01:48 <@Dagmar> That won't do much about chills
01:49 <@Corydon76-home> Dagmar: I'm just relating what works for me.  It's odd, but it works.
01:53 <@Bahhumbug> alternatively you could start drinking heavily.  while in and of itself it won't do anything to warm you up eventually you will get so hammered you just won't care.
02:07 <@Dagmar> Fucking Comcast
02:07 <@Dagmar> Cable tuner had crashed again
02:07 <@Dagmar> ...and like they'll ever do shit about it other than smarmily suggest I buy their DVR service
02:08 <@Dagmar> I'll do that right before I show up at their office with a can of gasoline and a zippo
02:12 <@Dagmar> Bahhumbug: So basically, you recommend I take NyQuil

02:21 <@Dagmar> Wow.
02:22 <@Dagmar> So, Opheria just caught something funny
02:22 <@Dagmar> The episode of Clear House ("The Mast Family") that was just on, apparently uses shills
02:22 <@Dagmar> Mrs. Mast is not Mrs Mast but actually Miriam Dwyer who used to be a barista at Bongo
02:22 <@Dagmar> Imagine that, another fake reality show
02:23 <@Dagmar> If I didn't lIke Miriam I'd go link her entry on IMDB to the show episode

03:03 <@Evilpig> on another note. I saw this in my messages log and I found it interesting.
03:03 <@Evilpig> named[14077]: success resolving 'bankofafrica.com/MX' (in 'bankofafrica.com'?) after reducing the advertised EDNS UDP packet size to 512 octets
03:15 <@Dagmar> Your nameserver allows the world to query it?
03:15 <@Dagmar> Those happen all the time.  They're a sneaky form of DDoS
03:15 <@Evilpig> no.  that was an mx reverse lookup
03:15 <@Evilpig> spamfilter to be precise
03:16 <@Dagmar> Spoof query of to open nameserver using victim IP... Nameserver makes recursive query, gets *LARGE* answer.  Open nameserver then forwards LARGE answer to victim IP.
03:17 <@Dagmar> Weird. then
03:17 <@Dagmar> Looks like bind log entries to me tho
03:17 <@Evilpig> on another dns note.  still trying to get xname.org to act as my secondary.  I get an email from them saying they are updating the zone but I watch the log and don't see any transfers from them at all
03:18 <@Evilpig> I have the info messages from bind going to syslog
03:25 <@Dagmar> Right so...

11:33 <@Dolemite> So I ordered a part from NewEgg, which shipped out of the Memphis warehouse via DHL last week.  To get across the same state, it has now been in 4 different ones, and is still not delivered.
11:33 <@Dolemite> TN -> MO -> KY -> GA
11:33 <@Dolemite> We'll see if it hits California next
11:33 <+fall0ut> newegg fail
11:34 <@Dolemite> DHL fail
11:34 <+fall0ut> amzn > newegg
11:34 <@Dolemite> newegg just put it on their truck
11:34 < MaxieZ> I'd like to see it leave the country myself
11:34 < MaxieZ> DHL almost ruined Christmas for us one year.
11:34 < MaxieZ> Had to drive to one of their facilities to pick up something they swore would be delivered on time
11:35 <+fall0ut> ups is no better
11:35 <@Dolemite> I hate DHL
11:35 <@Dolemite> At least with UPS, if newegg puts it on their truck today, I will get it at my house tomorrow
11:35 <+fall0ut> maybe
11:36 <+fall0ut> i had a rash of overnight stuff disappear for 3+ weeks with ups last year
11:36 <+fall0ut> amzn fixed it all tho
11:36 <+fall0ut> amzn is win <3
11:38 <@Dolemite> I don't have anything against amazon, I just find newegg or other retailers to have better pricing
11:38 <@Dolemite> although sometimes amazon wins out

19:06 <@Corydon76-home> Dagmar: No diphenhydramine?
