[02:25] good morning guys [02:27] hi lotuspsychje :) [02:27] hey pauljw [02:28] you guys survived the winter yes? [02:28] eh, we're not having one this year. but we're surviving. [02:29] what Winter ? [02:29] Location: Heber Springs, AR ~ Temp: 52°F (11°C) ~ Cond: Overcast ~ Humid: 50% ~ Wind: 0 mph (0 km/h) ~ Time: 20:15 [02:30] wow [02:30] 13 degrees also here [02:30] north and east seem to be having some winter, but we in mid-west are just a bit too mild for my taste. it was about 55F here today in S. Indiana. [02:30] something weird going on with seasons worldwide [02:31] just cycles man... [02:37] !info linux-image-generic xenial [02:37] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.0.59.62 (xenial), package size 2 kB, installed size 12 kB [02:37] We still got 60+ days before we can let the breath out .. Winter can bite real quick . [02:40] i read somewhere that the tectonic plate shift that caused the tsunami that took out the reactors in japan caused the earth to shift several degs on it's axis. if that's true, i would think that would have a huge effect on the jetstream paths across the earths surface. [02:41] doesnt make sense i didnt see snow like for years now [02:41] it has been proved already that temperatures are climbing up and ice is melting [02:42] Yeah, I would think .. this ole planet takes a beating, and keeps on spinning . Bit there are conseqiences , [02:42] some countrys cant stay/live because of the heat/dry [02:45] The big brain guys have been warning us this was going to happen . The fix is not so easy to implement :( [02:46] Bashing-om: dont think so neither [02:48] even birds are smart enough not to foul their nest ! What are our grand kids going to deal with ? [02:49] Bashing-om: we have seen nothing yet mate [02:50] I am glad I chose to live where I am . Long range forcast a few years back was that this area would become arid .. fat chance now ! [02:52] are you saying the big brain guys were wrong? [02:53] au contraire [02:53] alot of stuff came out, the forespelled it [02:54] That arid condition was in the very early stages of their calculations . Warm Winters and wet I can handle much better . Give the trees a drink of water ! [02:55] lol [02:58] Back in the 90's we had a 7 year drought .. lot of trees did not make it through ( me I had to change vocation ) . Then the weather patterns did change . [03:05] i remember back when they were scaring us with the coming ice age, that didn't pan out, so then it was global warming, that didn't pan out, so now it's climate change. that works because, guess what, the climate has been changing since the planet was created. it's been much warmer and much colder and will be again. cycles... [03:08] pauljw: ok i follow you mate, but everyone will agree how humans live now, it will influence our future and destroy things [03:08] there's nature cycles and human influences [03:10] Mercuty poisoning from the garbage we dump in our oceans ! [03:11] plastic soup yeah [03:34] well guys, time to sleep, let me know how you fix all the worlds problems. [03:34] lol [03:34] :) [03:34] nite nite mate [03:34] nite nite . [05:13] I'm out of here too .\ [06:07] yar yar [06:07] and a bottle of rum [07:41] morning all [07:42] morning ducasse o/ [07:42] what's up, EriC^^ ? [07:43] not much, just waking up [07:43] you? [07:43] me too. really tired, hardly slept :-/ === JanC is now known as Guest98802 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [07:44] it's so cold these days [07:45] here it's actually above zero now, so the snow is melting. [07:45] nice [07:48] no intention of going out today, neither has the cat it seems :) raining, gray and generally unpleasant. [07:48] but at least it's not below freezing :) [07:48] damn [07:49] yeah at least that [07:50] the weather is pretty good today here [07:51] it's sunny, it's been raining for the most part recently, it's been a cold year and full of rain [07:52] it hasn't really been as cold as it usually gets here, except for a few days. lots of rain, though. [07:53] i have a huge urge to do magic tricks for some one [07:54] over the past 2 years or so i learned some card tricks cause i was curious, then i did them for my