If you’re in Oceania Cruises, you’re completely screwed

They’re offshored and not particularly required to adhere to good employment practices iirc

[thick stump]

that's silly, here there's literal walk in test centres now where you just walk in, get a test done (for free) and results come back within 2 hours now

[mint spear]

No I'm living in like the region of Oceania

nothing to do with the Cruise group

[heavy vale]

Mm. Well, which country governs your local employment law?

[mint spear]

Aus

I've been frantically trying to look up whether I can contact a higher authority on this, cause its unacceptable. I've literally been in contact with people who have been confirmed to have COVID

and somehow I'm not even allowed to take leave to self-isolate. ._.

[heavy vale]

Done some reading here? https://coronavirus.fairwork.gov.au/

[mint spear]

Anyway thanks for your help I should probably not bring this into the chat...(that's why I asked first before asking)

[thick stump]

it's no problem

[heavy vale]

No it’s fine

You probably want this section: https://coronavirus.fairwork.gov.au/coronavirus-and-australian-workplace-laws/pay-and-leave-during-coronavirus/quarantine-self-isolation

[mint spear]

Yeah I'm actually looking at that bit now lol

[heavy vale]

Specifically you need to look up if your job qualifies for paid or unpaid leave under the Schedule X awards. They have a lookup tool here:

Oops http://www.fairwork.gov.au/awards-and-agreements/awards/find-my-award

[mint spear]

If an employee can’t work because they have to quarantine or self-isolate, they should contact their employer immediately to discuss leave or flexible working options.

That's frighteningly ambiguous

[heavy vale]

Use the award link there

[mint spear]

😕

[heavy vale]

It will specifically tell you what your options are based on quiz answers

I don’t know enough to answer direct questions for your circumstances, but at least one way or another you should exit the next hour knowing what your real options are

[mint spear]

oh its ok thanks

[heavy vale]

You should probably also report the outbreak to a coronavirus hotline if you can find one

They may not care, but at least it’s a way to get vengeance through good public health practices

[mint spear]

I did that yesterday thanks

[heavy vale]

Good luck. I have to run for a while, but I hope that gets you unstuck!

[mint spear]

Thanks...

[weary smelt]

Ancient Demon created by Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs. Described as a bit taller then regular man, flaming and pretty strong.

There were entire armies of them

[civic ferry]

Also, they shall not pass

[fickle obsidian]

Gothmog?

lol

[weary smelt]

Yes.

You have several of them, I'm referring to Melkor's general. Not the white Orc of The Battle of Pelennor Fields.

[fickle obsidian]

just imagining a goth moogle atm

[weary smelt]

Eh.

It's also a Balrog xD

But then general of boss

Gothmog is just his name.

[fickle obsidian]

balrog just a moogle in fiery hoody

Would probably mean something in Black speech, I'm unaware of it's translation.

That's a strange concept for a mostly game support server and no hangout.. But sure thing! Sent it in dm.

It's not that intresting.

Melkor or Maia / Valar are more intresting.

Or maybe Ancalagon, Ents, whatever.

I’m just going to state that trial mod battle royale is a great idea and you guys should probably do it

[weary smelt]

Imagine caring and having time to be able to do a "battle royale" in order to have a chance at becoming a Moderator on a social media platform of a game..

Gosh people 've got no clue what to do with their lives then.

[lucid granite]

🕺

[silver mantle]

imagine being judgmental about people spending their free time

[lucid granite]

imagine typing for 3 minutes straight

[weary smelt]

Never layed down an judgement of it being bad or good, did I? I espressed my intention of an concept and that's totally fine by speech of freedom. At second, if having a virtual battle over becoming staff on an social media platform is the main point of your day, you must have a lot of free time indeed. This isn't an insult, actually in 99% cases (which is more then 65% so can be considered canon) people do work, other things.

I am typing for 3 minutes because I am choosing my words carefully, to prevent assuming Moderators wanting to punish for an innocent and legal speech of freedom and to prevent people feeling being attacked and/or offended.

I will make breakfast, g'day everyone.

