06:14 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:14  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:17 <@Dolemite> So I watched the first episode of the Snowpiercer TV show...   based on the movie, which I've never seen
06:17 <@Dolemite> I still don't get exactly why the last remnants of humanity are on a giant train
06:18 <@Dolemite> I get that they fucked up trying to engineer a reversal of global warming and turned the Earth into a snowball
06:18 <@Dolemite> But train tracks ice over
06:19 <@Dolemite> On another note, the pilot episode for the new Stargirl series was good

07:02 <@Evilpig> Dolemite: I definitely enjoyed the stargirl pilot too
07:07 <@Dolemite> And now I'm doing a rewatch of Firefly, but thanks to Evilpig, this time in 1080p
07:20 <@Evilpig> some things are definitely nicer in hd
07:27 <@Dolemite> Yeah, I had it in SD and it was just all grainy watching on my big screen
07:34 <@opticron> I'm super hesitant to start any new DC TV series
07:35 <@Dolemite> opticron: Why is that?
07:37 <@opticron> they keep fucking around, the writing quality wanders from ok to garbage depending on show and season, the crossover events are annoying as fuck, and they're releasing same-named heroes in movies and TV shows played by different actors
07:39 <@Dolemite> Fair enough.    It's not everybody's cup of tea.   I'm still pissed about them canceling Swamp Thing before the second episode had even aired.
07:40 <@opticron> yeah, I enjoyed swamp thing and doom patrol
07:40 <@Dolemite> Doom Patrol was just a bit too chaotic for me.    Titans was enjoyable, though.
07:40 <@opticron> I've been watching arrow/supergirl/flash/legends, but they're wearing me out
07:40 <@opticron> yeah, I'll give you chaotic on that one
07:41 <@Dolemite> Arrow did get a bit long in the tooth, and I'm glad they finally ended it.
07:41 <@opticron> the only thing I didn't really like about titans was greasy bruce
07:41 <@Dolemite> Supergirl and The Flash - I'm tired of every season being some invincible big bad that takes the whole season to defeat
07:41 <@Dolemite> But I love Legends of Tomorrow, although I hate that they let Brandon Routh go.

