05:00 * Ali boops the uni nosie softly.
05:00 * uni squeaks and scrunchies
05:00 <uni> h-hey!
05:02 <Ali> What~
05:07 * uni pouts and waves his hooves around before they finally come into contact with Ali's snout
05:07 * Ali squeaks softly and then bleps at uni
05:10 * uni sticks his tongue out~
05:12 <uni> how's life?
05:14 <Ali> Its going to say the least
05:14 <Ali> I still miss MTG
05:18 <uni> oh yeah me too
05:18 <uni> Arena isn't the same
05:28 <Ali> Oh you play MTG?
05:30 * Ali boops uni. "What formats?"
05:39 <uni> well um not per se
05:39 <uni> it's like so hard to find people who play around here
05:41 <Ali> Ahhh, I don't like arena due to its pay to win mechanics
05:41 <Ali> And the horrid gold system
05:42 <Cyan_Spark> Ali-corn
05:42 <uni> yeah that is like downright terrible
05:42 <uni> ooh Cyan_Spark!
05:43 <Cyan_Spark> Hai uni
05:43 * uni flops on Cyan_Spark, waves pink card around
05:43 <uni> I'm free!
05:43 * Cyan_Spark presses pink card to uni's forehead
05:43 <uni> ah the tradition~
05:43 <Cyan_Spark> :3
05:44 <uni> hehe
05:45 <uni> how's life?
05:45 <uni> oh yeah Ali continuing the train of thought, the most people around here play is Duel Masters, which is sorta there but not quite
05:45 <Cyan_Spark> In uni now
05:45 <Cyan_Spark> You going to uni too, uni?
05:46 <Ali> You mean Yu gah hoh?
05:46 <Ali> I mainly draft
05:46 <Ali> Just the Arena draft format is not really good and with it taking so long to get coins to draft or gems, its not really a fun format
05:48 <uni> nope it's a different game~
05:48 <uni> and yeah Cyan_Spark September!
05:49 <Cyan_Spark> Which one, and what course?
05:51 <uni> hmm probably UCL
05:51 <uni> or maybe SUTD
05:51 <uni> gonna do Computer Engineering
05:55 <Finwe> Morning, my perissodactyls of minute stature.
05:55 <Finwe> Miss Ali, Messrs uni and Cyan_Spark.
05:55 * Finwe doffs his hat.
05:55 * Ali doffs over Finwe
05:55 <Cyan_Spark> UCL?
05:55 <Cyan_Spark> You going to London?
05:56 <Cyan_Spark> Hi Finwe
05:56 <uni> maybe~
05:56 <uni> ah, salutations Finwe
05:57 <Cyan_Spark> Huh.
05:57 * uni hats on Finwe
05:57 <Finwe> UCL was ranked 8th best in the whole world.
05:58 <Finwe> University College London, that is.
05:59 <Finwe> Université catholique de Louvain not so.
06:00 <Finwe> A friend of mine spent a year in SUTD as exchange student.
06:01 <Finwe> If it stands for Singapore University of Technology and Design.
06:03 <Finwe> or should I say 'exchange SUTDent'?
06:04 * Finwe thoughtfully noms on Ali's tail
06:04 * Ali squeaks and whines at the tail nomming
06:04 * uni pouts, that pun was downright terrible
06:05 <uni> ooh what did he think of it?
06:05 * Cyan_Spark pats uni
06:06 <Finwe> I think he liked it there.
06:07 <Finwe> Of course, after three or four months you always get completely annoyed by something, but I don't remember him telling what, if anything.
06:08 <uni> ooh nice
06:08 <Finwe> Another acquaintance studied in Australia, he didn't appreciate the fact that you basically do not exist if you don't have a gas bill with your name on it.
06:08 * uni squeakies at the pats
06:09 <Finwe> It leads to some interesting situations.
06:11 <Finwe> E.g. to pay your rent, you need an Australian bank account, but without the gas bill you cannot open an account, and before you have paid your rent and moved in you cannont get your first gas bill.
06:13 <uni> ooh circular loops~

