00:00:00 AnMaster: you are attempting to argue with the facts of a fictional universe using an incorrect argument from RL 00:00:12 ais523, incorrect? how so? 00:00:22 I'm pointing out the origin of the name Bjorn 00:00:23 incorrect in that people often do give their children misspelt names 00:00:26 is Scandinavian 00:00:49 Bjorn ran into Barack Obama, ex-First Lady of the United States of America, and argued with it for five hours on the subject of whether sap is technically "tree semen" and what the implications of this would be if it were indeed true. They swapped sides every half hour to make it a fair fight, and Bjorn eventually KO'd Barack while they were getting accustomed to their new side of the argument. 00:00:50 and is more properly spelled with an ö and/or ø 00:00:53 your argument is along the lines of "Bjorn can't be named Bjorn because it isn't spelt like that" 00:00:54 which makes no sense 00:01:09 ais523, hm true 00:01:38 KO'd ? 00:02:02 you might as well argue that alise's nick is wrong because the name has a capital A 00:02:12 potassium oxided 00:02:24 actually, alise's nick would be a lot more effective with a capital A, I think 00:03:01 ais523: I like it like this. 00:03:15 well, OK 00:03:21 AnMaster: knocked out with blow, esp. in boxing 00:08:08 alise, ah 00:08:39 alise, oh and sap is more like tree blood 00:08:49 Well, that's what Bjorn argued, for half the time. 00:08:54 ah 00:09:03 But you always have to take turns, you know. 00:09:31 alise, yeah when people do that you know they are arguing for the sake of arguing, rather than arguing for what they believe in. Not that that is wrong 00:09:50 s/believe in/believe in or think is right/ 00:09:51 AnMaster: no they don't 00:09:55 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 00:09:57 ais523, ? 00:10:02 -!- augur has joined. 00:10:07 -!- Wamanuz5 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 00:10:14 AnMaster: you missed the metajoke 00:10:25 ais523, oh.... *doh* 00:10:39 lets switch sides :P 00:10:42 but bbl 00:11:36 Actually, I did a bit of arguing-the-opposite-side with coppro in our Great Copyright Debate. 00:11:51 I sort of argued for his side of the story to support a sub-conclusion I was making, and then backtracking it later without destroying the sub-conclusion. 00:12:00 Or at least it is my impression that I did that. 00:12:17 what was the name of that game in which the goal was to zero a flag? 00:12:32 nooga: Nim? 00:12:36 and two programs were writing the memory, and the language was AFAIR brainfucky 00:12:56 i'm trying to google it but with no luck 00:14:21 `ls 00:14:26 eh 00:14:27 fukyorbrane 00:14:29 and bf joust 00:14:32 babies \ bin \ cube2.base64 \ cube2.jpg \ hack_gregor \ hello.txt \ help.txt \ huh \ netcat-0.7.1 \ netcat-0.7.1.tar.gz \ out.txt \ paste \ poetry.txt \ quotes \ qw.pl \ share \ tmpdir.20750 \ wunderbar_emporium 00:14:40 Gregor and Goethe/ais523 respectively 00:14:55 sorry, *Kerim Adyin (marine biologist) 00:15:03 *Aydin 00:15:30 ah 00:15:39 ais523: goethe wrote this: http://www.fish.washington.edu/seminars/spring_08/aydin.html 00:15:45 Sorry, "G." :P 00:16:01 nooga: bfjoust is on egobot, if egobot were here 00:16:09 ah 00:16:20 oerjan: it's on egobot even if egobot isn't here, although what you said doesn't contradict that 00:16:29 except arguably the common use of if to mean iff in English. 00:16:40 alise: NO IT'S NOT.

