00:48 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/Rpj5YN3 Man, they are really digging for dirt here.

00:50 <Schism> It's ... kind of impressive how far they're reaching.

00:50 <Schism> Ugly and old?  I'm not a dog person, and that dog is beautiful.

00:51 <Schism> Also, looks mildly smug.

00:53 * Schism boops ADra with news of a CrossCode update in a few days.

01:01 *** Crimson_Ta1l is now known as Crimson_Tail

01:49 <Schism> Cepheid: https://twitter.com/ksonney/status/1363301258434641920

01:49 <Cepheid> Heh.  Cute.

01:49 <Schism> Lying atop his legs, of course.

01:56 <Cepheid> Gods damned lungs, function right please.

01:57 * Schism throws some chicken drumsticks at Cepheid.

01:58 * Cepheid refuses, has eaten enough today, stomach is actually a bit wonky too.

02:01 <Cepheid> Hum, looks like Rise is retaining the armor skill system from World.  Only applying the Old World UI to it.

02:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2441 [ https://tinyurl.com/yb2u56ge ]

02:03 <Cepheid> So we get the old-world skill table view in the status screen, which shows at a glance what pieces are providing points to a given skill, instead of the current World system which is clunky as hell.

02:10 <Schism> The skill view system definitely is... _lacking_.

02:21 <Cepheid> The old system basically displayed a grid, with equipment represented by columns, and skills represented by rows, with numbers in the grid indicating what each piece is contributing to a skill.

02:21 <Cepheid> Rise takes that and just applies the World system to it.

03:01 <Cepheid> I really should not have taken my seroquel now.  Oh well.

03:26 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-0u4.e9n.63.203.IP)

03:27 <RazorSharpFang> Hey heys

03:27 <Cepheid> Hey Sharp-fanged Razor.

03:30 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor

03:30 <Cyan_Spark> ((not investing today))

03:30 <RazorSharpFang> Futures trade 24/7. *takes physical delivery of 1000 barrels of crude oil*

03:32 <Cyan_Spark> oh dear

03:32 <Schism> Please tell me you're at least selling _put_ options on crude.

03:33 <RazorSharpFang> I do not trade in futures, ever.

03:33 <Schism> Good.

03:33 <RazorSharpFang> The only reason I would trade in futures, is if I needed the commodity and wanted a stable price for it (which is what futures were supposed to do)

03:37 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, did something happen to the server? The most recent changes I made weren't saved

03:38 <Cepheid> Unfortunately it crashed and we lost anywhere from 1 to 30 minutes of changes.

03:39 <Cepheid> Sorry about that.

03:41 * RazorSharpFang deploys 23k construction bots

03:44 * Ali thinks 23k worth of bots is too many.

03:46 <Cepheid> It certainly causes some problems, yes.

03:47 <RazorSharpFang> I'm just making up for lost time UwU

03:48 <Ali> I'm sure that is to the point with that and the bugs that I wouldn't be able to do anything

03:48 <RazorSharpFang> Well, it's only a matter of time until i can't keep up with the server either with my poor little i5-2400 CPU

03:49 <Ali> My motherboard is 15 years old, I dont' know how it can still even chug along when I was last on there.

03:52 <Cepheid> I'd normally argue in favor of explaining it away as "The server's doing most of the heavy lifting" but it's not.

03:52 <RazorSharpFang> Thinking about the texas power scenario, my thoughts put me in neither camp, probably. The grid itself (infrastructure) should be gov-owned, but the power generation can be private without issue. They would have service-level-agreements (SLAs) with the government.

03:53 <Cepheid> The server's just there to maintain synchronization.

03:53 <Cepheid> It uses maybe 1-2 kilobytes a second.

03:53 * RazorSharpFang promptly desyncs

03:53 <RazorSharpFang> The map download though, that's where it happens.

03:54 <Cepheid> It's also responsible for all that too, yeah.

04:05 * Ali finds that the server is far too ahead now that the pono feels like they can't offer much.

04:05 <Cepheid> Honestly I'm still lost in the madness myself.

