[ashen spindle]

because we focused our energy on convincing the lead dev it doesn't make sense to use the old style guide from c++ for our C# projects

[halcyon moss]

git is better in every way, except cli, and thats not that big of an issue when using an ide

i have had only bad experiences with brances on svn 😒

[ashen spindle]

yeah branchconflicts are a bitch

but we aren't many people on a project usually, so I'll take it over having to name my class variables kClassName

most importantly

we still had a maximum line length of

70? characters I think

so "you can print it on A4 paper if you print it"

we finally convinced him thats bullshit and nobody prints code anymore

[halcyon moss]

70? O_o

[ashen spindle]

not quite sure, I think that was it

[halcyon moss]

thats even less than 80! and thats already quite too little

[ashen spindle]

maybe 80

[halcyon moss]

what do you indent with? 1 space? :p

[ashen spindle]

• almost everything is in unity, so 90% of code is inside a base class, which means you already have a couple lines less due to indentation

[halcyon moss]

I put a soft limit at 120.

[ashen spindle]

with ReSharper it's easy to keep it either way, but less still made it look and feel worse

[halcyon moss]

does he still work on a 80ies terminal?

[ashen spindle]

he doesnt like when people use new c# features either because he doesnt know them and wants to be able to read code

and with new I mean multiple year old "new" versions...

[halcyon moss]

seems like you got a control freak at the helm

[ashen spindle]

now the confusing part is, idk his age but judging from looks I would say in his 30s

somewhat, but I get the feeling only because he doesnt like change/new stuff

which uh, is not great as a dev xD

[halcyon moss]

talked to hi about letting you guys do what you are good at? :p

[ashen spindle]

ehh, one step after another 😛

[halcyon moss]

step 1: getting him fired
step 2:...

[ashen spindle]

for now im fine with doing whatever I want since he isn't even involved in the projects im on lol

and back in the office he also wouldn't really look at things unless you ask him

so not like I need to worry about him anyway lol

[halcyon moss]

do you do code reviews?

[ashen spindle]

I wish

only thing close to it, I sometimes join the senior dev on my project via teams when he does the server code for the project and we sorta do pair programming

[reef tundra]

Moral support

[ashen spindle]

basically, and I do learn some things obviously

[halcyon moss]

thats why code review is important.. and also ebcause bad code will become tech debt, and everyone has to deal with that later

[reef tundra]

Plus you get to enjoy seeing the seniors slowly die over the course of it and the various insults they come up with

Prime content

[ashen spindle]

definitely not seeing it happen while in homeoffice still maybe we can push for it afterwards

[halcyon moss]

push him to the edge

and i'm about to break

[reef tundra]

Why are you about to break?

[ashen spindle]

something triggered his switch and the condition was met

[reef patrol]

Linkin Park intensifies

[reef tundra]

if (anger > BREAKTHRESHOLD) break;

[halcyon moss]

linkin park popped into my head

https://stratechery.com/2021/intel-unleashed-gelsinger-on-intel-idm-2-0/

[cursive summit]

Get it while it's available

[wheat plume]

It says I can still use Office... but if I try to open it, it just goes back to this

[zenith sonnet]

Can relate...
"How was work?" Ugh

My only answer ever is "uh... work?"

[wheat plume]

:P Get your kids into gnome desktop since they were babies

[reef tundra]

🤮

[wheat plume]

^^

[halcyon moss]

hey that onsie is nice

[reef tundra]

Just bleach off the logo and it could be usable

[wheat plume]

I still have no idea why their logo is a foot

[reef tundra]

It is a hint from the designer that they need to get away

[halcyon moss]

"bleach" it of?

thats not how bleach works :p

[reef tundra]

Well fuming sulphuric acid then

[halcyon moss]

fire then?

[reef tundra]

Anti-matter annihilation

https://youtu.be/r97nq2h8k9M

[wheat plume]

I CANT :')

[reef tundra]

typeof

[ashen spindle]

we're just gonna ignore that ! there?

[reef tundra]

Logical not operator

[halcyon moss]

lol

KEEP AT IT LADS

it will become a string eventually

[ashen spindle]

idk what language that is

[reef tundra]

String is and should be string of characters

[ashen spindle]

but shouldnt that just be false ont he first try already

does the ! turn the true into a false or does it something else here?

if not it wont enter the loop

[halcyon moss]

i tyhink so too

unless toString() does wonky stuff

[wheat plume]

Thats not even the focus of this code snippet but my gosh...too many prints

[ashen spindle]

so that code is meant as a joke but doesnt even work lol

[reef tundra]

Depends on the language, specification and compiler what it can do. It could also interpret it as an boolean then, or make it into the two's complement or something other wacky shit.

[wheat plume]

Im.....

wtf...

https://shitcode.net/389

[ashen spindle]

is it slower/worse?

was obfuscating part of the idea?

[reef tundra]

All the if statements will be true

obfuscation like that is pretty much wasted effort since compilers are advanced enough to optimise the useless code out

[halcyon moss]

i dont see obfuscation here, i see a completely written out for loop :p

[ashen spindle]

obfuscation for the human reader 😛

[reef tundra]

I would flat out reject to even try to code review that shit. so much wrong

[wheat plume]

:v

[reef tundra]

indeed, why even bother having booleans

[halcyon moss]

eyy looks like python :p

[halcyon moss]

thats obviously a joke, but wouldnt take super long either

[crimson wigeon]

A proper benchmark

[dense yarrow]

hello i need help with my wooting pls i cant move forwords and backwords

[reef patrol]

#archived_helpdesk_for_keyboards

And please don't repeat the question in several channels. 🙂

[dense yarrow]

sry

[dense yarrow]

yeah but nobody is answering

[ashen spindle]

then wait

https://videocardz.com/press-release/nzxt-announces-n7-b550-amd-motherboard-series can't make their own boards so who do they use as base to reskin boards from? asrock

so nzxt boards will continue to be a bad idea

[reef patrol]

Oeuf

[crimson wigeon]

But it's so pwettyyyyy

[ashen spindle]

queue callum wanting to buy it bc its white

and then it will be even whiter when it gets white-hot when using it

also someone remind me why amd feels the need to be hip and have the driver update play sounds

[reef tundra]

If the bios cant beep the speakers will - amd driver

[crimson wigeon]

Oh yeah when updating the graphics driver on Windows, sometimes that loud bang gets me

[wheat plume]

o.o

[reef tundra]

That is what you get if you buy some obscure brand instead of nvidia

[wheat plume]

Do AMD update their GPU drivers as often as Nvidia?

