#

@sand goblet Nah I had a small period with things like infected mushrooms and stuff but I just dont feel it anymore

sand goblet
#

Infected mushroom is psychadelic trance

#

a whole nother kettle of fish

#

although I still like it

vague shuttle
#

Well I am not aware of all the electro genres

#

Electro in general is a no for me unless im drunk and in the club.

wet steppe
#

I don't see the appeal of electro swing over regular old swing

stark prawn
vague shuttle
#

I got in contact with it via Tik Tok meme and since then got caught, dont think ive barely listened to swing before

sand goblet
#

Aha, electro swing

#

so then you know caravan palace

#

I know that exact mix video lol

wet steppe
#

some electro swing is good if they are really doing something good

but like 99% of electro swing is badly autotune/distortion of an actual swing track with a drumtrack on top

worldly grail
#

very good mix

worldly grail
#

@stark prawn da faq

wet steppe
#

Grote wins wow

sand goblet
#

Caravan Palace makes their own stuff

#

Goldfish does overlay a bit

#

Although they still make some of it

wet steppe
#

if they make their own stuff that's good

#

distortion and drumtrack are not enough

sand goblet
#

I mean goldfish isn't entirely electroswing either

#

I like them though

#

they have some really great videos lol

vague shuttle
#

y I think it is caravan ive listened to mostly, not sure

it's hard to go wrong with caravan palace

man that video is great

wet steppe

that dude is owning it

yeah epic

I guess that solo would fit in a rock song too though

#

they're the real deal. zef is legitimately cool. their beats kick ass. they're both solid rappers, especially yolandi. they've been doing it for a long time.

#

even ninjas old solo stuff is quite good. his lyrics are really playful and fun.

worldly grail
#

@plucky ridge thx
i know what i need to implement now
Bandwidth throttling

plucky ridge
#

O...kay?

#

What is this for?

worldly grail
#

i am making a program which will let u set download/upload speed limit on any process running on the system

wet steppe
#

Almost all programs that do significant downloads have this built in

worldly grail
#

significant downloads

wet steppe
#

Eh

worldly grail
#

anyway its always better to have control u know system wide

plucky ridge
#

Some people just can't handle that level of power and responsibility

wet steppe
#

oh no the power to...

#

make my downloads slower

worldly grail
#

or to stop some process eat up all of my bandwidth

yeah its a good idea

rocket surgery is a thing?

I wish I could date a baker.. there's just something about women who bake..

nah, the latest season is on sick people

#

guys i found a job post that advertised $30 an hour for basic IT work?

#

wtf is this? a lie?

gentle moss
#

apparently between 2011 and 2015 the disability body (DWP) declared 90 people a month fit for work

#

who then died shortly after

languid kelp
#

hmmmmmmmmmmm

#

is there any more info on that

gentle moss
#

yup, there are also calls for an investigation

#

that's old news, but the situation hasn't changed

languid kelp
#

there are disability employment agencies around here that just take money from the government and give no support to clients at all

#

its been in the news, i've seen it first hand as well

gentle moss
#

well we don't have agencies like that

#

we just have the government body

#

which farmed out it's fit for work assessments to private contractor ATOS

#

to save money, except it hasn't saved money

#

and more people are dying

sand goblet
#

In the US, disability benefits are basically impossible to get on your own

languid kelp
gentle moss
#

i know they hate their people more than we do

sand goblet
#

There's so much paperwork and it has to be filled out exactly correctly

languid kelp
#

🤔

sand goblet
#

So there are disability lawyers that will handle it all for you

#

But they take a cut of the benefit in exchange

gentle moss
#

gravy train $$$

#

i mean that's perfectly reasonable, right? bisksquintzoom

sand goblet
#

It's shitty, but not as shitty as what comes next

#

If you're getting a disability benefit, you cannot work

#

Because

#

You are only allowed to have a certain amount of value

#

Which is stuff you own and money in the bank

languid kelp
#

there was a government agency that contacted me regarding my experience with DES

sand goblet
#

The number is insanely low, it's like 1000 dollars or something

languid kelp
#

i was too stressed out to deal with it

#

but like, i just dont know why these things are overlooked

gentle moss
#

because the way to fix it is

#

SOCIALISM

sand goblet
#

If you go over that in your bank account the government just takes the money lol

#

But for assets or if you go too far over they take the disability away

gentle moss
#

ouch

#

so goodbye house

sand goblet
#

If you have a job then, well I guess it isn't so bad, but since you now are not paying the disability lawyer, you can get blacklisted

gentle moss

America!

