[02:34:41] <Bytram> on second thought, I'm suppose to back at work in less than 12 hours; think I'm going to call it a night.
[02:32:48] <Bytram> anyway; dishes don't do themselves; back laters
[02:32:33] <Bytram> poiint.
[02:32:24] <chromas> that's right. make it easier for me to infringe their copyright :D
[02:32:20] <Bytram> so, have a general, works 90% of the time parser, with a couple places where additional text can be included: pre-title, post-title, pre-body-text, post-body test... the two middle ones seem to be the same thing.
[02:32:19] <Fnord666> Too many CMS's out there for that sort of consolidation. Besides everyone wants their stories to be unique
[02:30:46] <Bytram> it would be ideal if everybody syntactified their stories the exact same way (and Google Chrome was a means to try and induce that, methinks)
[02:30:21] <chromas> Yeah, I've thought about a db to put a pattern or something for each site
[02:30:06] <Fnord666> keeps the article source code isolated to a single place
[02:29:33] <Bytram> fully understand and agree with the concept; unfortunately sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
[02:29:31] <Fnord666> I know JR's bot has some sort of parse module for each news source and I think a generic approach to any site that isn't in the code
[02:28:47] <chromas> Was hoping to keep it generic
[02:28:21] <Bytram> back soon; dishes.
[02:27:56] <Bytram> then, when outputting the story from the bot, insert the saved text at the top of the body text. maybe??
[02:27:27] <Bytram> so maybe an ad-hoc search? If domain == "sciencedaily.com" then { locate and store text within: <p id="first" class="lead"> ... </p> }

[02:23:05] <Bytram> given some of the technical lingo, place names, etc. I think it would ALL look like junk at some level.
[02:22:31] <Bytram> That same paragraph seems to appear multiple times; may want to grab it from someplace else besides the one just before the story?

[02:05:25] <Bytram> blegh!
[02:05:14] <Bytram> kicked in my gag reflex when I saw something that looked like a head of lettuce that had been forgotten in the fridge for a couple weeks.
[02:05:05] <Fnord666> I'm the same way with brussel sprouts
[02:04:46] <Bytram> Just could not get over the smeel and the texture.
[02:04:18] <Bytram> Then again, over a matter of a year or two, I went from wonton soup, spring rolls, chicken lo mein to hot-and-sour soup and various dishes "extra spicy" and asked for some hot oil, too.
[02:03:58] <Fnord666> just some different ingredients to spice up the flavor
[02:03:32] <Fnord666> no more so than Sauerkraut or any other pickled cabbage really
[02:02:59] <Bytram> One of our group called it "garbage" and from what I could tell from the smell, that seemed like an apt description.
[02:02:42] <Fnord666> Still do love it actually when I can find good stuff
[02:02:20] <Fnord666> Loved homemade kinchi, didn't care as much for commercially made.
[02:02:19] <Bytram> Was far too "aromatic" for me to ever give it a try when it was available at a restaurant I used to frequent with some friends.
[02:01:47] <Bytram> ever try the kimchi?
[02:01:22] <Fnord666> spent time at FT. Lewis in Washington, Vicenza Italy, Ft. Bragg in NC and Panmunjom in Korea
[02:00:57] <Bytram> No, thank YOU!
[02:00:49] <Fnord666> thanks.
[02:00:34] <Bytram> Oh? Well, then. Thanks for your service to the country!
[02:00:08] <Fnord666> and yes it does.
[01:59:55] <Fnord666> I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in Tacoma a few years back (ok more than a few) and spent sometime going up and down the coast on off days.
[01:59:29] <Bytram> takes a lot of work and compromise
[01:59:09] <Fnord666> thx
[01:58:53] <Bytram> congratulations!
[01:58:44] <Bytram> I spent the better part of a summer into fall in San Jose on business; jaunt up to Oregon for a one day business trip; flight layover in Denver, then most else was long the east coast: Florida, NC, DC area, and the northeast.
[01:58:17] <Fnord666> I will be pretty much unavailable 9/1 to 9/8 though. Taking a cruise up to Alaska with the mrs. for our 30th wedding anniversary
[01:57:13] <Fnord666> Been west coast and a lot of east of the mississippi river
[01:56:50] <Bytram> give yourself plenty of time to acclimate and to do anything.
[01:56:37] <Bytram> the thinner air at that altitude is no joke.
[01:56:31] <Fnord666> I have not
[01:56:15] <Bytram> ever been there before?
[01:56:02] <Fnord666> That reminds me. 8/8 through 8/13 I will on vacation traveling to Colorado for a wedding, then some sightseeing.
[01:55:10] <Bytram> more of a staycation.... saw a couple movies, ate out a few times, took a bunch of naps, posted lots of stories, pretty much tried to take things as they came
[01:54:24] <Bytram> normally only allowed one week at a time, but made a special pleading to my manager and she was able to get it to go through
[01:54:11] <Fnord666> Do anything fun and/or relaxing?
[01:53:53] <Bytram> I'm well. Last week was my first week back after a two-week vacation...
[01:53:24] <Fnord666> so true
[01:53:20] <Fnord666> LOL
[01:53:13] <Bytram> Ashleigh Brilliant: "I try to take things one day at a time, but sometimes several days gang up at once."
[01:52:54] <Fnord666> How about yourself? Doing ok?
[01:52:35] <Bytram> so good to hear things are better!
[01:52:19] * Bytram can't type worth a darn tonight.
[01:52:13] <Fnord666> Had to make a few lifestyle changes, but for the better in the long run anyhow
[01:51:53] <Fnord666> Pretty much, yes. Doing well for now.
[01:51:42] <Bytram> certainly
[01:51:30] <Bytram> So I take it things are back to "normal-ish" for you after the "fun" you had earlier in the year.
[01:51:28] <Fnord666> Well that's just really shitty planning then.
[01:50:44] <Fnord666> I'm planning on pushing a few more in a bit
[01:50:35] <Bytram> or, ran completely empty and had no choice?
[01:50:22] <Bender> karma - fnord666: 85
[01:50:22] <Bytram> Fnord666++ Many thanks for the stories you pushed out this evening. would like to see if we can get a few more stories in the hopper...
[01:50:02] <Fnord666> And apparently their friend doesn't have an outlet????
[01:49:15] <Bytram> you are right; thanks for the correction.

