[03:21:57] ski/rizon bonjour

[03:25:47] ski/rizon End3r is just expressing satisfaction with their earlier meal, surely ?

[03:26:28] ski/rizon yea, no need to worry, sushi-chan

[03:27:24] ski/rizon there were some people wondering about you, but there's nothing wrong with doing other stuff

[03:28:20] ski/rizon did you stop drinking coffee for a while, lately ?

[03:30:43] ski/rizon sushi-chan : try adding the last part that Angel missed, too

[03:30:49] ski/rizon i think a lot of people missed you

[03:31:23] ski/rizon but we're happy to see you. no need to feel embarressed for wanting somw away time

[03:32:43] ski/rizon foxy : i've currently had some downtime for some other channels i've been in, for months .. i'll be back, eventually

[03:32:49] ski/rizon s/had/having/

[03:34:29] ski/rizon eyes, foxy ?

[03:35:43] ski/rizon i've heard of azerty .. but not sure i'd recalled it was specifically in France

[03:36:14] ski/rizon don't german keyboards also have some keys swapped ?

[03:36:33] ski/rizon (where's h4, when you need him ? :)

[03:36:51] ski/rizon yea .. i know

[03:39:01] ski/rizon well .. it's understandable that people would assume that

[03:39:18] ski/rizon xanax ?

[03:39:25] ski/rizon scoliosis ?

[03:39:47] ski/rizon my newphew has that .. although i suspect not as worse as you

[03:41:58] ski/rizon .. reminds me, in a fantasy series, there was a lady with big bones (and muscles), who decided to walk over the back of a man, who had back pains. he said she killed him, but apparently, in the book, it did help him

[03:42:07] ski/rizon haha :P

[03:42:44] ski/rizon (she ordered him to lie down on the floor, on his stomach .. and i guess he didn't dare to refuse)

[03:42:54] ski/rizon nah, not film, it's a book series

[03:43:18] ski/rizon it's fun to read .. but not really that sophisticated or anything

[03:43:30] ski/rizon i don't think that's necessarily true

[03:43:56] ski/rizon there are a lot of people who are book-smart, who don't know to apply things, and don't e.g. have "street-smarts"

[03:44:53] ski/rizon hehe .. well, yea

[03:45:18] ski/rizon yea .. although, naturally, it would be .. yea, rarer

[03:47:12] ski/rizon the series was "The Mallorean" (three books), by David Eddings. but if you (in general) are going to read it, you should read "The Eleniad" (iirc) first, since it sets out the main characters

[03:48:09] ski/rizon it's sortof a stupid generic fantasy recipe of young person has to leave home, goes on quest to find magical artefact, meets people along the way, blabla .. but as such, it's not a particularly bad example, i think

[03:49:19] ski/rizon hm .. in Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Damned, they eat (iirc frozen ?) monkey brain

[03:50:03] ski/rizon also, there's the whole stuff about prionic diseases, like mad cow disease, and the sheep one (scrapie ?)

[03:50:40] ski/rizon ComputerTech : i dunno why they'd call it meat (same goes for stuff like kidneys, lungs, liver, ..)

[03:51:08] ski/rizon i can eat liver, or even kidney .. but it's not meat

[03:51:14] ski/rizon i don't particularly like it

[03:51:44] ski/rizon ComputerTech : would you eat haggis ?

[03:52:49] ski/rizon ComputerTech : nah .. it's the stomach bag (or how you call it), of a sheep, i think. filled with mixture of rice, meat, vegetables, &c. .. the package is knotted shut, then boiled

[03:52:53] ski/rizon ComputerTech : at least, iirc

[03:52:59] ski/rizon ComputerTech : scottish speciality, i think

[03:53:30] ski/rizon there might be pescatarian alternatives, ComputerTech ?

[03:53:46] ski/rizon like fish instead of meat, inside of it ?

[03:53:56] ski/rizon foxy : in french ?

[03:55:25] ski/rizon japanese typically don't eat much dairy, right ?

[03:56:04] ski/rizon i recall someone arguing in here that pineapple, or anschovis, doesn't belong on pizza

[03:56:27] ski/rizon foxy : like a pudding, kinda ?

[03:57:20] ski/rizon what's that ?

