06:52 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:54 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: $40/hr to answer phones and schedule grooming appointments?   Sounds like dude is doing some work under the table...   or under the desk...  or bent over the chair...
06:55 < Evilpig> Not our country, not our values.  if we wanted to dictate how they are going to run things they we should have taken the place over and not given it back
06:56 < Evilpig> Dolemite: he was supposed to be writing a program to help him schedule stuff better, which was by description a spreadsheet.  he was supposed to be doing the guy's taxes and still hasn't done them over a year later.  
06:56 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: But he can suck a golf ball through a garden hose
06:57 < Evilpig> this guy also reconfigured the network there and moved the two windows 10 systems outside of the firewall onto public IPs so he could remotely access them
06:57 <@Dolemite> FFS
06:57 < Evilpig> oh yeah,  and he got involved there in the first place when he sold the owner two "new" computers to replace his aging ones
06:58 <@Dolemite> Sounds like a major grifter
06:58 < Evilpig> after he did this, I spent probably 4 hours getting all the drivers fixed for shit he didn't load to find out that the front usb ports were dead on the motherboard.
06:58 < Evilpig> HUGE
07:04 <@Dolemite> So I'd sold Iowa State some hours last year with an 18 month expiration on them...  they'd used 4 and I was thinking their last 6 would just expire...
07:04 <@Dolemite> they email me yesterday asking for something that will use them up
07:04 <@Dolemite> Nothing big, but bah...
07:05 <@Dolemite> They want to apply the occupied/used/reserved color codes on network device ports, that way you can easily tell which ports are open
07:05 <@Dolemite> That sounds reasonably useful
07:12 <@Dolemite> Oh, you wanna see Tea Party Karma?   https://covid.knoxcountytn.gov/case-count.html
07:12 < PigBot>  Knox County COVID-19 Case Count - COVID-19 - Health Department - Knox County Tennessee Government  (at covid.knoxcountytn.gov) https://tinyurl.com/yjshg6gc
07:12 <@Dolemite> Look at yesterday's jump
07:13 <@Dolemite> Of course, that's due to them catching up on backlog
07:13 <@Dolemite> Knox County has been trying to play the numbers game to make things look better than they are, too
07:14 <@Dolemite> It caught up to them.  Instead of counting a case back in time to when infection occurred, they decided to count it when the labs confirmed it, thinking that the trend was going down already, when it wasn't...
07:15 < Evilpig> Dolemite: that should be relatively quick to implement from a css standpoint.  when the port is rendered add a tag describing the state, then just add the style to css to color that new class
07:15 < Evilpig> you should spend more time picking colors than anything else
07:15 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Pretty much.   I figure a port with a note and no connection means 'Reserved', while connected means in-use.
07:16 <@Dolemite> I'm going to use the same colors as you already pick in the config for the map display
07:16 <@Dolemite> I really don't want to add yet another color picker in the configuration screen
07:16 <@Dolemite> We'll see how they define it
07:17 < Evilpig> that works too. 
07:17 < Evilpig> looking at your covid stats, you guys have 16 icu beds available.  braggarts.
07:17 <@Dolemite> LOL
07:18 < Evilpig> the hospital my sister is at had a couple of her psych patients have to wait 37 hours yesterday for a bed
07:18 <@Dolemite> Well they are using ICU beds as a last resort.   Apparently you show up to UT Med Center with covid and they pump you full of Remvesidir (Monoclonal Antibodies) and send you home.
07:18 < Evilpig> and that wasn't even the shocking part to me.  she sent me a picture of the folks in the ICU...
07:18 < Evilpig> it shows age and complaint only, so no hipaa violations.
07:19 < Evilpig> 15 y.o.  cardiac arrest
07:19 <@Dolemite> Ugh
07:20 < aestetix> wait what
07:20 < aestetix> how does a 15 year old get cardiac arrest
07:20 <@Dolemite> And then one of the local parents post this on FB...   "I was talking with my son last night - he's a freshman at Farragut High School.  I typically ask things like 'are you seeing more kids wearing masks?' he says there is a slight increase, but nothing noteworthy.  
07:20 <@Dolemite> But he said every passing period he gets comments like 'lose the mask, loser'."
07:20 < Evilpig> Dolemite: check your phone in a sec
07:20 <@Dolemite> yeah I am looking
07:21 <@Dolemite> ugh
07:22 <@Dolemite> aestetix: You know HugMe from 2600, right?
07:22 < aestetix> yes
07:22 < aestetix> what about him?
07:22 <@Dolemite> He had a heart attack around that age and had open heart surgery before he turned 18
07:22 < aestetix> oh wow
07:22 < aestetix> Did he have some kind of condition?
