IRC Driven

[12:26:49] @ ski/rizon talk, sometimes

[12:26:55] @ ski/rizon fool around with ducks

[12:27:50] @ ski/rizon (needed that shower anyway .. it's too hot)

[12:28:21] @ ski/rizon hm ?

[12:28:38] @ ski/rizon what're you trying to do ?

[12:29:59] @ ski/rizon i'm not sure if there's any bot in here which understands a `!set' command

[12:30:37] @ ski/rizon everything you've said is white, on my end

[12:31:26] @ ski/rizon perhaps mIRC has something where it can interpret a message that you send to a channel (or nick), also as a command for how it displays stuff .. i dunno

[12:31:35] @ ski/rizon (many years since i last used mIRC)

[12:32:31] @ ski/rizon .. anyway, i'd suggest you find a better way to tell mIRC which color it should display stuff in .. since, if you continue like this, people are bound to find all the `!set color ...' commands annoying

[12:32:59] @ ski/rizon ah .. i stand corrected :)

[12:33:14] @ ski/rizon good, we have an expert

[12:34:42] @ ski/rizon well, in comparision to me, you probably are :p

[12:35:43] @ ski/rizon heathen :)

[12:38:32] @ ski/rizon sabah el-nour

[12:39:09] @ ski/rizon pleased to meet you

[12:39:50] @ ski/rizon sadly, no. i've only picked up a few phrased. my mom studied arabic for a few semesters

[12:40:24] @ ski/rizon hm .. maybe ?

[12:42:27] @ ski/rizon (misclick ?)

[12:43:47] @ ski/rizon it's the ducks i mentioned

[12:44:04] @ ski/rizon a duck appeared, just before you accidentally

[12:44:18] @ ski/rizon you'll have to wait until the next duck appears

[12:44:40] @ ski/rizon deadly already shot the duck

[12:45:12] @ ski/rizon oh, and since your gun is confiscated, you'll have to wait until someone shoots a duck, at which point your gun will be returned to you

[12:45:30] @ ski/rizon (there's also a few people you can explicitly return it to you, but i dunno if they're around at this moment)

[12:45:49] @ ski/rizon .. anyway, i think people talking makes it more likely that a duck will appear

[12:46:09] @ ski/rizon ah .. when you speak of the trolls :)

[12:46:26] @ ski/rizon (now we just have to wait for someone to shoot that duck)

[12:47:19] @ ski/rizon the command is `rearm', fwiw

[12:47:33] @ ski/rizon there you go

[12:47:42] @ ski/rizon you're already rearmed

[12:47:55] @ ski/rizon because duckscarf shot the duck

[12:48:09] @ ski/rizon ok, .. i think you're a little bit too trigger happy

[12:48:42] @ ski/rizon you couldn't have shot it anyway, since you had no gun

[12:49:01] @ ski/rizon duckscarf was helping you, by shooting it. since that gave you back the gun

[12:49:14] @ ski/rizon if you do `!bang', it'll tell you

[12:49:41] @ ski/rizon but if you have a gun, and there is no duck at the moment, your gun will be confiscated (maybe sometimes it doesn't happen, not sure)

[12:50:09] @ ski/rizon hm .. "duck points"

[12:50:20] @ ski/rizon it increases your experience level

[12:50:28] @ ski/rizon you can then buy stuff in the hunter shop

[12:50:44] @ ski/rizon you can get infrared detector, e.g.

[12:51:09] @ ski/rizon or you can stuff scrap into someone else's gun, making their shot go haywire

[12:51:16] @ ski/rizon and various other stuff

[12:51:20] @ ski/rizon try `!shop' ?

[12:51:56] @ ski/rizon some of these things are things that you do to other people

[12:52:00] @ ski/rizon er ..

[12:52:13] @ ski/rizon .. i don't think so, but how would i know for sure ?

[12:52:36] @ ski/rizon maybe we're all bots in here (you too) ?

[12:52:53] @ ski/rizon northern europe

[12:53:39] @ ski/rizon unfortunately, summer is coming, and then it'll not be cool enough

[12:53:55] @ ski/rizon (or it's already here, maybe .. it's a bit hazy)

[12:54:35] @ ski/rizon how hot is it, where you are ?

[12:55:00] @ ski/rizon here, it's currently 19 °C (outdoors)

[12:55:12] @ ski/rizon (a bit cloudy today, otherwise it would be hotter. and it's rained)

[12:55:16] @ ski/rizon hm, do what ?

