05:07 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
05:24  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
05:29 < aestetix> I am starting to think millennials are the most intolerant generation I've ever seen
05:29 < aestetix> under the guise of being tolerant
07:29 <@Mirage_> Idiot customers are now asking our india team to increase ulimits for that proxy app because apparently they think that being able to open more failing connections to non-existent targets will somehow make it work again.
07:29 <@Dolemite> One has to wonder how such shitty devs/admins can maintain such a job
07:30 <@Mirage_> Currently limits is 65k
07:30 <@Dolemite> It just boggles the mind
07:30 <@Mirage_> I don't recall if I mentioned yesterday that they asked to have TCP timeouts increased as well
07:31 <@Dolemite> I'm still of that mentality that smaller is better.   Efficiency is better than throwing more hardware at it.
07:31 <@Dolemite> Unless they are writing kernel level drivers for networking, they're fucking out of their mind
07:33 <@Mirage_> Yeah, because everything they want us to do to 'fix' the problem is completely counter to what needs to be done.  increasing limits and/or timeouts will just exacerbate the problem...unless the goal is to create a bottleneck

09:49 < PigBot> Passenger dies of COVID-19 amid outbreak on Carnival cruise ship (at www.cnbc.com) https://tinyurl.com/yf8fzu39
09:50 <@Dolemite> Yeah, she didn't have travel insurance and was stuck in a Belize hospital for a while until they could raise money to get her back to Oklahoma
09:50 <@Dolemite> I'd heard about that last week
09:50 <@Mirage_> Dolemite: have you seen anythign on what capacity they're running cruises at?  1 death and 27 cases has to be a pretty insignificant amount if they're loading them up like normal
09:51 <@Dolemite> Carnival has been loading them up at 75-80% capacity, which I think is foolish at this point
09:51 <@Dolemite> NCL and Royal are starting around 30-40% capacity
09:51 <@Dolemite> Royal has stated that for the larger ships, they can break even on costs at 35%
09:52 <@Dolemite> So they've prioritized getting the big boys out to sea first, with their oldest/smallest ones not coming online until 2022
09:52 <@Dolemite> Our Christmas cruise was booked on a smaller Radiance class ship, so it got cancelled
09:53 <@Dolemite> We have one for Fall Break on a mid-sized ship that so far is sailing at 35% capacity.   Royal has been pretty transparent about their plans and will announce as they increase capacity.
09:53 <@Dolemite> But I want all of them to succeed.   I bought stock in all three during the dip at the beginning of the pandemic.
09:54 <@Dolemite> Royal is the only one that has rebounded most of that value.   CCL and NCLH are still hovering down at the bottom because they had to borrow so much money to stay alive.   Royal was sitting on a giant wad of cash and still had to borrow, but nowhere near as much.
10:00 <@Mirage_> I don't get why Moderna and Janssen haven't even applied for full FDA approval yet.  Moderna is supposedly in the process of submitting theirs and requesting an expedited approval process.   Janssen doesn't plan on applying for full approval until "later this year"
10:00 <@Dolemite> You have to continue conducting the trial, which costs money, because full approval requires more trial data.
10:01 <@Dolemite> That's why Moderna lags behind Pfizer - they started their trials later
10:01 <@Mirage_> I'd have thought Janssen, having used the more traditional methodology for theirs, would have been much more simple vs the mRNA ones
10:02 <@Dolemite> They may be looking at the potential sales and realizing that the vast majority wants one of the mRNA vaccines and said, "fuck it"
10:02 <@Dolemite> They had so many problems with production and distribution, too, that it just might not be worth it in the long term for them
10:05 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: My daughter's middle school has a STEM class that has some farm animals, including a pig named Wilbur.
10:09 < aestetix> not Napoleon?
10:32 <@Dolemite> Ugh, seriously?   Just got emails about two new positions here at the lab - one Sr. Sharepoint Developer and one Sharepoint Developer.   WTF in this day and age are we still hiring folks for that?   It's so freakin' monolithic and cumbersome.
11:38 < Evilpig> Dolemite: when I was in middle school we called that Ag Class
11:39 <@Dolemite> yeah, same here, but apparently it's more than just agriculture.   More like "Applied Sciences"
11:43 < Evilpig> you see we had another school closed in the nashville area due to attendance?
11:43 <@Dolemite> Nope, too busy staring at the East TN Dumpster Fire

