06:31 <ADragonDreaming> What is OSM?
06:33 <Jackie> OpenStreetMap
06:33 <ADragonDreaming> Is that like an open-source version of Google maps or Google Earth?

07:51 <Schism> As it should be. It's important to count all the votes, and while some decisions can be made now, it's vital for everyone to be able to make such a choice.
07:52 <Schism> You can make a choice for counties where there are only X number of people and Y number have voted, but for many remaining, there's no question that they voted via mail, or the election is held up by ... okay, I'm going to put it forth now. Republican FUCKERY.

15:34 <Cepheid> Around the tailbone, specifically.
15:34 <ADragonDreaming> That would be a problem and a half, to be sure.
15:35 <Cepheid> Had surgery back when I was 18 years old, resulted in a small bit of the tailbone being removed, and a considerable amount of damage to the tissue around it.

15:55 <Schism> Been tired... and how've you been?
15:55 <Heartbreak> ... And Food!
15:55 <Heartbreak> Tired. Jet is still writing. But Jet is also tired. *noms* But slowly ever so slowly is progressing with the story and art.
15:56 * Lumindia snugs Schism muchly
15:56 * Schism nods, and bleps. She hasn't gotten enough sleep. "Only four hours..."

15:56 <ADragonDreaming> It's not working very well.

16:09 <ADragonDreaming> Rooibos?
16:09 <ADragonDreaming> ah, a tea.
16:10 <Schism> Sure, what's vulgarly referred to as 'red tea', and more properly referred to as "African bush tea", though it's not a case of camellia sinensis.

16:18 * Schism hugs the Alice.
16:18 <ADragonDreaming> why for you do this?
16:18 <Schism> Because self esteem is a fickle and obnoxious creature which likes to hide at the worst times.
16:19 <Schism> Er, sorry. That's why I do that, not why Alice does that.
16:19 <Cepheid> Just, I can't call up words when I need them, among other things.
16:20 <ADragonDreaming> This is entirely par for the course when language-learning.
16:20 <Schism> That's hardly unique to you, yeah.
16:24 <Schism> Of those elections in the States, I _do_ hope that Aria DiMezzo got elected to office. While I disagree with her on a policy level for larger government (she's a strident libertarian anarchist), an anti-carceral woman as county sheriff would only be awesome there.
16:26 <Cepheid> Oh my gods, the stress from that course when I'm called oooouuuttt. x.x;

16:29 <ADragonDreaming> proposal to require search warrants for electronic data in MI has likely passed. 88% favorable votes.
16:29 <Cepheid> Well, to be honest, I also stress when speaking because when I do, two things tend to happen.
16:29 <Cepheid> One, I often start speaking too quickly for people to understand. Two, I start stuttering and tripping over even simple words.
16:30 <Cepheid> This applies to English, not just Japanese.
16:31 <Schism> Sounds pretty common to me, honestly.

16:34 <Schism> Oh, very well. o3o
16:35 <Schism> Cepheid, a stutter isn't that uncommon at all. People pretend that it is, because we live in a society which is stridently normative.

16:39 <Schism> Which means that those with a stutter tend to be the _quietest_ sorts, so that other people won't notice it. You've probably met tons of folks who have a tough time speaking.

16:54 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
16:54 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Epic Rage Time: The Incredible Derp (Feat. Grey DeLisle) - Reupload - YouTube
16:55 <Finwe> !s8
16:55 <DerpyBot> I need 1.21 gigamuffins to find that out for you.
16:59 <Cepheid> Today's work.. At this point, just transcribe my assignment to the genkouyoushi. I'm allowed to type it up though, so...
17:00 <Cepheid> It'll be quick, and my hands won't be a wreck as a result.
17:00 <Cepheid> Biggest issue was finding a genkouyoushi template that worked with LibreOffice or Office 365.
17:00 <Cepheid> Prof provided one, but it doesn't work with current tools. Only the stuff available on the school computers.
17:05 <Schism> "What do Russian pirates say? Apppppppp."
17:08 <Finwe> Schism: I'd rather say "Яррррррр!"

