00:08 * Cepheid is coughing more and more again. =.=

00:15 <Schism> Erkgh.  I hope you'll be alright.

00:19 <Cepheid> Still no fever.  Just more coughing.

00:20 <Schism> Sounds like spring allergies as much as anything.

00:21 <Schism> Hum.  Hey, Cepheid.  Do you think that 3D-printed guillotines with plastic parts and mass-produced blades would work?  Largely aluminium, with a steel weight on the back.

00:21 <Cepheid> Oh, sure.

00:21 <Schism> And the framework being plastic.

00:21 <Cepheid> The blade can be sharpened after it's 3D printed.

00:21 <Schism> Eh, that's true.  And you get the right polymers...

00:21 <Schism> It strikes me as there being a market right now.

00:22 <Cepheid> Murder is still murder, justified or not.

00:22 <Schism> Oh, there would be a court hearing.  That might be expedited, though.

00:23 <Schism> Of course, I'd never condone such an act.  But ... ah, one can dream.

00:23 <Cepheid> Nah, I'm pretty sure murder is still murder, justified or not.  You will be charged with first-degree murder and probably other charges for killing someone breaking lockdown/quarantine rules using a guillotine.

00:23 <Schism> Well, yes, I'm not a government.

00:24 <Cepheid> Schism, that you are asking suggests that somewhere, you condone it to some degree.

00:24 <Schism> That's not quite what I meant, however.

00:24 <Schism> I refer to the billionaires who are spreading misinformation because their stock shares might drop.

00:24 <Schism> Thus killing ... oh, quite a lot of people.

00:25 <Cepheid> Again, justified or not, murder is still murder.

00:25 <Schism> That is the canonical use of a guillotine, though of course I'm also not suggesting that anyone do that.  And yeah, I was just ... well, there's a very dark part of me which I don't let out which does condone that.

00:25 <Cepheid> Besides, having the billionaires live to witness their billions being used for what they don't agree with might be better.

00:26 <Schism> Yeah, if we can actually swing it.  And an estate tax.

00:26 <Schism> I just want to see all the plutocrats who are out there saying "It's not so bad!" while homeless people are stacked up in the parking lots of Las Vegas get what's coming to them.

00:27 <Schism> And that tiny lizard brain at the back of my head is whispering, 'As soon as possible and in the most expedient manner'.

00:29 <Cepheid> With respect to the US, you'd have to work to convince the people there that voting for a candidate that would actually do anything to the rich is worthwhile.

00:29 <Cepheid> With respect to Canada, I'm not sure what would be needed.

00:31 <Schism> A lot more efforts on a national scale...

00:37 * Ali flops over Schism and yawnsies.

01:00 <Ali> Also what do you think of the US Surgeon General?  Think he's nuts?

01:00 <Ali> Cause he thinks 100-200k Muricans will die from this

01:01 <Cepheid> Dr. Fauci?  Pretty much been on the ball since people started growing concerned.

01:01 <Cepheid> He also has access to more data than we do.

01:01 <Ali> He called Indianapolis a hotspot

01:01 *** Joins: DataByte (DataByteBro@Pony-eb3i6s.e8tt.q24m.0242.2601.IP)

01:01 <Ali> That city is like

01:01 <Ali> Small

01:02 <Ali> New York is like 8 times larger than Indy

01:03 <Cepheid> Relative to population size, the number of illnesses can reach a point such that it is still declared a "hotspot" despite being several times smaller than another city.

01:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend - Equestria Girls / Anthro MLP Art Gallery #182 [ http://tinyurl.com/t7rszls ]

01:06 <Cepheid> Exponential growth is a hell of a *****.

01:06 <Cepheid> Gods dangit.

01:07 <Cepheid> Between the 99.8F temp, I also have a cough growing again, and my breathing feels laboured again.

01:07 <Ali> The only thing I see on the state's graph is that the number of tests is up to 12k with around 2k reports of the virus

01:07 <Cepheid> Forking hell, just knock me out already so I can suffer horrifically, then survive despite the odds.

