[lone gorge]

i thought dude was in a pond at first

[severe idol]

[hollow drum]

We had a pilot land a commercial jet in the Thames iirc

[severe idol]

sydney missed the aroura cause of that

rain*

[hollow drum]

I'm going to check

[severe idol]

it was from newcastle-Port mquaire

so it wasnt very busy

ik about the hudston

[hollow drum]

Hmm, I cannot find it.

We've had a lot waterborne emergency landings apparently lol

[severe idol]

we havnt had any commercial ones i dont think

[hollow drum]

USA has an airbus 320 land in the Hudson River due to engine failure, that I do remember

Masterful work

[severe idol]

i get to see planes every 10 mins i live under a flight path

they are quiet too

[echo scarab]

same

[severe idol]

a freeway in sydneu going under the aiport the M1 irrc

[hollow drum]

Oh nice. I have a minor airbase near me, so i see military aircraft here and there.

Used to see F16s and other fighters practicing

C130s, but I'm a hour or so away from any commercial airport

[severe idol]

theres a small airport near me in a city, it has prop planes like the one that landed in newcastle

they fly to the small cities and tiny towns

[hollow drum]

We had gliders and trainer aircraft, although I haven't seen any for a while

[severe idol]

i get 2 per day one taking off one landing

BXG-SYD

ive seen gliders

[severe idol]

i see tiny little by planes and light aircraft all around

[hollow drum]

Most aircraft are commercial jets so we won't really see them, as for things like Cesnars, usually the summer they come out. But seems less and less as time goes on.

I used to use flight radar when I was more curious, could seen when they were coming over.

[hallow isle]

Lmao

What they do?

[severe idol]

i only every say the BXG-SYD plane once as it flew over me in the city

[night bobcat]

[hollow drum]

W dsicord

[hollow drum]

[severe idol]

[lone gorge]

nah movies are 1:1 copies of books

[echo scarab]

[brisk jasper]

You do realize that films are almost never accurate to the books they’re based off of

[severe idol]

sarcasm

[echo scarab]

and ill do it again

[severe idol]

i mean i got a medium on a book i skim read

[brisk jasper]

Well, tell me when you don’t, so I can laugh at you

[severe idol]

which is like a 70

[echo scarab]

you are litteraly destroyman III

[brisk jasper]

No? I just laugh at stupidity because it makes me feel better about my own lack of intelligence

[severe idol]

maybe dont be drunk while you watch so you know youll remneber

[echo scarab]

exactly

[brisk jasper]

But I’m also not stupid enough to procrastinate a 2,000 page book

[severe idol]

you know how i never do/did any homework

i did it ALL at school

so i can relax

[echo scarab]

this is you

on the right

[brisk jasper]

You’re in a country with a decent school system that doesn’t require a massive amount of arbitrary busy work?

[severe idol]

which one?

[echo scarab]

ignore blahaj

[severe idol]

ig so

[echo scarab]

the right fat thing

[severe idol]

depends

[echo scarab]

look up all destroyman dialogues and tell me if u relate

[severe idol]

if you do advanced above your year level like year 12 physics in year 10 then yeah

i have some hw but i do it on the bus/in other classes wheni do that work

but not set hw

[hollow drum]

But did you do this at school

[severe idol]

[severe idol]

[hollow drum]

I used to make them during science, had a lot of free time lol

[echo scarab]

im gonna wake up at 5 am tomorrow and watch the film

[severe idol]

I do Physics yay fun :)

[hollow drum]

I took physics and chemistry? It's been a while

For my actual grades I mean

[brisk jasper]

I think I’d have a more intelligent conversation with the brick wall I’m currently slamming my head against

[echo scarab]

erm what the sigma

[severe idol]

i need a 30 in gerneral math, 20 in english and an atar of at leat 65 to get into flight uni

[brisk jasper]

Alright, that’s it, you’re getting the shotgun

[echo scarab]

[severe idol]

[lone gorge]

can you have bows? crossbows etc?

