[04:08:26] <MatthewASpencer> always here lol
[04:09:06] <dafydd68> I shtere ever a time that Risa DOESN'T have lots to talk about? lol
[04:10:09] <dafydd68> For all bats? Horeshoe bats? Pipistrelles?
[04:10:44] <MatthewASpencer> star wars has a day we need a day
[04:10:51] <StargazerJ> I think it should be first contact day too
[04:11:34] <dafydd68> Or 4/7
[04:11:58] <StargazerJ> Maybe we just need to start celebrating it and the politics will catch up?
[04:12:05] <dafydd68> we could have the same day as US independance day lol\
[04:19:12] <StargazerJ> Demon hunter?
[04:20:40] <BLINDBAT> hello risa hello deyvid
[04:22:00] <BLINDBAT> got some news you might want to anounce just in case people had not heard
[04:22:02] <BLINDBAT> https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-alerts/trump-administration-to-send-u-s-cellphones-a-test-alert-on-thursday-idUSKCN1LV0N6
[04:24:01] <dafydd68> nope
[04:24:08] <dafydd68> didn;t watch the emmys
[04:26:54] <Deyvid> Hiya BLINDBAT. Thanks I hadn't heard about that
[04:27:41] <Deyvid> oh yeah
[04:27:46] <dafydd68> and the outer limits
[04:27:58] <Deyvid> well a 10-episode season
[04:30:56] <StargazerJ> I heard someone got a poor rating from The Young Turks because they had an ice cream cake that started to melt and so he held it out the window but it dripped all along the car lol
[04:32:20] <StargazerJ> Oh I saw that. Didn't the guy look like Fat Damon, I mean Mat
[04:33:55] <StargazerJ> It was like a darker version of the Barkley episode.
[04:36:45] <StargazerJ> That would be interesting considering how it ended
[04:38:28] <StargazerJ> I prefer The Orville to Discovery, it's more trek lol
[04:39:54] <StargazerJ> Bablyon 5 was awsome
[04:40:17] <dafydd68> Tehre is also The First - the one near future show about the first manned mission to Mars.
[04:41:06] <Durzan20> hell i like the expanse better than STD or orville
[04:41:22] <Deyvid> yeah I heard Expanse was really good
[04:41:26] <StargazerJ> I heard they cancelled it:(
[04:41:29] <dafydd68> The Expanse is realistic rather than hopeful lol
[04:41:37] <dafydd68> Amazon picked it up...
[04:41:49] <Durzan20> expanse was picked up by jeff bezos personally actually
[04:41:51] <StargazerJ> oh reeeeeally:)
[04:41:54] <Durzan20> yep
[04:42:33] <Berryella> Greetings Selects :)
[04:42:40] <Durzan20> ive got 2 episodes of the expanse left to binge, westworld season 2 next
[04:42:57] <Berryella> sorry wrong chat
[04:43:01] <dafydd68> yeah - we have watched ep1 of season3...got the rest to watch :-)
[04:43:02] <Durzan20> Flea markets man
[04:43:07] <StargazerJ> Think I finished season 2 of Expanse
[04:43:26] <Durzan20> flea markets are great for dvd's now
[04:43:39] <dafydd68> yup :-)
[04:44:10] <Durzan20> the expanse is like a science fiction version of dr. strangelove in many ways. we must not have a doomsday weapon gap!
[04:46:42] <Durzan20> henry winkler was great in arrested development
[04:47:21] <BLINDBAT> lol
[04:47:59] <StargazerJ> I think public proposals are pretty shitty tbh
[04:49:46] <BLINDBAT> he was on stage when he said that then called her up and put the ring on her finger and then got one knee
[04:50:58] <StargazerJ> I just think it's something that should be done in private. What if they don't want to say yes? Just seems a cheap way to apply pressure
[04:51:28] <BLINDBAT> I think it is romantic
[04:51:48] <StargazerJ> agree to disagree
[04:51:50] <Durzan20> but your not a hollywood actor with a big ego and deep seeded narcisism
[04:52:04] <Durzan20> to them its probably the most romantic thing possible
[04:52:36] <StargazerJ> I didn't see it to be fair
[04:53:14] <Carebear-Lyta-Zax> i like it when thay say no
[04:53:24] <StargazerJ> lol
[05:02:57] <StargazerJ> I've seen a few Rebels:)
[05:05:59] <Durzan20> remember deyvid, you can only watch one show at a time, so you can do what i do. get netflix till you binge everything you want, shut it off, go to amazon. binge everything you want. turn amazon off.
