@KevinvanderVelden Western world, at least

I think we're left compared to e.g. Iran

@fredley Was just talking to a coworker about how my 4 year old daughter was talking to me about something that happened at daycare that made me realize they do lockdown drills there (like there is a gunman in the building) and the coworker responded with "Thank the Trump Fear Factory"

Which made no sense, and still makes no sense, but at least now I know what he'd just been watching

Mad Scientist

@Sterno That sounds pretty insane. I suspect it would be national news here if a daycare would try something like this

Sterno

pretty awful pre-bedtime conversation with your kid when she's telling you about how her teachers pretended to be bad guys and the kids had to be as quiet as they could and you realize halfway through what she's really talking about

I doubt they actually ever said anything about guns

fredley

9:11 PM

@Sterno :(

Sterno

They turn off lights, shutter the windows, and have the kids be quiet (from what I can gather... she's four and I didn't want to dig too deep into it)

user15026

@Sterno Oh wow. I mean I guess safety and all that, but man. That's starting the fear young....

fredley

@Sterno Similar to nuke drills in the late 20th century I gues

Sterno

@Ash I'm 99% certain it's some sort of liability thing. I mean, if they don't do these, they weren't prepared and we can all sue them!

Duck and cover!

murgatroid99

I remember doing lockdown drills in high school. I suspect I would have done it younger, except that it wasn't really a thing until I was in high school

user15026

@Sterno yeah, I'm sure it is, but man, I can see it making a lot of kids really freaked out

Sterno

Indeed.

Always fun when my daughter randomly says "I don't want to die."

user15026

Sounds like loads of fun :(

Sterno

Yesterday it started with "I don't want to live by bad guys"

9:16 PM

@Sterno WELP

Sterno

In other news, I'm reading that Duck & Cover actually can be effective.

(at certain ranges)

Dragonrage

I had a 5 hour lockdown at my high school once. We had 4 gunmen on campus.

They had just held up the gas station down the street

> To highlight the effect that being indoors, and especially below ground can make, despite the lethal open air radiation, blast and thermal zone extending well past her position at Hiroshima,[32] Akiko Takakura survived the effects of the 16 kt atomic bomb at a distance of 300 meters from ground zero, sustaining only minor injuries, due in greatest part to her position in the lobby of the Bank of Japan, a reinforced concrete building, at the time of the nuclear explosion

> and to highlight the protection conferred to an individual who is below ground during a nuclear air burst, Eizo Nomura survived the same blast at Hiroshima at a distance of 170 meters from ground zero.[46] Nomura, who was in the basement of what is now known as the rest house, also a reinforced concrete building,[46] lived into his early 80s.

@Sterno my guess is state law

> The advice to cover one's exposed skin with anything that can cast a shadow, like the picnic blanket and newspaper used by the family in the film, may seem absurd at first when one considers the capabilities of a nuclear weapon, but even the thinnest of barriers such as cloth or plant leaves would reduce the severity of burns on the skin from the thermal radiation

Unionhawk

9:23 PM

Yeah turns out the advice from your generation has nonzero merit

Dragonrage

Everyone will die in a nuclear apocalypse, except @Sterno who will survive by hiding behind newspaper.

Unionhawk

Fun fact in total atomic annihilation, my school is within the blast range of target 2 (Wright Patterson AFB)

Sterno

What's a newspaper? I'll have to hide behind my phone or PC, I guess

I think in the case of a global nuclear war, dying quickly might be the preferable option instead of barely surviving for a moment

HYPE CONTINUES

user15026

@Dragonrage Well, unless they're a filled donut?

Dragonrage

@Ash filled donuts are filled with other stuff

user15026

9:35 PM

True :)

murgatroid99

But the filling of the donut is still part of the donut

Dragonrage

@murgatroid99 no filling is filling not doughnut

murgatroid99

It's a component of the complete donut

KutuluMike

@badp for some reason, Shog felt the need to come to Mos Eisley to give us this news in person.. I can't imagine why :|

Dragonrage

@murgatroid99 no, a doughnut without filling is a complete doughnut

Unionhawk

9:37 PM

@badp wat

Good gravy

murgatroid99

@Dragonrage In "<something>-filled donut", "<something>-filled" is an adjective. The object as a whole is the donut

fredley

But was it a donut before the filling went in?

