02:47 * Schism pokes the Ali with a nail. Not a sharp one, though. https://imgur.com/a/2AYud70

02:48 * Schism snuggles the Ali. Ish cute fuzzball.

02:48 * Ali ish not cute

03:02 <Schism> I would say cerulean, but this is lighter.

03:06 <Nedemai> something isn't getting the colour right if it is cerulean.

03:06 <Schism> Would that nail polish had hexcodes.

03:08 <Nedemai> Well, top notch application at least. Smooth, no flaws that I can see.

03:13 <Schism> Bad lighting, bad camera.  :S

03:34 * Schism imagines Trump waking up in a restaurant. The waiter says, "Trump trump? Trump trump trump." The singer, wearing Trump's face, goes "Trump truuuuump~" And the menu is all Trump.

03:37 <Ali> Did he end up in the world of Trumpimon?

03:37 <Schism> John Trump.  Trump Malkovich.  Whatever.

03:41 <Nedemai> I imagine a brass band, all ... trumpets

03:42 <Nedemai> trump and the trumpets ... just a solid G for too minutes straight, blaaaaaaaaah

13:41 <Heartbreak> I like turtles.

13:42 <Nedemai> morning

13:58 <Alice> Can I not go one semester without the university ****ing up something?

13:59 * Alice hands Heartbreak a turtle with a button on it's shell. šŸ¢

13:59 * Nedemai hears a squeaky voice exclaim "hello!"

14:00 <Nedemai> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI5_sQ8O-7Y

14:01 <Alice> Heh.

14:03 <Alice> Anyhow, basically the university left a message on my phone, to tell me that their system shows me as not registered for the next semester.  I just checked.  I am.

14:03 <Nedemai> uuuugh.... been there done that

14:04 <Alice> They also left no indication as to which department called, who the caller was, nor a phone number to call.  Just a promise they will call again in the next few days.

14:04 * Jackie pets Nedemai

14:05 <Nedemai> Alice, yea anyone who tries to call me with a private number or a machine will be treated to my apathy.

14:05 <Nedemai> if you are not a person do not call my phone, if you can't show me who you are I don't care who you are

14:05 <Alice> Yeah this was a private number which leads me to be a bit suspicious at this point.

14:06 <Nedemai> lol Jackie, I must be cute like a kitten

14:06 <Jackie> I like petting ponies

14:07 <Alice> If they call again I'm just gonna tell em.  "I'm registered in three courses, this one, this one and this one.  Please fix your damned systems."

14:08 <Nedemai> Well Im not too sure how much that might help you, but I get your annoyance

14:08 <Alice> Knowing the university, the problem is likely that their system shows me as part-time because my course load is reduced.  But I also listed as permanently disabled so I am allowed to take a reduced course load and still be considered full time.

14:08 <Nedemai> yea, something like 60%

14:09 <Nedemai> I am register the same way

14:09 <Nedemai> if I wasn't I would have likely never got my diplomas... I have a lot of issues making deadlines >.>

14:10 <Alice> As far as I can tell there is next to nil communication between departments.

14:10 <Nedemai> hey, just like our government!

14:12 <Alice> Their automated systems have been telling me that I owe them $200 for a transit pass since as far back as December.  A transit pass I wouldn't have been able to use even if I paid for it because I wasn't attending university for the Winter semester.

14:12 <Alice> Had their system known I wasn't attending university it would stop harassing me.  Unfortunately even telling the university this didn't stop it.

14:14 <Alice> Anyhoo..

14:14 <Alice> Food and rest time.  Headache ahoy.

14:20 <Nedemai> so, fox news released a rather interesting story

14:20 <Nedemai> "With Pentagon UFO unit in the spotlight, report mentions 'off-world vehicles not made on this earth'"

14:21 <Nedemai> the newyorktimes also reported the story, and im more inclined the believe them

14:22 <Alice> o.O

14:22 <Nedemai> https://www.foxnews.com/science/pentagon-ufo-unit-spotlight-vehicles-earth

14:22 <Nedemai> https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/us/politics/pentagon-ufo-harry-reid-navy.html

14:23 <Alice> https://xkcd.com/ Heh

14:24 <Nedemai> as an electronics technician, i intimately get this comic

14:24 <Nedemai> in other news, I used a cheese grater to the same end

14:24 <Alice> Heh.

14:27 <Alice> Way I see it, if alien craft have crashed on this planet, then it would be of benefit for science, at the least, to know.  Because it means that our understanding of physics is flawed somewhere, and that a means of fast, targeted interstellar travel is possible.  It would cause scientists around the world to want to be the first to figure out how it was done.

