11:00

wot

Rоry McCune

@AviD oh come on, the obvious play on words

AviD

@RоryMcCune oh that part I understood, but you obviously don't know my highschool teachers ;-)

actually, I joke, but the principal was legit sent to prison.

for, uhm, activities which should not be had. at least not by a principal with his students.

true story.

btw, it wasnt with me, I was one of the unfavored students.

I actually did get him to slap me, though. Or try - he missed me and clipped my friend.

'course, if it was me, I probably would not have been allowed to graduate after my response. Regardless if I deserved it.

Rory Alsop

11:42

That's just because it's apparently bad form to hit then back...with a tank...

AviD

yeah. Or a stick.

or knuckledusters, apparently.

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop is that a doctor who references I spot

@AviD have you watched it yet

AviD

oh damn is that a season 9 spoiler damn you all

@RоryMcCune no havent got it yet

kalina

@AviD damn, if any of my teachers had been physically violent towards me...

AviD

@kalina right?

worst I ever had was having a piece of chalk thrown at me.

kalina

11:45

even then

AviD

though I totally deserved it, the teacher was immediately pelted with orange peels.

kalina

but then I was a bit of a trainwreck during my early teens

AviD

bad choice, right after lunch.

Rоry McCune

@AviD one of our english teachers used to throw chalkboard erasers at people who he thought were not paying attention in class

Rory Alsop

I want to stand on a tank playing loud rock guitar

AviD

11:46

@RоryMcCune okay that hurts, this chalk throwing was more playful.

Rory Alsop

Not a tank for my fish

AviD

@RoryAlsop howitzer > tank

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop @AviD is going to be annoyed with you at this rate :op

AviD

and stop with the spoilers!

kalina

@RоryMcCune and you fogeys say the current generation are uncivilized

Rory Alsop

11:46

Lol

AviD

6 secs ago, by AviD

and stop with the spoilers!

Rоry McCune

@kalina heh when I was at school people still got the belt/cane for more severe misdemeanors

Rory Alsop

Well, if Judas Priest can have a Harley on stage...

AviD

@RоryMcCune I was just telling my son about the traditional English custom of caning.

@RoryAlsop a local famous DJ/pop star (back in the 80s) got married on a pair of horses.

kalina

@RoryAlsop get rid of the stage, perform to a beach from a boat with a huge fireworks display

Rory Alsop

11:48

It was a belt in Orkney schools too. Didn't stop the bad kids being bad, but it terrified us good kids

@kalina definitely

AviD

the wedding hall had a special item in their contract about responsiblity for cleaning up, umm, horse droppings.

Rory Alsop

Do you want to do the DJ set before and after?

kalina

I think that would overshadow the main event

Rory Alsop

@AviD so far we have avoided extra cleanup costs, despite causing a bit of a mess of every venue we play

@kalina seems fine

AviD

@RoryAlsop ever bring a horse?

kalina

11:49

:p~

ah those that don't understand technology

Rory Alsop

No. I went off horses when one stood on my foot in the bike sheds at school

kalina

some guy trying to email me 500mb of stems

Rory Alsop

Lol

AviD

also, my dad (who worked at that hall at the time) says they were extra worried about said droppings accidentally going in the pool (the wedding aisle goes right past a large pool...)

@kalina is it @Simon?

kalina

I wouldn't be accepting a remix job from simon

AviD

11:51

@kalina wouldnt stop him from emailing you the bunch, anyway

kalina

why would simon have my email address?

AviD

pls

kalina

considering that by having said email address he could effortlessly work out who I am

what with it being [email protected]

anyway

AviD

@kalina doent help me figure out who you are, but I just sent you an email to [email protected]

I do like that though. Maybe I should do the same

[email protected]

or [email protected]

Arperum

@RoryAlsop buy/steal one of the tanks Sabaton uses. They have a new one, it might be that it has parts of the old one, don't know, but the new one shoots fireworks

kalina

11:55

the latter is far better

AviD

@kalina why don't you use your name in your email?

kalina

obviously the tigger design on the rest of your website would possibly be a copyright violation

AviD

heh. true.

kalina

@AviD my name name? or?

