I mean I'm not using headphones lol

gentle moss
#

ahhhh

#

yeah, definitely not

sand goblet
#

have this anker bluetooth speaker

#

I also skip the song about the guy having an orgy with two elves

gentle moss
#

hahaha

sand goblet
#

"uhh.. That's a little bigger than I was expecting.. WHICH ONE OF US ARE YOU USING THAT ON?"

gentle moss
#

when i was working saturday i was blasting Mindless Self Indulgence without realising that someone else sharing the office floor was in work

#

they were sat in their desk in peace and quiet and i turned on our 500watt speaker system

sand goblet
#

hahaha, yikes

gentle moss
#

full volume "SON OF A BITCH, GOD LIKES ME, I AM THE BEST, FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE, SUCK ON MY DICK"

sand goblet
#

haha, that's epic

#

did they come find you?

gentle moss
#

no, i walked to the cabinet on the other side of the floor singing along so i could go patch some switches

#

then just saw them

sand goblet
#

...lol

#

that's hilarious

gentle moss
#

few awkward looks later i ssh'd into the raspi and turned it off

#

my boss came in at 1pm and didn't know she was there either

#

he was making tea and she walked into the kitchen and scared the shit out of him

#

tea down his trousers

#

👌

sand goblet
#

hahaha, yikes

gentle moss
#

i mean, that company doesn't pay overtime and never works weekends so...

sand goblet
#

Makes sense

#

ah, this song

#

cherry, cherry, cherry bon-bon

#

I fucking hate this music but I also love it

#

I hatelove it

gentle moss
#

man, i can just tell alexa to play pon pon pon and she's fine with it

#

but i want to listen to just some rammstein and she's got problems

sand goblet
#

you have to say it like a british fool

#

ram styne

gentle moss
#

i've had to refine my accent for use with it

sand goblet
#

mine is set to the US store

gentle moss
#

like i'm a tourist trying to explain someone to someone

sand goblet
#

haha

#

yeah

#

Mine is set to the US alexa and kindle store because I wanted the sonos skill

#

it's usually OK though

#

has no idea what half seven means

#

it thinks that means 7:00

gentle moss
#

what

#

that sounds more like French time keeping

sand goblet
#

I mean obviously I wanted 7:30

#

so then I have to cancel the alarm and make a new one

stark prawn
#

I would've guessed 6:30

gentle moss
#

see, it's weird how time keeping isn't universal

stark prawn
#

half zeven would be 6:30 in dutch

gentle moss
#

yeah, half 7 here means half past the hour 7

#

not half an hour before 7

sand goblet
#

yep

gentle moss
#

for the french it means anywhere between 6 and 8

#

¬_¬

sand goblet
#

hahaha

#

yeah

stark prawn
#

I'd go insane with that

gentle moss
#

i like things to go smooth.

#

accurate time keeping is nice for that

jovial lava
#

hio

sand goblet
#

hey @gentle moss, do you have a RITA?

#

gotta have that RFC 2321 compliance

gentle moss
#

RITA? isn't that a tax thing?

sand goblet
#

No, no

#

haven't you seen that RFC?

gentle moss
#

not that specific one, no

sand goblet
#

the reliable internetwork troubleshooting agent

gentle moss
#

i'm working my way through them like a book

sand goblet
#

RITA

gentle moss
#

i'm up to RFC1

sand goblet
#

:P

#

Read that one

#

I think you'll agree that it has some value to you

gentle moss
#

ooooh, it's what spawn SNMP

sand goblet
#

this RFC is unusual in that it contains a diagram

gentle moss
#
     o  Networks where the root bridge for a world-wide bridged
        network is suboptimally located, such as under the desk of a
        secretary who kicks off her shoes when she arrives in the
        morning.```
#

hahaha

sand goblet
#

:P

gentle moss
#

it's a rubber duck, isn't it

sand goblet
#

yes

#

a rubber chicken

gentle moss
#

aw, close

sand goblet
#

:P

#

you hit things with it

gentle moss
#
   3.1   The first method provides a broad-spectrum evaluation of
   quality of the entity tested, and is thus known as the BS eval test.```
#

:D

#

jesus, the early days of RFC writing must've been a blast between proper nerds

sand goblet
#

haha, yeah, I bet

gentle moss
#

god damn i snapped a b string

#

i wonder if people who play trumpets and shit have that problem

#

"oh no, one of my valves has busted"

sand goblet
#

trumpet maintainance is a bitch

gentle moss
#

i can imagine

#

my sister was a flutist

#

that thing was a pig to maintain

#

had to go from acoustic guitar to electric, not cool

#

like when bob dylan did it but this time it's not through choice

sand goblet
#

:P

#

I keep being told I should learn violin

#

or I should learn saxophone

#

or I should learn trombone

#

or I should learn guitar

#

but shit, man, you think I have time for that?

gentle moss
#

i'm lucky that i got into music early

#

and then didn't have to go to school so could just hone my craft

sand goblet
#

I mean, I can piano like you can guitar, but I don't because I just have no use for it

gentle moss
#

emotional release?

