[02:18:15] <plentywood> janrinok is a nazi Fink!
[02:18:27] -!- plentywood has quit [Quit: Client closed]
[02:23:47] <halibut> I gather ``fink'' is an insult ... but looking at https://en.wikipedia.org and https://en.wiktionary.org , it looks like it has several or even neutral connotations.
[02:24:02] <halibut> (several neutral or even positive connotations)
[02:24:31] <halibut> For example, it is a nickname of Billy Joel Armstrong.
[02:26:56] <halibut> It is also a term for a type of bird. Makes sense. I am a fish. Somebody else is a bird. Now we just need a land (surface) dweller and a subterranean, and we will have decent coverage of habitat types.
[03:18:27] <drussell> I know it from the Wizard of Id comics, the peasants always saying "The king is a fink!"
[03:18:29] <drussell> https://en.wikipedia.org
[03:20:17] <chromas> Sounds like a slur for jews
[03:55:59] <halibut> I wonder what the ``The Wizard of Id'' author thinks it means. Complaining that the king is an informant does not seem apropos.
[03:59:35] <drussell> Johnny Hart died in 2007
[04:00:47] <halibut> Ah. Please replace ``thinks'' with ``thought''.
[04:02:59] <drussell> In the Wizard of Id context, it means they think the king is a contemptable person, a creep, a bad king
[04:06:28] <halibut> I suppose, technically, it does mean that, but given the other definitions, I interpret it being more like being called ``a rat'', which also means contemptible, but typically reserved for contemptible informers.
[04:23:03] <drussell> It's being used as the first type of noun listed in many dictionaries:
[04:23:11] <drussell> https://www.merriam-webster.com
[04:23:23] <drussell> https://www.wordnik.com
[04:23:39] <drussell> for example
[04:23:52] <drussell> 1
[04:23:52] <drussell> : one who is disapproved of or is held in contempt
[04:23:54] <drussell> etc.
[04:40:38] <chromas> Preaching to the choir then
[04:40:55] <chromas> Announcing to everyone that the person they don't like is someone they don't like

[09:12:13] <drussell> Please take your US politicaly-motivated racist nonsense elsewhere
[09:13:42] <drussell> Bytram: I'm not sure how you or anyone else can handle Youtube "shorts." The whole conceptis abhorent. I never watch anything "shorts" I just have it all blocked completely.
[09:14:26] <plethoripuss> Soon, fellow fink drussell, you too shall be an USAian, and racist nonsense will be your own, just "Southern".
[09:28:23] <Ingar> I would even welcome a ublock rule to remove shorts from youtube
[09:40:28] <chromas2> There're extensions like youtube enhancer with a shorts hideulator
[09:51:34] <drussell> I think I just added a URL rule to uBlock for the direct links (something like @@||youtube.com/shorts) IIRC and imported the by-element blocklist from:
[09:51:36] <drussell> https://raw.githubusercontent.com

[11:29:48] <fab23> To fix all this problems, we should shut down the IRC :)
[12:10:54] <Ingar> just +r suffices
[12:13:41] <janrinok> Ingar, good afternoon to you. It is raining hard here, how is it where you are?
[12:14:28] <Ingar> janrinok: cloudy but dry
[12:14:41] <Ingar> last night it actually cleared out around idnight
[12:14:44] <Ingar> *midnight
[12:15:20] <Ingar> we'll get snowy rain stuff later today though
[12:16:07] <janrinok> much too warm here for snow 8C
[12:44:26] <chromas2> been waiting all winter for winter to come
[12:45:53] <janrinok> I thought where you are you would have had snow long before now - but perhaps I misunderstand where exactly you are.
[12:46:26] <chromas2> Usually we do
[12:46:42] <chromas2> Well we did have some dustings of snow a couple months ago
[12:48:56] <chromas2> 496 rankines at the moment

[17:25:52] <kolie> It wasn't but I did deploy the latest code changes.
[17:26:18] <kolie> Just FYI the LAX region has some severe weather phenomena. There shouldn't be any major outages. What might happen is if one of the tier one isp
[17:26:41] <kolie> have a connection drop, routes in the area will get wonky for 1-2 minuets until the area settles.

[19:02:30] <Ingar> darn, I look outside and there's a ton of snow
[19:03:40] <janrinok> enough to stop you from going to work tomorrow?
[19:04:32] <Ingar> I plow my bicycle through the snow while laughing at all the cars stuck in traffic
[19:05:12] <Ingar> it is rather exhasuting though
[19:05:36] <Ingar> got to keep an eye on the road at all times
[19:06:50] <janrinok> well, with luck it will snow all night and you will have to stay at home... :D Can you work from home?
