They are quite good. 00:15:18 monqy: sure? there are fireworks visible from where I live 00:15:19 monqy, and yet gun control??? im politic 00:15:22 well, not sure 00:15:24 from where I am currently 00:15:35 I don't actually live here, maybe they're visible from where I am too 00:15:41 monqy, where I am, illegality of fireworks does not stop usage of fireworks. 00:15:46 on Guy Fawkes Day, some people set off a firework from the pavement 00:15:49 I'm reasonably sure /that's/ illegal 00:15:55 I was a few metres away at the time, so I ran 00:15:57 monqy: sure? there are fireworks visible from where I live 00:15:59 ais523: in America? 00:15:59 as I wasn't sure how good their aim was 00:16:03 I think fireworks are illegal in Ireland for obvious reasons. 00:16:05 elliott: oh, monqy's American? 00:16:09 I thought he was British for some reason 00:16:25 but I wouldn't expect fireworks to be illegal in a land of republicans 00:16:31 Good thing America isn't that, then. 00:16:35 nor would I expect democrats to try to ban them 00:16:39 too much fallout for too little gain 00:16:42 Do you mean rd or RD? 00:16:53 err, do I mean either? 00:16:56 I'm not sure what either manes 00:17:00 Phantom_Hoover, what are the obvious reasons? 00:17:01 Republicans and democrats or Republicans and Democrats? 00:17:06 They're vastly different things. 00:17:17 oh, rD in that situation 00:17:27 Vorpal, do you know, like, anything about Irish history in the second half of the 20th century? 00:17:32 Specifically, Northern Irish? 00:17:33 My state apparently bans all consumer fireworks. 00:17:36 ais523: The obvious answer is that the Republicans would ban them, then... 00:17:37 Phantom_Hoover, oh right that 00:17:40 Phantom_Hoover, yeah makes sense 00:17:46 I have seen home Fireworks every year (more often) 00:17:48 Phantom_Hoover, not sure it makes sense for the entire island though 00:17:49 Phantom_Hoover: (Vorpal just googled it.) 00:17:56 elliott, no I didn't 00:17:56 elliott: why? they normally wouldn't offend their core voters for no good reason at all 00:18:04 Vorpal, Ireland has two nations on them. 00:18:09 Phantom_Hoover, indeed 00:18:09 they probably would if given large enough political donations 00:18:12 *on it 00:18:14 but nobody really has an incentive to do that either 00:18:19 Phantom_Hoover, I assume you mean the nation Ireland 00:18:20 ais523: I don't see why that would offend their core voters. 00:18:29 Phantom_Hoover, no? 00:18:35 I mean in both. 00:18:38 elliott: banning fireworks? 00:18:44 Phantom_Hoover, well that doesn't make much sense to me. 00:18:52 imagine you're ESR and you find out that the government is banning fireworks, what's your reaction? 00:18:53 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_fireworks#United_States, anyway. 00:19:02 ais523: Hahahaha, you think ESR is the typical Republican supporter? 00:19:13 no, I think he's an extreme version of a subset of Republican supporters 00:19:15 ESR is strongly libertarian, the Republican party is nothing of the sort. 00:19:19 "In the Republic of Ireland, the law on fireworks is governed by Part 6 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006. Generally, fireworks are illegal. Private fireworks displays are allowed on two conditions; the fireworks must be licensed for import and a professional fireworks operator must be used." 00:19:21 do you think there's any chance he votes Democrat? 00:19:36 (he may well vote third party, I guess) 00:19:40 No, but that's quite irrelevant; Republicans aren't, as a general rule, libertarian. 00:19:47 anyway, in practice, libertarians normally vote republican 00:20:01 and it's not like the majority of actual republicans would care either way about fireworks 00:21:25 Upon further consultation, my mother isn't actually sure whether fireworks are banned in NI, although she's never seen them on sale. 00:22:05 http://www.nio.gov.uk/the_law_on_fireworks.pdf 00:22:35 Everything other than indoor fireworks is banned. 00:22:42 *requires a licence 00:22:45 why do you think your mother would know whether fireworks are banned in northern island? 00:23:05 Indoor... fireworks? 00:23:34 elliott: not much different to indoor skiing, surely? 00:23:35 fireplaces, arson 00:23:36 ais523, because she is from it, also insists on dragging me there every available opportunity?? 00:23:41 ah, I see 00:23:50 northern ireland is quite a way to drag someone from scotland 00:23:50 (this also applies to my father, my parents are awful) 00:23:57 my kneeees 00:24:01 Phantom_Hoover: your parents are both northern-irish? 00:24:08 Yes. 00:24:17 hahahahaha, lkml.org has google +1 buttons 00:24:18 so why are you Scottish? 00:24:20 on every message 00:24:26 ais523: no true scotsman! 00:24:56 ais523, because I was born there and I have lived there all my life? 00:25:02 Phantom_Hoover: hmm 00:25:14 so what would possess northern-irish parents to have a scottish child? 00:25:23 X-D 00:25:30 Phantom_Hoover: WHY ARE YOU SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT 00:25:50 Mum, dad....

Maybe in some client you can use CTRL+V for that, though, maybe some others support CTRL+P as well. 01:47:56 /notice is not a CTCP command 01:48:00 it's an irc NOTICE command 01:48:13
