[23:33:47] -!- Snow has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[23:33:37] <charon> take care snow
[23:33:24] <Snow> Well, Charon, I'm heading home for the night. Maybe I'll see you on here tomorrow. g'night
[23:32:18] <Snow> haha, I should have :)
[23:32:07] <charon> well why didn't you write it that way, submitter?
[23:31:49] <charon> yeah, that works better
[23:31:29] <Snow> potential privacy threat to users of currency...
[23:31:25] <charon> but couldn't come up with anything better
[23:31:15] <charon> i know, it does to me also.
[23:31:04] <Snow> to me
[23:31:03] <Snow> "the privacy of users of" seems klunky
[23:30:10] <charon> lol
[23:30:04] * Snow has high school flashbacks
[23:29:52] <Snow> not again
[23:29:45] * charon stamps REJECTED on Snow's forehead
[23:29:29] <Snow> I'll try not to go crazy though :)
[23:29:06] <Snow> You'll see a lot more of it here if I have anything to do with it!
[23:28:33] <charon> i know next to nothing about bitcoin. i guess i've picked up a thing or two over time, but no direct experience
[23:26:55] <Snow> Oh, good call!
[23:26:37] <charon> yah. also tweaked the americanbanker link to be the "everything on one page" link
[23:25:52] <Snow> I think it was a good idea to clarify that coinbase was though
[23:24:59] <charon> i can clarify that then
[23:24:48] <Snow> It's not really a threat to coinbase, but rather to any customer's privacy that happened to use coinbase
[23:24:47] <charon> yep. looks good, i just added a clarification of what coinbase is, since i had no idea
[23:24:14] <Snow> Hey Charon, I see you picked up my coinbase story
[23:23:04] <charon> usually fnord666 has 3 or 4 ghosts hanging around, now none...

