00:00 < K`Tetch> just fun to SHOW them that
00:00 <@Dagmar> Geiger counters don't detect ions, last I checked.
00:00 <@Dagmar> Mebbe look up Laughing Boy.  He probably knows some equipment that might do the trick
00:00 < K`Tetch> a geiger muller tube is an ioniation chamber
00:00 < K`Tetch> which is exactly what you need for what they claim
00:01 < K`Tetch> I'll do a writeup ina few days
00:01 < K`Tetch> i did speak to chad after I posted that
00:01 < K`Tetch> just hard to catch him in GA
00:02 <@Dagmar> Ah
00:02 <@Dagmar> Well, as I understand it, ionizing radiation is what's bad for you
00:03 <@Dagmar> So... perhaps the salt lamp problem will resolve itself, given enough time.

00:20 < K`Tetch> Dagmar - "Yes, negative ions have many functions; that still doesn't invalidate the aforementioned. The electromagnetic radiation of our technological devices emit positive ions (which, positive ions are harmful for our bodies), so the release of negative ions from the salt would indeed have a neutralizing effect, albeit minute - it's still technically effective."
00:21 < K`Tetch> " Also, it releases negative ions which act as a neutralizer to electromagnetic radiation and reduces the toxicity of electrosmog. Those negative ions are equivalent (in a much smaller dose) to those released by waterfalls, which acts an anxiety reducer and encourages a relaxing atmosphere for sleep. Negative ions enter the bloodstream and produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of serotonin; helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress and b
00:23 < K`Tetch> she used to be smart.. then she had 2 kids, and this is what happened

09:50 <@Corydon76> K`Tetch: if it has a reduced effect of a waterfall, she'd be better off with an indoor waterfall.
09:50 <@Corydon76> They make those now
10:34 <@Dagmar> I am beginning to develop serious misgivings about what's going on with BTC right now
10:36 <@opticron> you thinking the bubble is going to detonate?
10:37 <@Dagmar> I am not sure this is a bubble.  I think it might be related to how backlogged the blockchain is
10:37 <@Dagmar> Although I might not be the only ones
10:37 <@Dagmar> BTC, ETC, and even LTC all took a pretty serious dive overnight as a lot of money exited
10:38 <@Dagmar> Where the blockchain is supposed to be _fast_ I keep seeeing reports of it being so backlogged that it's not really doing better than wire transfers
10:39 <@Dagmar> I'd kind of like ETH and LTC to hit my guesstimated targets for the week
10:40 <@Dagmar> If I can work out where someone is profitting from the blockchain being backlogged it would be nice
10:40 <@Dagmar> ...and I'm starting to have a concern that segwit might be making the problem more complex
10:41 <@Dagmar> But look at the charts for around 10:15am CST
10:47 <@Dagmar> I guess it all depends on how many "filthy casuals" are buying in
10:47 <@Dagmar> All things being equal, me worrying about this while I was in the shower might have caused it
10:47 <@Dagmar> Cuz seriously.
10:47 <@Dagmar> I got up this morning expecting BTC to have tapered off it's inexplicable rise
10:48 <@Dagmar> Got in the shower at 10:10

10:48 <@dasunt> "I wouldn't have voted for him if he was crooked," Hess, 74, added with a laugh.
10:48 <@Dagmar> Good old CNN... always able to find stupid people saying annoying shit so they don't have to come up with linkbait headlines on their own
10:49 <@Dagmar> Still, I think my LTC and ETH should hit their targets today
10:50 <@Dagmar> ...at which point if BTC comes back to a more sane level with another 30% drop and everyone freaks the fuck out and liquidates, I won't care
10:51 <@Dagmar> I've been micromanaging hard and am way over 10% returns
10:51 <@dasunt> Dagmar: I'd say that the majority of people who support a candidate probably have stupid reasons for supporting them.
10:51 <@Dagmar> dasunt: yeah but CNN finding stupid people to support a garish, ire-raising headline is more than a bit disingenous
10:52 <@dasunt> CNN's still probably pissed about being called fake news.
10:52 <@Dagmar> Then they should stop publishing bullshit.
10:53 <@dasunt> Nah.  If they actually focused on the issues, they'd have a chance of hurting Trump.
10:53 <@dasunt> Instead, we get clickbait.
10:55 <@dasunt> But it's understandable.  News is less about being informed and more about reinforcing your belief system.
11:03 <@Dagmar> Okay.  Screw using a gridLayout for this thing
11:04 <@Dagmar> I've no idea why it's doing this shit: 05-25 11:03:08.880 16705-16705/org.dsurreal.pdart D/android.widget.GridLayout: horizontal constraints: x1-x0>=324, x2-x1>=324, x3-x2>=324, x3-x0<=888 are inconsistent; permanently removing: x3-x0<=888.
11:04 <@Dagmar> All the views are still there.
11:04 <@Dagmar> It'll display the exact same way with two sets of LinearLayouts nested
12:23 <@rattle> Ouch.  Massive selloff.
12:40 <@rattle> And GDAX straight up blew the fuck up.
13:01 < aestetix> so from a rational view
13:01 < aestetix> once bitcoin crashes, it's stupid to go anywhere near it
13:01 < aestetix> however, it's probably smart to buy, because everyone is stupid and it will spike again
13:01 < aestetix> every time bitcoin rises more, I lose a bit of faith in humanity
13:28 <@dasunt> Well, if BTC is worth investing in, it's effectively on sale after a crash.
13:28 <@dasunt> Who knows though - I get a Dutch Tulipy feeling from all of this.
13:53 <@Dagmar> I blame Kik.
13:53 <@Dagmar> They announced a cryptocurrency of their own this morning, and people realized cryptocurrences have jumped the shark.
14:03 <@Dagmar> Im looking at 51% gains over the last two months.
14:03 <@Dagmar> I guess micromanaging works

14:40 <@dasunt> Man who buys winning lotto ticket claims his technique works.  ;)
14:41 <@Dagmar> I'm literally just benching how far it goes in a few hours/days and putting in low buy orders
14:41 <@Dagmar> If I'm right, it eventually fluctuates down to my buy price
14:41 <@dasunt> I suspect we'll have another bust/boom/bust cycle in BTC yet.
14:41 <@Dagmar> Then I put in a sell order at how far it'll go up in the same amount of time
14:41 <@Dagmar> Things are still swinging up and down wildly
14:45 <@dasunt> Is there a rapid enough resolution to allow that?
15:07 <@Dagmar> Yeah, just look at GDAX
15:07 <@Dagmar> It's an actual exchange.,
15:09 <@dasunt> So, OT, but we have a document management system.
15:10 <@dasunt> We did work on a file not in the document management system.  We forwarded it to the end user.
15:10 <@dasunt> Now she wants us to upload it.
15:10 <@dasunt> Which means we'll have to spend 5 minutes of back and forth emails figuring out where it should go.
15:11 <@dasunt> It takes literally a few seconds to upload the file.
15:11 <@dasunt> But we can waste minutes trying to communicate between multiple people.
