[01:22:24] <Bytram> takyon_: what's up?
[01:22:31] <takyon_> not much
[01:22:48] <Bytram> for me, up is the direction that I never managed to fall when I was drunk
[01:22:50] <takyon_> I spent about 20 minutes on that pregnancy sub
[01:23:00] * Bytram refreshes sub wqqueue
[01:23:36] <takyon_> also made a bunch of mr plow subs that are still around
[01:24:01] <Bytram> which story is it? I don't see any subs with "pregnan" in the title
[01:24:13] <takyon_> transgender
[01:24:36] <takyon_> in the sub notes I have identified two blocks of three articles for merger: 3 for realDonaldTrump being banned briefely, 3 for Broadcom/Qualcomm

[01:27:18] * Bytram lurvs the proposed Dept line... well done!
[01:27:33] <Bytram> trans @ 2017/11/06 14:24:00
[01:27:47] <takyon_> it was a way to not have to include the parenthetical in the story
[01:28:12] <takyon_> babies don't grow in one day!
[01:28:16] <Bytram> impressively well done
[01:28:23] <Bytram> we are fortunate for that, I suppose!
[01:28:47] <Bytram> Ever read "The Mythical Man Month" ??
[01:29:14] <takyon_> I know the concept
[01:29:19] <takyon_> and the xkcd comic
[01:29:37] <Bytram> excellent book that has stood the test of time in most respects...
[01:29:50] <Bytram> quick read IIRC, on the order of 100 pages
[01:29:54] <Bytram> 200 tops
[01:30:26] <Bytram> I cannot say I agree with all the recommendations, but the experiences outlined and the problems identified still ring true today.

[01:33:11] <takyon_> i'm really amused that my submission of lots of saudi stories has prepared us for this bombshell moment
[01:34:04] <Bytram> I'm not following you there... had a long day at work and have not kept abreast of the news... did I miss someting?
[01:34:26] <Bytram> I *am* aware about the shooting in TX, but am holding off on that until more concrete details are revealed
[01:35:17] <takyon_> Saudi Arabia arrested 11 princes
[01:35:23] <takyon_> p u r g e
[01:35:34] <Bytram> OH, that one... was about to look at it shortly.
[01:35:43] <takyon_> I don't think I heard about any shooting in TX
[01:35:48] <Bytram> you mean they had a purge in saudi arabia, or that I should purge it from the sub queue?
[01:35:59] * Bytram is tired and not following htings too well atm
[01:36:09] <takyon_> saudi purged a buncha princes
[01:36:19] <takyon_> holy fuckballs thats a lot of deaths in TX

[01:38:42] <takyon_> I'm willing to post a Breaking News TX submission if someone submits it, so you don't have to deal with it

[01:41:54] <Bytram> so far, the only coverage in our #rss-bot feed is: http://www.aljazeera.com

[01:42:23] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:42:51] <Bytram> I did a hear a report about it on NPR on my way home from work tonight... seemed like there was to be a press conf shortly
[01:43:16] * Bytram wishes he could remember the name of the local reporter / newspaper that was referenced
[01:43:42] <takyon_> KSAT San Antonio maybe
[01:43:58] <takyon_> "Highly Cited" in Google News
[01:44:06] <Bytram> Nope... newspaper, not TV

[01:46:21] <Bytram> The shooter was identified as Devin Kelley, 26.
[01:47:19] <Bytram> the church has a YouTube channel where they post services each week for the homebound parishoners so they don't miss out... don't know if *this* service was posted, but I doubt it.

[01:54:21] <Bytram> any report on number injured, in addition to those dead?
[01:55:25] <takyon_> it's in there
[01:55:27] <takyon_> says 20
[01:55:44] <Bytram> oooooops! now I see it.
[01:56:10] <Bytram> looks good... 2nded.
[01:57:22] <Bytram> didn't a different nexus automatically preface the title for us? I don't see "Breaking News:" in the title, whether I look in the story queue, or on the story, directly.
[01:57:34] <Bytram> other than that, looks good!
[01:57:37] <takyon_> umm
[01:57:38] <Bytram> takyon++
[01:57:38] <Bender> karma - takyon: 66
[01:58:01] <takyon_> I see it in a separate bar above the title
[01:58:12] <takyon_> I don;t know what circumstances cause it to be shown with the title
[01:58:55] <Bytram> me neither... could have been a different nexus and I was just projecting that like things should act in like ways.
[01:59:02] * Bytram is obviously being very silly
[01:59:10] <Bytram> :P
[01:59:16] <takyon_> i think I have seen that "Nexus" + colon + title thing before
[01:59:20] <takyon_> inb4 bug report
[01:59:28] <Bytram> good! glad it wasn't just me.
[01:59:41] <takyon_> it doesn't seem like a big deal, whatever it is
[01:59:52] <takyon_> I'll just be on the look out to see when it does or doesn't show up
[02:00:06] <Bytram> apprecaited!

[02:07:20] * Bytram hasn't played that... ever.
[02:07:37] <takyon_> sales probably fall of drastically after a certain point
[02:07:43] <takyon_> maybe eSports licensing?

[02:10:57] <takyon_> didn't they backport all new units to the base game anyway, unlike SC1: Brood War? I don't understand what people were actually buying other than a campaign
[02:14:47] <chromas> Yeah it was the campaign. Even the campaigns let you play a few missions with the other races.
