| 00:27.37 | shalkie | Again, just amazed at how effective that ad is and how ineffective I would have thought it to be against past presidents. |

| 15:20.16 | youtah | went to go see JP Sears last night at Wiseguys (they actually did a really good job at distancing people). |
| 15:20.27 | youtah | I give it a solid 3/10 stars |
| 15:20.29 | youtah | no more |
| 15:23.31 | youtah | First problem is that he is a youtuber and all of his skits/comedy acts, are pre-recorded, sliced, diced and edited for consumption. |
| 15:23.44 | youtah | Where as stand up live comedy is a whole new ball game |
| 15:24.04 | youtah | but I think he could get there eventually by practicing mre |
| 15:24.06 | youtah | more |
| 15:24.29 | youtah | But he also tried way to hard to push his political agendas into the act. |
| 15:25.30 | youtah | Apparently he is REALLY anti-covid, this it is all fake news, refers to masks as (I think he said?) ANTIFA Diapers? (not in a jokingly manner) and made cracks at the people who have died |
| 15:25.34 | youtah | it wasn't funny |
| 15:25.51 | youtah | anyway, so that was not fun |
| 15:39.37 | keldwud | wait, weird al? |
| 15:39.43 | keldwud | weird al is anti-covid? |
| 15:39.52 | keldwud | who are you talking about youtah ? I'm missing context! |
| 15:39.54 | youtah | no |
| 15:40.00 | youtah | see my first line |
| 15:40.02 | youtah | lol |
| 15:40.09 | keldwud | oooh ok JP sears |
| 15:40.15 | keldwud | sorry, it bled into the background noise of my client |
| 15:40.30 | keldwud | I always have a lot of fun at wiseguys. or did pre-covid |
| 15:40.55 | youtah | They separated the tables a lot |
| 15:40.57 | keldwud | and yeah, that's really disheartening to go see a comedian only to find out that they're not doing comedy but spreading misinformation |
| 15:41.07 | youtah | exactly |
| 15:41.22 | keldwud | I got to see bob saget there. one of the more fun experiences in my life |
| 15:41.35 | keldwud | he gets very intimate with the audience and just freestyles a lot off of audience members |
| 15:41.51 | keldwud | he sang to me and about me. it was awesome |
| 15:42.38 | keldwud | saw a few other comedians as well. haven't struck out yet. sorry to hear about your negative experience. |

| 19:12.34 | jlp_znc | that's too bad, youtah. I enjoy JP's youtube stuff, but it sounds like I would have been disappointed, too. |
| 19:21.57 | keldwud | he would have been a hit in Utah county for sure |
| 19:22.08 | keldwud | :) |
| 19:23.56 | youtah | keldwud, not necessarily |
| 19:24.01 | youtah | I couldn't figure him out |
| 19:24.05 | youtah | he is also, very pro BLM |
| 19:33.45 | utahcon | saw Kevin Smith at wiseguys, that was a treat |
| 19:52.57 | keldwud | I've never seen Kevin Smith's standup, just his lectures. Is his standup different than his story-telling at his lectures and panels? |
| 19:56.06 | jima | utahcon: oh, you were there, too? |
| 19:56.22 | jima | i wouldn't say it was standup |
| 19:56.34 | jima | i think he was sitting the whole time |
| 20:07.02 | keldwud | everyone wear your masks! |
| 20:07.18 | keldwud | who was it that was arguing the hospitals aren't full enough earlier? |
| 20:07.26 | jima | and there's the emergency alert |
| 20:07.28 | keldwud | yup |
| 20:07.46 | keldwud | it's going to be extremely bad 2 weeks after halloween |
| 20:07.57 | keldwud | I've already started quarantining more |
| 20:08.00 | jima | probably :-( |
| 20:08.14 | keldwud | I'm hearing about all sorts of people talking about going out and trick-or-treating |
| 20:08.52 | jima | my wife was thinking about getting some biohazard tape to put across our yard :-P |
| 20:08.59 | keldwud | I hope the emergency alert convinces more people to take it seriously |
