00:10:51 Devastator: sounds like the name of a sex game.
01:29:20 Devastator: that an ok suggestion for the fertilizer stream,
PW?
01:33:08 piecewise: Why do you want to split it
01:33:22 Devastator: I don't know the right mix of how much fertilizer to how much water.
01:33:36 Devastator: plus it might not work right if 'water' is in the middle of the other thing.
01:33:56 Devastator: I mean, if it is just magic plant-grow water, that's just fine. But it might not work right.
01:34:22 piecewise: In series it would just make a fluid fertilizer
01:35:13 piecewise: Otherwise it will make water and some kind of growing chemical in the same bowl
01:35:43 Devastator: seems like not much difference to me, then.
01:35:51 Devastator: except with the latter I could get just water, say.
01:36:44 piecewise: The fertilizer, as is, will actually grow just about anything
01:37:54 Devastator: welp. Was planning it to just spill out into like a stream or set of pipes.
01:38:14 piecewise: Has plant in there so no hand grow
01:39:35 Devastator: that's the idea, yeah. If I wanted to make a grow everything potion or something I'd set it up in a lab or something.
01:41:47 Devastator: really, I just want to have a few dozen people and not need steady supplies, maybe raise some animals too.
01:42:02 Devastator: make it easy to get a bit of mana and get ready for back to space.
01:44:36 Devastator: and you know, more people between her and any backlash or investigations or such. ;-p
01:53:40 Devastator: Also, grow anything potion out of control.. I'd have to call it Ambrosia.
01:53:44 Devastator: You know, the Food of the Gods.
02:35:38 er: More like the fool of the gods

04:43:41 ER: flyin in circles, just tryin to land
04:48:28 Devastator: Probably be sunday for k-com, had something come up tomorrow.
04:49:09 ER: maybe you're looking for someone to blame. fighting for air while you circel the drain.
04:50:35 syv: I need to save that song onto my list.
04:53:32 ER: I guess I imagine it's a Pure vs Corrupt grudgematch. Mutual pity and disdain.
04:56:14 Devastator: wonder what Mercy on Mercy combat would be like.
04:56:56 syv: Or do you mean mercy vs witch mercy?
04:57:04 Devastator: "No, I'm the wounded one."
04:57:06 ER: just yeeting metaphysical wounds at each other in a giant moshpit of fragility
04:57:08 Devastator: "No, I'm the wounded one."
05:04:53 syv: Mercy vs Death would not go well for the mercy.
05:05:18 syv: Most MGs are not great against their own witches, but that's a particularly bad match.
05:05:36 ER: oh yeah. Is like, self-knowledge based on Mercy or Purity?
05:05:38 Devastator remembers this is a part-brave witch.
05:06:06 ER: The two "will" stats are one opposite ends of the spectrum for Sophia, which is a little weird but fun
05:06:24 ER: bein able to acknowledge your own feelings
05:06:26 syv: Hmm. Mercy is self restraint, so I wouldn't say so. Probably more pure.
05:06:56 syv: Pure is also what I'd roll for you trying to work yourself up.
05:07:12 ER: this is a pure-brave witch, and that describes over half our party!
05:07:27 ER: though Pure doesn't seem bad against Corruption, tbh
05:08:01 syv: But "self knowledge" isn't really a stat thing, that's more character RP.
05:08:13 ER: The main time it's actually rolled as a stat is against mental interference, which is the Pure's main stick as well
05:08:17 syv: A talented pure could be completely blind to herself.
05:08:34 ER: ...don't mind me, just trying to divine character from the stats I chose like two years ago
05:08:53 syv: Yeah, but that's less knowing yourself, more screaming louder than the alien voice in your head.

05:10:58 syv: (
syv) Pure vs Corruption is probably one of the better mirror matches, yes.
05:11:57 syv: Stats do affect plotty witch stuff, and "knowledge" is actually something that gets tracked, in a couple ways.
05:12:22 syv: "Mania" witches don't know shit, or at least are doing their damndest to not think about it.
05:12:31 ER: I want them eldritch secrets