19:06  * Dagmar looks fuzzily at some labels
19:07 <@Corydon76-home> aka Benadryl
19:07 <@Dagmar> I took one of those last night, but now I"m out of them
19:07 <@Dagmar> I'm going to try to get Opheria to take me down to Walgreens to restock
19:07 <@Corydon76-home> Just ask her to pick you up a bottle
19:07 <@Dagmar> I've been taking waltussin CF pretty much the last three days
19:07 <@Corydon76-home> That, plus an OTC painkiller
19:08 <@Dagmar> I am just never, ever sick for this long
19:08 <@Corydon76-home> Did you get your flu shot this past season?
19:08 <@Dagmar> There's another thing I never bother doing
19:08 <@Dagmar> All the major flus have eaten me up like shortbread when Iw as getting the shots
19:08 <@Corydon76-home> I was sick for a day after it
19:09 <@Corydon76-home> mildly
19:09 <@Corydon76-home> There's something to be said for prodding your immune system with a stick that you know it can defeat every so often
19:10 <@Corydon76-home> Kind of like why we put soldiers through war games exercises
19:10 <@polerin> Dagmar: you still bumming around in minecraft?
19:10 <@Dagmar> Not in the last couple days... Too sick
19:10 <@Dagmar> Plus I'm waiting for an update
19:11 <@Dagmar> THere should be one tomorrow which will *possibly* fix a few bugs that have really been pissing me off
19:11 <@Corydon76-home> Boss's kid was messing around with something called "GMod", I think
19:11 <@Dagmar> You sure it wasn't hMod?
19:11 <@Corydon76-home> Yep
19:12 <@Dagmar> That would be the Garry's Mod machinima kit as far as I know
19:12 <@Corydon76-home> He was trying to build a roller coaster while repeatedly getting shot
19:12 <@Corydon76-home> That's it
19:12 <@Dagmar> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_22v4eHMRQ
19:12 <@Corydon76-home> "Dad, why are they shooting me?"
19:14 <@Corydon76-home> It would have been amusing, had it not been so cruel to keep shooting a pre-pubescent kid
19:16 <@Dagmar> At the moment the outstanding bugs that are driving me nuts in involve terrain generation resulting in 32x32 chunks of terrrain that are partially flipped on their x & y axes...
19:16 <@Dagmar> ...monsters can hit players from farhter away than they should, and player hit radius is for some insane reason reduced.  That makes *all* combat a very serious losing matter
19:30 <@Bahhumbug> Corydon76-home: flu shots are russian roulette; this is the first year in the past few that they properly predicted the strains that would be seen here.  Last year and the previous year were busts and the shots proven quite ineffective across the board.  I've *never* had a flu shot, never plan on it (even with my weakened respiratory system) and I've have "the flu" twice in the past 10+ years.
19:31 <@Bahhumbug> Speaking solely for myself, things have worked out for me fine.  YMMV.
19:32 <@Bahhumbug> Oh, wife works in a local elementary school and is exposed to everything known to mankind.  She gets the shot every year without fail and gets the flu every year without fail as well :(
19:32 <@Corydon76-home> Bahhumbug: Generally, I find the flu shots are reverse-odds Russian roulette.  The medical industry is generally correct, though there are some mishaps every year
19:32 <@Corydon76-home> And I doubt it's the flu your wife is getting, but rather a nasty strain of the common cold, which the flu shot does not protect against
19:33 <@Bahhumbug> if by "generally correct" you mean "wrong for the past 2 years running" then yes, I agree :)
19:33 <@Corydon76-home> At any one time, there are approximately 600 strains of common cold viruses
19:33 <@Bahhumbug> You are free to doubt as you would like.  Her doctor doesn't, however agree.  Nor do all the other staff / kids / parents that had the exact same symptoms who, for those that went to see a doctor, had the same diagnosis.
19:34 <@Bahhumbug> As I said, YMMV.