[21:01:02] <Snow> c ya!
[20:58:41] -!- charon has quit [Quit: lunch time]
[20:58:37] <charon> catch you later, snow
[20:52:59] <charon> lol
[20:52:00] <Snow> But they are so low to the ground and have bendable bones!
[20:49:23] <charon> yep. the kids would be happy to go, but the school is worried about kids slipping on the sidewalks
[20:41:51] <Snow> It's too bad, those days were the funnest to be at school... Making snow slides and forts and rolling huge snowballs with a dozen kids pushing it was a lot of fun.
[20:27:58] <charon> the school district around here is overly cautious. they have closed schools over just a few inches, (~10 cm). very crappy for parents who have to rearrange work schedules
[20:24:02] <charon> hah
[20:23:35] <Snow> she did a great job, but the kids ran the house
[20:23:16] <Snow> My mom was a single mom with 4 kids...
[20:22:42] <charon> as a kid? i bet your parent's weren't so happy
[20:22:17] <Snow> I remember building a huge pile up and then jumping off the roof into it
[20:21:47] <Snow> we got just under a meter overnight
[20:21:26] <Snow> There has only been one day I can ever remember that actually brought enough snow to close schools
[20:21:03] <Snow> I'd love something like that
[20:20:41] <Snow> I remember that!
[20:20:17] <charon> two years ago we got a ridiculous amount of snow in a short time. something like 120" over 4 weeks. i'm still gun-shy from that
[20:19:09] <Snow> The ski hills were promising an epic snow year, but so far that hasn't panned out.
[20:18:33] <Snow> I think we miht get some next week. It's supposed to cool down to -17ish at night, and usually when there is a big drop in temperatures it pulls some snow out of the air
[20:18:20] <charon> that's a bit disappointing then. got all dressed up and nowhere to go
[20:17:52] <charon> none here yet either.
[20:17:44] <Snow> I spent $800 on new snow tires, so I'm a little peeved that I haven't been able to use them
[20:17:18] <Snow> We had one day with a skiff of snow, but it was gone in a couple hours.
[20:16:59] <Snow> I'm super dissapointed
[20:16:53] <Snow> ... no :(
[20:16:35] <charon> is there snow up there yet?
[20:10:54] <Snow> Ahh, cool. I just like to imagine where the poeple I am talking to actually live.
[20:08:14] <charon> not actually from here, but i have lived here around 9 years now
[20:07:55] <charon> i'm in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, US
[20:02:38] <Snow> Charon, where are you from? I'm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
[20:00:38] <charon> darn, i just missed him. had a flurry of customers at work
[19:59:52] -!- janrinok has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[19:59:22] <janrinok> night Snow
[19:59:14] <Snow> good night!
[19:59:13] * exec faithfully runs the Installshield Wizard to set up a cloud of dollar-store ice cream for #editorial
[19:59:11] <janrinok> ~gnight #editorial
[19:59:01] <janrinok> ~gbye #editorial
[19:58:51] <janrinok> well, it's time for me to be on my way again. See you guys tomorrow.
[19:56:53] <janrinok> charon's gone quiet - perhaps he is surrounded by chicks wanting to give him a birthday kiss
[19:55:36] <janrinok> I can never remember where the various option settings are - I have to go searching every time I want to change something
[19:55:16] <Snow> It's all good now. I'll never have to worry about that again. Nope. Never.
[19:54:25] <Snow> I've got it added at work, but I've been manually allowing at home. I'll get around to adding it one day... It's just the temp allow option is so ingrained in my muscle memory.
[19:53:41] <janrinok> SN has an exemption in my NoScript - I need it for editing etc
[19:53:15] <Snow> I usually run noscript at home, so maybe that was screwing with things.
[19:53:05] <janrinok> week 1, day 1 as I recall ....
[19:52:46] <janrinok> well, when did they appear?
[19:52:18] <Snow> There are TABS in the preferences section. Imagine that...
[19:51:54] <janrinok> homepage
[19:51:19] <Snow> oh, got it
[19:50:38] <Snow> IRC works fine
[19:50:37] <janrinok> it's in your preferences somewhere
[19:50:21] <Snow> like on the stories list
[19:50:12] <janrinok> er where? on IRC? on the editing pages?
[19:50:07] <Snow> I don't see a timezone section in my prefs
[19:49:49] <Snow> How do you change your timezone settings so that all the times are displayed in my local time?
[19:49:22] <janrinok> charon - at least I didn't ping all staff....
[19:45:57] <janrinok> young whipper snappers
[19:45:47] <janrinok> I don't think I can remember being 42 ....
[19:44:31] <janrinok> lol o<
[19:44:29] <Snow> Yea, well, I can keep a secret. It's all good.
[19:43:57] <charon> thought i was talking to my buddy janrinok. turns out it was a freaking megaphone
[19:42:50] <janrinok> but Snow, please keep it quiet, he doesn't want anyone to know, OK?
[19:42:22] <janrinok> some people just can't be trusted I suppose ...
[19:42:17] <charon> 42. i am now the answer to the question of life the universe and everything
[19:41:49] <charon> oh ffs
[19:41:42] <janrinok> lol
[19:41:39] <Snow> HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARON!!! How old?
[19:41:19] <janrinok> ah, damn, that wasn't meant to happen
[19:41:18] <charon> i hate you forever
[19:41:10] <exec> editor ping for janrinok (reason: charon's birthday): janrinok zz_janrinok n1 nick martyb Bytram cmn32480 coolhand takyon bytram|away Fnord666 charon GreatOutdoors FatPhil Snow goodie mrpg
[19:41:09] <janrinok> ~eds charon's birthday
[19:40:57] <janrinok> nobody will notice 1 line in a page of IRC chat - trust me
[19:40:39] <charon> yeah. i knew i had compounded my mistake as soon as i hit enter
[19:40:02] <janrinok> HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CHARON, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU - trust me, I can keep a secret
[19:34:58] <charon> hah. i made the mistake of telling my co-worker that today is my birthday. now he's on the intercom telling the whole store. bastard
[19:03:22] <janrinok> she therefore refrains for ever making public statements regarding her own preferences and desires - the people's will - through their elected MPs - is supposed to be paramount.
[19:02:00] <janrinok> effectively yes, but there are historical and legal niceties that would have to be followed. If she interfered directly in the work of the government it could lead to the end of the monarchy and the creation of a Republic.
[19:00:17] <charon> i have read up a bit on the british system before. i seem to recall that the queen can veto but more or less once ever because she'd be stripped of that privilege if she ever exercised it
