I'm a sauces guy, I like sauces, but mom gets pissed off because they take up space
#ot1-perplexing-regexing

gentle moss
i had to take some of the hot sauces the miss didn't like to work because they were taking up too much space
:(
sand goblet
Heinz does a bottled curry sauce I used to be able to get
It was great but now I can't get it haha
And then mom through out my half full bottle
Oh well
Reaper puree huh
Does it even get hotter?
tame terrace
could eat the actual chili
sand goblet
True
tame terrace
spray pepper spray in your mouth?
naw but supposedly there are some chilis that are hotter
ed currie (who made the reaper) has one called Pepper X
gentle moss
it gets hotter than reaper
tame terrace
it's not registered for a world record yet, for business reasons.
summer rampart
oh I think I've heard of that
gentle moss
Pepper X
and apppppaarreeently
he still has more record breakers
just lined up waiting
i'd love to try a fresh reaper
tame terrace
and apparently there's something called Dragon's Breath over in Australia measured even higher than Pepper X, but they decided not to submit their results to guinness because it's ugly. you get death threats and harassment.
gentle moss
i've had dried / rehydrated ones but they're probably weaker
lol
submit an ugly chilli and get death threats
summer rampart
you get death threats for making chili?
sand goblet
Seems like everything you do in public these days gets you harassment
gentle moss
probably from beating the previous record i guess
gentle moss
seems super dumb
tame terrace
it is
gentle moss
i used to get a book of records every year for christmas when i was a kid
i can't imagine going
summer rampart
god I can't begin to imagine what the other more prominent WR holders face if the person who made a hot fruit got death threats
gentle moss
"bullshit i bet i can fit more spoons under my armpit this guy is a fucking loser, better call him."
wooden silo
Like the guy who has 226 WRs.
tame terrace
this is a fun docu that deals with some of that ugliness
and talks about the Dragon's Breath chili
and yeah, Ed Currie has a farm and then a secret farm, and then a SUPER SECRET FARM
gentle moss
"what motivates someone to breed and eat a demonic nugget that is so hot it no longer has flavour?"
DEMON NUGGETS
summer rampart
masochism
tame terrace
ed explains that there's absolutely no reason for him to release a new world record before the old one has been in effect for at least 5-6-7 years
because he'd just be competing with himself. it takes many years to get these sauces onto shelves
there's a lot of FDA approvals and testing and production and bottling and so on
that needs to happen
so that's why he keeps his "even hotter ones" secret
until he can stand to maximize that profit
sand goblet
Is that actually a book?
sand goblet
Ah okay
tame terrace
it's sort of like a 2.5 hour podcast
sand goblet
Explains why I can't find it on kindle haha
tame terrace
it's very well produced
features interviews with major players
including ed
good listen.
also, if you have audible premium, it's free this month
gentle moss
i still find his name deeply ironic
tame terrace
who? ed?
gentle moss
yeah
tame terrace
how is it ironic
tame terrace
how is that ironic
sand goblet
It's an amusing coincidence? But not ironic
gentle moss
i think it fits one of the types of irony
sand goblet
Haha
gentle moss
cause there's like 4 types of irony
rough sapphire
10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
sand goblet
A traffic jam when you're already late
rough sapphire
a no smmmookking sign , on your cigarette break
sand goblet
A free ride that you just didn't take
gentle moss
i mean that song is ironic
sand goblet
In that it has nothing ironic in it, yeah, haha
summer rampart
which is ironic
rough sapphire
shes god. so i call super smart
sand goblet
Don'tcha think
gentle moss
it's like one hand in your pocket when you're a bitch and lover and a child and a mother
(yes i'm aware that's meredith brooks)
sand goblet
Well that's great but I'm a sinner and a saint
rough sapphire
yes, you can be all those things, and more
sand goblet
Anyway where were we
gentle moss
i guess ed currie doesn't fit cosmic irony
tame terrace
just. sure, there are multiple "types of irony". they're all basically the same thing though - a [usually humorous] dissonance between one thing and another. I don't think there is any kind of dissonance between curries and chilis, if anything they are in harmony.
so I don't think you get to use that word here, sir.
best regards, the word police.
gentle moss
this is literally the most ironic thing to happen to me today
rough sapphire

