The DMZ

MickLH

15:00

no guys I meant, that part isn't stalking yet, how much further would it have to go to be that?

Ohnana

1 min ago, by Ohnana

@MickLH when you start applying the word "data-mining" and "cross-reference"

kalina

@MickLH oh no that's definitely well into stalking by that point already

Rory Alsop

@kalina ? I don't think that happens, so I'm a bit concerned why you see it happening

Ohnana

u creepy

Simon

@RoryAlsop She's a damn drama queen.

MickLH

15:01

nahhh you guys are using a definition that doesn't apply in this context

kalina

@RoryAlsop my perspective disagrees and I care so little about this place by this point that... meh whatever

TildalWave

@kalina yeah what Roro said ... wot?

Ohnana

@MickLH either that or you're very good at rationalizing your anti-social behavior

kalina

@MickLH basically, meet new person, say hi, the moment you log into facebook to check her out that becomes stalking

you're already way past that

MickLH

ok but given that axiomatically, it's not stalking. how far away is the line?

TildalWave

15:02

I think maybe you're giving too much credence to all the adolescents here?

kalina

@TildalWave I have to tolerate almost daily instances of defending my existence

once you've been put in the situation where you have to fight with people just to prove you exist, we'll be on the same level

until then, your perspective on the matter is irrelevant

TildalWave

oww

Simon

-.-

Ohnana

@kalina /cough

am i allowed to have an opinion?

Rory Alsop

@kalina I honestly don't think anyone here challenges you on any of this, though. I feel like you are accepted on the same level as everyone else here (except @Simon,, obviously :-)

Simon

15:03

WOT

kalina

@Ohnana sure do

Rory Alsop

Lol

kalina

can

will

one of these words

@RoryAlsop sure, ever since I started filling up my ignore list

Mark Buffalo

@kalina this sounds very unhealthy :/

kalina

but tbh, now I have a double figure percentage of the room on ignore, I'm starting to feel like wtf is the point in even being here

Simon

15:05

Yup.

Rory Alsop

@kalina ... Wow

Ohnana

no one's denied you a sense of self-definition, we've worked you into the in-group of the chat (jokes, conversation, opinions) and we value your thoughts on all sorts of topics

if you'd like to leave, do so. you have that right.

MickLH

@MarkBuffalo I think that "unhealthy" situation is inherently produced by any female going on internet chat and admitting she's female

Simon

Seriously, I'm gonna say this and shut the hell up right after: she sounds like the type of person who needs to be told "oh you're gr8, pls don't leave us" constantly, which annoys the crap out of me.

kalina

@Ohnana yeah I actually didn't want to have this conversation anyway, I'd rather keep it to myself until it's too late and then just vanish

Mark Buffalo

15:06

:<

can we calm down imho

TildalWave

@kalina frankly, to me, this is the least bothersome char room on SE (despite that I realize it often looks quite the opposite)

Mark Buffalo

tbh fyi idd

Ohnana

@kalina that works. if i don't see you again, toodles

TildalWave

*chat

kalina

@MarkBuffalo you know (well, obviously not)... I'm actually completely calm

Mark Buffalo

15:07

@kalina I mean all of us

not just you

Simon

Everyone's calm you donut.

Mark Buffalo

let's change the subject

TildalWave

DMZnizens measure the length of their penis for kicks, elsewhere they actually think that it matters

Mark Buffalo

new subject... simon's donuts

Simon

wtf is a wonut

Mark Buffalo

15:08

ween donut?

Simon

@MarkBuffalo That sounds tasty as hell.

wot

MickLH

Oh hey one anecdote in closing, totessss all-you-can eat free "oh you're gr8, pls don't leave us" ego food on the house over at gamedev chat (only for @kalina)

kalina

@MickLH nobody needs this

Simon

@MickLH luuulz

MickLH

but it annoys simon! how can you not?

M'vy

15:09

totessss?

kalina

who cares what he thinks

MickLH

I was hoping that would also annoy simon

@kalina I care about things I love

kalina

you love Simon?

MickLH

Like jumping in on the abuse bukakke

Every community has a spaz for abuse bukakke

Arperum

This is not even euphemistic anymore. Can we go back to euphemisms? That's a lot more interesting.