#

i mean, for me that's what my musical ability has become

sand goblet
#

although maybe the difference for me is that I didn't want to practise

gentle moss
#

less about performing for others or learning songs but being like

sand goblet
#

I had to

gentle moss
#

"eh, i want this feeling to make a noise"

#

i didn't want to practice cello AT ALL

#

but i got good at it and when i was allowed moved onto other instruments

#

i regret giving up cello now, that shit sounds sweet as tits

sand goblet
#

I liked piano

#

I just hated classical music

#

and all of the piano grades are classical piece after classical piece

gentle moss
#

you know i think that's why i hated cello

#

it was always orchestra practice and shit

#

never having a blast or a laugh

sand goblet
#

like some of my favourite pieces

#

one of them is classical, a chopin song

#

the rest is stuff like

#

the silent witness theme

#

to zanarkand from final fantasy

#

oh, I guess I liked gymnopedie, but I don't remember it well anymore

gentle moss
#

if i'd known about rasputina or some other metal based cello band while i was still learning cello i probably wouldn't have switched to drums or bass

#

check out uhhh.... "Trench Mouth" by Rasputina if you can spotify

sand goblet
#

yeah, I've heard stuff like this before

gentle moss
#

i never realised cellos could be used like that

#

coolest thing i ever had to do as a cellist in an orchestra

sand goblet
#

check out apocalypta

rough sapphire
#

@sand goblet didn’t u use to have the owner rank?

gentle moss
#

yeah, heard already

#

oh god

#

i'm fed up of this now

#

can people shut up?

rough sapphire
#

What

sand goblet
#

@rough sapphire congratulations, you are the millionth customer

#

okay, but seriously though

gentle moss
#

i've only been back 2 weeks and it's pissing me off

rough sapphire
#

Sooorryy just wondering

sand goblet
#

yes

#

is the answer to your question

#

:P

#

I left to look after myself

gentle moss
#

:D

#

we need to do that sometimes

#

hence why i went off work n shit

sand goblet
#

it didn't realy work and now I have nothing

#

but that's okay

gentle moss
#

anyway, coolest thing i had to do as a cellist in an orchestra

#

is one piece of music called for you to spin your cello round so the strings faced you

#

then take the flat of your palm and slide it up the back

#

because it's varnished it makes a squeak

sand goblet
#

man that's not nearly as cool as being a bassoon player

gentle moss
#

and not being heard?

sand goblet
#

bassoon players love to sneak beegees songs into pieces

gentle moss
#

yeah, i'm a massive bill bailey fan too ;)

sand goblet
#

:>

#

this song is great

#

BUT I'M TINY LIKE A DOORMOUSE

#

SHORT LIKE A BUNGALOW HOUSE

gentle moss
#

him and tim minchin are probably two of my favourites just for their musical talents and stuff

sand goblet
#

yeah I like Tim as well

gentle moss
#

i learned to play the pope song on guitar and made a pub angry one summer

#

not because of the pope stuff

#

just because i spent a few minutes singing fuck really loudly

sand goblet
#

haha

#

fuck the motherfucker, he's a fucking motherfucker

#

that one?

#

he has a few

gentle moss
#

fuck the mother fucker fuck the mother fucker fuck the mother fucker he's a total mother fucker if you cover for another mother fuck who's a kiddy fucker fuck you you're not better than the mother fucking rapist

#

#

Storm

gentle moss
#

#

#

sand goblet
#

Yeah, it was great

gentle moss
#

#

15 Minutes of Shame

sand goblet
#

sand goblet
#

gentle moss

A laugh

sand goblet
#

Laff.

gentle moss
#

i want to know where the other 3 of the 5 e-cigarette batteries i have went

#

i've never lost an object as much as these bastards

lilac glade
#

Maybe that's a sign.

sand goblet
#

A sign that you need more e-cig batteries

gentle moss
#

that i should give up this habit that i only maintain because i like the feeling of stuff in my lungs?