oh sweet jesus Boris Johnson is trying to negotiate brexit without using a translator
sand goblet
Apparently he wants Ireland to leave the EU again
gentle moss
UK media are doing a fucking stupid game of chinese whispers
claiming Merkel and Macron have said they are open to re-negotiations in the next 30 days when they said the literal polar opposite
but yeah, BoJo was talking to Macron in a meeting without the use of a translator which just has me in super cringe prep mode

i think it's the esxi web panel console
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i would've gone with the zoom tbh
but it was too funny
rough sapphire
can scale on windows 10 as well, which does work quite nicely.
rough sapphire

gentle moss
i should do some work but i think i over caffeinated
rough sapphire
no such thing
gentle moss
you say that but i've been looking at a problem for 10 minutes and i dunno where to attack it
rough sapphire
can i help?
gentle moss
so instead of doing anything i've resorted to inaction
rough sapphire
what's the problem dawg
gentle moss
i mean it's not a problem problem
i need to re-organise the date handling on a ticketing dashboard i made
rough sapphire
ah
gentle moss
and i can't decide what's prettier

i imagine hours it's been opened
rough sapphire
hours, roll over to days once it gets big enough
rough sapphire
or even seconds -> minutes -> hours -> days

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Accoutrements-11761-Yodelling-Pickle/dp/B0010VS078 this is what i keep getting advertised to me
plucky ridge
And this is why I don't trust the pickle module
rough sapphire
and i dont know why
plucky ridge
It just keep yodeling
plucky ridge
Well that's the thing about Amazon
You buy or look at one thing, you get shown stuff like it for years to come
rough sapphire
yo hold on
Are you getting ads using adblock?
"frequently bought together"
the yodelling pickle is the only ad i ever get
i rarely get ads with adblock but when i do its the pickle
plucky ridge
Why
rough sapphire
What are you using for adblocking?
plucky ridge
Why would those things be bought together
Also, Amazon can't be ad blocked, last I checked
plucky ridge
Made everyone at work put it on their machines
plucky ridge
They do hire hackers for cyber security

Not lately, though
Gotten better about it

Eh, I'll do it tomorrow

I have to do that some times

been there too bud. :(
plucky ridge
It's the only way I can get enough calories during the middle of the day
Sometimes, anyway
Most of the time I'm fine without and just have two big meals
gentle moss
i used to be nastily underweight
having to resort to that shit because you can't eat or whatever sucks
plucky ridge
Oh yeah that's not bad currently
rough sapphire
Huh, I weigh more than you bisk 👀
plucky ridge
I do as well but I'm also slightly taller
rough sapphire
I'm about 160lb for 5'9"
plucky ridge
I'm around 165 at 6' (okay, a little less than 6 foot but god damn it I'm not going to say 5 foot 11.75 inches)
Drives me nuts, I'm the shortest guy on both sides of my family
Every guy in my family is crazy tall
rough sapphire
Neither of my parents are very tall, so it is what it is
plucky ridge
Eh, 5'9 isn't bad
rough sapphire
Never gave it much thought tbh
gentle moss
you can weigh more if you like but i'll still beat you up
i've got reach and a high tolerance for pain
plucky ridge
It's okay, I've got a low tolerance for going outside, so I doubt it'll ever become an issue
rough sapphire
"You can weigh more BUT I WILL LITERALLY KILL YOU" - that was a jump.
gentle moss
¬_¬
it's funny, i spent the better part of 10 years trying to put on a little bit of weight
and now i have and i'm like "aw shit look at this gut i've got. where my abs go"
plucky ridge
I remember having abs
rough sapphire
I exercise 5 times a week, so that's not really an issue for me
gentle moss
i exercise 5 times a year, maybe.
plucky ridge
I could blame the meds on this one but no
rough sapphire
Plus, run twice a week
rough sapphire
i try to exercise, but is so hard...

