13:36 < rsynnott_> I love how subjective audiophiles basically just live in their own reality
13:37 < padraiq> you mean, you don't get a shaman in to bless your audio equipment once you set it up?

14:43 < rsynnott_> if I get around to learning to drive this year, and then Google introduce working self-driving cars next year, I will be SO pissed off

17:31 < rsynnott> Channel 4; your one-stop-shop for documentaries that are actually thinly-veiled freakshows

                  Texas got $35k; both dropped out of suing Trump University
