[01:53] <ducasse> \o all - christmas greetings to all of you! :)
[01:55] <Bashing-om> ducasse: TY, and same to you , May all be well with you .
[01:56] <ducasse> i'm sure we'll be fine, i plan to overeat on turkey and get a buzz from the tryptamine :)
[01:57] <Bashing-om> Christmas ham for us ! .. Yummy .
[02:01] <ducasse> Bashing-om: is that a regional thing, or pretty widespread in the us?
[02:07] <Bashing-om> ducasse: well. not real sure .. seems though that turkey in the US is a Thanksgiving thing, and ham for Xmas .
[02:10] <ducasse> Bashing-om: there are literally tons of regional traditions for christmas dinner here in norway, i'd guess ribs or something called 'pinnekjøtt' are the most common. i stick with the turkey, though - yum :)
[02:10] <ducasse> finished shopping etc?
[02:16] <Bashing-om> ducasse: yeah .. Finished up the shopping and buying last week . May take us another year to pay off the credit cards . Now is that not the American way ?
[02:18] <ducasse> hehe, heard on the news today that norwegians had bought xmas presents for ~60bn NOK so far in december...
[02:28] <Bashing-om> ducasse: The biggest shopping season ! What a web we weave for ourselves .
[02:29] <ducasse> insanity :(
[02:29] <ducasse> i got an amazing deal today!
[02:30] <Bashing-om> A 30" LCD monitor for a 100 bucks ?
[02:30] <ducasse> a really high-quality, nice big desk, ~£15. finally my dream of three monitors might come true!
[02:30] <ducasse> picking it up  on tuesday.
[02:31] <Bashing-om> nice :))
[02:32] <ducasse> so next time i get payed i'm ordering a third screen - i can't wait :) will also get a trackpad or similar, my wrist pain is killing me.
[02:33] <ducasse> *paid?
[02:35] <Bashing-om> paid, is correct . I wish . This living on the fixed income - retirement - is not all it was cracked up to be .
[02:36] <Bashing-om> where cracked up is " cracking eggs to make an omelet " kind of thing .
[02:39] <ducasse> well, i have a couple of disabilities  preventing me from working, so i feel your pine. not that i'm complaining, i live a good life and praise my lucky stars i  was born in norway.
[02:40] <ducasse> *your pain
[02:44] <ducasse> Bashing-om: do you know much about either nvidia gpus or monitors - especially the former?
[02:50] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Well a bit of knowledge of Nvidia GPUs, why ?
[02:51] <ducasse> my nephew is often here and wants to game, was thinking of getting a gpu that can handle basic gaming, but no idea where to start.
[03:07] <ducasse> gtg, brb
[03:28] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Well , I am very impressed with the GT710, has 2 Gigs of of on-board memory to take the load off the CPU, Reasonably priced at $38.00 USD for the EVGA product . No cooling fan but I can not believe how much cooler my box runs with this card .
[03:36] <ducasse> Bashing-om: i'll check that out, thanks :)
[03:39] <Bashing-om> ducasse: I did some homework before choosing this card . For the money I do not think you can beat it . I bet it does well in the less graphic;s intensive games . When it comes to gaming and graphic's cards, the sky is the limit cost wise !
[03:46] <ducasse> Bashing-om: this is just so hew can play some basic games, top performance not neccesary...
[03:46] <ducasse> *he
[03:47] <ducasse> got to hit bed, much too late for me!
[03:53] <Bashing-om> ducasse: N N . As I say this card impresses me. even running with the vesa driver it beats that old ATI card all hollow .
[05:41] <Bashing-om> And I too am out of here.
[08:02] <ducasse> good morning all, merry christmas to everyone!
[13:08] <boshhead> merry christmas eve ducasse! :)

[22:38] <EriC^^> but she was going nuts on stuff like i'm to the left and there's a car to the right and i can't yet switch lanes and she'd flip out
[22:40] <EriC^^> she's pretty bossy
[22:41] <EriC^^> like i was lowering the window and she was bitching that it's freezing (it was like a perfect sunny afternoon)
[22:42] <EriC^^> she did something i sort of didn't like at all and made me wonder
[22:43] <daftykins> could be a sign she's worth friend-zoning!
[22:43] <EriC^^> she's fun most of the time, everything was going great til the last date we had
[22:44] <EriC^^> i was like O.o
[22:44] <EriC^^> plus she didn't like i wasn't into religious stuff
[22:44] <EriC^^> i dont know if that ticked her off or something
