wants to apologize for being flakey about organizing an ANBO meeting, but dealing with the trip logistics has saturated my uncertainty tolerance. =X

<bofh453> <sorear> i'd also like to see QFT on something resembling a rigorous foundation ⏎ <@bofh453> I'd like a unicorn as we… https://t.co/8E2vf0xaek
<bofh>
UmbralRaptop: no worries :3 it sounds like a messily tight schedule to begin with for you, too.
<UmbralRaptop>
thanks
<UmbralRaptop>
… for some reason I thought QFT had a rigorous foundation, please expand?
<bofh>
depends on how much you consider things like renormalization and the underlying technique behind diagrammatic evaluation rigorous
<bofh>
jesus fucking christ, I just got blasted by 28degC 90% relative humidity air trying to step outside just now. it's astronomical twilight right now.
<bofh>
like, this was Shanghai in July at it's worst, except now I'm not at 31.21°N on the ocean, I'm at 40.11°N in the middle of the Midwest.
<bofh>
fuck *everything* about this.
<bofh>
I'd say "kill me now" but the weather seems to already be on it.

UmbralRaptop: maybe we can try again when you go to that Austrian conference
<egg|zz|egg>
UmbralRaptop: when is it again?
<egg|zz|egg>
ah, 20180110 <AASRaptor> egg|work|egg: looking back at the scrollback, my phone ate part of my response; I will probably *not* be in Vienna.
<egg|zz|egg>
:-/
<egg|zz|egg>
UmbralRaptop: well clearly the solution is a dedicated ANBO conference,
<kmath>
<ShinraAlpha> Read a thing on Tumblr the other day about how "punishable with a fine" means "legal for rich people" and it's lodged in my head firmly.

I love you X11 clipboard, and by love you I mean hate you.

bofh: switzerland has this interesting thing where fines scale with one's salary
<egg|zz|egg>
(based on a number of days, with an upper bound of 3000 CHF per day)
<bofh>
egg|zz|egg: see, this is the *correct* way to do it. iirc, Finland does the same, except w/o upper bound.

Me: why am I so tired?
<UmbralRaptop>
Also me: forgot to eat more than ~150 Cal in the past 24 hours.
<BPlayer>
I'm sure Raptops need more than that
<UmbralRaptop>
Just a bit.
<bofh>
UmbralRaptop: huh, that might explain why my tiredness went away after I kind of impulse-ate like two chocolate bars.

I really enjoyed the parts of Deus Ex in France for how suggestive they were

So, there's a KLM aircraft with "the flying Dutchman" written on it. Is this. bad sign?
<NomalRaptop>
Also, this travel thing is a good reason not to attend any of today's protests, right?
<bofh>
Ehh, it's why I haven't gone to any (well that & it's death-hot outside), but I'm not a citizen so that makes me a bit paranoid.
<SnoopJeDi>
Protesting is also not the only form of activism

SnoopJeDi: so I don't really social anxiety, tbh.
<SnoopJeDi>
introversion maybe then
<SnoopJeDi>
I mean, I don't want to assign you a personality profile, I'm talking in general
* NomalRaptop
is feeling anxious about the unknowns (at a personal level) about traveling. There will additional anxiety at the conference.
<SnoopJeDi>
There's this kind of implicit idea going around right now that activism is only about going to protests, as if single-day events are what political action looks like
* SnoopJeDi
...goes to finish sending Moog's anti-tarriff form letter to NC reps
* NomalRaptop
is deeply burned out on voting for the lesser evil and getting the greater evil anyway.

NomalRaptop, I've become of the opinion that we need to guard our inputs pretty closely
<SnoopJeDi>
Too many people gorge themselves on "catching up"
<SnoopJeDi>
I mean being in touch is laudable but some people are living and breathing it and burning themselves out