[18:57:06] <janrinok> they are much more related to political appointments than hereditary peerages
[18:56:23] <janrinok> The House of Commons (from Commoners) represents the general public, and the House Of Lords the 'ruling class' but that is an historical division which provides checks and balances
[18:55:12] <janrinok> but that is a procedural thing - she actually has very little say in what parliament approves
[18:54:46] <charon> to the wikipedia-mobile!
[18:54:37] <janrinok> In the UK, the Queen 'invites' the leader of the winning party after a general election to form 'her' government.
[18:54:32] <charon> fair enough
[18:53:50] <janrinok> But the leader of one of the main parties will get elected to the post of president. The link between him and his government - which will have the majority in the relevant politcal houses - is not something that I can explain.
[18:52:45] <charon> heh, just curious, because i know britain does not have a president
[18:52:21] <janrinok> Ah, you are getting into the niceties of French politics, which is not my strong point - particularly as I am a Brit...
[18:51:33] <janrinok> to us, social welfare and decent health care are what everyone should be entitled to. We are horrified that people who cannot afford something cannot have treatment.
[18:51:19] <charon> so is a president independent of the parliament and prime minister?
[18:49:45] <charon> yeah. it would be funny if it weren't so painful
[18:49:05] <janrinok> not to European eyes at any rate
[18:48:23] <janrinok> yeah, we laugh a lot when you call one of your candidates left wing or, even worse, a COMMUNIST! You haven't seen a communist in your history
[18:47:23] <charon> the BBC thumbnail biography makes him seem alright. he's farther left than either candidate in the US election
[18:47:20] <janrinok> compared with US parties though you would call them both left wing. To us Europeans, they are just either side of centre
[18:46:23] <janrinok> the centre left are currently in power but not making a brilliant job of things. Not sure that the next guy will do any better though
[18:42:38] <janrinok> don't know, but he is highly likely to win the presidential vote next year. He is centre right but not off-the-wall sort of right wing
[18:41:45] <charon> did you get a crazy bastard too?
[18:40:19] <janrinok> nah, some other guy just got elected for that 2 days ago
[18:39:56] <charon> you're in charge of France, get moving
[18:39:33] <janrinok> And I hardly see what our 6500 members will do that will make a difference to a nationwide day of action
[18:39:02] <charon> i'd read an aftermath report of how it went.
[18:38:44] <janrinok> I was just going to say roughly the same thing - the story isn't one I personally would even bother with.
[18:38:09] <charon> yeah. we're not a call to action type of site.
[18:36:50] <janrinok> if it is time critical he should say so - that doesn't make it breaking news. Breaking news sounds alarms on people's smart phones, BN disrupts people in meetings, etc
[18:35:59] <janrinok> but it is too easy for us to not notice that and push it through without changing it. There are lots of clues, but if you are not concentrating (e.g. middle of the night) you can miss it
[18:35:29] <charon> but but... it's a protest for today. it must be breaking news
[18:34:56] <janrinok> changed it to normal
[18:34:47] <charon> oh? did you delete it? or change it to normal?
[18:33:35] <janrinok> and OriginalOwner_ just tried to push another of his stories through as 'Breaking News'
[18:33:01] <charon> heheh
[18:32:51] <janrinok> he prolly answers to ni now as well
[18:32:08] <charon> about half the time i type n1, i start off making it ni and have to delete
[18:31:31] <charon> hah
[18:31:16] <janrinok> that should have been a ! not a 1
[18:31:08] <charon> i may be able to formulate my thoughts better later
[18:31:05] <janrinok> bon appetit1
[18:30:53] <charon> cheers, snow
[18:30:20] <Snow> I'm off for lunch though. I'll be back in an hour.
[18:30:11] <Snow> charon: I'm not sure what you mean...
[18:29:39] <charon> at least at first, when the default time is what? now() + 15 min?
[18:29:09] <charon> the sidebar story queue shows the stories around the release time you set. so if the queue is full, the sidebar won't show the next opening, it shows a sea of green stories
[18:28:58] <Snow> There, now it's after the first time RMG appears
[18:28:15] <Snow> sec
[18:28:14] <Snow> RMG definition in wrong place
[18:28:07] <Snow> oops RM
[18:27:54] <janrinok> OK, lol, I'll 2nd it
[18:27:44] <janrinok> oooh, hesitation, ....
[18:27:32] <Snow> I think I'm done, unless you see any other problems
[18:26:50] <janrinok> do you want me to 2nd it yet, or would you rather continue it?
[18:26:25] <Snow> I've updated it.
[18:26:23] <Snow> haha. I noticed that RMG had no definition and then I forgot about it....
[18:23:04] <janrinok> I've made that mistake so many times I now know what I should be looking for - although I still make the same mistake from time to time
[18:22:21] <Snow> you are on the ball :P
[18:22:18] <Snow> , surprised anyone noticed
[18:22:11] <Snow> I cought it right away
[18:22:08] <janrinok> did you define 'RMG' - it was the only thing that had me guessing
[18:22:00] <Snow> ya, sorry, forgot to update the time :/
[18:21:42] <janrinok> lol - we were just watching your story move around
[18:21:31] <Snow> I'm here now
[18:21:29] <Snow> yo
[18:19:54] <janrinok> well, at least he has rescheduled it to a better time
[18:19:05] <janrinok> Snow, are you on here?
[18:18:04] <janrinok> see, it gets easier as time goes by :)
[18:17:46] <charon> i just realized: i knew at a glance what that color meant.
[18:17:25] <janrinok> well, he also left it in the middle of a bunch of correctly spaced stories
[18:17:01] <janrinok> he's still working on it I think
[18:16:49] <charon> non-display? dunno. maybe he was going to come back to it later but wanted to save his editing progress?
[18:15:15] <janrinok> I wonder why Snow left that particular story where he did?
[18:14:56] <charon> ayep. very slow day today, had 1 customer over the past hour
[18:14:28] <charon> rest is good. rest with a beer is even better
[18:14:22] <janrinok> are you at work?
[18:14:09] <charon> no worries. real life always takes priority
[18:11:58] <janrinok> sry charon, I had to do my nursing bit. I'm OK, but it's early evening here so I am just beginning to rest after a fairly busy day

