[00:18:21] ski/rizon Goo Goo Dolls ?
[00:26:19] ski/rizon bonsoir
[00:26:38] ski/rizon the name reminded me of "GoGo dancing" ..
[00:29:04] ski/rizon heya :)
[00:29:15] ski/rizon hope you're doing fine
[00:30:04] ski/rizon oh .. i was off-chat for a while
[00:39:44] ski/rizon and the moon and the sun
[00:40:33] ski/rizon i remember seeing some Micecraft world where there was no solid ground, just space, with some floating cubic planets
[00:43:43] ski/rizon "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 corne
[00:43:49] ski/rizon 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/rizon heya CrystalMath
[00:44:07] ski/rizon it's a quote from WikiPedia
[00:45:46] ski/rizon heh, that waterslide reminds me of people doing very high waterfalls in Minecraft
[00:46:04] ski/rizon also, people have considered making space elevators
[00:47:26] ski/rizon 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/rizon hm .. i think Venus may have rain .. but of other things than water, iirc
[00:48:35] ski/rizon 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/rizon hm, well .. there is something called the "solar wind". but it's not a wind in the ordinary sense
[00:50:15] ski/rizon (it causes the northern (and southern) lights)
[00:54:23] ski/rizon hm, Mars has some (water) snow at the poles, i think
[00:54:58] ski/rizon several of the outer moons have methane ice, iirc
[00:55:20] ski/rizon not sure i've heard about methane snow
[00:56:54] ski/rizon 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/rizon hello rtn0
[00:57:40] ski/rizon smoking ?
[00:58:00] ski/rizon is that a module tracker program ?
[01:04:35] ski/rizon "Schism Tracker is a free and open-source reimplementation of Impulse Tracker, .." <https://schismtracker.org> -- ah, as i suspected
[01:05:33] ski/rizon i'd never !
[01:08:13] ski/rizon also used Intuitracker .. still needs to install that under UAE
[01:08:50] ski/rizon it used an ordinary WorkBench window
[01:10:10] ski/rizon sushi-chan : iirc, that YT video about Pluto also mentions water volcanoes
[01:12:30] ski/rizon oh, Schism Tracker is based on ModPlug
[01:14:08] ski/rizon well .. when the lava reaches the sea, a lot of steam is produced
[01:15:09] ski/rizon 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
[01:16:03] ski/rizon i could imagine a tsunami washing away a lava stream, if it was powerful enough
[01:16:33] ski/rizon heh, fish soup :)
[01:17:18] ski/rizon 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/rizon 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/rizon it's interesting how often the soil becomes more nutrient-filled, near volcanoes
[01:20:20] ski/rizon g'night, socraticDev
[01:21:01] ski/rizon 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/rizon 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/rizon that sounds nice, socraticDev
[01:22:48] ski/rizon .. 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/rizon (also reminds me of the game "Martha is Dead", socraticDev ..)
[01:44:49] ski/rizon peas for the seas, fleas to tease
[01:45:09] ski/rizon what's that approach, Kuro-chan ?
[01:47:26] ski/rizon baking powder ?
[01:48:24] ski/rizon you let the dough rest a bit ?
[01:48:28] ski/rizon right
[01:54:33] ski/rizon egg penciled on top of the dough ?
[01:58:12] ski/rizon 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/rizon rtn0 : well, the page said so ..
[02:01:40] ski/rizon "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/rizon did you compose any, in trackers, rtn0 ?
[02:03:39] ski/rizon that's cool :)
[02:05:37] ski/rizon hm .. apparently Beethoven continued to compose music, after becoming deaf
[02:06:50] ski/rizon there's a song about a super-handicapped person ..
[02:08:03] ski/rizon did Jeanne Calmant stay physically and mentally active ?
[02:08:53] ski/rizon enyc : reminds me i should try to (re)build XMMS (and build UADE plugin for it)
[02:09:28] ski/rizon my mothermother became 99 .. she lived at home until around two years before that, i think
[02:10:21] ski/rizon yea, i want old-school XMMS
[02:10:40] ski/rizon (and i certainly do *not* want a "media library")
[02:11:20] ski/rizon lady luck favors some more than others, yea
[02:13:36] ski/rizon 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/rizon haven't seen them before
[02:17:29] ski/rizon after they said they'd ignore, they stopped referring to you, sushi-chan, that i recall
[02:17:58] ski/rizon could just be someone who was momentarily annoyed by you seemingly coming out of the blue and making that joke
[02:21:16] ski/rizon yea, could mix some tar into the core
[02:21:24] ski/rizon (but what about umami ?)
[02:22:16] ski/rizon .. are there any umami candies ?