And you think this makes her a competent nutritionist? The title "nutritionist" doesn't even do that. 00:37:04 i'm just extremely curious how does it feel to drink your meal 00:37:09 Who was it here that had completely nerded out about nutrition again? 00:37:21 alise: oh come on, it's just a test 00:37:30 nooga: Well, you won't be able to get Ensure Plus, probably. 00:37:36 Ensure should be easy. 00:37:37 pikhq: Ilari 00:37:42 Ahyes. 00:37:55 nooga: Vanilla Ensure Plus tastes like really overly-sweet but somehow not nice fake vanilla taste. Very horrible. And metallic. 00:37:59 -!- Wamanuz has joined. 00:38:04 They ALL taste vaguely metallic and have a strong metallic aftertaste and they are thick. 00:38:10 Not thick thick, still liquid, but thick liquid. 00:38:15 basically i can get everything, even if it's perscription only 00:38:26 The chocolate one tastes like kinda gross metalic chocolate. 00:38:29 almost everything* 00:38:31 nooga: So, an irresponsible pharmacist, then. 00:38:32 alise: And how would you know this? 00:38:39 pikhq: Unit. "Malnutrition". 00:38:42 Also, the metal is probably the iron. 00:38:50 It's the iron and the five billion other metallic things in there. 00:39:01 Ensure plus: 1400Cal to 100% RDA? Somebody figured out how to do that in <800Cal without involving special drinks... 00:39:01 :D 00:39:06 Yes, but those are in trace, not-tastable amounts for the most part. 00:39:23 There will be a *lot* of iron, though. 00:39:24 Fair enough. 00:39:31 Ilari: No; >1000 kJ. 00:39:49 One bottle of Ensure Plus is like 330 kcal. 00:39:57 alise: i can, but it does not mean that i would 00:40:12 It's got to be having more iron than red meats... *Which are red because of the freaking iron in them*. 00:40:29 :D 00:40:38 Ilari: But it is a "complete balanced nutritional supplement" so if they didn't get it horribly wrong and your body is relatively normal it should keep you alive. 00:40:42 Some foods are just plain superrior in nutrient density. 00:40:44 They give it to people with e.g. throat cancer apparently. 00:41:00 Wow ... 00:41:00 SEEEMS EXTREMELY COOL 00:41:00 http://ensure.com/ 00:41:06 They are marketing it as a consumer product. 00:41:13 That makes me sick. 00:41:36 What, you didn't realise that? 00:41:45 I knew you could basically just buy it. 00:41:57 I didn't know they were telling relatively-healthy or on-the-road-to-health people to drink it. 00:42:06 Anyways: Ensure Plus is also given for feeding via feeding tubes. 00:42:11 Since, y'know, it's liquid. 00:42:12 "Add one delicious Ensure Shake daily to a healthy diet and make a change for the better." 00:42:16 I want to kill myself now. 00:42:35 pikhq: They also make specific tube feeds; the anorexic girl was on Jevity for a while. 00:42:37 Yeah, that's been adveertised in the US for, oh... 20 years now, I guess. 00:42:49 So she lugged around this machine connected into her nose and liquid slowly dripped inside. 00:43:03 I found nutrion facts for Ensure Plus. Doesn't look too healthy... About 20g of sugar and 1g of SFA 5g of PUFA and that's per serving doesn't looke too good. 00:43:05 alise: Yeah, I'd imagine that. 00:43:23 Ilari: A day. 00:43:29 pikhq: no 00:43:31 more than one shake a day 00:43:36 Oh. 00:43:41 I was prescribed 2 and I still ate 00:43:43 That's... A hell of a lot of sugar. 00:43:47 *prescribed two 00:44:00 "Get Delicious Ensure Recipes". Oh joy, I wonder if this is the one where they suggest putting the no-flavour (i.e. metal flavour) one on cereal. 00:44:11 I guess because a spoonfull of sugar makes the medicine go down? 00:44:52 "Fast Hot Chocolate" "Cheddar Turkey Quiche" "Blueberry Breakfast Toast" 00:44:57 GUYS, ENSURE TASTES HORRIBLE.