i had a sword fight with the gf in the garden with some wooden dowels

gentle moss
me, obviously.
rough sapphire
obviously he says

she has no hand to eye coordination

I don't know her, she could have nearly killed you
It's why I asked lol

rough sapphire
and from what I remember, it was great
plucky ridge
Ah yeah, that was the remake one
I specifically remember the one with Rage in it
Preaching from the Book of Rage
Turned out to be a photo album of his family that had passed away and he'd gone mad with grief

Well I guess it would depend on how much of it bit you....
Er
How much of you it bit
Yeah that one
gentle moss
i mean it also depends how much of the shark bit you too
if only a little bit of the shark bit you
you're probably fine
gentle moss
nope
plucky ridge
Wasn't a cartoon show, it was a edutainment thing about math
It was actually pretty good
gentle moss
ahhh
well back when i was growing up we just had a reasonable education system so we didn't have to fob it off onto PBS.

The only reason I know about it was because we had taped a bunch when it was on TV
Yeah fair enough

Speaking of PBS, Porkchop

Like the action he is prefoming is ahead of it's time
And I was trying to refer to both
So I guess any would work?
gentle moss
i don't think so
vestal briar
The action was ahead of its time
gentle moss
yes because the action isn't gendered
vestal briar
A person with his sounds like he's a time traveler?
gentle moss
"he was ahead of his time"
"his time" being the time in which he is
he is not in it
he is ahead of it

if headset == good:
buy()
else:
noBuy()```Supposedly really good, but $350 or so
rough sapphire
that is a lot of money though
glass gorge
It is expensive
rough sapphire
For me yes
glass gorge
But doable, considering i managed to pay $550 too much for my tuition today 
rough sapphire
350$ is like the minimun wage in my country

Its probably a lot cheaper to buy there then

[17:22] Owez: What's ultravox or the clangers
AND THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD
CHILDREN
$350 for headphones isn't that much
i spent about $200 for some good in ears and about $250 for some open backs
idk where i put the in ears though sooooo
gentle moss
i also make music so spending money on good headphones is kinda a must
rough sapphire
And that sony looks really well designed
quasi sequoia
how much battery lasts?
can you plug a cable in?
just remember you are paying mostly for noise-cancelling
gentle moss
that'd be key for me for wireless headphones
being able to plug in a cable to charge and still hear
quasi sequoia
and noise cancelling will not cancel non-zummmmm sounds. Mmm how should I call those sounds?
constant noise in the background? I mean, like motor noises and so. Not children playing outside
Most noise-canceling headphones are designed to block out vehicle noise when traveling. The WH-1000XM3 headphones are no exception this is what I meant
rough sapphire
they quiten a lot of other sounds tho
quasi sequoia
they are mostly aimed at people who travel a lot by plane
rough sapphire
like my keyboard goes from very loud to i have to conentrate to hear it
and i cant really hear what people are saying when i have them on
quasi sequoia
I have a pair of closed headphones that cancel a lot of noise just passively
also, closed headphones = "worse" sound quality than open headphones. It is a sacrify sacrifice (I just kept looking at that word for a long time...)
rough sapphire
eh i dont like them because noise doesnt cancel, it more sounds "muted" or dampened
quasi sequoia
having to pay such price, I would recommend you to search for some shop that let you try them first
rough sapphire
i never planned on getting noise cancelling headphones until i tried them on in a shop and fell in love
quasi sequoia
do you still have them?
quasi sequoia
you can change the puffs?
glass gorge
Didnt check
quasi sequoia
check it. You don't want to buy a new headphones just bc the puffs started to fall apart
glass gorge
Good point
vapid bluff
as someone who recently accidentally sat on and broke off one of the speakers of some headphones:
how strong is the build on the inside, do you know what the connections are made of? plastic, metal etc?

