do not own or run are allowed to instate rules that fly in the face of freedom of speech.  If you have a problem with such a rule...  *Points to the door leading outside*  There's the door.

20:22 <PrincessRainbows> Or you can just just ignore everything

20:22 <LibrarianofHope> i do that, its fun

20:23 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3171 [ http://tinyurl.com/uyhetqy ]

20:23 <PrincessRainbows> Yeah so do some jerks too sadly

20:26 <LibrarianofHope> im hungry

20:27 <Cepheid> Thing is, if, on a property, I make rules, and you flagrantly ignore them while on the property, I can legally remove you from said property.  Either through polite requests, or through the police.

20:27 <Cepheid> They can fuss all they want.  I don't care.  Get off my property.

20:29 <PrincessRainbows> Go for the guns

20:30 <Cepheid> I miss the days when people didn't just throw Freedom of Speech out like it was some sort of "get away with anything" card.

20:31 <Cepheid> Canada does not allow guns for personal safety.  Even if they did, I'd prefer something less lethal.  A good staff or broom handle.

20:31 <LibrarianofHope> irony is fun owo

20:31 <Cepheid> Good thwack on the head each time they ignore my requests to leave my property and open their mouth.

20:33 <PrincessRainbows> I forgot you prefer manual weapons

20:34 <Cepheid> Guns are too lethal for simple disagreements.

20:36 <PrincessRainbows> Yup and besides some enjoy punching violators

20:39 <Cepheid> Arguably it would be best to use peaceful methods or police first.  Less likelihood of causing serious injury and getting sued.

20:43 <Cepheid> Huh.  Those "violators will be shot" signs are actually illegal.

20:45 <PrincessRainbows> <Cepheid "Huh.  Those "violators will be s"> Yours would say instead 'violators will be punched repeatedly'

20:46 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:49 <Cepheid> That said, even that would be illegal.  Best I can do is no tresspassing, no soliciting, violators will be prosecuted, etc.

20:51 <Cepheid> I almost invokee the right to call the cops once a few years back.  There are rules in the neighborhood.  One of the tenants had a cat out that was crossing into our yard and killing wildlife.  We filed a complaint with the owner.  They decided to show up and harass my mother and father about the formal complaint.

20:51 <Cepheid> I was about to call the cops because he refused to leave, and was getting aggressive.  My father stopped me.

20:52 <Cepheid> It's annoying when this kind of stuff happens.  My parents never do the right thing.

20:53 <Cepheid> I mean for heavens sake, when my mother got injured in a car accident all those years ago, they refused to press charges, despite clear evidence that the person who rear-ended them was speeding well over the limit, and on his cellphone.

20:54 <Cepheid> He rear-ended my parents car so badly the trunk and rear seat were crumpled.  And his vehicle still ended up in front of my parent's car.

20:54 <Cepheid> As it is, they are dragging their feet on their current lawsuit.

20:55 <Cepheid> My mother slipped on some stairs managed by a store up in nunavut.  She broke her leg.  They later came out and salted around my mother in an attempt to get rid of evidence of liability.

20:56 <Cepheid> But my mother isn't too keen to go forward with the lawsuit.

22:19 <Cepheid> The responses of the Internet to events confuse me.  Nintendo is ijvestigating who broke an NDA and leaked Sword and Shield data.  People are acting like the people did nothing wrong.

22:20 *** Quits: darkdoomer (kayanamasha@nowhere.eq) (Connection closed)

22:20 *** Joins: darkdoomer (kayanamasha@nowhere.eq)

22:20 <Cepheid> It's an NDA.  It is a written contract stating you will not discuss things you are working on, with legal repercussions otherwise.

22:27 <Schism> There is a very strong contingent of people who believe that so long as it's done 'for a good cause', an illegal act can always be excused.

22:28 <Cepheid> I disagree.  Besides, leaks and spoilers are never fun for the masses.  Ruins the surprise.

22:29 <Schism> I'm not arguing.

22:29 <Cepheid> Regarding this case, I won't lie, it seems like Nintendo is going a tad overboard with their solution, but I do wish the people responsible got what was coming to them.

22:30 <Cepheid> If I had my black box of story stuff revealed to the public before the release of the game, I'd be a tad pissed.

22:30 <Schism> Aye.

22:32 <Cepheid> Peopoe are turning into Indiana Jones.  Only instead of arguing stuff belongs in a museum...  People are arguing that data belongs on the Internet.  With no regard to whether or not putting it on the Internet is in the best interests of the people.

22:33 <Cepheid> I am an asshole.  I would sooner defend the legal reasons and rights regarding incidents, rather than the moral reasons.
