The diapsids precipitate out of solution.
<whitequark>
we carried the cat to a vet and on the way back i got doused with large amounts of cat urine
<egg>
ow
<whitequark>
and then she decided that today she REALLY wants to fuck some sort of male cat. and loudly demanded to be let out
<egg>
cute cat though
<whitequark>
well it was okay for half a hour and then a hour but not a hour and a half
<whitequark>
then we looked up how cat contraceptives work and took printer's contraceptives and approximately adjusted them to a reasonable dose
<egg>
O_o
<egg>
whitequark: I get that the dissection was something about anatomy courses, but I assume the cat is a personal touch (and if I see a cat next to a dead rat I assume the cat has something to do with it)
<whitequark>
they're basically the same thing. ethinylestradiol and a different progestin than what's usually used in humans
<whitequark>
but that one is also used in humans, just in different countries and/or cases so w/e
<whitequark>
when we gave the cat the REALLY SMALL part of the pill (it should be approximately 1/20th of a human one) you know what she did? she went on the table, took my goddamn cup of water and drank from it
<whitequark>
instead of like, spitting it out or w/e
<whitequark>
good cat
<egg>
O_o
<whitequark>
jesus i hope this works
<whitequark>
my psyche is just really not built to live in the same apt as a very horny cat okay
<egg>
DeterministicRaptor: catpic ^
* DeterministicRaptor
blinks.
<whitequark>
egg: fwiw the cat is completely random on that pic
<egg>
DeterministicRaptor: whitequark's cat is cute isn't it
<DeterministicRaptor>
yes.

!wa 13765125454430751858 in hex
<Qboid>
egg: convert 13765125454430751858 to base16: bf078cab88084c…_16 (16 digits)
<DeterministicRaptor>
Thank you for truncating an integer, Qboid
<egg>
!wpn DeterministicRaptor
* Qboid
gives DeterministicRaptor a supersaturated hypothesis
* DeterministicRaptor
stirs the hypothesis.
<egg>
!wpn DeterministicRaptor
* Qboid
gives DeterministicRaptor a keyboard
<Ellied>
!wpn egg
* Qboid
gives egg an affine shard
<Ellied>
I like how "<@Ellied> !wpn " and " * Qboid gives " are the same length, so the nick lines up in my client
DeterministicRaptor is now known as UmbralRaptor
<Ellied>
UmbralRaptor has random outcomes once again?
<Ellied>
our department has this handheld x-ray fluorometer that we get out from time to time. I'm not sure where we got it as it looks a little more expensive than our usual budget, but there it is.
<Ellied>
dunno what's supposed to fit into that dock on top. Some kind of PDA maybe? the connector's not familiar to me
<Ellied>
the cable plugged into the front is an RS-232 interface, using a plug that looks like a NIM-CAMAC connector modified to have seven pins instead of one.
<UmbralRaptor>
Ellied: It took a few hours to refill my entropy pool after the statistics test.
<Qboid>
What code point do you want me to look up?
<egg>
!u ?
<Qboid>
U+1D64E MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD ITALIC CAPITAL S (?)
<egg>
!u Ɛ
<Qboid>
U+0190 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OPEN E (Ɛ)
<Ellied>
egg: yeah I read the scrollback for once lol
<egg>
Ellied: kitty!

why does attempting to go on facebook result in needing to break out the 'pkill -9 -f' at least 50% of the time?
* egg
does not use facebook and therefore has no answer
<Ellied>
something involved is extremely shitty, and I'm not convinced it's my browser or CPU.
<egg>
WTF 2.337771065477673e+03 * Degree
<egg>
dear jet propulsion laboratory, what the fuck MA= 2.337771065477673E+03
<egg>
2337 degrees O_o
<egg>
how are you even getting this number
<egg>
;rpn 2.337771065477673E+03 360 %

avoids facebook, but notes that twitter sometimes seems to eat CPU for Reasons.
<Ellied>
twitter eats CPU whenever I have a lot of posts loaded at once, but that's fixed easily enough by opening it in a new tab every so often
<Ellied>
honestly I just have facebook for the ubiquitous messenger app at some point. I'm constantly hoping they'll publicly fuck up badly enough that all my friends will leave it, and I can convince them to move to less frustrating chat systems.
<UmbralRaptor>
Unfortunately, Google is trying very hard to mal their chat software useless. >_<
<egg>
(but which one)
<UmbralRaptor>
At least there are IRC and SMS/MMS?
<UmbralRaptor>
egg: eggsactly!
* egg
has never really been into SMS/MMS
<egg>
but IRCFTW

ok, JPL HORIZONS is just borked for Voyager, fuck it
<egg>
maybe I should do a hyperbolic comet sometime, hopefully JPL behaves sanely for those
<egg>
but for now the CL should be good enough for review, it's been in the works long enough