AviD

actually it is possible that their copyright expired?

kalina

11:56

maybe

AviD

@kalina instead of "bookings". or "artist.tld".

kalina

@AviD why would I do that

AviD

nevermind, stupid #simon joke that fell flat

dammit I cant even fail as well as @Simon.

Rоry McCune

@kalina pls we know your domain name

AviD

#failfail

Rоry McCune

11:57

it's kali.na isn't it!

kalina

-.-

AviD

@RоryMcCune she just said, artistname.tld

Rory Alsop

@Arperum I had forgotten about Sabaton! Nice!

Rоry McCune

@AviD yeah her artist name it kali which she got purely for the cool domain name pun of kali.na

kalina

this is the most messed up mini inquisition ever

Rоry McCune

11:58

@kalina did you expect it?

kalina

I'm going to make coffee

Rory Alsop

No one expects the Nescafe

Arperum

@RoryAlsop I'm sure you'll like their shows, what with loads of fireworks and such.

Rory Alsop

@Arperum never seen them live but remember them from rock shows years back

AviD

@kalina I'm having a nice, solid Indian.

not my favorite ever, but quite nice.

Rory Alsop

12:00

I have just finished my first coffee of the day

No idea what beans - the vanilla is covering it successfully

kalina

how strange, I just put vanilla extracts in my coffee as well

I should get some cinnamon too

makes note

Rory Alsop

Not strange at all - Rory[1] converted me to it years back and I'm hooked on it

Arperum

@RoryAlsop They are doing a headlining tour together with Alestorm end of february/march or something in the UK.

Rory Alsop

I saw that... Very tempted

Arperum

@RoryAlsop Me too. Even if it means I have to figure out how to get there and back.

Rory Alsop

12:07

One of my colleagues is trying to get a group together to go see carcass, voivod, obituary, napalm death and herod

Possibly too much for me

The Death crusher tour

kalina

@RoryAlsop this seems more like an NSA keyword list than a list of bands

Rory Alsop

:-)

Arperum

If you even end up in Belgium for some show, playing or watching, I'll see if I can get there.

kalina

that's a lot of ifs

Arperum

Only two, and the second one is only there so I don't promise to be at some random show in Belgium when I'm at some festival somewhere else.

kalina

12:12

oh I can't really be there, I'm washing my hair

Rоry McCune

yeah I should learn to read

AviD

@kalina SHE IS PLAYING AT THAT FESTIVAL

Rory Alsop

Waterproof guitar

And beer

Thomas Pornin

The World has become weirder: I just got an automatic software update on my Samsung phone !

kalina

@AviD :)

@ThomasPornin hey, you can't talk about information security here, it's off topic

Thomas Pornin

12:17

@kalina It cannot be information security; it is Samsung.

AviD

@kalina he said Samsung, it's obviously not information security.

@ThomasPornin damn, ninja'd by the bear!

heya @Thomas! Long time no ping.

Arperum

@RoryAlsop Dragonforce played some solo underwater at 70000 tons.

Rоry McCune

@ThomasPornin ah I'd heard they were going to do that.. interesting to see some developments

Thomas Pornin

AviD

awww shweeeet

kalina

12:23

@ThomasPornin you worked out how to clone yourself?

AviD

@ThomasPornin reminds me of that kangaroo boxing video

@kalina no, silly, that's @ThomasPornin and @TomLeek.

so, basically, yes.

wild kangaroo street fight Aussie style

►

Tom Leek

@AviD I AIN'T NO CLONE TO NOBODY !

AviD

oh hello, @Tom! We were, just, uh, yeah, talking about, umm.... BEARS

Rоry McCune

@AviD you had to go rile him...