07:48 <@opticron> yeah, they really neutered the in-universe tech side of things with him going and zari getting converted into an influencer/hacker savant
07:50 <@Evilpig> arrow,supergirl,flash,legends,supergirl,batgirl were all perverted to fit the CW drama format
07:54 <@Dolemite> Flash was great the first few seasons
07:55 <@Dolemite> I only watched the Crisis episodes of Batgirl...   but that's a whole other issue.    I felt Crisis was TOO much.
08:00 <@opticron> another thing that threw me for a loop was ras al gul being played by two different people within the arrowverse
08:07 <@Mirage> Yeah, I was looking forward to Stargirl.  It was amusing
08:09 <@Mirage> Batgirl i'm kinda flat on.. it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either
08:18 <@Dolemite> I just finished up a rewatch of the entire run of Star Trek: Enterprise.   I had forgotten how they had pulled a 2020 on Tucker in the end.   Absolutely HATED the last 3 episodes.
08:19 <@Mirage> I watched it off and on, but was never into it as much as Next Gen or Voyager
08:25 <@Dolemite> I watched TNG, but other than it being the first new Trek TV in decades, I never really got that into it
08:25 <@Dolemite> And while I feel Patrick Stewart is a better actor, Kirk was by far the better captain
08:26 -!- rpifan_ is now known as rpifan
09:19 < K`Tetch> british captains all the way
09:42 <@Mirage> In regard to that I thought the whole british captain thing on Avenue 5 was hilarious
09:42 <@Mirage> If you haven't watched it, you should
09:43 < K`Tetch> oh i have
09:43 < K`Tetch> hugh aurie going back to his roots
09:46 <@Corydon76_> Dolemite: the more apt comparison between the roles would be Kirk to Riker.  In TOS, the captain leads the away missions.  In TNG, the First Officer protects the Captain.
09:46 <@Dolemite> And I hated Riker
09:46 < K`Tetch> in that way, captain mercer is moe like captain kirk
09:47 <@Corydon76_> Can't say either one is really realistic.  Like any away mission would really risk the bridge crew on a potentially dangerous mission in which they could all be red-shirted away.
09:48 <@Dolemite> I don't watch Star Trek for realism
09:48 < K`Tetch> well, you have Gibbs, and sometimes vance going out on arrests and raids...
09:49 <@Corydon76_> I could see a lead agent like Gibbs on a raid.  I can't see a director being risked in that way.
09:50 < K`Tetch> and gibbs is sometimes made acting director, he's HIGH up
09:50 < K`Tetch> even if he is only used to solve imple murders in the Dc area
09:50 <@Corydon76_> At least not leading the way into a breach.  A director might be there after the area is secured, though
09:51 < K`Tetch> i've been reawtchingwih my youngest, on S10, and 4 weeks after vances wife is killed, he comes back to work a case, acting like a field agent under gibbs
09:51 <@Corydon76_> But then, that's TV drama for you.  Until 24, roles were stretched.  A real agent investigating petty crime would never have access to a SCIF.
09:52 < K`Tetch> they certainly wouldn't let them use it for a christmas movie marathon
09:53 < K`Tetch> s'why JAG was far superior
09:53 <@Corydon76_> Not to mention a single, super competent lab tech...
09:53 < K`Tetch> (and not because , as my wife likes to claim, have a 'thing' for 'hunky rab')
09:53 <@Corydon76_> Abby would have gotten lured away years prior by a private company paying big bucks.
09:54 <@Corydon76_> Yeah, well, JAG also focused a lot more on the courtroom and the legal aspect.  It's one of the things I liked about it.
09:55 < K`Tetch> i just watched the one where they captured Lester from the buymore, who was using it as a front as a hacker and hacked MTAC. so they tortured him to give up his contact IP address. I had to hout 'turn the TV off' when they got the IP address of the hacking note.
09:55 <@Corydon76_> "How to defend this guy who on the surface looks indefensible" is an awesome premise.
09:55 < K`Tetch> because it was 192.168.0.16 - the IP adderss of my TV!
09:56 < K`Tetch> i don't want 'two actors, one keyboard' screwing up my new 60-inch!
10:11 <@aestetix> Corydon76_: sounds about right. Access to a SCIF is *very* restricted
10:13 <@Corydon76_> aestetix: depends upon the information in the SCIF...
10:16 <@Corydon76_> I mean, for goodness sakes, they let *politicians* in some of those SCIFs.
10:16 <@aestetix> that is an excellent point
10:16 <@aestetix> I guess every security system has a weakness
10:22 <@aestetix> youtube is awful
10:22 <@aestetix> I was watching this youtuber..... and thought "she looks pretty young"
10:23 <@aestetix> she was born after I graduated from high school
10:24 <@Corydon76_> So she's like, 30 now?
10:24 <@aestetix> haha
10:26 <@Corydon76_> Welcome to being an old fart.  This is a common occurrence.
10:27 <@Corydon76_> Wait until you're playing chess and getting beaten by someone who was born after you turned 30.

12:43 <@Evilpig> company announcement current WFH conditions will continue through at least labor day
12:43 <@Evilpig> they will re-evaluate closer to that date
12:57 <@Corydon76_> Dagmar: it's so weird that Faulkner and Green are so concentrated on Arbery's alleged crime that they can't see the crime right in front of their faces.  And that completely flips the script.
12:59 <@Corydon76_> Pretty sure I know why:  they can put themselves in the shoes of the McMichaels and don't understand that if you detain someone as a civilian, and you're wrong, that's a felony.
13:09 -!- Irssi: #se2600: Total of 30 nicks [20 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 10 normal]
15:17 <@Evilpig> haha.  there's my happy place for the day.  storage guys sent us an email saying that some server had failed backups for the last few days and that it was decommissioned in our cmdb back on the 11th and if we'd be so kind to send him a ticket for tracking he'd take care of it getting removed from the backup system
15:18 <@Evilpig> so I emailed him back with a link to the ticket that he had completed on the 11th removing said system from the backup services.
15:19 <@Evilpig> then I messaged his boss laughing about how much work his minions have to make for him and cited that email and referenced that we automated sending them tickets when we remove servers from the environment more than 6 months ago
17:35 <@Dagmar> Corydon76_: I stopped giving a shit the moment the claim was made that it wasn't murder because Arbery didn't have his hands in the air in surrender
17:51 <@Shadow404> so im stuck in memphis over the weekend if anyone is in town or has any fun ideas that i can venture out to in this covid doomed world
17:51 <@Shadow404> and dont say graceland, no interest
20:10 <@Corydon76_> Dagmar: and why do I think that if it had turned out differently; if Arbery had effectively defended himself, they'd be calling for his conviction?

21:20 < K`Tetch> BECAUSE SELF DEFENSE IS ONY FOR INBRED ASSHOLES
21:20 < K`Tetch> ack
21:20 < K`Tetch> sorry
