The below can be used to save the settings to a file or load them from a file. Useful if you want to transfer the settings between devices or feel better editing the settings by hand. Settings are stored as a cookie in your browser.
The below is a unique name for your settings. If you update your settings on one device, all other devices with the same name should be updated. This is done by checking if the stored cookie has an update date later than your current cookie. If you change the name, then the update date will be set to 0 so that an attempt will be made to load the latest data from the database.

The below can be used to set an offset in minutes to alter the displayed timestamp. So, for example, someone in CST (which is UTC-6) will use an offset of -6*60=-360. Autodetect should find your offset automatically using javascript.

The below can be used to set a colour for each user's name, overriding the automatically generated colours. Saved colours are displayed in order of priority. Notify allows you to receive push notifications for replies mentioning that name.

01:20:02 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:38:42 Devastator: ok, enough k-com for today, and tomorrow will be busy. I'll try to finish it thursday.
05:39:05 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:39:33 MidJag: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/14/science/venus-life-clouds.html
05:39:42 MidJag: This might be really cool
05:42:29 Devastator: Heya MJ.
05:42:45 MidJag: hoya dev.
05:42:50 Devastator: I'm of mixed feeling about it. Seems likely there is just some unknown chemistry.
05:44:02 MidJag: Probably, but if its not then theres going to be some really crazy prokaryotes there which would just be so god damn cool.
05:44:42 Devastator: Yeah.
05:44:50 Devastator: the phosphorous on Venus had to go somewhere, after all.
05:44:59 Devastator: into some species.
05:45:05 Devastator: chemical species.
05:45:45 MidJag: I'm a microbiology major, half oof my major is finding ut we know jack shit about a very large number of micrbioloical organisms, because they dont like being cultured.
05:46:20 MidJag: But its entierlly possible venus just has some weird chemistry.
05:46:29 MidJag: Its a weird planet.
05:46:40 Devastator: It's also a planet loaded with proton donors..
05:47:55 MidJag: I mean there are acidophiles. Life makes some weird shit. Also relevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/
05:48:48 Devastator: Need more atmospheric probes, really.
05:48:52 Devastator: gotta burn up some more landers.
05:49:37 Devastator: Mmm.
05:50:53 MidJag: Yeah. Thats gotta be depressing designing a probe for venus. "Okay so the probe now is just a tank, whats the survival time? 4 mintues. Damnit"
05:52:04 Devastator: Yeah, they can't rule out weird chemistry, it's all calculated equilibria, which is mostly accurate, but not wholly accurate.. a thousand reaction conditions sounds like a lot, but you can't exhaust things with a billion.
05:53:15 Devastator: well, lets get building. How long to get a few relevant probes?
05:54:38 MidJag: No idea. My guess 10 years if theres some conclusive data that they need to take a closer look.
05:56:54 Devastator: I don't know.
05:57:03 Devastator: I mean you know your probe is gonna get ravaged from the beginning.
05:57:20 Devastator: I would think that would add a thrill element to probe-building that normally would not be present.
05:58:33 MidJag: Thats true. You get to roll the dice on which exact aggressuvelly destructive element of venus destroys it first.
06:01:36 MidJag: I guess it would kinda be like sending a probe into like a gas giant. You know its fucked its just a question of how quicklly its fucked.
06:13:36 Devastator: plus there's a clear high score element, too.
06:13:43 Devastator: four minutes! A new record!
06:17:00 Devastator: extinction's going ok.
06:17:46 MidJag: Maybe you get extra points different elements take it out. Like a bonus score if its acid rather han heat :P
06:18:38 Devastator: heh.
06:28:25 er: ----
06:29:10 er: -\\\||///-
06:29:22 Devastator: ok
06:31:51 MidJag: Should go to bed. Night gents
06:31:55 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
06:42:16 Devastator: Rich must have had fun with having all the fun reactions to the name "Durkon Thundershield."
06:42:26 Devastator: I mean, he went back to the joke at least three times, in different ways.

21:09:53 ER: so, apparently there's a little bit of text at the end of a new Demon's Souls Remastered trailer says that the game will be available on PC
23:44:48 Devastator: oh?
23:44:50 Devastator: that a surprise
23:44:52 Devastator: ?