[17:46:38] <charon> nothing to see. we certainly didn't spend the last few days making fun of you
[17:45:27] <janrinok> yes, but not znc yet, so no backreading

[05:43:36] <charon> that Just Foloowing Orders submission is great. we should encourage that sort of writing

[03:32:08] <cmn32480> you can put anythign in the submission box...
[03:31:59] <cmn32480> nah
[03:31:38] <Bytram> his stories are submitted by "Anonymous Coward", so that is what we'd give as attribution.
[03:31:07] <Bytram> do what, allow posting with a pseudo anonymous nick?
[03:30:39] <cmn32480> if we do it for him, we ahve to do it for all

[03:17:14] <Bytram> nah, of my own choosing... last year I lasted until 6:30pm

[03:09:35] <Bytram> =)
[03:09:33] <Bytram> that worked out to nearly 24 hours' pay for one day.
[03:09:21] <Bytram> and was paid an additional 8 hours holiday pay for working on black friday on top of it...
[03:08:55] <Bytram> also, since I was paid time and a half for the whole shift...
[03:08:51] <Fnord666> :-)
[03:08:37] <Bytram> had a *very* productive day and am glad I volunteered.
[03:08:04] <Bytram> well, complaining about it is akin to winning the division championship and then complaining that you have to play *another* game!?!!
[03:07:50] <Fnord666> You were on Friday morning too, right?
[03:07:14] <Fnord666> That's a bit rough on anyone
[03:05:40] <Bytram> just realized I was, effectively, dealing with jet lag after working the opening shift on black friday... was at work at 11PM thanksgiving night
[03:05:01] <Bytram> a bit tired, but well, thanks.

[02:16:43] <cmn32480> i do
[02:15:59] <n1_> i dont usually weigh my beer
[02:14:25] <cmn32480> different from heavy beer
[02:14:11] <cmn32480> yes
[02:14:11] <n1_> i don't actually understand what the 'lite' beer is supposed to be
[02:13:48] <chromas> Do diet beers use sucralose?
[02:13:46] <n1_> but it's not bad
[02:13:37] <n1_> the beer i have isn't good either to be honest, it's the cheapest local beer
[02:13:25] <n1_> yeah, for sure
[02:12:48] <cmn32480> but dear God... after hours on the road... it tasted WONDERFUL
[02:12:29] <n1_> you're damn right it's not
[02:12:21] <cmn32480> Miller Lite isn't good beer
[02:12:07] <cmn32480> and super cold...
[02:11:54] <cmn32480> but it was cold, sudsy, wet and amber
[02:11:45] <cmn32480> nope
[02:11:27] <n1_> good beer?
[02:11:01] <cmn32480> cmn32480 has been beering cmn32480

