04:10 <Schism> Phew.  That was a night.  Irony is, starting an hour earlier actually helped my mood a lot.

04:11 <ADragonDreaming> noice

04:12 <Schism> Basically, I had an hour with no calls, no customers, just glorious, wonderful casework.

04:14 <Schism> Ali: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572679354228670465/884280984458108959/image0.png

04:17 <Ali> Bug Catcher Joey wants to battle

04:18 <Ali> And I know that's not the right name, just giving it one :P

04:20 <Schism> Hum.  20 trillion more cookies and I'll get a vital upgrade...

04:20 * Schism lets it run, and loads up monhan.

05:02 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony.

05:02 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

05:02 * Schism doffs her pumpernickel bread with spinach dip.

05:02 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Schism and Tiffany; Messrs ADragonDreaming, AppleDash, Cepheid, Dappled, Lumindia an PinkieShy.

05:03 * Finwe doffs his hat.

05:03 * PinkieShy nomfs the hat

05:03 <Schism> Tis nice of Cookie Clicker to still let us save scum.

05:04 <Schism> Not that I'd cheat or anything.

05:04 * Ali noms on Schism's cookies

05:04 * Finwe gently shoos PinkieShy off his hat.

05:04 <Finwe> !shoo

05:04 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"

05:05 <Ali> I wish I could save scum Motorsport Manager, cause hell I dont' know how I"m going to beat this stupid team

05:05 * Schism nuuus, she only has 1 trillion left until her next upgrade...

05:05 * Schism also blehs at that.

05:06 * Ali puts a boss cookie in the way of that upgrade, it needs 7 trillion damage in 30 seconds to defeat!

05:06 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

05:06 <Finwe> Breakfast tiem? :3

05:06 * PinkieShy nomfs Finwe's tail

05:06 <Finwe> !me tail-wiggles.

05:06 * Finwe tail-wiggles.

05:06 <DerpyBot> *wigglewiggle*

05:06 <PinkieShy> Quick some pony nomf my tail and create a train of events :D

05:06 * Schism bolsters cookie production from 24 to 31 billion/sec.

05:07 <Finwe> Schism: Funnily, in Finland, pumpernickel is a kind of gingerbread biscuit topped with pink sugar glazing.

05:08 <Schism> Huh. Not so great with spinach dip.  Here it's just a dark rye.

05:08 <Finwe> Like this: https://cdn.valio.fi/mediafiles/d3006e70-a244-4b32-9326-be9c1c485bf1/1000x752-recipe-hero/4x3/pumpernikkelit.jpg

05:09 <Finwe> But yes, the origin of the name is in Germany, where it is a kind of hard rye bread.

05:10 <Finwe> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpernickel

05:14 <Schism> 90 trillion cookies required for Kitten Engineers...

05:15 * Finwe checks statistics on rye production.

05:16 <Finwe> Canada produces more rye than the USA, despite huge difference in population and amount of arable land. o3o

05:16 <Schism> 330,000 metric tons from Canada.  o3o

05:16 <Schism> Canadians also drink more rye than the USA, I suspect.

05:16 <Finwe> Rye whisky?

05:17 <Schism> Aye.

05:18 <Finwe> The production in the EU has gone down by 2 million tons since 2010 or so.

05:42 * Finwe boops Ali with the only operational Tiger tank in the world: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Tiger_131_%287527948486%29.jpg

05:44 <Finwe> A bit poor design as it still has vertical armour on the front side, unlike the later Panther and Tiger II.

05:57 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:01 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift as unicorn can't figure out why her cars are shit against the top teams in MM..

06:03 <ConfusionRift> I really don't know. Feels like the game cheats for the sake of "difficulty".

06:10 <Ali> Basically.  I mean this team has won the title from '16-'24

06:10 <Ali> And nobody can touch them, they just beat the living snot out of you every race.

06:10 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

06:10 <Finwe> o7

06:11 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

06:11 <Finwe> Ali: You should invest in better racers and bleding-edge technology. o3o

06:12 <Finwe> It's a known fact that with more powerful engines and more skillful drivers your cars finish on the top of the list.

06:13 <ConfusionRift> That's not even the issue. If I remember correctly, they tend to start at pole position, they always banking on the front, and they rarely do anything other than remain in top position.

06:14 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: Most motorsports are within specific classes, and have set rules to how much HP, weight, and torque a car can have in the race.

06:14 * Schism nearly flops to sleep, but then remembers she hasn't yet taken her pills tonight. So she does.

06:15 * Ali baps Finwe with a bill for $2 a race cycle

06:15 <Ali> I forgot the M

06:16 <Ali> I lose $2M a race

06:16 <ConfusionRift> Hence why NASCAR, Formula 1, and GT aren't found as exciting.

