00:05 <RichardMist> Finwe, good luck with receiving your RX 580
00:06 <Schism> Ooohg... I just read a chapter of a fanfic where the author did a very, very good job of illustrating the problems viz. one's perception of a person vs. how a person wants to be viewed, esp. deadnaming.

00:08 <Schism> All of the protagonist's chapters describe her as Jen, but when the PoV shifts to this other character, she can't help but think of her as "Jenny" -- even though that appellation was repeatedly, and roughly, discarded and denied.
00:08 <Finwe> I'd prefer certainty to luck.

14:17 <RazorSharpFang> Evening.
14:18 <Cyan_Spark> Markets looking pretty red on the meme side
14:18 <Cyan_Spark> What about you, Razor?
14:18 <RazorSharpFang> I'm logging on just now.
14:20 <RazorSharpFang> My daily P/L is +526 AUD apparently.
14:23 <Cyan_Spark> Green on your end, then
14:24 <RazorSharpFang> Most of the underlyings are up. Exceptions are: XRX -0.53%, NEM: -0.03%, NOK: -0.25%;
14:26 <Cyan_Spark> Ah, NOK...
14:26 <RazorSharpFang> Nokia still exists. Trading for around $4 a share, so they're easy to acquire a position in with little capital.
14:27 <Cyan_Spark> I wonder what their goals are these days
14:27 <RazorSharpFang> 5G service provider.
14:27 <Cyan_Spark> NOK seems to trade sideways, so I suppose that's attractive to the theta gang
14:28 <RazorSharpFang> Yes, but since NOK has so little value per-share, it's difficult to trade options on since the strikes are so wide apart. a 1-width strike is huge on a $4 underlying. Plus, there's little demand for options on Nokia.
14:28 <RazorSharpFang> You don't hear much about Nokia on WSB
14:29 <Cyan_Spark> Indeed
14:29 <Cyan_Spark> Blackberry was declared a meme stock a while ago
14:29 <RazorSharpFang> Do they actually still exist?
14:29 <Cyan_Spark> It... seems to also be trading sideways with some slippage, after having gone up somewhat
14:29 <Cyan_Spark> Ticker is BB
14:30 <Cyan_Spark> I had an old Blackberry ticker sitting around pulling no data; it made me think the company had been delisted for a few years
14:30 <Cyan_Spark> apparently they just changed their ticker
14:31 <Cyan_Spark> PLTR starting strong at +3.30%
14:31 <RazorSharpFang> Imaging buying blackberry at its peak and holding onto it. You'd feel pretty silly.
14:31 <Cyan_Spark> Indeed
14:31 <Cyan_Spark> Gold slipping, too
14:32 <Cyan_Spark> WSB keeps betting on PLTR 30c week after week
14:32 <Cyan_Spark> Never seems to stay above 30 for long
14:32 <Cyan_Spark> I'm betting on meme fatigue
14:34 <RazorSharpFang> Meme fatigue lol
14:34 <Cyan_Spark> Unfortunately, it does seem like I'm holding a bag of fatigue myself X3
14:35 <Cyan_Spark> I did predict a pennant pattern stabilizing at 28 for PLTR though; right now it's oscillating near that mark
14:35 <Cyan_Spark> What happens afterwards, I can't say for sure
14:35 <Cyan_Spark> Certainly it seems that the vaccine distribution announcement hasn't made it shoot up
14:36 <RazorSharpFang> That is strange
14:39 <Cyan_Spark> How much will bitcoin eat away at gold's interest?
14:39 <RazorSharpFang> That's a difficult question.
14:44 <RichardMist> 5G disaster annoyed me
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> What 5G disaster?
14:46 <RichardMist> People talking "5G killing you and other useless things"
14:46 <RichardMist> More and more people talking about that
14:46 <RazorSharpFang> That's potentially more silly than cell phones giving you cancer.
14:47 <RichardMist> heh, yep
14:54 <Cyan_Spark> Only thing I'm concerned about is 5G's power use 🙃
14:55 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmm.
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> I just don't understand
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> I don't think I ever will
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> It all seems to be a game of luck
15:16 <RazorSharpFang> The irrationality of the market?
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> What to play, when to play
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> Yeah
15:16 <RichardMist> Powerm yeah, it's prettyinterestingthing
15:17 <Cyan_Spark> PLTR has stabilized at 28.00, looks like it's going up
15:17 <Cyan_Spark> I hope I'm wrong
15:19 <Cyan_Spark> Hey RazorSharpFang, ever heard of Tetris Effect?
15:19 <RazorSharpFang> I have not.
15:19 <Cyan_Spark> It's a VR-optional game that takes the immersion and flow of Tetris to the next level
15:20 <Finwe> Publish Tetris, have your enemies play Tetris instead of working -> profit.
15:20 <Cyan_Spark> lol
15:21 <RichardMist> Nah, not that Facebook VR

