00:20 <Cepheid> Someone isn't doing their delivery job right.
00:21 <Cepheid> Third time in two weeks, someone delivered food we didn't order here, and left it on the porch without ringing our doorbell or anything.
00:21 <Cepheid> So someone out there isn't getting their food because a delivery person isn't checking the address.
00:22 <Cepheid> I would say it isn't easy not make the mistake, but given that there is an Aspen Circle(I live on Aspenview Way) not 300 meters away...

00:33 <Cepheid> There isn't even a receipt to tell us what store it was ordered from so we could complain.
00:36 <Cepheid> We called the parent company. "We don't know where it came from, or who delivered it, it's not our problem."

00:42 <Cepheid> Basically absolving itself of responsibility of food waste by placing the blame on the delivery company they employ.

07:20 * Ali flumps under Finwe
07:21 <Finwe> Usually the beginning is in the beginning, but this time it was in the end.
07:21 * Finwe hugs the Ali.
07:23 <Finwe> The next one shall be Guards! Guards!
07:31 * uni flops across Finwe
07:31 <uni> storm clouds rolling in
07:37 <Finwe> Mr uni.
07:37 * Finwe doffs his hat.
07:37 <uni> salutations, RAdm. Finwe
07:37 * uni hats on Finwe
07:38 <uni> I like how in the army, we only ever saluted and addressed officers by rank when we wanted to annoy them
07:38 * Finwe doffs his uni.
07:39 * uni begins to nibble on Finwe's ear
07:39 <Finwe> uni: In the Finnish army it was obligatory, at least for the conscripts.
07:40 <Finwe> There were exceptions to this, of course.
07:40 <Finwe> In the vehicle depot it was explicitly forbidden.
07:42 <Finwe> And according to what I've heard, also anywhere else where people actually did something real.

07:43 * Finwe nodnods.
07:45 <Finwe> Those specialised solely in combat (and often also administration) have more time for it, but if you really need to get something done, like getting a vehicle serviced, then you want to do it without interruptions.
07:49 <Finwe> I was assigned as the duty NCO for the company with which I served a couple of times; the commander of the unit would arrive some time between 7 and 8 a.m., climb the stairs to his office (this took about 10 seconds) and scold you if you didn't notice him and stand there in attention giving him the duty report.

10:45 <Finwe> Mr RazorSharpFang.
10:46 * Finwe redoffs his hat.
10:46 * Schism thanks Finwe, but will pass on the asparagus soup for now. She does, however, doff her strong tea, and pancakes with raspberry jam.
10:46 <RazorSharpFang> Hey heys.
10:46 <Finwe> Made, of course, of white asparagus.
10:47 <Finwe> For some reason, I prefer that to green when making soup.
10:47 <Schism> If it's a cream soup, particlularly? o3o
10:48 <Schism> particularly*
10:48 <Finwe> A creamy soup, yes. It's made in three phases.
10:48 <Finwe> In the first one you simmer the asparagus peels with some lemon, salt and honey to get stock for the soup.
10:49 <Finwe> In the second, you sieve the stock and cut the asparagus into bits meanwhile, then boil the asparagus bits in the stock.
10:51 <Finwe> And in the final phase, you sieve the stock yet again, then make a bechamel paste out of butter and flour and mix the asparagus stock under constant stirring, boil for about 10 minutes and then add cream, white pepper to taste and the asparagus bits.
10:52 <Finwe> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/690069540658348069/839090960473784360/spargelsuppe.jpg?width=949&height=712
10:52 <Finwe> Then it should look like that.
10:52 <Finwe> You can garnish with parsley if you like.
10:53 <Schism> Seems a fine, easy enough vegetable soup. o3o
10:53 <RazorSharpFang> Gosh dang it, steam version out of sync with server version.
10:54 <Finwe> Schism: Easy but somewhat onerous to make, what with the two sievings and all.
10:55 <Schism> Mm, true.