07:22 <@Dolemite> I'm surprised he never showed you his scar
07:22 <@Dolemite> I can't remember exactly what it was
07:22 < aestetix> well I only met him a few times
07:23 < aestetix> at a few phreaknics, I think
07:23 <@Dolemite> Ah, he was my roomie in Atlanta for a year.   I saw way more of him than one human that's not married to him ever should.
07:23 < aestetix> And well you know what happens at phreaknic usually involves alcohol and is forgotten
07:23 < aestetix> So there is a chance he showed it to me :p
07:23 <@Dolemite> I mean, other than him not being one bit bashful, he was a good roommate.   Paid his half of the bills on time and with cash.
07:28 < Evilpig> I don't know what's in the air today but it has my eyes on fire and my hose running like a firehose
07:28 < Evilpig> nose*
07:31 <@Dolemite> ragweed season just started
07:35 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Did you ever play Disney Infinity?
07:36 < Evilpig> nope
07:36 < Evilpig> just skylanders
07:37 <@Dolemite> Ah.   Patrick has over 100 of the little figurines for it...   Disney had abandoned it, but apparently with the Fox aquisition, a game studio under that licensing has picked it back up and a new version comes out in March.   Will finally support newer consoles (it won't play on the XBox One/Series X)
07:37 <@Dolemite> It was a lot like Skylanders (which he has nearly every figurine for, as well), but of course, Disney themed
07:37 < Evilpig> right
07:38 <@Dolemite> So maybe this time next year I'll be playing as Jack Skellington, again
07:38 < Evilpig> I have a shitload of the skylanders myself.  had fun with liam playing it
07:39 <@Dolemite> McKays has a crapload of both Skylanders and Infinity figures for pretty cheap, though with the announcement, they might start charging more for the Infinity ones
07:39 < Evilpig> not ours here.  
07:39 <@Dolemite> Hrmm
07:39 < Evilpig> I've picked up a few there a couple of times but they dont' have many
07:40 <@Dolemite> Well honestly I haven't looked in a couple of years, but they certainly did have them.   Our plan was to trade all of Patrick's in since he can't play it, but now he/we decided to hold on to them.
07:41 < Evilpig> I need to take some time and figure out what's up with this nas.  I'm getting like 10MB/s out of it today and the iowait is through the roof 
07:45 < Evilpig> hrmm. that doesn't look right.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/qbzjq24bsl4m7n9/Screen%20Shot%202021-09-08%20at%207.44.47%20AM.png?dl=0

07:45 <@Dagmar> Seagate firmware bugs, hoo-ooooo!
07:46 < Evilpig> these are all wd reds
07:46 < Evilpig> I think i'll just go ahead and reboot that thing.  see if it will just reset those three
07:48 < Evilpig> well now.  that'd do it

07:52 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Have you been watching Nine Perfect Strangers?
07:52 < Evilpig> nope.  my sister in law asked for it, it doesn't look bad though.  aestetix has me watching this fuckin' 60 days in
07:53 <@Dagmar> It's definitely odd
07:53 <@Dolemite> Yeah, it's really good.   Nearly at the end of the season, though I'm not sure if the story would go beyond one season.
07:54 < Evilpig> those shows "the guest book" and "trial and error" had stories that wouldn't go past a season so they pivoted and told another story in the same theme
08:02 < Evilpig> if we're no longer joined at the hip to VU, why is this still a thing?  "SEP Special Events Protocol: VU Change Freeze: Undergrad exams and reading days"
08:13 <@Dolemite> Our leadership has decided that the entire month of September is a change freeze.  Combine that with the fact that they require us to enter changes for pretty much any work we do...
08:14 <@Dolemite> I don't quite have the cajones to put into my daily work log, "Watched 8 hours of Netflix since I can't do anything."
08:20 < Evilpig> you're doing research
08:20 <@Dolemite> Yep, "Online training courses"
08:38 <@Dolemite> "Computer assisted strategic exercises" - aka Civ VI

10:48 <@Dagmar> Opening schools without a masking policy in place was PHENOMENALLY RETARDED
10:49 <@Dagmar> Evilpig: Remember, the company Ben and I work for is formally in the business of the care and housing of retirees and stuff.  We have to pay attention _daily_ to what's going on
10:49 <@Dagmar> If 20% of the residents die, that's 20% of the bottom line
10:49 < Evilpig> I don't doubt it.
10:50 <@Dagmar> It would also be a great tragedy.  So far we've managed to prevent stuff like that
10:50 < Evilpig> vandy is currently at 80% of employees vaccinated, this is again them preaching to the other 20% and falling on deaf ears.