[severe idol]

yes

[lone gorge]

thats good

[severe idol]

no lisence for them

you cna have guns u just need a lisece and a reson like hunting

for if your a farmer

[brisk jasper]

See, here we can own the American 180. It’s described as a “swarm of angry bees”

[hollow drum]

We can, and apparently shoot people in car parks with them 😂

[echo scarab]

i got mine by saying self defense

[lone gorge]

see the reason is what gets ya. cant just recreationally own one

[severe idol]

where tf u live again?

[echo scarab]

i hate how expensive guns are

[echo scarab]

serbia

[lone gorge]

good lord xD

[severe idol]

ah

||Koskovo||

[brisk jasper]

In the US we can own anything short of a minigun. Even then you can buy one if you can find a supplier

[severe idol]

jk

[severe idol]

shocking

[echo scarab]

koskovo 😭😭😭😭😭

[lone gorge]

yet using a bumpstock is illegal

or several weird modifications for no reason

[echo scarab]

its kosovo

[hollow drum]

Duh, it's adds more ammo

[severe idol]

you can have a pistol if your job needs it here

[brisk jasper]

The sheer excessiveness would be comedic if I wouldn’t have to wear a bulletproof vest to the supermarket

[lone gorge]

i use magazines that hold 30 clips xD

[hollow drum]

I was quoting one of your politicians, having their take about guns lol

[brisk jasper]

I can own an anti-material rifle but not a gravity knife.

[echo scarab]

what does bro need that much for

[severe idol]

did anyone see the bondi stabbing?

on tv i mean

[echo scarab]

what are both of those

[lone gorge]

i also was quoting someone who thinks that a magazine holds clips. not rounds of ammo

[brisk jasper]

An anti-material rifle is a sniper meant to take down tanks

[severe idol]

the recoil must be insane

[hollow drum]

I always loved that logic, "I'm not allowed to have a weapon to confront someone, but I can shot someone from over a mile away"

[echo scarab]

and the knife

[hollow drum]

Excuse me? Lmao

[brisk jasper]

A gravity knife is a knife with a cool gimmick

[brisk jasper]

It is, because it uses .50bmg

Or bigger

[lone gorge]

lmao right. imagine trying to be an advocate for something and thats the knowlegde they have on the topic

[echo scarab]

ill look it up

[severe idol]

the bondi stabbing was really bad

[echo scarab]

holy shit i want one

[severe idol]

we dont have mas shooting we have mass stabbings 😢 its really messed up

[echo scarab]

are you in britain

[hollow drum]

I honestly think people who know should only be able to comment on those matters lol

[severe idol]

no

it happened in sydney

[brisk jasper]

I can also buy a fucking Gauss rifle

[hollow drum]

I remember a youtuber using that

It was pathetic

[brisk jasper]

It’s basically an air soft gun

[hollow drum]

The idea is interesting though don't get me wrong

[severe idol]

apparently piracy used to be legal here

[lone gorge]

brandon herrera used it, and matt from demolition ranch lol

[hollow drum]

That's it lol ^

[severe idol]

you can own a katana here i think?

[lone gorge]

idk if kentucky buttlipsticks ever got it

[brisk jasper]

I can also buy this

[lone gorge]

i mean ballistics

[echo scarab]

oh

[hollow drum]

So trespassers?

[severe idol]

(basically britan)

[hollow drum]

Hey no, USA has more stabbings lol

[severe idol]

someone was apprently shooting mozzies here (would that work)

[inner crown]

Kentucky ballistics using this in his vid was gnarly

[hollow drum]

We just don't use guns as often

[severe idol]

shooting mozzies...

[hollow drum]

We can, but I think it is limited to display.

Like scimitars

[echo scarab]

i jeed a ballistic knife

need

[severe idol]

no u do not

[echo scarab]

i do

[hollow drum]

If you can get a glock, just use that lol

[echo scarab]

for uhh self defense

[inner crown]

Just get a normal fixed blade knife it’s basically the same

[lone gorge]

the deadliest thing id ever give you is an epipen

and even thats deadly

[echo scarab]

i have alot of needles

[brisk jasper]

I can buy a fucking revolver chambered in elephant rifle rounds but not affordable health care

[echo scarab]

at bay

like needles as in

[severe idol]

wouldnt one need healthcare in a country of guns?

