06:25 <Cepheid> Nowadays, that's actually the norm for Intel laptops, ADragonDreaming
06:27 <ADragonDreaming> Aye. I don't know what the baseline is. Kind of wished I was monitoring temps before-hand.
06:28 <Cepheid> Probably around 95. The problem is that Intel, in it's infinite wisdom, recommends that, rather than cooling the CPU to keep it's performance up, that the OEMs use a minimal amount of cooling, and let their CPUs handle the temperature problem.
06:29 <Cepheid> The problem there, is that Intel's solution is to throttle down the CPU.
06:29 <Cepheid> My laptop for example, will run at ~3GHz, then slowly throttle down to ~2GHz or slower, then spontaneously go back up to 3GHz, etc.
06:29 <Cepheid> Repeats ad-infinitum under load.
06:31 <ADragonDreaming> aye
06:31 <Cepheid> For such laptops, usually the only viable solutions are to apply a better thermal paste, which can be a messy job, especially with laptops, or to get one of those cooling pads for laptops.
06:34 <ADragonDreaming> If you're game, I can do one, maybe two hunts, then should sleep.
06:34 <Cepheid> Sure, lemme hop upstairs.

07:10 <ConfusionRift> "Meowster, it is time." | Time for what? ...ooooh oh oh. Time already? But there's so much to do, weapons to upgrade, just 6 days of Zorah, not to mention the fest and new foods, and- | "Stop being such a wuss!" | ...oh. OH. So that's how it is, huh?

07:47 <ConfusionRift> Ali: Monster Hunter. Been holding off killing this monster for some time now. I suppose it was about time to deal with it. Besides, can't progress till I do.
07:48 <ConfusionRift> Speaking of... (stares at Cepheid) How?! How did I beat it that much quicker than Kushala?! This makes no sense!
07:48 <ConfusionRift> Even without any wind protection.
07:49 <Schism> Nyabe you got better, meowster!
07:50 * Ali ohs and goes back to the not monster hunter players corner.
07:50 <ADragonDreaming> Which monster?
07:50 <ADragonDreaming> Teostra?
07:50 * ConfusionRift stares at his Palico, with burned fur and basically bold. "And that's why I held it off for so long."
07:50 <ConfusionRift> yep.
07:50 <ADragonDreaming> Teostra is easier than Kushala.
07:51 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Teostra isn't that bad. The wind barrier is what makes Kushala a problem, primarily.
07:51 <ADragonDreaming> Kushala's wind barrier means lowered DPS, just because you can't hit him.
07:51 <Cepheid> Because NOTHING can get through it.
07:51 <ConfusionRift> I suppose in this version. Previously, I had no issues with Kushala, but was almost impossible for em to deal with Teostra.
07:51 <ADragonDreaming> World's Kushala is much more of a problem than Generations' Kushala, yeah.
07:52 <Cepheid> In the past, Kushala's barrier could be defeated via poison and other effects.
07:52 <ConfusionRift> Generations? o_0
07:52 <Cepheid> Here, it's a lot more troublesome.
07:52 <Cepheid> Monster Hunter Generations. 3DS/Switch game.
07:52 <ADragonDreaming> Here, you can only dissipate it with Elderseal.
07:52 <ConfusionRift> Well, now I know it's there.
07:52 <ConfusionRift> I think you still can with poison, or at least continue some damage as it happens.
07:53 <Cepheid> Yeah, but good luck with dissipating it against Archtempered Kushala.
07:53 <Cepheid> Doesn't last more than a couple of seconds.
07:53 <ADragonDreaming> BTW, Cepheid, I've found that there is, in fact, a difference between "Wind pressure negated" and "ALL Wind pressure negated" in terms of hunting horns.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Well... yeah.
07:53 <ADragonDreaming> The vespoid hunting horn line has "All Wind Pressure"
07:53 <Cepheid> Ah.
07:55 <ConfusionRift> "Wind pressure negated" is mostly minor. Like wing flaps and some takeoffs. "All wind pressure negated" includes major ones, like Kushala's barrier and some of the large monster dives.
07:55 <Cepheid> I was not aware.
07:55 <ADragonDreaming> Rathian line also has it...
07:57 <Cepheid> Well, next time we want to get thrown around by Colonel Klink-Klank, I'll bring it along.
07:57 <ADragonDreaming> Aaaand Xeno hunting horn has it it looks like
07:58 <ADragonDreaming> Also one of the Lunastra horns
07:59 <ADragonDreaming> A few others. Either Purple + Blue + Yellow notes, or Blue + Orange notes.
08:01 <ADragonDreaming> anywho, goodnight
08:03 <Cepheid> G'night.
08:03 <Cepheid> I'm gonna get me some food.
08:03 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one!
08:08 <Cepheid> That all said, regarding Teostra...
08:08 <Cepheid> Go visit it's wife.
08:08 <ConfusionRift> Now, for the third... by the mess of effluvium.
08:09 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I'm aware that Ms. Luna is much more moody and... aggressive.
08:09 <ConfusionRift> Not to mention explosive.
08:10 <Cepheid> Heh.
08:11 * Cepheid looks at pill case, and then bin. "... Guess I'm not getting anything done today."
08:11 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/HGqJmz5.jpeg
08:11 <ConfusionRift> No idea how to deal with the effluvium, so... caliente pockeeets.
08:12 <ConfusionRift> If cat want to be there, they will be there, especially when you don't want them to.
08:13 <Cepheid> I suspect they do it because of a mixture of "New texture" "New soft" and "What are you doing?"
08:14 <Cepheid> I've noticed cats seem to like variety in things.
08:15 <Cepheid> Plus, it may be that whole "I have to get my scent on this."
08:15 <Cepheid> Removing the sheets, the surface underneath may smell like a clean surface, thus, they have to mark it.
08:19 <Cepheid> So, for the last week, I've been sitting on a prescription for medication I was due to run out of yesterday. Guess what hasn't been picked up yet. I can't get it myself 'cause I'm not allowed out of the house. :D