#

because gdude is closer

sand goblet
#

:P

#

literally.

gentle moss
#

i did have 7

#

2 have been deemed MIA

#

probably in the depths of the sofa or smth

sand goblet
#

Time to get a snorkel

#

must be one in your bedroom somewhere

gentle moss
#

we'd have to flip it upside down then cut all the hessian off the bottom

#

fucking rat got into the underside of the sofa the other day

#

managed to tunnel down the back cushions

sand goblet
#

Yikes

gentle moss
#

gf lets them out like that all the time but i've got a thing against it

#

i like to know where they are at all times

lilac glade
#

Just teach em to fetch items.

gentle moss
#

they're cute as shit

#

sand goblet
#

Oh, I know that one

#

it's "luck in the air tonight"

#

\o/

gentle moss
#

haha

#

how is that even a phrase

sand goblet
#

it's not that

#

I missed a word

#

:P

summer rampart
#

luck be in the air tonight?

gentle moss
#

i didn't realise they used the vernacular of a farmer

sand goblet
gentle moss
#

haha

#

man, i've talked to people who were alive during the troubles and didn't even realise it was a thing that was actually happening

#

like places in London and shit being bombed

#

then again i've got friends who almost got blown up by some of the bombs so

#

swings and roundabouts

sand goblet
#

Yeeep

#

Definitely a sports club

rain spindle
#

@sand goblet Is that a joke? Showing somewhere to do with where you live?

sand goblet
#

No this is where I job

#

That lower window is where my office is

rain spindle
#

Wtf

#

Can I try and figure out where that is?

sand goblet
#

It's not exactly hard to figure out

#

Considering I've said where it is

rain spindle
#

Yes

#

I'm confused why your comfortable giving that info out

lilac glade
#

doxxed kid
gg

sand goblet
#

Because I'm not a scared teenager

rain spindle
#

So in theory your more worried about a IP address than your real address being leakedm

sand goblet
#

Nah I don't give a shit about that either

#

Most people have the good sense to know that if they stalk me, I'll fuck them up

rain spindle
#

Lmaooo

#

im seatbelt c:

sand goblet
#

I forget

#

It's been a while

lilac glade
#

They put countertops in

gentle moss
#

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

#

granite?

sand goblet
#

That's niice

#

not a fan of the sink though

#

:P

gentle moss
#

i'd go with a draining pan

lilac glade
#

I didn't get to decide on the sink.
Blame my brother for that one.

gentle moss
#

your brother never does the washing up i take it

lilac glade
#

Also, I do think that's granite.

#

Nope.

gentle moss
#

apparently granite is a bitch

#

can't put hot pans on it and stuff

sand goblet
#

can confirm

#

have granite

gentle moss
#

idk why it became a surface of choice

#

formica is better

sand goblet
#

it looks badass

gentle moss
#

if i chrome plated my cock it'd look bad ass

#

doesn't mean it's practical

sand goblet
#

yeah but now I get to say that my kitchen was a mountain once

lilac glade
#

I'll ask about it later.

gentle moss
#

one of our customers is literally the largest distributor of stone in the UK

#

i've got coasters which are stone mined from half way around the world that they use as samples for customers

#

:D

#

like they'll buy a bulk of stone just because it has a pretty red streak through it or w/e

lilac glade
#

That's sick.

gentle moss
#

weird business and most of their expense is logistic

#

we've been trying to upgrade their logistics systems but it's hard because they're like £500k of sales a week

#

they use the calendars in outlook to organise delivery logistics

lilac glade
#

Sounds like a horror story.

gentle moss
#

yeah, they already use sap for accounting and other logistics

#

so why they wouldnt integrate that into the logistics of delivery i don't know

#

but we're helping

#

2 new terminal servers for £30k and a new sap server for £20k

#

good business

gentle moss
#

I'M GONNA FIND YOU MR POCKET

if i knew smoking 60 a day gave me his voice i might consider it

gentle moss
#

i'm bored so i'm just gonna throw it out here before i watch a movie but if anyone thinks they can top me in a deliverance style duel they can pm me and we'll settle this like reasonable human beings

vestal briar
#

i think thy lord bisk is having a one-sided convo

gentle moss
#

i think you can go toss a banana

#

there's a gap between conversational elements.

vestal briar
#

done it an hour ago

#

sorry what

gentle moss
#

people can pick up on it how they want

#

you chose your way

#

we got 3 ot's

vestal briar

gentle moss
#

#

I can see one of the game company buildings from here

#

but I keep forgetting what it's called..

