[03:30:58] <Effanol-fwooled> Somebody lit the front of my grandma's house on fire.
[03:31:58] <chromas> Deucalion: you just have to mismatch the caps
[03:32:10] <Deucalion> Sure they did, and I glow in the dark Effanol-fwooled.
[03:32:14] <chromas> Effanol-fwooled: was there a bag o' poo involved?
[03:32:14] <Effanol-fwooled> Before you all accuse me of doing it, I have an alibi - I was at work and in the presence of no less than 15 people all day, not including the camera footage and badge-accesses.
[03:32:28] <chromas> we all know that's just a cover
[03:33:10] * chromas hides a lighter and ethanol can behind his back
[03:33:36] <Effanol-fwooled> We think my crazed long-lost mom did it. Now I have to spend the weekend babysitting granny with the potential to fight to the death my own mom if she returns.
[03:34:00] <Deucalion> This is a very poor parody
[03:34:15] <Effanol-fwooled> No....gasoline was used to start the fire. A multidisciinary arson team showed up to take statements and evidence.
[03:35:21] <Effanol-fwooled> *chuckles* I wouldnt believe that if somebody else told me, heh.
[03:39:24] <Deucalion> Sooo... someone is trying to set your gran on fire? Seems legit :/
[03:40:30] <Effanol-fwooled> As a rather unfortunate side effect I don't get to become trashed this weekend. Just buzzed.
[03:42:04] <Effanol-fwooled> Deucalion, ive mentioned my mom a couple times here. Imagine Michael David Crawford with a violent delusional streak, and female. That's mom. Who is also a transient who was last seen in the area.
[03:43:06] <Effanol-fwooled> Mom has been a poltergeist who has haunted the family for years in abscence, now speak of the devil.
[03:49:02] <Effanol-fwooled> Well, gramma is whining for me to leave the sports bar and take up guard duty in her house, so I must go, temporarily.
[03:49:25] <crutchy> aye focker!

[04:25:28] Ethanol-fueled_ is now known as Effanol-fwooled
[04:27:50] <Effanol-fwooled> cray-cray momma on the loose.
[04:29:53] <Effanol-fwooled> It's amazing how people could become so crazy WITHOUT the assistance of hardcore drugs like meth and PCP.
[04:30:59] <Effanol-fwooled> That's probably a major buzzkill for this forum. Let's talk technology. Microsoft are evil.
[04:31:03] <Effanol-fwooled> Windows 10 and whatnot.
[04:31:37] <Effanol-fwooled> I had high hopes for nadella, but he turned out to be just another H1-B shitting up a big piece of software with great potential.
[04:34:26] <Mayonaise> i was hoping there would be more meth and pcp chat here
[04:34:43] <chromas> is she Methanol-fueled?
[04:35:19] <Effanol-fwooled> I wish I could chat with somebody who has actually done PCP.
[04:35:32] <Effanol-fwooled> And is not still in jail.
[04:36:02] <Effanol-fwooled> chromas, she was the runt of the litter. Born nuts. Smart, but nuts.
[04:36:25] <Effanol-fwooled> And in the later stages of her mental illness, hysterical and hostile.
[04:36:47] <chromas> oh, is she a feminist then?
[04:37:25] <Effanol-fwooled> No, she wasn't crazy in the SJW sense.
[04:38:44] <Effanol-fwooled> Working in cryptography in the Army in post-WWII Germany probably didn't help her predisposition.
[04:39:24] <Effanol-fwooled> She was only a clerk with a clearance, but still. She had stories of people coming up to her and asking her for things they shouldn't know about.
[04:40:24] <Effanol-fwooled> The problem was that she was born into a family with depression-era parents, where 'tough love' meant kicking your own family when they were already down.
[04:41:00] <Effanol-fwooled> Now the chickens ('chickens' being batshit-insane ragers) are coming home to roost.
[04:42:51] <Effanol-fwooled> I saw my mom fight two cops, and had grabed one's nuts and twisted his nutsack.
[04:43:09] <Effanol-fwooled> She was solid lean muscle.
[05:03:05] <Effanol-fwooled> It's as if god spent his life leveling up my mom physically, then cast 'Beserk' on her
[05:03:34] <Effanol-fwooled> or 'Confusion'
[05:03:39] <chromas> is she red?
[05:04:23] * chromas sets mode +inappropriate_response
[05:04:33] <Effanol-fwooled> I don't get it, chromas.
[05:04:55] <Effanol-fwooled> I thought bezerk was steam clouds rising from the head or something like that.
[05:05:29] <chromas> in 8 they turn red; I don't remember in the others