19:34 <@Corydon76-home> The past two years, it wasn't about being correct; it was that one of the manufacturers screwed up and the flu shot was extremely limited when it was needed
19:35 < pie_> http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lefsxcQzPx1qf8yek.gif
19:35 <@Corydon76-home> Bahhumbug: Another problem is with the people who do not get immunized:  their bodies wind up being laboratories for the virus to mutate beyond the protection that the flu shot protected against, thus endangering more people
19:35 <@Bahhumbug> Uh, school, second priority.  Jen has no issues getting the shot no matter general availability.  The point is, however, that the strains that they predicted would be prevalent weren't.  And the shot is only effective for one or two strains.  If they mis-guess it's just a waste of time.
19:36 <@Bahhumbug> There may well be truth to that, yes.
19:36 <@Bahhumbug> But *shrug*.  No shots, no flu.  YMMV.
19:36 <@Corydon76-home> It's like the problem with SUVs and safety.  If everybody drove a small car on the road, everybody would be safer.  But as soon as there are SUVs on the road, they become safer for those within
19:36 <@Bahhumbug> Except that SUV have never been "safe".
19:37 <@Bahhumbug> s/SUV/SUVs/
19:37 <@Bahhumbug> In recent years they've improved, but they're still not considered "safe" vehicles to drive.
19:37 <@Corydon76-home> The issue is basic physics:  Larger mass dissipates energy in a crash over a wider volume
19:38 <@Corydon76-home> So in a crash between an SUV and a small car, those in the SUV will usually end up with lesser injuries
19:38 <@Bahhumbug> Except when the basic design is flawed from inception through production.  SUVs have completely for-shit lateral stability.  They crunch quite nicely.
19:38 <@Corydon76-home> (all other things being equal, of course.  If the people in the SUV are not wearing seatbelts, because they feel "safe", all bets are off)
19:38 <@Bahhumbug> Depends on the crash and the vectors involved.
19:39 <@Bahhumbug> head on I'd say it's mostly a crapshot.  SUV getting broadsided?  My money is on the smaller vehicle.
19:39 <@Bahhumbug> Oh, of course.
19:39 <@Bahhumbug> Seatbelts and such are always assumed to be properly worn (and serviced)..
19:40 <@Bahhumbug> And airbags being in proper working order.
19:40 <@Corydon76-home> Except when they aren't and the fire department gets to wash fresh brains off the macadam
19:40 <@Corydon76-home> My ex- was a firefighter and got to do that on more than one occasion
19:44 <@Corydon76-home> Anyway, I'm an advocate of getting any immunizations which are available for diseases you're likely to run across.  (No, I am not immunized against malaria.)
19:44 <@Bahhumbug> Yeah, been there.  Used to do ride-alongs both here and in Chicago; been on any number of fatality scenes.  No matter what the cause, the results always suck.
19:44 <@Corydon76-home> Okay, gotta go start dinner
19:45 <@Bahhumbug> Your choice, of course.  And as I've said since the beginning, my results are not your results (YMMV).  But I will choose to avoid unnecessary medicines / innoculations.
19:45 <@Bahhumbug> See ya :)
19:45 <@Bahhumbug> (now watch I get the grand-daddy of the flu this year and get knocked on my ass for 2 or 3 weeks)
19:52 < cerkit> so, wtf, is everyone still alive out there?
19:52 <@Corydon76-home> Of course
19:52 < cerkit> http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/jan/04/apocalypse-mystery-bird-deaths-louisiana
19:53 < cerkit> Wasn't sure if they apparent death cloud got you.
19:53 < cerkit> the*
19:53 < cerkit> Whatever the hell that's about.
19:54 < cerkit> Bee's then bat's, now it's the birds and fish.
19:55 < cerkit> We lost a huge segment of the bat population here, over night.
19:55 < cerkit> Couple months ago.
19:55 <@Corydon76-home> Remember, we did have a massive oil slick down here, and the effects of that take a while to propagate through the ecosystem
19:55 < cerkit> I guess that's a possiblity.
19:56 < cerkit> That's some serious ish tho.
19:56 < cerkit> http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/04/fungus_kills_90_percent_of_nj.html
19:56 < cerkit> that was in April, 90% of our bat population died.
19:57 < cerkit> Weird stuff, man.