103 guns per 100

[echo scarab]

both needles to poke and the ones u use to inject stuff

[brisk jasper]

The opposite, because people die too quickly

It’s hard to help someone when they don’t have a head

[hollow drum]

FREEDOM 🇺🇲🦅🔫

[severe idol]

it amazes me usa has 300 million and we have 28 million

[brisk jasper]

Also, a lot of gun owners own several guns

[inner crown]

Corrupt private corporations propped up by even more corrupt government moment

[severe idol]

we have priavte healthcare and public

[brisk jasper]

So the “we have more guns than people” stat is a little misleading

[hollow drum]

We have near 70 million lol, think about that

[severe idol]

but we the best

jk

ik know were not

[hollow drum]

Best be

[echo scarab]

i would aswell if i had the money

[brisk jasper]

The only reason I could think of that could justify me owning guns would be to disintegrate cans and startle the HOA

[lone gorge]

you couldnt get beer, i doubt theyd let you get a gun

[severe idol]

is gun owbership in croatia serbia legal?

here you need a mental check

[hollow drum]

Handgun and hunting rifles are legal in Serbia

[severe idol]

!

well here hunting yes

but not handgun

[brisk jasper]

I mean, in the US the requirements to join the marines is be 18 and know which way the bullets go

[echo scarab]

i have a gun

[lone gorge]

thats scary

[severe idol]

😱

oh no

i dont

i ahve a bow

[echo scarab]

its the uhh

[hollow drum]

They had 2 mass shootings a while ago, and handed in 14k guns, so unsure if the laws are changing there

[brisk jasper]

The joke about the Marines eating crayons is a joke for a reason

[brisk jasper]

I do too

[echo scarab]

i forgot the name

357 something

[severe idol]

yes

[echo scarab]

they do eat crayons

[severe idol]

port arther i belive

soemthing

anyway

[brisk jasper]

.357 magnum, it was a Smith & Wesson iirc

[severe idol]

so you can own a gun in the usa at birth

but carnt drink until 21?

why 21?

[brisk jasper]

No, you must be 18

[severe idol]

to use tho

[brisk jasper]

Well, legally

[echo scarab]

yes that

[lone gorge]

u have a right to bear arms

[severe idol]

you can have a gun lisces here at 12 but you need a fully licesed adult you carnt use the gun without them

if i wanted to visit the usa where and what is there to do?

mt rushmore?

vegas?

[inner crown]

18 for rifles and shotguns, 21 for handguns

[hollow drum]

Diabeetus

Jokes aside, USA has a lot of nice vistas

[severe idol]

apparently supersonic jets will fly from sydney to LA

[brisk jasper]

The US is a decent nation, just has a lot of really blatant problems

[severe idol]

every nation has that

[echo scarab]

wait if i go to the usa rn would i be able to drink?

[brisk jasper]

Doesn’t help that our news is more predatory than the health care system

[severe idol]

your news is fucked

[lone gorge]

21 with an ID

[brisk jasper]

Are you 21 and have any form of recognized ID?

[severe idol]

the ABC here, is ment to be as netral as possbale

[echo scarab]

[lone gorge]

[severe idol]

[brisk jasper]

The news in the US is essentially independent and politically biased

[hollow drum]

I don't know how you guys deal with CNN, CBS and all that

[severe idol]

yeah i just watch ABC

and i watch 10 news and 9 news as well

to get both sides

[echo scarab]

[echo scarab]

north in (central vic) you have ballarat 150k bendigo 130k and another few

werid cause that is less fertile soil

[hollow drum]

Must be something there

[severe idol]

[severe idol]

https://www.theassay.com/articles/analysis/a-new-chapter-unfolding-for-bendigos-golden-story/#:~:text=It also saw Bendigo%2C in,riches from the gold fields.

when these merge offically 3 airports for one city lol- im getting london vibes

[hollow drum]

Did some googling, it was Melbourne that decade.

