[23:45:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably because we used to have someone who was in charge of the wiki but don't now. if you feel like taking on the largely thankless task of keeping it up to date, welcome to it.
[23:44:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> we try to keep it from being horribly outdated but not very hard
[23:42:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's not really. people just ask in comment/journal or in irc mostly.
[23:37:24] <everdred> versus when the site was getting going
[23:37:14] <everdred> I can't imagine it's that important today
[23:33:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh we're lazy about updating that thing so it may be wrong anyway
[23:33:09] <everdred> TheMightyBuzzard, thanks! Had glanced around the wiki but maybe not enough.

[18:13:59] <Konomi> anyway, sleeping so I can code more c#
[18:05:17] <Konomi> I suddenly feel like I did a flimsy job of explaining my tea hoarding oh well
[18:00:36] -!- bacterium [bacterium!~melikamp@165.196.lop.uy] has joined #Soylent
[17:57:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar. i dig earl gray and have it around the house but the jug in the fridge is always lipton. hot vs iced.
[17:56:52] <Konomi> so I use the better tea then
[17:56:44] <Konomi> I like night more less idiots and stuff to deal with
[17:56:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'about the only product i can think of that guys collect more than two or three flavors of
[17:56:26] <Konomi> also I normally have French earl grey at night and standard during the day
[17:55:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> so like a literal teetotaler liquor cabinet then.
[17:54:35] * TheMightyBuzzard nods thoughtfully
[17:54:22] <Konomi> I mean it can lead to some regretful purchases but discovering new flavours is good
[17:53:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's not something that bothers me but it does mystify me
[17:53:20] <Konomi> um I like to try different flavours from time to timem
[17:52:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> why do women feel the need to keep more than two or three kinds of tea around the house?
[17:52:10] <Konomi> hmm?
[17:52:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> Konomi, i have a technical question for you
[17:52:00] <Bender> karma - internet: 1
[17:52:00] <SemperOSS> internet--
[17:51:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> stupid internet. made me waste like 20m worth of nap time by distracting me.
[17:49:14] <SemperOSS> If it is listed in descending order of content, it's the second largest pot of ingredients
[17:46:09] <Konomi> I do wonder too I'll have to inspect the box sometime
[17:40:34] <SemperOSS> I wonder what the not-so-precise term "flavouring" covers in your French Earl Grey?
[17:39:22] <SemperOSS> And I seriously need to cut down on the coffee lifeline
[17:38:44] <SemperOSS> I'm moving shortly, becoming "trailer trash" ... possibly without too much "trash". I'll have to cut down on my belongings and be careful with my selection of teas, so I'm interested in hearing about other people's experiences at the mo.
[17:36:08] <Konomi> variety I get has "Black tea, flavouring, hibiscus, sunflower petals, rose petals, mallow flowers"
[17:35:40] <SemperOSS> In tea, that is
[17:35:26] <SemperOSS> I'm fairly OK with jasmine and rose petals but when it comes to fruits like blueberry, strawberry and such, I'm not so keen
[17:34:36] <Konomi> it gives it a more fruity taste
[17:34:28] <SemperOSS> Ah, I see
[17:34:07] <Konomi> "There are variations available including such ingredients as jasmine, as well as various flowers.[18] A blend with added rose petals is known as French Earl Grey."
[17:33:58] <upstart> ^ 03Earl Grey tea - Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org )
[17:33:57] <Konomi> https://en.wikipedia.org
[17:32:29] <SemperOSS> Educate me: What's the difference between French Earl Grey and the English (black tea with bergamot oil)?
[17:31:55] <Konomi> need to get some more containers
[17:31:45] <Konomi> want to try my new blend but I have a lot of tea waiting already
[17:31:22] <Konomi> french earl grey
[17:29:41] <SemperOSS> Konomi: What's today's blend then?