07:52 * Ali squeaks at the sudden ConfusionRift hugs
07:53 <Ali> You know, I don't know if Twitter is doing it to anyone else
07:53 <Ali> But its turned all the People You May Like for me to politicial bullcrap people
07:54 <ConfusionRift> It did that to me for some time.
07:54 <Ali> Its still doing it to me
07:54 <Ali> And I wish it wouldn't
07:54 <Ali> And when I want to read facebook flamewars they won't allow me to expand the comments sections
07:55 <ConfusionRift> Huh. Then again, I disabled ad personalization, locations, and suggestions.
08:17 * ConfusionRift enters Twitter... then facehoofs. "There goes my memory."
08:18 <Ali> All political?
08:22 <ConfusionRift> No. I don't know why this happens, but the browser version has a memory leak of sorts, and just starts absorbing system memory like crazy. It's a similar problem to when I log into Outlook/Hotmail.
08:23 <Ali> Dunno, I'm just having issues with Twitter and Facebook just doing stupid things
08:23 <Ali> I don't have an account on either so they can't use that
08:27 <ConfusionRift> Wait... you don't have an account? That might be why.
08:28 <Ali> Nah, you can surf both without one
08:29 <Ali> Just FB is a bit more whiny about it than the tweeties
08:29 <Ali> Besides, I don't want a link to either toxic place
08:30 <ConfusionRift> If you're browsing outside an account, it's likely they just inserted you with the trending stuff. So... politics, C19 events, racial problems, famous artist debauchery, politics, C19, politics, something about immigration, C19, C19, mutations, C19, politics, etc. etc. etc.
08:31 <ConfusionRift> That's what most social media outlets do to non-users.
08:31 <Ali> And you can't read extended comments. Sometiems I just want to watch the world burn
08:32 <ConfusionRift> But... it's already burning. ._.
08:33 <ConfusionRift> You know... we didn't start the fire~. It was always burning, since the world's being turnin'~.
08:33 <ConfusionRift> It still kills me that most of my favorites as a kid were songs about politics and similar garbo.

11:55 <RazorSharpFang> Every time someone mints a new NFT, the world ends for a little bit.
11:56 <ConfusionRift> "Okay, I created this new thing, and everyone's gonna adopt it immediately. It's just that good." | Eerm... no?
11:56 <Schism> want to go back in time and just prevent Bitcoin from being started.
11:57 <RazorSharpFang> I think that's like preventing calculus from being invented. It's a losing battle.
11:57 <ConfusionRift> Which is funny, because someone's trying to make a new e-money.
11:58 <Schism> I know, I know. It'll ultimately come back around, because there's always someone who comes up with an idea that looks great on the surface, but turns out to be A. a pyramid scheme, and B. hideously bad for the environment on every level.
11:58 <RazorSharpFang> It's only bad for the environment because we're still using fossil fuels. We have solar, we're lacking the government backing.
11:59 <RazorSharpFang> In Australia, there's not much backing for clean energy in comparison to coal and oil. Makes me sad.
11:59 <Schism> True, though there's also the matter of waste heat and burned-out GPUs which contain tons of non-reusable materials.
12:00 <RazorSharpFang> What materials aren't recycled from those these days? I know we grab all of those precious metals.
12:00 <ConfusionRift> In any case, it's a different thing all together. On one, we have a blank electronic placeholder that, for some reason somehow, it obtained absurd value. And the other is a file system, which many systems in the enterprise level are currently using. Moving from that, would require EVERY SYSTEM to function and understand this new file system.
12:00 * Filly_Nightmares yawnskree at Schism
12:01 <Schism> ConfusionRift, it was a joke by @SwiftOnSecurity. <.<; They're not serious.
12:01 * Schism wraps Filly_Nightmares in blankets and provides more warm tea.
12:01 <ConfusionRift> I knooow. :P It was more of a scenario situation.
12:01 * Filly_Nightmares murr and haz headache
12:02 <ConfusionRift> There's no way microsoft would shoot themselves on the foot like that... then again...
12:05 * Lumindia offers Surry some tea and/or soup
12:05 * Filly_Nightmares rolls onto her back and mewls at Lumindia
12:06 * Lumindia bellyrubs
12:06 <ConfusionRift> To this day, I will never understand how something that's nothing retains this much value.
12:06 <Lumindia> o vo
12:07 <RazorSharpFang> Probably the same way paper money retains any value.
12:09 <ConfusionRift> But money works in the same way as silver notes did. A value is given to it in return. THIS. This is literally a block of 1s and 0s that have no representation, and yet is given this much value.
12:09 * Filly_Nightmares uses ConfusionRift as a blankie
12:09 <RazorSharpFang> Right; value is assigned, yea?
12:09 * Cepheid flops.
12:10 * Schism flump.
12:10 * Cepheid hears the topic and continues flopping and flops right out of the room.
12:11 * Schism offers Cepheid some of the rest of this maple coffee.
12:11 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid flopping out of the room is a sign of the end of the world. It's as I predicted.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> As it was predicted, so it shall be. (explodes)
12:12 <RazorSharpFang> I prophesy is foretold! Indeed, by definition a prophesy is that which is foretold!
12:12 <Cepheid> You people are loonies.
12:12 <ConfusionRift> :P
12:12 <RazorSharpFang> Yes
12:12 <Schism> ... welp. Let's just shut down the Suez Canal and start over, if this is going to keep being a thing. https://twitter.com/TheInsiderPaper/status/1379394194331013123
12:13 <Cepheid> ...
12:13 <Cepheid> Are you freaking kidding me?
12:13 <Schism> They were stuck briefly, but... still...
12:13 <ConfusionRift> HAAAAH! Okay, someone was actually joking about that, and... jeez, maybe they should do something about this.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> Also, so much traffic going through this tiny canal?
12:14 <Schism> They didn't run aground, though. It was just a matter of an engine stall for the Nike, and the M/T Rumford just bumped into something, or maybe decided to take a nap.
12:15 <Schism> It wasn't like the Ever Given, where it actually managed to lodge itself into the canal wall.
12:15 <Cepheid> Still.
12:15 * ConfusionRift points out that Minerva wasn't the only that started a canal jam.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> I'm starting to think these boats are passed their manufacturer warranty date.
12:16 <Schism> snrk.

