[01:23] we're all volunteers [01:23] it's not like anything important is riding on the dates of voting [02:12] @valorie, Just like the US election right? ;) [02:12] lol [02:13] I think that is slightly more important [02:13] how are you @tsimonq2? [02:13] Good actually! I finally have my own place [02:13] woah [02:14] that's big [02:14] you still have a year of HS, right? [02:14] Numbers are scary but they add up to more than zero so I'm fine :) [02:14] Nope, I have a diploma too [02:14] gosh, how did I miss that [02:14] so, uni? [02:14] Yes [02:14] or saving up for it for awhile? [02:14] oh good [02:15] where? [02:15] University of Wisconsin GB [02:15] Keeping it local [02:15] coolness [02:16] Yep! [02:17] be sure to send some photos occasionally [02:17] and now maybe you can make it to SeaGL [02:17] lol [02:17] all-virt [02:17] (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/Yc2wFV9t/file_35111.jpg [02:17] (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/Ov85seys/file_35112.jpg [02:17] (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/e7d0Sblg/file_35113.jpg [02:17] (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/8NqBC00M/file_35114.jpg [02:17] I think you can even still send along a talk proposal actually [02:18] Meh. I tend to shy away from all virtual conferences [02:18] Takes away a lot of the fun :( [02:18] not coming to Akademy? [02:18] it does [02:18] but there is a lot gained too [02:18] If I'm going to make it I want to do it in person [02:19] my gensoc is doing so many virt meetings now, and I love them [02:19] most will never go back to in-person [02:19] the monthly gen. meeting will of course [02:19] but the small groups are better virt [02:19] Virtual meetings are cool but in person meetings and in person contact is really where it's at imo [02:20] Of course not during a pandemic [02:20] So, I'll wait it out [02:20] amen to the human contact [02:20] your new place is fanciness [02:21] would cost thousands in Seattle [02:22] but the smaller meetings are like 45 mins-1 hour driving [02:22] we can do more this way [02:22] and we get better attendance [02:22] people from all over the country sometimes [02:23] the flavors meetig in BBB was very good [02:23] imo [02:24] Makes semse [02:24] Akademy will be in BBB [02:24] it will be fine [02:24] I had already decided not to fly to Europe this year [02:24] so I'm very ok with it [02:25] I just really really really hope that once all of this blows over, we can go back to some sense of normalcy [02:25] of course [02:25] I miss seeing my family and friends so much [02:25] and miss restaurants [02:25] So phrases like "never going back to in person" scare me :( [02:26] Here we can go to restaurants again [02:26] although Bob cooked a fantastic dinner [02:26] We just have to wear masks if we get up from the table [02:26] right [02:26] Oh yeah? What'd he make? [02:26] steak, corn, zucchini [02:26] Oooooo [02:26] Sounds good [02:26] BBQ'd the steak [02:26] oh gosh it was so yummy [02:26] tenderloin [02:26] <3 [02:27] Tell him I say hi for me, although I'm unsure if he remembers me :) [02:27] <-- still full [02:27] as if he could forget [02:27] lol [02:27] he's already sacked out on the couch next to me [02:27] "Horse mask dude says hi" [02:27] XD [02:27] he kept saying, I'm not tired [02:27] I still have that btw [02:27] lol [02:27] dear god [02:28] Hahahahaha [02:28] I'm listening to organ music at reasonably high volume [02:28] and he's just sleepin through it [02:29] No offense but that would put me to sleep too :) [02:29] he had a 3 day work party the past 3 days, so he's been out doing trail work [02:29] lol [02:29] well, I was doing some work for my society [02:29] I should go finish it [02:29] Shiny squirrel heh [02:30] {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} and congratulations [02:30] Good to hear you're around :) [02:30] Thanks!