06:16 <Ali> Ever finish 5-6

06:16 * Schism randomly passes Ali some Plusle and Minun. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572679354228670465/884305420984938516/unknown-44.png

06:16 <Ali> That's not vee :T

06:16 <Schism> No, but is still cute.

06:17 <Finwe> Ali: $2 indeed sounded rather cheap. o3o

06:17 <ConfusionRift> She meant $2M, and in two million. :P

06:17 <Ali> Yeah, forgot the M.  I'm basically bleeding out $20M a year just to race.

06:18 <Finwe> But if that's your stategy, then you just need to have loads of money.

06:18 <Finwe> o3o

06:18 <Ali> Finwe, I need the Road Car Factory in game

06:18 <Ali> But it costs $65M to build, takes 50 weeks to build, but will return 1.5M a race in cash

06:18 <Ali> So it will help on my money issues, but it will be two years before its finished.

06:18 <ConfusionRift> ...huuuuh?! That's not how... blarg, it's a game.

06:19 <Ali> Yeah, its the create a team mode ConfusionRift

06:19 <Ali> You get all your money upfront, and need to keep the book balanced until or if you can turn a profit

06:19 <Ali> Which...takes about 10 years if not more in Endurance.

06:22 <Finwe> Is it real-time?

06:23 <Finwe> That would be a bit excessive, I guess.

06:24 <ConfusionRift> In game, for sure. :P

06:53 * ConfusionRift would not be playing a game that requires him to wait for something to get done in real time.

06:54 <ConfusionRift> That's just... urgh. 10 actual years. That would be ridiculous.

06:58 <Lumindia> why am I awake

06:58 <Lumindia> just to suffer?

06:58 <Ali> Cause you Terraria and 14 too much

06:58 * Ali sits on Lumindia and puffycheeks

07:00 <Ali> ConfusionRift, its not 'real time' but each race is six hours simulated.

07:00 <ConfusionRift> The length of most races.

07:01 <Ali> Well its not the 'normal' setting

07:01 <Ali> But it feels the most accurate

07:03 <Finwe> Is the simulation run for six hours or is it a shoter simulation of a six hours' race?

07:04 <Finwe> *shorter

07:05 <Ali> Well you COULD let it run for six hours

07:05 <Ali> But it can be sped up by 12

07:07 <Finwe> So six hours bevcomes 30 minutes.

07:07 <Finwe> *becomes

07:08 * Finwe renders Ali's racing cars pink and fluffy.

07:09 * Ali is not flufflepuff

07:12 * Finwe ruffles Ali a bit and considers rendering even her pink.

07:12 * Ali thinks that would clash with her eye color, which was already pinkish

07:13 <Finwe> o3o

07:14 * Finwe has blue eyes with a hint of grey.

07:17 * Ali stares at the windows temperature thing, randomly saying AQI is 87

07:18 <Finwe> Lower is better, roight?

07:18 <Finwe> 11 here, if aqicn.org is to be trusted.

07:19 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

07:20 <Ali> Getting close to 100 means the air is getting pretty bad

07:22 <Finwe> 100 is the lower limit for when it's dangerous to sensitive people.

07:24 <Ali> HAH, got rid of the ERS.

07:25 <Finwe> The European Respiratory Society?

07:25 <Ali> No, the Energy Recovery System

07:57 * Dappled chews on stuff.

07:58 * Dappled has won one round of Enter the Gungeon, but hasn't managed the true ending yet, so the quest continues.

07:58 * Dappled lays on Ali and chews the sticks!

07:59 * Finwe noms on Dappled's dungeon runs.

08:00 * Dappled leans against Finwe too. So many guns.

08:02 <Finwe> Dappled: But wait! Then there's Exit the Gungeon.

08:03 <Dappled> Yes. But I have to assemble the bullet that can kill the past before I can Exit the Gungeon.

08:04 * Finwe boops Dappled with Resourceful Rat.

08:05 <Dappled> Yeah, I haven't gotten past the second secret level. So I only see the Rat take my stuff.

08:05 <Finwe> o3o

08:06 * Finwe noms on Dappled's tuff.

15:55 <Cepheid> I'm not surprised.

15:58 <Cepheid> Where's the University of Waterloo?

15:58 <Finwe> "Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology"

15:58 <Schism> Cepheid: Waterloo, of course.

15:58 <Finwe> Ah, it's not a real university.

15:58 <Schism> (Literally just down the street from me.)

15:58 <Cepheid> Schism:  I meant on the ranking. :P

15:59 <Finwe> Schism: It is. It's #151–200 woldwide and 7th best in Canada.

16:00 <Finwe> University of Toronto is the best in Canada and #22 worldwide.

16:00 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1434885262216151045 Schism, so I was to deliver this guy to Elis for the olympics, and, well, this happened.

16:00 <Cepheid> University of Waterloo is one of the best tech schools in Canada.  I'd never get in.