12:23 <Cepheid> Especially since it only has enough braincells to process "Eating" "Sleeping" "Bathroom Breaks" and "Getting pets."
12:23 <Cepheid> So about 4 brain cells.
12:23 <Cepheid> Some might be pulling double duty.
12:25 <ConfusionRift> Probably the eating cell. :P
12:25 <Schism> Hmm. mRNA vaccines may be viable for not only HIV, but also malaria and some types of cancer.

12:26 <ConfusionRift> You mean Pac-Man Battle Royale [Not a Mario 35 spinoff here]? :P
12:27 <ConfusionRift> ...the heck?
12:27 <Cepheid> Derpy's been unable to get the title of youtube videos as of late due to some sort of German "Before you go to youtube.." thing.
12:27 * ConfusionRift looks at Derpy.

12:28 <Cepheid> Yep.
12:28 <Cepheid> Cats really like their food. Kittens especially so.
12:29 * Schism attaches a gyroscope to Lumin's wireless headset.
12:31 <Lumindia> D:?
12:31 <Lumindia> anyway
12:31 <Schism> So's you can just move the camera by tilting your head!
12:31 <Lumindia> got myself a Logitech G533 half off
12:31 <Lumindia> normally 150 USD, got it for 70
12:31 <Schism> Noice. o3o
12:31 <Cepheid> Not bad.
12:31 <Cepheid> Though that's more than half-off. </Pedantic>
12:33 <Lumindia> well it ended up being about half after taxes were added
12:33 <Lumindia> so nyeeh
12:33 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
12:33 <Schism> But before the discount, the taxes would also be applied! So it'd be more like $165!
12:34 <Lumindia> Don't encourage them, Schism
12:34 <Lumindia> xD
12:34 * Schism meanwhile growls. "It is a fine morning. I'm awake, I'm alert, I'm doing well. Ate some coffee, drank some cereal, and now am filled to the brim with rage at North Carolina."
12:37 <Lumindia> why north carolina specifically?
12:38 <Schism> Standard 'doctors who provide support for trans people under 21 will lose their license' legislation, with the added 'screw you' of "If a government employee spots non-gender-conforming behavior in a minor, they should immediately inform the minor's parents."

12:40 <Schism> Indeed it was. o3o
12:40 <Lumindia> and I also learned there's a spectrum for that
12:40 <Schism> Why, yes. Also, https://i.redd.it/8c2ewx89ubg21.jpg
12:41 <Lumindia> someone on my timeline said they were Demisexual and demiromantic, and the way I asked it was 'pardon my ignorance, but what's demisexual and demiromantic?'
12:41 <Lumindia> they linked a chart explaining it, and I thanked them for it
12:41 * Schism noddles. "It can be confusing. And of course, there's no particular reason to label oneself unless one wants, nor to let others pigeonhole one. Everyone's different!"
12:42 * ConfusionRift flops to sleep. Work is gonna suck, as usual.