#

Konami!

tiny raven
#

Whats cooler than being cool

tired osprey
#

Being cooler

#

Obviously

sand goblet
#

Ice cold!

tiny raven
#

Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright

sand goblet
#

I haven't heard that song in years

#

Good shit

rough sapphire
#

does anyone here speak russian

#

Pretty sure Mark does (one of our Helpers)

gentle moss
#

i spilled water on my phone and it's got behind the glass -.-

#

i now have some water colour art between the glass and panel

#

the question is do i disassemble the phone and risk bricking it or do i just put up with it

tiny raven
#

Take it to a professional ASAP. They can fix these things

gentle moss
#

i am a professional

#

:p

rough sapphire
#

what sorta phone is it

gentle moss
#

Nexus 5, so pretty easy

rough sapphire
#

dont you have insurance..

gentle moss
#

i think the glass front comes off with a suction cup and some heat applied

#

the Nexus 5 came out in 2013

rough sapphire
#

oh.. that explains why no IP protection :v

gentle moss
#

yah

#

i mean the thing has been dropped in a sink and a toilet already

#

still runs flawlessly

tiny raven
#

You're a klutz

#

But so am i

#

I once marched into the ocean with one in my pocket

gentle moss
#

I'm generally not a clutz, which is why i've owned the same phone since 2013 without causing any serious damage to it

#

:P

tiny raven
#

Ow

gentle moss
#

when you outright buy a phone rather than get it on contract you tend to take more care of it

tiny raven
#

My next phone will be a pixel 4

#

If there is a pixel 4

gentle moss
#

i was looking at some Hauwei, very good for their price range

rough sapphire
#

Huawei is good.. I own one..

gentle moss
#

and i swear to god if someone brings up the chinese conspiracy shit i'll slap them

tiny raven
#

So let's delete that message

gentle moss
#

:P

rough sapphire
#

the battery life is not great though... lasts one day, two at max

gentle moss
#

i get a day charge out my nex 5

#

which is impressive for its age

tiny raven
#

Same

#

I really don't have a high end phone

rough sapphire
#

one day if you use bluetooth for two hours and pokemon go for three though :v

tiny raven
#

The best I ever had was getting a nex 4 in '16

gentle moss
#

I had a nex 4

#

but the glass back pissed me off

tiny raven
#

Which I bricked after a week

gentle moss
#

cracked so easily

rough sapphire
#

don't really see the point of a high end phone.. I can't stand people with iphones who don't know shit but flaunt it as a 'status' symbol..

tiny raven
#

I rarely break machines, but when I do, it's liquid damage

#

@rough sapphire they aren't even that great. Way overpriced

rough sapphire
#

ikr.. glad they're finally shutting shop

gentle moss
#

aw fuck sake

#

it's a back to front disassembly

#

:/

tiny raven
#

Oof

gentle moss
#

should do it on stream ¬_¬

#

extra pressure

tiny raven
#

I'd watch that

rough sapphire
#

was gonna suggest Spongebob for the background noise, to get the edge off lol

tiny raven
#

It's the BEST DAY EVER

#

SWEET VICTORY

#

A few classics

gentle moss
#

problem is all my google auth tokens for work are on the phone

#

so if i brick it i may lose a bunch of important shit

rough sapphire
#

aww man.. I would die

tiny raven
#

Back. It. Up

rough sapphire
#

here's a tip.. norton security safe to keep your pwds safe

tiny raven
#

Now we know who today's sponsor is

gentle moss
#

the only time i would install anything norton is when you take out half my prefrontal cortex

tiny raven
#

Ow

#

Yt'ers who upload once a week still b like today's sponsor is ____

gentle moss
#

it's the ribbon cable at the bottom that means you have to take the whole thing apart

tiny raven
#

That's not good

#

So your stuff is backed up, yes?

gentle moss
#

ofc

#

google auth tokens don't get backed up though, afaik

tiny raven
#

Good

gentle moss
#

unless i root the phone i guess

tiny raven
#

See if you can contact Google support or something, maybe they can be added to your account

#

That usually works

gentle moss
#

pretty sure there's a reason they wont back up 2fa codes

#

:P

tiny raven
#

Rip

#

Alright contact customer support

gentle moss
#

You're not familiar with this type of stuff are you. :D

#

Maybe I can get the front lifted enough without fucking the digitiser

tiny raven
#

Yes, I am

#

Well, with laptop support anyways

gentle moss
#

"hey, google. can you back up all the 2fa codes for all our production servers please?"

#

:3

tiny raven
#

Lol

#

So that's a little different

#

I didn't quite realise that part

gentle moss
#

well i think it'd be a little dumb if the google auth app backed up codes

#

idk, maybe it does

#

seems like a stupid thing to do though

#

right, fuck it. got nothing better to do today

#

stream time

#

after a few more coffees

tiny raven
#

Channel name, I'll watch xD

gentle moss
#

don't worry, i'll link it up

tiny raven
#

Kk

gentle moss
#

so you work in hardware repair?

tiny raven
#

Yes, mainly laptops

gentle moss
#

that's the sorta stuff i started on

#

home PC and laptop repair

#

snapped hinges, hdd replacements, screens, that kind of stuff

#

isn't a Macbook Pro just one of the most beautiful things to take apart?