04:05 <Ali> Well what stinks on that part is you need to be in space to work out all those effects

04:06 <Ali> Then you need to learn the loops and what not

04:07 <Ali> What gets me annoyed is that everything makes 1 less that what's needed to refire the things

04:07 <Ali> Need 100 water for more steam?  Shame you get 99 back

04:11 <Cepheid> Yeh, which creates problems.  That said, some fluids have techs that increase their efficiency so that you get 99.9 back instead of 99.

04:11 <Cepheid> Thermofluid is one such liquid.

04:12 <Ali> Still doesn't help refire it.  I mean it makes it so it needs less triggers to restart.

04:13 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

04:13 <Cepheid> The other thing that helps is some structures have larger-than-usual capacities.  Hypercoolers for example, hold 1000 liquid.

04:13 <Ali> But I barely touched the blue space sci and that shit makes my head hurt

04:14 <Cepheid> In any case, yes, the whole needing to restock fluid is a bit of a tricky problem.

04:14 <RazorSharpFang> You can use circuitry to fill up the fluid to 50% capacity and no more.

04:14 <Cepheid> Especially when certain fluids can't be barreled.

04:14 <Ali> Since you have to basically have three supercomputers going or the like to make the three cards

04:14 <Cepheid> I use circuitry yes, RazorSharpFang.

04:14 <Ali> I dunno a lot about space sciences

04:15 <Ali> never got enough scaffoldings to make an area large enough to experiment with a layout.

04:15 <Cepheid> Making the cards themselves are the least difficult problem.  It's the lead-up to them that's the problem.

04:15 <Ali> Well you can make the basic data cards on nauvis

04:15 <Cepheid> At least, the significant data cards anyways.

04:15 <Cepheid> Those cards are straightforward.

04:15 <Cepheid> Just slow to make.

04:16 <Cepheid> It's the other cards, the ones specific to each science, that's a pain in the arse.

04:16 <Cepheid> Of the four, astrometrics is the easiest to do, but takes up a lot of space.

04:18 <Ali> I get the space exploration, but I feel like you really don't do much in space

04:18 <Ali> I mean, has Razor even done anything off the main world :P

04:18 <Cepheid> He's done stuff on Fuji.

04:18 <RazorSharpFang> Well, given the amount of module slots that the space manufactory has, we will transition to space manufacturing before long.

04:19 <Cepheid> Nowadays he kinda just floats around on Nauvis expanding a grid or killing bugs with artillery.

04:24 <RazorSharpFang> One of these days I'll finish what I'm doing on Fuji.

04:27 * RazorSharpFang reads up on modern finance portfolio performance theory.

04:31 <RazorSharpFang> There's a surprising amount of calculus here

05:08 <RazorSharpFang> I wonder what throughput I'd get if I filled up a grid area with core drillers...

05:15 <RazorSharpFang> I think what we need is exactly the storage setup that we ran for coal, but for all materials.

06:44 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.

07:00 <RazorSharpFang> Sleep?

07:01 <ConfusionRift> Sleep is for... the weak... and... blargh... (flops) paiiin.

07:02 <ConfusionRift> I'm in that state of being too tired to do much, but not tired enough to crash out.

07:10 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe you should watch a youtube series.

07:13 * ConfusionRift looks over as he was watching a YouTube video. "...huh?" :P

07:20 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

07:30 <ConfusionRift> Just watching someone being dumb, is all. I know, very vague. :P

07:31 <RazorSharpFang> I like to watch things I'm interested in.

07:33 <ConfusionRift> I do too. I just sometimes deviate, for the sake of variety. Otherwise, I'll have the same exact videos on recommended for the longest time.

07:34 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, skewed deviation leads to having unwanted videos on recommended. So curiosity does... boop the cat.

07:34 <RazorSharpFang> Sometimes I'll watch like an hour of stock-options videos

07:38 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

07:41 <ConfusionRift> I sometimes watch project videos, computer builds, cars (it's been a while), gaming stuff, and other builds.

07:41 <Golden> Guess who now owns Persona 2

07:41 * Shadowed puts Red vs Blue Seasons 1-17 on repeat.

07:41 <Shadowed> Is it me?

07:41 <Shadowed> Did you buy me Persona 2?

