IRC Driven

[00:18:21] ski Goo Goo Dolls ?

[00:26:19] ski bonsoir

[00:26:38] ski the name reminded me of "GoGo dancing" ..

[00:29:04] ski heya :)

[00:29:15] ski hope you're doing fine

[00:30:04] ski oh .. i was off-chat for a while

[00:39:44] ski and the moon and the sun

[00:40:33] ski i remember seeing some Micecraft world where there was no solid ground, just space, with some floating cubic planets

[00:43:43] ski "When the Sun shines upon Earth, 2 - major Time points are created on opposite sides of Earth - known as Midday and Midnight. Where the 2 major Time forces join, synergy creates 2 new minor Time points we recognize as Sunup and Sundown. The 4-equidistant time points can be considered as Time Square imprinted upon the circle of Earth. In a single rotatoin of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point

[00:43:49] ski rotates through the other 3-corner Time points, thus creating 16 corners, 96 hours, and 4-simultaneous 24-hour Days within a single rotation of Earth - equated to a Higher Order of Life Time Cube."

[00:43:54] ski heya CrystalMath

[00:44:07] ski it's a quote from WikiPedia

[00:44:18] ski <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Cube>

[00:45:46] ski heh, that waterslide reminds me of people doing very high waterfalls in Minecraft

[00:46:04] ski also, people have considered making space elevators

[00:47:25] ski like have a small asteroid, or space station, at an altitude where it rotates at the same speed as Earth, so that it's always over the same spot on the surface. then one could possible have an elevator there .. but it'd have to be made of a much stronger material than steel, since the middle parts of it would be exposed to very strong forces

[00:48:04] ski hm .. i think Venus may have rain .. but of other things than water, iirc

[00:48:35] ski there's also water volcanoes, on some moons of outer planets. the volcano is made of ice, and it erupts with water, not lava

[00:49:57] ski hm, well .. there is something called the "solar wind". but it's not a wind in the ordinary sense

[00:50:15] ski (it causes the northern (and southern) lights)

[00:54:23] ski hm, Mars has some (water) snow at the poles, i think

[00:54:58] ski several of the outer moons have methane ice, iirc

[00:55:20] ski not sure i've heard about methane snow

[00:56:54] ski i know Io, which is a moon of Jupiter, is quite volcanically active .. this is due to it being quite close to Jupiter, so tidal effects will tear at it, causing friction, heating up, cracking surface

[00:57:13] ski hello rtn0

[00:57:40] ski smoking ?

[00:58:00] ski is that a module tracker program ?

[01:04:35] ski "Schism Tracker is a free and open-source reimplementation of Impulse Tracker, .." <https://schismtracker.org> -- ah, as i suspected

[01:05:33] ski i'd never !

[01:08:13] ski also used Intuitracker .. still needs to install that under UAE

[01:08:50] ski it used an ordinary WorkBench window

[01:10:10] ski sushi-chan : iirc, that YT video about Pluto also mentions water volcanoes

[01:12:30] ski oh, Schism Tracker is based on ModPlug

[01:14:08] ski well .. when the lava reaches the sea, a lot of steam is produced

[01:15:09] ski in 1963, there was an underwater eruption off the coast of Iceland. eventually the lava reached the surface, and a new island, Surtsey, was formed

[01:16:02] ski i could imagine a tsunami washing away a lava stream, if it was powerful enough

[01:16:33] ski heh, fish soup :)

[01:17:18] ski my older brother's artistic .. and interested in geology. i remember at one point, he drew (quite detailed, and geologically believable) maps of a planet

[01:18:18] ski one part of the planet was a shallow sea, cornered inbetween some islands, with only a few water channels out to the main sea. he also had underwater volcanoes under that part of the sea, so that it was constantly boiling (and producing a near-constant fog)

[01:20:00] ski it's interesting how often the soil becomes more nutrient-filled, near volcanoes

[01:20:20] ski g'night, socraticDev

[01:21:01] ski one time, when we were on iceland, we boiled eggs by putting them in a shallow pit in the sand, at the edge/beach of a lake, with hot springs under the sand

[01:21:38] ski my brother complained that the eggs tasted of sulphur. my mother said that all eggs contained sulphur (it's the yellow in the yolk, iirc)

[01:21:52] ski that sounds nice, socraticDev

[01:22:48] ski .. but it would probably have been better to take a pot, fill it with fresh water, put the eggs in there, and put that in the sand

[01:23:48] ski (also reminds me of the game "Martha is Dead", socraticDev ..)

[01:44:49] ski peas for the seas, fleas to tease

[01:45:09] ski what's that approach, Kuro-chan ?

