[14:27:46] <chromas> Did you want it immediately or?
[14:27:54] <chromas> I guess you could 2nd and adjust the schedule
[14:28:38] <chromas> Oh, maybw takyon's working on it. He'll make it better
[14:33:33] <Bytram> well, it seems the news just broke within the past hour or two, so that's why I put it under "Breaking News", so I would suggest it might go out sooner than later. =)

[14:43:42] <chromas> or put a spacer row in or something
[14:43:45] <Bytram> ooooh.... I *like* that!
[14:44:04] <Bytram> maybe use bold or italics in the time field?
[14:44:16] <Bytram> brilliant!
[14:45:36] <Bytram> Also, while we are looking at that page, one thing that gets me on a non-wide monitor is that the text in each TD is vertically-aligned to the *center* of the cell height... would prefer to have: {vertical-align: top}
[14:47:51] <chromas> Isn't center default? Which I think is dum

[14:49:35] <takyon> yeah you don't want to use el reg's headlines most of the time
[14:50:15] <Bytram> agreed...
[14:51:02] <Bytram> saw the headlines in the #rss-bot feed, recognized importance of story, but they were the first to report it that I saw, so copy pasted... then looked for more sources... forgot to update headline.
[14:51:10] <Bytram> many thanks for having my back!!!
[14:51:35] <takyon> on the kardashev story, Universe Today either put megaparsec instead of kiloparsec, or put 1000x less light years
[14:51:51] <takyon> no way to know until I think about it
[14:51:52] <Bytram> yup, and there
[14:51:57] <Bytram> yup, and there's more....
[14:52:16] <Bytram> 20-50 Mpc, but having range in ly going from... high to low? (IIRC)
[14:52:19] <takyon> the correct units are probably in the arxiv
[14:52:28] * Bytram didn't see that link
[14:52:42] <Bytram> clicky
[14:53:14] <takyon> "could lead to the harvesting of stars within a region extending out to several tens of Mpc in radius"
[14:53:21] <takyon> I guess it really is megaparsecs
[14:53:56] <takyon> I would just correct the light year amounts (add three zeroes) rather than making a long-winded note
[14:54:18] <Bytram> https://arxiv.org
[14:54:51] <Bytram> yeah, but they have the order of explanations for the range incorrect, too... it's just rife with problems.
[14:55:21] <Bytram> 20 to 50 Megaparsecs (about 652,300 to 163,000 light-years).
[14:55:30] <takyon> yeah switch them
[14:55:33] <takyon> i'll email universe today
[14:55:36] <Bytram> 20 < 50, but 652,300 > 163,000
[14:55:45] <Bytram> ahhh.... just use elipsis!
[14:56:08] <Bytram> Are you in the story or can I edit it?
[14:56:48] * Bytram edits it
[14:57:31] <takyon> ust do it plzzz
[14:57:36] <Bytram> on it
[14:58:05] <takyon> it's actually much worse than what you think
[14:58:35] <Bytram> urk
[14:59:03] <takyon> the reason the range looks screwy is because the first number is supposed to be ~65 million light years
