00:59 <@Dagmar> Honestly at this point, either build a Plex box or buy a Roku because you can install Emby (and Plex) on it
00:59 <@Dagmar> The smaller one with the wifi-direct remote (not IR) is what we've got in the master bedroom
00:59 <@Dagmar> It works great
01:00 <@Dagmar> ...although I dearly wish Roku would FUCKING STOP changing the backgrounds
01:00 <@Dagmar> ...also they seem to like occasionally adding new apps to the goddamn thing, which scrambles the positions I'm used to finding them in
03:51 < aestetix> this will be fun
03:51 < aestetix> a bunch of people in berlin are either fans of or are currently reading Das Kapital
03:52 < aestetix> so I'm responding by reading The Gulag Archipelago
03:52 < aestetix> and god is it depressing so far

06:26 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:30  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:30 < aestetix> Dolemite: you were in San Francisco. Did you get high?
06:32 <@Dolemite> Nope
06:32 <@Dolemite> Other than walking up Mason street to an Italian restaurant, but it was worth it.
06:33 < aestetix> oh you were near Ft. Mason?
06:34 <@Dolemite> I was staying right at the Powell Street BART station
06:34 <@Dolemite> Parc 55 Hotel
06:35 < aestetix> figures
06:35 < aestetix> that's where all the tourists live
06:35 < aestetix> it's to the point where if someone has a suitcase on BART and looks clueless, you just say "get off at powell"
06:36 <@Dolemite> LOL
06:36 <@Dolemite> yep
06:36 <@Dolemite> But yeah, DockerCon was at the Moscone
06:36 <@Dolemite> So all the hotels near it were the conference hotels
06:36 < aestetix> basically.... hipsters get off in the mission, lawyers get off at civic center, tourists get off at powell, and everyone who has a day job gets off at montgomery
06:37 < aestetix> and rich people get off at embarcadero
06:37 <@Dolemite> The food at the conference was awful.   Not enough seating anywhere.   Meals were eaten standing up, or sitting on the floor.
06:37 < aestetix> but you were in SAN FUCKING FRANCISCO
06:41 <@Dolemite> Yeah, I know.   I gave up on the open bars and went to get some decent food on my own.
06:42 <@Dolemite> The problem is that if the conference provides a meal, you don't get per diem for that meal.
06:43 <@Dolemite> So I had to be picky about where and when I chose to eat away, as I had a limited pool of funds before I was on my own dime.
06:43 <@Dolemite> And SF ain't cheap.
06:43 < aestetix> did you get to try raw water?
06:43 <@Dolemite> I drank from the sink to take my medicine.   Does that count?
06:45 <@Dolemite> On Thursday so many people were fed up with the food at the Moscone that the food court in the shopping mall across the street was packed with DockerCon badge wearers.
06:46 <@Dolemite> Food court was too damn fancy.   I don't see how you can call it a food court without a Taco Bell or a Chick-Fil-A.
06:46 < aestetix> yep
06:46 < aestetix> Moscone Center is basically ground zero for pretentious conferences
06:47 < aestetix> all the GDC stuff, Apple conferences, etc happen there
06:53 <@Dolemite> Yeah, I'm hoping they rotate the location, again.   It was in Austin and Seattle the two prior years (this was my first one to attend).
06:53 <@Dolemite> If it's at Moscone every year, meh.   It's also too fucking expensive to send people there.   My hotel was $299/night!
06:56 < aestetix> god I hate dogs
07:15 < aestetix> gotta say
07:16 < aestetix> even though it's an awful situation, it's nice to finally have an issue with real bipartisan support
07:16 < aestetix> https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/17/us/politics/melania-trump-family-separation.html
07:16 < PigBot> Leading Republicans Join Democrats in Pushing Trump to Halt Family Separations - The New York Times (at www.nytimes.com) http://tinyurl.com/ybub5pdk
07:19 < aestetix> So now we can hope that democrats will get their shit together and use this as an issue to get rid of trump in 2020

10:50 <@dasunt> Democrats will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, if given a chance.
10:51 <@dasunt> Also, Trump has an amazing ability to have a new scandal outshadow the previous one in the news cycle.
10:52 <@Mirage_> That's not just Trump, that's anything.  Typical sensationalist media.
10:52 <@Dagmar> Here's to hoping for an auto-erotic asphyxiation scandal, any day now
11:20 <@ezelkow1> lol
11:20 <@ezelkow1> but yea, im not sure how much it matters, democrats never capitalize on crap like this and you know trump will just pound it in to peoples heads that it was their fault anyway
11:20 <@ezelkow1> and repeat it enough and the dumb believe it
11:31 < aestetix> dasunt: no they won't
11:31 < aestetix> dasunt: they will break into a civil war over identity politics
12:48 -!- Mirage_ is now known as Mirage
12:56 <@dasunt> aestetix: Civil wars take work.
12:56 <@dasunt> Also, ezelkow1 is right.  Trump will probably be blaming Democrats for destroying the economy when this boom ends.
12:57 <@dasunt> Hell, the GOP is already putting some of the blame on Democrats for separating immigrant parents and children.  GOP controls the house, senate, and executive branch, yet the Democrats apparently need to work towards a solution.
13:05 <@dasunt> LOL, the president - "I say it's very strongly the Democrat's fault, their obstruction, they're really obstructionist and they're really obstructing".

15:43 <@eryc> how many Union dollars funded the Conferderate period of Restoration
15:44 <@eryc> and did any bluecoats swim in Robert E. Lee's backyard pond