[silver mantle]

its still judgmental lol

[lucid granite]

[sterile tartan]

which is more than 65% so can be considered canon

[silver mantle]

but i'll kinda point this out anyway you don't really have freedom of speech on a private server

still gotta follow the rules

[spare harbor]

I like internal judgements. I mean I need them to measure how I respond to things. External ones tend to .. well blow up in my face.

[sterile tartan]

[silver mantle]

evenin' spirit how are you?

[sterile tartan]

hiya. I'm alright. just kinda here tbh

[weary smelt]

Judging is about referring to a personal individual behaviour, i was sharing my thoughts on a concept, and i did not share if I thought it is right/wrong. But if that's not allowed by your rules, I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you, morning.

Astronomy pic of the day

Massive Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 2841

Explanation: It is one of the more massive galaxies known. A mere 46 million light-years distant, spiral galaxy NGC 2841 can be found in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. This sharp view of the gorgeous island universe shows off a striking yellow nucleus and galactic disk. Dust lanes, small, pink star-forming regions, and young blue star clusters are embedded in the patchy, tightly wound spiral arms. In contrast, many other spirals exhibit grand, sweeping arms with large star-forming regions. NGC 2841 has a diameter of over 150,000 light-years, even larger than our own Milky Way. The featured composite image merges exposures from the orbiting 2.4-meter Hubble Space Telescope and the ground-based 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope. X-ray images suggest that resulting winds and stellar explosions create plumes of hot gas extending into a halo around NGC 2841.

I like the concept of freedom of speech, but I find it insane...like, batshit fucking crazy when I see the only people using it in an argument are ones that want to weaponize speech with backhanded remarks to protect themselves from consequences. People died for some of the simple shit we enjoy and take for granted every single day. I just want for one day, that people stand up and demand that peanut butter and jelly go in the same jar with a consistency that means I won't have to rip my bread to make it delicious or struggle for a decent balance of flavors.

Isn't M class like the big of bastards?

[silver mantle]

its like ours

so our sun actually orbits the galaxy just like we orbit the sun

[safe path]

Yep yep!

[silver mantle]

so you can be overtaken

smaller orbit = faster

[safe path]

And I assume this is not a if statement but a when statement

Like it has a high chance of happening?

[silver mantle]

i think they must have tracked one thats a possible deadline yeah

i mean there are hard deadlines for Earth regardless

yknow 4 billion is the most commonly known one

once the sun expands all bets are off

but i mean tomorrow we could get flexed on by a gamma ray burst

and its over in 1 second we'll be hit with more energy than the sun will produce in its entire lifespan

[safe path]

Yeah, I've watched a couple docs about it, still nuts. Just like we wouldn't know for what, 8.5 minutes if the sun does go out?

[silver mantle]

YES

but the expansion of the sun would overtake in 7 minutes i believe

[tropic folio]

gamma ray burst me sun-kun

[safe path]

Damn.. well I mean the Mayans were dyslexic so.. it could happen still this year

holy hell is only sunday?

[wet hornet]

Speak for yourself. I spent my Sunday cleaning a flood in our place. 😦

[safe path]

I'll spend it bipolar depression sleeping and talking here T.T

[terse cargo]

i thought yesterday was Sunday

my world view was shattered when i found out it wasn't

[silver mantle]

lel

[terse cargo]

every day is the same currently

[silver mantle]

sorry to hear

[terse cargo]

i mean, they are nice days, i enjoy free time

but it makes remembering the week days a bit difficult

[steady cairn]

"Astronomers estimate that the Sun's luminosity will increase by about 6% every billion years. This increase might seem slight, but it will render Earth inhospitable to life in about 1.1 billion years. The planet will be too hot to support life."

While still very far away, relative to the red giant phase of the sun, is about 4 times sooner where Earth will no longer be able to support life, the oceans will be boiled away but the planet will remain until possibly being eaten by the red giant phase.

[terse cargo]

humanity better hurry up with the colonization of space

[steady cairn]

It's a common thought to think the sun won't change much until the red giant but no.. it technically will get hotter every year (outside of the natural phases of hotter/cooler) until it's so hot that well.. life can't be supported.