07:42 * Shadowed doesn't think she'll understand the story since she didn't play Persona 1.

07:42 <Golden> ._.

07:42 <Shadowed> You did say to guess.

07:42 <Golden> I know

07:42 <ConfusionRift> I don't think they lore tied, but do have some things in common.

07:43 * Shadowed recently learned that they are in someway related to Shin Megami Tensei?

07:43 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

07:43 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-aj9mbi.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

07:44 <Golden> Persona is a spin off that started with SMT IF.

07:45 * Shadowed ponders grabbing 30XX.

07:46 <ConfusionRift> Right. The not-Mega Man game. :P

07:46 * Shadowed enjoys it.

07:47 * Shadowed could just continue Castlevania though... Gonna do that.

07:47 <ConfusionRift> Didn't say it was bad, and it does look like something I would play. Alas, Early Access worries me.

07:48 <Shadowed> It's not their first time running early access and 20XX turned out good IMO.

07:48 <ConfusionRift> Oh and it's a roguelike... so yeah.

07:48 <Shadowed> I mean it's not going to be Hades, but that's a rare gem.

07:49 <ConfusionRift> Let's say I have a few I'm not even close to finishing, and it does bother me.

07:52 <ConfusionRift> The procedural aspect and level editing kinda catch my interest.

07:53 <Shadowed> 20XX 's procedural was just set peices stuck together in different orders so far as level design went. Makes sense to open up making those set peices to the player base.

07:58 * Ali grabs Shadowed for snugs.

07:58 * Shadowed snugs the Ali.

08:07 * Shadowed made sure to name her summoned Fairies after this snuggable unicorn.

08:32 <RazorSharpFang> I'm finding myself wanting to use the Angels' clarifier and flare-tower to deal with these fluid overflows, but those don't exist. Sad! [ Factorio ]

08:35 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony.

08:36 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Filly_Nightmares and Schism; Messrs Golden and Shadowed.

08:36 * Finwe doffs his hat.

08:36 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

08:36 <Finwe> o7

08:36 * Filly_Nightmares blep!

08:36 <Ali> RazorSharpFang, that is one thing that is annoying about that mod

08:36 <Golden> Yo

08:36 * Finwe snuggles a Filly_Nightmares.

08:36 <Ali> It doesn't have a fluid burner

08:36 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:36 * Filly_Nightmares purrs and kneads Finwe

08:36 <RazorSharpFang> Ali, I legitimately want to pump this water back into the sea

08:37 <Ali> Trying to think what makes excess water

08:37 <Ali> Oh you're running core miners right?

08:37 <RazorSharpFang> Core drillers yeah

08:37 <Finwe> Burning hydrogen.

08:37 <Ali> Yeah that part is annoying

08:37 <Ali> cause it doesn't make enough water to really be used in anything

08:38 <RazorSharpFang> It's annoying to integrate that well into existing busses

08:39 <Ali> And little demands a ton of water

08:40 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

08:40 <ConfusionRift> There's gotta be a way to dispose of excess liquids, I'm sure.

08:40 <Ali> I know of only concrete that really needs it, outside of oil products and even that would need more water than what core mining would provide

08:40 <RazorSharpFang> So instead, you have to take in a variable amount from the sea - the difference between core production and demand.

08:40 <Ali> There might be a boiler that does

08:41 <Ali> The one that can be set to zero steam I think?

08:42 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Coal liquefaction, if there's too much water and coal and need oil."

08:42 * Shadowed belatedly explains that she is the Miss.

08:42 <ConfusionRift> I know it's modded, so the option is probably not there or worth it.

08:43 <Ali> ConfusionRift, coil liquidification needs no oil in the mod if I remember right

08:43 <ConfusionRift> It needs water and coal to create oils.

08:43 <RazorSharpFang> No, coal liquefaction requires SOME heavy oil to start.

08:44 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait... that changed?

08:44 * Finwe hats on Shadowed.

08:45 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-0u4.e9n.63.203.IP) (Connection closed)

08:45 * Shadowed styles.

08:45 <ConfusionRift> Never mind, scratch that, not working, unusable, remove.