[03:58:29] ski/rizon ah, ty

[03:59:43] ski/rizon foxy : it looks nice enough. i probably wouldn't turn down trying it (unless if i know it was too spicy, i guess)

[04:00:57] ski/rizon it looks yummy, sushi-chan :)

[04:01:46] ski/rizon sushi-chan : hm, kinda reminds me of birjani

[04:02:38] ski/rizon indian dish, with rice, and meat (usually chicken, i think ?) .. and veggies and stuff

[04:02:44] ski/rizon also in south-east asia, i think

[04:04:26] ski/rizon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biryani>

[04:05:23] ski/rizon those balls look interesting, foxy

[04:07:53] ski/rizon (i remember listening to some jacksepticeye video, where he talked about Korea, and he said kimchi was delicious)

[04:09:45] ski/rizon .. i wonder if "mbap" is a syllable, or if it's just "bap"

[04:17:15] ski/rizon poor spiders

[04:17:30] ski/rizon ah, ty

[04:18:36] ski/rizon hm .. reminds me that someone said that those rice grains that they throw around, at weddings, that birds eat those, and then the grains swell in their stomaches, and the birds die

[04:18:43] ski/rizon i dunno if that's true, though

[04:20:05] ski/rizon wouldn't you love a romatic spider wedding ?

[04:20:30] ski/rizon with say bride veil spun from spider thread ?

[04:21:30] ski/rizon (two sisters, who loved spiders)

[04:23:46] ski/rizon i heard it suggested that the idea that Medusa (and her sisters, Stheno and Euryale) turned people to stone (also basilisks did that), had to with the freeze, fight, or flight instinct

[04:24:31] ski/rizon or if you hear the bell ringing, that's attached to the hand of the departed in the coffin

[04:24:57] ski/rizon ComputerTech : still at 3 ?

[04:25:12] ski/rizon sushi-chan : better to be cremated then, eh ?

[04:25:46] ski/rizon iirc, in Tibet, they've had aerial burial

[04:26:08] ski/rizon sushi-chan : well .. there's a computer game where something like that can happen

[04:26:32] ski/rizon hello FireWire

[04:28:19] ski/rizon sushi-chan : ah, right. the game was called "The Mortuary Assistant"

[04:28:35] ski/rizon not too bad of a horror game

[04:28:53] ski/rizon i'm fine, ty :b

[04:29:20] ski/rizon we're especially happy now that sushi's returned :)

[04:29:43] ski/rizon good night to ya, End3r. take care of your back

[04:30:11] ski/rizon ah, enbalming

[04:30:51] ski/rizon well .. don't you want to think about people will say about you, after you've passed, when they come visit your corpse ?

[04:31:43] ski/rizon apparently, they put the organs in separate jars, beside the body

[04:31:56] ski/rizon there's also mummies in the Andes

[04:32:32] ski/rizon (including child mummies, who most likely were drugged, and then left high up a mountain, bound, and left to dry in the wind)

[04:33:24] ski/rizon .. also there's the thing with Japanese buddhist monks, who let themselves be shut away, meditating while they withered away, with no food and water

[04:33:36] ski/rizon (maybe also in China, i dunno)

[04:33:57] ski/rizon they found one such monk, inside a statue, when they X-rayed it

[04:34:43] ski/rizon laughing about it is quite normal, sushi-chan :)

[04:35:04] ski/rizon yea, that's what i meant

[04:35:28] ski/rizon all the burial ceremonies .. they are for the living

[04:36:27] ski/rizon heya CrystalMath :)

[04:38:29] ski/rizon sushi-chan : it's partly to bind their communities together, to remember and celebrate their loved departed ones, to inspire people to take after their good deeds, &c.

[04:38:54] ski/rizon that's partly a recurring theme, for all sacrifices

[04:39:19] ski/rizon that's interesting, sushi-chan

[04:40:06] ski/rizon i'm sure there's a lot of such things, that westerners wouldn't think of ..

[04:40:24] ski/rizon .. and presumably, vice versa, at least some examples of such weird things we do, without thinking about it

[04:41:26] ski/rizon do they use spoons much, in Japan ?

[04:42:01] ski/rizon or do they soak up liquidy stuff with like bread or something else that's akin in that resepct ?

[04:42:11] ski/rizon what do they use for bibimbap ?

[04:42:19] ski/rizon ah, spoons, you said

[04:42:35] ski/rizon bamboo, usually ?

[04:43:08] ski/rizon reminds me of the whole cast iron pot thing

[04:43:32] ski/rizon oh, is it pine, in Japan ?

[04:43:48] ski/rizon maybe some harder wood

[04:43:57] ski/rizon aluminium ?

[04:44:19] ski/rizon mm

[04:44:35] ski/rizon water ? or food stains ?

