[01:35] <gamerchick02> howdy rick_h
[01:35] <rick_h> what's up party folks?
[01:41] <greg-g> how are the fireworks over there?
[01:43] <rick_h> some going off in the distance
[01:43] <rick_h> I think because of the Tues 4th most of the big shows were over the weekend

[01:54] <greg-g> we shot off our (lame, CA-approved) ones last night, since the neighbor boys are at their dad's today
[01:54] <greg-g> going to the city show tonight down at the fair grounds
[02:21] <jrwren> cmaloney: you a kraftwerk fan?  3-d the catalog is a must have if you are. its amazing. they redid all their own stuff and its better than ever.
[02:45] <gamerchick02> some of my neighbors in houses are shooting them off. i'm waiting for it to die down before i try to sleep
[02:45] <gamerchick02> sounds like most of it's stopped... gonna try to sleep in a few
[03:29] <cmaloney> jrwren: wha?
[10:47] <brousch> Apparently Mike Pence flew into Grand Rapids to march in the Grandville parade, then flew back to Washington. Good use of taxpayer dollars there
[12:56] <jrwren> cmaloney: Do you like Kraftwerk?
[13:09] <cmaloney> Yeeess
[13:13] <jrwren> cmaloney: "3-D The Catalog" is a must have release, IMO.  :)
[13:13] <cmaloney> Ok, what is it?
[13:14] <jrwren> cmaloney: Kraftwerk, 2017 live, but it doesn't sound live at all. it sounds like a studio album.  8CD box set
[13:14] <jrwren> its all their old material redone, like they are covering htemselves in a more modern style. and it is awesome.
[13:14] <jrwren> Its kind of a big, "no no no, let us show you how it is done" to evreyone who has ever covered kraftwerk.
[13:17] <cmaloney> Ah, awesome
[23:33] <cmaloney> jrwren: I have like 4 calculators on my phone, not including the Scheme interpreter. :)
[23:34] <cmaloney> (Built-in, Free42, Go49 (hp49 / 50 emulator), and Maxima)
[23:34] <gamerchick02> how many calculators does one need? i have two, one that came with my phone and a graphing calculator as a just in case thing. who knows when you'll need to graph a function?
[23:35] <cmaloney> gamerchick02: I usually use Free42 because I like the interface
[23:35] <gamerchick02> nice!
[23:35] <cmaloney> but Go49 is nice
[23:35] <cmaloney> and Maxima is a Computer Algebra System
[23:35] <gamerchick02> that's cool
[23:35] <cmaloney> http://maxima.sourceforge.net/
[23:36] <gamerchick02> speaking of phones: who here has a One Plus One?
[23:36] <cmaloney> not I
[23:36] <cmaloney> bbiab.
[23:36] <gamerchick02> i'm thinking of getting one of those at the end of this year or middle of next
[23:36] <gamerchick02> ok!
[23:56] <Zimdale> Do you have need for a calculator that frequently?
