06:10 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:19  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:20 <@Dolemite> I guess piggy is still in California this week
06:20 <@aestetix> poor guy
06:20 <@Dolemite> Now that has has actual vacation AND flex time
07:11 <@Dolemite> I watched "The Pope's Exorcist" this weekend.   It was bad.  Possibly bad enough to end up with a permanent home in Oddball's collection.
08:10 <@Mirage> Dolemite: See what I said about talking to CM?
08:10 <@Dolemite> I did - I can't believe she's going to drink from a glass that had a severed toe in it.  LOL
08:11 <@Dolemite> I mean, sure, the alcomahol will kinda sorta sterilize it...
08:11 <@Mirage> Haven't seen it on FB yet.  Gonna give her shit about "pics or it didn't happen"
08:11 <@Dolemite> there you go
08:11 <@Dolemite> she hasn't posted anything on FB since December
08:12 <@Mirage> Of course I did tell her that when she posts it, we'll be giving her hell about her foot (toe) fetish
08:12 <@Dolemite> LOL
08:13 <@Dolemite> Our next Alaska cruise will likely either be on her cruise line or Princess
08:13 <@Dolemite> If she's even still working for HAL by then
08:14 <@Dolemite> I had looked into working for Royal at one point but they required a move to Miami.   I was like, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
08:15 <@Dolemite> Moving to one of their ports in the US they may could have talked me into, but definitely not South Florida
08:24 <@aestetix> Dolemite: do you think Amy Schumer is funny?
08:25 <@Dolemite> I think nearly everybody has the ability to be funny at times
08:25 <@Dolemite> even you
08:25 <@Mirage> That's a stretch
08:26 <@Dolemite> I didn't say intentionally funny
08:31 <@Dolemite> Man, I'm glad I didn't look at my 401K very often this year.   I think this is the first I've looked since January.   Back in early March it dipped a huge chunk but has since recovered.
08:49 <@aestetix> Dolemite: is your tesla stock still in freefall?
08:49 <@Dolemite> It's still down, but it's down less
08:49 <@Dolemite> I'm only down 20% on TSLA now
08:49 <@Dolemite> At one point I was down 50%
08:50 <@Dolemite> I'm certainly not throwing any more money into it.  I'll invest in companies that don't have such a turd for CEO.
08:51 <@Dolemite> At least, not such a public turd
09:06 -!- dagmar [~dagmar@user/dagmarx] has joined #se2600

10:01 <@Mirage> They finally started construction on what was thought to be another apt complex where the horse pasture used to be.  Apparently at some point the zoning for high-density something-or-other was denied and they changed the plan to be rental town homes instead.  
10:02 <@Mirage> Now that they actually got started...2 years after tearing up everything, they're throwing up the framing for the townhomes quick as hell.
10:03 <@Mirage> I will say, it's better than an apt complex.. but not a lot
10:03 <@Dolemite> yeah, I can't wait to have an empty nest so I can move somwhere in the middle of nowhere...   with internet
10:04 <@Mirage> I'd still rather have the ~.25 mile stretch of road w/ all the oak trees shading the road and the open pasture behind it.   I still don't get why they took down ALL those trees.
10:04 <@Mirage> Wife liked to go down and feed the horses carrots/apples/etc
10:05 <@Mirage> She wasn't the only one...those two horses were pretty spoiled.
10:53 <@Mirage> What a headline: "Asteroid the size of 28 sheep to ram past the Earth - NASA"
10:54 <@Mirage> Sub-headings: "Baaaad news? How big is the asteroid coming toward Earth in 2023?", "Are ewe sure? What other asteroids are set to pass by soon?"
10:56 <@Dolemite> Ewe Should Be Informed
10:56 <@Mirage> "Sheer danger: Can we stop an asteroid impact?"
10:57 <@Mirage> #1 comment at the bottom: "Male or female and how many are pregnant. Without these details diameter can change !!"
11:14 <@Dolemite> So Pamela and her mother and Melanie and Melanie's friend, Julia, have been down in FL for the past two weeks.   Yesterday they drove through the wildlife preserve there on Sanibel and stated that they didn't see any wildlife...   they drove through at 4 PM, hottest part of the day.
11:20 <@Dolemite> Today, their last day on the island, they decided to go "in the morning."   Technically, they did, as it was around 11:30.
11:20 <@Dolemite> Haven't heard whether or not they saw anything
11:45 <@Mirage> Have then douse whomever you like least w/ some A-1 sauce and toss them in the swamp... they'll see something soon enough
11:45 <@Dolemite> heh, unfortunately they left my mother-in-law's chihuahua here with me
11:46 <@Dolemite> That being said, Ginger has been the better behaved dog this time
11:46 <@Dolemite> Odie has been uncooperative with going out when I called him
11:52 <@Mirage> Ginger and Odie?!   Shouldn't that be Garfield and Odie?
11:52 <@Dolemite> Pamela use to have a cat named Garfield
11:52 <@Dolemite> But this is her mother's dog, so she does the naming
13:32 <@Mirage> "Former Vice President Pence files paperwork launching 2024 presidential bid in challenge to Trump"
13:33 <@Mirage> He may be better than Trump (at least based on Jan 6th), but he still stood back and let the cheeto do all of the crap.
13:38 <@Dolemite> He's better in that he's not a con man, but he's worse in that he wants to handcuff women to the kitchen.  He thinks even the 1950s were too liberal.
13:39 <@Dolemite> The current Republican party is still too beholden to the evangelical crowd and are the ones most likely to push us toward the dystopia shown in The Handmaid's Tale (though hopefully they'd never get that far).
13:40 <@Mirage> As I used to say (jokingly), "The world went to hell in a handbasket once they started letting women wear shoes and vote"
13:51 <@Mirage> In a "training"/shadowing session and this guy keeps pinging things once to verify up/down.  I personally don't see that as a valid test.

14:06 <@Dolemite> Jack Black...   need I say more?
14:28 <@Mirage> Digging through a box the weekend I found my old D-Link DWL-650.
14:28 <@Mirage> Amazingly, I trashed it vs keeping it.
14:29 <@Mirage> Found my old 3Com 10/100 X-Jack as well.
15:55 <@Mirage> Just got a docking station from ebay that was "Used: tested good". https://postimg.cc/gallery/SjpXSW6

15:55 <@Mirage> I think they should have tested better
21:09 <@dagmar> LOL I may have _erred_
21:11 <@dagmar> Audra is going to some place called 'Chocolate Covered Strawberry' in about a week with the neighbor ladies, and reading their email got he thinking about chocolate-covered strawberries, so we _had_ to make a stop at Publix for some chocolate covered strawberries.  $7.25
21:11 <@dagmar> I bouhgt a bar of Hershey's special dark, and a box of strawberries.  $7.25
21:12 <@dagmar> She's _mad_ because they use freakin Magic Shell and I now have a cookie sheet covered with really _good_ chocolate-covered strawberries