[12:55:17] @ ski/rizon oh

[12:55:25] @ ski/rizon /me nods and smiles

[12:55:34] @ ski/rizon try it, yourself ?

[12:56:20] @ ski/rizon yep, it's called an "ACTION". it's usually used to describe an action you're doing, or describe some property of yourself. note that you should use *third*-person to describe yourself

[12:56:40] @ ski/rizon i'm sorry to hear

[12:57:07] @ ski/rizon (but yea, i know you can tolerate it better than us ice-dwellers ;)

[12:57:28] @ ski/rizon guten tag, toni

[12:57:52] @ ski/rizon uh .. someone who lives in an ice cave, perhaps ?

[12:58:05] @ ski/rizon or perchance an igloo, with ice bears walking the streets

[12:58:38] @ ski/rizon wie gehts ?

[12:59:20] @ ski/rizon nah, my german is very bad

[12:59:37] @ ski/rizon (and i think most people in here don't speak it)

[13:00:01] @ ski/rizon it means "how goes it ?"

[13:00:32] @ ski/rizon where, where ?

[13:01:38] @ ski/rizon i'm a birdwatcher

[13:01:53] @ ski/rizon i let others do the shooting

[13:02:06] @ ski/rizon e.g. this one ^

[13:02:44] @ ski/rizon i think you have to say the nick of the person, after the command ..

[13:02:56] @ ski/rizon .. and only a few people can use it, as i said above

[13:03:17] @ ski/rizon (i'm not one of them)

[13:03:57] @ ski/rizon https://web.archive.org/web/20160109083336/http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/archives/99dec/uf001320.gif

[13:04:07] @ ski/rizon ^ how i tend to feel about the sun

[13:05:28] @ ski/rizon shoot

[13:06:08] @ ski/rizon hum

[13:06:22] @ ski/rizon i think you may be able to configure it like that

[13:06:29] @ ski/rizon but it probably doesn't happen, on its own

[13:06:52] @ ski/rizon i think many IRC clients support adding to an autojoin channel list

[13:07:02] @ ski/rizon my guess is that mIRC does

[13:07:06] @ ski/rizon well, take care

[13:07:12] @ ski/rizon fun chatting with you :)

[13:07:41] @ ski/rizon (perhaps you should write down the channel name, if you're unsure)

[13:46:46] @ ski/rizon .. what's hard about that ?

[13:52:43] @ ski/rizon perform the sacrament

[13:55:30] @ ski/rizon isn't that a bit .. insensitive ?

[13:57:23] @ ski/rizon you'll need to add trigger warnings to that command

[14:00:53] @ ski/rizon i didn't know jokes were such costly enterprise

[14:30:12] @ ski/rizon bonjour

[14:40:17] @ ski/rizon being ?

[14:40:38] @ ski/rizon hoy, blitzed

[15:23:42] @ ski/rizon you quack !

[16:00:32] @ ski/rizon (s/doing/during/ ?)

[16:01:44] @ ski/rizon mhm, ok

[16:03:42] @ ski/rizon what is most insufferable about running the meetings ?

[16:04:53] @ ski/rizon i've seen people say that it can be hard to learn to delegate properly

[16:05:20] @ ski/rizon although, i figure possibly more basic managerial skills are what you're running your head into, atm

[16:06:07] @ ski/rizon hm .. but you still have time over ?

[16:06:17] @ ski/rizon (i mean, as a team)

[16:06:56] @ ski/rizon "we are running out of tasks" -- for a project, i presume. are you supposed to continue working for the project, but aren't sure of what to do ?

[16:07:26] @ ski/rizon (perhaps i'm misunderstanding)

[16:08:59] @ ski/rizon mhm, i see

[16:09:08] @ ski/rizon sounds good

[16:12:27] @ ski/rizon needing more people, as a consequence of the Ansible automation, or other factors ?

[16:17:28] @ ski/rizon mhm. for what reasons can it be nerve-wrecking ?

[16:20:37] @ ski/rizon yea, i can well understand that

[16:21:40] @ ski/rizon (although i think it's possible to get better at it, with observation, reflection, experience .. it sure is slow, though)

[16:22:03] @ ski/rizon Ahsoka : i don't think i even understand that :|

[16:23:59] @ ski/rizon i know that some people, when they're standing in front of other people, doing some kind of presentation or so, put their gaze a little above the heads of the participants/audience

[16:24:31] @ ski/rizon although i'm not sure to what extent that would work, with people sitting around a table (say), since they're closer

[16:26:22] @ ski/rizon nice :)

[16:26:37] @ ski/rizon fried, i presume ?

