01:34 * Ali grabs Dappled for snugs
01:35 * Dappled snugs Ali. Friend!
01:47 * Ali snugs and noms on a Dappled ear
01:52 * Dappled ear flaps all the more
01:52 <Dappled> So what's happening?
01:52 <Ali> Not much here to be honest
01:53 * Dappled sends cannibals after Ali's settlement thingy
01:53 * Ali already lost a tribe due to scythers....is not happy about that.
01:55 * Dappled ponders what to do.
01:59 * Ali doesn't know, but lounges on Dappled
01:59 * Dappled continues to be comfy.
02:00 * Dappled can't play Demon's Souls. Child is watching netflix, though I hope she goes to bed soon.
02:03 * Ali protects the Dappled from the ankle muncher
02:03 <Dappled> Ali's the best.

03:38 * Schism offers Dappled some leftover curry and associated Indian food.
03:48 <Schism> https://reductress.com/post/gaslighting-this-store-keeps-items-on-its-website-even-after-theyve-sold-out/ - I needed to read this tonight.

04:02 * Ali noms on foxtail
04:04 * Schism tailwiggles. Is tired fox.
04:07 <PinkieShy> I'm in so much pain at the moment :(
04:08 <PinkieShy> Did more yard work today (Probably should have waited a few days) but did any ways.. Now my chest hurts and my neck hurts to even turn my head
04:08 <PinkieShy> Cutting down braches and that heavy lifting to move those branches take alot of work :(
04:10 <Schism> Oof... it does. And I still have a shoulder ache from the other day...

04:41 <Ali> First off, women playing Magic? Its a rare sight
04:41 * Ali flops over Schism and nums ears
04:44 * Schism squeaks in an Ali-like manner. Cutely, that is.
04:50 * Ali calls Schism cute then
04:50 * Schism ish not cute!
04:51 * Schism isn't cute unless Ali is.
04:51 <Ali> Then why did you squeak cutely
04:51 <Schism> A cute squeak is not the same as general cuteness.
04:54 <Schism> Also, Ali: first two panels. https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2014-05-15
04:55 <Schism> (And that 'Louder!' in panel 5 was most definitely not Rainbow Dash.)
04:55 <Ali> Pretty much
04:55 <Ali> Again I do wonder
04:55 <Ali> They have a better M/F representation in that comic than what it feels like it is with MTG
04:55 <Ali> Its like 95/5 if not lower
04:57 <Schism> EGS does tend to be like that.
04:57 * Ali rolls around the Schism
04:58 * Schism is flump, is floof.
04:58 <Ali> You not floof, you don't EEEEEEEEEEEEE and knead face and demand mangos
04:58 * Schism is... fluff, then?
04:58 * Ali puts Tia on Schism, she's meowing and wanting attentions.
04:59 * Schism holds very still. Knows Tia has claws.
04:59 <Ali> Oh and she's not afraid to knead them into you
05:00 <Ali> Its why I have covers on almost all the time

05:02 * Dappled eats pizza to establish dominance.
05:03 * Schism puts pineapple on pizza, thus ensuring that she'll be one of the only people to eat it.
05:03 * Dappled glares at Schism. That was alfredo sauce, not tomato.
05:03 <Schism> Spinach alfredo?
05:03 <Dappled> Chicken.
05:03 <Schism> Ah, also quite good.
05:04 * Schism wouldn't put pineapple with alfredo sauce.
05:04 * Dappled nods.

05:04 <Schism> I would, however, put pineapple with chicken and tomato sauce.