18:49 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
18:49 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Cats vs Invisible Wall Compilation - YouTube
18:52 <Cepheid> I like how the one cat gets through, but the others are still confused.
18:58 <Cepheid> As for the "why are they so stupid?" it's likely the combination of being nearsighted, relying on whiskers to help find an opening, and the fact that it's clear, making it tricky to find an actual opening when the eyes aren't designed for looking at clear surfaces all the time.
18:59 <Ali> Thus why birds slam into clean windows
19:01 <Starlight_Glimmer> So I learned on monday that my city has police horses. I've not seen them in all of the 4 years I've been living here. 6_9

19:11 <ADragonDreaming> there is a full flock of sparrows outside the house.

19:14 <ADragonDreaming> I like how the one cat that gets through comes back and starts messing with the other cats
19:21 <Schism> Okay. It's probably not healthy to go all fangirl when a celebrity likes my tweet on its merits.
19:21 <ADragonDreaming> hm? what happen?
19:21 <Schism> Or, not so much a celebrity, but instead a very prominent politician.

21:15 <Schism> Adra: 'cx bug 2 needs 3 order 923847' -- what the hell am I supposed to do here.
21:16 <Schism> We thankfully ticket cases like that and throw them over to Quality, because what the crap.
21:16 <ADragonDreaming> hehe
21:16 <ADragonDreaming> In my case, I'm the Incident Controller
21:17 <ADragonDreaming> I'm also the five year veteran.
21:17 <Schism> Ooh.
21:17 <Schism> No, seriously, 'ooh', because that's impressive.
21:17 <ADragonDreaming> This is my coworkers going into our Teams channel and going "I've got this caller who can't do thing"
21:17 <Schism> A part of why that's impressive is that you've yet to go completely bugnuts insane.
21:18 <ADragonDreaming> well. In February, we got a new team lead.
21:18 <Schism> Adra: I'm T2 right now. That makes me KIND of in the position between a lead, a manager, and a supervisor, with more work and less pay.
21:18 <ADragonDreaming> As a result of getting said new Team Lead, we now have 30 or so agents rather than the shoestring of 14 to 16 we were trying to survive on before.
21:19 <Schism> Better, but also hectic.
21:19 <ADragonDreaming> Also as a result of getting said new team lead there's actual movement on things like Knowledge Base updates and initiatives to keep agents up to date on knowledge and etc.
21:19 <ADragonDreaming> And yeah, the T2 thing I'm familiar with.
21:20 * Schism blinks, then glares at Adra.
21:20 <Schism> Are you also using SFSC and SFCC?
21:20 <ADragonDreaming> No.
21:20 <Schism> Salesforce, though?
21:20 <ADragonDreaming> Just T2, as in Tier 2, as a sort of general role
21:21 <ADragonDreaming> ran into salesforce briefly when I went to the Nike project.
21:21 <Schism> Stupid service cloud and knowledge base... hah.
21:21 <Schism> We're adjacent, then.
21:21 <ADragonDreaming> this project uses the CA Service Desk.
21:21 <ADragonDreaming> (I only stayed on the Nike project for 4 months, then they asked me back to RouteOne because they were drowning.)
21:21 <Schism> You probably also ran headlong into Nike FC.
21:22 <ADragonDreaming> maybe? Acronyms don't stick.
21:22 <Schism> But I shan't say more about THAT.
21:25 <Schism> Would it, also, kill corporations to ramp up before the holiday season?
21:27 <ADragonDreaming> meaning what, exactly?
21:28 <Schism> Oh, just getting more employees in early to deal with the holiday crush.
21:28 <ADragonDreaming> Ah, that kind of ramp up.
21:32 <Schism> Yerp. As opposed to leaving us all to ... well. Have back-to-back calls and not be able to do our freakin' jobs.