01:07 <Ali> Do you have some sort of comprimised immune system Cepheid?  A few days ago you said you were doing better

01:08 <Cepheid> Pretty much.  Chronic rhinitus/sinusitis leads to my immune system constantly fighting off an infection, which leaves little for any other problems that I get.

01:08 <Cepheid> Plus, the scarring in my lung makes me susceptible to lung-related illnesses.

01:09 <Ali> Maybe its best you don't get Covid19

01:09 * Ali gives the Cepheid huggles

01:16 <Cepheid> Honestly I have resigned myself to seeing it more as a matter of when, not if.

01:18 <Cepheid> Both parents deal with the public, my dad entering homes and businesses that absolutely need their hardware repaired.  My mother, a security guard.

01:20 <Ali> Well hopefully the curve will have dropped off by then as the temps warm

01:21 <Ali> Though I do find it a bit strange

01:21 <Ali> That after the lockdowns have been in place, the number of cases rise

01:22 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

01:22 <Ali> We locked down shortly after Mar13th and it seems like that its not doing a thing

01:22 <Cepheid> That's because people are intentionally defying the government.

01:22 <Ali> Human nature after all

01:23 <Cepheid> You got packed megachurches, people throwing parties, beach parties.  Hell there was pictures posted on Twitter showing dense groups of people watching the hospital ship arrive in NYC.

01:24 <Ali> And people wonder why NYC is getting infected...

01:24 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net)

01:24 <Cepheid> Basically, people just don't get it.  And they become contaminated and spread it around.

01:24 <Ali> Or they're teens who think they're invincible

01:24 <Cepheid> A lot of it has to do with the "I feel fine so I must not be sick" mentality.

01:24 <Ali> Cause we all know teenagers are the smartest people around

01:25 <Cepheid> It can take up to 14 days to show symptoms.  And that entire time you can be a vector.

01:25 <Ali> Is that a normal incubation time?

01:26 <Ali> Cause that seems like a long time to compromise an immune system

01:26 <Cepheid> There are also other issues, such as people not being able to afford time off from work, and going in sick.

01:26 <Ali> That's been a problem for much longer than this virus

01:26 <Cepheid> Yes, but it doesn't help.

01:26 <Ali> I know but I'm just stating it isn't a new issue

01:27 <Ali> Its been a problem since the 70s maybe even before then

01:27 <Cepheid> As for the incubation time, not all viruses take that long, some take less.  Some take more.

01:28 <Schism> For this particular type of virus, I think it's fairly long, but I'm not an epidemiologist.

01:29 <Cepheid> Chicken pox took between 9 and 21 days.

01:30 <Cepheid> Mono takes 28+ days.

01:30 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

01:30 <Ali> That is super annoying

01:31 <Ali> And with how long this stupid thing can run its course, will it ever stop without human stupidity keep spreading it?

01:31 <Ali> Cause it sounds like everyone would have to just drop everything and do nothing for two months just to make sure its all gone due to its long incubation and infection time.

01:32 <Ali> Cause I'd hate to have this thing for six weeks

01:32 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net)

01:35 <Cepheid> Eventually a vaccine will appear to help slow it's spread.  Plus people who contract it, then survive it will have antibodies against it, preventing them from getting sick from it again for a while.  In fact, antibodies through blood plasma donations from recovered patients is a current treatment method.

01:43 <Cepheid> Hum.  At least Spitfire will never leave my side if I get sick with anything.  If I'm on the bed, he has to either be on my lap, or touching me somehow.

01:44 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

01:45 <Cepheid> I'd assume this is due to the warmth thing, but it's not.  He sometimes is content with just resting a paw on my chest, or having his tail touching me.

01:47 <Ali> Cats are strange

01:48 <Ali> Like Luna will scream for me to come to a couch and sit down and she comes up and purrs and rubs on my leg.  Also screams more.

01:48 <Ali> Tia will do that sometimes too, but her places are different and she whines differently too.

01:48 <Ali> They both hate being held though.

01:51 <Cepheid> Then just scratch their heads/pet them.

01:51 <Cepheid> Especially behind/around the ears, and their chins.  And don't make sudden moves.  Spooks cats.

