00:32 <@Dagmar> oddball: Big batteries are great.  :)
00:33 <@Dagmar> oddball: Yeah, it appears that one of the little dimwits decided to tail me out of Centennial Park last night
00:33 <@Dagmar> oddball: I identified the possibility, verified the threat, called the police and gave them the vehicle description and licence plate
00:33 <@Dagmar> At no point had they made even a passing attempt to let me know they were Ingress players.
00:34 <@Dagmar> The only information I had at hand was that I was definitely being followed at 11pm when there were no witnesses around.
00:35 <@Dagmar> I think perhaps the simplest approach is going to be to point out to them that when they wait until they've got someone alone with no witnesses to pull shit like this, that they've created a situation in which there are no witnesses around to see what happens to _them_.
00:36 <@Dagmar> I pulled into a parallel parking space where I could alternately just drive right into the grass, or run someone the fuck over.  Whatever was handy at at the moment.
00:36 <@Dagmar> They creeept on by and balked at going anywhere when they got to the 4-way intersection just ahead, which made it very obvious someone was hoping I would step out of my car
00:37 <@Dagmar> Now, I *did* warn the little fuckers in COMMs, but they denied having anything to do with it
00:37 <@Dagmar> The only reason I knew they were around was they started attacking a somewhat nearby part of the park about 120 seconds later
00:38 <@Dagmar> ...and since these guys have ignored us telling them the park is closed on three separate occasions now, that they more or less immediately broke off their attack and split is a pretty damning admission of guilt right there
00:38 <@Dagmar> ...but it's not stopped them from acting all butthurt.
00:39 <@Dagmar> ...and i'm like, that's fine.  Don't listen to reason.  One of the other little fuckwits is liable to try it for themselves, and if i wind up in a situation when I feel I have to get out of my car and yank someone out of their car proactively, I'm completely fine with that
00:39 <@Dagmar> It won't bother me even a little bit.
00:41 <@Dagmar> The _next_ time I might just call and then lead the dumbfucks past where the undercover officers are usually parked.
00:42 <@Dagmar> The only reason I even mentioned the police call to the idiots is that I would rather the police _not_ realize their time was wasted on the juvenile bullshit of stupid people.
00:42 <@Dagmar> If I see someone trying to perhaps carjack someone else, I call the police and tell them about it.  Crazy, I know.
00:53 < aestetix> _NSAKEY: sounds about right.
00:57 <@oddball> So... what you're saying is that somefolks take this damned game to the length that it might not be a bad idea for me to play while strapped.
00:58 <@oddball> After all, I can carry in local parks now.
00:58 <@oddball> Actually, regularly looking at a portable device that's worth a few hundred bucks, carrying ain't a bad idea period.
01:07 <@Dagmar> Yet one of the many reasons these idiots don't seem to realize they're flirting with disaster
01:08 <@Dagmar> If thugs had gotten out of that car, there's a good chance I would have run someone the fuck over and that wouldn't necessarily have been the wrong response
01:09 <@Dagmar> Between the relative state of the car and the heavily tinted windows and not a head in sight, they looked shifty as hell
01:10 <@Dagmar> If they have a problem with that their attempt at intimidating someone blew up in their face, they can kiss my ass
01:11 <@Dagmar> Also, fuck them for interrupting my burrito
01:13 <@Dagmar> I bought two before I got there, finished the first one as I arrived, went all over the park, got back in my car and set my playlist and was just about to start eating the other one when the idiots pulled in behind me
01:13 <@Dagmar> I had to put it down and deal with dumb people's crap instead
01:30 <@Evilpig> "fuck them for interrupting my burrito"  this is a quote for the ages
01:34 <@Dagmar> heheh
02:14 < aestetix> hmm
02:14 < aestetix> https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/3e2nbl/new_texas_textbooks_downplay_the_role_of_slavery/
02:15 < PigBot`> Title: New Texas textbooks downplay the role of slavery in the Civil War and omit mention of Jim Crow laws or the Ku Klux Klan. : news (at www.reddit.com)
02:15 < aestetix> I should read into the Fugitive Slave Act more.
02:15 < aestetix> I'm curious about how it got passed.
02:43 <@Dagmar> With a lot of yelling
02:43 <@Dagmar> You'll see why
03:19 < aestetix> Dagmar: what I mean is.... the argument about southern states not believing in states rights for the north due to their not following the FSA
03:19 < aestetix> that argument doesn't actually hold, because that's not a states rights issue
03:19 < aestetix> it becomes an interstate rights issue, which is the domain of the federal government
03:20 <@Dagmar> Yep.  There was a _lot_ of cognitive dissonance going on
03:20 < aestetix> Which gets tricky. If I steal your TV, and go to another state and sell it to someone, does that person have to give you back your tv
03:21 < aestetix> That is how the south viewed it. But not the north
03:21 <@Dagmar> Yep.  Jurisdictional chaos.
03:21 <@Dagmar> It's one of the things that highlighted the need for there to be explcit federal powers regarding the subject
03:22 < aestetix> Thus why the CSA had it in their constitution
03:22 <@Dagmar> ...and why the 18th amendment was _necessary_ to grant the federal government jurisdictional authority over matters like this.
03:23 <@Dagmar> Everyone's running around thinking Federal > State but that is not categorically true, nor was it ever
03:24 < aestetix> This is why I'm opposed to Roe v Wade, actually
03:25 < aestetix> I don't think the federal government should say ANYTHING about abortion.
