00:13 * Nedemai follows Ali

00:22 *** Quits: ryaxnb22 (ryaxnb@Pony-i7u332.ca.comcast.net) (Connection closed)

00:30 <PinkieShy> My dad needs a new phone i believe..

00:31 <PinkieShy> 2nd time this month his phone has froze up on a black screen.. He woke me up to help him fix it :)

00:31 <PinkieShy> Had to hold the power button down for a few seconds to force reboot which helped..

00:32 <PinkieShy> Going to look at phones for him.. That 1yr old Moto g6 isn't holding up to good just like My g7 (my Phone freezes up here and there)

01:04 <Lumindia_> so we just finished up treasure map night for our FC in XIV

01:04 <Lumindia_> VERY good run this week

01:15 * Lumindia_ boops the Schism

02:08 <Nedemai> yea, if the chips start to seperate from the board you can get problems like that

02:08 <Nedemai> caused by overheating

02:08 <Nedemai> and some phones are worse for it than others

04:15 <PinkieShy> Darn spam texts >_>

04:15 <PinkieShy> It says its from somebody's gmail address..

04:27 * Ali spams PinkieShy with yawns

04:29 <PinkieShy> The person that caused a panic attack 3 months ago wants me to add her as a friend apparently..

04:30 <PinkieShy> Honestly I don't know about it.. I feel weird just thinking accepting their request would be ok.

04:30 <PinkieShy> Probably need to think more.

04:32 * Ali ponyshrugs and noms PinkieShy ears.

04:43 <PinkieShy> oh god.. She sent a friend request on VRC now.. o.o

04:45 * PrincessRainbows looks up at Ali and wags her tail hard cause happy filly

04:45 * PinkieShy hugs PrincessRainbows tightly

04:45 * Ali brushies the happy filly

04:45 <PinkieShy> Is it understandable not knowing if i should trust a person who hurt me in the past..

04:46 <PinkieShy> I wanna be friends with everyone but.. I don't want what happened in the past to happen again.

04:47 <PrincessRainbows> I'm not one to say because... Reasons

04:48 <PinkieShy> What's odd though lion king quotes is floating in my head

04:48 <PrincessRainbows> And yes, very understandable

04:49 <PinkieShy> The quote i am thinking of right now at the same time is "YEs, the past can hurt sometimes but it doesn't matter its in the past"

04:49 * PrincessRainbows shares some sugar cubes and hay with PinkieShy

04:50 <PrincessRainbows> Except people may or may not change

04:53 <PrincessRainbows> Like someone being an yay does not say if they will be in the future. It does have an effect but not for certain

04:55 * PrincessRainbows hugs Ali and rolls over for belly rubs

04:55 <PinkieShy> There is one person that made me so mad on VRC that i wanna snap so bad but wanna keep my cool so i blocked them..

04:55 * Ali rubs PrincessRainbows belly, unicorn can't add to this convo cause unicorn doesn't have any good things from social stories.

04:56 <PinkieShy> They were spreading lies about me.

04:58 <PrincessRainbows> So do my parents, and I never did find a good approach other than to not care

05:01 <PrincessRainbows> I don't think they're going to kick me out soon and it's a lose-lose to even leave my room

05:03 * PrincessRainbows climbs up onto Ali. Yay! Good horsey!

05:03 * Ali hugs on PrincessRainbows so much

05:05 <PrincessRainbows> I do know from experience that I am terrible with situations like this

05:17 * PrincessRainbows trots off for a bit after licking all the horseys

05:30 * PrincessRainbows returns with her favorite plushie and pacifier then grabby hooves at Ali

05:31 * Ali scoops up PrincessRainbows and snuffles her tightly

05:32 * PrincessRainbows whinnies happily

05:54 * PrincessRainbows hugs Ali a lot and makes more silly filly noises

05:55 * Ali huggles PrincessRainbows as unicorn is a bit of a bored pono.

05:56 <PrincessRainbows> :(

06:05 <PinkieShy> I died from a man eating fish in VRC :(

06:06 <PinkieShy> Its part of horror map i am on

06:29 * PrincessRainbows boops Ali with a PinkieShy and yays

07:18 <Alice> I hardly see how a man eating fish can be so scary,  It's just a man, eating fish.

07:19 <PinkieShy> pff

07:19 <PinkieShy> Alice its not that XD Its a fish that ate me alive.

