12:06 < uSynx> hope they can ship fast!
12:23 <@ShadowHntr> it's a full week before valentine's day!
12:23 <@ShadowHntr> should be fine :)
12:45 <@Dagmar> Try to resist the "putting _______ in my mouth" jokes.
12:45 <@Dagmar> I *dare* you.
12:52 <@Dagmar> Oh.  News from Egypt that doesn't seem to be hitting very widely
12:52 <@Dagmar> (cuz I know two people currently IN Egypt that I was talking to last night)
12:52 <@Dagmar> There's currently internet, but it appears to be _extremely rate-limited_ at the moment, as if someone were forcing everything to go through a DPI filter.
12:53 <@Dagmar> Yeah, Mubarak's a cool guy alright
12:53 <@Dagmar> If that doesn't end soon I'm going to start poking at it
12:53 <@Dagmar> Might as well start using these haxoring skills for good.
13:05 <@Dagmar> Trying to spot where the DPI filter is shouldn't be terribly hard

15:08 < Dickie> Why do people in foreign countries make protest signs in English?
15:09 <@ShadowHntr> Dickie: if they did it in their own language and you didn't speak it, how would you know anything about their grief?
15:50 <@sdodson> Subtitles?
15:57 <@ShadowHntr> LOL
15:59 <@sdodson> Anyone know the legalities regarding harassment over the phone? I've had a debt collection company call me every day for the past week using a robocaller. If I answer I'm told to call some number, if I call that number I sit on hold. I've never spoken to a real person.
16:00 <@sdodson> As far as I can tell I have no outstanding debts.
16:00 <@ShadowHntr> get their mailing address, send them a cease and desist letter
16:00 <@ShadowHntr> certified mail
16:01 <@sdodson> So far I've looked them up and found their consumer advocacy line, I called that and guess what... on hold for 10 minutes. Anyway, I left a message explaining the situation and told them i'd be willing to speak with someone however if they continue robocalling me I'm going to consider it harassment and contact The Man.
16:01 <@sdodson> I guess I should mail them the same.
16:02 <@Dagmar> When did robocalling become legal exactly?
16:03 <@Dagmar> I was of the impression that simply was *not* legal unless you're a non-profit or political organization.
16:03 <@Dagmar> Sounds like fraud to me.
16:03 <@ShadowHntr> i think that's just if you join the do not call list
16:03 <@ShadowHntr> but i'm not an expert
16:04 <@Dagmar> Afaik you can't robocall unless you've got a live person ready to talk to the person you called
16:06 <@ShadowHntr> never heard about that one before
16:06 <@Bahhumbug> Dagmar: that is my understanding as well.
16:06 <@Bahhumbug> But I can't cite precedent on regulatory action on it.

16:13 < Mercster> MICHELLE DOES NOT APPROVE
16:13 < Mercster> man that sounds awesome
16:16 <@sdodson> Yuengling is my default beer if I'm presented with too many options to comprehend.
16:16 <@sdodson> Unless they've got Red Oak on tap, which almost every bar around here does.
16:17 < Mercster> arent you fancy

16:35 < Bahhumbug> +1
16:35 < Mercster> i love it when people associate their beer selection with their self esteem
16:35 < Mercster> looooool
16:35 < Mercster> got nothing else going for you? pretend to be a beer snob!
16:36 < Mercster> it's like people who think they're coffee afficionados
16:37 < Mercster> heeeelarious
16:39 <@sdodson> I don't think Red Oak is snobby at all. It just happens to be a beer I've found that I like.
16:39 < Mercster> cool
16:39 < Mercster> i enjoy natty ice
16:39  * Mercster watches sdodson try not to make a crack about natty ice
16:40 < Mercster> hey it's all about what we enjoy, right? no judgements
16:40 <@sdodson> I've not had Natty Ice. Just Natty Lite
16:40 < Mercster> natty ice has higher booze content
16:41 <@sdodson> I work with a self proclaimed beer snob. When I go out with him I generally let him pick my beers because we're normally at a place where I don't know any of the beers.
16:42 < Mercster> the last time i had a weird beer, it was when a friend took me to an indian restaurant
16:42 < Mercster> i think it was called taj or something
16:42 < Mercster> it was ok
16:42 <@sdodson> King Fisher is huge over there.
16:42 < Mercster> tasted like a pretty typical lager
16:42 <@sdodson> I don't like IPAs one bit.
16:43 < Mercster> it was taj, or taj mahal, or something
16:43 <@sdodson> I really liked Sierra Nevada for a few years and suddenly started hating it and all other IPAs.
16:49 < Dickie> It's meh
16:49 < Mercster> afternoon dickie
16:49 < Dickie> I can tolerate pretty much anything, except Coronoa and that Bud Lite Lime
16:49 < Dickie> yuck
17:11 < Mercster> here we gooooooooooooooooo
17:11 < Mercster> GO PITTSBURG
17:15 <@sasquatc4> go ...... commercials, screw football
17:18 < Mercster> are you still mad at the whole sport because the football team picked on you in high school
17:20 <@sasquatc4> no, i just dont give a crap about football, or really any pro sports, its giant mind and money suck for a country
17:20 <@sasquatc4> i even only barely care about my schools team when they play, and i have a vested interest in that
17:20 < Mercster> yeah it's a real tragedy, aint it
17:22 < Mercster> mmmm aguilera
17:37 < Dickie> I think that's too harsh a criticism for sports
17:37 < Mercster> yeah he's probably angry at ancient greece, too
17:37  * Dickie retracts
17:37 < Mercster> since they invented the olympics
17:37 < Dickie> I'm too tired to defend anything
17:38 < Mercster> if only we were all computer nerds :(
17:38 < Mercster> maybe we'd get the hot chicks
17:39 < Mercster> having said that, he may be more forgiving of the olympics, since most of the dudes were naked
17:39 < Mercster> looooool
17:40 < Mercster> damnit
17:43 <@sasquatc4> i like how your rebutle is either i am a lowly nerd who hates on the 'jocks', or to insuate im gay, neither of which is true, i dont have anything against sports in general, i just think idolizing pro-sports related things, either teams or players, is a waste of time and effort
17:44 < Mercster> 'rebuttal'
17:44 <@sasquatc4> thanks
17:44 < Mercster> for a lowly nerd, you cant spell very well :/
17:45 < Mercster> maybe instead of blaming professional sports for your woes, you should blame your education
17:45 < Mercster> oh, you fucked up 'insinuate' too
17:45 <@sasquatc4> never said i was blaming pro sports for anything
17:45 < Mercster> huh
17:46 < Mercster> mmkay well maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself
17:46 < Mercster> cuz they dont make any sense
17:46 < Mercster> are you mad at soccer and the world cup too?
17:46 < Mercster> or are you just mad at american football, cuz that's where you grew up
17:47 <@sasquatc4> like i said, not mad at anyone or any sport, i just think its retarded to completely idolize and obsess over them

18:51 < Dickie> I like how you decided I was being homophobic or hypocritical by disagreeing with your opinion of sports.
18:52 < Dickie> And not so much your opinion in its entirety, just the degree
18:56 < Mercster> i think he was talking to me