[05:08:00] <chromas> from the because-we-need-the-money-and-don't-want-to-be-fired dept
[05:10:14] <Effanol-fwooled> chromas, the easy answer is greed and pussification.
[05:10:46] <Effanol-fwooled> People think they can't fight and fuck the organization which is fucking them.
[05:11:10] <Effanol-fwooled> I did, though. Now my previous boss and his boss are both doing MY job.
[05:11:26] <chromas> they didn't outsource it yet?
[05:11:36] <chromas> or hire mexicans?
[05:11:48] <Effanol-fwooled> They did, chromas, but before they could take the crucial step of turnover I quit.
[05:11:58] <Effanol-fwooled> (well, I was laid off, but it's complicated)
[05:12:41] <Effanol-fwooled> short answer is, the service centers can't fix the big expensive shit I did and the people left in-house are deliberately sabotaging the big-money items because they're too lazy for hard work.
[05:13:01] <Effanol-fwooled> People are just too chickenshit and/or too dumb to fight.
[05:13:37] <Effanol-fwooled> Well, but there is an elephant in the room. Family. When you have a wife and kids, then your boss has you by the balls.
[05:14:19] <Effanol-fwooled> When you're a single slob like me who lives in an apartment the size of a jail cell, I bust my ass and make manuvers to get my employer dependent on me...then fuck them if they fuck me.
[05:14:20] <chromas> she wasn't an elephant, until she got married
[05:14:54] <Effanol-fwooled> I can find another job. But it's more complicated for corporations who need more than a drop-in replacement.
[05:15:34] <Effanol-fwooled> chromas, that's why I go for fat chicks right off the bat - I know they're fat and I don't expect them to get skinny - but I do expect them to be loyal and suck good dick, and often cook good food.
[05:15:41] <Effanol-fwooled> fat_chicks++
[05:15:41] <Bender> karma - fat_chicks: 2
[05:16:11] <chromas> if they're fat and don't give good head, then they're a paradox
[05:16:24] <chromas> because they like to eat
[05:17:09] <Effanol-fwooled> if they're fat and don't give good head, then they ain't no fat chick o' mine.
[05:17:50] <Effanol-fwooled> I love fat chicks. You can slap and beat their clammy flab till the room stinks of hog heaven.
[05:18:14] <Effanol-fwooled> But there are certain prerequisites that fat chicks must meat, and good fellatio is one of them.
[05:22:26] <Effanol-fwooled> And some fat chicks are too good with cooking - They'll make awesome handcrafted dinners that taste good, then they'll make one that's like prune chutney or some shit. What a buzzkill.

[07:05:49] <crutchy> a funny thing happened on my way to the forums.... i was banned!
[07:06:10] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, that's because Australians have shitposting in their blood.
[07:06:29] <Ethanol-fueled> Americans have to strive to reach the level of shitposting that Aussies are born with.
[07:07:23] <Ethanol-fueled> IN my case it may have been a result of the rampage which caused my karma to drop 10+ points.
[07:07:27] <crutchy> i still haven't passed shitposting 101

[12:10:34] <Runaway1956> Well, yes, generally coffee, but sodas can be an acceptable substitute

[12:12:32] <Runaway1956> Mountain Dew contributed to the beginnings of an ulcer, when I was much younger. I swore off of soda for a long time. I still only do them occassionally

[12:16:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> he calls it QA but really he just likes breaking shit.
[12:17:48] <Runaway1956> You seem to presume that I know anything about coding or programming - I couldn't program my way out of a wet paper sack
[12:18:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'okay, Bytram don't code either. he just figures out ways to break the shit me and pj code.