AviD

no no, I meant kangaroos

WALLABIES

kalina

12:28

@TomLeek double negative

#chatkiller

Arperum

Blame XKCD.

kalina

blame all the things

it's much better to alt tab from your daw into an active chat room because then you can just drop a few comments and get back to what you were doing

but when it's an empty chat room that's completely idle I don't know whether to just alt tab back, thus wasting my time for the entirety of that check or to say something and appear like I have nothing to do all day

basically, what I'm trying to say is, stop being so selfish you idlers

Rоry McCune

@kalina rather you than me... #chatkiller flip off XKCD

kalina

is it too much to ask for you to keep the conversation moving?

Rоry McCune

ok musicy type, name the track who's lyrics my last message was a rip-off from

kalina

13:51

are you serious?

do I look like Google to you?

Rоry McCune

@kalina well I know what the answer is of course

but I was testing your musical knowledge

hey you wanted chat

kalina

I don't want to chat anymore

AviD

@RоryMcCune La Bamba

kalina

I'm leaving an never coming back

bye

Rоry McCune

@kalina o/

kalina

13:53

nobody even cares

Rоry McCune

@AviD ...no

@kalina about my song quiz, or you abandoning chat?

AviD

@kalina we do, just not quite enough to do anything about it.

like, a little bit.

kalina

@RоryMcCune the latter

it could have legitimately been the last time we ever spoke and you were like "well go already"

that's the extent of my impact here

Rоry McCune

I'll give you a clue .. the person who "sang" it went on to protray a police person on TV, which was rather ironic given the lyrics

AviD

@kalina nah he was look "good luck"

Rоry McCune

13:55

@kalina aww that's not true

AviD

@RоryMcCune ahh then it must be Ice Cube

Rоry McCune

@AviD very close, but not quite

AviD

@RоryMcCune damn, Vanilla Ice then??

Rоry McCune

@AviD ohh you're so close

but no

AviD

@RоryMcCune Milli Vanilli ???

Rоry McCune

13:56

his real name is "Tracy"

but he doesn't generally use that

AviD

@RоryMcCune ooh I know who you're talking about, but dont remember his name

Rоry McCune

@AviD you were closer with Ice cube

AviD

30 Rock?

Rоry McCune

@kalina no guesses?

AviD

@RоryMcCune cmon, that was an obvious troll

kalina

13:58

no I'm too busy sulking over being universally hated by those I thought had the potential to be friends

Rоry McCune

@AviD well dunno

@kalina we don't hate you at all, all online friends here :)

I'll even include @Simon in that ...

looks like no-ones going to get my mystery online music quiz...

kalina

it's too late, the waterworks have already exploded

Rоry McCune

@kalina I'd send ice cream by way of recompense, but that would be a hideous OpSec failure I'm afraid

AviD

@RоryMcCune was I wrong?

Rоry McCune

@AviD so far..

AviD

14:01

@RоryMcCune not mr. T. Jamal M. ?

Rоry McCune

@AviD Tracy Lauren Marrow

is the person you're looking for.

better known as Ice-T

AviD

@RоryMcCune wait, who?

Rоry McCune

80's Gangster Rapper

AviD

@RоryMcCune ahhh

wait didnt I say him?

Rоry McCune

and now TV show person

AviD

14:02

oh wow, Ice-T and Ice Cube are different people

Rоry McCune

he sang the infamous hit "Copkiller" who's lyrics I parodied

AviD

thats a bit confusing

@RоryMcCune thought that was Ice Cube

Rоry McCune

@AviD lol, so all black rap artists look the same to you?

kalina

that's racist

AviD

hahaha

they happen to both go by "Ice" something

both sport a thing goatee

Rоry McCune

14:03

he then went on to star in Law and Order

as a cop (IIRC, I've not seen the show)

a touch ironic

AviD

and both started as hiphop rappers, moving into television and movies.

so, yes, similar.

kalina

surely LL Cool J did something similar since he's now a cop in NCIS

Rоry McCune

yeah does seem to be a theme

kalina

Anyway

JukEboX

Morning NERDS!

kalina

14:07

All these pig jokes are in poor taste. Incest is a serious matter. #baeofpigs

JukEboX

bows to @kalina

What is the topic of the hour?

Arperum

@JukEboX Stuff.

