01:47 <ADragonDreaming> what's this then?
01:47 <Schism> A peculiar and metaphysical metaphor for the struggles of making one's life work.
01:48 <Schism> And becoming more than what you were, accepting your past and growing beyond it.
01:49 <ADragonDreaming> A mountain in British Columbia. Also, a game set on said mountain.
01:49 <Schism> Indeed. o3o
01:50 <Schism> An excellent game, of course.
01:51 <ADragonDreaming> You know what I found in the grocery store?
01:51 <Schism> Dunkaroos?
01:51 <ADragonDreaming> All Dressed chips.
01:51 <Schism> Oh, I see. o3o Well, those are also of the good.
01:52 <ADragonDreaming> today I also picked up: a cart, or dolly, for moving furniture, and two 64 gb microSDX cards.
01:52 <ADragonDreaming> the cards were $6.50.
01:52 <ADragonDreaming> The cart was $66.50
02:00 <Ali> Since when has 64gb sticks gotten so cheap?
02:00 <Schism> Ali: Better yet, these are the ones that are the size of your pinky nail.
02:01 <Ali> Last I remembered, and its been a long while now, those used to go for like $60
02:02 <Schism> A 128GB is only something like $28 CAD.
02:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2409 [ https://tinyurl.com/yyfxsb2b ]
02:05 <Ali> God I remember when it was almost $100 for those larger sticks
02:05 <Ali> I think I paid $20 for the 16GB stick that's hanging off the back of my computer.
02:11 <Schism> Sounds about right.
02:16 <Cepheid> The cost of the cards is dependent on two factors.
02:16 <Cepheid> The speed/class of the card, and the capacity.
02:17 <Cepheid> If you go for a Class 10 or UHS-I card, it'll be a bit more expensive.
02:17 <ADragonDreaming> per the packaging, these are "v10"
02:17 <Cepheid> Case in point, I got a 400GB UHS-I card in my Switch. That was about, mmm, $70 or so?
02:17 <Cepheid> V10 probably class 10, then.
02:17 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
02:18 <ADragonDreaming> "for all ... class 10 applications"
02:18 <Cepheid> Wait.
02:18 <Cepheid> Does it look like a U with a 10 inside of it?
02:18 <ADragonDreaming> No.
02:18 <Cepheid> Okay, so just class ten then.
02:19 <Cepheid> Class 10 is...
02:19 <ADragonDreaming> packaging has: "Full HD" a V10, a U with a 1 inside of it, and a C with a 10 inside of it.
02:19 <ADragonDreaming> and also a big roman numeral I.
02:19 <Cepheid> Oh.
02:19 <Cepheid> Right, I meant a I, not 10.
02:19 <Cepheid> It's UHS-I then.
02:19 <ADragonDreaming> it's this: https://www.verbatim.com/prod/memory-cards/premium-microsdxc/premium-microsdxc/
02:20 <Cepheid> Actually pretty impressive then to find a 64GB UHS-1 for such a low price.
02:20 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's UHS-I.
02:20 <Cepheid> So not a bad card.
02:20 <ADragonDreaming> It was half the price of a 32-GB Sandisk card. I didn't look hard at the specifics.
02:21 <Schism> $26 base price there, or $90 for a 256GB, not bad at all.
02:21 <Schism> So, more Switch storage, mainly?
02:21 <ADragonDreaming> Microcenter had the sticker price as $7.99, but it rang up for $6.50.
02:21 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
02:22 <ADragonDreaming> Also I needed it to transfer my data from the old one.
02:22 <Schism> Ah yes.
02:22 <ADragonDreaming> But I got two, so you get one too.
02:22 <Schism> Oh! Thank you -- I guess at that price it's not much of a hardship.
02:23 <ADragonDreaming> Indeed.
02:23 <Cepheid> Schism, if you're seeing $90 for a 256GB, you're getting ripped off.
02:23 <Schism> Oh, I was going by what Verbatim has on their online store. I'm sure it's much cheaper elsewhere.
02:23 <ADragonDreaming> At this point there is very little that would be a financial hardship for me, aside from the Big Things.
02:24 <Cepheid> https://amzn.to/3qAWDjH
02:24 <Cepheid> You can get SanDisk brand 512GB UHS-3 for slightly over $130.
02:25 <Cepheid> In fact, that exact card is what I use in my Switch, not the 400GB model.
02:25 <Schism> Interesting...!
02:25 <Cepheid> How's their 1T- Okay, $350. That's a bit much.
02:25 <ADragonDreaming> ...I can understand why, though.
02:25 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
02:25 <Cepheid> Extreme density.
02:26 <ADragonDreaming> That's my SSD on this computer in a thing the size of my fingernail.
02:27 <Cepheid> Eeeyup.

02:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
02:28 <ADragonDreaming> ...what the flip, nintendo.
02:29 <ADragonDreaming> "this card is being used with another nintendo switch console etc."
02:29 <ADragonDreaming> "to use it with this console the data must be deleted"
02:29 <Schism> Uh... yes, that's the point...
02:29 <ADragonDreaming> no. That's not the point.

02:29 <Schism> It should let you. :<

02:31 <Schism> Evidently there's a way to do so through wifi...? But you might have to redownload all the everything, as it might just copy saves and user data. Bleagh.