Mark Buffalo

15:11

stop this

:o

TildalWave

@MarkBuffalo looks like it worked :)

Simon

^ Perfect Markus impersonation, well done.

MickLH

finally, wb @kalina

Simon

OH COME ON TILDOL YOU RUINED MY ARROW

TildalWave

oh bugger

kalina

15:15

...?

MickLH

sometimes you go away from the window for extended periods of time like several minute in the extremes, so I was just glad to see you back

Simon

lulz

kalina

I "go away from the window"?

Arperum

@MickLH You know you sound like a creep right now? And I'm not even the target of your attention.

TildalWave

sounds like a stalker to me...

MickLH

15:16

noooo guys, from the chat window

kalina

I randomly drop out of chat?

Arperum

@kalina I think he's sad that you stop typing for a second every now and then.

kalina

well that's because I'm doing other things

Arperum

Most of us are.

I'd think anyway.

MickLH

is it really such a big deal to appreciate someone and welcome them back after they were busy for a moment?

Arperum

M'vy

@Arperum like 15 mins later ?

Simon

jeezus christ lads, Mick is joking.

He's a huge troll.

M'vy

It's not "all on the new one"-time ?

TildalWave

@Arperum you'd think that...

MickLH

Both of simon's statements may be true but I still appreciate @kalina more than everyone else combined

Arperum

15:20

@TildalWave I'm pretty sure that sitting here staring at a chat all day long makes it kind a creepy.

Simon

@MickLH You must be a self-destructive individual.

TildalWave

guys, hey guys, do you realize there's not one sec.se mod now here?

MickLH

oh fuck yeah, bust out the ego drugs

Simon

POST SEXY DONUTS

Oh wow, I googled that, it's super NSFW.

I was expecting to see donuts dressed in a sexy way, not half naked women.

MickLH

Wut? Do you even internet?

M'vy

15:23

You're asking for it though

Simon

Sorry for still having a tiny bit of faith in humanity.

M'vy

humanity != internet

2

TildalWave

I'm gonna star that

Simon

Humanity is Internet because Internet is love, Internet is life.

MickLH

How do you not know that the internet is still the only place where aliens can interact with humans, without causing severe controversy?

kalina

15:25

@MickLH I'm well aware of that

Simon

@MickLH Shut top jesus.exe

MickLH

Well obviously, you're awesome. I was just trying to help them get past their denial, but right on cue... oh well

kalina

@MickLH I don't understand why, we spent like 20 minutes chatting once

@MickLH cue*

Simon

I think it's quite easy to understand

MickLH

@kalina Because I am too selfish to pass up something so obviously valuable

Simon

15:27

Mick = nurd

kalina = pretended to be female

nurd + female = O M G

kalina

...ok

I'm going to brb

like... tomorrow

Mark Buffalo

sigh. I googled zangief piledriver gif

and brought up my third nsfw link for today

I'm doomed

Good job loving your own post so much narc

Mark Buffalo

shaddup

stop fighting

MickLH

15:29

I'm not fighting! I'm sharing in an emotional experience!

TildalWave

@MarkBuffalo but it's Friday

Adi

@MickLH Stop it. That's Kaliana's job

Simon

loool

Mark Buffalo

Simon

nct

Adi

15:30

@MarkBuffalo Who doesn't like some anti-clumping agent in their cheese

Mark Buffalo

@Adi Issue is the labeling

"100% cheese!"

Simon

@MarkBuffalo You're an issue.

Mark Buffalo

0.3% is anti-clumping

8.8% is a filler

Adi

who buys pre-graded cheese?

Mark Buffalo

white people

Adi

15:32

Disgusting

That's just like buying pre-mashed mashed potatoes

Mark Buffalo

Red people, too. It's good on spaghetti

....I buy pre-mashed mashed potatoes :(

Adi

Oh wow

Mark Buffalo

saves time for my wife, who has too many things to do. in fact, I buy anything that will save her time

MickLH

Disgusting? Like disgustingly convenient, because it makes you feel ashamed of and sorry for the past?

TildalWave

@MarkBuffalo it that supposed to be a "wood in your cheese" joke?

Mark Buffalo

15:33

anything that can save her time / automate her work will be purchased

@TildalWave no

Adi

@MarkBuffalo McDonald's saves time

So does canned macaroni

Simon

@MarkBuffalo Isn't she a stay-at-home mom?

