06:26 < aestetix> you know
06:26 < aestetix> I was thinking about our group chat about Virgil and wikipedia 
06:26 < aestetix> I wonder how many wikipedia pages have totally inaccurate information because people don't want to trigger an editor war
07:58 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
08:02  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
08:16 <@Mirage_> aestetix: quite a few i'm sure

08:20 <@Dolemite> Maybe they just need to crater all of Silicon Valley at this point, for the good of the planet
08:22 < aestetix> Mirage_: yeah. And no offense to Virgil, he's not really a high priority target for a flamewar
08:22 < aestetix> Now that GA congresswoman on the other hand..... I could see her wikipedia page being a nightmare
08:26 <@Mirage_> The late night guys really had a field day on the Trump colonoscopy and other revelations from the latest book.  
08:26 < aestetix> ugh
08:27 <@Mirage_> Maybe the cheeto will get triggered so hard he blows an embelism
08:27 <@Mirage_> Doubt it, but you can always hope
08:27 <@Dolemite> Well if he had a colonoscopy he was definitely blowing plenty out of his ass
08:27 <@Dolemite> I have mine coming up soon
08:28 <@Dolemite> Not looking forward to all that toilet time in the prep
08:28 < aestetix> Dolemite: have you had one before?
08:29 <@Dolemite> Nope, this will be my first
08:29 < aestetix> I know someone who got colon cancer at like 45
08:29 <@Dolemite> I did the cologuard, but it came back positive...  and it has a 12% false positive rate, so basically I have to get the real deal, now
08:29 < aestetix> And now he has to have a colonoscopy every year
08:29 < aestetix> (it is in remissiion)

08:46 < aestetix> oh I thought that was gonna be a video of trump's colonoscopy
09:16 <@Dolemite> Ugh.   They just called me back - mine is scheduled for November 1.   That means on Halloween I can't eat anything.   I guess I'll just be extra scary for any kids that show up at my door.
09:16 <@Dolemite> Actually, I'll be blowing shit out of my ass about the time kids would be coming to the door, so maybe I should set up an outhouse on the front lawn to use.
09:16 <@Dolemite> They'll just hear moans and farts as they walk past
09:27 < brimstone> put a flicker bulb in the outhouse, make it spooky
09:27 < brimstone> then it'll be spooky and poopy