[severe idol]

huh

makes sence tbh

the gold left australia though melbourne

[hollow drum]

Yeah, exports would of made it a lot of money

[severe idol]

this is the Eurka Tower

was the tallest building in the country for a bit

you can see the gold

[hollow drum]

That's a cool tower

[severe idol]

and do this (no this sint me its on their website)

im not doxxing myself more

[edgy egret]

I'm so salty. I have to work till 6pm on Mondays and Thursdays now for the foreseeable future. At least it's not everyday but still.

[severe idol]

it pops out from the building

[severe idol]

3 day weekend good tho?

[hollow drum]

Well, yeah, look at the latter since that's the brighter picture.

[hollow drum]

Why not? I wanted a pen pal lol

[undone moat]

oh man

[edgy egret]

I only get 3 day weekends every other week

[undone moat]

ATL is a crazy airport

[severe idol]

ive been to 2 airprots in my life

well to go on a plane

so idk what counts as crazy

[lone gorge]

2 airports 1 flight? or 2 diff flights 2 diff airports?

[undone moat]

I've flown like 20 times now I think

[hollow drum]

I work 6 days a week, every week unless there's a bank holiday lol

[severe idol]

1 flight and back same 2 airports

Cairns

and Melbourne

[lone gorge]

gotcha

i been on a plane once but 2 airports lol obv. the one i start at then the one i finished at in florida

[severe idol]

cairns is one runway but its internatioanl and domestic

melbounre airport want busy was there early in the morning

so no traffic on the freeway

[hollow drum]

I've only been on a plane, twice. Over a distance of roughly 120 miles, there and back. I've been in helicopters more than anything

Tell a lie, I went to France during school

[severe idol]

i went 2950 km or 1833.045 miles

and back

[hollow drum]

That's hell of a distance lol.

[severe idol]

3 hours

when i landed in cairns the humdity hit me

i had a headace and basically all the warining lights were on

[hollow drum]

I hate humidity

It's what makes the UK horrible

[severe idol]

it got good after a sleep

one sleep all better

oh and veitmasise noodle salad

[hollow drum]

Vietnamese?

[severe idol]

u have cold humdity dont u

[severe idol]

yes

[hollow drum]

Humity on all temperatures. When it was nearly 40 C the humidity was at 87

[severe idol]

it was 25 and 100%

87 i can handle 100%

no

[hollow drum]

I haven't seen 100 in a little while here. We can have 90 at 9 C

[severe idol]

the air felt differnt when i got back to melbourne

its felt softer

and lighter

[hollow drum]

Humidity makes all the difference. Example, 40C in France is so much more bearable than 40C with English humidity lol

[hollow drum]

What was the altitude difference?

[undone moat]

I live in swampland

[hollow drum]

That doesn't help with humidity

[undone moat]

it does not :(

[hollow drum]

Where are you situated?

[undone moat]

Houston

[severe idol]

almsot none both are coast cities

[hollow drum]

I thought Houston was dry, says how little I know

[undone moat]

very much the opposite

[severe idol]

i thought usa was farmland and cities

[hollow drum]

That's odd, must be the climate then.

USA has almost every biome type lol

Just, some states are more varied than others

[brisk jasper]

Yup

[severe idol]

Townsville City

a real place

we allso ahve main street road

[hollow drum]

Have you got a Bitchfield though?

[brisk jasper]

There’s a radio station in Finland that nonstop plays that spinning seal song

[severe idol]

we have cumboodlecumbay

[hollow drum]

Lmao, touché

[severe idol]

Cumbooglecumbang

acually we have 2 Cumbooglecumbangs

i think

and Hooker Park

[brisk jasper]

Austria (iirc) has the town of Fucking

[hollow drum]

What about.. Fingeringhoe?

[severe idol]

Glory Knob

[brisk jasper]

I’ve done a little research on the topic of Fucking

[hollow drum]

Or twatt lol

[severe idol]

Sented Knob

[hollow drum]

I think they changed it, no?