| 20:09.06 | jima | FAKE NEWS |
| 20:09.12 | jima | FAKE PANDEMIC |
| 20:09.14 | jima | PLANDEMIC |
| 20:09.26 | keldwud | jima: I mean it very well could be. there are still rational people who feel that there's enough capacity at the hospitals still |
| 20:09.45 | jima | yes, you CAN be both rational and stupid |
| 20:09.46 | keldwud | well, I assume most people in here are rational to some degree :) |
| 20:11.21 | keldwud | would the alert info be on utah.gov maybe? |
| 20:11.33 | keldwud | I want more details |
| 20:11.37 | jima | uh sec |
| 20:11.53 | keldwud | hmm, 504 https://coronavirus.utah.gov/ |
| 20:11.57 | jima | it may be getting hammered |
| 20:12.01 | jima | ha |
| 20:12.02 | keldwud | yeah looks like it |
| 20:12.16 | jima | i was saying that when it was waiting to give me a status code |
| 20:12.17 | jlp_znc | statewide, there is plenty of hospital capacity... but some hospitals are at capacity |
| 20:12.20 | keldwud | utah.gov still works at least |
| 20:12.34 | keldwud | yeah I wanted to see where there was still capacity |
| 20:12.35 | jlp_znc | something about more people living in one part of the state than another |
| 20:12.36 | jima | https://coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-health-guidance-levels |
| 20:12.40 | keldwud | so when I catch it, I can make sure to be in that county |
| 20:12.44 | jlp_znc | go figure |
| 20:12.48 | keldwud | lol |
| 20:13.01 | keldwud | coronoavirus.utah.gov just got hammered 504 |
| 20:13.09 | keldwud | erm, wrong channel lol |
| 20:13.15 | jima | also: https://twitter.com/CNNPR/status/1322206119486464004 |
| 20:13.19 | keldwud | there's some buzz about hospitals being targeted? |
| 20:13.29 | jlp_znc | so they send out the emergency alert, point you to a web page, and then expect everyone in the state to click on the link at once... and it's probably running on a rpi in the governor's basement |
| 20:13.34 | jima | oh, ransomware? yeah kinda |
| 20:13.55 | jima | jlp_znc: yeah, i don't think they thought that through |
| 20:14.17 | jlp_znc | someone should introduce the state IT department to cloudflare |
| 20:14.26 | keldwud | maybe they forgot to turn on autoscaling |
| 20:14.40 | keldwud | also, I was supposed to interview for utah.gov, but I missed my appointment :( |
| 20:14.56 | jima | jlp_znc: uh, 504 would still happen with cloudflare, if the site were poorly architected |
| 20:14.57 | keldwud | due to crazy stuff going on in the city at the time |
| 20:15.13 | keldwud | getting 502 now |
| 20:15.20 | jima | it's cloudfront, close enough |
| 20:15.24 | keldwud | looks like their server crashed |
| 20:15.28 | keldwud | well, assuming |
| 20:15.37 | jima | backend may well have, yeah |
| 20:16.05 | keldwud | dang, now I'm wishing I had finished the interview process. it sounded like they had a really small team from the first two interviews |
| 20:16.52 | jima | i think i may have painted myself into a corner where civil service can't pay me more than i make now :-\ |
| 20:17.06 | jima | seems like it might be interesting work though |
| 20:18.15 | keldwud | yeah, I was in a position where the pay would have been acceptable for me at this point in my life |
| 20:19.36 | keldwud | it's crazy that herbert finally declared public health emergency and it's like that's when people decided to go out even more |
| 20:20.12 | keldwud | utah state governor declares public health emergency. |
| 20:20.19 | keldwud | utah citizens: "hold my beer" |
| 20:20.47 | jima | yeah, if i lost my job, all bets are off |
| 20:23.30 | keldwud | with all the halloween parties planned for tonight and tomorrow, I doubt anyone is going to just cancel their events of 10+ people |