gentle moss
#

smells like faildom to me

sand goblet
#

I have a good friend that lives in the US and has autism

#

They're not so bad that they couldn't work

#

But this stops them

gentle moss
#

seems to be the opposite of what they're trying to do here

sand goblet
#

You can get around it to a degree

#

By having someone that looks after the money/assets

#

So that'd be like your partner or your mom

#

Then they can work and have money and own things

#

And also your money and things

#

Not abusable at all

#

Haha

gentle moss
#

that's quite literally insane

languid kelp
#

"salary package of $15,000" .. is this a per year thing?

sand goblet
#

Yeah

languid kelp

even part time, that's low

#

RARE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE THE SHARPEST DIGITAL MINDS AND SKYROCKET YOUR DIGITAL SKILLS TO NEW LEVELS

sand goblet
#

That's around 7.10/hour if you worked 8 hour weekdays

languid kelp
#

well no, because the minimum wage is higher than that

#

i mean yes to what you said but no

sand goblet
#

No, that doesn't make what I said false

#

What are the hours? Lol

languid kelp
#

it didn't say. it was actually for a disability-related company. as in the role involves helping people with disability do their IT things, or something

sand goblet
#

You'd think that would be higher paid

languid kelp
#

it must be a 2 day week or something

sand goblet
#

But part time work, hard to say

#

It would be around 16/hour with my hours

#

Which is 6 hours 3 days a week

languid kelp
#

the minimum wage is probably higher than 16 as well

sand goblet
#

I doubt that

languid kelp
#

The current National Minimum Wage is $18.93 per hour, or $719.20 per 38-hour week (before tax).

#

If you employ casual workers, they are covered by this national minimum wage, but they also must receive at least 25% casual loading

sand goblet
#

7.25/hour in the US

#

Dunno where you are

languid kelp
#

sand goblet
#

Ah okay

So probably about that but in Ozzars

that comes to 13 USD

it's 20% in ireland i think

tame terrace

yes around that

sand goblet

@vague shuttle my role is super hard to define

gentle moss

sand goblet

I work in the office at a local sports club

tame terrace

yeah, and the pay sucks in the first place.

gentle moss

man, going to norway made me feel broke

tame terrace

I had something like 20K euros a year at IBM

where I work now I have.. well, a lot more.

sand goblet

But my job involves managing digital signage, monitoring cctv, managing their website, printing, etc

vague shuttle
#

Ah ok so a IT-administrator/security officer/web dev lol

#

Here in sweden we pay roughly 33%

languid kelp
#

i dont understand how countries can get away with paying a hugely lower salary than others -- when the employees have equal skills

vague shuttle
#

A lot of things that comes into play for that

rough sapphire

I dunno how much I pay in taxes... im thankful for the freedom :v I got offered a chance to request/negotiate a higher salary, but not sure how to go about it..

Technically 9

Norway.

norway is a very wealthy country. maybe the wealthiest

glass gorge

I barely make more than the no tax limit wants

So it's not like i make the bank shake

tame terrace
#

tax levels follow income in norway

#

make more, pay more taxes.

make little enough, pay none at all.

glass gorge
#

Not the greatest country to be super duper wealthy in

oak tangle
#

That's the same here

gentle moss

good.

oak tangle

The tax bracket thing, that is

Not the greatest country to spend money in as a foreigner either, super duper expensive

Yet so many vacate here

gentle moss

cause it's pretty

vague shuttle

well

y

tame terrace

arguably it's the greatest country to be super duper wealthy in because that's like the wealth endgame. if you can be wealthy in norway, you're really god damn wealthy.

you don't even care.

gentle moss

haha

viral parrot

taxes also really on many other factors, but the main one is income

gentle moss
#

beer

glass gorge
#

Probably helps that im a student

gentle moss
#

fuck me how much does a beer cost

tame terrace
#

yes, it also factors in how many kids you got, how far you have to travel for work, how much debt you got, what you own, etcetera.

glass gorge
#

40-60 kr i think?

gentle moss
#

crazy prices

glass gorge
#

40 is like student prices

viral parrot

depends, on a store or outside?

to be fair, that was downtown oslo.