10:50 <@Dagmar> ...but this business of the plague rats running around acting like it's not happening is making it nightmarishly difficuly
10:50 <@Dagmar> Evilpig: They should up and fire anyone who won't get vaccinated
10:51 < Evilpig> they have til the end of this month
10:51 < Evilpig> and that's not for the first shot,  fully vaccinated
10:51 <@Dagmar> Good, because I'm pretty sure there's somewhere on campus with needles ready to go for the people who actaully want to keep their jobs
10:52 <@Dagmar> I think I'm going to give it another week before I just go ahead and buy a bullhorn and start punishing the stupid
10:52 < Evilpig> occupational health is ready to go
10:52 <@Dagmar> We're blowing right past the previous high points of last winter
10:53 < Evilpig> yeah we are
10:53 <@Dagmar> ...when we DID have mask mandates in place, despite people ignoring them
10:53 <@Dagmar> People are now being sent home to die there
10:53 <@Dagmar> AS WAS FORETOLD
10:53 <@Dagmar> REPEATEDLY
10:53 < Evilpig> but we're leveling off now since we're out of hospital space and those infected are just gonna have to deal
10:53 <@Dagmar> That's not leveling off
10:53 <@Dagmar> That's "there's no more beds so of course the number of new admissions will be nearly zero"
10:54 <@Dagmar> You can't have a 20% increase in admissions when there's only 6% space remaining across the entire state
10:54 <@Dagmar> It's literally impossible
10:54 < Evilpig> possible vaccine for 6mo - 11yr in december
10:54 <@Dagmar> ...and they're apparently not allowed to just stack them in hallways like cord wood
10:57 <@Dagmar> What we need now is viciously sarcastic merchandise
10:57 <@Dagmar> Stuff that thanks stupid people for exiting the gene pool so readily
10:58 <@Dagmar> Stuff that celebrates the death of the stupid
10:58 <@Dagmar> Stuff that celebrates the fact that COVID-19 was designed to effectively target political conservatives 6x more than anyone with a working brain
10:59 < Evilpig> I've been thinking about getting out photoshop and making a chart of which crystals pair with which vaccine best and see if that can't get to spreading
10:59 < Evilpig> my aunt is 100% in camp coo-coo and that crystals are all you need to cure everything
10:59 <@Dagmar> That's actually a good idea
11:00 <@Dagmar> I don't care that crystals are still the wrong answer
11:00 <@Dagmar> It's LESS of a wrong answer than "TEHY CAN'T MAKE ME TAKE A DANGEROUS VACCINE"
11:02 <@Dagmar> If I can get Audra to stop messing about and touch up the background of the thing, I'll have a great flyer for "KEEP THE PARTY STRONG" with a bunch of idiot-baiting instructions on it
11:08 <@Dagmar> Folks can clutch as many crystals as htey want as long as they get the shot and wear a fucking mask
11:09 <@Dagmar> I'm serious about htat pairing guide
11:09 <@Dagmar> If you don't do it I will solicit some of my FB people to help make one
11:12 < Evilpig> I don't have the time to make it look legit and then get it into the right circles to try and gain traction.  put the idea out there and see what comes of it
11:12 <@Dagmar> No problem
11:12 < Evilpig> I also thought about making a facemask that has pockets in it so you can put crystals or copper strips or something else random to neutralize dangerous particles before they reach your face
11:13 <@Dagmar> Also not a bad idea
11:13 < Evilpig> figure out a way to spin that into it blocks emf from 5g and you've got a conspiracy winner
11:17 <@Dagmar> I have now solicited advice and verbiage from my FB peoples
11:18 <@Dagmar> I will make that shit happen
11:18 <@Dagmar> Crystal fiends may be crazy but they don't generally *annoy me* so they're a good experimental group to see if convincing people to do the right thing for the wrong reasons might work
11:19 < Evilpig> this is the all hands meeting htat never ends
11:19 <@Dagmar> Time to test whether or not they can tell who specifically said something
11:20 < Evilpig> it's locked down to just the presenters
11:20 <@Dagmar> Oh shucks
11:20 <@Dagmar> Who might have remote access to their computers
11:20 <@Dagmar> ...or computers that might be within earshot of theirs

11:20 <@Dagmar> I am in full on Bad Idea Fairy mode today
11:21 < Evilpig> with his position, he should have a better headset for meetings like this
11:58 < Evilpig> from the head of vandy it.  "we will be continuing to work from home for the forseeable future."
11:58 <@Dagmar> Good
11:59 < Evilpig> he went on to say that there has been no loss in productivity and no reason to return to 3401
11:59 <@Dagmar> hehe
11:59 < Evilpig> I only miss our weekly team lunches.
