Banban`specing, congrats on winning the euro soccer match00:40
Banban`what for me is more exciting, is campagnolo was the brand of parts that pogacar had that helped him win  the tour de france by a large lead00:43
Banban`i guess all the eu'ers and brits are sleeping now00:43
specingBanban`: I don't remember playing soccer00:45
Banban`oh sorry i meant LjL, my error00:46
Banban`got mixed up :P00:46
specingNah, Pogačar isn't human. Doesen't matter which parts his bike has00:46
Banban`lol00:47
Banban`i'm still glad campy was on the bike to stop some of that campy hate i get online00:47
LjLoh well, i only just discovered tour de france happened, wouldn't if you hadn't mentioned it00:47
Banban`ok00:47
Banban`the guys with the japanese bikes and parts always attack me for using campy00:48
Banban`i never thought that happened, but online anything happens00:48
Banban`i thought they were joking00:48
Banban`but they were not00:48
LjLi just say cycle and be happy00:48
Banban`yea00:48
Banban`LjL , campagnolo groupo, and colnago frame00:49
Banban`a dream bike00:49
Banban`specing nice going with the spelling and accent on his name ;)00:50
specingnaturally, we are both slovene00:51
Banban`yeah true00:52
specingthe only reason for not using čžš would be if my keyboard input was broken00:52

Banban`ha00:54
LjLand yes00:54
Banban`ok00:54
specingyeah, CET (GMT+1)00:54
specingSlovenija*00:54
Banban`j like a y ?00:55
LjLfor now at least. the EU is set to make a mess of timezones after removing daylight saving time00:55
Banban`they are?00:55
LjLspecing, we're currently in CEST (GMT+2), to nitpick00:55
Banban`then we will too00:55
LjLBanban`, yeah, although i'm not entirely sure they're much focusing on it right now given things, but it was decided00:55
specingLjL: ok, I thought GMT included DST00:55
Banban`i prefer not to change the time00:55
Banban`i prefer to add 1 more day to the weekend :P00:56
LjLthe problem is, it was decided that we would no longer have DST, but... actually i'm not even *sure of that*, they basically cancelled the Time Directive (which sounds like star trek but you can look it up, it's a thing), so i really fear that some countries will continue using DST and some won't, resulting in much confusion00:56
LjLeven if that doesn't happen, though, you could end up with Italy in one timezone and Switzerland in another, if one decided to stick to the summer time and the other to the winter time00:56
LjL(ok Switzerland isn't in the EU but the point stands)00:56
specingThe UK already exited and Poland is next, so the EU will be much more focused around CET00:57
LjLspecing, GMT is basically the same as UTC except if you're a physicist or astronomer. the british switch from GMT to BST (British Summer Time)00:57

nixonixbut why wouldnt that happen with viral vector vaccines too then...22:41
nixonixwas it proven it doesnt?22:42

nixonixi just read 20% of finns are unhappy now too22:52
ansDudeunhappy about what?22:53
ansDudenixonix, agreed22:54
nixonixi dont know, but it was up from previous 17%, now 20 according to news22:54
LjLI agree with you that this channel should provide information, debate, but also a bit of help or at least try not to make the depression worse, but I have no good ideas on how to achieve that, I tend to make others depressed22:54
ansDudewhats really grinding my gears is people telling me to get the mRNA vaccine when i've had covid and survived.22:55
nixonixhow long time ago was it22:55
LjLWant to try again?22:55
ansDudenixonix, December 201922:56
nixonixsars2 + vaccine gives really good ab titers, better than 2 doses22:56
ansDudeLjL, if it'd covid vs. mRNA, then yes I would like to have covid again vs. a brand new category of vaccine22:56
nixonixverified how? not many ppl had it 201922:56
ansDudei took some chinese antibody test in march 2020. i think it hit SOCAL hard/fast/early at the end of 2019.22:57

nixonixits way more likely that you got false positive from ab test than you really had it that early22:57
ansDudei disagree nixonix. my kid was in a preschool, a parent from the same class was flying to china twice a month. not sure of the exact city, but i know he was in china ~1-2 weeks before us and the entire school +- our neighborhood (other kids went to the same school) all god sick22:58
ansDudenixonix, perhaps it was a false positive. i22:58
nixonixi would bet 1000 vs 10 that it was false positive, easy money22:59

Brainstormnixonix: From towardsdatascience.com: False positives/negatives and Bayes rule for COVID-19 testing | by Tirthajyoti Sarkar | Towards Data Science22:59
LjLOkay 2019 is not impossible for sure but also not very likely, just trusting a cheap antibody test to assume you've had covid that early doesn't seem rational22:59