05:05 * Dappled likes Alfredo sauce.
05:06 <Schism> Hah. Sam's fixation on pockets seems weird at first blush, until you realize that he's trans-masc. https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2014-06-12
05:07 * Dappled is losing pockets... Makes more mistakes?
05:07 * Schism will be losing pockets too. "On the plus side, purse?"
05:07 <Dappled> Ah. The big carry pocket.
05:08 <Schism> https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=march-10-2021
05:10 <Dappled> Honestly, I don't carry enough stuff to need more than women's pockets anyway. Phone, headphones, wallet, Keys (on caribeener), sharpie, and box knife.
05:11 <Schism> You could maybe fit the sharpie into a jean pocket.
05:12 <Dappled> Maybe? I fit all of those into women's jeans almost every day.
05:12 <Schism> Oh! Okay then.
05:12 <Dappled> There's no maybe there.
05:13 * Schism foxyshrug. "Seemed too much...!" Oh well. She knows she'll need to get a purse, tho.
05:13 * Dappled wouldn't be able to carry a purse while working. They get upset with bags around the merchandise for some reason.
05:13 <PinkieShy> yay :D
05:13 <PinkieShy> WorldEdit is now installed in Minecraft :D
05:13 <PinkieShy> Now the fun is doubled!! :D
05:14 * Dappled reduces PinkieShy's build height?
05:14 <PinkieShy> :O
05:14 * Dappled also considers checking out that new snapshot.
05:14 <PinkieShy> I've done it :D
05:14 <PinkieShy> Its pretty nice.
05:23 * Dappled 's also taken to wearing a trans flag bow in their hair at work.
05:24 <Schism> Noice. <3
05:24 * Schism has her trans flag shoes.
05:25 <Schism> Tis strange, upon consideration. SUPPOSEDLY the rate of trans folks is about one in a hundred and fifty people? Which I can believe! But my monkeysphere is heavily skewed towards that sort of thing.
05:28 * Dappled has no idea.
05:29 * Schism shrugs again. And boops Dappled with a dress.
05:30 * Dappled wanders off to put a dress on.
05:35 *** Dappled is now known as Shadowed
05:35 * Shadowed flops back in, wearing a blue dress.

05:36 <Shadowed> Mine won't load. Just crashes and MultiMC tells me something about using different versions of Java, so i think I need to reinstall Java.
05:37 <Schism> Evidently Vanquish is pretty good? Also, eww...
05:38 <Schism> Futzing about with Java is something best done when either heavily drunk or utterly bored.
05:40 * Schism giggles, rereading EGS. "Yup. Tedd being given the ability to turn into a girl by an immortal... is just a tad redundant." She also wishes she lived in Moperville, but that's a different matter.

07:58 <Schism> And such a high-profile one that other scammers were getting terribly upset at the perpetrators for drawing attention.
08:02 <Schism> And evidently there were folks who genuinely did order seeds, and then were confused by receiving them? Also, the fact that the seeds were labeled 'jewelry' seems very off indeed, except that this is a way to bypass customs.
08:10 <Finwe> Schism: No. I've actually never baked bread myself, if we do not count participating in grandmother's baking when I was child.
08:10 <Schism> Beer bread is actually a variety of quickbread. Needn't be kneaded, just mixed, poured, and baked.
08:10 <Schism> It is also delicious, especially if you top it with extra melted butter to give it a crispy crust.
08:11 <Finwe> There's something called vörtlimpa in which the wort is used as liquid instead of water.
08:12 <Schism> Ah, a variety of rye bread.

08:31 * Schism looks herself in the mirror. "Okay. So I'm supposedly 34, nearly 35..."
08:36 <ConfusionRift> In the case of the iPhones, they were sending iPhone boxes with clay in them. And as for the GPUs, they would send either NOT a GPU, or a throwaway GPU that will never work properly.
08:36 <Schism> Weird... for $1, you get what you pay for, but those iPhones, ugh.

08:43 <ConfusionRift> The problem was that they were cards that were supposed to be high end, but they were just rigged old cards. So they would sell you a GTX 980, and you would receive a GT 630 firmware flashed to act as a GTX 980. So you end up having just a mess of software and hardware issues.

16:27 * Cepheid is mostly curious about an abnormality, and wonders if it's related to diabetes.
16:27 <Cepheid> Mainly, every now and then I find my vision blurs up despite my glasses. Wondering if that's high blood-glucose interfering. Strangely, it only affects the left eye.
16:28 <Cepheid> Which leads me to wonder if it's less diabetes, and more just swelling/pressure against the left eye due to sinus/nasal issues, thus changing it's shape ever so slightly.
16:33 * Cepheid works to get wall production up and running ASAP in Factorio. Mostly because there are no cliffs so now walls can be placed properly, and because desert.
16:34 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Story: PONY Legacy (Update Complete!) [ https://tinyurl.com/ykxd46zv ]
16:38 * Schism does indeed wear glasses. Also, hums, "The pressure theory sounds correct."
16:40 <Cepheid> 'Cause right now, my older glasses are more effective than my newer ones, especially for the left eye.
16:42 * Schism nods, "Those sorts of pressures can absolutely change your prescription -- really, similar to how high blood sugar does that."
16:43 <Schism> "I can lift a car!" "Whose car did you lift?" "That's not important right now."
16:46 <Cepheid> Well, I'll see soon enough I suppose. My blood sugar's a bit high due to breakfast, so when it comes back down I'll swap back to the new glasses and see if there's a distinct change.