Didn't check either

but thats true for most newspapers

thats fair

yeah

which is sadly pretty much all of them
gentle moss
wonder what the sun ran with
frosty berry
a lot of antivaxxers here i'm sure, i don't know if we are any worse than others, but i would believe we are pretty bad
my mother was antivax, though mildly, i'm still not up to date on a few things because i don't care enough, but i'm not against them, i do believe they work, and i do believe i should do them to protect others
undone berry
I'm also not up to date, but thats because I'm a lazy shit
frosty berry
i'm not sure on what i'm not up to date, though (probably a few important things), i'd have to dig that info
damn that sucks gdude
undone berry
What's the reason for it?
sand goblet
asthma, mostly
I tend to get sick from the shot instead of just properly innoculated, and the flu and similar are pretty bad for me
undone berry
That definitely sucks
sand goblet
yep
frosty berry
my little brother almost died of measles, he caught it at 18 during the epidemic a few years ago, my mother had made sure we all caught it as children (that's a very bad thing to do, it's just a more risky kind of vaccination), except for him because he was sick for some other reason when the occasion was there, so he only caught it much later, and the later you get it, the more dangerous it is apparently.
i love my mother, but damn, she does believe a few stupid things
vestal briar
I wonder why it hasn't been classed as manslaughter yet
Or at least heavy child abuse/negligence
frosty berry
it's hard to characterise because it's not intentional, people really believe they are doing what's best for their children
and until it's a large scale problem, it's only very rarely problematic for people doing it
as they are protected by others
vestal briar
So murder should be legal for an extremist?
frosty berry
and when it becomes problematic because it's wide scale, well, it's wide scale, it's commonly held beliefs, and seen as acceptable by a lot of people
no, i don't think murder should be legal for an extremist, every if they believe they are saving the very people they would murder
rough sapphire
"hard to characterise" " murder should be legal" man thats a jump
rough sapphire
he said it was hard to categorise, not that its okay
frosty berry
but that's different, because the link between the practice and death is tenuous in most cases, it's just a risky practice, that requires some understanding of the science to understand as dangerous
vestal briar
Yeah
frosty berry
hitting people on the head with a large object is understood by a very large majority of people as dangerous
gentle moss
but acceptable because of cartoons
they never get back up though
why do they never get back up

im not sure i understand the comparison with the robot cleaners tho
using tor isnt going to stop them from taking measurements of your house