01:55 <Ali> I try my hardest to do that and give them the attention they're craving

01:55 <Ali> But why does the cat scream so much though?

01:57 <Golden> I finally got the 3 star rating in new horizons

01:59 <Cepheid> Because the cat doesn't want you to stop Ali.

02:00 <Ali> No she'll like be on the back of the couch and scream at me

02:01 <Cepheid> Pay attention to her!

02:04 <Cepheid> Every time Spitfire is on me, he usually makes noises to tell me to pet him some more.

02:15 <Cepheid> Clearly not enough, Ali!

02:15 <Ali> What is this Factorio post supposed to mean?

02:17 <Cepheid> The guy made that obtuse setup to combine two belts loaded only on one side, into one belt.

02:18 <PinkieShy> I knew this would happen >_> That's why i laid down in my bed an hour ago.. >_>

02:18 <Ali> Ah, I thought that first belt was just a simple balancer

02:18 <PinkieShy> I thoguht i would probably go to sleep.. And sure enough that happened

06:07 * ConfusionRift laughs.

06:07 * Ali folds ears back.

06:07 <ConfusionRift> We can if we finagle the terrain a bit and move the rails. It's possible.

06:08 <ConfusionRift> I was tempted when I saw the blueprint and the large space that we have.

06:09 <Ali> Well we can just move things around more as things get expanded

06:10 * ConfusionRift nods.

06:10 <Ali> But just need a lot of walls and a lot of killing of bugs.

06:11 <ConfusionRift> That we can do. My fear sorta is when the behemoths come out.

06:13 <Ali> If we push them back far enough we /might/ be ok.  I'm not sure how well PLD will hold up then

06:16 <ConfusionRift> I hate to suggest it but... green ammo?

06:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh shoot... research.

06:16 <Ali> You mean Uranium ammo

06:16 * ConfusionRift nods.

06:17 <ConfusionRift> Depleted uranium rounds and uranium shells.

06:17 <Ali> Yeah I get cha, I'm just used to using PDL and Missles to attack bug bases.

06:18 <Ali> Though not sure about when they get to behemoths

06:18 <ConfusionRift> Cooked in this uranium pot, and eaten on this uranium bowl. (eats, with rads rapidly building up) I feel something... burning.

06:18 <Ali> But the repeatable tech will help on that.

06:21 * ConfusionRift was curious about bakelite and does some searching.

06:22 <ConfusionRift> Oh... it's a plastic. Huh.

06:26 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, as I said, we could divert to the previous version. Don't think it should do much.

06:26 <ConfusionRift> Or we could wait till it updates.

06:28 <Ali> I"m a bit too pissy right now to muck with downgrading the version

06:29 <Ali> Cause nothing says annoyed while playing Civ with other people and turns are taking 10-15 minutes while they're playing a side game.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh. Sorry.

06:30 <ConfusionRift> Yep, we can wait for that to update. :P

06:30 * ConfusionRift checks the villagers real quick.

06:31 <ConfusionRift> I say that and end up 4 hours deep in the game. Freakin' AC. :P

06:34 <Ali> And you're in that phase of the game where its like end turn after 10 seconds

06:34 <Ali> So waiting that long for the others to respond is just not fair.

20:51 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1245091432907628545

20:54 <Cepheid> That's it for today.

20:58 <Ali> Crash or that it starting falling so fast there was no point of drawing the thing?

20:58 <Cepheid> Neither.

20:58 <Cepheid> It's a physics simulation problem called tunneling.

20:58 <Cepheid> Basically, the change in position becomes so great that it skips past the hidden collision box along the edge.

20:59 <Cepheid> It'd be better explained with a drawing, to be honest.

21:00 <Cepheid> That said, there's a few ways to resolve the problem.

21:02 <Cepheid> 1) Limit the velocity.  That is, implement terminal velocity.  2) Make the relevant collision boxes larger, as there is no cost to increasing their size in terms of processing.  3) Implement the current entity-world accurate collision detection as entity-entity, and implement the collision boxes as static, unmoving entities.