[brisk jasper]

We just have the towns of Dull and Boring in the US

[severe idol]

Glory Hole Cave

[brisk jasper]

Yes, because tourists kept stealing the sign

[severe idol]

Blowhard Point

[brisk jasper]

Even the mayor was in on the joke. He said “I don’t get the whole Fucking joke” or something like that

[lone gorge]

lolol

[hollow drum]

Yeah, that's right Fugging

[brisk jasper]

I wish they’d stop changing the Fucking name

[severe idol]

theres a place called Nuggetty

in VIC

[hollow drum]

Do you have a uhmm

I can't remember

Cockshot?

I'm going to stop there though, since we have a lot of names in that direction lol. A time before they meant much else

[severe idol]

dont think so

we have a place called bruce rock

[hollow drum]

I love how this conversation has varied from railways

[wheat burrow]

Just a touch

lol

I joined a meeting and came back and was like “glory hole cave, say what?”

😂

[hollow drum]

Oh dear 😂

[hollow drum]

Did the meeting go well btw?

[severe idol]

real place

Gibb

[wheat burrow]

Oh the first one was ok, it was a company asking for my services (I’m a freelance space systems engineer)

The other one is still on going

[lone gorge]

gibb river. gibb it here right now

[wheat burrow]

It’s boring, it’s about correcting some issues in a system

[hollow drum]

Ahh I see.

[severe idol]

yes its not far

just the main town for 100ks

[hollow drum]

Well, don't fall asleep lol

[wheat burrow]

Trying not to

[hollow drum]

Alaska has a town called chicken btw

[wheat burrow]

Almost the end of the day here anyway so I have that to keep me going lol

[wheat burrow]

I seriously hope their town clock makes rooster noises and is not a bell

[hollow drum]

If it does I'm moving there

[wheat burrow]

If I was mayor I would do this

[hollow drum]

Not so bad then 😄

[severe idol]

bendigo has the nicest clock tower

[hollow drum]

Huh.. Climax, Michigan

Okay, that's enough Google, it gets far worse lmao

[severe idol]

I found one very very bad

||Curly Dick Bend||

[hollow drum]

I imagined it to be worse lol

I was about to warn you about typing it lol

[severe idol]

bendgo

clcok

my god

im not

okok, i didnt mean to send that

here is the clock tower i was on about

[hollow drum]

Disappointment Islands? Hmm a few people should live there

That's a nice tower

[severe idol]

again not my image but the best i could find

i might have one

[hollow drum]

Deadchinaman? Google has to be having a laugh

I know I said I'd stop but the fuck

[severe idol]

that was the town hall

[hollow drum]

Looks like one too

[severe idol]

gold rush era

[hollow drum]

Oh my signal just plumetted then lol

Go away solar storm

[severe idol]

[hollow drum]

Europe, has some amazing clock towers - if you're into infrastructure

[severe idol]

[hollow drum]

Look up Prague's astronomical clock

[severe idol]

[mint spear]

🥹

[severe idol]

try get a new image with the bird shit removed

[hollow drum]

I'll check that out

One of my favorites is Spasskaya Tower, on the Red Square, so Russia.

[severe idol]

im hungry now

looks like ginger bread

[hollow drum]

That is one hell of a building

[severe idol]

its our main train station

the analog clocks still work

[hollow drum]

Wait I think I've seen it

[severe idol]

yeah

[hollow drum]

Were you the one on about pigeons?

[severe idol]

theres another building

ye

i thought i showed u

[hollow drum]

I don't think we were directing talking at the point so I may have missed it

My god it's 1458.. Ahem.

How long have we been talking xD

[tight pagoda]

morning all

[severe idol]

St. Patrick's Cathedral

[hollow drum]

Good morning to you

[severe idol]

good moring

nearly tuesday for me lol

[tight pagoda]

its monday here

[brisk jasper]

Indeed

[hollow drum]

That reminds me a little of the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter, just a little.

[severe idol]

i think its gothic style

[brisk jasper]

I woke up to my alarm and I was like “lemme turn that off” and then realized it was Monday and was like “oh fuck”

[hollow drum]

I had that this morning, but realised I had the day off for once. Went back to bed and got up at 10 am lol

[brisk jasper]

The cats were particularly quiet this morning

[severe idol]

Shrine of Remembrance is also nice

[brisk jasper]

Although Cosmos got on top of the fridge

[severe idol]

worst feeling

[tight pagoda]

i had a dream that invader zim was using a trash compactor, and an incinerator in my childhood back yard XD

[brisk jasper]

I don’t remember what I dreamed about

[tight pagoda]

ever?