[crisp granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen spindle]

probably about the same

[reef tundra]

as long as it works

[crisp granite]

so

anything but an intel iGPU

[reef tundra]

a what?

[crisp granite]

one of those shit jokes for a display output

[reef tundra]

oh, integrated graphics which mean less cpu on your cpu

[wheat plume]

on my SSD box: "Made in China with partial foreign content"

what

it even says that on the box for that box

[crisp granite]

sounds like a bad plan

besides

not having a GPU on your CPU is an excuse to get a balls-to-the-wall discrete GPU

[wheat plume]

At the cost of not being able to use any of the motherboard's video out ports

[reef tundra]

you need some output.. and if you are already spending the money.. then why not buy some 1000 dollar gpu

[ashen spindle]

(if the board even has any)

[wheat plume]

all mobos have hdmi and vga or whatnot?

[crisp granite]

you won't need them

and even then

[ashen spindle]

no? why would they add them if the cpus they support wont have n iGPU

[crisp granite]

laptops

[reef tundra]

You can force the cpu to make an frame buffer and drive the display but it will hog the cpu

[crisp granite]

plebs who don't have dGPUs

[wheat plume]

They cant be sure, my mobo is AM4 socket, some CPUs for that socket have igpu, and some dont

So they have to have the ports incase

[crisp granite]

but lana

[ashen spindle]

no they don't lol, they can do but they dont have to

[crisp granite]

on your insane gaming machine

[wheat plume]

insane

[crisp granite]

in which the mobo cost as much as my GPU

why would you need the iGPU outputs?

when you've already got 2 3090's in SLI?

[wheat plume]

gosh I wish I had

[reef tundra]

Why do you even want to run on the integrated graphics anyway. dedicated outperforms it and less heat in the cpu package

[wheat plume]

yep

[pale sigil]

I'd rather have sli 3080

[reef tundra]

I'd rather have 1 million dollars

[proper crystal]

SLi is useless now.

[crisp granite]

I'd rather have a single RTX 3090

and a partner

maybe even a car

[reef tundra]

im in me mums cah, vroom vroom

[crisp granite]

ngl

that's how I roll

[reef tundra]

its better for the tires to roll than the car

[crisp granite]

sure

anyway

my grandparents got the pfizer vaccine an hour ago

[reef tundra]

Pretty high tech stuff

[crisp granite]

they get their booster doses in july

[reef tundra]

is that the one that needs -70 or something to be stored?

[pale sigil]

Didn't say I intended to use it

I'd sell the other one for £1k

[misty pier]

does it really need to be that cold?

[pale sigil]

Yes

[pale sigil]

Yes

[reef tundra]

Newer ones are able to be at more normal temps, if i remember

[pale sigil]

It's why it has to be done in a clinic

[crimson wigeon]

Doesn't it feel very cold when you get it in you?

[pale sigil]

That specific one

[crimson wigeon]

herpderp

[crisp granite]

nope

[reef tundra]

you have about 5 liters of blood to warm that up

[crisp granite]

it was at room ish temp when it was administered

but they were legit pulling out doses and thawing them on demand

[misty pier]

wonder when I’ll get my shot

[true quest]

wonder when i'll get shot

[crisp granite]

hopefully soon, probably soon

[crisp granite]

whenever you choose

don't

[reef tundra]

Yea, if that touched you it would instantly freeze. Which is actually better than if it would be slowly frozen. Smaller ice crystals which might pierce the cellwalls

[crimson wigeon]

I haven't even bothered looking up when I would get my jab, if ever since as far as I know I'm nowhere near being in a risk group

[crisp granite]

yeah

[reef tundra]

If your immunesystem is strong enough it is not even needed

[crisp granite]

if I'm lucky, I'll get my initial dose in september, at the earliest

[crimson wigeon]

Heck for all I know I already had the rona and didn't much care for it

[crisp granite]

not true

[misty pier]

my cousin can’t taste stuff well anymore and that scares me

can’t even enjoy food

[pale sigil]

I got mine the other week

Not mutated yet

[crimson wigeon]

I'd love to become a crocodile

[reef tundra]

About 10% lose their sense of taste and smell, i think

[misty pier]

still not a dice i want to roll

especially with these new strains in the country

it’s spreading again 🗿

[pale sigil]

Corona just wants to be loved

[misty pier]

it’s your crazy ex that won’t stop calling you at 4 am

[crisp granite]

you said it sister

just block them

[wheat plume]

my board sounds like light hailstone xd

[crisp granite]

apply lube, foam the case to control the ping

maybe some better stabs

thicc PBT caps

[reef tundra]

I just hear some audiowaves

[crisp granite]

idk, I just had the worst breakfast I think I can have

[wheat plume]

o?