Beers are expensive in Norway compared to The Netherlands, but I knew that before I went there

gentle moss

£10 for a beer!

That is fair then yeah.

oak tangle

Brought some with me (within the allowed limits)

viral parrot
#

lets do something that everyone has access to

#

cognac or something like that

#

what does that cost?

oak tangle
#

what kind of cognac?

gentle moss
#

i think the rum and coke was like 60kr or something

glass gorge
#

Most (small) classes of liquor is about the same as a 0.5 beer at least 🤔

tame terrace
#

back when I was a student living in Bergen, we went to this place called Hulen (The Grotto), which was literally inside of a grotto. Once a year they had an event where the beer would be €1 cheaper for every hour - so they started at like €8 or something, but by 1 AM they were basically free.

glass gorge
#

iirc

viral parrot
#

something popular maybe

tame terrace
#

this was a terrible idea

#

because people would leave hardly able to fucking walk

gentle moss
#

and my lord, £80 for a bottle of whisky

#

hah

#

that reminds me of a bar in cardiff that did "fucked up fridays"

glass gorge
#

I have not heard of this event 👀

gentle moss
#

all shots £1

glass gorge
#

But then again i dont go to hulen often

gentle moss

all pints £2

used to happen every year at end of exams - so around this time of year. maybe in a month?

I havent heard anyone play at kvarteret yet, just went to a few debates / talks here and there

#

Was fun learning about space laws

tame terrace
#

@vague shuttle as someone who lives fairly close to the swedish border, I can tell you that alcohol is significantly cheaper on your side of the border.

#

norwegians frequently go over to buy some.

#

some things are nearly half price

vague shuttle
#

I have heard that aswell, but it has nothing to do with taxes ( I think) and more to do with the currency exchange

tame terrace
#

yep, maybe.

vague shuttle
#

or maybe not

tame terrace
#

I don't know.

glass gorge
#

Isn't there an additional fee on alcohol in norway that makes it so expensive compared to 90% of the world?

vague shuttle
#

I just checked the exchange it was 1kr=0.9nok

tame terrace
#

yes

#

we use taxation to make stuff like cigarettes and alcohol prohibitively expensive

#

to reduce consumption

gentle moss
#

Beer with 2.8% alcohol or less is exempt from tax, except VAT

#

WOT SWEDEN

#

WHAT

vague shuttle
#

same here but I guess u have higher taxes then

tame terrace
#

like, a pack of cigarettes in norway at this point is well over 10 euros I think

oak tangle

@viral parrot What's a popular, regular bottle of Cognac? Brand/specific type/... and so on? And how much does it cost?

I'm not scandinavian

tame terrace
#

400 usd is too much for a bottle of anything

glass gorge

Then it makes sense i guess

viral parrot
#

not because it is to expensive, i just do not drink more then once a year or so

vague shuttle
#

well scandinavia is very tech savy in general. Just look at all the companies that originated from here

glass gorge

$400 for a year of drinks is fair

@glass gorge yeah, but i do not finish it in a year. maybe 5

vague shuttle
#

U feel so fresh when u drink it 😄

glass gorge
#

Used to drink quite a bit of that

gentle moss
#

my local had a good shot

glass gorge
#

but moved over to fireball as it's ... more potent

gentle moss
#

was a mixture of vodka and hot sauce

glass gorge
#

Interesting 🤔

gentle moss
#

dave's insanity sauce

glass gorge
#

Who's Dave

gentle moss
#

it made my gf who at the time wasn't my gf instantly puke

#

:D

vague shuttle
#

What kind of hotsauce tho? Thats important

gentle moss
#

it's around 200k SHU

vague shuttle
#

y I never had it. Basically only had tabasco and siracha

gentle moss
#

those aren't hot :3

vague shuttle
#

Well depends on the person

gentle moss
#

sriracha is like 1000 SHU

vague shuttle
#

My mom would disagree

rough sapphire
#

sriracha isn't spicy..

gentle moss
#

tabasco is hotter.

rough sapphire
#

not by much.. wait.. I got something here

vague shuttle
#

It very well can be, and those statements are kinda eh.. I mean hot is very much a objective thing

gentle moss
#

hot sauce in a shot of vodka is a buuurrrn

rough sapphire
#

that's spicy..