ansDudeafter looking at the covid symptoms i thought i had it too. for me, at mid 30s, good health/no issues, I will take my chance with COVID .. if i did not already have the antibodies22:59
ansDudeLjL, i can understand your viewpoint22:59
kreyren[m]Hmm i though that PCR tests are unreliable23:00
ansDudefrankly the more people tell me i need the vaccine, the less i am wanting to take it.23:00
ansDudePCR tests above 25 cycles are absolutely unreliable trash23:00
nixonixlambda was it another south american variant? i havent read about it much, but SA variant is supposedly most immune evasion variant still, and good mrna vaccines still work well preventing serious symptoms23:01
nixonixLjL if you get contact to defacto, ask him back. or to have a break time that he feels is good, but after it23:02
kreyren[m]ansDude: i can't care less if you take the vaccine or not i am just concerned about the mutations... So try avoiding being a makeshift lab for the virus? :p23:02
ansDudehaha kreyren[m] 100% agree with you. I honestly just avoid people, i have before covid and i will continue to do so after.23:02
ansDudei work remotely, i order groceries with instacart and i keep to myself and just hang out in the nbeighborhood with some neighbors23:03
kreyren[m]since eventually people without sufficient immunoglobin agains the virus will die on their own, there is a natural selection for a reason23:03
LjLnixonix: I can contact him but I think I'll leave him alone for some days at least, feeling pestered may be worse23:04
kreyren[m]LjL: gimmeh the info on the lambda being immune agains the vaccines23:04
kreyren[m]🔪23:04
nixonixwe all get it eventually, vaccinated or not, and probably several times like other respiratory viruses that circulate. just less damage when vaccinated23:04
* kreyren[m] points to his gas mask23:05
LjLkreyren[m]: have got no info23:05
ansDudenixonix, supposedly less damage. what're the long term effects of mRNA? what's this nonsense i read about all prior lab animals with mRNA vaxes dying23:05

nixonixansDude did you read that link above, nbcchicago23:06
ansDudenot yet, will click in a minute. working too23:06
kreyren[m]ansDude: animals are not the same as humans.. i am not aware of any trustworthy information on the long-term effects of the mRNA vaccine other than the 40yo(?) research since 1970s23:06
kreyren[m]ansDude: also would be interested in the info on the tested animals dieing else hearsay23:07
nixonixk. around 1 B vaccinated with mrna now, or over 2B because viral vector vaccines like AZ are actually mrna vaccines too23:07
ansDudenixonix, "I usually start by saying, first of all, there are no vaccines that we know of that have long term side effects,"23:07
nixonixand very few have died because of side effects23:07
ansDudeyes, but there have been no vaccines of this type before, so you can't say no long term affects of other vaxes are the same as this new mRNA vax23:07
nixonixread it all23:07
ansDudeok ill hold my paragraph by paragraph commentary =P23:08
kreyren[m]aaaa long texts23:08
ansDude"That's when we hear a lot about. Again, for this or any vaccine, there's never been a vaccine linked to fertility problems,"23:09
ansDudelots of women complaining about irregular period symptoms post vax on reddit23:09
kreyren[m]no source -> hearsay23:09
kreyren[m]no data to support the hypothesis -> hearsay23:09
ansDudei was browsing it myself on reddit it was under /r/covid19 i think23:10
ansDudehttps://old.reddit.com/r/CovidVaccinated/search?q=period&restrict_sr=on23:11
kreyren[m]<ansDude "lots of women complaining about "> there are lot of reasons for irregular period including mood, diet, etc..23:11
ansDudeoh i get it, lots of reasons for every symptom under the sun23:12
ansDudejust enough for me to go 'naaa, you all can be lab rats'23:12
ansDudein 3 years, i'll get it if i determine i need it23:12
kreyren[m]my hypothesis is that there is a minor thrombosis associated with the vaccine since there is a data on inadvertent intravescular vaccination to cause up to fatal issues23:12
ansDudemRNA looks like it'll be great tech, but i'll try it out later23:12
ansDudehmm interesting, what would cause the thrombosis though at the inject site?23:13
nixonixits not impossible, that the immune reaction you get esp from the second dose, will throw periods irregular for some time. if similar happens with colds and shit, idk23:13
kreyren[m]See https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.29.450356v1.abstract??collection= to support my hypothesis23:13
ansDudenixonix, i didn't know that happened to women when they got colds23:13
