00:05 * Schism passes LibrarianofHope a shrimp cocktail with extra lime and cilantro.

00:08 <Schism> Dishes nearly done... next, I should take out the recycling.  Bleh.  Hopefully I can get there and back without killing myself.

00:51 * Ali yawns and flumps in for the evening

00:59 * Schism rolls over and boops the Ali with a cup of nice vanilla tea.

01:00 * Ali sips tea and puts on top hat and monocle. "Quite~"

01:00 * Schism raises her cup. "Pip, pip."

01:02 <LibrarianofHope> Ali!

01:02 <LibrarianofHope> you are late

01:02 <LibrarianofHope> owo

01:02 <LibrarianofHope> no cookies

01:03 * Schism provides Ali with cranberry oatmeal cookies.

01:03 * Ali noms cookies but spits out the cranberries

01:03 <Schism> Wha?!  But... but.  The cranberries are sweet, not sour, and tasty...?

01:06 <Schism> Lemon-frosted cranberry vanilla oatmeal cookies, maybe...

01:08 * Lumindia boops Ali's snoot gently

01:08 <Lumindia> henlo, Ali

01:08 * Ali squeaks and bleps at Lumindia. "Hi's."

01:08 * Lumindia bleps back

01:19 * Schism blinks and finds a bag of Combos she had completely forgotten about.

01:26 <Schism> Hm.  Yes, Shanty is best pirate goat.

01:28 <Ali> And the combos are stale~

01:29 <Schism> Nope...!  Expiration, June 2021.  o3o

01:30 * Schism doesn't open them, though. She knows that if she does, she won't be able to stop herself from eating the whole bag.

03:27 <Schism> Hum.  That was a helpful run of Rogue Legacy 2.  o3o  Got the dash, and also the ability to speak to spirits, not that the latter is likely to have TOO much to say.

03:42 <Schism> Me: "Okay, how am I supposed to beat this trial with all these nightmares."  Me a few moments later, "Oh.  Right, spikes hurt enemies too."

04:05 * Cepheid awakens.

04:17 * Cepheid steals Schism's bag of combos and runs off.

04:34 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-aj9mbi.dynamic.sonic.net)

04:34 <Cepheid> Whelp, that asshat who ruined 50+ vials of vaccine was insane.

04:35 <Cepheid> He thought the vaccine would mutate people's DNA, and thus was unsafe.

04:36 <Heartbreak> Stupidity is no excuse for ... anything.

04:38 <Heartbreak> Good gawds, 'mutate DNA'...

04:39 <Heartbreak> That's just as bad as that one guy that thinks the vaccine will turn you into an alligator.

04:43 <Ali> 10 months of only internet bullcrap will drive people insane

04:46 * Schism returns from one more run of Rogue Legacy. "Bleh."

04:46 <Schism> Hey.  My Combos... ;-;

04:46 <Schism> As I said, if that vaccine can mutate human DNA, /sign me up please/.

04:49 <Schism> Also, hmm.  Rogue Legacy 2 is fun, to be sure.  Mage takes some getting used to.

05:11 * Schism adds Cepheid, Heartbreak, Ali, and Schism to the list of female character names in Rogue Legacy 2.

05:11 * Ali squeaks

05:11 <Heartbreak> O.o

05:11 <Heartbreak> Don't kill me!

05:11 <Schism> They are characters doomed to die!  Well, sorta.

05:38 <Cepheid> Can confirm that new medication helps.

05:39 <Cepheid> Something happened ingame, frustrated me due to silly stupidity.  Rather than lash out at those around me, I managed to request "please don't say anything about that" and after a few minutes, calmed down back to normal.

05:42 <ADragonDreaming> excellent!

05:58 <Finwe> o3o

05:58 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony.

05:59 <Cepheid> I wonder then, which particular illness it is.  It's used as an antipsychotic and treatment for bipolar.

06:06 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Cepheid, DashedRainbows and Schism; Messrs ADragonDreaming and Heartbreak.

06:06 * Finwe doffs his hat.