10:04 <@Dolemite> Damn.   One of the Linux dudes over in Client Services sent out a manifesto ranting against the vaccine mandate.   Apparently he will no longer be with us once the deadline hits.
10:04 <@Dolemite> At least, that's the impression from the manifesto
10:05 < Evilpig> his position will be filled.
10:05 <@Dolemite> We need more linux folks already
10:05 < Evilpig> I've got my appointment set for my booster. :-/  
10:05 <@Dolemite> I thought you did Moderna?
10:05 < Evilpig> we were and are a pfizer site
10:06 <@Dolemite> Ah.   I got the Moderna, but even so, I'm not 6 months out, yet.
10:06 < Evilpig> another of my coworkers is postive for the rona today too.  he got vaccinated back when I did
10:06 <@Dolemite> If they approve it, I'll be getting my booster likely in early December
10:06 < Evilpig> the email I got from occupational health said that records show my second was more than 6 months ago, yada yada
10:07 <@Dolemite> Well my six month would be in mid November
10:07 <@Dolemite> Actually, no.  End of October.
10:07 < Evilpig> I had my second the end of january so i'm well past the mark
10:07 <@Dolemite> yeah, I'd say so
10:08 <@Dolemite> My first shot was in March, then second in late April
10:08 < Evilpig> I still don't venture out so there's that too
10:08 <@Dolemite> yeah, plus that Moderna seems to hold the effectiveness against infection a little longer
10:08 <@Dolemite> So I'm good until November/December
10:08 < aestetix> fuck you
10:08 < aestetix> I can't get one until december at the earliest
10:09 < aestetix> and even then it's no guarantee
10:23 < Evilpig> aestetix: do you want me to send you a picture of me getting the booster next week?
10:24 < brimstone> aestetix: you're still unvaxxed in deutcheland?
10:25 < brimstone> you didn't volunteer to count votes in exchange for a jab?
10:36 < aestetix> brimstone: I have both the first shots, but not the booster shot
10:36 < brimstone> same here, but also no plans for a booster shot
10:36 < brimstone> seems like only old folks get it right now in the US
10:36 < brimstone> ... which explains why Dolemite is getting one
10:37 < aestetix> Evilpig: you do that and I'll send you a postcard from a nazi concentration camp "From Auschwitz with Love!"
10:37 < aestetix> or "wish you were here"
10:37 <@Dolemite> brimstone: Yeah, and even I just barely qualify as old enough + high risk
10:39 < Evilpig> aestetix: deal.
10:40 < Evilpig> and after I get my third shot, i'll drive straight to krispy kreme and get a free donut since i'll already be in midtown
10:42 <@Mirage_> I haven't dug for it yet, but I'd like to see the data/results of the studies which concluded the need for a booster.   It certainly doesn't hurt, but if the only reason for it is to raise the IgG levels due to 'exposure'.  It does mean that when exposed your body should be more ready to actively fight the virus, but really only people with a compromised immune system that won't react properly and those 
10:42 <@Mirage_> who are in a position to potentially have more than contact exposure to people who are infected.
10:44 < aestetix> fuck you called my bluff
10:44 < aestetix> now I have to look to see if auschwitz has a gift shop
10:44 < aestetix> which.... just feels wrong
10:44 < brimstone> (they do, been there)
10:45 < aestetix> brimstone: it's on the list. I was planning to go, and then COVID
10:45 < brimstone> to birkenau's
10:45 < brimstone> birkenau is almost all outside, if you're allowed to go there
10:45 < brimstone> there's some inside things, like the shoes, and the gas chambers
10:46 < brimstone> we went on our honeymoon
10:46 < brimstone> just to... start things off at a low bar
10:46 < aestetix> how romantic
10:46 < brimstone> then visited almost all of the countries germany invaded, almost in order
10:46 < aestetix> well actually germany invaded austria and the czech republic before poland
10:47 <@xray> Got my booster this morning.
10:47 < brimstone> website says they're open: http://auschwitz.org/en/visiting/
10:47 < aestetix> You could argue that austria doesn't count, because that was more of a homecoming for hitler

12:45 <@Dolemite> "allergies to pollen" - if only there was something that could prevent pollen from being inhaled by them?   like..   A MASK
12:45 <@Dolemite> also the easiest thing to get a doctor to diagnose for a kid just so the parent can get their way
12:48 < Evilpig> allergies to pollen as a reason to not wear a mask?  are they rubbing the insides of their mask with flowers before putting them on?
12:49 <@Dolemite> They're just trying to come up with a legal end-around to be able to do their own opt-out
12:49 <@Dolemite> These Knox County Karens are Governor HVAC's core people
12:49 < Evilpig> eye doc told me why my contacts make my allergies less.  apparently the inside of your eyelid can get something akin to hives as a response to allergens which then irritate your eye
12:49 < Evilpig> so putting your contacts in acts as a barrier to keep the bumps from rubbing and irritating
12:57 <@Dolemite> Yeah, I occasionally get those bumps.   Visine Allergy helps keep my eyes wet enough to keep it from happenning much.

13:58 < Evilpig> yup just the two.  both were hang ups.  the first was +32 527 37 21
13:58 <@Dagmar> Well, apparently now any telco provider that doesn't comply with the regulations from STIR/SHAKEN now get dumped by phone companies
13:59 <@Dagmar> This means I should really make a special effort to turn up the heat on the pernicious little fuckers who manage to call me anyway

14:27 < brimstone> the FTC no-call list, doesn't cover political calls :(
14:32 <@Dagmar> However, the usual harassment laws do

20:14 < Evilpig> god damnit.  just got the official answer to the dns problem i've been fighting for the last month.  stupid network security has tcp53 blocked to our external dns servers
20:14 < Evilpig> so this request is coming in, it's too big for the udp payload so it switches to a tcp response and gets promptly dropped
20:47 <@Dagmar> I thought we had long since established they were fucking morons.
20:48 <@Dagmar> ...and let's not mince words.  Someone blocking 53/TCP to those servers _is_ a moron.
