[03:10:26] <Bytram> ugh, the plain text number matrixes in "Developing a GIMP Deblur Plugin [Original Content]" are a mess, and trying to manipulate it with the site UI is a royal pain...
[03:11:16] <Bytram> though not available to submitters, I replaced each of those with a proper table, and it looks much more readable, now (IMHO). cf: https://soylentnews.org
[03:13:00] <Bytram> cmn32480: umm, when a space station deorbits, you kinda want it to shred itself to pieces in the atmosphere, and hence blowup. ..
[03:13:16] <Bytram> I'm thinking that the dept: "damnit-we-forgot-the-heatshield" does not mean quite what you expected?
[03:13:46] <Bytram> maybe try something more along the lines of playing Missle Command?
[03:14:18] <Bytram> or keep it simpler: "What goes up..."
[03:14:28] <Bytram> changed it to that.
[03:14:40] <Bytram> feel free to change again if you'd prefer something else
[03:17:13] <Bytram> 2nded Worst Authentication experiences?
[03:17:23] <Bytram> ooops, missed a capitalize ther
[03:18:15] <Bytram> done
[03:18:25] <Bytram> okay, time for me to hit the hay.

[13:28:31] <Bytram> hey there... I blew it yesterday and got my days mixed up... somehow thought today was Monday and inadvertently released two stories one day early. Was able to catch out and postpone it a day (only had a few views and no comments when I noticed) but the other had too much activity. Please accept my apologies.

[13:51:45] <Bytram> could someone please check the youtube link in the "China Begins Operating World's Largest Radio Telescope" story?
[13:53:05] <cmn32480> chromas - it's a paddlin'
[13:53:47] * chromas hangs head in shame
[13:54:19] * cmn32480 has satisfied his correction quota for the day
[13:55:43] <cmn32480> bytram - youtube link is hardcore porn

[13:56:16] <Bender> karma - cmn32480: 64
[13:56:24] <Bytram> thanks for looking at it.
[13:56:27] <cmn32480> np
[13:56:39] <cmn32480> thought it could be hardcore porn after the first 90 seconds
[13:57:27] <Bytram> wouldn't surprise me to see someone on the site try to pull off such a stunt... thanks for checking!
[13:58:20] * Bytram is not looking forward to going to work today.

[14:07:58] <janrinok> ~gday Bytram - when you return to your kbd :)
[14:08:00] * exec cohesively twerks a caravan of active directory for Bytram
[14:09:17] * Bytram is working on a telekinetic interface to his keyboard and is attempting to type from across the room
[14:09:26] <janrinok> seems to be working ...
[14:09:27] <Bytram> ~gday janrinok
[14:09:29] * exec analiciously throws a bucket of sum yun gai at janrinok
[14:09:43] <janrinok> er, I'll pass that on to S
[14:09:47] <Bytram> gives new meaning to 'the long arm of the law', eh?
[14:10:07] <Bytram> spicy chicken lo mein is pretty good
[14:10:56] <Bytram> though I normally default to General Tso's chicken or Spicy Chicken with Cashews/Peanuts
[14:11:33] <janrinok> lo mein? I know what chow mein is, but lo mein
[14:12:02] <janrinok> I make all my own chinese sauces, so trade names mean little to me
[14:12:43] <Bytram> https://en.wikipedia.org
[14:12:44] <PC-Police> ^ 03Wiki: Lo mein
[14:12:58] <Bytram> "Lo mein is a Chinese dish with wheat flour noodles. It often contains vegetables and some type of meat or seafood, usually beef, chicken, pork, shrimp or wontons. It can also be eaten with just vegetables"
[14:13:13] <Bytram> http://chinesefood.about.com
[14:13:14] <PC-Police> ^ 03The Difference Between Lo Mein and Chow Mein
[14:14:15] <janrinok> ah, it's all in the noodles
[14:14:40] <Bytram> !grab janrinok
[14:14:40] <Bender> Added quote 36
[14:14:51] <Bytram> I dunno; struck me as funny, is all
[14:15:27] <janrinok> you are a sad man, Charlie Brown
[14:15:56] * Bytram has about the same amount of hair
[14:17:11] <janrinok> lol
[14:17:41] <Bytram> and about the same amount of luck in trying to kick a football
[14:17:42] <janrinok> I was just editing a story when I read that, and I typed the first reply in the wrong window - in fact, on the wrong computer
[14:17:49] <Bytram> LOL!
[14:18:01] <janrinok> good job you are here to 2nd them...!
[14:18:04] * Bytram should offer access to a telekinetic keyboard
[14:18:33] * Bytram needs to be at work in 2hrs

[14:21:43] * exec single-handedly pesters a dutch oven of Donald Trump's saliva with janrinok