#

terrifying, but beautiful

i like not having clouds in my phone

#

a simple request

#

annoyingly i don't have fucking isopropyl either

#

they don't half make them small these days

stark prawn
#

is that the new one?

#

eye pad 5?

sand goblet
#

I don't think you'll be playing candy crush on that one

gentle moss
#

well shit balls

#

it looks like the digitiser, lcd panel and glass are kinda one unit

#

feck

#

think i might just buy a replacement screen unit

#

man, they make it so hard to repair your own god damn phones these days

#

nexus 4 was like 4 torx screws and you were in

tired osprey
#

They make it hard to repair everything

#

Why does that battery look like it has a fossil in it

gentle moss
#

that's the digitiser / lcd / glass assembly

stark prawn
#

These are getting harder and harder to seperate

gentle moss
#

oh no, you're right that's the frame

#

i guess that's the glue patch for the battery

#

fuck it, i'm just going to take it apart for a bit of practice

#

been a while :D

#

don't worry, the mistakes will be televised

#

the actual screen and digitiser assembly is about 6 layers

#

ah great, my phantom power unit has just died

#

:D

#

@tiny raven

tired osprey
#

Wait for meee

gentle moss
#

done it

#

👌

#

if i had real contact cleaner or isopropyl i could've got it perfect

#

but for just using nail polish remover it's done a great job

#

i even got some spare parts

sand goblet
#

They look kinda like falling bullets

gentle moss
#

:D

shell blade
#

sometimes when life is tough i wonder am i iterable or a iterator

gentle moss
#

i suspect it's internal plastic structure that's not really needed

#

since everything is connected to a metal chassis

#

ooooh, better check it charges

#

oh man i'm good

#

holy shit, both the speakers actually work now

shell blade
#

so when would you use a iterator or generator i'm pretty weak on this subject

#

like what would be a real world coding example of this subject

#

not an example of it but real use real application

sand goblet
#

There are some pretty good uses of it in the Python standard library

#

essentially one of the big uses of it is to defer calculation of each result until it's needed - we call this lazy evaluation

#

for example, if you have a function, double_int, and it doubles the first argument and returns it

#

if you had a list of 500 numbers, you could use map to map it over the entire list

#

but it wouldn't actually run it against all of the elements of that list immediately

#

when you start to iterate over that map object, you pull the first result - and it is calculated and returned when you request it

#

this means that in the event of you not needing all of the results, you're not calculating more values than you actually need

shell blade
#

thus saving memory

sand goblet
#

and time

#

yeah

shell blade
#

that makes sense

sand goblet
#

there are disadvantages to this

#

if you're guaranteed to need all of the values, you don't have a way to force all of those values to be calculated ahead of time

#

(you can use a generator expression instead, eg [double_int(x) for x in y])

#

generator expressions aren't evaluated lazily

shell blade
#

k

#

thanks

sand goblet
#

No problem

hey @sand goblet, i just realised i'm actually not far off RFC 2321 compliance

it's so they can get more misery into one day

“This racist arson attack by racists may well have been racially motivated. However, we can’t rule out the possibility that it was just a normal arson attack carried out by individuals on the basis of their vile hatred of people based solely on their skin colour,” confirmed Sergeant Sean Caskhill.

boom, i was born to write shitty cards

sand goblet

The fallout from the Rooksey fire is ongoing as all future proposed sites for accepting asylum seekers must now be made exclusively from fire extinguishers and the owners of sites must now go around the locality and beyond asking racists for permission to accept asylum seekers.

In an education drive leaflets will be distributed to every house in the country with a helpful guide on how not to set hotels and buildings on fire.
#

haha, nice card

gentle moss
#

hah

#

see that shit on the news all the time

#

"racially charged" or w/e

#

rather than just straight up fucking calling people out for being racist

sand goblet
#

the way they put it makes it sound like we could make a racist battery

gentle moss
#

haha

sand goblet
#

like, just get all the racists in a single room and power the world from their hatred

gentle moss
#

imagine that, actually harnessing their power to help the people they hate

#

they'd fucking hate that

#

more free electricity

tame terrace
#

racists as batteries? sure.

gentle moss
#

ooooooh

#

well tbh, he's quite skin headed there

#

but that's not his fault, it's just how he was raised

tame terrace
#

haha, I wasn't calling keanu reeves a racist

sand goblet
#

haha

#

just realised I was talking about this while listening to a song named "Chinese"

tame terrace
#

I just thought it was funny because of the obvious reference

#

anyway carry on

sand goblet
#

:P

tame terrace
#

I should watch that movie again, it's been a million years.

gentle moss
#

the thing is "racist battery" can be more than one thing

sand goblet
#

haha, yes, I suppose it can

gentle moss
#

a battery charged by racism, a racist battery, or battery by a racist.

sand goblet
#

smacking racists around with a big black pudding

#

wasn't that a thing The Goons did in one of their sketches?

