03:11 <Schism> Cepheid, you here?
03:30 * Ali flops over the Schism
03:31 * Schism squeaks again. This time like a squeaky mallet.
03:33 * Ali snuggles the Schism and unicorn yawns.
03:38 * Schism provides the Ali with a slice of banana bread! Right in the yawn.
03:38 * Ali eeps and noms

03:41 <Ali> Welp...another reason now to not step outside your house
03:41 <TheMadHatter> You know I do feel like the Mad hatter lately
03:41 * Ali won't say anything else and just locks herself inside until this all blows over, if it ever does.
03:41 <TheMadHatter> With how much i am drinking tea more often.
03:42 <TheMadHatter> Ali is it Covid related?
03:45 * Ali doesn't really want to talk about it..
03:48 <TheMadHatter> Okie
03:48 * TheMadHatter headpats Ali
04:06 * Ali just curls up into TheMadHatter pinks and sighs heavily.

05:45 * Starlight_Glimmer sleepily looks at Ali. " Good morning sunshine" :3
05:46 * Ali yawns at Starlight_Glimmer. "Its dark here.."
05:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes. You and your silly timezone.
05:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> But it's almost 8 AM here!
05:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> And I just woke up.
05:48 <Ali> Its almost 2am here :P
05:48 * Ali pats Starlight_Glimmer and yawns softly.
06:16 * Starlight_Glimmer nudges Ali. "So ... how about you make me breakfast?"
06:16 * Starlight_Glimmer would like that
06:16 * Ali puffycheeks. "I dun't cook well alones."
06:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well I wouldn't cook an Ali without like veggies, but I'd settle for pancakes for now ;)
06:17 * Starlight_Glimmer licks Ali's nose
06:17 * Ali puffycheeks harder at Starlight_Glimmer
06:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean surely that was like a language barrier thing and me not intentionally misreading stuff :3
06:22 <Ali> What I mean is I don't do cooking well alone
06:22 <Ali> I tend to freak out
06:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> I realized sweetie
06:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> I was just saying nonsense to defend me being silly ;)
06:25 * Starlight_Glimmer imagines an Ali covered in flour now
06:25 <Ali> No its not like that
06:26 <Ali> I mean when you have like two to three things all going at once and need to all come together at a specific time
06:26 <Ali> I start to freak out that I'm getting behind on one and all that.
06:28 <Starlight_Glimmer> That's sad. Covering in flour is like half way through the breading process. I was sooo looking forward to a crunchy Ali.
06:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> As far as cooking goes: You can avoid a lot of that by preparation
06:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> Take it slow. Make a plan ahead of time.
06:31 <Starlight_Glimmer> Like I cut up all the things before I start actually frying stuff etc. I usually only do cleanup while stuff is frying/cooking, but you can easily do that afterwards
06:31 <Ali> Starlight_Glimmer, I do a lot of pre prep cooking myself
06:32 <Ali> Do all the cutting up of veggies and the like before starting the main cooking
06:32 <Ali> I cut things so slow that its crazy I like cooking..
06:33 <Starlight_Glimmer> Considering the many times I cut myself in the past couple of years maybe I should take things slower myself ;)
06:34 <Starlight_Glimmer> I actually cut myself just yesterday while slicing watermelon. My knifes are insanely sharp though. Just touched my index finger and it was enough to start bleeding a little :P
06:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's sad we're that far apart. Now I want to cook with/an Ali.
06:36 <Ali> Tis always the issue those time zones, and a large body of water.
06:36 <Ali> I have a veggie chopper I use to help cut things like onions and green peppers
06:37 <Ali> And sometimes we bag them up and freeze them cause you don't want them to spoil
06:37 <Ali> Had half a 3 pound bag of onions rot before, not fun.
06:37 <Starlight_Glimmer> I have that with potatoes mostly. Can't really freeze those.
06:46 <Ali> Yeah, potatoes are picky little things
06:46 <Ali> And the summer temps here don't help them
06:46 <Ali> 90F and high humidity

