[00:38:03] ski ComputerTech : turmeric, black pepper, milk, butter. possibly basil, oregano, dill, or thyme

[03:33:03] ski i'm not sure tea makes me more alert or energetic, really

[03:35:02] ski smoke sounds bad

[03:35:37] ski might be an electrical malfunction .. or at least a mechanical one, i guess

[03:37:01] ski hm, i had a capacitor in a sewing machine explode on me ..

[03:38:02] ski .. went with it to a sewing machine repair man. he said that it was something they added, back then, to avoid interference with analog TV signals, and suggested i could just remove the capacitor, free of charge

[03:38:49] ski well, it was already dead

[03:39:03] ski (and i rarely use the sewing machine, anyway)

[03:39:27] ski if you place them in vacuum, maybe ?

[03:41:22] ski .quote search diarrhea

[03:45:59] ski do you think it's a matter of being over-tired enough, sushi-chan ?

[03:46:30] ski puking yourself is pretty unpleasant, as well

[03:49:23] ski there used to be a pop/soda drink (in flasks) here, for kids, that turned their tongue blue

[03:50:10] ski (called "Vira Blåtira", meaning "Vira blue/black eye". "Vira" supposed to be a girls name, presumably after "Vera")

[03:52:34] ski (if someone would ask me to do one, i'd flatly say "no". if they'd say i'm a coward, i'd say "sure, okay, i'm a coward. now what ?")

[03:53:32] ski well, you mentioned "challenges" (on YouTube, and i believe people on TikTok also do those things), sushi-chan

[03:55:06] ski sometimes, you can feed trolls until they explode

[03:59:15] ski bic : maybe try plugging the hard disk into another computer (or vice versa), and see if you can access it from a computer that does boot

[04:00:12] ski yea, booting from a live C/DVD/USB could also be an option, to investigate

[04:00:36] ski nah

[04:00:43] ski ComputerTech is the computer tech

[04:01:16] ski might be motherboard issue, or harddisk failure, or perhaps power failure, bic

[04:01:27] ski (or perhaps something else .. hardware isn't my strong side)

[04:03:45] ski if you're wanting to boot from an USB stick, i could suggest installing Ventoy on it. after that, you can just store the ISO file(s) you want to boot, on the stick, and it will present you with a menu to select which to boot from

[04:04:51] ski (so you can then still use the USB stick to store other stuff. and you don't have to redo the whole installing a new image process onto the USB, if you ever want to boot from another image later)

[04:06:25] ski c0ded : sure. just it's handy to be able to liveboot from an USB, e.g. if you wanted to do some partition restructuring, or whatever

[04:06:50] ski sushi-chan : did you "eject safely" the USB stick ?

[04:08:45] ski "usually expensive stuffs are good quality" -- sometimes it's not really much higher quality, possibly even low qualitu. more being a status thing. "look at me, i can afford throwing away money at things !" (Louis Vuitton (sp?), &c.)

[04:11:21] ski go sleepeat ?

[04:12:17] ski tomorrow, sushi-chan will wonder who put the pillow inside the fridge

[04:13:29] ski i suspect toilets aren't that tasty

[04:14:46] ski i remember some teacher showing us it was perfectly fine to drink the toilet water (from inside the back of the toilet, in the tank where the water is stored)

[04:16:06] ski i'm told girls don't poop

[04:16:10] ski so you're out of luck

[04:17:02] ski we could discuss murder snails instead

[04:18:30] ski someone was recently praising cold, snowless, winters, because then (more of) the snails in the ground die

[04:19:32] ski you know french people aren't this good at english, bic

[04:20:47] ski but surely "lol" is not french, right ?

[04:21:13] ski you don't have a french version of it ?

[04:21:36] ski ah. balance in the universe is restored

[04:22:48] ski why do they say "..." in manga and so ?

[04:23:05] ski nope, ezzep

[04:23:30] ski (although, occasionally, people do talk about tech, in here)

[04:24:51] ski here, i think Bic is some kind of cheap razor brand ?

