| MinceR | there's some way to silence a user | Aug 24 06:57 |
| MinceR | apparently on this ircd it's just +q | Aug 24 06:58 |
| MinceR | with a mask just like ban | Aug 24 06:58 |
| schestowitz | "take voice" | Aug 24 06:59 |
| schestowitz | I think I need right flag for it to work | Aug 24 06:59 |
| schestowitz | Assuming freenode supports it | Aug 24 06:59 |
| MinceR | you need to be opped to quiet a user | Aug 24 06:59 |
| schestowitz | I tried last year, it didn't take | Aug 24 07:00 |
| MinceR | ban without kick should do the same | Aug 24 07:01 |
| schestowitz | Ah, OK | Aug 24 07:08 |
| MinceR | until he parts or quits, of course :> | Aug 24 07:12 |

| schestowitz | I have a OT question | Aug 24 21:29 |
| schestowitz | I've always been taught working in the dark harms eyesight | Aug 24 21:29 |
| schestowitz | But recently I was told it's not true, that it just hurts the eyes | Aug 24 21:29 |
| schestowitz | Any answer on that one? | Aug 24 21:30 |
| MinceR | dunno, but i'm interested | Aug 24 21:30 |
| schestowitz | Evolution ought to have made us nocturnal too | Aug 24 21:30 |
| MinceR | you might end up receiving more light from the display because the overall light level is lower than with a brighter background | Aug 24 21:31 |
| MinceR | also, when for some reason (dirty glasses, tired eyes) my vision isn't as sharp as it should be, bright surfaces bleed into the surrounding darkness, which i've found to tire my visual system | Aug 24 21:32 |
| schestowitz | I heard it here; http://skeptoid.com/episode_guide.php | Aug 24 21:32 |

| schestowitz | "yes it makes your eyes strain to see, which is probably why most people get tired while watching tv, the pupil in the eye is constantly adjusting in size to the different levels of light, so it could cause eye fatigue. That is, it makes your eyes tired and could make it temporarily harder to focus. It's not likely to cause permanent damage. " | Aug 24 21:35 |
| schestowitz | That's what I heard | Aug 24 21:35 |
| MinceR | i've found the bg light useful | Aug 24 21:36 |
| schestowitz | "No it isn't. A television is a cathrode ray tube with is in effect shooting light onto pixels. Therefore when you watch tv in the dark you are basically watching a light. Having an alternate light source in the room will make no difference whatsoever to your eyes, except if that light source is reflecting off the glass TV screen which would cause a glare. If this happens then your eyes will really strain because they are | Aug 24 21:36 |
| schestowitz | trying to adjust to see the light from the CRT. So, having another light on when watching TV could actually hurt your eyes! " | Aug 24 21:36 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: to avoid aches? | Aug 24 21:36 |
| MinceR | yes | Aug 24 21:36 |
| schestowitz | Yes, me too | Aug 24 21:36 |
| schestowitz | But I'm not sure about longterm | Aug 24 21:36 |
| MinceR | i doubt it's useful to have discomfort just because it won't cause permanent damage :> | Aug 24 21:36 |
| schestowitz | Nobody argues with that short-term pain | Aug 24 21:36 |
| schestowitz | The argument is over the longterm | Aug 24 21:37 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: I need some kind of lantern-like light | Aug 24 21:37 |
| schestowitz | I put that in storage | Aug 24 21:37 |
