He is a bit of a VPS ordering machine!

Maybe I could hire him to post for me.

he'd double your post count for sure

Maybe he's a noob alt though... Just thinking out loud.

Oh so he can win 2 IE servers?

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!

I wouldn't put it past him you know

I'm watching my back, that's all I'm gonna say.

Probably wisest

Yeah, the anticipation is getting to me I think!

i think you're really close to securing the IE

I sure hope so.

Just need to keep pushing now

On it mmnfir alb long as ICANN

BTW, sara, before I leave, have you already blocked the card?

No, I know where it is, it's safe just need to pick it up before Carolyn gets to it.

yeah, she'll be getting a really big bonus at this rate!

Glad I beat here to it. Good you mentioned that though, still gotta wire the money

for the reference put "ralf sends kisses"

Lok, that would be ultimate fun but a bit afraid of the response.

Yeah, also it's not very professional

Yeh but everyone knows I don't act professional anyway so..m

It's still very naughty because it'd end up on their bank statements. You never want to write "for sexual favours" in that field, no matter how funny it seems at the time. Causes all sorts of problems.

That's actually even better tbh.

that may or may not have actually happened

Well... It may or may not happen again.

OK, I may or may not read it in the news

You may or may not read about it in the news as it may or may not actually happen. In case it does happen, I may or may not be sharing what you think may or may not be happening.

If only I may say so.

Let me think about that for a while

Take your time mate ..

Thanks, I'll need it. Very complicated plot twists in that.

her husband / bf might freak out a bit

Girlfriend actually

Hmmm, second thought maybe you should do it!

I gotta decide. Can't sleep in it cos promised I'd send tonight.

Yeah, maybe just send it straight to her without messing around. She deserves it.

Aight will do so in a sec

And don't forget my kisses

Too tired for a threesome. Let's try again tomorrow.

I love how you just used 2 instead of 3

Yeah, I don't really want to share

But, if you don't mind me asking, why isn't the keyboard fixed yet? I mean you did mention earlier that if my keyboard breaks, then I have to learn to make do with it, rather than spending money I don't have. I totally agree with that, cause, I have done that multiple times in life. But, I am just curious cause won't it be affecting your work a lot, working without a fully functional keyboard?

prase the lord! have good news... my new key just arrved n the post about 10 mnutes ago. wll nstall t soon.

Was this a mechanical keyboard allowing for easy replacement?

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE, NEVER TRUST A SWEDE!

I SAID "I" NOT WHATEVER THE HELL THIS IS!

I guess I should at least be thankful it fits. He also sent a key called "AE" which was also not "I" and even worse was the wrong height. It's not rocket science guys.

Damn, this came all the way from Sweden? And, they still got it wrong?!!!

Sweden or Denmark, one of them, never remember which is which!

Oh, I guess, it'd be closer to sara. So, maybe get her to complain to them.

i mean this one works, it just looks a bit silly, so i guess i'll just make do

It still types I though, right?

yeah, it does now i have a key that doesn't stick

That's much better. If it's too much headache to get another replacement, just see if you can scratch off that and maybe use a marker to write I on it.

it's kind of growing on me. maybe i'll just learn how to speak swedåsh.

BTW, what's this company called anyways? And, have you already contacted their support?

i don't know, was just some cheap mechanical keyboard on aliexpress. it's a black keyboard if that helps.

Oh I see. I thought AE only had stuff mostly from China.

yeah, that's why it was cheap

They got Scandinavians working there?

Yeah, i don't understand how that happened. Maybe it was just a printing error.

Nah, prolly went there to get the cheap stuff ten got stuck behind the wall.

Drunk too much and couldn't climb the wall?

Yeah or they spiked the soda.

Probably just pissed.

Would have noticed the colour difference though.

isn't that drugs colourless?

Oh I thought you was talking pee?

I thought you were talking about spiking the drinks. Although pee is lager coloured, so depends if it's real beer or lager.

This conversation is like I dunno... We're seriously going there? Next up is discussing golden showers.

I would never do that

Aight we'll discuss it with @noob404 in the morning!

I think he said he was happy for Trump but couldn't afford one himself

Noticed the pic but didn't check.

I think the symbol is Ansgtrom, right?

best not to summon the angry storm here

LOL! I meant the actual SI unit .