[crisp granite]

and my brain is shut down

completely

[reef tundra]

Sodium (elemental)

[crisp granite]

no

vodka, 375ml

and a 5 gram pack of roasted seaweed

[wheat plume]

ew

[misty pier]

weed or seaweed

[crisp granite]

seaweed

[wheat plume]

weed from the sea

[misty pier]

ok

being blazed and drunk sounds like a weird combination

[crisp granite]

the snacc you can buy at any asian market or store

[misty pier]

yeah I seen them there

[reef tundra]

With alcohol you want to have a fatty meal atleast that is what my slav bloodline tells me

[crisp granite]

and tbh, the alcohol hasn't kicked in yet

[misty pier]

fat absorb alcohol

[crisp granite]

fine

I'll eat some solid food

[wheat plume]

crumbs and pubes

[crisp granite]

I got some rye bread, mayo and salami

I guess I'll make a sandwich

[misty pier]

how do you get your keyboard that dirty

[wheat plume]

Mine is fair dirty

[crisp granite]

to have pubes on your keeb means you don't trim below deck

[wheat plume]

^

[crisp granite]

which is fucking weird and gross

[misty pier]

[reef tundra]

Compressed air solves much, if not. hydraullic pressure washer will

[wheat plume]

oo

[true quest]

if you don't know how to clean yourself sure

[crisp granite]

ngl, that was me almost every day a while ago

I've cut down my consumption of both to less than 10% of what it was before though

so major W

[reef tundra]

Sir

[crisp granite]

what?

I'm the only other male present

you must be addressing me

[reef tundra]

Im addressing the major

[crisp granite]

oh

🙄

very funny

anyway, I am going to chase this alcohol with food so that I don't die

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/forrest-gump-running-me-when-im-late-tom-hanks-gif-5144739

Alcohol has a delay of 15 minutes i think

[crisp granite]

well then

[reef tundra]

because it gets absorbed by the stomach

[crisp granite]

пиздец

ok then

[reef tundra]

Pizdez indeed

just dont take more or use other depressants and you should be fine

[crisp granite]

I know that much

[reef tundra]

Luckly I dont like being drunk alone.

cant think when drunk which annoys me

[crisp granite]

mhm

[reef tundra]

but it is great when with people

But then I usually overconsume

[crisp granite]

yeah

I'm usually fine up until the half litre mark

[reef tundra]

But the slav blood keeps the hangover away which is nice

[crisp granite]

mhm

thank god for slav blood

[dense yarrow]

any of you guys have a wooting and can help me?

[crisp granite]

I'm just glad I'm also built pretty heavy

[reef tundra]

Only when actually hammered will i puke for an hour or somethin. dont really remember as i was very drunk every time then

[crisp granite]

it takes more than a few drinks to take me down

375ml is pretty much the threshold when I start to feel it

[reef tundra]

for 40% vodka?

[crisp granite]

mhm

ye

[wheat plume]

Someone in server: "Hey, what type of switch would you recommend"
Me: "Looks into their weights and feel and decide"
the person: "Nah, too much effort, I like Logitech"
also the person: Time to buy a Romer G switch logitech board
me: 🤦‍♀️

[crisp granite]

I'll feel like utter shit beyond four drinks

but 375ml is just fine

I'll still be fairly functional

but I'll just chill in bed and hate myself for drinking that much

slav blood, I guess

12 drinks and I'll just feel crumby

[reef tundra]

My limit is about 15 to 20 shots before i just log out of consciousness for a few hours

[crisp granite]

about the same for me tbh

[misty pier]

gat ink blacks with 67g springs

[crisp granite]

but I just tend to shut down when I get drunk

stop thinking

go quiet

[reef tundra]

I tend to become a complete extrovert when im drunk

[crisp granite]

nice

you're probably great to be around when wankered

most likely great to be around in general tbh

[reef tundra]

Hard to tell, but the people that were around will remember

[crisp granite]

and boom

when it hits, it hits like a sledgehammer

I'm gonna lie down

[reef tundra]

Atleast the alcohol supresses pain.

[crisp granite]

mhm

I'm tired AF and feeling incredibly warm

but the awful headache is gone

[reef tundra]

Painkillers tend to be a better choice for pain management. As they dont do the whole alcohol thing

[crisp granite]

yeah

but at least alcohol is well known and understood

humans have been using it for thousands of years at this point

[reef tundra]

The long term effects on the brain, liver and such wasnt known for the greatest part of that time

[crisp granite]

yeah

but humans die from frequent and heavy use of it

which every slav does from the age of 10 on

so, sucks to be us

beer on the playgrounds, and all that fun stuff

since it's a "soft drink" over in russia

[reef tundra]

It is even linked to dementia, personality changes and even psychosis. But the dilirium when in withdrawl scares me the most

[crisp granite]

yeah

I'm just glad I cut down my consumption a lot

that 375ml bottle was for the whole month

so, no more alcohol for me till april

[reef tundra]

I really hope my brain never gets the idea to troll me with the parasitic kind of psychosis

[crisp granite]

hopefully not

I'll play the yamantau level of metro exodus

that's always fun

and not too hard on my smooth and now lubed brain

[reef tundra]

I should play that level with 3+ days of sleep deprivation

[crisp granite]

I can usually just power through with a revolver and ashot

since you get the shambler in the caspian iirc

and honestly

the shambler is my favourite gun in exodus

[reef tundra]

Maybe it will scare the shadow people... or just make me paranoid and unconfortable

[crisp granite]

it just works

😛

[crisp granite]

scare them enough and they might just leave you alone

maybe I should try that

[reef tundra]

I just threaten them with the fact they only exist in my brain and Im not dealing with scary shit and not kill it

[crisp granite]

🙄

people stupid enough to do that aren't worth your time, lana

[wheat plume]

there were another 2 people also explaining not to get romer g

[reef tundra]

My favorite switch is those big red ones with a cover on it

[wheat plume]

but he like "nuu muh logitech"

he says as his current board has two stuck keys on it

after a year

[reef tundra]

wd-40

[crisp granite]

should have told them to get a matias board

those are pog

[wheat plume]

wtf those?

[crisp granite]

matias

the modern torchbearer of alps

a matias tactile pro was my first mech iirc

[wheat plume]

They look like Apple chiclet boards

[crisp granite]

no

[crisp granite]

this

the tactile pro

[cursive summit]

Why are you buying blueprints

Literally looks like a drawing

[reef tundra]

What is that kind of bs peasant shit.

