[05:53:35] <charon> ~gnight Fnord666
[05:53:23] <Fnord666> talk to you tomorrow
[05:53:19] <Fnord666> It is once again that time of the morning. Good night charon.
[05:20:44] <charon> i know, he looks unrecognizable
[05:19:32] <Fnord666> http://www.vulture.com
[05:19:30] <Fnord666> I've never seen Letterman with a beard.
[05:13:35] <Fnord666> hmm. working fine now. ok then
[05:12:56] <Fnord666> yeah, worked on chrome
[05:12:29] <charon> fine here

[05:11:11] <Fnord666> ~blame
[05:11:03] <charon> i blame TMB
[05:10:51] <Fnord666> "Internal Server Error"
[05:10:48] <Fnord666> tried to load a submission
[05:10:41] <Fnord666> oops
[05:09:44] <Fnord666> just the way I like them
[05:09:24] <charon> like groaning from mental pain good
[05:09:19] <Fnord666> ah ok.
[05:09:09] <charon> i mean bad as in good
[05:09:06] <Fnord666> solder - insolvency?
[05:08:54] <Fnord666> didn't like that?
[05:08:43] <charon> something about insoldervency
[05:08:18] <Fnord666> department?
[05:07:18] <charon> the radio shack department is so bad...
[05:05:32] <charon> it was no an OO production
[05:04:55] <Fnord666> I think I know the one
[05:02:29] <charon> eventually someone else posted it with no edits, but at least my name wasn't on it
[05:02:00] <charon> i won't say the poster's name, but i have just ignored a sub for a loooong time because it was written so badly
[05:00:53] <Fnord666> Do we rewrite or just reject a hypothetical story as being written by an illiterate 5th grader.
[05:00:37] <charon> i admit, his own comment in that thread makes me feel warmly towards him
[05:00:12] <Fnord666> I'm never too sure how much we should meddle, even if it's a mess.
[04:59:49] <charon> it probably stands fine without that line
[04:59:42] <Fnord666> yeah, that was my hesitation as well.
[04:58:56] <charon> i try not to mess with people's written copy except for clarity. but i see your point, i was waffling too.
[04:58:14] <Fnord666> not big on even giving the comment any visibility
[04:57:23] <Fnord666> i was going to say that i wasn't sure about keeping the first line in the Big Hack story
[04:55:56] <charon> that must be it
[04:55:46] <charon> heheh
[04:55:43] <Fnord666> cmn must be back
[04:55:29] <Fnord666> no snow in our forcast intil SAt
[04:55:28] <charon> weird. no, but it's been really cold the last few days
[04:55:09] <Fnord666> is it snowing there?
[04:54:58] <Fnord666> nope. 56 F here
[04:54:29] <Fnord666> I wasn't sure on the not that I know uf.
[04:54:14] <charon> is it still snowing by you?
[04:51:40] <Fnord666> lol
[04:51:32] <charon> yep, pretty ok. had a nice evening with the kids. i impressed them by knowing things grownups aren't supposed to know about
[04:50:50] <Fnord666> i am. thanks for asking. yourself? HAve a good day off?
[04:50:03] <charon> doing alright?
[04:49:49] <charon> hiyo fnord
[04:49:38] <Fnord666> howdy charon
[04:22:20] <cmn32480> I think so
[04:22:14] <charon> ... i win?
[04:21:58] * exec whole-heartedly crossbreeds yo mama's asscrack of buttered toast with cmn32480
[04:21:57] * exec deliciously imagines a photograph of chicken fingers with charon
[04:21:56] <charon> ~gnight cmn32480
[04:21:55] <cmn32480> ~gnight charon
[04:21:50] <cmn32480> get some rest charon
[04:21:48] <charon> ok, sleep well
[04:21:44] <cmn32480> time for bed
[04:21:40] <cmn32480> I'm done... can't keep my eyes open any more
[04:21:11] <cmn32480> yeah
[04:20:22] <charon> yea. i see it as a kind of sacrifice to keep it all focused there
[04:19:01] <cmn32480> as long as we keep it to 1 or so per day I think we can keep politics from overwhelming the rest of it
[04:17:58] <charon> maybe. i don't see it, but he has far more experience to judge than i do
[04:17:27] <cmn32480> so it is as bad as we feared
[04:15:50] <charon> but some days i don't even do one. i only put one out if it's marginally sane and looks like it could potentially be a fruitful discussion
[04:15:08] <charon> JR thinks there are more pol subs than usual, perhaps people trying to get to be the sub of the say
[04:14:49] <cmn32480> that is a plus at least
[04:14:21] <charon> yeah, a whole lot of name-calling. but it's not spilliing out elsewhere
[04:13:55] <cmn32480> is it as bad as I feared it would be?
[04:13:33] <charon> so far my guesses on which would be the worst/best politics sub-of-the-day have been pretty good, so the crap is contained
[04:13:17] * cmn32480 is not ashamed to say he didn't even look in knowing the site was in mostly capable hands
[04:12:44] <charon> i deleted a bunch, and we were down to 5 in the sub queue at one point
[04:12:16] <charon> you're welcome
[04:12:09] <cmn32480> thank you
[04:12:06] <cmn32480> I saw that too
[04:11:59] <cmn32480> you coild have emailed my SN.com acct
[04:11:57] <charon> it actually got a little hairy, because really only me and fnord were putting out stories
[04:11:47] <cmn32480> that I woudl believe
[04:10:52] <charon> a little bit. but we missed exec more
[04:10:37] <cmn32480> shoudl I assume that y'all didn't mioss me?