[12:23:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i'm not being fair. he does a bit of template work sometimes. html stuff.

[12:34:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> essentially. if it doesn't fit their narrative or sell a lot of ads it's not gonna get airtime.
[12:35:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> same's true of all cable news stations
[12:37:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'like libtards object to FNC not because of the truth/falsehood or quality of the reporting but because of the opposing narrative.
[12:37:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> while i object to it because of quality
[12:37:35] <Runaway1956> Yes, that's it in a nutshell - opposing narratives not tolerated
[12:38:03] <Runaway1956> I stomach the quality, only becuase it is an opposing view
[12:39:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> hannity was really what killed it for me. i hate someone supporting a position i take myself but doing so so poorly that he harms it instead of helps it.

[12:50:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, s'cause it was perl. perl's easy to understand once you learn it, same as anything.

[13:02:16] <chromas> it's what they do
[13:02:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> blue hair and a stud in the nose/eyebrow used to mean "this bitch will beat your entire ass if you fuck with her. or if it just amuses her to do so. or if she's just bored."

[18:35:48] <nick> some summaries are long
[18:36:36] <nick> we try to keep the summaries to around 3-4 paragraphs, if there's say 8 proper paragraphs, or a full page of information in the summary, then we find a point where some of it can go after the break
[18:38:26] <Gravis> nick: what break? it's just a new paragraph.
[18:38:43] <Gravis> nick: but more specifically, why is it denoted in the text?
[18:38:49] <nick> you dont see the rest of the summary until you go into the article itself
[18:39:18] <nick> because [x words in this story] is the only other indication that there's more to the summary than on the main page
[18:39:54] <Gravis> nick: then shouldn't it be a "[More...]" link on the front page and not be shown when you view the summary?
[18:40:09] <nick> sure, i'd go with that
[18:40:35] <Gravis> great... then get rid of this "[More After the Break]" shit because there is no break

[18:42:29] <Runaway1956> Reboot coming in about ten minutes - wish me luck . . .
[18:43:06] <Runaway1956> If that works, I'll probably attempt the ck kernel next, so I can compare them
[18:43:07] <Gravis> Runaway1956: please fail to boot.
[18:43:19] * Runaway1956 laughs at Gravis
[18:44:41] * Bytram offers some honey to Gravis -- 'You can catch more bees with honey than vinegar.'
[18:45:13] * Runaway1956 thinks Gravis prefers neonics to bees
[18:45:29] <Bytram> Gravis: you raise valid points, but your presentation has all the subtlety of a SWAT attack.
[18:45:55] <Gravis> Bytram: then it got your attention.
[18:46:29] <Bytram> there are other ways to get attention that are more effective.
[18:46:30] <Gravis> Bytram: now don't let your emotions get in the way of progress.
[18:46:39] <Runaway1956> why attempt to be subtle when your only tool is a sledgehammer?