06:07 <Heartbreak> Stop doing that with your hat.

06:08 * Finwe ruffles a Heartbreak.

06:08 <Heartbreak> Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Keep doing that and you'll turn into a mare.

14:17 <RazorSharpFang> Nokia is up today though

14:19 <Cyan_Spark> I'm still more liquid than gaseous for USD

14:20 <Cyan_Spark> well, something like 60/40

14:20 <RazorSharpFang> Always better safe than sorry.

14:21 <Finwe> From €3.16 to €3.25 today.

14:21 <RazorSharpFang> Nokia Corp right?

14:23 <Cyan_Spark> Didn't know you looked at stocks, Finwe :3

14:24 <Finwe> I live 2 kms from Nokia headquarters.

14:25 <Finwe> In my previous apartment I could see it through my window.

14:26 <Cyan_Spark> wau

14:26 <Cyan_Spark> Hey RazorSharpFang, what does a "Trust" company do?

14:26 <Cyan_Spark> I'm eyeing a precious metals trust

14:28 <RazorSharpFang> Usually holds (and sometimes trades) assets on behalf of other entities. They are en-trust-ed

14:30 <RazorSharpFang> Market open, went from profit to loss to profit again in under a second. These swings.

14:31 <Cyan_Spark> Did the $2000 Trumpbucks get signed?

14:33 <RazorSharpFang> No idea.

14:33 <RazorSharpFang> I'm short the XRX 23 Put, with 10 days to expiry. XRX is trading at 22.79... that's close.

14:35 <Finwe> History knows some cases where a matured futures contract has actually been delivered.

14:35 <RazorSharpFang> These are not futures.

14:35 <RazorSharpFang> These are options. On Equities.

14:36 <Finwe> Not very surprisingly, investment banks arent't very prepared for storing thousands of tons of coal or thousands of heads of cattle.

14:39 <RazorSharpFang> I don't touch commodity futures for the reason that I can't handle physical delivery of the commodity.

14:45 <Finwe> Usually the commodity is never delivered, you just get the difference between the market price and the contract price.

18:39 * Schism flump.

18:39 * Finwe noms on Schism, feels hypoglycaemic.

18:39 * Schism passes Finwe a cup of mixed fruit and yogurt with honey.

18:42 * Finwe accepts Schism's yoghurt but also decides to nom on chicken and bacon baguette.

18:44 <Schism> That's not how you bring your blood sugar up.  o3o;  Chicken bacon baguette will bring you up slowly.

18:46 <Finwe> The main method is breaking down glycogen in liver and releasing it into bloodstream.

18:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> I might have eaten spicy potato chips dragon thingies instead of dinner. Adulting is hard. :3

18:48 <Schism> Aye, but while a baguette with lots of protein is a good way to keep your blood sugar up for a few hours, it won't do much for your blood sugar now.

18:55 <LibrarianofHope> sugar up?

18:55 <LibrarianofHope> drink a small coke

18:56 <LibrarianofHope> maybe

18:57 <Finwe> I have some cola lemonade, but it's sugar-free. o3o

18:57 <LibrarianofHope> you want to get your sugar up?

18:59 <Schism> And back to work.  Grind...

18:59 <ADragonDreaming> hypoglycaemic means low blood sugar

18:59 <ADragonDreaming> so yes, sugar needs to go up.

19:00 <LibrarianofHope> a usual mexican phrase is "you have your pressure down, take a small coke"

19:00 <LibrarianofHope> im paraphrasing

19:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> I just found out that the entire reason you cannot switch the unit on the device itself is because people are silly and can't read :/

19:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> Wow! What a waste.

19:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Fanfiction: The Pines of Roam [ https://tinyurl.com/yy5fdskz ]

19:03 <LibrarianofHope> unit?