12:47 * Cepheid hums. "Single tileset per tilemap, no multi-tileset stuff. Simplifies things, allows me to get moving again."
12:49 <Schism> Still not sure how I managed somehow to unlock the Central Tower with only four hearts and a single stamina upgrade.
12:50 <Schism> Those guardians. :<
12:50 <Schism> (Hyrule Field is nothing but guardians)
12:50 <Cepheid> You can finish the game with 3 hearts and no stamina upgrades.
12:50 <Cepheid> You don't even have to kill any of the bosses in the game except the final boss.
12:51 <Schism> I know, I know. Well, sorta. Don't you need to have at least one upgrade to get the paraglider?
12:51 <Cepheid> I am not sure off hand.
12:53 * Schism might launch herself off the tower with a stasis slingshot and see if paragliding gets her all the way to Death Mountain.
12:54 <Cepheid> Do I want to do a trivial implementation of a tile renderer..?
12:55 <Cepheid> Hmm.
12:55 <Cepheid> I'm actually not sure which would perform better at this point.
12:56 <Cepheid> Since a lot of the performance hit I was seeing in the past was due to hitting a recommended vertex limit, and not being aware of said vertex limit.

13:13 <Cepheid> Hum, for my needs, linear-mipmap-nearest gives the best visual result for magnification and minification.
13:20 <Cepheid> Sort of, anyways. Magnification, it introduces blurring, even when the scale in question is an exact integer multiple of the base size.
13:21 <Cepheid> I guess this is why that Integer Scaling functionality exists on GPUs these days.
13:24 <Schism> Wow, cyproterone evidently does the job really well.
13:24 <Cepheid> Hmm?
13:24 <Schism> T-blocker. Reduced it by a factor of 32.
13:25 <Finwe> Cyproterone acetate is an antiandrogen.
13:25 <Cepheid> Ah.
13:25 <Finwe> Sometimes sold mixed with ethinylestradiol.
13:26 <Schism> Yes, but I'm on sublingual estradiol on its own.
13:26 <Schism> Now more of it.
13:34 <Cepheid> Hum, 5 layers of tile drawing, 360 or so FPS on this laptop.
13:34 <Schism> Not too shabby. o3o
13:34 <Cepheid> I feel like it can do better, though.
13:35 <Cepheid> I was in the process of making an optimized tile renderer, from the looks of my code. I got stopped at some point for some reason.
13:38 <Cepheid> Slightly ingeniuous solution, too.
13:43 <Cepheid> Used a texture buffer to hold a small chunk of the tilemap as an array of integers instead of a bunch of pre-computed quads. I then used instancing with a single quad, along with some shader magic to draw each tile in the chunk accordingly.
13:48 <Cepheid> Let's simplify the design though. It was splitting the tilemap up into chunks, and honestly, I don't think that needs to be done.
13:53 <Cepheid> Probably too aggressive an optimization, in fact. Especially since the vertex data being submitted is going to be less than the recommended vertex count by far. The rest is being generated in the shaders.
13:54 * Cepheid sighs. Hates this aspect of C/C++.
13:54 <Cepheid> "Tileset* Tileset;"
13:54 <Cepheid> I suppose this is why developers started using prefixes like C for class, I for Interface, and the like.
13:55 <Schism> "Mahna* Manha;" (doot doo, do-do do.)
13:55 <Schism> Yeah.
13:55 <Cepheid> Basically what happens is that it complains because a typename is being used as an identifier, and the compiler can't tell the difference.
13:55 * Cepheid cleans up this bit of code, then goes to do a commit which changes all the classes to use C/I prefixing for class/interface.
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> I don't bother with a C prefix for classes, but I use the I prefix for interface.
13:58 <Cyan_Spark> Visual Basic
14:00 <RazorSharpFang> Eww
14:07 <Cepheid> The problem here is C/C++ doesn't like types being used as names for variables as well, so the prefix HAS to be there, or the variable prefixed with something, which is silly.
14:07 <RazorSharpFang> Oh.
14:07 <RazorSharpFang> That's a problem.
14:08 <Cepheid> So for example, I have a class called Tileset. I want to add a reference to it to a class, named, of course, Tileset.
14:08 <Cepheid> "Tileset* Tileset;"
14:08 <Cepheid> That's not allowed.
14:09 <RazorSharpFang> Huh. That's perfectly valid in C#, and is actually the Autocomplete option.

