did i annoy someone

You could never
and yet
TIL my toothpaste is explicitly gluten-free
I yearn for some glutenous toothpaste
maybe even sourdough
00:41
Maybe you can make up for it by brushing with some bread crust

Most probably. Or he's really into super Mario

> Luigi is often depicted as more timid than his brother Mario. He is frequently shown to be afraid of ghosts, which is particularly highlighted in games like Luigi's Mansion.
👻

Spooky
yes hello
did someone say spooky
Are you a ghost?
if any of you cared enough to check in on me you'd know
Too much work
If you were influential enough, we'd also know
ahem

four days in a video game

Those are rookie numbers

How many days have u logged playing Fight the QO
how many atoms are there in a star
None in a neutron star 🤓
Playing games is fun, not work. Checking if someone is dead is not fun
how many neutrons are in a neutron star
just the one
sounds lonely
Live gameplay, attempting a particularly tricky join
> So, in a typical neutron star, you might find around 1.66×10^57 neutrons. Remember, this number can vary based on the mass of the neutron star and other factors.
My new friend knows many things
12:02
is it a right join
12:33
depends which way u look at it
This is the way!

I can only imagine how much fun that is
how the hell do you get people to pay to play a game that's just doing another boring job

> You know what kind of person loves this? Germans. Picture this - some German bloke comes home from his actual job, probably designing efficient pencil sharpeners or something, and goes "You know what would be great? More work, but pretend work.

I thought it was a joke. "Oh brilliant, I can pretend to be a lorry driver, that's exactly what I need in my life." But turns out, yeah, it actually is what I needed in my life. It’s like a little break for your brain. A mental massage. Just sitting back, letting all the stress float away. Like your brain’s got its feet up with a cuppa, going, ‘Th
@Zikato I would endorse that

Just wait, once they figure out how to hook those games up to real trucks, people will be doing real work and think it's a game
like how you all are training ai by playing with it
@JohnK.N. good job - that was a difficult wordle for me
16:31
@SeanGallardy i thought that was how we were doing drone wars
 
1 hour later…
17:44
Great book, horrible movie
i have no idea what that means
Oh, I thought drone wars was a reference to Ender's Game
which part of that book has drone wars in it?? 😖
They were "playing simulations" but it was them commanding actual ships lightyears away
yea, but it's humans in the ships they command
the only drones are the buggers, but i don't think the phrase "drone war" is ever used
17:51
the phrase is never used, thought it was a typical whimsical reference as is typical in this room
oh whimsy
ever the enemy of clarity
18:21
I'd prefer it if whoever it is was driving trucks instead of drones
Perhaps someone will write a book about that
Begun the drone wars have
18:48
as it was foretold
by someone, probably
maybe even someone who likes good science fiction movies
19:15
not Ender's Game though

Q: Help locally to Sussex with our Oracle DB ORA-01653: unable to extend table SYS.WARNING_SETTINGS$ by 8 in tablespace SYSTEM

user320891hope you can help? Help locally to Sussex or remotely with our Oracle we have just had this message and table space is nearly at max so we assume its to do with this? DB ORA-01653: unable to extend table SYS.WARNING_SETTINGS$ by 8 in tablespace SYSTEM If you can support us to repair this / guidan...

Gives new meaning to “too localized”
Quite odd question mark placement in there
> Member since today
seems like it's gonna be a rough weekend in Sussex
maybe Jack can help
for a Reasonable Fee, of course
or maybe not, looks like his personal site is down 🤷‍♂️
20:05
hey look it's @Lamak
hi @Lamak
how are you @Lamak
not bad, and you?
p. good
having an afternoon espresso
Seems like an Oracle problem
says the guy who can't tell us tomorrow's lottery numbers
do i need to put a quarter in you or something
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling it's too hot here for that
20:14
it's never too hot if you have an air conditioner
true
> I understand how inconvenient this situation must be for you. I'll escalate your request to our escalation team so they can assist you further.
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling You contact Azure CSS?!
i would never
i just ping you
20:30
That tracks
also thank them
preoccupied with a firmware update on a different system that is.... finicky at best.
That worked, now to do the BMC firmware...
how is that encryption is going
Size: 44646.37 GB
BitLocker Version: 2.0
Conversion Status: Fully Encrypted
Percentage Encrypted: 100.0%
apparently I did set the proper switch for used space only
that's a relief
unless you were counting on those sector validations
20:44
I updated the firmware so it needs power cycled anyway
I'll recheck the smart values when I restart the DAS
which I guess I can do now
I see there are some AG fixes in 2019 CU 30
21:01
A chairde - Morning all!
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling With or without grappa?
21:14
OOF really is a big oof isn't it 🗿
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling delegated to variable
@Vérace 2sugary4me
@PaulWhite damn your eyes
Aye aye
21:48
don't start this again
just to bootht your self esteem
22:11
Don't listen to your american cousin, nothing good happens
22:55
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling I was travelling through an airport in London when I dropped my backpack which had an almost full bottle (1 litre!) - broke - I smelled like a down-and-out for the rest of my trip! It wasn't sweet - IIRC the little that I actually got to drink! If you prefer, you could try café-calva or café-marc!
i'm sure it only covered up the whisky and cigarettes a little bit