08:13 * Golden flops.
08:21 * Cepheid awakens.
08:23 <Cepheid> I'm awake now, Schism.
08:25 <Schism> Welcome back. And furrfu. Forget what I was going to ask, I just flopped and everything went out of my head.
08:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
08:27 <Cepheid> Couldn't have been super important then.
08:28 <Schism> True. Also, coming off onto a weekend is all about the accumulated stress of the week (and all that responsibility) just melting away...
08:30 * PrincessRainbows clutches her favorite plushie and sits on Ali
08:30 <Ali> /me snugs the PrincessRainbows extra tightly.
08:34 * Schism talks with some folks about hair, and gahs at the mop on her head.
08:34 * PrincessRainbows makes silly filly noises and boops her horn
08:36 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/nDQuKms.jpg
08:40 <Cepheid> Nice and cool out, and what does my body decide to do? Feel like it's burning from the inside out.
08:42 <Schism> It was raining all today. It's nice and cool. So of course my pillow and bedsheets are soaked in sweat.
08:42 <Ali> And discord died
08:43 <Schism> That's odd. It looks like it's up...
08:43 <Ali> Well mine took a big old massive you know what on itself and isn't restarting
08:44 <Schism> Yerk. Kill its processes in taskman?
08:44 <Ali> Well even the status discord page ends up 502ing at times
08:48 <Schism> Well, I know that some Discord servers have been DDOS'd this week, as have some Cloudflare ones.
08:48 <Ali> What is a 502 anyway?
08:48 <Schism> Bad gateway. Something went wrong between server and router.
08:53 <Schism> A 502 is typically seen when Cloudflare goes 'blah'.
08:53 <Cepheid> Last week, Cloudflare had a problem with their DNS servers that was caused by a bad router. Made a good portion of the Net unavailable for 30 minutes.
08:53 <Cepheid> Router wasn't even theirs.
08:54 <Schism> Furrfu. I seem to recall that it belonged to Level3 or something.
08:55 <Schism> https://i.redd.it/hpgcvsmhiem31.jpg
08:56 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali's nosie
08:57 * Ali squeaks at PrincessRainbows
08:57 <Cepheid> The issue I have with that statement is that there are a few ways to interpret it, and part of the problem with using it is that there may be no more easy way to express the intended message.
08:58 <Schism> I know. And it's not always meant as bad. But the statement using one's deadname is... somewhat more clear.
09:00 <Cepheid> Unless you just came out to them. In which case shock, and an inability for every single person to just flip that switch... I'd wait a while and if they continue to use the deadname without consideration, then... Yeah.
09:01 <Schism> Oh, I know. Plus, don't... know what name. Leaning towards one more than the others, but for heaven's sake.
09:11 <Cepheid> In any case my point is, I would not take it harshly. At least initially. If it kept being used unironically afterwards, then yeah, I might have to pull them aside for a talk.
09:15 * PrincessRainbows looks up at Ali and makes grabby hooves
09:16 * Ali huggles the PrincessRainbows so much
09:17 <Cepheid> Cats, what are you doing? I hear noise.
09:20 * Cepheid noms on a cooling rod. Offers one to Schism. (They are freezies.)
09:20 * PrincessRainbows grabs her pacifier and curls up with Ali for sleepies. Nini
09:32 <Cepheid> Hum. Too bad the instrumental version of Devil Trigger isn't the full thing. Wouldn't mind doing karaoke of the song to see how well I could match the vocals.
09:34 <Cepheid> I've listened to it so danged much that I nearly have it memorized. Just the order of lyrics is what I cannot remember.
09:36 <Cepheid> Only annoying bit is that my mind wants to use my low voice for singing it.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> "Now that you're stuck in the ocean, on a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel?" | Dood, the ocean is my thing. I feel like a solid 9. (hears loud noises) Did I say 9? I meant 7. (sees this huge thing breach and dive) ...4. I meant 4.
09:37 <Cepheid> Also, listening to the song makes me want to grab DMC5 and play it through for the song.
09:38 * Schism passes Cepheid a cone of silence. (It is a cornet, and you will be silenced if you nom on it instead.)
09:38 <Cepheid> Why are you giving this to me?
09:39 <Schism> Because it is made of ice cream and waffles.
09:41 * Cepheid noms a freezie instead. Much as she dislikes her voice, she still needs it to communicate. If you wanted me to eat it, you shouldn't have told me what it does. :P
09:42 * Schism does more voice training. Well, preliminary.
09:44 <Cepheid> I should start on that myself.
09:44 <Cepheid> Gonna wait until I have more time to myself though.
09:44 * Schism nodnods.
09:45 <Cepheid> Should be good for that starting next week.
09:47 <Schism> Oh yeah, are _all_ your family heading down to Cornwall?
09:49 <Cepheid> Yesterday they were yeah. Sister, mother, father. Was why I was so frustrated with the dog. Dad's back, but the other two should be home today.
09:49 * Cepheid gives ConfusionRift a small, flashy cloud of cubes.
09:52 <Cepheid> But yeah, next week... Mother returns to day shift proper, and my sister goes into a two-week mandatory quarantine before she heads back up North.
09:53 * ConfusionRift gets near it and hears nothing but loud chanting.
09:55 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Quit: Reboot)
09:56 <ConfusionRift> Huh. Something about Earth being flat and the government is ran by lizard people.

