01:40 <@aestetix> are people in the US still concerned with COVID?
01:41 <@aestetix> since there is another wave coming through. it's hitting israel, russia, and portugal pretty hard
01:49 <@jb7od> not that you can tell from traffic or the gas station. 
01:49 <@aestetix> israel was the gold standard for a good vaccine rollout in europe
01:50 <@aestetix> but now they have re-instated masks, and are considering closing their borders again
01:50 <@jb7od> how come the hit then?
01:50 <@aestetix> because of delta
01:50 <@jb7od> new variant or something?
01:50 <@aestetix> yes, the delta and delta plus variant
01:52 <@jb7od> I have not been paying attention, just trying to be as safe as I can, that's pretty horrible sounding though- any effacacy coming down the pipeline for folks to go get more shots? 
01:52 <@aestetix> looks like berlin is putting in some new controls too
01:52 <@aestetix> so basically
01:53 <@aestetix> for obvious reasons (corruption and other things), in india, the vaccine rollout was a mess
01:53 <@aestetix> as a result, this new delta variant came along there
01:53 <@jb7od> I just wanted that shot to get a little more vetted (I've got reasons for concern), but I didn't expect all that. Geez, wuhan, wtfx0r? 
01:53 <@aestetix> and there is a lot of traffic between india and the UK
01:53 <@aestetix> so then this new variant wound up in the UK
01:53 <@jb7od> facepalm
01:53 <@aestetix> the UK has mostly been rolling out Astrazeneca, which is not very effective against delta, so the UK is now having lots of outbreaks
01:54 <@aestetix> meanwhile, portugal is having similar issues. and a lot of germans like to vacation in portugal in the summer because of the weather
01:54 <@aestetix> so now germany is facing a new wave of covid
01:54 <@jb7od> Well, once again, the Great American Experiment pits ignorance vs. xenophobia with survival in the balance. 
01:55 <@aestetix> so yeah not sure what things are like in the US, but in europe, it might be dangerous again
01:56 <@jb7od> news has gotten a lot less alarmist, but I'm not sure if the media around me isn't so wide-spectrum that a second uncontrollable variant might not be registering. 
02:00 <@jb7od> that's horrifying shit though- it has not made it down the chain from the office, some of whom are on some OEM alert stuff, so it hasn't raised alarm from that vector (which has been one of the more pessimistic and paranoid so far)
02:00 <@jb7od> that's concerning. 
02:16 <@jb7od> xtort-, I left out Australia. That's one of the bigger countries that answers that desription. I was into korean mmos run on custom unreal4 at a point.. 
02:17 <@jb7od> (and it always ends in heartbreak- no matter how good a game is doing, how much they're making, or what)

08:57 <@Dolemite> Sending stories to friends is the most important right of all!
09:33 <@Mirage_> hehe, new india resource got onboarded by a customer and they sent me the credentials to pass on to him...they jacked up his username based on the norm for them of first initial+first 6 of last name+decimal number if multiples.
09:34 <@Mirage_> Instead of 'hsujana' they set it to 'shitesh', which I find amusing..