| 20:23.53 | keldwud | I guess all we can hope for is the dial to shift even a little at this point |
| 20:24.40 | jima | yeah, the timing of this declaration may be a tad bit futile. |
| 20:25.53 | jima | ffs, how does my work have employees in 90 countries |
| 20:29.18 | jlp_znc | one sales guy in outer mongolia working out of his camper counts as an employee in that country, you know |
| 20:31.03 | keldwud | that's my dream |
| 20:32.02 | *** join/#utah bkeys (~Thunderbi@8.sub-174-250-4.myvzw.com) |
| 20:32.20 | *** part/#utah bkeys (~Thunderbi@8.sub-174-250-4.myvzw.com) |
| 20:32.50 | jima | no, we actually don't have any people in mongolia, inner or outer |
| 20:34.49 | jima | 24 countries with less than 10 employees, 37 with less than 100 |
| 20:35.04 | jima | fewer than* |
| 20:35.14 | keldwud | I used to be a fewer than guy myself |
| 20:35.17 | keldwud | and then I looked it up |
| 20:35.41 | keldwud | https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/495/less-vs-fewer |
| 20:36.12 | keldwud | I like clearly and concisely defined words myself |
| 20:36.21 | keldwud | and like to use specific words in specific cases to mean specific things |
| 20:36.42 | keldwud | so I still use fewer when referring to countable objects |
| 20:38.23 | jima | keldwud: if a stackexchange has any real merit on the proper use of the english language, we might as well just devolve to grunts |
| 20:38.38 | keldwud | lol |
| 20:38.41 | jima | (i may have my biases regarding stackexchange ;-) ) |
| 20:38.44 | keldwud | well it looked well sourced :) |
| 20:38.50 | keldwud | that particular answer, at least |
| 20:38.51 | jima | it's STACK EXCHANGE |
| 20:39.21 | jima | home of "don't be polite, that's clutter" |
| 20:49.25 | jima | conversely, we have 36 countries with more than 1000 employees, and 9 with more than 10,000 |
| 20:51.01 | jima | it's weird to think, since my last employer had maybe 15 |
| 20:53.35 | keldwud | looks like they're back up |
| 20:53.41 | keldwud | at coronavirus.utah.gov |
| 20:56.53 | keldwud | here it is: https://coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-will-deploy-a-single-wireless-emergency-alert-statewide-due-to-rising-case-counts/ |
| 20:57.45 | keldwud | dangit, I missed the website linked in the alert. what was it? |
| 20:57.57 | jima | https://coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-health-guidance-levels/ |
| 20:58.18 | jima | i pasted it above too |
| 21:02.34 | keldwud | oh I'm slow |
| 21:02.52 | keldwud | and ty |
| 21:04.39 | keldwud | how the hell is < 6% transmission rate low? |
| 21:04.45 | keldwud | 6% is still pandemic level |
| 21:04.58 | keldwud | are we just making things up at this point? |
| 21:05.02 | keldwud | grading covid on a curve? |
| 21:06.38 | keldwud | "Gathering safely" that's doublespeak like using the phrase "drink responsibly" instead of DON'T GATHER IN GROUPS |
| 21:07.16 | keldwud | and this: "Social gatherings of 10 or fewer are permitted" |
| 21:07.38 | keldwud | why can't it be "social gatherings of 10 or more are NOT PERMITTED" |
| 21:08.01 | keldwud | I'm starting to feel a bit angry, I'll be back when I feel less rant-y |
| 21:21.09 | jima | they're afraid utah will go all michigan on them |
| 22:04.35 | romanovic | I also don't like the first statement. It is worded as though the government is in charge of declaring what is permitted, when in fact, _all_ gatherings are permitted except in specific cases where the government has sufficient justification to forbid the gatherings. as with covid19 |
| 22:30.08 | keldwud | Why do fish live in saltwater? |
| 22:30.19 | keldwud | Because pepper makes them sneeze! |
