@Burgi Did you watch yesterday's handcube match?

That REDACTED Guy

I HATE BRAZILIAN WEB BANKING WITH A FIERY, ALL-BURNING PASSION.

Bob

@ThatREDACTEDGuy You should get that checked out. I don't think passions are supposed to be on fire.

Burgi

@Bob oh yes! the local team did much better than that team from the other part of the world

@Bob there was a popular song about that

That REDACTED Guy

@Bob What if it's a passion fruit? They're yellow, that's a start...

aka "Help me I was on a mexican restaurant and didn't wash my hands before using the toilet"

Burgi

"darling i don't want to alarm you but...."

Journeyman Geek

@ThatREDACTEDGuy they have a cream for that

That REDACTED Guy

@JourneymanGeek Does that cream finds whoever was responsible for the business decision of A MANDADORY FUCKING ROOTKIT for allowing web banking access? And kills them with much, much, much much much much much pain?

Journeyman Geek

@ThatREDACTEDGuy being on a restaurant is arkward. How did you even get on the roof?

@ThatREDACTEDGuy this is when one breaks out a vm

Burgi

@JourneymanGeek mexican food... 'nuff said

Journeyman Geek

12:06 AM

@ThatREDACTEDGuy not yet.

That REDACTED Guy

@JourneymanGeek To catch the ~~aardvark~~ arkward that you put up there.

@JourneymanGeek Oh well. And here was I going to order a couple tons.

Avery

@Burgi dig ya see that ludicrouos display laast noyht?

That REDACTED Guy

@Avery Oh god you sound just like the drank guy I met during Carnaval

Burgi

@Avery the trouble with arsenal is that they try to walk it in

Journeyman Geek

@ThatREDACTEDGuy drop it right on em?

Avery

12:09 AM

@Avery Drunk tourist during Carnaval trying to go down a slope street

We nearly carry drunk tourist to the end of said street

"Hey man, don't drink too much OK"

In the most English accent: "Too layhte"

Explaining it isn't funny but he had a drunk guy funny look and a a drunk English funny accent

For a better example just have one of our resident Englishmen drink lots of alcohol and then give them a call

Journeyman Geek

I'm imagining this is a very deep, earthrumblingly loud voice.

That REDACTED Guy

So I really want to know how much money I have on the bank.

Historically I had to either install a ~~rootkit~~ ahem, "security module" on windows

Or run a java applet (inside a virtual machine, obviously) on a webpage

Now they retired the applet in favor of a .deb package

And the last step is rebooting the machine, so I need a VM with persistence, booting the ISO doesn't work anymore

They really force you to either install their "security module" or a mobile app

And my phone is broken

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Well, if you're going to break out, doing it in a VM is a good idea. Not sure if you'll have that much time to plan ahead though.

That REDACTED Guy

What's "break out" in this context?

All I know is I want to access my banking without layers of bureaucracy, inconvenience and mandatory bullshit

But I guess it wouldn't be true Brazilian banking without it

It's a single company providing the same app to all the banks and their userbase

Should be called "Stockholm" instead of "Warsaw".

I wonder how many billions do they make to turn my financial life such an annoyance.

Part 1 Womble CS Drunk

(uh. it's... probably NSFW. gameplay video plus drunk talk.)

That REDACTED Guy

I once was at a tourist location and met a guy who worked at the IT sector of a bank.

One of the banks I use. One that works with Warsaw.

I asked if he'd mind if I killed him, just a little bit.

Bob

But IIRC Womble has an English accent

NFI which English accent though :P

Open Folder in VSCode... It does nothing. Do it again, still nothing. Try a couple more times; nothing, nothing, aaaaaand nothing.

*minutes later*

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING

Hmm... Can I not have multiple open folders? :\

Bob

1:55 AM

@MichaelFrank ctrl+shift+n for new window

or wait for the update where they add multi-workspace-in-one-window

Michael Frank

Yea, was just reading a git issue about that.

I'd just really like to load up a bunch of mutually exclusive folders in my Explorer tab and be able to switch between them.

Bob

@MichaelFrank code.visualstudio.com/updates/…

they literally just added the preview last month :P

Michael Frank

Ahh, I'm using Stable.

Oh well, it's a coming soon feature I guess. I can wait.

Can someone check the video on this site?

https://myvaccination.com.au/knowmeningococcal/index.html

The first one at the top plays, but there are more down the page which seem to come up with invalid format for me.

2:11 AM

As a night owl, what's the best way to adapt to the world of work?

Michael Frank

@bwDraco Coffee.

bwDraco

In college, I generally didn't get to bed until 3 am and would sleep to around 11:30 am.

(night classes where I wouldn't get home until 10 pm or even 11 pm were a huge factor - had late classes almost every semester)

Michael Frank

If you don't have a reason to stay up later, just go to bed earlier.

bwDraco

For whatever reason, I'm often at my best at midnight.

Michael Frank

Only because you've tuned yourself that way.

Bob

2:17 AM

@MichaelFrank works for me. firefox, win7

Michael Frank

@Bob Yea, works on Chrome here... IE seems to fail with the second lot of videos though.

@bwDraco medicaldaily.com/…

My guess is the page is just developed poorly and isn't loading the video properly in IE.