08:49 <ConfusionRift> I guess that's another way. Use boilers and steam engines to power small sections of the area, or just have them powering batteries. I dunno. Logic eludes me.

08:49 <ConfusionRift> Oh... right. Disconnected.

08:49 * Ali gobed mare as well

08:50 * Ali grabs Shadowed and ConfusionRift and snugs on to pass out.

08:50 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-89e8rn.4nua.5fca.1702.2600.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

09:55 * Finwe hats on AppleDash.

10:36 * Golden flops.

10:38 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@smol.librarian.mare)

10:42 <Jackie> I feel like ending my own life because of how the pandemic changed my life forever. I feel so isolated without my cousins and my friends, being stressed at online classes but who the hell thinks it's a better idea to attend classes while we're still stressed at the pandemic, I also have my own problems in life, mostly financially. The people in my country still don't follow the health protocols thus the cases are still skyrocketing. I miss

10:42 <Jackie> enjoying life before 2019, period. I know I had some problems there, but at least I had more freedom than 2020 and beyond. I'm not saying that I don't want to disobey the health protocols, but feel rather

10:43 <Jackie> tired at life as a whole since 2020.

10:57 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, these couple of years have been an absolute mess. Would be nice to rollback, or for this pandemic to fall.

11:06 * Filly_Nightmares mew and uses Finwe as bed

11:09 * Filly_Nightmares shivers and uses ConfusionRift as a blankie too

11:17 * ConfusionRift is used as a blanket, and patpats Filly_Nightmares.

11:17 * Filly_Nightmares purrs and tucks her cold hoovesies into c

11:17 * Filly_Nightmares tucks her cold hoovesies into ConfusionRift floof!

11:20 * Schism is also cold. She shivers. "There's no hot water in the apartment... because my landlord is a jerkface who hasn't upgraded the heater in 40 years."

11:25 * Finwe offers some hot palak paneer to Schism.

11:25 * Schism noms, and offers Finwe some pancakes with marionberry jam, as well as hot pea soup.

11:27 <Finwe> o3o!

11:27 <Finwe> Although I still have some pea soup of my own.

11:28 <Finwe> It looks pretty much like I'm going to eat palak paneer and pea soup for the rest of the month.

11:28 <ConfusionRift> Schism: I know this is a bit... antiquated, but it's a bit of a temporary solution. If you have one of those large chili pots, you heat it on a stove till warm; not boiling though. Oh, and try not to fill it completely, or you're gonna have a bad time carrying that to the tub/shower.

11:28 <Finwe> Well, that's only a week, but still.

11:30 <Finwe> It's a strategically good move to live in a country where central heating is the modus operandi.

11:31 <Finwe> A friend of mine studied in Britain. The heating solutions there were rather interesting.

11:32 <Finwe> They only had a couple of radiators, and those were fitted with timers, so that you only could have thom on for a couple of hours at a time.

11:32 <Schism> Right now, I believe I'll simply be making some hot tea.

11:32 <ConfusionRift> We're talking of a rented space. It could either be the case of having some nice central heating and cooling, or just be absolute prey to whatever the weather decides to do.

11:33 <ConfusionRift> Shower in tea. :P

11:33 * Schism also shows off her socialist teeth.

11:33 <Finwe> Tower in Shea.

11:33 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait, no, that's be scolding hot.

11:33 <Finwe> *scalding

11:35 <Finwe> We've also invested in a language where there's a strong connection between writing and pronunciation.

11:35 <ConfusionRift> Scrablin. :P

11:35 <Finwe> o3o

11:37 <ConfusionRift> Alright alright, you're right. It is scalding. Scolding is something else.

11:37 <Finwe> What is it then?

11:38 <ConfusionRift> To hit or retaliate in anger?

11:38 <Finwe> https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scolding

11:39 <Finwe> Indeed.

11:39 * Shadowed had forgotten how much of a butt Saint Germain is in Curse of Darkness.

11:39 * Finwe scolds ConfusionRift.

11:39 * Shadowed glares at St. Germain for being a butt.

11:39 <ConfusionRift> More often is disciplinary- ouchies!

11:45 <Schism> Many countries are suffering under the scourge of socialist teeth.