[brisk jasper]

No, not really

Just not something I give too much thought to

[severe idol]

hapy tuesdday!!! dayy offf !!!!!

[tight pagoda]

his head looks like a campaign bottle

[brisk jasper]

He’s a grouchy bastard, that greyhound

[hollow drum]

It's still Monday for me, but happy Tuesday to you lol

[brisk jasper]

People say “oooh, your dogs have really long noses”, but they get greyhounds confused with borzois

[tight pagoda]

my dog is mad at me

[hollow drum]

I don't think most people see Borzois so much in person

[brisk jasper]

No, which is unfortunate, because borzois are very pretty dogs

[hollow drum]

Absolutely!

I've only seen a handful

[brisk jasper]

And greyhounds are the sweetest things

They’re very gentle dogs

[tight pagoda]

little dogs are little monsters

[brisk jasper]

Yup

[hollow drum]

Another I rarely see is Silkies, but they're more American dogs afterall

[brisk jasper]

Here’s Toph back when she was cute and more manageable

Now she’s just big and hyper

75 pounds of pure joy

[hollow drum]

They wannabe lapdogs or have they not learnt that one yet? 🤔😂

[brisk jasper]

Toph is a puppy in the body of a football player

[hollow drum]

Sounds about right haha

[tight pagoda]

my doberman was a wanna be lap dog

[brisk jasper]

Katt unfortunately never got to be a puppy really, since he’s a retired racing dog

[hollow drum]

That's sad

[tight pagoda]

i need to bribe Rio with food to lay on my lap, and once he gets it he still jumps off

[brisk jasper]

He’s living the best life though

[hollow drum]

You're being used for the food then lol

[tight pagoda]

oh i know XDF

XD

[hollow drum]

Without a doubt! People like you really do look after those poor dogs

[brisk jasper]

Greyhounds are surprisingly easy to care for

They need a decent yard, daily walks, okay food and a comfy bed

[tight pagoda]

am i off base thinking greyhound raceing is close to animal abuse?

[hollow drum]

Yeah, generally it was, unsure so much now

[brisk jasper]

It is animal abuse

[hollow drum]

You're starving and over exerting the animal in most circles

Without proper care to follow that up

[brisk jasper]

Greyhounds love to run

But they love sleeping even more

Some people would dose em with meth

[hollow drum]

Yup, they're quite happy being the laziest dogs possible lol

[brisk jasper]

45mph couch potatoes

[hollow drum]

This phone, my god lol

Oh speaking of lapdogs

Don't get a wolfhound lmao

[tight pagoda]

i would love to have a Tamaskan

[severe idol]

Kelpies are good

[hollow drum]

Finnish wolf dog, right?

[lone gorge]

chow chows be funny lookin :3

[tight pagoda]

i think i need to wiki it again

[brisk jasper]

Toph is mostly wolfhound

[hollow drum]

Huh, i didn't realise

[tight pagoda]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamaskan_Dog

yup

[hollow drum]

I'm so used to seeing them as shaggy wear bears lol

[brisk jasper]

She’s about 50% wolfhound, so she’s as big as Katt

[lone gorge]

get a dingo

[tight pagoda]

me?

[lone gorge]

anyone lol

[brisk jasper]

Female greyhounds tend to be about 2-3 inches smaller than the males

[tight pagoda]

guess it would keep the baby population down =p

[brisk jasper]

Toph is slightly taller than Katt

And she’s as fast as a greyhound

[hollow drum]

Yeah, by the sounds of it it won't be hampering her too much, if at all

[hollow drum]

They're hard work

[brisk jasper]

No, she’s very hard to control

[lone gorge]

lots of floof to tend to

[hollow drum]

I mean mentally, they can be pretty aggressive

[lone gorge]

yea true

[brisk jasper]

Had to get a spiked collar (don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt her, just keeps her from tugging too much) for Toph, just because she loses her shit when she sees another dog

[hollow drum]

But when they're nice, they're absolutely lovely from experience.