19:03 <LibrarianofHope> you are a cyborg

19:03 <LibrarianofHope> ahh

19:05 <Starlight_Glimmer> mg/dl (which is what I use) vs. mmol/l

19:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> You can convert with a factor of 0.0555

19:07 <Finwe> Using the molar mass of glucose and the fact that one litre is ten decilitres. o3o

19:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes. I personally thing mg/dl is a bit more intuitive. I don't know if there is any objective reason beyond that to prefer one unit over the other.

19:09 <Finwe> The molar mass of glucose is 180.156 g/mol.

19:10 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: The reactions take place based on the number of molecules, not mass.

19:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes. That's why the factor on the other direction is 18.02 (rounded) ;)

19:10 <Finwe> However, when there's only one molecule involved, there's no difference.

19:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well the devices measure the same thing anyway.

19:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> So it's just a matter of how the measurement is displayed.

19:11 <Finwe> The values are commensurate with a constant factor.

19:13 <Finwe> If there were another molecule with properties similar to those of glucose but with different molar mass, then you could just add the amounts of substance but adding the masses would not give anything sensible.

19:17 * Starlight_Glimmer sips Tea

19:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> I must have silicon feet around somewhere, but I can't find them.

19:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'd like to avoid scratching my new teapot.

19:25 * Starlight_Glimmer places roll after roll of packing tape on Finwe's horn while searching their apartment.

19:26 * Finwe only has a small Ikea teapot.

19:42 <Starlight_Glimmer> The important question is though: Does it support RFC 7168?

19:43 * Starlight_Glimmer was unable to find the silicon feet, blames this on the lack of space on Finwe's horn.

19:51 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: I don't think so, there's no Ethernet adapter.

19:53 <LibrarianofHope> owo

19:53 <LibrarianofHope> its all greek to me

19:54 * LibrarianofHope rubs finwe to get some genius powah

19:57 <Finwe> IIRC, RFC 7168 is the Hypertext Coffee Pot Control protocol.

19:58 <Finwe> If HTCPC connection is attempted to a teapot, it should send an "I am a teapot" response.

19:59 <Finwe> HTCPCP, of course.

20:01 <Finwe> HTCPCP response 418 "I'm a teapot": "TEA-capable pots that are not provisioned to brew coffee may return either a status code of 503, indicating temporary unavailability of coffee, or a code of 418 as defined in the base HTCPCP specification to denote a more permanent indication that the pot is a teapot."

20:02 <Finwe> From https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7168

20:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> This is actually the extention that allows for brewing of tea, yes.

20:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> extension*

20:02 <Finwe> It should be noted that the FRC documents are not standards as such, just requests for comments.

20:03 <Finwe> RFC, not FRC, as I wrote there.

20:04 * Finwe 's hooves are a bit inaccurate at the moment.

20:04 <LibrarianofHope> ....

20:04 <LibrarianofHope> i kinda get it

20:05 <Starlight_Glimmer> I can relate to that. Switching languages constantly doesn't help. I can either do English or German, but both at the same time creates a mess, like writing thing instead of think as I did earlier.

20:06 <Starlight_Glimmer> Unfortunately I was not yet successful in convincing my peers to give up their native language. I wonder why.

20:07 * Starlight_Glimmer doesn't check things before hitting enter either, so that's not helping.

20:07 <Finwe> RFC 2324 is more exhausting on the subject: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324.txt

20:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> One of the few things I actually really like about Matrix is that it lets you edit messages. IRC is lacking in that regard.

20:10 <Finwe> Well, if you write "extention" followed by "s/nt/ns/", everyone knows what you meant.

20:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> Except people unfamiliar with sed or vim ;)

20:14 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm actually writing Perl a lot, but it skipped my mind 6_9

20:14 <Finwe> If what you said was in the context variable, $what_you_actually_should_have_said =~ s/nt/ns/ should do the trick.

20:22 <Finwe> At least if you do not forget the final semicolon. o3o

20:24 * Finwe doesn't really know Perl that well.