02:31 <Schism> s/copy/move
02:34 <ADragonDreaming> wtf is going on with the newer switch's battery
02:35 * Schism headtilts. @_@
02:38 * Ali sticks to 1.0 versions of the consoles, not a buggy.
02:39 <ADragonDreaming> suddenly it thinks its fully charged but after 30 seconds of running on battery power it complains of low battery?
02:40 <Schism> Sounds like it might be a good idea to totally drain it, then let it recharge overnight?
02:40 <Ali> And then it bricks~
02:41 <ADragonDreaming> ...well, see, that was what had happened before. It had fully drained
02:41 <ADragonDreaming> then I let it try to recharge overnight.
02:41 <Schism> Huh. That's worrisome.
02:41 <ADragonDreaming> that was apparently not successful, so I ahd concerns it might be the charger
02:41 <ADragonDreaming> so I let it charge on the other one, and that was apparently successful, but now it's doing this
02:43 <Cepheid> Let it discharge again completely, charge again.
02:45 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, that's what i'm finding.
02:45 <ADragonDreaming> This is dumb.
02:45 <ADragonDreaming> anyway, we'll see what happens.
02:45 <ADragonDreaming> As it turns out, my save data was backed up to the cloud anyway
02:46 <Schism> That, at least, is good.
02:46 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah, I heard that data transfers are a royal ***** to do with Switches.
02:46 <Cepheid> For some inexplicable reason.
02:48 <ADragonDreaming> well, despite the indicator saying it will go to sleep very soon, it has been 5 minutes or so on the "no battery!" indicator without it going to sleep.
02:48 <ADragonDreaming> which suggests a bug in their battery monitoring software.
02:48 <ADragonDreaming> Based on their recommendations, the full discharge, full charge cycles retrain that indicator. Which makes me wonder ... did they use self-learning software or something?
02:49 <ADragonDreaming> (I jest. Maybe it's an issue that happens with whatever senses the charge level.)
02:49 <Schism> It's been a long-time fix for pretty much any portable device and battery sensor drift.
03:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Ambient Album: Noizzer - Untitled [Ambient/Drone] [ https://tinyurl.com/y3ts259o ]
03:06 <ADragonDreaming> well, since it's evidently only an annoying problem with the battery indicator, and not the battery itself...
03:06 * ADragonDreaming initializes the old switch.
03:10 <PinkieShy> Ugh.. out of Epsom salt.. Forgot to buy more..
03:10 <PinkieShy> Hopefully soapy water just as good for what i need the salt for..
03:13 <ADragonDreaming> hum. I apparently have misplaced the old HDMI cord.
03:14 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: Any portable device with a battery makes use of a training system for determining battery charge level, even laptops. It's just not usually noticeable.
03:21 <ADragonDreaming> Schism: you'll need to supply your own HDMI cord for TV play, if that's a concern. Everything else I have located and will be sending on through.
03:21 <Cepheid> Apparently though, this training can be lost over time if the Switch itself has not been charged recently within say, the last six months.
03:22 <Schism> I daresay I have an HDMI cable or two floating around. And thank you! I'd keep that old one around though until you're totally sure the battery issue on the new has been fixed.
03:22 <Schism> Or at least explained.
03:23 <ADragonDreaming> Aye. I've initialized it, but I suppose I can retransfer data over as needed.
03:23 * Schism nodnods. "Better that then sending the old off and then, an hour later, going 'wait, crap.'
03:24 <ADragonDreaming> not like I can send it tonight, anyway.
03:24 <ADragonDreaming> its after 10 pm.
03:25 <Schism> Ah, so it is. Hum.
03:27 <Cepheid> ... I just realized I forgot to take my meds today.
03:31 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, in other fun news, apparently my current glasses prescription is way off.
03:33 <Cepheid> So the ~$500 I paid a year and a two months ago approximately, are no good.
03:33 <Schism> Aughlnf.
03:43 <ADragonDreaming> Ouch
03:44 * Schism sigh. "No, NYT. Joe Bidon's Peloton is not more of a cybersecurity threat than leaving 45 alone in a room with an unsecured cell phone for five minutes."
03:50 <Cepheid> Honestly they're going to have to chain 45 to the ground.
03:50 <Cepheid> The moment he's out, he's going to try and escape the country to avoid prosecution, and he's not gonna keep his mouth shut in other countries.
03:51 <Schism> Knowing his penchant for making decisions which are ultimately self-destructive, he would probably pick a country with a really GOOD extradition treaty.
03:52 <Cepheid> I see him going to Russia.
03:53 <Schism> I can't imagine that Russia has too many golf courses.
03:53 <Schism> Ah, my apologies. It turns out that they do.
03:54 <Cepheid> The issue isn't the golf courses, it's that he has a really great friend there.
03:54 <Schism> Ostensibly, at least. The Wikipedia article reads like it was written by the head of state.
03:54 <Cepheid> Who will probably set him up with a very nice house.
03:54 <Cepheid> ... Filled with a bunch of hidden cameras.
03:54 <Schism> I think there was something about a tape, but looking back, that might have just been... yellow journalism.