19:57 <@Corydon76-home> Did you have a particularly bad mosquito season this summer?
19:57 -!- epoxy [~ls3@71-15-26-216.dhcp.hlrg.nc.charter.com] has joined #se2600
19:58 < cerkit> Not mosquitos, surprisingly.
19:58 < cerkit> But I'm sure you saw there were bug problems in the tri-state no?
19:58 <@Corydon76-home> That, in itself, is weird
19:58 < cerkit> Well, I'm not sure we get a particularly large swarm of mosq. where I am specifically.
19:59 <@Corydon76-home> With 90% of the bats gone, I'd expect you to have horrible mosquito issues
19:59 < cerkit> Its possible it was horrible, and I jus had no awareness.
19:59 <@Corydon76-home> Ours were bad this summer, mainly due to water getting where it had not gotten in 100 years
20:00 <@Corydon76-home> May and June sucked
20:00 < cerkit> We had a strange summer, I would say overall more mild, though, there were suddenly these record breaking days.
20:00 < cerkit> I'm not sure it was good breeding for mosquitos
20:00 <@Corydon76-home> All they need is warm stagnant water
20:00 < cerkit> I'm by the ocean.
20:01 < cerkit> Not much fresh water near by.
20:01 < cerkit> Heh.
20:01 <@Corydon76-home> Think birdbaths
20:01 <@Corydon76-home> Tires...
20:01 < cerkit> No, I know.
20:01 < cerkit> It was't bad though.
20:01 <@Corydon76-home> The town I grew up in in eastern PA was built on a swamp
20:02 <@Corydon76-home> I'm rather familiar with them
20:02 < cerkit> Winters on the other hand.
20:02 < cerkit> The last 2 have been somewhat hardcore, heh.
20:02 <@Corydon76-home> Yeah, 3 feet of snow sucks
20:02 < cerkit> Last year, it snowed so much, so fast...
20:03 < cerkit> I had to climb and shovel the room, because it covered the long necked pipe our furnace breathes through
20:03 < cerkit> roof*
20:03 <@Corydon76-home> ouch
20:03 < cerkit> Five foot tall airway
20:03 < cerkit> covered
20:03 < cerkit> 9:30 at the night the heat clicks off
20:03 < cerkit> I'm like... WTF?
20:03 < cerkit> Then... again at 12:30
20:03 < cerkit> THAT, was a storm, boy.
20:04 < cerkit> shoveled the roof twice.
20:04 <@Corydon76-home> Hmmm, I dunno if I'd prefer that to losing my backyard to a flood or not
20:04 < cerkit> Just a combination of the direction of the wind, the angel of the room to it, and the fact that it wss coming down some record breaking rate...
20:04 < cerkit> like, 3.5 inches an hour or something
20:05 <@Corydon76-home> My backyard was literally underwater for 2 days in May
20:05 < cerkit> I'd probably take the snow.
20:05 < cerkit> I'd be skeezed out by long term standing wster.
20:06 < cerkit> we just got 22 inches last week
20:06 < cerkit> like it was nuttin
20:06 <@Corydon76-home> This wasn't standing water.  It was quickly flowing.  The debris in the water collected and flattened my fences
20:06 < cerkit> oh... wow.
20:06 < cerkit> wht the hell do you do, just sit there and watch it?
20:06 < cerkit> i mean at that level of natural disaster I'm towel-throwin
20:07 <@Corydon76-home> We watched the new car in the neighbor's backyard flood and spin
20:07 < cerkit> I was in TN when it got hit by those tornados...
20:07 < cerkit> That's my closest scrape with any of that kind of stuff.
20:07 <@Corydon76-home> They nearly lost a Ford Mustang
20:07 <@Corydon76-home> but the car it got was gone
20:08 <@Corydon76-home> By gone, I mean totalled
20:08 < cerkit> That must suck.
20:08 < cerkit> How often does that happen?
20:08 < cerkit> 5-10 years?
20:08 <@Corydon76-home> They called it a 1,000 year flood
20:08 < cerkit> Nice.