[05:06:05] <Durzan20> etc. etc.
[05:12:35] <Durzan20> https://www.space.com/39795-amazon-making-the-culture-sci-fi-tv-series.html
[05:13:11] <dafydd68> Shatner did an awful job of reading from the teleprompter too
[05:13:32] <dafydd68> AWesome! the Culture on tv? that is really good news!
[05:13:47] <dafydd68> Shame Iain Banks passed away a couple of years before it got to tv
[05:14:24] <dafydd68> I read all the culture series - it is what gave the Space X raft it's name
[05:14:26] <Durzan20> i broke down crying that day almost as hard as i broke down crying when nimoy died
[05:14:28] <BLINDBAT> espys
[05:14:33] <BLINDBAT> not espos
[05:14:36] <Durzan20> ian was so YOUNG
[05:14:49] <Durzan20> shoulda written another 30-50 books
[05:14:56] <dafydd68> yeah same, although it was expected - he had married his long time partner just a few months earlier to ensure she had a secure future
[05:15:23] <Durzan20> i read his blog posting about that right after it happened
[05:15:55] <Durzan20> he found out he had terminal cancer, so he said he asked his partner, will you do me the honor of becoming my widow?
[05:16:10] <dafydd68> oh, i hope they do ALL the cultrure books...that would be such awesome tv
[05:16:20] <dafydd68> yes, it was very sad
[05:16:22] <Durzan20> if done well yes
[05:17:02] <Durzan20> you know his fiction novels are taught in college lit classes. im sure his sci fi novels get taught in sci fi lit classes
[05:17:19] <Durzan20> ive only read the wasp factory.. its intense
[05:18:21] <dafydd68> I have read so many of his books I forget what I have/havent read lol - It used to be the first place I went to in the Library
[05:19:08] <Durzan20> ive read all his sci fi, but just the one non-sci fi
[05:19:24] <Durzan20> the algebraist is awesome too
[05:19:42] <dafydd68> Talking of cahrities - can we give a shout out to the Klingon Pop Warrior, raising money for her local childrens ICU via Extra Life?
[05:21:10] <dafydd68> The player of Games was the first I read - it was just so diffrent! fell in love witht he whole culture at that point
[05:21:28] <Durzan20> elon has more important things to worry about right now doesnt he?
[05:21:30] <dafydd68> Japanese billionaire I think
[05:21:49] <Durzan20> like some financial fraud shenanigans, and getting caught funding the anti-science republicans
[05:22:06] <StargazerJ> Didn't they re-name it Enterprise after an outcry?
[05:22:11] <dafydd68> https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/sep/17/elon-musk-space-x-moon-rocket-japanese-billionaire
[05:24:02] <Durzan20> that might have been the highlight of his presidency lol
[05:25:08] <Durzan20> yeah blue origin is correct i think
[05:27:27] <BLINDBAT> 1776?
[05:27:47] <dafydd68> Dave Gilmour should go
[05:29:12] <dafydd68> Pink Floyd should play Dark side of the Moon
[05:29:34] <BLINDBAT> roflmao
[05:29:56] <dafydd68> Or the pointer sisters - Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuump
[05:29:57] <BLINDBAT> how about lady ga ga sing space oddisy lol
[05:30:29] <StargazerJ> I don't know if an artist would find much inspiration on the moon. There's just no atmosphere
[05:30:38] <dafydd68> lol
[05:31:30] <BLINDBAT> that part of the show always makes me cry
[05:31:30] <dafydd68> plenty of scope for Rock music....perhaps Amy Lee singing regolithium
[05:32:11] <Durzan20> perhaps they can graffiti the moon and make it more interesting
[05:32:27] <dafydd68> Great idea! Send Banksy up (in secret)
[05:33:37] <dafydd68> they will need to make sure their pants are tucked in...lots of Lunar Ticks
[05:34:50] <BLINDBAT> what is wrong with BLIND people lol
[05:35:11] <dafydd68> I can't see anything wrong with Blind people
[05:36:07] <Durzan20> at least until the the oceans rise and the next inevitable global thermonuclear war
[05:36:39] <Durzan20> texas just decided to remove hillary clinton from textbooks. i cannot express just how proud i am of my state. fricking morons
[05:36:53] <dafydd68> lol
[05:37:19] <dafydd68> on the plus side there will be more room for inspirational bible verses
[05:37:21] <BLINDBAT> station going fuinky agaijn
[05:37:33] <Deyvid> it's my connection to discord
[05:37:35] <Durzan20> well the courts still stop that nonsense thankfully
[05:37:42] <dafydd68> i sure hope so
[05:37:54] <Deyvid> the station, and my connection to in general is fine
[05:37:59] <Deyvid> it's just my connection to discord
[05:38:30] <BLINDBAT> I am really mad about the keller thing because it says blind people dont do concrabutions