#

it's the same sauce as the hottest instant noodles on the planet.. aka nuclear noodles from korea..

gentle moss
#

what's it taste like?

vague shuttle
#

death

rough sapphire
#

lol

#

it's hard to describe.. hmm.. tastes like heat and metal.. and chicken

languid kelp

sand goblet
#

I like the "spicy stir-fry" koka noodles

#

that's about as spicy as I can do

vague shuttle
#

My brother is currently growing carolina reaper and he is like u wanna try it?

Why the fuck would I want to try it? What is the point of experiencing that?

"Its fun" No it aint fun, its painful, its pain ur lips, ur tongue, ur cheeks, ur throat, ur nose, ur stomach, ur guts and finally in ur ass (and outside of it aswell probably).

Why would anyone wanna do that ?

rough sapphire
#

lol..

vestal briar
#

My dad grows chilli

rough sapphire
#

hmm singaporean noodles huh..

gentle moss
#

tbh i find it tasty

vague shuttle
#

Chili I have no problem with, it is when it goes beyond that. I mean no one eats carolina reaper because it tastes good or adds a bit of spice to the dish

gentle moss
#

it does add spice to a dish :P

#

and flavour

rough sapphire
#

singapore is not highly regarded for food.. in asia..

vague shuttle
#

I mean in theory probably, but in practice u would never taste anything

#

but pain

gentle moss
#

that's not true though

#

source: i cook with them

rough sapphire
#

like, sure you can get every cuisine there.. but it's like, going to a Japanese restaurant in Spain

#

you know it's not real..

vague shuttle
#

Honestly, I find that hard to believe @gentle moss

gentle moss
#

they've got a sweeter flavour than a scotch bonnet, they're just significantly hotter

vague shuttle
#

Which u would never experience because there would be so much pain blocking ur body from anything else. Mike tyson could throw a hook and u would be like, damn tyson u weak

rough sapphire
#

lol

gentle moss
#

but you admit yourself you don't like / eat hot food

vague shuttle
#

No I didnt

gentle moss
#

so you're not exactly a great judge for it, are you

vague shuttle
#

I like hot food and I eat it regularly

gentle moss
#

just not "hot" food

#

:P

vague shuttle
#

What I said was that it is objective what hot is

sand goblet

I must interrupt for some absolutely AMAZING news

finally levelling the playing field

gentle moss

nice

also, i just found myself somewhat agreeing with a Tory O_O

“I would ask you to make decisions based on facts, rather than unfounded allegations and to consider the very real implications of banning Chinese technology from our market,” Deva wrote to colleagues on 12 March in a leaked email seen by openDemocracy and SourceMaterial. “There has not been a single instance of foul play detected on any Huawei product.”```
#

requires that price end in .99 cents.

#

lol

#

i did not know that

#

that's a fucking weird ask

languid kelp
#

guys guys..

#

what podcasts do are you subscribed to?

rough sapphire
#

dont even know how..

#

always thought it was like radio..

#

and I dont listen to radio..sooooo

languid kelp
#

radio is like music, right?

sand goblet
#

I listen to Reply All

#

Conviction is good but hasn't seen an episode in a long time

#

those are both gimlet podcasts

#

I also like the Vergecast

gentle moss
#

+1 to reply all

languid kelp
#

neat i'll check these out!

gentle moss
#

the indian call centre one of reply is 😙 👌

#

two parter though

sand goblet
#

The one about the US police ranking system was real interesting

#

They mentioned that in Conviction too

#

by the way, in case you didn't know, Gimlet was bought by Spotify recently

#

Wonder if that'll change anything

languid kelp
#

did you guys know... that fireplace smoke is worse than cigarette smoke?

sand goblet
#

It isn't

#

at least not here

#

we have clean coals

languid kelp
#

woodfire smoke*

#

New research from the US and Australia shows that reducing the emissions of wood smoke in residential areas has a significant effect on the development of asthma in children, and also on mortality.

#

i dunno, watch out for the smoke though

sand goblet
#

our house is too warm for fires tbh

languid kelp
#

nice

oak tangle
#

What do you mean by "clean coals"?

#

Is this some magical kind of coal that does not burn?

#

Because I'm not sure how you're going to keep the emissions clean if you burn coal

sand goblet
#

it's relative, of course

#

smokeless coal

gentle moss
#

^

#

it's not clean, obvs, but it doesn't produce as many particulates

#

and i'm not sure wood fireplace smoke is worse than cigarette smoke

#

you're exposed to then in different ways?

