[15:06:19] superkuh/rizon The only winning move is not to play.

[15:22:28] superkuh/rizon It's a strange game.

[15:22:56] superkuh/rizon These are all "WarGames" movie quotes.

[22:48:35] superkuh/rizon You can drive at any age too. Just not on public roads.

[22:49:49] superkuh/rizon Negative liberty rocks.

[22:52:53] superkuh/rizon I remember being the youngin' on IRC. Enjoying it while you can.

[22:52:58] superkuh/rizon -ing

[23:36:09] superkuh/rizon I recently tried to write a little alarm script for an IRC movie night. I decided to try to use a simple hack to handle just the user's time zones and that was a huge, huge mistake. Eventually I gave up and used unix date to handle TZ conversion. But internally all epochtime/unixtime.

[23:40:39] superkuh/rizon I have multiple clocks showing different tzs on the top right of my desktop.

[23:42:10] superkuh/rizon Now *that's* "based".

[23:43:34] superkuh/rizon I have local and UTC on my desktop. UTC because that's what solar radio telescopes mark up their data in and what my local radios log in.

[23:43:55] superkuh/rizon So my 2nd clock is also for the sun in a way.

[23:44:32] superkuh/rizon I'll leave ELF transmitting to the experts.

[23:45:41] superkuh/rizon ski, technically I'm licensed but I just listen to the sun.

[23:45:54] superkuh/rizon I use the license so I can transmit to test filters, etc.

[23:46:33] superkuh/rizon ski, no. But sometimes my setups pick up the radio emission of coronal mass ejections or electron beams escaping upwards into the solar wind.

[23:46:43] superkuh/rizon As the density goes down so does the frequency.

[23:46:50] superkuh/rizon (well, and the magnetic field)

[23:47:28] superkuh/rizon High! :D

[23:48:57] superkuh/rizon On average. http://www.solen.info/solar/ is a great page to track the cycle(s).

[23:49:15] superkuh/rizon ~11 years between high and low. 22 year cycle.

[23:49:51] superkuh/rizon Although in practice people call each half cycle a new cycle.

[23:49:57] superkuh/rizon So, ~11.