20:24 <Finwe> A friend of mine requested that I solve some problems using Perl, and I did so, resulting in something like https://github.com/vhalkola/aoc2020/blob/main/aoc2

20:27 <Finwe> Or https://github.com/vhalkola/aoc2020/blob/main/aoc6b

20:32 <Starlight_Glimmer> Quite a lot of my employers stuff is written in Perl

20:34 <LibrarianofHope> looks hard

20:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> Perl uses a lot implicit stuff (not having to name arguments, function signatures instead of brackets) and really likes obscure special characters to name things. Other than that it's actually really good to quickly solve problems.

20:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> Unfortunately one could say it has served as a testing ground for more modern programming languages, so it has a couple of odd quirks.

20:39 <Finwe> Ruby is somewhat based on Perl, and Raku is basically Perl 6.

20:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> PHP was heavily inspired by Perl as well.

20:41 <Finwe> Yup.

20:43 <Finwe> Then we have LISP, which is, well, Lots of Irritating Superfluous Parentheses.

20:43 <Finwe> (Actually LISt Processing language)

20:45 <Finwe> And Perl = Pathetically Eclectic Rubbish Lister (actually Practical extraction and reporting language).

20:50 <Finwe> A Hello World function in LISP would be something like (defun hello_world () (print (list 'Hello 'World)))

21:02 <Finwe> And then we have Python, where you could write something like _='_=%r;print _%%_';print _%_

21:03 <LibrarianofHope> i took my doggie girl for bath

21:03 <LibrarianofHope> she is gonna be mad at me

21:03 <LibrarianofHope> for lke a minute owo

21:04 <Finwe> And C, which is quite astounding.

21:04 <Finwe> Like https://users.aalto.fi/~vhalkola/pi.c

21:05 <Finwe> A program that prints the 10,000 first significant digits of pi. o3o

21:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Friendship Music: Tw3Lv3 - a good friend is all you need [Lo-fi] [ https://tinyurl.com/y4fo8tos ]

21:12 <Finwe> Good dentistry, warm fire and soft toilet paper is all you need, as far as Cohen the Barbarian is concerned.

21:12 <Finwe> or was it "good dentistry, clean underwear and soft toilet paper"?

21:14 <Finwe> 'Twas "Hot water, good dentishty and shoft lavatory paper."

21:17 <Schism> Dappled: Mondays are not busy.  Mondays are full of people who are getting off their weekends and want to know things.  Tuesdays are full of all the people who skip calling us on Monday because they think that Tuesdays won't be as busy.

21:17 <Finwe> Tomorrow is a holiday, though.

21:19 <Schism> Sadly, we don't celebrate Epiphany.

21:19 * Dappled wriggles into existence once more.

21:19 * Schism hasn't had 30 seconds between calls since 9 AM.

21:19 * Dappled drinks more cream soda dr. Pepper. The best Dr. Pepper.

21:20 * Schism curls around her diet cherry Dr. Pepper.

21:21 <Finwe> The middle of winter is loaded with holidays: Christmas, Boxing Day (St Stephensmas), New Year's Day (St Sylvestersmas) and Epiphany.

21:21 <Schism> Quite.  We get Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year's, and then we have Family Day on the 15th of February.

21:21 * Dappled stares at Family Day. Another day to avoid.

21:22 <Finwe> Then there's Good Friday, Easter and Easter Monday.

21:23 <Finwe> In March or in April.

21:23 <Schism> https://www.ontario.ca/document/your-guide-employment-standards-act-0/public-holidays

21:24 <Finwe> Followed by Ascension and Pentecost.

21:24 <Finwe> And then there's Midsummer (St Johnsmas).

21:25 <Schism> I must take a moment to speak with my manager about what happened with New Year's Day.  I worked 5 hours, and was only credited 5 hours in lieu for that day on our system.

21:25 * Dappled just thinks we should add the Solstices and Equinoxes cause way more religions use those as holidays and we don't have to base all of our holidays on capitilism and christianity.

21:25 <Finwe> The autumn is devoid of any public holidays, except some that are Sundays and therefore would be public holidays anyhoof.

21:26 <Schism> Labour Day is typically the first Monday in September; Thanksgiving is sometime in October, I never cared enough to determine when exactly.  