[17:17:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> smoke break
[17:17:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> neato
[17:15:47] <cmn32480> and I jsut got an emial that was sent at 10:26 this morning
[17:15:11] * cmn32480 does the happy dance
[17:15:04] <cmn32480> CPU is unpegged!
[17:13:10] <cmn32480> Amazon dones't carry them... they must not exist
[17:10:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> never seen flaps with him on it
[17:09:38] <cmn32480> Foghorn Leghorn?
[17:08:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> Yosemite Sam "Back Off" flaps would also be acceptable
[17:08:09] <cmn32480> agreed on both counts
[17:07:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm a traditionalist
[17:07:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> cmn32480: better than "a bank robbery in the building where I work" which is thing that happened to me once.
[17:07:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> chrome trucker chick
[17:06:43] <cmn32480> Confederate Flag on the mud flaps?
[17:06:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> i want one of those but with a lift kit, mud-grip tires, a dixie horn, a brush guard, and longhorn horns for handlebars

[17:04:56] <cmn32480> Segways
[17:04:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> are your cops on skateboards or something?
[17:04:19] * TheMightyBuzzard blinks
[17:04:12] <cmn32480> "suspect escaped on a bicycle"
[17:04:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> either way, not being able to "nice -n 20 $update_cmd" is shit
[17:03:53] <cmn32480> oooo bank robbery in the town where I live
[17:03:07] <cmn32480> a fair point
[17:03:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think it's just to confuse the fuck out of everyone
[17:02:41] <cmn32480> true
[17:02:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, that would contradict the brilliance of lumping all other system updates together.
[17:01:57] <cmn32480> so that admins can not apply it
[17:01:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> wonder why.
[17:01:19] <cmn32480> yep
[17:01:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's still a separate update instead of lumped in with the big ole bulk update?
[17:00:39] <cmn32480> gets manually Not approved EVER
[17:00:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh
[17:00:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's the pancake
[17:00:21] <cmn32480> that doesn't get applied
[17:00:14] <cmn32480> malicious software update tool or some crap
[16:59:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't mean windows defender, i mean the used to be an individual update malware scan that comes out every month.
[16:59:39] <cmn32480> but diab;ig the virus scan is a good idea.. if I can get it to respond long enough to do it
[16:59:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh
[16:59:02] <cmn32480> nah.. it already looked for updates
[16:58:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably the malware scan
[16:58:09] <cmn32480> though for the life of me I can't figure out why
[16:57:59] <cmn32480> it has just had the CPU pegged...
[16:57:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean about the worst possible update in the linux world is a very old gentoo box (unless you use slackware, then gods help you) and that may take a while but it won't stop the box from operating properly while performing the update and it will need at most one reboot.
[16:56:09] <cmn32480> no kidding, right?
[16:55:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> blame microsoft. it's their fault anyway for making updates so cocktacular.
[16:55:17] <cmn32480> very very VERY slowly
[16:55:13] <cmn32480> mail is flowing...
[16:54:42] <cmn32480> the CFO thought so too
[16:54:38] <cmn32480> yeah
[16:54:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> sorry to laugh but your pain is quite funny
[16:53:13] <cmn32480> trying not to become a smoking puddle on the floor

[16:52:06] <cmn32480> I went to release all the patches for this maching that hasn't been on in like 5 months.. .

[16:50:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> yup, still bupkis!
[16:50:26] <AndyTheAbsurd> let's see, zero times zero...carry the zero....
[16:50:07] * TheMightyBuzzard just gave himself a 500% raise
[16:49:38] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yeah, and is anybody getting paid to do that work?
[16:49:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> and occasionally forget how to do it in the first place if you want to be picky about it.
[16:48:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> it takes a week or two to get a new SN staff member all lined out but only because we're lazy and not paying much attention.
[16:47:54] <cmn32480> and it hasn't been updated since.

[16:47:06] <cmn32480> and I CC'd her boss on it
[16:46:38] <cmn32480> I politely told her that IT requires at least a wekes notice as the computer often requires additional updates adn needs to be set up for new users