This is the key, right - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

I don't know, unicodes is very confusing:

That looks like something I could have made up.

yeah, i think some of unicode is just an elaborate troll.

even english, they have about 3 ways of encoding normal quotation marks.

they decide some chinese and japanese characters are the same, even though they're visually different and so an app needs to know what language it's in to decide how to render it, but other characters that look the same they'll decide to give multiple codes for. i think it all just depends how much beer there was at lunch on the day they added things.

Must have been though up by monks then!

yeah, a few dubels short of a sixpack

I don't think they ever get a six-pack ready to be shipped.

Mind you if I had all that beer on hand, I might not be a good worker either.

Fair enough I guess. Too bad you're not devoted to god enough.

I've got a monk's outfit from a fancy dress party a few years back, so I might still be able to sneak in.

Like undercover bos? Just stay away from the kids though.

sure, as long as they don't have kids guarding the beers

That might actually be the case though...

I'll remember to take candy for them and maybe some kind of toy like a yoyo.

Yo-yo slang for......?

I dunno, I don't see kids handling yo-yo s anymore these days. Like how times have changed!

I do notice them playing with marbles again so that's a good thing I suppose.

Yeah, good point actually.

You can still get rubik cubes fairly easily along with new variants like 4x4 and triangle ones.

@dude I own them all!

Fuck, the elf hopped along!

Didn't you get rid of him buy feeding him the shrooms? If not, try it, he might think you're chasing him instead.

He went missing I'm telling you! Drove home like a maniac and he's nowhere to be seen. I hope I'm in the clear now.

Did you check the rear footwell? That's a common hiding place for elves, so he could have snuck home with you.

Fuck me, no I didn't! Should I ? Doors Locked so I should be alright?

They're sneaky little buggers so he could easily have got in when you closed the door after yourself

Fuck it. I'm getting my gun.

@dude google 67 now , lol just the numbers.

Really interesting

Mathematics: 67 is a prime number, meaning it can only be divided evenly by 1 and itself.

Wait, Google wasn't messing with your screen?

It did that too, but the nerd facts were more interesting to a boomer like me.

I see. My kid called up over that thing. You gotta look right now.

Time to take away her phone.

Yeah, it won't be long until she's asking you to google 69

@dude... I dread that day. However, if she dared when a bit older to call and ask me that.... respect.

Yeah, glad I don't have to worry about that kind of phone call!

Yeah that's like, when dating and all... She real pretty (if I may say so) so when she grows older...

Luckily she's got a godfather who's terrifying as shit so whenever she will bring home a date I'll make sure he's around to meet the guy and give him some pointers on what is and is not allowed.

Sure you as a dino could be fierce enough! But good idea to have reinforcements.

Nah, not scary enough. Prolly cos I'm pink. Hence I need a proper muscular bald and tattooed guy to scare off the nutters.

What if she brings home a bigger guy?

Hi @ralf -- ColoCrossing Dublin did experience a location-widespread incident earlier today, however it was resolved a bit over 4 hours ago. Once we received additional details from our upstream and a clearer picture around the root cause, our team updated the status page with more specifics here: https://status.racknerd.com/incident/3487

Also worth noting -- power uptime was not affected during this event, and customer servers did not need to be rebooted. Everything has been stable since traffic was rerouted against Cogent (and still is at the time I am writing this).

Oh really. Is he hot?

Lets say ... She's German.

This kind of German?

or this kind?

The latter.

Can't complain then. Always trust a girl with drinks.

All fun till she spikes your beer. It happens, so I have been told.

As long as she doesn't steal my ssh key and nick all my chickens.

I mean ... It would not surprise me if she did

And to think you gave her such a big bonus

Okay, I am slowly getting sucked into the thread, can feel my heart beating faster
Time to slow down for me, atleast.

Just take it slow like me.

Sure, would love to have lengthy conversations with you guys, not today, though. Tonight, need to take meds and try to catch early sleep. Under strict orders.

It's probably for the better. Nothing more important than your health!

Yeap, rest up, and glad your wrists are on the path to recovery!

The straight path .

It's not up to judge which way he veers, as long as he rests the wrists, I'll be happy

He was using them on you?

No, he can't reach fortunately

Cockblocked

Not blocked so much, just his arms aren't up to it

Oh, I forgot. He hurt his finger.