#

idk

oak tangle
#

oh, right

#

Thanks

#

wood stoves are very polluting, though

#

I'm not sure how to compare it with smoking, but that's a weird comparison

sand goblet
#

wood smoke doesn't bother my asthma as much tbh

oak tangle
#

residential wood burning is a key source of fine particulate matter

#

there's been plenty of research into that and there are some studies being conducted now in The Netherlands because more people started doing it

sand goblet
#

I agree it can't be great for the environment in the long term

#

which is true of burning almost anything

oak tangle
#

fine particulate matter is a more direct cause of concern, because it's very unhealthy

tame terrace
#

when are you inhaling wood smoke

sand goblet
#

campsite I guess

oak tangle
#

when people start burning it as a means to warm their house in a residential area

#

they should be using the things gdude was talking about

sand goblet
#

smokeless coal? yeah

#

Actually it is a problem here too

tame terrace
#

okay so you're saying that just living in residential areas where people heat their houses with firewood?

sand goblet
#

Because a lot of farmers just burn waste

#

most of it wood

oak tangle
#

but, most people here have other means of heating their house (gass, mostly) and just installed stoves of their own and use regular wood

rough sapphire
#

there's no such thing as clean coal.. pipe dream.. obama's broken promises

gentle moss
#

people around here burn wood for the lols

oak tangle
#

becuase they were fed up with gass prices

tame terrace
#

in norway, every house basically has a fireplace.

gentle moss
#

like they have a fireplace and are just like "aw that'd be nice"

sand goblet
#

Tron we already had that discussion

tame terrace
#

at least in the suburbs

rough sapphire
#

I just scrolled down :v

oak tangle
#

@cedar needle We're not talking about that, we were talking about smokeless coal vs regular coal

sand goblet
#

well that's what you get

#

:P

rough sapphire
#

oh

#

see now im all caught up

tame terrace
#

I burn metric tons of wood every winter.

oak tangle
#

The term was a bit misleading, becuase it's also a marketing term for Clean Coal Technologies, the American politics thing

sand goblet
#

it's actually illegal to burn any other kind of coal here

rough sapphire
#

anyways.. shrimp is the fruit of the sea

sand goblet
#

I'll pass on that

tame terrace
#

why would you burn anything in ireland, you guys don't have winters.

sand goblet
#

hahaha

#

not compared to you

tame terrace
#

one day of snow and the country panics

sand goblet
#

and actually: we don't.

#

most people with modern houses don't

tame terrace
#

you just have The Longest Autumn

sand goblet
#

the problem is there aren't many modern houses

#

lots of people living in stone brick houses with no insulation

tame terrace
#

so you're saying the house gets very cold because it's poorly insulated

#

okay

sand goblet
#

yeah

tame terrace
#

I can believe that.

sand goblet
#

We have a grant here

#

the goernment will pay you to insulate your house

#

so I dunno why people aren't doing it

tame terrace
#

so have you done it?

sand goblet
#

yes

tame terrace
#

so then why are you burning Clean Coals™™™™

sand goblet
#

our house has complete coverage for an A rating for energy efficiency actually

#

We don't

#

that's just an Irish law

tame terrace
#

oh. okay.

#

you were using the royal we

sand goblet
#

yes, the royal we

#

lol

#

the only thing we burn is gas

#

even the damn BBQ is gas, even though I told them not to buy a gas BBQ

tame terrace
#

why did you tell them that?

sand goblet
#

because you can't smoke in a gas BBQ

#

:v

tame terrace
#

doesn't bother me.

sand goblet
#

we have a smoker box, and it doesn't work well at all

#

that was like half the reason I wanted a BBQ lol

#

we have this nice pile of cut wood out back and nothing to use it on

tame terrace
#

I guess it's different since you use gas for cooking inside as well.

#

I also have a gas bbq and I'm very happy with how the food comes out.

#

I used to have a coal-fired kind and it was a huge pain in my ass

#

not at all worth it

#

much less precise, much more maintenance

sand goblet
#

yeah, it's a great BBQ

#

I just can't smoke

#

I'd have preferred a big green egg

#

maybe someday.

tame terrace
#

build a smoker or something

#

get an oil drum and just set up a fire pit to put it in

sand goblet
#

where the heck am I gonna get an oil drum

tame terrace
#

can't be that hard.

#

junkyard maybe

sand goblet
#

I doubt I could even fit that in our cars

tame terrace
#

cars?