15:23 <Cyan_Spark> lol, you can trade Uranium OTC on the market
15:23 <Cyan_Spark> What are the commodity things called again, RazorSharpFang?
15:23 <Cyan_Spark> Where you run the risk of getting a truck of uranium to your residence with instructions to unload
15:24 <RazorSharpFang> That's called a Future Contract (Futures for short)
15:25 <Cyan_Spark> Ah
15:25 <RazorSharpFang> Unless Options which expire worthless, Futures always expire INTO the commodity.
15:25 <Cyan_Spark> PLTR has slipped down into the 27.6 range
15:25 <Cyan_Spark> Incredible
15:26 <Cyan_Spark> Heh, expiring into the commodity
15:26 <Cyan_Spark> Guess today's a "make-no-moves" day again for me
15:26 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, hence why everyone wanted to ditch their oil futures before it turned literally into oil.
15:27 <RazorSharpFang> Today I rolled my XOM short put expiring Dec18 into Dec31 for $50 USD credit.
15:29 <Cyan_Spark> I'm worried that I'm only building experience in one corner of the market, with one demographic of traders
15:29 <Cyan_Spark> I find myself asking the same question at the end of the day — where can money go?
15:30 <Cyan_Spark> If stock pops, and traders shun it, where will people look to? Crypto? Precious resources?
15:30 <RazorSharpFang> Hang on. A stock pops - do you mean it moons or it crashes?
15:31 <Cyan_Spark> Mmm... the stock bubble* pops, then
15:32 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, if the underlying crashes, then... they're either joining Cash-Gang, going into Governmental-Bonds, Commodities or cryptos.
15:32 <Cyan_Spark> government bonds are probably out of the question
15:32 <Cyan_Spark> What about foreign stocks?
15:33 <RazorSharpFang> You say that, but the US has committed to unlimited buying-back of government bonds.
15:33 <Cyan_Spark> At what %?
15:33 <Cyan_Spark> Oh, at the printed %
15:33 <Cyan_Spark> So they're just gonna print
15:33 <RazorSharpFang> Money printer go Brrr
15:34 <Cyan_Spark> But aren't rates terrible right now?
15:34 <RazorSharpFang> Yes, but there's always SOME interest in government bonds to hedge and guarantee at least SOME return.
15:34 <Cyan_Spark> 1%?
15:35 <Cyan_Spark> Hm.
15:35 <Cyan_Spark> Cash Gang, lol
15:35 <Cyan_Spark> Nothing much I can do about that
15:35 <RazorSharpFang> If the markets crash, the bonds will almost surely increase in value.
15:35 <Cyan_Spark> Certainly not above their 1% promise
15:35 <Cyan_Spark> Would people buy a 1% bond for a 2% premium?
15:36 <RazorSharpFang> No, but you would buy a 1% bond for a 0.5% premium, potentially.
15:36 <RazorSharpFang> Which could have been higher than what it was originally sold for.
15:37 <Cyan_Spark> Hold on... I buy a piece of paper from the government for $1000, which says the government will give me $1010 if I turn in the piece of paper in exactly one year
15:38 <Cyan_Spark> And... I sell the piece of paper for $1005 before the year ends?
15:38 <RazorSharpFang> Yes.
15:38 <Cyan_Spark> So now I'm cash gang
15:38 <RazorSharpFang> No, you're cash gang if you do term-deposits.
15:38 <Cyan_Spark> okay, well, now I have $1005 and I don't know what to do with it
15:38 <Cyan_Spark> stocks are terrible, bonds are low-rate
15:39 <RazorSharpFang> Some crazy people buy the dip.
15:39 <Cyan_Spark> or do I just shrug and stuff it back into stocks, foreseeing a rebound?
15:39 <Cyan_Spark> lol
15:42 <RazorSharpFang> Stocks go up overall of course.
15:46 * RichardMist *noms Panna cotta*
15:47 <Cyan_Spark> Aight, going to bed now I think