14:28 <Alice> It'd inspire them.

14:29 <Alice> Of course it would also inspire "they are among us" conspiracy theories leading to persecution based on trivial details in an attempt to root them out.  A witch hunt if you will.

14:35 <Alice> Hum.  Looks like my legs have finally recovered from my first attempts to shave them.  That's good.

14:36 <Alice> Course, would have helped had I used a fresh razor to do them.

14:39 <Nedemai> I had a strong idea where part of the physics is "flawed' as it were, and it has to do with how we treat 0

14:39 <Nedemai> but I lack math background to work out the proofs

14:40 <Nedemai> mostly, 0 as a concept has an issue. we can create a 0 point relative, and I use the word relative, to say ourselves

14:40 <Nedemai> but to create true zero in the universe requires removal from the universe

14:40 <Nedemai> so zero as a place hold really doesn't make much sense, we can always approach it, but never reach it

14:41 <Nedemai> unless we set a point in space relative to ourselves, then we have limits and a "zero" point

14:42 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-7fk.cgs.170.124.IP) (Connection closed)

14:43 <Alice> Finwe would be able to help determine the validity of zero.

14:44 <Alice> But as it is, the concept of zero is needed as some sort of reference point in some fields.

14:44 <Alice> It's true that we could remove it from a lot of areas though.

14:45 <Jackie_> People here would hate me but I'm against closed species

14:45 <Nedemai> well the concept im talking about is... I can have an apple, and relative to myself, that apple can be taken away and Im left with zero apples... but to the universe, that apples energy and matter will never disappear

14:45 <Alice> Binary, the signals values can just be on/off, or for simplicity, 1 or 2.

14:45 <Alice> Mm.

14:46 <Jackie_> I'm never in the favor of liking the concept of closed species because 1. if you draw a closed species you simply don't own the art

14:47 <Jackie_> And 2. it's a dumb idea to profit a species

14:47 <Alice> In that case, the reality is that the number of apples hasn't changed.  What has changed is how many apples two objects has.  One went from m to m - 1.  The other went from n to n + 1

14:47 <Nedemai> Jackie_, first time ive ever heard of "closed species", at a glance I would side with you

14:57 <Alice> Guh.  Caught that headache in time.

14:58 <Alice> Hum.  The recent weightloss and exercise is having long-term effects.

14:58 <Nedemai> i get to call the crtc tday

14:59 <Alice> I'm waking up with my blood-glucose consistently around 6.0 mmol/L now.

14:59 <Alice> Oh?

15:00 <Finwe> 6 is within acceptable limits.

15:01 <Finwe> I have extended limits for blood sugar after fasting, though. 4ā€“10 mmol/l.

15:07 <Alice> Given prior to the exercise it was more common to wake up to around 10 mmol/L...

15:08 <Alice> Alas I have had to stop exercising.  I've developed an infection, sinuses it seems, with lungs as secondary.

15:10 <Nedemai> iikick

15:10 <Nedemai> I hope you are okay Alice

15:12 <Alice> I'm fine.  It's a known problem.  Had it for a decade and a half.  The sinus issues anyways.  Lungs only got bad in the last few years.  I blame it on a round with pneumonia.  Probably made me more susceptible to lung iussues

15:14 <Alice> Just know, I'm working on it, and it hasn't killed me yet.  And it likely won't.  Doesn't get so bad that a mask interferes with my breathing, like some folks with legitimate breathing conditions affected by masks.

15:17 <Alice> The day something other than old age kills me, it'll either be murder, or something else that's really, really bad, and my death should be the least of your concerns and you should be getting off the planet or locking yourself in an airtight bunker with equipment to deal with CO2 and oxygen production for a few months.

16:35 <Alice> Infinite clocks.  At first when you explore, it's just a few here and there.  Then you encounter a room that is just absolutely packed wall to wall with clocks.

16:44 <LibrarianofHope> owo

16:44 <Nedemai> then I have this transistor clock which drives a pendulum for timing, it has this massive induction coil

16:45 <LibrarianofHope> the old ones use whale oil did ya know?

16:45 <Alice> How long can such clocks run without manual intervention?

16:45 <Nedemai> LibrarianofHope, you mean to old wooden ones?