07:22 <Alice> Then it was a man-eating fish.  The hyphen matters.

07:26 <PinkieShy> Alright xD

07:27 <PinkieShy> You made me seriously LOL

07:34 * PrincessRainbows decides to go to sleep. Night

07:35 * PinkieShy hugs PrincessRainbows and gives her a fluffy bunny plushie

07:36 * PrincessRainbows clutches the bunny and boops PinkieShy with her snoot

07:36 <Ali> I'm pondering sleep but for me, forcing sleep is about as bad as staying up.

07:37 <Alice> I'm pondering just going back to bed, myself.  Woke up because I was hungry and thirsty.

07:42 <Alice> Arachnophobic people request/make a mod to change the Spidertron.

07:42 <Alice> Meanwhile, for those of us with apiphobia, someone goes and does this: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/bumble-bots

07:43 <Ali> So you can tell your bots to buzz off *shot*

07:45 <Alice> Won't lie though, that's a relatively high quality mod.

07:46 <Alice> They even changed the roboport to a structure that sort of fits the style of the game.

07:51 * PrincessRainbows has had bad insomnia so boops Ali's horn for sleepy magic or something

07:52 * Ali cant' give sleep magic. Can give PrincessRainbows comfort cuddlings though.

07:52 * PrincessRainbows pouts but yay

07:53 <PrincessRainbows> I miss having a sleep schedule

07:53 <Alice> The problem with sleeping medication or(I assume) sleeping magic is that it tends to have after effects which leave you feeling like crap anyways.

07:53 <Alice> Sure, it helps you sleep, and makes the next day bearable, but you're left feeling groggy.

07:54 <Alice> Never quite fully awake.

07:54 <PrincessRainbows> It's been between 3h and 14h a day with no fixed time

07:54 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

07:55 * PrincessRainbows crawls into bed anyway

07:55 <Alice> My sleep cycle is off, too.  About 16-18 hours awake, 8-10 hours sleep.

07:55 <Alice> The end-result is that I slowly cycle forward over time.

07:56 <Alice> As it is, I'm currently sleeping from about 5-6 PM to 3 AM.

07:57 * PrincessRainbows looks up at Ali and hugs

07:58 * Ali pat pats PrincessRainbows and huggles

07:58 <Ali> I stayed up till 11am, I haven't done that in ages.

07:58 <Ali> I blame Factorio for that though

07:58 <Alice> https://www.redbubble.com/i/hoodie/Under-Construction-by-Queen-Combat/41880785.60IGE Someone buy me this.  XL.

08:00 * Ali puts up she wants pony playmats. Too bad jerks are still overcharging them and she can't play Magic anyway right now.

08:01 * PrincessRainbows clutches Ali like a plushie and goes sleepy like a good little filly

09:02 * ConfusionRift boops Alice. "Message received." :P

09:02 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

09:05 <Alice> It was just in case I wasn't around when you logged on. :P

09:05 * ConfusionRift nodnods.

09:06 <ConfusionRift> Guessing taking a break for today?

09:06 <Alice> Nah, I'll be on today, just a break for now.  To wake up.]

09:07 <Alice> I took melatonin supplements last night instead of seroquel, as I was out of seroquel(I called it in three days ago, but I can't go out and get it myself.  That's up to my parents, who, well...)

09:07 <Alice> So I'm a little groggy and in need of a stretching, maybe some ice water splashed in my face.

09:09 <ConfusionRift> Aaah.

09:11 <Alice> They were actually supposed to pick it up yesterday, but that changed when my uncle insisted my parents stay down in Cornwall for dinner, which meant they got home several hours later than intended.

09:12 <Alice> Anyhow, if you do jump on before I do, we're in need of a grid of accumulators.  Nothing large, but enough for at least 100MJ.  Just to deal with laser drain from the defenses.

09:22 <Alice> https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleDieInside/comments/idly6b/kitty_doesnt_know_how_to_handle_a_khajit/

09:22 <Alice> I'm surprised Spitfire doesn't do stuff like this.  Especially with the palicos in MHWorld.

09:23 <Alice> As they used pretty high-quality cat meow recordings for the palicos, and Spitfire really, really, *REALLY* does not like me watching cat videos with audio.

09:24 <ConfusionRift> I might, unsure though. Might just get a bite first. Just someone's cooking something right now.

09:24 <ConfusionRift> hehehe.

09:29 <Alice> Bowl of cereal wasn't enough.

