00:01 <Cepheid> Now pilot in that ship... Do NOT get that ship destroyed.

00:01 <Cepheid> Though it shouldn't be hard to pull off, I even upgraded your shield to maximum, so..
00:03 <Cepheid> I really should start deploying advanced satellites.
00:12 <Cepheid> Logic dictates that I should start buying more scouts and sending them off on exploratory missions.
00:16 <Cepheid> Hum, of the factions I am aware of, which offer the fastest ships..?
00:21 <Schism> "Hey," says ScotiaBank. "We're gonna give you some complimentary life insurance and ADD." I ... okay?
00:22 <Schism> https://www.scotialifefinancial.com/en/homenew/life-insurance/scotialife-accidental-death-insurance.html - seriously, that's what they're doing now. Which, okay.
00:29 <LibrarianofHope> schism, who offered that?
00:30 <Schism> My bank. It's a comparatively small amount - $5,000 on accidental death - but every bit may help.
00:31 <LibrarianofHope> i would not reccomend it
00:31 <LibrarianofHope> how much is the premium?
00:31 <Schism> They've stated outright that it's complimentary and will not override my existing employer's plan.
00:31 <LibrarianofHope> its free?
00:32 <Schism> Just, you know, "keep doing business with us." Yup.
00:32 <LibrarianofHope> so its free?
00:32 <Schism> Well, inasmuch as I still have to have a bank account.
00:32 <Schism> No cost there.
00:32 <LibrarianofHope> you should reallllly read the thing carefully
00:33 <LibrarianofHope> its not even a life policy
00:33 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)
00:33 <LibrarianofHope> accidental death is very specific
00:33 <Schism> I am reasonable enough to understand the difference between life insurance, health insurance, and ADD. Even if it only covers specific cases, like getting run over by a passing spaceship, it doesn't hurt to have.
00:34 <LibrarianofHope> i wouldnt dare question your reasonabless
00:34 <LibrarianofHope> but remember i am an isnurance agent, i can help ya a bit
00:35 <Schism> I should be more clear. It won't suddenly jump up to a $50/month plan, though they're going to ask me to renew after the five years.
00:35 <LibrarianofHope> still, check the thing for loopholes
00:35 <Schism> Oh, absolutely. As well as what information they can and will provide to their patrons.
00:35 <LibrarianofHope> and overall banks are not very good in the insurance area
00:35 <LibrarianofHope> the service scuks
00:36 <LibrarianofHope> in theory you would be better off taking a life policy on something like AXA
00:36 <LibrarianofHope> i guess Canada has an Axa branca
00:36 <LibrarianofHope> branch
00:36 <Schism> I have no doubt about that -- and insurance companies always hate to pay out. Well, if I'm dead, I won't be passing any QA notes about the service quality. And I already have a comprehensive policy with Manulife through my employer.
00:37 <LibrarianofHope> seems fine then.
00:38 <Schism> For what it's worth, this particular payout is through Chubb Insurance.
00:38 <LibrarianofHope> known them, they are bad
00:38 <LibrarianofHope> as in "im going to make paying you a nightmare bad"
00:39 <Schism> Well, yes.
00:39 <Schism> I'm sure it'll be like pulling teeth if I die in the next five years, but as I have no plans to punch my ticket anyway, might as well have my life on those books.
00:40 <LibrarianofHope> owo
00:40 <Cepheid> Researcher wants me to fly into an unknown tear in space and arrive somewhere. Sure, why not?
00:41 <Schism> Remember to bring a fuel scoop or two and a few books for the flight back.
00:44 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:45 <Cepheid> Fortunately this one just led to a region I already mapped out.
00:47 <Cepheid> Unfortunately I did not bring along Satellites or resource probes like it wants me to deploy. Hey, ship of mine out there, c'mere.