03:59 * Ali changes the date to Thursday just to get it all over and done with. Is done with the MSM
04:02 <Cepheid> Nothing more hilarious than watching bobs inserters modified stack inserters work to move contents of one bin to another.
04:03 * Cepheid records a clip, uploads it, will link when the upload is finished.
04:04 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/SArWjqQ
04:05 <Schism> That is rather fun. Reminds me of the old Peasant Railgun from D&D.
04:05 <Cepheid> Heh.
04:05 <Cepheid> This modpack is insane.
04:05 <Cepheid> Exploration of space, and sure, that sounds fun. Until you see the requirements to make space science.
04:05 <Cepheid> It's maddening.
04:06 <Cepheid> As for those bins, they're to hold 2,000 artillery shells for Razor's train.
04:07 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/sFti0fo.png And then there's this. No bugs on this planet, so we're just going hog-wild with pollution.
04:08 <Cepheid> ... Hum. How cute, my body felt sick today to force me to sleep, and now my sleep cycle is back "on track"
04:08 <Cepheid> With the messed up cycle that is.
04:22 <Cepheid> Tomorrow's programming... Gonna work on some UI stuff.
04:35 <ADragonDreaming> so Rise features full voicework for player-character hunters. As in, words. Not just grunts and wordless yells.
04:39 <Cepheid> Yes.
04:39 <Cepheid> You can disable it, if desired.
04:41 * Schism yawns. "I'm looking forward to the 3rd through the 11th of February."
04:42 <Schism> I decided that I've been sitting on enough vacation pay for long enough that I can burn a week.
04:43 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1351439252891045889 I home we get to capture these things and keep them as pets.

Also, I requested the vacation time right after the shift bid was finalized, so I get dibs.
05:35 <Tirek> This is how they get you
05:35 <Tirek> Corporations are just professionally sanctioned abusive relationships, confirmed
05:36 * Ali sits on Schism and Tirek
05:36 <Schism> Hey, I'm not going to argue the point.
05:37 <Tirek> I question how you're so large that you can sit on the both of us
05:37 <Schism> She's been learning from her cats.
05:37 <Tirek> Ah, yes. Feline powers
05:37 <Schism> Ponies are at least 20% feline by weight, after all. Just look at Rarity.
05:38 <Tirek> Anyway, you're right, re: the ping from two days ago.
05:38 <Tirek> Abigail is still the best girl
05:38 * Schism nods sagely.
05:38 <Tirek> Are you enjoying the new update?
05:39 <Schism> Haven't been playing it. Work's been ... not hectic, but by the time I'm done with the day I just want to shut off my brain. Come the 25th I'll have a little bit more free time in the evenings, which will hopefully inspire either some creativity or a little less 'blurgh, wanna turn off the brain'.
05:40 <Schism> Or at least some little bit less repetition.
05:43 <Schism> Hm. I'd missed that the lead developer of Celeste broke their eggshell and came out as trans/NB. I knew that Lena Raine had long been publicly so, but Maddy Thorson came as... not a surprise, but a 'huh' moment.
05:51 * Schism dashes back and forth between two screens, refreshing her double jump every single time.
05:53 <Tirek> Strife (of Freedom Planet) also recently came out.
05:55 <Schism> Hm. It's almost like there's something about a fundamentally creative and explorative style of expression which leads people, given the right context, to ask questions about themselves and possibly re-evaluate things.
05:56 <Schism> Also, she looks awesome.
05:56 * Ali tried the beach farm, is not a fan
05:57 <Ali> Is it really worth the cost of having no sprinklers for random stuff to wash up onshore?
05:58 <Schism> Don't forget you get ocean fishing right there.
05:58 <Schism> That can be really beneficial, especially at the start.
05:58 <Ali> Yeah during Spring 1 its ok
05:59 <Ali> But the moment you can start fishing at the mountain spot the ocean is pretty much dead
06:06 <Finwe> Morning, everypony.
06:07 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Angeline and Schism, Mr Tirek.
06:07 * Angeline snoozes.
06:07 * Finwe doffs his hat.
06:10 * Ali scoops up Angeline and brushies
06:27 <Tirek> Hey there
06:28 <Tirek> I'm having some of my home made cider now
06:28 <Tirek> Made 5 gallons of the stuff, and its almost gone now.
06:31 <Schism> Huh. Didn't know that Rick Astley was still producing music. And... doing a good job of it. Also, Tirek, how? I thought you had tons left last we spoke.
06:36 <Tirek> I drank a lot.
06:36 <Schism> Clearly. Ah well, that's what it's there for. And I would, admittedly, be tempted to get a cider press and make some of my own.
06:37 <Tirek> For the record, its hard cider.
06:38 <Tirek> I gave some away to friends, too.
06:38 <Tirek> Well, old high school friends, anyway
06:38 <Finwe> That's the only thing you get to call cider arond here.
06:38 <Tirek> Yeah, I know.
06:38 <Tirek> In the states, apple cider is just unfiltered apple juice.
06:38 <Tirek> Which is what I used to make my hard cider
06:39 <Finwe> Do you press the apples yourself?