09:57 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:58 *** Joins: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles)
09:59 <Cepheid> I don't know which bone this is in my leg, but it has a really, really, REALLY flat side to it. And it creeps me out.
10:03 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest. After so long being above 230lbs, it feels weird to see my weight below 210lbs again.
10:03 <ConfusionRift> Hmm. It's not just on top of the leg, where it meets with the knee, is it?
10:04 <Schism> Cepheid: Very positive, though, no doubt.
10:04 * Schism giggles helplessly at A Girl and Her Fed. "Oh, Smith. They just don't get it. And now they're about to get it."
10:04 <Cepheid> Nope. A
10:04 <Cepheid> Ah..
10:04 <Cepheid> Nope, all along the lower leg.
10:05 <Cepheid> It's the front bone of the two.
10:05 <Schism> Tibia.
10:05 <Cepheid> One side of it is practically flat, and it feels weird as hell.
10:06 <Schism> Huh. *pokes at her leg* I think that might be normal. Mine is flat on the inner side.
10:06 <Cepheid> And yes, Schism, it is very positive. Now to keep it up and break 200lbs.
10:07 <Cepheid> Still. I just noticed it recently. Feels weird is all.
10:07 <Schism> We all have weird skeletons inside us. o3o
10:08 <Cepheid> Still, I guess it could be weirder. *Flexes her leg muscles. They pop up all over the place.*
10:10 <Cepheid> Hum. Got a bit of flab on the back, just below the knee. And my thighs... Let's not speak of them. Or my butt.
10:10 <Cepheid> Fat on the torso seems to be going away though. Still got a long ways to go though.
10:13 <Schism> More types of exercises, perhaps.
10:13 <Schism> I need do more crunches, except that the last time I did so, I kind of hurt myself. Bruised my tailbone.
10:15 <Cepheid> That's the plan yeah. Add another exercise to the routine, and start alternating between exercises each day to start getting different parts of the body.
10:16 <Cepheid> Biking seems like a good choice. Especially if I can get the exercise bike moved up to my room, so I can watch TV as I exercise.
10:16 * Lumindia gives Ceph and Schism biiig hug
10:16 * Schism snugs the Lumin right back.
10:17 <Cepheid> https://foxtrot.com/2020/07/19/midsummer-meltdown/ I'd do this.
10:17 * Cepheid hugs back.
10:18 <Schism> Oh, that would be fantastic. However...
10:19 <Schism> I would put that on the sidewalk and add a sign reading "wear a damn mask."
10:20 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:20 * Cepheid pops off to do some exercise. o3o
10:21 * ConfusionRift chuckles.
10:21 <ConfusionRift> At least, for the first time in a long while, we got hit by a storm.
10:22 * PrincessRainbows climbs up onto ConfusionRift and boops
10:23 <Schism> How not to get someone who's a certified ninja par excellence, who killed a taipan with her bare hands when she was 4 years old, to tell you something: https://agirlandherfed.com/
10:23 * ConfusionRift pets PrincessRainbows. :P
10:24 * Cepheid does crunches. Tailbone be fine. Mostly because a good portion of hers was eaten by infection.
10:24 <Schism> I just did them without padding that one time.
10:24 * PrincessRainbows boops ConfusionRift with her pacifier and tries to go sleepy again
10:25 <Schism> Crunches + a carpet which is maybe 5mm thick = ow.
10:25 <Cepheid> I have no padding myself. Don't really need it.
10:25 <Cepheid> Funnily enough my family is responsible for my excessive tailbone damage.
10:26 <Cepheid> Cause of the damage started a week before a trip we took. We went cross-country to Vancouver, BC and back. By van.
10:27 <Schism> Yeesh. And so the resultant vibrations and...
10:27 <Cepheid> It was only after a month of sitting in agony in a cramped van that I saw a doctor, and found I needed major surgery.
10:28 * Schism winces. "Well."
10:29 <Schism> At least you've found the good side of things.
10:29 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
10:29 * Schism eyes things. "What is up with headpats."
10:30 <Cepheid> I have no idea.
10:31 * Cepheid pops off for next set.
10:31 * Schism snugs the Cephy. And nodnods.
10:36 <Cepheid> I think tomorrow I'll take a break from exercising. Just realized I've been maintaining daily exercises for a week now.
10:36 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/A_Zedig_Diboine/status/1285985060483739650?s=19
10:38 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/sese_zeze_/status/1286128527822135298?s=19 Wonder how effective this is.
10:40 <Schism> I've seen things like that before... they generally don't work _that_ well, but they're not the worst. You just have to be careful how you get them to peench the bag.
10:43 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/fa9ar5gliec51.jpg
10:45 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, seen something like this before, and the bags tend to tear from the pinching point, and the device breaks the bag regardless.
10:46 <ConfusionRift> Alas, maybe it's a better one.
10:46 <ConfusionRift> Nice bitty shark. :P
10:49 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/famy_siraso/status/1286247395387305995?s=19 I want that coat.
10:53 <Cepheid> Next set.
10:57 <Cepheid> Yeah. Need a break tomorrow.
10:57 <Cepheid> My joints especially are not enjoying the daily workouts at the moment.
11:01 <Cepheid> Random observation.
11:02 <Cepheid> I have had blood drawn from me, and so much *YAY* injected into me over the last five years, that my fear of needles is gone.
11:06 <Schism> That will probably help down the line. I still hate big needles, myself, despite taking insulin constantly.
11:07 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/8xd6t6bcdjc51.jpg
11:07 * Lumindia snugs the Schism lots
11:07 <Lumindia> <3
11:07 <Lumindia> sooooft
11:07 * Schism is a changeling. :< Is categorically harder than most pones.
11:08 <Lumindia> oh you are?
11:08 * Lumindia provides food for Schism, then
11:08 <Lumindia> o vo
11:08 <Lumindia> looove
11:08 <ConfusionRift> But changelings are squishy. :P