15:06 <LibrarianofHope> the subway collapsed
15:06 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, this is breaking news I see.
15:06 <LibrarianofHope> yep, just heard it
15:06 <LibrarianofHope> we had major incidents in the subway in the last years
15:07 <LibrarianofHope> it worked fine for the last 50
15:07 <LibrarianofHope> dirty mess but no one died
15:07 <RazorSharpFang> "Mexico City Metro - This article may be affected by the following current event: Mexico City Metro overpass collapse." I see Wikipedia's already on it.
15:08 <LibrarianofHope> they quick
15:08 <LibrarianofHope> if memory serves that particular section is relativly new
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> the current secretary of foreign relations was mayor at the time
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> and it was a mess ofa build
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> they probably stole too much with the standard cheaping of materials
15:11 <RazorSharpFang> That's interesting.
15:12 <RazorSharpFang> There's a lot of red on the NYSE this morning. Lots and lots of red. Everything is down.
15:19 <LibrarianofHope> mexican subway is very similar to ny
15:19 <LibrarianofHope> we just have a lot of stores in it, and its orange

17:49 <Schism> He's 89, he's lived a long and fruitful life, and he's decided to end it on his terms.
17:50 <Schism> So while it's sad to lose him, it'd be to nobody's benefit for him to suffer through late-stage cancer.

17:54 <Schism> Probably profound trickery.
17:54 <Cepheid> Probably. The issue I have is in the limited RAM the Switch has.

17:56 <Schism> Frustratingly humid here. Not so much hot.
17:57 <Cepheid> Let's see..
17:57 <Cepheid> The Tegra X1 was used in the Switch.
17:58 <Cepheid> Most recent model ANNOUNCED was the Atlan. Prior to that, the Orin. Neither have been officially released yet.
17:58 <Cepheid> The most recent model released is...
17:58 <Schism> I see that nVidia decided to go a little bit cutesy on their internal naming.
17:58 <Cepheid> The nVidia Xavier platform.
17:59 <Cepheid> Which seems the probable choice, given it has tensor cores, which are a requirement for DLSS, which is apparently what the new Switch model is gonna use for 4k gaming.
17:59 <LibrarianofHope> im following the new warhammer stuff
17:59 <LibrarianofHope> nothing that intersting
18:00 <Cepheid> Will I buy a new Switch model if one's released? Yeah, and then I'll CFW my old model.
18:00 <Cepheid> Or hand it off to my mother.
18:01 * Schism flumps back over to work. Tis a day...
18:01 <Cepheid> I should investigate freelancing services.
18:01 <Schism> But I'm not as bloody-minded or depressed as yesterday, so it's a good enough day.
18:02 <Cepheid> My parents are getting weird with respect to me and work.
18:03 <Cepheid> Essentially, they want me to work, but they are under the impression that I'd never be able to hold a full-time job, and thus want to register me for various pension and social services stuff.
18:04 <Cepheid> Not because I'm lazy, mind, but because my mental health wouldn't allow for it. They have the same concerns as me at this point.
18:04 <Cepheid> What would happen if I lost my mind while at work?
18:05 <LibrarianofHope> not a fun thought
18:05 <LibrarianofHope> coding commisons could be a better fit
18:05 <Cepheid> Indeed.
18:06 <Cepheid> And better suited to my sleeping habits.
18:06 <LibrarianofHope> the social service stuff could aid
18:06 <Cepheid> It's apparent my mental health issues will break out randomly. It's guaranteed, even if I have the best of environments around me, and medications to help cope.
18:06 <Cepheid> So it's pretty much guaranteed I'll have an episode at work.
18:06 <Cepheid> And it has happened.
18:06 <LibrarianofHope> yes
18:07 <LibrarianofHope> its better to set your own parameters
18:09 <Cepheid> I just don't know how I should go about it. I'm thinking what I should do is go up to one or more hiring agencies and ask for their advice regarding freelancing options. Or perhaps use the school resources available to me.

18:23 <Cepheid> Will likely be a variant of the NX 15W design.
18:26 <Cepheid> Though I could see Nintendo using an improved battery and going for the T194 design.

