[17:46:41] login Mau5a: That was my field of study, embedded systems development

[17:47:45] login Peorth: we are ComputerTech's NPCs in his journey towards becoming a computer technologist

[17:50:20] login Who do you hang out with in person, ComputerTech?

[17:50:23] login Other than family?

[17:50:52] login where does one make friends?

[17:51:02] login are you going to bars, parties, or conferences or something like that?

[17:51:24] login work mates are not friends though, especially if you're their boss/boss's family

[17:52:19] login h4: you keep in contact with them even if they were to become your former colleagues?

[17:52:55] login That's good, h4

[17:53:27] login Since ComputerTech is the boss, only ones he can bond with as a friend are other bosses

[17:53:40] login future boss perhaps

[17:53:57] login I mean, if your employees piss you off, they will find their career limited

[17:54:15] login Do some of your employees piss you off?

[17:54:34] login but you can't replace them?

[17:54:41] login He notes it in their file

[17:55:57] login the boss being calm in the face of insults is because he's been socialised that way

[17:57:33] login That's why he's so reserved

[17:57:41] login If he raises his voice, it means someone really fucked up

[17:58:20] login I don't think he gets angry

[17:58:25] login He just gets amused

[17:58:46] login well, enough money and not enough work removes most triggers

[17:58:56] login plus, not enough contact with different kinds of people

[17:59:16] login not enough contact with different people whose customer he isn't

[17:59:56] login I know us talking like this pisses him off more than just outright insults

[18:00:16] login The more legitimately and in more meta a way one discusses it, the closer CT gets to feeling pissed

[18:00:46] login CT would do well with learning all aspects of the business

[18:01:08] login accounting, risk, legal, operations, sales etc.

[18:01:33] login i thought we were edging computertech to an angry explosion

[18:01:53] login inadvertently

[18:02:28] login I got him to agree that talking about him in a meta or sarcastic way instead of outright insults actually does make him feel self-conscious

[18:02:48] login What were your interests growing up, ComputerTech?

[18:03:04] login Were you into math, science, physics, biology, accounting, business, criminology?

[18:03:20] login Arts, history, language, sociology? could be general too

[18:03:38] login Did you see a career counsellor when close to adulthood?

[18:04:22] login science -> math, physics, geography, language somewhat

[18:04:26] login What do they add up to?

[18:05:02] login Lost languages, archaeology

[18:05:13] login Experimental economics is a field too though

[18:05:30] login if there are no experiments or tests, it's not science

[18:05:42] login he wants a sugar pill

[18:06:02] login You might have an app in Poland that allows you to link your bank account and can front you the money

[18:06:05] login payday loans

[18:06:44] login Yes, it can ruin your finances

[18:06:48] login if you misuse them

[18:07:12] login h4: you don't have payday loan apps in Germany?

[18:08:32] login tell the physiotherapist so they have all the info about the meds not working

[18:09:17] login wow, seems serious if a year's physiotherapy hasn't improved it

[18:11:21] login charge:mass, what's this unit for?

[18:20:32] login Null_Anonymous: you'll get refilled within 24 hours

[18:20:50] login Oh yeah, allotment

[19:03:50] login it, too, shall pass

[19:35:06] login ^

[19:36:21] login You did ??? instead of !!!

[19:36:53] login Make sure your niece does her reading and math

[19:37:34] login reading = bedtime stories, but also puzzle books

[19:38:02] login it's the right time to play with words and numbers

[19:38:41] login also, handwriting and typing

[19:39:13] login you're helping her develop her literature and reading comprehension skills

[19:40:18] login math, numeracy, puzzle solving skills will be good too, just to expand her horizon of skills and interest

[19:40:50] login perhaps something in the arts too - singing or an instrument

[19:40:58] login or drawing etc.

[19:41:10] login yup, piano would be good too

[19:41:28] login reading musical notation too

[19:41:42] login but that's implicit

[19:42:34] login no

[19:43:41] login are there dual language story books for 5-year olds?