16:00 <Finwe> Followed by Uni of BC, McGill and McMaster on national level.

16:01 <Finwe> Montreal and Calgary rank also a bit better than Waterloo.

16:01 <Schism> Dunno about that, but placement is pretty tricky.

16:02 <Cepheid> No, I'd never get in.  Not with the way university is going for me, and honestly?

16:02 <Cepheid> I'm not even sure it'd be a good idea.

16:02 <Cepheid> I seem to have "problems" with post-secondary education.

16:04 * Schism mms.

16:29 <Schism> https://twitter.com/TheKiller7InRE4/status/1434600838912118786 - at random.

16:29 <uni> mhmm!

16:29 <uni> which is like in 3 weeks

16:29 <uni> I move in to accomodation in like 2.5

16:29 <Finwe> Oh, our semester starts this week.

16:29 <Schism> Have you bought shoes for the new school season yet?

16:30 * Schism twitches.

16:30 <Finwe> The Schism webshop has good offers. o3o

16:30 <Finwe> I've already forgot which one it was.

16:30 <Schism> I joke, of course.  And I work for Converse -- it's just the last few weeks have been pure hell.

16:31 <Schism> Parents screaming, "How can you be sold out of the black high tops, that's the biggest item on your store, just have the factory make more NAO!"

16:31 <Finwe> Schism: A hectic conversation?

16:32 <Finwe> Or quite on the converse?

16:32 <Schism> Everyone's buying shoes for their kids and whining that next day shipping won't arrive the next day, or that it's absolutely vital that they arrive ASAP, or returning boatloads leading to a warehouse backlog...

16:33 * uni giggles

16:33 <uni> sorry for laughing

16:33 <uni> but like, retail

16:33 <Schism> And I'm like 'dood.  You've had four months since you knew school was opening back up.  Don't even start.'

16:33 * Finwe noms on uni's (re)tail.

16:34 * uni (re)squeaks

16:34 <uni> I have a very nice pair of boots that I plan to wear

16:34 <uni> waterproof, steel-toe, zippers

16:34 * Schism nodnods.

16:34 *** Joins: Librarian (Librarian@Pony-msh.407.137.201.IP)

16:34 <Schism> Good for the winter months in particular.

16:35 * Schism boops the Librarian with a bottle of ink.

16:35 <Finwe> Mr Librarian.

16:35 * Finwe doffs his hat.

16:35 <uni> yay~

16:35 <Finwe> uni: Zippers are absolutely haram.

16:35 * uni pouts at Finwe

16:36 <uni> zippers are convenient!

16:36 <uni> I spent like four months having to lace boots every morning

16:36 <Finwe> I have a pair of Swiss winter boots, a pair of Royal Army winter boots, a pair of mountaineering boots and a pair of ski boots for the winter.

16:38 <Schism> The Nabisco plant in Richmond, Virginia had many workers walk off the lines due to worker solidarity.  The supervisors attempted to take over production, which resulted in a giant plume of flour, which is just a bit of a workplace safety hazard.

16:39 <Schism> Flour distributed through the air + ignition source = fun times.

16:39 *** Quits: Librarian (Librarian@Pony-msh.407.137.201.IP) (Quit: Connection closed)

16:39 <uni> that is many, many boots Finwe

16:40 <uni> Schism, hehe it's always funny when management tries to do the work but fails

16:41 <Finwe> I also have Swiss army standard issue boots model 1990 and MilTec desert boots with, to my shame, zippers.

16:41 * Schism patpats the Finwe.

16:41 <Finwe> And white-soled rubber boots for sailing.

16:42 <Finwe> Black soles leave nasty marks on the deck.

16:43 <Cyan_Spark> uni: why don't you have confidence in local universities?

16:45 <Finwe> Maybe he has some insight in the matter or something.

16:47 <uni> zippers!

16:47 <uni> also like I took mods in NUS before

16:47 <uni> it was an experience

16:48 <Cyan_Spark> Ah

16:48 <Cyan_Spark> what's your course?

16:49 <Finwe> Study programme?

16:49 <Finwe> Or whatever.

16:49 <Finwe> Major subject. o3o

16:49 <Finwe> Major Subject. o6

16:49 <Finwe> *o7

16:50 <Finwe> Major Subject serves under General Failure.

16:53 <uni> Cyan_Spark, I took CS in NUS

16:53 <uni> gonna take EEE now

16:53 <Cyan_Spark> Ah

16:53 <Cyan_Spark> Good luck!

16:53 <uni> thanks!

16:53 <Finwe> What's EEE?

16:53 * uni flops across Cyan_Spark

16:53 <Finwe> Electrical Engineering?

16:53 <uni> mhmm!

