15:00
@rahuldottech join the club dude
yeah it's sad
@rahuldottech you life is a bloody japanese anime ;)
but it's also life.
@JourneymanGeek Mine is a german horror, in my head...
@JourneymanGeek don't know much about Japanese anime, but...
any way turns out her ex, my friend, made a couple of bad decisions
15:01
yesterday, by rahuldottech
@djsmiley2k I know someone who was raped as a kid. Yes, she's the same age as me
@Burgi Dosen't everyone?
true
@JourneymanGeek I think you sent that message a moment too late :P
.... or I shoulda used reply
so the next day we didn't talk about it
15:02
;D
'Girl all the bad guys want'
@rahuldottech DEARKWARDED
@Burgi probably the best thing to do
@rahuldottech ok really?
wanna do this?
my wifes best friend was sexually attacked too...
15:02
Actually I don't
Oh damn you
but lets not.
I could say a lot to that but 1) it would ruin the chat's mood 2) I should respect other's privacy
then after she went home she text me while i was still on holiday saying "thanks for being my substitute boyfriend xxx"
so lets stop
@Burgi f...
15:03
HAMMERTIME!
@Burgi rofl
.... that was poor timing
@IAmABot timing on point...
so did her ex get none too?
@Burgi in terms of the emotional side of it, sure ;p
That's kinda the thing I miss the most about having shorta special friends of the opposite gender.
15:04
@rahuldottech not saying you've not experienced things
I'd never try and say that
just saying.... don't do the whole 'compare stories' thing.... about stories along those lines.
I'm sure there's others here, who have likely had simular, and maybe worse things.
This all comes down to the basic fundamental universal truth. People are weird and messed up...
2
damn right.
@djsmiley2k yeah. I get if
I think sexual assault is much more frequent than we assume. I know personally two women who were.
But let's not get the chat in that direction
brb office birthday...
15:05
@djsmiley2k yeah. I get it
NO WAIT DON'T START A STORY THEN LEAVE US HANGING!!! DON'T YOU DARE!!!
wait a mo
@Burgi FRIENDZONE HER, MUAHAHHAHA
Wait so she sent that message and your GF saw it?
And then you found out you're actually in a romcom right?
15:07
@ThatREDACTEDGuy #AccidentallyFamous #BurgiGotEmGurlz
If you haven't yet, you really should reply her "Please don't get it wrong, I already have a girlfriend and I'm really happy in a relationship. But you can always count on me as a friend". Or something along these lines.
@ThatREDACTEDGuy then she text me again at lunchtime today saying that she was at another wedding next week and that she might need a substitute boyfriend for it....
@Burgi bleh
Tell her "only as a friend" unless... You know... ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
In other news, mum just asked me if I have a girlfriend
I said I don't and she asked me whether I planned on getting one
@rahuldottech o_O?
@ThatREDACTEDGuy ah no! you see i thought i'd head that one off before it got twisted, i told my gf EVERYTHING that happened (included the messed up stuff)
15:12
๐Ÿ˜ถ
Also in a totally no creepy way, how is your mum doing @rahuldottech?
@Burgi Way to go, my man! :D
@djsmiley2k okay. Better than before, so I'm happy.
But she has very sudden mood swings, so I'm really hoping that she won't have one anytime soon
Although... She is going to meet school teachers tomorrow so eh
this girl is stunning though btw
@Burgi hmmm
you're reminding me of my wedding night
15:16
@Burgi oooh
wifes two best friends
one keeps telling me she loves me (which she'd always do when drunk)
the other..... who's still around now
goes 'She's lucky she found you first'
i'm like.... WHOA NO.
you can't say this
@Burgi No matter how stunning, don't do anything you might regret later. It will become either a source of guilt or a white elephant in the relationship.
> wifes two best friends
0_o
@djsmiley2k your wife has been talking up your manly prowess
Mine when she's drunk will compliment me a lot on various fronts
But when she's sober she mostly complains
And when she compliments me she says her friends can never know :P
15:19
oh this girl
so..... I pointed out she had serious depression going on
seems she hadn't realised for like 10 years.
@Burgi don't mess up
and she's now like... eternally greatful for that...
Speaking of which, I found out I apparently look hot when I'm sick wearing a suit.
38 mins ago, by That REDACTED Guy
Dude I am home since Wednesday. Fracking sick.
(Although I briefly had to go out on Wednesday to try and rent a suit for a wedding).
@JourneymanGeek do you mean "awkwardness once she got sober" would be the title of my biography?
see ya
15:21
GTG study chem... Talk to you guys later.
@ThatREDACTEDGuy apparently me too
My wife sneaked a pic when I wasn't looking and it got 75 likes on FB, mostly from girls.
NOTHING UNTOWARD HAPPENED!
@ThatREDACTEDGuy ;D
I've never done anything deliberately untowards
15:22
@JourneymanGeek thats a Culture ship name
Once a girl jumped me at a trainstation and kissed me, but that wasn't me!?
One even said "if he's going like that the groom better watch out"
Made wonders to my self esteem as usually I get one compliment on my looks every ten years or so
wtf why has this one site got 3 vpn's setup on it o_O
@djsmiley2k O_o
A random, unknown girl?
and the only access-rule on it says 'Bobo'
2
haha nah
some girl I knew on IRC (planetarion - remember that?)
15:25
@djsmiley2k I remember IRC, never heard of Planetarion
btw you're making me feel old
I think I even went to an IRCounter once
PEOPLE STILL USE IRC!
I do
but planetarion, hosted on JOLT, was awesome.
we all met up in birmingham the first time
about 30 of us
nearly got blown up by terrorists. fun story.
2
Anyway, I went back to meet her and her brother, after we arranged that for some reason... not sure why
gawd she was hawt
Anyway, the 2nd time i went back....
her brother went home, and by this point I had a gf, but I didn't think anything was going on... so niaeve.
we spent some time going around brum, it had a huge alternative friendly area so she was showing me bit and pieces.
eventually time to go get the train, she comes down to the platform... train pulls in.... she grabs me, kisses me
I'm like.... o_O dafaqjusthappened?!
@djsmiley2k which flavour of terrorists?
@Burgi at the time I think it was still IRA
'99
15:30
@djsmiley2k is DOMINATING the starwall btw
walked past a car with a car bomb on it, also got evacuated from Toys'R'Us
Oh, ^ that's gonna get star'd too now, right?
there we go :P
@Burgi When sick or when wearing a suit?
@ThatREDACTEDGuy suit thing
At 35 this is the olny the second time I wore a suit, both for weddings.
The other time I looked even hotter to the point of saying "I'd make out with myself"
But we forgot to take pictures of ourselves =/
derp.
hmmm, do tweets not 1box here?
15:35
Avoid Coventry Rd. Great Western Pub on fire. Road closed. # Warwick https://t.co/4u0WWNiHhl
@djsmiley2k Remove the "?....." part query string
ah
hmm, still the image not 1boxed so n m
What pub? What fire?! XD
the road looks empty to me....
@djsmiley2k Insn't that just the famous UK fog?
so you guys think i should not fall to the dark side and just friendzone this girl?
15:49
@djsmiley2k sounds a lot of fun!
i've never friendzoned anyone before
its strange being on the other side
that's why you should do it
write a book
@Burgi oooh. I kinda have.
'Friendzoning HER'
heh
also google maps has gone.... gay...
15:53
o_O?
pink and frilly?
I'm presuming this is like 'Don't step on the floor it's lava'.... so how do they get to
there?
@djsmiley2k out of the fire escape at the back of the club?
@djsmiley2k "Gay parade on these streets"?
16:02
home time
16:20
It's nice having an empty inbox - no more job emails to clutter up my email every day :)
17:07
@CircusCat What's Hitler doing on the bottom right?
2 messages moved to trash
2 messages moved to trash
(and that's just the "primary" tab)
17:23
OMG I LOVE THIS GIRL
Wednesday marked 6 months of us dating
2 hours ago, by rahuldottech
I said I don't and she asked me whether I planned on getting one
@ThatREDACTEDGuy obviously not gonna tell mum
@rahuldottech omg u lied to mommadottech
17:45
...is there a particular reason to keep the relationship on the DL?
@djsmiley2k lol
@ToxicFrog eh. While my mum is cooler than many, if not most moms in India, if I tell her I'm gonna have to listen to a sizable amount of stuff while she's angry at me which I don't really want to
order best is tell that The you thing can about jokes BitTorrent them in any.
@rahuldottech conveniently, that also works for jokes about concurrency errors~
@Burgi yeah, let her down gently, stay friends if you can but don't let her think it's going anywhere it's not.
17:49
The problem with git jokes is everyone has their own version.
@ThatREDACTEDGuy I posted that here ages ago...
> User: Hey, Jim, I'd like to hear an HTTPS joke.
Jim: Okay, User, I'll tell you an HTTPS joke.
User: But how do I know it will be funny?
Jim: Frank thought it was funny.
User: Frank, is this true?
Frank: Yes, I found the joke to be funny.
User: Frank, how can I trust your judgment on this joke?
Frank: I have a comedy judgment license from ComedyCom LLC.
User: ComedyCom LLC, is this true?
ComedyCom LLC: Yes, it is true. We have issued Frank a license to judge comedy.
User: I have never heard of ComedyCom LLC, but their name is on this list that came with my free wallet, so I will believe yo
I lol'd
> I have never heard of ComedyCom LLC, but their name is on this list that came with my free wallet, so I will believe you

