[03:55:35] <Bytram> .
[03:55:57] <Bytram> VERY much appreciated!
[03:57:14] * Bytram wonders which story cmn32480 will pick for his "round number" posting.
[03:58:10] <Bytram> have a great night everyone!
[12:38:07] <cmn32480> bytram - it'll be another duplicate.. or a political roundup of all the garbage that ari and rDT have left in the queue
[12:38:23] <Bytram> hmm
[12:38:27] <Bytram> how 'bout a merge?

[12:39:37] <Bytram> inquiring minds want to know!
[12:39:54] <cmn32480> lol
[12:40:24] <Bytram> as justification you could say you picked a pecker for your 3000th
[12:40:46] * Bytram wonders if there is a story out there involving pickled peppers
[12:40:57] <Bytram> #g pickled peppers
[12:40:57] <MrPlow> https://cookieandkate.com - "If I had to characterize the past week in two words, they would be: pepper problems. These peppers gave me all sorts of trouble! I'd made these quick-pickled ..."
[12:41:10] <cmn32480> there was one about Bezos's pecker
[12:41:21] <cmn32480> but that isn't quite the same
[12:41:21] <Bytram> yeah, that was the firstone I listed here

[12:41:51] * cmn32480 doens't wanna go to DC today
[12:42:27] * Bytram suggests that cmn32480 try AC, instead
[12:42:42] <cmn32480> not shocking that you woudl suggest that
[12:42:56] <cmn32480> but I will say you seem quite plugged in
[12:43:02] * Bytram had a delayed reaction on that one.
[12:43:05] <Bytram> coffee++
[12:43:05] <Bender> karma - coffee: 93
[12:43:13] <Bytram> cmn32480++ good one!
[12:43:13] <Bender> karma - cmn32480: 101
[12:43:33] <Bytram> maybe with the AC comment being so bad, I should just cooo it for a while?
[12:43:42] <Bytram> maybe with the AC comment being so bad, I should just cool it for a while?
[12:43:55] <cmn32480> now you are just impedeing the process
[12:44:27] <Bytram> with a superconducting material, resistance is futile
[12:45:02] <cmn32480> now I'm all amped up
[12:45:12] <Bytram> #g mho
[12:45:13] <MrPlow> https://mho.sutterhealth.org - "Convenience at your fingertips Sutter's My Health Online connects over 1 million patients like you to their doctors and health records anytime, anywhere."
[12:45:18] <Bytram> lol
[12:45:23] <Bytram> #g mho resistance
[12:45:24] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org(unit) - "The siemens (symbol: S) is the derived unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance and electric admittance in the International System of Units (SI). Conductance, susceptance, and admittance are the reciprocals of resistance ... A name that is used as an alternative to the siemens is the mho /moʊ/, the reciprocal of one ..."
[12:45:50] <Bytram> need mho resistance?
[12:47:01] <Bytram> of course, if you run enough AC/DC music around metal, you'll get something magnetic
[12:48:51] <Bytram> but seriously, what's happening in DC today?
[12:49:19] <cmn32480> customer meeting that could more easily be accomplished with a conference call
[12:49:44] <Bytram> all the better to be there in person when you glare at them for making a dumb request?
[12:50:02] <cmn32480> just at the sales rep. supposed to be nice to the customers
[12:50:39] <Bytram> keep them from making impossible/unreasonable promises
[12:51:09] <cmn32480> yep
[12:51:28] <cmn32480> this is a meeting that the account rep should be able to handle with some demo equipment and spec sheets.
[12:51:32] <Bytram> so, an element of self-preservation and sanity retention
[12:51:51] <cmn32480> my presence is simply a test of seeing if they cna make me go places.... and therefore it is a massive waste of time
[12:52:20] <Bytram> drive around in circles to get more milage reimbursement... couldn't find a parking space.
[12:52:28] <Bytram> j/k
[12:52:36] <cmn32480> I'm not above doing that
[12:53:26] <Bytram> temp is still dropping, here. on the cusp of hitting single-digit temps
[12:53:52] <cmn32480> ewwww
[12:53:57] <cmn32480> we are hoving in the low 30s
[12:54:03] <cmn32480> just enough to get freezing rain
[12:54:12] <cmn32480> and sleet... but not enough to get us snow