[04:07:28] <cmn32480> inorite? wtf?
[04:06:16] <charon> some places actually get weather in winter time
[04:05:59] <cmn32480> -19C
[04:05:55] <cmn32480> Saturday was -9F
[04:05:52] <charon> hehe
[04:05:48] <cmn32480> actually.. it was fuck all cold
[04:05:38] <cmn32480> it was cool
[04:05:02] <cmn32480> no whip... but I did get to drive the sled adn control the brakes
[04:04:39] <charon> so you don't get to hold the whip and say HYA!
[04:03:42] <cmn32480> and the dogs all follow him
[04:03:35] <cmn32480> one guide leads
[04:03:08] <cmn32480> 2 with guides
[04:03:05] <cmn32480> 4 other sleds in the group
[04:03:00] <cmn32480> team of 6 dogs for me and the wife
[04:02:52] <cmn32480> there are companies that take you out
[04:02:44] <cmn32480> yeah
[04:02:21] <charon> obviously the dogs did not turn back and maul you, so it must be safe
[04:01:58] <charon> i had never heard you could do that.
[04:00:34] <cmn32480> certainly different
[03:59:41] <cmn32480> and not really tremendously expensive either
[03:59:20] <charon> really? that does sound cool
[03:59:07] <cmn32480> going Dogsledding was pretty neat
[03:59:01] <cmn32480> it was fun, long drive but all in all pretty good
[03:58:38] <charon> did you have a good trip?
[03:55:11] * cmn32480 wishes getting decent porn was that easy
[03:41:52] <charon> i wanted to send you an email, cmn32480, but they wouldn't give me your address. something about thinking i'd sign you up for porn
[02:33:17] * cmn32480 finds it comforting that hew was only mentioned once in his 5 day absence... and that was because of exec
[02:09:30] <Bytram> laters
[02:09:23] <Bytram> nod nod
[02:09:16] * Bytram wants his granola back!
[02:09:13] <takyon> too lazy to hit the tilde key
[02:09:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> same thing
[02:09:02] <takyon> night
[02:08:56] * exec cantankerously reverse-engineers a caravan of granola from Bytram
[02:08:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gnight Bytram
[02:08:42] * exec implicitly kipes a dong of toaster leavins from TheMightyBuzzard
[02:08:40] <Bytram> ~gnight TheMightyBuzzard
[02:08:39] * exec arrogantly pilfers a spoon of pocket rocket from bytram
[02:08:37] * exec emphatically piles an NTFS volume of scripts on takyon
[02:08:37] <cmn32480> ~gnight bytram
[02:08:36] <Bytram> ~gnight takyon
[02:08:33] * exec sneakily culturally enriches a ⅓ cup of rocket sauce with cmn32480
[02:08:31] <Bytram> ~gnight cmn32480
[02:08:27] <Bytram> I so want to contyinue this discussiomn, but I am asleep on my feet (well, seat... whatevah)
[02:08:19] <cmn32480> ~tell janrinok pbpbtpbtpbtpbtpbtptbpttttt!
[02:07:37] <Bytram> having been subject to our criminal justice system through no fault of my own, I would surely prefer to have on my jury people who have a clue and are serious about seeking the facts and justice in the case.
[02:07:35] <takyon> looks like it really is 2 different stories though
[02:06:33] <takyon> Fnord666, you missed an obvious autism merge
[02:06:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> very first supreme court chief justice john jay said so in Georgia v. Brailsford
[02:05:58] <Bytram> me, i'd resond truthfully if asked, but would not volunteer JN
[02:05:31] <takyon> you be the judge
[02:05:24] <takyon> unless one of us here actually wants to get on the jury
[02:05:15] <takyon> that's the idea bytram
[02:05:05] <Bytram> jury nullification is not very useful if you are not on a jury to use it.
[02:04:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> if they ever actually did put me on a jury, i'd get held in contempt for asking the judge why he's outright lying to us in the jury instructions that say we can only find on matters of fact and not on matters of law
[02:03:52] <takyon> "Sure. Jury nullification."
[02:03:47] <takyon> "Mr. takyon, do you believe you could judge someone impartially? Even a rapist?"
[02:03:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, troof
[02:02:58] <cmn32480> pretty middel of the road...
[02:02:49] <cmn32480> I'm jsut yer average white guy
[02:02:45] <takyon> i have never been selected for questioning yet but I would definitely talk about jury nullification as soon as they sat me down
[02:02:42] <cmn32480> lol
[02:01:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mostly wanna fuck with the lawyers. there's no way they'd ever actually select me for a jury.
[01:59:32] <cmn32480> county court? unlikely
[01:59:28] <chromas> you can pretend you don't know much about computers to get on the jury
[01:59:15] <chromas> Maybe it'll be a thybercrime
[01:58:42] <cmn32480> who knows... some of us are just lucky I guess /sarcasm
[01:57:22] <cmn32480> registe4red voter/
[01:56:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> they never call me. i dunno why.
[01:56:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> oooh, fun
[01:55:52] <cmn32480> and I get to go mia again tomorrow for frickin' jury duty
[01:55:13] <cmn32480> ah well
[01:55:00] <cmn32480> takes 30 seconds to bring him back alive