09:29 * Alice grabs bowl of grapes. If still hungry after this, bowl of bagel.

09:29 <ConfusionRift> That same exact feeling.

09:30 <Alice> Lotta sugar for the morning, but at least it's a varied mix of foods.

09:31 <Alice> Cereal:  Grains, nuts, dairy.  Grapes:  Fruit.  Bagel:  Grains, a bit of dairy(Cream cheese).

09:34 <Alice> A better breakfast though for a diabetic would be bacon and eggs.

09:34 <Alice> Thing is, I don't know how to cook bacon, and eggs, well, I need a lot of eggs to even remotely fill me in the first place.

09:35 <Alice> Plus, I can't do them sunny side up or anything.  Current set of utensils for cooking are...

09:35 <Alice> They're not the best.

09:35 <ConfusionRift> That does sound good. Though... no bacon. Hmmm... yeah, gonna go for that, and maybe look for something bacon like.

09:35 <Alice> My parents buy from the dollar store a lot.  Think about that for five seconds.

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I get what you mean. Their utensils and cooking ware are not exactly... the best.

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Heck, their non-stick still sticks like any other pan.

09:37 <ConfusionRift> And they wear fast with normal use.

09:37 <Alice> In this case, it's more like the stuff, despite being advertised for cooking, isn't.  It's melting and deforming badly.

09:37 <Alice> There's also the issue in that much of it's flexible, or has weird lips to them that make getting under eggs a problem.

09:38 * ConfusionRift nods.

09:38 <ConfusionRift> A flat edge spatula.

09:38 <Alice> So, you go slide that spatula under the egg?  It gets all crumpled up instead, because of the lip.  Even if you manage it, somehow, well, it just falls off the spatula because it literally bends under the weight of one egg and flops off.

09:39 <Alice> You know...

09:39 <Alice> I have money.  I should save it for important stuff like schoolbooks and all that..

09:39 <ConfusionRift> Oh I know. We got some of them here.

09:39 <Alice> But I should splurge a bit on a good set of tools, since trusting my parents to buy anything of reasonable quality is impossible.

09:41 <ConfusionRift> If it's something like electronic tools, drivers, and power tools? Yeah, get them from anywhere else but dollar stores. Those will erode and start breaking as soon as they're out of the package.

09:42 <ConfusionRift> Just get stuff you wouldn't care to lose, or just need momentarily.

09:42 <Alice> Funny thing, me and my sister disagree on a lot of things.  We also agree on a lot of things, I'll admit.  But the one thing we absolutely cannot positively disagree on?

09:42 <ConfusionRift> Otherwise, elsewhere.

09:43 <Alice> That my parents know how to buy decent quality stuff.  We both agree that my parents have problems with buying from dollar stores and similar-quality places all the time.

09:44 <Alice> Drives me and my sister up a wall.  Our parents just...

09:44 <Alice> They go for the cheapest solutions.  Which, I can understand the why.

09:44 <Alice> But the problem is, cheapest doesn't mean best.  And in fact, cheapest is, well, cheapest, because it's made cheap.

09:44 <Alice> I once saw a post about the concept a while back.

09:45 <Alice> A man made $36 a month, but a good pair of boots cost $50.  However, an average pair of boots costed $10-$15.

09:45 <Alice> Thing is, the average pair would wear out after six or so months.

09:45 <Alice> While the good pair would last upwards of 5-10 years.

09:46 <Alice> So, every six months, the man would buy the average pair of boots, for $10-$15 dollars.  So, about $20-$30 a year.  Or $100-$150 over five years.

09:47 <Alice> Had the man bought the good pair of boots by simply taking a few months to put aside money for them?

09:47 <Alice> He'd save himself nearly $100 over the next five years.

09:47 <Alice> Yes, going higher quality costs more, but if you go with a reputable brand, the product will last longer.  Much longer.

09:48 <Alice> If you choose to go with cheap, you may very well find yourself paying out more to stick with cheap in the same time that the more expensive product lasts.

09:49 <Alice> That's not counting in other issues that could arise with using cheap.

09:49 <Alice> In the above example, the man's cheaper pair of shoes would inevitably develop a leak somewhere, becoming soggy during his work, getting his feet wet.  What the story doesn't recount, is what might happen over time of dealing with that.

09:50 <Alice> The feet are very susceptible to illness from being in cold, soggy conditions.