[crisp granite]

my first mech since my fingers started to get really fucked up typing on a chicklet keeb just like that apple shite

[reef tundra]

It looks chubby

[crisp granite]

and

[wheat plume]

i really dont like the design

[crisp granite]

yeah

personally

I don't either

but the switches are amazing

[reef tundra]

Look at the monitor then, its much more interresting typically

[crisp granite]

I bought it for the typing experience when I had finger joints swelling and the tips cracking and bleeding

[wheat plume]

How they make good looking chiclet boards but their mech boards looks like those old kids computers

[crisp granite]

tbh

it is

they made apple keebs until they switched to rubber domes iirc

[wheat plume]

scissor switches

[crisp granite]

right in canookistan

[wheat plume]

oo rose gold

[crisp granite]

don't

[reef tundra]

im just sitting here with some random ass membrane keyboard missing the f12 and right control keykap waiting for the lekker to bless my fingers

[wheat plume]

This seems unrealistic?

[crisp granite]

not really

[wheat plume]

?

[reef tundra]

*which i got for free with something

[crisp granite]

OEM pc?

[reef tundra]

the random keyboard that is

probably

[crisp granite]

they usually include a random cheapo mouse and keeb

[wheat plume]

ooohhh..... 1 year battery life cause no backlight

oof

[crisp granite]

you can get a TKL of them with backlight

don't get them

the tiny travel distance and hard bottom out will fuck up your fingers

like it did mine

[wheat plume]

I always bottom out the keys

[crisp granite]

no

[wheat plume]

its just a habit

[crisp granite]

this is a hella hard bottom out

[wheat plume]

oh

[crisp granite]

combined with the stiff weighting

[wheat plume]

like touchscreen?

[crisp granite]

you're gonna hammer the keys in

[wheat plume]

o

Im not looking for new board anyway xd

[crisp granite]

I like full travel mech switches because I actually get some travel and can type a bit lighter

[reef tundra]

The greatest thing about it is that it works and has volume knob. the downsides are binding, only red lighting, keycaps are worn and it has its own keycap design that is too small to even photogrammetry the shit and im too lazy to make a cad model for it

[crisp granite]

not hammer in the keys like there's no tomorrow

[reef tundra]

8/10 - ign

atleast the silver paint job makes it look somewhat interresting. but i forgot to add a primer and the paint aint sticking to the plastique. so it has some spots where the paint has worn off

[crisp granite]

damn

maybe I should finally try dvorak?

since the matias dvorak pro is $192 CAD plus free shipping

hm

is it worth killing my typing speed in the short term to up it in the long run?

[reef tundra]

you can also remove the keycaps and place them in the dvorak layout. or just change it in software and go with muscle memory

[crisp granite]

and going ansi at the same time?

[crisp granite]

different sculpts

it would feel royally wrong

and super uncomfortable

with uniprofile stuff like IBM buckling spring keys and DSA keycaps, it's fine

but with what I have now, which is OEM, that's a bad idea

[reef tundra]

My mother can type very quickly with the russian keyboard layout from memory. all i got to show for it is able to understand spoken language and very basic reading ability.

[crisp granite]

neither of my parents passed on their mother tongues

not even a bit

and tbh, they were fairly useless languages to know

[reef tundra]

Like French?

[crisp granite]

I had to learn that in school

and seriously, even more so than that

[reef tundra]

That is a crime

[crisp granite]

like lana complained

I have no issues with french in the classroom

[reef tundra]

Tu ne pas parle jaja

[rapid moss]

Every language is useful

[crisp granite]

I just hate how it's shoved down my throat for 11 years of my life

[reef tundra]

Nah, not really

[crisp granite]

no, not portuguese and yiddish

those are two really useless languages

[rapid moss]

You are mesjogge

[reef tundra]

Or early latin

[crisp granite]

no I'm not

I'm pointing out the obvious

[rapid moss]

Portuguese is rather broadly spoken

[reef tundra]

I aint going to join a roman legion anytime soon

[crisp granite]

not where I am

where I am, it's english

and a bit of french

[rapid moss]

You have no use for Portuguese or Yiddish, but that does not make them useless

[crisp granite]

to me, it does

I look at things from my perspective when it comes to usefulness to me

no doubt, knowing portuguese in portugal is important, but not where I am

[reef tundra]

Language is only useful when with others

[rapid moss]

Every language you speak helps you learn another with more ease if you need to

[crisp granite]

meh

I'll learn according to need

for now, I need to know english and a bit of french

[rapid moss]

Portuguese is also spoken in Brazil and a number of countries in Africa

[crisp granite]

I'm well aware of that

I'm not going to any of those places anytime soon

[reef tundra]

I aint looking to get caught in some gang war anytime soon

[crisp granite]

so, not on my list of priorities to learn

[misty pier]

only two languages i want to learn is spanish and french

since those are spoken a lot here

[crisp granite]

southeastern US?

[misty pier]

well, not french here but spanish, yeah

[reef tundra]

I would just choose German and Russian. German sounds like you are swearing all the time and Russian you are swearing all the time

[rapid moss]

Can live with the argument that there are other languages you want to learn before Portuguese or Yiddish

[crisp granite]

yiddish is dying out iirc

[misty pier]

i do want to learn chinese and speak the language of my ancestors

[crisp granite]

[misty pier]

would make buying stuff from taobao and aliexpress easy

[crisp granite]

true that

[thick elk]

To me german mostly sounds slow but friendly.

[rapid moss]

Only when you don't actually understand what's being said in those languages

[reef tundra]

Chinese doesnt change like European languages do. It just adds more words and combinations

[crisp granite]

assuming pinch is talking about gopnik russian

he is right on it being all swears

formal russian is a different beast

[reef tundra]

https://youtu.be/XCyDXRvajyY

Elegence

[rapid moss]

Street slang is a different beast in any language

I've had good use for the languages I speak anyway.