If it's soy protein you're looking for, good sources include soy burgers, soymilk, and isolated soy protein powders. 00:52:10 " 00:52:14 pikhq: Any major 1080p releases yet? 00:52:20 :F 00:52:27 Heh... I searched Fineli for foods with most Folic acid per mass.

Soy sauce is not a good source of protein, but you want some good sources of protein from soy? Not stupid, fecking retarded, processed "soy protein" BS. 00:53:33 pikhq: So, how big are H.264 Blu-Ray rips? 00:53:39 Soy milk. Tofu. Miso. Soy *beans* (roast and salt them, mmm delicious). Processed soy protein is... Not worth-while. 00:53:43 Awesome GiB or ORGASMIC ON-SCREEN QUALITY GiB? 00:53:45 alise: 25-50 GB. 00:53:57 pikhq: Dammit why aren't disks cheaper. 00:54:04 I need a 10 TiB disk. 00:54:10 Well. 10 TB would work too. 00:54:32 Argh. Blu-ray tops out at 1080i for 60fps content. 00:55:04 It's 1080p for 24fps stuff. 00:55:19 As it so happens, almost all films are 24fps. 00:55:40 pikhq: 1080p 60fps. Yes sir, yes I do want it sir. 00:55:43 And a very large number of (American) TV shows. 00:55:48 And if one would take bioaviability into consideration, that wheat germ could be sent far back. 00:57:13 pikhq: So, how are the quality of Blu-Ray rips? You see, there is a rather nice 37" 1080p LG TV in this house and I would like to experience its gloriousness. 00:57:26 alise: So, this is somehow meant as a food replacement, while basically being a very crappy milkshake with a vitamin pill dumped in. 00:57:42 alise: Blu-Ray dumps are *dumps of the bitstream on the disc*, after being encoded. 00:57:50 Erm, decrypted. 00:57:52 Not encoded. 00:57:55 pikhq: Okay, rephrase. 00:58:24 pikhq: Can you get Blu-Ray rips in .mkv? What kinda specs do I need to decode them? How good are Blu-Ray films as far as picture quality goes? 00:58:35 pikhq: Well, I know it is "possible" to survive on Ensure Plus since patients who cannot eat do. 00:59:01 PHP yuck 00:59:32 worst language after C++ and Java that became popular 00:59:39 alise: Almost certainly, a fairly-decent modern system, and the picture quality varies greatly based on whether or not the encoder of the disc was an idiot. 00:59:53 nno, actually it's the first, before C++ and Java 00:59:54 alise: You can get really-stupidly encoded MPEG-2 or wonderfully encoded x264. 01:00:13 pikhq: Any things-to-avoid wrt MPEG-2? 01:00:21 So, anywhere from "What the hell this is shit" to "... THE BEAUTY!!!" 01:00:24 Wonderfully encoded H.264 sounds good. I doubt the encoders used x264. 01:00:28 If it's commercial in any way. 01:00:42 alise: Not really; if it's even so much as well-encoded MPEG-2 it should actually be quite nice. 01:00:59 Yeah, but ... H.264. 01:01:06 I want to experience full, 1080p GLORY. 01:01:33 I mean, the video stream is 40 Mbit/s. 01:01:57 wo 01:02:05 This is at the point where well-encoded MPEG-2 achieves transparency. 01:02:15 http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/cryptochrome/ <- kinda cool piece of research 01:02:53 pikhq: Whereas H.264 becomes invisible. 01:02:55 (for comparison, OTA HD in the US is 19 Mbit/s per physical channel, and that is often split into two or more virtual channels.) 01:04:31 pikhq: See, right now that TV is plugged into a Sky (the satellite TV service in Britain) box via /SCART/. 01:04:45 Why? Because you need Sky HD to get HDMI. This costs >£100 for the box and like £10 or more a month. 01:04:49 alise: THE RAPE! THE EYERAPE! 01:04:58 Conclusion: Fuck that shit. Bring on the downloads. 01:05:19 pikhq: Ehh, on actual SDTV, which is low-quality anyway, it's not noticeable. 