#

is that the royal our again now

sand goblet
#

No, we have two

#

neither of them are big enough

#

lol

tame terrace
#

(that was a joke)

sand goblet
#

haha

#

I don't think my mom wants an oil drum on her white leather seats anyway

#

xD

tame terrace
#

man my new car is so big

#

I got it like a week ago, and I was a bit sceptical at first

#

but I'm a big fan of it now.

gentle moss
#

oh nice

#

:D

sand goblet
#

Mom is replacing her car next month I think

#

with this big volvo SUV

#

"car of the year 2019"

tame terrace
#

sounds expensive

sand goblet
#

not really

#

I think we had this conversation before, but

gentle moss
#

is it as tidy as you thought lemon?

tame terrace
#

any new cars are expensive in my book.

sand goblet
#

her current car is about a year old so they're taking that back and that'll cover a lot of it

#

plus we don't have to pay tax because of my sister's disability

tame terrace
#

I bought mine with cash. it'll last me for years.

#

it's in great shape, @gentle moss

sand goblet
#

mom has her eye on my TV as well..

gentle moss
#

got nice toys in it?

tame terrace
#

already drove it like 1000km without a hitch.

sand goblet
#

mom's logic though goddamn

tame terrace
#

cruise control, keyless ignition, electric seat adjusters, folding mirrors,

#

oh and get this

#

it has 7 seats

sand goblet
#

I bought a TV a few years back when I was studying java, so I could WiiU - and then I gave it to my parents for my sister after, since I was moving back in and there was a TV downstairs

tame terrace
#

2 of them were hidden

#

I had no idea

gentle moss
#

ooooh

sand goblet
#

in the new house it was too far and always in use so my dad bought me a TV

tame terrace
#

they fold down into the chassis itself sort of

gentle moss
#

boot seats!

tame terrace
#

yes

sand goblet
#

and it's better than mom's current TV so now she wants to swap them

gentle moss
#

haven't seen that in ages

#

my mum's volvo 740 estate had them

#

i loved sitting in them as a kid

tame terrace
#

that's illegal, @sand goblet, get a lawyer and delete your moms facebook

sand goblet
#

hahaha

#

see the thing is

#

I mostly use it for games

#

but since mom was watching me play hitman on the PS4 downstairs,it's currently in her living room

#

I can't move it back upstairs because she keeps telling me she wants to watch me play more hitman

#

but then she says I'm not using the TV I have so she should have it

gentle moss
#

awwwwww

#

that's sweet

sand goblet
#

I personally just want my PS4 back lol

gentle moss
#

haha

sand goblet
#

then I can use the damn TV again

tame terrace
#

@gentle moss I folded both the boot seats and the back seats down the other day to transport some trash to the dump, and it turns into a god damn van-sized boot. it's so big you could move an entire apartment worth of stuff in a couple trips. I put like 15+ bigass black bags of yard trimmings, an entire apple tree, and still had space for tons of cardboard.

#

with my old car (which was still pretty big as a minivan) I think I would've had to take three or four trips

sand goblet
#

that is a lot

gentle moss
#

wow

#

that is pretty huge

#

i like it when you can fit a lot of junk up in that trunk

tame terrace
#

I emptied my entire shed into it. must've been 3-4 cubic metres of trash.

#

wow, inappropriate

gentle moss
#

¬_¬

sand goblet
#

that's not a car you have

#

that's a tardis

gentle moss
#

:D

viscid quarry
#

a cardis ?

tame terrace
#

ahahaha

gentle moss
#

imagine all the equipment you could fit in there

#

no more choices

#

just all the equipment

sand goblet
#

wouldn't need a house

#

the ultimate caravan

tame terrace
#

apparently 1600 litres of space

gentle moss
#

fucking hell

sand goblet
#

I wonder how they measure that

gentle moss
#

you really could fit a double mattress in that

sand goblet
#

do they literally fill it with water?

tame terrace
#

they fill it up with milk

#

yeah

gentle moss
#

haha

#

bags of milk, cartons wont do

tame terrace
#

let's see, 1600 cartons of milk.

sand goblet
#

haha

#

fill up the car with 1600 cartons of milk and it'll merge into one giant carton of milk

#

like one of those shitty mobile games

gentle moss
#

you could say it's a carton of milk

tame terrace
#

1600 cart..