05:41:23 MidJag: Oh boy, I take my MCAT in a week.
05:42:08 MidJag: Yeah it'll be intresting
05:42:35 MidJag: I was tempted to just type aaaaaaaaaaaa in for like 12 lines intially when I joined the chat but thought that would be too spammy.
05:44:08 MidJag: Would better describe my mental state honestlly.
05:44:33 ER: maybe you should consider relaxing rather than talking to us?
05:46:41 Devastator: you going to do it?
05:48:07 MidJag: Yes, it's unlikely I'll get covid in a week, and it's also unlikelly it'll get canccled this close to it. So I should be taking it.
05:48:37 MidJag: And I've been doing okay on the tests that are harder then the actual test so I should hopefully do better on the actual test.
05:49:33 MidJag: I expect I'll be like blackout drunk the day after, but during/after that I'll have time.
05:50:17 ER: it's inconvenient to try interacting with people who are wasted
05:51:27 MidJag: You interact with me when I'm wasted all the time.
05:51:34 MidJag: ...I mean not this summer.
05:52:12 ER: yes, and it's inconvienient~
05:54:26 MidJag: I just hope I'm ready for it.
05:54:32 MidJag: I don't really feel ready for it.
05:54:41 MidJag: But I'm not sure I ever will.
05:55:06 ER: just give all the right answers!
05:58:42 Devastator: yes, be perfect and nothing will go wrong.
05:58:52 Devastator: ahh, you'll do fine
MJ.
06:00:31 Devastator: what's the pass line?
06:02:58 MidJag: The pass line for where med schools will even look at you is like a 50th percentile. I'm averaging like 78th percentile, but the score I want is like 90th percentile, which sounds way higher but isn't that many points higher than what my test scores have been.
06:03:09 MidJag: and you tend to do better on the actual test for whatever reason.
06:03:53 MidJag: So I'm in good shape. It's just a bit tense yah know?
06:05:45 MidJag: Also if I get 90th percentile I get to rub it in the face of this guy I can't stand :P
06:09:25 Devastator: best revenge, that.
06:14:07 Devastator: "Sufficiently obtruse jargon"
06:24:40 Devastator: still on the cycle of eternally trying to fix a specific washer.
06:24:53 MidJag: Ah, with a mysterious half manuel?
06:24:58 ER: doing a m a z i n g thanks for asking~
06:25:22 Devastator: Yeah. Turned out it wasn't the problem I was thinking it was, but it has a problem related to that. Some of the signals from the board are stuck on or stuck off permanently.
06:25:41 Devastator: there's probably a couple more relays that are broken on it that I didn't know about when I sent them to be replaced earlier.
06:25:50 Devastator: ie, the ones I knew about were broken, but there were some more.
06:25:52 MidJag: Sounds like an electronic issue more so than mechanical.
06:26:13 Devastator: so I now need to test as many as possible to avoid missing any. So far it looks like three.
06:26:26 Devastator: only one of which I know what specific one it is.
06:27:00 Devastator: I still don't have the proper manual, but there's a better way of doing tests that avoids that difficulty.
06:27:29 syv: "Well, we sent you to the surgeon to get your bones fixed... and they did get fixed... but it turns out more of your bones were broken than we thought. So we're just gonna test all your bones then send you back."
06:27:53 MidJag: That's not entierlly unlike how surgery worked before X-rays.
06:28:17 Devastator: without the stuff that was fixed things wouldn't have gotten this far yet.
06:28:32 Devastator: it would have been impossible to notice these issues without the previous relays fixed.
06:28:45 Devastator: it would just blow a fuse immediately.
06:29:07 syv: And here I was just joking about
Dev being a machine doctor.
06:29:46 MidJag: Heh, I once had to get a Ph probe to work with exactly half a manuel, and the first time user set up instruction manual.
06:29:57 MidJag: This sounds way harder then that.
06:30:25 Devastator: That was basically the first job I had!
06:30:34 Devastator: ie, they hired me because the last guy botched doing so.
06:31:19 Devastator: wired several amps of power to run through an electronic relay, instead of wiring up the controls on a pump to run through an electronic relay.
06:31:55 Devastator: There are relays that can handle that kind of power, but those ones were quoted as being good up to '1.5 amps'
06:32:11 Devastator: so presumably the guy, looking at a pump that draws 1.2 amps when on full, said 'sweet, i'm gonna do that.'
06:32:35 Devastator: in reality I wouldn't have trusted those relays to handle even one amp. They looked pretty tiny.
06:32:47 Devastator: and they were intended to run controls.
06:32:57 Devastator: which generally max out at 20mA.
06:34:15 Devastator: I've done my share of fuckups, mind you.
06:35:09 Devastator: but that was just dumb. There was no reason he couldn't have rigged it up to simply have it handle the control line on the pumps instead of the power line.
06:36:54 Devastator: hell, this current machine is basically my fuckup.
06:37:30 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK T-MOBILE!"]
06:39:24 Devastator: we then removed it and had the motor repaired, and had to replace several other parts at the same time.
06:40:06 Devastator: Nah, that was wrong.
06:40:12 Devastator: the inverter that powered the motor burned out.
06:40:21 Devastator: we replaced that, and rewired everythign again.
06:40:29 Devastator: which included rewiring the motor.
06:40:42 MidJag: That's quite the proccsses.
06:40:47 MidJag: What kinda washer is this?
06:40:56 Devastator: When we started it up again, one of the valves got stuck open, which caused water to rain down along the inside of the machine.
06:41:12 Devastator: it's a 250 pound load machine.
06:41:26 Devastator: ..which included the motor since I didn't check if the lid was on before starting it up.
06:41:56 Devastator: which caused the motor to burn out, which had to be pulled and repaired, and caused at least some, but probably not all, of the problems I'm having now.
06:42:16 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:42:30 MidJag: Still not as bad as running several amps through a control circuit :P
06:42:46 Devastator: Actually, this is more costly.
06:43:15 Devastator: that cost several thousand. The motor repair was several thousand, and the guy doing the board repairs is probably charging us an arm and a leg.
06:43:35 Devastator: the motor repair was only 400.
06:43:41 Devastator: it wasn't bad apparently.
06:46:19 Devastator: to the world of tomorrow.

I think my continuing refusal to teach Sophia and Bobby how to swim actually worked in my favor this time, since Primus continually focused on the cheap and easy instakill instead of hurting multiple people or using Interstitch to kill and do damage. It definitely could’ve gone a lot...