20:09 <uni> writing alt history is so fun~
20:09 <uni> LibrarianofHope, what kinda mini?
20:15 <LibrarianofHope> a savage orc shaman
20:15 <LibrarianofHope> i have some bits to turn into a mask
20:16 <Schism> myurlpl.
20:16 * Schism flumps.
20:16 <Schism> Last break of the day...
20:16 * Schism heats up some leftover tea.
20:17 <Schism> "But Jennifer, don't you work until 5:30? You only have one hour left?" "Why yes, how perspicacious of you."
20:18 <LibrarianofHope> mexican policitians seem outright malevolent right now
20:18 <LibrarianofHope> i mean, we are used to corrupt , but the subway thing jezz
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> we are sure of 3 policitians who are responsible, one even fled to france
20:19 <uni> of all places, France
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> he came back cause his buddy became president
20:19 <Schism> ... does France not have an extradition treaty with Mexico?
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> he is the current secreatry of foreing relationions
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> we probably have
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> he was never really convicted
20:20 <LibrarianofHope> everyone knows anyway
20:20 <Schism> I'm going to take it as read that 'he was never going to be convicted'.
20:20 <LibrarianofHope> yep
20:20 <LibrarianofHope> nailed it
20:21 <LibrarianofHope> thing is, 23 dead
20:21 <LibrarianofHope> everyone wants his head
20:22 <Schism> Except, of course, the person who currently owns it.
20:22 <Schism> Or more properly, owns his [yay].
20:25 <LibrarianofHope> problem is we have a trump type of president
20:25 <LibrarianofHope> cult of personality tyrant wannabe
20:25 <Schism> At least Vicente Fox knew how to tell Trump & Co. where to stick it...
20:25 <LibrarianofHope> the secretary guy is his right hand man, essentialy his vicepresident
20:26 <Schism> Fox was a disaster zone for policy, though.
20:26 <LibrarianofHope> they all are
20:26 <Schism> Calderon, Nieto, and now Obrador... aaagh.
20:26 <LibrarianofHope> we are used to corrupt idiots as a side effect
20:27 <Schism> I'm going back to work so I don't have to think about this for another hour.
20:27 <LibrarianofHope> dont think much of it
20:28 <LibrarianofHope> i dont exéct anything to happen, but we are going to rember it

21:03 <Finwe> Good evening, my perissodactyls of minute stature.

21:03 * Finwe doffs his hat.
21:03 * Ali squeaks at Finwe
21:04 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail, reversing the law of causality.
21:05 * AppleDash neighs
21:07 <Finwe> I helped my friend install Linux desktop environment on Apple hardware.
21:08 <Finwe> There's always some excitement, like whether the wifi driver is included in the installation media.
21:10 * Finwe noms on AppleDash.

21:17 <Ali> In the final town
21:18 * Shadowed headtilts even more.
21:18 * AppleDash pets Sunrise_Flare
21:18 <Ali> In Wyndon Shadowed

21:18 * Shadowed now understands.
21:19 <Ali> My eons are Lvl 60+

21:20 * Shadowed continues to be in girl mode. Shadowed is the mare, Dappled is the stallion.
21:21 * AppleDash boops Shadowed

