#TooMuchWorkMonday
 
I'm starting a training in 10 minutes.
online, all day. I guess that means no work :D
Also, I'm disappointed some people are truly promoting 'be glad you even have a job' as an argument not to make employers pay employees for the power and heating costs they have to make due to working from home being made mandatory by employers.
 
Morning!
@Tinkeringbell :D
@Tinkeringbell :/
@lila that reminded me of this (not related)
> XXII

> so much depends upon
> a red wheel barrow
> glazed with rain water
> beside the white chickens.
"The Red Wheelbarrow" is a poem by American modernist poet and physician William Carlos Williams (1883–1963). The poem was originally published without a title and was designated as "XXII" as the twenty-second work in Williams' 1923 book Spring and All, a hybrid collection which incorporated alternating selections of free verse poetry and prose. It is one of Williams' most frequently anthologized poems, and is considered a prime example of early twentieth-century Imagism. == Writing and publication == The pictorial style in which the poem is written owes much to the photographs of Alfred Stieglitz...

Can't be sure

Today is "crappy mood me" (that what happens when I don't have enough sleep)
 
7:35 AM
My mood isn't improving either...
The instructor is blabbering about Mario Kart instead of hurrying up with the training.
 
hi

I am currently reading the fanfiction of a fanfiction (#Inception)
 
#fanfiception
 
Ael
Hehe :p
Also, it is good and I am very grateful for that (I am planning to read a lot of fanfiction of this fanfiction because the original fanfiction is very, very good)
 
What is it?
 
Ael
It's called "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality", you can read it for free on the internet
 
oh okay
Thanks :)
 
Ael
1:17 PM
I was talking about it this weekend if you want to scroll the chat
If you are thinking about reading it, please be assured that it ends well (not knowing that it ended well caused me a lot of distressed when reading it)
It's not a "Game of Throne" kind of story
 
I'm not reading that much these days but I'll keep that name in mind when I'm looking for something new
 
Ael
Apparently, it's the most read and beloved HP fanfiction ever written. It was translated in numerous language and I actually read it in French (though there was some translation mistakes that were a bit annoying)
@avazula If you have read "Ender's game" (by Orson Scott Card) and liked it, you will probably most definitively love it
 
I loved Ender's Game!
 
Ael
Ah, me too!
And the author the fanfict too (there is a lot of "wink" to it in this fanfic)
 
Oooh
Sounds interesting
 
Ael
1:24 PM
IMO, it's almost like a cross fanfiction of the too universe ^^
@avazula Since you did love Ender's Game, I am sorry to tell you this: you will be in a state of deep sorrow when you will have finish the story for the only reason that the story will be over and that you want more
 
aren't there a bunch of other books in the series
(I only read Ender's Game, didn't like it much, and didn't read any of the others)
 
Ael
@Mithical Well, yes and no? Like the story was written and then they "cut" it into several books but when I am talking about "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" I am talking about the whole thing and not the "book" number 1
 
I see
 
Ael
But there are still (apparently good) fanfiction of this fanfiction so it's like there are other books in this "serie" except that it's not really the case since they are all fanfiction by different author
@Mithical If you didn't like Ender's Game much (especialy the battles part) then you might not like "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality much
 
The Battle School battles were fine.. it's the rest of the Battle School I didn't like
 
Ael
1:33 PM
Ah, then maybe you will like HPMOR. I don't know since I did like mostly everything about Ender's Game (though the part I loved most was the battles and the whole entertaining strategies going with it)
Anyway, in the second (or third?) "book" of HPMOR, there is a whole similar things with battles and it's very fun and entertaining
 
1:50 PM
I just got a call... next Saturday, I'll be picking up my very own car..............
 
2:09 PM
+1,949 new cases (+17 deaths), surpassing 100k cases :/
@Tinkeringbell is that a good thing? i see too many dots XD
 
@CaldeiraG It's good but it's making me nervous XD
It does mean I'll spend some time in the car getting it explained by the dealer... I was requested to bring a mask for that purpose.
 
@Tinkeringbell ah XD, nice
@Tinkeringbell 1st car?
 
@CaldeiraG Yep
 
@Tinkeringbell congrats :D
 
Thanks! :D
 
2:11 PM
something similar happened to my family back in 2015, a new Ford Tourneo Courier from the Ford dealership :P
Similar experience in '17 with a Ford Fiesta, both fresh new cars
We used to buy used before so this was very exciting and some anxiety kicked in
As for me, no point having a car, i'll just borrow one XD
 
Yeah for me it's mostly the idea that I'm going out while supposed to stay inside, and going to be in rather 'closed' quarters too, with someone that does that with several people each day...
And then I'll have to drive a car home that I don't really know XD
 
@Tinkeringbell Yeah, that is stressful but hopefully it will be fine :)
@Tinkeringbell XD atleast it smells good
 
Hahaha I hope so :D
 
Well, 1 hour left to go home, the problem is that it's raining pretty bad here
And of course, I don't have any umbrella
 
Ugh. Only 34 minutes of talking to listen here, I hope XD
Then it's off to dinner, then I get to play Animal Crossing. I'm thinking of inviting random people over tonight.
 
2:41 PM
nice
well, this monday gets better
2 of our 3 servers are back online
 
Nice, back to work then? ;)
 
@Tinkeringbell I think so yea
I mean, I don't have that much to do since everything stopped and no one could ask for improvements
 
Yeah, well.. hopefully this will end some of the boredom for you :)
 
@Tinkeringbell yep :)

4:11 PM
@CaldeiraG In my land + 7482 new cases of the parasite, a little decline since last two days, but still I think it could be statistical variation, I mean maybe they just did less tests.
 
8015 here, which is less than the 8184 from the day before, but there's always a dip on Mondays. Tomorrow we'll also know how many of the total tests taken last week were positive (percentage wise) and we'll know for sure how bad it's gotten.

Q: What to do when nobody reads your question before "answering" them?

FrustratedThis problem was one of the main reasons I left IRC forever. (That, and it being a complete ghost town in later years.) No matter how short and concise and well I write a question here, it almost always won't be actually read by the people who respond to it. I can literally include a "PS" predict...

 
6:29 PM
This sounds like a lot of frustration with a question. I understand the frustration, but it makes answering the question harder. I'd suggest trimming this down to be more focused on the question rather than the challenges with getting a good answer. — baldPrussian 1 min ago

@ips cat?
 
Okay peace out.
 
Ael
Yeah, if the bot doesn't answer that means it's dead (@cald)
 
@Ael Does it ping if you don't write the full name really does it work? :o
 
Ael
6:34 PM
Yes, it does. It's the same as if I write @lil instead of your full name
 
@A
Okay :D
I guess it must be unambigous :D
Are you pinged @cal
It's neat I didn't know it pings even if you don't write full name :O
It's interesting how this works and fascinating, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm tired of the earthworm pandemic.
 
Ael
6:58 PM
@lila You need to use at least three letters
And it doesn't need to be unambigous, it will just ping multiple people at the time ^^
 
@Ael Oh thanks for info, the more I know!
 
 
4 hours later…
10:56 PM
@lila yes i am
:D
i'll check it out
i wonder what causes these sudden non-responses
@IPSCommentBot fp
forgot bot doesn't respond to past message