[terse cargo]

oh god i just noticed, imagine all those idiots going to space

like some guy on a space ship is going "did you know that the ships communicate via 5G"

[steady cairn]

It's a conspiracy theory, they heated up the planet to control us right? Lizard people and what-not, lol.

[terse cargo]

lizard people are real, they want your data

[hallow isle]

Well got my 5G chip from Bill Gates installed

Internet doesn’t feel any faster

[static saffron]

epic

9/10

[civic ferry]

I came up with that joke before collegehumor did

[gray peak]

Because it’s not supposed to

It’s not a signal booster

[silver mantle]

still falls into the hard stop deadlines; the star interference is estimated sooner than 1 Gyrs so yeah technicalities i guess

[civic ferry]

It's completely irrelevant. We're going to make the earth uninhabitable a lot sooner than 200 million years

Look what we've done in 2 thousand?

[silver mantle]

idk pretty sure the first major asteroid was worse

and life survived that

[civic ferry]

Life also survived complete suffocation, but nothing big

[silver mantle]

well if we kill ourselves than that's our own problem

[civic ferry]

When the atmosphere went from CO² to oxygen mix

[silver mantle]

humans are just good at dreaming about doomsday and not actually fixing real problems 😛

[civic ferry]

We do tend to generate doomsday cults

[silver mantle]

idk seems like more of an excuse to just sit by and let it happen

[civic ferry]

don't bother with college, the world will end

give the church of doom your window washing money instead

[silver mantle]

DOOM

https://youtu.be/nSdy11GK8OE

[civic ferry]

Probably not

[silver mantle]

kids these days

[terse cargo]

yeah the original parts are a bit before my time

i played 2016 tho

[civic ferry]

The game that set the baseline for the fps genre is basic

[silver mantle]

"kind of basic"

[civic ferry]

I mean, yes?

[silver mantle]

ok ghost beat me to it

its super reductive... why is everyone so reductive lately

sigh

[gaunt reef]

more like get real you ornament

[restive haven]

Sort of. There is the MiSTer project that reproduces the Amiga in FGPAs, but it looks nothing like it. There are some new cases being made in the same style as orig. But as for complete reproductions, I don't think there's anything like that widely avail.

[terse cargo]

my englisch knowledge is failing me, what is reductive?

is it like lethargic

[civic ferry]

What about it?

[silver mantle]

reducing an idea to its most basic concepts

[civic ferry]

Over simplified, or removing refinements

[terse cargo]

thx

[silver mantle]

"influential shooter that isn't boring" yep done after that

🤦‍♀️

no shit

what an enlightening pov

[civic ferry]

Except unreal tournament came from unreal came from quake came from... Doom

[terse cargo]

which new doom, eternal or 2016?

[silver mantle]

imagine citing 2 fps games as cool after saying the only reason they exist as lame

[terse cargo]

doom eternal is pretty good

[silver mantle]

sorry its just an awful opinion

im sure intentionally so

interesting connection

[mint spear]

👀

[silver mantle]

also seems very intentional

nah you're trying to get a rise out of ppl

you should be really careful

its not nice to intentionally try to stir people up 🙂

[primal kelp]

👀

[civic ferry]

You just reminded me of the Duke nukem games :D

[mint spear]

I mean imo it's not fair to compare old games to the newer versions

Also Doom 2016 and eternal and older classic doom are pretty much different games entirely lol

[terse cargo]

emerald i have a question

[silver mantle]

eternal blows

its not even DOOM

just a fake for casuals

[terse cargo]

why is your id constantly changing

[mint spear]

to avoid possible kick

Ok

[silver mantle]

[mint spear]

Idk who it was, all I know them by is the annoying alt dude

[terse cargo]

hmm, ED is not connecting me, hurray

[silver mantle]

there's probably more lurking around im pretty sure he just spammed chat with a bunch to keep going

[civic ferry]

So good https://image.dosgamesarchive.com/screenshots/duke2_010.png

[silver mantle]

i played that! also the earlier one

[mint spear]

I am too young to know these games 😔

[civic ferry]

1, 2, and 3. Mmm

And then 3d happened

[terse cargo]

same

[mint spear]

