[02:02:43] <SoyGuest67927> I was studying calculus, following in the steps of Newrton and LEibniz, saw the queue empty and came to do something.

[02:04:37] <mrpg> I wanted to put (x) as in a function but it doesnt let me use (
[02:04:50] * Bytram chuckles
[02:05:09] <mrpg> Or maybe it complained cause of the ")" hehe
[02:05:42] <Bytram> why not both? ;)

[02:08:42] <Bytram> mrpg: looks like you are already in the spacex story... backing out
[02:08:46] <mrpg> ok
[02:08:57] <Bytram> note: *I* am backing out
[02:09:37] <mrpg> Thank you.
[02:09:52] <mrpg> SpaceX ready

[02:14:48] <mrpg> well well well, spank my butt and call me susy. Who would have thought?
[02:15:36] <mrpg> In the leukemia submission, do I leave two blockquotes or should I use a [...] to separate the paragrasphs as always? https://soylentnews.org

[02:16:06] <Bytram> mrpg: are you still working on it?
[02:16:19] <mrpg> yes
[02:16:25] <Bytram> k.
[02:16:45] <Bytram> Let me know when you've saved it and I'll take a look...
[02:17:33] <Bytram> generally, I stick with a single blockquote, and use <p>[...] later text from the doc</p> to show omissions
[02:18:31] <mrpg> Saved it.
[02:18:36] <mrpg> Me too, but this submission has two separated blockquotes. Looks fancy.
[02:18:57] * Bytram goes in to look
[02:19:53] <Bytram> looks... confusing to me... like there was stuff from two different sources, but they forgot to tell me where the other stuff came from.
[02:20:13] <mrpg> hmm right. I'll change it to the usual way.
[02:20:21] <Bytram> I'm in it already/...
[02:20:28] <Bytram> I'll taske dare of it while I 2nd it
[02:20:33] <Bytram> *take care of it
[02:21:13] <mrpg> Oh I just did it :-)
[02:21:24] <mrpg> I'll do "Pupils Find Spellchecker 'Cheat' In Literacy Test"
[02:21:36] * Bytram backs out of the leukemia story
[02:22:22] * cmn32480 backs out of a parking space
[02:22:47] * Bytram strews around a few pointy things and whistles as he walks away
[02:22:54] <mrpg> The kids cheating should be "security" but I'll use "software" :-)
[02:23:15] <Bytram> break time... dishes
[02:23:52] <cmn32480> so I have a dilemma
[02:24:14] <cmn32480> I've been asked to become wither the Cubmaster or the Comittee Chair for the Cub Scout pack.
[02:24:33] <cmn32480> and I wanna take the Cub Master Job...

[02:25:07] <cmn32480> but I'll get more otu of being the Cub Master
[02:25:16] <Bytram> ummm.... Delegate!!

[02:25:32] <exec> 577 stories loaded
[02:25:33] <cmn32480> agreed
[02:25:42] <cmn32480> but the guy who is the current CM is going to stay on a year
[02:25:45] <cmn32480> more or less
[02:25:59] <cmn32480> the CC is looking to be out like yesterday
[02:26:46] <Bytram> here's a silly question... but WHY? Why does the CC want out so drastically?
[02:27:16] <mrpg> hackers kids - ready
[02:27:18] <cmn32480> he is moving up to the troop to tak e over as CC there
[02:27:49] <Bytram> ahh, out of the cub scouts and on to the boy scouts, then?
[02:28:02] <cmn32480> since the current CC at the troop is looking to retire (her son made Eagle) he is looking to take over the job
[02:28:07] <cmn32480> basically
[02:28:27] <Bytram> ok
[02:28:31] <mrpg> I'll do "fourth leak"
[02:28:44] <cmn32480> I took one already... but thanks for the reminder
[02:28:48] <Bytram> mrpg: that was quick!
[02:28:55] <cmn32480> the CM is the face of the organization.
[02:29:12] <cmn32480> the CC is supposed ot be more of a behind the scenses position
[02:29:22] <mrpg> My nameis barry allen and I'm the fastest man alive.
[02:29:32] <cmn32480> just a Flash in the pan
[02:29:50] <Bytram> as much as there are many things that I would like to do, time constraints limit my ability to do all of them. So, I leave some things off... you are already at about (or past) max from what I can tell... what is *reasonably* possible for you?
[02:29:53] <cmn32480> and not somethign that your wife wants to hear
[02:30:14] <cmn32480> telling everybody to go piss up a rope and finding a beach and a beer?
[02:30:36] <Bytram> if that works for ya...
[02:31:11] <Bytram> you may qualify which beach and what time of year... your choice of brew may be important to you, too.
[02:31:14] <cmn32480> I'd prefer a mountain cabin... but whatever
[02:31:30] * Bytram rings up this place in Nepal
[02:32:00] <cmn32480> nah.. I don't like getting that high
[02:32:04] <Bytram> ok, really do need to do dishes... just finished dinner.
[02:32:13] <cmn32480> ok
[02:32:19] <Bytram> But but but...it's all downhill from there!
[02:32:25] <Bytram> afk
[02:32:32] <cmn32480> and avalanche of good ideas you are
[02:38:40] <mrpg> 4th problem ready
[02:41:15] <mrpg> That's all bye.

[02:43:19] <mrpg> not healthy but I like the smell.
[02:44:48] <cmn32480> is refactored gasoline like running it throgh the cracking tower and getting the lighter stuff higher up?

[12:20:28] <Bytram> hey gang... sorry I've not been very productive lately. IRL has become much busier as we have been short-staffed at work and we have all had to put in many extra (and busier) hours to cover the shortfall.
[12:20:50] <Bytram> sadly... don't know when things will lighten up.
[12:21:07] <Bytram> thanks so much for carrying the torch and keeping the story queue filled!