[05:38:31] <dafydd68> Taht was Avery Brooks's favourite episode
[05:38:46] <BLINDBAT> and that is what we are teaching out youth
[05:38:58] <dafydd68> He directed it too
[05:39:08] <Durzan20> oh, we are removing helen keller too apparently
[05:39:08] <BLINDBAT> next they are going to say that about stephen hawkins
[05:39:12] <Durzan20> http://time.com/5397204/texas-board-of-education-remove-hillary-clinton-helen-keller/
[05:39:17] <dafydd68> I agree BB - it is like disenfranchising a whole sector of the community
[05:39:57] <dafydd68> they talked about that episode a lot on the DS9 panel at STLV
[05:40:03] *BLINDBAT will get off her soapbox now ... as she trips over deyvid's feet
[05:40:17] <dafydd68> lol - you go for it BB....you have every right
[05:41:15] <Durzan20> probably gonna replace her with a blind man
[05:41:34] <dafydd68> yeah - the one in the bible
[05:43:16] <dafydd68> Didnt Nog get shot or beaten up or somtheing?
[05:43:26] <StargazerJ> I thought Nana Visitor looked really strange without her wrinkles lol
[05:43:45] <StargazerJ> Nog lost a leg
[05:44:20] <dafydd68> s
[05:44:26] <dafydd68> ah
[05:44:38] <Durzan20> Star Trek has always been left wing SJW nonsense, as is proper of any hopeful science fiction.
[05:46:11] *BLINDBAT just spit her water ot
[05:46:18] <BLINDBAT> out
[05:47:02] <BLINDBAT> Risa I am glad you spoke up
[05:47:27] <Deyvid> yeah every series has the good emotional episodes
[05:49:26] <Durzan20> some thought the klinks were the russians, and romulans were the commie chinese
[05:49:53] <StargazerJ> I've always equated the Klingons with the Japanese
[05:50:20] <dafydd68> Bamboo Kane
[05:50:28] <dafydd68> yeah - honour
[05:51:09] <StargazerJ> I can see how the TOS series ones may have related more to Russia though
[05:51:47] <Durzan20> barbarians were big on "honor" too, and klingons were never reliably honorable
[05:52:08] <Durzan20> but they were definitely barbaric with an empire in mind.. so yeah, soviet union basicly
[05:53:15] <Durzan20> all religions are cults :) how harmful they are is simply a matter of degree
[05:56:45] <Durzan20> or like the US national guard units
[05:57:45] <Durzan20> i would shoot up with T'pol any time
[05:58:58] <Durzan20> remember the pennsylvania episode with t'pol sharking pool
[05:59:01] <StargazerJ> That was whole point of the episode. That there was underlying emotion
[06:01:07] <Durzan20> Build the alien wall around Bajor and be done with them
[06:01:46] <StargazerJ> I believe in the baseball episode it was stated that the vulcans have 3x the strength
[06:02:25] <Durzan20> somewhere sometime in my memory vulcans were described as 10% stronger than humans
[06:04:37] <Durzan20> barbaric bulliness is also a display of emotion
[06:06:52] <StargazerJ> The Zarkonian
[06:07:06] <Durzan20> yeah thats an awesome episode
[06:07:20] <StargazerJ> "I bust him up" lol
[06:07:43] <Durzan20> and then you have chess savants, who are homeless, but can beat grandmasters
[06:08:59] <StargazerJ> There's a lesson in that episode for the whole pro sports world. It's possible to do everything right and still lose
[06:09:33] <Durzan20> if your gonna skip a star trek series, skip voyager
[06:09:54] <StargazerJ> I enjoyed Voyager
[06:10:08] <StargazerJ> Though it was a bit preachy
[06:10:43] <Durzan20> too many fundamentally illogical plot points that annoy me more and more over time
[06:17:12] <Durzan20> horror isnt scary unless its at least theoretically realistic, which rules out most horror movies from the start
[06:23:48] <Durzan20> the surprising part of that is obama signed that law, and trump didnt cancel it
[06:24:13] <BLINDBAT> even if your phone is turn off it will go off
[06:25:02] <BLINDBAT> same system amber alerts go out on
[06:25:15] <Durzan20> dont see the point
[06:25:30] <BLINDBAT> you can not oupt out of it
[06:26:01] <Durzan20> states already do emergency messages, emergencies are generally localized, dont see why they need 2 systems
[06:26:32] <TL> hi, we have that alrdy that here couple years, that they send sos message every first monday from the month, to test it
[06:26:54] <BLINDBAT> this law was done just in case we have a nuclular attack or another 911
[06:27:27] <Carebear-Lyta-Zax> all it is, is one more way that can track you
[06:27:32] <TL> but you can choose to set it off
[06:27:50] <BLINDBAT> no your cant tl
[06:27:59] <TL> oh
[06:28:45] <TL> but do have sirene test to?