MickLH

@Adi Nah not asymptotically

Xander

@Adi Me, five pounds at a time. It's wonderful.

Mark Buffalo

@Simon Yeah, so anything that makes this easier for her is worth it

Simon

15:34

@MarkBuffalo -.-

HOW DOES SHE NOT HAVE TIME TO MASH POTATOES?

Mark Buffalo

@Adi There's... there's such thing as canned macaroni? Gross.

Adi

@MarkBuffalo You mean grossly saves time?

Mark Buffalo

@Simon Free time is something she doesn't have enough of

Adi

@Xander But but.. how do you use it?

TildalWave

@MarkBuffalo Parmesan cheese is a PDO in EU

Xander

15:35

There is no more useless task in life than grating cheese. Unless you need a specific sort of grate, in which case I'm ok with it.

Adi

Put your hand in a bag and then dump it over your spaghetti?

Mark Buffalo

@TildalWave PDO?

TildalWave

protected designation of origin

Simon

@MarkBuffalo -.-.-.-.-

Mark Buffalo

@Simon peeling potatoes, then boiling them... then applying mash ingredients... then stuff. when you can set it and forget it, it's useful.

when you have kids, you will understand

Xander

15:36

@Adi On top of tacos, in casseroles, in eggs, pretty much anywhere the cheese is a melty ingredient.

TildalWave

Geographical indications and traditional specialities in the European Union

Three European Union schemes of geographical indications and traditional specialities, known as protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional specialities guaranteed (TSG), promote and protect names of quality agricultural products and foodstuffs. They are based on the legal framework provided by the EU Regulation No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs. This regulation (enforced within the EU and being gradually expanded internationally via bilateral...

basically, if it ain't made in Parmezania, you can't sell it as Parmesan :)

Mark Buffalo

lol, nice

kalina

at least @Simon gets what he wants out of all of this

TildalWave

how would he know what he wants?

Adi

@MarkBuffalo Same for champagne

If it's not made in that region, you can't call it that

and feta cheese

and a bunch of other things

kalina

15:39

@TildalWave do you mean how would I know?

Thomas Pornin

@TildalWave But that does not apply beyond the EU. E.g. I can find here (in Canada) many types of "Camembert" that never saw the Ancient World.

TildalWave

@kalina no, I mean how would he know

Adi

@ThomasPornin That's one good thing about TITP

M'vy

The Ancient World ? :)

Adi

Or was it called TTIP?

kalina

15:39

@TildalWave shrug, it doesn't matter anyway

Thomas Pornin

@M'vy "Old World" just looks plain.

M'vy

@ThomasPornin No I like Ancient World :)

Mark Buffalo

@Adi The EU does a lot of things right

Adi

which one was the thing with evil stuff that people are hating?

Oh yeah, TTIP

Mark Buffalo

@Adi Right to be forgotten (removed from Google if I recall correctly), etc.

Lighty

15:41

@Adi shudders

That name gives me diarrhea

Adi

@MarkBuffalo and other privacy laws

@Lighty Nah, man. It's fantastic

Mark Buffalo

Privacy is definitely something I support

Lighty

@Adi TTIP can just right fck off to what whole it came from

Mark Buffalo

But what kind of laws are you referring to?

I'd like to hear more about this amazing EU

Adi

@MarkBuffalo Data protection policies, forcing companies to do certain stuff in order to handle personal data

Opt-in spam rather than opt-out like the U.S.

Mark Buffalo

15:43

You can't opt-out here

Rory Alsop

@Adi Tea in the Park?

tinthepark.com

Adi

I don't know. I don't have a whole list

Mark Buffalo

Because if you opt-out somewhere else, another company/website will have your data

And you end up running in circles

Adi

@RoryAlsop Are they any good?

TildalWave

@Adi Cognac is the only exception I know of where branding as such is permitted also for the Albanian cognac (cognac skanderbeg)

within the EU of course

Rory Alsop

15:44

@adi - Used to be one of my favourite music festivals. Got engaged at one.

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop Did you marry the engagee?

