09:00

I spent today breathing through my mouth and gaining 275 levels in weaponsmithing

pixel

@OrigamiRobot so that's where all the platinum went

OrigamiRobot

> I am still sick and cannot sleep, so now's as good a time as any to let you know I wont be in tomorrow.

pixel

you filthy mouth breather

OrigamiRobot

:(

pixel

give me your illness so I can be off work too

OrigamiRobot

09:01

@pixel I am coughing into my mic. That's how this work, right?

Yi Jiang

@OrigamiRobot There are nasal decongestant thingies which you can sniff, if that's the problem

pixel

@OrigamiRobot if only it was that simple

@YiJiang cocaine?

@YiJiang mdma?

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang Only part of it. I took some Nyquil this morning and slept and then I took Dayquil and played Guild Wars.

Minimal help.

Yi Jiang

pixel

eww

oh yay i got another gold badge

OrigamiRobot

09:04

My goto method is to lay in bed with my head hanging upside-down off the edge

pixel

@OrigamiRobot that doesn't sound very comfy

OrigamiRobot

It's not, but it works sometimes.

This might be an upper respiratory infection, which means a couple weeks of horrible congestion.

Yi Jiang

I have blocked nose fairly often. The only thing that works is to carry on doing whatever you're suppose to be doing, but carry around half a dozen packets of tissue whenever there's stuff coming out of the nose.

@OrigamiRobot Mine feel more like allergies. They come and go very often.

OrigamiRobot

I don't have a spleen, so pretty much anything puts me out of commission.

pixel

NO SPLEEN?!

poor you

Yi Jiang

09:08

If you feel like reading internet drama, there was a big row on Math.SE recently.

pixel

does that mean I can call you a mudblood and be technically correct?

(in that you have dirty blood)

Yi Jiang

@pixel Yeah, how do you get on without your spleen doing... uh... the stuff spleens do?

pixel

it's not a vital organ

it's just a blood filter

I could recite the wikipedia article and make out I'm clever

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang It hold blood and does immune system stuffs.

pixel

but that would be misleading

I hate christmas

I've gained weight

I'm now just over 8st

whereas normally I'm just under

I blame copious amounts of cake

OrigamiRobot

09:10

I don't know what those words mean.

pixel

let me convert measurements into metric for you

Yi Jiang

►

pixel

@OrigamiRobot 8st = @51kg

I was probably ~50kg before

and now I'm ~52, I'd guess

OrigamiRobot

kilograaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmssssssssss

Yi Jiang

OrigamiRobot

pixel

@YiJiang I dislike that song

OrigamiRobot

or somamt

Yi Jiang

@pixel Oh come on, cheer up

pixel

cheer up? that's one of the most miserable sounding songs I've ever heard

plus, I spent most of the weekend watching a documentary on the creation of that song

against my wishes

it wasn't even a weekend

Yi Jiang

@pixel That would be depressing, yeush

pixel

09:12

why do I feel like today is Monday

Yi Jiang

It's Thursday. You just have to survive today and tomorrow

OrigamiRobot

You still weight a lot less than me and people say I'm skinny.

So take that.

pixel

@OrigamiRobot girls are lighter than boys, it happens

Yi Jiang

Eh, depends on your height. And maybe your sex.

pixel

I'm also probably somewhat shorter than you

I will convert that for you now, rather than tell you something that looks like gibberish

OrigamiRobot

09:14

I'm 5'8"

pixel

165cm

or 5'5"

OrigamiRobot

but my driver's license says 5'9"

pixel

my drivers license says I'm 5ft5

but my drivers license also says I have blonde hair

so it can't be trusted

OrigamiRobot

Your driver's license says feet?

Yi Jiang

I'm 185cm, 77kg. Male. That's a BMI of 22.5, which apparently, is normal.

pixel

09:15

probably

we don't use metric for anything

my bmi is 18.7, which is on the border for 'underweight'

OrigamiRobot

I have brown hair and brown eyes and a pink tongue and pale skin and a big scar on my stomach

My belly button is no longer in the middle of me, it is off to one side.

pixel

I have black hair with blue highlights, green eyes, pink tongue, not very pale skin, and no scars

OrigamiRobot

From the spleen thing

pixel

you know your spleen is under your left arm right

well - was!

;)

OrigamiRobot

It probably was after the car hit me

Yi Jiang

09:18

WolframAlpha helpfully tells me that my height of 185cm is approximately 1.1 times the average human height

badp

Yi Jiang you're not fat, stop worrying

Yi Jiang

@badp Oh, thanks.

OrigamiRobot

I have a Van Dyke and a top hat and a Bridge Coat and bushy eyebrows

Please don't use this information for police sketches

pixel

"er... yes, the man who assaulted me was about 5ft 8 with a scar... oh and his belly button was off center"

"please find him"

badp

"English feet or American feet madame?"

pixel

09:22

...