20:08 < cerkit> They called the blizzard last year "Snowmageddon"
20:08 <@Corydon76-home> Each day was a 500-year flood, but together...
20:08 < cerkit> The whole tri-state was closed down.
20:09 <@Corydon76-home> The great Nashville flood of 2010
20:09 < cerkit> Yeah, that kind of stuff is scary.
20:09 < cerkit> Snow, we just sit inside, eat and play video games.
20:09 < cerkit> You really don't worry too much.
20:09 <@Corydon76-home> I only lost my backyard and fences.  Some people downriver who weren't even in the 100-year floodplain lost everything, including their house
20:10 <@Corydon76-home> You need to worry about whether the amount of snow could collapse the roof
20:10 < cerkit> I guess...
20:10 < cerkit> But, there would be plenty of warning.
20:10 < cerkit> A lot of other shit would collapse first.
20:11 < cerkit> Carports...  windshields... trees would give
20:11 <@Bahhumbug> generally roofs before trees.
20:11 < cerkit> I don't know, you'd have to come here and see.
20:11 <@Corydon76-home> Yeah, trees bend... Roofs do not
20:11 < cerkit> The ground is a lot of sand.
20:11 < cerkit> They're very loosely rooted
20:11 <@Bahhumbug> trees have no way of supporting enough mass to cause catastrophic results.
20:11 <@Bahhumbug> hmm, sandy soil might play a part I 'spose.
20:11 <@Corydon76-home> I have seen trees snap, but that was due to ice, not snow
20:12 < cerkit> We lose trees in 60 mph summer thunderstorms
20:12  * Bahhumbug nods
20:12 < cerkit> A lot!
20:12 < cerkit> hahaha
20:12 <@Corydon76-home> It's impressive to see 4 inches of ice around a limb
20:12 < cerkit> Its just very sandy.
20:12 <@Bahhumbug> in chicago in '79 I made something like $1700 shoveling roofs during the second largest snowfall in Chicago history.
20:12 < cerkit> The roots have barely anything to hold on to.
20:12 <@Bahhumbug> cerkit: where you at?
20:12 < cerkit> New Jersey
20:12 < cerkit> By the shore
20:13 <@Bahhumbug> Ahh, ok.  that 'splains it.
20:13 <@Corydon76-home> That depends upon how far down is solid rock
20:13 < cerkit> Rock is WAY WAY down.
20:13 < cerkit> It's all cly
20:13 < cerkit> clay*
20:13 <@Corydon76-home> Generally, trees have as much mass below ground as above
20:13 <@Bahhumbug> and yeah, 4 inches of ice on a limb is damned impressive.  especially if it's not snapping like a twig.
20:13 < cerkit> You get through a couple feet of sand, you got some very very loose soil...and CLAY
20:13 < cerkit> like you wouldn't believe
20:14 < cerkit> So, the tree's have these viney, long, finger roots
20:14 <@Corydon76-home> I know clay, but usually it's somewhat rocky
20:14 < cerkit> And long heavy branches over time
20:14 < cerkit> No rocks
20:14 < cerkit> This is like pottery clay
20:14 < cerkit> We get a good storm
20:14 <@Corydon76-home> Usually it's the deciduous trees that snap.  The evergreens fare much better
20:14 < cerkit> And they jus come up, and tip over
20:15 < cerkit> The flush of the water loosens the soil that much more
20:15 < cerkit> combined with the wind...
20:15 < cerkit> and bewm!
20:15 < cerkit> So, here, it's usully tree's before the roof.
20:15 < cerkit> And its carports abound.
20:16 < cerkit> You'd hear those things dropping like flys.
20:16 <@Corydon76-home> Yeah, with carports, though, it's usually the canvas ripping, isn't it?