[hollow drum]

Ah, very energetic then 😅😂

[lone gorge]

its cool how they have blue tongues

[brisk jasper]

And I had to play with her with leather work gloves

She broke the gloves

[hollow drum]

I can believe that

[brisk jasper]

Now whenever I wear gloves, she thinks it’s playtime

[hollow drum]

Genetic mutation, any other dog would be cause for concern lol

[brisk jasper]

As energetic as she is, there isn’t a thought behind her eyes

[hollow drum]

Not at all, it's all do and not think lol

[brisk jasper]

Katt is definitely more reserved, but he is also a lot grouchier

[hollow drum]

I had a neighbour, a kind older lady. She owned one, it was amazing in the lead with her but when she let it off.. Poof

[hollow drum]

How much older?

[brisk jasper]

Toph is about 3, Katt is around 8-9

[hollow drum]

Aw, yeah, she's a more reserved gal for sure then. I've still seem them bolt it at that age for sure though.

[brisk jasper]

Toph has tried to bolt

Problem is, again, no thoughts. She sees a person and goes to give em kisses, letting me catch her

[lone gorge]

YOINK

[brisk jasper]

Toph also doesn’t run off to run off, she just wants to see what’s outside of the backyard

[hollow drum]

I've only had one dog, never wanted another, a Jack Russel crossed with a fox terrier, that little shit would climb 7 foot fences lol.

[brisk jasper]

Toph finally realized that she’s better off in the house, so she’s mellowed a bit

Onyx hasn’t realized that being inside is better than outside, and he always runs off at night. He’s a black cat. In a forested area.

[hollow drum]

Oh, really?

[brisk jasper]

As you can imagine, he’s a bit of a bastard

Here’s a pic of him after he ran out at 10:00pm

[hollow drum]

Doesn't look at all bothered lol

Lovely coat btw

[lone gorge]

absolutely proud of himself lol

[brisk jasper]

Cosmos is much more cuddly than Onyx. Also doesn’t run. The door has been wide open and he’s sitting right there and just doesn’t move

[hollow drum]

How many cats and dogs do you possess then?

[brisk jasper]

2 cats and 2 dogs

And a gecko

[tight pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dog-cartoon-gif-21973182

[hollow drum]

A gecko? What's their name?

[brisk jasper]

Her name is Firecracker

[hollow drum]

A suitable name, i do love them. I may get one, but never really got around to it.

And I'm away from home a lot

[brisk jasper]

They’re pretty durable little critters

When I was moving, I couldn’t really feed her and I didn’t have her lamp, she did just fine

[hollow drum]

I don't doubt it, but yeah, I'm just overly cautious. I don't know how long I'll be sometimes, you know?

[brisk jasper]

They’re desert animals, they’re pretty well suited for going a long time without any resources

Obviously they should be fed and whatnot regularly, but it’s pretty easy to care for them

[wheat burrow]

Every time I see your gecko I think it’s my one lol

[brisk jasper]

lol

[wheat burrow]

They look so similar

[hollow drum]

That's true i suppose. I've never had any reptiles though haha, just; 3 cats, a dog, mice and jaboas.

[wheat burrow]

Those cute little faces get me every time

[lone gorge]

most photogenic reptile ever

[brisk jasper]

Nice little smiles

[hollow drum]

I honestly think they're one of the cutest animals

[wheat burrow]

Agreed

[brisk jasper]

And they’re one of the dumbest lol. They won’t eat anything that isn’t moving

[lone gorge]

axolotyl tho

[wheat burrow]

Also pretty cute

[hollow drum]

Really? Lol

[brisk jasper]

Yes, and they have a habit of biting if you wriggle your finger around

It doesn’t hurt because they don’t have teeth

[hollow drum]

Ah, well I've had a lab punch a hole through my hand, wouldn't matter either way to me lol

I'm so tempted

[brisk jasper]

And if you’re concerned about feeding a gecko while you’re away, just have someone drop a couple of bugs in their tank once very few days or a week or so

Again, desert animals

[wheat burrow]