17:30 <Cepheid> That is a confusing thing to be reading just after waking up. "In order to use Intel's Xe MAX discrete graphics card in Linux currently, you need to make use of a virtual machine running a Linux kernel, atop a host running a Linux kernel, as you cannot use the vidoe card in a host-only configuration."
17:32 <Cepheid> This is specific to laptops only, apparently, currently. The reason is that there seems to be some sort of conflict between the integrated video card and the discrete video card that has yet to be resolved.
17:33 <Cepheid> With respects to the drivers, that is.

18:13 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:13 <Cepheid> That's what I was thinking, too, strangely.

18:35 <ADragonDreaming> aye
18:36 <ADragonDreaming> out of curiosity, what would categorize me as?
18:40 <Cepheid> Hmm... That's hard for me to answer. You strike me as a sort of a mix between The Roomba, The Union Man, and The Summon. The reason it's hard for me to pick one specifically is because I don't know you as well as you think I do, or know me. I talk a lot about myself at times, but you, you're not as open, and I don't really pry, or like prying, so...
18:42 <ADragonDreaming> I'd say that's about accurate.
18:42 <ADragonDreaming> "The Summon" is definitely up there.
18:43 <Cepheid> Yeah, The Summon is definitely the big one. The Roomba because you're usually always around, but there have been periods where you just weren't around for a long time, and things get sort of awkwardly quiet for a bit.
18:46 <Cepheid> The Union Man primarily because every now and then, you demonstrate some new skill that I didn't know you had, and you somehow keep adding to the list.
18:47 <Cepheid> Plus, I think you legitimately would help me hide a body if I somehow created one.
18:47 <ADragonDreaming> It would depend on the circumstances.

18:48 <ADragonDreaming> in the comments, Cepheid. You can flinch shot monsters into raised shields.
18:48 <Cepheid> The only way I'd create one is if it involved someone so utterly hated and despised, that no one would actually care if the body was even out in the open.
18:48 <Cepheid> ... Huh.

18:55 <Cepheid> *YAY*'s on fire, yo.
19:02 <Cepheid> Looks like Capcom is starting to release demonstration videos of various weapons in MH:Rise.
19:02 <Cepheid> Looks like... Bow remains mostly the same as it was in World.

