[17:33:23] <Bytram> laters!!
[17:33:16] * Bytram stayed up way too late last night. taking a nap.
[17:30:36] <Bytram> hang in there!
[17:30:25] <Bytram> janrinok: thanksfor the heads up; best wishes and thoughts to you!!!!!!!!
[17:26:59] <janrinok> Not sure how much time I will have in the week coming. Lockdown rules change tomorrow and S has a long list of outstanding appointments which begin tomorrow morning.
[17:22:42] <Bytram> break time
[17:22:39] <Bytram> tired and sore
[17:20:53] <Bytram> First attempt did NOT go ever well with the community -- too complicated. Second try, IIRC (with some tweaking) got us "here"
[17:19:32] <Bytram> I was in the room when matt_ mrcoolbp NCommander and I were hashing it all out.
[17:18:45] <janrinok> ... or perhaps I had just forgotten
[17:17:56] <janrinok> 265 days in prolly an imperial year
[17:17:54] <Bytram> right from the beginning
[17:17:43] <Bytram> yep
[17:17:28] <Bytram> 365 day $20.00 Gak!
[17:17:21] <janrinok> I never knew we had minimums
[17:17:16] <Bytram> 265 day $20.00
[17:16:56] <Bytram> 180 day $12.00
[17:16:47] <Bytram> 30 day $4.00
[17:16:26] <Bytram> ugh
[17:16:10] <Bytram> 30 Day: USD 180 Day: USD 365 Day: USD
[17:16:10] <Bytram> Duration and price: Choose a subscription duration and set the price you wish to pay for it. Defaults are the minimum for that duration but you can support SoylentNews even more, if you'd like to, by increasing the amount.
[17:16:09] <Bytram> from a "Private Browsing" window (i.e. as an AC), I see:
[17:14:28] <Bytram> ;(
[17:14:15] <systemd> https://youtube.com - Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies (live 2015) (04:12)
[17:14:14] <Bytram> =yt "tell me lies" fleetwood mac
[17:12:37] <janrinok> it might tell you lies....
[17:12:21] <Bytram> =)
[17:12:16] <Bytram> oh. doh!
[17:11:28] <janrinok> you are editing the systemd story and googled OOM using systemd bot
[17:11:08] <Bytram> I don't get it?
[17:08:45] <janrinok> just look at which bot you used ;)
[17:08:09] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org - Out of memory - Wikipedia
[17:08:09] <Bytram> =g OOM
[17:08:03] <Bytram> somehow I guessed that might happen!
[17:07:07] <janrinok> we had Mothers Day on Mar 14 for the UK, and June 7th in France - but Happy Mothers' Day if it is appropriate wherever you are!
[17:05:13] <systemd> https://en.wikipedia.org - Network File System - Wikipedia
[17:05:12] <Bytram> =g NFS
[17:00:29] <Bytram> kewel. tx!
[17:00:13] <Fnord666> Bytram finished reviewing the Mom's day story. Cleaned up a few typos but that's it
[17:00:05] <janrinok> No problem - it has already been discussed and decided. I just hadn't realised that there is a minimum contribution that we will accept ever.
[16:58:50] <Bytram> I'm deep into reviewing a story... give me a couple minutes and I'll actually try and see what happens.
[16:57:55] <janrinok> If it were me being asked under those rules I would say - I'll not bother contributing at all then, I still keep my username etc...
[16:56:49] <Bytram> $4.00 for a month
[16:56:28] <janrinok> I think that sends the wrong message. On the one hand we are saying that we recognise that people might not have much money and they should spend it locally, but then saying that unless they want to give us at least $20 for a year we don't want it?
[16:54:39] <Bytram> Not *me*, but that is what the code *does*
[16:54:09] <janrinok> Bytram, so if somebody wants to give you $10 for a year, because that is all they have to give you, are you going to refuse it?
[16:48:21] <Bytram> thanks!!!!!!
[16:48:14] <Fnord666> looking at it now

[16:47:19] <Bytram> Fnord666: ^^^ https://soylentnews.org
[16:46:23] <Bytram> If you get a change, I'd appreciate a review to make sure I didn't something out out. ;)
[16:45:27] <Bytram> Figured I might as well lead off the story with a wish for a happy Mother's Day, and then realized I needed to reschedule to make it happen.
[16:44:07] <Bytram> =)
[16:30:15] <Fnord666> oh, I see
[16:28:03] <Fnord666> I'm planning on the Ferguson story for 8am UK or thereabouts since it is most relevant there
[16:27:34] <Fnord666> why's that?
[16:26:15] <Bytram> looks like I have some rescheduling to do.
[16:25:59] <Bytram> oh? Nice!
[16:24:56] <Fnord666> I have merged all of the Ferguson Model stories and m weeding it down now
[16:24:02] * Bytram is trying to push out meta and mom sotry for net slot

[14:54:33] <Bytram> I will rewrite to give an explicit example of overriding the default. =)
[14:53:31] <Bytram> is a *minimum* for that duration.
[14:53:12] <Bytram> Reminder, the indicated amount (e.g. $20.00 for one year) is [NOT?-- SEE EDITORS NOTE--JR] a minimum for that duration.
[14:53:05] <Bytram> Please reread.
[14:36:57] <Bytram> janrinok: thanky!
[08:16:21] <janrinok> Bytram, I've suggested a minor change to your meta story - see editors notes.

[04:40:14] <Fnord666> good night Bytram
[04:40:06] <Bytram> good night everybody
[04:27:05] <systemd> Thanks for submitting this story. It appears that no editor has yet selected this story to be run. At least a week has passed since the story was submitted, and if an editor was going to have selected it, they would likely have done so by now. It has, therefore, been removed from the submission queue.
[04:27:04] <Fnord666> =declined
[03:29:47] <chromas> Yeah it doesn't export any tags
[03:28:52] <Bytram> neswcat came out clean, but got none of the URLs
[03:28:09] <chromas> 5
[03:27:59] <Bytram> storybot got the whle story, and a whole bunch of jst, too.
[03:27:26] <Bytram> Was using in on your web page. Your boz just got the first P.'
[03:27:18] <Fnord666> of which version?
[03:26:49] <chromas> since I have a copy
[03:26:40] <chromas> I should make janrinok's scraper available to the bot
[03:26:35] <Bytram> yep... it's fugly all right
[03:26:12] <Bytram> gnawed gnawed!
[03:25:43] <chromas> Empty comments and other random junk in the middle of their sentences. Probably their scrapey-bot 5000 deafeater
[03:25:40] <Fnord666> I might as well jump into the story too. Everyone else is gawking at it
[03:25:09] <chromas> their html is incredibly retarded