[01:49:04] <Fnord666> The jerks who owned the Tesla said they were visiting a friend when they realized they were out of power, and offered no compensation or apologies, according to a Facebook post left by Fraumeni’s wife.
[01:48:32] <Bytram> oh! "The jerks who owned the Tesla said they were visiting a friend when they realized they were out of power, and offered no compensation or apologies, according to a Facebook post left by Fraumeni’s wife."
[01:48:03] <Fnord666> Bytram the friend's house was somewhere else nearby.
[01:47:46] <Bytram> yep
[01:47:34] <Fnord666> they normally do at home for faster charging, but they can charge off of normal 15A 110V house circuits.
[01:47:15] <Bytram> Fnord666: I don't see that the homeowner was a (previously known) friend
[01:46:46] <chromas> I thought cars used different plugs
[01:46:39] <Fnord666> and of course it was in Florida
[01:46:09] * Bytram has a nagging thought that they might have had a few drinks in 'em and "it seemed like a good idea at the time", but certainly would not tell *that* to the police.
[01:46:01] <Fnord666> no extension cord, thus the need to park in the guys yard
[01:45:36] <Fnord666> Friend's house that they were coming to visit when they founds themsleves out of charge, according to the story
[01:45:34] <chromas> Does he keep an extension cord in his car?
[01:45:08] <Bytram> And where did they go after they plugged in the car? Walk home? Call a Lyft?
[01:43:32] <Fnord666> It's the parking in the guys yard and not even offering an apology or compensation when they came back the next day that really turns the corner on this story
[01:42:36] <chromas> Put coin-operated outlets on the outside of your house

[01:41:43] <Bytram> well, it was 235 kph, traffic was building as I was approaching Bonn at 4ish and traffic was starting to get heavier. All I needed was for someone to pull out from behind a semi limited to 80 kph (~50 mph) to create some very rapid excitement. Though there was pedal left (still accelerating) figured that was good enough.
[01:41:38] <Fnord666> Sounds like fun