19:06 <RichardMist> Hoi Cepheid and others
19:06 * RichardMist *wavies*
19:06 <Cepheid> Hey.
19:07 <RichardMist> How are you all?
19:07 * Finwe boops RichardMist.
19:07 <Finwe> o3o
19:07 <Cepheid> Hum. ADra, just for kicks, I took a quick peek at the MR Kulve quest. It's different than the siege in one particular detail.
19:08 <Cepheid> Two, if you consider that she starts in area 2 by default.
19:08 * RichardMist *covers his snoot* "Eep"
19:08 <RichardMist> I am glad to see you too, Finwe
19:08 <Cepheid> Unlike the siege, the quest is a slay quest. It doesn't end with just a horn break.
19:10 <Cepheid> Also, we are definitely not geared for fighting it. Even with max-level pre-augmented armor, her damage output is insane.
19:12 <RichardMist> Finwe, how is the weather today?
19:13 <Finwe> Dark. I daresay it's cloudy, I cannot see any stars.
19:13 <Finwe> -0.5°C
19:14 <RichardMist> oh, a little bit warmer that yesterday
19:14 <RichardMist> than*
19:14 <Cepheid> Hmm. R9 armor requires Spiritvein Gem Shards. R10 and R11 armor need Spiritvein Gems. R12 armor needs Great Spiritvein Gems.
19:15 <RichardMist> And, yep, I saw the some clouds yesterday
19:20 <ADragonDreaming> Which means we just need to git gud, Ceph. Heheh
19:20 <Cepheid> More or less.
19:20 <Cepheid> And start boosting the levels of the Guiding Lands up to 7.
19:20 <ADragonDreaming> I actually think the set that I built for the siege will be fine.
19:20 <ADragonDreaming> It just falls on me to shield correctly.
19:20 <Cepheid> Same, it just needs to have it's upgrade limit increased is all.
19:21 <Cepheid> Like, I'm talking up to 80% of my health lost in one attack.
19:21 <ADragonDreaming> Sounds like Ancient Leshen.
19:24 <Cepheid> Mmhmm. And dodging is... kind of tricky, given her size.
19:28 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, before I do anything else MH related, I should take a shower, and maybe get a bit of studying done. See also: Take my medications.
19:30 <ADragonDreaming> aye

20:07 <Cepheid> So, you remember the other day when I was having my little... episode and I said my arms felt like they were on fire? I used an infrared thermometer to record the temperature of my arm, obtaining multiple reports just to verify the number. It was 98.8F. Anyhoo.
20:08 <Cepheid> Now that I don't feel that way, and after a hot shower? I took the readings again, and they came out to 97.1F. Same spot.
20:09 <ADragonDreaming> 98.6 is ideal core temp... surface temp is likely less than that as a rule...
20:12 <ADragonDreaming> 98.8 is not outside of the normal range. So the feeling of arms on fire is unlikely to be an actual fever or temperature reaction.
20:12 <ADragonDreaming> Discussed with my dad, he agrees. (he's a medical technologist, lots of labwork and basic medical knowledge)
20:12 <Cepheid> Ah.
20:13 <ADragonDreaming> and 97.1 F after a shower, also within expected range.
20:13 <Cepheid> With the IR thermometer, my usual temperature, with proper measuring at the head, is 97.3-97.6. Usually I start feeling like garbage by 98.3.
20:14 <ADragonDreaming> okay, so that is more context. 98.6 is the average core, but each body is different.
20:14 <ADragonDreaming> some people run hot, some run cold.
20:14 <Cepheid> Which usually occurs about 3-4 hours into my day, and assuming I didn't take any painkillers or anything like that.
20:14 <Cepheid> Likely I just run hot due to the chronic infection.
20:14 <Cepheid> Or, rather, cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon.
20:15 <ADragonDreaming> So if 98.8 is outside of a usual range for you, then it might well indicate some actual heating up.
20:16 <Cepheid> When I said my arms felt really hot, and were burning, I meant it felt like someone was applying a slightly-too-hot piece of metal to my arm. Not enough to leave a mark, but enough that my body would go "I shouldn't be touching that."
20:16 <Cepheid> With the occasional "My skin is being burnted by something really hot" sensation at various points.
20:17 <ADragonDreaming> hmmm... that sounds likes nerves firing.
20:17 <Cepheid> Fortunately, this only ever occurs during mood swings, so.. Hot flashes?