Mine does lol

Tiny little razors

[brisk jasper]

I mean, I also haven’t inspected my gecko’s mouth in detail

[wheat burrow]

He’s drawn blood a couple times

[brisk jasper]

And she hasn’t bit me very much

[wheat burrow]

He gets over zealous and misses the food and gets my finger and I have to refrain from pulling back quickly and end up with a gecko dangling from my finger 😅

[brisk jasper]

lol

I’m trying to handle my gecko a little more, she isn’t very frightened of me anymore. She doesn’t like being held, but she doesn’t run every time I open her food hatch

Over the summer I think I’m going to get her some new substrate

[hollow drum]

I'll keep that in mind, thankyou 😄

[brisk jasper]

Also, do not get two male geckos

They will fight

Multiple female geckos are okay, but do occasionally fight.

[wheat burrow]

Mine loves going up my sleeve or in my hoodie pocket

If I try to remove him he gets well pissed off and starts chirping at me 😂

[brisk jasper]

Lizards do get very loving if you handle them enough

My main concern about having my gecko out of her tank is the cats

[wheat burrow]

Yeah man you need to banish them from the room and barricade the door if she’s out

For her own feeling of security if nothing else

[brisk jasper]

My gecko is in the basement, which is where I hang out a lot, so keeping the cats out is pretty easy

[wheat burrow]

Nice

[brisk jasper]

However, I’m just going to try and get her used to me handling her and getting her comfortable around me

Then I’ll see about letting her out of the tank

[wheat burrow]

Makes sense; you want them to be way less skittish

I for one welcome our AI overlords. All hail the machine god!

[agile bramble]

...Who summoned Gunter??

[keen bridge]

The bots did

[brisk jasper]

Praise the Omnissiah

Etc etc

[keen bridge]

Gunter’s one of them

https://tenor.com/view/mechanicus-techpriest-warhammer-machine-spirit-omnissiah-gif-20384129

[tight pagoda]

so no one is talking about failsafes with AI

or killswitches

[brisk jasper]

Last time we had a killswitch on an AI, we got the Terminator sequels

Better to not give AI weaponry in the first place

[tight pagoda]

too late!

[slow cedar]

[tight pagoda]

hi Cat

[wheat burrow]

Yeah the dogfight simulation between real pilot and AI controlled fighter was a touch worrying despite its impressiveness

[brisk jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-gif-26495714

[tight pagoda]

yeah this video is exciting, butmostly scarey

[slow cedar]

yup

this took me like an hour to figure out

[wheat burrow]

Yeah I got a few moments in to the DeepMind dude saying cyber security is there to keep AI in and Hackers out and went 🤦‍♂️

If it’s built by humans it can be broken by humans eventually

Not to mention the electric mind capable of learning at rates much faster than us

[trail mortar]

How are you doing today

[slow cedar]

hi 👋

pretty good

progress on my game is quite slow :/

[tight pagoda]

im haveing a slow starter day

ive been watching youtube

[slow cedar]

ah

yeah Monday is just >:P

[lone gorge]

i strive to reach the levels of comfort he does

[tight pagoda]

this makes me sad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcvdXtEpEaA

[lucid granite]

This shouldn’t even work LOL

[spiral zephyr]

Yeah, and even worse, my understanding is ai is writing code for itself already, but we can't understand what it's doing. 😬

[lucid granite]

Wait nevermind I see what your doing

this.gameObject is another way to type that

[slow cedar]

your cat is spoiled :P

just like mine lol

[slow cedar]

it does

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lucid granite]

Yep I forgor some Unity crap for a second

It makes sense now

[slow cedar]

ah

[wheat burrow]

Fun!!!

[slow cedar]

good thing I'm not writing the code

the ai would implode

[lucid granite]

I’m writing the code, the AI did implode

[slow cedar]

[wheat burrow]

AI = Auto-Implosion

[dry bison]

https://deepmind.google/

[wheat burrow]

Safe means putting aside the egos

Good luck getting some of the plebs at the top agreeing

[dry bison]

It won't matter. OpenAI will grow significantly faster than Deepmind.