[14:22:03] <Bytram> sssuffering sssuckotash!
[14:22:05] <janrinok> ~gday cmn32480
[14:22:09] * exec cromulently internalizes a chariot of cheesy poofs in cmn32480
[14:22:20] <janrinok> cuddles and ankle kicking?
[14:22:23] <Bytram> daughter_cuddles++
[14:22:23] <Bender> karma - daughter_cuddles: 1
[14:22:26] <cmn32480> no ankle kicking today
[14:22:32] <janrinok> ... yet
[14:22:41] <cmn32480> that happened 4 times yesterday while we were out w/ the Cub Scouts
[14:22:49] <cmn32480> 3 times I managed to not cus
[14:23:00] <cmn32480> the 4th time the F bobmb slipped out
[14:23:07] <janrinok> oops
[14:23:29] <cmn32480> kid accidentally kicked me right on the break
[14:23:36] <cmn32480> not one of my kids
[14:23:37] * Bytram helpfully offers a sleeve of pipe insulation to duct tape around cmn32480's ankle
[14:23:46] <janrinok> Bytram, haven't we already announced the manslaughter charge - I know I've seen it somewhere but cannot find it
[14:23:56] <Bytram> could well be.
[14:24:04] <cmn32480> I thinkit is all still in the sub queue
[14:24:20] <Bytram> I've been pretty unsuccessfully trying to wake up for the past 4 1/2 hrs.
[14:24:30] <cmn32480> both by gewg
[14:24:35] <Bytram> I just released it / one of them(?)
[14:24:54] * cmn32480 clicks refresh
[14:24:57] <Bytram> urgh.... loks like there is another story about it in the sub queue. :/
[14:25:08] <cmn32480> there are 2
[14:25:25] <cmn32480> one starts w/ "Update" and the one above it
[14:25:40] * Bytram self-flagellates with a wet [lo mein] noodle
[14:25:48] <janrinok> and Bytram just posted a third .... :)
[14:25:54] <Bytram> ~blame
[14:25:56] * exec points at Bytram
[14:26:25] <cmn32480> I read "flagellates" as somethign else and thought "how si that punishment..."
[14:26:41] * Bytram hangs head in somnambulance.
[14:27:01] <cmn32480> somnambulance - that's a paddlin'
[14:27:10] * Bytram fetches his canoe
[14:27:11] <janrinok> there have been worse cock-ups - I recall mine!
[14:27:23] <cmn32480> obviously... that's how I got 3 kids
[14:27:30] <Bytram> LOL!
[14:27:34] <cmn32480> oh
[14:27:35] <cmn32480> wait
[14:27:41] <cmn32480> that''s not at all what you meant is it?
[14:27:50] <janrinok> not exactly ...
[14:27:52] <cmn32480> damn brits and their slang
[14:28:05] * cmn32480 starts shitposting about British slang
[14:28:19] <Bytram> something about the brits and the bees, methinks
[14:29:09] <janrinok> a bit like US slang - 'shit posting' means 'smear campaign'
[14:29:22] <Bytram> no shit!
[14:29:24] <cmn32480> correct... /me reads scroll back
[14:29:26] <janrinok> lets abbreviate 2 words down to 2 words
[14:29:41] <cmn32480> use it one more time and the phrase is yours!
[14:29:48] <janrinok> don't want it!
[14:30:00] <Bytram> a pair of indivisible-language-units
[14:30:10] <chromas> is that what shitposting is?
[14:30:17] <cmn32480> apparently
[14:30:20] <cmn32480> it must be true
[14:30:24] <cmn32480> janrinok says so
[14:30:31] <chromas> I thought it was just kind of a superset of trolling or fishing for lulz
[14:30:43] <cmn32480> ~define shit posting
[14:30:44] <exec> shit posting: unable to find definition
[14:30:45] * chromas is in the good part of the US though
[14:30:51] <cmn32480> ~define shit post
[14:30:53] <exec> [urbandictionary] 03shitpost: To make utterly worthless and inane posts on an internet messageboard.
[14:31:01] <cmn32480> and there you have it
[14:31:15] <Bytram> chromas: I'm kinda with you, akin to 'defacing'
[14:31:31] <cmn32480> ~time chromas
[14:31:33] <exec> Sunday, 25 September 2016 @ 7:31 am GMT-7 - Walla Walla, WA, USA
[14:31:37] <Bytram> cf grafitti, without any positive connotations
[14:32:08] <janrinok> well, it was used in the Oculus Rift story, and I took it to mean the same as you have just quoted - however, they meant smear campaign, something much more serious in UK terms
[14:32:17] <cmn32480> note - there are two oculas rift back Trump stories
[14:32:24] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:32:32] <janrinok> the second explain what I didn't understand from the first
[14:32:39] <janrinok> explained*
[14:32:39] <cmn32480> one from arthur one from
[14:32:46] * chromas chants "merge! merge!"
[14:32:53] <Bytram> janrinok: and I did not understand the 'smear campaign' connotation, either.
[14:33:24] <janrinok> the Arthur version gives a lot more detail. A Smear Campaign can be a criminal offence in the UK
[14:33:33] <cmn32480> really?
[14:33:36] <janrinok> shit posting is 'yah boo sucks' sort of thing
[14:33:45] * cmn32480 had no idea
[14:33:56] <cmn32480> I learned somethign new, cna I go back to bed?
[14:34:04] <janrinok> we have very strong libel laws
[14:34:11] <chromas> Well I think some people are taking the political shitposting far too seriously; maybe they think it is smearing
[14:34:54] <Bytram> to me, 'shit posting' is somewhat analogous to 'trash talking'
[14:34:57] <Bytram> phone afk
[14:35:05] <chromas> For example, Hilary and da tv news actually talked about the green frog meme and its apparent association with white power racists
[14:35:28] <janrinok> well, that would have gone over my head too
[14:35:32] <chromas> Which just makes it more lulzy to keep making moar memes
[14:35:47] <Bytram> gtg... laters!
[14:36:03] <janrinok> bye
[14:36:08] <cmn32480> ~gngiht bytram

[14:36:17] * exec homogeneously fires a pit of litter box tootsie rolls at bytram
[14:36:25] <cmn32480> <sigh> I need a typoing class
[14:36:37] <janrinok> where can I buy an auto-encrypting keyboard like yours?
[14:36:52] <cmn32480> I do believe it requires a hand transplant
[14:37:02] <janrinok> or something a little higher
[14:37:42] <cmn32480> prolly
[14:41:44] * cmn32480 thinks he will take a page from TheMightyBuzzard's book and play some vidya