And my parents would never have let me play them as a kid tbh

A game about shooting monsters? No way Jose

[civic ferry]

This was back in the ancient times, when Duke nukem was a good franchise

[terse cargo]

yeah

[silver mantle]

always a generic he-man type hero character but not so in your face adolescent bullshit like after 3d

[civic ferry]

generic there wasn't a lot of room for characterization in 8/16bit games

[silver mantle]

i mean Keen was a kid who wore a green bay packers helmet and built the bean with bacon megarocket

basically shakespeare

[terse cargo]

i mean, sometimes thats all you need

oh god i have been just reminded of a shitty movie

the doom movie, the second one

[silver mantle]

no

it has karl urban

[civic ferry]

Doom "The Rock" Hunter

[silver mantle]

it can't be shitty

i mean its redeemed just by that

[terse cargo]

fair

but he aint the main character

that would have made it a good movie maybe

[silver mantle]

but he is

[terse cargo]

i think you are thinking of the first doom movie

there is a second one

[silver mantle]

i thought there was only one

oh

nvm then

[terse cargo]

with female lead, which in all honesty is a decision i dont get to this day

[silver mantle]

resident evil

[terse cargo]

oh no the memories

[silver mantle]

js that's prolly why

[terse cargo]

i only watched one of them, that was enough

[silver mantle]

also Silent Hill 2

the movie 2

ruined the character of Heather

[terse cargo]

geez why are video game movies always so terrible

[silver mantle]

idk

[terse cargo]

i mean, you literally have a template

[silver mantle]

interactive media doesn't translate to passive?

[civic ferry]

It can, but it's hard

[silver mantle]

a game can be 20 hours long and be considered "short" but a movie maxes at like 3 before people are done

[civic ferry]

And studios rarely give them the budget and writing needed to do so

Or decide to be too creative and may as well be doing a completely new IP

resident evil

Side benefit of having a kid.
Having an excuse to mess with lego :nosympLUL:

I would have loved to have these flat bits and angled pieces as a kid myself , haha.

[mint spear]

I’m still waiting to see Monster Hunter lol. I just know it’s gonna be terrible despite the director and Milla Jovovich apparently being Monster Hunter players.

[terse cargo]

oh right i totally forgot they where making a monster hunter movie

[silver mantle]

imagine the NMS movie depends on which players we're talking about

[mint spear]

Yeah lol.

[terse cargo]

the NMS movie, you mean oblivion?

[silver mantle]

no

[terse cargo]

with enough fantasy it could be one

[dim egret]

im not the only one playing leaf blower revolution

[civic ferry]

I'm way past burnt out on "Military people learn to be adaptable and use native equipment" as a basic character development framework

THAT BEING SAID

https://youtu.be/odM92ap8_c0

LETS FUCKING GOO

[silent wagon]

How is it even a movie, Godzilla would just blast a hole in the monkey with his laser breath

[terse cargo]

maybe they will nerf godzilla

[silent wagon]

Boooooooo

It's the same Godzilla from the 2010 movie or whenever that came out, it would be dumb to nerf em

WHAT IS THIS HORSE SHIT???

"We made Godzilla smaller and decided they both fought in some stupid Titan war a billion years ago so Kong gets to have an anti-Godzilla axe"

[silver mantle]

inb4 Japan gets pissed xD

[silent wagon]

I'M PISSED

[silver mantle]

remember when they made that movie trex monster godzilla

yeah the creators of godzilla apparently made a like 10 second video of japanese godzilla obliterating it

i mean sure Godzilla vs Kong is fine but there's no actual reason for Kong to win; godzilla wasn't even evil after a while in the original ones

[silent wagon]

Why does Kong get to be bigger and have a friggin battleaxe, smh

[silver mantle]

cuz america best i guess 😛

[silent wagon]

Also, by the looks of it it's gonna end the same way they always do with them fighting something else

[silver mantle]

id rather see more gidorah

[silent wagon]

Or Mothra is gonna show up and tell em to get their shit together, lol

[silver mantle]

its opposite day Mothra is suddenly like the most powerful dangerous thing ever

[silent wagon]

I need to watch the last Godzilla movie tbh. King of Monsters

[fickle obsidian]

Shin Godzilla beckons

[mint spear]

No, they made Kong bigger

Remember, Kong Skull Island was set in the 1970s.