[18:49:00] <Gravis> Bytram: i wouldn't say anything to the staff if i didn't care.
[18:51:21] <Bytram> that sounds very much like "I wouldn't hit you if I didn't care"
[18:51:59] <Gravis> Bytram: so you want me to hit you? sorry but i gotta draw the line somewhere
[18:52:06] <Gravis> ;)
[18:52:20] <Bytram> Gravis: Work on your reading comprehension.
[18:52:45] <Bytram> you give off a strong sense that you cannot be happy unless you are putting someone else down.
[18:52:58] <Bytram> try giving others complements, and you just might start getting some yourself.
[18:53:18] <Bytram> your way of giving thanks for what has
[18:53:30] <Bytram> already been given you, freely, could use some work.
[18:53:35] <Runaway1956> Oh yuck - is Gravis going to get all mushy on us?
[18:54:19] <Gravis> Bytram: that would be disingenuous. what happened to people keeping it real?
[18:54:21] * Bytram suggests Runaway1956 is unnecessarily concerned; I doubt I'd live long enough to EVER see that happen!
[18:54:43] <Bytram> Gravis: so, you DO admit that you cannot give a complement.
[18:55:16] <Gravis> Bytram: i can but it wouldn't be like me, it would be a facade
[18:55:20] <nick> what happened to civility? it's not like this is a huge community where you need to shout to be heard
[18:55:25] * Runaway1956 is relieved
[18:56:52] <Bytram> Gravis: why would it be a facade? are you claiming that you are utterly unable to change to be more grateful and thankful?
[18:57:03] <Bytram> or just htat you are unwillling to?
[18:57:45] <Gravis> Bytram: it's not my disposition and it's not worth the effort to change.
[18:57:59] * Bytram thinks Gravis is afraid to ask for something and be rejected and so employs 'the best defense is a goof offense' technique.
[18:58:07] <Bytram> s/goof/good/
[18:58:07] <sedctl> <Bytram> thinks Gravis is afraid to ask for something and be rejected and so employs 'the best defense is a good offense' technique.
[18:58:33] * Runaway1956 translates: I prefer to be a borish.
[18:58:47] <Gravis> Bytram: well, now that you know my secret, you understand why i am like i am.
[18:59:08] <Gravis> Bytram: thanks for understanding
[18:59:22] <nick> 'it's not worth the effort to change.' is duly noted
[18:59:51] <Bytram> I used to be afraid of criticism, but I have learned over time that learning to accept that I *am* human, that I will make mistakes, and so will everyone else, has done a great deal to change how I ask things of others.
[18:59:58] <Runaway1956> We all still love you Gravis. Some love you when you arrive, some love you when you leave, but we all love you.
[19:00:03] <Bytram> if they say no, it does not mean they are rejecting me
[19:00:20] <Bytram> it just may mean that they do not have the free time atm to meet my request.
[19:00:35] <Bytram> so, I try to remember that and 'make a request instead of demand'
[19:01:06] <Bytram> they might say yes, they might say no; in neither case is it a reflection on me and my selfworth
[19:01:30] <Bytram> as you can see, I, too, can offer tit-for-tat, but...
[19:01:40] <Bytram> an eye-for-an-eye leads to a world of blind people
[19:02:10] <Runaway1956> In an eye-for-an-eye world, the only eyeless people are perps and victims
[19:02:11] <Bytram> so, I try to treat others as I would like to be treated, and an interesting thing has happened
[19:02:20] <Bytram> most of the people that I meet treat me that way, too.
[19:03:26] <nick> i'm a cynical prick, as could be evidenced by the majority of my comments, but i try to use that cynicism in a non-confrontational way to engage and inform
[19:05:00] <Gravis> Bytram: that doesn't sounds like a good way to win at capitalism. gotta by a Runaway1956-style sociopath.

[19:05:47] <Runaway1956> Oh, wow - all twelve cores are running full speed - I don't see that very often

