[02:03:55] <Bytram> takyon: Not *certain* how I get the multiple postings... current suspicion lies in how I post stories on my cell phone. When done posting a story, I hit back in my browser a couple times to get back to the submissions list (and backtrack out of cached pages to free up limited memory on my phone).
[02:04:31] <Bytram> My guess is that rehash perceives my 'passing through' a page as a request to repost it? Not sure, but that is my current working theory.

[03:38:38] <Bytram> haad the need to follow a twitter feed, nor to post a tweet of my own
[03:38:58] <cmn32480> the root word of twitter is twit... not tweet

[13:48:44] <CoolHand> cmn32480: I was thinking bout that heart story..
[13:48:59] <cmn32480> yeah?
[13:49:19] <CoolHand> i read somewhere that the backpack was just a power source and not artificial heart on the outside (valve system actually inside body) so that's not quite as impressive..
[13:49:38] <CoolHand> also
[13:49:58] <CoolHand> this link: https://www.sciencedaily.com that is linked from the story I submitted seems to be one that people here might like better..
[13:50:06] <CoolHand> whaddya think ?
[13:51:41] <CoolHand> (I was thinking about deleting my sub and possibly resubmitting with that but you promoted it too quick.. :) ) Anyway, I guess the big thing is that he lasted 555 days and was active, but it seems not as impressive with the pump system in the body.. I haven't found any thing to prove that though (and if so I think the title needs changed) - I just found a comment about it
[13:54:10] <CoolHand> here is info on the "heart" I think.. doesn't talk power supply, but would still might be cool to link it if we run it.. http://www.syncardia.com
[13:54:11] <webzone> ^ 03Total Artificial Heart Facts - Total Facts - SynCardia Systems, Inc.
[13:55:11] <cmn32480> if you want to change it go ahead
[13:56:33] <nick> the sciencedaily article seems to be lacking any technical details
[13:57:01] <CoolHand> nick - yeah..
[13:57:12] <nick> that's the article on the story i'd expect to read in a widely published tabloid
[13:57:24] <nick> not so much on a site that presents itself as science focused
[13:58:13] <nick> nothing wrong with it, just reads very much like a press release for the non-science crowd
[13:58:38] <nick> which i guess is what it is
[14:00:51] <CoolHand> wikipedia says the backpack blows air through the device in the chest.. strange.. that's what it looks like on some other pics I see though..
[14:01:21] <cmn32480> I gotta split guys... sorry... am late getting to the custoemr site.
[14:01:24] <CoolHand> so what do you think nick? just change the title and a bit of wording and let it run?
[14:01:28] <CoolHand> see ya cmn32480
[14:01:29] <CoolHand> thanks
[14:01:31] * nick hat tip cmn32480
[14:01:38] <CoolHand> or can it?
[14:01:39] <cmn32480> I'm f**king useless...
[14:01:45] <cmn32480> ~gday #editorial
[14:01:47] * exec overratedly passes a shitload of string cheese to #editorial
[14:02:10] <nick> that headline is horrible imho
[14:02:23] <CoolHand> yeah, I agree (and I wrote it... :) )
[14:02:48] <nick> what's wrong with the summary, nothing is jumping out at me
[14:03:22] <CoolHand> only "artificial heart in a backpack.." which I think astute readers will nitpick..
[14:04:03] <CoolHand> I guess that is direct wording from article, but since its not technically correct I can already hear the comments..
[14:04:31] <CoolHand> although I guess it is part and parcel of the function so is a part of the artificial heart
[14:04:34] <nick> i'd just remove your opening
[14:05:07] <nick> the first sentence gives a decent overview of the story
[14:06:02] <nick> struggling to think of a revised headline
[14:06:43] <CoolHand> whaddya think on title? 25 Year Old Survives (and Balls) 555 Days Without Heart
[14:07:13] <CoolHand> 25 Yr Old with No Heart is a Badass :)
[14:07:15] <CoolHand> heh
[14:07:20] <nick> lol
[14:08:33] <nick> whatever you think, looked at some others where the story has been picked up and none gave me any inspiration
[14:09:54] <CoolHand> 555 days without heart (but not basketball)
[14:11:47] <CoolHand> A Guy Can Live Without a Heart, but not Hoops
[14:12:13] <nick> i prefer headlines to be as informative as possible but to do it with this one is quite torturous
[14:18:32] <CoolHand> changed to this: Living (and Hooping) 555 Days With No Heart -- feel free to change it if you don't like it - since I just changed my own story while 2nd'ing.. not real kosher (but I did confer) :)
[14:22:16] <nick> i think that works
[14:26:02] <CoolHand> cool.. thx for input
[14:27:03] <nick> would have been good if someone removed "- TechRaptor" from the end of the reddit headline
[14:33:09] <CoolHand> probly a good idea..
[14:41:25] <nick> popping out for a bit
[14:41:27] * nick hat tip
[14:50:10] * CoolHand tips hat