Yeah, and his arms are just too short

So he can't reach all the way down?

Or across

@dude probably sick of blue balls by now.

Do Penguins have balls though?

probably male ones do

Wait... Is that much? Dont spoil my number though! Do I really need to worry for my IE server?

not going to lie, you're a long way from that, and there's a chance he might steal your IE server.

Damnit. Ok everything out the window later!

Except your keyboard, you'll need that.

Yeah, but not really as pc still dead so just mobile or laptop from now on.

but you'll need the keyboard on the new pc with the rgb lights

remember? the one that comes free with the IE server

Ah , so it's an IE rig? Damn... Gotta repaint cos it'll probably be greenm

The colour is controllable by RGB so you can make it pink, but you can't get rid of the cloverleaf

Ohw... That clover will bring me good luck I guess so it can stay as long as it blends in.

Yeah, purple clover might catch on with the kids too

@dude we may start a new revolution like 6/7!

is that 7th of june or 6th of july?

BTW, are you allowed to travel to and fro NL to Germany using Schengen visa?

You just drive down the road, they don't have borders there any more

I sometimes forget that. The only other countries I can enter without a lot of hassle are Nepal and Bhutan.

Nepal sounds nice.

Also sounds very cold to me! I think it's all really mountaneous.

Not sure about the climate. I just like the word. Got a nice ring to it'.

Not sure if you're saying what I think you're saying.

If I think what you think I'm saying I think I'm definitely not saying that.

Oh, shame. That would have been fun.

It would have if I think what your thinking.

Then why weren't you thinking that before?

Because I was thinking we'd never be discussing the thing that you think I was thinking

But if we're both thinking about that now, what we you thinking about before?

Bikes obviously.

BUZZKILL

@dude .... You should really see someone about your bike trauma. So you been riding a bike in NL, I know that's scary but its nothing compared to us (real) Europeans having to drive on the wrong side of the road in the UK.

Yeah, but I bet you don't come here very often, so not too bad. It's scary for us to cycle here too because the drivers are all inconsiderate.

When you say driverst do you mean maniacs?

sadly yeah

Nepal sounds nice.

Bhutan's much better. Happiness Index and almost net 0 carbon environment.

i don't think i know anything at all about bhutan actually. not even where the country is on a map, which is quite unlike me.

It's next to India.

Yeah, but India is a big place and has borders on all directions. Could be anywhere.

No, next to the border, I'm sure.

True that. But which bit of the border. Nobody can know this, right?

I would say on the other side of the border?

Good point. That'll narrow down the search space.

By much! India is huge! Wouldn't wanna be looking at the wrong side.

Unless noob has hidden it in his back garden. He did say it was easy for him to get there.

He that rich? Damn...

Bhutan might just be really small

Like your.... ?

Mmmm, no idea. I'm all big.

Very much indeed!

Attend Oktoberfest and such?

We've already missed it, was in September

Always next year Ralf!

I think you should do a festive onlysocks looking like an oktoberfest maedchen to celebrate

I like that thought.... Will create a vision board for that.

OK, I'm imagining it now...

I might get creative with some paint.

I think sticking to traditional red white and green colours would work well. Maybe a touch of purple to endear yourself to Dustin

Or maybe just a purple peace of paper. Would save me some time.

Just put it on a shelf and tell him it's a rack. He'd love that shit.

Lol, yeh that's would be amazing, could probably glue it to a shoebox even.

Yeah, just a jaunty camera angle and he'll never know

Could always throw that Ai to make it look better.

I really hope noone is using my content to train ai cos that's gonna create some blowback in the future.

We're probably safe there, the AI looks more like real-life than some of your arty shots. AI is quite amazing now.

@dude you sure you're a Brit? No Brit likes change.

No, just that the AI pictures of your are more hyper real than the actual ones you send

Wait? Hight alert! Dublin down, Dublin down!

Ye, been down for 1.5hrs+ now
ColoCrossing and all their resellers are affected

Oh fuck, you're right! My IE chicken on CC is also down!

How many IE chickens do you need?

As many as I need. They got goblins in IE, they will show you the way to the pot of gold where the rainbow hits the ground.

The are definitely leprechauns. You don't want those fellows around.

I don't? They promised me a gaming rig!?
