00:27:21 <jsled> Morbus: is the the router? I was wondering if you were able to download the update to USB stick and do it that way.
00:27:36 <jsled> Of course, that wouldn't help with the data sync'ing, but...
00:27:39 <Morbus> was definnitely the router. 360 and wii were slow as hell or timing out too.

10:00:36 <sbp> ugh
10:00:51 <nslater> coke and about 68 shots of hard spirits
10:01:00 <Arnia> mm... hard shots
10:01:10 * Arnia sometimes thinks he is turning into Morbus
10:01:21 <sbp> tea is meant to be hot and bitter and not coke
10:01:38 * Arnia boils some coke for sbp
10:01:39 <xover> You're just filling an evolutionary vacuum since Morbus went AWOL.
10:01:53 <xover> The tea/coke is mainly just for coloring.

10:03:03 <xover> 3 parts Vodka, 3 parts Tequila, 3 parts White Rum, 3 parts Triple Sec, 3 parts Gin, 5 parts lemon juice … and a dash of coke.

10:03:37 <xover> yeah
10:03:49 <nslater> i love the "dash of coke"

10:04:25 <sbp> that does parallel tea
10:04:26 <Arnia> coke made from saffron
10:04:33 <sbp> which ought only to have a dash of milk at the most
10:04:43 <Arnia> sbp: tea snob ;)
10:04:47 <sbp> unless it's green or white tea; in which case no milk ever
10:04:48 <sbp> yeah!
10:04:48 <xover> Again, it's mainly for colouring.
10:04:52 <nslater> tea should not have milk!
10:05:03 <xover> I'm actually warming up to green tea.
10:05:08 <nslater> well, I drink earl grey, and only lemon juice is acceptable
10:05:15 <sbp> I am sympathetic to those who say it should have no milk
10:05:24 <sbp> ah. yes, earl grey is a strange abomination
10:05:26 <xover> I usually drown my tea in sugar (don't look Sean, you'll only regret it).
10:05:29 <sbp> lapdog shoesnog too
10:05:41 <xover> But the green teas I've tried have been palatable without it.
10:05:43 <nslater> never take suggar with tea or coffee
10:05:53 <xover> Which is a bit strange, I think.
10:06:03 <sbp> I tried tea with honey once
10:06:07 <nslater> regular tea, without milk and without suggar tasts fucking rank
10:06:07 <Monty> potty mouth!

10:06:31 <nslater> yeah
10:06:37 <sbp> if you had a good darjeeling or ceylon, that wouldn't be an issue
10:06:46 <nslater> yeah, no doubt
10:06:49 <sbp> of course you need milk and sugar in commercial brands
10:06:50 <xover> Tea, Coffe, and Single Malt; neither should have artificial additives (such as milk, sugar, or ice/water)
10:07:05 <sbp> otherwise you might as well drink vinegar

10:09:02 <xover> Yes, unless it's Cask Strength (e.g. Bruichladdich).

10:09:34 <nslater> heh
10:09:41 <xover> They started putting water in it when it was a standard ration for soldiers in some war or other; the water was to kee the men in fighting condition.
10:10:11 <nslater> if it has no water, what makes up the liquid part of the solution?

16:34:33 <sbp> to wit: one earth definition of the verb "waffle" in sense of prevaricate
16:34:35 <jeanniecool> :-P
16:34:55 <xover> ?
16:35:20 <melbel> you didn't know how to waffle?
16:35:23 <jeanniecool> "waffle" as a verb.
16:35:26 <jeanniecool> I *know*!
16:35:31 * melbel giggles
16:35:49 <melbel> awesomes jeanniecool
16:36:05 * jeanniecool curtsies again
16:36:22 <nslater> erm
16:36:31 <sbp> in the UK, waffle means ramble or blather
16:36:32 <nslater> ... to waffle on, you mean?
16:36:41 <jeanniecool> I still heart him, though, despite this latest gap of knowledge.
16:36:43 <nslater> sbp, did you not know this?
16:36:49 <jeanniecool> Yes, nslater.
16:36:57 <xover> Off With His Head!
16:37:01 <sbp> nslater: what do you think waffle means?
16:37:02 <nslater> wow, really, WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE IS SBP?
16:37:21 <sbp> I mean, has the us sense supplanted the en one for you?
16:37:22 <Monty> desiste!
16:37:26 <nslater> waffle has two senses to me, something yummy to eat and something one does when one waffles on at somebody
16:37:36 <sbp> nslater: right. so you don't know the us sense either
16:37:37 <spb> waffles and mayo
16:37:41 <nslater> oh
16:37:41 <sbp> which is prevaricate, as I say
16:37:43 <nslater> nope!

16:37:57 <phenny> prevaricate - 1. get out of telling truth
16:38:05 <nslater> ermwhatnow
16:38:09 <sbp> man, I don't know what prevaricate means either apparently
16:38:17 * xover was about to say…
16:38:19 <sbp> .w prevaricate
16:38:20 <phenny> prevaricate v. 1: Be deliberately ambiguous or unclear in order to mislead or withhold information.
16:38:21 <jeanniecool> No no no - he can keep his head.
16:38:28 <nslater> eitherway, i reject this new informations
16:38:38 <sbp> to be undecided is what I meant
16:38:41 <chandler> for example: the Doonesbury icon for Bill Clinton was a hot buttered waffle
16:38:43 <jeanniecool> Yeah, see, "prevaridcate" has neg. connotations, whereas "waffle" is just wishy-washy. :-)
16:38:49 <jeanniecool> chandler++
16:39:03 <chandler> of course you ukians probably don't know Doonesbury either
16:39:05 <nslater> no, waffle is to blather on about something, the truth value is unimportant
16:39:30 <xover> .w inconstant
16:39:31 <phenny> inconstant a. 1: Likely to change frequently often without apparent or cogent reason.
16:39:51 <jeanniecool> No, nslater, in US, verb waffle means to be ambivalent.
16:40:15 <xover> Am I the only one familiar with both uses?
16:40:43 <xover> You people are contagious.
16:40:54 <jeanniecool> with both the blather and the ambivalence? Apparently, xover.
16:43:26 <jeanniecool> You US-born but did boarding school in the UK?