21:06 <Cepheid> Now that I think about it though..

21:06 <Cepheid> The relevant transition objects only interact with the player.

21:06 <Cepheid> So a combination of just making them larger, and adding terminal velocity limiting would be sufficient.

21:14 <Schism> Hum.  Rent for the rent monster.

21:19 <Cepheid> Hum, minor bug with screen transitions.  For some reason, the player is shifted up or down one pixel, and gets "stuck"

21:24 <Cepheid> I'll figure it out tomorrow.

21:24 <Cepheid> I need to stop.

21:27 <Cepheid> Bluh.

21:29 <Cepheid> I swear, if I weren't taking aleve, I'd probably be out of commission right now.

21:29 <Cepheid> I have a temperature of 99.8F.

21:37 * Schism flops in from work.

21:37 <Schism> (And chores.)  I am the milkman.  My milk is delicious.

21:42 * Ali eees at Schism, Irridium Sprinkler

21:42 <Schism> Huzzah!

21:42 <Schism> Those are so worth buying when you see them.

21:43 <Ali> Too bad they cost like over 10000G

21:43 <Schism> Just 10,000g.  But once you get things going, that'll seem like a derp in the bucket.

21:43 <Schism> Or you could go after Iridium Bars and Battery Packs.

21:44 <Schism> Remember, if you put down a sprinkler on a tile, like a floor or pathway, then tilling the ground around it won't dislodge the sprinkler.

21:44 * Cepheid cannot turn his head to the right, or tilt it up. Huzzah.

21:45 <Schism> Ow, I hate when my neck does that.

21:46 <Ali> Schism, I made my first one

21:46 <Schism> Ah, borked that meteorite?

21:46 <Ali> Yeah I did have one fall and I had some ore as well from random thing I don't remember

21:46 <Schism> It's always a trade-off...

21:46 <Ali> But I have 4 more battery packs

21:46 <Schism> Possibly Omni Geodes.

21:47 <Ali> I need access to Skull Cavern but I'm poor as dirt

21:47 <Schism> It only gets better from here.  At least you don't have Tom Nook breathing down your neck.

21:47 <Ali> I've got 100 Cauliflower in the ground, just have to wait for them

21:48 <Ali> And the seed machine, I'm gonna abuse with berries

21:48 <Schism> Mmm.

21:48 <Schism> And ancient fruit!

21:48 <Ali> I haven't thrown one of those into the ground yet.

21:50 <Schism> Oh.  Did you know there's another use for the rare gem berry?

21:51 * Schism says no more.

21:55 <Schism> Sweet Gem Berry, that is.

22:13 <Schism> Sometimes it's worth it... but it's really really rare.

22:13 <Schism> But at least you get an all-expenses-paid hot springs visit.

22:14 * Schism pans for ore in Ali's river.

22:14 * Ali hasn't had the gemstone blockade destroyed yet.

22:14 <Schism> Oh, okay.  It's not like it's that worthwhile, though, anyway.

22:14 * Schism wonders if Ali has gotten the Greenhouse yet.

22:15 <Ali> Sadly no

22:15 <Schism> Awr.  You'll get those gold stars soon.

22:15 <Ali> I'm blocked off by wool and fruit trees

22:16 <Schism> Didn't you pick fruit bats?

22:16 <Cepheid> https://gfycat.com/soupyneedyfairyfly

22:16 * Schism always picks mushroom bats.

22:17 <Ali> No, you told me to always take mushrooms

22:17 <Lumindia_> .....

22:17 <Ali> But I see in speedruns and the like that fruitbats are better for a faster community center finish

22:17 <Lumindia_> I just bought the humble covid-19 relief bundle... One of the keys I got LEGIT has the word "TEETH" in it

22:17 <Schism> Fair nuff.  You can typically find some fruit at the traveling seller...

22:17 <Schism> Lumindia_, hee.

22:17 <Schism> Merchant, I mean.

22:17 <Ali> A lot of those games look really old

22:18 <Ali> I mean Tropico 4?  Why 4?

22:18 <Schism> Well, a lot of them are, yeah.