kreyren[m]which examines the AstraZeneca vaccine23:13
nixonixme neither23:13
ansDudekreyren[m], whats your occupation23:14
ansDudefiguring you're a medical person23:14
kreyren[m]sitting on my ass having a fan in my face and looking at nixOS turning my atom notebook into a melting lava23:14
kreyren[m]ah you meant professional23:14
ansDudenixos is this like a new gentoo ?23:14
ansDudeyou like compiling everything =p23:14
kreyren[m]i would classify myself a businessman with interest in politics, but my alma mater is in medicine which i didn't complete yet due to the pandemic23:15
ansDudeok makes sense, i think you can digest the medical words a bit faster than me. i've gotta have the dictionary up on the other window23:16
kreyren[m]ansDude: Yes it's better then gentoo in terms of an integration, but still painfully incompetent23:16
kreyren[m]would argue paludis being superrior to it if exherbo devs weren't such a retards that don't know how shell works23:17
kreyren[m]> i think you can digest the medical words a bit faster than me23:17
kreyren[m]I update wiki with the finding and outsource to processing to my subordinate so you can probably read the article there and keep yourself informed23:17
kreyren[m]just apply critical thinking meaning don't trust everything you read unless you have a good reason to believe it and always keep an open mind23:18
ansDudethe github link in the topic ?23:18
kreyren[m]nah that's just LjL 's hobby that none reads~ :p23:18
kreyren[m]ansDude: i meant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19, read and start discussion about things you are unsure of23:19
ansDudeok ill check it out23:20
ansDudeone last grenade from me23:20
ansDudechinese bio weapon? or chinese incompetence and it was released by accident?23:20
ansDudeor #3, something i'm not considering23:20
ansDude#4 made at some us military base23:20
kreyren[m]i am leaning towards it being incompetence in the lab, but keeping open-mind for it being natural mutation23:21
dTalwell that was exciting23:21
kreyren[m]would say that most likely an incompetence in the lab, but we need investigation to know for sure23:21
dTalI got a positive lateral flow result after a weekend camping trip23:21
LjLuh oh23:22
ansDudeis that a pcr test?23:22
dTalno, lateral flow23:22
kreyren[m]ansDude: for example the hypothesis i've said to you before it being discussed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pfizer%E2%80%93BioNTech_COVID-19_vaccine#Research_highlights_the_increased_risk_of_fatal_myocarditis_from_inadvertent_intravenous_administration_highlighting_the_importance_of_aspiration23:22
nixonixtry another brand? better get pcr, tho, but would be interesting to see if two brands would give false positive for similar reasons23:23
kreyren[m]eh am i stupid or how is lateral flow relevant to covid-1923:23
ansDudedTal, any symptoms?23:23
BrainstormNew from r/WorldNews: worldnews: Olympic Village COVID-19 infection bubble already 'broken,' health expert says → https://is.gd/ERWElo23:23
dTalI immediately reported it to NHS, then went to get a PCR test for confirmation, but they said there was a several day lag23:23
LjL<ansDude> chinese bio weapon? or chinese incompetence and it was released by accident?  ←  this is the kind of thing i don't like to see here. incompetence may be involved, bioweapon would need a *very* strong argument, either way, we all know it originated in China, so there's no need to tack it on as "Chinese incompetence" on everything you say. if there is a debate to be had about the risks/benefits ratio of bio labs where sensitive research is made, i'm sur23:23
LjLe it applies worldwide.23:23
dTallemme finish the story23:23
LjLkreyren[m], ansDude: "rapid test" ffs23:23
kreyren[m]ah lateral flow tests23:24
dTalEver since I reported it to the NHS I've been *flooded* with "your test was positive" emails and SMS YEAH THANKS NHS23:24
nixonixhow many days since the trip? many soccer hooligans that got it from russia, got 1 or 2 negatives before symptoms and then positive23:24
* kreyren[m] was imagining putting blood in a vile and waiting for it to colagulate somehow23:24
dTalanyway, long story short PCR came in negative today23:25
LjLdTal, there is your first issue, doing as directed :P23:25
ansDudedTal, but did you haver any symptoms? did you feel anything? or is this more asymptomatic nonsense.23:25
LjLdTal, do you know what's the nominal specificity of the rapid test you got?23:25
kreyren[m]ah i have those~ came up positive after i ate my vegan meat~ The soya is infectious apparently23:25
LjLusgh23:26
dTalor at any rate I got a "your test was negative" notification sandwhiched in the 10 "your test was positive" notifications23:26