11:09 * Cepheid shaves Schism down. "Now 200% smoother!"
11:10 * ConfusionRift goes back to the ocean.
11:10 <Cepheid> Oh?
11:11 * Schism has already shaved... upper body-wise. She frowns at her legs. And arms. "Darnit." And also at her nails.
11:12 <Schism> Need a nail kit. Desperately need a nail kit.
11:12 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/87u5gbttbjc51
11:12 <Cepheid> Same. Nails are looking a bit polygonal. Also need to figure out why the skin around my nails keeps breaking and peeling.
11:13 <Schism> Sharp edges, I guess.
11:13 * Lumindia feeds Schism love, o vo
11:13 <Lumindia> gotta keep ya well fed
11:13 * Schism snugglies against Lumin. <3.
11:14 <Lumindia> ♥
11:16 *** Quits: Moongoodgirl (moonbolt@sugar-belle.blackl.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
11:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, Schism. Sharp edges, points.
11:20 * Cepheid applies ferrous nail polish.
11:20 * Schism provides Cepheid with a tetanus shot.
11:21 <Cepheid> Oh, right. The metal would rust.
11:21 <Schism> Yerp.
11:21 <Schism> grmbl. Picked up pink, blue and white nail polish, because I got a wild hair. And now I need to wait until I get a file and grooming set.
11:22 <Cepheid> What would be a good metal then to create a conductive nail polish without harming the person?
11:22 *** Joins: Moongoodgirl (moonbolt@sugar-belle.blackl.net)
11:23 <Schism> Conductive? Aluminium?
11:24 * Cepheid demonstrates a problem she has with long nails by tapping on tablet screen. *tap. tap tap. taptaptaptaptaptap-*

11:27 <Cepheid> My fingers exist in two states.
11:28 <Cepheid> Short nails, overly sensitive with tablets. Long nails, my fingers may well not exist according to tablets.
11:29 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/ua09cuv9ugc51
11:30 * Schism taps on her phone a few times. Hears click of nail against plastic. Growls.
11:34 <Lumindia> click click click
11:34 <Lumindia> o vo
11:34 * Lumindia crab claw clicking sounds
11:34 <Cepheid> And this sort of problem tends to start relatively quickly for me.
11:34 <Cepheid> I just clipped my nails a few days ago.
11:34 <Nedemai> stylus perhaps?
11:35 <Cepheid> More of a pain than without a stylus, with the way I use my tablet right now.
11:38 <Lumindia> oh heck, season 3 of Aggretsuko
11:40 <Cepheid> "I had to stay downstairs all day yesterday because if I went upstairs, the dog would harass the cats incessantly." "You stayed downstairs all day anyways, what's your point?" "..."
11:41 <Cepheid> My family thinks I'm overreacting about the dog.
11:41 <Cepheid> But good gods, does that dumb ***** stress me out.
11:41 * Schism facepalms at Cepheid. And hugs her.
11:41 <Cepheid> As it is, the cats have trouble even when the dog is downstairs.
11:41 <Schism> Constantly on edge?
11:42 <Cepheid> Every time Spitfire or Tizzy tries to approach me, the dog runs around and tries to get between me and the cat.
11:42 <Cepheid> And yeah, always on edge around the dog.
11:43 <Schism> Or even when they smell the dog. Which is constantly.
11:43 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, things are gonna be hectic for the next two weeks.
11:43 <Cepheid> My sister's going into enforced quarantine. She has to stay at a hotel for two weeks, with a security guard outside the hotel room door.
11:43 <Cepheid> And the dog can't go with her.
11:44 <Schism> I know iiiiihow the hell much is that going to cost?
11:45 <Cepheid> I don't know.
11:45 <Cepheid> But it's a requirement for her to go back to Nunavut.
11:45 <Cepheid> She is not allowed to go back otherwise.
11:45 <Schism> Entirely sensible. Frustrating, but sensible.
11:47 <Cepheid> Apparently, it's worse for non-residents.
11:47 <Cepheid> As the quarantine is there, but the cost of quarantining is placed upon the individual.
11:48 <Cepheid> So you have to pay for the hotel room.
11:49 <Schism> Oh good. And the security guard?
11:49 <Schism> (This is a new variant of 'good' I'm trying out.)
11:49 <Cepheid> I have no idea.
11:49 <Cepheid> My mother only mentioned that if she were to go visit my sister, they would make her quarantine, and she'd have to pay for the hotel room, according to rules and regulations.