[02:22:34] ski/rizon coffee-flavored chocolate is nice
[02:22:54] ski/rizon (coffee in chocolate, and in cake, is the only coffee i ingest)
[02:23:26] ski/rizon how young, sushi-chan ?
[02:23:56] ski/rizon CT's still in Poland ?
[02:24:19] ski/rizon hehe
[02:24:58] ski/rizon hope there were some sweetener, or maybe milk/cream, in that, rather than just black
[02:26:42] ski/rizon well, guess that works, too
[02:27:33] ski/rizon well .. e.g.
[02:28:02] ski/rizon your hair would probably stand on all ends, after drinking the coffee
[02:28:33] ski/rizon (sortof like the Gianna sisters, after having a power-up, in that game)
[02:28:51] ski/rizon how come, CrystalMath ?
[02:29:25] ski/rizon briefly ?
[02:31:39] ski/rizon 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/rizon well, i guess CT is busy earning uncome for network or something
[02:35:24] ski/rizon er, s/uncome/income/
[02:36:24] ski/rizon sushi-chan : never saw that, either
[02:38:47] ski/rizon not water, soysauce
[02:39:09] ski/rizon (well ok, perhaps some water from the maize, and the trout)
[02:40:00] ski/rizon are you sure there aren't mobile veggies ?
[02:40:59] ski/rizon (46 °F here, atm)
[02:41:47] ski/rizon 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
[02:42:55] ski/rizon 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
[02:44:01] ski/rizon (i forget what the tree one was called)
[02:44:54] ski/rizon Africa is a song, no ?
[02:47:08] ski/rizon iirc, "Africa" originally referred only to some northern parts
[02:47:30] ski/rizon there was a roman general called Scipio Afrikanus, after he won some battles there
[02:48:45] ski/rizon iirc, "Asia" is after some princess
[02:50:25] ski/rizon blarg
[02:54:07] ski/rizon (initially, i thought it referred to someone from the Caucasus, like say around Georgia, Armenia, the like)
[02:59:10] ski/rizon hm, there's apparently a "Devil's Crater" in (iirc) Arizona
[12:09:39] ski/rizon .. first time i saw IRC (mIRC, specifically), was some turkish girl happily chatting away, in the school library computer room
[17:08:45] ski/rizon toni : und mit röstwiebeln?
[17:09:09] ski/rizon hehe :)
[17:09:35] ski/rizon (fwiw, that is "fried onion")
[17:10:04] ski/rizon you should also learn "Ich trinke Alkohol", sushi-chan
[17:11:14] ski/rizon there's a song which goes "Jawohl, jawohl ! Ich trinke Alkohol. .. Ich trinke keine Wasser, ich trinke Alkohol, jawohl, jawohl !"
[17:12:20] ski/rizon 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/rizon but yes, sushi-chan
[17:13:07] ski/rizon where did "chein" come from ?
[17:13:34] ski/rizon "eine kleine beine"
[17:14:05] ski/rizon toni : ah, so es kommt auf Dänemark ?
[17:18:25] ski/rizon hehe
[17:20:56] ski/rizon <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/rizon "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/rizon heh
[17:27:34] ski/rizon "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/rizon apparently testicles are considered a delicacy, in some places
[17:31:03] ski/rizon (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/rizon 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
[17:33:23] ski/rizon here
[17:34:12] ski/rizon i remember my older brother pretending to be the high priest, attempting to rip out heart from chest
[17:34:46] ski/rizon but you like scary, no ?
[17:35:45] ski/rizon hello CrystalMath,sur
[17:37:08] ski/rizon 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/rizon 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
[17:38:31] ski/rizon (i don't think they ate the brain, though)
[17:39:19] ski/rizon sushi-chan : more like "silly scary", i suppose
[17:41:41] ski/rizon hm, haven't seen that one
[17:42:05] ski/rizon yea, i meant more ones that didn't try that
[17:42:45] ski/rizon more like ones that try to be scary, but accidentally do some things in a comical way
[17:44:36] ski/rizon it seems many larger horror games nowadays rely a bit too much on jumpscares
[17:45:15] ski/rizon yes .. slowly builting up mood, anticipation
[17:46:06] ski/rizon glad to hear, Miggy-Kun :)
[17:46:34] ski/rizon ihih
[17:48:47] ski/rizon "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-
[17:48:53] ski/rizon cinema\" and has gained a large cult following."
[17:49:21] ski/rizon g'evening
[17:49:26] ski/rizon take care
[17:50:02] ski/rizon heh
[18:04:05] ski/rizon heya Kuro-chan
[18:05:40] ski/rizon hope you're fine
[18:05:45] ski/rizon did any more baking ?
[18:07:55] ski/rizon perhaps you could DCC SEND a few :p
[18:08:16] ski/rizon white bread ?