[04:44:55] ski/rizon i'd have imagined that if it was hard wood, not much would stick

[04:46:07] ski/rizon apparently, in middle ages, if someone had lost a lot of blood (like accident, or soldier, or period), they could get recommended to stick an iron nail into an apple, over night. then next day, remove the nail, and eat the apple. then repeat each following day

[04:46:56] ski/rizon yupyup

[04:48:00] ski/rizon i dunno, like falling off a wall, or whatever, that involved an exterior larger wound ?

[04:49:21] ski/rizon there must have been accidents at construction sites, smithies, &c.

[04:49:46] ski/rizon well, they could get exhausted

[04:50:36] ski/rizon like during the cultural revolution in China, when they tried to scare away sparrows from eating grain, and the sparrows got exhausted and dropped dead. and then bugs and stuff multiplied, iirc

[04:51:04] ski/rizon there's some bird, which flies out from northern america, into the pacific ocean, for days, to get to some small islands

[04:52:10] ski/rizon apparently researchers first thought it shouldn't be possible for them to make that journey. but because of the formation they fly in, the ones before the lead bird can use upwind spirals being the wings of the bird in front, and so not need to exhaust themselves as much. and they take turns being the lead

[04:52:59] ski/rizon sushi-chan

[04:53:25] ski/rizon .. just some stuff sticks to my mind a bit, i guess .. if i find it interesting enough

[04:53:59] ski/rizon (conversely, if i don't find it interesting, i have a hard time learning it, even if i know it would be useful)

[04:54:26] ski/rizon i've never really been able to just cram facts

[04:54:52] ski/rizon most preferably, i want explanations. that makes it way easier to learn and remember

[04:55:08] ski/rizon but if i use some stuff enough, then eventually, it starts to stick

[04:56:03] ski/rizon (perhaps related to me having trouble visualizing anything at all)

[04:56:18] ski/rizon i don't think it's too uncommon, FireWire

[04:56:56] ski/rizon they used to have to learn to recite poems and stuff by heart, in school

[04:57:14] ski/rizon my mother is apparently quite good at memorizing stuff

[04:57:30] ski/rizon yea .. i think some people are able to do it better. but certainly not all

[04:58:02] ski/rizon we tend to assume that people have mostly similar-functioning minds .. but i think that's most likely false

[04:58:25] ski/rizon there could still be rather large groups of people, with large similarities, within each group .. but large differences between groups

[04:58:55] ski/rizon .. but we lack vocabulary to discuss such things .. we can't exactly look at someone else's mind and see how it works differently

[04:59:01] ski/rizon well, there's that, dramo

[05:00:02] ski/rizon a *lot* of what people say and think, are to a large extent mostly copied from other people

[05:00:11] ski/rizon (including for myself, of course)

[05:01:08] ski/rizon sushi-chan : or they resort to spreading rumours

[05:01:52] ski/rizon what's he doing ?

[05:02:51] ski/rizon why ?

[05:03:04] ski/rizon he got insecure, about her ?

[05:04:26] ski/rizon did some noise from the shower alert him to it ?

[05:04:51] ski/rizon .. some people get paranoid

[05:06:50] ski/rizon i've seen old mirrors with what looks like cracks in the reflective surface at the back

[05:06:57] ski/rizon while the glass is still intact

[05:07:23] ski/rizon .. i wonder what's the cause of that

[05:09:18] ski/rizon hm, is that like a TikTok challenge ?

[05:10:07] ski/rizon c0ded : i guess i'd try to deescalate. but perhaps, if he's being bone-headed enough, he needs a reality-check

[05:10:53] ski/rizon hm, what's the Bloody Marry challenge ?

[05:11:17] ski/rizon sushi-chan : oka .. well, i try to stay away from TikTok stuff

[05:11:55] ski/rizon you should never try to follow or please too many people at once

[05:13:16] ski/rizon never heard :)

[05:14:04] ski/rizon is that like Kuchisake-onna, or somesuch ?

[05:14:55] ski/rizon hm, there's apparently also some such rumor/legend, about hearing someone in the bathroom stalls, at night, asking for toilet paper, i think

[05:15:05] ski/rizon 口裂け女, "Slit-Mouthed Woman"

[05:16:14] ski/rizon a malevolent figure in Japanese urban legends and folklore. Described as the malicious spirit, or onryō, of a woman, she partially covers her face with a mask or other item and carries a pair of scissors, a knife, a machete, or a sword. She is most often described as having long, straight, black hair, pale skin, and otherwise being considered beautiful (except for her scar). She has been d

[05:16:20] ski/rizon contemporary yōkai.

