Morning!

Little downtime around 5-6PM BST on bot since I'm moving my Pi to somewhere else in the house :)

what happens when you leave a medium article open all week

Oops :P

Morning :)

those tracking services :/

how are ya?

Morning

@CaldeiraG Currently on a "help pile" with @avazula :P

hehehe

was about to upgrade my laptop hdd to an ssd but realized i need that adapter i bought on ebay earlier on

@Tinkeringbell nice :D i'm good

@Tinkeringbell What's a "help pile"?

It means we were reviewing the help queues at the same time

Led to some duplicate mod comments :p

Ah ^^

hi

@lila o/

I heard the Extroverted Main Man was once dribbling a medicine ball and playing beach basketball with it.

Fuuuu.... I (almost) missed my performance review....

Still went better than expected though :D

@Tinkeringbell :D

I think I can survive 1/2 more years without being too much of a consultant, then I'll have to seriously consider switching jobs.

Fingers crossed this manager also leaves soon, perhaps then I can stay longer.

@Tinkeringbell great

coworker apparently got married? was informed just now XD

been out since thursday

his OOO message says until 3/11 :o

not my direct coworker but he gets me the data I need when it's not on a database

Oof, might take a while before you get that data then XD

yea

remember that 4k number from adblocker? yeah, it's up to 5k now

I think these spammers need to slow down with these intrusive ads :/

I still remember days that there were pop-up ads that had running-away "x" I mean you tried to close it but once you aimed your mouse at the "x" then it instantly moved somewhere else, you had to aim it again and it repeated a few times, it was so annoying and it should be a crime to do this.

And today 9291 new cases of c***d-19 where I live, we are getting hit hard by this.

@lila there's no point on not running an adblocker these days

unless you work in marketing i guess

the ads are so obnoxious :/

@ips cat please

@IPSCommentBot this one is... not great. Another cat please

Does it answer when you're not asking politely

@ips cat. now.

Dang

@avazula You should be careful. When the AI will take over the world, they might decide to treat you rudely as well

:p

@Ael I've been told about Rosko's basilisk, yes :p

:P

@IPSCommentBot And something about this one looks off, it looks almost like it was from a taxidermy exhibition.

Interesting thing: e-mail didn't invent the "@" symbol, e-mails use this just because it is a symbol that nobody used before.

@lila uh, funny

@lila +1876 new cases (+15 deaths)

although 1932 recovered

@CaldeiraG Oh but it wasn't meant to be a joke, it's an interesting fact I didn't know until today, the symbol existed but nobody was using it.

@CaldeiraG I'm tired and bored by this c***d-19 :/

Ah, our numbers are confusing. In previous weeks the absolute number of positive tests was increasing by around 40 percent, now the increase is only 27 percent. But when looking at all tests done and the percentages that are postive, we've gone from 13,8 percent to 14,4.

Since the total number of tests done has also increased, these numbers are confusing me.

@lila I didn't take it as a joke :p

@lila :/

@Tinkeringbell i'm confused too xD

@Tink

@Ael Yaaaass! It is looking great. Especially next to the other one XD

I've heard rumors chat.se was dead.

Those rumors are clearly false.

"Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated"

Of course :D

bots are up again :D

upgrade: 200mbps connection, SSD

@CaldeiraG :( :( :(

@CaldeiraG I hope the Pi is happy in it's new home! :D

@Tinkeringbell :D

actually, a little downtime ahead again

shouldn't take long

@Tinkeringbell Yeah, when I look at both of them, I can see how not clean my older one is x)

@Ael Heh, don't worry. It only shows a little! /s :P

>< I was planning on cleaning him, but he is in such bad shape, I'm afraid that it would hurt him :'(

Hand wash, gently with a bit of soap?

Yep, that's the plan

One last wash and then an honorary spot on top of a shelf :D

Well, the honorary spot will have to wait. Apparently, I can't stop kissing both of them. Just the idea of putting him on the shelf is heartbreaking me. Even the idea of letting him at home for a month when I take his newly found brother is almost too much for me bear

Awww. Yeah it's hard to let a favorite plush go :)

Even if the replacement is just as good.

But yes, putting him safely on a shelf is a good idea. I just need a little more time to get use to it I guess

:D You can still gently pat him when he's on the shelf from time to time :)

You need to anyways, to avoid him getting to dusty ;)

It would be more a "furiously hugging and kissing him", but yes :p

Hahaha :D He'll be fine, I see :)

Also, now that the new brother is here, I want to buy a third one "just to be safe" x)

(I won't do it though. Not yet anyway)

I think you'll need to hoard at least 3 more, just so you'll have enough until you're 100 ;)

And better buy them now then try to find another one in sixty years! :P

Please don't tempt me ><

It's just reasonable! :P (okay, I'll stop!)

Also, you are right because the more I wait, the more it will cost me to buy one ><

Hey, it can wait at least a year or so. These things don't grow that much in value I think :)

hm yea, my 1st attempt of cloning the sd card didn't work

so the bot will be down for a while now

No worries.

We'll just get out cats the old-fashioned way then.

ok, so, the migration is happening on thursday between 5-8pm so expect downtime ther

i'm booting up the bot in the meantime

@ips cat?