08:47 <Ali> Yeah, now its just used to beat around senseless bots, what fun is that.

13:08 * ConfusionRift sighs.
13:11 <ConfusionRift> Okay, so here's the situation. Have been keeping quiet, since I didn't think too much of it, till now. One of the folks here tested positive recently. This prompted the work couch to let me go for that day, and have had to call in while trying to make the proper claims for this mess. Now I'm anxious because all the people who are supposed to help me with this mess are unreachable, and the few who vouched to help me at this time
13:11 <ConfusionRift> have left me just as clueless.
13:12 <Cepheid> Guh.

13:14 <ConfusionRift> I spent the morning yesterday and the day before trying to set an appointment for a test. The earliest I have found is on the 9th... as in next month.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> So I got one prodding me to try to get this paperwork mess done correctly and proper, and the other is pushing me to get back to work as soon as possible, despite BY STATE MANDATE I can't.
13:17 <RazorSharpFang> It's the eternal struggle, being pulled in multiple directions at once. Somehow, there is to be harmony, but how?
13:21 <ConfusionRift> Wish I knew. What I hate the most is that the people who are supposed to know how to guide someone through this process are useless. Basically the same as those techs who are answering questions from a book. And the few who have already gone through this process SOMEHOW don't know how to do it.
13:22 <ConfusionRift> It's this really unfunny and irritating routine of Who's On First.