[19:06:35] * Bytram has spent over a quarter century testing code and QAing documentation and specs; by definition that means presenting information that is counter to what people want to hear. In my experience, if I am looking for a positive response and some change in the code or docs, I have had FAR more success by asking instead of demanding.
[19:08:17] <Bytram> I did not put me feet on the floor and start running when I was a tot; it took practice and letting go of old perspectives and thoughts and growing into new ones.
[19:08:34] <Bytram> If one does not practice, how can one get better?
[19:08:54] <Bytram> I see a lot of practice at griefing, but none at asking nicely.
[19:09:07] * Runaway1956 is not a sociopath, just a plain, old fashioned asshole
[19:09:11] <Bytram> why not try that? My experience is that I actually receive more that way!
[19:09:46] <Bytram> or, are you afraid to try?
[19:09:55] <Bytram> the only failure is to fail to try.
[19:12:52] <Bytram> Gravis: and you might find it helpful to know that this issue of 'more after the break' has been a challenge for us as editors, too. We have struggled to find a way, using the resources at our command to clearly demark that there is more to the story than what appears on the main page.
[19:13:08] <Bytram> that is the best that we had come up with so far.
[19:13:23] <Bytram> A suggestion for a better phrasing would be GREATLY appreciated.
[19:13:49] <Bytram> bithcing about it adds nothing new.
[19:13:54] <Bytram> as it stands,
[19:14:09] <Bytram> i am currently working at a story and am trying a differnt phrasing
[19:14:17] <Bytram> <p>[Continues...]</p>
[19:14:44] <Bytram> if anyone has a better suggestion for phrasing, I'm open to hearing it.
[19:15:18] <Bytram> I hve actaully looked at the code to see if there were a way of automating it, but I faioled to find the information I needed to be available when that text is emitted.
[19:15:56] <Bytram> In other words, this does not appear to be a quick-and-easy problem to solve; if it were, I'd have done it by now.
[19:16:32] <Bytram> but, I do appreciate your taking time to point out that it s bothersome; we do appreciate the feedback.
[19:17:20] <Bytram> otoh, saying 'I find it confusing to see '[More after break]' when I don't see a break' would convey the same request but in a way that would be much more likely to encourage support for getting it changed.
[19:17:44] <Bytram> that said, I really need to go; have enjoyed the conversation. and hope to be back a bit later.
[19:41:17] <Runaway1956> Dammit - my kernel install has halted. Not crashed, just halted. The kernel is in place, boot images generated, but the script has halted. Probably need to start from scratch . . . .

[20:10:30] <nick> hilary clinton's libya email is an informative one

[20:12:05] <Runaway1956> TY
[20:14:32] <Runaway1956> Yes, that is informative - I've not read that one before
[20:14:56] <nick> nice bit of actual foreign policy discussion there
[20:16:13] <nick> points c, d and e are quite to the point
[20:17:17] <nick> i really havn't been following the clinton emails, as it's going through so many layers of approval about what gets released anyway
[20:17:35] <nick> but when stuff like this does come out, it's still quite interesting
[20:18:29] <Runaway1956> Even if one accepts the claim that she broke no laws - it was utterly stupid of her to do all her business on a private server
[20:18:46] <Runaway1956> Of course, I don't accept that moronic premise that it was legal for her to do it

[20:18:59] <nick> For his part, Mr. Sarkozy called for Libyans to show forgiveness to their internal adversaries and not resort to vengeance and score-settling as the conflict winds down, echoing a theme expressed by the leaders of the Transitional National Council. He also said France expected no favorable treatment in exchange for pressing the NATO campaign.
[20:18:59] <nick> “What we did we did without a hidden agenda, but because we wanted to help Libya,” he said.

[20:21:18] <nick> "expect no favorable treatment ... wanted to help libya"
[20:22:30] <nick> that was in september 2011... december 2015... "Libya militia chases away US troops"
[20:23:18] <nick> this month, ISIS claims police station bombings and attacked an oil terminal.
[20:23:39] <nick> i hope everyone in NATO is patting themselves on the back for another fantastic job well done
[20:31:28] <nick> one day they'll get it right again and we'll get another kosovo
[20:33:58] * nick wonders if Guzman is going to be extradited this time
[20:42:34] * Runaway1956 suspects that he might not live long enough to be extradited
[20:46:12] <nick> i assume there were some people in the US very unhappy with his escape, and it was going to be an expensive mistake for important people in mexico
[20:46:45] <Runaway1956> That doesn't even touch on the embarassment factor
[20:48:14] <nick> of course, that would have been motivation too
[20:48:58] <nick> he almost got away this time too, apparently