Rory Alsop

Yarr

Adi

@RoryAlsop What does your wife thing about that? :D

Mark Buffalo

Nice

Adi

God damn it. Got ninja'd

Rory Alsop

15:45

Lol

diagprov

@RoryAlsop Tea in the park haha, that sounds so British when you think about it.

Adi

What would you use a thermal camera for?

diagprov

And headlining "a spot of afternoon tea festival will be Metallica..."

"Supported by some other hip metal band, and scones with cream".

TildalWave

@Adi all kinds of things.... here, security?

Adi

I'm waiting for mine to arrive. It should arrive on Tuesday

TildalWave

15:48

really? which one?

Adi

I'm gonna use it for some scientific shit

@TildalWave FLIR C2

TildalWave

yeah there's that

you can use it as a medical device too

Adi

I'm wondering about other cool usages

TildalWave

dude that's too broad, you don't want to get me started

Adi

I really want to mythbust the keypad thing

diagprov

15:49

@RoryAlsop I have some new songnames for your band. "Burn your dastardly baking", "Elevenses on the dancefloor", "Jam Trance" and "This Kake".

Thomas Pornin

@Adi Tracking a moose at night in snowy woodlands. Then strangling it and eating its heart to acquire its strength.

Mark Buffalo

@Adi I use it to monitor farts

Adi

@MarkBuffalo That's the #1 request I received in the office so far

We either have a farting problem, or just people here are too funny

Rory Alsop

@diagprov mmmm. Cake

TildalWave

or too bored

Mark Buffalo

15:52

@Adi I want to know if someone is farting so I can be sure to get my anti-cancer inhalation-based nutrients.

....that's disgusting. I'm going to barf in the corner

Adi

@ThomasPornin Life's too short for strangling. .338 is much faster

Then you can eat all the hearts you want

Xander

@Adi To figure out where I have heat leaks in my house.

diagprov

@RoryAlsop See. I'm sure there is a market for bakery-based music.

Rory Alsop

Short skirt and a long jacket - classic Cake

Adi

are you fucking kidding me?!

Rory Alsop

15:54

@Xander I got one for measuring tyre temperatures. It was also good for heat loss measurement

Adi

Who the fuck flagged this?!

Rory Alsop

When did that happen - I saw no flags?

Just now?

Mark Buffalo

I also see no flags

Adi

20 seconds before I posted it

Pimgd

There were two flags

Rory Alsop

15:56

Hmmmmm

Pimgd

@Simon One for that message

and one I didn't see because hitting "not sure" made "an error has occured" pop up.

Xander

@RoryAlsop Nice! Tire temp measurement is another good use.

diagprov

I can't see flags any more, thankfully.

Pimgd

anyway it was half an hour ago so I don't see the need for any action, considering there's no angry/hateful things going on here

so I'll be leaving again

have fun

Rory Alsop

:-)

Adi

15:57

@Xander That's a very good usage!

Air circulation in general

Mark Buffalo

@Pimgd Thanks... or you can stay?

@Pimgd Please don't leave me

Rory Alsop

Adi - I just removed that. There wasn't a need.

Pimgd

@MarkBuffalo You rang?</lurch>

Adi

@RoryAlsop Removed what?

Rory Alsop

That line just up there

Adi

15:59

I don't remember what was there :|

What was it about?

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop tyre? Like car tires?

Rory Alsop

That's okay. It seemed like a throwaway remark, but it was likely to cause arguments.

@MarkBuffalo yes,only spelt correctly :-)

Mark Buffalo

Scots spell it as tyre?

Adi

@RoryAlsop No, honestly. I have absolutely no memory

I'm really really curious

Rory Alsop

I think in uk we English both are correct Mark

Adi

16:00

@RoryAlsop Oh wait wait

TildalWave

@Adi the stirring up things one

Adi

I remembered

Cool cool

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop That seems so fucky to me

I've never seen it spelled tyre

Adi

Yeah, fair deletion

Mark Buffalo

It's cool, though

diagprov

16:01

@RoryAlsop Yep, same in England.

TildalWave

ok ladies, I gotta go ... t/c

diagprov

Tyre, not tire. Theatre, not theater. Doughnut, not donut.