16:45 <LibrarianofHope> yeah

16:45 <LibrarianofHope> we have a grandfather type one in my house

16:45 <Nedemai> Alice, I had it run off a D battery for about 4 months, then one night I turned off most of my clocks

16:46 <Nedemai> its a mechanical clock fully with a circuit to wind its spring, its so neat

16:46 <LibrarianofHope> the clocksmith that services it comes every so often , oils it with whale oil

16:46 <LibrarianofHope> or so i been told

16:46 <Nedemai> LibrarianofHope, I dont have any wooden clocks, everything i have is brass. I have used oil, but I try to be sparing. I don't have clock oil

16:46 <Nedemai> I've used sewing machine oil, which works but isn't ideal

16:47 <Alice> Ah, I see.  You use the electrical components to rewind the clock when it is about to run low, or after a certain amount of time.

16:47 <LibrarianofHope> i dont know that much about clocks

16:47 <LibrarianofHope> been around them all my life,they dont hold much interest

16:47 <LibrarianofHope> they are part of the background, in a nice familair way

16:47 <Nedemai> lol

16:48 <Alice> Myself, I want to get to know the devices I work with on a regular basis a bit more intimately.  I want to get into electronics and low-level programming.

16:48 <Nedemai> eh, all things considered. I know the way I oil is a bit taboo, but most almost all my clocks I recieved non working

16:48 <Nedemai> so, I dont care, they work now!

16:49 <Alice> Oh gods.  Propranolol with a triptan.  Bad bad bad idea.

16:49 <Nedemai> Alice, I can certainly help with mechanical knowledge, especially electronics

16:50 <Nedemai> I also know the 6502 processor intimately, for what its worth XD

16:50 * Nedemai laughs

16:50 <Alice> The propranolol is making me drowsy and loopy.  The triptan meanwhile is knocking out my headache/migraine just fine, but it is also making me drowsy and clouding my brain.

16:52 <Alice> I have to keep my right eye closed to see right.

16:53 <Alice> School called again, dealt with issue.

16:54 <Alice> They don't know why I'm on the list of unregistered students.  I told them about my permanent disability and they think that's what is up.  Automated systems, gotta love 'em.

16:55 <Nedemai> thats discrimination

16:55 <Alice> Oh, I told them willingly without them asking.

16:56 <Alice> They aren't doing anything wrong.  They are just calling people to make sure they registered for the upcoming school year.

16:57 <Nedemai> yea but if the system is calling you thinking you aren't registered because of a disabled status, its ... somewhat targettng

16:57 <Nedemai> whoever programmed it didn't treat it correctly

16:57 <Alice> It's just for some reason, I ended up on that list despite having registered the moment I was able to.  It's likely their automated system saw I had only registered in 3 courses instead of the minimum 4 for most students.

16:57 <Alice> Mmhmm.

16:58 <Alice> I don't really consider it discrimination though.  It doesn't really  impact me or do anything.  Just a mild annoyance.

21:12 <Alice> Looks like, if I want to, I can do 25 pushups now.  Just barely though.

21:20 <Alice> Parents face a conundrum.  They went and killed, and prepared some chickens at my uncle's "farm" for the meat.

21:20 <Alice> Problem is, they no longer want to eat chicken.

21:23 <LibrarianofHope> eat them later?

21:24 <LibrarianofHope> i mean the chickens are alredy dead

21:25 <Alice> Basically the plan yeah.  Shove the meat into the freezer for storage.

21:25 <Schism> Alice: If only there were some combination of chicken broth and meat to which vegetables and, perhaps, noodles or barley could be added, providing a filling meal which keeps well.

21:28 <LibrarianofHope> in the beaches you sometimes find kids begging , but they ask " te muevo la pancita por un peso"

21:28 <LibrarianofHope> which means "ill jiggle my tummy for a coin"

21:28 <Alice> So much for the rest of my exercise sets.  Ah well, prolly for the best given I'm sick.

21:29 <LibrarianofHope> its sometimes used as a joke, like asking for a coin from a friend

21:29 <LibrarianofHope> or staring at a stomach

22:17 <LibrarianofHope> dont sweat it, itsa waste of energy

22:18 <Alice> If I don't show much in the way of improvement of my health by the end of the week, I plan to get tested again.

22:18 <LibrarianofHope> so long as you keep yourself safe

22:18 <Alice> I already have enough trouble breathing clearly enough to sleep.

22:19 <LibrarianofHope> might wanna stay away from your sister

22:21 <LibrarianofHope> your sister aside

22:21 <LibrarianofHope> worriyng about extroverts going out wont get you anywhere

22:21 <LibrarianofHope> forcing others to do things is a drain of resources

22:23 <Finwe> o3o

22:23 <LibrarianofHope> on what part?