22:14 <Schism> don't move. she might bolt.
22:15 <Ali> Don't you think I know that :P
22:15 <Schism> I jest, of course. But d'awwwwwww.
22:15 <Cepheid> Can confirm, cats not normally lap cats will bolt at the slightest movement.
22:15 <Cepheid> Surprisingly, Spitfire is like this. IF he is asleep when I move too much.
22:15 <Ali> Well the blanket I use for cover, we changed it and the cat seems to like it better.
22:16 <Cepheid> Yes, that is indeed a thing.
22:16 <Cepheid> I obtained a cheap comforter for my bed, and Spitfire absolutely loves the thing.
22:17 <Ali> Well the one I had was a comforter and I guess they didn't like the weave or something

22:20 <Cepheid> Random wholesome frog for president.
22:28 <Cepheid> So, my mother has offered to take care of dealing with the administration of the university for me, given my history with them.
22:28 <Cepheid> Her response after just one day?
22:28 <Cepheid> "Now I understand why you hate dealing with the administration so much."
22:28 <ADragonDreaming> [redacted]?
22:29 <Cepheid> Nah, the kinder statement above.
22:29 <Cepheid> But yeah, basically, the insurance company told her that the school has yet to pay them any money.
22:29 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the school is saying "Not our problem, talk to the insurance company."
22:29 <Cepheid> Which is insisting that it has not received any money from the school.
22:29 <ADragonDreaming> "I did. You haven't paid them any money. Ergo, it's your problem."
22:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, but they keep trying to pass it off to the insurance company.
22:30 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, I know.
22:30 <Cepheid> We're on good terms with the insurance company, so we know they're not lying through their teeth here.
22:30 <ADragonDreaming> My job has taught me how to stonewall; it's also taught me to suss out when the stonewall is a facade.
22:31 <Cepheid> The university, meanwhile, has a reputation in all parts of the administration.
22:31 <Cepheid> And it's not a positive one.
22:32 <ADragonDreaming> I would probably be asking for a copy of the receipt of transmission.
22:32 <ADragonDreaming> "If you paid it to them, you should have a receipt. Please provide a copy that I can take to the insurance company."
22:33 <ADragonDreaming> And if the don't have a receipt, that's then something that can probably be reported to the tax folks.
22:33 <ADragonDreaming> or something of that nature.
22:35 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
22:36 <Cepheid> Schism: You do not have the authority to claim a piece of the states. :P

