06:19 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:22 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Have you tried Parlor Doughnuts?   Apparently they are opening a store here in Farragut (they have a store on West End in Nashville).
06:27  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:58 <@Dolemite> As I'm reading the story on /. about DoorDash warning people that orders without tips are likely to be delivered slower...  I just have to once again wonder out loud how DoorDash and GrubHub can even manage to exist these days.   Even with food being more expensive than ever, the fees for delivery are often as much as the cost of the food itself.  Who are these people that are throwing so much money away 
06:58 <@Dolemite> for the sake of conveniently cold food?
07:39 < Evilpig> I have not even heard of them
07:39 < Evilpig> Dolemite: I have on occasion doordashed DQ
07:40 < Evilpig> there are times that you just want a blizzard and you're like, i'm not driving over there i'll eat that whatever stupidly high fee to have it brought to me like a fancy man
07:40 <@Dolemite> $5 Blizzard + $3 Delivery Fee + $2 Tip = Insanity
07:40 < Evilpig> I'd say you're low on the delivery fee
07:40 <@Dolemite> Yeah, probably.  I've only done it as part of a mystery shop that required it.
07:41 < Evilpig> the delivery fee that angers me the most is from pizza hut these days
07:41 < Evilpig> pretty much every single pizza place has a delivery fee again
07:41 <@Dolemite> I only do Pizza Hut when it's the only option
07:42 <@Dolemite> and Domino's is so close by that we just send ${teenager_with_license} to the pickup window
07:42 < Evilpig> we can get pizza hut, dominos, jets, papa johns  delivered easily and I prefer pizza hut from those options.  I REALLY like jets but they are so high
07:43 <@Dolemite> Because delivery time is usually so much longer than pickup time
07:43 <@Dolemite> Like, it's not unusual to look at delivery time from any pizza place as 60-75 minutes, but pickup time is 15-20 minutes.
07:44 <@Dolemite> Well, and with Pamela working for Blaze, we get to eat there once a month for free...
07:44 <@Dolemite> Usually the rest of the month we just grab a pizza from Aldi and heat it in the oven
07:44 <@Dolemite> But occasionally we'll do Domino's or Jet's
07:51 < Evilpig> you're making me want pizza.  I have some cheap shitty college pizza in the freezer.  I think i'll do that for lunch
07:52 < Evilpig> oh totinos, why you do me so dirty and not be $.75 anymore?!
07:52 <@Dolemite> I was thinking about some pizza rolls in the ninja air fryer for lunch
07:52 < Evilpig> your cracker crust and fake cheese have not gotten any better.  you're not worth $2.25 that I think i paid
07:56 <@Dolemite> got my 1:1 with Paul in a few...  this is new.  we'll see how that goes.
07:59 < aestetix> who is Paul
08:01 <@Dolemite> our boss' boss
08:01 < aestetix> maybe you're getting your boss's job
08:01 < Evilpig> I have mine next week
08:01 < Evilpig> I'm not happy about it
08:01 < aestetix> or your company is getting aquired by china, and you're getting the loyalty test
08:01 < Evilpig> I really dislike stuff like that anyway and this just makes me even more uncomfortable and I intend to let him know that
08:02 < Evilpig> aestetix: he's the new director and trying to make his mark by being the approachable person that is in the know and he's making an effort to reach out to every single person under him to have a direct connection
08:03 < aestetix> oh ok
08:03 <@Dolemite> I don't see this as something he will sustain
08:03 < aestetix> so he's like the newly elected mayor going around to city deparrtments to say "hello"
08:03 < Evilpig> he does genuinely seem like he wants to know what is going on almost to the point of micro-managing
08:04 < Evilpig> and he has escalated a few issues i've been dealing with lately so I appreciate that, but that level of micro management is unsustainable
08:04 <@Dolemite> I see it as more like he inherited a bunch of people he didn't know so he's making everybody go through it so he can get to know them
08:04 < aestetix> well make sure to take a shower before your meeting with him
08:04 <@Dolemite> Normally I only hear from him about once a month
08:04 <@Dolemite> Nah, Teams meeting
08:04 < aestetix> You don't want to smell like a data center
08:04 < aestetix> oh
08:05 <@Dolemite> I smell like sawdust.  Was engraving duck tags last night for the cruise.