@ThatREDACTEDGuy 412: I am a teapot.
> A UDP packet walks into a bar, the bartender says "Hello, what can I get you". The UDP packet doesnโ€™t acknowledge.
A TCP packet walks into a bar and says, "I'd like a beer." The bartender replies, "You want a beer?" The TCP packet replies, "Yes, I'd like a beer."
An ICMP packet walks into a bar, says โ€œHello!โ€ to the bartender, who then in turn runs out to tell the ICMP packetโ€™s wife.
> A RARP packet walks into the bar and knows your name, but needs to know your address.
A Multicast Packet walks into a bar and says "A Beer for everyone!" and everyone gets the beer at the same time.
An AppleTalk packet walks into a bar and orders a beer, but nobody understands.
IPv4 walks into a bar Thebartender asks, "what'll it be?" IPv4 responds, "a strong CIDR please... I'm exhausted.
> A Broadcast packet walks into a bar, screams to the bartender, "HEY MAC! I WANT A BEER!" Everyone else in the bar hears him but chooses to ignore him.
> An ARCNet frame walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bar is actually a feral rat colony made out of scrap wood, but it gets the beer anyways.
I don't know what RARP, AppleTalk or ARCNet are =/
@ThatREDACTEDGuy Showing your age... or lack thereof
ARCNet is an early networking protocol (early 80s, IIRC?) which is notworthy these days primarily for being able to run on extremely flaky cables
18:03
@CircusCat Just a second, let me get my 300 baud modem and my tape-base MSX so I can dial up to this BBS
A friend of mine once had a house wired for intercom that would pick up radio broadcasts from nearby stations and was completely unusable as an actual intercom, but ARCNet ran fine on it
RARP is Reverse ARP and does exactly what it says on the tin, lets you look up IPv4 addresses given a MAC address
And I assume AppleTalk is some proprietary and hopefully long dead Apple-specific networking protocol
> a house wired for intercom that would pick up radio broadcasts from nearby stations
I remember back in the early 90's I had a neighbour who would play on his Sega Master System and my B&W TV would display it.