21:19 <RichardMist> Hello Bubbles, nice to meet you!
21:19 * RichardMist *wavies*
21:19 <Bubbles> Hello
21:21 <Cepheid> So, logical question. Suppose I identify as a member of a particular group. Now, suppose that this group suffers discrimination, like many others, and as a result, there are terms, jokes, commentary that are consider derogatory, discriminatory, rude, etc.
21:21 <Cepheid> Now, from my perspective, it is true that many of these terms, jokes, and commentary are, in fact, rude, derogatory, discriminatory, and so on.
21:22 <Cepheid> However, there are terms, jokes and comments that, when I look at them, I cannot see as anything more than either a troll, or some sort of joke, because when said stuff is used as an attempt to insult, it simply doesn't sound like it's an insult.
21:23 <Cepheid> As a result, I have differing ideas from the rest of the group I identify with, on what is derogatory, rude, insulting, discriminatory, and so on. And as such, I will not react the same way as people of that group when such stuff comes up.
21:23 <Cepheid> Does that make me a bad person, or a 'traitor' to said group?
21:23 <Bubbles> No.
21:24 <Cepheid> Or does it simply mean something along the lines of "I think we have bigger issues to deal with than worry about this."?
21:24 <Cepheid> Because that's sort of how I feel.
21:24 <Bubbles> As long as you understand that even though the terms don't affect you personally they can still affect others, then you're fine
21:25 <RichardMist> If you do something that people do not like and you continue doing that, then yes, you're bad
21:25 <RichardMist> If you're doing that without any purpose
21:25 <Cepheid> There are, in fact, commentaries, jokes and the like that are indeed problematic, in that they are directed attacks towards individuals of the group in question. But others are... less so? I don't know how to express it.
21:26 <Cepheid> Like, if you try to use them in an attacking or insulting manner, they don't sound serious. If anything, they tend to sound more like someone just making an internet forum troll posting or terrible joke.
21:26 <Cepheid> RichardMist: In this case, it's not that I do these things. It's more that, I don't see these particular things as a problem, when there are bigger issues to deal with.
21:27 <Cepheid> AKA: Prioritizing.
21:28 <Cepheid> Also, the more the relevant terms get thrown around, the less meaning they seem to have, because the terms start to get applied to more than just a target group.
21:30 <RichardMist> Yes, you should pay attention to serious things, because these things are important and much more important that insults, trolls, haters, and all sorts of other things
21:31 * Ali pops Bubbles
21:33 <Bubbles> But also people's past experiences may mean those words may be more damagingg to them, even if those terms may seem more trivial to you. *pops*
21:33 <RichardMist> Ali, how are you feeling today?
21:33 <Cepheid> This is true, yes.
21:34 <Ali> Aggitated
21:34 *** Joins: ^-^ (^-^@Pony-pq554b.knvltn.sbcglobal.net)
21:35 <Cepheid> Again, this is one of those cases that's just plain straight up a mess.
21:36 <Bubbles> Cepheid, as long as no-one's getting at you for it and you're not making light of it, it's probably fine.
21:37 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:37 <RichardMist> Yes, for some, these small things are not small, and have a great affection on the psychological level.
21:37 <RichardMist> Ali, why's that ?
21:37 <Cepheid> It's just, I'm logically trying to analyze a particular scenario that I have observed, and my brain is having difficulties making heads or tails of it, because it's too open of a problem for analysis. Too many ways to look at it.
21:38 <RichardMist> This problem is very difficult to fix now
21:43 <Cepheid> Such is the nature of everyone being allowed to have their own thoughts about what is right and what is wrong.

22:08 <Cepheid> So, basically, until say, Wednesday at around mmm... Noon? I'll be unavailable for hunting or gaming. If I do hunt or game, it'll be at around 7-9 PM.
22:08 <Cepheid> Thursday may also be interesting.
22:08 <Cepheid> As I have a dentist appointment to get a couple of developing cavities filled before they get worse.

22:12 <Cepheid> Before anyone complains that I should be doing better with my dental hygeine, even the dentist told me that this would have happened sooner or later regardless of how good my dental hygeine is.
22:15 <Cepheid> My teeth are all impacted to begin with, leading to problems in which there's no way dental floss, brushing, or mouthwash can help in certain spots. I also grind my teeth a lot, among other issues, that simply cannot be resolved.

23:04 <Cepheid> I'm not exactly sure what the fury state *DOES*, but it seems to be an important state to be aware of.
23:06 <Cepheid> My guess is, it's some sort of permanent enrage. But the Kulve siege stuff seems to imply that it's something worse, given that if you cut Kulve's horns off during the Fury state, you get extra bonuses.