[12:54:15] <Bytram> dur for about 6" of snow overnight
[12:54:19] <Bytram> s/r/e/
[12:54:21] <exec> <Bytram> due for about 6" of snow overnight
[12:54:28] <cmn32480> or not a decent amount of snow to be able to cancel this stupid meeting
[12:54:37] <cmn32480> we got about 4 yesterday
[12:54:42] <cmn32480> and now it is just crap
[12:54:58] <Bytram> oh, goody. followed by skeet and freezing rain. :/
[12:55:04] <Bytram> s/k/l/
[12:55:06] <exec> <Bytram> oh, goody. followed by sleet and freezing rain. :/
[12:55:45] <Bytram> seems like it is tip top typo training time
[12:56:21] * Bytram does not mind driving in poor weather, but does have concerns about the others on the road.
[12:57:49] <Bytram> so, all in all, it sounds like a relatively quiet day for you while you are there. Just keep an eye on the sales guy, and take it easy.
[13:00:26] <cmn32480> I wore steel toes incase I have to kick him under the table
[13:00:49] <Bytram> *chuckles*
[13:01:10] * cmn32480 sharpens his steel toe(nails)
[13:01:33] * Bytram wonders if you can have a nice lunch on the company dime?
[13:13:36] <cmn32480> bytram is not wrong.
[13:13:57] <cmn32480> we were in manhattan last week. Went to harolds New York Deli for lunch
[13:14:05] <Bytram> noice
[13:14:09] <cmn32480> #g Harolds new york deli
[13:14:10] <MrPlow> http://haroldsfamousdeli.com - "HAROLD'S NY DELI (EDISON) DOES NOT CHARGE A FEE FOR USING CREDIT CARDS, THANK YOU HAROLD JAFFE, OWNER OF HAROLD'S NY DELI IN ..."
[13:14:26] <cmn32480> go look at the sammiches
[13:14:28] <Bytram> and, should it take longer than expected, they would not want you to head home late without having dinner. right?
[13:16:16] <Bytram> $$$$
[13:16:43] * Bytram could get a nice filet mignon for that price!
[13:17:30] <cmn32480> yes.. but each sammich feeds 3 people
[13:17:38] <cmn32480> and the pastrami is to die for
[13:17:40] <Bytram> 3 dieting people?
[13:18:04] <Bytram> serving size is a mythical number designed to make dieters feel guilty
[13:18:28] <cmn32480> no... 3 decent sized adults who want to walk out and go into a food coma
[13:18:45] <Bytram> well, yeah, there's no accounting for taste, true
[13:18:48] <Bytram> really?
[13:18:51] <cmn32480> really
[13:18:58] <Bytram> Gosh... you mean you actually get what you paid for?
[13:19:09] <Bytram> what IS this world coming to?
[13:19:13] <Bytram> =)
[13:19:24] <cmn32480> me and another guy had about 1/3 of the meat left and a bunch of the chili chees fries
[13:19:48] <Bytram> strange, the description says a large sandwich feeds 1-3 people
[13:20:03] <Bytram> good for you!!!!!!
[13:21:11] <cmn32480> I wanted to eat more
[13:21:17] <cmn32480> but I was afraid I woudl puke
[13:21:29] <Bytram> thas no fun
[13:21:37] <Bytram> doggie bag?
[13:21:42] <cmn32480> hell yeah
[13:21:47] <Bytram> ROFL!
[13:21:52] <cmn32480> and the hot pastrami was just as good the next day heated back up
[13:22:02] <Bytram> yum!
[13:22:16] <Bytram> so you might want to start making your lunch plans, now.
[13:24:08] <Bytram> only half-jokingly, but eat one of Trump's restaurants (he' gotta have one in his hotels, no?) and then you can say -- from experience -- how it measured up.

[18:22:39] <mrpg> At work I have two backups for the website and the config files. If anything happens, I should be back on 16 hours. Maybe. Perhaps.
[18:23:49] <Bytram> yes, that's why Eric Saindon (SFX) and Robert Rodriguez (director) are working on "Alita - Battle Angel" instead of Cameron
[18:24:20] <mrpg> Download and install debian: 4 hours (slow internet) install programs: 1 hour, config them: 1 hour, mailserver: 2 hours, webserver maybe 30 minutes, mariaDB maybe 30 too.

[18:26:18] * Bytram met Eric while he was working on "The Hobbit" -- very unassuming and not at all pretentious. Would have absolutely no idea he did anything special except he was wearing a hoodie with silhouettes of the characters on it... I mentioned it was a neat hoodie, were'd he get it? He replied he worked on the movie. Looked up his name, later, and was dumbfounded by his background and experience.