15:09 <Finwe> Schism: I had constant hyponatremia prior to getting insulin medication.
15:10 <Schism> Mm, and hyperglycemia does lower the sodium, a part of what causes kidney issues.
15:10 <Cepheid> Hum... If I limit tilesets to 1020x1020 pixels, the next power up is 1024x1024. And that offers me 2,601 distinct tiles per tileset.
15:10 <Cepheid> (Tiles are 20x20 pixels.)
15:10 <Schism> Or rather, I should say that ketoacidosis is what lowers sodium levels.
15:11 <Cepheid> Aaaaand here we go.
15:11 <Cepheid> I can feel the headache starting.
15:12 <Cepheid> Tylenol. Before it gets worse.
15:13 * Schism offers Cepheid some Dayquil instead.
15:14 <Cepheid> Alas, no such medication on hand. Tylenol with codeine it is.
15:14 <Cepheid> You know, this could be stopped if we knew what was causing the fevers, I bet.
15:14 <Cepheid> Of course, that's assuming the fevers are the cause and not a symptom.
15:15 <Cepheid> I know for a fact that heating my head up aggravates the headaches. Makes them worse.

15:26 * Schism could listen to this all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQF5F5A1cRo < [Celeste D-Sides OST] 01: Final Goodbye - "Parting"
15:31 <Cepheid> For clarification on my above question: Uniforms are constant variables that are set before a drawing operation, and stay set to those values DURING the drawing operation. They are identified by "locations" which are numbers that are assigned to them by the shader compiler in use. These locations are not static, and can change between one compilation and another, and have to be queried in the application before I can use
15:31 <Cepheid> them.
15:31 <Cepheid> This querying creates all sorts of problems.
15:33 <Cepheid> Ideally, you try to limit the number of connections, references and the like between objects in a computer program. This makes it easier to maintain those various objects.
15:33 <Cepheid> The problem with the above is that it requires that pass an object, a shader, to another object, a tileset, which shouldn't need to know anything about the shader.
15:44 <Cepheid> ... And of course, sitting on a toilet has me recall a method to get around this.

19:17 <Schism> Took me a moment there.
19:17 <Schism> I think it's the Shrine of the Mother from the Graveyard entrance, but it might be the Twin Labyrinths one.
19:18 <Schism> Or I guess possibly the Chamber of Extinction one.

19:24 <Cepheid> Though I guess it could be?
19:25 <Schism> Well, might be... I don't THINK it's the one you can unlock from above, but maybe I'm wrong.
19:25 <Cepheid> Still, I should go that way anyways.
19:25 <Schism> I know it's not the one with the timed coin chest.

20:54 <Schism> Oh, he's the villain of the piece. He started a money laundering business in the Hair Strand, but once things turned sour, he flaked on his associates, and now our goal is to force him to come clean.
20:54 <Finwe> The head expands it to 50 centilitres, and according to Irish High Court, the head is part of the product in Guinness.
20:56 <Schism> Darnit, Finwe. You were supposed to ask how he established this money laundering stuff.
20:57 <Finwe> Do enlighten me about the subject, if you please.
20:57 <Schism> Of course. He began, as so many criminals do, as a humble scalper.
21:01 <Schism> (For now I need to run to the bank, so I'll leave you with that horrible pun.)

21:16 * Dappled finds a box to sit in.
21:16 * Lumindia_ has stolen all the boxes
21:16 <Finwe> Mr Dappled.
21:16 * Dappled grumble horse.
21:16 * Finwe doffs his hat.
21:16 * Dappled waves.
21:17 <Finwe> Dappled: Boxes are for cats, not for horses.
21:17 * Finwe o3o's at Dappled.
21:17 <Dappled> Okay, but have considered... That boxes are pleasing to sit in?
21:19 * Lumindia_ has made a fort out of the stolen boxes
21:19 * Lumindia_ hides in said fort
21:20 * Finwe has a large cardboard box lying around on the floor.
21:20 <Finwe> It's the box in which my new computer came.
21:22 * Dappled shall sit!