09:50 <Alice> Which can translate to needing doctors visits.  Which translates to bills, depending on where you are.  Which translates to even *MORE* money.

09:57 <Alice> That all said, when it comes to cookware, I prefer stainless steel.  Only problem with it, is that it scratches up the non-stick pans, removing their non-stick properties.

10:11 * Alice brings keyboard tray, with mouse, downstairs. Will play Factorio in the living room today.

10:14 <Alice> That said, first I want to check something.

10:14 <Alice> Apparently, I can charge my laptop from any USB-C port on it.  There's one port explicitly dedicated to it though, so I assume all the ports charge at varying rates.

10:16 * ConfusionRift returns with a bowl of... something. "It's called food." I suppose we can call it that.

10:18 <Alice> Unfortunately, I see no way to check the charging rate..

10:20 <Alice> I could regularly ping charge_now over N seconds, and determine charge rate by checking that value, but it's only accurate to 1000 units.

10:21 <ConfusionRift> A pair of screwdrivers at the dollar store is $1. A cheap bit screwdriver kit from the other store is about $18. The $1 screwdrivers WILL bend and lose their shape as soon as one starts using them. They'll probably last a few days. The $18 kit still holds up after several years. Rust has already set in, but they're still usable. The bit driver can be used without the other bits, and those can be purchased separately. (shrugs)

10:21 <Alice> Mmhmm.

10:22 <Alice> I have had some good screwdrivers.  I prefer the ones with the magnetic tips.  Yes, risky with some devices(Magnetic media, mostly, but nowadays we're moving away from that enmasse, so...), but good gods they're nice.

10:24 <Alice> Oh, that's why this command isn't updating info for me.  It only updates every N seconds, and the timer seems to be quite lengthy about it.

10:32 <Alice> All upower tells me is whether there's power connected or not, and what the total battery draw is when using the system.  Blah.

10:33 <Alice> The best way to determine the charge rate of each port then, thus, would be to discharge the battery completely, and then charge it, while measuring the time to charging.

10:35 <Alice> Or, as I said, write a tool to monitor it.

10:35 * Alice does so. It'd take like, 15 minutes.

10:49 <Alice> ... Maybe a bit longer, as I refresh my memory a bit.

11:02 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-su3f2a.tpgi.com.au)

11:03 <Alice> current tool is... a little to be desired, but it'll give me a rough comparison.

11:04 <Alice> Main port averages a change of 600 units/sec.

11:04 <Alice> Meanwhile..

11:04 <Alice> DP/USB-C port averages... 600/sec.

11:04 * Lumindia_ peeeeers in, lurks

11:04 <Alice> Well, closer to 500.

11:05 <Alice> Remaining USB-C port averages...

11:05 <Alice> 500.

11:05 <Alice> So, the difference overall is minimal in terms of power supply from all 3 ports.

11:05 <Alice> For fastest charging though, use the dedicated port.

11:06 <Alice> Good to know, though.  Sometimes it's better to have charging on the right-hand side instead of the left-hand side.

11:06 <Alice> Anyhoo, Factorio time.

11:07 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)

11:08 <Alice> Rifty, next time yer on, hit F4, and enable multiplayer statistics.  I want to know what your latency is.

11:12 <ConfusionRift> Will dooo. It might be the VPN or the browser being up.

11:13 <Alice> Wait, you're using a VPN?

11:13 <ConfusionRift> Yep. As I said, might have been the issue. Didn't think about that.

11:14 * PrincessRainbows looks up at ConfusionRift with teary eyes and sighs

11:14 * Lumindia_ is currently sprawled out on the gorund

11:15 <Alice> Yeah, because when you use a VPN, your connection is basically going from your PC, to whatever system is hosting the VPN, then from there out to the Internet.

11:15 <Alice> And VPNs in general add a lot of overhead.

11:15 * ConfusionRift nods.

11:16 <ConfusionRift> I completely forgot I had it on.

11:16 <Alice> That said, i'd still like the info, either way. :P

11:16 <ConfusionRift> Sure thing.

11:16 * ConfusionRift pets PrincessRainbows.

11:17 <PrincessRainbows> As usual, when I try to sleep it always comes back to my problem du jour

11:17 <Alice> PrincessRainbows, out of curiousity, what is it that makes it hard for you to sleep?  Active mind?  General insomnia?  Discomfort?