11:47 <ConfusionRift> ...again? o_0

11:48 <Schism> Nah, I'm just looking back on old furry memes.

11:48 <Schism> And speaking of memes... this should be familiar to some of you.  https://twitter.com/3PSboyd/status/1363262973515419649/photo/1

11:48 <ConfusionRift> Ah, I thought someone was being a butt again. :P

11:50 * Shadowed hisses at the food pyramid. Only eats pizza now.

11:51 <ConfusionRift> Yep, that was the pyramid, it being backwards and all.

12:05 <ConfusionRift> Those cream cheese jalap-poppers were a bad idea.

12:06 * Shadowed prepares for an invasion from the Omicronians

12:08 <Schism> Jalapeno poppers are never a bad idea... o3o

12:09 <ConfusionRift> They're fighting back. ._.

12:09 * Schism passes ConfusionRift a big mug of tea.

12:11 * Finwe offers some bhut jolokia to ConfusionRift as a replacement for jalapeno.

12:16 * ConfusionRift searches that. "Huh, that looks like... HEY! Trying to be funny." :P

12:17 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I'm not into spicy stuff. They offered, I was curious, so I went for it. They were good, and not really that spicy. But a pepper is still a pepper.

12:17 <Schism> Well, sort of.  <.<

12:18 * Schism offers ConfusionRift some stuffed peppers with tomato sauce.

12:18 <Schism> Bell peppers have 0 capsaicin.  o3o

12:19 * ConfusionRift offers some bell peppers stuffed with some ground beef and mozzarella cheese on top.

12:19 <Schism> That is what these would be.  o3o

12:19 <Schism> Ground beef and rice.

12:19 <ConfusionRift> Close enough. :P

12:19 * ConfusionRift trades some then. :P

12:22 <Finwe> Schism: They originally did have something like 1000 Scoville or so.

12:22 <Schism> Cultivars undoubtedly vary.  And I imagine that to be palatable to a wider audience, bell peppers were bred to be sweeter and less spicy.

12:23 <Finwe> Precisely.

12:24 <Finwe> The function of capsaicin is to prevent mammals from eating the fruit, as birds are capable of spreading the seeds wider.

12:24 <Schism> Indeed, and less likely to digest the seeds.

12:24 * Shadowed glares at game for not telling you all the attack combos and guides for acting you should explicitly know all of them. "Just jump kick them." Okay, is that jump and then attack? Is that attack with a certain kind of weapon in mid air? No. I'm just an idiot and was supposed to press attack and jump

12:24 * Shadowed at /the same time/.

12:24 <Lumindia_> and then humans came along and decided "Hey, we like this!"

12:24 <Lumindia_> and made them hotter

12:24 <Schism> Ah, the gene which precludes capsaicinoids is a recessive one.

12:25 <Schism> Also tasty is of course paprika.  o3o

12:28 * Lumindia_ snugs Shadowed and Schism

12:28 <Lumindia_> yer both huggable

12:28 * Shadowed is huggable.

12:28 * Shadowed hugs.

12:28 * Lumindia_ offers pancakes

12:29 * Schism snugs back. And blerghs. She's reading a story of what it was like to work at the Trump Hotel, and what a horror story it is.

12:30 <Schism> I present for your consideration a picture which could go in the dictionary along the word 'yuppie'.  https://www.washingtonian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/21007_Trump_Hotel_0173.jpg

12:30 <Lumindia_> hahaha

12:30 <Lumindia_> my mom would always get me tiny little 20 ml things of tabasco sauce when she went travelling

12:30 <Lumindia_> just because of how cute and smol they were

12:31 <Schism> Well, it's not like one uses that much tabasco sauce anyway.  X3  But the bottle of Heinz ketchup would have to be opened at the table, in such a way that Mr. Orange could hear the 'pop' of the seal.

13:01 * Shadowed go bed horse.

21:17 * Ali flops over Schism and just wishes Epic would just die off like Stadia

21:31 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, Epic has too much money for that to happen.

21:31 <Cepheid> The reason being they've got an impressive engine that makes gamedev a lot easier.