09:43 <@Dagmar> Also it has _way_ more hair than is realistics
09:43 <@Dagmar> er realistic
09:57 <@Evilpig> lol Mirage_ 
10:22 <@aestetix> eryc: fuck you for that link
10:22 <@aestetix> god that was disturbing
10:23 <@eryc> <3
10:23 <@Dolemite> was?   still is upon review.
10:25 <@aestetix> Dolemite: when is your statue gonna be installed?
10:25 <@aestetix> I guess after you finish out your 2024 term
10:26 <@Dolemite> aestetix: Probably never, because I will only pose for one/authorize one if it's of me giving the middle finger, and that goes against Disney morality police
10:44 <@Dagmar> I find it hilarious that Disney is now reaping the benefits of their past overly-aggressive trademark protections.
10:44 <@Dagmar> Multiple online shops giving them bad press because they're proactively cancelling anything remotely resembling "Loki" merchandise
10:45 <@Dagmar> Disney acting like "That's not us doing it!" when they damn well know they have done this in the past, over and over again.
10:45 <@Dagmar> This is the environment you created, bishes.  Suck it up, puffalumps.
10:46 <@Dagmar> koollman: I like it when occasionally some senator suggests they use large magnets to try to round up the debris that's up there
11:18 <@jb7od> I hate cold calls. 
11:19 <@jb7od> The frontdesk puts through any clown who asks. 
11:39 <@aestetix> ok so question for you all
11:39 <@aestetix> has anyone gone through the google it support certification?
11:42 <@eryc> https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/mcs/media/images/70363000/png/_70363798_naked.png
11:42 <@PigBot> None (at ichef.bbci.co.uk) 
11:50 <@jb7od> Gross. I didn't know that was a thing. 
11:51 <@jb7od> (not McAffee, I knew about that, talmbout the Google+.. oh no wait, that's something else... lol)
11:52 <@aestetix> https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support#courses was asking about this

11:57 <@jb7od> right on- I've got an A+ and Net+. Unexpectedly, my bosses were impressed I passed both first go. Apparently I shared a bench with some guys who needed as many as 4 retakes. Not sure if it's gotten better, but the linux+ was pretty RHEL-centric at the time. 
12:09 <@Dagmar> That's kinda sad
12:13 <@aestetix> I guess I would fail the linux+ then because I don't know redhat at all
12:42 <@Dagmar> ature to get a quicker startup with -A

20:51 <@Mirage_> some of these newer games off steam REALLY don't want you to stop playing.  Exit -> Are you sure? -> Yes -> Exit -> Are you sure? -> Yes! -> Quit to Desktop -> Are you sure? -> YES!!!!   Fuck!
21:27 <@Dagmar> So.. the stepson just set a new record for failing
21:31 <@Evilpig> bought weed from a uniformed officer?
21:32 <@Dagmar> Better 
21:32 <@Dagmar> He locked his keys in the car, and decided to not call a locksmith
21:32 <@Dagmar> He decided to try and use a slim jim.
21:32 <@Dagmar> This did not work.
21:33 <@Evilpig> at a minimum we have scratched paint
21:33 <@Dagmar> They did eventually manage to figure out how to get the windows down.
21:33 <@Evilpig> worst case here broken glass?
21:33 <@Dagmar> ...but what they accomplished with the slim jim was to apparently pull the electical wires out of the door locks.
21:33 <@Dagmar> So, now neither of his doors unlocks.
21:33 <@Evilpig> lol
21:33 <@Evilpig> time to learn how to take the panels off and fix what they fucked up
21:34 <@Dagmar> I think it's time to just take the car to a responsible adult
21:34 <@Dagmar> It's a safe bet he just pulled hte wires loose so he's only looking at labor charge and some embarrassment
21:34 <@Evilpig> he'd learn more making him take the interior panel off and fix it himself
21:35 <@Evilpig> there isn't that much in a door
21:35 <@Evilpig> unless it's got airbags in which case, set up a camera we might get a second show
21:35 <@Dagmar> RIght so, this is the same person who managed to pull the wires loose using a slim jim
21:35 <@Dagmar> He is not the person who should be figuring out how to pull the door panels off
21:36 <@Evilpig> having never used one or knowing what's in the door he probably thought you just jam it down in there til you find something to snag it on and bingo bongo, the door opens
21:36 <@Dagmar> There's electricity involved and that means there's a possibility, however slim, that he could create an electrical fire
21:37 <@Evilpig> I had a good laugh at my neighbors back at the first part of june when she locked her keys in the car then there were at least 4 dudes out there for the better part of 6 hours trying to get in through the weather stripping with coat hangers and everything else trying to get in.  I nearly called a locksmith just to end the nonsense when they finally got in
22:03 <@jb7od> (optimus facepalm for mbam detecting Gimp and GVim for win >_< )
22:03 <@jb7od> Call the mayor- the city sleeps tonight.
