[00:40:58] ski inf

[03:15:46] ski into a tree ?

[03:21:00] ski meow

[03:23:38] ski apparently chickens also like tuna

[03:26:14] ski penguins also dive and swim in the sea .. so, technically, they're fish ?

[03:26:46] ski (just like dophins, orcas, whales. and just like bats are birds)

[03:41:39] ski login : by the old definition ("Things that fly, and are not insects, are birds."), they are

[03:46:42] ski login : well, that's a detail

[03:46:54] ski also fish lay eggs. and Platypuses

[03:48:53] ski (noone tell him that it's empty)

[03:51:57] ski .. are you trying to say the "T" in "CT" really stands for "Terrarium" ?

[03:52:41] ski hm .. maybe !

[03:53:18] ski it's a container, for animals living on the ground

[03:53:31] ski like an aquarium is one, for animals living in water

[03:53:43] ski commonly it would also have glass walls

[03:53:56] ski could you offer CT a home in one of them, MatCat ?

[03:54:03] ski (and would you ?)

[03:54:33] ski or a mutual piece (of mind ?)

[03:55:10] ski i'm not aware of terraria big enough for a flock-o'-sheep

[03:55:45] ski .. now i'm wondering if there might be diseases which enter the body through the navel

[03:56:40] ski there was a tribe who lived in a valley, on Papua New Guinea. they used to each the brains of their passed away relatives. (for some reason, especially the women seemed to be into this)

[03:57:46] ski however, they started contracting a prior disease, similar to scrapie (which comes from eating sheep brain. similar to Jacob-Creutzfeld's disease, "Mad Cow disease", which you may contract, from eating cow brain .. probably also other ganglia in the body, like in bone marrow)

[03:58:49] ski over here, there was a cat owner, whose cat got sick (maybe passed away, can't recall). anyway, the owner figured out it was because they put ground up cadavers (including bones and brains) from the meat processing into cat and dog food

[03:59:38] ski there were articles written about this, and eventually a law was passed, which outlawed this practice. this was just a few years before the outbreak of mad cow's disease, starting in the U.K. .. because of this, that was never a big problem over here

[04:00:19] ski login : yes, prionic diseases

[04:01:21] ski (oh, they also put that meat processing, into food for cattle, btw. that was also stopped by the law)

[04:03:54] ski yep, for the most part

[04:04:31] ski (one might think that it might be obvious to not feed a special of animals dead parts from the same species .. but apparently not)

[04:06:24] ski .. presumably a vanishingly small, maybe infinitesimal, fraction, of the population distribution in here

[04:07:55] ski (but it might be interesting to think about how much a glitch change would affect the matrix .. and, for a change in the matrix, how big the corresponding change in the glitch causing it would be)

[04:09:41] ski hm, i don't think so ?

[04:09:50] ski (can't recall seeing that link before)

[04:09:56] ski hm

[04:11:07] ski (it might've been mentioned, around the time people were coming in daily in a programming channel, claimg the end was nigh, that the AI apocalypse was over us)

[04:17:52] ski well, congrats in that case, mrinfinity

[04:19:50] ski oh

[07:39:20] ski bonjour

[07:39:25] ski hehe :)

[07:40:17] ski do rascals make a racket ?

[07:41:36] ski (btw, sushi-chan. it's okay to be down, at times. we don't just like to talk to you when you've had coffee, is up)

[07:42:23] ski it is a "language calculator/predictor"

[07:43:01] ski it's like an average of what internet people in general (in the data it's been fed with) would answer

[07:43:19] ski and it usually does sound very confident about what it's saying, even if it's completely wrong

[07:43:23] ski (or subtly wrong)

[07:44:06] ski i've seen someone trip it up with something like `1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1'

[07:44:15] ski it gave the wrong answer

[07:45:25] ski sushi-chan : that's a cute bedtime story :P

[07:46:22] ski herald : a couple of weeks ago, there was an influx of people insisting that it would soon make every programmer, or at least most of them, superfluous

[07:46:30] ski herald : in a programming channel, i mean

[07:47:05] ski herald : you can't believe people would imagine such things ?

[07:47:14] ski sushi-chan : how did you get GPT to generate the story ?

[07:47:54] ski sushi-chan : where did you drop it ?

[07:48:21] ski herald : ah, right. sorry, you generated it. how ?