[01:07:01] <n1_> looks like it will be steak for breakfast too
[01:06:45] <n1_> steak demolished
[00:56:38] <Fnord666> enjoy!
[00:53:14] <n1_> considering i didnt cook this steak too good, it's actually pretty good
[00:48:31] <Fnord666> That sounds delicious.
[00:47:47] <n1_> and usually comes with a hard boiled egg in it
[00:47:35] <n1_> its similar to tikka masala but less creamy, more spicy and has minced/ground lamb in it as well as chunks of chicken
[00:46:56] <Fnord666> I have not heard of that one.
[00:46:40] <n1_> but its not that common
[00:46:34] <n1_> murgh masala is what i usually look out for
[00:46:11] <Fnord666> I do like chicken tikka masala
[00:42:45] <exec> └─ 13Tandoori masala - Wikipedia
[00:42:43] <n1_> https://en.wikipedia.org
[00:42:09] <n1_> i don't really have a favourite, but the 'tikka' spices are probably my most familiar base
[00:37:30] <Fnord666> like saying more better.
[00:37:17] <Fnord666> most favorite? :-(
[00:36:52] <Fnord666> What would be your most favorite if you had to pick one?
[00:36:37] <Fnord666> So what classifies as a "good curry"?
[00:35:36] <n1_> and being british or whatever, i live up to the stereotype and really enjoy a good curry, which is why it pains me to admit i'm not a huge fan of the thai variants
[00:34:39] <Fnord666> It definitely has its own flavor "profile" and the coconut milk puts some people off as well.
[00:33:28] <n1_> there's plenty to enjoy, but the typical mix of flavours in the curries and stir-fry dishes are not my favourite
[00:33:07] <Fnord666> The whole family seems to like it so it goes into the rotation from time to time.
[00:31:04] <n1_> Fnord666, thai food is not my thing, and it really pains me to admit that, some of it is really good though
[00:30:37] <GreatOutdoors> Note to self...no brats after dental work
[00:30:13] <Fnord666> ouch
[00:29:16] <n1_> :(
[00:29:09] <GreatOutdoors> Thats gonna hurt tomorrow..
[00:28:48] <GreatOutdoors> Brats was a bad idea... just bit my cheek... didnt feeel it, but I taste the blood...
[00:28:25] <Fnord666> That sounds delicious too. Made some pad thai earlier for dinner
[00:27:38] * n1_ is going to be cooking steak shortly
[00:26:31] <GreatOutdoors> nah, just grill em
[00:26:24] <Fnord666> GreatOutdoors do you prepare yours in beer?
[00:26:11] <GreatOutdoors> lol
[00:26:11] <Fnord666> yup
[00:26:06] <n1_> damn 'mericans
[00:26:00] <n1_> "Bratwurst, often shortened to "brat" in American English"
[00:25:16] <Fnord666> Often served with sauerkraut and/or potato salad.
[00:25:15] <n1_> that was my first thought, but never heard it shortened like that

[00:24:26] <Fnord666> https://en.wikipedia.org
[00:24:24] <Fnord666> presumably bratwurst.
[00:24:23] <GreatOutdoors> Bratwurst. Similar to polish sausage.
[00:23:23] <n1_> what is this 'brats'?
[00:22:52] <GreatOutdoors> Hope so. These are new ones..
[00:20:47] <Fnord666> Tasty
[00:19:59] <GreatOutdoors> Nope.. Brats.
[00:19:33] <Fnord666> Hopefully you're not having soup.
[00:16:24] <GreatOutdoors> I am good overall, just got hom from the dentist and half my face is numb... should make it interesting to try to eat dinner now.
[00:12:38] <Fnord666> Thank you.
[00:11:53] <n1_> Fnord666, it look good, i have 2nd ed the story.
[00:06:10] <Fnord666> How is GreatOutdoors doing this Monday?
[00:05:24] <Fnord666> n1_ Would you take a look at what I did please?