[reef tundra]

Russian Grammer is a fucking lot. and i am unable to grammer in any language

[crisp granite]

same here

[rapid moss]

Native Dutch, fluent in English and German. Can get around in French and understand some Spanish and Portuguese

[crisp granite]

makes sense

fluent in 3 germanic languages

they are fairly similar

[reef tundra]

Ey, G geef mij die frikandel broodje en energie dan

[crisp granite]

more german and dutch

[reef tundra]

They are all descendent from the Germanic family tree after all

[crisp granite]

although dutch seems fairly simple at face value, like some nasty mix of english, french and german

[reef tundra]

it has been much more simplified compared to german in terms of grammar

[rapid moss]

Dutch is actually more related to English than German

[crisp granite]

hm

odd

so

picking it up would be fairly easy if I need to

easier than mandarin (standard chinese) at least

[rapid moss]

Just punch us pesky Dutch in the ribs when we default to English while you want to learn Dutch

[crisp granite]

I'd rather communicate in english when in a state like I am rn

[rapid moss]

Dutch folk speaking English is the biggest hurdle to leaning Dutch

[crisp granite]

makes sense

do all of you default to english?

english is at least easier to pronounce, less hard sounds

[reef tundra]

I would say Dutch is more related to German than English. Most of my ability to understand German is picking up the Dutch words. Plus the grammar, structure and history are more inline. But English is also a Germanic language, so it might have things in common.

[rapid moss]

Most do default to English, in a false sense of being helpful

[thick elk]

dutch german and english are about equally related at their core, however the french influences make a difference in english.

[crisp granite]

mhm

[thick elk]

the main think for dutch people vs germans learning english is that we can pronounce almost all of it perfectly, with except for the th sound.

[reef tundra]

Also the hard G

[thick elk]

of course english does have the easiest grammer of the three and german the hardest.

[reef tundra]

which english doesnt have at all

[crisp granite]

pretty much

it's mostly freeform

[thick elk]

just because we can pronounce everything in english, does not mean the other way around works as perfectly.

[rapid moss]

French has been used as a Lingua diplomatica between English, gealic and German speaking powers

[thick elk]

French has been used in court in most european countries for quite some time.

[rapid moss]

Hence the influence, though the effect on gealic and German was very small

[crisp granite]

a lot of anglo saxon english was modified to fit the norman language

a few letters were dropped

all sorts of odd shit

[reef tundra]

Because it was considered to be of higher class than the English the common peasantry spoke

[thick elk]

Frisian in it's core is the closest related language to English.

[reef tundra]

Frisian is the most odd one in the Germanic languages

[thick elk]

Not really, it just got geographically isolated by dutch and german expanding.

as well as danish expanding.

[crisp granite]

I'm going to assume it's spoken in northeastern france, belgium and places like that

where there are germanic minorities

but in francophone lands

[reef tundra]

In frislan, north-east of the netherlands

[crisp granite]

ah

so, pretty much wrong

[thick elk]

there are some small parts of germany where forms of it are still spoken as well.

[crisp granite]

in the north-west

near the dutch-german border?

alright

I'm gonna take my nap

[fair gull]

ok grandpa

[crisp granite]

good later

[crisp granite]

shut up

[pale sigil]

XD

[crisp granite]

I may have drank a fair bit at 10 in the morning

[pale sigil]

Grandma doge

Grandpa

[crisp granite]

good one

[pale sigil]

Why is my phone against me

[reef tundra]

Grandperson doge

[crisp granite]

grandmaster pussyslayer doge

[pale sigil]

Andddd you ruined it

Gz

[crisp granite]

you're welcome

[reef tundra]

the pussy or the joke because they are both destroyed

[crisp granite]

[wheat plume]

wow :')

[reef tundra]

8-)

[zenith sonnet]

If I were to drink alcohol with an ongoing migraine I'd probably not be able to do anything but sit in a corner and shiver

[crisp granite]

dude

what do you think I'm doing rn

[zenith sonnet]

Iunno

[crisp granite]

exactly what you said

sitting in a corner and letting my body temp regulation go haywire

[reef tundra]

I would pop a ibuprofen and hope the body accepts the tribute

[zenith sonnet]

One?

[crisp granite]

you said don't mix depressants

so

I'm not

[zenith sonnet]

I need eight or so for a heavy migraine

[crisp granite]

I'm going to suffer for my stupidity

[pale sigil]

Ibuprofen and happy pills are fine

Alcohol not so much

[zenith sonnet]

Alcohol + NSAIDs = liver damage

[reef tundra]

actually also the kidney and heart tissue

but mostly with long term use though

acetaminophen does not work on me in any sane dose. I pretty much have to use more than the daily limit to have any effect. Which the liver doesnt like too much

[crisp granite]

with ibuprofen, I need 2 grams to feel any relief

the recommended was 400 mg iirc

so, yeah

I generally avoid that

just because 5 times the recommended dose is a shit idea

[ashen spindle]

there is a 3080 in stock again

[crisp granite]

dude

[pale sigil]

Bargain

[crisp granite]

dude

[wheat plume]

is it under the first if

[crisp granite]

WTF

[reef tundra]

I only need painkillers rarely luckly, mostly gastritis. but ibuprohen is not the best for the stomach and especially while it has an infection.