I wonder how well @badp would burn if I covered him in petrol and set fire to him

Yi Jiang

@pixel Very.

pixel

I still think it needs testing... for science and all that

I need to rep cap

I can't be bothered to post anything

badp

oh get off me I even set up my keyboard to English UK in order to appease your obsessive compulsive spelling needs

OrigamiRobot

My shoe size is 10-11 depending on the brand

pixel

I need hats

OrigamiRobot

09:25

That is all the information I can think of

I love pancakes and macaroni and cheese

badp

now one word every five I write becomes one of " please", " tea", " crumpets" and " bloody"

OrigamiRobot

and peanut butter

Yi Jiang

@badp Arse it.

OrigamiRobot

@pixel hatsinthebelfry.com/product/belfry-john-bull.html

pixel

I don't want real hats

I have real hats

badp

09:28

curses, arse is not on the bloody dictionary. this must be fixed tea once

pixel

I need virtual arqade hats

OrigamiRobot

NO

REAL HATS OR NOTHING

pixel

I HAVE REAL HATS

I DONT WANT MORE REAL HATS

YOU ARE NOT MY DAD

OrigamiRobot

You can never have too many real hats

pixel

I have more irl hats than I have shoes

OrigamiRobot

09:30

I do too

Yi Jiang

@badp It shall be done at once, guv'nor

OrigamiRobot

Most of them are old baseball caps though.

pixel

I need the necromancer hat, and the 5 day rep cap hat

OrigamiRobot

I don't wear those anymore

NOT CLASSY ENOUGH

pixel

@OrigamiRobot if you upvote this high quality answer I will get the necromancer hat and love you long time

Yi Jiang

09:31

I wish to inquire, ladies and gents, how do y'all aquire ya fashionable head accessories?

pixel

@YiJiang from shops

OrigamiRobot

Ma'am, I am a gentleman

@OrigamiRobot you are not gentle

badp

origami crumpets do your fancy bloody real hat burn forever green flames without consuming or heating?

OrigamiRobot

09:32

@pixel Am too :(

pixel

@OrigamiRobot you should make yourself a hot toddy

it will resolve your feeling of illness and likely knock you out

OrigamiRobot

I don't know what that means

pixel

I... what

I thought that was an american thing

Yi Jiang

@OrigamiRobot I don't think Santa delivers that far

pixel

maybe its canadian

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am a teetotaler and I don't have a TV.

pixel

ok let me google what teetotaler is

you abstain from alcohol

so do I, just with exceptions

like when people force feed me large quantities of alcohol against my wishes

and I am sure that there are laws I could exercise to resolve that

OrigamiRobot

I have Ludens

pixel

are they like cough sweets

OrigamiRobot

09:37

yes

pixel

I don't even use those

OrigamiRobot

Do you call cough drops cough sweets?

pixel

since I end up eating them like sweets

badp

I bloody googled that thinking it must've been a syndrome preventing you from enjoying alcohol

pixel

which is great, when the ones I'm eating are strepsils

which are a local anaesthetic

@OrigamiRobot well, I do, I'm sure they have a more formal name

Yi Jiang

09:39

@badp You two don't know what a teetotaler is?

pixel

if I ask for cough sweets I will get something resembling them back in return

OrigamiRobot

@badp I lost my spleen during the summer after my freshman year, so everyone thought my lack of spleen prevented me from drinking.

pixel

well I imagine that a lack of spleen would result in you not wanting to drink

badp

honestly I googled Ludens

pixel

what with you missing your blood filter

OrigamiRobot

09:39

@pixel I was just wondering, because these are barely medicated, they're just delicious.

Yi Jiang

@OrigamiRobot Shouldn't it be the liver that handles the alcohols

pixel

@OrigamiRobot oh right

when I say cough sweets, I mean something like strepsils

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang Yea, but people are idiots

@badp Oh, separate subject.

I am not all the way coherent

Yi Jiang

@OrigamiRobot Cough medication here, the once that you suck on in your mouth, contains a mild anesthetic that leaves your mouth numb for a while

OrigamiRobot

it is 4:40am

badp

09:41

the spleen is the indigo equivalent of bloody parts

people barely know it exists let alone what it does

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang That's the way most cough drops are

pixel

@OrigamiRobot still early

Yi Jiang

@OrigamiRobot I don't really think that's an enjoyable experience

pixel

I stay up later than this on a work night to play GW2 with you!

OrigamiRobot

@badp I have to answer "Yes" to "Do you have AIDS, HIV, or some other immune system deficiency?" on medical forms.

Because they just lump all that together

badp

09:43

origami crumpets please consider adopting a more sensible time zone. thanks, Europe

pixel

@OrigamiRobot You have AIDS, HIV, or some other immune system deficiency?