Two unrelated privacy related things

Why do people want so many meeting :|
rough sapphire
Nothing's wrong with meeting people
youre wrong sir
everything is wrong with meeting people 
glass gorge
a* meeting i mean
as in business meetings
just tell me what i need to do so i can get back to typing :(
rough sapphire
You don't enjoy spending 2 hours in a meeting though?
rough sapphire
ha
rough sapphire
It's not a meeting without powerpoint and the presenter saying "But wait" "Also, there's this" "Have you seen..."
"How many times do you find yourself..."
Wait
torn ridge
i detest powerpoint
rough sapphire
I'm confusing a presentation with an as seen on tv commercial aren't I
torn ridge
actually i think i just detest corporate
rough sapphire
I've been taking an awful lot of meetings too since I switched jobs v.v
managing a lot more aspects of a project.. but it's kinda business level and less development.. T.T
glass gorge
Yea
Mine at work are more design focused
But i do backend / connect front and back
rough sapphire
so you probably keep your meetings short, just to discuss the way ahead or action items..
wooden silo
Meetings are ok if they have a clear purpose and agenda, and don't involve unnecessary people.
gentle moss
those are the worst
pointless meetings
last managing director we had demanded weekly monday meetings
with an itinerarity and shit
even though we were a 6 person company and everyone knew wtf was going on
funnily the only one without a clue wtf was going on was the guy asking for the meetings in the first place.
rough sapphire
wouldn't that have been the point of the meetings, to keep him up to date?
gentle moss
no, because he never fucking took any of it on board
it was more of his way to exert power / control over us and seem like he actually had a purpose beyond burying the company in a mountain of debt
vapid bluff
what happened to him
gentle moss
his share in the company was bought out from him by our 2 senior techs
he put us like £60 - £100k in debt
because he didn't write contracts for shit and assumed emails were fine
all sorts of dumb shit
vapid bluff
that's a pretty big range for an estimate.
ah yes you mean 60k ha ha ha
so now you dont have a managing director position at all?
gentle moss
nah, the two techs are managing directors
they still carry on in their tech duties, but do a bit more businessy stuff
which bumped me up to senior tech
vapid bluff
ohh interesting
still feels like the old md got a win though
he got paid for being a douche
doesnt quite scratch that karma itch
you should mail him a bag of dog shit
vestal briar
The message I woke up to was "mail him a bag of dog shit"
gentle moss
actually he got a bad payout meta
this company was his retirement plan and he fucked it up
vapid bluff
oh ok good
wooden silo
I like my current employer, they are very willing to change things that aren't working.
So whenever we have a stupid or pointless routine, it's usually rectified within a couple of weeks.
If someone speaks out about it.
gentle moss
yeah
for us it's a good advantage of being a small team
more flexible than larger firms
vapid bluff
wait why did he agree to sell
especially if it was his retirement plan and everything
gentle moss
because everyone fucking hated him and the company was going to go under without major changes
he was only like a 55% share holder, the other 45% was held by our old parent company.
vapid bluff
wouldnt it make more sense then to agree to changes instead of selling o.O
gentle moss
i mean no one liked him
vapid bluff
or did everyone put their foots down and say 'if you dont sell we'll quit'
gentle moss
pretty much
i was actually considering stumping up some of my savings to take the last 3rd of the company
wooden silo
People aren't usually capable to change their entire personality on a dime.
gentle moss
he was the type of dick who'd stand behind you while you're working and put his hand on your shoulder
"what you working on?"
"oh i'm just creating automated deployment scripts for our new hosting infrastructure to allow us to deploy templates more easily."
"uh huh... well, keep it up."
or coming out his office mid phone call to ask if something is possible while trying to flog shit to some people
"is it possible to do blah blah blah"
"i mean technically yes but the hurdles woul-"
"great. thanks."
rough sapphire
the answer to any question like that should should always be "No, unless you want to spend a large amount of money doing it"
usually puts off people like that.
gentle moss
not much seemed to put that man off being an idiot
¯_(ツ)_/¯
anyway, in 2 years through efficiency savings and increasing our customer base without the useless prick we've managed to claw back the lost money
we're now making about £160k a year in profit
idk turn over
vapid bluff
noice
gentle moss
so much of it came from just migrating services and stuff. trimming the fat.
rough sapphire
@gentle moss what is it the company does?
gentle moss
IT support for businesses
gentle moss
bit further south but same side
rough sapphire
ahh ok.
well, if you are ever in need of a temp etc, give me a shout.
look, a lead balloon
Woosh!
lol
wooden silo
rough sapphire
yeah, that
rough sapphire
i was idly scanning the google map for IT support companies, seeing who you might work for
rough sapphire
nah, just curious. helps to know who and where your competitors are.
however, given the number of pins there are up here, I think I'm going to struggle. Welp. new plan.
rough sapphire
?
rough sapphire
... ok
gentle moss
The US Department of Justice distributed a morning news briefing to immigration judges that contained a link to a white nationalist website riddled with antisemitic references.