08:06 < aestetix> out of wood?
08:06 <@Dolemite> yeah, 1/16" thick basswood
08:06 < aestetix> oh duck tags
08:06 < aestetix> I thought you said dog tags
08:06 < aestetix> which I thought were normally metal
08:08 <@Dolemite> Was this the season finale on Lower Decks?   They better not get rid of Tendi.
08:09 < Evilpig> maybe?  I dunno.  I know they already got an order for another season
08:09 < Evilpig> i'll turn it on here in a few.  was supposed to be having a call with a counselor about sabrina at 8 and no call, nothing
08:10 < aestetix> what did sabrina do? drop a cherry bomb in the school toilet?
08:11 <@Dolemite> Better than what I dropped in the last toilet I saw
08:13 < Evilpig> she's just got issues that she needs to talk to someone about and we're not the best outlet for that
08:14 < aestetix> a teenage girl with issues? how odd and unusual
08:14 < Evilpig> hers are more than just teenage girl, but those too
08:14 <@Dolemite> Yeah, we found a therapist for Melanie that she likes to talk to.  Insurance pays for it, so why the hell not.
08:15 < Evilpig> aestetix: put yourself in the shoes of a 10yr old girl who was shipped off to a relative after your parent told you that you're the cause for all their problems and if your relative won't take you then you're going to the foster system.  then for the next 5 years be told by that same person that "you can come home whenever you want now that you're fixed"
08:16 <@Dolemite> Definitely mega fucked up
08:16 < aestetix> hold up
08:16 < Evilpig> so yes.  she has some issues that she doesn't want to talk about and needs someone that she can relate to that also is a professional to help her deal with this in a healthy way that doesn't become larger problems
08:17 < aestetix> sent away because she was the cause of problems, and then for five years being told she could come back
08:17 < aestetix> that doesn't make any sense
08:17 < aestetix> (for the parents, not the kid)
08:17 < Evilpig> her mom is extremely fucked up
08:18 < aestetix> does her mom do drugs
08:19 < Evilpig> we've had her in some form of counseling for the last 5 years but the company we've been dealing with is horrible about getting back to us.  she's had at least 8 different counselors and only one did she really connect with.  every single one of them has had a reason to stop dealing with her and telehealth has been a major source of the problem so i'm trying to find a younger female counselor that she can relate to that will do in person sessions.  
08:19 < Evilpig> it can't be a friend though, it has to be a professional because there are some other issues I won't discuss that have to be handled 
08:20 < Evilpig> aestetix: won't confirm but obviously
08:21 < aestetix> ok yeah
08:21 < aestetix> drugs + kids = no good
08:22 <@Dolemite> Melanie's therapist has a horse farm that she has her practice at and she uses them for therapy on some patients.  Benefits of not being in the middle of a city.
09:54 < Evilpig> oooo I like these new plex settings
09:55 < Evilpig> fuck yes!  pause.  play, auto rolls back 5 seconds now
10:03 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: The 1:1 went as expected.  He's mainly trying to gauge all of his new folks to see what they want to do, their frustrations (work related), etc.
