@Ave BLAZE IT

It's legal in Canada and everything, although supposedly the legal cannabis is terrible and overpriced. At least in Nova Scotia.

Ave

surprising

you'd expect the opposite

Wipqozn

I've been told it's never fresh when you buy it from the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation?

I've never smoked before, so I'm not sure on all the details.

likewise, I'm too cool and hip to do drugs and smoke

So my friend got my Oxygen Not Included for my birthday yesterday... but as I've mentioned before, I don't really want it... :/

Sep 16 at 18:38, by Mage Xy

It's, uh... kind of annoying, actually, he's completely turned me off from ever trying the game because he's so obnoxious about it

So now it's sitting in my Steam inventory. I don't want to decline it because then he'll see the notification that I rejected the gift

ToxicFrog

:/

Mage Xy

But I also don't want to accept it because I'm not interested in the game and it's a waste of money to just let it sit there

GnomeSlice

@MageXy It's a great game from what I hear

@Wipqozn It's really not. Everyone I know says "why do you order it from the gubmint it's shit and overpriced"

I pay about the same I paid before and don't have to go out and get into a jeep for a drug deal and honestly I've had no real issues with the quality

People who have been smoking for like 30 years think it sucks I guess cause it's new and packaged differently

Steve-o169

I don't get it -- I think about half of the games in my steam library have never been played

GnomeSlice

@TimStone Pods?

Tim Stone

3:08 PM

lol

GnomeSlice

@Frank Really depends on what you mean by quality and the strain. There is a strain I use to manage my Tourette's and muscle pain that has like 5% THC which my buddy who smokes every day says is garbage. I really like it

I got some stuff from Seth Rogan's brand that has like... 25% THC. That shit will hit you like a train but it's a sativa which means it makes you want to get up and do something creative as opposed to just sit on your couch and not do anything. There are a ton of great options online people just for whatever reason refuse to jump on board with the legal options

My buddy says I'm overpaying but he spends like $300 a month on distillates and other cartridges from BC illegally so 🤷‍♂️

Maybe I just don't have good taste. I had one really dry batch one time from Redecan who I've heard that is an issue with before but I just used it in my vape

Steve-o169

I once tried a strain that was .5% THC but had a super high CBD content and it just made all pains go away with no high at all. If you're using for medical reasons, dispensaries are great

SaintWacko

I wonder if I can use speaker wire to power an LED light strip

GnomeSlice

CBD is great. I use really low THC and really high CBD to manage Tourette's and the muscle pain it causes

@Steve-o169 Here in Canada you can literally order it online from the government too, although dispensaries are starting to pop up more now that they're handing out more licenses

Delivers in like 3 days

Steve-o169

@GnomeSlice I wish I could get deliveries like that. CBD oils are legal in my state but otherwise, everything else is illegal still

the problem with street product is that you never know what you're getting in terms of THC content

GnomeSlice

3:14 PM

I've never tried oils

Yeah idk I had a guy who gave me pretty consistent stuff he would give me the stains and where it came from beforehand but you're absolutely right

Yuuki

@MageXy I don't get anything for my friends' birthdays that isn't on their wishlist.

It's just a recipe for a bad time.

GnomeSlice

I would go to the actual brick and mortar stores but getting downtown is such a pain for me

Mage Xy

@Yuuki Uh, that might be part my fault, actually... it was on my wishlist from when I added it several years ago

I just haven't trimmed it in a long time

Should probably do that :P

Steve-o169

I take regular trips to Michigan so I've been waiting for them to iron out the whole recreational shops laws... still pretty easy to find there compared to NC. they still have the medical dispensaries and it's super easy to get the med card

Yuuki

3:21 PM

@Dragonrage @MageXy "Xayah is just Kalista if Kalista did damage"

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice It probably varies a lot between provinces

Mage Xy

@Yuuki That's a hot take but I kinda agree. It's a similar playstyle.

Yuuki

I don't miss Kalista's crazy hopping but it's kinda sad that she's in the trash heap.

And has been for awhile now.

That hopping just makes her either OP or garbage, I guess.

Mage Xy

She's in the trash heap because she's really hard to balance for both solo queue and pro play. The jumping mechanic, while cool, is way too powerful in the right hands.

Yuuki

Yeah, mini-dashes with every auto-attack makes it really annoying to hit her with skillshots.

What if they just moved it a passive on her Q?

Instead of hopping every attack, she can choose to hop after a Q-cast.

Mage Xy

3:26 PM

She already can

Yuuki

Yes, but remove the jump mechanic from auto-attack, I mean.

Reduce the CD (and damage, I suppose) on her Q so she can still hop a lot but not as often.

Mage Xy

That might work

Yuuki

Not sure if jump distance should be tied to ability rank since, IIRC, most Kalistas max Q last.

It's R -> E -> W -> Q, right?

Since you get max health damage on W procs?

Tim Stone

@GnomeSlice lol I saw someone make that joke but without the Tide parts, this one is better

Mage Xy

Kalista is one of two ADCs (the other being Lucian) that I don't play, so I don't actually know the skill order. I know you max E first (besides the ult) but I don't know about W and Q.