21:33 * Ali puffycheeks at all the squeaking
21:34 * Shadowed boops the Ali nose.
21:34 <Schism> Once I finally get that shot... https://reallifecomics.com/index.php
21:34 * Ali squeaks at the Shadowed as per tradition
21:34 * Schism applies oil to Ali.
21:34 <Schism> Oil of Ali, if you would.
21:35 * Ali flails
21:35 * Schism also snugs the Shadowed.
21:36 * Shadowed snuggles!
21:38 * AppleDash neighs softly
21:38 <LibrarianofHope> im trying to negotiate some form of wholesale buying with the warhammer guys in mexico
21:39 <LibrarianofHope> they want me to have a proper store
21:39 <LibrarianofHope> which i cant have
21:39 <Ali> What, you can't get your own storefront?
21:40 * Ali boops LibrarianofHope to not be so defeatist
21:40 <LibrarianofHope> dont want one
21:40 <LibrarianofHope> its woul be a hassle
21:40 <LibrarianofHope> im good at online sales, way more efficient
21:45 <LibrarianofHope> if i can even get like a 15-20 percent i can make it work
21:48 <Shadowed> But why wouldn't someone looking to buy online not just go to GamesWorkshops' site? What could you offer to make them be willing to potentailly pull sales away from their own site?
21:49 <LibrarianofHope> they are the wholesalers
21:49 * Schism also grabs a pen and opens up her census packet.
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> i could buy from gw, but i would make no profit
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> i need to buy a lot at some degree of discount
21:50 <Shadowed> Right. But why would a customer buy from you, instead of Games Workshop?
21:51 <LibrarianofHope> umm
21:51 <LibrarianofHope> im in a sort of amazon/ebay hybrid unique to latin america
21:51 <LibrarianofHope> i have great reputation a decent and decent price
21:52 <LibrarianofHope> and no need to deal with customs
21:52 <LibrarianofHope> im in mexico, so importas are a huge issue
21:53 * Shadowed nods. That makes sense.
21:53 *** Quits: Fn (Eogan@Pony-effnaa.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:56 <LibrarianofHope> if you factor no rent, or employess, my operation costs are very small
21:56 <LibrarianofHope> need some tinkering but i can make profit
22:03 * Schism finishes her census. Pen not required. "You manage to do yours, yet, Cepheid?"
22:04 <LibrarianofHope> census?
22:04 <LibrarianofHope> you do it yourself?
22:05 <Schism> Sure, go online, fill out a few small things - sex, gender, address, married status, etc.
22:05 <Schism> I offered my props to the webdev team for actually making it easy, unlike the idiots in charge of the Canadian Revenue Agency.
22:06 <Schism> ASAB, I should note, rather than what one is now.
22:06 <Cepheid> I have not.
22:07 <Schism> Mm. Well, it's one link per household. Maybe your folks have done it.
22:07 <Schism> I filled it out for myself and my brother, easy as pie.
22:08 <Schism> What drew my attention was a separate point for gender. Male/female/other.
22:09 <Schism> So, Ali. Ali, Ali, Ali.
22:09 <Schism> Have a d'aww. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E0kXVuvUUAIxnoT?format=jpg&name=large
22:10 * Cepheid loads up MHGU.
22:10 <Cepheid> How in the hell did we ever know when we had what we needed to craft gear back then?
22:12 * Schism holds up a notebook full of scribbles from the MYST series, Etrian Odyssey, La-Mulana, and Hollow Knight.
22:13 <Cepheid> That doesn't tell us that we have what we need, just what we DO need.
22:14 <Schism> Of course. That's why you write each individual item on its line, and make ticks on the notepad when you acquire more.
22:14 <Cepheid> That works, I guess, yes.
22:15 <Schism> Beats rummaging through a box of 512 items.
22:15 <Cepheid> As for getting a list of required materials, I just use Ping's Dex for MHXX. Can copy and paste the table it creates.
22:16 <Schism> Also workable.
22:17 * Schism finishes up her second pill of the day, and basks in the feeling of her tongue feeling like it's slightly on fire.
22:17 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3684 [ https://tinyurl.com/ygutsknq ]
22:17 <Cepheid> I then just go through the list of items, adjust the counts according to what I have in my box, then what's left over is what I need.
22:19 <Cepheid> LR Great Maccao. This is gonna be a massacre.
22:30 * Ali flails at Schism