[01:47:26] ski baking powder ?

[01:48:24] ski you let the dough rest a bit ?

[01:48:27] ski right

[01:54:33] ski egg penciled on top of the dough ?

[01:58:12] ski sushi-chan : reminds me of some woman who was both blind and deaf, but managed to learn language, and even wrote a book

[01:58:20] ski rtn0 : well, the page said so ..

[01:58:55] ski <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller>

[02:01:40] ski "The player is based on a highly modified version of the ModPlug engine, with a number of bugfixes and changes to improve IT playback."

[02:03:24] ski did you compose any, in trackers, rtn0 ?

[02:03:39] ski that's cool :)

[02:05:37] ski hm .. apparently Beethoven continued to compose music, after becoming deaf

[02:06:50] ski there's a song about a super-handicapped person ..

[02:08:03] ski did Jeanne Calmant stay physically and mentally active ?

[02:08:53] ski enyc : reminds me i should try to (re)build XMMS (and build UADE plugin for it)

[02:09:28] ski my mothermother became 99 .. she lived at home until around two years before that, i think

[02:10:21] ski yea, i want old-school XMMS

[02:10:40] ski (and i certainly do *not* want a "media library")

[02:11:20] ski lady luck favors some more than others, yea

[02:13:36] ski um .. rtn0 was talking a bit about composing music in trackers, before. but suddenly started spewing invectives towards nitecore .. dunno why

[02:14:56] ski haven't seen them before

[02:17:29] ski after they said they'd ignore, they stopped referring to you, sushi-chan, that i recall

[02:17:58] ski could just be someone who was momentarily annoyed by you seemingly coming out of the blue and making that joke

[02:21:16] ski yea, could mix some tar into the core

[02:21:24] ski (but what about umami ?)

[02:22:16] ski .. are there any umami candies ?

[02:22:34] ski coffee-flavored chocolate is nice

[02:22:54] ski (coffee in chocolate, and in cake, is the only coffee i ingest)

[02:23:26] ski how young, sushi-chan ?

[02:23:56] ski CT's still in Poland ?

[02:24:19] ski hehe

[02:24:58] ski hope there were some sweetener, or maybe milk/cream, in that, rather than just black

[02:26:42] ski well, guess that works, too

[02:27:33] ski well .. e.g.

[02:28:02] ski your hair would probably stand on all ends, after drinking the coffee

[02:28:33] ski (sortof like the Gianna sisters, after having a power-up, in that game)

[02:28:51] ski how come, CrystalMath ?

[02:29:25] ski briefly ?

[02:31:39] ski not all people get along that well. but i dunno why they thought it'd be acceptable to detonate like that .. apparently also about some drama unrelated to this channel

[02:34:03] ski well, i guess CT is busy earning uncome for network or something

[02:35:24] ski er, s/uncome/income/

[02:36:24] ski sushi-chan : never saw that, either

[02:38:47] ski not water, soysauce

[02:39:09] ski (well ok, perhaps some water from the maize, and the trout)

[02:40:00] ski are you sure there aren't mobile veggies ?

[02:40:58] ski (46 °F here, atm)

[02:41:47] ski there's also another plant, which grows a kind of cup, with a lid which can close. the inside of the cup is slippery, with a digestive fluid at the bottom

[02:42:54] ski oh, and there's a tree which has its branches hanging down in a circle. the inside of the branches are covered with thorns. and it produces a poisonous gas. so if some larger animal happens to get inside, it can die and then get absorbed by the roots

[02:43:50] ski sushi-chan : <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes>

[02:44:00] ski (i forget what the tree one was called)

[02:44:54] ski Africa is a song, no ?

[02:47:08] ski iirc, "Africa" originally referred only to some northern parts

[02:47:30] ski there was a roman general called Scipio Afrikanus, after he won some battles there

[02:48:45] ski iirc, "Asia" is after some princess

[02:50:25] ski blarg

[02:54:07] ski (initially, i thought it referred to someone from the Caucasus, like say around Georgia, Armenia, the like)

[02:59:10] ski hm, there's apparently a "Devil's Crater" in (iirc) Arizona

[12:09:39] ski .. first time i saw IRC (mIRC, specifically), was some turkish girl happily chatting away, in the school library computer room

[17:08:45] ski toni : und mit röstwiebeln?

[17:09:09] ski hehe :)

[17:09:35] ski (fwiw, that is "fried onion")

[17:10:04] ski you should also learn "Ich trinke Alkohol", sushi-chan

[17:11:14] ski there's a song which goes "Jawohl, jawohl ! Ich trinke Alkohol. .. Ich trinke keine Wasser, ich trinke Alkohol, jawohl, jawohl !"