[dry bison]

I missed someone getting banned. I feel jipped off.

Kong "gets" a battle axe? Who gives it to him and why did he need permission?

[mint spear]

And Godzilla 2015

sooo

[fickle obsidian]

Shin Godzilla lurks

[mint spear]

40+ years

I'd say Kong had some decent time to grow 😛

[dry bison]

I think these big monster movies are just trying to capitalize on the awe people had for the monsters from Cloverfield/The Mist

So Godzilla got bigger. Kong got bigger.

They'll just get to galactic size as men continue to compare their sizes.

[fickle obsidian]

egos explained

[mint spear]

@dry bison no

You do realize how old Godzilla and Kong are right?

the movies, not the characters

the last Kong and Godzilla movies (before the current established run of 'Monsterverse movies" were total garbage, and now that they have the budget to make these flashy big movies, they are pulling off decent Kaiju movies

I kinda wanna die.

Not really.

It's just, I'm in so much fucking pain

this god damn tooth.

😦

3rd day straight, and I had the biggest break just now

I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, I was shaking

[dry bison]

Can not go to dentist?

[mint spear]

Will try, but due to this fkn pandemic, our local doctor doesn't even take in normal patients.

[dry bison]

A cracked tooth is not normal

A cleaning is normal

[mint spear]

plus it's weekend rn, was for the past 2 days too, and they're not operational during those

Oh fuck, thank fuck we have some painkillers leftover.

[dry bison]

Acetaminophen?

[mint spear]

out of my Ibuprofen doses for today, thinking if I should mix it with paracetamol

I'm not dosing these by a handful btw, I'm dosing it according to the brochures, so no worries.

[dry bison]

Americans get brochures with their medications?

[mint spear]

ibuprofen says 1 every 4 hours, but not more than 3, so ye. para says up to 2, every 4 to 6 hours, but not more than 6 a day

dunno what's it called

leaflet?

[dry bison]

Oh. I thought it was actually a brochure.

[mint spear]

google says leaflet

[dry bison]

New treatment for covid19 damage after infection

In Canada

[mint spear]

they figured something out?

guess depends on damage

some of this shit heard's pretty permanent

[dry bison]

Since most of the damage caused by the virus whether symptomatic or not is due to its inflammatory impact on your system, researchers in Quebec began looking at medications that address those specific symptoms to prevent the damage.

https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/quebec-researchers-say-they-have-found-an-effective-drug-to-fight-covid-19-1.5279310

Its still not effective enough imo to recommend actually taking

Dropped hospital visits by 25%, Ventilator use by 50% and deaths by 44%

It's better than nothing.

[mint spear]

for sure

[dry bison]

Esp since the side effects of taking the drug aren't worse than covid19

Diarrhea, nausea, cramps

It's available by prescription only so don't expect to see that for covid19 soon

On the plus side, there's a generic version so...It's going to be CHEAP

Esp for Americans

Colchicine costs 26 cents a pill in Canada

$4-$6 in The United States

I'm trying to train myself to stop calling The United States, America. Canada is as much America as The United States.

I'm sorry what.
How is a 44% mortality reduction not a big benefit

Taken to current mortality scale, that's like 220,000 potential murrican saved

[terse cargo]

nearing almost midnight over here

[dry bison]

Sorry America. Canada only 😛

Actually...I don't even know if you can still get this prescribed in Canada.

Maybe why it's magically so great for covid19 is because it was pulled off the market for gout, etc

I mean, realistically its application as an anti-inflammatory more broadly does not put it at the top of the list for drugs effective in that role, and this application of the drug may just be big pharma trying to game money from a drug that was pulled.

[bronze acorn]

This guy is trying to get me to commit fraud lol

[dry bison]

Have you reported it to the FBI?

Online carding is kind of a felony offense.

[bronze acorn]

Uh

No?