22:49 * Schism takes a break to do her dishes. "Yeah, I hadn't completed the low-rank Great Jaggi set."
22:49 <Cepheid> You mean just the Jaggi set, Great Jaggi doesn't exist in Rise.
22:50 <Schism> Great whatever, then...
22:50 <Cepheid> Izuchi!
22:50 <Cepheid> Or baggi.
22:51 <Cepheid> Also Great Wroggi.
22:54 <Schism> Baggi! That's the one. The first.
22:54 <Schism> Either way, didn't have my Baggi set complete, so STILL have to get a King's whatever for that...
22:58 <Cepheid> King Rhino?
22:59 <Cepheid> Those can be found in the Flooded Forest.
22:59 <Lumindia> so, pancake syrup
22:59 <Lumindia> how much do you use on your pancakes?
22:59 * Schism uses jam. Or possibly entirely too much maple syrup.
22:59 <Lumindia> no wasting maple syrup, that stuff's expensive
22:59 <Cepheid> Not here.
23:00 <Lumindia> how much is a liter of maple syrup for you Ceph?
23:00 <Schism> It's still expensive, just not as much.
23:00 <Schism> Anyway, King's Crest is a 70% head break item.
23:01 <Lumindia> and you Schism
23:01 <Lumindia> what's a liter of maple syrup cost for you
23:01 <Schism> Being on dual blades, I'll have to get creative for a head break.
23:01 <Lumindia> at least the brand you like
23:01 <Cepheid> Oh, King's Crest.
23:01 <Schism> Or 15% capture. I only need, like, one more, but it's still frustrating.
23:02 <Schism> (Until I reach Rarity 4, at which point I'll need tons more.)
23:02 *** Quits: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-esl.h3k.207.187.IP) (Quit: Connection closed)
23:02 <Cepheid> 3.17 for the stuff I like... At 375ml So...
23:03 <Cepheid> $8.45 for a litre.
23:03 <Cepheid> But since I can't get a litre exactly, I round up and buy 3 bottles.
23:03 <Cepheid> 9.51
23:04 <Lumindia> ......
23:04 <Lumindia> '-'
23:04 <Lumindia> okay yeah, that's hella cheap compared to here
23:04 <Lumindia> a liter here is about 17 bucks
23:05 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/0T0upbE.png
23:05 <Cepheid> Of course, you specified MAPLE SYRUP. What I like isn't technically maple syrup. It tastes like it. In any case, maple syrup itself is overrated if you ask me. There are cheaper varieties that taste better.
23:05 <Lumindia> so you get 'maple flavored syrup' then?
23:06 <Lumindia> that's fair
23:06 <Cepheid> Okay, so THAT stuff there?
23:06 <Cepheid> I'm seeing $27+ on Amazon Canada.
23:06 <Lumindia> yeah that tracks
23:06 <Lumindia> it's 15 on Amazon US
23:07 <Cepheid> Let's see..
23:07 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/JMHDgyx.png
23:07 <Cepheid> Looking at a little over $10 CAD if you buy Quebec maple syrup as of... December of last year.
23:08 <Cepheid> At the time, it was $38.55 per gallon.
23:08 <Cepheid> New Brunswick maple syrup was 36.78 a gallon.
23:10 <Cepheid> Long story short, it depends on where you are, relative to producers, I guess.
23:10 <Cepheid> And the type you get.
23:13 <Cepheid> Schism: In theory, head breaking should be easy even with dual blades. So long as you're aiming towards the head region, it'll eventually break, even if you only hit like, once or twice here and there.. Helps if your pets have impact weapons.
23:13 <Cepheid> The pets really like to aim at the head I find.
23:14 <Cepheid> Also, head slamming into walls.
23:14 <Cepheid> Y, then hit B, then re-aim, Y, hit B, re-aim, etc.
23:19 <Schism> More useful if you can actually mount the thing, but yeah.
23:19 * Schism calls her mom. Her mom doesn't deadname her. She basks in a little happiness.
23:19 <Cepheid> Use your silkbind skills(With weapons drawn, ZL+X or ZL+A), they contribute towards mounting damage.
23:19 <Cepheid> That's what the blue numbers are.
23:21 <Lumindia> O wO
23:21 * Lumindia boops Schism!
23:25 <Schism> Ah, I see!
23:25 * Schism also boops Lumindia with a palamute.
23:25 <Lumindia> bork
23:28 * Cepheid goes off to fight a teegrex.
23:40 <Cepheid> Hum. Hits hard for a village 6* target.