[07:48:59] ski herald : mhm

[07:50:20] ski herald : yea .. haven't really been interested enough to try

[07:50:33] ski sure, sushi-chan :)

[07:50:45] ski NiniGeo2 : .. you don't say ?

[07:51:14] ski (there's also <https://chanstat.net/stats/rizon/%23computertech>)

[07:52:00] ski sushi-chan keeps her spiders in the closet

[07:52:23] ski yeap

[07:52:50] ski do you have many robes in it ?

[07:53:04] ski oh, they get in there ?

[07:53:42] ski sushi-chan : oh, did i mention i saw a spider here, a few days ago ?

[07:54:00] ski sushi-chan : it came walking on my desk, suddenly (while i was sitting in a dark room)

[07:54:23] ski sushi-chan : it was maybe two to three centimetres long (with legs). i captured it with a cup, and a newspaper, then ran to throw it out

[07:54:30] ski no

[07:54:37] ski a thicker/meatier one

[07:55:14] ski although maybe a few weeks ago, i also had one of those long-legged cellar-type spiders lower itself in a thread just in front of my face

[07:55:35] ski (i captured the thread with something, and carefully carried it out, when it was hanging on its thread)

[07:56:02] ski do spiders kill monsters, though ?

[07:56:21] ski as long as they stay in their corner, i'm fine with them

[07:56:43] ski i remember one time i chased a fly into its web. the spider was quick to catch it

[07:57:16] ski sushi-chan is the spider lady

[07:57:49] ski sushi-chan : did you see the pic beside your name, at <http://stats.computertech.co/> ?

[08:00:48] ski did you know that, when you do that, you don't primarily become less scared, you become more courageous ?

[08:01:21] ski you learn you can tolerate things, can handle them

[08:01:42] ski (and as a result, you can also become more courageous, in other areas)

[08:02:34] ski of course, in your case, your aversal to arachnides turned into its opposite, too

[08:03:03] ski (voluntary exposure to things, in small doses)

[08:03:15] ski which stats ?

[08:03:16] ski oh

[08:03:30] ski i think it's generated by some bot

[08:03:55] ski <https://chanstat.net/stats/rizon/%23computertech> too .. but that one uses slightly different settings, in how it presents stats

[08:04:23] ski "Another lonely one was Computertech, who managed to hit 2067 times"

[08:05:26] ski although, maybe the <http://stats.computertech.co/> is a bit outdated

[08:05:33] ski good night, pleasant dreams, sushi-chan

[08:05:54] ski oh, sorry i misread

[08:06:30] ski (so i might be slightly incoherent, at times, i guess)

[08:06:43] ski stupid answer

[08:06:55] ski that's bad for your help

[08:07:08] ski if you don't sleep for too long, you can die, yes

[08:07:46] ski also, you start having microsleep. sleeping a few seconds at a time. even when walking. i've experienced this

[08:08:03] ski and, yes, i also saw dream imagery combined with what i saw with eyes

[08:08:17] ski i had been awake more than 48 hours

[08:08:21] ski i was walking home

[08:08:34] ski i fell asleep, kept walking, with my eyes open

[08:08:56] ski then woke up, wondered where i was. then started falling asleep again, confusing dream imagery with surroundings

[08:08:59] ski repeat

[08:09:11] ski yes, i hadn't drunk alcohol

[08:09:19] ski and i don't think i've ever been drunk

[08:09:30] ski here, Niameme ?

[08:10:36] ski i think some brain disorders can make it hard to sleep

[08:10:53] ski and i think i heard about someone who was unable to sleep, for a month or so

[08:10:58] ski but that's very rare, i think

[08:11:33] ski even if you sleep, but don't dream, that's usually bad

[08:11:43] ski (e.g. if you're woken up, every time you start dreaming)

[08:12:11] ski (most people dream every night. but very many remember almost none of those dreams)

[08:16:55] ski take care, sushi-chan

[15:27:54] ski Mikoolo looked to be first, from this end, fwiw

[15:30:14] ski earlier, apparently

[15:30:47] ski hm, now dove

[15:30:49] ski npot

[15:30:53] ski rook

[15:31:00] ski yah

[15:31:11] ski key west

[15:35:18] ski grüß gott

[15:35:41] ski .. i guess

[15:36:00] ski maybe others who want to be protected, should come and ask you for protection, h4

[15:36:19] ski yes, same thing

[15:37:15] ski hasn't been here, much, i think

[15:38:03] ski because of the car name ?