[19:44:20] login she been introduced to the computer?

[19:44:27] login typing on a keyboard etc.?

[19:44:52] login you'd be surprised, some parents will only let young children use an ipad

[19:45:59] login parlez-vous lol

[19:46:41] login MAGIC has got it right

[19:47:27] login He is the sponsor, is he?

[19:48:08] login h4 will learn French from MAGIC

[19:48:59] login wouldn't it be better for ComputerTech to take a German tour?

[19:49:39] login perhaps you can show him around germany for half the trip

[19:49:49] login and he could show you ireland for the second half

[19:53:55] login ire land

[20:19:12] login why was DuckHunt reset?

[20:19:56] login oh

[20:23:49] login Esjay: the expectation of living is leaving a legacy

[20:42:21] login Esjay: your messages here might remain in the logs of at least someone here

[20:43:24] login he did call himself a pro semite, EM

[21:50:00] login beautiful, aren't they? Pringles

[21:50:48] login oh, they're not sliced potatoes?

[21:51:39] login i didn't know amazon did food

[21:53:50] login try these: https://www.propercrisps.com/

[21:54:06] login owned, ultimately, by a german company - intersnack group gmbh

[21:56:45] login well, it's not a german food though

[21:57:17] login it was started by some people in new zealand, then sold to a company that is in turn owned by intersnack

[21:57:46] login slowly, but surely

[21:58:35] login the company they sold to used to be jointly owned by a philippine company too

[21:59:19] login very recently sold: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/131194508/biscuit-giant-snaps-up-nelson-crisp-company

[22:03:45] login they allow ground-level street but not higher level balcony

[22:03:50] login broken rules

[22:04:18] login aw

[22:04:21] login shucks

[22:04:36] login my dad did cigarettes, but gave them up

[22:05:06] login my dad is in better health than my mom, even though he's older and he used to smoke

[22:05:12] login but she never smoked or drank

[22:05:50] login well, drank once or twice, but that's it

[22:07:14] login my dad was on and off alcohol, sometimes often, sometimes rare

[22:07:29] login he may have been an alcoholic when he was younger, don't know about now

[22:07:50] login he's the kind of person who won't let others know he's suffering

[22:08:12] login especially not his children

[22:08:23] login sorry to hear about your dad, foxy

[22:14:35] login that may not be allowed, Zack

[22:22:33] login it could also be luck that the number of mutations to develop cancer didn't happen

[22:23:16] login was it easy to fake one's date of birth a 100 years ago?

[22:24:43] login until when can you be on your parents' insurance?

[22:25:09] login does ireland also have NHS?

[22:25:29] login i thought ComputerTech was in the Republic of Ireland

[22:25:37] login So you're in the UK

[22:26:11] login who is in turn advised by the Pope

[22:26:28] login Royal Family has its own assets

[22:26:41] login they earn a lot of rent from their properties

[22:26:45] login or so i've heard

[22:26:54] login very large landowner, and gold hoarder too

[22:27:15] login oh?

[22:28:22] login > The level of funding for the Royal Household is now linked to the Government's revenue from the Crown Estate.

[22:29:42] login i.e., the Crown Estate earns 'x' from its land and other holdings

[22:29:48] login 0.25*x is the Sovereign Grant

[22:32:37] login If you get a TENGA masturbator as a gift for your birthday, will you use it?

[22:32:44] login it's a passive device

[22:33:30] login Were you able to maintain a chicken coop, CT?

[22:34:08] login can hens lay eggs without a rooster?

[22:45:43] login why did he get put into prison?

[22:45:57] login oh shit, literal motherfucker

[22:46:27] login how did it get found out?

[22:46:51] login did that cause police to take action on their own?

[22:47:31] login Before the internet, stuff like that would never get spread widely

[22:47:37] login newspapers wouldn't cover it, i think

[22:48:05] login or his parents?

[22:48:12] login his/her

[22:51:49] login I think it is more common than believed

[22:52:42] login Has he/she seen a psychologist?