JukEboX

@Arperum concise :P

Arperum

But correct.

M'vy

@JukEboX music quizz, and variations thereupon.

kalina

14:12

I can't believe that was worth zero stars

just more evidence of how much I'm hated

I'm not really a fan of all of the 2015 movies I've seen so far this year

very few decent samples

JukEboX

Did you see Argo?

That was pretty Good.

M'vy

@JukEboX 2015?

JukEboX

Sorry lost in time

Rоry McCune

@kalina or not everyone is up on the #hamaron #baeofpigs episode

JukEboX

Straight Outta Compton

GOOD movie^^

You might need to be into Hip Hop to get it though

M'vy

14:14

I am not sure I've seen many films this year

Simon

5 notifications, maybe one worth reading. This sums up my The DMZ experience pretty well.

M'vy

I'm beginning to see a pattern here

Rоry McCune

@Simon more than most people get

how do you establish "worth reading"

Simon

@RоryMcCune Not being an insult.

JukEboX

@RoryAlsop does not include cat picture

Rоry McCune

14:20

@Simon insults... in here... surely not

Rоry McCune

14:30

ya know how you get songs stuck in your head for no apparent reason

...

this afternoon it's

Oompa pa - Oliver

which is weird

M'vy

hm

Don't know, got my headphones on

Rоry McCune

instead I will like to "why is it always Dairy Lee"

^NSFW lyrics somewhat

somewhat?

Rоry McCune

@M'vy yeah it's inneundo rather than full on swearing

kinda like Ivor Biggun

Ivor Biggun - Mabel (All Of These Things Are Soul)

►

^no actual swearing

depending on how you listen to it

hey @kalina there's a challenge for you, try sampling Ivor Biggun

hmm quiet chat room is quiet

M'vy

15:01

indeed

Well, usually @kalina starts the conversations, but she seems to be waiting for it to happen now.

I guess we'll have to adapt or die.

Rоry McCune

weirdly @Simon is quiet today too

or did he just start his new/old job?

Simon

@RоryMcCune Yep.

Rоry McCune

@Simon ahh so giving the impression of hard work :)

did you get a welcome back doughnut?

Simon

@RоryMcCune No hard work at all, resetuping my PC (still have my old Linux laptop fortunately), paperwork, etc.

Rоry McCune

15:31

@Simon and no doughnut?... rookie error , you should've put that as a requirement in your contract!

^definitely NSFW lyrics

but amusing nonetheless

Simon

@RоryMcCune There's a Tim Horton's literally 5 minutes away from here, I'll go buy one if needed.

Rоry McCune

@Simon yeah but contractually required doughnuts, that'd be great

come in on Monday morning, chocolate glaze with sprinkles on the desk

Simon

@RоryMcCune I'd weigh a thousand pounds by December.

Rоry McCune

@Simon well ya know there's always a downside somewhere

Adi

16:01

@RоryMcCune Some asshole took a screenshot of my FB page and sent it to some low-level (but very popular) news site in Finland

Rоry McCune

@Adi yikes! that's a scummy thing for them to have done.

Adi

I had to change the name because I've received soooo many messages from people finding me

Man, and I thought the Daily Mail was bad

Rоry McCune

@Adi well the daily mail is bad

Simon

@Adi Huh? What was your page about?

Or why did they target you?

Rоry McCune

althought their coverage of the David Cameron thing today was amusing

Adi

16:06

@RоryMcCune These guys are like 20x Daily Mail

They'd use The Onion as source if it fits their ideas

@Simon My personal FB page

The post was about a few people with possible criminal ties in Iraq who arrived in Finland recently.

TildalWave

these ones?

also, yeah press is getting really ridiculous

Missus is currently in Germany and we compare reports about what's going on here... all I can say is that they don't match. And those rare times when they do, reporting style is suspicious to say the least. TL;DR there's no German media I'll be ever able to trust again.

At least they stopped confusing us for Slovakia about a week ago

Simon

@Adi Oh wow.

