| widox | morning | 12:55 |
| jrwren | good morning | 13:10 |
| jrwren | i know it is silly, but there is something magical about the first time running imgcat in a terminal window and seeing an image appear. | 13:30 |
| cmaloney | :) | 13:33 |
| _stink__ | jrwren++ | 14:03 |
| Scary_Guy | no there's not, it's just code | 14:06 |
| Scary_Guy | admittedly neat code though | 14:07 |
| jrwren | Scary_Guy: you are wrong. | 14:08 |
| Scary_Guy | maybe... wait no | 14:09 |
| Scary_Guy | on a lot of things yes. pretty sure I'm spot on with this one however | 14:10 |
| jrwren | a definition of magical is enchanting, meaning: pleasant; delightful. These are subjective feelings of experience and do describe experience using imgcat by me and others. | 14:13 |
| Scary_Guy | https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/magic :p | 14:15 |
| jrwren | !d magical | 14:15 |
| jrwren | http://www.thefreedictionary.com/magical | 14:15 |
| jrwren | you use your dictionary, i'll use mine. we can both be wrong and neither of us right. | 14:16 |
| Scary_Guy | thefreedictionary.com ... get what you pay for I guess | 14:16 |
| cmaloney | Dammit let someone have their magic please. :) | 14:16 |
| cmaloney | We have enough non-magic in the world as it is | 14:17 |
| jrwren | its a trigger word for Scary_Guy because Jobs used it to describe apple projects, I'll bet. | 14:17 |
| Scary_Guy | no, we need more James Randi up in here | 14:17 |
| jrwren | I got to teleconference with him once. Very great guy. | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | James Randi made his living doing magical illusions. There's nothing wrong with finding wonder in perfectly-explainable phenomenon | 14:18 |
| Scary_Guy | I love how people say Jobs was so smart, and then he went ahead and died from a curable cancer | 14:18 |
| Scary_Guy | Randi doesn't call himself a magician though, but rather a conjurer | 14:18 |
| cmaloney | Jobs was a great business-person and showman. He was an idiot in other regards | 14:18 |
| Scary_Guy | Penn & Teller on the other hand... but it's not like everyone agrees on everything | 14:19 |
| jrwren | Jobs, I never knew or met the man. | 14:19 |
| Scary_Guy | I thought you just said you teleconferenced with him? was it just a telecast then? Still neat I suppose | 14:20 |
| jrwren | with James Randi | 14:20 |
| Scary_Guy | oh | 14:20 |
| Scary_Guy | Well that's even cooler though | 14:21 |
| jrwren | He said bad things about charlatans and I realized if I were smarter I'd be a successful charlatan. | 14:22 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Ayep | 14:22 |
| cmaloney | We've often talked about how to bilk people | 14:22 |
| cmaloney | and how those pesky morals get in the way | 14:22 |
| Scary_Guy | If I had less integrity I'd be a successful charlatan | 14:22 |
| cmaloney | Did you see the documentary "An Honest Liar"? Fascinating tale of him | 14:23 |
| Scary_Guy | yes, great work. I've been a fan for years but the end threw me like woah | 14:24 |
| cmaloney | yeah | 14:24 |
| Scary_Guy | I like to send the gnostic atheists his video on how you can't prove a negative | 14:24 |
| Scary_Guy | and anyone who is into homeopothy any of his videos tearing it apart | 14:25 |
| Scary_Guy | also, if "magicians" had any less integrity, they'd all just be pickpockets | 14:26 |
| jrwren | how did I miss this? https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-cost-per-gigabyte/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Newsletter-B2&utm_content=hdcostpergb-b&utm_campaign=Newsletter-20170728 | 14:29 |
| Scary_Guy | I remember that spike in 2011. I got two 2GB Seagate drives from Micro Center for $89 each, then everything shot up to crazy numbers because of some Tsunami in Thailand or something that took out a factory | 14:31 |
| Scary_Guy | oh, it's mentioned in it | 14:31 |
| Scary_Guy | does anyone here use XMPP with OMEMO support? | 14:34 |
| jrwren | https://www.theverge.com/transportation/2017/7/27/16052118/bollinger-b1-electric-sport-truck-outdoors the word "tow" is not in the article, thus it is a complete failure. | 15:08 |
| dzho | want | 17:40 |
| rick_h | brousch: you here yet? | 23:16 |