[crimson wigeon]

What a deal

[reef tundra]

I hate it when my stomach decides to ache. The only thing that made me considering opiodes for painrelief. Which is something you want to avoid. But unable to hold anything in the stomach and being dehydrated is also to be avoided

[crisp granite]

yeah

that's why I haven't eaten much in the past year

[misty pier]

i avoid painkillers if possible

[crisp granite]

my stomach is always irritated and keeping food down is hard

[misty pier]

they only ruin your liver and other organs

[reef tundra]

Its better than forcing yourself to eat and drink to throw it up for that pain relief of a few minutes

[crisp granite]

true

I find that alcohol goes down easy enough and can calm the stomach down enough to actually get some solid food in

I just don't like painkillers in general

[reef tundra]

I know its bad when the taste goes from acidic to extremely bitter

[crisp granite]

bile coming back up does that to me

[reef tundra]

It might be that, i dunno. After that it turns to white foam

[crisp granite]

hm

[reef tundra]

The human body is a scary machine and im operating one

[crisp granite]

IKR!

[reef tundra]

valve, pls fix

[crisp granite]

I'm in control of one of the most sophisticated machines ever made

and I'm trashing it

maybe this one is a lemon

because it barely works

[pale sigil]

I don't take meds often for pain relief

It's very rare

I became pretty tolerant over the years

[reef tundra]

Hmm, mine came with a subconcious that likes to torture me from time to time and keep me alive with my total lack of self preservation

[crisp granite]

mine just clashes with the mind in control

a constant battle

probably because I cut it out a while ago

[reef tundra]

The only think i smoke is big smoke. Traitors end in ditches

[crisp granite]

since I used it as a crutch for the pains of life

pog

well

it was hurting more than it was helping

so I stopped

[reef tundra]

In terms of pain relief, no. in terms of physical addiction and stopping, absolutely

meth is not good at pain killing. for that you have opiates.

Both are to be avoided however

[rapid moss]

I'm lucky and cursed in relation to pain relief.....

Usually 1 aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) does the trick

It's also useless after surgery, because it thins the blood

[reef tundra]

and that is why the US is a third world country, fix it.

[rapid moss]

Paracetamol does not work, and also makes my liver swell

[reef tundra]

that aint too swell

[rapid moss]

Nope

[reef tundra]

Yea, that is a thing

[rapid moss]

So after surgery have only the opiates option

[reef tundra]

Did you know that it is naturally found in some tree?

[crisp granite]

willow bark iirc

[rapid moss]

Birch bark

[crisp granite]

dude

birch bark is used for canoes

and tinder for fires

[ashen spindle]

ofc, all pharma products grow on trees that's why it's all so cheap

[crisp granite]

the inner sections of willow bark is for pain relief

[rapid moss]

For a headache I'd be set chewing on some aspirin containing bark

[misty pier]

i use topical pain ointments

[rapid moss]

Anything that hurts a bit more: ibuprofen

And when bleeding: opiates.....

[crisp granite]

yes, I rub pain relief gels on the inside of my stomach and on my brain

sorry

that was over the top

[misty pier]

🗿

[crisp granite]

shouldn't have exploded like that

[misty pier]

spread on skin, feel the RELIEEEEF

[reef tundra]

Insulin was discovered and was not patented but now does because of bureaucratic bs they payed for with their superpac and bribery bs

[misty pier]

yeah those are awesome

[crisp granite]

maybe I'll try that

they are available here after all

[misty pier]

i put some on my knee to soothe the pain

cause dumb me tripped and fell

[rapid moss]

https://www.riviera.at/holzhacker/

Magic stuff for muscles, joints etc

[reef tundra]

medication costs fractions of a cent to make. the packaging and labelling can be more expensive than the medication.

[vapid zodiac]

I thought that was /slaves on the end, like hold up wtf

[misty pier]

interesting

[rapid moss]

Research and liability make it expensive

[misty pier]

those are legal to purchase?

[crisp granite]

nah

my hands are 50% sandpaper and 50% stone

always

[reef tundra]

Bacteria good for body. bacteria make body happy, when body happy im happy

[crisp granite]

the sanitizer actually helps

otherwise, my hands will get super dry and crack

[rapid moss]

The sanitizer used in hospitals has additives to prevent the dry and cracking

[crisp granite]

I just buy sanitizer with aloe in it

it works

[reef tundra]

if you have to use it daily and often it becomes a need to have that.

[ashen spindle]

that's the x60 Pro+

[reef tundra]

so just a bunch of if statement determining how you will look that day

[rapid moss]

Softest hands I ever had, was when is was doing a surveillance camera housing sanitation project. We had to clean the housings and replace the o-ring seals. Best stuff for lubing them is vaseline.

[reef tundra]

A real camera, with real things where you had to sit silently motionless for an hour like the true camera it is

[urban lynx]

cartons just are moisture vampires

[wheat plume]

SIMBA

[urban lynx]

even my lips start drying out now

[rapid moss]

They were not happy with a previous contractor, all housings leaked all the time. They used some extremely expensive (and toxic) molykote lube

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/take-a-seat-chris-hansen-gif-12085242

[rapid moss]

Lesson learned: want a happy leak proof housing with an o-ring? Use vaseline

[wheat plume]

woah...this is neat

[reef tundra]

OI! Do you have a permit?

[urban lynx]

no matter how much of that lotion i apply to my hands, they get dry way too fast

but at least the company pays for the lotion, lol

[reef tundra]

Company sanctioned lotion

[crisp granite]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-visible-confusion-confused-gif-14771834

did you just say

the company covers what you need, for your wellbeing on the job site?

wtf

[urban lynx]

yes.

cause we arent destroyed by capitalism. yet.