06:39 <Schism> Well, yes. You get a carboy and an airlock, sterilize and pasteurize the juice after squeezing (if you don't want the random bacteria to set in), set much of it aside, add some yeast to the last gallon, activate the yeast, let it continue, pour the other four gallons or so in there, and then you let it brew for two weeks before freezing the excess water off.
06:39 <Tirek> No, I just bought it from the store.
06:39 <Schism> (And add a bunch of sugar along the way.)
06:39 <Tirek> Skip that last step
06:39 <Schism> Very important, freezing off the extra water. >.>
06:40 <Tirek> Yes, but it is very illegal
06:40 <Tirek> I don't have a distiller's license.
06:40 <Tirek> And the law is very clear about the process rather than the method.
06:40 <Schism> Ah, right. I don't think there are any licensing issues up north here unless you intend to actually market the product, but it would probably behoove me to check before I went and made 80-proof applejack.
06:41 <Tirek> Ha
06:41 <Finwe> BrewDog made a beer with 57 vol-% alcohol.
06:41 <Schism> I should also check up on safety because I'd rather not blow up the apartment. My landlord would be ... irate.
06:42 <Tirek> So, the law in my state specifically says I can't make more than 200 gallons of alcohol. I need a license to sell (which is something like $10,000), and I'd need an actual brewery.
06:42 <Tirek> Which, includes owning property and such.
06:42 <Schism> If I were of a more antiauthoritarian bent, I might suggest the purpose of that is to keep distilleries limited to those who have money to throw around.
06:43 <Finwe> We get to make fermented drinks for our own use and for being served to guests.
06:43 <Tirek> Ye
06:43 <Finwe> Anything else requires licence.
06:43 * Schism nodnods.
06:43 <Tirek> Same here.
06:44 <Finwe> A couple of years ago there were still some limits on what to ferment. Just adding yeast to a mixture of sugar and water wasn't allowed, for example.
06:45 <Schism> Hmm.
06:45 <Finwe> The greatest part of fermentable sugar had to come from grain or fruits.
06:46 <Tirek> Ah, huh
06:46 <Tirek> A majority of the fermentable sugar was from honey, at least in my cider.
06:46 <Tirek> 10 pounds of honey.
06:46 <Schism> Ontario limits the operation of a home distillery. Wine and beer are allowed, and I don't know if there's a 14% limitation. And is sticking a carboy of apple cider out in -4C weather, waiting for it to freeze, then draining off the non-frozen substance really distilling?
06:47 <Schism> (Obviously it is, but is it a distillery?)
06:47 <Tirek> No, not really. But again, my state has laws against ALL distilling, including freeze distilation.
06:48 <Schism> Hm, excise act. So it's less about the process, and more about sales.
06:48 <Tirek> I don't know what the limit is on the alcohol content from just brewing, but I know some yeast strains, if well cared for, can get you up to 18% abv
06:48 <Tirek> My cider is 15%
06:49 <Tirek> It'll knock you on your plot.
06:49 * Ali refuses to drink!
06:50 <Tirek> Especially when I typically drink a whole bottle (500ml)
06:50 <Tirek> Understandable, and your choice is valid.
06:50 * Schism noses a cup of strong tea over to Ali.
06:50 <Tirek> I didn't want to drink, neither, but then I started watching alcohol brewing videos on youtube and was like "Well, it looks fun."
06:50 <Ali> I just don't due to a double addiction risk
06:51 <Tirek> So, uh, I only get high off of my own supply. I won't buy alcohol, I'll only make it
06:51 <Tirek> Yeah, fair
06:51 <Schism> More than reasonable.
06:51 * Schism also noses a plate of strawberry-rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream over to Ali. Because that's much safer to get addicted to.
06:51 <Tirek> And I only have one 5 gallon bucket and one 5 gallon carboy, so I can only ever make 10 gallons a year.
06:52 <Tirek> Assuming I even get the materials I need to start.
06:53 <Tirek> I did buy another 10 pack of lalvin 79-b yeast for a mixed berry wine my sister wants me to make for her.
06:53 <Tirek> I'll probably give her 6 bottls out of it.
06:53 <Finwe> Ali: You'll get dehydrated if you don't drink.
06:53 <Finwe> Unless you receive intravenous liquid, of course.
06:54 <Tirek> She absorbs the necessary water through osmosis, its fine.
06:54 * Ali boops Finwe
06:54 * Finwe scrunchymuzzles.
06:56 <Tirek> I still need to try and make something I like the taste of.
06:57 <Tirek> I've been told by others that my cider is a 6/10. I don't like it at all, but I've begun to enjoy the feeling of being inebriated.
06:57 <Tirek> Is this the definition of addiction?
06:57 <Finwe> Tirek: We have two 110 litres cylindro-conical fermentors at the university brewing society, as well as a multitude of 30-litre plastic fermentors.
06:57 <Tirek> Neat
06:57 <Tirek> What is your brewing society making lately?
06:57 <Tirek> I'm down to get some recipes to try at home.
06:58 <Finwe> My latest batch was a Christmas stout.
06:59 <Finwe> The latest batch in general seems to be a smoky india pale ale.
07:00 <Finwe> 11 days ago.
07:00 <Tirek> Ah, hmm.
07:00 <Tirek> I don't think I wanna make beer.