13:45 <RazorSharpFang> Dappled, there are large multinational conglomerates that are liable to go bankrupt right now.
13:46 * Dappled fully expects gov't bailouts before these people actually see consquences for their actions.
13:47 <Dappled> And if they hadn't been greedy about it in the first place, risking that money on a company going under, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
13:51 <Dappled> Don't get me wrong, I don't want the average worker to be punished for this, but deliberately driving a business under faster to make a quick buck is completely immoral.
13:53 <RazorSharpFang> They bought a stock.
13:53 <RazorSharpFang> That's what they did. Is that immoral?
13:54 <Dappled> Shorting the stock was immoral.
13:54 <RazorSharpFang> Now consider what the other side did: They, being financial experts in the field: Took unlimited risk positions, did not hedge their position, doubled down on their positions, did not set stop-loss orders, refused to close their position for a loss, until they exploded and financially died.
13:55 <Dappled> Where the way your trying to earn money is betting that the stock price is going to go down. Simply buying the stock is not wrong, but that alone wouldn't have made them lose money when a bunch of others also bought stock.
13:55 <RazorSharpFang> They shorted 140% of the stock.
13:55 <RazorSharpFang> They shorted more stock than stock exists. That's why this happened.
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> But. Those firms going bankrupt is actually a problem. They as a clearing house did form a critical part of the financial infrastructure to ensure payment for shares sold. That's a problem.

13:58 <RazorSharpFang> It all sounds all well and good, until you sell your shares and then you don't get paid.

14:09 <RazorSharpFang> I have figured out why brokerages will let you sell but not buy.
14:09 <RazorSharpFang> To buy right now, the brokerage would have to front-up 100% of the share valuation to the clearing house as collateral for the trade. They don't have enough capital for all of those trades right now.
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> For the sell, they put up the share as collateral, which they have.
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> So they can sell, but not buy.
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> Which is also why the biggest banks could do regular trading, because they have huge amounts of liquidity and capital.

17:32 <Schism> Lunchtime...
17:32 * Schism makes herself a Western omelet. Shares some with LibrarianofHope.
17:37 <Finwe> What's in a Western omelette?
17:38 <Finwe> Eggs, I assume, and possibly some milk, but what else?
17:39 <Schism> Eggs, bit of milk, tomatoes, onions, peppers.
17:39 <Schism> Cheese too, of course.
17:42 <LibrarianofHope> western omelet owo

17:43 <LibrarianofHope> ok so, i paid my shamans and the anime priestess girl
17:43 <LibrarianofHope> i can pay some extra debts and save a bit
17:43 <Schism> Ham is also there too. Sadly, not in this one: we're bereft of ham at this time. But the rest is there!
17:43 <LibrarianofHope> owo
17:47 <Schism> Also, salsa picante.
17:48 <LibrarianofHope> thats a broad term
17:48 <LibrarianofHope> i feel like some salsa, hot enoug tp be blasphemy to serveral gods
17:49 <Schism> True. This stuff isn't: it's just a nice mild salsa for flavour.

21:45 *** Dappled|Sleep is now known as Dappled
21:46 * Dappled made the mistake of listening to the audiobook at work. Gaiaman's great but you got to be in the right mindset mentally for how dark he gets.
21:46 * Dappled then made the mistake of listening to Sandman after that.

22:06 * Dappled won't be hurt again!
22:07 <LibrarianofHope> sandman is that dark?
22:07 <LibrarianofHope> good omens is a masterpiece
22:07 <Schism> No, really! The first two are much more light-hearted. Anansi Boys has its darker moments, but it's all about Spider, the trickster deity, and his sons -- and Good Omens is laugh-out-loud funny.
22:07 <Dappled> Sandman is absolutely dark.
22:07 <LibrarianofHope> read Good Omens, trust me
22:07 * Schism goes on a bank run before it gets too late.
22:08 * Dappled was all like "Sandman's a DC property, it'll be fine to listen to at work.

22:09 * Schism leaves a cassette in the car for a fortnight, and it somehow transforms into a Best of Queen album.

23:00 * Schism blehs. Bank run complete.
23:01 <Finwe> Did you get your savings or were you too late?
23:01 <Starlight_Glimmer> They probably traded them for dodge coin.
23:02 <Schism> Oh, thankfully I was the only one this time. o3o
23:02 <Finwe> That's not much of a bank run, then.
23:03 <LibrarianofHope> i actually checked with my banker if this mess affects me
23:03 <LibrarianofHope> i have that as a side effect, weird story
23:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> Why would it?
23:03 <LibrarianofHope> meant to say mexico, but same difference