11:55 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
11:55 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Pulse: FINAL FANTASY XIV Remix Album - ダイジェストPV
11:55 <Lumindia> EDM Arrange album
11:57 <Cepheid> Legal quandary. I want a certain set of books. But the books are only available in used hardcover format. And, well.. I don't trust used books, especially ordered online.
12:02 <Cepheid> Mmm.
12:02 <Cepheid> That's how this format works.
12:02 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-7fk.cgs.170.124.IP)
12:04 <Cepheid> It works under the assumption that the largest primary color(R, G, or B) dominates the color of the pixel. Thus, basing the shared exponent off of the dominant primary provides greater accuracy for said primary, while reducing the accuracy for the less dominant primaries, which will have little effect on the final color.
12:06 <Cepheid> Man, Graphics Gems 2 was really simplistic by today's standards.
12:06 <Cepheid> Geometry algorithms section covers basic stuff, like area of a polygon, intersection of line segments, bounding circles, and distance from a point on a line.
12:07 <Cepheid> Er, to a line*
12:07 <Cepheid> The last one is just standard linear algebra. Projection of A onto B.
12:08 <Cepheid> Gets to really complex stuff in the later sections and chapters. o3o
12:09 <RazorSharpFang> I have returned from the mines.
12:14 * Cepheid researches what Fast Fourier Transforms are used for.
12:14 <RazorSharpFang> Signal analysis, picking out frequencies, blocking frequencies etc
12:14 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
12:14 <RazorSharpFang> Incidentally the FFT of a FFT is the original signal back (Results may vary)
12:15 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:16 <RazorSharpFang> So if there's this annoying high-pitch hum, you can FFT, delete the frequency, FFT it back to get it without it.
12:17 <Cepheid> At this point, I'm more interested in what the applications are. Though, I can see a few application ideas already.
12:17 <Cepheid> ... Oh gods.
12:17 <Cepheid> It involves complex numbers?
12:17 <RazorSharpFang> I'll ask my father - he's a mechanical engineer with a specialisation in vibration - anything you want to ask?
12:17 <Nedemai> Cepheid, I am drawing another, I will warn before I link
12:17 <RazorSharpFang> Why does that surprise you?
12:18 <Cepheid> It doesn't surprise me.
12:18 <Cepheid> It scares me.
12:18 <Cepheid> I do not like complex numbers.
12:18 <RazorSharpFang> Complex numbers are just like regular numbers, but they're normal.
12:18 <Lumindia> to me, FFT has a different meaning
12:18 <Cepheid> The problem with complex number solely lies in how I was introduced to them, and how my brain interprets them as a result.
12:19 <RazorSharpFang> I stumbled upon them before I was formally taught them. Soon after, I was able to compute 2 ^ i
12:19 <Cepheid> Prof did a piss-poor job of introducing them, and encouraged the "imaginary" term.
12:19 <Cepheid> Like, treating them as if they weren't real.
12:20 <RazorSharpFang> I just view them as a tool for handling otherwise "impossible" computations.
12:20 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:20 <Cepheid> I honestly wish the university had an elementary course on complex numbers, and only complex numbers.
12:21 <RazorSharpFang> Incidentally, i ^ i is a fully real number with no imaginary component.
12:21 * Cepheid checks university course list.
12:24 <Cepheid> What would complex numbers be covered under?
12:24 <RazorSharpFang> Complex analysis
12:24 <RazorSharpFang> Electrical engineering
12:24 <Cepheid> Hum. Appears it's covered under Linear Algebra at my university.
12:25 <Cepheid> I might actually just be better off finding a good math textbook that covers complex numbers.