Q: There appears to be a poltergeist in my speakers (no, really)

bcmcfcI've no idea if there's a suitable Stack Exchange for poltergeists. It appears to be software, hardware or virus related, so I thought I'd try here, seeing as Ghostbusters is just a film, so I can't call them. I'm not going mad, and this isn't a joke. There's what appears to be a radio stream c...

THat's funny.
The la la Land soundtrack is amazing
18:27
@bwDraco some kind of long/medium/short wave radio picking up due to unshielded cable?
18:43
at my old place, my cheapo speakers, would pick up the girl next door's tv, or computer
never figured out which, but she watched a lot of friends and HIMYM
18:58
also she was like 14, so no comments plz
I just found the Indian equivalent of The Onion
(English)
19:13
superuser.com/questions/1244435/swap-partition-on-usb-stick/… user told somebody to "shut up" (didn't intend to inline the answer meant to line break but phone screwed up)
19:28
Oww
@JourneymanGeek Take a look at the offensive answer ^
Is removing editing content out recommended?

@rahuldottech no-www says don't use it
yes-www says use it
@Ramhound It's gone. And the luser is nuked.
extra-www says use it twice
@rahuldottech I think a sane approach is to have the www and no-www addresses both point to the same page.
@ThatREDACTEDGuy I think I'm going to go back to pointing both at www
Unlike we do at my workplace, where sometimes it is disabled, sometimes it opens an email login and sometimes it opens a completely different site
Cuz that's what vox does and I like vox
@ThatREDACTEDGuy whaa
20:39
@rahuldottech I gave up trying to understand my workplace's web hierarchy years ago.
Now I read more sane and comprehensible stuff, like the Necronomicon or the Book of Zalgo.
21:10
Certified Translation Badge
@CircusCat uhh
Dammit
@djsmiley2k Me too!
THIS MOVIE IS SO MESSED UP
SHIT
DAMN
Has anyone seen The Circle (2017)?
21:24
@ThatREDACTEDGuy yes-www still exists, no-www.org doesn't.
@djsmiley2k I laughed out loud at mommadottech
@rahuldottech imo www looks bad
@Avery Any reason in particular?
it's mostly just space consuming
SE doesn't use it either
@ThatREDACTEDGuy sometimes it summons cthulhu ?
'Errr guise, I accidently the browser and summoned cthulhu again, halp?'
most browers hide www now
along with hiding http which was REALLY ANNOYING LOOKING AT YOU FIREFOX
then they realised it was an important anti-security indicator and gave it back
you'd litterally type h, to type in hsbc, and it'd go 'oh your typing a web address, here's a w instead'
and you type wbsc, and you'd get phised and it'd all be firefoxes fault.
21:40
Go to wbsc and ghet phished... hmm
Yeah no thanks
@djsmiley2k Not until now, but on some days I get the distinct impression of being a tiny cog in a huge machine whose only function is to function as a temple for Kafka.
@djsmiley2k browser.urlbar.trimURLs
22:10
@bwDraco This was long ago
@djsmiley2k FF doesn't.
Huh weird
23:08
@rahuldottech no
@rahuldottech comment on this?
23:57
I'm a cat