Was the filling a donut

Unionhawk

Yes

fredley

Did the donut part turn the filling into donut?

badp

@Unionhawk yeah and by "vote to" timeout I mean "actually" timeout

murgatroid99

9:40 PM

Are chair legs parts of a chair? Yes. Are they themselves chairs? No

fredley

@murgatroid99 But a chair without legs is not a chair either

KutuluMike

@badp it's a very binding vote

Unionhawk

@fredley I mean if you want to get that obtuse, are icing, sprinkles, and glaze part of the donut?

fredley

none of the component parts are a chair until they are together

murgatroid99

@fredley You've never seen a chair without legs?

badp

9:40 PM

@KutuluMike would you call it a closure?

fredley

a donut is a donut without filling, and a donut is a donut when it is filled

KutuluMike

@badp possibly!

fredley

@murgatroid99 Not one that's also designed to have legs

Unionhawk

@badp I assume it's limited to on the order of tens of seconds right?

badp

@Unionhawk ONLY ONE WAY TO KNOW

Dragonrage

9:41 PM

@murgatroid99 Look, when you try to analyze a good joke, you cannot appreciate it's humor. Just accept it for what it is, laugh ah it, star it, and move on.

fredley

But a donut that is designed to have filling is also a donut before the filling goes in

I am too drunk for this

badp

keep in mind that you won't get to see the StackExchange ChatBreakout MesmerizingCountdown™ without resorting to incognito mode

Unionhawk

@badp time out android he'll?

murgatroid99

@Dragonrage I wasn't even responding to the joke. The analysis started before I entered the conversation

Unionhawk

It's definitely limited and definitely less than 600000000000000000000000000000000000000

but no feedback on how less

badp

9:43 PM

@Unionhawk did you forget to put a message?

Unionhawk

I put a message

badp

well then, time to bisect!!

I would start with a log-bisect

it's just a hunch

Dragonrage

@badp are you going to bisect a frog?

Unionhawk

It's at least 9999 seconds, which is 2 hours and 46 minutes

Which is excessive for all RO purposes

badp

do keep in mind that any other RO can undo your thing

Unionhawk

9:45 PM

Right

I just feel like anything outside the order of minutes is excessive for most purposes

badp

> try to pick a duration that will allow participants to reflect without driving them to leave (unless things are so bad that's your goal).

I put the room on timeout for a day, AND SO CAN YOU

Unionhawk

Well, maybe...

two bugs

@badp BISECT!!! START!!!

Dragonrage

@badp didn't you then make everyone room owners to correct that mistake?

badp

@Dragonrage yes

it was pretty glorious.

I mean I ownered 10 people then @MadScientist showed me how it's done.

Unionhawk

9:47 PM

Yep, 1 day is availible

2 days is not

Dragonrage

fix mod abuse with more mod abuse. quite a clever solution

badp

I have mod abuse, I have the best mod abuse

Mad Scientist

MAKE SE GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!

Unionhawk

I feel like doing that again won't be nearly as funny since we know how to undo it

badp

@Unionhawk sometimes great comedy is made greater by its nonceness

that said our typical approach to comedy is to grind jokes into a fine paste

until it's funny again

so eh it's anyone's guess.

NBN-Alex

9:50 PM

You're not my real chat mod ~runs off crying~

Dragonrage

@badp what @badp is saying is that you should never not mod abuse for the sake of entertainment. Or something

badp

Mod Abuse For Good

Unionhawk

@badp But like, that moment was made special by the fact that nobody had any idea how to undo that, until @MadScientist tried doing 1 second

KutuluMike

@badp urmom is a fine paste.

Dragonrage

@NBN-Alex well, I mean, I didn't vote for him

@KutuluMike oooooooooh cc @Wipqozn

badp

9:54 PM

@Dragonrage it's terrible

user15026

@Dragonrage I hate hearing myself speak.

user15026

I mean I know it's because of how the sound gets to my own ears and how it gets to yours and vibrations and lalalalala but it is just weird

badp

@Ash I wish it was the other way around and my actual voice was deeper

I'd be okay with that.

but noooo you have to sound two octaves or so higher and it's the most ridiculous thing
