[00:28:57] <Bytram> chromas: Thanks for keeping the story queue from running dry
[00:29:02] <Bytram> chromas++
[00:29:02] <Bender> karma - chromas: 39
[00:29:38] <chromas> I dunno about keeping from, but I put a little spit on it
[00:30:04] <Bytram> thanks for staying on the [spit] ball
[00:30:09] <chromas> should've made Procrastination the first one after the dry spell
[00:30:17] <Bytram> ROFL!
[00:30:26] <chromas> Start with the headline, and the story would be "I'll fill this in later"
[00:30:32] * Bytram looks around to see if I can find a couple stories for ya
[00:30:41] <chromas> Then in ~20 minutes, fill it in and fast-forward
[00:31:12] <chromas> I see the stories but I just can't brain them into summaries
[00:31:49] <chromas> or summeries
[00:31:57] <chromas> but it's been cool lately
[00:32:15] <Bytram> I understand the feeling -- it's been hot and humid here
[00:32:35] <chromas> ugh
[00:32:38] <chromas> or mugh
[00:33:13] <Bytram> I don't ever recall such a muggy summer, and I've heard many other people here share the same sentiment
[00:33:47] <chromas> Hasn't really been muggy around here. I guess it's because we don't have a lot of [deleted]
[00:36:42] <Bytram> moisture
[00:36:49] <Bytram> heat
[00:36:53] <chromas> Yeah, that's it
[00:36:59] * chromas shifty-eyes
[00:37:12] <Bytram> *chuckles*
[00:37:22] <Bytram> I *so* appreciate your quick wit!
[00:37:37] <Bytram> btw, had a nice e-mail exchange with JR today
[00:37:56] <Bytram> he's been overdoing it again, but seems to be in good spirits nonetheless
[00:38:13] <Bytram> as always, seems to be much more concerned about others than taking care of his own health.
[00:38:28] <Bytram> hey, got a favor to ask.
[00:38:33] <Bytram> I'm working on a story
[00:39:00] <chromas> Tell him to go take a break or we're gonna poke him with a stick
[00:39:10] <chromas> Yeah?
[00:39:15] <Bytram> did we run a story on how the border patrol treats anything within 100 miles of an entry point to the USA as being "searchable"
[00:39:17] <Bytram> ISTR we did.
[00:39:24] <Bytram> if so, I could use a linky for this story
[00:39:41] <Bytram> pretty sure it had the EFF in it, too
[00:40:31] <chromas> stupid rehash keeps putting an extry <p> in the blockquote
[00:40:48] * chromas searches
[00:41:36] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:41:38] <Bytram> thanks!

[00:48:05] <Bytram> yep, just found that one myself... but
[00:48:07] <chromas> "We already have constitution free zones within 100 100 miles of any border, and this provides a convenient framework"
[00:48:10] <chromas> not it?
[00:48:16] <Bytram> it is just a link to the EFF story, not our on it.
[00:48:22] <Bytram> will have to work for now.
[00:49:33] <Bytram> thanks for looking!
[00:49:48] <Bytram> fwiw, I tried to use the site's search function, gave up, and then turnd to DDG
[00:49:53] <chromas> You're welcome. Do you know how long ago it was?

[00:58:30] <chromas> lol, they mention Breaking Bad and link to a spinoff show
[00:59:27] <Bytram> ulp! Please fix or at least [sic] it!
[01:01:08] <chromas> well it is in the same 'universe' since it's a related show
[01:01:20] * chromas looks to see if any commenters mention it
[01:02:45] <chromas> Maybe they wrote it because it's a better-known show
[01:05:32] <Bytram> could be
[01:09:10] <chromas> I installed a footnote but you can change it if you want
[01:09:15] <chromas> (saved)
[01:10:41] * Bytram goes to look
[01:14:56] <Bytram> footnote is fine
[01:15:05] * Bytram appreciates your counting from 0, too
[01:16:34] <chromas> Maybe I should use the dagger

[01:17:12] <chromas> no unicode codepoint for cloak