03:25 <@Dagmar> That's a case that was escalated to the Supreme Court
03:25 <@Dagmar> It's not due to federal jurisdiction
03:25 < aestetix> it became jurisdiction
03:25 <@Dagmar> The Supreme Court can do what they like about either
03:26 < aestetix> Including reject the case on jurisdictional grounds
03:27 <@Dagmar> Yes, they're allowed to say "NOt our problem.  Sort it out for yourselves."
03:27 <@Dagmar> hehehe
03:28 <@Dagmar> Lastchild asked for suggestions of what games he should get so he and his wife could play on the PS3 together.
03:28 <@Dagmar> I suggested Rez.

10:06 < ware> president of nintendo died
10:07 < ware> the ambulance went Wii U, Wii U, Wii U
10:32 <@oddball> gratz on making a bad joke about old news
10:37 <@opticron> he sent it to multiple channels
10:37 <@oddball> Of course he did.
10:57 <@Dagmar> Someone's a little slow this morning
11:09 < Synx|hm> so i had one dream out of college
11:09 < Synx|hm> to work specifically for Nissan as a embedded systems engineer doing ECU/OBD-II design/development
11:10 < Synx|hm> guess what job just popped up at the Smyrna office
11:15 <@Dagmar> A lotion application technician position at the Pink Unicorn?
11:28 < aestetix> ugh
11:28 < aestetix> I just saw "ware" and "pink unicorn" together. fuck speed reading

11:37 <@Dagmar> Okay... having spent a few hours reading through Amazon reviews, I'm now prepared to say I don't think 18650's with a 5000mAh capacity actually exist
11:37 <@Dagmar> ...so I ordered four Sanyo 18650's with a 2600mAh capacity
11:39 < ware> gg
11:40 <@Dagmar> Not vaping.
11:41 <@Dagmar> THey're going to power my RPi
11:58 <@Evilpig> hey, Dagmar...  so i'm at my brother's place and he's got an alienware deal running through his receiver via hdmi
11:59 <@Evilpig> now when he powers the receiver off the pc reverts to an unknown monitor and you have to detect it again to get it back to native resolution
11:59 <@Evilpig> can you think of any way to automate that OR make windows not be retarded about hdmi and retain the settings?
11:59 <@Evilpig> I guess this could be a question to anyone
12:12 <@oddball> Dagmar: That reminds me.  I need to order a couple of those for some of my flashlights.
12:12 <@oddball> 'cause CR123 batteries are expensive.
12:20 <@Dagmar> You might not be amused unless the device is expecting half the usual current
12:20 <@Dagmar> 18650's are 3.7-4.2v rechargeables, and if you discharge them completely you're done
12:21 <@oddball> Ah, maybe I'm thinking about the wrong ones, then.
12:22 <@Dagmar> Could be
12:22 <@Dagmar> ...although there's a hell of a lot of flashlights that use 18650's apparently.
12:23  * oddball checks
12:23 <@oddball> nope... 18650 is what I have in one of them.
12:24 <@Dagmar> You have a 66mm long bettery in there?
12:24 <@oddball> Yep.  I believe the high end flashlight market was what really pushed their development.
12:25 <@Dagmar> Dude the CR123's are only about 34mm long
12:25 <@Dagmar> ...and actually it's apparently the result of e-smokers
12:25 <@oddball> Yep.  And I have a few flashlights that either take 2 CR123s or 1 18650
12:25 <@oddball> huh... thought it was the other way around.
12:25 <@Dagmar> Ah... in pairs.   Okay that'll work
12:26 <@Dagmar> There are literally jillions of ecig rigs that use one or two 18650's
12:27 <@oddball> The little one that I currently carry only takes 1 cr123, but there's another rechargable that I can get that's the same size.  The flashlight manufacturer states that you get more light on the high setting, but less run time across the board.
12:28 <@oddball> Oh, I know that 18650 is pretty much the standard for eCigs.  I just thought that the flashlight folks started using them before eCigs had really taken off.
12:30 <@Dagmar> They probably _were_ using them, but it's high margins that make a market grow
12:30 <@Dagmar> Flashlights are basically flashlights.  There's not a lot of room for fancy.
12:30 <@Dagmar> Fucking hipsters looking for the "bestest rig evar" on the other hand, are practically a licence to print money
12:32 <@oddball> Oh, you'd be surprised how far the rabbit hole goes with the high end flashlight crowd.
12:33 <@oddball> Especially once things started switching to LEDs and programable switches.
12:34 <@Dagmar> yeah but there's not a million of them cluttering up every coffee house and craft brew bar
12:34 <@Dagmar> This is sort of like the deal with GL and SGI
12:34 <@Dagmar> What *finally* made GL really fly?
12:35 <@Dagmar> Fuckin' Doom and Quake.
12:35 <@oddball> yeah
12:35 <@Dagmar> Prior to that, SGI pimped GL for ages to virtually no effect
12:35 <@Dagmar> Suddenly, nVidia and large bags of money falling from the sky
12:36 <@Dagmar> ...because gamers are a lot more common than high end data visualization experts, apparently.
12:43 <@Dagmar> My only concern about these batteries is going to be whether or not it'll be cool enough on Saturday to solder on the balcony
12:44 <@Dagmar> ...because I'm just gonna solder the things into an array.
12:44 <@Dagmar> Something goes wrong?  Into the river they go.
12:44 <@oddball> heh... there you go.