[17:12:20] ski here, they're calling a hot dog in which the sausage is completely embedded in the bread (like a baguette, i suppose), a "french hot dog"

[17:12:47] ski but yes, sushi-chan

[17:13:07] ski where did "chein" come from ?

[17:13:34] ski "eine kleine beine"

[17:14:05] ski toni : ah, so es kommt auf Dänemark ?

[17:18:25] ski hehe

[17:20:56] ski <https://blogg.lantmannen-unibake.no/hs-fs/hubfs/7. NO/LUB/Blog/550x410-fransk-hotdog4.jpg> is the "french" hot dog i was thinking about

[17:23:06] ski "The term dog has been used as a synonym for sausage since the 1800s, possibly from accusations that sausage makers used dog meat in their sausages.", apparently

[17:26:58] ski heh

[17:27:34] ski "In Germany the consumption of dog meat was common in Saxony, Silesia, Anhalt, and Bavaria during the 19th and 20th centuries. The suspicion that sausages contained dog meat was \"occasionally justified\"."

[17:28:13] ski apparently testicles are considered a delicacy, in some places

[17:31:03] ski (in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", he's offered monkey brain (served directly from the head) .. also some kind of snake soup, iirc)

[17:33:17] ski over here, there was someone who owned a cat .. and the cat started getting ill. the owner looked into it, and finally concluded the reason was because they put cats and dogs (e.g. died at veterinarians, iirc) in cat and dog food .. newspapers wrote about this, causing lawmakers to forbid this kind of practice. this was a few years before mad cow disease. for this reason, mad cow didn't hit that hard,

[17:33:23] ski here

[17:34:12] ski i remember my older brother pretending to be the high priest, attempting to rip out heart from chest

[17:34:46] ski but you like scary, no ?

[17:35:45] ski hello CrystalMath,sur

[17:37:08] ski toni : there were also a tribe on Papau Guinea, where they would eat the brains of diseased relatives .. iirc, they got hit by a similar prionic disease

[17:38:12] ski and some other tribe there were both head-hunters, and cannibals. for some reason, anthropologists found it hard to believe at first that you could be both

[17:38:30] ski (i don't think they ate the brain, though)

[17:39:19] ski sushi-chan : more like "silly scary", i suppose

[17:41:41] ski hm, haven't seen that one

[17:42:04] ski yea, i meant more ones that didn't try that

[17:42:45] ski more like ones that try to be scary, but accidentally do some things in a comical way

[17:44:36] ski it seems many larger horror games nowadays rely a bit too much on jumpscares

[17:45:15] ski yes .. slowly builting up mood, anticipation

[17:46:06] ski glad to hear, Miggy-Kun :)

[17:46:34] ski ihih

[17:48:47] ski "Plan 9 from Outer Space played on television in relative obscurity from 1961 until 1980, when authors Harry Medved and Michael Medved dubbed it the \"worst film ever made\" in their book The Golden Turkey Awards. Wood and his film were posthumously given two Golden Turkey Awards for Worst Director Ever and Worst Film Ever. It has since been retrospectively described as \"the epitome of so-bad-it's-good

[17:48:53] ski cinema\" and has gained a large cult following."

[17:49:21] ski g'evening

[17:49:26] ski take care

[17:50:02] ski heh

[18:04:05] ski heya Kuro-chan

[18:05:39] ski hope you're fine

[18:05:45] ski did any more baking ?

[18:07:55] ski perhaps you could DCC SEND a few :p

[18:08:16] ski white bread ?

[18:08:51] ski hot bread with butter and cheese is great. or marmelade and cheese

[18:12:16] ski i haven't baked bread in a long while .. perhaps i should try some soon

[18:13:28] ski hm, i'm not sure ? any particular ones you had in mind ?

[18:14:24] ski i've made bread in that bread maker machine. i've made scones. i've also made some breads in aluminium forms, but not too many times

[18:15:51] ski too compact can be a problem, yea

[18:16:27] ski better yeast ? or the process improved the leavening, somehow ?

[18:18:21] ski how long do those packages keep fresh ?

[18:18:46] ski ah, the dry powdery yeast

[18:19:11] ski (i've only used that for bread machine bread. otherwise i've used the usual small packets)

[18:19:28] ski never seen it sold in jars, here

[18:21:50] ski curious

[18:22:13] ski the cryovac is dry ?

[18:22:45] ski ok

[18:23:18] ski does the dough need to be specially kneaded or something ?