[18:08:51] ski/rizon hot bread with butter and cheese is great. or marmelade and cheese
[18:12:16] ski/rizon i haven't baked bread in a long while .. perhaps i should try some soon
[18:13:28] ski/rizon hm, i'm not sure ? any particular ones you had in mind ?
[18:14:24] ski/rizon 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/rizon too compact can be a problem, yea
[18:16:27] ski/rizon better yeast ? or the process improved the leavening, somehow ?
[18:18:21] ski/rizon how long do those packages keep fresh ?
[18:18:46] ski/rizon ah, the dry powdery yeast
[18:19:11] ski/rizon (i've only used that for bread machine bread. otherwise i've used the usual small packets)
[18:19:28] ski/rizon never seen it sold in jars, here
[18:21:50] ski/rizon curious
[18:22:13] ski/rizon the cryovac is dry ?
[18:22:45] ski/rizon ok
[18:23:18] ski/rizon does the dough need to be specially kneaded or something ?
[18:24:07] ski/rizon (i mean, like how danish pastry dough is hardish to make .. at least for someone new)
[18:25:05] ski/rizon yea, i think the one we have is similar
[18:25:48] ski/rizon spices you like (in bread dough) ?
[18:27:04] ski/rizon i've used fennel, anise, powdered bitter orange peel .. with syrup
[18:27:22] ski/rizon hm, interesting
[18:27:46] ski/rizon mm, this was in bread with some rye flour in it, iirc
[18:29:20] ski/rizon would be interesting to try to make wort bread, some time
[18:31:38] ski/rizon traditional christmas bread, here
[18:33:05] ski/rizon "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
[18:33:11] ski/rizon 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/rizon the second pic, maybe. the others, nah
[18:35:35] ski/rizon it's supposed to be darkish brown
[18:36:00] ski/rizon (and often people put raising in it, yes)
[18:58:03] ski/rizon what was the previous problems ? not raising enough ?
[19:09:56] ski/rizon not sure i've ever tried pumpernickel
[19:11:55] ski/rizon mhm
[19:12:01] ski/rizon no pumpkin seeds ?
[19:12:26] ski/rizon (the name makes me think of that)
[22:28:47] ski/rizon oy, ComputerTech !
[22:29:17] ski/rizon we were wondering where you were
[22:30:10] ski/rizon continuously ?
[22:30:18] ski/rizon they're working you to death, mate
[22:30:41] ski/rizon injuries ?
[22:32:06] ski/rizon but you don't have to do it aloud, right ?
[22:33:56] ski/rizon cat wants you to follow and look at something ?
[22:34:34] ski/rizon he might just be bored ..
[22:34:40] ski/rizon .. allow him his little games ?
[22:35:25] ski/rizon that's consideration
[22:40:24] ski/rizon furt_box, i believe you missed some letters
[22:41:39] ski/rizon hoya !
[22:51:34] ski/rizon Saphir : have a nagging feeling it dwindles when CT is mia
[22:56:05] ski/rizon ComputerTech : butbut .. how do you access them, then ?
[22:56:20] ski/rizon from phone ?
[22:56:48] ski/rizon connecting a real keyboard to phone ?
[22:57:18] ski/rizon oh, tablet
[22:57:39] ski/rizon word-completion ?
[22:58:16] ski/rizon is there even any GUI telnet clients, for smartphones ?
[22:58:25] ski/rizon ComputerTech : yay :)
[23:03:20] ski/rizon ComputerTech : er .. sorry, i meant the opposite of what i said
[23:03:30] ski/rizon apparently termed "hunt and peck"
[23:04:19] ski/rizon i used to only use the "pointing" fingers on each hand (minus modifiers), looking at keyboard for each key
[23:05:03] ski/rizon 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/rizon at some point, i mostly looked at the keyboard when typing, only occasionally checking screen to correct typos
[23:05:46] ski/rizon by now, i mostly look at screen, fingers seem to be "drawn" to the correct keys
[23:06:04] ski/rizon (i still make typos i need to correct relatively often, though)
[23:06:42] ski/rizon "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/rizon (but i never learned this)
[23:07:36] ski/rizon sounds like we're probably doing something similar then, ComputerTech
[23:07:52] ski/rizon (although you may be faster .. i haven't bothered checking my speed, though)
[23:08:56] ski/rizon .. 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/rizon probably most of my speed increase is due to chatting on IRC for years
[23:12:09] ski/rizon "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/rizon membrane ?
[23:24:10] ski/rizon furt_box's
[23:34:42] ski/rizon ciao a tutti
[23:57:27] ski/rizon g'night, Saphir, pleasant dreams
[23:58:31] ski/rizon .. what would you do with bushes ?