#

fuck

sand goblet
#

:P

tame terrace
#

I WAS GONNA MAKE THAT

gentle moss
#

:D

sand goblet
#

xD

gentle moss
#

i would've done it sooner but i ate an entire camembert and now i feel funny

tame terrace
#

fine, you can have it

sand goblet
#

that happens to me too when I entirely a cheese

gentle moss
#

it was entirely a whole cheese

#

and half a large bread

#

i am unaware what i was considering

sand goblet
#

I hope you at least toasted it

gentle moss
#

of course

#

i am no luddite

sand goblet
#

the cheese too

gentle moss
#

yes

#

you kind of have to

#

but the rind burst and it leaked out the wooden box a bit into my oven

sand goblet
#

don't try me

gentle moss
#

so that's gonna be a fun clean up party

#

i can feel my blood thickening

tame terrace
#

that's gross, dude.

#

don't eat an entire camembert

gentle moss
#

i regret nothing apart from maybe eating all the camembert

#

gotta make the most of these things before they become black market currency

#

i just looked at the nutritional label and was like "oh that's not so bad"

#

and then realised it's per 100g

#

250g packet

vague shuttle
#

Don't eat camembert

#

period .

gentle moss
#

why?

viscid quarry
#

camembert is great

vague shuttle
#

Because ew, and also "Its salt levels are high (1.5g or more per 100g)"
(tried to find something bad about, this is all I found)

gentle moss
#

i mean you could've gone with that i just ate 60g of fat or whatever

#

your reason for not eating it is that it's unhealthy?

#

that's pretty damn weak.

vague shuttle
#

Is it tho? Is it?

gentle moss
#

yes.

vague shuttle
#

No

gentle moss
#

errrr.... yes.

sand goblet
#

yep

vague shuttle
#

What other excuse do u need really?

#

Instant death?=

sand goblet
#

that'd be a good reason

gentle moss
#

except it's not true

sand goblet
#

but unhealthy isn't a good reason

#

we can't eat healthy 24/7

#

that's so boring

gentle moss
#

first i apparently can't enjoy my spicy food because it's too painful and i'm not really tasting it

#

now i can't eat stupidly large amounts of cheese because it's unhealthy

#

life under Galnegative is really dull

vague shuttle
#

Well I never said u couldnt, do whatever u like

gentle moss
#

you literally said "Don't eat camembert. period."

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

they're your words dude

tame terrace
#

you can't enjoy spicy food?

gentle moss
#

yeah apparently i can't taste the hot food i eat because it's too painful and therefore devoid of flavour

vague shuttle
#

ah yes those was my words. My bad, I wasnt serious from the start tho, I thought was made a bit obvious from my "It's unhealthy because of 1.5g of salt".

gentle moss
#

it's actually 2.2g of salt

sand goblet
#

l0l

#

OK bisk, here's one for you

#

let's see if you can figure this out

#

Windows PC here in the shop

tame terrace
#

I don't have a good moral reason why you shouldn't eat an entire cheese, I just don't think you should do it because it sounds gross and you're gross and the whole situation is gross.

sand goblet
#

hardwired to router

vague shuttle
#

Maybe in ur cheese but, the salt amount differs

sand goblet
#

roughly every 10-15 minutes, the connection will drop (as if the cable was unplugged), and then re-establish a few seconds later

gentle moss
#

oh yeah i know it's not the greatest thing to do but i was just craving the cheese and it was there. so i ate it.

tame terrace
#

haha. fair enough

sand goblet
#

it causes literally no problems

#

but

#

curious

gentle moss
#

hmmmm

#

driver crash?

#

check event viewer

tame terrace
#

I ate an entire gräddost once.

vague shuttle
#

Now that sounds delicious

tame terrace
#

we don't really buy gräddost anymore.

#

because I just eat them

sand goblet
#

I ate a deep fried mars bar with ice-cream once

tame terrace
#

jesus

gentle moss
#

that's gross.

#

but i understand

sand goblet
#

xD

gentle moss
#

sometimes you've just gotta tell your body

sand goblet
#

ngl it was pretty good

gentle moss
#

"hey, fuck you. asshole."

