[01:23] Not sure how I feel about this [01:23] chronomex: Rochester Institute of tech [01:23] you should feel horny [01:24] hahahaha [01:24] Well, the one was just at a local furry thing [01:24] which is whatever [01:24] the other was on the on-campus porn-sharing utility [01:25] and, damn, that motherfucker has some weird shit lol [01:25] lots of people do [01:25] Girlfriend would go to gay night at the local club [01:25] get used to it [01:25] (not that I can talk) [01:25] Bring me along [01:25] She liked to dance there because bros didn't make it their business to get all up on her shit [01:25] So I'd walk her there, hang out, walk her home [01:25] Best part was running into classmates [01:25] Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [01:26] * SketchCow raises glass [01:26] Hahahaha [01:26] heyyyy bro [01:26] Total gaydar calibration fail [01:26] bzzt [01:26] braaaap [01:46] lol what the hell is going on here [01:49] BlueMax: party time [01:50] But you're too young underscor [01:51] Too young? ;P [01:51] can't donate blood either [02:03] Why not? [02:03] too gay [02:03] I thought you had to have actually slept with a dude for that to take effect [02:07] Is that still the case? [02:07] I think that's out of date now. [02:08] Nope. [02:09] Once you've done it once, you can't give blood for the rest of your life. [02:09] At least, under the current MSM statutes [02:10] Yeah, you're right [02:10] With studies underway to change it. [02:14] Yup :) [02:14] At least we'll probably see a change of that in our lifetime. [02:18] Bit stupid I'll admit [02:18] But...they have a point, no matter how bigoted [02:18] More recently, it's not really a point. [02:20] Yeah, more recently it makes no sense [02:20] It's just as easy to be dumb and get AIDS through heterosexual intercourse as it is homosexual. [02:20] So either, require everyone be tested, and allow them to donate [02:21] What I want to know is how they stop gay people from giving blood [02:21] or ban everyone from donating blood. [02:22] Total derail, but go look up transmission rates [02:22] Before you say one config is more or easy [02:23] lol, who cares about derailing conversations [02:23] this is -bs baby [02:34] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylmercury "Dimethylmercury is extremely toxic and dangerous to handle. Absorption of doses as low as 0.1 mL has proven fatal.[6] The risks are enhanced because of the high vapor pressure of the liquid." [02:35] nope.jpg [02:35] holy hell [02:35] So basically drip a drop onto someone and it could kill them [02:36] yep [02:36] it's happened [02:36] "The toxicity of dimethylmercury was highlighted with the death of the inorganic chemist Karen Wetterhahn of Dartmouth College in 1997, months after spilling no more than a few drops of this compound on her latex-gloved hand." [02:37] "Dimethylmercury passes through latex, PVC, butyl, and neoprene rapidly" :(( [02:37] Yeah, fuck that thing [02:37] the phrase "reference toxin" is bad enough [02:42] have to add that to the "fun chemical" list with chlorine trifluoride, which starts violent fires on contact with such substances as "glassware" and "asbestos" http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2008/02/26/sand_wont_save_you_this_time.php [02:57] yes that's great stuff [04:14] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7nva7meVv0 1995, A documentary about obsessive 8-track tape collectors, the film documents a cross-country trip looking for those passionate few for whom the 70s never died. [04:16] Soojin: I'm grabbing that [04:17] its not on archive.org [04:19] http://8trackheaven.com/?q=abigail-lavine :/ [04:34] godane what was your email so i can stalk your archive.org uploads [04:37] slaxemulator@gmail.com [04:45] i'm uploading it right now [05:04] i'm making a grab of www.8trackheaven.com now [05:08] fantastic :) [05:15] Soojin: I'm also saving techtv stuff: http://archive.org/details/TechTVSept2002 [05:19] so someone put up the walking died on archive.org [05:20] it is freach or something too [05:21] http://archive.org/details/Dead.3.3 [05:27] Soojin: Uploaded: http://archive.org/details/so_wrong_theyre_right [05:31] :) [06:24] looks like sandhills publishing company has tractor magazines [06:24] like 8 of them every 2 weeks [06:25] its by area [06:25] thats why there is 8 magazines released [06:46] i'm getting there controller magazine: http://www.controller.com/digitaleditions/archive.aspx?archtype=Controller [06:59] looks like cetips.com is blocked cause of newer robots.txt [07:00] i wanted to look at cetips.com website back in 2004 to maybe get some more magazines of them [08:23] ersi: then why do the trains stop due to the failing? [08:46] SmileyG: You don't die when a power line goes down, another train is in the way, faulty track or just train queues because of delays or when a switch goes boom [08:47] faulty track can kill quite easily [08:47] such as the one which developed a "hole" recently [08:48] ersi: but yeah I get you; I think its just annoying because its all the damn time [08:48] Have they not heard of redundant systems? :D [08:49] Well, they built the rail fifty years ago. There's now houses and other kinds of infrastructure around the tracks [08:49] I guess they could build a bridge on top of the rail and run more track there [08:50] sure, any of those *could* kill people.. but they don't. Not here at least [08:58] I know I know [08:59] just annoying when I'm spending stupid amount each month to get to work [08:59] Just alittle more polite would be nice [08:59] "Sorry, we've fucked it again, please forgive us" [08:59] Instead it feels like "You want to travel...? ON A TRAIN?? ARE YOU BONKERS?!" [17:59] i think tidalwave is a spy run by the polish government, it joins/parts every efnet channel on a daily basis. [18:33] care [18:33] omgponies, someone's watching me on iiirrrccc [18:38] found out that wayback machine does have some cpu pdfs: http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://computerpoweruser.com/articles/PDFmagazine/* [19:05] "spying" on publically logged channel. Wp. wp.