13:36 <Cyan_Spark> Are airline stocks a good option
13:37 <RazorSharpFang> Eh you'll have to be prepared to hold it long-term. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose and don't invest that which you will need in the immediate future.
13:37 <Cyan_Spark> I have liquid money I don't mind turning into solid money
13:37 <RazorSharpFang> It's when you're forced to exit a position prematurely that you realise huge losses.
13:39 <Cyan_Spark> I reckon I can keep frozen money chilly for a few years
13:41 <Lumindia> My stimulus check I got months ago is going towards a new computer
13:41 <RazorSharpFang> That's the market pump
13:42 <Cyan_Spark> How strong will the effects of the money printer be on inflationary pressure?
13:44 <RazorSharpFang> It definitely had an effect in the months proceeding from March; you can see its effect immediately. Long-term, who knows.
13:44 <Cyan_Spark> I like this https://youtu.be/jg85H26wyLk (Possible language warning)
13:45 <Cyan_Spark> (Video "The Absolute Chaos of r/Wallstreetbets")
13:45 <RazorSharpFang> I've watched this video several dozen times now.
13:45 <Cyan_Spark> lolol
13:45 <Cyan_Spark> It was very entertaining
13:45 <Cyan_Spark> but also very sobering
13:45 <Cyan_Spark> RazorSharpFang: so the prices of stuff went up in your area?
13:46 <RazorSharpFang> The price of securities was completely detached from the material conditions for a while there.
13:46 <Cyan_Spark> I know stocks inflated like crazy
13:46 <Cyan_Spark> but now what happens when money starts leaking out from the stock market into the consumer market
13:47 <RazorSharpFang> Not sure. It's different for me because I'm down under in Australia.
13:47 <Cyan_Spark> Oh
13:47 <Cyan_Spark> I'm not from the US either
13:47 <RazorSharpFang> But I trade options almost exclusively in America anyway
13:47 * Cyan_Spark nods
13:48 <Cyan_Spark> Pay IRS fees with W8BEN?
13:48 <RazorSharpFang> Not sure actually. My broker handles all of that.
13:49 <Cyan_Spark> Hm. Same.
13:49 <RazorSharpFang> My eyes still glaze over partially trying to read the legal documents.

13:53 <Cepheid> <Mother> "You should take a nap." *Mother proceeds to make tons of noise, talk to her, and ask questions on a regular basis.*
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, that's unfortunate.
14:08 <RazorSharpFang> Looks like I'm going to get assigned at close today
14:19 *** Quits: libre_hackerman (libre_hacke@Pony-bq9bqt.30kq.ur8g.c50f.2a01.IP) (Quit: segmentation fault (core dumped))
14:22 <Cyan_Spark> Assigned?
14:23 <RazorSharpFang> So, I sell options. When I sell an option, I take on an obligation and get paid for it.
14:23 <RazorSharpFang> Assignment is when the option gets exercised and I get called upon to fulfil the obligation I agreed to when selling that option.
14:27 <RazorSharpFang> In my case I sold puts, so I was obliged to buy stock at a previously agreed upon price. I'm expecting to be called upon to buy the stock as required.
14:32 <Cyan_Spark> Oh
14:32 <RazorSharpFang> Of course, the only reason they're exercising these contracts is because they want to buy the shares on the open market and sell them to me because the market price is lower than my agreed upon price.
14:42 <Cyan_Spark> Ah so you lose money
14:43 <RazorSharpFang> I mean, I would if I immediately sold the securities I bought. But I'm not going to do that.
14:52 <RazorSharpFang> They paid dividends after all.
14:53 <Cepheid> Yay, I have to yell at my school again.
14:54 <RazorSharpFang> Make sure to yell with style, form and poise.
14:58 <Cepheid> I opted in for the health insurance through the CUSA, but the school appears to have instead taken the money, and canceled my coverage.
15:01 <RazorSharpFang> That's not good
15:04 <ADragonDreaming> That sounds highly illegal.
15:08 <Cepheid> I'm fucking tired of this university and want to see it burn to the ground.
15:08 <Cepheid> Preferably with no one in it.
15:08 <RazorSharpFang> I always wondered what would it take to make someone desire the destruction of the world. Betrayal might do it.
15:09 <Cepheid> You know how they handled COVID?
15:09 <RazorSharpFang> They didn't?
15:09 <Cepheid> They let students move into the residence. Within one week, one case of COVID. Two weeks, that sprung to 6. In the meantime, they opened up the gym!
15:09 <Cepheid> Then a month later, they had to close it down due to provincial regulations.
15:09 <Cepheid> The gym is paid for as a mandatory fee of ~200 CAD.
15:10 <Cepheid> Every student pays for it.
15:10 <Cepheid> This is on top of the fee required to get into the gym in the first place.
15:10 <Cepheid> Their idea of resolving the problem? They gave us ~$30 CAD credit. Not money back, but credit, on our student account. That can be put towards our next semester.
15:11 <Cepheid> This university is garbage and everyone in administration needs a good bitchslap upside the face, plus probably numerous lawsuits against them.
15:11 * Cepheid twitches.
15:11 <RazorSharpFang> Might be a last-ditch attempt to remain solvent and keep trading... I know first-hand that cash-flow if gone wrong can END a business.
15:13 <Cepheid> This university has approximately 3 million in reserves.
15:13 <Cepheid> When you get on the good side of some professors, you can learn a few things.
15:14 <RazorSharpFang> Well, the significance of 3 million depends on the operating expenses.
15:15 <Cepheid> According to what I heard, it's enough to keep the university afloat for a few years without issue.
15:16 <Cepheid> That is, assuming various departments don't do anything illegal, like the student's association getting a credit card under the University's name, and spending student money on frivilous stuff and lap dances.
15:16 <Cepheid> Actually a thing that happened by the way.
15:16 <Cepheid> The same student's association which had decided to scrap student health coverage for a few semesters to save money, before re-instating it.
15:17 <Cepheid> This university is run by a conglomerate of greeding, soulless assholes and morons.
15:19 <RazorSharpFang> Well, that does explain some of the events in world war 2 perhaps
15:20 <Cepheid> Man, the difference between me on my meds and me off my meds is pretty distinct.
15:22 <RazorSharpFang> Anyhow, I'm off to sleep. Good night.

