07:01 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:01 <@Dolemite> Well, the South does what the South does and re-elects election denying supporters of a failed coup.
07:02 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Heh, FB tells me that 10 years ago today I had taken Patrick for PN and he was drooling over all of your Skylanders.   Little did I know that he would soon have his own complete set of them.
07:12 < aestetix> Evilpig: if you were serious about interviewing at Facebook.... they just laid off 11,000 employees
07:15 <@Dolemite> Yeah, I posted a news article last week saying they were expected to layoff up to 30,000 total over the next month
07:16 <@Dolemite> He's still waiting on the counter from ORNL to his counter and hopefully he'll go pee in a cup
07:16 <@Dolemite> If a recession does hit (which I expect it to) it's about as safe of a harbor as you can find
07:16 <@Dolemite> especially given the amount of funding we just received under the Inflation Reduction Act
07:21 < Evilpig> aestetix: i'm aware and they've also already said this "organization" is one of the few that isn't under the hiring freeze or facing any of hte layoffs
07:22 < Evilpig> but Dolemite is corrent, i'm like 99.999% sure i'm going to ornl but I gotta do something in the meantime for my sanity because they are absurdly slow
07:22 < aestetix> yeah Dolemite I agree, if Evilpig is looking for stability, government stuff is the best. Facebook is stressful and the opposite of stable
07:23 < aestetix> I know someone who recently left facebook after like 3 years.....he was nonstop stressed out, dealing with constant emergencies
07:23 < aestetix> and he was just an ios dev
07:23 < aestetix> maybe it was closer to 5 years actually, I lost track of time during the pandemic
07:25 < Evilpig> seeing nashville all red this morning for state representation is sickening.
07:25 < aestetix> Evilpig: at least the election is getting a ton of attention, maybe it will encourage more people to vote in the future
07:25 <@Dolemite> Gerrymandering at its best!

07:30 < Evilpig> aestetix: it won't matter how many people vote, they split nashville into three districts to make it where the city's opinion doesn't matter.  it's washed out with the surrounding area
07:30 < aestetix> oh that's no good
07:31 <@Dolemite> Yep, the burbs rule the city.   And the burbs hate the city.

08:17 <@Dolemite> LOL
09:02 <@Dagmar> ...because fuck what the voters want.
09:02 <@Dagmar> What's important is to get all those city liberals under control.
09:02 <@Dolemite> Well it is what the voters want...    from a certain point of view.
09:02 <@eryc> send them to work camps
09:02 <@Dagmar> No, it's not.  Not in any sane view.
09:02 < aestetix> s/work/reeducation/
09:02 <@Dagmar> It's fucking gerrymandering
09:02 <@Dolemite> I didn't call it a sane point of view
09:03 <@Dagmar> Yeah but you're making excuses for corruption
09:03 <@Dolemite> No, I'm making fun of them pulling an Obi Wan Kenobi
09:03 <@Dagmar> It's not "an Obi Wan Kenobi".  It's gerrymandering.
09:03 <@Dagmar> It's deliberately redistricting voters so the other party can't possibly win
09:04 <@opticron> AL's districts are pretty bad as well, one covers the cores of Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery along with most of the "traditionally" black areas of the state and is the only blue district in the state
09:04 < Evilpig> it's surprising they didn't try some insane shape to do the same to memphis
09:05 < Evilpig> the only thing that saved them is they cover that entire portion of the state so it would be hard to justify some goofball spike tha twould split it
09:05 <@Dagmar> Almost all of Davidson County is democrat and has been for ages
09:05 <@Dagmar> SOmething to do with having a full set of teeth and a minimum of 100 IQ points
09:07 <@Dagmar> xx: Ask whatever fool wrote that because it's word salad
09:07 <@Dagmar> @!#$@
09:08 < aestetix> I see that Dagmar is on the public relations team at his job
09:09 <@Dagmar> I see that you're still a dipshit
09:09 < aestetix> :(
09:10  * aestetix gives Dolemite a big bright blue hug
09:12 <@Dagmar> I just don't have any humor left about this crap, because I have an idea of just how bad things are going to get
09:14 <@Dagmar> If I have to move because this place turns into Gilead, I'm doing some damage on my way out
10:28 <@Mirage> Warrior Nun tomorrow... =)
10:31 < Evilpig> didn't even realize that got a second season
10:39 <@Mirage> Been trying to get in for a walk-in Flu shot for the past week or so and keep running into long as shit lines or being told I have to schedule onliune to get them
10:49 <@Dagmar> Hoo boy one of our centers has an ISP that's enabled some form of "DNS assistant"
10:50 <@Dagmar> Mirage: There's a second season?
10:50 <@Dagmar> That shit is sending back TTL 0 responses for addresses which do not even operate a nameserver
10:51 <@Dagmar> ...and it's come to my attention because it's preventing the people in that center from getting at some Azure site, because it's sending back the wrong answer
11:12 <@Dolemite> ROFL.   Truth.  https://youtu.be/uVm4D7Q2wZM?t=484

11:24 <@Dagmar> I'm about to have to get stern with some people here
11:24 <@Dagmar> I tell them they're saturating the network because of a change they made yesterday, and the response is "but the files are already replicated"
11:30 <@Dagmar> I'm not a big fan of them quietly disabling whatever it was like they just did, either
11:30 <@Dagmar> It was literally saturating all of our VPN links
12:33 <@Mirage> Dolemite: yeah, the "exit polls" bit most certainly filled my stupid quota for today...at which point I got extremely annoyed and closed it.
12:34 <@Dolemite> Well the "Oval Logic" was the bit I was mainly wanting to share
12:35 <@Mirage> yeah, the first part was funny
12:35 <@Dolemite> I also snort laughed with the 2024 Elections Center
13:48 <@Mirage> Dolemite: Buto said, "Sup fucker!"
13:49 <@Dolemite> Tell him to bring me a cheesesteak
13:51 <@Mirage> He said there's a guy in nashville w/ a food truck that does it right...even to the point of getting his bread sent in from Philly, but that the dude's truck got stolen.
13:51 <@Dolemite> Bastards!
13:52 <@Dolemite> Philly Connection down in ATL back in the 90s (don't know if they're even around anymore) used to have their bread flown in from PHA every few days
13:52 <@Dolemite> er, PHL
14:07 < Evilpig> Mirage: that food truck thing was here in bellevue
14:07 < Evilpig> called "it's a philly thing"
14:08 <@Dolemite> Food trucks around here are stupid expensive.   Like, I could go sit down and eat a steak at Longhorn for the cost of a meal they want me to eat standing up.
18:33 <@Dagmar> LOL comcast chickened out and called a woman at the center whose phone number was in the ticket notes instead of my number like they were supposed to
18:40 <@Dagmar> ...but, as expected, they DID have some demented "DNS security" service turned on, despite being told to do nothing like that when the new modem and 4G backup connection were put in.
18:40 <@Dagmar> I was getting DNS replies from pretty much any IP address I cared to make up