11:24 < Evilpig> Dolemite: as for lower decks, they're about to pull a spock
11:24 < Evilpig> I mean come on.  they just set off a genesis device, new planet, missing crew,  hello spock-dee
11:28 < Evilpig> Dolemite, Mirage, Dagmar:  pretty sure you all liked orphan black.  looks like the spin off just dropped.  http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=418712
11:28 < PigBot> Orphan Black: Echoes - TheTVDB.com (at www.thetvdb.com) https://tinyurl.com/ywvjz4k5
12:07 <@Dolemite> It should already be on my sonarr list
12:08 < Evilpig> it's appearing in the places that have the things
12:09 <@Dolemite> Mine are all stuck in the activity queue because it doesn't know the names of the episodes
12:09 <@Dolemite> I'll do a manual import and let it sort things out later
12:15 <@Dolemite> I guess I know a series I'll be copying to my laptop for watching during the downtime on the cruise
12:18 <@Dolemite> OH FUCKING A.  Just read that I can use my drink vouchers on the ship towards the cost of a pitcher of beer.  They have Newcastle.   That means I can get a pitcher of Newcastle for $4 + tax.  Hot damn.
12:18 <@Dolemite> I get 4 vouchers per day.  LOL
12:19 < Evilpig> mine were too, but I saw them so I told it to import anyway
12:20 < Evilpig> how many vouchers = pitcher though?  surely they won't let you do 1:1
12:20 <@Dolemite> 1 voucher is worth up to $14
12:20 < Evilpig> I see
12:20 <@Dolemite> 1 pitcher = $18, so I only have to pay the difference
12:21 <@Dolemite> Yeah, the Diamond benefit on RCL is quite nice.  If we ever hit Diamond +, it goes up to 5 drinks per day (per person).  Pinnacle is their highest level and you get 6 vouchers per day plus free wifi for the whole cruise.   Right now we each get 1 free day of wifi per person.
12:22 <@Dolemite> Wifi is usually around $20/day if you get it on sale
12:49 <@Mirage> $20/d...what a rip off.
12:50 <@Dolemite> Well we book far enough in advance that we can usually get it during the Black Friday sales for around $12/day, which isn't horrible.
12:50 <@Dolemite> Then I turn on internet connection sharing when we're in the room so we can both use it at the same time
12:51 <@Mirage> Still a rip-off
12:59 < Evilpig> Dagmar: learn me.  I know I can read /etc/cups/printers.conf but is there any easy way from the command line to do something like lpstat and get the printer name/driver info/etc ?
13:45 <@Mirage> "Through November 14, revel in all the nightmarish wonders Sanctuary has to offer with up to 44% off Diablo® IV.1"
13:45 <@Mirage> " This offer isn't available.
13:45 <@Mirage> Some offers are only available for a limited time, or to specific accounts."
13:45 < Evilpig> they discountd that thing quick.  this is the activision way?
13:46 <@Mirage> What a crock
13:53 <@Mirage> Watching "I am a Hero" that my cousin was wanting.  Japanese zombie flick.   Kinda funny, kinda weird
13:55 <@Mirage> Of course, in restrospect, just saying 'japanese' took care of the 'kind of weird' part
13:55 < Evilpig> racist
13:56 < Evilpig> how dare you classify all things japanese a weird just becasuse they come from that little island full of weirdos
13:59 < aestetix> ok I got a question
14:00 < aestetix> doubt you guys would know, but maybe
14:00 < aestetix> when a game is released on steam, how long does it take to show up in geforcenow
14:00 < aestetix> which is a great service for those of us without $1500 graphics cards
14:20 <@Mirage> dunno, don't care
14:21 <@Mirage> imo that's just bloat.   I install the driver and that's it
14:28 <@Dolemite> *sigh*  damn this vacation can't come soon enough
14:28 <@Dolemite> Incident:  I get a 404 error on this URL
14:29 <@Dolemite> Response:  That's because you can't type worth shit
14:38 <@Mirage> So first we were informed of being rolled off DISH on the 12th due to them not paying their contract, but to continue working as normal until then.  (Nov 12th is the end of the 6 mo contract and Dell doesn't want to give DISH any legal leverage by not fulfilling it).  As of this morning we've been told by the DISH teamlead that we're not supposed to do anything on any "CX503" sites without a change.  We 
14:38 <@Mirage> *only* work on CX503 sites, which prior to this were the "deployed but non-live" 5G sites.  We don't have access to change management, so that means we can't do anything anymore.  What a f'n waste
17:28 <@Dagmar> Wilpig: Generally CUPS would know, but with most networked printers nowadays you can just stalk for the mDNS broadcast they'll send
18:48 < Evilpig> I ended up just reading printers.conf or whatever.  the issue was that we have a printer set up that does an id based queue.  user trying to use this printer and woudl goto the printer enter his secure creds and then the back of every page would be garbage.  so I figured this is just a case of hte wrong printer driver
18:48 < Evilpig> printer is a ricoh 3500C and the driver was set to a richoh 4805 or something like that.  similar but different enough
18:49 < Evilpig> fixed the driver and job didn't show up.  got to talking to folks and the reason that printer was using that driver was because that was te last good multifunction device driver that ricoh released.  the correct driver for the printer doesn't have the userid functionality as part of the ppd
18:54 < Evilpig> ffs
18:54 < Evilpig> she failed her permit test for hte second time
18:54 < Evilpig> and got some of the SAME questions wrong the second time as the first time
18:54 < Evilpig> the exact same fuckign question!!!!