Dragonrage

3:35 PM

@Yuuki so, kindred?

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Speaking of, I want a Kindred rework.

@MageXy I feel like I should learn Lucian since you can flex him mid and top, plus he has a stronger early-game than the other ADCs.

Mage Xy

Lucian is good, but he needs to play very aggro otherwise he will fall behind.

I'm not a very aggro player so I don't usually do well on him.

Yuuki

Yeah, I only get aggro when I have some kind of massive advantage, like a ranged vs. melee match-up.

Unless it's Darius because Darius is ridiculous.

@Unionhawk While you're in the mood for wat, have a go at http://127.1

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn actually I'm not sure, but I know the "Ontario cannabis store" is the online portal here, so I'm sure they have regional differences in distribution. But people say the same complaints here and it's really really overblown imo

Unionhawk

@fredley that one at least kind of makes sense

GnomeSlice

What's more distressing is that there are still people in prison for trying to pay their bills by selling drugs and now the government is trying to pay its bills by selling drugs

fredley

4:33 PM

@Unionhawk How does it know which octets are missing?

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Yeah, legalizing marijuana should automatically include amnesty for anyone in jail for selling/possessing marijuana

GnomeSlice

Mostly yeah

Unionhawk

@fredley I mean, 127.0.0.0/8 is reserved and the most common is .0.0.1

GnomeSlice

Believe it or not there are people selling marijuana cut with other things but it's pretty rare

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Right, but in that case it wouldn't be considered selling marijuana

fredley

4:35 PM

@Unionhawk http://192.168.1

SaintWacko

It'd be selling the other things

fredley

@Unionhawk http://1.1

GnomeSlice

Also depends what else they were doing and the circumstances of the operation. For example selling to minors

But for the most part agree

Unionhawk

@fredley does chrome just choose to interpret partials as missing zeroes before the last one specified?

GnomeSlice

@TimStone Right? 😄

fredley

4:36 PM

@Unionhawk Nope, this works everywhere, try curl, wget, etc.

>>> socket.gethostbyname("127.1")

ToxicFrog

Wait so are missing octets implicitly 0? Huh.

murgatroid99

4:56 PM

IPv6 works the same way and is used that way more commonly, so it doesn't really surprise me

fredley

@ToxicFrog Yeah, but the spec is weird as to which ones

twitter.com/0xinfection/status/1148267196306427904

> IPv4 is usually denoted as <octet>.<octet>.<octet>.<octet> (ff.0.1.2).

However, it can also be denoted as hex 0xff000102 or a number as in decimal notation. However, 4.2BSD's inet_aton() allowed IPs as decimal <octet>.<24bit-decimal> or <octet>.<octet>.<16bits-decimal>.

murgatroid99

oh, so nothing is implicitly zero, it's just treating the last number as having a higher bit width if there aren't 4 numbers

fredley

5:16 PM

@murgatroid99 yarp

ToxicFrog

Aha

fredley

But that point at which you realise IP addresses are valid in decimal notation, and literally indistinguishable from the phone numbers they really are.

Q: Do tiles have to be worked in order to get the yields?

I never really understand how tile yields work (Civ 6 Gathering Storm).

It seems to me in order to get the yields of a tile, it has to be worked by a citizen. But...

The ultralight in question takes off like a rocket, it really doesn't want to be on the ground at all once it gets moving; but it's also very forgiving. If you let go of the controls it just politely settles into level flight until you take them again.

ToxicFrog

@Elise I don't know -- maybe you're getting faster results, maybe I'm underestimating myself?

Elise

10:27 PM

@ToxicFrog could be a combination of both 🤷‍♀️

I had quite a lot of progress within the first 3 months, then it actually stopped with the dose increase, but I think there has been some minor growth recently

I don't really have anyone to compare myself to, other than random strangers on reddit... I don't know any trans people irl 😐

Looking at my logs I did start a few months before you, so 🤷♀

Alex and Suzie got along really well from the beginning, somewhere I have a (poorly lit) photo of them both asleep under the same blanket

Elise

The cat has always been cautious around the baby, because he doesn't like unpredictable things and there's nothing more unpredictable than a baby

I wouldn't say they don't get along though, it's just the child can be a bit rough (she's in 97th percentile in height and weight of children her age) and the cat doesn't like that

usually, if she's not going full speed towards him and isn't shouting, he's cautious, but he doesn't seem to mind her too much

sometimes he'll even come over and sniff her if she's calm and quiet

he behaves like he's young, but also infinitely wise

Wise...definitely does not describe either of my cats at all.

@ToxicFrog I have never seen a cat as wise as mine and I hear that from anyone that has met him

he also has incredible sense of time and he likes when everyone follows a routine

he knows what time I get up for work, what time I get home, what time I go for a nap before work and when I have to go for a nap after work (I work night shifts with no set days)

when I'm late coming home from work, he gets anxious

if I'm not gone for a nap on time, he comes to me and meows at me

he could make a great parent 🙄
