07:33 <@Dolemite> Wow, this is one hell of a candidate for governor.   I'm sure that Arkansas will still vote broadly for The Trump Whisperer, but still...  https://boingboing.net/2021/06/23/impressive-political-ad-for-newcomer-to-arkansas-governors-race-goes-viral.html

08:06 <@Mirage_> Dolemite: gonna move to AR so you can vote for him?
08:14 <@Dolemite> Heh, nope
08:19 <@_NSAKEY> this guy would probably be a really interesting candidate, but I'm sure kim jong un's crush will win
08:37 <@Dolemite> Yeah, he's going up against a candidate whose only qualification is that she can lie with a straight horseface
09:10 <@Dagmar> Ugh. Amazon's tracking is down

09:37 <@jb7od> So I downloaded vmplayer. My objective was to get running a really old 32bit database solution running on any post-ballmer window and that's it (because it wouldn't). Got past that (yay). But then two weeks later an Oracle rep emails to ask what my "intention are" with the software- and I've never uninstalled anything faster-- I was offended by the question lol. 
09:38 <@jb7od> so virtual box slays. 
09:38 <@jb7od> (didn't answer the email)
09:39 <@Dagmar> Was this at work?
09:39 <@Dagmar> BEcause if not, I'd send him back an email telling him you were planning on getting a little drunk and then fucking it in the ass
10:02 <@jb7od> Strictly speaking, yes it was for work lol, but the actual task itself was heroically out of scope
11:08 <@xray> Dolemite: The Dr. Chris Jones political ad for Governor was amazing.
11:11 <@Dolemite> xray: No shit.   I'd definitely vote for a candidate like him.
12:04 <@_NSAKEY> He'll lose on the grounds that he can't be human trafficked to North Korea

12:51 <@Mirage_> The number of things not clearly documented about using the BLTouch for Z-Axis calibration and Bed Leveling is staggering.  I think I finally got it whipped, though.
13:18 <@Dagmar> Well, damn.   This is nice: https://app.diagrams.net/

13:18 <@Dagmar> eryc: It's a hipsterism.  They didn't know the symbolism behind the original colors or they wouldn't have made the selections they did.
13:19 <@Dagmar> There's a few ways in which that new flag is an insult
13:21 <@aestetix> well yes. it is designed by a person from the group that thinks that the american flag is identical to the nazi flag
13:22 <@Dagmar> Then again, maybe they _do_ want to fade the red lines to demonstrate that yes, we have forgotten an devalue the blood that was spilled getting our freedom from the British
13:22 <@Dagmar> Adding two more starts for DC and PR if they manage statehood I'm fine with
13:22 <@Dagmar> The rest is stupid
13:23 <@Dagmar> s/starts/stars/
13:23 <@Dagmar> Changing a flag to explicitly send the message "We have a corruption problem" is just dumb
13:24 <@Dagmar> The skin-toned starts are also divisive
13:24 <@Dagmar> They're reinforcing that there's a difference, and will jsut promote racism, when the whole idea is that we're supposed to be _one people_
13:24 <@aestetix> yep
13:24 <@Dagmar> ...not a bunch of special interests.
13:27 <@Dagmar> ANd with respect to the state of Freenode, maybe there's nothing to be gained by wrestling with pigs
13:28 <@Dolemite> You both get covered in mud, and the pig enjoys it
13:28 <@Dagmar> Take pictures, screenshots, memorialize the shitshow any way you like, but I wouldn't suggest interacting with that at all
13:28 <@Dagmar> I have seen enough tasteless behaviour from their new opers to know that network is "done for"