07:00 <Tirek> But I do want to try a stout at some point.
07:00 <Finwe> COVID has had a negative impact on activity.
07:01 <Tirek> Of course.
07:02 <Finwe> There is no contact teaching at the moment, and we only get to visit the university in pressing business.
07:02 <Finwe> Which means that the whole math department stays home because we do not have any reason to be there.
07:03 <Finwe> The physicists at least have their research equipment there that need to be attended to every now and then.
07:05 * Ali is annoyed that covid is still a topic
07:05 <Ali> But I'll keep my little mouth shut, don't like getting yelled at.
07:06 <Finwe> I suspect it's going to be a topic for a couple of months still.
07:06 <Finwe> Until we have the vaccination programmes up and going.
07:11 <Finwe> Tirek: One beer designed by me has even been accepted for commercial production by a local microbrewery.
07:11 <Finwe> https://untappd.com/b/panimoravintola-beer-hunter-s-nams-saison/4083159
07:13 <Finwe> A friend of mine works for a tomato farm and they had been wondering whether you could brew a tomato beer. He asked if I could design a recipe and brew a sample batch, which I did.
07:13 <Finwe> They then introduced it to this microbrewery who obviously found it quite convincing.

07:27 <Tirek> Oh, hey, nice Finwe. Congrats on becoming a local booze celebrity
07:27 <Tirek> Or whatever that maty entail
07:27 <Finwe> :D
07:28 <Tirek> American pilsners are trash, so I don't know what a proper beer is supposed to taste like
07:28 <Tirek> Of course, this is also partially because I don't drin k any alcohol I don't produce.
07:28 <Tirek> I'm sure you can tell, now, I'm a little durnk
07:28 <Finwe> I was promised a crate of the beer, and they paid for the ingredients and presented me a bottle of single malt Scotch whisky as I didn't ask for any other recompense.
07:29 <Tirek> That's very nice of them.
07:29 <Tirek> Congrats.
07:29 <Finwe> I'm still to receive the beer and the whisky, though, because of COVID.
07:29 <Tirek> Of course.
07:33 <Schism> Tirek: In what part of the country are you located? Just generally.
07:34 <Schism> Pilsners are absolute crap, and you're quite right. But there are some localish brews which are actually quite palatable, if you so choose in the future to try them. Amongst those are Anchor Steam, as well as some darker brews made by a brand you might appreciate: Arrogant Bastard.
07:36 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-98m470.irccloud.com)
07:36 <Tirek> I live in Pennsylvania.
07:36 <Schism> The latter is more of a general brand -- ah, alright.
07:36 <Tirek> That's specific enough to get a region, but vague enough that you have no idea where I am
07:36 <Finwe> Good pilsners are quite good.
07:37 <Schism> I fear that it's been some years since I've been in Ohio, myself -- and true, sometimes they can be at least decent. Most mass-brewed pilsners are... not.
07:37 <Finwe> Like Pilsner Urquell from Czech Republik, and many German pilsners.
07:37 <Schism> While comparatively mid-market, you might like some of the products from Great Lakes Brewery. I believe you're close enough to see some of their beers there.
07:37 <Finwe> Many of them are of course not exported.
07:38 <Tirek> Stuff like Miller, Budweiser, and such are all pilsners
07:38 <Schism> And, of course, the worst of the worst, Pabst Blue Ribbon.
07:38 <Finwe> I'd just call them general lagers.
07:39 <Finwe> Ah, "American-style Pilsner".
07:40 <Finwe> I see.
07:40 <Schism> A sop and a definite insult to those American brewers who have produced fine works, but such is the way the market goes.
07:41 <Finwe> Low-alcohol beer has been called pilsner in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
07:41 <Ali> What do you expect from murica
07:41 <Finwe> Not anymore, though.
07:41 <Ali> Make a piss product, sucker people to buy it, ??????, profit
07:41 <Schism> Ali: There are some excellent brewers within the States. :< It's just that most people buy crap beer for the sole purpose of getting drunk.
07:42 <Ali> Yet they still pay $20 a case for it
07:42 <Schism> Not that we have much to speak of here. Looking at you, Labatt.
07:42 <Ali> Or like 7 bucks or more at a sporting event
07:42 <Ali> I wouldn't know, I'm no expert on it, but I refuse to money sink into such a worthless product
07:43 <Ali> I mean, I feel stupid enough buying bottled water when you can get it on tap at home. I understand its not the same but still.
07:44 * Schism shrugs. "Thankfully, every time I wander into the Beer Store, the cases of Labatt are sitting on the shelf collecting dust, while things like Guinness, or like really good IPAs, or other excellent stouts, have some sign of being purchased. Of course, people still buy Stella Artois, because branding obviously overrides taste.""
07:44 <Finwe> Schism: Labatt is part of the Anheuser-Busch InBev group. o3o
07:45 <Schism> Yeah, that makes sense. It's Canadian Budweiser.
07:47 <Schism> Tirek: Arrogant Bastard Ale (from Stone Brewery) seems the sort of thing you might appreciate, especially things like this takedown. https://www.stonebrewing.com/blog/philosophy/2019/response-portman-group#ageGatePassed
07:48 <Schism> While their diatribe is certainly not indicative of the quality of their beers, I can state outright that they're all pretty darned good.
