[04:10:48] ski no 404 here

[10:49:53] ski (removed ?)

[11:20:24] ski you were downing shots, with the gilded duck

[11:44:41] ski goeie more

[12:02:37] ski /whois

[14:13:18] ski ouch :(

[14:20:19] ski hope it doesn't get infected, End3r

[14:30:10] ski one-sided ?

[14:31:20] ski before you joined

[14:33:04] ski check `/mode #chat b', or something ?

[14:33:56] ski try `/quote mode #chat b', then ?

[14:34:34] ski checked server/network tab/window ?

[14:35:17] ski ought to list all the bans on the channel

[14:35:22] ski yea, i just checked that

[14:42:38] ski looks like the ban's on specifically you

[14:43:37] ski maybe they don't like Kiwi clients, and have a bot that bans due to that

[14:44:34] ski mhm, could be, too

[14:45:17] ski (oh, and this channel isn't really about asking about computer technology, btw)

[14:45:39] ski heh

[14:45:46] ski well, that's BNC

[14:46:38] ski oh .. i thought you said you could, before

[14:49:17] ski (bbiab)

[15:46:39] ski (iirc "sin" in greek literally means "to miss the target" (as in archery))

[15:52:25] ski dunno what "vagitatius" is

[15:52:56] ski ah

[15:53:07] ski someone mentioned <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratio> earlier, in another channel

[15:58:10] ski "nut handle" ?

[15:58:31] ski ah

[16:02:19] ski "The womens' name Disa is an old norse name, meaning wyrd/fate goddess. The name is also a short form of Hjördis and other names with the suffix -dis, which is the old west norse term for a kind of female divine beings (amongst other things the goddess Freya is also called 'Vanadis', i.e. 'dis of the Vanes')."

[16:03:12] ski abend

[16:03:44] ski greek ?

[16:04:15] ski it can be quite interesting to learn about, at times

[16:04:22] ski just a minute ?

[16:04:34] ski hah, okay :)

[16:06:03] ski what kind of balance ?

[16:07:42] ski as a child, or young, one can blame parents for stuff. at some point, one has to take command and responsibility oneself, though

[16:08:29] ski sometimes it seems like an elaborate joke

[16:17:06] ski punched the wall ?

[16:18:26] ski one can try setting an alarm half an hour to an hour earlier, and keep a notebook with pencil within reach, so one can write down dream memories without having to move (which usually makes it evaporate)

[16:20:27] ski *nod*, fair enough

[16:20:48] ski ever lucid dream ?

[16:23:18] ski well, it means you become aware, while dreaming, that you're in a dream. often it means that you can "end the dream script", and, to varying extent, control the dream. some people (like my brother) like to fly around, or explore, or talk to dream characters, sometimes trying to convince them that they're a part of a dream

[16:24:11] ski some people apparently can visualize problems they're working on, as in a 3D model, in front of them, in a lucid dream, looking at it from different angles, identifying weaknessess in a design, solving problems, &c.

[16:26:37] ski one chemist discovered the molecular structure of benzene in a dream (dreaming of six imps holding hands in a ring, dancing around. benzene consists of six carbon atoms in a circle, each with two hydrogen atoms attached to it)

[16:28:02] ski Descartes apparently claimed that an angel in a dream told him that the way to master nature was to convert geometry to arithmetic. then he went on to invent/discover the coordinate system, which gave rise to calculus and analysis, and physics as a science

[16:29:15] ski (and obviously there's the common phrase of "sleeping on a matter/problem", to possibly gain more insight. presumably letting the subconscious work on the problem, after having gathered data by exploring, and struggling with the problem. taking a walk, or doing something else, unrelated, can also help, at times)

[16:29:28] ski lo

[16:32:03] ski someone likened it to a campfire, representing knowledge. at the edges of the circle of light is the dreams, fantasies, that poets, artistic and creative people explore, at the boundary of the known. trying to understand half-grasped patterns, trying to bring them into consciousness (the light) .. which may show that they're just fool's gold, nonsense; but occasionally will yield a useful idea that pans

[16:32:09] ski out in practice

[16:34:21] ski yea .. ever noticed how when you're in a creative state of mind, someone abruptly interrupting you (for say a few minutes) with something irrelevant can make you lose your whole fragile mind context, making you unable to resume for at least say half an hour to an hour afterwards ?

[16:34:52] ski being stressed also tends to make such an associative state of mind much harder to maintain

[16:35:04] ski interesting

[16:39:30] ski hm, do you thikn you've developed this over time, from only a weak ability, or were you pretty good at this, to begin with ?

[16:40:14] ski would commonly help with hyperfocus, yes

[16:40:36] ski not all people on the spectrum are that good at multi-tasking like that, though

[16:41:52] ski well .. this isn't really a computer technology channel

[17:09:26] ski "To Err is Human; To Really Foul Things Up Requires a Computer" -- Paul Ehrlich,American scientist (1926 - )

[17:19:14] ski (i've heard a version "AI in, ...", recently)

[17:34:43] ski nice, End3r :)