14:09 <@Mirage_> Heh, bullshit:  'Breyer said "these features of her speech" diminish the school's interest in punishing her.'
14:15 <@Mirage_> I used to think it was completely asinine that school policies when I grew up allowed for two people who got in a fight after school and off school grounds to be suspended, at the bus stop before getting on in the morning or before being picked up by a parent or going to your home.  On school grounds: yeah, the school bus: yeah, while walking home and off grounds: no, at the school bus stop: no.  
14:17 <@Mirage_> I'm sure shit is way worse now. 
14:19 <@Mirage_> Like..expelled and forced to either do home school or alternative learning because they were in possession of an aspirin/tylenol/etc. 
14:21 <@Mirage_> Of course when I was in school half the guys had pocket knives (and probably a quarter of the girls to be honest) which teachers were known to borrow from time to time to cut/open something.   And there were maybe a dozen pickups in the student parking lot with a shotgun or rifle on a gun rack in the back window....especially around deer/dove seasons.
14:22 <@Evilpig> same here
14:22 <@Evilpig> I carried my knife all through middle and high school
14:24 <@Mirage_> Ditto.  'Tinkerer' Swiss Army knife.  Was always very handy to have...especially if it was cold/raining and the door was locked on a prefab class...those were easy as hell to get into and you could also use the leather punch to set the door unlocked from the inside once you got in.
14:26 <@Mirage_> In AP Chemistry my Jr year the teacher borrowed a cig and lighter from one of the girls in class to use for an experiment.  The "smoke hole" was around the corner outside his class, so he knew who to ask.

15:19 < xtort-> Oh shit, I could do that
15:19 < xtort-> That would be so fun
15:21 < xtort-> I verified with the new contract company I'm working for that I can take unpaid days off.  
15:21 < xtort-> Some places get pissy if you don't have PTO to cover a day off
15:38 <@Dagmar> So... in case you've not seen yet... John McAffee is dead.
15:38 <@Dagmar> ...which means we don't need to worry about him showing up at PN as a surprise guest and things immediately spiralling out of control anymore.
15:38 <@Dagmar> *whew*
15:40 < xtort-> I like chaos
15:41 < xtort-> And he probably has good drugs
15:42 <@Dagmar> He was _making_ experimental drugs in South America, so... there's no telling what kind of weird stuff he might have on him
15:42 <@Dagmar> I only know how to handle emergencies caused by _reliable_ drugs.  Not bath salt derivatives.
15:43 < xtort-> Those were the worst when I worked in a hospital.  The patients took soooo long to unfuck
15:44 <@Dagmar> Yeah my little "potential nightmares" box has a whole section for "John McAffee shows up at PN to party hard"
15:44 < xtort-> Heroin, meth, the other usual suspects, were pretty easy to deal with in comparison 
15:53 <@_NSAKEY> Dagmar: And he wasn't just making experimental drugs, he was butt chugging them too
15:53 < xtort-> How else would you do drugs?
15:53 <@_NSAKEY> I have to admit, thinking about Ben's reaction to a zombified John McAfee showing up and rock starring the hotel has me giggling. It would probably age him 15 years in one weekend.

18:02 <@Mirage_> Um massive China cover-up and downplay of the virus initially and ...duh.  Who would that some drug companies have posted that they fully mapped the DNA of COVID back in late Dec 19 or early Jan 20.
18:02 <@Mirage_> damnit..
18:03 <@Mirage_> That's what I get for going back trying to edit and accidentally hitting enter.
18:04 <@Mirage_> Anyway, you get the gist of it.   China downlayed/denied it...which EVERYONE knows and shouldn't be suprised by in any way.  
18:30 <@jb7od> Oh totally. They'd been being accused of doing exactly that type of shit out there for the years leading up to this so that's why everybody was so slow to move- I remember. Of course, I'm just glad they got caught, but the one thing that'll never happen, is those people who were all right- and died- will never get it made upp to them. 
18:31 <@jb7od> Getting the hindsight as 2020 as we can keep it is the best we can really do. 
18:32 <@jb7od> Somehow it hasn't bummed anybody out bad enough to stop all this thinking they're slick all the time. 
18:33 <@jb7od> Wuhan makes chemical weapons on some Umbrella Corp shit with those bats from Mongolia and some contraband Pangolins was out there before the pandemic was. 
18:35 <@jb7od> They can't own up to fucking with the Pangolin because they're so stupid endangered that it's really fucked up to go all Akira with one. 
18:36 <@jb7od> And the people saying this were called libtards and conspiracy theorists. 
18:38 <@jb7od> Yall, I'm more fucked up about this McAffee thing than I thought I'd be. 
18:41 <@jb7od> What's a Mongolian bat gotta look like anyway? I imagine some bat that looks like an FF boss fight, like prehistorc.