[crisp granite]

a paradise

[reef tundra]

That sounds like humane treatment of workers.. COMMUNISM. DESTROY IT AS YOUR CORPERATE OVERLORD COMMAND IT

[urban lynx]

it's called "anywhere but america"

[crisp granite]

I'll have at least half a dozen reasons to move within 10 years

so, I'll move to europe then

when I really can't put it off any longer

nah

[reef tundra]

You just want a source of unadulterated cocaine dont ya

[crisp granite]

my education is gonna keep me in debt for like 10 years if I work like mad here

so, moving somewhere where a dollar goes further is a bad idea

nah

I'm happy here

besides, europe is more mild in term of weather

doesn't get as hot or as cold

nah

I live less than 10 minute ambulance drive from a world class hospital

my entire city has nothing but the best

and the rest of canada has...an utter crapshoot

that's kinda what we do

but a bit differently

they will accept people from more rural areas in hopes of them practicing in their homes far from the cities

[rapid moss]

Sure, but people in the middle of nowhere need medical care too

[crisp granite]

it's easier to get in if you are from outside the cities

but the education is also worse there

[crisp granite]

the very few who do live out there and haven't moved to one of the great mega cities of japan

that place is becoming mostly urban

[rapid moss]

True

[crisp granite]

they're having bear attacks in the middle of towns

just because so many are leaving for the cities, where the opportunities are

hopefully

[reef tundra]

ban cities, return to monke

[crisp granite]

japan would be weird if it was untamed wilderness outside of the major cities and roads

and it would be pretty cool tbh

neither am I

my skin is white as fresh snowfall

so, no ties at all to that place

[urban lynx]

rural is dying everywhere.

[reef tundra]

I guess they are finnished

[rapid moss]

I just consider myself lucky to live in The Netherlands. I live in a small village (population 5k) on an island, we do have bridges to everywhere, population 50k, with a hospital that cooperates with a big city hospital and an academic hospital.

[crisp granite]

I like the cities, but they have their issues

same with rural

just depends on what you want and value

as with everything, really

[urban lynx]

also partly because small farms cant do well anymore, as the area per farmer ratio gets unbelievable big.... one farm easily holds half the area within horizon to horizon.

[reef patrol]

Denmark's rural areas are also dying...though from cynical design you might say.

Here you don't borrow money from a bank to buy a house, you borrow it from a special sort of housing bank. And they don't want to lend people money to buy houses in rural areas, because they're a bad investment... so people leave the areas over time making them almost abandoned.

It's a good old self fulfilling prophecy that.

[rapid moss]

Cities are nice, when I can leave for my village at night

[crisp granite]

mhm

north of my city is nothing but massive cornfields as far as the eye can see

[urban lynx]

lol. ask zeh germans to buy your rural houses. germans are crazy about danish holiday homes at times

[misty pier]

i prefer rural living since the quality of life is much better than in a city in the US

[crisp granite]

and guns

gun

[misty pier]

gotta have those guns 😎

[crisp granite]

the one thing I'm jealous of you guys for

[misty pier]

jk

[reef patrol]

They're not allowed to by law - Because of the whole "holiday home" thing 😉

[reef tundra]

depends which direction it points to

[misty pier]

i don't care about guns

[crisp granite]

I would love a rifle, just for target shooting when bored

[urban lynx]

canadians can buy guns though

[crisp granite]

can't set up a range in your backyard and shoot targets

that's my issue

[misty pier]

why buy guns when you can buy keyboards smh

[reef patrol]

GUNboards.

[crisp granite]

buy both

😛

[rapid moss]

Guns are nice when used properly

[misty pier]

[crisp granite]

I just like target shooting, which I used to do a while ago

[reef tundra]

Nukes are nice at being a deterrent, if kept that way

[crisp granite]

haven't done it recently

[rapid moss]

Just don't get the popularity of the AR-15 in the US

[misty pier]

my neighbors here use shotguns or whatever

[reef patrol]

Gotta be able to hunt humans.

[crisp granite]

customization

[misty pier]

all i heard was that its moddable

[crisp granite]

so many aftermarket accessories for them

[misty pier]

every kid and every redneck family here owns one

[crisp granite]

what did you expect?

[rapid moss]

AR-15 is only useful for that niche use

[misty pier]

something other than an ar-15

[reef tundra]

its a death stick, point at the thing you want to kill press button. not your toyota

[crisp granite]

I personally really want a C1A1

[ashen spindle]

gotta defend yourself against those 30-50 feral hogs in your yard

[misty pier]

i see you're very canadian

[urban lynx]

seems sensible.
do you know how much can go wrong there?

[rapid moss]

AR-15 is too large for small game, and too small for large game

[crisp granite]

a lot

[reef tundra]

Well become a human hunter that hunts humans

[crisp granite]

but if you live far from anyone else and have a large property, that makes sense

[crisp granite]

calibre conversions

[reef tundra]

Good middle of the road round

common

[crisp granite]

mhm

[reef tundra]

pointy

[crisp granite]

can stop anything in it's tracks while being fairly light in the kickback

[rapid moss]

Mediocre for hunting....

[crisp granite]

it's fine for deer

[urban lynx]

pretty sure you then can get like paperwork and file to get a registered range or something

[crisp granite]

but for big game, I'd want something larger

[crisp granite]

😛

[misty pier]

muh 7.62

[crisp granite]

paperwork sucks

[urban lynx]

then dont come to germany.

[misty pier]

germany loves paperwork huh

[rapid moss]

Would rather use a 7.62 bolt action for hunting

[crisp granite]

I personally would use a ross MkIII for hunting

[reef tundra]

staiga-12 with birdshot

[misty pier]

im glad i dont live in texas

[crisp granite]

straight pull

accurate

.303 british is pretty punchy

[urban lynx]

germany doesnt love paperwork.
germany is paperwork incarnated

[misty pier]

we don't have a pig problem in the southeast

its just deer and ducks

or the occasional bear

[crisp granite]

peking duck from pellets in sky to table?