21:36 <Ali> Too bad they're total dicks about things

21:39 <Cepheid> I have been advised if I ever got offered money from Epic for an exclusive, that I'd be insane to refuse it, and the relevant people would look down on me, if not hate me outright for it.

21:42 <Cepheid> The probability of that ever happening though is nil.

21:52 <Cepheid> The cores of the problem being that I'm a mixture of lazy, and I don't have the free time needed to work on a project, because of school.

21:52 <Cepheid> Which isn't really my choice at this point.  Everything is decided by my parents.

21:52 <Cepheid> I tell them I want to quit, but nah, that's not my choice.

21:53 <Cepheid> Gotta keep at it, I've gotten so far.  Nevermind I'm failing my courses because I simply don't want to do the work, and I'm almost certain it's because A)  I'm lazy, and B)  I hate the university.

21:53 <Cepheid> But nah, let's ignore that.

21:53 <Cepheid> Let's subject the person in front of us who clearly cannot cope with university to enduring the repeated, same environment, driving their mental health ever further into decline.

21:55 <Cepheid> I was supposed to study all week.  I didn't do that.  Instead, I worked on my own project stuff because I wanted to work on THAT instead.

21:59 <Cepheid> That was a surprisingly mild meltdown.

22:05 <Cepheid> Oh look.

22:05 <Cepheid> My first assignment for parallel computing has been graded.

22:05 <Cepheid> A perfect mark.

22:18 <Schism> Hmm.  Been decades since I've played Spyro...

22:18 * Schism sets it to download, and runs to the store for a few while it's still open.

22:19 <Schism> $18 for the trilogy is a sane price, after all.

22:22 * Schism launches the game, and the faerie tells her that if run on a pirated disc, it may cause odd things to happen.

22:22 * Ali licks Schism nosie

22:23 * Schism boops the Ali with a cheese and pickle toastie, and runs off for a few before the store closes.

22:28 <Cepheid> Right, I suspect later this week I'm going to be put into quarantine.

22:31 * Lumindia_ gives everypony some spaghetti

22:42 * Shadowed|SleepySlumber looks at the steal mechanic in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.... Checks what you can steal from Dracula... It's Tomato Juice....

22:42 *** Shadowed|SleepySlumber is now known as Dappled

22:43 * Lumindia_ gives Shadowed some spaghetti as well

22:43 * Dappled eats the spaghetti.

22:53 * Ali nibbles on Dappled

22:53 * Dappled ear flaps at the Ali.

23:01 * Dappled wonders if kitties know that they are full of mowrale.

23:01 <Schism> Sometimes, you want to play an RPG with tons of character development, growth, and flavour.  Sometimes, you just want to blow up a few sheep...

23:08 <Schism> snrk.  https://twitter.com/AssignedMale/status/1363601594240167944

23:14 <Lumindia_> spaghet has been consumed

23:14 <Lumindia_> and I have leftovers

23:15 <Schism> Anyone else remember these?  https://twitter.com/WholesomeMeme/status/1363190934414974979

23:15 * Schism passes Ali one of those magic grow capsules.

23:16 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-l010ql.mi.comcast.net)

23:20 <Cepheid> I remember them.

23:36 * Schism puts one in water, and it turns into a tiny Ali.

23:39 <Cepheid> Complete with certificate of cuteness.

23:40 <Lumindia_> she's not cute

23:40 <Lumindia_> :<

23:43 * Ali is defo not cute!

23:46 <Schism> In order to learn the secret recipe for Indian flatbread, you'll have to sign a naan disclosure agreement.

23:51 * Cepheid hands Schism what appears to be a key lime.

23:51 * Schism adds it to her other 2.14 of them.

23:52 <Dappled> Wait...

23:52 <Dappled> So you had 2.14... And then you got another....

23:53 * Dappled sees that Schism got some Key Lime Pi.

23:54 <Cepheid> Heh.

23:54 <Schism> o3o

23:57 <Lumindia_> hah

23:58 * Cepheid exhales, and continues to exhale. And continues. And continues. Small gurgling noises and sounds of bubbles popping in her lungs can be heard as she CONTINUES EXHALING and trying to force as much air out of her lungs as possible.