joerg>><ansDude> in 3 years, i'll get it if i determine i need it<< I suppose you won't need a vaccination in 3 years, you either aqquired immunity "the most natural way (YES, like this)" or you will die trying to go that path23:26
dTalLjL: no idea and can't seem to find it23:26
LjL"or is this more asymptomatic nonsense" ← i'm afraid i already know this is more nonsensical nonsense23:26
ansDudei believe ive already aqrruied immunity, i will go double check my antibodies again with a test from CVS instead of the chinese one i bought online joerg23:26
LjLat what point does the "fingerprint" of the typical person that ends up getting banned need to match enough?23:27
LjLjust wondering23:27
dTalmy mate who was also on the camping trip got two void (invalid) results in a row with the same batch23:27
ansDudeLjL, sorry i dont believe the asymptomatic thing.23:27
joergansDude: that sounds like a good plan then23:27
ansDudeLjL, if you'd like me to leave i dont mine.23:27
ansDudemind23:27
LjLansDude, well sorry it's not a religion, you don't have to "believe" the "thing"23:27
dTalwe're thinking it was either a bad batch, or I ruined them by storing them in a super hot car23:27
ansDudeLjL, kind of funny you mentioning banning. i'm guessing you're talking about me.23:28
LjLyes, i was23:28
nixonixthose free uk rapid tests are prob the cheapest chinese brand they could find23:28
LjLwhat makes it funny23:28
nixonixor those old ones, they bought millions, and found out they were crap23:28
ansDudei kind of believe thats how all you cult of the covidian people are. you wont let me be, you wont let me make my own decisions that affect me and my life. you want to cram down your demands that i stick this mRNA technology into me to satisfy you23:28
dTalnixonix: they actually seem to come in subtly distinct versions23:28
dTalon some of them, the QR code is textured (you can feel it with your fingertips), on others not23:29
ansDudei know people like you LjL will be coming forcefully for the unvaccinated. you will try and make everyone who chooses not to stick the mRNA technology in their body a 2nd class citizen, or force them to take the injection23:29
dTalthey look basically identical23:29
LjLwhat makes it not-funny to me is that each of the typical persons who ends up spouting out enough nonsense to get banned goes pretty much the same trajectory, we can see it'll end there but they haven't said anything *quite* so absurd yet as to get banned, but it just makes everyone nervous. so i'm wondering if there is a point where just noticing patterns is enough to ban even if nothing genuinely outrageous has been said just yet. the answer is probably "no",23:29
LjLbut it's a bit of a burden on me and others.23:29
BrainstormUpdates for Iceland: +114 cases (now 6832) since 4 days ago23:30
LjLansDude, now what is funny is that i now took objection to the "asymptomatic thing", nothing about vaccines23:30
LjLbut you come back talking about what i want to make of you as an unvaccinated person23:30
ansDudeok, i will stop burdening you LjL. just be of the mind if someone doesn't want what you're selling dont force it on them. if you do, be prepared for backlash23:30
kreyren[m]<ansDude "i know people like you LjL will "> do you have better idea to reduce the risk of people dieing bcs people don't take the vaccine to drastically reduce the risk of new variants23:30
LjLwell that was easy-ish23:30
* kreyren[m] HARD SMASH23:30
LjL-Pfizerthis way at least it's clear what i'm selling23:31
joergansand I now people like you who come provoking conflict by namecalling and insult23:31
kreyren[m]are you ansdude~23:31
joergoh too late23:32
nixonixi used to identify tdk cd-r's made by taiyo yuden before buying a box, opening it a bit from the corner and feeling if there was a texture you could feel with fingertip. if there wasnt, it was made by some inferior manufacturer23:32
kreyren[m]<joerg "ansand I now people like you who"> you know me too well senpai~ <323:32
dTalwell the textured test was the one that gave me a (hopefully and very likely) false positive23:32
* kreyren[m] just does lab tests as they are more reliable23:33
dTalwell ain't that the truth, but they aren't instant or free23:34
nixonixwith this indian variant, its supposedly transmissible faster than older variants, but those that got it from russia often got positive test (after previous negative results) after 4-6 days they came back23:34
kreyren[m]<dTal "well ain't that the truth, but t"> near instant and free for meh~23:34
nixonixso they were in quarantine for 14 weeks, and went to take the test several times23:35