[15:39:50] ski hm, opping h4 didn't work

[15:40:14] ski (oh .. missed reopped)

[15:41:45] ski congrats, h4

[15:42:35] ski "Taiwan 'Hulk' rampages in 7-11 over protein snack | Taiwan News | 2023-05-21 10:52:00>" was the title

[15:42:59] ski but i doubt h4 would rampage over protein snacks

[15:43:38] ski yournamehere : .. ooh, that sounds interesting, now

[15:45:37] ski reminds me of some island, in the kuril island archipelago line, which doesn't have Phaenogamae (plants with flowers), just Cryptogamae (fern-like plant) .. including trees

[15:46:52] ski yournamehere : do you remember that it's called ?

[15:47:17] ski yournamehere : i would imagine it's only visitable for people with special permission, like botanist researches, &c.

[15:47:34] ski my brother visited Jan Mayen .. needed special permission for that, iirc

[15:47:43] ski also Spetsbergen

[15:47:59] ski yep

[15:48:39] ski you're required to have with you an arm, like a rifle, if you go out from the settlements, there

[15:49:09] ski yournamehere : also Wrangel's island would be neat, i think

[15:49:44] ski i remember watching a documentary, from Kamchatka, about a "bear man", who's walk up to wild bears, and greet them, for many years

[15:50:22] ski .. hm, now i wonder how clove is related to clover

[15:51:16] ski yournamehere : fwiw, my brother is a botanist

[15:52:05] ski hexadecimal is based

[15:52:14] ski (and sexagesimal)

[15:53:45] ski er, sorry, it was actually the other one

[15:54:21] ski the Latin Bardcore versions of those two, are quite nice

[15:54:39] ski they's singing in latin, like medieval bards. plucking their string instruments

[15:55:20] ski (reminds me there's also an inn, in Conker's Bad Fur Day, named The Cock & Plucker)

[15:59:03] ski Unum Duo Tria Quattuor Quinque Sex Septem Octo Novem Finis

[16:00:40] ski Ab omnibus expectatur lux Timete, nolite timere Sol effulget oculis meis Non descendit hodie Mundus Numerat in decem

[16:01:43] ski Huc sol advenit Huc sol advenit Clarissima stella stellarum Huc sol advenit

[16:02:53] ski Sol effulget manibus meis Potest cermare, vos caecare Et lux effulgens expugno Jacét in visu calida

[16:05:42] ski Nec descendit hodie Denuo mundus numerat Unum Huc sol advenit Duo Huc sol advenit Tria Clarissima stella stellarum Quattuor Huc sol advenit Quinque Huc sol advenit Sex Huc sol advenit Septem Clarissima stella stellarum Octo Novem! Huc sol advenit

[16:05:48] ski of course i do, Mikoolo :)

[16:06:26] ski (well, probably enough of lyrics from that one, in here. you get the point)

[16:08:38] ski (hm, "of course you do" reminds me of the Duchess, in "Alice: Madness Returns", when she was talking about how pig snouts makes everything better, wondering whether Alice also thought so)

[16:14:56] ski that one kinda reminds me of the third comic album of "Les Compagnons du Crepuscule" ("The Companions of Twilight") by François Bourgeon, being "Le Dernier Chant des Malaterre" ("The Last Song of the Malaterres"), Mikoolo .. the story takes place during the hundred years war between England and France, in France. Bourgeon did research quite a bit to get outfits, houses, &c. look appropriate for the

[16:15:02] ski time peroid

[16:15:08] ski Mikoolo : anyway, nice song :)

[16:16:34] ski the story is such that you'll often find yourself flipping back pages, to double-check, trying to figure out what's happening. parts of the story is also qyite dreamy, you're not always sure what is waking and what is dreaming

[16:17:51] ski not told ComputerTech directly

[16:20:11] ski C64 does just `\r', for what's worth

[16:24:42] ski ArchWiki ?

[16:26:48] ski symlink `sh' to `tcsh', problem solved

[16:28:35] ski it would be sending different stuff, depending on the user agent, i suppose

[16:29:03] ski (well, s/would/could/, although that also works)

[17:44:38] ski key ?