12:28 <Cepheid> Hum. Could you not also change the Fourier Transform to add something to the result?
12:28 <Cepheid> Also, as to your earlier question, no I'm good. I only brought up fourier transforms because I ran across the term again.
12:34 * Schism boops Cepheid with an equation reading 'e^(pi * i)'.
12:36 <Cepheid> Honestly, I'd have an easier time with complex numbers, had they been introduced as "complex numbers" instead of "imaginary numbers"
12:36 <Cepheid> Because of the distinction of terms, my brain... doesn't work right when I try to comprehend them.
12:37 * Cepheid would read the Wikipedia article on them to try and remember how they work, exactly. But that's like trying to make a psychiatrist read a quantum physicist's paper on quantum mechanics.
12:40 <Schism> "Wait, are you using this mathematics paper as a buildup to a giant 'imaginary friends' pun?"
12:41 <Cepheid> ... I have no idea why just now, the geometric interpretation of imaginary numbers has "clicked" for me.
12:41 <Schism> Hehe.
12:42 <Cepheid> I think it's because when I see an example of the imaginary number plane, my mind defaults to cartesian geometry.
12:42 <Cepheid> That is, I can't interpret the y axis as being the imaginary axis. I see it as a simple, vertical, real axsis.
12:43 <Schism> And now there's that Z line.
12:43 <Cepheid> 3D doesn't bother me as much, for some reason.
12:43 <Cepheid> Outside of the different orientations that exist.
12:43 <Cepheid> Orientation's a bit of a problem with 3D modelling and game engines.
12:44 <RazorSharpFang> Don't learn about quaternions.
12:44 <Cepheid> Already know 'em.
12:45 <Cepheid> When it comes to the orientation stuff, I'm referring to the problem in which the axes can be defined differently.
12:45 <Cepheid> In some 3D editors, Y is treated as up and down. In some engines, Y is treated as in and out from the screen. For an example.
12:46 <RazorSharpFang> I view Z as being vertical, with X and Y being the two horizontal axes.
12:46 <Cepheid> It results in... issues, when importing.
12:47 <Cepheid> You usually have to rotate 90 degrees along some axis to resolve the issue.
12:47 <Cepheid> Myself, I am used to the default OpenGL interpretation.
12:48 <Cepheid> Which is a right-handed coordinate system. X goes to the left and right, Y goes up and down, Z goes in and out.
12:49 <Cepheid> That said, in modern OpenGL, it's moot. With shaders, it's possible to use any coordinate system you want.
12:50 <RazorSharpFang> Even those with the axes at non-right-angles?
12:51 <Cepheid> So long as the output is at most a 4-vector(X, Y, Z, homogonous coordinate W), you can use whatever mathematics you want to create the output of a vertex shader.
12:52 <Cepheid> As a result, you technically don't even have to use the input vertices for anything.
12:52 <Cepheid> You can dynamically create new vertices, using the inputs only as some way to distinctly identify which vertex is being worked on.
12:53 <Cepheid> That's why people can pull off amazing stuff with literally just shaders, on some of those webgl websites.
12:54 <RazorSharpFang> I wonder how long until someone ports Doom to shaders.
12:54 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure it's already been done, at this point.
12:55 <Cepheid> https://www.shadertoy.com/view/lldGDr
12:55 <Cepheid> Not exactly the original DOOM, but..
12:56 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, it's almost 9 PM, gotta have a work meeting.
12:57 <Cepheid> I'll ask around regarding an actual DOOM Engine port in HLSL and GLSL in the discord I'm on. It's run by a well-known DOOM modder, who's mods I've shown to a few of you. It's also host to a bunch of DOOM modding parasitse. They'd likely know if an actual port to GLSL, HLSL, SPIR-V or some other shader language has been done.