11:17 <PrincessRainbows> Lately, the futility of life too

11:18 <Alice> That doesn't quite answer my question.  Unless you meant for an "all of the above" case.

11:20 <ConfusionRift> I'm sure that's a definite "all of the above +".

11:21 <Alice> I was more asking for clarification on the grounds of "never assume"

11:24 <Alice> With regards to the active mind and depression, there isn't much I can suggest that probably has already been suggested to you multiple times.  The insomnia can be resolved through medication like a sedative, such as seroquel.  Discomfort's a bit trickier, and usually involves a new bed altogether.

11:49 <Alice> Sometimes, I wonder if my mother monitors my Twitter feed or something.  Her tablet keeps making "ping" noises on a regular basis, and sometimes a lot around when I'm tweeting.

11:49 <Alice> She doesn't strike mas the type to use Twitter, though.

11:51 * Alice walls off the base.

11:51 <ConfusionRift> Will jump in a sec.

11:52 <Alice> Take yer time.  No rush.

12:02 <RazorSharpFang> Alice, what's the factorio credentials and address?

17:08 <Alice> Apparently the unusual Melbourne Spire of the latest Flight Simulator is the result of a typo.

17:08 <Alice> They used map data compiled from various sources.  One of which is a publically accessible and modifiable maps database.

17:09 <Alice> A user accidently put in 212 floors for one building in Melbourne, Australia.

17:09 <Alice> It was fixed, but not before the data was used to generate the map.

18:43 * Ali is glad she is already expempt now from jury duty

18:44 <Alice> What do The Titanic and The Sixth Sense movies have in common?

18:44 <Alice> Icy Dead People.

18:48 * Ali facehooves

18:54 * PrincessRainbows makes horse noises and grabby hooves at Ali

18:55 * Ali brushies the PrincessRainbows and holds her close.

18:55 <Alice> My brain has inexplicably associated the name "Satan" with Trump.  I feel like that's disparaging Satan's name.

18:56 <PrincessRainbows> I somehow completely missed my alarm for my immunosuppressants

19:01 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali and makes excited filly noises

19:19 <Schism> Alice: Certainly is, at least the modern versions offered by Satanism.

19:20 <Schism> While not a church to which I subscribe, I will note that the Satanic church of modern days emphasizes freedom, kindness and understanding.

19:21 <Schism> Mind, even in Paradise Lost Satan was at least an understandable figure.

19:24 <Alice> Mmhmm.

19:24 <Alice> Holy holy hell ow.

19:25 <Alice> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1296889575848189955 I kinda went overboard with the vacuuming juuuust a tad.  Got all the spots my family usually misses, and/or doesn't know how to vacuum.  Also, they're pretty ineffectual because they usually vacuum the house when the cannister is LIKE THIS.

19:25 <Alice> Or worse.

19:27 <Alice> Three sets of 20 push-ups, 20 crunches, and I vacuumed the house.  I... think I've done enough.

19:27 <Alice> Especially as I'm finding it increasingly difficult to breathe right now.

19:30 <Alice> Oh look, mold on the kitchen window sills.

19:30 * Alice gets soap, water and a cloth.

20:09 * Alice returns from a long, much-needed shower.

20:35 <Schism> https://twitter.com/kogotsuchidark/status/1291758099779420161

20:36 <Alice> I like these kinds of trope inversions.

20:41 * Schism sips a mango Caesar.

20:42 <Schism> This is a surprisingly good mix.

20:43 * Alice noms on green grapes, meanwhile.

20:52 * Lumindia_ boops a Schism snootle

20:59 * Schism boops the Lumindia with a Caesar as well!

21:04 * Alice wonders what kinds of drinks can be made with pineapple juice.

21:04 <Schism> Well, the classic would be a pineapple, lime and rum mixture, with a bit of coconut.

21:05 <Schism> https://www.thespruceeats.com/pineapple-cocktail-recipes-4145027

21:05 <Alice> Do you put it all in the coconut and drink it all up?

21:05 <Schism> Mayhaps.  o3o;

21:07 <Schism> Pff.  "VISA/Mastercard account services."  Yea, no.

21:10 <Lumindia_> So Schism, I have a meme from my FC's map night

21:10 <Lumindia_> we're doing maps, and the new sea cloth material drops... as well as triggering the gambler's lure

21:10 <Schism> Oh no.

21:10 <Lumindia_> the card revealed is an eight

21:10 <Schism> Oh no!