16:55 <Schism> Spaghetti's more fun.

16:58 <Cepheid> Course the problem is, I don't know how to DO spaghetti layouts.
16:58 <Ali> I got so close to what I felt was going to be a decent base
16:58 <Ali> But then the modules I need is insane
16:58 <Ali> And production of said modules is slow as hell.
16:59 * Lumindia hugs Ali muchly
16:59 <Lumindia> Henlo~
17:01 <Ali> My problem is the blue circuits, its slow to make them, and they need so many greens that it really stresses the system
17:01 *** Joins: ArchPegasusMichael (Poni@Keep.In.A.Friendly.And.Pony.Place)
17:02 <Cepheid> That's the downside to the bus, yeah.
17:03 <Ali> Well I don't know how crazy the demand gets for blues
17:03 <Ali> but this one blueprint can only crank it up to like 3/s
17:04 <Ali> And it needs a massive amount of modules
17:04 <Ali> And considering level 2 and 3 modules need 5 circuits each
17:05 <Cepheid> Somehow we managed to avoid the problem somewhat on the server.
17:05 <Ali> Not to mention the eventual power issues of running such a heavy module system
17:05 <Ali> How so?
17:05 <Cepheid> We got all 3 level 3 modules being produced. Level 4 and above(Modded server, which includes higher-tier modules) are a problem though.
17:05 <Ali> Ah right, the space thing
17:06 <Cepheid> Our solution involved a setup that allowed for easy beaconing of the greens, and just eat through copper and iron like mad.
17:06 <Ali> I kinda gave up on that modset, made my brain hurt too much trying to understand everything and even then, having problems moving things from one place to another.
17:06 <Cepheid> Well I won't have to worry about iron here. Got a 2.5m patch just next door.
17:06 <Ali> 2.5m doesn't last all that long~
17:07 <Cepheid> No, but it should last for my purposes.
17:07 <Cepheid> The goal here is to launch a rocket solo, rather than in multiplayer.
17:07 <Ali> My issues tend to be when you have only like 3 oil wells for like 50 chunks in every direction
17:07 <Cepheid> I've yet to launch a rocket solo.
17:07 <Ali> Good luck with it
17:07 <Ali> Its a challenge
17:07 <Cepheid> My big concern here is the desert.
17:07 <Ali> Oh lord, stink central
17:07 <Cepheid> Pollution's gonna be a problem.
17:07 <Ali> Just don't bum rush things
17:07 <Cepheid> It was in the previous attempt that had cliffs enabled, due to same situation.
17:08 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-jnroht.dynamic.sonic.net)
17:08 <Ali> And probably get a radar early to scan for close bases
17:08 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'm building up walls first so I can wall off three directions, then build in a chosen direction.
17:08 <Ali> I still have the issue with there only being three power sources
17:08 <Cepheid> I'm gonna go nuclear the whole way.
17:09 <Cepheid> Once I get to it anyways.
17:09 <Ali> Solar is so mat heavy and really needs bots to place them all, and nuclear is a pain to just build at first, but is quite strong once its up, but needs hand fed attention until the full logic system is unlocked
17:11 <Cepheid> I'm fine with the fed-attention thing.
17:11 <Cepheid> Especially since the usual designs have storage for produced steam, so even if I forget to load the reactors after a while, I still have time to fix it.
17:12 <Ali> Yeah, my blueprint one will send out an alert when the reactors are completely empty, and have lights to show how much in percent there is in storage.
17:20 <Cepheid> Nope body, I'm not listening to you this time. I need to do something other than sit around, mope, and read all day.
17:21 <Ali> The thing about cliffs in Factorio
17:21 <Ali> They can be defensive
17:21 <Ali> but most of the time they're just in the way and all over the place.
17:22 <Cepheid> That's the problem I had with them.]
17:22 <Cepheid> They were severely in the way.
17:23 <Cepheid> For some reason the game is biased towards generating a nearly-closed ring of cliffs around the starting point.
17:24 <Ali> I mean it could be good for base defense, but expansion gets hosed by it.
17:40 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony.
17:41 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Amelia and Schism; Messrs Cepheid, Lumindia, AppleDash and uni.
17:41 * Finwe doffs his hat.
17:41 * Ali flops over Finwe
17:50 *** Joins: Tirek (Tirek@Pony-tnvaj4.hzl2.ptd.net)
17:54 <uni> good evening, Finwe
17:54 * uni salutes!
18:03 <Schism> Heehee. https://www.buttersafe.com/2012/07/26/your-fortune/
18:03 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