22:37 <ADragonDreaming> ..huh what? Who claimed Maine?
22:37 * Ali mews at belly rubs
22:38 <Dappled> Because Maine was one of the scariest Freelancers?
22:38 <Cepheid> On Twitter, Schism claimed most of Maine for Canada, except one small little part.
22:38 <ADragonDreaming> Ah.
22:38 <Schism> Cepheid: Oh, that's in reference to Trump claiming Philadelphia for himself.
22:38 * Lumindia snuggles Ali muchy
22:38 * Lumindia also snuggles Schism muchly
22:38 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1324116024678121472
22:38 <Cepheid> Ah.
22:38 <Schism> And I mostly claimed Maine because I have a thing for clam chowder.
22:39 <ADragonDreaming> "It's chowda! Chowda! Say it right!"
22:39 <Cepheid> No.
22:39 <Schism> Chowder! I'm of Halifax lineage, you don't get to tell me how to say it!
22:39 <Cepheid> Though, I'll agree to saying it right if you agree to spelling "Color" as "Colour" and other such words.
22:40 <ADragonDreaming> I'm not a Mainer.
22:40 <ADragonDreaming> I'm just quoting Simpsons.
22:40 <Cepheid> Heh. I know, I know. :P
22:40 <ADragonDreaming> Also, you know why the u got dumped?
22:40 <Cepheid> Not really. My only reason for complaining about it is the inconsistency in programming.
22:40 <ADragonDreaming> movable type in the printing press.
22:40 <Ali> Cause its silly like all the other words with us
22:41 <Cepheid> Huh.
22:41 <Ali> I mean tyres
22:41 <Cepheid> Actually yeah, I can see that.
22:41 <Schism> Oh, and I meant Pennsylvania, not Philadelphia, my apologies.
22:41 <Ali> I cannot get used to that in Motorsport Manager
22:41 <Cepheid> Tai-ers!
22:41 * Cepheid gets shot.
22:41 <Schism> Also, he can claim it all he wants, that's not going to make it real.
22:41 <ADragonDreaming> they got rid of unnecessary letters to save on character counts in newspapers.
22:41 <Schism> ( Reference to original tweet: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324108200141082624 )
22:42 <ADragonDreaming> thus, colour to color, lightening to lightning, etc.
22:42 <Cepheid> Huh.
22:42 <Cepheid> Japanese word for "tire" is タイヤ, "taiya"
22:43 <Schism> Hmmm. There's a can of pea soup in the cupboard. There's half a ham in the fridge.
22:44 <Schism> I'm sure these two won't go together fabulously at all.
22:44 <ADragonDreaming> well, I'm not surprised, Cephied.
22:44 <Cepheid> Interestingly, that Simpsons character may appreciate how "Chowder" is pronounced in Japanese. チャウダー. "chaudaa".
22:44 <ADragonDreaming> the tire would be a foreign import, I think.
22:44 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
22:44 <ADragonDreaming> thus, they'd use the loanword.
22:45 <Cepheid> I'm not saying I'm surprised by it being a loanword. Just how it's spelled in Japanese.
22:45 <Cepheid> They use a LOT of loanwords in Japanese.
22:47 <Cepheid> In fact, we learned of one such loanword today. This time, from French. ズポン, zupon. Apparently derived from "jupon"
22:50 <Cepheid> I find it interesting that they chose "zupon" though, since "jupon" is perfectly viable in Japanese.
22:52 <ADragonDreaming> what's it mean?
22:54 <Cepheid> Trousers. Pants! Pantaloooooons!
22:55 <Cepheid> The other word for pants, パンツ, 'pantsu', has a connotation associated with it.
22:55 <ADragonDreaming> indeed.
22:55 <ADragonDreaming> Wondering what the french root is, though, because "trousers" in French is "pantalons"
22:56 <Cepheid> https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%82%BA%E3%83%9C%E3%83%B3
22:57 <Cepheid> Interestingly, wiktionary says it's zubon, not zupon.
22:57 <Cepheid> But the dictionaries suggests that it's zupon.
22:57 <Cepheid> So, probably a dialect thing.
22:57 <ADragonDreaming> ah, petticoat.
22:58 <ADragonDreaming> I can tell you why they went "zupon" or "zubon" instead of "jupon"
22:58 <ADragonDreaming> French pronunciation of "jupon" is "zhu-pon"
22:58 <Cepheid> ... Ooooor I somehow got my wires crossed, and when I went to write zupon, I wrote zubon. In any case, it's zubon.
22:59 * Cepheid is drugged up, so possible that wires are mixed up.
22:59 <ADragonDreaming> I don't think Japanese has the "zh" sound?
22:59 <ADragonDreaming> so it would be "z" instead.
22:59 <Cepheid> I would not know. I'd have to hear the "zh" sound itself. And given I don't get a lot of French immersion around here...
23:00 <ADragonDreaming> https://translate.google.com/?sl=fr&tl=en&text=jupon&op=translate
23:00 <ADragonDreaming> click the speaker.
23:02 <Schism> I am slightly salty at the moment.
23:02 <Cepheid> Mmm. Yeah, that doesn't match the pre-existing "ju" sound in Japanese. Sounds closer to the "zu" sound.
23:02 <Schism> Joe, "We are not enemies" is not the statement you should be making.
23:02 <ADragonDreaming> that's a classic french J
23:02 <Schism> Because, well, we are.
23:02 <ADragonDreaming> they rarely use a hard J, instead going for the softer "zh"
23:03 * Cepheid applies water to Schism.
23:03 <ADragonDreaming> bonjour, un jeu, etc.
23:03 <Schism> Cepheid: Sorry, I'm annoyed.
23:03 <Cepheid> Nah, it's fine. I was trying to dilute you is all.
23:03 <Cepheid> Or, whatever the word is for breaking down a solid with a liquid.
23:04 <Schism> Dissolve. Either way, I get it. But I am annoyed by a certain Democratic politician trying to make common cause with the people who want me dead.
23:06 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