[18:24:07] ski (i mean, like how danish pastry dough is hardish to make .. at least for someone new)

[18:25:05] ski yea, i think the one we have is similar

[18:25:48] ski spices you like (in bread dough) ?

[18:27:04] ski i've used fennel, anise, powdered bitter orange peel .. with syrup

[18:27:21] ski hm, interesting

[18:27:46] ski mm, this was in bread with some rye flour in it, iirc

[18:29:20] ski would be interesting to try to make wort bread, some time

[18:31:30] ski <https://i.pinimg.com/originals/50/8c/21/508c2154b48a97e5a9dec5d452aaeb15.jpg>,<http://www.thefreshloaf.com/files/63428/wortbread.png>,<https://www.thefreshloaf.com/files/63428/wortbread2.png>,<https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/50/3b/73503b994ab8acd7049f74238bf8ac95.jpg>

[18:31:38] ski traditional christmas bread, here

[18:33:05] ski "Historically, this bread was leavened with fermented brewer's wort. Modern recipes do sometimes still use stout beer as an ingredient. The recipes vary, some replacing caraway with cardamom, or leaving out the orange peel; in the United States its most common form is an aromatic orange and spice loaf. Molasses adds color to the brown bread, made with a blend of rye and other flours. Other flours

[18:33:11] ski blended in with the rye, depending on the recipe, can include cornmeal, whole wheat flour or all purpose flour. To add the orange flavor orange oil or orange zest can be used."

[18:35:13] ski the second pic, maybe. the others, nah

[18:35:35] ski it's supposed to be darkish brown

[18:36:00] ski (and often people put raising in it, yes)

[18:58:03] ski what was the previous problems ? not raising enough ?

[19:09:56] ski not sure i've ever tried pumpernickel

[19:11:55] ski mhm

[19:12:01] ski no pumpkin seeds ?

[19:12:26] ski (the name makes me think of that)

[22:28:47] ski oy, ComputerTech !

[22:29:17] ski we were wondering where you were

[22:30:10] ski continuously ?

[22:30:18] ski they're working you to death, mate

[22:30:41] ski injuries ?

[22:32:06] ski but you don't have to do it aloud, right ?

[22:33:56] ski cat wants you to follow and look at something ?

[22:34:34] ski he might just be bored ..

[22:34:40] ski .. allow him his little games ?

[22:35:25] ski that's consideration

[22:40:24] ski furt_box, i believe you missed some letters

[22:41:39] ski hoya !

[22:51:34] ski Saphir : have a nagging feeling it dwindles when CT is mia

[22:56:05] ski ComputerTech : butbut .. how do you access them, then ?

[22:56:20] ski from phone ?

[22:56:48] ski connecting a real keyboard to phone ?

[22:57:17] ski oh, tablet

[22:57:39] ski word-completion ?

[22:58:16] ski is there even any GUI telnet clients, for smartphones ?

[22:58:25] ski ComputerTech : yay :)

[23:03:20] ski ComputerTech : er .. sorry, i meant the opposite of what i said

[23:03:30] ski apparently termed "hunt and peck"

[23:04:19] ski i used to only use the "pointing" fingers on each hand (minus modifiers), looking at keyboard for each key

[23:05:03] ski successively, i started getting muscle memory for roughly where on the keyboard each key where, and also started using more fingers, slowly

[23:05:23] ski at some point, i mostly looked at the keyboard when typing, only occasionally checking screen to correct typos

[23:05:45] ski by now, i mostly look at screen, fingers seem to be "drawn" to the correct keys

[23:06:04] ski (i still make typos i need to correct relatively often, though)

[23:06:42] ski "touch typing" usually refers to the "proper" way of typing, where you place hands in "home position", and each key is supposed to be struck by a particular finger

[23:06:49] ski (but i never learned this)

[23:07:36] ski sounds like we're probably doing something similar then, ComputerTech

[23:07:52] ski (although you may be faster .. i haven't bothered checking my speed, though)

[23:08:56] ski .. we did get some training in one school class to type. but every over class time (in another school), we got to use old typewriters rather than keyboards. they were very tiring for fingers to type on

[23:09:50] ski probably most of my speed increase is due to chatting on IRC for years

[23:12:09] ski "One study examining 30 subjects, of varying different styles and expertise, has found minimal difference in typing speed between touch typists and self-taught hybrid typists." <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typing#Techniques>

[23:23:22] ski membrane ?

[23:24:10] ski furt_box's

[23:34:42] ski ciao a tutti

[23:57:27] ski g'night, Saphir, pleasant dreams

[23:58:31] ski .. what would you do with bushes ?