18:57 < Evilpig> Which one of the following states is FALSE regarding rolling stops?
18:57 < Evilpig> A They are legal in low volume traffic areas
18:57 < Evilpig> B They are dangerious and illegal
18:57 < Evilpig> C They are grounds for receiving a traffic ticket
19:02 < Evilpig> ffs
19:02 < Evilpig> You are coming to an intersection with a flashing red light.  You should:
19:02 < Evilpig> A - Slow down and drive carefully
19:02 < Evilpig> B - Slow down and yield the right-of-way
19:02 < Evilpig> C - Come to a complete stop, check the trafffic, and go on when it is safe.
19:04 < Evilpig> On a street where traffic is moving in both directions, in what position must you be before making a left turn?
19:04 < Evilpig> A - To the left of the centerline
19:04 < Evilpig> B - To the right of and as close to the centerline as possible
19:04 < Evilpig> C - In the right lane as near to the right curb as possible.
19:04 < Evilpig> these are the actual questions she missed.  like how the fuck?
19:17 <@Dagmar> I hate to say it, but lots of people will apparently miss those things
19:18 <@Dagmar> In CA at the DMV I had a BUNCH Of people questioning whether or not I should be taking the driving exam without having read the handbook, and I was like "I haven't noticed anything different here than anywhere else" and was still sure enough about the exam to deliberately pick the "Speed up" option for the "You're approaching an intersection with a baby in a stroller in the crosswalk and the light just turned yellow" question
19:19 <@Dagmar> ...to which I got the completely expected stink-eye from the examiner.
19:19 <@Dagmar> ...and I laughed.
19:19 <@Dagmar> She gave me the exam back still kinda glaring at me and said "It's a 93" and I had to respond with a grin on my face, "Which is passing, right?"
19:27 <@Dagmar> That last one has slightly tricksie verbiage tho
20:04 <@Dagmar> It is profoundly weird seeing the girl who was formerly a grown-ass space robot woman in Picard playing a teenager in Goosebumps
20:41 <@Dagmar> Evilpig: You can probably simplify this "You are coming to an intersection with a flashing red light.  You should:" by telling her the thing I don't generally written out... That a flashing red is entirely the same as a 4-way stop
20:58 <@Dagmar> er don't generally see written out
21:26 < Evilpig> I have 100% told her that many many times
21:26 < Evilpig> she's been getting asked questions like this as we drive to school, bowling, etc for months
21:27 < Evilpig> i'm mainly annoyed because since she's failed twice she can no longer take the online test and has to go take it at the dmv
21:27 < Evilpig> the dmv is only open M-F 8-5.  testing is only allowed at two sites in davidson and only from 10a - 2:45p
21:28 < Evilpig> that means she has to be pulled from school to go do it or wait until they have a day when there is no school AND the dmv isn't closed becaus eof some dumb shit holiday
21:28 < Evilpig> and I sitll have to arrange time out of work now as well.  i'm pissed that she's wasting my god damned time!