22:18 <Schism> And I imagine because Tropico 4 was the most lauded of the lot.

22:18 <Schism> Like Civ3.

22:19 <Ali> I never really played Civ until 4 and it still had the stack of doom

22:31 <Ali> Schism, I gots a giants Cauliflower

22:31 <Schism> Huzzah!  Now break it and reap your rewards -- more cauliflower!

22:32 <Ali> How you break its?  Axe?

22:32 <Schism> Axe, yea.

22:32 * Ali nods, it dropped 15

22:32 <Schism> Not as great as it could be, but still beats 9.

22:37 <Lumindia_> and Bought the bundle

22:37 <Lumindia_> :eyes:

22:37 <Schism> I did the same.  *shrug*  If nothing else, it's some money towards COVID-19 charities, and that's worthwhile.

22:41 <Ali> Sadly none of those games seemed interesting to me

22:42 <Schism> Mostly I wanted to donate, though there's something to be said about Pac-Man.  Plus, the books.

22:43 <Lumindia_> it's not just games

22:43 <Stormspark> I'm looking forward to RE3, only upcoming game I'm interested in at this time

22:43 <Stormspark> except for the Xenoblade remaster

22:43 <Stormspark> well not counting the games that are rumored but not announced

22:44 <Schism> Ali: The Witness is a fine sort of puzzle game wrapped in a ridiculous philsophical discussion.

22:44 <Schism> And Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is kind of like if someone decided to make wars out of play-doh.

22:45 <Schism> philosophical*

22:45 * Ali finds it funny that the game she's into nobody is >.<

22:45 <Lumindia_> what game?

22:45 <Schism> Also, Ali, haven't you played World of Goo yet?

22:45 <Ali> Doesn't interest me at all Schism

22:46 <Ali> And Stardew Valley Lumindia_

22:46 <Schism> I'm into Stardew Valley!  I'm just... urgh.  I'm currently going through a week of profane work as all the company rotates into work at home.

22:46 <Schism> My schedule got shifted around so that I'm on my eighth day of the week.

22:46 <Ali> And by axeident I just chopped by apple tree

22:47 <Ali> Time to restart the day

22:49 <Schism> ... er... yes.  

22:49 * Schism has never, ever, ever done that before a dozen times.

22:50 <Lumindia_> I know for a FACT in about a year, I'm going to look at all these games I just redeemed, and go 'when the frick did I get these?'

22:52 * Ali also shows Schism wild bait

22:53 <Schism> Also helpful, aye, though a pain in the (yay) to make.

22:54 <Schism> But then, what the heck else are you going to do with that fiber, slimes, and bug meat?

22:54 <Cepheid> I'd be more inclined to play various games if I could do so laying down.  Once I finish work these days, I usually feel like sitting up requires a lot of effort.  Along with breathing.

22:55 <Schism> Does this have anything to do with a Spitfire on your chest?

22:55 <Schism> Jokes aside... ugh.  It does sound like you might've gotten hit.

22:55 <Cepheid> I have no long-term fever.

22:56 <Schism> I'm pretty sure that if you did get COVID-19, the other issues would scared the poor coronavirus off.

22:56 <Schism> Like wandering into a bad part of town.

22:57 <Cepheid> I start off my day above or around 99F.  By the time exhaustion kicks in, it's around 100, but never higher than that.  By the time I go to sleep, it returns to 98.6 or lower.

22:57 <Schism> That's still... pretty unhealthy, but not to damaging levels...

22:58 <Cepheid> The exhaustion is along the lines of "Guh, I need to lay down.  I feel like I'm fighting multiple G just to sit up or stand" and "Okay, I need to breathe more deeply.  But it feels so tiring to do so."

22:59 <Cepheid> I'm inclined not to take aleve tomorrow to see the full extent of the exhaustion and symptoms.

23:00 <Cepheid> Because I'm almost certain the daily aleve ius hiding something from me.

23:01 <Ali> Also Schism its likely I can't finish the com center till Fall due to how things are working out

23:03 <Schism> Well, you can always get a new rating from Grandpa.
