06:12 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
06:13 * Ali flops over the ConfusionRift
06:14 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.
06:14 * Ali nuzzles on ConfusionRift and yawns a little
06:19 * Schism hugs the Ali and the ConfusionRift. She is tired... very tired today.
06:20 <Schism> I don't want to read the news anymore.
06:22 * ConfusionRift yawns as well, though not very tired. Just heard someone yawn. :P
06:23 <Schism> I'm just emotionally tired. Today has not been good.
06:26 * ConfusionRift lightly pats Schism.
06:27 <Schism> I reiterate, anyone in Texas, stay safe... and doubly for anyone in Ukraine.
06:27 *** Joins: Shadowed (IceChat77@Pony-9gn4gl.ok.cox.net)
06:29 * Shadowed chews on a stick agressivily
06:29 * Schism hugs the Shadowed. She's tired and angry tonight too.
06:29 <Shadowed> +
06:30 <Schism> Paxton and Abbott can go jump in a woodchipper.
06:30 <Shadowed> agreed.
06:30 <Schism> Greene, too.
06:30 * Shadowed chews on her keyboard too. Trying to fix her keys sticking in the number pad.
06:33 *** Quits: Pony|93049 (Pony|93049@Pony-taj8dp.cable.virginm.net) (Quit: Connection closed)
06:33 <Shadowed> Okay, I think I fixed it. Yay for pulling keys off. Just like I want to pull teeth from the butt head politicians.
06:34 <Schism> Less 'butt head', more 'actively genocidal'.
06:34 <Shadowed> True.
06:35 * Shadowed 's honestly surprised they beat oklahoma to the punch on this shit.
06:36 <Schism> It remains to be seen whether Florida will adopt Texas' policy first, or Texas will adopt Florida's recent bill. They're racing aaaaaalll the way to the bottom.
06:36 * Shadowed 's really hoping this shit gets struck down in the courts quickly. These can't be legal.
06:36 <Schism> With this SCOTUS?
06:37 <Ali> Can we not go into politics...
06:37 <Schism> Okay, you're the boss.
06:38 * Schism just hugs Shadowed in mutual support.
06:39 * ConfusionRift checks whatever is that's happening,, reads up on it, sighs, then just keep quiet.
06:40 <ConfusionRift> [Uses SKIP card.]
06:41 * Shadowed gives hugs and shares pizza.
06:41 <ConfusionRift> Pizza sounds so good right about now. I might just buy one in the evening.
06:42 <Schism> Another Hawaiian pizza would be nice. But everywhere is closed, as it's 2 in the morning.
06:42 <ConfusionRift> Mmmm, Hawaiian pizza.... (drools)
06:42 * Shadowed picked up a frozen pizza from a gas station on the way home.
06:43 * Shadowed is very angry at work. Could of just done away with half the work for the night or just said don't come in. We had like 1/5 the normal amount of work due to the trucks not running, but they still had us pulling stuff we couldn't load on the trucks and wouldn't be enough to make any difference when we can.
06:44 <ConfusionRift> I'm really tempted to run to the gas station. But it's so cold and windy. -_-
06:44 <Schism> Why are the trucks not running? Just because it's 15F?
06:45 <ConfusionRift> Probably lack of drivers or things still getting queued.
06:45 <Shadowed> Snow on the roads was apparently enough today.
06:45 <ConfusionRift> Oh... never miiiind.
06:46 <Schism> Also, I can understand to some extent the desire to pick and load pallets ahead of time so that they're there when the trucks are actually available. But all-hands during that time? I'm surprised they didn't do VTO.
06:46 <Schism> On the plus side, least you got paid in full for light work.
06:47 <Shadowed> They didn't push people to get in if they tried to call in, so we were also working at half strength. And due to not having the room on the dock to do that 1/5th the work all at once, it took us 5 hours.
06:47 <Schism> Eww.
06:48 <Shadowed> Exactly.
06:49 <Shadowed> Sure I got paid for 5 hours what should have been 2-3 hours of work (I normally work 10+ hour days) but they could have just told everyone to stay home instead.
06:49 * ConfusionRift sips on some water. He didn't just take 4 days off because of cut hours and being left unscheduled.
06:50 * Shadowed would trade in a heartbeat for the chance to not be constantly at work.
06:50 <ConfusionRift> Would if I could.
06:51 * Schism has to go back to work tomorrow... "This vacation was mostly relaxing, up until the end."
06:52 <ConfusionRift> I did nothing in those 4 days. I still feel tired and listless. Tomorrow is gonna be a short day, which is horrible. That means damage control of 4 days in 4 hours.
06:53 <ConfusionRift> I expect people to give me trouble, but don't care. It's why I have been letting everything just slide off, while I keep to the policies and schedule.
06:54 * ConfusionRift shakes his head. "Just gonna start playing something."
06:55 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me. (shows Ali Oranguru full art card) Seems the set got to me a little earlier than it should, and this was in one of the packs. Hurray. :P
06:56 <Ali> Worth $1
06:56 <Ali> WOuldn't know for real
06:56 <Ali> But that would be my luck with finding any V
06:56 <Ali> It being totally worthless
06:56 <ConfusionRift> I think the most expensive card I have found is around $20.
06:57 * Schism waves a set of Moxen at ConfusionRift.
06:57 * Schism also taps her Iron Star. Useful, it is.
06:58 <Ali> I've got rare cards, but nothing that i've opened for modern pokemon
07:00 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony.
07:00 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.
07:00 <Finwe> Looks like we got a war after all.
07:00 <Finwe> Not so surprising, though.
07:00 <ConfusionRift> Since I jumped back in late, it's mostly modern... aside from the messed up fossil set cards, a few original B/W ones, and some from fates collide.
07:00 * Schism doffs her pancake and pea soup. "Indeed. Think you'll be tapped?"
07:01 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz; Mlles Ali, Schism, and Shadowed; Messrs AppleDash, Cepheid, ember, Lumindia, PinkieShy, LightningCrash, and Dranae; Mrs nightwind.
07:01 <Finwe> o7
07:01 * Shadowed taps her stick... Untaps her stick. Easier to chew it this way.
07:01 * ConfusionRift drops Eyes of the Beholder on Schism. :P
07:02 <ember> hello and good night admiral
07:02 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
07:02 * Schism offers ember some vanilla rooibos before they sleep.
07:02 <Schism> (And a wolf biscuit to dip into it.)
07:03 <ConfusionRift> That reminds me, I have to check the rest of those cards... ... ... ... ...but they're all the way over there. -_-
07:03 <Schism> [effort]
07:04 <ember> Oh my, thank you!
07:04 * ember accepts mug and biscuit and begins happily dipping and sipping
07:05 * ember makes contented wolfie noises
07:05 * Schism makes approving fox noises.
07:05 * ConfusionRift borrows Shadowed's stick. Tries to move the deck a bit closer, but it's 1/2 an inch too far. Gives the stick back to Shadowed, then sighs.
07:06 * Shadowed is sorry her stick is substandard, useful only for chewing.
07:06 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)
07:06 * ember wiggles their ears at Schism
07:06 * Schism tailwaves, as foxen do.
07:07 * ember tidies up and then curls up most floofily
07:08 <ConfusionRift> Ali: You were not that far. Card's worth about $4 at the moment.
07:08 <Ali> Not surprising
07:08 <Ali> And why I won't buy packs as pokemon is about 4-6 bucks a pack
07:13 <ConfusionRift> Understandable.
07:18 <ConfusionRift> I'm kinda filling up a binder or two, so I'm fine with more cards. Although, getting too many repeats would just make me stop buying them till the following set.
07:18 * Schism randomly provides Ali with a cute 'mon. https://twitter.com/pichu_no_hito/status/1496469896649187331/photo/1

