| 00:06.28 | mth | but indeed very niche |

| 02:16.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, just those projects that need maximum reliability and ideally methods to verify correctness of code |
| 02:17.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | though I think the latter probably is still impossible |

| 08:00.31 | kyak | wpwrak: what's that "attack" you've mentioned? |
| 08:01.04 | kyak | can't seem to find any information about this |

| 11:49.24 | wpwrak | kyak: that was a real gnat :) the insect, mosquito. they're supposed to be nocturnal, and let you in peace during the day. but this one was evidently exploring a new lifestyle. |
| 12:20.09 | larsc | they are evolving! |
| 12:28.09 | wpwrak | they are. they're getter damn good at hiding. a few years ago, i could just turn on the light and they'd just freeze in place. dark spots on a white wall. now they hide in crevices. |
| 12:29.24 | wpwrak | i've already given up on hunting them down individually, and just gas the entire bedroom. of course that means that i'll have to sit on the computer for a while, waiting for the air there to become breathable again ... |
| 12:32.37 | larsc | that's what you get for killing only those that are bad at hiding in the first place |
| 13:16.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | well, tbh I've been biten by gnats at daytime several times already. And the by far worst gnat attack (literally a cloud to darken the sky) was in south of France next to a small runnel, during early dawn, while the night we slept relatively calm. Werner and me both same moment woke up and ran screaming, pulling our sleeping bags behind us |
| 13:18.21 | DocScrutinizer05 | the bites are still visible on both sides of my neck |
| 13:18.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | after almost 40 years |

| 13:23.49 | wpwrak | larsc: yeah. i hope they'll appreciate my new non-discriminatory approach :) |
| 13:25.17 | wpwrak | DocScrutinizer05: were you camping near a bioweapons research facility with lax containment practices ? :) |
| 13:25.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | no idea :-) |
| 13:25.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | the French, you know |
| 13:26.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | was near Aix-en-Provence |
| 13:27.25 | wpwrak | maybe that's where they breed the Le Pens, and there was some cross-species contamination |
| 13:28.09 | DocScrutinizer05 | or maybe Arles |
| 13:28.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | Carmargue known to breed gnats |
| 13:29.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | I guess they had a weekend trip to next town |
| 13:31.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | for whatever reason we planned to visit Saintes Maries de la Mer, but we found no way to arrive there alive ;-P |
| 13:33.43 | wpwrak | on your next trip, you went to somalia, to relax from all the stress :) |
| 13:36.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | hehe |