[04:25:31] ski ezzep : we did have someone ask about a computer failing to boot, less than an hour ago .. getting some advice

[04:25:46] ski isn't that what i said, bic ?

[04:26:16] ski did you have smog, in France ?

[04:26:40] ski itym "sorry, not sorry" (hth)

[04:28:14] ski sushi-chan : they can be color blind .. it's just more rare (at least for the usual kind of red-green color-blindness. for males it's enough if they have the gene defect on their X chromosome. for females, they have two X chomosomes, and the gene is recessive, so they've got backup, needs to have failure on both genes for it to actually cause color blindness)

[04:29:35] ski sushi-chan : in fact, it's been argued that in some rare cases, female artists may have had the gene defect on one X chromosome, actually causing them to be able to see four (rather than three) primary colors (tetrachromacy), so that they see the world more richly (and presumably could then be able to paint more richly, in some cases)

[04:30:42] ski not sure about gingers. but iirc brown eyes is dominant, and blue or green (or grey) is recessive

[04:31:29] ski CrystalMath : what was Klinefelter's ?

[04:31:54] ski CrystalMath : yes. what does it affect ?

[04:32:31] ski would aliens from Avatar really invade the earth, though ?

[04:32:51] ski i see, CrystalMath

[04:33:20] ski green clothes, and cap .. that's Link

[04:33:47] ski "calico" is them having three colors in fur ?

[04:34:18] ski til

[04:34:45] ski they don't have ginger cats in France ?

[04:35:10] ski there's a lot of "gingers", in some places in asia

[04:36:44] ski cats have a mirroring layer behind their retinas, in their eyes, that reflect the light back so it passes the light-detecting cells in the retinas again. helps them see better in the dark. is why their eyes appear to glow in the dark (if you have a light close to you, or behind you, shining in their direction)

[04:38:19] ski i had a classmate, whose father used at a chemical factory. one time, his father took him out into the forest, and they made nitroglycerine, and they blew up a tree, for fun

[04:38:36] ski s/used/worked/

[04:41:24] ski sushi-chan : reminds me of some film, where rich people kidnapped some people, and set them on a race, for fun, allowing them to use any methods to get rid of their competitiors. only the winner would get the privilege of not being killed at the end

[04:42:46] ski in the end, one of those rich people got force fed an explosive ampule (like everyone of the competitors had been injected with) ..

[04:43:11] ski probably

[04:43:50] ski CrystalMath : hot dogs ?

[04:44:10] ski real ones are usually hot .. at least inside

[04:44:37] ski bic : not really. i never was too much into watching them in the first place (was years since i last watched one)

[04:45:00] ski gn, sushi-chan, pleasant dreams

[04:45:34] ski i've probably watched less than fifty films, in my life

[04:46:27] ski (i would say maybe twenty or thirty .. but that might be inaccurate, so better overshoot a bit, than undershoot)

[04:49:11] ski "Picnic at Hanging Rock" is a nice film

[04:50:06] ski by australian director Peter Weir in 1975 (iirc). written by Joan Lindsay in 1967

[04:51:10] ski about some girls at a girl boarding school (in Australia), in the year 1900, on Valentine's Day, who go for a picnic at the (volcanic site) "Hanging Rock" .. then something mysterious happens

[04:51:22] ski it's said that the film put australian filmmaking on the international map

[04:52:23] ski music is also nice, haunting

[04:52:42] ski both are good, i'd say

[04:53:31] ski yea, it's more a mystery kind of film

[04:54:31] ski last i checked, whole film is avilable on YT

[19:20:46] ski 9.7 °C sounds pretty cold, for indoors

[20:00:32] ski ComputerTech : she was, briefly

[20:02:06] ski hm .. "dave" backwards is "evad"

[20:02:43] ski (.. sounds like an old-fashioned spelling of "what"?

[20:14:06] ski santa, or satan ?