21:42 * Schism looks at the people who were wandering down the sidewalks -- maskless -- two and three alongside one another, BLOCKING THE WHOLE DAMNED SIDEWALK so that she had to skip out into the street to maintain social distancing.
21:42 <Schism> I might have given one or two the stink-eye. I feel it warranted.
21:45 <Cepheid> I saw a lot of that on my way to the hospital last night, yeah.
21:46 <Cepheid> Doritos 3D are just... Bugles. Doritos flavoured.
21:47 <ADragonDreaming> Yell out "1 meter hole" as you approach
21:49 <Cepheid> Meanwhile outside my house, family playing outside with no masks on at all.
21:50 <ADragonDreaming> If it's all people are in the same contact bubble anyway, and they are distanced from everyone outside said bubble...
21:50 <ADragonDreaming> that's not really that big of a deal.
21:51 <Cepheid> Problem is, they aren't.
21:52 <Schism> They're taking up the whole sidewalk and the 6' range alongside it.
21:53 <ADragonDreaming> right. I was referring to family playing outdoors.
21:53 <Schism> I'm fine if they decide to line up single file as others pass, and I took to the kerb while I did so.
21:53 <Cepheid> And the parents occasionally stop to talk with other adults.
21:53 <Schism> Oh, those are fine.
21:53 <ADragonDreaming> though with additional detail, evidently not.
21:53 <Schism> The family playing, that is. Occasionally stopping -- um, maybe step a little to the side, see if you can borrow a house's walkway.
21:54 <ADragonDreaming> I know Canada's having a rough go of it getting vaccines to people, so...
21:54 <ADragonDreaming> they ain't vaccinated.
21:54 <Cepheid> Nope.
21:54 <Cepheid> Especially here in Ottawa.
21:54 <Schism> Anyone under 60, I assume, is not vaccinated. Anyone above 60, I can almost always assume, is also not vaccinated.
21:54 <Cepheid> My dad turning 60 this year has his appointment. But yeah.
21:55 <ADragonDreaming> per my sister, the critical targets, such as those above 60 and healthcare workers, have gotten *one*
21:55 <ADragonDreaming> when will they get the second? *el shrug*
21:55 * Dappled can't wait for his second stab.
21:55 <Schism> The vaccine is also not equivalent to those prior.
21:55 <Schism> It does not stop you from getting it, it does not stop you from _spreading_ it.
21:56 <Schism> It reduces the symptoms to a mild flu, or thereabouts.
21:56 <ADragonDreaming> really? Where'd you learn that?
21:56 <Cepheid> I wonder how many more months I'll be stuck inside. I could really go for some fresh air.
21:57 <Schism> Adra: Various different sources. Such as this one. Also, vaccines have kind of always worked that way... https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/covid19-industry/drugs-vaccines-treatments/vaccines/moderna.html#a2
21:58 <Cepheid> I at least got a bit of fresh air last night while waiting for my ride home.
21:58 * Dappled lives in a state so full of antivaxxers that I'm actively becoming less concerned if they catch it because it's been so long and they refuse to take even the slightest precaution.

22:00 * Filly_Nightmares gnaw on Dappled ears
22:01 * Dappled earflaps.
22:01 <ADragonDreaming> oh, right.
22:01 <ADragonDreaming> I just hadn't heard that you'd still feel symptoms.
22:01 <ADragonDreaming> that's just basic immunity.
22:01 <ADragonDreaming> border guard of the body goes "I know you!" and then shoots the virus.
22:01 <Schism> Oh, well, yeah. I mean, yeah.
22:01 * Schism shakes her head. "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
22:02 <Cepheid> Hum. Rocking chair outside. Gonna sit on the front porch and get some fresh air.
22:04 <Cepheid> Man that lady looks ready to keel over and die from dealing with her kids. I almost swear with the way she is walking, that water bottle isn't filled with water.
22:04 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I just watched 3 different groups of people walk by with no masks on.
22:05 <Cepheid> But yeah that group of kids playing from before is going back and forth between two households constantly.

22:25 * Filly_Nightmares pants at Cepheid
22:43 <Cepheid> Feeling any better Surry?
22:45 * Finwe hats on Filly_Nightmares.
22:46 <Finwe> !lullaby
22:46 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
22:46 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
22:46 <Finwe> !shoo
22:46 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
22:46 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
22:47 * Finwe curls up on Ali and snoozes.

23:15 <Cepheid> So, there's a vulnerability similar to Spectre in AMD Zen 3 CPUs, their most recent model. The bad news? It's a bad vulnerability. The good news? Apparently, turning off the feature that's vulnerable has a less than 1% impact on performance anyways.