07:52 <Finwe> Oak Aged Yeti from Great Divide is rather good imperial stout.
07:52 * Golden flops.
07:53 <Schism> Hmm, have to see if I can find that one up here at some point.
07:53 <Finwe> Mr Golden.
07:53 * Finwe doffs his hat.
07:53 <Schism> I do love an Imperial Stout, and Stone's had a very rich flavour of chocolate and coffee.
07:53 <Finwe> https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/great-divide-yeti-imperial-stout-oak-aged/37652/
07:54 <Schism> Yes, that's the page I'm looking at. o3o
07:54 <Finwe> Oh, I haven't written a review.
07:54 <Tirek> Sorry, I got distracted. I am easily distracted when sober, so you can imagine how much more so when I'm not.
07:55 <Schism> No worries. I'm about to try and get what little sleep I can.
07:55 <Golden> Hey
07:55 * Ali distracts Tirek with a prismatic shard
07:55 <Tirek> Ali, please, you don't want to court me
07:55 <Tirek> I have a girlfriend
07:55 * Schism will chase after Maru, the second best girl.
07:56 <Tirek> Maru is pretty okay, ye
07:56 * Ali says screw the marrage and stays single....forever alone...
07:56 <Finwe> Oh, I've rated the normal version of Yeti.
07:56 <Finwe> o3o
07:56 <Tirek> I haven't had beer in, uh
07:56 <Tirek> 11 years
07:56 <Tirek> 12 years
07:56 <Finwe> Alas, my love, you do me wrong to cast me off discourteously.
07:57 <Tirek> Sorry, I got a beautiful girlfriend to dote on
07:57 <Finwe> I can actually play the melody.
07:57 * Finwe takes his flute.
07:57 * Ali jellies
07:58 <Tirek> If you told me that I would be dating a trans girl a decade ago, I'd probably have a heart attack. I';m glad I've become more tolerant of people
07:58 <Tirek> And she's done a hell of a lot to make herself appear feminine.
07:58 <Tirek> I'm happy for her
07:59 <Schism> Hee. That's awesome, for the both of you.
07:59 <Tirek> Sorry if I get a little sappy. This is how I act when I'm drunk.
07:59 <Tirek> Thank you, I appreciate your well-wishes.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> And hello everypony.
08:00 <Finwe> That's the song I meant.
08:00 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
08:00 <Tirek> I am drunk off my own cider.
08:01 <Tirek> How have you bene>?
08:01 <Tirek> Been, even
08:01 <Tirek> Also, Schism, I hope you're making things work for your transition, good luck my gal.
08:01 <ConfusionRift> Oooh, I see. Me? The usual work pain. Just got home, and am about to lay my feet down and take it easy.
08:02 <ConfusionRift> Also keeping for fort, just in case.
08:02 <Schism> Tirek: Thank you! Alas, no movement in terms of HRT, but it's coming along. Also, it always helps to think of transition as less 'making me feel more masculine/feminine', and more 'making me feel like myself.'
08:02 <Tirek> Yes, of course.
08:03 <Tirek> I've met so many trans people, and
08:03 <Tirek> A decade ago, I was kinda embittered about the idea.
08:03 <Tirek> Like, uh, being able to cope with what you got
08:03 <Tirek> Now I just want people to be happy and do what they need to do to be happy with themselves
08:04 <Tirek> I had a lot of growing up that occured over the past 10 years
08:04 <Tirek> So, good luck with whatever you need to do to be your best self, okay?
08:04 <Schism> Speaking as someone who just recently realized what it meant, I certainly can't blame you for past impressions.
08:04 <Tirek> Be your best self, I have faith in you
08:05 <Schism> And isn't that all we can do? And of course, be excellent to one another, dudes and dudettes.
08:05 <Tirek> Of course
08:05 <Tirek> I told you get eally sappy when I'm drunk
08:05 <Tirek> But ,yeay
08:05 <Ali> And here comes the typos~
08:05 <Tirek> I love you all, do what you need to do to be happy
08:06 <Schism> Hey, no harm in a quote there. And yup, love you too. :>
08:06 <Ali> Go Tirek drunk you're home
08:06 <Tirek> As long as you don't hurt other people, and you keep yojurself from hurting yourself
08:06 <Finwe> I'm going to do something that doesn't necessarily make me happy.
08:06 <Tirek> Ali, please, I am home, and I'm going to be sappy
08:06 * Ali is being a teasing ass
08:06 <Tirek> Take care of yourself, I'm going to hug you
08:06 <Finwe> Viz., partake of a Zoom session.
08:06 * Tirek hugs ali
08:07 * Ali squeaks and flails softly, never expected a hug from this person
08:07 <Ali> What's next? Heartbreak not freaking out if I lick them?
08:07 <Finwe> Docent Honkapohja from Bank of Finland presiding.
08:07 <Tirek> I would never hug when I'm sober, so, yeah, you have every right to flail
08:07 * Ali doubts that a lot
08:07 <Tirek> I'm just a really sappy and emotional person when I';ve had too much to drink.