Thomas Pornin

16:26

@TildalWave It's weird because there is a huge difference between Slovakia and Slovenia: the name of the capital of Slovakia can actually be pronounced.

TildalWave

@ThomasPornin hehe it's actually easier to pronounce Ljubljana as you'd think, everyone that comes here says that

we don't really bother pronouncing it ad litteram either

plus, Germans actually call it Laibach

it gets funnier with Maribor, I've heard many call it Marlboro LOL

Thomas Pornin

@Adi Press purports to open a window into the inner darkness of the society -- and they really do.

Simon

16:50

@RoryAlsop @AviD I'm about to punch someone in the face. My flag for this has been declined: security.stackexchange.com/questions/100551/…

He's asking how to execute the vulnerability, this is obviously off-topic.

Rоry McCune

@Simon Might I suggest that you avoid punching anyone in your office

they may regret their decision to take you back

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag LUNCH

David Freitag

@JukEboX Pfft, yeah maybe an hour ago

JukEboX

I just got back to my office. Job this morning ran long

Simon

@DavidFreitag soz dovid, it is indeed lunch time right now.

David Freitag

17:05

@Simon hwat

Simon

Long morning too!

David Freitag

My arms, legs, and well the rest of my body are very sore.

Would taking a bath in icy hot be a bad plan? Because it doesn't sound like such a bad plan right now.

JukEboX

@DavidFreitag why are you so sore?

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag I'll say yes

David Freitag

@JukEboX Excersise

JukEboX

17:10

Good for you \o/

weight yourself yet?

David Freitag

Well I usually regularly excersise, but this time was a bit different

JukEboX

Trainer?

David Freitag

17:27

Nope

Hahaha I don't have money for food where on earth would I get a trainer?

Thomas Pornin

@DavidFreitag In Rocky IV, Stallone trains with various implements, including a huge log and a wheelbarrow. Your trainer could also be homemade that way.

David Freitag

@ThomasPornin Didn't he also have that short fat guy?

Iszi

@DavidFreitag You mean @Simon's mom?

Simon

@Iszi You suck smelly balls.

David Freitag

@Iszi I highly doubt @Simon's mom helped Rocky defeat Ivan Drago.

Rory Alsop

17:54

@Simon there you go

@TildalWave and you too

Simon

@RoryAlsop If the flag was declined, it means that at least 2 people agreed that it was not off-topic, correct?

Lately, @RoraΖ's flags and I's have been declined when they were legitimate.

Rory Alsop

@Simon at least - doesn't mean they are right. Remember some folks don't treat review seriously: they just use it as a way to get rep

Simon

Those are close votes though, it means they are somewhat reputable users.

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop heh cheers whatever you did looks good from my point of view :)

in completely unrelated news, I made my first bottle of homegrown piri piri tabasco sauce ... that thing is so yummy!!

kinda looks like this

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop I heard that the lab dedicated in France to road safety has made a number of experiments of that sort.

They were reputed to be able to severely blow up trucks with simple flour.

Rory Alsop

Flour is always a good accelerator :-)

AviD

@Iszi I thought an accelerator is where all dem cool startups hang around to cover costs, until they get a big investment?

@ThomasPornin didn't they do that on mythbusters once?

Simon

19:22

@Iszi Just like when I accelerant your pig with my cameron.

@RoryAlsop Haven't seen that one. But I doubt it will ever trump the cement truck as my favorite Mythbusters explosion. It was like they hit that button, and suddenly the truck just wasn't there anymore!

AviD

@Iszi juuuuuust linked that for ya ;-)

Iszi

@AviD Yep. Saw that. Which is why I said that. Thanks. :-)

AviD

19:24

also, I had remembered the cement truck was filled with flour. I guess I managed to mix them up...

Q: Car won't start, possibly due to ants in batteries

Yesterday there were a ton of ants crawling out of some hole in my backseat. I sprayed the shit out of them. This morning, when I try to start the ignition, my engine clicks a lot but won't turn over. I did some research and found that this is a symptom of a battery problem. I checked my oil, ...

engine ignition

Heh, ants in the battery