[05:16:48] ski/rizon well, i don't recall exactly. either the spirit gets angry, if you don't hand them the paper. or angry if you do, or both

[05:17:26] ski/rizon apparently, Kuchisake-onna, at least in the story i heard, was a woman who got cheated on by her husband

[05:19:05] ski/rizon c0ded : well, i guess better than him being that stupid

[05:19:36] ski/rizon sushi-chan : pretend you didn't hear, and leave quickly ?

[05:19:51] ski/rizon well, the toilet paper thing was not related to Kuchisake-onna, fwiw

[05:20:15] ski/rizon i heard GabSmolders mention the toilet paper ghost thing, while she was playing some horror game

[05:20:44] ski/rizon (also heard about Kuchisake-onna, in another game she played. they had a version of Kuchisake-onna, in that game. it took place in Tokyo)

[05:21:02] ski/rizon she's a great fan of japanese horror (and horror in general). has lived in Japan

[05:21:53] ski/rizon she's quite relaxing to listen to, when she's playing games .. i've seen comments from people saying they're too scared to play the game, but with watching her, it's relaxing

[05:21:59] ski/rizon yea

[05:22:03] ski/rizon and interesting lore

[05:22:10] ski/rizon and building atmosphere

[05:22:51] ski/rizon yea

[05:23:07] ski/rizon well .. i dunno. maybe some people would claim that

[05:23:22] ski/rizon she doesn't go out of her way to try to make what you'd think of as ASMR content. she's just being herself

[05:24:03] ski/rizon have a nice meal :)

[05:24:09] ski/rizon and nice to see you again :D

[05:24:54] ski/rizon (you made our day)

[05:26:15] ski/rizon poor toni

[06:26:07] ski/rizon heya Kuro-chan :)

[06:27:03] ski/rizon hope you're fine

[06:27:39] ski/rizon well, better than not, i suppose :p

[06:29:11] ski/rizon np

[22:17:59] ski/rizon heya

[22:20:44] ski/rizon and you ?

[22:25:48] ski/rizon hehe :)

[22:26:02] ski/rizon (what's it supposed to do ?)

[22:32:58] ski/rizon can't spiders also make noise with their legs ?

[22:34:18] ski/rizon according to urban legend, some people who've bought a baby alligator have flushed it down, when it starts to get a bit too big to handle

[22:41:14] ski/rizon i guess that makes sense, sushi-chan

[22:41:36] ski/rizon (trying to help someone else with a question, right now, hence why i'm being a bit intermittent)

[22:44:12] ski/rizon iiuc, Tumblr is female-dominated. maybe Instagram too, to a lesser extent ?

[22:45:28] ski/rizon dumbgoy : heh (the pic) :p

[22:46:00] ski/rizon what is, Ahsoka ?

[22:49:16] ski/rizon sushi-chan : aren't there those very small vehicles, that younger people can drive. sometimes with just three wheels ?

[22:50:44] ski/rizon ComputerTech : no, in EU countries .. perhaps it's just in some

[22:53:19] ski/rizon sushi-chan : this isn't you, right "The Closing Shift | 閉店事件 (Japanese indie horror)" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uabM6qwC6YE> ?

[22:54:15] ski/rizon sushi-chan : yea, i know, just teasing a little :b

[22:55:36] ski/rizon they made what ?

[22:55:50] ski/rizon ah, yea

[22:57:03] ski/rizon sushi-chan : or imagine relatives installing a livecam inside the coffin

[22:57:37] ski/rizon after a while in the coffin, you might look like Eddie ?

[22:58:08] ski/rizon moment

[22:58:23] ski/rizon yes

[23:00:12] ski/rizon if someone hits you with like a blade, it'll just pass through the dust

[23:02:40] ski/rizon probably, sushi-chan

[23:02:46] ski/rizon although might taste bad

[23:03:33] ski/rizon https://cdn.wallpaperjam.com/static/images/m/21/41/2141b671a027e1db10d0a3b314cec5c5d25abe13.jpg

[23:05:13] ski/rizon Elizabeth Bathory bathed in blood

[23:06:06] ski/rizon nini, Miggy-Kun

[23:06:37] ski/rizon sushi-chan : probably cause of brain damage ?

[23:07:08] ski/rizon higher cognitive faculties might deterioate before the lower, more animalistic, ones

[23:08:05] ski/rizon Ahsoka : what, ComputerTech's face is a joke to you ?