21:26 <Schism> Ultimately, Ontario's pretty good about spacing these things out a little more.

21:27 <Finwe> Dappled: Christmas, Easter, Midsummer and All Hallows were all deviously placed to coincide with old Germanic/Celtic/whatnot equinox and solstice celebrations.

21:27 <Schism> Ah well.  I have a bone to pick with my manager in an hourish when we do our weekly meeting, viz. stat pay, holidays et al.  I did request a holiday paid day off later on in the season, after all.

21:28 * Schism flops back into work.

21:28 <LibrarianofHope> you can enjoy christmas as an inherently nice time of the year, independent of the christian side

21:29 <Finwe> Roman as well.

21:30 <Finwe> Christmas mystically coincides with the end of Saturnalia.

21:31 <Finwe> And St Valentine's Day with Lupercalia.

21:31 <LibrarianofHope> lupercalia sounded fun

21:32 * Dappled votes for adding every full moon to the list of recognized holidays I don't have to work.

21:33 <LibrarianofHope> give this man a beer!

21:33 <Finwe> You're lucky! Full moon tonight.

21:33 <Dappled> Am I lucky? Cause I have to work.

21:33 <Finwe> You hear the sound of a jackal howling at moon.

21:34 <Finwe> Dappled: Playing NetHack during full moon gives you +1 luck. o3o

21:34 <Finwe> Playing during new moon, respectively, gives you -1 luck.

21:34 <Finwe> Be careful! New moon tonight.

21:34 <Dappled> More games should do this.

21:35 <Finwe> During new moon, cockatrices also petrify you instantly.

21:35 <LibrarianofHope> full moon! da moon rises

21:35 * LibrarianofHope throws a squig at finwe

21:36 *** Joins: Ali (Ali@Pony-0ptcsc.4nua.5fca.1702.2600.IP)

21:36 *** ChanServ sets mode: +qo Ali Ali

21:36 * Ali flops over the Dappled

21:37 * Dappled hugs the Ali.

21:37 <Finwe> You hear the cockatrice's hissing! You are slowing down."

21:37 <Finwe> Miss Ali, Lt Pony|53292.

21:37 <Finwe> o7

21:38 * Dappled glares at people who think crunchy peanut butter is ever acceptable.

21:39 <Finwe> I've never had any peanut butter.

21:39 <LibrarianofHope> aliiii

21:39 <Dappled> If you ever want to try it, avoid crunchy. It's like they think that half finished is better.

21:39 * LibrarianofHope glomps ali

21:40 * Ali splats

21:45 * Pony|53292 waves at Finwe.

21:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> Look who has slept through half the day!

21:48 * Dappled grumbles. The joys of accessing saves from different locations. Apparently I accidentally overwrote my later one with an earlier one and just lost progress on my nuzlocke. Went from having gotten Flash to not even having Cut. Luckly, I didn't lose any gym badges or reset past the death of a mon, but

21:48 * Dappled still annoying.

21:50 <Ali> Like a good little night owl pony should Starlight_Glimmer

21:51 <Starlight_Glimmer> Oh don't give me that. Clearly the Ali needs more supervision :3

21:51 * Ali hufflies and crosses hooves.

21:52 <Dappled> Kay, didn't lose that much, just the rival battle I think and the trek to Flash.

21:53 <LibrarianofHope> half the day?

21:53 <LibrarianofHope> more than half owo

21:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> Depends on your timezone.

21:56 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: Well, who?

21:56 <Finwe> Ali?

21:56 * Ali headtilts

21:57 <Finwe> I guess it's what happens if you are Factorio or Civ pony all night long.

21:57 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes, Finwe.

21:58 <Finwe> Then you'll be sleepy pony from early morning well into afternoon.

21:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also sleeping through half the day is a bit of an idiom.

22:01 * Dappled sad horses! This time the rival cost me my Diglett! No fair!

22:05 * Finwe noms on Dappled's Pokémon collection.