#

and later you'll be like

vague shuttle
#

I have several times mixed, sugar coco and egg and eaten it raw

gentle moss
#

"hey, asshole. fuck you."

sand goblet
#

It wouldn't have anything to do with BITS, would it?

tame terrace
#

the only deep fried stuff I enjoy are from the east. spring rolls and samosas, baby, all day.

gentle moss
#

shouldn't be gdude

sand goblet
#

I keep seeing it get switched between autostart and demand start

tame terrace
#

god damn samosas are so good.

gentle moss
#

hmmm

sand goblet
#

Oh I made samosas once

#

That was fun

gentle moss
#

just disable it and see what happens

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tame terrace
#

me too, I love folding them.

vague shuttle
#

@sand goblet Is it consistent 10-15min?

sand goblet
#

I haven't timed it, but it's roughly consistent

#

Nothing else in the event viewer

vague shuttle
#

Have u tried a different cable?

sand goblet
#

note that it's not the router, it's done this on 3 different routers and cables

#

across 2 premises

vague shuttle
#

Have u isolated the problem to 1 machine

#

?

sand goblet
#

yes

#

well there is only one machine

#

but nothing on wifi has any issues

vague shuttle
#

Have u updated drivers and everything related?

sand goblet
#

Yeah, been there

#

it's pretty much always done it

vague shuttle
#

Have u tried a different network card?

#

I mean if it acts like the cable is unplugged its telling me the problem is most likely on layer 1 or 2

sand goblet
#

I can't replace the card

vague shuttle
#

can u insert a new one then?

sand goblet
#

heck I doubt I could even get it out of the desk

vague shuttle
#

oh is it locked?

#

Im thinking the network card is broken but if it where it wouldnt be on a 10-15min interval the issue would occur. It would be much more often.

sand goblet
#

It's not locked, more surrounded

#

lol

#

I can't get it out without causing an avalaunche

vague shuttle
#

What types of routers are they and do the have the exact same configuration?

sand goblet
#

just the one

#

it's a huawei ISP modemrouter

#

same kind we used to use at home

vague shuttle
#

ah so a basic one

sand goblet
#

yeah fairly basic

vague shuttle
#

have u tried just for the sake of trying reseting it to factory settings?

sand goblet
#

Yes

#

trust me, I know how much like schizophrenic little kids these things are

is that even how you spell that?

the world may never know

nvm: schizophrenia

sand goblet
#

oh shit, I got it right

#

man I'm on a roll

#

antidisestablishmentarialism
antidisestablishmentarianism

languid kelp
#

yeah i don't know how that's related!

#

early 20th century: modern Latin, from Greek skhizein ‘to split’ + phrēn ‘mind’.

sand goblet
#

not quite!

#

oh well.

languid kelp
#

going off this etymology... aren't we all slightly schizophrenic 😄

sand goblet
#

of split mind?

#

speak for yourself

tame terrace
#

gdude only has one big hemisphere.

sand goblet
#

actually I did do some experiments years ago but.. eh whatever

vague shuttle
#

Talking to urself and schizophrenia is not the same thing 😃

languid kelp
#

is gdude a robot?

sand goblet
#

lol, no

languid kelp
#

i never mentioned talking to oneself

vague shuttle
#

gdude My mother had me tested

sand goblet
#

that's not what I said

vague shuttle
#

I know i was referring to the big bang theory, maybe u dont watch that

sand goblet
#

I don't watch TV, let alone popular shows

vague shuttle
#

Well Sheldon says it a lot

tame terrace
#

I watch a ton of TV shows, but I wouldn't watch big bang theory with a gun to my head.

vague shuttle
#

Well thank god everyone is not the same, it would be a boring world.

tame terrace
#

yeah, thanks, god.

#

you did it

vague shuttle
#

Only thing that bugs me with that show is the amount of fake laughter in the background, for everything

sand goblet
#

seriously though I did do some brain experimentation a while back

vague shuttle
#

What kind?

sand goblet
#

in relation to multiple personalities

#

it was interesting, to say the least

vague shuttle
#

Why? The test itself or the results?

sand goblet
#

A bit of both

#

I developed a tulpa

vague shuttle
#

lol

sand goblet
#

It was for the best that I dissipate her in the end, but it was quite the thing

languid kelp
#

Subagents are a pretty common metaphor for many of the internal conflicting desires in a person.

vague shuttle
#

Tulpa? U mean like a revelation(?)

sand goblet
#

Ah, a tulpa is a concept that is kind of stolen from old-style buddhism

#

it's basically like developing a second personality in your head to act as a kind of companion

#

like a level up from imaginary friends I guess
