[01:13] Wol Euler: hello cala
[01:14] cala Lacrima: hI,woi
[01:15] cala Lacrima: i will go.nice to meet you ,bye wol
[01:16] Wol Euler: bye, takec care
[01:17] Qt Core: hi Wol
[01:18] Wol Euler: good morning, qt
[01:18] Wol Euler: how are you today?

[01:19] Qt Core: debating if putting my nose outside in the cold ;-)
[01:19] Qt Core: you ?
[01:20] Wol Euler: just got out of bed, no breakfast, no coffee :)
[01:23] Wol Euler: otherwise fine

[01:25] Qt Core: i really should try at least once to drink coffee, but even if it my be childish i fear to lose one of my most peculiar trait, being italian and not drinking coffee (or i may discover that i like it and wasted say 30 years not drinking it)
[01:27] Wol Euler laughs.

[01:27] Wol Euler: that sounds like a lose/lose situation :) Continue to resist.
[01:27] Qt Core: attachment to the image of myself i think people have... that's nasty stuff
[01:27] Wol Euler nods.
[01:27] Wol Euler: very common, though
[01:28] Wol Euler: I think we all have that to some extent

[01:29] Wol Euler: and in my opinion, doing something only because others don't expect it of you is JUST as foolish as doing only what you think they expect
[01:29] Qt Core: (i was trying to put that same idea in english and failing)
[01:29] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:29] Wol Euler: I could not possibly have expressed that in Italian :)
[01:32] Qt Core: :)

[01:33] Wol Euler: it amuses me that non-English speakers always apologise for their poor English (whether or not it IS poor)
[01:33] Wol Euler: but it never occurs to an English speaker to apologise for not speaking the other person's language
[01:33] Qt Core: that's different as they are not even trying ;-)
[01:34] Wol Euler: my point!
[01:34] Wol Euler: they SHOULD apologise for not trying

[01:34] Qt Core: damn language supremacist ;-) but they'll learn with chinese in a few decades
[01:36] Wol Euler smiles.

[01:38] Wol Euler: how's your car?
[01:38] Qt Core: i can't have it checked before monday morning
[01:39] Wol Euler: oh right, sorry, I forgot that aspect
[01:39] Qt Core: np
[01:39] Wol Euler: weekend at home, then?
[01:40] Qt Core: well i would have used it only for grocery shopping at the mall, i'll go to the smaller nearer shop by feet (if they are open as today is festive)
[01:41] Wol Euler nods.
[01:42] Wol Euler: oh, I hope it isn't a holiday here too, or I'll be in trouble
[01:42] Wol Euler: I have just enough milk for the coffee that is now ready.
[01:43] Wol Euler: no, calendar says it isn't a holiday. good :)

[01:44] Qt Core: a few months ago a shop with no door made only by vending machine opened here and it sell (beside the usual vending machine stuff) milk, yogurt and cheese
[01:46] Qt Core: haven't tried yet its dairy products, the idea feel a little weird
[01:48] Wol Euler: indeed
[01:48] Wol Euler: I'd be a bit cautious too, how old is that stuff?
[01:48] Wol Euler: is it positioned so you can see the expiry date?

[01:49] Qt Core: it something that make me think about changing times/approach
[01:49] Wol Euler: (it doesn't need to be a problem, Japan is full of vending machines selling just about everything)
[01:49] Qt Core: don't know

[01:50] Qt Core: that remind me of this: http://xkcd.com/1093/
[01:51] Qt Core: it's both sad, funny and deep
[01:53] Wol Euler chuckles.
[01:53] Wol Euler: did you read the mouseover comment too?
[01:54] Qt Core: those are usually the best part of xkcd
[01:54] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:56] Qt Core: i love the new What if section of xkcd, even crazier than the strips
[01:57] Wol Euler: oh yes, that is amazing.
[01:58] Wol Euler: particularly how he not only answers the question asked, but then goes on to say what the really important question should have been
[01:59] Qt Core: and absurd the answer become in relation to the original question
[01:59] Qt Core: and how*
[02:05] Qt Core: time to go making something other would call productive ;-)
[02:05] Wol Euler smiles.
[02:05] Wol Euler: enjoy the weekend, qt
[02:05] Qt Core: i'll try and you too
[02:06] Wol Euler: thank you