[16:27:28] @ ski/rizon that's also nice :)

[16:27:51] @ ski/rizon several times, i've intended to make omelette .. but ended up making scrambled eggs, instead

[16:29:47] @ ski/rizon one can e.g. put shrimps in it

[16:29:54] @ ski/rizon once i used mussles

[16:30:26] @ ski/rizon oh, i've also used minced mackarel, often. with (powdered) bell pepper, and some green spices

[16:31:22] @ ski/rizon you don't like them ?

[16:31:49] @ ski/rizon europe

[16:32:32] @ ski/rizon i think i probably wouldn't enjoy raw octopi

[16:32:40] @ ski/rizon (like they apparently eat in Korea)

[16:33:13] @ ski/rizon are you near the coast, Piba ?

[16:33:26] @ ski/rizon yea, haven't tried them, either

[16:34:08] @ ski/rizon hehe :)

[16:34:52] @ ski/rizon well, i guess i've been raised in a region that did much seafood, too

[16:35:27] @ ski/rizon although i don't eat it that often (i forget about it) .. well, apart from fish

[16:36:30] @ ski/rizon the region my mum's from (which is a little bit north of here), had poor farmland, so most families were involved in fishing

[16:38:03] @ ski/rizon however, the weremen were out in their boats, fishing, but didn't always come home with much of anything. for that reason, the women came to be regarded as more reliable in the culture, which is a reason for women from that region traditionally being strong (willed, &c.)

[16:38:26] @ ski/rizon i enjoy it, but don't do it too much

[16:38:49] @ ski/rizon (partly because i don't enjoy the sun that much)

[16:39:25] @ ski/rizon i've sometimes swimmed out to some islands a few hundred metres off the coast

[16:40:00] @ ski/rizon hm, "gallego" ?

[16:40:24] @ ski/rizon mm .. yea :/

[16:41:00] @ ski/rizon (i guess i've swimmed more in the sea, than in pools. some times also in a few lakes, but that was years ago)

[16:41:46] @ ski/rizon you like doing competitions ?

[16:43:00] @ ski/rizon competing with yourself ?

[16:43:05] @ ski/rizon hehe :)

[16:43:29] @ ski/rizon (mostly, i don't like participating in competition)

[16:44:07] @ ski/rizon the only sport i participated in, as a kid, outside of school, was orienteering

[16:44:43] @ ski/rizon where you navigate over the terrain, with a map and compass, going from A to B to C, deciding which is the best way to proceed

[16:45:15] @ ski/rizon but i never attempted to outrun others. sometimes i walked, sometimes i ran, at whatever pace i saw fit

[16:47:22] @ ski/rizon (but yes, i agree self-confidence is important. and if i'm competing, i'm most likely to compete against myself. but i do see the point/utility of competition in general .. it just doesn't fit well with my personality(

[16:47:46] @ ski/rizon hehe

[16:49:53] @ ski/rizon mumble

[16:50:25] @ ski/rizon we were #5 before ?

[16:50:33] @ ski/rizon Piba is working on upping the channel rank

[16:51:21] @ ski/rizon perhaps some others take max breaks

[16:51:52] @ ski/rizon (so that they're on here for a longer time, but then also off for a longer time)

[16:53:37] @ ski/rizon hmm .. regarding food, i wonder if sushi likes escargot

[16:54:46] @ ski/rizon Piba

[16:55:32] @ ski/rizon staring out the window, now and then, is good

[16:56:03] @ ski/rizon (or taking a promenade, or some other way to destress, disassociate, daydream, let your mind wander and reflect)

[16:56:20] @ ski/rizon she's outside ?

[16:56:38] @ ski/rizon hehe :P

[16:57:07] @ ski/rizon she'd rather you come to her, i gather

[16:57:41] @ ski/rizon "look, when i do this command, she listens and comes here, does my bidding"

[16:58:29] @ ski/rizon it's nature

[17:01:07] @ ski/rizon and now, daniel ?