18:12 <Schism> Almost worktime.
18:12 * Schism hums, streeeeetches, ows.
18:12 <Finwe> o3o
18:16 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail and on uni in general.
18:16 * uni whine as he's chewed on
18:17 <uni> editing DNS records at 0200, what a life
18:29 <Cepheid> I honestly wish I could get a job in my field. It'd be nice, but given how long I've been out of post-secondary with no work in my field, no one's gonna hire me for it.
18:31 <uni> ooh what's your field?
18:32 <Finwe> The real numbers. o3o
18:33 <Finwe> Actually, Galois field GF(q) for every prime number q. o3o
18:33 <uni> my mind has been like treacle recently
18:38 <Cepheid> uni: Computer Science. More oriented towards computer programming in general.
18:38 <uni> ooh I see
18:38 <uni> that field is like super saturated now isn't it?
18:38 * Shadowed chews on stuff.
18:38 * uni provides Shadowed a sweet
18:38 <Cepheid> Super-saturated, yes, and demanding of a higher degree than what I have.
18:39 * Shadowed has been provided with treacle?
18:39 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)
18:40 <uni> mhmm!
18:40 <uni> to both things
18:40 <uni> I think that CS is super saturated with the programmer types who can program well enough, but can't design a system to save their life
18:41 <uni> too bad management can't distinguish the two
18:41 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure I'm part of that.
18:41 <uni> I dunno, like I don't think it's a self-assessable sort of thing
18:42 <Cepheid> Well, to be honest I haven't had much experience in the system analysis and design aspect.
18:43 <uni> haha neither do I
18:43 <Cepheid> I need a job doing it in the first place to get practice.
18:43 <uni> do you have any personal projects?
18:43 <Cepheid> College and university can only teach so much. And yeah, I have a lot of personal projects in varying states of completeness.
18:44 <Cepheid> Also, to be honest, if I'm hypercritical of myself right now, that may have to do with the depression I've been going through for the last TWO AND A HALF MONTHS.
18:44 <uni> yeah probably
18:45 <Cepheid> Depression's a hell of a [REDACTED]
18:46 <Cepheid> I'm trying my best to combat it, by playing video games to distract me from the depression. The actual cause of it, I know what it is, it's just there's not a lot I can do about it.
18:46 <Cepheid> It's a combination of being jobless(Resolved, now, for the time being), having accrued debt with my parents(To be resolved), and concerns about my future wellbeing, and all sorts of stuff. It's basically a midlife crisis. "What am I doing with my life?"
18:48 <uni> mhmm
18:50 <Cepheid> What I would like to know..
18:50 <Cepheid> Is why do I need fluency in French and English for a programming job?
18:51 <uni> just Canada things
18:51 <uni> well companies here sometimes require fluency in Chinese
18:51 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, I can't match that requirement.
18:51 <Cepheid> I am not fluent in French.
18:51 <Cepheid> Hearing impairment. Was pulled out of all classes during my childhood.
18:51 <uni> well as long as you can understand it somewhat
18:51 <uni> oh
18:54 <Cepheid> About all I know is tabernak. And that's because my parents taught it to me with the express intent of telling the French to go [REDACTED] themselves. My parents are NOT a fan of the French, which is hilarious as they both grew up in French-speaking neighbourhoods, and spoke primarily French.
18:56 <Finwe> J'aime ça en tabarnak.
18:57 <Finwe> Ou est-ce que c'etait "c'est plate en tabarnak"?
18:57 <Cepheid> If I had to give an answer as to "why?" I'd have to assume it's related to their backgrounds.
18:58 <Cepheid> My father, and his father, are of French origin. My guess, their ancestors didn't like France for whatever reason, and came to Canada, but had the same problems with the Quebecois as they did in France.
18:58 <uni> what's tabernak?
18:58 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, my mother's side, most likely due to her father being an arse to anyone and everyone, creating lots of animosity.
18:59 <Cepheid> uni: Think the F bomb.
18:59 <uni> eeek okay
19:00 <Cepheid> In all, it amounts to "I can't speak French due to a myriad of issues. And you don't want me to anyways."
19:01 <Finwe> It's probably a corrupted form of "tabernacle".
19:02 <Finwe> https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabernacle_(Bible)
19:03 <Cepheid> More or less.
19:03 <uni> wow til
19:04 <Finwe> As to why, I don't know.
19:05 <uni> well humanity has a history of corrupting holy words into swears
19:05 <Finwe> Maybe they swore by the tabernacle and then it just changed form.
19:05 <Finwe> The French use, among others, "sacre bleu", or "holy blue".
19:06 <Finwe> Whereas in German you could say "Donnerwetter", or "Thunderstorm weather".
19:06 <Finwe> Swedish has one of the strangest I know, "sjutton också", or "also seventeen".
19:08 <Finwe> And the Russians…
19:12 <Finwe> Well, anyone who's ever played anything online has probably seen the idiomatic words "Иди на хуй", "сука блять" and "курва".
19:13 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
19:13 <Finwe> Miss Angeline.
19:13 * Finwe hats on Ali and doffs himself.
19:19 <Schism> "If you think about it, zelda versus sheik is kinda like fight club"
19:32 <Cepheid> Can't play anymore. Nausea and hyperventilating. Gods I hope this doesn't affect my work.
19:35 * Shadowed chews on all the things.
19:39 * Ali grabs Shadowed and noms on their skirty skirt
19:40 * Shadowed noooos! Not the skirty skirt!