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang That's why I get Ludens, they don't numb your mouth, but they taste great and they do help a little.

pixel

dirty mudblood

OrigamiRobot

@pixel lack of spleen

pixel

i know i know

and what with you picking fault with my grammar while I was intoxicated

Yi Jiang

09:44

@pixel He did get muggled by the car, just that once

OrigamiRobot

NO

badp

okay, that about immune deficency sucks :-(

OrigamiRobot

NO HARRY POTTER PUNS AT MY EXPENSE

pixel

@OrigamiRobot ssh muggle

OrigamiRobot

i will sneeze on your entire families.

pixel

09:46

go for it, I want an excuse to get high off anaesthetics

besides, I have an immune system

;p

OrigamiRobot

Ouch, that hurts right where my spleen used to be.

badp

goes ban pixel for a crumpet

pixel

TRY IT @BADP

Yi Jiang

@badp You will ban people for crumpets? Hang on, going out to get a truckload of that stuff...

badp

this crumpet you are banned from it pixel

pixel

09:47

under no circumstances should I get banned for being me, when GnomeSlice can be himself and not get banned

badp

this crumpet is officially not yours

pixel

I don't care, I don't like crumpets

CRUMPET FREE ZONE

Yi Jiang

@badp You English is good not so?

OrigamiRobot

I WANT POTATO SOUP

Yi Jiang

@OrigamiRobot GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP

badp

09:48

anybody can enjoy this crumpet so long as it is not pixel

@badp English - do you speak it?

badp

Yi Jiang wtb commas

pixel

@OrigamiRobot mmm soup

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang I can't. :(

Yi Jiang

@badp No, I, have, loads, of, them.

pixel

09:49

@OrigamiRobot sure you could, you could repeatedly bang your head against the wall until you knock yourself out

I don't condone the above method of getting sleep*

OrigamiRobot

@pixel That requires energy.

pixel

@OrigamiRobot I would say 'line of coke gives you energy', but it probably wouldn't make it up to the blood vessels in your nose

badp

origami crumpets, just close your eyes and NOP for a while

I wish I could NOP

OrigamiRobot

I caught up on some of my comics today

pixel

NOOP

OrigamiRobot

They tried to bring back one of my favorite characters who died, but it went wrongs

Yi Jiang

@OrigamiRobot Hush now, quiet now.

Yi Jiang

Also, you know that staring at a bright screen really doesn't help with the whole, sleep thing, right?

NOOP

200 NOOP to you too!

Yi Jiang

I'm going for dinner soon.

OrigamiRobot

@badp No, they put his body in a machine that would put his brain into a replica. The problem was, he has three brains and they got 3 different clones.

Yi Jiang

NOM NOM NOM

OrigamiRobot

One of which was a lady.

09:55

mmm dinner

Yi Jiang

I should really stop stepping into random portals in Dungeon of Dredmor

Diggle Hell is real, by the way.

OrigamiRobot

Also, Nightcrawler teleported a shark inside The Blob.

eugh

today

I am going to transfer large quantities of video to my work pc

and watch them, instead of working

Yi Jiang

@pixel Sounds like a fantastic idea! PS. Can I have your boss' email?

pixel

sure but she won't get the mail until sometime in Jan

besides lets not mess about

OrigamiRobot

I bet @badp can't move stuff to Android Hell from mobile

pixel

now I can legitimately sleep under my desk and not get in trouble

OrigamiRobot

@pixel Unless you get trapped under there. That's trouble

pixel

right, transferring NCIS s10e10, going to go get coffee

OrigamiRobot

10:03

What is that?

pixel

you are messing with me now

Yi Jiang

NCIS is a TV show. Season 10, episode 10.

How are you doing the transferring, by the way?

OrigamiRobot

No, the other thing

OrigamiRobot

@pixel What do you mean now?

OrigamiRobot

Yi Jiang

@pixel At that speed I think you can stream the TV shows directly from your home computer

pixel

@YiJiang well, the bandwidth is there, but I don't have any experience with making that stuff work

Yi Jiang

VLC can also act as a streaming server I think, though I never set it up as one before

but can't concentrate with all this background noise

it's ok though, the choice to make all this noise was made by management

so they can explain to themselves why it didn't happen

Yi Jiang

@pixel Actually, after staring at that graph, I'd say it's fairly inaccurate. 'Mobile' browsing is shown as less than Chrome in 2009, and so small it doesn't even register before that.

That seems wrong, given that the iPhone was introduced in 2007, and even before than mobile phones were capable of accessing websites.

Biweekly or gtfo

pixel

biweekly is twice a week, you obviously didn't mean that

surely you mean fortnightly

LessPop_MoreFizz

13:27

Biweekly

Biweekly has two conflicting meanings. One sense of the word refers to an event that occurs every two weeks, while the other sense refers to an event that occurs twice in a given week. Both senses have been in use for over a century. The term fortnightly can be used less ambiguously for the first sense, with a two week interval equivalent to one fortnight. Semi-weekly, similarly, can be used for the second sense; every half week or twice a week. There are fifty-two weeks in a year of twelve months, making for a possible 26 (or 104) biweekly events in a year. (This is a greater number ...

pixel

at least it's acknowledged that (a) I'm not crazy (b) I'm not wrong (c) it's got a conflicted meaning

LessPop_MoreFizz

@pixel Yes. But I'm of the 'biweekly means every 2, and semi-weekly means twice a week' school of thought.

'fortnight' is archaic and or british, neither of which is useful unless you want to come off as a faux-elitist prick.

well I'm sorry that I am an elitist prick