[23:08:33] ski/rizon sushi-chan : perhaps they require a more sophisticated, "fine-grained" network of connections

[23:09:27] ski/rizon sushi-chan : i mean, more "brute-force" brain connections might survive longer, due to not being as fine-grained

[23:10:52] ski/rizon sushi-chan : imagine like a cap, or gloves, or a sweater, made from coarse thick wool threads, contra one made from thin slender silk thread

[23:12:05] ski/rizon if you put a sharp knife against a silk linen, it might easily break, slice. but with a thick woolen thing, it'll probably hold at least somewhat better

[23:12:23] ski/rizon e.g., c0ded :)

[23:12:34] ski/rizon sponges are animals

[23:13:15] ski/rizon fake grass isn't really comfortable to walk on

[23:13:44] ski/rizon c0ded : well .. how about bavarian white ?

[23:14:02] ski/rizon what's it about ?

[23:14:20] ski/rizon in a vat ?

[23:15:02] ski/rizon there used to be a big old jar, at the natural science museum here, with a dead baby with two heads in it

[23:15:26] ski/rizon immersed in formaldehyde, iirc

[23:16:22] ski/rizon CT's extended family travelled around ?

[23:16:33] ski/rizon yea

[23:16:38] ski/rizon i recall seeing it, as a kid

[23:17:03] ski/rizon not sure if it still exists, somewhere in the museum collections

[23:17:54] ski/rizon hm, there's a japanese yokai, that's basically just a huge head. said to sometimes fall/jump down from high up the trees in a forest, possibly crushing you, if you're not careful

[23:18:58] ski/rizon .. there's also a popular (but quite controversial) song here, about a siamese twin pair, one of whom has cerebral palsy

[23:19:47] ski/rizon "18 arms, eleven legs, 17 kg scrotum marble stones"

[23:22:06] ski/rizon sushi's not really interested in any of that, apart from joking around

[23:22:41] ski/rizon c0ded : "ha ha, only serious" jokes are quite fun

[23:23:50] ski/rizon ranch ?

[23:24:08] ski/rizon carrot waffles

[23:24:14] ski/rizon carrot sorbet

[23:26:17] ski/rizon egg, to keep it sticking together

[23:26:41] ski/rizon eating beetroot, your pee will become reddish

[23:27:08] ski/rizon play pool in the water pool

[23:27:57] ski/rizon .. now i'm wondering if there's anything that makes it green

[23:28:17] ski/rizon eating weed cakes ?

[23:28:27] ski/rizon have a nice meal, ComputerTech

[23:29:14] ski/rizon sushi-chan : i could imagine some vampires to be picky, and, say, only go for blood type B

[23:29:45] ski/rizon c0ded : baby shit can be green, i think

[23:30:12] ski/rizon i think i have a metal necklace thing, with blood type information, somewhere

[23:31:02] ski/rizon "Hi doctor, i'm only here because i wonder what my blood type is, and wondering which type vampires prefer."

[23:33:11] ski/rizon g'night, sushi-chan, pleasant dreams :)

[23:34:10] ski/rizon a lot of them makes no sense

[23:34:38] ski/rizon i think some countries choose a different timezone, just to spite their neighbour country

[23:35:12] ski/rizon (also because some leaders feel like lording over people's time)

[23:36:41] ski/rizon time and calendars are horribly complicated

[23:37:19] ski/rizon like there's calendars where sometimes you skip a date, going say directly from the 14th to the 16th .. or repeating the same date number twice in a row

[23:37:34] ski/rizon (that has to do with the varying distance of the moon to earth)

[23:40:36] ski/rizon which is 00:40

[23:41:56] ski/rizon my brother has a wrist watch which is set to true sun time (so it's 12:00 when the sun is at its highest)

[23:42:22] ski/rizon well .. he's quite into calendars

[23:43:01] ski/rizon he's been corresponding with researchers who in one way or another get to interact with calendars. and he's suggested a classification scheme, for calendars

[23:43:44] ski/rizon (and a four-letter code scheme, to name specific calendars, as well)

[23:44:27] ski/rizon .. calendars aren't exactly what i'm most interested in. but it's fun to discuss it with him, once in a while, and some of that rubs off on me, i guess

[23:45:24] ski/rizon superkuh : ham radio ?

[23:46:03] ski/rizon listen to the solar wind ?

[23:46:51] ski/rizon that's interesting

[23:47:57] ski/rizon that would make the activity greater

[23:48:58] ski/rizon close to five and a half year, between high and low ?

[23:50:03] ski/rizon i thought the sun switched poles every eleven years, roughly

[23:52:02] ski/rizon (and the activity being greatest, inbetween it having a stable polar orientation)

[23:52:44] ski/rizon wouldn't that make it roughly 5.5 years from high activity to low activity, and then 5.5. from low to high, again ?

[23:52:48] ski/rizon maybe i'm confused