20:29 * Shadowed also looked up how to fix my java error. Apparently the 1.17 and higher uses a different java thingy, so you have to tell MultiMC to use that version instead of what's installed normally. It's weird.
20:37 <Cepheid> Different versions of the language, thus different runtimes needed, yeh.
21:19 * Schism flumps. "One can have multiple versions of Java installed upon their system."
21:20 <Schism> And pointing Minecraft's executable - which is really a call to the executable with various items - towards the version of Java it runs in tends to be the solution."
21:21 <Shadowed> Yeah, but the latest stable release of Java is usually enough.
21:22 <Shadowed> When it wants to be /stuuuupid/ I have to go looking for fixes.
21:26 * Schism also noms upon her lamb and spinach jalfrezi.
21:26 <Schism> I know...
21:27 * Shadowed has apple cinnamon fig bars.
21:27 * Schism has a stupid amount of leftover Indian cuisine. o3o
21:28 <Schism> Apple Fig Newtons are tasty, tho...!
21:29 <Shadowed> This is true
22:02 * Lumindia boops Shadowed
22:02 <Lumindia> silly pony
22:04 * Shadowed wriggles at boops.
22:08 <Lumindia> hen lo
22:08 <Lumindia> <3
22:08 * Lumindia applies snugs
22:09 * Shadowed snugs back. How is it going?
22:09 <Lumindia> I won a 16m mount yesterday in a cosplay contest
22:09 <uni> ooh what'd you cosplay as?
22:09 <Lumindia> in XIV, of course
22:09 * Shadowed also wishes to know.
22:10 <Lumindia> I went as Chai-Nuzz
22:10 <Lumindia> even wrote a skit for it
22:10 <Shadowed> Skirts are important.
22:10 <Lumindia> apparently it was mostly the skit that won the judges over
22:12 * Shadowed knows what she said.
22:18 <Lumindia> ... wait I didn't even see what you said
22:18 <Lumindia> kek
22:19 <Shadowed> You said Skik, I said Skirt.
22:19 <Shadowed> skit.
22:19 <Shadowed> Nya
22:19 <Lumindia> silly pony
22:19 * Lumindia boops