#

or was it uhh

tame terrace
#

or a whole battery of racists with which to attack

sand goblet
#

the goodies

#

haha, like a missile battery

gentle moss
#

i never realised the diversity of the word battery until now

tame terrace
#

fire the racism missiles!

sand goblet
#

it's been a while since I've laughed this much at work

#

:P

gentle moss
#

now if we could just harness that for clean energy...

sand goblet
#

It wouldn't be as efficient though

#

you'd have to bleep out all the swearing

tame terrace
#

I don't know if hate is a renewable source.

#

it might be clean, but what happens if we run out

gentle moss
#

well it's obviously kind of like tidal energy

sand goblet
#

Nah, it's fine, just get an indian guy with his african wife to walk past the window every so often

gentle moss
#

you'd need a racist battery battery to even out the power distribution over time

sand goblet
#

lol a racist battery battery

gentle moss
#

else you'll get spikes in the grid

sand goblet
#

we getting meta now

gentle moss
#

like when obama got elected

#

you'd hit peak racism

tame terrace
#

intentionally inciting racism for energy seems immoral.

sand goblet
#

Yeah, good point

#

then again, it's not good for anything else either

tame terrace
#

like a black carrot on a stick

gentle moss
#

rofl

#

it's funny because they WOULDN'T want the carrot

#

but they can never stop seeing it

sand goblet
#

I feel like this could be the plot for a new matrix movie or something

#

haha

tame terrace
#

or a black mirror episode

sand goblet
#

I can't tell if that's a pun since I know nothing about black mirror :P

gentle moss
#

it's both a pun and accurate

#

Black Mirror is some harrowing shit in places

#

like an Adam Curtis documentary but fiction

tame terrace
#

you should see black mirror. it's highly entertaining byte-sized technological dystopia

sand goblet
#

Noted

#

oh, or, it could be like monsters inc

#

with their scream/laugh power

gentle moss
#

there are some episodes i feel too uncomfortable to watch

tame terrace
#

it's occasionally deeply unsettling, yes.

#

every episode is basically a short film

#

none of them are related to each other.

#

at least not in any nominal way

#

and they all deal with super interesting what ifs, especially where near future tech is concerned.

sand goblet
#

I see

tame terrace
#

I'd be pretty surprised if it wasn't your kind of thing, tbh

#

and there's only a handful of episodes in total anyway

#

like 4-5 per season

sand goblet
#

It doesn't really sound like my kind of thing

#

but

#

I don't watch things anyway

tame terrace
#

you'll like the tech. and you enjoy this kind of silly what iffage.

sand goblet
#

I don't really like dark things though

gentle moss
#

i find it to be like an introspective look on where we are and where we could go as a society

#

yeah, don't watch black mirror then

tame terrace
#

well it's not dark in a very traditional way.

#

it's dark because it explores morally difficult ideas while it does its what if.

#

takes ideas to their extremes.

gentle moss
#

and often it's stuff that you could actually see happening in reality

tame terrace
#

yeah

#

those are the difficult episodes

gentle moss
#

that's the unsettling bit

tame terrace
#

"oh my god this is eerily realistic"

sand goblet
#

I mean, I have a pretty optimistic view of most tech I think

tame terrace
#

me too

#

which is why I'm mostly immune to it :D

gentle moss
#

same, however i pay far too much attention to politics

tame terrace
#

hear hear.

#

I think you just passed the turing test, bisk

gentle moss
#

haha

tame terrace
#

such startling self-awareness. :D

gentle moss
#

i'm a real boy!

sand goblet
#

:P

#

I pay attention to politics

#

but mostly satirical politics

gentle moss
#

it's a nicer way to absorb a lot of it

#

and really, quite often, both real news and satire are fundamentally the same

#

fucking MPs genuinely suggesting that Ireland should rejoin the UK like wtf? :D

sand goblet
#

(thanks for the follow)

#

Also lol, yeah

#

that was hilarious

gentle moss
#

as you can tell, my twitter is full of bollocks. 👌

sand goblet

as it is for most of us :P

frozen current

Humans are not Turing-Complete as they can't fully emulate any other human ablobthinking

can't they?