21:10 <Lumindia_> some chucklehead jokingly suggests "Go high"

21:10 <Schism> *-pat-*

21:11 <Lumindia_> The madlad actually listened to them

21:11 <Lumindia_> and lost it as a result

21:11 <Lumindia_> That physically hurt us

21:11 <Schism> I can imagine... ._.

21:11 <Lumindia_> I actually had to take a couple of minutes to compose myself

21:11 <Lumindia_> I just couldn't...

21:11 <Lumindia_> our luck was INSANE, though.

21:12 <Lumindia_> 13 portals in 16 maps, 8 Keeper of the Keys, 4 Dungeon Crew, 2 Final Rooms, and a Fuath Trickster in the final room

21:12 <Lumindia_> made 700k before selling mats

21:12 <Lumindia_> as well as getting the best song in shadowbringers

21:12 <Lumindia_> "On Our Fates Alight"

21:13 <Schism> Lumindia: https://twitter.com/StormXF3/status/1296829453318918145

21:13 <Lumindia_> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuMg1QCVEMQ

21:13 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about FFXIV OST - Amaro Mount Theme

21:13 <Schism> Well, wait, that's a general everybody image.  Also, hee.

21:13 <Schism> That was very much a Chrono Cross theme.

21:13 <Lumindia_> wasn't from my map, but I gave the person 100k on the spot to secure it for myself

21:14 <Lumindia_> (it goes for 65k on my server)

21:14 <Lumindia_> yeah, that theme is such a chill vibe, isn't it?

21:14 <Alice> My mother's right shoulder is all sorts of busted up in some manner, probably shredded tendons like my dad.  She went to the doctor to get it checked out.  Said doctor sent her off to get an ultrasound done.  On the left shoulder.

21:14 * Schism ...

21:14 <Lumindia_> '-'

21:14 <Lumindia_> well what the frick, then?

21:14 <Alice> I have no idea.

21:14 <Alice> But the ultrasound was done on the right shoulder.

21:15 <Alice> She corrected them.

21:15 <Lumindia_> well that's good, at least

21:16 <Lumindia_> map night is a fun time

21:18 <Alice> Mmm, parents are home with my meds for sleeping, breathing, etc.  Huzzah.

21:18 <Schism> Alice: https://twitter.com/echo262/status/1296751531438604294

21:19 * Ali flops over Schism and Lumindia_

21:19 <Schism> Also, Alice... does pineapple juice not futz with your meds?

21:19 <Alice> Why would it?

21:20 <Schism> Some meds have a negative reaction to grapefruit and pineapple juices.  Something about enyzmes.

21:20 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3438 [ http://tinyurl.com/y4o5lhmj ]

21:20 <Schism> Admittedly, most varieties are pasteurized.

21:21 <Alice> Hum, never really noticed any side effects from it.  Granted, I don't buy pineapple juice and drink it.  The juice I've gotten has mostly been from the fruit itself.

21:21 * Lumindia_ snugs on the Ali Pone

21:21 <Schism> Fresh juices are what really contain that enzyme.  >.>;

21:22 <Alice> Yes, I know.

21:22 <Alice> But it's not like, an excessive amount of it.

21:23 <Schism> Interesting... "Fresh pineapple should not be combined with Amoxicillin or tetracycline antibiotics — it can increase the side effects of these medications."

21:23 <Alice> Huh.

21:23 <Alice> Well, I haven't actually had any pineapple in over a month now.

21:23 <Alice> So I don't think that's an issue.

21:23 <Schism> True.

21:23 <Schism> Again, that's mostly the fresh kind.

21:24 <Schism> Hungry voids.  https://twitter.com/estephan/status/1296916060763897857/photo/1

21:25 * Filly_Nightmares gnaws on Schism as her tummy rumbles

21:26 * Schism provides Filly_Nightmares wif choices of pizza! There's chicken and pepper, there's pineapple and ham, and there's steak and mushroom.

21:26 * Filly_Nightmares purrs and nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom all da pizza but leaves da pineapple parts out! _

21:27 * Filly_Nightmares berp happily

21:40 * Alice sets pineapple pizza on fire.

21:40 <Alice> https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/ie2xzt/someone_guessed_what_theyre_getting_for_christmas/

21:42 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

21:42 <Schism> Alice: But... but it's delicious...

21:43 <Alice> Schism, I expect certain flavours from a pizza.  Adding tartness or sweetness to it would...  I don't know how to express it, but it wouldn't be right to me.