grandma, and i kept learning more of them, and she kind of developed a forgetfulness [07:55] just walk out on the street and do them for strangers :) [07:56] and i kept learning more and more tricks and i keep doing them to her, she's not that surprised anymore though [07:56] i dont think know how well people would accept that kind of stuff here, nobody really does that here [07:57] i've never been approached by someone and said can i show you a trick? i think they'd be like wtf O.o [07:57] probably :) [07:58] i could do them for friends i guess, i've kind of kept it for myself and my grandma haha [07:59] it's kind of a coping i think [07:59] like yeah she forgets a lot but i can do the same trick 40 times and she still goes wow O.O [07:59] i've gotten pretty incredible at the sleight of hand too xD [08:01] i guess i'll just leave it at that, i do wonder how others would react though [08:01] my grandmother got a stroke, which made her a bit 'weird'. then she got another one, and that left her in a coma. appreciate them while you have them. [08:01] yeah [08:02] sorry about your grandma [08:03] ok, the cat is now trying to get _under_ the laptop... [08:03] lol [08:05] discovered why - there was a bag of cat treats hidden underneath :) [08:06] ah :) [08:09] hehe, one of my neighbors insisted he had seen a lynx behind the house the other day. "yeeees, probably not..." :) [08:10] :D [08:10] "i suspect others might have noticed that." [08:11] lol [08:12] it would be cool to see one, though. beautiful animals. [08:12] yeah [08:16] have you watched those 'mindfreak' shows, if you're into magic? [08:18] not much [08:19] that guy uses a lot of camera tricks and stuff like that [08:19] i started with a trick that were a little kind of 'mathematical' i guess in nature, which were kind of cool [08:19] aha, i suspected as much. he also has a really abrasive personality, i can't stand him. [08:20] i appreciated that, then later i learned stuff that required sleight of hand and techniques and stuff like that [08:20] it's really very much like how we solve linux problems, there's techniques and ways you can do something [08:21] like you want to control a card to the top, you can use various methods to do that, and you want then do make it appear as if something, you can do that and this do achieve that effect, etc [08:21] you can come up with your own tricks and when you know the techniques you can tell what another magician is doing [08:23] the first trick i learned was i think a trick, you can try yourself it's a mathematical trick, you choose 3 cards, then make a pile of cards, 10 15 15 9 next to eachother, then place a card over pile 10, cut from 15 over 10, place on the 2nd pile, cut from 15 onto that, and same for 3rd pile [08:23] then you put the 9 cards over the 3rd column over 2nd over 1st, you count 4 cards from the top of the deck to the bottom and it's done [08:24] now you open one card face up and the other face down, and the spectator is supposed to say stop when he sees one of his cards, first round nothing shows up, you take the cards that were dealt face down and do the same, one face up one face down [08:25] in the end there will be only 3 cards left after several rounds, and they'll be his 3 cards [08:30] sorry, but i've slept way too little to follow that :) [08:31] lol no problem [08:32] do a lot of card tricks involve math? [08:32] or just sleight of hand? [08:32] not really [08:32] yeah most involve sleight of hand [08:51] Good morning. [08:52] \o [08:52] Hey ducasse, how are you? [08:53] sleep-deprived :) i have a cunning plan of fixing that by sleeping an hour or two on the couch, though. :) you? [08:55] Done with sleep, having coffee ;) [08:58] i tried tea, but it didn't do the job :) [09:08] Tea has less caffeine ;) [09:10] i know, but i hate coffee ;) [09:11] Too bad :P [11:36] Ben64: lol: http://www.benefitsofkayaking.com/fishing-kayak-how-to-speed-up-your-new-ebike-ve.html?ytid=ElTS-BVY3Vs&lvl=5&qs=Fishing+Kayak [11:38] Ben64: now im used to drive my bike, 25km/h gets a lil slow :p [14:16] Hi all [14:16] \o [15:56] hey daftykins [16:55] hey pauljw :) [16:55] hey EriC^^ , how's it going? :) [16:56] fine thanks, you?