08:07 <Tirek> Please don't be mad at me
08:08 <Ali> I'm not
08:08 <Tirek> I think you're all kinds of specuial, even if you don't
08:08 <Tirek> I've had a lot of fun in this chatrpoom since I joined, y'know
08:08 * Ali deffo never felt special
08:08 <Tirek> A ndf I'm happy to have met all of you
08:09 <Ali> I mean hell, I feel empty even though I've 100%'d Mega Man 11 on two platforms
08:09 <Finwe> :D
08:09 <Schism> Worry not, Tirek. First off, we'll be saving this conversation for posterity. Second, we do definitely love you too. And third, we would probably be more concerned if HB started hugging people under the effects of some kind of weird beverage.
08:09 <Tirek> I know I don';t always pay atrteniton to this server, but I want you all to know, I love you all

08:10 <Tirek> So, thanks for putting up with me since 2012
08:11 <Finwe> I was also the first person ever to commandeer a Finnish armoured vehicle aboard a British warship.
08:12 <Tirek> Congrats!
08:12 <Tirek> I dunno if you're sarcastic or not, buit congrats anyway

08:26 <Tirek> But I apologise for being drunk in here, I knw you want to have a family friendly atmosphere
08:26 <ConfusionRift> Pfftt, not much happens here as of late, especially at this time. It's all good. :P
08:27 <Tirek> Alrighty
08:27 <Tirek> I am still coherent enough not to vomit expletives, so that's good
08:27 <Tirek> But yeah, I like hanging around here, even if I don't do it often
08:28 <ConfusionRift> I do as well. It keeps me head off certain things.
08:30 <Tirek> I know your job is difficult, mentally
08:30 <Tirek> And I'm sorry to hear that
08:30 <Tirek> I hope you can get a better jb in the future
08:30 <Tirek> I reall heated hearing about how much your job sucked and wanted to help in whatever small way I could
08:30 <Tirek> Youre a cool dude and don't deserve being put in terrible situations
08:32 <ConfusionRift> No worries. I'll eventually find something better. Or at least do something else during the meantime, despite current times.
08:34 <Ali> Yeah retail is a crap job that is all stress and no reward.
08:34 <Tirek> Alright. I have faith in your abilities
08:35 * Ali wants to get back to playing MTG, has been out of it for almost a year now and missing so many sets makes it next to impossible to reenter
08:35 <Tirek> I haven't played mtg in a while
08:36 <Tirek> Maybe at some point we could play?
08:36 <Tirek> I dunno
08:36 <Tirek> Do you want to?
08:37 <Ali> Its not really possible, and I'm not going to touch Arena
08:37 <Tirek> There was aother website
08:37 <Ali> Or online... or any magic virtual site
08:37 <Tirek> I just can't remember right now what it was
08:37 <Tirek> Ah, fair
08:37 <Ali> I tried Arena
08:37 <Tirek> I would love to indulge you in the card game tough
08:38 <Ali> Its not fun for a free to play
08:38 <Tirek> Just because I think you're a cool gal and I liked spending time with you, years ago in minecraft
08:38 <Ali> And being out of it for over a year means your card base would be worse than a brand new player
08:38 <Tirek> I still want to teach you how to build better in minecraft
08:38 <Ali> Did we ever MC? I never really remember much
08:38 * ConfusionRift nods.
08:39 <Tirek> Oh yes, you, me, and I think poseyshy
08:39 <Ali> MC is just boring to me, I just dig straght down for diamonds and then.... well I don't know
08:39 <Tirek> And osmeone else I forget
08:39 <Tirek> This was over five years ago, though
08:39 <Tirek> And I mis playing minecraft with you guys
08:39 <ConfusionRift> i think it was modded, if I'm not wrong.
08:39 <Tirek> Ah, that's fair
08:39 <Ali> The last time I played MC with anyone on here specificially was back when it was like 1.5?
08:39 <Tirek> You're probably right
08:39 <Tirek> Yeahm sounds about right
08:40 <Tirek> I still miss it
08:40 <Ali> I've done a few things with newer versions, but I can't make anything cool.
08:40 <Tirek> Yeah, creativity is hard if you're not that sort of individual
08:40 <Ali> You can't build a big house, cause if you have just one block too dark you get a creeper and blows everything to crap.
08:40 <Tirek> But I still think I'd like to hang out with you in minecraft at any rate
08:41 <Tirek> I love minecraft multiplayer and I miss hanging out with you guys
08:41 <Ali> What is it? Like a torch every 10 or so tiles?
08:41 <ConfusionRift> Do you wanna build a snowmaaaaan? Never mind, I made a dirt houuuuuse. I can put everything, anything. I lie, it's just a bunch of cheeeests!
08:42 * Ali slides up to ConfusionRift. "What about mmmmmmbanana's?~" *shot*
08:43 <Tirek> Bananas are gr8 I wanna make banana wine at some point
08:44 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, a good ol' banana bread. Mmmm. It's been a while.
08:44 * Ali kicks Tirek over to Ginger Island
08:44 <Tirek> Whay
08:44 <Tirek> Why are you kicking me
08:44 <Tirek> Stop
08:44 <Tirek> Please I want to be your friend
08:45 <Ali> Its a thing for Stardew Valley dear
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Actually, banana wine doesn't sound too bad. Very curious.