15:28 <Cepheid> Also, you're up earlier than I expected, ADragonDreaming.
15:28 <ADragonDreaming> 4:30 am to 11:00 am is ... 6.5 hours.
15:29 <ADragonDreaming> Which is about what I usually get.
15:52 <Cepheid> Ah. I usually get a minimum of about 8 hours, in fact, 8 hours seems to be what I need to feel rested. Any less or any more, and it's trouble.
15:53 <ADragonDreaming> I should probably be getting 7 to 8, but my rhythm doesn't seem to let that happen regularly.
15:53 <Cepheid> Also, awesome...
15:54 <Cepheid> So, the payment for my insurance did, indeed go out of the credit card. This was confirmed.
15:54 <Cepheid> The insurance company, however, has not received the payment.
15:54 <Cepheid> Meaning some intermediary, likely the school, has it.
16:00 <ADragonDreaming> wunderbar.
16:06 <Cepheid> Time to murder the hell out a Tzitzi. I'm moody now, and I need to murder things.

16:10 <Cepheid> One Tzitzi, dead in 2 minutes, 33 seconds.
16:10 <Cepheid> Oh. Adra
16:10 <Cepheid> If you want some weak jewels..
16:10 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/PcKjehn.png I highly advise this quest.
16:13 <Cepheid> Basically, let the Great Jagras eat a monster, and it'll regularly vomit red chunks. Said chunks leave behind shinies. The shinies are various jewel stones.
16:15 <ADragonDreaming> Greatest Jagras?
16:15 <Cepheid> Yeah.
16:16 <Cepheid> Only catch?
16:16 <Cepheid> The Great Jagras in question is approximately Master Rank 4* powerful in terms of damage output.
16:16 <ADragonDreaming> makes sense.

22:17 <ADragonDreaming> the pharmacy was out of Flu shot.
22:20 * Ali tapes her mouth shut.
22:24 <Cepheid> Ali, the flu shot is either free or cheap, depending on where you are. The benefits outweigh the cons.
22:25 <Cepheid> I'd rather have a day or two of feeling blah from a needle, and take the chance they got the wrong variant, than go without any sort of protection at all, and risk the flu. I've gotten the flu a couple of times, and given my chronic health problems, it's not a fun scenario.
22:25 <Ali> I get its helpful to some
22:25 <Ali> I'm not prone to the flu
22:25 <Ali> And I have a chronic fear of needles
22:25 <Cepheid> Still better to get the shot anyways.
22:26 <ADragonDreaming> I haven't in the past but this year, well.
22:26 <ADragonDreaming> Not taking chancecs.
22:27 <Cepheid> The few times I didn't get it, I ended up catching the flu, or something akin to it.
22:27 <Cepheid> I already have enough problems with the chronic pneumonia and such, which as of late has been non-existent, but... meh.
22:27 <Cepheid> In fact, as of late my breathing's been better than usual.
22:28 <Cepheid> Starting to make me wonder if we've been treating the wrong problem all this time, 'cause since I started using the salbutamol daily, my breathing's been doing much better- Aaaand my cat just vomited somewhere in my room.
22:29 <Ali> HORK HORK HORK HORK
22:30 <Cepheid> Freaking hells Tizzy what's wrong with you?
22:30 <Cepheid> She went up to it and tried to eat it.