20:16 < cerkit> They're jus a little bit aluminum on steel supports
20:16 < cerkit> like think... siding
20:16 <@Corydon76-home> Oh, aluminum
20:16 < cerkit> on some poles
20:16 <@Corydon76-home> Yeah, that explains it
20:16 < cerkit> Well, it's NJ
20:16 < cerkit> hahaha
20:17 < cerkit> So, if something like snow killing the roof was due
20:17 <@Corydon76-home> I'm used to the old fashioned ones built of steel.  Heavy as hell, but sturdy
20:17 < cerkit> Ten minutes before...
20:17 < cerkit> There would be holy hell all around you
20:17 < cerkit> All the cheap shore shit...
20:17 < cerkit> would be imploding
20:17 <@Corydon76-home> btw, this is also why houses in the mountains have much steeper roofs... keeps the snow off
20:17 < cerkit> Yeah, we had a bad angle to the wind last year boy.
20:18 < cerkit> It drifted all over the tops of the houses.
20:18 < cerkit> This year, not so much.
20:18 < cerkit> And it fell ALOT slower.
20:18 <@Corydon76-home> Wish we had traditional overhangs on our porches, like in the North
20:18 < cerkit> Last year was 36"
20:18 < cerkit> This year 22"
20:18 <@Corydon76-home> Allows you to open your door, even with 3 feet of snow
20:19 < cerkit> Man, people were gettying knocked cold, coming out of their houses.
20:19 < cerkit> They'd shut the door, bewm shut, and get avalanched.
20:19 <@Corydon76-home> lol
20:19 <@Corydon76-home> Yeah, idiots
20:19 < cerkit> I taped it.
20:19 < cerkit> I have like 40 gigs of it in HD.
20:19 <@Corydon76-home> Time to fix your door so you don't have to slam it to get it to latch
20:19 < cerkit> It was an amazing night.
20:20 < cerkit> The way the snow fell was just beyond anything I had ever even imagined.
20:20 < cerkit> It was like, there was nothing else. It jus poured down.
20:20 < cerkit> These giants flakes too.
20:21 < cerkit> Visibility was like, from the front door, to the steps.
20:21 < cerkit> Like, 6 feet.
20:22 < cerkit> Now, if all that was water.
20:22 < cerkit> We'd be in the mess you were.
20:22 < cerkit> Think about how much liquid water it takes to accumulate 36" inches of snow, haha.
20:23 < cerkit> Well, hopefully, it'll be another 1,000 years for ya, man.
20:24 < cerkit> We get this every 5.
20:24 < cerkit> 5 off, 3 on.
20:25 < cerkit> So, what the hell do you do, boat places when that happens?
20:26 < eryc> ya and complain on facebook

21:10 < pie_> dont derp n drive cos u probably gonna swerve.
21:11 <@Bahhumbug> news reports from earlier this afternoon (no citation at the moment) reported that they believe that this was a flock that was scared from roost to take flight due to fireworks and got bitch-smacked by higher-altitude hail.  Reports were that there was evidence of impact that could not be correlated with ground impact.
21:12 < cerkit> Imagine then the odds...
21:12 < cerkit> Of them dying that way, and the fish dying at the same time.
21:12 < cerkit> Crazy.
21:12 <@Bahhumbug> Fish was louisana, wasn't it?
21:12 < cerkit> No.
21:12 <@Bahhumbug> or was that arkansas as well?
21:12 < cerkit> Fish, 80,000 - Birds 5000 Arkansas
21:13 < cerkit> Then about 1,000 today
21:13 < cerkit> in Lousinana
21:13 < cerkit> Since Sunday, basically.
21:13 <@Bahhumbug> Oh, there was another episode of birds dropping out of the sky today?  I had not heard about that one.
21:13 <@Bahhumbug> it's the end of times.
21:14 < cerkit> That would be too simple.
21:14 <@Bahhumbug> birds falling dead from the sky is, I believe, one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
21:14 < cerkit> Plus, if there was an apocolypse, it would mean there was an all merciful god, and all that bible nonsense was true.
21:14 < cerkit> So, we'd be chillin.
21:14 < cerkit> Rapture... then... drinks
21:15 <@Bahhumbug> it just means that the alien overlords are on their way back to pick up the whales.