22:05 <Finwe> If Diglett indeed is a Pokémon.

22:05 <Dappled> Yeah.

22:06 * Dappled nuzlockes cause needs the abuse apparently.

22:06 <LibrarianofHope> nuzlocke-turn the easiest game into dark souls

22:07 <LibrarianofHope> not that i disapprove

22:07 <LibrarianofHope> i always have fun hearing my bros reactions when he does that

22:08 * Dappled thinks the Souls games difficulty is overhyped. It's just the difficulty has gotten easier in a lot of more recent games.

22:08 * Dappled glares at the mincart level of Donkey Kong Country.

22:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> I don't have the patience for Pokemon anymore. I'm getting old.

22:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Even in an emulator with speed hack I think I'd consider it boring now.

22:09 <Finwe> You also seem to lack the ´ for Pokémon.

22:10 * Dappled can't be bothered to figure out how to do that.

22:10 <Finwe> With a Scandinavian keyboard it's really easy. o3o

22:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because I'm typing on my phone, yes. I can't be bothered on the touch keyboard.

22:10 <Finwe> You just press ´ followed by e.

22:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> Same here on physical keyboards.

22:11 * Dappled doesn't even see that key on american boards.

22:11 <Finwe> Depending on the input method, if you have no dead keys specified, then you need to use compose.

22:13 <Finwe> The M$ way is to remember the Unicode code and type it on the numberpad while holding Alt.

22:15 *** Quits: Dakota (dwhitevalle@always.broken.sometimes.patched.never.fixed) (Quit: WeeChat 3.0)

22:22 * Finwe decides to teach Demogorgon who's who in the Realms.

22:23 <Finwe> Meaning that my party's going to descent to the final level of Watcher's Keep. o3o!

22:27 * Dappled sees that pokemon with pickup have a chance to grab rare candies after every battle they aren't holding something in FireRed/LeafGreen. Meowth is now my bestest bro.

22:28 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-mioavt.c2vi.m095.067c.2001.IP)

22:42 <Finwe> Alright, the first iteration ends with Sir Anomen's brain being eaten by a Ulitharid.

22:42 <Finwe> We'll try again.

22:43 * Dappled doesn't think brains should be eaten.

22:43 <Finwe> This time perhaps save before charging into the Illithid encampent like a bull at a gate.

22:43 <Dappled> But they'd never see it coming!

22:44 * Angeline sings at Dappled.

22:44 <Angeline> You'll see my mind's too fast for eyeeees

22:44 * Dappled headtilts.

22:44 <Angeline> You're done iiiiiiin!~

22:44 <Angeline> Byyyy the time it's hit you, your last surpriiiiiise!~

22:45 <Finwe> Attempt #3 ends up with the Bhaalspawn's brain being devoured by an Illithid, forcing reload.

22:45 <Angeline> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FG85wVSV3o [Last Surprise] [Persona OST]

22:45 * Dappled became confused.

22:47 * Dappled watched his roommate play that.

22:47 * Angeline continues to sing and also dance!

22:47 * Dappled carameldansen?

22:55 * Schism flops in from work. Does laundry now.

23:03 * Starlight_Glimmer places another laundry basket next to Schism's

23:03 * Schism carefully ignores it.

23:03 * Dappled puts the infinite amount of cans into the recycling before work. Later pones.

23:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> You're disappointing me Schism :3

23:09 <Schism> Steam, what are you doing.

23:09 * Starlight_Glimmer might have been guilty in the past of waiting with laundry until their girl friend visited so she could help them fold clothes.

23:10 <Schism> Clothes are easy.  Fitted sheets, however, cannot be folded under any metric.

23:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> Not because I needed her, just because I was a bit lazy.

23:10 <Schism> Steam crash for anyone else?

23:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> Oh I just do them roughly and throw them into the bottom of my wardrobe.

23:12 *** Quits: Koopz (Koopz@Pony-0ces8c.rocks) (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in)

23:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> Whenever possible I wash them the same day I remove them so no folding is required because I just put them right back.