Bob

@MichaelFrank which one doesn't work?

AUSVAC005717-Arthur.mp4?

bwDraco

@MichaelFrank Thanks - but I'm likely to get in trouble if I wake up at 4 am :\

Michael Frank

@Bob All of them

@bwDraco You probably also shouldn't run multiple miles until you hallucinate...

Bob

@MichaelFrank Yes, but is AUSVAC005717-Arthur.mp4 one of the ones that doesn't work?

And which one does work?

Michael Frank

2:24 AM

Yep

bwDraco

Alarm set at 6 am.

Good night.

Michael Frank

@bwDraco But in all seriousness, if it takes you getting up at 4am for a couple of weeks to balance out the tail end of the day, it might be worth it?

@Bob Oh, none of the videos work in IE except the main one at the top of the page.

Avery

@MichaelFrank honestly that's abuse level.

pushing boundaries shouldn't require damaging the body that much.

Bob

@MichaelFrank And which one is the main one?

AUSVAC009217-ThunderclapPledge.mp4?

Michael Frank

@Bob Yes

Bob

2:28 AM

Hm.

Identical codecs, identical codec settings, slightly different bitrates.

Michael Frank

Yea... so is the HTML that loads the file faulty?

lol... so if I take the <div> with the 'broken' video in it and throw it into an html file by itself, it works.

omg the Conditions of Use and Privacy links at the bottom 404...

Why is this on the internet! D:

I've experimented with wake-up times as early as 4:45am in the past (because top CEOs often wake up 6am or earlier), but could not get consistent results.

Bob

I'm reasonably sure you have cause and effect backwards.

bwDraco

Explain?

Michael Frank

There's a book I like to read to my daughter...

Burgi

2:38 AM

@bwDraco those CEOs have been going to bed at 9pm not 4am

Avery

9pm? not really

bwDraco

Feb 16 '16 at 11:29, by bwDraco

When I ran the CEO wake-up time experiments last summer, I went to bed as early as 9:00 PM, early enough to cause issues with dinnertime.

Burgi

also top CEOs tend to not have to drive themselves so they can nap while their chaffuer/pilot takes them to the office

they then take 3 days off to recover from having 20 minutes sleep before the board meeting etc

@JourneymanGeek hm?

4:12 AM

...is that ice skates thing real?

Journeyman Geek

@Bob quack.

@MichaelFrank I heard years ago the pressure exerted causes a SMALL amount of water to melt and act as a lubricant, then it freezes back

Avery

4:27 AM

in The Bridge, 13 mins ago, by murgatroid99

@Memor-X Ice skates concentrate a lot of weight (relatively) onto a small area, which results in high pressure. That pressure causes localized melting, then the skates hydroplane on the thin layer of water, which quickly re-freezes after the skater has passed

Journeyman Geek

lol

also the static charge thing almost sounds like a high school thing

transfer of charge. Charge dosen't come from anywhere, it just flows

Michael Frank

Yep, that's what Quora.com had to say about it as well.

Bob

5:06 AM

@Avery "localised" melting lol

the last ice rink I was on... let's say by the end of the hour "localised" would be a huge understatement

more like a 0.5cm pool of water

@Rahul2001 Life is strange ;)

@bwDraco I got up today at 6:10am

i will do for the rest of my shifts too

As for adapting to the world of work, sadly, just accept you won't be at your best during work hours

Bob

@djsmiley2k I tried to parse that as six-colon-factorial-zero am... that didn't work :P

djsmiley2k

If you have the oppotunity for flexitime, then use it, but remember that people will still want meetings etc at 'normal' hours

The otherway is is shifts / night work

What is midnight for you, is someone elses 6am

Journeyman Geek

6:08 AM

Yup

Also even with optimal timings you cannot be 100% all the time

djsmiley2k

Also yup

@Bob Hi. BTW what is a "handcube match"?

Bob

7:48 AM

@DavidPostill A play on football :P

8 hours ago, by Burgi

@Avery its easy! just drink beer and talk "sports" loudly

'sports' :P

Burgi

8:00 AM

@DavidPostill did you not see the local match?

DavidPostill

@Burgi Why would I? I'm not a football fan. Stupid game :)

user226528

So, Quidditch would be broomball?

Journeyman Geek

I heard the Lakers are a sure win in this year's Russian handegg league

user226528

Handegg! LOL.

user226528

Yeah. When I was a kid, I was shown a game in which someone who held a little brown thing under his arm kept running and battering everyone in his way. They told me it was football. I spend the rest of the game figuring out where is the ball and where is the foot.

djsmiley2k

8:14 AM

That's Rugby

google.co.uk/maps/place/Rugby/@52.3788769,-1.268553,14z/…

errr

see

user226528

Already seeing it in Wikipedia.

djsmiley2k

=)

It's also a place

said to be where the game was invented

user226528

I like association football (soccer) a tiny bit, but that's all.

user226528

To be honest, I think association football is the only game called "football" in which foot and ball play the main role to the exclusion of everything else.

djsmiley2k

yup

Rugby is ball on feet (moving)

American Football is lolwut.

user226528

8:18 AM

Are you saying every year, so many people attend the Superbowl to watch lolwut?

djsmiley2k

yup