22:24 <Alice> Everything.  People need to fucking learn to listen to basic common sense.  I have been stuck inside this damned house for 8 months now to appease my parents, and then my bitch of a sister comes along, acts like a god damned moron and you tell me I shouldn't be sweating it?  Fuck you.

22:25 <Alice> She knew the rules of the lockdown.  She knew my health was bad.

22:25 <LibrarianofHope> that is what i mean

22:25 <Finwe> Nothing very incomprehensible about exp(-Ļ€/2), I think.

22:25 <LibrarianofHope> why are are you insulting me? insult her

22:26 <Alice> I'm insulting YOU for telling me to not sweat this.  Because it implies you aren't taking this seriously, and people who don't piss me off.

22:26 <LibrarianofHope> i am

22:26 <LibrarianofHope> i am rationalizaing it

22:26 <Alice> It's people who don't take this seriously that are making this all worse again.

22:27 * Alice goes off to do something else rather than argue about this. She's tired of the stupidity.

22:27 <Lumindia> I get where you're coming from, but lashing out at people isn't going to really solve anything. My grandmother is in her late 80s, and my stepmother has trouble breathing on the best of days.

22:28 <Lumindia> If either of them get it, they're basically as good as dead

22:29 <LibrarianofHope> neck hurts, every day something in my back hurts

22:32 <Alice> Lumindia, think about it from my perspective.  I have listened since the start of the lockdown, and to my parents wishes.  The virus stopped spreading.  We flattened the curve here.  Huzzah.  Now I am seeing people act like idiots, not taking this seriously, and expressing comments and ideas that serve only to make things worse, and I'm still being told to stay indoors while people like my idiot sister gets to go out, hang out with f

22:33 <LibrarianofHope> ok, but do not call others idiots or insult me

22:33 <LibrarianofHope> you do not know my ideas or calculations

22:33 <Alice> Don't you dare tell me what is and isn't right when you know damned well you're in the wrong.

22:33 <LibrarianofHope> im not wrong, i agrred with you

22:34 <LibrarianofHope> problem is you have strong enough anger issues that you cannot do anything but lash

22:34 <Alice> Tell me.  Was it worth the surge of cases?  Ignoring distancing rules, common sense and basic decency?

22:34 <LibrarianofHope> thats not my complaint

22:34 <Alice> Is the 70,000+ people getting sick a day, the 1,000 worth it?

22:34 <LibrarianofHope> do not insut us

22:34 <LibrarianofHope> or demean us

22:34 <Lumindia> "Oh hey, the cases are dropping off, let's re-open! Wait why are the cases spiking again?"

22:35 <Lumindia> The vast majority, probably. >.>

22:35 <Alice> You don't want me to demean you?

22:35 <LibrarianofHope> your anger isnt a free card to do what you want

22:35 <Alice> Then don't tell me to not take this seriously.

22:35 <LibrarianofHope> i can apoligize for that

22:35 <Alice> Not enough.

22:35 <LibrarianofHope> i mispoke

22:36 <LibrarianofHope> dont demand that, thtas the problem

22:36 <Alice> I want you to promise me that you will listen to organizations like the CDC, WHO, and local equivalent, and bloody stay home.

22:36 <Alice> Then you're a part of the damned problem.

22:36 <LibrarianofHope> im already doing that

22:36 <LibrarianofHope> im staying home

22:36 <LibrarianofHope> that is not the issue

22:37 <LibrarianofHope> dont demand things of me

22:37 <Alice> Your commentary suggested otherwise.

22:37 <Lumindia> Personally, I'm not able to stay home because what I do is considered an essential business, but while I'm there I always wear a mask when interacting with customers, and we make sure we have masks ready to go on the off-chance that, for some reason, someone DOESN'T have a mask.

22:37 <LibrarianofHope> i like and all, but you need to curb your anger

22:37 <Lumindia> only things I leave home to do are go to work and grocery shopping

22:37 <Alice> And given I'm one of the at risk groups, I feel I'm obligated to some rights to tell you what to do.

22:38 <LibrarianofHope> you are not wrong and not even a bad person

22:38 <LibrarianofHope> its just that attacking others doesnt work

22:38 <Alice> I will curb my anger until you understand the reason for my anger.

22:38 <LibrarianofHope> you have anger issues

22:38 <LibrarianofHope> i seen them for years

22:38 <Lumindia> Libriarian: Id on't think constantly bringing that up is going to help matters