"They told me I could be anything"

"So I decided to be a bisk"

frozen current
#

No matter how much I know about my sister, I can't emulate her thoughts and emotions

sand goblet
#

Yeah you can

#

well okay, maybe you can't

#

but I can

gentle moss
#

i'd give it a good whack

#

my butt looks great in heels

sand goblet
#

haha

#

I mean that is a thing most people do all the time

#

that's empathy

gentle moss
#

haha

frozen current
#

So you're saying if you were told to be your sister, your life would be exactly like she'd have lived it, one to one every minute action

sand goblet
#

No, because fuck being someone else, but I do have the capability to psychologically change in that way

gentle moss
#

like, i'm sure i could force myself to love avocado toast and wake up at 7am or something

#

and that's very much not me

#

avocados are shit

sand goblet
#

have to agree there

#

it's kind of like eating butter, except it tastes like grass

gentle moss

they never stop

car doors, touching her belly, not being princess diana

hah

sand goblet
#

Despite mostly being about Irish politics, they do a great job with UK stuff

#

although I loved the bread shit last year

gentle moss
#

i do love toast

#

i believe my gluten free bread is imported too

#

may have to survive on potatoes forever after brexit

tame terrace
#

ireland has garbage bread anyway

sand goblet
#

Some of it is OK

gentle moss
#

no, you don't understand lemon and bread

#

he's got some vendetta against pre-sliced bread

sand goblet
#

yes, most of the pre-sliced bread here is not great

#

lol

#

sourdough is pretty easy to find though, and that stuff is nice

tame terrace
#

pre-sliced bread is the fast-food of bread.

gentle moss
#

i've seen those nords and their breads

#

slicing machines IN THE SUPERMARKET

tame terrace
#

haha. yes.

oak tangle
#

Yeah, that was "even wennen"

#

Getting used to

gentle moss
#

it's borderline fetishism

tame terrace
#

I don't use the slicing machines very often. bread shouldn't be kept sliced, it dries much faster.

gentle moss
#

that's why i keep mine in the freezer

#

then take out slices as and when i need them

tame terrace
#

that's worse. freezer bread is only good for toasting

gentle moss
#

gluten free bread is only good for toasting so

sand goblet
#

We have the slicing machines too

tame terrace
#

M&S has okay bread iirc

#

but when I went to dunnes or something it was like holy shit endless shelves of presliced, tasteless, dry toast bread.

#

made me homesick as fuck

gentle moss
#

yes but M&S is also the type of place to sell stuff like this

tame terrace
#

hahaha

#

too true

#

that bag sums up m&s quite well :D

gentle moss
#

i was actually looking for a weirder one that i know exists

#

i love the fact there's a fucking wooden spoon of salt on the packet

sand goblet
#

Dunnes is kind of garbage

#

it's owned by walmart

gentle moss
#

oh so like the ASDA of Ireland?

tame terrace
#

yeah it looks like walmart

sand goblet
#

yeah, except shittier

#

ASDA was okay

gentle moss
#

i'll take your word for it

#

was

#

before it became part of the "Walmart Family"

tame terrace
#

man, now I want sourdough. :/

gentle moss
#

i think one of the funniest supermarkets is still Waitrose

#

you know how supermarkets do their own brand of like "Value" range shit

#

like that shit

#

it'll cost like 3p

tame terrace
#

I'm not sure I understand why that's funny

rough sapphire
#

hearts?

#

🤔

tame terrace
#

that's what they're called

rough sapphire
#

What country is this? Im AU

gentle moss
#

because no normal person eats artichoke hearts

#

it's funny because it's their value line and it's like middle class people food

tame terrace
#

... :D

#

it's funnier to me that you find that funny

#

ratatouille certainly isn't "middle class".

rough sapphire
#

I have no idea what artichoke hearts are 🤔

gentle moss
#

in the UK i guess the joke is you can pretty easily guess someone's class by where they go to the supermarket

tame terrace
#

it's the thing inside the artichoke

gentle moss
#

calling artichoke hearts an essential is just humorous

tame terrace
#

I guess so. I'm not saying I use them every day.

rough sapphire
#

i have never heard of artichokes my whole life in AU

gentle moss
#

it's uhhh...

tame terrace
#

haha. maybe you should broaden your gastronomical horizons

gentle moss
#

it's like asparagus but shit

sand goblet
#

Waitrose is basically posh tesco isn't it?

oak tangle
#

You've never heard of artichokes?