[06:29:19] <BLINDBAT> yes but they do not sound sirens for amber alerts
[06:29:57] <TL> they use sos also for big fires when the cloud from it is toxic
[06:30:33] <Durzan20> texas also does silver alerts, which is for old people, usually with some kind of dementia
[06:30:40] <TL> we have both system here the sos and amber
[06:31:01] <BLINDBAT> nuclar attacks need
[06:32:14] <StargazerJ> There wouldn't be any notification if there was an end of the world event. Around the year 2000 iirc there was an extinction level event size asteriod that passed closer to the Earth than the moon...
[06:32:42] <StargazerJ> but they didn't mention it until 6 months later that they didn't know if it was going to miss
[06:33:00] <BLINDBAT> the federal can target what states or national
[06:33:00] <StargazerJ> until very near the time
[06:33:05] <TL> we get today for the first time a designated survivor
[06:34:27] <BLINDBAT> your weather alerts are put out by national weather service
[06:34:30] <TL> so funny that we get system both from either
[06:34:50] <BLINDBAT> wtich works with the EAS
[06:35:11] <BLINDBAT> the states can access it noe
[06:35:25] <Carebear-Lyta-Zax> GPS tracking is all it is telling you lol
[06:35:38] <BLINDBAT> I volenteer for National weather service
[06:35:38] <TL> maby this system is better protect from hacking
[06:35:56] <BLINDBAT> the eas is still there
[06:36:43] <Durzan20> i would imagine this capacity has existed since the first SMS text messages went out on a cell network
[06:37:56] <BLINDBAT> the want people like me to report
[06:38:00] <TL> the mobile make a sound but is skake /fibe to
[06:39:18] <BLINDBAT> you cant
[06:39:24] <BLINDBAT> they will come on
[06:39:48] <Durzan20> obviously, deyvid, you dont watch many crime/espionage shows hehe. they can turn on a cell phone that is turned off
[06:40:01] <Durzan20> you can however remove the battery..
[06:40:25] <BLINDBAT> not the presidental ones lol
[06:40:49] <BLINDBAT> btw the phone co can not charge you for the text
[06:41:43] <TL> it is good thing, there where you live can also a train or truck with toxic stuff go badd
[06:43:36] <BLINDBAT> as long as I dont get a text from this alert blaming the "fake news"
[06:44:09] <BLINDBAT> I did not want people to freek out like with war of the worlds lol
[06:44:35] <Durzan20> highly afraid, the law says the definition of national emergency is up to the president, and according to that current guy everything bad that happens to him is a national emergency. Witchhunt!
[06:49:31] <BLINDBAT> home theater counts
[06:52:34] <Carebear-Lyta-Zax> it all the SJW shit talking about it
[06:56:41] <Durzan20> do i hear pot smoking? :)
[06:56:54] <Deyvid> lol nope
[06:56:59] <Durzan20> oh yeah, elon musk got in trouble for pot smoking on a podcast. feds are not happy
[06:57:07] <Deyvid> not weed/pot
[06:57:16] <Deyvid> I was burning sage, white sage smudge wand
[07:09:54] <Carebear-Lyta-Zax> David when you get off the AIR i will see something about ur discord
[07:14:17] <BLINDBAT> only if I can confrancate dayvid's weapons
[07:15:57] <BLINDBAT> nigth all
[07:16:08] <TL> thx for the show
[07:16:40] <TL> bye
[18:11:19] <Meowcat285> Hello
[18:11:43] <MatthewASpencer> hello
[18:13:04] <Meowcat285> How are you?
[18:14:18] <MatthewASpencer> in here