nixonixdays23:35
dTalwas gonna say23:35
dTalhelluva quarantine23:35
LjL-Pfizerkreyren[m], meanwhile have you figured out how bad is that variant i had never heard of that you mentioned earlier?23:36
LjL-Pfizerthis channel is meant to do my COVID research work for me!23:36
LjL-Pfizerwhy else would i have made it23:36
joergdTal: I seen a note that my quicktests are only valid within one hour after opening the sealed bag they ship in. I guess high temperature is sth those tests don't like at all23:36
kreyren[m]there are most likely 1000+ variants where we only track the 5(?) that are most concerning and spreading.. you have to be more specific23:36
kreyren[m]LjL-Pfizer: ^23:37
LjL-Pfizerkreyren[m], well YOU MENTIONED IT EARLIER23:37
nixonixi saw some graph showing high ct several days longer than older variants, and looked like possibly infective longer than 14 days. if i could find the link...23:37
LjL-Pfizerreferene your own specificity23:37
LjL-Pfizerreference aso23:37
LjL-Pfizer... ALSO23:37
kreyren[m]I've mentioned AstraZeneca vaccine and said that i am concerned about new variants23:37
specingLjL-Pfizer: are you bottled up and ready for action?23:38
kreyren[m]oh and i asked for data about lambda being immune to vaccines23:38
LjL-Pfizerspecing, i do appear a little drunk if one reads me lately23:38
LjL-Pfizerso maybe bottled up is right23:38
nixonixseems to be the from the study i linked here a few days ago https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/141567289092677222423:38
LjL-Pfizerkreyren[m], right lambda, that was the only part i saw, since i was eating and stuff so i didn't see what you said about AZ23:38
* kreyren[m] likes to argue with drunk people~ they usually get smarter23:38
kreyren[m]LjL-Pfizer: read report that lambda is immune to vaccines.. wanted some data on it as the report was questionable23:39
LjL-Pfizerkreyren[m], https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.28.21259673v1 is about CoronaVac and lambda faring badly with it23:41
LjL-Pfizerbut i'm not sure CoronaVac fares extraordinarily well with anything23:41
kreyren[m]what's the credibility of that source23:41
LjL-Pfizeri don't have a sensible answer to that but i'm not sure it's a sensible question23:42
LjL-Pfizerit's a study, it's conducted with university of chile ethical approval, i'm afraid you'd have to judge it on its merits23:43
kreyren[m]> Methods We performed a pseudotyped virus neutralization assay and determined the impact of the Lambda variant on infectivity and immune escape using plasma samples from healthcare workers (HCW) from two centers in Santiago, Chile who received the two-doses scheme of the inactivated virus vaccine CoronaVac.23:43
kreyren[m]> [coronavac's] Peer-reviewed Phase III results from Turkey showed an efficacy of 83.5% (95% CI, 65.4–92.1%) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoronaVac#Results_of_Phase_III_trials23:44
kreyren[m]> Preliminary results from a large study of health care workers suggest one dose of CoronaVac is still about 50% effective against symptomatic COVID-19 in Manaus where over 75% of new cases are caused by the highly transmissible Gamma variant.[81]  -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoronaVac#Variants23:45
semLjL-Pfizer, pfizer gang eh23:45
kreyren[m]hmm i am questioning what factors are influencing sinovac to lose efficacy as the thailand's public health ministry finds the efficacy being 71~91% agains alpha23:47
LjL-Pfizerkreyren[m], i don't know, my rule of thumb is if numbers are all over the place (like with AZ), i probably would prefer another vaccine23:48
LjL-Pfizerthis nick would make de-facto madder though, i should nick to LjL-BNT but best i just go back to LjL before other channels bite me23:49

LjL-MatrixI'm sorry you didn't see the initial IRC ban, but you will see this at least23:53
dTalI like to imagine that when Ljl switches to LjL-Matrix everything turns to trickling phosphor green kanjji and he can stop bullets with his hand23:54
LjL-Matrixkreyren: You think you're funny or whatever, be funny in my PM if you really have to, sometimes I'll entertain you and sometimes not, but I cannot let you continue act this way in here, and next time you get banned, by me, Ublx or whatever, it may very well be virtually permanent, so if I were you I'd be thankful I stop you before it gets to that, but it will only happen so many times. If you like to test waters just until *past* the red23:55
LjL-Matrixline, and play some kind of dominance game, eventually that game gets you banned. If you're happy with that and then ban evading forever, then you'll give both of us a headache. Is it such a great idea?23:55