13:25 <Cepheid> You wouldn't be able to spread the individual parts out, though.
13:25 <LibrarianofHope> what is the weirdest case youv seen?
13:26 <Cepheid> The basic gist of the problem there is as the components are spread out, longer wire traces are required, which results in greater resistance, chance of interference, etc. Ultimately it'd require specialized hardware, and have all sorts of problems involved.
13:26 <Cepheid> Hmm, weirdest case...
13:26 <Cepheid> Any system cooled by LN2.
13:26 <LibrarianofHope> liquid cooling?

13:27 <Cepheid> Liquid Nitrogen.
13:28 <LibrarianofHope> heck
13:28 <Cepheid> Basically, these are specialized setups that use liquid nitrogen, or some other some extremely cold liquid or material, to cool components such as to break world records.
13:29 <Cepheid> I can see the concept being used in supercomputers, too.
13:29 <LibrarianofHope> must get really fast results
13:30 <Cepheid> Not sure. Never investigated how they tested them.
13:30 <Cepheid> Just that they've pulled off overclocks of 8GHz or higher.
13:31 <LibrarianofHope> i tried overcloking a tablet once
13:31 <LibrarianofHope> i succeded, but broke the thing

16:47 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/ChrisHallbeck/status/1286341757605732353/photo/1
16:47 <LibrarianofHope> worth the shot
16:48 <LibrarianofHope> as far as i know is the favorite person of a dog isnt around they will go to whoever is available to not feel lonely
16:49 <Cepheid> That would be my sister, yes.
16:49 <Cepheid> And, I presume, because of my relation with my sister, I'm the next best thing.
16:49 <LibrarianofHope> yes
16:49 <Cepheid> Anyways, be right back. Gonna head upstairs now.
16:50 <LibrarianofHope> could be worse,some dogs get bad separation anxiety
16:50 <Schism> Cepheid: Count the minutes...!
16:54 <Cepheid> The thing is, from a behavioral perspective, this dog is perfect for my sister.
16:55 <Cepheid> My sister is the extreme opposite of me, an extrovert the the extreme. She needs to have someone around at all times. This dog, with it's need for constant human presence? Perfect for my sister.
16:56 <Schism> That is, yes! Especially in a place like Nunavut.
16:57 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, if you get too close to me, I will bite you.
16:57 <Cepheid> Unless you're a cat.
16:58 <Schism> Or a fox, I should hope.
16:58 <Cepheid> Eeeehhhh... Depends.
17:00 * Schism does not say those things that Elvys said.
17:00 <Cepheid> I understand that foxen though, are basically dogs in cat-like hardware.
17:01 <Schism> Well, you look at fennecs and such, that's about right.
17:01 <Schism> Which makes it peculiar that I chose such a thing.
17:05 <Cepheid> Even regular red foxes and such, I'm told, are energetic as all get out.
17:05 <Schism> And meanwhile, I'm lethargic as all [yay].
17:08 <PinkieShy> I'm.. Impressed..

17:09 <PinkieShy> The radio app for the siriusXm actually played all the music well on my walk
17:09 <PinkieShy> Even though i lost signal.. It still played which I'm only guessing was downloaded in the cache so it still played. :)
17:10 <PinkieShy> Dumb to walk this hot though.. 37°C out there >_>
17:12 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's not a safe temperature to be e exercising in. Bring water if you insist
17:17 * Cepheid realizes she never did her final set of exercises.
17:21 <Cepheid> And one more set of crunches in 5 minutes to finish those.

17:32 <Cepheid> You know, I thought I was just imagining it, but I have lost some fat on my torso.
17:33 <Cepheid> Laying flat on the hardwood floor, I can tell. Used to be the fat along the sides of my belly would slump down and rest on the floor. Not any more.
17:37 <Schism> gaaaaaaaah. Okay. When you try to help someone by saying 'Hey, here are options available to you' and she just says 'NOPE!' and curls up into a ball, there's only a limited amount of [yay]s I can give.
17:38 <LibrarianofHope> the ball part is specefici
17:38 <Schism> I want to help in every single way because she's sweet but whenever I reach out with a paw she bats it away, so... nyerp.

17:40 <Cepheid> Hmm?
17:46 <LibrarianofHope> im still bothered by the weird reaction my doggie girl had yestarday
17:47 <LibrarianofHope> im not sure what made her not want to follow me, and not knowig in general bothers me
18:02 <Cepheid> Note to self. Call doctor tomorrow. Confirmed I have an infection.
18:02 <Schism> Erfxflbih.
18:02 <Schism> Cepheid: These nail polish bottles annoy me in an unsatisfactory way.
18:02 <Cepheid> They aren't designed the best, yeah.
18:02 <Schism> Oh, no, it's not that. It's the branding.
18:03 <Schism> 85% Natural Ingredients.
18:04 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:04 <Cepheid> And still smells like alcohol and other chemicals.
18:05 <Schism> Because it is.
18:07 <Schism> This is interesting.
18:08 <Schism> Glossy nails.
18:08 <Schism> Bottom coat alone...
18:10 <LibrarianofHope> wonder is its the same priciple as painting
18:10 <LibrarianofHope> primer the nail and then paint?

18:13 <Cepheid> Not quite, LibrarianofHope. No primer as far as I am aware, but you can apply a hardener and other stuff atop it.
18:13 <LibrarianofHope> seems like a pain
18:14 <Cepheid> Nails are porous and rough enough that no special primer is needed
18:14 <LibrarianofHope> that makes sense
18:14 <Cepheid> And honestly, isn't anything pretty, cute, cool and the like always a pain?
18:15 <LibrarianofHope> depends

18:15 <LibrarianofHope> seems like a paint to me in particular, feels like a lot of effort something that will go away fairly quick
18:16 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, actually, that's not too far off.
18:16 <Schism> A bottom coat to ensure that the paint remains there, and to ensure that it spreads evenly across the nail.
18:17 <Cepheid> Oh? Bottom coat? News to me.
18:17 <TwilightSparkle> For Celestia's sake, why does this keep happening.
18:17 <Cepheid> Then again, I only experimented a bit with nail polish.
18:17 * Starlight_Glimmer sits in TwilightSparkle. "Can we make your our new leader? There is this Ali person right now, really and oddball."
18:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> an*
18:18 * Starlight_Glimmer snickers
18:18 <LibrarianofHope> very cute thought
18:18 <LibrarianofHope> this ali person
18:18 <Schism> Cepheid, yea, there's actually a bottom coat to cover the nail, and a top coat to strengthen it (like a top coat of glaze).
18:18 <Cepheid> Enough to get a compliment from my mother, and advice to remove it before my dad sees.
18:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> TwilightSparkle: Same time of day everyday?
18:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> also on*
18:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> I've been writing too much German again.

18:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> Your IPv6 address appears to have changed.
18:20 <Cepheid> Lease expiration?
18:21 <Ali> I don't know, it just keeps happening every darn day and its getting old.
18:21 <Ali> But only ONCE
18:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah I thought the privacy extension thingy having re-rolled or a dhcp6 lease maybe.
18:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> For now I'd disable IPv6 and see if that "fixes" it. If that helps one can work from there.
18:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> Keep in mind: That will disconnect you once more.
18:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> (You don't usually need IPv6. IPv6-only services are rare. I wouldn't recommend keeping it disabled permanently though)
18:24 <Schism> When you realize that your choice of pink is in fact closer to cerise...
18:25 <LibrarianofHope> what sahde did you want?
18:25 <LibrarianofHope> shade?
18:28 <LibrarianofHope> i think i learned a bit of color theory by trial and error owo
18:29 <Schism> I was admittedly looking for something closer to cherry.
18:29 <Schism> The blossom, that is.
18:29 <LibrarianofHope> maybe pink plus a light violet
18:30 * Schism waits for the top coat to dry again.
18:30 <Schism> Er, bottom coat.
18:30 <Starlight_Glimmer> I wish we would stop assigning silly names to colors.
18:31 <LibrarianofHope> dont complaint, i have to learn colors with weird naes
18:31 <LibrarianofHope> maccrage blue, balthaza gold
18:31 <LibrarianofHope> las one is actually bronze
18:31 <Starlight_Glimmer> Sometimes I hear people talking about odd colors and I have literally no clue what they're talking about.
18:31 <LibrarianofHope> nuln oil
18:31 <Cepheid> I'd prefer a light pink, or an electric violet.
18:31 <Starlight_Glimmer> Just meaningless words.
18:32 <LibrarianofHope> i think nuln oil is a form of ink
18:35 <Cepheid> Hullo thar Spitfire, where have you been?
18:40 <Schism> Darnit. No, the variant I picked up is a bright, eye-searing pink.
18:41 <Schism> However, since I am unused to painting miniature figurines, I suppose I should practice with this white matte instead.
18:46 * Cepheid noms an egg.
18:47 <Lumindia> ehg
18:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> Lumindia!
18:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> I have a gift for you!
18:48 <LibrarianofHope> an egg?
18:48 * Starlight_Glimmer presents a bee in a bottle to Lumindia.
18:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> Bottle not included
18:49 * Lumindia sets everything on firfe
18:49 <Lumindia> D:
18:49 <LibrarianofHope> who lent Lumindia the flame throwe
18:49 <Starlight_Glimmer> See the silly thing flew into my bottle when I was sitting at the table in our garden.
18:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> There's a deposit on the bottle. Couldn't just leave it there, but the silly thing also didn't want to come out
18:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> So I trapped it. Now I have a bee in a bottle.
18:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> It is still alive!
19:10 * Schism shakes the nail polish bottle. Hears the clicks. "Now that brings back memmmmmmmmmokay gee clear sort of thing.
19:16 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:18 <Schism> Still upset I got the wrong pink. Oh well.

19:20 * Schism snugs the Ali. "Tiiired. And wantin' to see if I can paint my nails."
19:20 <Schism> Had a very nice blue-pink-and-white idea, but the pink is too cherry.
19:21 * Ali nod nods and licks Schism
19:29 <Cepheid> Whelp. I knew this was gonna happen. Legs aren't taking too kindly to having been shaved. Too bad.
19:30 <Schism> Today I have learned a very valuable lesson.
19:30 <Schism> The colours you see in the makeup aisle of Shoppers are in fact comprised entirely of lies and falsehoods.
19:31 <Cepheid> Nail polish is basically paint. You should have expected this.
19:37 <Cepheid> Basically, the fluid color and solidified colors are different.
19:37 <Schism> I know, and lighting varies greatly.
19:38 <Schism> However, I was not intending to purchase a very, very faint blue colour when I saw a plain white in the store.
19:41 <Schism> That baby blue is fine, though. I might be making more use of that.

22:27 <Tirek> Ack! My rootbeer went sour.
22:27 <Schism> Augh!
22:28 <Cepheid> It's because you put it in something square.
22:28 <Tirek> Gotta figure out what caused that. I have two theories.
22:28 <Schism> More likely the result of a bad microbe, Cepheid.
22:28 <Tirek> One is that I leave it ferment too long, or two, it might be the raisins I use at the start as nutrient for the tibicos grains.
22:29 <Schism> Hmm. The latter could be...
22:29 <Cepheid> Yes, well, I was trying to be silly.
22:29 <Tirek> Nah, if it was just something square, there's be decimal sugars