11:59 <@Dagmar> The iDEV guys will just have to wander aimlessly up and down the halls of their own home
12:00 <@Dagmar> Thsoe guys can definitely go fuck themselves because it was one of them that recognized me working at Domino's one day and then took it upon himself to _lie_ to try to get me fired
12:00 <@Dagmar> Incompetent asshats
12:01 < Evilpig> people need to mind their own business
12:01 <@Dagmar> I barely fucking blink if what I'm doign ties directly to money, so my boss knew damn well that I didn't slack
12:02 <@Dagmar> They were trying to say I ignored the drive up and was "playing with my phone" for "several minutes"
12:02 <@Dolemite> WTF!?
12:02 <@Dagmar> The rope dinged, I turned to tell my boss in teh back we had someone, and then continued putting in teh address of my next delivery into my phone
12:02 <@Dagmar> 45 seconds later I was out the fuckin door
12:03 <@Dolemite> 45 seconds seems like several minutes to Java devs
12:03 <@Dagmar> It's not without reason I was making 85% of what I was making at Vanderbilt
12:03 <@Dagmar> (Also vanderbilts pay was shit)
12:03 <@Dolemite> That it was and probably still is
12:04 <@Dagmar> Well, it was especially shit in my case because they'd decided someone without a degree has to be making less than every new hire
12:04 < Evilpig> it's improved
12:04 <@Dagmar> I doubt that
12:04 < Evilpig> I've seen my check stub.  it's improved
12:04 <@Dolemite> I hope you're at least making 6 figures
12:04 < Evilpig> yes
12:04 <@Dagmar> Maybe someone realized they needed to pay people who knwo what they were doing
12:05 <@Dolemite> NOT including the decimal point
12:05 <@Dagmar> When I *left* I wasn't even making $75k
12:05 <@Dagmar> They just kept on playing fucking games about it the entire time
12:05 <@Dagmar> I was supposed to get a bump up to a reasonable pay 3 months after I transfered to EAI, and THAT didn't happen
12:06 <@Dagmar> When I asked Kyle about it, he very cagily asked if I had that in writing (which I did)
12:06 <@Dagmar> Dude should never play poker
12:06 < Evilpig> for my job classification currently:  Pay Range (min / mid / max): $7,559.07 / $10,624.47 / $13,689.87
12:06 < Evilpig> that's monthly
12:07 <@Dagmar> Yeah clearly someone there got the hint that fucking people over every year wasn't working
12:07 < Evilpig> min: 90,708.84  max: 164,278.08
12:07 <@Dagmar> The sole reason I hadn't already quit was that the users kept creating interesting problems
12:07 < Evilpig> they're still fucking us over yearly.  we just had that discussion on that meeting hta twould't end
12:07 < Evilpig> 2% across the board, no merit based raises
12:07 <@Dagmar> Idocy
12:07 <@Dagmar> Complete idiocy
12:08 < Evilpig> I've got two projects coming up this year that are good resume padding
12:08 < Evilpig> openshift and ceph
12:08 <@Dagmar> Nice
12:10 <@Dagmar> Seriously they shouldn't have even considered asking someone they weren't willing to pay $70k to manage hundreds of VMs
12:11 <@Dagmar> I know what the other people in teh department were making
12:11  * Dolemite smears some k8s all over Evilpig
12:29 <@_NSAKEY> Dagmar: I kind of wish I had that shirt we talked about friday. Rutherford County's doing an emergency board meeting, and after that gang of Karens laughed at that kid as soon as he started talking about his dead grandmother, I think that shirt would fit the level of decorum at those meetings.
12:29 <@_NSAKEY> Those people need to know that people will masturbate to their r/HermanCainAward posts
12:34 <@Dolemite> These people who want to opt-out of the vaccine due to religious objections should also be opted out from Remdesivir for the same reason.
12:35 <@_NSAKEY> I just want them to all overdose on their horse paste so they can fuck off and die and let the rest of us get back to normal sooner
12:35 <@Dolemite> Since the main religious objection is that stem cells were used in early testing (though not prodcution) of the mRNA vaccines
12:35 <@Dolemite> Well, Remdesivir is made from actual stem cells
12:35 <@Dolemite> So double object!
12:35 <@Dolemite> and die, fucking plague rat

12:43 <@Dagmar> Color printing on black is marginally a PITA
12:43 <@_NSAKEY> I just sent it to you
12:44 <@_NSAKEY> Which one does better print quality? I don't want something that has a print which turns to dust after the first wash
12:44 <@Dagmar> I have no idea
12:44 <@Dagmar> It's generally challenging to figure that sort of thing out on the best of days
12:45 <@Dagmar> Typically inkjet printing for t-shirts involves a transparent transfer media
12:45 <@Dagmar> HTV is just about too flimsy to feed through a printer, and there's adhesive involved which basically has to be the side exposed before printing
12:46 <@Dagmar> ...and multicolor printing with HTV is for masochists