21:44 <Schism> That's reasonable, really.

21:56 <Alice> https://i.imgur.com/sdvX6JZ.jpg I wonder if this is accurate.

22:15 * Schism selects Dance-Off. She was hoping it would work at least *once*.

22:20 <Lumindia_> Cease.

22:20 <Lumindia_> No.

22:20 <Lumindia_> Stop it!

22:20 <Lumindia_> I love the Cease. one

22:21 * Alice uses the teleporter.

22:21 * Alice ends up embedded inside of Lumindia_'s left thumb.

22:21 <Schism> "Alright, I'm going to teleport that platform over to you..."

22:22 * Schism winds up with a platform embedded within her chest. Darnit, Charles.

22:22 <Schism> Interesting colour schema on that jewelry, angel.  https://www.goblinscomic.org/

22:24 <Alice> Heh.

22:29 * Alice puts on some music. Blares Megalovania over the channel speakers.

22:30 <Lumindia_> Megan!

22:30 <Lumindia_> D:

22:30 <Alice> Hmm?

22:30 <Lumindia_> So how many of y'all have heard "Follow(1st Movement of the Odyssey) - Incubus"?

22:31 <Lumindia_> the time signature of that song is all over the place

22:31 <Schism> Which remix of Megalovania?  Or the original, I wonder?

22:31 <Lumindia_> The8BitDrummer calls Megalovania "Megan"

22:31 <Lumindia_> as does his entire chat

22:31 <Alice> Schism:  Smash remix, but the original version is good too.

22:31 <Lumindia_> Megalovania is its own genre at this point

22:31 * Alice actually started Undertale the other day.

22:32 <Alice> Toriel...  Unnerves me.

22:32 <Alice> I can't say why.

22:32 <Schism> I suspect I know why.

22:33 <Lumindia_> '-'

22:33 <Alice> The overprotectiveness and constant need to keep tabs on the player is... unsettling, yes, but that's not why.

22:34 <Lumindia_> I mean... well I can't give my reasoning for that overprotectiveness because spoilers

22:34 <Alice> I think it's more along the line that her behaviour reminds me of some negative aspects of myself that I'd prefer to leave in the past.

22:34 * Schism hmms. "I can see that."

22:34 <Lumindia_> fair enough

22:34 * Lumindia_ patpats Alice

22:35 <Alice> Let's just say those aspects almost ruined some good friendships, heh.

22:36 <Schism> Since you've just *started* Undertale, I won't be going about spoiling things, but Toby Fox is actually pretty good about providing reasons for each of his characters to act the way they do.

22:37 <Alice> Mmhmm, so I am aware.

22:37 <PinkieShy> Neat..

22:37 <Alice> From what I understand, he chooses to spend a lot of time on his games, not just because solo dev, but because careful design.

22:37 <PinkieShy> Just turned my phone back on after rebooting and had just saw full bars of '4G' before it jumped to saying "LTE"

22:39 <Alice> But yeah, I would argue that Undertale's music style is a genre unto it's own.  Especially the "boss" tracks.  All of them seem to involve a bit of 8-bit, then switch to a full set of instruments.

22:40 * Schism frowns at fanfic she's reading. "Sigh. Pettigrew would not feed a piece of cheese to a loyal rat. He'd know better than that. He'd feed her a peanut butter cracker."

22:41 * Schism has tiny little nitpicks when reading fiction. <.<;

22:41 <Schism> Also, yeah, that's baout right... also, that's weird, PinkieShy.

22:42 * Alice may or may not fall asleep in the next little bit. Meds are really kicking like a horse now.

22:42 <PinkieShy> Schism honestly its not the weirdest I've seen.

22:43 <PinkieShy> I had to reboot my phone in the city near the waffle house once and I could have sworn I saw "4G+" appear.

22:43 <PinkieShy> Probably the phone software figuring what signal is the correct one.

22:54 * Schism smiles at Kill Six Billion Demons. "There was a lot of blood and gore there (and a fair amount of nudity, so beware), but seeing White Chain become herself makes me happy."

22:55 <Lumindia_> rip and tear?

22:59 <Schism> Well, they're not gods, but we're talking DBZ levels of power.

23:01 <PinkieShy> I could have sworn that said screen tearing..

23:01 * PinkieShy gives DerpyBot back the derpy eye glasses.