16:53 <Cyan_Spark> I'm doing Mechanical

16:53 <Cyan_Spark> I do feel like I've learned a lot

16:54 <uni> except it's like hipster now and it's called Electronic and Electrical Engineering

16:54 <Cyan_Spark> but hey, I've only tried one

16:54 <Finwe> Engineering Physics and Mathematics here. o3o

16:54 <uni> oh my~

16:55 <Finwe> With Mathematics major.

16:59 <uni> oooh

17:02 <Finwe> Probably close to your "Mathematical Computation MEng" programme.

17:02 <Finwe> I've also done some medical physics and biomedical engineering.

17:05 * Schism sips tea, applies vanilla to self.

17:08 * Finwe plays Смуглянка-Молдаванка on his flute.

17:10 <Schism> Systemic mistreatment at Paradox Interactive, this is my surprised face.

17:11 * Finwe noms on Schism's Victoria 3.

17:11 * uni flops into bed

17:11 <uni> sleepy

17:11 <uni> good night

17:12 <Finwe> Noight.

17:13 * Finwe tucks uni into bed and sings a lullaby.

17:13 <Cepheid> "Thank you for taking care of the Athenian!  Now we can keep everything we steal!" ... Cute kid.

17:13 <Finwe> As it happens, it's Смуглянка-Молдаванка.

17:32 <Finwe> Miss Ali.

17:32 * Finwe doffs his hat.

17:32 * Schism obtains both a generalized 7x bonus and a 777x clicking bonus. She uses each to its fullest extent.

17:34 <Finwe> Are you playing Shekel Clicker?

17:37 <Schism> Hah, no.

17:37 * Schism anyways, and offers Finwe some of her regular old orange pekoe tea, with raspberry jam and brie on crispbread.

17:37 <Finwe> Cookie Clicker then?

17:37 <Schism> Aye.

17:37 <Finwe> Shekel Clicker is just modified Cookie Clicker.

17:38 <Schism> Ah.

17:38 <Finwe> With a Jewish theme.

17:38 * Schism bumps herself up from 10b to 14b/sec.

17:38 <Finwe> You can build IDF, Holocaust Museums and whatnot.

17:38 <Finwe> New Temple of Sion, IIRC:

17:38 <Schism> I think I'll stick with the cookies.

17:38 <Finwe> And you collect shekels.

17:39 <Schism> https://erikmcclure.com/PonyClicker/ponyclicker.html

17:49 * Ali noms on Schism tails

17:49 * Schism tastes mildly of vanilla.

17:56 <Schism> Hum.  Wouldn't be a bad idea to just get these Barioth Blades real quick.

18:05 <ADragonDreaming> which monhan?

18:09 <Cepheid> Rise, I believe.

18:23 <Schism> Indeed.  Right now, though, I'm looping through LR volcano in order to get loads of ore before I start work.

18:25 <Ali> Well, one of the AI's borked in MM and is pitting every lap but not changing tires.

18:26 <Cepheid> I still need to find the volcano's rare endemic life.

18:26 <Ali> They've pit 24 times, and are now running around on rims cause they're refusing to change tires to anything but softs

18:33 <Ali> Took them over 40 pit stops to finally put on non soft tires

18:33 <Schism> Mm, that's better.  Buncha dragonite ore...

18:34 <Schism> Be nice if you'd give me some more Toxic Kumori, game.

18:35 * Ali noms on Schism's ore

18:35 <Schism> Also need a Goldenfry.  Heh.

18:35 <Schism> Shrine Ruins, easy enough to get to, just... yeah.

18:37 <ADragonDreaming> I used the poison spider set for my first high rank armor, yeah

18:38 <Schism> Poison resist is a pretty big one.

18:38 * Schism saves off for now, she has work soon.

18:39 <Schism> Not that I need the vast majority of these low-rank sets.  But I'll go through and get them all on general principles.

18:40 <ADragonDreaming> I discovered that tryign to do that was what led me to drop past titles.

18:40 <Schism> I guess that's reasonable...

18:44 <Cepheid> Takes a lot of time to collect those suits, yeah.

18:52 <Schism> At least the low-rank elemental resistances are easy enough to acquire.

18:52 <Schism> And from there it's mostly a matter of what skills will be best.

18:54 <ADragonDreaming> eeyup

18:54 <ADragonDreaming> which is why I skipped over Wroggi and Tetranadon.

18:54 <ADragonDreaming> Those are for ranged weaponry.

21:02 <PinkieShy> Ended up sleeping late so that can't be good.

21:05 <PinkieShy> esp for what i am trying to do for my health

21:10 <Finwe> My short-range goal is to get my MacPorts upgraded.

21:11 <Finwe> But building R seems to fail all the time.

21:13 <Finwe> I'll see if updating TexLive first is of any help.

21:18 * PinkieShy opens up facebook and sees a image of a sign that says "if you are feeling ill, please stay home and corn teen yourself"

21:18 <PinkieShy> yeah.. I think that's enough of facebook for now xD -closes-
