05:55 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:44 <@Dolemite> So without giving away too much... this week's Star Trek explores the dark future if Pike avoided the accident that he was shown in the time crystal...
06:44 <@Dolemite> I just with that they had the balls to write a story where the future is doomed because Kirk wasn't there to fuck a space alien
06:44 <@Dolemite> wish. Not with.
07:02 < Evilpig_> lol
07:02 < Evilpig_> at least the orville is delivering on a good "trek" content
07:03 <@Dolemite> Haven't watched that one yet
07:04 < Evilpig_> gonna start that here in a bit. feeling somewhat optimistic today after my HR meeting yesterday
07:04 <@Dolemite> I mean, this is good Trek content. Just not the Kirk-needed-to-bang-the-alien plot that I wanted.
07:11 < Evilpig_> oh gees. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RSRXDLX you can blind someone for 60s before it runs out of juice
07:11 < PigBot> IMALENT MS18 Brightest Flashlight 100,000 Lumens, LED Flashlight 18pcs Cree XHP70.2 LEDs, Rechargeable Powerful Torch Long Throw Up to 1350 Meters, with OLED Display and Built-in Cooling Tools - - Amazon.com (at www.amazon.com) https://tinyurl.com/2ncezwj8
07:13 <@Dolemite> Likely give them a massive migraine in the process, too
07:20 < Evilpig_> http://imdb.com/title/tt20859734/ I knew this wasn't going to be good but I figured it could at least be amusing. It's really not and the google product placements are just awful....

07:38 <@Mirage> Evilpig_: agreed
07:39 <@Mirage> Aleza, please add an excavator to my wishlist. lol..yeah right
07:40 <@Mirage> er, Alexa. Whatever. I hate that f'n thing anyway. Pissed that the non-alexa remotes I had aquired for me FireTV Sticks don't work with the 4k's that I upgraded to. haven't checked again, but at the time there wasn't a non-alexa option that was listed as working with them.
07:42 < Evilpig_> we just use the shield remotes for everything here
07:42 < Evilpig_> all the TVs in the house are CEC enabled except mine in the bedroom so it's all unified
07:43 < Evilpig_> been testing this out too. https://www.engadget.com/shield-tv-update-night-listening-mode-120502488.html

07:43 < Evilpig_> seems like it is working well, but need to do more testing to be completely sold on it
07:44 <@Mirage> Both mine are also. The one in the living room works pretty well w/ the TV remote. Since I have a logitech programmable for the home theatre in the living room it gets pretty flaky to use

08:21 <@Dolemite> Damn. The Orville was definitely a thinker.
08:39 <@Mirage> watching it now
08:46 < Evilpig_> I've been side tracked by work and maintenance this morning
08:46 < Evilpig_> deshaun stopped by to "borrow my teenager"
08:46 < Evilpig_> but she isn't here. lol
08:47 < Evilpig_> apparently last night four kids hopped the fence to the upper pool and then had a little late night pool party with one of them leaving their shirt behind and they all left redbull and mountain dew cans.
08:48 < Evilpig_> he wanted her to look at the video and name them since he doesn't recognize all of them. he said one of the kids looked right at the camera and pointed at it before making a face and doing a little dance looking right into it
09:25 <@Dolemite> snitches get stitches
10:29 <@Mirage> It's the Orville sir...they've gone to plaid!

10:53 <@Mirage> These fuckers just don't seem to grasp that having been recorded is proof.
11:05 <@Mirage> I just love meetings where I'm the 'driver' for doing a change that someone else submitted due to them not having the proper access, then being stuck sharing my screen for several hours.

11:12 <@Mirage> This is great, esp when he gets into the games section
11:20 <@Mirage> People just don't get that there are different grades of oil and not all of them are good for making gasoline. https://nypost.com/2022/07/06/joe-biden-exports-oil-barrels-despite-us-gas-prices-report/
11:20 < PigBot> Joe Biden exports oil barrels despite US gas prices: report (at nypost.com) https://tinyurl.com/2n7k6o95
11:21 <@Mirage> This would be like having a food shortage and people bitching about corn being exported, completely ignoring the fact that it's feed corn, not food corn.
11:45 <@Mirage> I think the biggest impact to me with all the election/jan 6/etc crap is my re-evaluated view of people I previously respected and thought to be intelligent. My uncle, a retired Admiral and respected Neuroradiologist is a prime example when he posts shit on Facebook about how current gas prices are more important than the farce of the Jan 6 committee.
11:58 < Evilpig_> had to have a talk with my dad about his views night before last. roe came up as a topic and I said gay marriage is definitely in their sights to which he said something to the effect of "if they'd stop trying to get more stuff than the rest of us have they wouldn't be a target"
11:59 < Evilpig_> when asked what extra stuff they're trying to get he didn't have an answer, obviously
12:00 < Evilpig_> I asked him about birthcontrol options getting denied by insurers/physicians/etc and he said "they can't do that", to which I pointed out all the news articles from the last few weeks since that turned of people trying just that already
12:00 < Evilpig_> then he went into some rant about newsome and I kinda tuned out
12:16 <@Mirage> My mom still goes off about how the election had to have been stolen somehow because there's no way that many people would vote for a guy like Biden. She didn't like me pointing out yet again that we had record numbers of voters turnout and that it wasn't really a question of Trump vs Biden but Trump or !Trump
12:22 < Evilpig_> he was also telling me to google something about some group that wants to enforce term limits on the house/senate and bypassing them by getting some magical 70% of states? what of those states I don't know, and that then they could try to fight it in the supreme court but would have to have the house vote to reject it and would have to have 90% of that
12:22 < Evilpig_> the more I hear the crazier it got and the details were just everywhere
12:23 < Evilpig_> he started to sound like my cleaning lady
12:26 <@Mirage> I'm 100% behind the idea of limiting terms of senators/representatives. I know it's not always the case, but I'm sure that like in 'The Distinguished Gentleman', people vote for the name moreso than the person.
12:54 <@Dolemite> Ugh. Stupid HTML style.