01:05:22 Only in the menu interface. 01:06:52 Might I suggest Freeview? (surely they have HD on Freeview?) :P 01:07:41 (and thereby avoid subsidizing Murdock's murder of journalism) 01:07:51 Erm, Murdoch? 01:07:59 pikhq: Freeview ... lacks a lot of channels that are actually worth watching. 01:08:01 -!- BeholdMyGlory has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 01:08:03 Such as: Sky 1. 01:08:13 Worth watching as far as TV goes that is. 01:08:16 Which is not much at all. 01:08:19 alise: Rupert. Fucking. Murdoch. 01:08:30 pikhq: Yeah, I know. You do realise Sky own a chunk of Freeview? 01:08:41 pikhq: Besides, WE DON'T RECEIVE FREEVIEW HERE. 01:08:45 So we have no choice. 01:08:49 Yes, yes, but you don't pay for it. And waitwhat? 01:08:59 aren't all the Freeview channels received via Sky? 01:09:02 they have no reason not to, after all 01:09:08 ais523: Yes. 01:09:08 ais523: er, no, via the old ondigital network 01:09:15 oh, you mean the satellite? 01:09:17 probably, who knows 01:09:43 pikhq: Freeview HD has recently been released, but ... 01:09:59 I mean, there's not exactly Discovery on Freeview. Or Sky Movies. 01:10:07 If you're gonna get HD ... 01:10:15 ... but this is all moot, downloading ist he far superior option. 01:10:20 alise: So... The UK is worse at HD than the US. Good to know. 01:10:24 WE'RE SUPERIOR AT SOMETHING! 01:10:59 (it is, nowadays, nearly impossible to not receive HD in the US. You have to go to the Alaska/Russia border or something crazy like that.) 01:11:30 pikhq: You also switched over to digital TV in, like, the blink of an eyelid and handled the transition almost perfectly. 01:11:47 We're doing it over the course of 2007 to 2012, slowly, with a lot of complaints, setbacks, mishaps and public confusion. 01:12:01 alise: Not really. We'd been broadcasting in digital for about a decade prior. 01:12:14 Also, most people don't watch TV OTA. Making it easy. 01:12:16 :P 01:12:30 alise: so we can all expect a lot of hilarity when the uk finally decides to switch to right hand side driving? 01:12:34 Well, whatever. 01:12:49 oerjan: Yeah, they'll switch a county at a time. 01:12:56 :-D 01:13:03 And have transition points at the borders of counties. 01:13:05 * oerjan has heard some old jokes from when sweden did so 01:13:06 >:D 01:13:15 YOU ARE NOW ENTERING A RIGHT-SIDE ZONE. 01:13:18 PLEASE SWERVE. 01:13:44 oerjan: actually that'd never happen 01:13:49 along with switching to the euro 01:13:50 we'd have riots 01:14:15 Guy Fawkes would need to rise from the grave and finish off Parliament first. 01:14:29 And then fail at bringing back full-on monarchy. 01:14:36 Leaving the country in total chaos. 01:14:50 i have problems with crossing a street in the UK 01:14:56 not to mention driving a car 01:15:11 remember, remember, eternal september, or wasn't that how it went 01:15:46 Remember, remember, the fifth of November / Gunpowder, treason and plot. / I see no reason why gunpowder treason / Should ever be forgot. 01:15:47 Remember remember the Fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. 01:15:52 pikhq: No "the". 01:16:05 i heard that swedish switched from LHD to RHD in 50's 01:16:06 alise: Darnit. 01:16:09 * oerjan thinks someone didn't notice he was joking 01:16:16 nooga: yes 01:16:21 Remember, remember, eternal September / newbies smoking pot. / I see no reason why eternal unreason / should ever be forgot. 01:16:23 oerjan: I did. 01:16:40 but they;ve had riving wheels on the proper side all the time 01:16:44 alise: Anyways.