23:07 <Jackie_> They should really open source CMD
23:07 <Jackie_> Just like Powershell
23:08 <Starlight_Glimmer> But that's not really all that different any other day.
23:08 <Jackie_> I'd love to have bat files on wine
23:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Why? Why would anyone do that to themselves
23:09 <Finwe> Ah, now I get it. All cookbooks on shells have a tortoise or turtle on the cover.
23:09 <Finwe> How silly of me not to have noticed this before.
23:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> Finwe: I never considered reading a book on any of them
23:10 <Finwe> Although Python Cookbook does not have a snake on it, but a squirrel instead.
23:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean sure I'm not really great with PowerShell, but I use Windows like once a month.
23:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> Couldn't care less.
23:11 <Finwe> Indeed.
23:11 <Schism> And SQL has a frog on the cover.
23:11 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-qk3k7e.open.airstreamcomm.net)
23:11 <Finwe> I got it as part of a bundle of fifteen O'Reilly books.
23:12 <Schism> Well, the SQL Cookbook has a lizard.
23:12 <Finwe> From Android through bash, CSS, Docker and so on to Windows Powershell.
23:12 <Finwe> Schism: And PHP as well.
23:13 <Finwe> I'd say the PHP lizard is an iguana, and the SQL lizard could be a gecko.
23:13 * Starlight_Glimmer applies camels to Finwe
23:14 <Finwe> The camel book is not a cookbook, it's the Perl guide.
23:16 <Finwe> The one called Programming Perl. The Learning Perl book has a llama, an alpaca, a vicuña or a guanaco on it.
23:16 <Starlight_Glimmer> So obviously the next question: Which language is going to claim the pony?
23:16 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: Isn't there a programming language called Pony?
23:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> There might be!
23:17 <Finwe> https://www.ponylang.io/
23:17 <Finwe> Henceforth thou shalt write all your code in Pony.
23:17 <Finwe> o3o
23:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> There is a language called Squirrel!
23:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> And guess what the file extension of scripts is :3
23:19 * Ali wingdings on Starlight_Glimmer
23:19 <Finwe> .sql?
23:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> .nut!
23:20 <Jackie_> Is ponylang esoteric
23:20 * Schism noms some Combos.
23:20 <Jackie_> Starlight_Glimmer: OpenTTD uses Squirrel for scripting
23:21 <Finwe> Jackie_: No, it's a perfectly normal object-oriented language.
23:21 <Finwe> Still in development, though.
23:21 <PinkieShy> Got coffee this morning..
23:21 <PinkieShy> Wanted a mocha and McDonalds said they were out of that after I ordered it..
23:22 <Jackie_> Finwe: found it https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc
23:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean at least they didn't name it after a deteriorating process, looking at you Rust.
23:22 <PinkieShy> They offered me.. an iced coffee instead.. Told them I want something hot not cold being it was freezing this morning
23:22 <PinkieShy> like 28f
23:23 <Finwe> 'Tis -5°C here at the moment.
23:23 <PinkieShy> To make matters even worse on top of that..
23:23 <PinkieShy> McDonalds didn't have the heater on at all inside while i was ordering
23:23 * Starlight_Glimmer leaves Finwe with a book on HolyC
23:23 <Finwe> Whatever that is in °F.
23:23 <PinkieShy> They had the a/c on...
23:24 <Finwe> 9/5 x (32 - 5), maybe.
23:24 <PinkieShy> Finwe -5C is about 23F.
23:24 <Schism> May as well just say 32 - 9.
23:25 <Finwe> Ah, I got the parentheses wrong.
23:25 <Schism> (-5(9/5))+32.
23:25 <Finwe> -5 x 9/5 +32
23:25 <Finwe> And going the other way you need the parentheses.
23:26 <PinkieShy> Seriously though.. I don't understand why McDonalds had the a/c on lmao
23:26 <PinkieShy> At least they had the dining room shut down again.. There's a giant sign saying that local orders forced them to close it again
23:26 <Finwe> (32 - 5) x 5/9
23:26 * Cepheid flops in.
23:26 * Schism passes Cepheid a few pepperoni pizza Combos.
23:26 * Cepheid noms.
23:29 <Finwe> Sigh, °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9 <=> 9/5 °C + 32 = °F.
23:29 <Cepheid> Order of operations stuff, that's why.
23:29 <Finwe> That's what you get for not living in a country using silly units.
23:30 <Finwe> You forget how to convert to and from the silly units.
23:32 * PinkieShy headpats Finwe
23:39 * Cepheid is back on ArchLinux now. Huzzah.
23:39 <Cepheid> Xubuntu was nice, but I was having problems with it.
23:39 <Cepheid> In the form of "I couldn't get it to acknowledge my module parameter settings and it was having problems with screen locking on suspend."
