| davef | It's official. New Years is canceled in Quebec. We now have a government mandated curfew from 10pm to 5am for the next three weeks. I however will not be told when to go home. I'm a 40yr old male and doesn't need anyone telling me when it's time to go to bed. | 14:20 |
|---|---|---|
| diddledani | you'll be in bed already? | 14:20 |
| davef | No. I've decided to put up a deck chair out on the sidewalk, drink in hand and see the new year in. I'm not going to let the government decide when I have to be home. | 15:04 |
| jlj | I'll be in bed, says the almost 50-year-old man. :-P | 16:54 |

| jlj | zxmpi: an inspiration; that life lived. Shame she didn't make that birthday, though. | 20:45 |
| davef | that's pretty much a final f-you from 2021 | 21:04 |
| daftykins | pretty unknown to me, that one | 21:05 |
| jlj | Oh, man, Golden Girls was a staple in our household; made meals with frosty parents tolerable. | 21:08 |
| daftykins | :) | 21:10 |
| zxmpi | yeah if you haven't watched the joy that is golden girls do yourself a favour and give it a bash. absolutely brilliant | 21:41 |
| daftykins | it hasn't suffered with time then? | 21:43 |
| zxmpi | not that i can see | 21:46 |
| daftykins | probably a generational thing though | 21:51 |

| penguin42 | daftykins: So hmm; Handbrake does a good job of ripping a dvd - but doesn't support the menus | 23:51 |
| daftykins | i think you ruled me out of that subject :D | 23:51 |
| daftykins | my personal preference is to dump all the cruft, no menus... trailers, logos etc | 23:52 |
| penguin42 | oh well, Handbrake did that nicely | 23:52 |
| * penguin42 watched 12 monkeys | 23:52 | |
| daftykins | it's mostly geared toward transcode so not of interest to me, with also applies to standard definition | 23:53 |
| diddledani | davef: they're onto you https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/cI8JZq4P/image.png | 23:54 |
| daftykins | heh they'll be crawling the neighbourhoods to find him sat out front | 23:54 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I was also looking at vlc's ripping stuff which in theory can do menus, but I've not persuaded it to yet | 23:55 |
| davef | Abuse of our emergency alert system.. https://twitter.com/DavieDavieDave/status/1477065693992525830 | 23:56 |
| penguin42 | I admit to not understanding the purpose of curfews for this | 23:58 |
| davef | This is the second curfew. There's no evidence it worked the first time. | 23:59 |
| penguin42 | it should be illegal however to set off fireworks in the 10 minutes before the new year | 23:59 |
