02:18 -!- Dagmar [~dagmar@user/dagmarx] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
06:58 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:56 <@Dolemite> Tdarr is back to squeezing.   I changed the transcode profile so that anything that *I* consider to be a high bitrate gets re-encoded, even if already in hevc.   I'm quite happy with 3Mbps bitrate and some of these TV shows Sonarr is grabbing are way higher than that.
07:57 <@Dolemite> The base install was excluding all hevc from the re-encode process no matter what
08:12 < aestetix> Dolemite: looks like Elon Musk is no longer the richest man on earth, thanks to TSLA tanking
08:12  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
08:13 <@Dolemite> yep
08:13 <@Dolemite> Fucker needs to hand Twitter off to someone competent
08:14 < aestetix> It is kind of amusing how his mishandling of Twitter is fucking over an unrelated company
08:18 <@Dolemite> well the whole purchase of Twitter is leveraged by his stock in TSLA...    but it also shows that he's not the wunderkind of business that his carefully curated image has been in the past
08:19 < aestetix> Isn't it also leveraged by twitter taking him to court to force him to complete the takeover? :p
08:19 <@Dolemite> that's not leverage in the business sense, leverage means collateral
08:19 < aestetix> And now we're treated to semi-daily uneventful "twitter file" episodes that reveal no new information
08:20 <@Dolemite> Yeah, that's just the MAGA crowd still believing that there's just one hidden document that will one day be revealed and show that all of their conspiracy theories are correct
08:20 < aestetix> I admit I was excited at first, but the way it has transpired has sort of deflated that balloon
08:21 < aestetix> It turns out the bodies that were buried..... everyone already knew about
08:22 <@Dolemite> Oh, look, TSLA is down nearly 50% since the stock split
08:22 <@Dolemite> yay me
08:22 <@Dolemite> -49.66& over the past 12 months
08:22 <@Dolemite> s/&/%
08:25 <@Dolemite> My TSLA shares are nearly the same value as my WMT shares, only my WMT shares are at a profit
08:25 <@Mirage> Headline should be "Florida Man once again proves he's a worthless human being".  https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/2022/12/13/ron-desantis-covid-vaccines-grand-jury-florida-investigation/10890753002/
08:25 < PigBot> Ron DeSantis seeks a grand jury investigation of COVID-19 vaccines (at www.heraldtribune.com) https://tinyurl.com/2e3gt4e6
08:26 <@Dolemite> yeah, it's all for show.  They'll "investigate" and then fail to bring any charges, but he'll milk the investigation part for as long as humanly possible.
08:28 < aestetix> It does seem like his campaign thus far has been lackluster
08:29 <@Mirage> Hell, Trump's been hiding out since he announced.  Likely because he's afraid that as soon as he leaves the 'safety' of his home he'll be arrested.
08:30 <@Mirage> Or assassinated by the people he incited and then threw under the bus
08:30 <@Mirage> I'd be good w/ either outcome
08:30 <@Dolemite> well, time to get ready to head onto campus for our holiday lunch and then all-hands meeting
08:32 < aestetix> Can being a candidate protect him from prosecution?
08:32 < aestetix> Otherwise it seems like there is no logical reason for him to run
08:33 <@Dolemite> It allows him to collect campaign funds which I believe can be used to help pay for his defense, but at a minimum, his family knows how to suck the money out of the campaign fund.
08:34 <@Mirage> He and a lot of people seem to think so.  No one is above the law, but the republicans will politicize any actions taken against him even more now than before he announced.
08:36 <@Mirage> it wouldn't suprise me if the true republican leadership hasn't been pushing him toward it, knowing full well he's guilty as shit, in an effort to drum up more support in the next round of elections as they stand him up as a martyr
08:36 < aestetix> that's horrible
08:39 < Evilpig> Dolemite: i'm putting my new desktop to good use.  tdarr node #5
08:44 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Not your work one, I hope.   You don't need to get fired this soon.
09:10 < Evilpig> lol  just had someone send me this and said this is the first topic of their all hands meeting this morning.  https://capture.dropbox.com/YaEi0KiAqFsnRwos

13:46 <@Mirage> Lol..  “Trying to find it is not always the easiest thing – "...
13:54 < Evilpig> lol
14:14 < Warcop> hahaha
14:52 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: LOL @ Retention graph
14:57 < Evilpig> my insider said they tried to put some spin on it like it's the economy, etc but that was one department tanking
15:00 <@Dolemite> And they can't even spin it like Torg did - explaining that you're at ORNL because of the mission, not because you think you can get rich.   VUMC is for-profit, now, so fuck the mission statement.
15:00 < Evilpig> I doubt they even addressed who left for the drop
15:01 < Evilpig> that's shut scuttlebutt around there at this point