[dry bison]

I always find it amusing when I hear about people working outside of their living rooms or small offices with dozens of credit cards that aren't theirs get busted and find out the penalty for their crimes is soooo much higher than just the money they stole and the identities they ripped off.

Now a days they try to hide behind legal loopholes to avoid culpability, by targetting teens as scape goats for the crimes.

The theory is that teens will get lighter sentences because of their age.

chortles

Not true anymore.

[civic ferry]

Imagine if they discover the magic drug is like... Benedryl

Astronomy pic of the day

Southern Cross over Chilean Volcano

Explanation: Have you ever seen the Southern Cross? This famous four-star icon is best seen from Earth's Southern Hemisphere. The featured image was taken last month in Chile and captures the Southern Cross just to the left of erupting Villarrica, one of the most active volcanos in our Solar System. Connecting the reddest Southern Cross star Gacrux through the brightest star Acrux points near the most southern location in the sky: the South Celestial Pole (SCP), around which all southern stars appear to spin as the Earth turns. In modern times, no bright star resides near the SCP, unlike in the north where bright Polaris now appears near the NCP. Extending the Gacrux - Acrux line still further (from about four to about seven times their angular separation) leads near the Small Magellanic Cloud, a bright satellite galaxy of our Milky Way Galaxy. The Southern Cross asterism dominates the Crux constellation, a deeper array of stars that includes four Cepheid variable stars visible to the unaided eye. Just above the volcano in the image, and looking like a dark plume, is the Coalsack Nebula, while the large red star-forming Carina Nebula is visible on the upper left.

Thank you Gunter

[tropic folio]

very cool

[warped acorn]

Aye so im thinking about getting something from best buy and i might sound stupid asking but when their website says pick up im guessing i gotta pay online

[undone moat]

your assumption is correct I'm pretty sure

[warped acorn]

Damn i just wanna walk in and buy the Oculus lol

[fickle obsidian]

If they're in stock, ya could do that as well, at least if the stores locally are allowing folks in

[mint spear]

Oculus??

I sense...Subnautica

[wet hornet]

Not to be a pill, but it's worth asking. Are you aware that Oculus units require a Facebook account to use?

[warped acorn]

Yeah id probably make a new facebook just for it considering i havent used facebook in years

Not to worried tbh

I got to try out my brothers when he came to visit and it was pretty fun ngl

[wet hornet]

Just something to reflect on, considering the data FB collect. I'm personally against it, and I will never buy an Oculus no matter how solid the product is. To each their own though!

[warped acorn]

Yeah its one of those questions i had to ask myself

[wet hornet]

Fair enough 😄

[warped acorn]

Like if i really think its worth it or not but tbh i dont want to order it online

[wet hornet]

Could save a bit of money that way though

[warped acorn]

Might just build a pc again and save up on something tethered

My only issue with building a pc is that it takes forever to get everything

[tropic folio]

basically, yea

[wintry sequoia]

i can relate to this one

[tropic folio]

I can still do my pinch chords though so that's something, definitely not as hard as having no goddamn wrist muscle from not playing for 6+ months q.q

[wintry sequoia]

luckily we are all inside so theres no excuse for me not to practice rn

this convo really makes me want to practice right now

[tropic folio]

lol have guitar in lap presently xD

[sterile tartan]

I actually shoved my nervousness aside and recorded like a minute of my singing. thing is, I sound nervous as heck in the recording some of the time and it just. meh. but a couple spots are nice so that's what made me not delete it

[tropic folio]

nicely done!

[sterile tartan]

[tropic folio]

all my recordings I have on soundcloud are recorded with a phone mic in front of a REALLY loud half-stack

[mint spear]

I thought that was a fat ghost at first

[tropic folio]

because I didn't have a proper setup and still don't xD

[sterile tartan]

mine is just my phone's voice recorder lol

[tropic folio]

I can share if you want but fair warning, the audio quality is bad

[sterile tartan]

but I'm not ready to try to record to post in real places

if you wanna share

go for it

[tropic folio]

also I had an ex-friend do vocals on one of the tracks and that's also just ambient phone mic recorded so it's...meh and unintelligible

[sterile tartan]
