=== dzho_ is now known as dzho [11:55] morning [12:02] morning [12:02] or, as some of us like to say elsewhere: morning-- [12:55] morning [13:10] good morning [13:30] 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. [13:33] :) [14:03] <_stink__> jrwren++ [14:06] no there's not, it's just code [14:07] admittedly neat code though [14:08] Scary_Guy: you are wrong. [14:09] maybe... wait no [14:10] on a lot of things yes. pretty sure I'm spot on with this one however [14:13] 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. [14:15] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/magic :p [14:15] !d magical [14:15] http://www.thefreedictionary.com/magical [14:16] you use your dictionary, i'll use mine. we can both be wrong and neither of us right. [14:16] thefreedictionary.com ... get what you pay for I guess [14:16] Dammit let someone have their magic please. :) [14:17] We have enough non-magic in the world as it is [14:17] its a trigger word for Scary_Guy because Jobs used it to describe apple projects, I'll bet. [14:17] no, we need more James Randi up in here [14:17] I got to teleconference with him once. Very great guy. [14:18] James Randi made his living doing magical illusions. There's nothing wrong with finding wonder in perfectly-explainable phenomenon [14:18] I love how people say Jobs was so smart, and then he went ahead and died from a curable cancer [14:18] Randi doesn't call himself a magician though, but rather a conjurer [14:18] Jobs was a great business-person and showman. He was an idiot in other regards [14:19] Penn & Teller on the other hand... but it's not like everyone agrees on everything [14:19] Jobs, I never knew or met the man. [14:20] I thought you just said you teleconferenced with him? was it just a telecast then? Still neat I suppose [14:20] with James Randi [14:20] oh [14:21] Well that's even cooler though [14:22] He said bad things about charlatans and I realized if I were smarter I'd be a successful charlatan. [14:22] jrwren: Ayep [14:22] We've often talked about how to bilk people [14:22] and how those pesky morals get in the way [14:22] If I had less integrity I'd be a successful charlatan [14:23] Did you see the documentary "An Honest Liar"? Fascinating tale of him [14:24] yes, great work. I've been a fan for years but the end threw me like woah [14:24] yeah [14:24] I like to send the gnostic atheists his video on how you can't prove a negative [14:25] and anyone who is into homeopothy any of his videos tearing it apart [14:26] also, if "magicians" had any less integrity, they'd all just be pickpockets [14:29] 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 [14:31] 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] oh, it's mentioned in it [14:34] does anyone here use XMPP with OMEMO support? [15:08] 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. [17:40] want [23:16] brousch: you here yet?
