from a compute cluster I have access to:
<bofh>
2017-06-29: The cluster will be SHUT DOWN and moved to a colder part of
<bofh>
the room on 2017-07-06. That's next Thursday, and we plan to have the
<bofh>
cluster back in operation by the following Monday.

<Iskierka>
... the single room is large enough for it to make a difference?
<UmbralRaptor>
I'm going to assume that there's a cluster in the VAB unless corrected.

<UmbralRaptor>
zzzing on the library floor is no[r]mal, right?
* UmbralRaptor
stabs the uncertainties of moving logistics.
<UmbralRaptor>
(And the additional difficulty of doing it with uncertainty of how many people/what size place, and trying to do so mostly remotely)
<UmbralRaptor>
It's... painfully demotivating.

<UmbralRaptor>
A minecart?
<SnoopJeDi>
for moving, I guess?
<SnoopJeDi>
so in DF, so in real life: moving without a cart is hard
<Iskierka>
had you not already moved?
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: SnoopJeDi: or a wheelbarrow

Iskierka: working on it, hopefully will have an apartment decision by the 10th.

Unfortunately, this sort of motion is incompatable with symplectic integrators.

knows someone who moved recently but she only did cross-town and is in canada. And probably one of the most distant parts from you
<UmbralRaptor>
(I *have* moved in the past, but in this case it's longer with less support/guidance. Also, I probably should get rid of more stuff.)
<Iskierka>
google: "How to move across country"
<SnoopJeDi>
I moved from MD -> TX but had only one roommate who was local and already had moved into the place
* Iskierka
will probably need the "how to move country" version in a couple years with how the tory nonsense is going
<UmbralRaptor>
Where to?
<Iskierka>
If EU is a viable option, probably somewhere that seems sane there as it'll be cheaper, else probably canada for simplicity of exploiting the commonwealth movement
<Iskierka>
while I fully expect the tories to be capable of destroying the commonwealth they're busy with the EU for now
<Iskierka>
I would need to double check, but I'm pretty sure within commonwealth the only thing I need to completely just move in and start working is a passport. No visa or limited stay system
* whitequark
moved cross-continent once
<whitequark>
i packed all my shit in three suitcases twice and threw everything else out or sold it on craigslist
<whitequark>
paying the airline for three really large suitcases was cheaper than hiring a moving company
<SnoopJeDi>
Yea, as expensive as it is for normal travel, it's surprisingly affordable for moving purposes

aircraft are reasonably fuel efficient; presumably they have a relatively constant per-seat overhead for maintenance and landing fees, so with extra cases they're just charging the minimal fuel cost

I would be surprised if I haven't witnessed you pulling off that sort of a sleeping schedule before
<hattivat|work>
personally, I'm useless if I sleep less than 7 hours in a day
<egg|work|egg>
hattivat|work: true but back then I didn't have a job

apparently I can still do it?

Æthelred of Wessex, the son of Æthelwulf, the brother of Æthelstan, Æthelswith, Æthelbald, Æthelberht, Æthelred, and Alfred (the black sheep of the family?)

hattivat|work: nah, this is in reference to Æthelred II
<egg>
hattivat|work: look at the code
<hattivat|work>
first I'll need to look at wikipedia, I'm not to familiar with early English history
<hattivat|work>
so far I see that he was a rather ugly fella with a sword that looked like a giant icicle
<hattivat|work>
egg: should have looked at the code earlier, the joke was easier to get than I expected
<hattivat|work>
anyway, I learned a bit about Ænglish history, and that never hurts
<soundnfury>
egg: nice

also, I like how the Brits were already into puns so early in their history