[17:01:41] @ ski/rizon (we're part of nature, too)

[17:02:27] @ ski/rizon (although we tend to forget that. but one could also argue that parts of what we do is really disjoint from nature. but we still participate in nature, as well. we're still animals, even if we've got civilization)

[17:03:00] @ ski/rizon agreed

[17:03:16] @ ski/rizon (related to the forgetting part)

[17:03:21] @ ski/rizon bonsoir

[17:04:21] @ ski/rizon Piba : crows are smart birds

[17:04:28] @ ski/rizon corvidae in general are

[17:04:55] @ ski/rizon (not many ravens or rooks around here)

[17:06:51] @ ski/rizon h4 : hehe, re "just", i didn't say we're "just" part of nature. i think we clearly aren't. but the point was that people often inappropately apply exclusive categorizations. (e.g. people, for some reason, often get offended, if you refer to humans as animals, or think it's something bad)

[17:07:41] @ ski/rizon <ski> hmm .. regarding food, i wonder if sushi likes escargot

[17:07:54] @ ski/rizon (from ten minutes before you joined)

[17:10:18] @ ski/rizon h4 : yea, i'm of a similar mind (re animals, primates)

[17:13:24] @ ski/rizon coffee in cakes or chocolate is okay

[17:13:29] @ ski/rizon (but i don't drink coffee)

[17:14:51] @ ski/rizon rope weed

[17:15:34] @ ski/rizon i heard someone say that THC could be detrimental to some medical conditions, while CBD, otoh, can be the other way around (e.g. to the same conditions)

[17:16:13] @ ski/rizon h4 : what do you mean, you're not supposed to tie your wrists and ankles with it ?

[17:18:13] @ ski/rizon h4 : too late, spiders have already been given weed. see the web on the right for the effect (left is without weed) <https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/NINTCHDBPICT000421528775.jpg>

[17:18:19] @ ski/rizon (from <https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/6818187/nasa-spider-webs-drugs-lsd-marijuana/>)

[17:21:46] @ ski/rizon they'll probably scuttle away, i'd imagine

[17:21:58] @ ski/rizon hm, there's cave spiders who have atrophied eyes, i think

[17:23:00] @ ski/rizon spiders can fly, using a long spider thread with a ball in the end, as a sortof sail in the wind

[17:23:30] @ ski/rizon they climb up a high tree, and wait for the wind to pick up

[17:23:40] @ ski/rizon can fly some number of kilometres, at least

[17:23:52] @ ski/rizon probably more, considering spiders reaching distant isles

[17:24:31] @ ski/rizon yea, hunting spiders can jump. some use a thread with a sticky bit at the end as a lasso, to catch insects

[17:25:30] @ ski/rizon h4 : obviously the question was rhethorical :p

[17:26:24] @ ski/rizon h4 : you might think so

[17:26:42] @ ski/rizon no

[17:27:00] @ ski/rizon i answered your last question :p

[17:27:43] @ ski/rizon that's funny and cute, sushi-chan :)

[17:28:13] @ ski/rizon (might even have been worth taking a pic of it, if for nothing else than to remember yourself)

[17:30:18] @ ski/rizon what about cold or so ?

[17:30:56] @ ski/rizon hm, can spiders feel embarassed ?

[17:31:37] @ ski/rizon this is an important scientific question. someone(s) should fund and do research on this

[17:32:22] @ ski/rizon i doubt it would find the nasal cavity a suitable dwelling

[17:32:52] @ ski/rizon look how cute it is

[17:34:14] @ ski/rizon konbanwa, Kuro-chan

[17:35:31] @ ski/rizon (it's dead, jim)

[17:36:06] @ ski/rizon it's not for you, Kuro

[17:36:20] @ ski/rizon (well, unless you fancy mothfood ?)

[17:37:25] @ ski/rizon oh, it wasn't intended to be play, but a sacrifical offering

[17:37:51] @ ski/rizon (the moth, that is)

[17:38:22] @ ski/rizon channel activity is crazy, tonight

[17:38:53] @ ski/rizon hehe, h4

[17:39:08] @ ski/rizon we did miss you, Kuro-chan

[17:39:19] @ ski/rizon (as we missed h4)

[17:39:37] @ ski/rizon h4 : yea, where did that guy go ?

[17:40:09] @ ski/rizon h4 : guy fawkes, maybe ?

[17:40:29] @ ski/rizon ComputerTech could probably tell

[17:41:29] @ ski/rizon Piba : what can you buy with 5 pounds ?

[17:43:14] @ ski/rizon don't you eat croissants for breakfast, sushi-chan ?

[17:44:02] @ ski/rizon Kuro-chan : surrexit hodie

[17:45:22] @ ski/rizon with almonds, Kuro-chan ?

[17:46:20] @ ski/rizon sounds delish, Kuro-chan :)

[17:55:04] @ ski/rizon sushi-chan : spinash lasagna isn't bad

[19:03:58] @ ski/rizon yes

[22:20:02] @ ski/rizon my midnight is just fine, ty