@rough sapphire https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=creeper%3F aww man.
If it wasn't clear, it's a meme and a parody song
gentle moss
did not know that was a meme
rough sapphire
the only creeper meme i knew of was, that was a nice thing you have ssshhhhhame if s ssssoomething were to happen to it.

now that I've heard it, and not enjoyed it, I still don't remember the lyrics

rough sapphire
what's pizza gate
sand goblet
OH BOY
sand goblet
it's a conspiracy theory from 2016 relating to the leaked podesta and clinton emails
gentle moss
although the irony of pizza gate is now pretty hilarious
rough sapphire
is it related to Epstein.. because I saw it mentioned on the news
gentle moss
that implied clinton was a super pedo ring organiser and that children were being kept in the basement of a DC pizza place
sand goblet
basically claiming that the democratic party people and a bunch of restaurants were involved in a child sex ring
gentle moss
no, it's the OPPOSITE of Epstein
gentle moss
as in, it targets Clinton
sand goblet
what bisk said
rough sapphire
like.. how.. Epstein's pedo island has a basement..
sand goblet
it has literally nothing to do with epstein
rough sapphire
so why a pizza place
rough sapphire
wut...
gentle moss
"cp"
rough sapphire
ahhh
sand goblet
cheese pizza is a common darknet slang for cp
rough sapphire
anyways
gentle moss
yeah, the whole thing was super dumb
sand goblet
yeah, it's stupid
rough sapphire
it's so weird how it's always these inane things..
gentle moss
SO stupid
sand goblet
and it was debunked anyway
rough sapphire
like the laundromats with the gambling rings
gentle moss
it caused some nutjob to travel across state lines with a rifle and "investigate" it for himself
rough sapphire
or the bed emporiums that laundered money..
gentle moss
Comet Pizza, the specific pizza place
that was at the centre of it
he fired several rounds and demanded to see the basement
sand goblet
did he see the basement?
gentle moss
he was quite disappointed when he was arrested and charged with a felony
sand goblet
haha
gentle moss
Mattress Firm is like, not a conspiracy thing
sand goblet
asking the important questions here
gentle moss
it's just like, not many people buy mattresses that often
and mattress firm have been buying out all their competition
anti-trust case is probably there, maybe
rough sapphire
was mattress firm thing real
gentle moss
market dominance
rough sapphire
but.. if you have a lot of stores.. then that's sunk cost and overhead
sand goblet
the problem is that someone still has to make mattresses
since.. we need them
haha
sand goblet
oh, true
gentle moss
shutting down the shop is probably more expensive than just
having another mattress firm
sand goblet
well is it though
I mean if it's a rival they probably already operate there
they don't need two stores
gentle moss
probably. can't cost much to run a mattress firm
just need two dickheads to stand about telling you how important sleep is
and most orders are going to be done from warehouses and shit
sand goblet
I doubt mattress firms run mattress stores
when have you gone to a store that was just mattresses
gentle moss
no i mean
the company is called Mattress Firm
that's the name of the mattress sales company
sand goblet
Oh
gentle moss
i see why you're confused
:D
yeah, the mattress sales company Mattress Firm has shit loads of stores because they're just buying up competitors
this channel is actually pretty informative
oh hey another block of flats caught fire 2 minutes walk away from Grenfell Towers.
nice to see the government has acted on that disaster to improve fire safety in older high rise buildings

Have you heard this thing about the amazon forest fire
gentle moss
is that their new kindllle model?
gentle moss
yeah, has been for a while
sand goblet
the brazilian leader is refusing support from other countries
saying that people are trying to frame him for deforestation
sand goblet
haha
right?
but what even, surely brazil doesn't have the resources to deal with this
gentle moss
it's like the scooby doo gang pulling off the mask
but instead ripping the flesh off his face
sand goblet
hahaha
gentle moss
brazil probably could deal with it if brazil wanted to deal with it but brazil doesn't want to deal with it because rainforest doesn't generate income
just uhhhh
air?
rough sapphire
cough cough
sand goblet
literally.
gentle moss
at least now we'll all have smoker's lung