[misty pier]

never done it before

[crisp granite]

tbh

[misty pier]

i don't own a gun

[rapid moss]

And a shotgun for small game, you might actually hit something, and not obliterate it

[crisp granite]

you would punch some holes in the skin if you did

and the glossy, crispy skin is the best part

[reef tundra]

honey badger

[crisp granite]

like eels

[reef tundra]

not actually made of honey though, the scamming thing it is

oh right kiwi is not only a fruit

[misty pier]

[reef tundra]

i was confused how a fruit was trapping rodents

[misty pier]

A bucket, make the inside slippery, fill with some water, make trapdoor like thing that drops them in the water

self resetting and cheap

yup, pretty much exhaustion and the subsequent drowning

Morality is sold seperatly

[rapid moss]

There is also an Ex version of this, for use in hazardous areas

Have seen these on the grounds of refineries, natural gas distribution stations etc

Critters gnawing the insulation from your cables is not fun

[reef tundra]

the rats may not steal the gas, no free gas

[crisp granite]

actually

with skill

you can down a wild pig with nothing but a knife

the Polynesians have been doing it forever

[rapid moss]

Gas stealing is not the issue, it's the not blowing up part

[reef tundra]

and life long enough to tell your buddy how much in pain you are

[crisp granite]

it's traditional

sneak up behind one, grab the rear legs, lift like a wheelbarrow, rotate and pin on side with a knee

deliver coup de grace with a bowie to the neck

[reef tundra]

I like the modern method more.. point deathstick at the thing and press the button. death flies out

[crisp granite]

true that

[reef tundra]

Less chance of fucking up and being just beside it for it to attack you and likely kill you

[crisp granite]

use an optic and get them from a longer range

you risk spooking them with every step closer

then use a shotgun

if you can't get them from afar

spew a shitload of lead at them

[reef tundra]

Then bring an axe or machete aswell if you like

Like ammo

and your pants

[crisp granite]

then get a saiga or some other semi auto shotgun

unless they banned that in hawai'i

[reef tundra]

Belt fed fully automagic birdshot

[crisp granite]

I know they ban autoloaders in all sorts of places

dang

[reef tundra]

Become the sherrif

[urban lynx]

i mean i get it, guns are kind of nice and all.
but why would you need so damn much anyway?

[crisp granite]

I'd need 2 tops

EDC handgun

rifle for target shooting and hunting

that's really it

[reef tundra]

Incase you get invaded by navy seals and you have a militia at home aswell

[urban lynx]

how much money do you fucking have?

[crisp granite]

saki

you can get a nice gun for a few hundred in america

[urban lynx]

my monthly income equates to barely above 500$ a month.

[crisp granite]

um

that's below minimum wage right?

that can't be right

[urban lynx]

and yeah, i know guns dong need to cost that much, my two pistols both were around like 200-250

[reef tundra]

Guns are pretty cheap. if you consider the damage it can do. Also precision metal and glass work

[crisp granite]

saki has two pistols

cute and dangerous

[urban lynx]

...

my grandpa has a bunch of black powder pistols, the ones you gotta front load

also a few muskets like that too

[crisp granite]

damn

wild

[urban lynx]

i think he even has a black powder revolver for some reason somewhere in his basement

[reef tundra]

hehe all chambers go boom

[crisp granite]

the most modern handgun I can get is a c96

😆

they have super tight regulations on pistols made after 1896

[reef tundra]

Just like...

[crisp granite]

most of the legal weapons here are rifles

[reef tundra]

giggle

[crisp granite]

lots of milsurp long rifles

[urban lynx]

france for example says if your gun is long enough it's legal. cause you cant just hide it.

[reef tundra]

so long pistols

[urban lynx]

like, if you were to go with evil intent, they'd see it. cause it's long. you know.

[crisp granite]

12 inch barrel revolver time boiz

[reef tundra]

if pistol long barrel legal

[urban lynx]

though i think they also got some kind of automatic ban

[crisp granite]

they also ban military calibres

[reef tundra]

Why would i raid a militairy base now?

[crisp granite]

no

in france

[reef tundra]

cant even steal the ammo

[crisp granite]

you can't have a weapon that uses any ammo french forces use

[reef tundra]

Scared of another revolution are they

[urban lynx]

germany is a bit... awkward regarding gun ownership

[crisp granite]

so, .32ACP exploded in popularity right after the french discontinued using them

in the 50's iirc

sounds about right

[reef tundra]

they forgot one thing, the guns in the french revolution were mostly taken from militairy forts and the like

[crisp granite]

lol

[urban lynx]

alright, i'm out though, i actually got an appointment with a friend

[crisp granite]

bai saki

[reef tundra]

Why buy guns if you can just storm with your mates some roleplayers in their fort and take their stuff

[crisp granite]

um

[reef tundra]

and it even is all militairy grade

[crisp granite]

most guns for firing blanks aren't built to withstand actual firing pressures

for muskets

for roleplay with semi modern firearms

they usually weld a post into the barrel

that prevents you from chambering an actual round

no clue

[reef tundra]

Liouis phillipe 2 that poor he had to arm his army with paper guns? If he just had let them eat cake..

[crisp granite]

it's not me?

[crisp granite]

I'd be happy with one of the hardest guns to get here

fuck me

[reef tundra]

fully automatic famas?

[crisp granite]

nope

a C1A1

canadian FALs, semi auto only

funnily enough

the one place they didn't want then as milsurp was...canada

so, they had to do some trickery to get some in

and those all have homes

they filed off markings of both the OPP and CF on them

so, it's just serial numbers

[reef tundra]

stop gun abuse

[crisp granite]

but the sights make them pretty easy to tell apart from any other FALs

they have these wild aperture sights

[reef tundra]

donate to stop the mutalation of guns and give them a loving home

[crisp granite]

besides

they were known for being really damn good rifles

accurate

and reliable AF

it can even take stripper clips

POG

FAL+Stripper Clips

[reef tundra]

poor mans magazine

kriss vector is pretty interresting. Mostly for the insane firing rate

[crisp granite]

I personally don't care for fire rate much

[reef tundra]

But with the magazine being less than 30 it is pretty useless

[crisp granite]

but then again, I mostly like accuracy, not spewing ammo

I mean

my dream rifle is semi auto

[crisp granite]

the ross rifle also has one cool quirk

reassemble it wrong and it will take your eye out