07:38 <ConfusionRift> But still, that be a lot of 'em.
07:38 * Schism noddles.

07:44 <ConfusionRift> Going back to the Twitter main page was a mistake. (throws SKIP card again)
07:50 <Schism> ConfusionRift: Here, have something better from Twitter. https://twitter.com/NanoRaptor/status/1496751777357565952/photo/1

07:51 <ConfusionRift> Wait, wasn't there a keyboard like this? Or maybe it was a prototype of sorts.
07:51 <Finwe> That's a quite large-scale offensive.
07:51 <Schism> Yeah, anyone who believes that Putin is going to stop at two small regions of Ukraine is deluded.
07:51 <Finwe> You mean "believed".
07:52 <Schism> That too, but some folks will undoubtedly still believe it.
07:52 <Schism> Finwe: With interests aligning, think Finland's going to take any action on this?
07:52 <Finwe> We're a lot easier target than Ukraine.
07:53 <Schism> Mm, true.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh, that's what I thought it looked like. Those curved "ergonomic" keyboards.
07:53 <Finwe> Immediate membership negotiations with NATO would be a welcome change.
07:53 <Schism> ConfusionRift, yeah, I've seen a few of those in my time. Thankfully, THIS particular product never existed, buuut...
07:55 <Finwe> USA, Britain, France and Germany guaranteed safety of Ukraine in exchange for them giving up the Soviet nuclear weapons in the country, but those seem to have been words spoken into wind and long forgotten.
07:59 <Finwe> It's not even limited to Ukraine. A Russian vessel with equipment for cutting undersea data cables was confiscated in Norway yesterday.
08:00 <Schism> It's unsurprising that they're seeking to cut international communications.
08:00 <Finwe> Owned by a close friend of president Putin.
08:53 * Shadowed rolls around on friend ponies. Elden Ring approaches. But might have to work tonight so might not get to play till the weekend.

20:33 <Finwe> About what? The war?
20:33 <Finwe> I share your concerns on that front.
20:34 <Dranae> The war, and the fact Greater Taiwan is stepping up its aggressions on Taiwan.
20:36 <Finwe> Well, now that it's made clear that the international community doesn't care much about the sovereignty of single states, it's easier for any aggressor to escalate their plans.
20:37 <Finwe> Although the situation in China is somewhat special.
20:37 <Finwe> The legal government fortified up in Taiwan and the rebels having become the de facto government on the continent.