08:45 <Finwe> Ali: One cross each, line on the left, you know how it goes.
08:45 <Ali> There's Banana trees in the game
08:45 <Ali> But they're only available post game on Ginger Island
08:45 <Ali> Thus the punt over there
08:45 <Tirek> Oh, Stardew Valley?
08:46 * Ali nods and boops Tirek
08:46 <Tirek> I don't know what the island is called, just that it exists
08:46 <Tirek> I see
08:46 <Tirek> Listen, in real life, I wanna make banana wine
08:46 <Tirek> But my next experiment is mixed berry
08:47 <Ali> I get cha
08:47 <Ali> But I'm saying that in Stardew you could probably make banana wine
08:47 <Finwe> R < y - c/(1-p)
08:47 <Finwe> Never charge too high interest. o3o
08:47 <Ali> The only thing that stinks is that its post game

08:50 * Finwe boops Ali with Bananarama.
08:53 * Ali bananarangs Finwe
08:53 <Finwe> o3o

17:57 <Schism> Every customer service position I've worked has That Customer. Wonder if I'm not unique there.
17:59 <LibrarianofHope> nope
17:59 <LibrarianofHope> its inherent with the job
18:12 <Cepheid> Indeed, that is an inherent trait of the job, you will encounter That Customer. It's guaranteed to the point that there are usually policies for handling such customers.
18:13 <Cepheid> Often policies that work in the customer's advantage, as it's often just too difficult for the company to handle them. And the frequency is low enough that the cost associated with just giving said customer what they want is sufficient.

20:49 * Angeline whinnies loudly.
20:49 <Ali> Cepheid, might be a bit late for the server but I learned something interesting while watching this guy do a Factorio Death World speed run. Apperently mines are really strong and can take out most biters in one to two hits with an unupgraded mine. Though at the point we'd be at, would be problematic as big spitters can one shot a bot. That and big/behemoths I don't know how it would work.
20:49 <Cepheid> tMmhmm.
20:49 * Ali scoops up Angeline and brushies her.
20:50 * Angeline snuggles into Ali!
20:51 * Ali squees and snuggles the little Angeline so much.
20:51 <Cepheid> Right now I'm artillery-ing the bugs.
20:51 <Ali> Bout the best you can do since they seem so dangerous
20:52 <Ali> And space science is quite the hurdle to get over.
20:52 <Cepheid> Was gonna leave it to Razor, but he didn't decide to use it today, and we need to grab more land.
20:52 <Cepheid> Oh gods, the space science.
20:52 <Cepheid> I've been working on that for a WEEK now.
20:52 <Ali> Yeeesh, why is that so bad?
20:55 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Angeline.
20:55 * Finwe doffs his hat.
20:55 <Cepheid> It was meant to lengthen the game considerably.
20:55 <Cepheid> Plus, I'm working towards a specific goal.
20:55 <Ali> And that is?
20:56 <Ali> I can try to take a look at space sci, since my poor butt should still be up there since I last took a look.

21:09 <Schism> Am I seriously the only one who understands how to test the bases of a system? Okay, "Is the system rejecting PO box addresses for billing?" Step 1, check to see WHERE it might be doing so. So I take a gift card with literally 15 cents and poke the system there, not enough to trigger a transaction, but enough to see if it'll cause problems.
21:10 <Schism> Voila, it's not.
21:13 <Schism> I guess this does require that you keep cards with a fundamentally small amount around for testing purposes, but for heavens' sake.
21:21 * Dappled horses at all of you.
21:24 * Angeline chews on Dappled's tail.
21:25 * Dappled tail swishes. Also boops an Angeline nose.
21:30 * Finwe ruffles Angeline and Dappled.
21:30 * Dappled pony PURRS
21:30 <Finwe> :3
21:33 * Dappled ordered Whataburger. Cause they have big burgers.
21:35 <Finwe> Like "Triple Meat Whataburger"?
21:36 * Dappled goes for double. Cause wants to be able to fit them in his mouth.
21:37 <Finwe> I cannot actually access the Whataburger website because it is a gaping security hole.
21:37 <Dappled> Sounds about right.
21:37 * Dappled uses third party delivery site.
21:38 <Finwe> "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified."
21:38 <Dappled> That sounds like fast food in general.
21:39 <LibrarianofHope> ok, now i feel so much better
21:39 <Finwe> !lullaby
21:39 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
21:40 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
21:40 <Finwe> !shoo
21:40 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
21:40 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
21:40 <LibrarianofHope> nightttt
22:08 * Angeline wants a quintuple quarter pounder, with extra extra large fries and a small juice.
22:11 * Dappled is terribly confused by smol juice.
22:14 <Dappled> there's too much salt in that meal to not need more drink to wash it down with.
22:14 <Dappled> extra extra large fries indeed.
22:19 * Dappled suffers from more kitty induced paralysis.
22:20 * Angeline eats her fries dammit.
22:21 <Dappled> Yes, but you need more than a smol juice for that amount of salt.
22:21 * Angeline eats her burger.
22:22 * Angeline then sips on her juice.
22:22 * Dappled pulls at his mane.
