10:19 <Eddi|zuHause> but it's already September 11048th

10:21 <Mat2ch> When does September end then? I need to wake someone up

10:48 <Eddi|zuHause> never. it's called the eternal september for a reason.

10:55 <Mat2ch> So Green Day is in cryo sleep for eternity?

11:06 <darsie> https://www.eternal-september.org/

11:08 <Mat2ch> oh, wow, Usenet still lives

11:08 <darsie> kinda

11:09 <darsie> I'm in a low volume law group for Austria.

11:46 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think i ever really understood usenet

11:49 <darsie> It's a fuckton of message boards.

11:51 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, but how this whole interconnected server thing mirroring each other works...

11:58 <Mat2ch> It's just text files, so rsync

12:29 <packbart> Eddi|zuHause: news servers send everything they receive to their peers (filtered by what they want) but only accept each Message-ID once

20:23 <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

20:23 <LunchBot> Through months of R&D (along with many bravely singed volunteers), you have invented the plug-in-socket portable power attachment device. Your rocket falls apart.

20:24 <Mat2ch> Weird priorities.

20:31 <Eddi|zuHause> it probably unplugged mid flight

20:32 <XXCoder> singed

20:45 <Eddi|zuHause> !mission add You test the 'singe' button on the microwave.

20:45 <LunchBot> Added mission: You test the 'singe' button on the microwave.

20:46 <Mat2ch> lol

21:11 <Eddi|zuHause> i've actually never owned a microwave

21:12 <Mat2ch> No space to put it :(

21:12 <Althego> me neither. just a microwave oven

21:12 <darsie> We have a microwave in a 300 m2 shared flat.

21:12 <Mat2ch> hey, don't start nitpicking!

21:13 <darsie> Doesn't have a singe button, though.

21:13 <Mat2ch> I probably have some microwaves in here, too, all the time. But no microwave oven ;)

21:13 <darsie> Ohh, and I have some microwaves for gutting.

21:13 <Althego> so what is this singe button?

21:13 <darsie> Let's ask ChatGPT.

21:14 <Mat2ch> just press it

21:14 <Althego> because of black body radiation there must be some microwaves everywhere

21:14 <Mat2ch> it will not singe you. Promise!

21:14 <darsie> The single button on a microwave oven is typically the start button. This button is used to initiate the cooking process after you have set the desired time and power level for heating or cooking your food. Once you input the settings, pressing the start button activates the microwave, causing it to begin the heating process for the specified duration and power level. Some microwave ovens may also have additional buttons for speci

21:14 <darsie> fic functions, such as defrosting, popcorn, or beverage heating.

21:15 <darsie> umm, it thought I mean single ...

21:15 <Althego> the previous one didnt even have a button

21:16 <darsie> My apologies for the misunderstanding. If you meant the "singe" button on a microwave oven, that doesn't correspond to a standard feature on most microwaves. "Singe" typically refers to burning or scorching something, and microwave ovens are designed to heat food without causing it to burn. It's possible that you may have encountered a specific microwave model or brand with a unique feature or label, but without more context, it's

21:16 <darsie> challenging to provide a specific answer regarding a "singe" button. If you have a particular microwave model in mind, I recommend checking the user manual or contacting the manufacturer for precise information on its features.

21:16 <darsie> Maybe it activates the IR emitter.

21:17 <sandbox> we used to have 3 microwaves

21:17 <darsie> I used to have a fat cable.

21:17 <darsie> Can't find it.

21:17 <Mat2ch> darsie: I like the computer of the Enterprise more. "There is no entry about a singe button on a microwave in my database"

21:48 <sandbox> !mission

21:48 <LunchBot> You attempt to land on VallCactus. Sorry, kids. Daddy was pontificating.

21:55 <darsie> Do VallCactii have colliders?

23:46 <Neal> is a rocket a jet? it's my understanding the classical definition of a "jet" includes rockets, since the only factor is they have to eject material out the back to propel themselves

23:47 <Neal> for example: JATO includes the use of rocket pods

23:48 <Pinkbeast> A propellor engine (or basically anything else to make a flying object go) ejects material out the back

23:50 <Neal> something about that definition invalidated props

23:50 <Neal> other than turboprops

23:50 <Neal> although a lot of turboprops just dump exhaust sideways

23:51 <Neal> jet1

23:51 <Neal> noun

23:51 <Neal> 1.

23:51 <Neal> a rapid stream of liquid or gas forced out of a small opening.

23:52 <Pinkbeast> The real answer is just that words have different meanings in different contexts and in most contexts a rocket is not a jet

23:53 <Neal> one might call the exhaust a jet

23:53 <Neal> if you want to confuse people

23:53 <Neal> "a jet of rocket exhaust"