11:44 <@Dolemite> The school we moved M to has their numbers published (the whole county does)...   while Knox County simply set up a dashboard showing aggregate numbers for the whole district.
11:45 <@Dolemite> So every parent of Knox County students is like, "WTF!?  You have to show by school to have any meaning!"
11:45 < Evilpig> but if they did that it could show where problems are happening and there would be problems
11:46 <@Dolemite> Sevier County now has 370 students out on quarantine.   That's a huge chunk for a small population.
11:46 <@Dolemite> M is having a real rough time with the move but looking at the differences in both numbers and procedures, we're positive we did the right thing in moving her
11:47 < Evilpig> I love how each of these articles about school closures have this phrase  "New state guidelines for the 2020-2021 school year prohibit school districts to operate remote learning due to the COVID-19 outbreak."
11:47 <@Dolemite> yep, drive that point home
11:47 <@Dolemite> If only a recall of Governor HVAC was possible
11:47 < Evilpig> These jackasses that pushed for in person classes are now seeing that instead of shifting gears their little preciouses are just gonna fail for the year due to not being in school enough
11:47 <@Dolemite> well, technically it's possible...  so I mean feasible
11:48 <@Dolemite> I know this - those fuckers try to take away my vacation over Fall Break and I'll go drop a deuce on Bill Lee's front porch
11:49 < Evilpig> the emails and stuff we get from metro they've said if you get sent home over quarantine you have to log into the electronic portal like last year and if you don't you get an unexcused absense.  so for this district they are somewhat ignoring the governor for now
11:49 <@Dolemite> I just wish he'd listened to Phil Valentine more
11:49 <@Dolemite> Then maybe he'd no longer be a problem

12:01 < Evilpig> at what point will these morons figure out that masks are not optional political party flags?
12:03 <@_NSAKEY> When enough of them die to no longer be relevant
12:03 < Evilpig> I'm about ready to call in a noise complaint to metro over this asshat at the end of the lane that just got him a new mustang gt
12:03 <@_NSAKEY> Until then, we're stuck with diet desantis 
12:03 <@_NSAKEY> we're probably stuck with him anyway

13:45 < PigBot> 10 things we know about the secret X-37B space plane | Live Science (at www.livescience.com) 
13:45 <@Mirage_> #1: Apparently it's not really THAT secret.
13:46 <@Dolemite> exactly
13:47 <@Dolemite> Mirage_: Oh, that lady that died after being on a cruise...   basically the timing of when she got sick proves that she was already in the incubation period before she got on board.   That's why Carnival is now requiring people to be tested even if they are vaccinated (other cruise lines were already doing that).
13:48 <@Dolemite> She apparently started having symptoms and reported to medical the day after they left from Galveston
13:54 <@Mirage_> My point in posting that was that they neglected to state how many passengers there were for the time period vs the 1 who died and 27 others that tested positive while underway.  Not nearly as sensationalistic to report that .05% of passengers came up positive and .0001% died (just guessing on %'s of course, but I'm sure they would be pretty low)
13:54 <@Dolemite> Yep
13:55 <@Dolemite> Media loves to click bait

14:05 <@Mirage_> Really glad they felt the need to point out that people w/ broken immune systems don't create antibodies very well.   Next up:  Men don't respond well to female fertility drugs
14:16 < Evilpig> Mirage_: are you sure about that?  I've been seeing a bunch of kids that say they are girls now after taking those female hormones and they seem to think they work good
14:23 <@Mirage_> Fertility drugs?
14:24 < Evilpig> all fertility drugs are just hormones, right?
14:24 <@Mirage_> And taking them increases their fertility?
14:31 < Evilpig> I didn't say it increased their fertility.  I said they seem to think they work good.  girls start growing facial hair, boys start growing boobs, etc
14:42 <@Dolemite> They're called, moobs, thank you very much
14:55 < Evilpig> for me and you they're moobs.  
14:55 < Evilpig> guess I need to take these dogs out