#

Wait, what?

gentle moss
#

Waitrose is the poor M&S

sand goblet
#

So that's about right

tame terrace
#

I'm not saying artichokes is my favorite vegetable or anything but you should probably hear about them.

sand goblet
#

We actually have both Tesco and M&S here in Ireland

#

And no waitrose :P

gentle moss
#

where will you get your daily dose of essential antichoke hearts

rough sapphire
#

have you guys ever had sugarcane?

sand goblet
#

I don't think I've ever used artichoke

gentle moss
#

like raw? no, but i have had like a sweet root stick type thing that's popular in .nl

sand goblet
#

The closest thing I've used would probably be fennel, and that isn't close

gentle moss
#

just chew on a stick for half an hour, tasty though

rough sapphire
#

you're totally missing out.. it's what actual sugar is made from.. quite popular in brazil and south asia

gentle moss
#

we've made the process far more efficient

tame terrace
#

"actual sugar", as we don't make sugar from more than one source.

gentle moss
#

we turn it into this white powder and then snort it

rough sapphire
#

XD

#

I hear the eels in the UK are getting the most of what people snort..

tame terrace
#

I never had raw sugarcane either. sounds weird.

gentle moss
#

i always forget that American products generally aren't made with cane sugar but corn sugar

rough sapphire
#

you totally should.. it's the purest sweetest thing you'll ever taste

gentle moss
#

got a weird difference in sugaryness

rough sapphire
#

wth is corn sugar

gentle moss
#

more pure than refined cane sugar?

sand goblet
#

It's corn syrup usually

tame terrace
#

high fructose corn syrup is gross.

gentle moss
#

because, i hate to say it, refined cane sugar is the purest sugar

rough sapphire
#

pure as in.. uhm.. the taste.. the feeling you get, not how much it's refined..

sand goblet
#

Yeah corn syrup sucks

gentle moss
#

they make everything out of corn in america though

tame terrace
#

corn is the largest crop in the world

#

by far

rough sapphire
#

oh right.. I hear they use it in the Coke over there.. like actual coke.. not the snorting one..

gentle moss
#

yeah

tame terrace
#

probably both

#

knowing americans

gentle moss
#

any sugary drink that you'd normally see "sugar" on the label in the rest of the world

#

has High Fructose Corn Syrup in the US

#

as if they couldn't just grow some sugar

sand goblet
#

Aside from Jones soda

#

They use cane sugar

rough sapphire
#

well.. sugarcane plantations drove empires.. expansion of the spanish empire, driving the arab slave trade out of africa

tame terrace
#

yes. but corn is much cheaper.

gentle moss
#

well in the US that's also in part to subsidies given to farmers who grow corn

rough sapphire
#

the internet is for corn..

gentle moss
#

it's almost like a feedback loop

tame terrace
#

Food Inc. is a decent documentary that goes into this btw

#

You should see it if you haven't.

all of you.

rough sapphire
#

it'd be great if Americans can stop pushing GMO on the rest of the world..

sand goblet
#

All these guys unzip their flies to corn, corn, corn..

rough sapphire

it seems to be the only thing they seem to be non partisan about.. selling gmo bs

#

glad the EU did away with it

gentle moss
#

Genetically modified foods are good.

tame terrace
#

GMOs aren't necessarily the enemy.

#

the companies associated with them, though..

gentle moss
#

You can't feed 7 billion people on natural organic produce

rough sapphire
#

well they manufacture the fertilizer

#

and the drugs that treat cancer

gentle moss
#

Plus we've been "genetically modifying" food for thousands of years

rough sapphire
#

feedback loop

stark prawn
#

GMO's are vital for reducing world hunger.

rough sapphire
#

that's not the same!

gentle moss
#

what was it Nord Greenstrum (i think that's his name) said

sand goblet
#

GMOs are undeniably a good thing

gentle moss
#

something like

tame terrace
#

sort of is. we just got better at it.

sand goblet
#

The companies that license the seed are the problem

gentle moss
#

"You can't have world peace on an empty stomach"

tame terrace
#

yeah companies like Monsanto

stark prawn
#

patents on living organisms are bs imo

rough sapphire
#

They sold GMOs to India.. the crops failed..

tame terrace
#

patents on seeds is fucked

gentle moss
#

he single handedly went around the world helping poor countries develop crops that would grow better in their environments and get better yields

#

that Nord guy has saved millions of lives through science

#

the patents thing is why it's so vile.

rough sapphire
#

GMO has become a blanket term.. cross breeding and selection is a good thing.. making it viable to only one type of fertilizer is another.. especially when said fertilizer makes the crops unsuitable/dangerous for human consumption