Adi

"Both are correct"

Hahahahaha :D

Mark Buffalo

I actually spell it as doughnut as well. It just seems right. Donut seems like a moronic way to do it

Adi

That's the British way to say "Yours is wrong"

Mark Buffalo

16:02

Lol

Rory Alsop

:-)

diagprov

@MarkBuffalo I usually think "what have they done to our language!!!!" ;)

Mark Buffalo

It's okay. We won the war, and therefore get to decide the rules

Adi

Yeah, you won the great USA

With all the fantastic health care education

Mark Buffalo

@Adi You're a fantastic health care education.

Education is horrible in this country unless you live in the suburbs

and even then...

Adi

16:05

@MarkBuffalo Yeah, all those free universities in the American suburbs

Mark Buffalo

No, I mean the quality of the education.

K-12, for example.

Adi

Is Super Tuesday the next Tuesday?

Mark Buffalo

march 1st

so yeah

Rory Alsop

Super Tuesday?

Mark Buffalo

I'm voting for Donald J. Trump so I can see how bad this gets

Rory Alsop

16:09

Was ist das

Adi

@RoryAlsop Like 10 states all voting at the same time

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop It's some crappy voting thingy in the US. You wouldn't understand, being under an authoritarian dictatorship over in Euro-commie-pinko land.

Rory Alsop

Oh - that thing. That might put trumpet into power

Mark Buffalo

cries in a corner with his costly education expenses

Rory Alsop

Think we're in a partially democratic monarchy, aren't we

Adi

16:11

I'm super excited!

Man.. if Trump gets half of them, that dude is good to go

Rory Alsop

Yeeeeeek

Mark Buffalo

I don't want Hillary getting elected

Rory Alsop

But between her and trumpy?

Adi

Almost nobody on either side is presidential

diagprov

@RoryAlsop we are a parliamentary democracy.

Rory Alsop

16:12

She is less mental

But then so is a bag of ferrets

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

Donald Trump is far more sane than her... that's saying a lot. :(

Adi

@MarkBuffalo Well, she is less mental

Mark Buffalo

Less mental than trump?

Only on the surface

Xander

@RoryAlsop No, the actual popularity contest that counts isn't for months. And then the coronation ceremony itself isn't for a couple of months after that. This is just like a test version. A warm up, if you will.

Adi

I mean.. I'd hate to see her in the office

Mark Buffalo

16:13

@Adi What about Bernie Sanders?

Rory Alsop

Strumpet is the most mental individual I have ever seen on tv

Adi

@MarkBuffalo Probably, the least non-presidential of them all

Xander

@RoryAlsop Have you seen his Twitter? I get re-tweeted highlights from time to time. It's quite special.

Adi

@RoryAlsop Case in point: "When ISIS attacks the Vatican, the pope will wish Trump is the president"

Said by Trump

Rory Alsop

Hahahahahahaha

Adi

16:15

@MarkBuffalo Although, honestly, I want to see Trump in the White House

at least for the first couple of years before getting impeached

Mark Buffalo

Lol

I SAW THAT

Rory Alsop

:-)

Adi

@RoryAlsop Good call

Mark Buffalo

WELCOME TO THE LIST

Rory Alsop

@Xander not yet

Lol

Adi

16:17

@Mark Potential?

Hahaha

You should listen to Rory's songs

Pretty extreme

Me likey

diagprov

This means our head of government and head of state are different people. For historical reasons, our head of state is a king or queen, but they're not authoritarian and haven't been since Cromwell executed a king.

Rory Alsop

I'm so amusingly not extremist in any way. Except for setting fire to the planet

Mark Buffalo

Is it like... I get locked up, but I get out again

Rory Alsop

Chumblywumbly

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop To be fair, the planet needs to be bathed with fire

@RoryAlsop humbly jumbly outuendo?

Arperum

16:18

I never had the idea that Rory's songs were super extreme. But that might just be me.

Adi

@RoryAlsop :D

Rory Alsop

They're just songs about sex. And drinking. Oh, and setting fire to the planet...

diagprov

@RoryAlsop and cake.

Rory Alsop

Mmmmmmm. Cake

Arperum

@RoryAlsop See, nothing all that special.

Rory Alsop

16:19

Just had three bits of cake

Xander

@RoryAlsop It's probably not a good idea, if you take politics seriously at all.

Rory Alsop

I don't take any politics seriously. Ever. Politicians === comedians
